The condensed consolidated financial statements herein contain the operations of the above listed subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods as indicated. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of these financial statements. On September 21, 2010 the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MCC Merger, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), formed previous to the merger, and Maple Carpenter Creek Holdings, Inc. (“The Target Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the Merger Agreement, as closed on September 23, 2010, Acquisition Sub merged with and into the Target Company, with the Target Company remaining as the surviving corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).  Going forward, the Company will be a holding company parent of the Target Company, and the Company’s business operations following the Merger will be those of the Target Company.

The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of April 30th.

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with ASC 820, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in the Colombian peso. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

The accounting policies followed by MMEX Mining Corporation are set forth in the Company’s financial statements that are a part of its April 30, 2012, Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the three and six months ended October 31, 2012, contained herein.

The financial information included herein as of October 31, 2012, and for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, has been presented without an audit, pursuant to accounting principles for the interim financial information generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  The information presented reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the period.

Organization
MMEX Mining Corporation (the Company or “MMEX”) was formed in the State of Nevada on May 19, 2005 as Inkie Entertainment Group, Inc., for the purpose of engaging in the production, distribution and marketing of filmed entertainment products. On January 15, 2008, the Company changed its name to Quantum Information, Inc. In January 2009, the Company announced that it would transition out of the filmed entertainment products business and into the coal business. As part of that transition, on January 14, 2009, the Company sold all of its assets in exchange for the surrender to the Company of 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the assumption of all of the Company’s liabilities. The Company also changed its name to MGMT Energy, Inc. on February 5, 2009 and to Management Energy, Inc. on May 28, 2009 to better reflect the Company’s business focus. On September 23, 2010, the Company, through a reverse merger, acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Maple Carpenter Creek Holdings, Inc., (“MCCH”) a Delaware Corporation, organized on October 15, 2009 as a holding Company with an 80% interest in Maple Carpenter Creek, LLC (“MCC”), which in turn owns a 95% interest in the subsidiary, Carpenter Creek, LLC (“CC”), and a 100% interest in Armadillo Holdings Group Corp. (“AHGC”), which in turn owns a 98.6% interest in Armadillo Mining Corp. (“AMC”). On February 22, 2011, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change the corporate name from Management Energy, Inc. to MMEX Mining Corporation.

Armadillo Group Holdings Corporation: As of the date of closing of the merger, AMC had exclusive options to acquire two metallurgical coal mines in the Cundinamarca province of Colombia: (i) Caparrapi is a permitted mine with minimum production and with a resource potential of 11 million metric tons; (ii) Yacopi has resource potential of 40 million metric tons. AMC has terminated the exclusive options for the Caparrapi and Yacopi mines. On January 20, 2011, AMC acquired an option to purchase a 50% interest in a permitted and operating mine Company in Colombia producing metallurgical coal, with a potential resource of 16 million tons to 90 million tons based on existing exploration resources reports.  The agreement required an exclusivity fee of $1,400,000 that was completed on March 22, 2011, and $5,000,000 to be deposited to an exploration fund to continue the financing of an exploration and drilling program.  On February 3, 2012 the parties to the Hunza Agreement executed and delivered an amendment thereto, which, among other things, provided that:
 
(a)  
in order to exercise the option to acquire 50% of Hunza, AMCC would be required to complete the payment of exclusivity fees on or before February 29, 2012, including issuing on February 3, 2012 a $1,200,000 debenture convertible into 4,000,000 Common Shares to Black Stone Investment S.A. Black Stone Investment S.A. converted the March 2012 Debenture into 4,000,000 Common Shares in two tranches: (i) 1,794,000 Common Shares were issued on March 8, 2012; and (ii) 2,206,000 Common Shares were issued on May 1, 2012.
 
(b)  
after exercise of the option, AMCC would be obligated to fund an additional $3,000,000 upon the earlier of May 1, 2013 and 90 calendar days after the delivery of a technical report in respect of the work program to be carried out on the Hunza Project (see “The Hunza Project - Recommendations”); and
 
(c)  
AMCC would pledge one half of its interest in Hunza to secure any payment default by AMCC, which default would result in a reduction of the AMCC’s interest to 25% of Hunza.

Nature of Business
Our current strategy is to pursue various coal exploration projects in Colombia and expand to other minerals in other South American countries with development partners.

Exploration Stage Company
The Company is currently an exploration stage company. As an exploration stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the exploration stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date. The Company has incurred net losses of $19,112,247 and used net cash in operations of $10,618,132 for the period from inception (May 23, 2007) through October 31, 2012. An entity remains in the exploration stage until such time as proven or probable reserves have been established for its deposits. Upon the location of commercially mineable reserves, the Company plans to prepare for mineral extraction and enter the development stage. To date, the exploration stage of the Company’s operations consists of contracting with geologists who sample and assess the mining viability of the Company’s claims.

Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its aforementioned subsidiaries. See Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (“ASC 810”) below for additional information on Non-controlling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the 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.

Property and equipment
Equipment is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount, and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset as follows:
 
Furniture and fixtures
5 years
Machinery and equipment
5 years
Software and hardware
5 years
 
 
9

 
 
Maintenance and repairs will be charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments will be capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations.

The Company will assess the recoverability of equipment by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of these assets over their remaining life can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of equipment impairment, if any, will be measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which such impairment is determined by management.

Fair value of financial instruments
On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Beginning on January 1, 2011, the Company also applied the guidance to non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which includes goodwill and intangible assets. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1 - Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 -Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable in the market.

Level 3 - Valuation is based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use.
 
The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of July 31, 2012 on a recurring and non-recurring basis:

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, equity investments, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt. The estimated fair value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of equity investments and long-term debt also approximate their fair values since their terms are similar to those in the lending market for comparable loans with comparable risks. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

Advertising and promotion
All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred. $3,620 and $1,075 were incurred for both the six months and three months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Income taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

Basic and diluted loss per share
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

Stock-based compensation
The Company adopted FASB guidance on stock based compensation upon inception at April 23, 2009. Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. For the periods presented, there were no share-based payments to employees.

In December of 2004, the FASB issued a standard which applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are based on the fair value of those equity instruments.  For any unvested portion of previously issued and outstanding awards, compensation expense is required to be recorded based on the previously disclosed methodology and amounts.  Prior periods presented are not required to be restated.  The Company adopted this standard upon inception on May 23, 2007 and applied the standard using the modified prospective method.  

Issuance of Shares for Non-Cash Consideration
The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and/or services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably determinable. The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of the standards issued by the FASB.  The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined as the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete.  In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

Uncertain tax positions
Effective upon the Company’s fiscal year ended April 30, 2009, the Company adopted new standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

Various taxing authorities periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.
 
The assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.

Non-controlling interest
The Company accounts for non-controlling interest (“minority interest”) in accordance with ASC 810-10-45-18 through 21 which allows revenues, expenses, gains and losses, net income, or loss, and other comprehensive income to be reported in the consolidated financial statements at the consolidated amounts, which include the amounts attributable to the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interest.  Net income or loss and comprehensive income or loss are attributed to the parent and the non-controlling interest.  Losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary may exceed their interests in the subsidiary’s equity.  The excess, and any further losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest, shall be attributed to those interests.  That is, the non-controlling interest shall continue to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest balance.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02. This update amends ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment and permits an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (ASU 2011-11) to enhance disclosure requirements relating to the offsetting of assets and liabilities on an entity's balance sheet. The update requires enhanced disclosures regarding assets and liabilities that are presented net or gross in the statement of financial position when the right of offset exists, or that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. The new disclosure requirements relating to this update are retrospective and effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The update only requires additional disclosures, as such, we do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other” (ASU 2011-08). ASU 2011-08 allows a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the two-step impairment test would be performed. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and early adoption is permitted.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This update clarifies the application of certain existing fair value measurement guidance and expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This update is effective on a prospective basis for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, which for the Company is January 1, 2012.

Note 2 – Going Concern

Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred continuous losses from operations, have an accumulated deficit of $19,112,247 and a working capital deficit of $6,595,734 at October 31, 2012, and have reported negative cash flows from operations since inception. In addition, we do not currently have the cash resources to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months, and we expect to have ongoing requirements for capital investment to implement our business plan. Finally, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which we operate.

Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through private debt and equity financing, as well as capital contributions by our subsidiaries’ partners, and we expect to continue to seek additional funding through private or public equity and debt financing.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional debt or equity capital and/or that our cash generated by our operations will be adequate to meet our needs. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 
12

 
 
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 – Related Party Transactions

Loans & Advances
During the period from May 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010, Tydus Richards, the former Chairman of our board of directors and shareholder, made payments totaling $71,700 on behalf of the Company. The Company reimbursed Mr. Richards $8,700 on September 3, 2009 and the remaining balance of $63,000 was outstanding as of April 30, 2010.

Note 6 – Investment in Property

On July 30, 2008, Maple Resources Corporation (“MRC”), a related party via common control from the Company’s CEO, Jack Hanks, purchased the Snider Ranch in Musselshell and Yellowstone Counties, Montana for $1,615,000. Simultaneously, MCC and MRC executed an option agreement whereby MCC became responsible for all principal and interest payments on a $1,000,000 bank note payable issued in MRC’s name in connection with its acquisition of the Snider Ranch and all other payments made by MRC to acquire the Snider Ranch. MRC has agreed that upon successful repayment of the note, it will transfer the Snider Ranch title to MCC. MCC also has issued MRC a $0.08/ton royalty from all future production generated from the Snider Ranch prospect as consideration for MRC and Jack W. Hanks, personally, guaranteeing the loan.  The expected fair value of this royalty could not readily be determined, and as such, was not recognized. The value of the property was periodically measured for impairment and $201,747 of impairment charges were recognized during the year ended, April 30, 2010. On September 2, 2010, the option to purchase the Snider Ranch was distributed to the owners of MCC and recorded as a dividend in the amount of $1,413,253. In the merger with MMEX, MCC partners, The Maple Gas Corporation and AAM Investments, LLC assigned their rights under the option agreement to the Company. Subsequently, on December 21, 2010, Maple Resources Corporation sold the Snider Ranch property located in Yellowstone and Musselshell counties, Montana, to Great Northern Properties Limited Partnership, and the Company’s subsidiary relinquished its option right to acquire this property.

On January 20, 2011, AMC acquired an option to purchase a 50% interest in a permitted and operating mine company in Colombia, the Hunza lease, producing metallurgical coal, with a potential resource of 16 million tons to 90 million tons based on existing exploration resources reports.  The agreement required an exclusivity fee of $1,400,000 that was completed on March 22, 2011, and $5,000,000 to be deposited to an exploration fund to continue the financing of an exploration and drilling program.  On February 3, 2012 the Company executed and delivered an amendment to the Hunza option agreement which, among other items, provides that:
 
·  
In order to exercise the option to acquire 50% of Hunza, the Company would be required to complete the payment of exclusivity fees on or before February 29, 2012, including issuing a $1.2 million note convertible into 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  On March 8, 2012, $538,200 of the note was converted into 1,794,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

·  
After exercise of the option, the Company would be obligated to fund an additional $3.0 million upon the earlier of May 1, 2013 or 90 days after the completion of the technical resources report which will be commissioned by Hunza.

·  
The Company would pledge one half of its interest in Hunza to secure any payment default by the Company, which default would result in a reduction of the Company’s interest to 25% of Hunza.

As a result of the acquisition of the 50% interest in Hunza, the board of directors and operating committee of Hunza consist of four members in total: two members from the Company; namely, Jack Hanks (CEO) and Nabil Katabi (Director).  The other two members of the board of directors and operating committee are non-related party to MMEX and jointly own the other 50% interest in Hunza and are themselves, brothers, and therefore, related party to each other (the “Original Shareholders).  The Original Shareholders have the right to, in the occurrence of a deadlock between themselves and the two board members from the Company, repurchase the 50% ownership from the Company at its fair value.  The Company does not have primary control over the Original Shareholders or Hunza.

On March 8, 2012, the final exclusivity payment of $3,600,000 was made with an additional $700,000 payment to the exploration fund, for a total of $2,015,559 contributed to the exploration fund, the Hunza purchase was completed.

During the course of fiscal years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, impairments of $932,343 and $1,830,000 were taken due to the fact that it was uncertain whether or not the Company would be able to purchase the option to own 50% of Hunza.  During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, the Company did obtain the option with the final payment of $3,600,000 of cash and exercised it with the final payment of $700,000.  In addition, the Company obtained a valuation report from an independent contractor, as well as a feasibility report, indicating that production and exploration of Hunza is probable and economical.  The Company considered whether impairment of the payments made during the fourth quarter was necessary, but determined that based upon the information contained within the two reports received, that the investment bears value to the Company that exceeded the cash amounts paid during the fourth quarter, in addition to the future cash payment of $3,000,000 expected to be paid within the next twelve months.

The Company has capitalized the $3,600,000 exclusivity payment, $3,000,000 payable due, and the $700,000 exploration fund payments as investment in the property and will report income and loss from the investment by the equity method of accounting.

The following table reflects the income statements for the six month ended October 31, 2012 and the four month period ended April 30, 2012, for the Hunza equity investment:

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

Merger Agreement
Pursuant to the merger on September 23, 2010, the Company awarded the owners of MCCH the right to receive 1,500,000 shares of common stock as contingent consideration.  The milestones are accelerated in the event the owners of MCCH are diluted below 30% in their ownership of the Company.  The milestones defined in the definitive merger agreement are as follows:

·  
1,000,000 shares upon the closing of equity or debt financing that generates at least 2 million in net proceeds,
·  
250,000 shares upon the successful generation of $250,000 in revenue from coal sales in any fiscal quarter,
·  
250,000 shares upon the successful closing of additional equity or debt financing that will generate at least $2,000,000 in net proceeds.

On September 13, 2011, the Board of Directors, through a Unanimous Written Consent of the Board of Directors, declared that the milestone to distribute 1,000,000 shares of the 1,500,000 contingent consideration had vested leaving a balance of 500,000 shares of common stock as contingent consideration.

On April 26, 2012, the Board of Directors determined that the remaining milestones and acceleration regarding the Merger Agreement had been reached and the Corporation issued the remaining 500,000 shares of merger consideration, equally to AAM Investments, LLC, affiliated with one of the Company’s Directors, Bruce N. Lemons, and the Maple Gas Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Maple Resources Corporation, which is 100% owned by the Company’s CEO, Jack Hanks.

After exercise of the Hunza option, the Company is obligated to fund an additional $3.0 million upon the earlier of May 1, 2013 or 90 days after the completion of the technical resources report which will be commissioned by Hunza. The Company pledged one half of its interest in Hunza as collateral; therefore, any payment default by the Company will result in a reduction of the Company’s interest to 25% of Hunza.

Legal
There were no legal proceedings against the Company.

Note 12 – Subsequent Events

On November 2, 2012, the Corporation issued 465,525 Common Shares at an average price of $0.16 to Delavega Trading Ltd., a company for which Nabil Katabi a Company director has a controlling interest, pursuant to extinguishments of accrued consulting fees.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to MMEX Mining Corporation, a Nevada corporation.  The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation provide information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our financial condition and results of operations.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and all our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) through the date of this report.

Forward Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes both historical and forward-looking statements, which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and regulations.  Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements are intended to operate as “forward-looking statements” of the kind permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, incorporated in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  That legislation protects such predictive statements by creating a “safe harbor” from liability in the event that a particular prediction does not turn out as anticipated. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will probably not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved.  Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or our management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.  You should review carefully the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of certain of the risks that could cause our actual results to differ from those expressed or suggested by the forward-looking statements.
 
The inclusion of the forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us, or any other person, that such forward-looking statements will be achieved.  You should be aware that any forward-looking statement made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or elsewhere, speaks only as of the date on which we make it. We undertake no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  In light of the foregoing, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview and Outlook

On May 25, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a 1 for 10 reverse stock split of its common stock.  All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of shares of common stock and loss per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

MMEX Mining Corporation has interests in coal prospects in the United States and South America.  We are currently considered to be an exploration stage corporation because we are engaged in the search for coal deposits and are not engaged in the exploitation of a coal deposit.  We will be in the exploration stage until we discover commercially viable coal deposits. In an exploration stage company, management devotes most of its activities to acquiring and exploring mineral properties.

On January 20, 2011 the Company executed an exclusive option agreement to purchase a 50% interest in C.I. Hunza Coal, Ltd. (Hunza), a Colombian limited liability corporation that holds various mining interests in Colombia.

On February 3, 2012 the Company executed and delivered an amendment to the Hunza option agreement which, among other items, provides that:
 
·
In order to exercise the option to acquire 50% of Hunza, the Company would be required to complete the payment of exclusivity fees on or before February 29, 2012, including issuing a $1.2 million note convertible into 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
·
After exercise of the option, the Company would be obligated to fund an additional $3.0 million upon the earlier of May 1, 2013 or 90 days after the completion of the technical resources report which will be commissioned by Hunza.
·
The Company would pledge one half of its interest in Hunza to secure any payment default by the Company, which default would result in a reduction of the Company’s interest to 25% of Hunza.
 
 
29

 
 
On March 7, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of the Hunza mine and will begin the process of evaluating its future drilling program.

In 2012, the primary operational activities of Hunza have been initiating the community relations activities in advance of the commencement of the work program to be carried out on the Hunza Project as recommended in the Technical Report.  These activities involved working with the local community leaders to understand the needs of the communities in proximity to the Hunza Project. In 2012, Hunza also initiated a transportation and logistics feasibility study for marketing of coal, an update of the initial mine plan and a marketing study for metallurgical coal. With respect to the drilling program, negotiations are underway with the sub-contractor to finalize and to mobilize the drilling operations. Hunza has also engaged a Colombian underground mining operator to develop a complete pre-feasibility and feasibility mining plan for the mine development on the Hunza Project with a Small Scale Mining Plan for extraction of up 240,000 tons per year and a Large Scale Mining Plan providing for the increase in the production to 2,400,000 tons per year over the course of seven years.  Additionally, in January and February 2012, Hunza obtained environmental and mining permits allowing for the production of up to 2,400,000 tons per year.  No mining activities have taken place on the Hunza Project in 2012.

Going forward, we plan to focus the company efforts in acquiring metallurgical coal assets in the country of Colombia and other Latin America countries.

Mineral Reserve Estimates
 
Hunza Project:  On March 7, 2012 the Company completed its agreement to purchase a 50% interest in C.I. Hunza Coal, Ltd. (Hunza), a Colombian limited liability corporation that holds various mining concessions in the Boyacá Province of east-central Colombia. The coal prospects in the Hunza concessions are mid-volatility metallurgical or coking coal. We have commissioned a technical report in accordance with National Instrument (NI) 43-101 specifications.  Based on the report, the in-place coal tonnage estimate for the property is in the range of 45 to 50 million metric tons. The Company is undertaking a drilling program and   until the drilling has been performed and the results analyzed, the estimates presented herein cannot be categorized as estimates of a coal resource under the standards of the 43-101 guidelines.

Development Strategy
 
The Corporation’s current strategy is to focus on the acquisition of metallurgical coal assets in Colombia and iron ore in Peru.
 
As MMEX continues to expand its business and implement its business strategy, its current monthly cash flow requirements will exceed its near term cash flow from operations. In order to fund the acquisition of AMCC’s 50% ownership in Hunza and its 18-month exploration program at the Hunza Project, on March 7, 2012, the Corporation completed a private placement of Common Shares to qualified South American investors for gross proceeds of approximately US$5.6 million.
 
Notwithstanding this recent private placement, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations in future periods to satisfy its capital requirements. Therefore, the Corporation will have to continue to rely on external financing activities, including the sale of equity securities, to satisfy capital requirements for the foreseeable future. Equity financings of the type the Corporation has been required to pursue are dilutive to shareholders and may adversely impact the market price of the Common Shares. However, the Corporation has no commitments for borrowings or additional sales of equity, the precise terms upon which it may be able to attract additional funding is not known at this time, and there can be no assurance that it will be successful in consummating any such future financing transactions on terms satisfactory to MMEX.

Merger with Maple Carpenter Creek Holdings, Inc
 
On September 21, 2010, MMEX Mining Corporation, Inc entered into a merger agreement with Maple Carpenter Creek Holdings, Inc. (“MCCH”).  MCCH is engaged in the development of both thermal and metallurgical coal projects in the U.S. and Colombia.  Under the terms of the merger agreement, MCCH merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of MMEX Mining Corporation in exchange for the issuance of 6,500,000 shares of MMEX Mining Corporation common stock to the owners of MCCH, of which 5,000,000 shares were issued on October 8, 2010 and 1,500,000 shares were presented as common stock payable.  On January 11, 2011, the Board of Directors, through a Unanimous Written Consent of the Board of Directors issued the remaining 1,500,000 in accordance with the merger agreement.  The Company reversed the subscription payable resulting in a $15,000 adjustment to common stock payable. The owners of MCCH also were granted the right to receive an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock as contingent consideration to vest on certain milestones defined in the definitive merger agreement.  On September 13, 2011, the Board of Directors, through a Unanimous Written Consent of the Board of Directors issued 1,000,000 shares of the contingent consideration.

As we continue to expand our business and implement our business strategy, our current monthly cash flow requirements will exceed our near term cash flow from operations. Our available cash resources and anticipated cash flow from operations are insufficient to satisfy our anticipated costs associated with new project development. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations in future periods to satisfy our capital requirements. Therefore, we will have to continue to rely on external financing activities, including the sale of our equity securities, to satisfy our capital requirements for the foreseeable future. Due, in part, to our lack of historical earnings, our prior success in attracting additional funding has been limited to transactions in which our equity is used as currency. In light of the availability of this type of financing, and the lack of alternative proposals, our board of directors has determined that the continued use of our equity for these purposes may be necessary if we are to sustain operations. Equity financings of the type we have been required to pursue are dilutive to our stockholders and may adversely impact the market price for our shares. However, we have no commitments for borrowings or additional sales of equity, the precise terms upon which we may be able to attract additional funding is not known at this time, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in consummating any such future financing transactions on terms satisfactory to us, or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued disclosure guidance for "critical accounting policies." The SEC defines "critical accounting policies" as those that require the application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.  Our significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to these financial statements.

Results of Operations

Revenues:

We are currently in the exploration stage and have not yet begun to generate revenues.

General and administrative:

General and administrative expenses were $144,913 for the six months ended October 31, 2012 compared to $403,600 for the six month ended October 31, 2011, a decrease of $258,687. General and administrative expenses were $72,292 for the three months ended October 31, 2012 compared to $289,669 for the three month ended October 31, 2011, a decrease of $217,377.  The decrease is due to focus on our acquisition of our Colombian mining activity.

Payroll and taxes:

Payroll and taxes expense was $236,345 for the six month period ended October 31, 2012 compared to $247,571 for the six month period ended October 31, 2011, a decrease of $11,226.  Payroll and taxes expense was $107,702 for the three month period ended October 31, 2012 compared to $120,351 for the three month period ended October 31, 2011, a decrease of $12,649.  The decrease is due to reduction of employees in the last quarter of the period.

Professional fees:

Professional fees expense was $539,959 for the six month period ended October 31, 2012 compared to $164,662 for the six month period ended October 31, 2011, an increase of $375,297. Professional fees expense was $274,397 for the three month period ended October 31, 2012 compared to $88,380 for the three month period ended October 31, 2011, an increase of $186,017. The increase was due to increased consulting services to support international operations.

Impairment expenses:

Impairment expense was $0 for the six month period ended October 31, 2012 compared to $932,454 for the six month period ended October 31, 2011, a decrease of $932,454.  Impairment expense was $0 for the three month period ended October 31, 2012 compared to $718,786 for the three month period ended October 31, 2011, a decrease of $718,786.  The decrease was due to the reclassification of exploration costs to those of proven properties.
 
 
31

 

Depreciation and amortization:

Depreciation and amortization expense was $2,480 for the six month period ended October 31, 2012 compared to $2,395 for the six month period ended October 31, 2011, an increase of $85. Depreciation and amortization expense was $1,241 for the three month period ended October 31, 2012 compared to $1,161 for the three month period ended October 31, 2011, an increase of $80. The increase is due to the addition of depreciable equipment in the current fiscal year.

Net operating loss:

Net operating loss for the six month period ended October 31, 2012 was $923,697 or $0.02 per share compared to a net operating loss of $1,752,576 for the six month period ended October 31, 2011, or $0.10 per share, a decrease of $828,879. Net operating loss for the three month period ended October 31, 2012 was $455,632 or $0.01 per share compared to a net operating loss of $1,220,241 for the three month period ended October 31, 2011, or $0.10 per share, a decrease of $764,609. The net operating loss decreased primarily due to decreased exploration costs of proven properties during the periods ended October 31, 2012 as compared to the prior year.

Other expense:

We reported a loss on debt conversion of $441,960 for the six month period ended October 31, 2012 and $0 for the period ended October 31, 2011.  The loss was due to the conversion of $323,640 debt when the fair value of the common stock exchanged was $765,600 based on the closing price on the date of grant.

We also reported loss of $211,673 on investment of property for the six month period ended October 31, 2012 and $0 for the six month period ended October 31, 2011.  This reflects the Company’s 50% interest in Hunza’s loss for the period ended October 31, 2012.

We reported interest expense of $763,633 for the six month period ended October 31, 2012 compared to $1,169,009 for the six month period ended October 31, 2012, a decrease of $405,376.  We reported interest expense of $469,007 for the three month period ended October 31, 2012 compared to $608,182 for the three month period ended October 31, 2012, a decrease of $139,175.  The decrease was due to a reduction in outstanding debt.

Non-controlling interests in loss of consolidated subsidiaries:

Non-controlling interests in loss of consolidated subsidiaries represented approximately $9,433 and $79,005 of the total losses for the six month period ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, a decrease of $69,572. Non-controlling interests in loss of consolidated subsidiaries represented approximately $5,246 and $56,777 of the total losses for the three month period ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, a decrease of $51,531. The decrease was due to reduced losses in the subsidiaries with non-controlling interests and due to the acquisition of additional interest, 94.6% to 98.6%, in the company’s AMC subsidiary.

Net loss:

We recorded a net loss of $2,331,530 or $0.04 per share, for the six month period ended October 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of $2,846,231, or $0.25 per share for the six month period ended October 31, 2011.  We recorded a net loss of $1,098,241 or $0.02 per share, for the three month period ended October 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of $1,775,297, or $0.15 per share for the three month period ended October 31, 2011. Net losses decreased primarily as a result of our decreased impairment expenses as we completed the acquisition of our mineral interests.

Our principal source of operating capital has been provided from private sales of our common stock, preferred stock, partnership capital contributions, and debt financing. At October 31, 2012, we had a negative working capital position of $6,595,734.

As we attempt to expand exploration activities and develop our international operations, we expect to continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations in amounts not now determinable, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings, preferred stock offerings, and debt borrowings to the extent necessary to provide working capital. We have and expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs. We do not now have funds sufficient to fund our operations at their current level for the next twelve months. We need to raise additional cash to fund our operations and implement our business plan. We expect that the additional financing will (if available) take the form of a private placement of equity, although we may be constrained to obtain additional debt financing in lieu thereof. We are maintaining an on-going effort to locate sources of additional funding, without which we will not be able to remain a viable entity. No financing arrangements are currently under contract, and there are no assurances that we will be able to obtain adequate financing. If we are able to obtain the financing required to remain in business, eventually achieving operating profits will require commencement of operations to generate revenues or drastically reducing expenses from their current levels or both. If we are able to obtain the required financing to remain in business, future operating results depend upon a number of factors that are outside of our control.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Future Obligations
 
Management projects working capital needs to be approximately $6,000,000 over the next twelve months to complete its acquisition of current mining contracts, corporate overhead, and continue as a reporting company.  Management believes that current cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to meet these anticipated capital requirements.  Such projections have been based on remaining contractual requirements and general overhead.  We will be forced to raise additional capital through the issuance of new shares, the exercise of outstanding warrants, or reduce our current overhead.  However, any projections of future cash needs and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty.  We would be required to renegotiate our current contracts until such time as necessary funds are secured.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not required by smaller reporting companies.

Item 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Jack W. Hanks, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on the evaluation, Mr. Hanks concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us that is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief financial officer, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, for the following reasons:

·
The Company does not have an independent board of directors or audit committee or adequate segregation of duties;
·
All of our financial reporting is carried out by our financial consultant;
·
We do not have an independent body to oversee our internal controls over financial reporting and lack segregation of duties due to the limited nature and resources of the Company.

We plan to rectify these weaknesses by implementing an independent board of directors and hiring additional accounting personnel once we have additional resources to do so.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
