Minerco Resources, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
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 2013 as reported in Minerco’s Form 10-K have been omitted.

2. Going Concern

Minerco Resources, Inc. (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.  As of May 27, 2010, the Company was no longer in the oil and natural gas business and began development of 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 our 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 that they are too capital intensive to pursue at this time.  Accordingly, the Company has relinquished development rights in its energy renewable projects and instead holds a royalty interest in two renewable energy projects and an earned net revenue interest in on renewable energy project.
 
The Company is in the process of transitioning its focus to its specialty beverage market retailer, Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc. and its products.
 
On March 30, 2010, the Company effected a 6 for 1 forward stock split, increasing the issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 55,257,500 to 331,545,000 shares.  On February 13, 2012, the Company effected a 150 for 1 reverse stock split, increasing the issued and outstanding share of common stock from 1,054,297,534 to 7,028,670 shares.   On May 13, 2013, we effectuated an increase in our authorized shares of common stock from 1,175,000,000 to 2,500,000,000. All shares amounts in these financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect this stock split.
 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize it assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. During the period ended October 31, 2013, the Company has an accumulated deficit and no 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, 2014.

On February 26, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement (the “Premium Product Development Agreement”) with Power Brands, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (“Power Brands”) to render product development services for Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc. (“Level 5”).  On February 26, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement (the “Prototype Development Agreement”) with Power Brands to render prototype development services for Level 5.  Power Brands has delivered $53,360 worth of Product and Product Development Services as October 31, 2013.  The Company has determined the capitalized Product development to have a useful life of 3 years, and will amortize over their useful lives unless the lives are determined to be indefinite.

 
4.  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

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

Level 2

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

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.

7.  Convertible note payable and derivative liabilities
 
During the three months ended October 31, 2013, the Company received proceeds of $269,000 from convertible promissory notes.  These notes carry interest rates between 5% and 10%.  The notes are convertible at variable conversion prices between 45% and 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 31, 2013 is $563,400.

Due to there 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:
 
The fair values of the convertible notes were determined to be $2,474,241 using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Upon the issuance dates of the Convertible Promissory Notes during the three months ended October 31, 2013, $269,000 was recorded as debt discount and $283,179 was recorded as day one loss on derivative liability.  During the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a loss on mark-to-market of the conversion options of $2,153,244 and a loss of $1,296,727, respectively. As of October 31, 2013 and 2012, the aggregate unamortized discount is $348,791 and $0, respectively.

Business Overview

Minerco Resources, Inc. was incorporated as a Nevada company on June 21, 2007 and our only two subsidiaries are Level 5 and Minerco Honduras S.A. 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.  On October 16, 2012, we added a functional specialty beverage retailer, Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc., that is developed and sold under the LEVEL 5™ brand umbrella as an additional line of business, which has become our primary focus. As of September 20, 2013, we completely discontinued operations of our Renewable Energy line of business.  We continue to own royalty interests in two (2) renewable energy project(s) and an earned net revenue interest in one (1) renewable energy project; however, all operational control for all three (3) projects has been returned to the originating companies.

Specialty Beverage Business
 
In September, 2012, we started Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc. (“Level 5”), a functional specialty beverage retailer, to develop, brand and sell a line of functional beverage products. The LEVEL 5™ product line is a portfolio of highly functional, all-natural, reduced calorie 2.5 oz. “shots.”  Level 5 currently has developed five products, RISE™, COFFEE BOOST™ ,CURVES, ARMOR and FLEX , two of which (RISE™ and COFFEE BOOST™), are available for sale in over 250 stores in Southern California and Arizona and are also available for sale via the internet on Amazon.com.
 
The LEVEL 5™ product line features eight (8) 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. The LEVEL 5™ product line features five (5) distinct varieties, each with a unique flavor profile aimed at addressing a specific targeted result: (diet and weight loss, wellness and energy). RISE™ and COFFEE BOOST™ are part of our energy line.  CURVES falls under the woman’s health and weight loss category, FLEX is a workout supplement and ARMOR is a wellness product that is a blend of herbs, minerals and vitamins.
 
  
RISETM (Energy Supplement)
 
  
COFFEE BOOSTTM (Energy Supplement), in original Coffee, French Vanilla, Hazelnut and Mocha flavors
 
  
CURVES (Women’s Supplement)
 
  
ARMOR (Immunity Supplement)
 
  
FLEX (Workout Supplement)
 
On September 16, 2013, we first placed our LEVEL 5™ products, RISE™ and COFFEE BOOST™, in retail stores.
 
As of October 31, 2013, Level 5 had retail listings of over 250 stores and online listing through Amazon.com. As of October 31, 2013, our remaining inventory of product, produced in August, 2013, was estimated to be 840 cases (10,080 units) of RISE™ and COFFEE BOOST™.
 
As of November 30, 2013, Level 5 has retail listings of over 300 stores in Southern California and Arizona and online listing through Amazon.com. As of October 31, 2013, our remaining inventory of product, produced in August, 2013, is estimated to be 582 cases (6,984 units) of RISE™ and COFFEE BOOST™.
 
As of November 30, 2013, Level 5 had depleted 1,042 cases (12,504 units) of RISE™ and COFFEE BOOST™, including a revenue sales count of at least 400 cases (4,800 units) of RISE™ and COFFEE BOOST™. The depleted case count includes sales, samples, promotions and consignment of our LEVEL 5™ products.
 
On November 21, 2013, Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc. entered into an Agreement (the “Brand Licensing Agreement”) with VITAMINFIZZ, L.P, a California Limited Partnership pursuant to which Level 5 acquired the exclusive rights in North America to use the VitaminFIZZ® (the “Brand”) on and in connection with the marketing, distribution and sale of the Brand. VitaminFIZZ®, the Product, was market tested in 2011 and is also available to Level 5. Level 5 and VITAMINFIZZ, L.P. have agreed to revitalize the Product.
 
VitaminFIZZ® is a low calorie, vitamin enhanced, carbonated soda which contains 100% of daily vitamin C, high doses of B vitamins and is only 20 calories. VitaminFIZZ® was extensively tested in the market in 2011. VitaminFIZZ® is currently being re-vitalized by Power Brands in a new 16oz. plastic bottle and will be re-introduced into the market in 2014. Under the terms of the acquisition, VITAMINFIZZ, L.P nominated and Level 5 appointed Darin Ezra to the Board of Directors of Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc.
 
As of October 31, 2013, we had not generated any revenue since inception, and during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $10,535,126, a stockholder’s deficit of $3,333,597 and a net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2013 of $2,715,883 ability to: (1) generate sales, revenue and profit from our Level 5 products; (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, 2013 was qualified subject to substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Renewable Energy Projects
 
As of September 20, 2013, we completely discontinued operations of our Renewable Energy line of business. We continue to own royalty interests in two (2) renewable energy project(s) and an earned net revenue interest in one (1) renewable energy project(s); however, all operational control has been returned to the originating companies for all three (3) projects.
 
We currently have non-operating interests in two (2) Hydro-Electric Projects and one (1) Wind Project in various parts of Honduras (collectively the “Projects”). Both of the Hydro-Electric projects are classified as run-of-the-river projects (not conventional retention dams). The Chiligatoro Hydro-Electric Project, is in the final permitting stage of development, and the Iscan Hydro-Electric Project is currently in the early feasibility stage of development.  The wind project, Sayab Wind Project, is also in the early feasibility stage of development.  
 
To date, the Projects have not completed construction; and therefore, we have not received any revenue from any of the projects.  There can be no assurance given that these projects will be completed in a timely manner, if at all.   We have returned operational control of all three Projects, so we will rely on the operators of the Projects to complete development and construction of the Projects.  Additionally, even if construction of the projects is completed, there is no guarantee that they will be successfully used to create electricity or that will generate a consistent revenue stream for us.  
 
 
Common Stock
 
On March 30, 2010, we effected a 6 for 1 forward stock split, increasing the issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 55,257,500 to 331,545,000 shares.  On February 13, 2012, the Company effected a 150 for 1 reverse stock split, increasing the issued and outstanding share of common stock from 1,054,297,534 to 7,028,670 shares.  All share amounts throughout this Annual Report have been retroactively adjusted for all periods to reflect this stock split. On May 13, 2013, we effectuated an increase in our authorized shares of common stock from 1,175,000 to 2,500,000,000.

Results of Operations for the Three months ended October 31, 2013
 
During the three months ended October 31, 2013 we incurred a net loss of $2,715,883, compared to a net loss of $1,327,788 during the same period in fiscal 2013. The increase in our net loss during the three months ended October 31, 2013 was primarily due to increase on loss on derivative liability.

Our total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2013 were $325,070, compared to general and administrative expenses of $8,797 during the same period in fiscal 2013. Our total general and administrative expenses during the three months ended October 31, 2013 consisted of $21,000 in compensation expense, $22,306 in professional fees, $70,500 in consulting fees and $158,825 in general and administrative expense and during the three months ended October 31, 2012 consisted entirely of general and administrative expenses, and we did not incur any foreign exchange losses, management fees, rent expenses or other operating expenses. The increase is due to the development, production and marketing of our products associated with the beverage business.

Our general and administrative expenses consist of professional fees, transfer agent fees, investor relations expenses and general office expenses. Our professional fees include legal, accounting and auditing fees.

Results of Operations for the Period from June 21, 2007 (Date of Inception) to October 31, 2013
 
From our inception on June 21, 2007 to October 31, 2013 we did not generate any revenues and we incurred a net loss of $10,535,126. We may not generate significant revenues from our beverage business or our interest in our Hydro-Electric or Wind Projects or any other properties in which we acquire an interest, and we anticipate that we will incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future.

Our total operating expenses from our inception on June 21, 2007 to October 31, 2013 were $4,705,262. Our general and administrative expenses consist of professional fees, transfer agent fees, investor relations expenses and general office expenses. Our professional fees include legal, accounting and auditing fees.

From our inception on June 21, 2007 to October 31, 2013 we also received $13,000 in the form of proceeds from loan recovery and incurred $32,700 in expenses related to the impairment of a note receivable. Also, there was a loss of $4,966,814 and accretion of $1,327,689 associated with the derivative in the convertible debt

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of October 31, 2013, we had $85,522 in cash, $15,000 in other assets, and $100,522 in total assets, $3,434,119 in total liabilities and a working capital deficit of $3,333,597. Our accumulated deficit from our inception on June 21, 2007 to October 31, 2013 is $10,535,126 and was funded primarily through equity and debt financing.
 
We are dependent on funds raised through our equity and debt financing, and since our inception on June 21, 2007, we have raised gross proceeds of $90,514 in cash from the sale of our common stock, $1,156,750 in proceeds from loans, and $51,018 from advances from related parties.
 
From our inception on June 21, 2007 to October 31, 2013 we spent net cash of $1,078,712 on operating activities. During the three months ended October 31, 2013 we spent net cash of $249,188 on operating activities, compared to net cash spending of $0 on operating activities during the same period in fiscal 2013. The expenditures on operating activities for the three months ended October 31, 2013 increased primarily due to a loss on derivative offset, an increase in accretion of the discount and increase in share based compensation.
 
From our inception on June 21, 2007 to October 31, 2013 we spent net cash of $25,000  on investing activities, which was in the form of a loan to a third party and product development. During the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, we did not spend cash on investing activities.
 
From our inception on June 21, 2007 to October 31, 2013 we received net cash of $1,189,234 from financing activities, of which $90,514 were proceeds from the issuance of our common stock and $1,156,750 were proceeds from loans and $51,018 from advances from related parties. During the three months ended October 31, 2013 we did receive $211,000 net cash from financing activities, compared to net cash received of $0 during the same period in fiscal 2012.  The increase in receipts from financing activities for the three months ended October 31, 2013 was primarily due to an increase in proceeds from loans.
 
 
 
18

 
 
During the three months ended October 31, 2013 our monthly cash requirements to fund our operating activities was approximately $57,168. Our cash on hand of $85,522, as of October 31, 2013, should be sufficient to allow us to continue to operate until we receive Level 5 revenue proceeds and additional financings. However, we will require additional financing to meet certain debt obligations.  We estimate our planned expenses for the next 24 months (beginning November, 2013) to be approximately $5,200,000, as summarized in the tables below.

Our general and administrative expenses for the year will 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 require additional funds of approximately $1,200,000 to proceed with our business plan over the next 12 months. 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 the Level 5 Business creates significant, sustainable sales and revenues. Although we maintain non-operating interests in the Chiligatoro Hydro-Electric Project, Iscan Hydro-Electric Project and Sayab Wind Project, there is no assurance that revenues will be received from these interests or that the operators will construct the projects or that we will be paid our proportionate interests by the operator. 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 October 31, 2013 have been prepared on a going concern basis and contain an additional explanatory paragraph in Note 1 which identifies issues that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
As of October 31, 2013, we have not generated any revenues, have achieved losses since inception, and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund our operations. We may not generate any revenues from our beverage operations or our interest in the Chiligatoro Hydro-Electric Project, Iscan Hydro-Electric Project or Sayab Wind Project,. As a new competitor in the beverage line of business, there can be no assurance we will generate any 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 $85,522 in cash as of October 31, 2013. 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 do not have a commitment from any third party to provide us with financing, and there is no guarantee that any 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 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 and for the next 12 months, even if the Company does decide to scale back our operations.

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 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 Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Inasmuch as we only have one individual serving as officer, director and employee we have determined that the company has, per se, inadequate controls and procedures over financial reporting due to the lack of segregation of duties.   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 who is also the 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 October 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
