Minerco Resources, Inc.
Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements
(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Minerco Resources, Inc. (“Minerco” or the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Minerco’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2013 as reported in Minerco’s Form 10-K have been omitted.

2. Going Concern

Minerco Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on June 21, 2007. The Company was engaged in the exploration stage from its June 21, 2007 (inception) to May 27, 2010.  In May 2010, it shifted its focus to developing, producing, and providing clean, renewable energy solutions in Central America.  On October 16, 2012, the Company added an additional line of business, Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc., a progressive specialty beverage retailer which is now its primary focus.  The Company has decided to divest of itself of its clean, renewable energy projects in Central America.  The Company has evaluated its clean energy projects in Central America and has determined they are too capital intensive to pursue at this time.
 
The Company has transitioned its focus to its specialty beverage market retailer, Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc., and its products.
 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize it assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. During the nine month period ended April 30, 2014, the Company has an accumulated deficit and minimal revenue The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company intends to fund operations through equity and debt financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending July 31, 2014.
 
 3. Accounting Policies

In the quarter ending April 30, 2014, the Company has elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. The adoption of this ASU allows the company to remove the inception to date information and all references to development stage.

Revenue recognition – The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonable assured.  This typically occurs when the product is shipped.

Inventories – Inventories are stated at the lower of cost of market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method of accounting.

4. Product Development

Product Development, net, at April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013 consists of:

On February 26, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement (the “Premium Product Development Agreement”) with Power Brands, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (“Power Brands”) to render product development services for Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc. (“Level 5”).  On February 26, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement (the “Prototype Development Agreement”) with Power Brands to render prototype development services for Level 5.  Power Brands has delivered $115,500 worth of Product and Product Development Services as of April 30, 2014. The Company expensed the Product Development services.  The Company has determined the capitalized Product development to have a useful life of 3 years, and will amortize over their useful lives unless the lives are determined to be indefinite.

5.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

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

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related party. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
 
 
The following table sets forth by level with the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on April 30, 2014.

7. Related Parties
 
On July 23, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note between the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer for $320,301 and $267,998, respectively.  The convertible notes carry a 5% rate of interest and are convertible into common stock at a variable conversion price of 50% of the market price which shall be calculated as the lowest day during the preceding 5 days before conversion.  The Convertible Promissory Notes were due on January 23, 2012.  The Convertible Promissory Notes due to former Chief Financial Officer for $267,998 has been assigned to former Chief Executive officer as of July 23, 2012.  On July 23, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note between the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer for $588,299.  The convertible notes carry a 5% rate of interest and are convertible into common stock at a variable conversion price of 50% of the market price which shall be calculated as the lowest day during the preceding 5 days before conversion.  During the nine months ended April 30, 2014, the notes assigned to third parties converted $73,000 of the convertible note into common shares. (see footnote 6) . As of April 30, 2014, the total amount outstanding is $485,999.

As of April 30, 2014, the Company owes its Chief Executive Officer $60,341 in accrued salary ($7,000 per month) for the period May 15 through April 30, 2014 and $8,203 for advances made to the Company. The advances are due on demand and non interest bearing.
 
8.  Convertible note payable and derivative liabilities
 
During the nine months ended April 30, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $799,500 from convertible promissory notes.  These notes carry interest rates between 5% and 10%.  The notes are convertible at fixed conversion rates that range from $0.0012 to $0.004 or  variable conversion prices between 45% and 60% of the market price and shall be calculated using the lowest trading days during the preceding 5 to 25 days before conversion of whichever is lower .  The Company repaid $184,500 of the convertible during the nine months ended April 30, 2014. The total principal due at April 30, 2014 is $799,900.

Due to their being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options embedded in the Convertible Promissory Notes, the options are classified as derivative liabilities and recorded at fair value.
 
Derivative Liability:
 
The fair values of the convertible notes were determined to be $5,291,245 using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Upon the issuance dates of the Convertible Promissory Notes, $799,656 was recorded as debt discount and $1,734,572 was recorded as day one loss on derivative liability.  During the nine months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a loss on mark-to-market of the conversion options of $7,623,349 and $1,456,855, respectively. As of April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013, the aggregate unamortized discount is $535,597 and $298,764, respectively.

Business Overview

Minerco Resources, Inc. was incorporated as a Nevada company on June 21, 2007 and our only two subsidiaries are Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc. (“Level 5”) and Minerco Honduras S.A. From our inception in June 2007 through May 27, 2010, we were engaged in the acquisition of interests and leases in oil and natural gas properties. In May 2010, we changed the focus of our business to the development, production and provision of clean, renewable energy solutions in Central America.  On October 16, 2012, we added a functional specialty beverage retailer, Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc., that is developed and sold under the LEVEL 5™ brand umbrella as an additional line of business, which has become our primary focus. As of September 20, 2013, we completely discontinued operations of our Renewable Energy line of business.  We continue to own royalty interests in two (2) renewable energy project(s) and an earned net revenue interest in one (1) renewable energy project; however, all operational control for all three (3) projects has been returned to the originating companies.
 
Specialty Beverage Business
 
In September, 2012, we commenced the operations of Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc. (“Level 5”), a specialty beverage company which develops, produces, markets and distributes a diversified portfolio of all-natural and highly functional brands. Level 5 has developed or acquired exclusive rights to four separate and distinct brands: LEVEL 5™ Brand, COFFEE BOOST™ Brand and VitaminFIZZ® Brand. We have established a fourth brand, The Herbal Collection™, with a private partner to add to our all-natural portfolio.
 
We organically developed the LEVEL 5™ and COFFEE BOOST™ Brands, and we acquired the exclusive rights to the VitaminFIZZ® Brand from VITAMINFIZZ, L.P. in November, 2013. The Herbal Collection™ Brand is being developed by a private company with naming rights and expertise provided by Level 5.

LEVEL 5™ Brand
 
The LEVEL 5™ product line features four (4) distinct varieties, each with a unique flavor profile aimed at addressing a specific targeted result.  LEVEL 5™ is positioned as a lifestyle brand, with a delicious and convenient easy-to-drink shot format.
 
  
RISETM (Energy Supplement)
 
  
CURVES (Women’s Supplement)
 
  
ARMOR (Wellness Supplement)
 
  
FLEX (Workout Supplement)
 
All LEVEL 5™ products are formulated with proprietary blends of amino acids, essential vitamins and minerals, and natural adaptogens.  Each ingredient has been carefully selected for its taste profile and health benefit.  LEVEL 5™ is packaged in slender 2.5 oz. PET (plastic) bottles, which are sophisticated in design and offer on-the-go convenience.  The logo, graphics, and copy are designed to communicate the key branding elements:  energy, wellness, protection, and stamina.  The brand is premium priced, with a retail price of $2.99 for one 2.5 oz. container.
 
RISE™ is expected to continue to be the flagship product of the LEVEL 5™ brand in 2014, but we will continue to seek partners to develop the other products on a specialty basis: FLEX with a gym/fitness chains, CURVES with a women’s health specialist and ARMOR with wellness / health care groups.
 
More details about the LEVEL 5™ Brand are available from our brand website at: www.level5energy.com. Information from our website is not incorporated into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
COFFEE BOOST™ Brand
 
COFFEE BOOST™ is the 2nd Generation of the LEVEL 5™ - RISE™ product and is dual designed to be taken “straight up” or added to coffee for an all-natural, healthy alternative to synthetic flavored creamers and powders and was developed to provide all the benefits of the LEVEL 5™ Brand (great taste, functionality, low calories, and all-natural ingredients in a 2.5 oz. bottle). Currently, the COFFEE BOOST™ sku’s include:
 
1.  
COFFEE BOOST™ – Coffee
 
2.  
COFFEE BOOST™ – French Vanilla
 
3.  
COFFEE BOOST™ – Hazelnut
 
4.  
COFFEE BOOST™ – Mocha
 
COFFEE BOOST™ is packaged in slender 2.5 oz. PET (plastic) bottles, which are sophisticated in design and offer on-the-go convenience.  The logo, graphics, and copy are designed to communicate the key branding elements:  dual designed energy supplement in multiple coffee based flavors.  The brand is premium priced, with a retail price of $2.99 for one 2.5 oz. container; however, the product will be sold in multiple formats including blister packs (2, 3 and 4 units per pack) and sample packs of all four current flavors at a discount.
 
More details about the COFFEE BOOST™ Brand are available from our brand website at: www.drinkcoffeeboost.com. Information from our website is not incorporated into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
VitaminFIZZ® Brand
 
VitaminFIZZ®, developed by Power Brands Consulting, LLC in 2010, is a zero calorie, vitamin enhanced soda, similar in concept to the popular VitaminWater®, only in carbonated format. VitaminFIZZ® contains 100% of daily vitamin C and B vitamins and is zero calories. VitaminFIZZ® was extensively tested in the market in 2011, but the launch was delayed while the partners’ efforts were focused on other ventures. Level 5 acquired the exclusive, worldwide rights to VitaminFIZZ® in November, 2013.
 
Power Brands and the VITAMINFIZZ, L.P. partners have been successfully engaged in the beverage business for many years.  Under the terms of the agreement pursuant to which the rights to the brand were acquired, VITAMINFIZZ, L.P. has a right to appoint a director to serve on our board of directors and in accordance with such right, Darin Ezra, the CEO of Power Brands, has been appointed to serve on the Board of Directors of Level 5.
 
The re-vitalization is complete, and VitaminFIZZ® is scheduled to be launched on both coasts this summer. Once launched, more details about the VitaminFIZZ® Brand will be available from our brand website at: www.vitamin-fizz.com.  Information from our website is not incorporated into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
The Herbal Collection™ Brand
 
On March 2, 2014, Level 5 applied for, and expects to receive, the trademark: The Herbal Collection. The growth of the THC brand is twofold: 1) by tactically developing “product” in house while 2) strategically evaluating business relationships such as partnerships and Joint Ventures with other established companies in targeted, vertical markets. THC Brand is finalizing product development and partnerships with private and public companies. THC Brand is expected to be officially launched following the launch of VitaminFIZZ® this summer.

Renewable Energy Projects
 
As of September 20, 2013, we completely discontinued operations of our Renewable Energy line of business. We continue to own royalty interests in two (2) renewable energy project(s) and an earned net revenue interest in one (1) renewable energy project(s); however, all operational control has been returned to the originating companies for all three (3) projects.
 
We currently have non-operating interests in two (2) Hydro-Electric Projects and one (1) Wind Project in various parts of Honduras (collectively the “Projects”). Both of the Hydro-Electric projects are classified as run-of-the-river projects (not conventional retention dams). The Chiligatoro Hydro-Electric Project, is in the final permitting stage of development, and the Iscan Hydro-Electric Project is currently in the early feasibility stage of development.  The wind project, Sayab Wind Project, is also in the early feasibility stage of development.  
 
To date, the Projects have not completed construction; and therefore, we have not received any revenue from any of the projects.  There can be no assurance given that these projects will be completed in a timely manner, if at all.   We have returned operational control of all three Projects, so we will rely on the operators of the Projects to complete development and construction of the Projects.  Additionally, even if construction of the projects is completed, there is no guarantee that they will be successfully used to create electricity or that will generate a consistent revenue stream for us.  
 
Business Operations
 
We first placed our products, RISE™ and COFFEE BOOST™, in retail stores on September 16, 2013. As of April 30, 2014, Level 5 had retail listings in over 400 stores and online listing through Amazon.com. As of the nine months ended April 30, 2014, our sales of RISE™ and COFFEE BOOST™ (original formulations) was $12,381.
 
VitaminFIZZ® and COFFEE BOOST™, both in new formulations and packaging will be re-launched this summer, starting in New York and California.
 
As of April 30, 2014 we had generated minimal revenue since inception and at April 30, 2014 we had an accumulated deficit of ($18,673,310), a stockholder’s deficit of ($6,242,481) and a net loss for the nine months ended April 30, 2014 of ($10,854,067) as compared to fiscal 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of ($7,819,243), a stockholder’s deficit of ($2,240,933) and a net loss of $547,403. There is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our operations are dependent upon our ability to: (1) generate sales, revenue and profit from our Level 5 products; (2) obtain necessary financing; and (3) effectively manage costs and/or attain profitable operations.   As such, the report of our independent certified auditor for the year ended July 31, 2013 is qualified subject to substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Common Stock
 
On March 30, 2010, we effected a 6 for 1 forward stock split, increasing the issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 55,257,500 to 331,545,000 shares.  On February 13, 2012, the Company effected a 150 for 1 reverse stock split, increasing the issued and outstanding share of common stock from 1,054,297,534 to 7,028,670 shares.  All share amounts throughout this Annual Report have been retroactively adjusted for all periods to reflect this stock split. On May 13, 2013, we effectuated an increase in our authorized shares of common stock from 1,175,000 to 2,500,000,000.

As of June 6, 2014, our principal balances of Convertible Promissory Notes was decreased substantially which will substantially reduce our derivative liability going forward.

Our total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2014 were $164,697, compared to operating expenses of $138,787 during the same period in fiscal 2013.

Our general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of salaries, transfer agent fees, investor relations expenses and general office expenses. The professional fees are related to our regulatory filings throughout the year.
 
Based on our planned expenditures, we require additional funds of approximately $1,200,000 to proceed with our business plan over the next 12 months. If we secure less than the full amount of financing that we require or derive less than the anticipated amount of revenue from operations, we will not be able to carry out our complete business plan and we will be forced to proceed with a scaled back business plan based on our available financial resources.

We anticipate incurring losses until the Level 5 Business creates significant, sustainable sales and revenues. Although we maintain non-operating interests in the Chiligatoro Hydro-Electric Project, Iscan Hydro-Electric Project and Sayab Wind Project, there is no assurance that revenues will be received from these interests or that the operators will construct the projects or that we will be paid our proportionate interests by the operator. Meanwhile, Level 5 has started generating revenues for the company; however, there can be no assurances that enough sales or revenues will be received to support our capital needs.
 
Future Financings

Our financial statements for the nine months ended April 30, 2014 have been prepared on a going concern basis and contain an additional explanatory paragraph in Note 2 which identifies issues that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any minimal adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
As of April 30, 2014, we have only generated revenues from our startup stage Beverage Business, have achieved losses since inception, and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund our operations. We may not generate any revenues from our interest in the Chiligatoro Hydro-Electric Project, Iscan Hydro-Electric Project or Sayab Wind Project, or from any of the hydro-electric projects in which we acquire an interest. As a new competitor in the beverage line of business, there can be no assurance we will generate any revenue from the sale of any such products and our future cash needs vary from those estimated. Accordingly, we are dependent upon obtaining outside financing to carry out our operations and pursue any acquisition and exploration activities.  In addition, we require funds to meet our current operating needs and to repay certain demand note obligations and other convertible debt obligations that will mature shortly.
 
We had $291,162 in cash as of April 30, 2014. We intend to raise the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months from revenues received from sale of our Level 5 products, private placements, shareholder loans or possibly a registered public offering (either self-underwritten or through a broker-dealer) and a $2,000,000 line of credit form an investor that is secured by a pledge of our shares of Series B preferred stock.  The line of credit has conditions, which must be met before we receive funding and there can be no assurance that we will continue to meet such conditions. If we are unsuccessful in raising enough money through such efforts, we may review other financing possibilities such as bank loans. At this time we do not have a commitment from any third party to provide us with financing other than the line of credit, and there is no guarantee that any financing will be available to us or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us. We intend to negotiate with our management and any consultants we may hire to pay parts of their salaries and fees with stock and stock options instead of cash.  
 
If we are unable to obtain the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts spent on our acquisition and development activities and our general and administrative expenses so as not to exceed the amount of capital resources that are available to us. Specifically, we anticipate deferring development, expansion and certain acquisitions pending the receipt of additional financing. Still, if we  do not secure additional financing, our current cash reserves and working capital will be not be sufficient to enable us to sustain our operations and for the next 12 months, even if the Company does decide to scale back our operations.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be reported in our Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified and pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer who is also our Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Inasmuch as we only have one individual serving as officer, director and employee we have determined that the company has, per se, inadequate controls and procedures over financial reporting due to the lack of segregation of duties despite the fact that the duties of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are performed by one individual.   Management recognizes that its controls and procedures would be substantially improved if there was a greater segregation of the duties and as such is actively seeking to remediate this issue. Management believes that the material weakness in its controls and procedures referenced did not have an effect on our financial results.  Based upon this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the nine months ended April 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On April 15, 2014, the Company filed a complaint and sued JMJ Financial relating to an alleged illegal conversion pursuant to a Promissory Note, dated November 19, 2013, in the Circuit Court of.11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County. The suit alleges the Note violates Florida’s usury laws and is, therefore, unenforceable. Minerco seeks (a) a declaratory judgment that the Note is null and void ab initio, and (b) preliminary and permanent injunctive relief prohibiting JMJ from converting any purported amounts owed pursuant to the Note into shares of Minerco’s common stock. In May, 2014, the injunctive relief bond was set at $2,500,000, cash, which we did not satisfy. Therefore, Minerco did not receive injunctive relief from the court at that time. Minerco and the Court are awaiting the Response from JMJ which is due in June, 2014.

This issuance was done with no general solicitation or advertising by us. In addition, the investor had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) since it agreed to, and received, securities bearing a legend stating that such note are restricted. This restriction ensures that this note will not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not part of a public offering.
 
On March 3, 2014, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note with Micaddan Consultants for a loan in the principal amount of $25,000.  The convertible note carries 8% rate of interest and the Note is convertible into common stock at a variable conversion price of the lower of $0.0012 or 50% of the market which shall be calculated as the lowest day during the preceding 5 days before conversion.  The issuance of the note was exempt from registration under Section 4 (a) (2) of the Securities Act.  No underwriter was involved in the offer of sale of the note.

The issuance of the note did not involve a public offering. This issuance was done with no general solicitation or advertising by us. In addition, the investor had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) since it agreed to, and received, securities bearing a legend stating that such note are restricted. This restriction ensures that this note will not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not part of a public offering.
 
On April 25, 2014, we issued 50,000,000 common shares in one (1) transaction upon conversion of a convertible promissory note dated July 23, 2012.  These shares of common stock were issued in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Act. 
 
On May 13, 2014, we issued 20,000,000 common shares in one (1) transaction upon conversion of a convertible promissory note dated July 23, 2012.  These shares of common stock were issued in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Act. 
 
Unless otherwise stated, the sales of the above securities were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, in reliance upon section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.  The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to accrue the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates issued in these transactions.
