PART I

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K of High Performance Beverage Comany (referred to as the “Company,” “we” or “us”) (formerly Dethrone Royalty Holdings, Inc., formerly Exclusive Building Services, Inc.) includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). These statements are based on management's beliefs and assumptions, and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of set forth under the heading Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Forward-looking statements also include statements in which words such as “expect,”  “anticipate,”  “intend,”  “plan,”  “believe,”  “estimate,”  “consider” or similar expressions are used.

 

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They reflect our current views and expectations based largely upon the information currently available to us and are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The Company's future results and shareholder values may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. By making these forward-looking statements, we do not undertake to update them in any manner except as may be required by our disclosure obligations in filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Federal securities laws. Our actual results may differ materially from our forward-looking statements.

 

Item 1. BUSINESS

 

We were founded as an unincorporated DBA in February 1997 and were incorporated as a C corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 11, 2010. The incorporation effort included the Company issuing 10,000,000 shares of common stock to Patricia G. Skarpa, who founded and managed the business which had been operating continuously as a DBA since February 1997, and 300,000 shares to Hallie Beth Skarpa, our other director, for services rendered. These services involving the incorporation planning were valued at $10,300. Hallie Beth Skarpa is the daughter of Patricia G. Skarpa. The day-to-day operations of the Company did not change as a result of the change in legal structure.

 

On January 10, 2012, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, TO Sports Innovation, Inc. (“TO”), in Nevada. TO was inactive until March 15, 2012. Its name was changed to Dethrone Beverage, Inc. (“DB”).

 

In April 2012, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Dethrone Royalty, Inc. (the “Dethrone License Agreement”) giving the Company the right to use the Dethrone trademark worldwide in connection with the manufacture and sale of sports performance or energy drinks along with any other non-alcoholic beverage under the trade name, Dethrone Beverages.

 

In August 2012, the Company changed its name to Dethrone Royalty Holdings, Inc.

October 2013, the Dethrone License Agreement was terminated and the Company entered into a license agreement with Throwdown Industries Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Throwdown Licensor”), pursuant to which the Licensor granted an exclusive, non-sublicenseable and non-assignable right to the Company to use its trademarks and other intellectual properties (“Throwdown Trademarks”) solely in connection with the development, manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale of sports performance drinks within the United States and Canada (the “Throwdown License”) as well as a one-time right of first refusal to license other types of beverages.

 

Effective November 14, 2013, the Company changed its name to High Performance Beverages Company in order to better reflect the direction and business of the Company.

 

Dethrone License

The Dethrone License Agreement with Dethrone Royalty, Inc. is for five years and requires payments as follows:

 

Year Royalty
1 12% of Gross Profit
2 $50,000 plus 8% of Gross Profit
3 $100,000 or 6% of Gross profit, whichever is higher
4 $150,000 or 6% of Gross profit, whichever is higher
5 $200,000 or 6% of Gross profit, whichever is higher

 

3
 

 

The Dethrone License Agreement with Dethrone Royalty, Inc. specifies minimum levels of sales which, if not attained by the Company, gives Dethrone Royalty, Inc. the right to terminate the Dethrone License Agreement. These minimums are as follows:

 

Year   Minimum Sales 
1   $-0- 
2   $3,000,000 
3   $6,000,000 
4   $9,000,000 
5   $12,000,000 

 

The Dethrone License Agreement with Dethrone Royalty, Inc. also requires the Company to maintain various liability insurance coverage.

 

The Company’s officers have formulas that will be used for the initial products that are planned. They have undertaken efforts to raise the financing necessary to manufacture the initial products using outside contractors and implement marketing programs. The initial expenditures are being used for:

 

·Production of bottles, labels and caps,
·Purchase of inventory needed for beverage content,
·Marketing materials,
·Travel and business expenses, and
·Shipping costs of our first orders.

 

In October 2013, the Dethrone License Agreement was terminated.

 

Throwdown License

 

On October 10, 2013, he Company, entered into a license agreement (“Throwdown License Agreement”) with Throwdown Industries Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Throwdown Licensor”), pursuant to which the Licensor granted an exclusive, non-sublicenseable and non-assignable right to the Company to use its trademarks and other intellectual properties (“Throwdown Trademarks”) solely in connection with the development, manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale of sports performance drinks within the United States and Canada (the “Throwdown License”) as well as a one-time right of first refusal to license other types of beverages. The Company’s rights under the Throwdown License Agreement are contingent upon Licensor’s prior written approval of any sports performance drinks developed or proposed by the Company to contain any of the Trademarks (“Throwdown Licensed Products”).

 

In consideration for the Throwdown License, the Company shall pay ten percent (10%) of the net revenue generated by all sales and other transfers of the Licensed Products during the term of the Throwdown License Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall pay the minimum royalties as set forth below:

 

      Minimum   Minimum 
   Time Period:  Net Revenue   Quarterly Payments 
            
(a)  Effective Date through 12/31/13  $0.0    N/A 
(b)  01/01/14 through 12/31/14  $1,000,000.00   $37,500.00 
(c)  01/01/15 through 12/31/15  $1,600,000.00*  $50,000.00 
(d)  01/01/16 through 12/31/16  $2,500,000.00**  $75,000.00 

 

* 2015 minimum Net Revenue shall be the greater of 120% of the actual 2014 Net Revenue or $1,600,000.00.

*** 2016 Minimum Net Revenue shall be the greater of 110% of the actual 2015 Net Revenue or $2,500,000.00. During any Extension Term and beyond 2016, the annual Minimum Net Revenue shall be at least 105% greater than the previous year.

In addition to the cash payment, the Company will also issue 5,437,603 shares of its common stock to the Throwdown Licensor. During each quarter of the term of the Agreement, the Throwdown Licensor shall have the option to convert a portion or all of the greater of the minimum quarterly payments or the actual earned royalties into shares of stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to the lesser of $0.03 per share or the VWAP for the ten (10) trading days prior to the end of the respective quarter during the term.

 

During the term of the Throwdown License Agreement, the Licensor will not grant any license that will enable any third party to directly compete with the Company by selling other sports performance drinks within the United States and Canada. The Throwdown License Agreement has an initial term of three (3) years and is automatically extended for one (1) additional three (3) year period unless either party elects not to extend the term.

 

In the event the Throwdown Licensor creates an independent and formal relationship with one of the Company’s athlete endorsers, the Throwdown Licensor agrees to pay the Company twenty five percent (25%) of any compensation paid to the athlete endorser for athlete endorser participation.

 

Either party may terminate the Throwdown License Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice if the other party is in material breach of the Throwdown License Agreement and fails to cure or take reasonable steps to cure the breach within the given time period in accordance with the Throwdown License Agreement. In addition, the Licensor has the right to terminate the Throwdown License Agreement immediately upon occurrence of certain events pursuant to the Throwdown License Agreement.

 

In connection with the Throwdown License Agreement, the Company entered into a series of lock-up agreements (“Lock-up Agreement”) with certain shareholders pursuant to which the shareholders agree that they shall not transfer or dispose of any securities of the Company beneficially owned by them without prior written consent of Throwdown while the Throwdown License Agreement and the Lock-up Agreement are in effect.

 

Spinoff and Related Matters

 

On March 26, 2012, the Company entered into a Spinoff Agreement with Patricia G. Skarpa and Hallie Beth Skarpa, who were its officers and directors, as well as its largest shareholders, under which the Company agreed to sell all of the assets relating to the segment of its business that provided commercial cleaning services to office buildings in exchange for all of the liabilities, as defined, of the commercial cleaning business and the return by Patricia G. Skarpa and Hallie Beth Skarpa of an aggregate of 265,625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Spinoff Agreement the Company ceased to be engaged in providing commercial cleaning services to office buildings, and the commercial cleaning operations became a discontinued operation for financial reporting purposes.

 

On March 26, 2012, Patricia G. Skarpa and Hallie Beth Skarpa entered into agreements with Toby McBride and Michael Jay Holly under which they agreed to sell 28,125,000 shares of common stock to each (or an aggregate of 56,250,000 shares).

 

Concurrent with the execution of the Spinoff Agreement described above, the Board of Directors elected Toby McBride and Michael J. Holly as Directors. Mr. McBride was also appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Holly was appointed Vice President and Secretary.

 

Messrs. Holley and McBride each devote 100% of their time to us.

 

Upon electing Messrs. McBride and Holly to the Board of Directors, Patricia G. Skarpa and Hallie Beth Skarpa each resigned their positions as officers and directors effective immediately. The resignations of Patricia G. Skarpa and Hallie Beth Skarpa were not in connection with any known disagreement with us on any matter.

 

Current Status 

 

We have begun distribution of our product as of first calendar quarter of 2013, distributing 21 pallets. Currently we have two flavors of one product and will distribute in California to convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores and gyms. We currently work with a beverage manufacturer in Florida and several companies for packaging materials. Our initial purchase required payment upfront. Thereafter we will get net 30 day payment terms. We will ship product to two distributors with net 30 day terms.

 

5
 

 

We have also entered into an agreement with Dethrone Royalty, Inc. which:

 

·Enables us to change our corporate name to Dethrone Royalty Holdings, Inc. (“DRH”), which we did in August 2012.

 

·Have the right to match any offer that Dethrone Royalty, Inc. receives to be acquired.

 

·Dethrone Royalty, Inc. and the Company will create links to each other’s websites.

 

·Dethrone Royalty, Inc. will produce and distribute lines of shirts/clothing for each sports figure signed as endorsers by the Company and market the shirts through its normal distribution channels. The Company will receive commissions equal to 12.5% of the net sales generated by these shirts.

 

In October 2013, the Dethrone License Agreement was terminated.

 

As discussed above, In October 2013, the Company entered into the Throwdown License Agreement, pursuant to which the Throwdown Licensor granted the use of the Throwdown Trademarks solely in connection with the development, manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale of sports performance drinks within the United States and Canada as well as a one-time right of first refusal to license other types of beverages.

 

We have also entered into contracts with several professional sports personalities (Jonathan Quick, Aldon Smith, Haloti Nagata, Taj Gibson, Pablo Sandavol, Matt Moulson and Salvador Perez) to represent us by endorsing our products. All contracts cover three years and require us to issue an aggregate of 3,070,000 restricted shares of common stock over the lives of the contracts plus up to an additional 2,460,000 contingent shares based on performance criteria. During the year ended July 31, 2013, we have recorded an aggregate Marketing Expense of $393,000 relating to the shares that are issuable.

 

Competition

 

Most of our competitors, which include well-known companies and established brands like Gatorade, have significantly greater financial and marketing resources than do we. We will compete in the marketplace using the name recognition of the athletes who endorse our beverages and the taste of the beverage

 

There are no assurances that our approach will be successful.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We have no patents or trademarks.

 

Employees

 

At July 31, 2013, we had two employees, Toby McBride and Michael J. Holley, who each devote fulltime to us. There are no written employment contracts or agreements with Messrs. McBride and Holley.

 

Contractors and vendors will be used by us to conduct the manufacturing and distribution aspects of our business.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Risks Related to the Business

 

The Company has virtually no financial resources. Our independent registered auditors’ report includes an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has virtually no financial resources. We have positive working capital of $21,375 and a stockholders’ deficit of $221,055 at July 31, 2013. Our independent registered auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion on our financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013 that states that this lack of resources causes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No assurances can be given that we will generate sufficient revenue or obtain necessary financing to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is and will continue to be completely dependent on the services of our senior officers, Toby McBride and Michael Jay Holley, the loss of whose services may cause our business operations currently contemplated to cease, and we will need to engage and retain qualified employees and consultants to further implement our strategy.

 

The Company’s operations and business strategy are completely dependent upon the knowledge and business connections of Toby McBride and Michael Jay Holley. They are under no contractual obligation to remain employed by us. If either or both should choose to leave us for any reason or if either becomes ill and is unable to work for an extended period of time before we have hired additional personnel, our operations will likely fail. Even if we are able to find additional personnel, it is uncertain whether we could find someone who could develop our business along the lines described in this prospectus. We will fail without the services of Messrs. McBride and Holley or an appropriate replacement(s).

 

We intend  to acquire key-man life insurance on the lives of Messrs. McBride and Holley naming us as the beneficiary when and if we obtain the resources to do so and if they are insurable. We have not yet procured such insurance, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain such insurance in the future. Accordingly, it is important that we are able to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified and talented personnel and independent contractors.

 

Many of our likely competitors have significantly greater financial and marketing resources than do we.

 

Many of our likely competitors have significantly greater financial and marketing resources than do we. Many of these competitors have sophisticated management, are in a position to purchase inventory at the lowest prices and have the ability to advertise in a wide variety of media, including television. There are no assurances that our brand will be successful.

 

Our license agreement with Throwndown Licensor specifies minimum levels of sales which must be met. If we lost that Throwdown License Agreement, our operations as currently planned are likely to fail.

 

Our Throwdown License Agreement with Throwdown Licensor specifies minimum levels of sales which, if not attained, gives Throwdown Licensor the right to terminate the Throwdown License Agreement.  We will market our products very aggressively, but there are no assurances that we will be successful in meeting the targets set forth in the Throwdown License Agreement. If we lost that Throwdown License Agreement, our operations as currently planned are likely to fail.

 

We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that will require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs could reduce or eliminate our ability to earn a profit.

 

We are required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In order to comply with these requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm will have to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will have a major effect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.

 

7
 

 

In no case will the proceeds of this offering be sufficient to assist us in any way to meet any portion of these incremental costs of being public.

 

Toby McBride and Michael Jay Holley, our principal officers, have no significant experience managing a public company and no meaningful accounting or financial reporting education or experience and, accordingly, our ability to meet Exchange Act reporting requirements on a timely basis will be dependent to a significant degree upon others.

 

Messrs. McBride and Holley have no significant experience managing a public company and no meaningful financial reporting education or experience. They are and will be heavily dependent on engaging and dealing with outside professional advisors, primarily lawyers and financial advisors/accountants who are and will not be affiliated with our independent auditors. We have no formal arrangements with professionals and cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to establish arrangements with professionals on terms or costs that are acceptable or affordable to us.

 

Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

- pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

- provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or directors of the Company; and

- provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

 

Our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

 

Having only two directors limits our ability to establish effective independent corporate governance procedures and increases the control of our president over operations and business decisions.

 

We have only two directors, who are also our principal executive officers. Accordingly, we cannot establish board committees comprised of independent members to oversee functions like compensation or audit issues. In addition, a tie vote of board members is decided in favor of the chairman, which gives him significant control over all corporate issues, including all major decisions on operations and corporate matters such as approving business combinations.

 

Until we have a larger board of directors that would include some independent members, if ever, there will be limited oversight of our president’s decisions and activities and little ability for minority shareholders to challenge or reverse those activities and decisions, even if they are not in the best interests of minority shareholders.

 

8
 

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock 

 

Shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through issuance of additional shares of our common stock.

 

We have no committed source of financing. Wherever possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock. Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares. In addition, if a trading market develops for our common stock, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material.

 

The interests of shareholders may be hurt because we can issue shares of our common stock to individuals or entities that support existing management with such issuances serving to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of our Company.

 

Messrs. McBride and Holley own a significant majority of outstanding shares. In addition, our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued common shares. Such issuances may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management and the interests of existing management which may not be the same as the interests of other shareholders. Although transactions, other than those described in this prospectus, are not currently being contemplated or discussed, our ability to issue shares without shareholder approval serves to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of our Company or participate in other transactions, including entering into possible business combinations, without the support of other shareholders.

 

Our two principal officers control all corporate activities and can approve all transactions, including mergers, without the approval of other shareholders.

 

Messrs. McBride and Holley have a sufficient number of shares to control all corporate activities and can approve transactions, including possible mergers, issuance of shares and r compensation levels, without the approval of other shareholders. Their decisions may not be in the best interests of other shareholders.

 

Our articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability that may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation at Article XI provide for indemnification as follows: "No director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer: (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law; or (ii) the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Any repeal or modification of an Article by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation of the personal liability of a director or officer of the Corporation for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification."

 

We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with our activities, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, either of which factors is likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares, if such a market ever develops.

Currently, there is no established public market for our securities, and there can be no assurances that any established public market will ever develop or that our common stock will be quoted for trading and, even if quoted, it is likely to be subject to significant price fluctuations.

 

We have been granted a trading symbol (DRHC). However, there is and there has never been any established trading market for our common stock. There is currently no established public market whatsoever for our securities.

 

Because of the anticipated low price of the securities being registered, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in these securities. Purchasers of our securities should be aware that any market that develops in our stock will be subject to the penny stock restrictions.

 

Our shares may not become eligible to be traded electronically which would result in brokerage firms being unwilling to trade them.   

 

We plan to try, through a broker-dealer and its clearing firm, to become eligible with the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to permit our shares to trade electronically. If an issuer is not “DTC-eligible,” then its shares cannot be electronically transferred between brokerage accounts, which, based on the realities of the marketplace as it exists today (especially the OTCBB), means that shares of a company will not be traded (technically the shares can be traded manually between accounts, but this takes days and is not a realistic option for companies relying on broker dealers for stock transactions - like all companies on the OTCBB. What this boils down to is that while DTC-eligibility is not a requirement to trade on the OTCBB, it is a necessity to process trades on the OTCBB if a company’s stock is going to trade with any volume. There are no assurances that our shares will ever become DTC-eligible or, if they do, how long it will take.

 

Any market that develops in shares of our common stock will be subject to the penny stock regulations and restrictions pertaining to low priced stocks that will create a lack of liquidity and make trading difficult or impossible.

 

Our shares will be considered a “penny stock.”  Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not available to us. This classification will severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.

 

The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses that could adversely impact investors in our stock.

 

Company management believes that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

 

- Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

- Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

- "Boiler room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by sales persons;

- Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

- Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level,

 along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

  

Any trading market that may develop may be restricted by virtue of state securities “Blue Sky” laws that prohibit trading absent compliance with individual state laws. These restrictions may make it difficult or impossible to sell shares in those states.

 

There is currently no established public market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that any established public market will develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities or securities regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as “Blue Sky” laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. These restrictions prohibit the secondary trading of our common stock. We currently do not intend to and may not be able to qualify securities for resale in at least 17 states which do not offer manual exemptions (or may offer manual exemptions but may not to offer one to us if we are considered to be a shell company at the time of application) and require shares to be qualified before they can be resold by our shareholders. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for our securities to be a limited one.

Our board of directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with terms that may not be beneficial to common stockholders and with the ability to affect adversely stockholder voting power and perpetuate their control over us.

 

Our articles of incorporation allow us to issue shares of preferred stock without any vote or further action by our stockholders. Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our board of directors also has the authority to issue preferred stock without further stockholder approval, including large blocks of preferred stock. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock.

 

We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and other factors that our board of directors will consider. Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock, return on your investment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any, in the market value of our common stock.

 

Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protection against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the Nasdaq Stock Market, as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than legally required, we have not yet adopted these measures.

 

Because none of our directors are independent directors, we do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, these directors have the ability, among other things, to determine their own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.

 

We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.

You may have limited access to information regarding our business because our obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC could be automatically suspended under certain circumstances.

 

As of effectiveness of our registration statement on August 18, 2011, we are required to file periodic reports with the SEC which will be immediately available to the public for inspection and copying. Except during the year that our registration statement becomes effective, these reporting obligations may (in our discretion) be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if we have less than 300 shareholders and do not file a registration statement on Form 8A (which we have no current plans to file). If this occurs after the year in which our registration statement becomes effective, we will no longer be obligated to file periodic reports with the SEC and your access to our business information would then be even more restricted. After this registration statement on Form S-1 becomes effective, we will be required to deliver periodic reports to security holders. However, we will not be required to furnish proxy statements to security holders and our directors, officers and principal beneficial owners will not be required to report their beneficial ownership of securities to the SEC pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act until we have both 500 or more security holders and greater than $10 million in assets. This means that your access to information regarding our business will be limited.

 

For all of the foregoing reasons and others set forth herein, an investment in the Company’s securities in any market which may develop in the future involves a high degree of risk. Any person considering an investment in such securities should be aware of these and other risk factors set forth in this Form 10-K.

Market Information

 

In February 2012, the Company approved a 31.25 for 1 forward split of its common stock effective March 17, 2012. All share and per share disclosures give retroactive effect to this forward split.

 

There is not a consistently active market for the shares of our common stock. The trading symbol for our common stock is DRHC. We plan to change our trading symbol in connection with the name change to “High Performance Beverages Company.” There can be no assurance that a liquid market will develop in the foreseeable future.

 

We are trying, through a broker-dealer and its clearing firm, to become eligible with the DTC to permit our shares to trade electronically. If an issuer is not “DTC-eligible,” then its shares cannot be electronically transferred between brokerage accounts, which, based on the realities of the marketplace as it exists today (especially the OTCBB), means that shares of a company will not be traded (technically the shares can be traded manually between accounts, but this takes days and is not a realistic option for companies relying on broker dealers for stock transactions - like all companies on the OTCBB. What this means is that while DTC-eligibility is not a requirement to trade on the OTCBB, it is a necessity to process trades on the OTCBB if a company’s stock is going to trade with any volume. There are no assurances that our shares will ever become DTC-eligible or, if they do, how long it will take.

 

Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities or blue sky laws of certain states and foreign jurisdictions. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investments and should be prepared to hold the common stock for an indefinite period of time.

 

The following table sets forth the high and low bid quotations for our common stock as reported on the OTC markets for the periods indicated.

 

   High   Low 
Fiscal 2012   $    $ 
           
First Quarter   0.33    0.17 
Second Quarter   0.20    0.04 
Third Quarter   0.09    0.03 
Fourth Quarter   0.04    0.01

Holders

 

As of the close of business on December 23, 2013, there were 40 stockholders of record of our common stock, and 121,407,603 shares were issued and outstanding.

 

Dividends

 

We have never paid any cash dividends on shares of our common stock and do not anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to apply any earnings to fund the development of our business. The purchase of shares of common stock is inappropriate for investors seeking current or near term income.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

In August 2012, the Company sold an aggregate of 670,000 restricted shares of common stock for $100,000.

 

Recent sales of unregistered securities.

 

On April 30, 2013, the Company sold an 18% Senior Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $60,000 (the “Debenture”). The Debenture matures on April 30, 2014 and has an interest rate of 18% per annum payable monthly and on each conversion date. The conversion price of the Debenture is 65% of the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the Common Stock for the twenty trading days immediately prior to the conversion date.

 

Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Debenture), the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing on the Debenture through the date of the acceleration shall become at the Debenture holder’s election immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount (as defined in the Debenture). Commencing five days after the occurrence of an Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of the Debenture, the interest rate on the Debenture shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

 

In connection with the sale of the Debenture, on April 30, 2013 (the “Initial Exercise Date”) the Company issued the purchaser of the Debenture a warrant to purchase 3,726,708 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.03 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the debenture). The Warrant is exercisable on a cashless basis (as provided in the Warrant) and as a result there is no assurance that any part of the Warrant will be exercised for cash. The warrant terminates three years from the Initial Exercise Date and on such date the Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Debenture and Warrant referred to above do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to these agreements.

 

The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act for the private placement of the securities referenced herein pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering.

 

On August 26, 2013, (the “Company, sold an 8% Convertible Note in the principal amount of $42,500 (the “August Note”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement. The August Note matures on May 21, 2014 and has an interest rate of 8% per annum until the August Note becomes due. Any amount of principal or interest on the August Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 22% per annum from the due date thereof.

 

The August Note may be converted into common stock of the Company at any time beginning on the 180th day of the date of the August Note. However, the August Note shall not be converted if the conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the holder of the August Note and its affiliates to own more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Such limitations on conversion may be waived by the August Note holder upon with not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company. The conversion price is 58% of the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to the conversion date.

 

If the Company fails to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due at the maturity date, the August Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to the holder of the August Note an amount equal to the Default Sum (as defined in the August Note). If the Company fails to issue common stock of the Company upon exercise of the August Note, the August Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the Default Sum multiplied by two. Upon any other Event of Default (as defined in the August Note), the August Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to the holder of the August Note an amount equal to the greater of (i) 150% times the Default Sum or (ii) the “parity value” (as defined in the August Note) of the Default Sum to be prepaid.

The foregoing descriptions of the August Note and the Securities Purchase Agreement referred to above do not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the August Note and the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act for the private placement of the securities referenced herein pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering.

 

On October 10, 2013, the Company entered into the Throwdown License Agreement with the Throwdown Licensor, pursuant to which the Throwdown Licensor the Throwdown Trademarks solely in connection with the development, manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale of sports performance drinks within the United States and Canada as well as a one-time right of first refusal to license other types of beverages. The Company’s rights under the Throwdown License Agreement are contingent upon Throwdown Licensor’s prior written approval of any sports performance drinks developed or proposed by the Company to contain any of the Throwdown Trademarks.

 

In consideration for the Throwdown License, the Company shall pay ten percent (10%) of the net revenue generated by all sales and other transfers of the Throwdown Licensed Products during the term of the Throwdown License Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall pay the minimum royalties as set forth below:

 

          Minimum 
      Minimum   Quarterly 
   Time Period:  Net Revenue   Payments 
            
(a)  Effective Date through 12/31/13  $0.0    N/A

*** 2016 Minimum Net Revenue shall be the greater of 110% of the actual 2015 Net Revenue or $2,500,000.00. During any Extension Term and beyond 2016, the annual Minimum Net Revenue shall be at least 105% greater than the previous year.

 

In addition to the cash payment, the Company will also issue 5,437,603 shares of its common stock to the Throwdown Licensor. During each quarter of the term of the Throwdown LicenseAgreement, the Throwdown Licensor shall have the option to convert a portion or all of the greater of the minimum quarterly payments or the actual earned royalties into shares of stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to the lesser of $0.03 per share or the VWAP for the ten (10) trading days prior to the end of the respective quarter during the term.

 

During the term of the Throwdown License Agreement, the Throwdown Licensor will not grant any license that will enable any third party to directly compete with the Company by selling other sports performance drinks within the United States and Canada. The Throwdown License Agreement has an initial term of three (3) years and is automatically extended for one (1) additional three (3) year period unless either party elects not to extend the term.

 

In the event the Throwdown Licensor creates an independent and formal relationship with one of the Company’s athlete endorsers, the Throwdown Licensor agrees to pay the Company twenty five percent (25%) of any compensation paid to the athlete endorser for athlete endorser participation.

 

Either party may terminate the Throwdown License Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice if the other party is in material breach of the Throwdown License Agreement and fails to cure or take reasonable steps to cure the breach within the given time period in accordance with the Throwdown License Agreement. In addition, the Throwdown Licensor has the right to terminate the Throwdown License Agreement immediately upon occurrence of certain events pursuant to the Throwdown License Agreement.

In connection with the Throwdown License Agreement, the Company entered into a series of lock-up agreements (“Lock-up Agreement”) with certain shareholders pursuant to which the shareholders agree that they shall not transfer or dispose of any securities of the Company beneficially owned by them without prior written consent of Throwdown while the Throwdown License Agreement and the Lock-up Agreement are in effect.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Throwdown License Agreement and the Lock-up Agreement referred to above do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Throwdown License Agreement and the Lock-up Agreement.

No underwriter participated in the issuance of our shares, and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid to anyone.

 

Item 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

 

We are considered to be a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1), and, therefore, are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Our independent registered auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion on our financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2013 and 2012 that states that our lack of resources causes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

General, administrative and other expenses consist of professional fees, office supplies and travel expenses relating to the introduction of the new product line. The increase of $452,342 during the year ended July 31, 2013, from $49,820 at July 31, 2012 to $502,162 at July 31, 2013, is primarily due to amortization of deferred financing costs of $303,893 that were not incurred in the prior year, an increase in professional fees of 41,399, bad debt expense of $37,042, license fees of $13,959, royalty fees of $25,624, and commissions of $20,000.

 

Marketing costs relate to the costs of press releases and meetings with individuals considered important to the marketplace introduction of our new product line. The increase of $976,774 during the year ended July 31, 2013, from $5,863 at July 31, 2012 to $982,637 at July 31, 2013, is primarily due to share based compensation paid to professional athletes under product endorsement agreements of $942,400 and an increase in advertising costs of $29,801.

 

Product development costs consist of costs for planning for product packaging, samples and similar introductory costs. The decrease of $8,336 during the year ended July 31, 2013, from $45,413 at July 31, 2012 to $37,077 at July 31, 2013, is due to the reduced need for product development as our products have been launched and are on the market.

 

Compensation increased by $293,007, from $20,000 during the year ended July 31, 2012 to $313,007 during the year ended July 31, 2013. The increase was due to $250,507 in share based in the current period and none in the prior year and an increase in cash compensation expense of $42,500. All cash compensation was paid to Messrs. Holley and McBride and one sales manager.

 

Other income (expense) increased ($362,759) during the year ended July 31, 2013 compared to the year ended July 31 , 2012, when Other income (expense) was zero. The increase is due to interest expense of $120,329 and the change in derivative liability of $242,430.

 

Net loss for the year ended July 31, 2013 increased by $2,057,789, from ($121,121) during the the year ended July 31, 2012 to ($2,178,910), primarily due to share based compensation expense, deferred financing cost and note discount amortization, interest expense and change in derivative liability.

 

Other

 

As a corporate policy, we will incur few cash obligations that we cannot satisfy with known resources, of which there are currently none except as described in “Liquidity” below.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has financed its operations through the private placement of debt and its common stock.

 

We will continue to seek financing as necessary but cannot give any assurances that we will be successful in doing so.

 

We are a public company and, as such, have incurred and will continue to incur additional significant expenses for legal, accounting and related services. Once we become a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of '34, we will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses including annual reports and proxy statements, if required.

 

Seasonality

 

We do not yet have a basis to determine whether our business will be seasonal.

 

17
 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, obligations under any guarantee contracts or contingent obligations. We also have no other commitments, other than the costs of being a public company that will increase our operating costs or cash requirements in the future. 

 

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Item 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS

 

(a) Dismissal of PMB Helin Donovan, LLP

 

On February 28, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company dismissed PMB Helin Donovan, LLP (“PMB”) as its independent registered public accounting firm.

 

The report of PMB on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. The report did include an explanatory paragraph about the uncertainty as to the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern. During the period of PMB’s engagement as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm through February 28, 2013 (the “Engagement Period”), there were no disagreements as defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K with PMB on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PMB, would have caused it to make reference in connection with any opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. Further, during the Engagement Period, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

The Registrant has provided PMB with a copy of this Report prior to its filing with the SEC and requested PMB to furnish the Registrant with a letter addressed to the SEC, stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made above.

 

(b) Engagement of L.L. Bradford & Company, LLC.

 

On February 28, 2013, the Board of Directors appointed L.L. Bradford & Company, LLC. (“LLB”), an independent registered public accounting firm which is registered with, and governed by the rules of, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, as our independent registered public accounting firm. During our two most recent fiscal years through February 28, 2013, neither us nor anyone on our behalf consulted LLB regarding either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction regarding us, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements; or (2) any matter regarding us that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

18
 

 

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

- Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

- Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and

- that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company's management and directors; and

- Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer (one person) has reviewed the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  In making its assessment, management followed an approach based on the framework in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in a timely manner. In forming this conclusion this officer considered the fact that we were unable to timely file our Form 10K for the year ended July 31, 2013 as well as our From 10Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2013. As such we had inherent weakness in our ability to timely file our financial reports with the SEC.

  

We have made significant attempts to correct this issue including entering into an agreement to outsource our accounting and financial reporting functions to Clear Financial Solutions, Inc. of Houston, Texas. Management believes this arrangement will ensure the timely filing of future financial reports.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the last quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

 

No event occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013 that would have required disclosure in a report on Form 8-K.

The OTCBB on which our shares of common stock are quoted does not currently have any director independence requirements.

 

No member of management will be required by us to work on a full time basis. Accordingly, certain conflicts of interest may arise between us and our officer(s) and director(s) in that they may have other business interests in the future to which they devote their attention, and they may be expected to continue to do so although management time must also be devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through their exercise of such judgment as is consistent with each officer's understanding of his/her fiduciary duties to us.

 

Currently we have only two officers and directors and will seek to add additional officer(s) and/or director(s) as and when the proper personnel are located and terms of employment are mutually negotiated and agreed, and we have sufficient capital resources and cash flow to make such offers.

 

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

In September 2010 we adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct which is applicable to our future employees and which also includes a Code of Ethics for our chief executive and principal financial officers and any persons performing similar functions. A code of ethics is a written standard designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

- honest and ethical conduct,

- full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in regulatory filings and public statements,

- compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations,

- the prompt reporting violation of the code, and

- accountability for adherence to the code.

 

A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 14.1 to our Registration Statement which was declared effective on August 18, 2011.

 

Board of Directors

 

All directors hold office until the completion of their term of office, which is not longer than one year, or until their successors have been elected. Both directors’ terms of office expire on August 31, 2014. All officers are appointed annually by the board of directors and, subject to existing employment agreements (of which there are currently none) and serve at the discretion of the board. Currently, directors receive no compensation for their role as directors but may receive compensation for their role as officers.

 

As long as we have an even number of directors, tie votes on issues are resolved in favor of the chairman’s vote.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

Except as described below, during the past five years, no present director, executive officer or person nominated to become a director or an executive officer of the Company:

 

1. had a petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which he was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing;

 

20
 

 

2. was convicted in a criminal proceeding or subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

 

3. was subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him/her from or otherwise limiting his/her involvement in any of the following activities:

 

i. acting as a futures commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor commodity pool operator, floor broker, leverage transaction merchant, any other person regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or an associated person of any of the foregoing, or as an investment adviser, underwriter, broker or dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director or employee of any investment company, bank, savings and loan association or insurance company, or engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with such activity;

 

ii. engaging in any type of business practice; or

 

iii. engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or commodity or in connection with any violation of federal or state securities laws or federal commodities laws; or

 

4. was the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of an federal or state authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than 60 days the right of such person to engage in any activity described in paragraph (3) (i), above, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity; or

 

5. was found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and for which the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Concurrent with having sufficient members and resources, the Company’s board of directors will establish an audit committee and a compensation committee. We believe that we will need a minimum of five directors to have effective committee systems. The audit committee will review the results and scope of the audit and other services provided by the independent auditors and review and evaluate the system of internal controls. The compensation committee will manage any stock option plan we may establish and review and recommend compensation arrangements for the officers. No final determination has yet been made as to the memberships of these committees or when we will have sufficient members to establish committees.

 

All directors will be reimbursed by , the Company for any expenses incurred in attending directors' meetings provided that theCompany has the resources to pay these fees. The Company will consider applying for officers and directors liability insurance at such time when it has the resources to do so.

(a) The address for purposes of this table is the Company’s address which is 5137 E. Armor St., Cave Creek, AZ 85331.

(b) Unless otherwise indicated, the Company believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of the common stock beneficially owned by them. A person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities which may be acquired by such person within 60 days from the date indicated above upon the exercise of options, warrants or convertible securities. Each beneficial owner’s percentage ownership is determined by assuming that options, warrants or convertible securities that are held by such person (but not those held by any other person) and which are exercisable within 60 days of the date indicated above, have been exercised.

 

Shareholder Matters

 

As an issuer of "penny stock," the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us as long as our shares continue to be penny stocks. Although the federal securities law provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any claim that the material provided by us, including this Annual Report on Form 10-K, contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.

 

As a Nevada corporation, we are subject to the Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS" or "Nevada law"). Certain provisions of Nevada law create rights that might be deemed material to our shareholders. Other provisions might delay or make more difficult acquisitions of our stock or changes in our control or might also have the effect of preventing changes in our management or might make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that some of our shareholders may believe to be in their best interests.

 

Directors' Duties. Section 78.138 of the Nevada law allows our directors and officers, in exercising their powers to further our interests, to consider the interests of our employees, suppliers, creditors and customers. They can also consider the economy of the state and the nation, the interests of the community and of society and our long-term and short-term interests and shareholders, including the possibility that these interests may be best served by our continued independence. Our directors may resist a change or potential change in control if they, by a majority vote of a quorum, determine that the change or potential change is opposed to or not in our best interest. Our board of directors may consider these interests or have reasonable grounds to believe that, within a reasonable time, any debt which might be created as a result of the change in control would cause our assets to be less than our liabilities, render us insolvent, or cause us to file for bankruptcy protection

 

Amendments to Bylaws - Our articles of incorporation provide that the power to adopt, alter, amend, or repeal our bylaws is vested exclusively with the board of directors. In exercising this discretion, our board of directors could conceivably alter our bylaws in ways that would affect the rights of our shareholders and the ability of any shareholder or group to effect a change in our control; however, the board would not have the right to do so in a way that would violate law or the applicable terms of our articles of incorporation.

  

Item 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Our office and mailing address is 5137 E. Armor St., Cave Creek, AZ 85331. The space is provided to us by Mr. Holley who incurs no incremental costs as a result of our using the space. Therefore, he does not charge us for its use. There is no written lease agreement.

 

24
 

 

Director Independence; Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Our Board of Directors is comprised of two individuals, one of whom is integral to the operations of our company, we do not have a majority of independent directors as that term is defined under Rule 4200(a) (15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, even though that definition does not currently apply to us, because we are not listed on the NASDAQ. We anticipate that if we expand our Board of Directors in the future, that we will seek to include members who are independent.  Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board of Directors include “independent” directors.

 

Our Board of Directors has not established any committees, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee, or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by the entire board as a whole. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our Board of Directors as a whole.  Further, since our securities are not listed on an exchange, we are not subject to any qualitative requirements mandating the establishment of any particular committees.

 

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our shareholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our Board of Directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our shareholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our Board has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors. Given the nature of our operations and lack of directors and officers insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our shareholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.

 

None of our directors is an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. In general, an "audit committee financial expert" is an individual member of the audit committee or Board of Directors who:

 

understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements,
is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves,
has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements,
understands internal controls over financial reporting, and
understands audit committee functions.

 

We believe that the members of our Board of Directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.  We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances.

 

Item 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

 

Audit Fees: We have incurred fees totaling $12,482 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 with PMB Helin Donovan for audit services for the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements included as part of our Form 10-K filing and audit related services including the quarterly reviews associated with our Form 10-Q filings.

 

We have incurred fees totaling $13,550 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013 with LL Bradford for audit services for the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements included as part of our Form 10-K filing and audit related services including the quarterly reviews associated with our Form 10-Q filings.

 

25
 

 

Tax Services Fees: Tax fees consist of fees billed for professional services for tax compliance. These services include assistance regarding federal, state, and local tax compliance. Tax fees were not incurred during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012.

 

All Other Fees: Other fees, which were not incurred, would include fees for products and services other than the services reported above.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors

High Performance Beverages Company

Cave Creek, Arizona

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of High Performance Beverages Company ("the Company") as of July 31, 2013 and the related statement of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended.

 

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design , implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor's Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedure s selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement s in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances , but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of High Performance Beverages Company as of July 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that High Performance Beverages Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, High Performance Beverage Company has an accumulated deficit, negative shareholders' equity, and a net working capital deficiency at July 31, 2013, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning this matter are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors

High Performance Beverages Company

Cave Creek, Arizona

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of High Performance Beverages Company (“the Company”) as of July 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from February 28, 2007 (“Inception”) to July 31, 2012.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.  

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of High Performance Beverages Company as of July 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from Inception to July 31, 2012, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that High Performance Beverages Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, High Performance Beverages Company has not yet generated cash flow from operations and projected operating losses to be incurred during the next twelve months raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans concerning this matter are also described in Note 4.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

HIGH PERFORMANCE BEVERAGES COMPANY

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

 

High Performance Beverages Company (formerly known as Dethrone Royalty Holdings, Inc., formerly Exclusive Building Services, Inc.) (the “Company”) was founded as an unincorporated DBA in February 1997 and was incorporated as a C corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 11, 2010.

 

On January 10, 2012, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, TO Sports Innovation, Inc. (“TO”), in Nevada. TO was inactive until March 15, 2012. TO subsequently changed its name to Dethrone Beverage, Inc. (“DB”).

 

Effective November 14, 2013, the Company changed its name to High Performance Beverages Company in order to better reflect the direction and business of the Company.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.  The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on July 31. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Dethrone Beverage, Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

F-8
 

 

Discontinued Operation

 

In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements-Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”), the Company reported the results of its commercial cleaning services as a discontinued operation. The results of operations of business dispositions are   segregated from continuing operations and reflected as discontinued operations in current and prior periods. The application of the principle is discussed in Note 5, Discontinued Operation .

 

Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

 

Inventory Valuation

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value under the first-in, first-out method. The Company regularly assesses slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventory and maintains balance sheet reserves in amounts required to reduce the recorded value of inventory to lower of cost or market.

  

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company follows ASC 718-10, Stock Compensation, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized. The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.

 

In calculating the value of warrants and stock options granted in the year ended July 31, 2013, the fair value of warrants and options is estimated as of the date granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: dividend yield of 0 percent; expected volatility at the time of grant based on peer group data since the Company has no historical information; risk-free interest rate on the grant date, and expected life,

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.  

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, deposits, trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate their fair values because the applicable interest rates approximate current market rates.

 

Loss per Share

 

Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic and diluted net income per common share has been calculated by dividing the net income for the period by the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company operated as an unincorporated business until September 2010. Therefore, the results of its operations were included in the personal income tax returns of its owner. No pro forma provision for income taxes assuming the Company had been taxed as a C corporation for federal and state income tax purposes has been presented because the Company did not have pretax income in any period presented.

 

Going forward income taxes will be provided in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards.  Deferred tax expense (benefit) results  from  the net  change  during  the  year of  deferred  tax  assets  and liabilities.

  

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

No provision was made for Federal income tax.

 

F-9
 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition.  The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts.  The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company evaluates subsequent events from the date of the balance sheet through the date when the financial statements are issued.  Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them with the SEC on the EDGAR system.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had negative net working capital and a net stockholders’ deficit at July 31, 2013 and had no reliable source of ongoing debt or equity financing.

 

The Company is emphasizing a new product line involving the manufacture and sale of sports performance or energy drinks along with any other non-alcoholic beverage under the Trade Name, Dethrone Beverages. However, there are uncertainties as to whether the Company will obtain sufficient financing to introduce and distribute the planned product or, if distributed, there will be sufficient market demand for the products.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

Convertible notes payable consists of the following:

   July 31,   July 31, 
Description  2013   2012 
On November 15, 2012, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with an unaffiliated party (the “Third Party”) under which the Company received a one-year loan with a principal balance of $100,000. The loan bears interest at 20% per annum with interest payments due quarterly. In addition, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock to the lender and Mr. Holley and McBride pledged their 56,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as collateral and transferred 1,000,000 shares of free trading shares to the lender. . If the Company goes into default of the provisions of the loan, it becomes convertible into the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.001 per share (100 million shares). If an event of default occurs, the lender will have the ability of becoming the controlling shareholder of the Company. The Company recorded deferred financing costs of $560,000 in connection with these transfers.  The deferred financing costs is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan or twelve months. The company reflected amortization on the deferred financing costs in the amount of $385,143 for the year ended July 31, 2013, which is reflected in the statement of operations.  On June 20, 2013, the Company and the Third party entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Amended Note”) which amended certain terms of the Note. Pursuant to the Amended Note, the Company’s repayment of the principal balance of the Amended Note is secured by all the assets of the Company. In addition, the provisions of the Note whereby Mssrs. Holley and McBride pledged 56,250,000 of their shares of common stock of the Company were removed.  $100,000   $- 
           

On February 27, 2013, the Company entered into a $335,000 convertible loan agreement. The agreement provides for a $35,000 original issue discount. The lender, at its discretion, may provide funds up to $300,000 to the Company. It provided $60,000 at the closing of the agreement on April 30, 2013. All loans under the agreement are payable in full one year after the funds are issued together with a prorated portion of the original issue discount. All amounts outstanding under the agreement become convertible, at the lender’s discretion, into shares of the Company’s common stock starting 180 days from the execution date of the agreement. The conversion rate per share is the lower of (i) $0.044 or (ii) 60% of the lowest trade price during the 25 trading days prior to a conversion notice. The lender has agreed that it will not execute any short trades and, at no time, will hold more than 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

If the Company repays all amounts outstanding under the agreement within 90 days of the execution date, there will be no interest amounts due. If it does not pay all amounts due within 90 days of the execution date, it cannot make any other prepayments of the amounts outstanding without the consent of the lender. In addition, there will be a one-time interest charge of 12% of the amounts outstanding. The Company must also register all shares that are issuable under the agreement in any Registration Statement that it files with the SEC for any purpose.

   115,000    - 
           

On April 30, 2013, the Company sold an 18% Senior Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $60,000 (the “Debenture”). The Debenture matures on April 30, 2014 and has an interest rate of 18% per annum payable monthly and on each conversion date. The conversion price of the Debenture is 65% of the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the Common Stock for the twenty trading days immediately prior to the conversion date.

 Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Debenture), the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing on the Debenture through the date of the acceleration shall become at the Debenture holder’s election immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount (as defined in the Debenture). Commencing five days after the occurrence of an Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of the Debenture, the interest rate on the Debenture shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

 In connection with the sale of the Debenture, on April 30, 2013 (the “Initial Exercise Date”) the Company issued the purchaser of the Debenture a warrant to purchase 3,726,708 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.03 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the debenture). The Warrant is exercisable on a cashless basis (as provided in the Warrant) and as a result there is no assurance that any part of the Warrant will be exercised for cash. The warrant terminates three years from the Initial Exercise Date and on such date the Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise. The fair market value of the warrant was $50,777 on the date of issuance.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

The convertible notes payable issued on February 20, 2013 and April 30, 2013 contain a variable conversion feature (the Variable Conversion Feature) that gives rise to a derivative liability. We have measured this derivative at fair value and recognized the derivative value as a current liability and recorded the derivative value on our consolidated balance sheet.

 

Fair Value Considerations

 

GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As presented in the tables below, this hierarchy consists of three broad levels:

 

Level 1 valuations:   Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 valuations:   Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 valuations:   Significant inputs to valuation model are unobservable.

 

We classify assets and liabilities measured at fair value in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. We measure all our derivative financial instruments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The derivative is valued primarily using models based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little to no market activity. These inputs represent management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the liability at the measurement date and thus are classified as Level 3. Changes in the fair values of the derivative are recognized in earnings in the current period. During the year ended July 31, 2013, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $235,165 related to the Variable Conversion Feature and recognized a change in the derivative liability of $7,265. At July 31, 2013, derivative liability was $242,430.

 

NOTE 6 – EQUITY

 

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. In February 2012, the Company approved a 31.25 for 1 forward split of its common stock effective March 17, 2012, after which there were 359,375,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The Company also increased the number of authorized shares to 500,000,000. All share and per share disclosures in these Consolidated Financial Statements give retroactive effect to this forward split.

 

At the time of incorporation in Nevada, the Company issued 312,500,000 shares of its common stock to its President in exchange for the business of the DBA and for costs and services incurred upon incorporation and issued 9,375,000 shares to its other director for services rendered.

The Company received no proceeds from the sale of these shares.

 

On April 30, 2013, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 3,726,708 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.03 per share. The warrant is exercisable on a cashless basis and has a three year life. The fair market value of the warrant was $50,777 on the date of issuance using Black. the fair value of warrants and options is estimated as of the date granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: dividend yield of 0 percent; expected volatility of 129.23% based on peer group data since the Company has no historical information; 0.11% risk-free interest rate on the grant date, and expected life of three years.

  

On May 4, 2012, the Company sold 400,000 newly-issued restricted shares of common stock for $50,000 ($0.125 per share). After these shares were issued there were 94,150,000 shares outstanding.

 

F-11

In August 2012, the Company sold an aggregate of 670,000 restricted shares of common stock for $100,000.

 

In connection with the sale of the Debenture, on April 30, 2013 (the “Initial Exercise Date”) the Company issued the purchaser of the Debenture a warrant to purchase 3,726,708 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.03 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the debenture). The Warrant is exercisable on a cashless basis (as provided in the Warrant) and as a result there is no assurance that any part of the Warrant will be exercised for cash. The warrant terminates three years from the Initial Exercise Date and on such date the Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise. The fair market value of the warrant on the date of issuance was $50,777 using the Black-Scholes formula assuming volatility of 142.37%, and a discount rate of 0.15%.

 

In June 2013, the Company issued 1,409,585 shares of common stock under endorsement contracts. The shares were valued at $376,000.

F-12
 

 

The Dethrone License Agreement with Dethrone Royalty, Inc. is for five years and requires payments as follows:

 

Year Royalty
1 12% of Gross Profit
2 $50,000 plus 8% of Gross Profit
3 $100,000 or 6% of Gross profit, whichever is higher
4 $150,000 or 6% of Gross profit, whichever is higher
5 $200,000 or 6% of Gross profit, whichever is higher

 

The Dethrone License Agreement with Dethrone Royalty, Inc. specifies minimum levels of sales which, if not attained by the Company, gives Dethrone Royalty, Inc. the right to terminate the License Agreement. These minimums are as follows:

 

Year Minimum Sales
1 $ -0-
2 $3,000,000
3 $6,000,000
4 $9,000,000
5 $12,000,000

 

The Dethrone License Agreement with Dethrone Royalty, Inc. also requires the Company to maintain various liability insurance coverage.

 

On October 14, 2013, the licensor in this licensing agreement sent a notice of termination of this license agreement wherein it purposed to terminate this license agreement and demanded licensing fees of $475,000.

This issue has not progressed passed this point and the Company is currently awaiting service of a complaint.

 

Additionally, the Company is involved in a dispute with Overtime Marketing, SE, LLC and Overtime Marketing, LLC (“Potential Plaintiffs”) with which it had signed an agreement for marketing services. Potential plaintiffs have sent Company a demand letter seeking payment in the amount of $4,814,500 arising from an alleged breach of a term sheet that provided for the Company to compensate plaintiffs with up to 5,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock in exchange for certain marketing services. Settlement negotiations with potential plaintiffs are in process and Company legal counsel is unable at this time to estimate any potential liability of the Company resulting from this dispute. The Company is currently awaiting service of a complaint. No liability has been accrued as a result of this dispute.

 

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On October 10, 2013, the Company entered into a license agreement (“License Agreement”) with Throwdown Industries Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Licensor”), pursuant to which the Licensor granted an exclusive, non-sublicenseable and non-assignable right to the Company to use its trademarks and other intellectual properties (“Trademarks”) solely in connection with the development, manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale of sports performance drinks within the United States and Canada (the “License”) as well as a one-time right of first refusal to license other types of beverages.
