Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
February 29, 2012
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1 –  ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

TurkPower Corporation (“we”, “our”, “TurkPower” or the “Company”) is a Turkish-American consulting and service operations firm and junior mining company. TurkPower offers its domestic and international clients consulting services and plans to act as a full service operator for wind, hydro, solar, coal and geothermal energy parks in Turkey. In addition to its energy business, TurkPower aims to increase its involvement in the Turkish mining industry by acquiring and consolidating operational mines with proven reserves of iron ore, utilizing economies of scale to increase returns. TurkPower's strategy is to identify and evaluate properties with promising mineral potential, add further value through exploration, and then develop such properties either on its own or through collaborative agreements with industry partners having substantial experience and financial strength.

In November of 2011, the Company determined that it would cease all operations in Turkey and sell its Turkish subsidiary. During the quarter ended February 29, 2012, the Company impaired the entire Investment in the Mining Company.

NOTE 2 –  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations realized during an interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information filed as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed on August 29, 2011.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements-Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”), we reported the results of our Turkey operations as a discontinued operation. The application of ASC 205-20 is discussed in Note 4 “Discontinued Operations”.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
 
 ●
Level 1 —
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.
 ●
Level 2 —
Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.
 ●
Level 3 —
Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.
 
 
The following table presents the derivative financial instruments, the Company’s only financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis, and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of February 29, 2012:

 
 
 
 Amount

Level 2
   
Level 3
 
Embedded conversion derivative liability

Total
  $ 416,528     $ -     $ -     $ 416,528  

The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of the derivative financial instruments, measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs:

 
 
 
 
Balance at May 31, 2011

Unrealized derivative gains included in other income (expense)
   
(86,897)
 
Balance at February 29, 2012
 
$
416,528
 

The fair value of the derivative liabilities are calculated at the time of issuance and the Company records a derivative liability for the calculated value. Changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities are recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

As at February 29, 2012, the derivatives were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price on the measurement date of $0.17, term of 0.31 years – 2.48 years, expected volatility of 164%-184%, and discount rates of 0.09% and 0.24%. The Company has considered the provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in each debenture could result in the note principal being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares.
 
Reclassification

Certain accounts in the prior period were reclassified to conform to the current period financial statements presentation.

NOTE 3 –  GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had net losses of $19,325,915 for the nine months ended February 29, 2012 and had a working capital deficit as of February 29, 2012 of $6,007,241. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company intends to raise additional working capital either through debt or equity financing. The consolidated 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.

NOTE 4 –  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
In November of 2011, the Company determined that it would cease all operations in Turkey and sell its Turkish subsidiary, including the Investment in the Mining Company. As a result, the Company has identified the assets and liabilities of the Turkish subsidiary as assets of discontinued operations at February 29, 2012 and has segregated its operating results and presented them separately as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

Short-term debt

On April 27, 2010, the Company’s Turkish subsidiary borrowed €450,000 ($555,692) from a third party. The loan is unsecured, bears annual interest at 25.0% and was payable in full on October 27, 2010. The annual interest rate increased to 60% on October 28, 2010, when the loan became in default. On August 2, 2011, the Turkish subsidiary and the lender cancelled the previous loan agreement and agreed to terms for the repayment of the €450,000 short-term debt and related interest under which the Turkish subsidiary agreed to pay the lender €200,000 on August 15, 2011, and €100,000 each month thereafter through December 15, 2011 after which the Turkish subsidiary would have paid the lender €600,000 in aggregate. In addition the Company agreed to issue the lender 300,000 common shares. The Turkish subsidiary did not make any of the scheduled payments to the lender. While delinquent, the Turkish subsidiary is required to pay 2.5% interest per month on the €600,000 loan to the lender.

The Company evaluated this debt modification under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 470-50 and determined that the modification was substantial and the revised terms constituted a debt extinguishment. As a result, the Turkish subsidiary recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $115,930 representing the difference in the carrying value of the debt immediately prior to the modification of $1,016,915, consisting of $645,660 (€450,000) and $371,255 of accrued interest, and the fair value of the note immediately after the extinguishment determined to be $821,485 (€600,000) less the fair value of the shares which are owed to the lender of $79,500. The Turkish subsidiary also recognized a discount on the debt of $39,395 for imputed interest on the new note. The Turkish subsidiary is amortizing the note discount through the December 15, 2011 term of the note, and recorded amortization expense of $7,879 and $39,395 during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2012.
 
NOTE 5 –  CONVERTIBLE DEBT

Six-Month Secured Convertible Debenture issued with warrants

On August 22, 2011, the Company issued a $250,000 secured convertible debenture to a third party together with 1,136,363 common shares  and 1,850,000 warrants  to other entities controlled by the noteholder. As security, the Company granted the third party a first priority lien on all of the assets of the Company. The secured debenture bears annual interest at 18%, matures at the earlier of 1) six months and 2) upon the Company’s receipt of $500,000 of debt or equity proceeds and, together with any unpaid interest, are convertible into common shares at a conversion rate of $0.25 per share.

The relative fair value of the 1,136,363 shares of $73,017 and the fair value of the warrant liabilities and embedded conversion derivative liabilities of $300,876 was recognized as a discount to the full amount of the debt with the difference of $123,893 being recognized as a “day 1” derivative loss. The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the life of the Secured Debenture

1,100,000 of the warrants have a one year term, 750,000 of the warrants have a three year term, and all 1,850,000 warrants are exercisable at $0.25 per share. In the event the Company raises equity at less than $0.25 per share or convertible debt which may be converted into common shares at a conversion rate of less than $0.25 per share, the Holder and the Holder Entities shall receive the same terms as the terms of the new financing arrangement (which could decrease the conversion rate of the convertible debt and could decrease the exercise price of the warrants). As a result, the Company determined that the conversion feature of the Secured Debenture and related warrants are derivative liabilities (see Note 2).

Debt Modification

On February 29, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with the holder to extend the maturity date of the secured debenture to June 22, 2012 in exchange for 3,250,258 common shares.  Additionally, the 1,100,000 1-year warrants issued in connection with the secured debenture were modified by (i) extending its expiration date for another twelve months to September 1, 2013 (ii) lowering the exercise price from $0.25 to $0.1275 per warrant share and (iii) increasing the number of common shares convertible from 1,100,000 shares to 2,200,000 shares.

The Company evaluated the modification and determined that it was substantial and was therefore accounted as an extinguishment of debt.  Consequently, the fair value of the common shares of $549,294, the fair value of the additional warrants and the incremental fair value of the modified warrants of $202,549 was recorded as loss on debt extinguishment during the nine months ended February 29, 2012.  Simultaneously, the Holder converted $6,816 of the interest owed into 24,742 common shares.

These statements are based on many assumptions and estimates and are not guarantees of future performance and may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The words “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the Company’s lack of historically profitable operations, dependence on key personnel, the success of the Company’s business, ability to manage anticipated growth and other factors identified in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press releases and/or other public communications.

(a) Overview

TurkPower is a Turkish-American consulting and service operations firm and junior mining company. TurkPower offers its domestic and international clients consulting services and acts as a full service operator for wind, hydro, solar, coal and geothermal energy parks in Turkey. In addition to its energy business, TurkPower aims to increase its involvement in the mining industry by acquiring and consolidating operational mines with proven reserves utilizing economies of scale to increase returns. TurkPower's strategy is to identify and evaluate properties with promising mineral potential, add further value through exploration, and then develop such properties either on its own or through collaborative agreements with industry partners having substantial experience and financial strength.

In November of 2011, the Company ceased all operation in Turkey and will sell its Turkish subsidiary, including the Investment in the Mining Company.

The Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange with BEST, LLC (“BEST”) and the equityholders of BEST to acquire all of the capitalization of BEST in a subsidiary to be formed for such purpose, in exchange for an aggregate of (i) 120,000,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), (ii) 1,000 shares of a newly-created Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share which are convertible into and vote 260,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Series A”) and (iii) 1,000 shares of a newly created Series B Perpetual, Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share which are Convertible into and vote as 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, have a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share (the "Series B") (collectively, the “Exchange Shares”). In connection with the planned acquisition, the Company issued on March 30, 2012, 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock and 425 Series A shares.

BEST is a company organized under the laws of the Russian Federation and is the holder of a forty-nine (49) year lease to develop operate and mine Zavyalov Square, Part 1 at the Toguchina Coal Filed, located in Novosibirsk, Russia with a minimum forecasted extractable quantity of coal of 100,000,000 metric tons of coal and the owner of saleable coking coal stock of at least $20,000,000.

(b) Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had net losses of $19,325,915 for the nine months ended February 29, 2012 and had a working capital deficit as of February 29, 2012 of $6,007,241. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company intends to raise additional working capital either through debt or equity financing. The consolidated 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.

(c) Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

For the Nine Months Ended February 29, 2012

For the nine months ended February 29, 2012 and 2011 our professional fees were $594,854 and $143,644, respectively. The increase in professional fees was due to legal and accounting expenses, due diligence, and investor relations expenses.

For the nine months ended February 29, 2012 and 2011, our selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,034,215 and $115,330, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was largely due to stock compensation, payroll related expenses, and consulting expenses.
 
 
For the nine months ended February 29, 2012 and 2011, we recorded other expense of $2,390,780 and $343,479, respectively. The increase in other expense was due to interest expense incurred in connection with our convertible debt and change in fair value of the derivative liabilities.

For the nine months ended February 29, 2012 and 2011, we recorded a loss from discontinued operations of $15,306,066 compared to $841,419.  The increase in the loss from discontinued operations was due to an impairment of our Investment in Mining Company of $13,859,231 during the nine months ended February 29, 2012.  Also, the Company recorded severance expense during the nine months ended February 29, 2012 as a result of the Company’s decision to cease operations in Turkey and terminate all employees.

For the Three Months Ended February 29, 2012

For the three months ended February 29, 2012 and 2011, our professional fees were $115,302 and $46,092, respectively. The increase in professional fees was due to legal and accounting expenses, due diligence, and investor relations expenses.

For the three months ended February 29, 2012 and 2011, our selling, general and administrative expenses were $147,756 and $89,089, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was largely due to stock compensation, payroll related expenses, and consulting expenses.

For the three months ended February 29, 2012 and 2011, we recorded other expense of $1,369,883 and $109,482, respectively. The increase in other expense was due to interest expense incurred in connection with our convertible debt and change in fair value of the derivative liabilities.

For the three months ended February 29, 2012 and 2011, we recorded a loss from discontinued operations of $12,025,723 compared to $301,310.  The increase in the loss from discontinued operations was due to an impairment of our Investment in Mining Company of $11,898,041 during the three months ended February 29, 2012.  Also, the Company recorded severance expense during the nine months ended February 29, 2012 as a result of the Company’s decision to cease operations in Turkey and terminate all employees.

(d) Liquidity and Capital Resources

At February 29, 2012, we had cash of $275,958, as compared to $217,312 at May 31, 2011. This decrease was a result of cash used in operating activities of $731,106 and cash used in investing activities of $1,320,247, effect of exchange rates $25,001, partially offset by cash provided by financing activities of $2,135,000.

During the next 12 months we anticipate incurring costs related to filing of Exchange Act reports, and consummation of the acquisition of BEST.

We believe we will be able to meet these costs through use of funds in our treasury and additional amounts, as necessary, to be loaned by or invested in us by our stockholders, management or other investors.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the Company is a party, under which the Company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
 
Fair value of financial instruments
 
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses deferred revenue, and debt approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Seasonality

To date, we have not noted any significant seasonal impacts.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, Management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective because of the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures. The material weakness relates to the Company not having personnel with knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles. Our executive management does not possess accounting expertise and our Company does not have an audit committee. This weakness was due to our lack of working capital to hire additional staff during the period covered by this report. We intend to obtain this knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles by hiring a contractor and/or hiring additional accounting personnel.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, known to executive management that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
