Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Minerco Resources, Inc. (“Minerco” or the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Minerco’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2014 as reported in Minerco’s Form 10-K have been omitted.
On October 24, 2014, through its subsidiary, Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc.(the “Purchaser”) (“Level 5”), the Company entered into an Agreement (the “Membership Interest Purchase Agreement”) with Avanzar Sales and Distribution, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (“Avanzar”) to acquire an initial thirty percent (30%) equity position and fifty-one percent (51%) voting interest for the Purchase Price of $500,000 with an option to acquire an additional twenty-one percent (21%) interest and Second Option to acquire up to seventy-five percent (75%) of Avanzar. The acquisition broadens our base in the consumer packaged goods industry through vertical integration. The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. As of April 30, 2015, all 3 options have been exercised.
The Acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for business combinations and accordingly, the Company’s assets and liabilities, excluding deferred income taxes, were recorded using their fair value as of October 24, 2014. Under SEC rules, Avanzar is considered the predecessor business to Minerco given Avanzar’s significant size compared to Minerco at the date of acquisition
The basis of presentation is not consistent between the successor and predecessor entities and the financial statements are not presented on a comparable basis. As a result, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) are presented for two different reporting entities:
Successor — relates to the financial periods and balance sheets succeeding the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement; and
Predecessor — relates to the financial periods preceding the Acquisition (prior to October 24, 2014).
Unless otherwise indicated, the “Company” as used throughout the remainder of the notes, refers to both the Successor and Predecessor.
2. Going Concern
The Company was incorporated in Nevada on June 21, 2007. The Company was engaged in the exploration stage from its June 21, 2007 (inception) to May 27, 2010. In May 2010, it shifted its focus to developing, producing, and providing clean, renewable energy solutions in Central America. On October 16, 2012, the Company added an additional line of business, Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc., a progressive specialty beverage retailer which is now its primary focus. The Company has decided to divest of itself of its clean, renewable energy projects in Central America. The Company has evaluated its clean energy projects in Central America and has determined they are too capital intensive to pursue at this time. On May 5, 2015, effective April 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with MSF International, Inc. a Belize corporation (the "Purchaser") for the sale to the Purchaser of all the Company's rights and title and interest in its (i) Chiligatoro Hydro-Electric Project and its earned interest therein; (ii) Iscan Hydro-Electric Project and its 10% royalty interest therein; and (iii) its Syab Wind Project and its 6% royalty interest therein (the “Assets”) .The purchase price consists of the assumption of Thirty Two Thousand Six Hundred Forty-Two US Dollars ($32,642) of certain accounts payable of the Company and a note in the principal amount of Six Hundred Eighty Two Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty US Dollars ($682,850) Dollars, accruing interest at a rate of 5% per annum, with interest payable quarterly commencing September 1, 2015 and the principal balance thereof and accrued and unpaid interest due and payable twelve (12) months after the date of its closing.
The Company has transitioned its focus to its specialty beverage market retailer, Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc. and its products.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three month period ended April 30, 2015, the Company has an accumulated deficit and minimal revenue. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company intends to fund operations through equity and debt financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending July 31, 2015.
3. Accounting Policies
Revenue recognition – The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonable assured. This typically occurs when the product is shipped for our manufacturing business and when it is delivered for our distribution business. We review the need for a sales allowance quarterly based on historical experience with each customer and the specifics of each arrangement. There were no sales allowance for the periods August 1, 2014 to October 24, 2014, October 25, 2014 to April 30, 2015 and the three and nine months ended April 30, 2014.
Inventories - Inventories consist primarily of raw materials and packaging (which includes ingredients and supplies) and finished goods. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. We determine cost on the basis of first-in, first-out methods.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - We classify intangible assets into three categories: (1) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization, (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization and (3) goodwill. We determine the useful lives of our identifiable intangible assets after considering the specific facts and circumstances related to each intangible asset. Factors we consider when determining useful lives include the contractual term of any agreement related to the asset, the historical performance of the asset, the Company's long-term strategy for using the asset, any laws or other local regulations which could impact the useful life of the asset, and other economic factors, including competition and specific market conditions. Intangible assets that are deemed to have definite lives are amortized, primarily on a straight-line basis, over their useful lives, generally ranging from 1 to 20 years. Refer to Note 4.
When facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of definite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of the carrying value by preparing estimates of sales volume and the resulting gross profit and cash flows. These estimated future cash flows are consistent with those we use in our internal planning. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount, we recognize an impairment loss. The impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset (or asset group) exceeds the fair value. We use a variety of methodologies to determine the fair value of these assets, including discounted cash flow models, which are consistent with the assumptions we believe hypothetical marketplace participants would use.
We test intangible assets determined to have indefinite useful lives, including trademarks, franchise rights and goodwill, for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that assets might be impaired. Our Company performs these annual impairment reviews as of the first day of our third fiscal quarter. We use a variety of methodologies in conducting impairment assessments of indefinite-lived intangible assets, including, but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, which are based on the assumptions we believe hypothetical marketplace participants would use. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, prior to completing the impairment test described above. The Company must assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes that this is the case, it must perform the testing described above. Otherwise, the Company does not need to perform any further assessment.
The goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step process, if necessary. The first step is to compare the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. We typically use discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of a reporting unit. The assumptions used in these models are consistent with those we believe hypothetical marketplace
participants would use. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the second step of the impairment test must be performed in order to determine the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment of goodwill prior to completing the two-step process described above to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill and other intangible assets. If the Company concludes that this is the case, it must perform the two-step process. Otherwise, the Company will forego the two-step process and does not need to perform any further testing.
Impairment charges related to intangible assets are generally recorded in the line item other operating charges or, to the extent they relate to equity method investees, in the line item equity income (loss) — net in our consolidated statements of income.
Trade Accounts Receivable - Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. We review the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly based on historical experience with each customer and the specifics of each arrangement. There were no allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods August 1, 2014 to October 24, 2014, October 25, 2014 to April 30, 2015 and the three and nine months ended April 30, 2014.
Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment obtained in business acquisitions are recorded at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. Expenditures for new property, plant and equipment, and improvements that extend the useful life or functionality of the asset are recorded at their cost of acquisition or construction. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the asset, and are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Investments - Investments include available-for-sale securities. The net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income taxes.
Research and Development - Research and development costs, which consist primarily of outside labor, material and equipment, are expensed as incurred.

The brand has not yet been released commercially and as of April 30, 2015, it was written off and the company recognized an expense of $10,000.
10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets
with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related party. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
The following table sets forth by level with the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on April 30, 2015.

11. Convertible note payable and derivative liabilities
Prior the acquisition date and during the period August 1, 2014 to October 24, 2014, Minerco had received proceeds of $250,000 from a convertible promissory note. The note carries an interest rate of 8%. The note is convertible at a variable conversion price of 50% of the market price and shall be calculated using the lowest trading days during the preceding 20 days before conversion. Minerco also had $159,250 in convertible promissory notes in remaining outstanding balances as of October 24, 2014. These notes carry interest rates between 0% and 8% and are convertible at a variable conversion price of a fixed price of $0.00025 or 50% of the market price and shall be calculated using the lowest trading days during the preceding 5 to 20 days before conversion. The total principal due at October 24, 2014 and April 30, 2015 is $409,250 with an unamortized discount of $296,219 resulting in a balance of $113,031 and $125,000 with an unamortized discount of $55,822 resulting in a balance of $69,178 respectively.
The Predecessor did not have derivative liabilities as of July 31, 2014.
Due to their being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options embedded in the Convertible Promissory Notes, the options are classified as derivative liabilities and recorded at fair value.
Derivative Liability:
As of April 30, 2015, the fair values of the conversion options on the convertible notes was determined to be $161,652 using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Upon the issuance dates of the Convertible Promissory Notes, $250,000 was recorded as debt discount and $235,037 was recorded as day one loss on derivative liability. During the nine months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded a gain on mark-to-market of the conversion options of $5,335 and $0, respectively. As of April 30, 2015 and July 31, 2014, the aggregate unamortized discount is $55,822 and $0, respectively.
The following table summarizes the derivative liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheet at April 30, 2015:
|

Write off due to conversion | (975,216 | ) |
Balance at April 30, 2015 (Successor) | 161,652 |
|
Pursuant to ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” the Company recognized the fair value of the embedded conversion feature of all the notes of $161,652. The initial fair value of the derivative liability was determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model with a quoted market price of $0.0045 to $0.012, a conversion price of $0.00025 to $0.0046, expected volatility of 27% to 270%, no expected dividends, an expected term of one year and a risk-free interest rate of 0.01% to 0.10%. The discount on the convertible loan is accreted over the term of the convertible loan. During the period October 25, 2014 to ended April 30, 2015, the Company recorded accretion of $240,397.
12. Debt
Prior to the Acquisition date of October 24, 2014, Minerco had outstanding balances of $1,350,000 on its line of credit and $25,000 in notes payable under Level 5. Both of these are described below.
Minerco Line of Credit

19. Correction of Prior Quarter Information
During the period October 25, 2014 to April 30, 2015, the Company identified an error in the July 31, 2014 previous period which included an understatement in sales offset by overstatement of prepaid expense and inventory and the understatement of account payable.

Business Overview
Minerco Resources, Inc. was incorporated as a Nevada company on June 21, 2007, our only two subsidiaries are Level 5 and Minerco Honduras S.A. and our indirect subsidiary is Avanzar Sales and Distribution. From our inception in June 2007 through May 27, 2010, we were engaged in the acquisition of interests and leases in oil and natural gas properties. In May 2010, we changed the focus of our business to the development, production and provision of clean, renewable energy solutions in Central America. In October, 2012, we created our functional specialty beverage retailer, Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc., which has become our primary focus. On October 24, 2014, we acquired majority voting control of Avanzar Sales and Distribution, LLC, a sales and distribution company which increased our breadth in the beverage industry through vertical integration. As of September 20, 2013, we completely discontinued operations of our Renewable Energy line of business. On May 5, 2015, effective April 30, 2015, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with MSF International, Inc. a Belize corporation for the sale to the Purchaser of all our rights and title and interest in its (i) Chiligatoro Hydro-Electric Project and its earned interest therein; (ii) Iscan Hydro-Electric Project and its 10% royalty interest therein; and (iii) its Sayab Wind Project and its 6% royalty interest therein (the “Assets”). The purchase price shall consist of MSF assuming Thirty Two Thousand Six Hundred Forty-two US Dollars ($32,642) of certain accounts payable of the Company and a note payable by MSF to the Company in the principal amount of Six Hundred Eighty Two Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty US Dollars ($682,850) Dollars, accruing interest at a rate of 5% per annum, with interest payable quarterly commencing September 1, 2015 and the principal balance thereof and accrued and unpaid interest due and payable twelve (12) months after the date of its closing.
Specialty Beverage Business
In September, 2012, we commenced operations of Level 5, a specialty beverage company, which develops, produces, markets and distributes a diversified portfolio of natural and highly functional brands. Level 5 has developed or acquired exclusive rights to five separate and distinct brands: VitaminFIZZ®, VitaminCreamer®, Island Style™, COFFEE BOOST™ and LEVEL 5®. Minerco has established a sixth brand, The Herbal Collection™, to add to our brand portfolio. The rights to The Herbal Collection™ has been assigned to us by Level 5.
We organically developed the LEVEL 5® and COFFEE BOOST™ Brands, and we acquired the exclusive, worldwide rights to the VitaminFIZZ® Brand from VITAMINFIZZ, L.P. in November, 2013. In 2014, we acquired 100% of the right, title and intellectual property to the Vitamin Creamer® Brand. We acquired Island Style™ with the acquisition of Avanzar. The current focus of our business is on the VitaminFIZZ® brand. We are currently completing the Research and Development of the VitaminCreamer® and The Herbal Collection™ brands.

Our Brands
VitaminFIZZ® Brand
VitaminFIZZ®, developed by Power Brands Consulting, LLC in 2010, was launched in 2014 and is a zero calorie, vitamin enhanced lightly sparkling water, similar in concept to the popular VitaminWater®, only in carbonated format. VitaminFIZZ® contains 100% of daily vitamin C, 100% of daily vitamin B and is zero calories. VitaminFIZZ® is also non-GMO (no
genetically modified organism) and is certified Kosher. Level 5 acquired the exclusive, worldwide rights to VitaminFIZZ® in November, 2013.
We launched VitaminFizz® in August, 2014 in Southern California and New York City locations. The 17 oz. slim plastic bottle packaging has been very well received. VitaminFIZZ® is currently available in six (6) flavors: Lemon-Lime, Mango-Orange, Strawberry-Watermelon, Black Raspberry, Strawberry Lemonade and Coconut-Pineapple. .
As of June 1, 2015, VitaminFIZZ® is available in over 1,500 retail locations in Southern California, New York City and Las Vegas and is also available on our online store at Amazon.com.
As of June 2015, VitaminFIZZ® had produced over 105,000 cases of six flavors.
More details about the VitaminFIZZ® Brand are available from our brand website at: www.vitamin-fizz.com. Information from our website is not incorporated into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
VitaminCreamer® Brand
In June, 2014, we acquired 100% of the right, title and intellectual property to the VitaminCreamer® Brand.
The primary driver behind VitaminCreamer® is the ever growing trend of “good for you” or “better for you” in the food, beverage, health supplement, cosmetics and other consumable products industry. For example, Pepsi is split into 2 categories of product (1) Fun for You; and (2) Good for You. The CEO of Pepsi Co. has been widely scrutinized by shareholders and investors for empathizing (even over-empathizing) the “Good for You” brands. The CEO of Pepsi is looking to the future and we are doing just the same.
VitaminCreamer®, is expected to be the 1st and only highly vitamin fortified creamer available in US or the global market, meets these “good for you” needs by focusing on natural ingredients as well as supplying multiple, essential daily vitamin / mineral requirements. VitaminCreamer® replaces artificial and non-fortified competitors in a multi-billion dollar market that is rapidly growing annually.
Vitamin Creamer® with Coffee Boost™ (or Boost): Merging these two cutting edge concepts into one powerful range of products seems to be inevitable to us. The VitaminCreamer® with Boost range of coffee creamer and enhancement products will solidify Level 5’s position in the very strong and very lucrative coffee and creamer markets. Level 5 intends to merge the brands to include a range of cutting edge products with 2 main drivers: (1) adding to consumers’ nutritional and vitamin intake; and (2) add function and flavor to the coffee drinkers’ experience.
The VitaminCreamer® product line will include three functions: (1) Vitamin Creamer - Original; (2) Vitamin Creamer Boost; and (3) Vitamin Creamer Relax. The Original version is not expected to interfere with the daily coffee but will enhance the nutritional value; the Boost version will provide all the benefits of the Original version and will also add an enhanced energy boost; and the Relax version will provide all the benefits of the Original version and will also take the edge off for caffeine sensitive consumers.
The VitaminCreamer® product line will include at least two packaging sizes: (1) Trial / Single-serve size (2 oz.) for on-the-go consumers; and (2) Take home size (12 oz.) for daily home and/or office consumers. The available flavors and exact volume specifications per container will be released at a later date.
Level 5 with PowerBrands, a leading beverage development company in the US, are diligently working with the supplement and ingredient suppliers to create this cutting-edge breakthrough in the coffee and creamer market. PowerBrands with their award winning food scientists and highly decorated package design team, who also created the stand alone brands of VitaminCreamer® and CoffeeBoost™, are fully dedicated to and actively creating the world’s leading coffee and creamer products for Level 5.
Exact specifications and dates are to be determined (TBD); however, we expect VitaminCreamer® to be finalized in mid calendar year 2015.
COFFEE BOOST™ Brand
COFFEE BOOST™ is the 2nd Generation of the LEVEL 5™ - RISE™ product and is dual designed to be taken “straight up” or added to coffee for an all-natural, healthy alternative to synthetic flavored creamers and powders and was developed to
provide all the benefits of the LEVEL 5™ Brand (great taste, functionality, low calories, and all-natural ingredients in a 2.5 oz. bottle). Currently, the sku’s include:
|
| |
1. | COFFEE BOOST™ – Coffee |
|
| |
2. | COFFEE BOOST™ – French Vanilla |
|
| |
3. | COFFEE BOOST™ – Hazelnut |
COFFEE BOOST™ is packaged in slender 2.5 oz. PET (plastic) bottles, which are sophisticated in design and offer on-the-go convenience. The logo, graphics, and copy are designed to communicate the key branding elements: dual designed energy supplement in multiple coffee based flavors. The brand is premium priced, with a retail price of $2.99 for one 2.5 oz. container; however, the product will be sold in multiple formats including blister packs and sample packs of all four current flavors at a discount.
With the acquisition of VitaminCreamer® in 2014, we plan to incorporate Coffee Boost™ (name and functionality) into the VitaminCreamer® product line.
More details about the COFFEE BOOST™ Brand are available from our brand website at: www.drinkcoffeeboost.com. Information from our website is not incorporated into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
LEVEL 5® Brand
The LEVEL 5® product line features four (4) distinct varieties, each with a unique flavor profile aimed at addressing a specific targeted result. LEVEL 5® is positioned as a lifestyle brand, with a delicious and convenient easy-to-drink shot format.
|

● | RISE™ (Energy Supplement) |
|
| |
● | CURVES (Women’s Supplement) |
|
| |
● | ARMOR (Wellness Supplement) |
|
| |
● | FLEX (Workout Supplement) |
All LEVEL 5® products are formulated with proprietary blends of amino acids, essential vitamins and minerals, and natural adaptogens.

PET (plastic) bottles, which are sophisticated in design and offer on-the-go convenience. The logo, graphics, and copy are designed to communicate the key branding elements: energy, wellness, protection, and stamina.

We intend to continue to seek partners to develop specialty products for the Level 5® Brand: RISE™ with rapidly deployed personnel, FLEX with a gym/fitness chains, CURVES with a women’s health specialist and ARMOR with wellness / health care groups.
More details about the LEVEL 5™ Brand are available from our brand website at: www.level5energy.com. Information from our website is not incorporated into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Distribution Business
On October 24, 2014 (Effective September 15, 2014), we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Avanzar Sales and Distribution, LLC to acquire the controlling interest in Avanzar. Level 5 acquired an initial thirty percent (30%) equity position and fifty-one percent (51%) voting interest in Avanzar for the Purchase Price of $500,000 with a twenty-one percent (21%) interest in Avanzar and Second Option to acquire up to an aggregate of seventy-five percent (75%) interest in Avanzar.

Avanzar distributes products to some of the most trusted retailers in the United States, including Kroger, Albertsons, HEB, Golub (Price Chopper), Whole Foods, Walgreens, 7-Eleven, Tesoro, Circle K, Chevron, Kmart, Gelson's and Winco.
Renewable Energy Projects
As of September 20, 2013, we completely discontinued operations of our Renewable Energy line of business. On May 5, 2015, effective April 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with MSF International, Inc. a Belize corporation (the "Purchaser") for the sale to the Purchaser of all the Company's rights and title and interest in its (i) Chiligatoro Hydro-Electric Project and its earned interest therein; (ii) Iscan Hydro-Electric Project and its 10% royalty interest therein; and (iii) its Syab Wind Project and its 6% royalty interest therein (the “Assets”) .The purchase price shall consist of the assumption of Thirty Two Thousand Six Hundred Forty-two US Dollars ($32,642) of certain accounts payable of the Company and a note in the principal amount of Six Hundred Eighty Two Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty US Dollars ($682,850) Dollars, accruing interest at a rate of 5% per annum, with interest payable quarterly commencing September 1, 2015 and the principal balance thereof and accrued and unpaid interest due and payable twelve (12) months after the date of its closing.
Business Operations
In August, 2014, we launched VitaminFIZZ in the key markets of New York City and Southern California. VitaminFIZZ is available in over 1,500 high volume locations and online at Amazon.com. As of June 2015, we have produced more than 105,000 cases of VitaminFIZZ.
We had generated revenue of $475,803 and $1,383,495 during period August 1 to October 24, 2014 and October 25 to April 30, 2015 respectively, we had an accumulated deficit of $(26,685,020), a stockholder’s deficit of $(1,625,969) and a net loss of $(149,818) and $(2,537,409) during the period August 1 to October 24, 2014 and October 25 to April 30, 2015 respectively. There is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our operations are dependent upon our ability to: (1) generate sales, revenue and profit from our VitaminFIZZ brand and Avanzar; (2) obtain necessary financing; and (3) effectively manage costs and/or attain profitable operations. As such, the report of our independent certified auditor for the year ended July 31, 2014 is qualified subject to substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

As of April 30, 2015, we had $99,508 in cash, $478,558 in accounts receivable, $9,301 in current prepaid assets, and $418,771 in inventory and $3,511,368 in total assets, $5,137,337 in total liabilities and a working capital deficit of $3,444,868. Our accumulated deficit from our inception on June 21, 2007 to April 30, 2015 is $26,685,020 and was funded primarily through equity and debt financing.
We are dependent on our net revenues and funds raised through our equity and debt financing.
During the period August 1 to October 24, 2014 and October 25, 2014 to April 30, 2015 our monthly cash requirements to fund our operating activities was approximately $102,116 and a cash from operations of $2,190. Our cash on hand of $99,508, as of April 30, 2015, together with our line of credit for $3,000,000 should allow us to continue to operate for the immediate future until we receive significant Level 5 revenue proceeds and additional traditional financings. We estimate our planned expenses for the next 24 months (beginning November, 2014) to be approximately $26,262,500, as summarized in the tables below. The expenses are broken into Phases 1, 2 and 3. Assumptions for the breakdown are: Phase 1 will be completed before Phase 2 begins, and Phase 2 will be completed before Phase 3 begins, and Phases will only be started when we have sufficient revenues and/or have sufficient financing vehicles to proceed to the next Phase. If revenues or traditional financings are not as anticipated, we will scale back our expenses according to our business requirements which will negatively impact our ability to increase revenue.

Our general and administrative expenses for the year are expected to consist primarily of salaries, transfer agent fees, investor relations expenses and general office expenses. The professional fees are related to our regulatory filings throughout the year.
Based on our planned expenditures, we have the necessary funds or financing vehicles in place to complete Phase 1 of our business plan. We require additional funds of approximately $5,400,000 to proceed with Phase 2 of our business plan over the next 24 months. Phase 3 of our business plan requires sufficient traditional financing vehicles to complete, and Phase 3 will not commence until these funds and/or financing are in place. If we secure less than the full amount of financing that we require or derive less than the anticipated amount of revenue from operations, we will not be able to carry out our complete business plan, and we will be forced to proceed with a scaled back business plan based on our available financial resources.
We anticipate incurring losses until Level 5 creates significant, sustainable sales and revenues. Meanwhile, Level 5 has started generating revenues for the company; however, there can be no assurances that enough sales or revenues will be received to support our capital needs.
Future Financings
Our financial statements for the three months ended April 30, 2015 have been prepared on a going concern basis and contain an additional explanatory paragraph in Note 2 which identifies issues that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any minimal adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As of April 30, 2015, we have generated $1,859,298 of revenues for the nine months ended April 30, 2015, have achieved losses since inception, and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund our operations. As a new competitor in the beverage line
of business, there can be no assurance we will generate any significant revenue from the sale of any such products and our future cash needs vary from those estimated. Accordingly, we are dependent upon obtaining outside financing to carry out our operations and pursue any acquisition and exploration activities. In addition, we require funds to meet our current operating needs and to repay certain demand note obligations and other convertible debt obligations that will mature shortly.
We had $99,508 in cash as of April 30, 2015. We intend to raise the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months from revenues received from Level 5, private placements, shareholder loans or possibly a registered public offering (either self-underwritten or through a broker-dealer). If we are unsuccessful in raising enough money through such efforts, we may review other financing possibilities such as bank loans. At this time we have a three million dollar line of credit with Post Oak, LLC which has an outstanding balance of $2,050,000 as of April 30, 2015, but there is no guarantee that any additional financing will be available to us or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us. We intend to negotiate with our management and any consultants we may hire to pay parts of their salaries and fees with stock and stock options instead of cash. If we are unable to obtain the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts spent on our acquisition and development activities and our general and administrative expenses so as not to exceed the amount of capital resources that are available to us. Specifically, we anticipate deferring development, expansion and certain acquisitions pending the receipt of additional financing. Still, if we do not secure additional financing, our current cash reserves and working capital will be not be sufficient to enable us to sustain our operations for the next 12 months unless revenue increases dramatically, even if the Company does decide to scale back its operations.
Outstanding Indebtedness
Set forth below is a chart of our outstanding convertible debt obligations as of April 30, 2015:
|
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Original Amount | | Balance on 4/30/2015 | | Date of Issuance | | Maturity Date | | Features |
Convertible Promissory Note | | 250,000 | | 125,000 | | 10/22/2014 | | 10/22/2015 | | 8% interest rate converts at a variable conversion price of 50% of the market price calculated based on the lowest day during the preceding 20 days |
Outstanding Notes
As of April 30, 2015, our obligations under outstanding notes totaled an aggregate principal amount of $125,000. Of such amount $125,000 is due October 22, 2015. We currently do not have sufficient funds to fund all of the future notes.
On October 22, 2014, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note with Union Capital for $250,000. The convertible note carries 8% rate of interest and the Note is convertible into common stock at a variable conversion price of 50% of the market which shall be calculated as the lowest day during the preceding 20 days before conversion.
On June 2, 2015, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note with Union Capital for $250,000. The convertible note carries 8% rate of interest and the Note is convertible into common stock at a variable conversion price of 50% of the market which shall be calculated as the lowest day during the preceding 20 days before conversion.
On May 1, 2014, we entered into an agreement with Post Oak, LLC (“the Lender”), where, among other things, we and the Lender entered into a Line of Credit Financing Agreement in the principal sum of up to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), or such lesser amount as may be borrowed by us as Advances under this line of credit. The Line of Credit bears interest at the rate of ten percent per annum (10.00%) unless modified by certain provisions of the Line of Credit. The entire outstanding principal balance amount of this Line of Credit is due and payable on April 30, 2016. We will make one interest payment twelve months from the date of each advance and one interest payment eighteen months from the date of each advance. We are obligated to make a payment for the entire unpaid balance of all advances, plus any accrued interest, in a “balloon” payment, which is due in two years from the date of the Line of Credit Agreement. On April 1, 2015, we amended the line of credit to increase the total line of credit to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000). As of April 30, 2015, there was $2,050,000 outstanding under this line of credit.

Product Research and Development
Our Research and Development (R&D) consisted of formulating the VitaminFIZZ®, Vitamin Creamer®, Coffee Boost™ and LEVEL 5® product lines. We spent $568 in the three months ending April 30, 2015 and $-0- in the three months ended April 30, 2014 in R&D activities. The R&D for the product lines is the only R&D activities since the Company’s inception. we anticipate spending at least $100,000 in R&D activities over the next two fiscal years. The Company spent $90,000 on management and consulting fees activities for the product lines during the three months ended April 30, 2015. These fees have been recorded as selling, general, and administrative fees.
Acquisition of Plants and Equipment and Other Assets
We do not anticipate selling or acquiring any material properties, plants or equipment during the next 12 months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Inflation
The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be reported in our Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified and pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Inasmuch as we only have two individuals serving as officers, directors and employees we have determined that the Company has, per se, inadequate controls and procedures over financial reporting due to the lack of segregation of duties despite the fact that the duties of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are performed by two individuals. Management recognizes that its controls and procedures would be substantially improved if there was a greater segregation of the duties and as such is actively seeking to remediate this issue. Management believes that the material weakness in its controls and procedures referenced did not have an effect on our financial results. Based upon this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.
Changes in Internal Control
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended April 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On April 15, 2014, the Company filed a complaint and sued JMJ Financial (“JMJ”) relating to an alleged illegal conversion pursuant to a Promissory Note dated November 19, 2013 (the “Note”) in the Circuit Court of 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County. The suit alleges that the Note violates Florida’s usury laws and is, therefore, unenforceable. Minerco sought (a) a declaratory judgment that the Note is null and void ab initio, and (b) preliminary and permanent injunctive relief prohibiting JMJ from converting any purported amounts owed pursuant to the Note into shares of Minerco’s common stock. In May 2014, the injunctive relief bond was set at $2,500,000, cash, which Minerco did not satisfy. Therefore, Minerco did not receive injunctive relief from the court at that time. On June 24, 2014, JMJ filed its Answer and Affirmative Defenses, in which it denied that the Note is usurious, and set forth multiple affirmative defenses, including failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted and estoppel. On December 12, 2014, Minerco filed a Motion for Leave to File Amended Complaint (the “Motion”) against JMJ Financial relating to the same Note, seeking in its amended complaint the following relief: (a) a declaratory judgment that the Note violates Florida’s usury laws, and thus is null and void ab initio; (b) damages for JMJ’s conversions of the entire purported outstanding balance of the Note that have occurred subsequent to the commencement of the lawsuit; and (c) reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. The Motion was granted, and the Amended Complaint was deemed filed, on January 17, 2015. Discovery is ongoing.

The issuance of the note was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. No underwriter was involved in the offer of sale of the note.

In addition, the investor had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since it agreed to, and received, securities bearing a legend stating that such note are restricted.

The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to accrue the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates issued in these transactions.
