Zinco Do Brasil, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

August 31, 2013

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

 

Zinco Do Brasil, Inc. (formerly TurkPower Corporation) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on November 4, 2004 as Global Ink Supply Company and was organized for the purpose of developing e-commerce website to sell ink printer cartridges and toner. On September 28, 2012, we (i) changed our name to Zinco do Brasil, Inc., (ii) effected a reverse split on a 1:15 basis and (iii) increased the number of our authorized shares of capital stock from 310,000,000 shares to 810,000,000 of which 800,000,000 shares are common stock with a par value $0.0001 per share and 10,000,000 shares are preferred stock with a par value $0.0001 per share.

 

On August 14, 2012, the Company entered into a Binding Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ouro do Brasil Holdings Ltd. (“OBH”) and IMS Engenharia Mineral Ltda. (“IMS”) for the proposed acquisition of 99.9% (the “Transaction”) of the capital stock of Zinco do Brasil Mineracao Ltda., a company to be formed under the laws of Brazil (“ZBM”), which will be owned by OBH and IMS. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will acquire 99.9% of the total capitalization of ZBM in exchange for (i) 7,166,667 newly issued shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to OBH (the “OBH Shares”) and (ii) 1,075,000 shares of a newly-created Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to IMS (the “IMS Shares”). At the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) all officers, directors and shareholders holding 10% or more of the Company’s Common Stock shall enter into lock-up agreements.

 

The Company issued 4,711,714 of the OBH Shares to OBH and the IMS Shares to IMS. The balance of the respective shares will be issued to OBH at the Closing pursuant to a Final Transaction Agreement (“Transaction Agreement”) to be executed by the parties upon the formation of ZBM. The Transaction Agreement will contain customary terms, conditions, and covenants for a transaction of this nature.

 

In connection with the Transaction, the Company will convert an aggregate of approximately $5,000,000 of outstanding debt into approximately 3,333,333 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In addition, following the closing of the proposed transaction, the Company shall consummate a private placement offering of $300,000 secured convertible notes and, within six months of closing the proposed transaction, the Company must: (i) raise up to $6,000,000 or such amount necessary to satisfy payment to Vale S.A. to complete the acquisition of the zinc mine; and (ii) raise $17,000,000 on or before the anniversary of the closing for working capital and general corporate purposes (collectively, the “Financing Conditions”). If the Financing Conditions are not met, IMS shall have the right of rescission provided that IMS has not converted any of its IMS Shares into Common Stock.

 

The Agreement has been extended on multiple occasions in part, as a result of the substantial, partial performance made by the Company in its efforts to complete the acquisition, including the delivery of 4,711,714 shares of common stock and 1,074,999 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, as well as the conversion of an aggregate of $4,343,364 of convertible debt and related accrued interest into shares of common stock at $1.50 per share. The Company continues to devote all its efforts and operations toward the preparation of engaging in mining operations upon consummation of the transaction.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012 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 with the SEC as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, which was filed on September 20, 2013.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its wholly owned US subsidiary, TurkPower USA Corporation and its foreign subsidiary, Turkpower Enerji San. Ve Tic. A.S., of which the Company has a 99.8% controlling interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

6
 

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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, 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 August 31, 2013:

 

    Amount     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3  
Embedded conversion derivative liability   $ 14,182     $ -     $ -     $ 14,182  
Warrant derivative liabilities     305,706       -       -       305,706  
Total   $ 319,888     $ -     $ -     $ 319,888  

 

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 May 31, 2013:

 

    Amount     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3  
Embedded conversion derivative liability   $ 67,004     $ -     $ -     $ 67,004  
Warrant derivative liabilities     432,642       -       -       432,642  
Total   $ 499,646     $ -     $ -     $ 499,646  

 

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, 2013   $ 499,646  
Fair value of warrant derivative liabilities at issuance     95,161  
Unrealized derivative gains included in other expense     (274,919 )
Balance at August 31, 2013   $ 319,888  

 

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 and comprehensive loss.

 

Beginning December 1, 2012, the Company used the Lattice model to value derivative instruments issued subsequent to November 30, 2012. The change is considered a change in estimate and is applied prospectively. For warrants issued prior to December 1, 2012, the Company continues to use the Black Scholes model.

 

7
 

 

As of August 31, 2013, there were a total of 496,670 derivative warrants outstanding, of which 146,667 were valued using Black Scholes and 350,003 were valued using the Lattice model.

 

The following are the assumptions used for derivative instruments valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model:

 

    August 31, 2013     May 31, 2013  
Market value of stock on measurement date   $ 1.27     $ 1.80  
Risk-free interest rate     0.02 - 0.03 %     0.04 %
Dividend yield     0 %     0 %
Volatility factor     27 - 74 %     49 - 50 %
Term     0.00 - 0.17 year       0.25 - 0.31 year  

 

The following are the assumptions used for derivative instruments valued using the Lattice model:

 

    Initial Valuations     August 31, 2013  
Market value of common stock on measurement date   $ 1.48-$1.67     $ 1.27  
Adjusted exercise price   $ 1.99-$2.25     $ 1.99-$2.50  
Risk free interest rate     0. 60-0.66 %     0.59-0.79 %
Warrant lives in years     3       2.32-2.82  
Expected volatility     158-159 %     140-144 %
Expected dividend yields     0 %     0 %
Offering price range   $ 1.32-2.51     $ 1.04-2.51  

 

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 with the current period financial statements presentation.

 

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $285,887 for the three months ended August 31, 2013 and had a working capital deficit as of August 31, 2013 of $4,840,846. 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 - DEPOSIT ON ACQUISITION OF ZINCO DO BRASIL MINERACAO LTDA.

 

On August 14, 2012, the Company agreed with OBH and IMS for the proposed acquisition of 99.9% of ZBM, which will be owned by OBH and IMS. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will acquire 99.9% of ZBM in exchange for (i) 7,166,667common shares to OBH and (ii) 1,075,000 Series C preferred shares to IMS (the “IMS Shares”). The Company also agreed to raise $17 million which will be used to complete the acquisition of the zinc project.

 

As of the date of this filing, ZBM has not been formed and the transaction has not been completed, although some of the shares have been issued. As of August 31, 2013, 1,074,999 Series C preferred shares and 4,711,714 common shares have been issued. The fair value of OBH shares and IMS shares issued as of May 31, 2013 of $210,320 has been recorded as a deposit on the acquisition.   Since the above transaction has not yet closed and given that the Company has no existing operations, the fair value of the shares issued were based on the enterprise value done by a valuation expert.

 

In the event that the acquisition is not consummated, IMS shall have the right to rescind the agreement and the obligations of both parties shall be terminated and the contemplated transaction is voided as if the agreement was never entered into.

 

On February 13, 2013, Zinco, OBH and IMS entered into a modification of the agreement, dated August 14, 2012, to extend the date by which Zinco is required to raise $6,000,000 or such amount necessary to complete the acquisition of the zinc mine, until June 14, 2013. On June 14, 2013, the agreement was further extended to September 14, 2013. The Company is currently working on a further extension of the agreement.

NOTE 5 - SHORT TERM DEBT

 

As of August 31, 2013 and May 31, 2013, the Company owes $793,740 and $735,329, respectively, to an unrelated party.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

 

This Report contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Various matters discussed in this document and in documents incorporated by reference herein, including matters discussed under the caption “Plan of Operation,” may constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. 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

 

Zinco Do Brasil, Inc. (formerly TurkPower Corporation) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 4, 2004 as Global Ink Supply Company and was organizedto develop an e-commerce website to sell ink printer cartridges and toner. On May 11, 2010, an amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware to change the name of the Company to TurkPower Corporation. On September 28, 2012, an amendment was filed with and approved by the Secretary of State of Delaware to (i) change the name of the Company to Zinco do Brasil, Inc., (ii) effect a reverse split on a 1:15 basis and (iii) increase the number of the Company’s authorized shares of capital stock from 310,000,000 shares to 810,000,000 of which 800,000,000 shares are common stock with a par value $0.0001 per share and 10,000,000 shares are preferred stock with a par value $0.0001 per share. The amended Articles of Incorporation were approved by the State of Delaware effective September 28, 2012.

 

Business of the Company

 

On August 14, 2012, the Company entered into a Binding Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ouro do Brasil Holdings Ltd. (“OBH”) and IMS Engenharia Mineral Ltda. (“IMS”) for the proposed acquisition of 99.9% (the “Transaction”) of the capital stock of Zinco do Brasil Mineracao Ltda., a company to be formed under the laws of Brazil (“ZBM”), which will be owned by OBH and IMS. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will acquire 99.9% of the total capitalization of ZBM in exchange for (i) 7,166,667 newly issued shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to OBH (the “OBH Shares”) and (ii) 1,075,000 shares of a newly-created Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to IMS (the “IMS Shares”). At the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) all officers, directors and shareholders holding 10% or more of the Company’s Common Stock shall enter into lock-up agreements.

 

The Company issued 4,711,714 of the OBH Shares to OBH and the IMS Shares to IMS. The balance of the respective shares will be issued to OBH at the Closing pursuant to a Final Transaction Agreement (“Transaction Agreement”) to be executed by the parties upon the formation of ZBM. The Transaction Agreement will contain customary terms, conditions, and covenants for a transaction of this nature.

 

In connection with the Transaction, the Company will convert an aggregate of approximately $5,000,000 of outstanding debt into approximately 3,333,333 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In addition, following the closing of the proposed transaction, the Company shall consummate a private placement offering of $300,000 secured convertible notes and, within six months of closing the proposed transaction, the Company must: (i) raise up to $6,000,000 or such amount necessary to satisfy payment to Vale S.A. to complete the acquisition of the zinc mine; and (ii) raise $17,000,000 on or before the anniversary of the closing for working capital and general corporate purposes (collectively, the “Financing Conditions”). If the Financing Conditions are not met, IMS shall have the right of rescission provided that IMS has not converted any of its IMS Shares into Common Stock.

 

Upon execution of the Agreement, Juvenil Felix, Ed Dowling and Jose Mendo de Souza were appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors on or before the Closing; James Davidson was appointed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Ryan Hart, the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, was appointed as President; and Adriano Espeschit was appointed a Director and Chief Operations Officer. On September 26, 2012, the Registrant accepted the resignation of Kaveh Meghdadpour as member of the Board of Directors. On December 17, 2012, the Board resolved to remove James Davidson as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and appointed Ryan Hart as interim Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. On June 17, 2013, the Registrant appointed Daniel J. Kunz as its Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and, effective December 1, 2013, its Chief Executive Officer. Also on June 17, 2013, Ryan E. Hart was appointed to serve as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors.

 

11
 

 

ZBM will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to “Zinco do Brasil, Inc.” This change was approved by the State of Delaware effective September 28, 2012.

 

Further, on or before the second anniversary of the closing, the Company shall divest itself of all current assets and operations in Turkey (the “Turkish Operations”) in exchange of the assumption of any liabilities associated with the Turkish Operations.

 

As of the date of this filing, ZBM has not been formed and the transaction has not been completed. The fair value of OBH shares and IMS shares of $210,320 has been recorded as a deposit on the acquisition.

 

On February 13, 2013, Zinco, OBH and IMS entered into a modification of the Agreement, dated August 14, 2012, to extend the date by which Zinco is required to raise $6,000,000 or such amount necessary to satisfy payment to Vale S.A. to complete the acquisition of the zinc mine until June 14, 2013.

 

On June 14, 2013, the Registrant, OBH and IMS entered into a modification of the Binding Agreement dated August 14, 2012, as amended on February 13, 2013, to extend the date by which the Registrant is required to raise $6,000,000 or such amount necessary to satisfy payment to Vale S.A. to complete the acquisition of the zinc mine, until September 14, 2013. The Company is currently working on a further extension of the agreement.

 

The extension was granted, in part, as a result of the substantial, partial performance made by the Registrant in its efforts to complete the acquisition, including the delivery of 4,711,714 shares of common stock and 1,074,999 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, as well as the conversion of an aggregate of $4,343,364 of convertible debt and related accrued interest into shares of common stock at $1.50 per share. The Registrant continues to devote all its efforts and operations toward the preparation of engaging in mining operations upon consummation of the transaction. The Registrant owns a minority interest in the Kuluncak mine, an iron ore mine in Turkey formerly owned by Exxaro and is currently in the process of evaluating its options and defining its strategy regarding its asset in Turkey.

 

(b) Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $285,887 for the three months ended August 31, 2013 and had a working capital deficit as of August 31, 2013 of $4,840,846. 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 Three Months Ended August 31, 2013 and 2012

 

For the three months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012, our professional fees were $85,453 and $58,404, respectively.

 

For the three months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012, our selling, general and administrative expenses were $230,959 and $509,581, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in stock based compensation of $233,179, which decreased as certain stock-based awards were fully amortized in prior periods.

 

For the three months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012, we recorded other (income) expense of $(30,525) and $1,670,244, respectively. The decrease in other (income) expense was primarily due to (a) a loss on extinguishment of debt of $631,476 and debt conversion expenses of $966,747 for the three months ended August 31, 2012, which were not repeated in the three months ended August 31, 2013, offset by a decrease in the derivative gain of $120,281 in 2013.

 

(d) Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At August 31, 2013, we had cash of $18,208, as compared to $687 at May 31, 2013. This increase was primarily a result of proceeds from the issuance of Series D Preferred Stock of $450,000 and cash used in operations of $420,993.

 

During the next 12 months we anticipate incurring costs related to the consummation of the acquisition of ZBM, the exploration and development of ZBM’s mineral rights and fundraising activities.

 

We believe we will be able to meet these costs through the use of funds, to be loaned by or invested in us by our stockholders, management or other investors. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure such funds or that if we do so, that they will be on terms that are favorable to the Company.

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

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its wholly owned US subsidiary, TurkPower USA Corporation and its foreign subsidiary, Turkpower Enerji San. Ve Tic. A.S., of which the Company has a 99.8% controlling interest.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

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, 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.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

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.
