Item 4.02Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

 

On December 16, 2013, in the process of preparing its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2013, management of High Performance Beverages Company, a Nevada corporation, (the “Company”) became aware that the Company’s financial statements in the quarterly reports for the quarters ended January 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013 erroneously did not (i) record share based compensation in the proper period, (ii) properly classify shares subscribed to but not yet issued, (iii) include the correct amount of deferred financing costs and related amortization recognized during the period and (iv) include the correct number of shares of common stock outstanding on the date of the original filings. Accordingly, the management determined that the financial statements included in the quarterly reports for the quarters ended January 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013 cannot be relied on and instructed the Company’s Chief Financial Officer to restate such financial statements and file amendments to such financial statements as soon as practicable.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors, as well as its management have discussed the matters in this Current Report on Form 8-K with L.L. Bradford & Company, LLC., the Company’s independent public registered accounting firm.
