NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1.    Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements and notes are presented as permitted on Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s annual statements and notes. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2014 Form 10-K filed with the SEC, including the audited financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will be accomplished by the Company later in the year.

These unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Colorado on January 22, 2001 under the name Pacific InterMedia, Inc. (“Pacific”).
 
On October 17, 2003, Pacific completed a business combination transaction with Raptor Networks Technology, Inc. (“Raptor”), a closely-held California corporation, through acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Raptor in exchange for authorized but previously unissued restricted common stock of Pacific.  Immediately prior to completion of the acquisition transaction, Pacific had a total of 4,034,000 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding comprised of 1,034,000 registered shares held by approximately 25 stockholders and 3,000,000 shares of restricted stock held by Pacific’s founder and sole officer and director.
 
As a material aspect of the acquisition, Pacific re-acquired and cancelled the 3,000,000 restricted shares as consideration for transfer of its remaining assets consisting of cash and office equipment to the officer and director, leaving only the registered common stock, 1,034,000 shares, as all of its issued and outstanding capital stock prior to completion of the Raptor acquisition.
 
Pursuant to terms of the acquisition agreement, all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Raptor, 19,161,256 shares, was acquired by Pacific, share-for-share, in exchange for its authorized but previously unissued common stock.  Upon completion of the acquisition, Raptor became a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific and the Raptor shareholders became shareholders of Pacific.  Unless otherwise indicated, all references in these financial statements to “the Company” include Pacific and its wholly owned subsidiary, Raptor.  All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  On December 3, 2003, Pacific changed its name to Raptor Networks Technology, Inc.
 
The acquisition transaction had been treated as a reverse merger, with Raptor considered the accounting acquirer.
 
The Company was a provider of integrated high-speed Ethernet switching systems which enable new emerging high bandwidth critical applications.  The data network market areas that the Company is targeting include video, storage, and Internet Protocol telephony and technology refresh.  The Company is currently focusing on the United States market.  Principal operations had commenced, although minimal revenues had been recognized to date.

 1.    Organization and Basis of Presentation (Continued)

The Company’s service contract with a Government prime contractor was almost depleted as of March 31, 2011 and consequently, revenues for the quarter under review amounted to close to zero.  Taking into account the current status of the U.S. Government budget and the fact that the Company no longer has any rights in or to its intellectual property, the Company was no longer able to generate future revenue in that line of business.
 
In September 2008, the Company shifted its principal operating model from product sales to licensing enabling a reduction in headcount, footprint and infrastructure that reduced operating expense run rates substantially.  This shift in business model was not successful as the Company had not generated any revenues from licensing agreements until July 5, 2011, at which time the Company entered into an agreement with California Capital Equity, LLC (“CCE”) granting CCE an exclusive license (even as to the Company) leaving the Company without any continuing rights in or to its intellectual property.  In addition, on August 1, 2011, all of the Company’s remaining assets were sold during a public foreclosure sale.  For further details on these transactions, see the disclosures in the Forms 8-K filed by the Company on July 11, 2011 and August 4, 2011.  As a result of the above transactions, the Company classified all of its operations as discontinued operations, except certain general and administrative expenses related to the public shell company, such as EDGAR fees, audit fees and legal expenses related to review of public filings and amounts related to the Company’s convertible debt.
 
All of our convertible notes payable have matured and the Company did not pay the principal balances and accrued interest at maturity or thereafter.  The note holders exercised their right as a secured lender against the Company’s assets and held a public foreclosure sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets and acquired all of these assets at a price of $100,000, which price was credited against the outstanding notes on August 1, 2011.  As a result of the public sale on August 1, 2011, the Company retained no material assets with which to continue its operations.  The Company was seeking companies or businesses with an interest in utilizing the Company as a public shell vehicle and in August 2011 signed a non-binding Letter of Intent with an interested party for a possible merger.  This transaction was completed in December 2011, when Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. (formerly Lantis Laser Inc.) acquired an 80.14% controlling equity stake in the Company. In addition to Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. issuing 5 million shares of their common stock to CCE, they were issued 109,928,311 shares in the Company to attain a 55% ownership as of December 31, 2011. The Company filed a Form 14C to amend its charter to increase the authorized shares of common stock of the Company to 500,000,000 shares, and the Company then issued an additional, 79,078,817 shares of common stock to Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. to bring the total percentage equity owned by Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. to 80.14%, and simultaneously issued 13,510,752 shares of common stock to CCE in consideration for the conversion of the convertible notes outstanding to common stock on a post-split basis. The convertible notes previously issued by Raptor Networks Technology, Inc. were converted after the Company then engaged in a 1:10 reverse stock split. Former shareholders of Raptor Networks Technology, Inc. (“RPTN”) were reissued 1 share of Mabwe Minerals Inc. for each 10 shares of RPTN. No fractional shares were issued resulting in a negligible increase to the total outstanding shares on a post-split basis. All shares herein are reflected post-split in accordance with the Staff Accounting Bulletin.
 
Effective with the change in control and conversion of notes and liabilities to equity, the Company entered the exploration stage on June 29, 2012.

1.    Organization and Basis of Presentation (Continued)

On July 18, 2012 Mabwe Minerals Inc. acquired a 49% interest in Mabwe Minerals Zimbabwe (PVT) LTD ("MAB-Z") with the issuance of 25,000 shares of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. Series B Preferred Convertible Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock"). Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into 50 common shares of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. and 25 common shares of Mabwe Minerals Inc., both subject to a one year holding period. The remaining 51% ownership in MAB-Z is held by a director of the Company, Zimbabwean resident, Tapiwa Gurupira (50% ownership), with the remaining portion owned by Asswell Gurupira (1% ownership). MAB-Z will be the operating arm of Mabwe Minerals Inc., with the Company being the primary beneficiary of all the activities of MAB-Z. MAB-Z is a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) with respect to guidance under ASC 810-10-5 and is therefore consolidated.
 
The Company formally, on September 30, 2012, appointed Tapiwa Gurupira, a 50% stakeholder of MAB-Z as a Director of Mabwe Minerals Inc.

On November 7, 2012 the principals of MAB-Z received approval from the Government of Zimbabwe to form a new parent holding corporation for the purpose of holding MAB-Z and its percentage investment stake in WGB Kinsey & Company (“Kinsey”.) The new company was Mabwe Corporation (PVT) LTD (“MAB-C”.) The new corporation owns 100% of MAB-Z and 25% of Kinsey. The Company owns a 49% stake in MAB-C the newly formed corporation; the remaining 51% ownership in MAB-C held by a director of the Company, Zimbabwean resident, Tapiwa Gurupira (50% ownership), with the remaining portion owned by Asswell Gurupira (1% ownership). MAB-C will be the operating arm of Mabwe Minerals Inc., with the Company being the primary beneficiary of all the activities of MAB-C. At this time, the Company determined that MAB-C would be a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) with respect to guidance under ASC 810-10-5 and therefore consolidated the results of that entity into the Company’s financial statements.

On January 6, 2014, MAB-Z completed the process to acquire the mineral and metal rights to 110 hectares (272 acres) contiguous with Dodge Mines.

On December 28, 2014, the Company removed Tapiwa Gurupira, a 50% stakeholder of MAB-Z as a Director of Mabwe Minerals Inc.

As fully described in Note 3, on December 28, 2014, the Company deconsolidated MAB-C, a VIE due to the fact that the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAB-C’s economic performance.

As a result of the deconsolidation, the Company exited the exploration stage and became a development stage company.

On March 30, 2015, the Company, entered into a Share Purchase and Asset Sale Agreement (the “SPA”) among Mabwe Minerals, Fonon Technologies, Inc. ("Fonon Technologies"), Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. and Dmitriy Nikitin pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 325,241,608 shares of its common stock, to give Fonon Technologies 65% ownership of Mambwe’s' capital stock on a fully diluted basis in exchange for certain assets of Fonon Technologies valued at $10,401,030 which Fonon Technologies used in its laser material processing and consumables business.

The Company intends to focus on the business of 3D FUSION™ or 3D Laser Metal Sintering ("3D Laser Metal Printing"), an emerging additive metal nano powder manufacturing technology with a presence in numerous industries including medical, aerospace and defense.  3D Laser Metal Printing has diverse applications, including the manufacturing of highly complex geometrics, fast track prototyping, mold fabrication and repair, with new emerging technically driven applications in high-tech engineering and electronics.  3D Laser Metal Printing is a layered, digitally driven additive manufacturing process that uses high quality focused laser energy to fuse metal nano powders into 3D objects. Metal powder is supplied to each customer as a consumable item after acquiring a Laser 3D Metal System.

At closing, Mabwe transferred all of its assets and liabilities including the 49% ownership interest in MAB-C and all accounts payable and related party payables to Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. to a company controlled by Al Pietrangelo so the Company will now engage in the business of 3D Laser Metal Printing.  As a result of this transfer, Mabwe was left with no assets or liabilities other than the assets acquired in the Fonon Technologies acquisition. Effective upon the closing date of the SPA, Al Pietrangelo, former President and CEO and sole director, resigned, and prior to such resignation appointed Dmitriy Nikitin to be the sole member of its Board.  Mabwe now intends to initiate a 1:10 reverse stock split, issue to Fonon Technologies an additional 65,000,000 shares of Mabwe Common Stock to achieve ownership by Fonon Technologies of 97,524,161 shares or 85% of Mabwe's 115,000,000 post-split issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, which includes a warrant issued to Al Pietrangelo, former President of Mabwe, to purchase 12,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock for a period of two years at an exercise price of .001 per share. The 12,500,000 warrants were calculated as part of the purchase price, however will not be issued until the reverse stock split becomes effective. As a result of the March 30, 2015 transaction with Fonon Technologies, all operations related to the exploration stage business of Mabwe has been reflected as discontinued operations.

The potential conversion of all outstanding warrants and convertible Preferred Series B shares of Raptor Resources Holdings, Inc., in the amount of 35,900,000 would put the Company in an oversubscribed position resulting in a potential over issuance where the total number of shares issued and outstanding would be are 501,600,000, which is 1,600,000 shares greater than the authorized limit of 500,000,000.  As a result of the common stock equivalents exceeding the authorized limit, the 1,600,000 warrants have become a derivative liability as they do not meet the requirements for equity classification. The Company is willing to cover the issuance of shares from stock previously issued to Fonon Technologies, Inc. under the March 30, 2015 SPA to fulfill this obligation if there were not enough shares authorized to avoid any securities violations

Presentation as a Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The Company has a loss from continuing operations of $42,405 and $86,875 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The Company also has an accumulated deficit of $88,339,776 and a working capital deficit of $1,220,642  at March 31, 2015.
 
In September 2008, the Company shifted its principal operating model from product sales to licensing enabling a reduction in headcount, footprint and infrastructure that reduced operating expense run rates substantially.  This shift in business model has not been successful as the Company had not generated any revenues from licensing agreements until July 5, 2011, at which time the Company entered into an agreement with California Capital Equity, LLC (“CCE”) granting CCE an exclusive license (even as to the Company) leaving the Company without any continuing rights in or to its intellectual property.

Presentation as a Going Concern (Continued)

On August 1, 2011 CCE exercised its right as a secured lender against the Company’s assets since the Company was unable to pay its outstanding notes that were due and payable and held a public foreclosure sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets. CCE acquired all of these assets at a price of $100,000, which price was credited against the outstanding notes.  As a result of the public sale on August 1, 2011, the Company retained no material assets with which to continue its operations.  The Company sought companies or businesses with an interest in utilizing the Company as a public shell vehicle and in August 2011 signed a non-binding Letter of Intent with Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. (formerly Lantis Laser Inc. (OTCQB: RRHI) which on June 28, 2012 consummated the acquisition of an 80.14% controlling equity interest in the Company. Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. issued 5,000,000 shares of their common stock to CCE and itself received 10,992,831 (post reverse split adjusted) shares in the Company to attain a 55.52% ownership as of June 28, 2012. The Company filed a Schedule 14C that was effective June 28, 2012 to amend its charter to increase the authorized shares of common stock of the Company to 500,000,000 shares. The Company issued 79,078,817 additional shares of common stock to Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. to bring the total percentage equity owned by Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. to 80.14%, and issued 13,510,752 shares of common stock to CCE in consideration of the conversion of the convertible notes outstanding to CCE. These convertible notes previously issued to CCE by Raptor Networks Technology, Inc. were converted after the Company engaged in a 1:10 reverse stock split.

Simultaneous with the reverse stock split the company was renamed Mabwe Minerals Inc. (“Mabwe” or “the Company”.) Former shareholders of Raptor Networks Technology, Inc. (“RPTN”) were reissued one share of Mabwe Minerals Inc. for each 10 shares of RPTN. No fractional shares were issued resulting in a negligible increase to the total outstanding shares on a post-split basis. All shares herein are reflected post-split in accordance with the Staff Accounting Bulletin.
 
Prior to deconsolidation, the Company had classified all of the expenses associated with extraction as period expenses.  MAB-Z has yet to realize its first shipment of barite and to date has incurred significant cost relative to a startup mining company. Additionally, the incremental expense of either hiring an additional staff member or contracting with an outside party to have our lots certified and qualified in lots and specific grades of materials would be significant and cost prohibitive. No one in the MAB-Z draws a regular salary and they are not in the position to bring on a staff member or incur the expense of routinely contracting with a qualified geologist or an otherwise expert in the field of classification and certification of barite as related to certain grades of qualities. Overall capital investment to this point has been substantial and until MAB-Z is producing positive operational cash flow it is the intent of management to minimize cash outflow to only critical expenditures.

Additionally, the grade of mineral that MAB-Z currently has stockpiled is not the desired grade of Steinbock, our master distributer and though we believe that the mineral in its current form to be a saleable grade of the commodity MAB-Z neither has the current capacity to further refine the mineral to an acceptable grade nor the ability to find another buyer for the material.

1.    Organization and Basis of Presentation (Continued)

Presentation as a Going Concern (Continued)
 
Corporations established under Zimbabwean law, must have a controlling ownership interest held by domestic parties. As a result of this statute, 51% of MAB-C was owned by Tapiwa and Asswell Gurupira (domestic residents of Zimbabwe), and the remaining 49% held by the Company. MAB-C owned 100% of MAB-Z a domestic Zimbabwe corporation. MAB-Z was the owner of the majority of the Company’s assets and obligor of a majority of the Company’s liabilities on a consolidated basis. In late 2013, the ownership of the mining rights on the Dodge Mines came into question, with certain challengers of these rights commencing litigation against MAB-Z. Despite holding legal certificates of ownership of the Dodge Mines claims that MAB-Z had, the legal system in Zimbabwe is not as clear cut as to the ownership. Several of these lawsuits have been heard, with MAB-Z being victorious on each and every count. However, appeals continue to be filed, and the outcome of these appeals are not known, and with the Dodge Mine claims being in question, it has delayed exploration and future revenue streams from the barite that these claims are said to contain. When the Company entereded into this industry in Zimbabwe with the clear title to these Dodge Mine claims, the economic conditions in Zimbabwe were not as poor as they are today, and the relationship between the Company and the Gurupira’s was also on much better terms. In fact, Tapiwa up until December 28, 2014, was a director of the Company.

In 2012, despite not having voting control of MAB-C, the entire five member board of directors of MAB-C were acting as a cohesive unit in the best interest of the Company, and  the Company had met both conditions of the VIE model, and therefore recognized MAB-C as a VIE and consolidated MAB-C into the Company’s financial statements under ASC 810. During late 2014, culminating on December 28, 2014, it became evident to the Company, that the relationship with the board members located in Africa and the board members located in the USA for MAB-C had soured. The cohesiveness that embodied the prior two years was not there, and the funding of the operations in Africa had stopped. Essentially, the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAB-C’s economic performance had terminated. As of December 28, 2014, the Company had considered that the investment of MAB-C was no longer a VIE, and thus would be considered an equity investment under ASC 970-323.

On December 28, 2014, the Company deconsolidated MAB-C, a VIE due to the fact that the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAB-C’s economic performance.

On March 30, 2015, the Company, entered into the SPA whereby transferred assets of Fonon Technologies valued at $10,401,030 allows the Company to focus operational efforts in the laser material processing and consumables business.  The Company’s business of 3D Laser Metal Printing, an emerging additive metal nano powder manufacturing technology with a presence in numerous industries with diverse applications, including the manufacturing of highly complex geometrics, fast track prototyping, mold fabrication and repair, with new emerging technically driven applications in high-tech engineering and electronics.  3D Laser Metal Printing is a layered, digitally driven additive manufacturing process that uses high quality focused laser energy to fuse metal nano powders into 3D objects. Metal powder is supplied to each customer as a consumable item after acquiring a Laser 3D Metal System.

Exploration Stage Company/Development Stage Company

As of June 29, 2012 the Company moved from an Operating Stage Company to an Exploration Stage Company as a result of the execution of the change in ownership control to the majority controlling interest by Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. This transaction was FINRA deemed effective June 28, 2012 and exploration stage activities commenced on June 29, 2012. In accordance with ASC 915 the Company will be reporting and disclosing additional information in addition to reporting and disclosure requirements otherwise prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
 
The Company had adopted the provisions of ASC 810-10-5, “Consolidation of VIEs”. ASC 810-10-5 requires a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIEs residual returns. As fully described in Note 3, on December 28, 2014, the Company deconsolidated MAB-C, a VIE due to the fact that the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAB-C’s economic performance.

As a result of the deconsolidation, the Company exited the exploration stage and became a development stage company.

With the March 30, 2015 the SPA whereby the transfer of performing assets by Fonon Technologies into the Company valued at $10,401,030 allows the Company to focus operational efforts in the laser material processing and consumables business.  The Company’s business of 3D Laser Metal Printing, an emerging additive metal nano powder manufacturing technology with a presence in numerous industries with diverse applications, including the manufacturing of highly complex geometrics, fast track prototyping, mold fabrication and repair, with new emerging technically driven applications in high-tech engineering and electronics.  3D Laser Metal Printing is a layered, digitally driven additive manufacturing process that uses high quality focused laser energy to fuse metal nano powders into 3D objects. Metal powder is supplied to each customer as a consumable item after acquiring a Laser 3D Metal System.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
Mabwe Minerals Inc. on July 18, 2012, acquired a 49% interest in Mabwe Minerals Zimbabwe (PVT) LTD (MAB-Z) through the issuance of 25,000 shares of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. Series B Preferred Convertible Stock.

Each share of the Series B Preferred Convertible Stock is convertible into 50 common shares of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. and 25 common shares of Mabwe Minerals Inc. both subject to a 1 year holding period. The remaining 51% ownership in MAB-Z is held by a Director of the Company, a Zimbabwe resident, Tapiwa Gurupira (50%) with the remaining portion owned by Asswell Gurupira (1%). MAB-Z will be the operating arm of Mabwe Minerals, Inc., with the Company being the primary beneficiary of all the activities of its subsidiary, Mabwe Minerals Zimbabwe (PVT) LTD.

Principles of Consolidation (Continued)

On November 7, 2012 the principals of MAB-Z received approval from the Government of Zimbabwe to form a new parent holding corporation for the purpose of holding MAB-Z and its percentage investment stake in WGB Kinsey & Company (“Kinsey”.) The new company was Mabwe Corporation (PVT) LTD (“MAB-C”.) The new corporation owns 100% of MAB-Z and 25% of Kinsey, which as of October 1, 2014, has been returned to Kinsey, as fully described in Note 3. The Company owns a 49% stake in MAB-C the newly formed corporation; the remaining 51% ownership in MAB-C held by a former director of the Company, Zimbabwean resident, Tapiwa Gurupira (50% ownership), with the remaining portion owned by Asswell Gurupira (1% ownership). MAB-C up through December 28, 2014, was the operating arm of Mabwe Minerals Inc., with the Company being the primary beneficiary of all the activities of MAB-C.

MAB-C was a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) with respect to guidance under ASC 810-10-5 and was therefore consolidated.

As fully described in Note 3, on December 28, 2014, the Company deconsolidated MAB-C, a VIE due to the fact that the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAB-C’s economic performance.

Pursuant to the March 30, 2015 SPA whereby the simultaneous asset purchase, the transfer of prior Company assets and liabilities to a company controlled by Al Pietrangelo and the Company’s direction to engage in the business of 3D Metal Laser Printing as well as the effective upon the closing date of the SPA, Al Pietrangelo, former President and CEO and sole director, resigned, and prior to such resignation appointed Dmitriy Nikitin to be the sole member of its Board there is no subsidiary parent arrangement.  The transferred assets of Fonon Technologies valued at $10,401,030 allow the Company to focus operational efforts in the laser material processing business.

Business Combination

On March 30, 2015, the Company, entered into a Share Purchase and Asset Sale Agreement (the “SPA”) among Mabwe Minerals, Fonon Technologies, Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. and Dmitriy Nikitin pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 325,241,608 shares of its common stock, to give Fonon Technologies 65% ownership of Mabwe’s capital stock on a fully diluted basis in exchange for certain assets of Fonon Technologies valued at $10,401,030 which Fonon Technologies used in its laser material processing and consumables business.

The Company has reviewed the SPA for consideration as a business combination and for the application of pushdown accounting, In is review of this transaction the Company considered ASU No. 2014-17, “Business Combination”  and ASC 805-50 “Business Combinations: Related Issues” sections 25 “Recognition” and 30 “Initial Management”.  As prescribed in ASC 805-50-25-1 initial recognition of the purchase of assets for equity interest consideration shall be measured at the date of acquisition. The entities of the transaction were not under common control.      

The Company has considered ASC 805-50-30 “Business Combinations: Related Issues - Initial Management” assets purchased rather than a business.  Under this provision the assets purchased are recognized at the cost to the acquiring entity.  In this case, the consideration of non-cash equity interest which was given in exchange for the assets is based upon the fair value of the assets acquired because it is more reliability measured.  This reliability is based on the uncertainty of true stock value subsequent to planned reverse spilt and the issuance of an additional 65,000,000 post-split shares of common stock to Fonon Technologies, Inc.

Business Combination (Continued)

In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17, “Business Combination.” The provisions of ASU No. 2014-17 require management to determining whether and at what threshold an acquiree (acquired entity) can reflect the acquirer’s accounting and reporting basis (pushdown accounting) in its separate financial statements.  Under the SPA the acquirees’ acquisition was of a group of performing assets and not a disparate company.  As a result of the deconsolidation on December 28, 2014, the basis of account prior to and subsequently are not materially different.  As result of the SPA, the Company, Fonon Corporation will focus on the business of 3D Laser Metal Printing.  The Company has not elected to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of this event.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company’s accounts at this institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000.
 
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates made by management include the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation of stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance of the deferred tax asset.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at fair value at the time of the SPA and are presented less accumulated depreciation.   Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives. Repairs and maintenance of a routine nature are charged as incurred.  Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.  At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Prior to the change in business, the Company recorded revenues when the following criteria were met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collection of the sales price is reasonably assured.  Delivery occurs when goods are shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer.  Revenue is deferred in all instances where the earnings process is incomplete.  The Company recognized revenue from distribution sales when all contingencies were satisfied and upon persuasive evidence of a sale to end users until such time that historical sell through ratios had been developed.  Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition were satisfied were recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying balance sheets.  Revenues and costs of revenues from consulting contracts were recognized during the period in which the service was performed.  All revenues were reported net of any sales discounts or taxes.

Since the Company entered the Exploration Stage and most recently, the Development Stage, no revenues have been recorded.

Unearned Revenue

Prior to deconsolidation as discussed in Note 3, when the Company was in the Exploration Stage, MAB-Z had yet to realize its first shipment of barite. This shipment to an agreed upon FOB point is the primary hurdle in our recognizing revenue by completing the earning process on the purchase order that was submitted by Steinbock in the third quarter of 2013. A second purchase order was issued by Steinbock in December of 2013 for 10,000 tons of barite but has not been billed by MAB-Z. This delay was due to MAB-Z’s desire to refine the current mineral extraction to a sufficiently high grade of barite to obtain a higher market price. Further delaying the process and adding cost to the process was the search and testing of equipment necessary for this further refinement. Under the terms of the initial purchase order, Steinbock agreed to pay half of the face value upon delivery of the invoice. As of December 31, 2013, the first half of the initial purchase order was paid in the amount of $105,000, with the second half due upon a vessel being loaded in Beira. This amount was expected to be recorded in MAB-Z as revenue once the initial 2,000 tons of minerals were delivered to the buyer. The second purchase order required MAB-Z to successfully produce the ordered quantity of an additional 10,000 tons after the jigging operations were to have been completed to receive the first half of the payment, and the second half to be paid upon a vessel being loaded in Beira. In addition, MAB-Z had recorded $3,740 of unearned revenue in December 2014 for stockpile inventory yet to be delivered to the customer.
 
Inventory
 
Prior to deconsolidation as discussed in Note 3, of MAB-C, inventories, including stockpiles and mineralized material were carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost was comprised of production costs for mineralized material produced and processed. Production costs included the costs of materials, costs of processing, refinement, extraction, direct labor, mine site and processing facility overhead costs and site development cost, depreciation, depletion and amortization.
 
In-process Inventories - In-process inventories represent mineralized materials that are currently in the process of being converted to a certifiable lot of saleable product through the extraction and/or refinement process. The value of in-process material is measured based on assays of the material fed into the process and the projected recoveries of material.  In-process inventories are valued at the average cost of the material extracted along with all other necessary cost to feed into the process attributable to the source material coming from the mines and/or stockpiles plus the in-process conversion costs, including applicable depreciation relating to the process facilities incurred to that point in the process.

Finished Goods Inventories - Finished goods inventories include minerals that are certified in quantifiable lots that require no further processing or capital expenditure other than loading and transport related activities from to transfer title or complete the earnings cycle. These minerals are valued per lot at the average cost of their production.

Work in process inventory (Fonon Corporation) - Work in process inventory consists of inventory purchased under the SPA that was partially manufactured or not fully assembled as of the report date.  This equipment, machines, parts, frames, lasers or assemblies are items not ready for use or resale.  Costs are accumulated as work in process until sales ready items are compete when it is moved to finished goods inventory.  Amounts in this account represent items at various stages of completion at the report date.

Finished goods inventory (Fonon Corporation) - Finished goods inventory consists of inventory purchased under the SPA that were fully manufactured, assembled or in salable condition,  Finished good inventory  is comprised of items that are complete and ready for commercial application without further cost other that delivery and setup. Finished goods inventory includes solar and other equipment, lasers, software, machines, parts or assemblies.

Stockpile reserves

Prior to deconsolidation as discussed in Note 3, for MAB-C, Stockpiles represented mineralized material that had been extracted from the mine and is available for further processing. Stockpiles were measured by estimating the number of tons added and removed from the stockpile. Stockpile tonnages were verified by periodic surveys. Costs were allocated to stockpiles based on relative values of material stockpiled and processed using current mining costs incurred up to the point of stockpiling the material, including applicable overhead, depreciation, and depletion relating to mining operations, and removed at each stockpile’s average cost per ton. Through December 28, 2014, MAB-Z, had approximately 4,000 tons of barite in stockpile. We believed that based on several factors that the associated extraction costs would best be reflected in the financial statements as representing no certain future net realizable value. 

MAB-Z was extracting API grade barite from the Dodge Mine site and as requested and desired by our master distributor. MAB-Z was actively in the process of trying to obtain necessary equipment to further refine the mineral to be able to attain and sell chemical grade barite. The additional process was to crushe and sift the extracted barite and allow for the removal of silica. The added step involved the process of jigging which separated particles in the raw barite based on specific gravity. This additional step in the process involved a large outlay of capital to acquire additional machinery to further refine the extraction and sift out unwanted minerals.
 
Site Development Cost

Prior to deconsolidation as discussed in Note 3, for MAB-C, site development costs consisted of labor, surveying, mapping, engineering, other site development and licensing as well as any development costs necessary to prepare site Dodge Mine Blocks 1-6 for mining operations.
 
Extraction Cost
 
Prior to deconsolidation as discussed in Note 3, for MAB-C, extraction costs consisted of the direct expenses of mineral removal from the established site. These costs included drilling, blasting, the loading, hauling and management of stockpiles and waste by-product, mineral refinement and excavation. These direct costs were directly associated with the production of saleable material and the increase of stockpile reserves.

Compensated Absences
 
The Company does not currently have a policy concerning due to the fact that no full time employees exist under a time based compensation agreement.
 
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain related intangibles for impairment periodically, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable.  When necessary, impaired assets are written down to estimated fair value based on the best information available.  Estimated fair value is generally based on either appraised value or measured by discounting estimated future cash flows.  Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate discounted future cash flows.  Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.  There were no assets that were considered to be impaired as of March 31, 2015.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method.   Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
The Company records a valuation allowance if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  In determining the possible realization of deferred tax assets, the Company considers future taxable income from the following sources: (i) the reversal of taxable temporary differences, (ii) taxable income from future operations and (iii) tax planning strategies that, if necessary, would be implemented to accelerate taxable income into periods in which net operating losses might otherwise expire.

The Company also recognizes the income tax effect of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.  The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  If recognized, the tax portion of the adjustment would affect the effective tax rate.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. ASC 740-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has adopted ASC 740-10 for 2008, and they evaluate their tax positions on an annual basis. The Company’s policy is to recognize both interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits expected to result in payment of cash within one year are classified as accrued liabilities, while those expected beyond one year are classified as other liabilities. The Company has not recorded any interest or penalties since its inception.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.
 
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

These inputs are prioritized below:
 
 
Level 1:
Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 
Level 2:
Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

 
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
 
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the FASB’s accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model. All stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date using the Black-Sholes Option Pricing Model, based on the fair value of the award.  The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statements of operations.
 
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period.  Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.  The forfeiture rate that the Company presently uses is 10%.
 
There was no stock based compensation recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
 
Earnings or Loss per Common Share

Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded as their effect is anti-dilutive.  For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 basic and diluted earnings per share were the same as the Company has a loss.

Goodwill

Effective July 18, 2012, the Company acquired a 49% interest of Mabwe Minerals Zimbabwe (PVT) LTD (MAB-Z) for 25,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. The value of this transaction was $25,000 resulted in the Company recording Goodwill as part of the purchase transaction. MAB-Z is the operating arm of the Company and at the time of the purchase its net assets consisted chiefly of mining rights associated with the main line of business of the company. Management periodically assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

As fully described in Note 3, on December 28, 2014, the Company deconsolidated MAB-C, a VIE due to the fact that the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAB-C’s economic performance.

Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the net loss or cash flows of the Company.

Subsequent Events

In accordance with ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”, the Company is required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17, “Business Combination.” The provisions of ASU No. 2014-17 require management to determining whether and at what threshold an acquiree (acquired entity) can reflect the acquirer’s accounting and reporting basis (pushdown accounting) in its separate financial statements. This update provides an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity in the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurs. An acquired entity should determine whether to elect to apply pushdown accounting for each individual change-in-control event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. If pushdown accounting is not applied in the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurs, an acquired entity will have the option to elect to apply pushdown accounting in a subsequent reporting period to the acquired entity’s most recent change-in-control event. An election to apply 2 pushdown accounting in a reporting period after the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurred should be considered a change in accounting principle in accordance with Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. If pushdown accounting is applied to an individual change-in-control event, that election is irrevocable. If an acquired entity elects the option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements, it should disclose information in the current reporting period that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the effect of pushdown accounting. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern.” The provisions of ASU No. 2014-15 require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on the Company’s  financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, "Development Stage Entities (Topic 915) - Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation ("ASU 2014-10")".  The objective of ASU 2014-10 is to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements for development stage entities.  ASU 2014-10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein.  The Company has elected early implementation, as permitted by the standard, for the interim period ending June 30, 2014.  All exploration stage language disclosures and amounts have been removed as a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-10.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment”, on testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The new guidance provides an entity to simplify the testing for a drop in value of intangible assets such as trademarks, patents, and distribution rights. The amended standard reduces the cost of accounting for indefinite-lived intangible assets, especially in cases where the likelihood of impairment is low. The changes permit businesses and other organizations to first use subjective criteria to determine if an intangible asset has lost value. The amendments to U.S. GAAP will be effective for fiscal years starting after September 15, 2012. The Company’s adoption of this accounting guidance does not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." ASU 2013-11 provides guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits related to any disallowed portion of net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards, if they exist. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

There were other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3.     Deconsolidation of MAB-C and MAB-Z and Equity Investment

The Company had accounted for the 49% investment in MAB-C under ASC 810-10-5, as a variable interest entity (VIE).  There are two primary models for determining whether consolidation is appropriate. These two models are a) the voting interest model; and b) the variable interest model.

Under the variable interest model, a controlling financial interest is assessed differently than under the voting interest model. This difference in assessment is required because a controlling financial interest may be achieved other than by ownership of shares or voting interests. A controlling financial interest in the VIE requires BOTH of the following: a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Corporations established under Zimbabwean law, must have a controlling ownership interest held by domestic parties. As a result of this statute, 51% of MAB-C was owned by Tapiwa and Asswell Gurupira (domestic residents of Zimbabwe), and the remaining 49% was held by the Company. MAB-C owned 100% of MAB-Z, a domestic Zimbabwe corporation. MAB-Z was the owner of the majority of the Company’s assets and obligor of a majority of the Company’s liabilities on a consolidated basis. In late 2013, the ownership of the mining rights on the Dodge Mines was challenged through litigation against MAB-Z. Despite holding legal certificates of ownership of the Dodge Mines claims that MAB-Z had, the legal system in Zimbabwe was not as clear cut as to the ownership. Several of these lawsuits were heard, with MAB-Z being victorious on each and every count. However, appeals continued to be filed, and the outcome of these appeals was not known, and with the Dodge Mine claims being in question, it delayed exploration and future revenue streams from the barite that was the subject of those claims. When the Company entered into the mining  industry in Zimbabwe with the clear title to these Dodge Mine claims, both the economic conditions in Zimbabwe as well as the relationship between the Company and the Gurupiras, was better than at the end of the first quarter of 2015. Tapiwa Gurupira was, until December 28, 2014, a director of the Company.
 
In 2012, despite not having voting control of MAB-C, the entire five member board of directors of MAB-C were acting as a cohesive unit in the best interest of the Company, and  the Company had met both conditions of the VIE model, and therefore recognized MAB-C as a VIE and consolidated MAB-C into the Company’s financial statements under ASC 810. During late 2014, culminating on December 28, 2014, it became evident to the Company, that the relationship with the board members located in Africa and the board members located in the USA for MAB-C had soured. The cohesiveness that embodied the prior two years was not there, and the funding of the operations in Africa had stopped. Essentially, the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAB-C’s economic performance had terminated. As of December 28, 2014, the Company had considered that the investment of MAB-C was no longer a VIE, and thus would be considered an equity investment under ASC 970-323.

On December 28, 2014, the Company deconsolidated MAB-C, a VIE due to the fact that the Company no longer hac the power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted MAB-C’s economic performance. The following table presents the assets and liabilities of the former VIE controlled company on the date of deconsolidation:

As of December 28, 2014, the date of deconsolidation, MAB-C’s net liabilities totaled $2,756,769.

(a)
In addition, MAB-Z the wholly-owned subsidiary of MAB-C entered into a securitized loan with a financial institution in May 2013 in the amount of $420,000. Payments were being made in accordance with the term of the agreement, however, the financial institution automatically withdrew funds from MAB-Z’s bank accounts as payments were due, despite the fact that available funds were not in the account causing significant overdrafts. The overdrawn account as of December 28, 2014 amounted to $378,489. MAB-Z recorded all of the default interest and fees related to this loan, and carried the $35,000 balance of the loan as a liability. Since the security on the loan agreement called for unlimited guarantees to the shareholders, which was MAB-C as it owned 100% of MAB-Z, by virtue of the 49% investment, the Company  recognized the $413,489 as a liability on its balance sheet as guarantor in accordance with ASC 460-10. The Company believes that the other guarantees of this debt will be sufficient to cover any outstanding obligation prior to the financial institution coming after the shareholders of MAB-Z, however has recorded the liability.
 
As a result of the deconsolidation, the Company will treat their 49% investment in accordance with ASC 970-323 as an equity method investment. Investments in less than 50% interest in the voting securities of the investee company are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investment in equity investee is increased by additional investments and earnings and decreased by dividends and losses. The Company reviews such investment in equity investee for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of its carrying value.

Effective December 28, 2014, the Company’s deconsolidated MAB-C as a result of no longer having the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAB-C’s economic performance. The Company’s retained non-controlling investment in MAB-C at fair value at the date of deconsolidation amounted to $2,756,769, net of the loss related to the write-off of $1,965,036 and the recognition of liabilities related to the guarantee of the debt of MAB-C in the amount of $413,489, which nets to a gain of $387,244.  The Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the equity investee is reflected in the caption “Gain on deconsolidation, net of impairment of loan from MAB-C” in the statements of operations. Upon the transfer of the 49% ownership in MAB-C to another entity, the guaranty of debt transferred along with this. As a result, the $413,489 was converted to equity.

The Company is not obligated or committed to provide additional funds or further financial support to MAB-C and as such the Company shall not record additional share of losses of MAB-C upon reducing such investment to zero.

4.     Discontinued Operations – MAB-C

On March 30, 2015 the Company transferred its 49% interest in MAB-C to Mabwe Minerals Inc., a South Dakota corporation.  As a result of this this transfer the Company is now reflecting the formerly stated assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, gains and losses as results from discontinued operations.  At December 31, 2014, as a result of the December 28, 2014 deconsolidation the Company had no assets or liabilities as a result of discontinued operations.  The Company had not, since inception, recognized any revenue from these discontinued operations.  Expenses from discontinued operations were the result of cost associated with site development activities as well as legal fees and court costs associated with the Company’s 49% investment in MAB-C.

5.     Equity Investment - Kinsey

On October 29, 2012, the Company, MAB-C, and Kinsey entered into an Equity Exchange Agreement (“Equity Exchange Agreement”). In accordance with the Equity Exchange Agreement, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of their common stock to Kinsey in exchange for a 25% ownership for MAB-C in Kinsey. Originally, under the contract should the value of the 5,000,000 shares of common stock fail to be valued at $5,000,000 on December 31, 2013, the Company would have issued additional shares of common stock to achieve that value for Kinsey. The Equity Exchange Agreement was later revised on December 5, 2013 to exclude this provision of the issuance of the additional shares. The common shares issued have been initially valued at $500,000, as the price of MBMI common stock was trading at $0.10 per share.

The investment has been accounted for as an equity investment under ASC 323. In accordance with the ASC, the investment will be maintained at fair value, and increased or decreased based upon the net income or loss of Kinsey as well as any contributions made and dividends paid. The Company’s investment decreased $542,908 to $12,367 as a result of the incremental loss of Kinsey for the year ended December 31, 2013 at 25% ownership by MAB-C, and then reduced by $12,367 during the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Kinsey investment was treated as an equity investment under ASC 970-323. In accordance with ASC 970-323 as an equity method investment, investments in less than 50% interest in the voting securities of the investee company in which the Company has significant influence are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investment in equity investee is increased by additional investments and earnings and decreased by dividends and losses. The Company reviews such Investment in equity investee for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of its carrying value. As there was no value in this investment, and the Company had built up extensive accrued costs related to the exploration of the Dodge Mines and Kinsey’s business was failing due to the economic condition in Africa, effective October 1, 2014, MAB-C and Kinsey agreed to exchange the 25% ownership in Kinsey back to Kinsey in exchange for the accrued exploration costs (net of prepaid withholding fees) in the amount of $478,014. In this transaction, Kinsey gets to keep the 5,000,000 shares of the Company. As a result of the transaction, Kinsey is no longer an investment on the books of MAB-C.

6.     Related Party Transactions

With the acquisition of MAB-Z, the chief revenue producing asset (the mining rights of the Dodge Mine Blocks 1-6 and the associated note payable) was transferred from a fully-consolidated subsidiary of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. TAG-Z to MAB-Z, at the time of the transfer, a fully-consolidated variable interest entity of the Company, which is a majority-owned subsidiary of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. The value transferred to MAB-Z for the mining rights had a book value of $433,000 offset by a note payable of $57,000 at the time of transfer. This value of $376,000 in related party loans was further offset by net payment of expenses incurred by and paid on behalf of consolidating parent Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. Though the balance in the related party payable is nearly identical to that of the Dodge Mine Blocks Net asset there have been several invoices flow through the account in either direction. Subsequent to this initial transaction, there have been several transactions flowing through MAB-Z and MAB-C to and from Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. and there subsidiary TAG Minerals and TAG-Z. On December 28, 2014, the date of deconsolidation, $426,456 was due to these related entities by MAB-C/MAB-Z.

Additionally, the Company has a payable due to Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. of $26,228 as of December 31, 2014 for various expenses paid on behalf of the Company by Raptor Resources Holdings Inc.

On November 27, 2013 the Company paid $30,000 as a year-end bonus to Lion Capital Group LLC (“LION”), a Wyoming LLC. Lion is equally owned by Tapiwa Gurupira, Al Pietrangelo, Dean Harrison and J. Louis Schlegel IV, all of whom were directors and/or officers of MAB-C.

7.     Loan Payable – Related Party

Prior to deconsolidation as discussed in Note 3, for MAB-C, effective July 26, 2012 MAB-Z entered into a one year financing short term loan agreement with OVERSEAS TRADE AND FINANCING LIMITED (“OTF”) for an amount of $40,000 with accrued interest at an original rate of 12%. The balance with interest and fees of $48,026 ($8,026) of accrued interest which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses) was due at December 31, 2013. Under the original terms of the contract the loan was to have been fully repaid within 360 days of the effective date. Failure to pay as prescribed or duly extend loan period will result in the accrual of late charges at a rate of 6% per annum. Extension and drawdown fees are 1% and 2%, respectively. OTF is owned and controlled by a former director of MAB-C and was recently registered with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, External Loans Co-coordinating Committee. In accordance with the newly registered loan, the interest rate will now be 8% per annum, and no default rate is in place.

The warrants do not meet conditions for equity classification and are required to be carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  Management estimated the fair value of the warrants on March 30, 2015, as this is the date the warrants were reclassified to liability classification, and subsequently at each reporting period, using the Lattice option-pricing model, adjusted for dilution, because that technique embodies all assumptions (including volatility, expected terms, dilution and risk free rates) that are necessary to determine the fair value of freestanding warrants. This valuation resulted in a derivative liability on the balance sheet in the amount of $0 at March 30, 2015 (initial classification) and March 31, 2015 (end of reporting period), respectively.

As fully described in Note 3, on December 28, 2014, the Company deconsolidated MAB-C, a VIE due to the fact that the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAB-C’s economic performance. As of March 31, 2015, there is no change to the value of the ARO on the Company’s financial statements.

13.        Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
 
Preferred Convertible Series B Stock (RRHI)

As of March 31, 2015, Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. (“RRHI”) had authorized 2,500,000 shares of Preferred Convertible Series B Stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, there were no sales of RRHI Preferred Convertible Series B Stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, no shares of RRHI Preferred Convertible Series B Stock were converted to shares of common stock in MBMI.

Preferred Convertible Series B Stock (RRHI) (Continued)
 
As of March 31, 2015, RRHI had 1,372,000 shares of RRHI Preferred Convertible Series B Stock issued and outstanding which if converted would result in the issuance of 34,300,000 common shares of MBMI.  There have been no conversions RRHI Preferred Convertible Series B Stock as of March 31, 2015.

Common Stock

The Company’s authorized capital consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value per share.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 the Company issued 325,241,608 shares of common stock to bring the total issued and outstanding shares to 465,700,000.

The potential conversion of all outstanding warrants and convertible Preferred Series B shares of Raptor Resources Holdings, Inc., in the amount of 35,900,000 would put the Company in an oversubscribed position resulting in a potential over issuance where the total number of shares issued and outstanding would be are 501,600,000, which is 1,600,000 shares greater than the authorized limit of 500,000,000.  As a result of the common stock equivalents exceeding the authorized limit, the 1,600,000 warrants have become a derivative liability as they do not meet the requirements for equity classification. The Company is willing to cover the issuance of shares from stock previously issued to Fonon Technologies, Inc. under the March 30, 2015 SPA to fulfill this obligation if there were not enough shares authorized to avoid any securities violations.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company issued 110,000 shares of common stock for investor relations and accounting services rendered and to be rendered at a value of $7,300.  The Company also sold through private placement 100,000 common shares for a cash price of $5,000 ($.05/share.) The controlling interest of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. was diluted to 64.13% based on new issuances of common stock that year.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 6,677,642 shares of stock through private placement for cash in the amount of $880,500. 3,105,000 warrants were issued with these placements, exercisable for 1 year at a price of $.15 per share. The Company also issued 1,590,000 shares of its common stock for accounting, promotional and public relation services rendered and to be rendered at a value of $187,487. The controlling interest of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. was diluted to 64.22% based on new issuances of common stock that year.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued: 5,000,000 shares of common stock through private placement for cash in the amount of $250,000; 5,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $500,000 to purchase for MAB-C, a 25% ownership in Kinsey per the Equity Exchange Agreement; 6,590,000 shares of common stock valued at $152,375 for services rendered and to be rendered; and 3,000,000 shares of common stock to two former officers of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. to offset the related party debt outstanding with Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. The controlling interest percentage of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc, was 68.25%.
 
During 2012, the Company executed a 1:10 reverse stock split where every ten (10) shares of stock was converted to one (1) share. No fractional shares were issued resulting in a negligible increase to the total outstanding shares on a post-split basis. All shares are reflected on a post-split basis unless indicated.

Common Stock

On June 29, 2012, the Company issued 79,078,817 shares of common stock to Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. to bring the total percentage equity owned by Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. to 80.14%, and simultaneously issued 13,510,752 shares of common stock to CCE in consideration for the conversion of the convertible notes outstanding to common stock. During 2011, the Company issued 10,992,831 shares of common stock (on a post-split basis) to Raptor Resources Holdings Inc.(f/k/a Lantis Laser Inc.) representing 55% of the Company. The transaction was treated as an equity transaction, and Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. issued 5,000,000 shares of their common stock to CCE in exchange for the guaranty to convert their debt to common stock of the Company post-split, upon the Company’s successful amendment to their charter which enabled them to increase the authorized shares to 500,000,000 allowing the issuance to CCE of 13,510,752 shares of the Company’s stock.
 
As of March 31, 2015, the Company has 465,700,000 shares issued and outstanding.

14.       Income Taxes
 
The Company computes and records taxes payable based upon determination of taxable income which is different from pre-tax financial statement income.  Such differences arise from the reporting of financial statement amounts in different periods for tax purposes.  The timing differences are a result of different accounting methods being used for financial and tax reporting.
 
The Company’s total deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities were as follows at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

A valuation allowance has been established against the realization of the deferred tax assets since the Company has determined that the operating loss carryforwards may not be realized. The Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $46,150,704 and $46,137,134, respectively expiring between 2026 and 2035, respectively.
 
Internal Revenue Code Section 382 imposes limitation on our ability to utilize net operating losses if we experience an ownership change and for the NOL’s acquired in the acquisitions of subsidiaries.  An ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership percentage of 5% or greater stockholders in the stock of the corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period.  The value of the stock at the time of an ownership change is multiplied by the applicable long-term tax exempt interest rate to calculate the annual limitation.  Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years. The Company in June 2012 experienced a greater than 50% ownership change, so the rules of IRC section 382 apply.

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits before valuation allowances and the amount that would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods after valuation allowances were zero.

15.    Commitments
 
Land Lease Agreement

Prior to deconsolidation as discussed in Note 3, on May 13, 2013, MAB-Z entered into a 20 year agreement with Ettie Magadzire, owner of Palm Grove Farm whereby rights of unrestricted access to claims of MAB-Z were granted (“Land Lease Agreement”). Magadzire possessing surface rights to the property on which the claims were located under this agreement conveyed the right of use for MAB-Z to explore, test, sample, verify, assess the full nature and extent of the deposit, and to develop the mineral resources of aforesaid claims. In consideration for those rights MAB-Z agreed to pay to Magadzire $70,000 payable quarterly in arrears after the first annual installment is paid in the following manner: (a) $17,500 payable in $5,000 cash (paid), $5,000 for a vehicle (paid by officer of MAB-Z and included in related party payable) and $7,500 in fuel (paid); (b) $17,500 payable six months after commencement of mining operations at the Claims; (c) $17,500 payable nine months after commencement of mining operations; and (d) $17,500 payable one-year after commencement of mining operations. Then payments by MAB-Z were to be made in quarterly installments of $17,500 (or $70,000 per year). The agreement had a total value of $1,400,000.

Letter of Credit
 
Prior to deconsolidation as discussed in Note 3, on February 8, 2013, MAB-Z was issued as beneficiary an irrevocable documentary letter of credit from Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations, Inc. in the documentary credit amount of $3,000,000 per lot of crude barite (or a total of $9,000,000) to pay for shipments from Beira, Mozambique to any U.S. Gulf port of three lots of barite meeting the specifications set forth in the letter of credit. The first shipment was to be made between June 1, 2013 and August 31, 2013, the second shipment was to be made between September 1, 2013 and November 30, 2013 and the third shipment must be made between December 1, 2013 and March 1, 2014. MAB-Z was discussing with Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations revised shipment dates in light of the delays experienced in obtaining the Environmental Impact Assessment Certificate dated July 4, 2013 from the Environmental Management Agency of Zimbabwe to allow it to commence mining operations for barite. No update on these discussions is available as of the date of this filing.
 
16.       Securitized Loans
 
Prior to deconsolidation as discussed in Note 3, effective May 16, 2013 MAB-Z entered into a one year securitized financing short term agreement with CBZ Bank Limited in the amount of $420,000.  As security under this agreement Kinsey pledged two Bell HD2045 Hydraulic Excavators appraised at a combined value of $739,000, further guaranteed by the shareholders of MAB-Z.  The loan originally was to be paid in monthly installments commencing in December 2013 in the amount of $35,000 plus interest expiring on June 30, 2014 upon which time all monies were due and payable in full.  The interest rate on the loan was 15% per year. Upon funding of this loan a 3% establishment fee was charged and deducted from the proceeds.  MAB-Z may in the future obtain funding through securitizations and other attempts to raise capital until cash flow operations are self-sustaining in the support of continuing operations.
 
This agreement was subsequently modified in January 2014 to adjust the payment schedule whereby payments of $35,000 per month plus full to date interest is due and payable commencing February 2014 and will continue each month there after including interest with the last payment due January 31, 2015.

Subsequent to the restructuring, the account was over-drafted due to withdrawal of timely interest and principal payments as well as miscellaneous bank fees. The overdraft position as provided for in the agreement carries the banks minimum lending rate plus a 12% margin agreed to on the original loan upon acceptance.  Additionally, as provided in our agreement this overdraft position not being previously agreed and authorized carried a penalty interest rate of an additional 10%.  Additionally the bank reserved the right to increase or change the minimum rate during the term of this line at its sole discretion.

16.       Securitized Loans (Continued)

Currently the bank has assigned an additional premium of 3%.  This rate was a floating rate and was assigned at the discretion of the bank. MAB-Z continued to try to renegotiate the terms of this loan.
 
As of December 31, 2014, MAB-Z reflected the entire amount in current liabilities. MAB-Z expensed $110,862 for interest on this loan and the associated overdraft line of credit for the year ended December 31, 2014. The interest charged on the loan in the amount of $110,862 consisted of $74,652 of standard loan interest and $36,210 of overdraft interest.  MAB-Z paid $104,870 in interest during the year ended December 31, 2014, most of which was reclassified as overdraft, leaving an interest payable balance of $5,991.

The overdrawn account as of December 28, 2014 amounted to $378,489. MAB-Z recorded all of the default interest and fees related to this loan as described above, and carry the $35,000 balance of the loan as a liability. Since the security on the loan agreement called for unlimited guarantees by the shareholders, which was MAB-C as it owned 100% of MAB-Z, by virtue of the 49% investment the Company had recognized the $413,489 as a liability on their balance sheet as guarantor in accordance with ASC 460-10. The Company believed that the other guarantors of this debt would be sufficient to cover any outstanding obligation prior to the financial institution asserting any claims for the debt owed by the shareholders of MAB-Z.  As a result of the transfer of the 49% interest in MAB-C to another company, the $413,489 guaranty was converted to equity as the Company no longer guaranteed the repayment of any debt associated with the securitized loan.

This current overdraft position puts MAB-Z in default of that obligation which it continued to aggressively renegotiate.
 
17.           Subsequent Events

On April 15, 2015 20,000 shares of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. (RRHI) Preferred Convertible Series B Stock were converted. This stock is convertible into 50 shares of RRHI common stock and 25 shares of Mabwe Minerals Inc. common stock after a one year holding period is met.  The issuance of these 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are pending issuance by the transfer agent and have yet to be issued and are not reflected in any of the issued and outstanding figures in this report.  As a result of this conversion the issued and outstanding shares of Company stock would be 466,200,000.

Effective April 16, 2015 the Company received approval from the State of Wyoming for a trade name change to do business as "Fonon Corporation".

our inability to continue as a going concern,
 
our inability to raise additional capital,
 
lower sales and revenues than forecast,
 
our inability to carry out our marketing and sales plans,
 
unexpected costs and operating deficits,
 
our failure to establish relationships with and capitalize upon access to new customers,

adverse economic conditions,
 
entry of new and stronger competitors,
 
changes in interest rates and inflationary factors, and
 
other specific risks that may be referred to in this report or in other reports that we have issued.
 
These forward-looking statements necessarily depend upon assumptions and estimates that may prove to be incorrect.  Although we believe that the assumptions and estimates reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that we will achieve our plans, intentions or expectations.  The forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ in significant ways from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.  Except as required by law, we undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement after the date of this report, either to conform any statement to reflect actual results or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
 
Any of the factors described above, elsewhere in this report, or in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K could cause our financial results, including our net income (loss) or growth in net income (loss) to differ materially from prior results, which in turn could, among other things, cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.
 
Overview
 
We were organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on January 22, 2001 under the name Pacific InterMedia, Inc.  We originally were engaged in the business of offering EDGAR filing services to companies outsourcing the formatting and electronic filing of registration statements, periodic reports and other forms with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”), but generated minimal revenues from these operations.  On October 17, 2003, we completed a business combination transaction with Raptor Networks Technology, Inc., a California corporation (“Raptor”), whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Raptor in a cashless common stock share-for-share exchange in which Raptor became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
 
Upon the completion of this acquisition transaction, we changed our name to Raptor Networks Technology, Inc., terminated our EDGAR filing services operations and, by and through our subsidiary Raptor, became engaged in the data network switching industry.  At that time we focused on the design, production and sale of standards-based, proprietary high-speed network switching technologies.  We financed the development of our technology through the sale of a series of convertible notes which matured prior to the time that we were able to generate sufficient revenues to pay the principal and accrued interest upon their maturity.
 

On June 17, 2011, Raptor Acquisition, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of California Capital Equity, LLC (“CCE”) purchased all of the convertible notes payable from the previous note holders in an outside transaction.  

On July 5, 2011, we entered into an agreement with CCE, dated effective as of July 1, 2011, whereby the Company granted CCE an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid, transferrable and sublicensable right and license in and to all of the Company’s intellectual property, including, but not limited to, all of the Company’s registered patents and patent applications (the “IP License”).  The IP License was exclusive even as to the Company, such that the Company no longer had any continuing rights in or to any of its intellectual property.
 
In consideration of the IP License, the Company received from CCE a one-time, lump-sum cash payment in the amount of $384,000 (the “Cash Payment”).  Subject to any consents or approvals that may have been required from CCE as holder of the Company’s senior notes (described below), the Company employed the Cash Payment over the next two or three months to settle amounts owing to certain or all of the Company’s junior creditors and to wind down the Company’s operations.

On July 6, 2011, CCE, holder of all of the Company’s senior notes, provided the Company notice of default under the senior notes, declaring all amounts thereunder due and payable in full, and of CCE’s intent to exercise its rights and remedies as a secured lender against the Company’s assets.

On August 1, 2011, CCE, in its capacity as a secured lender, held a public foreclosure sale (the “Public Sale”) of substantially all of the Company’s assets, including, but not limited to, the Company’s inventory, equipment, machinery, intellectual property, accounts receivable and other intangibles (collectively, the “Assets”).  CCE was the only bidder at the Public Sale, acquiring all of the Assets for a credit bid in the amount of $100,000.  The remaining balance of the senior notes in the amount of approximately $11,300,000 remains as an outstanding obligation of the Company.

On August 1, 2011, the Company terminated the lease of its existing facility effective August 31, 2011.

As a result of the Public Sale, the Company retained no material assets with which to continue its operations.  The Company continued to wind down over the next month.  Also as disclosed in the Prior Report, in addition to facilitating the Company’s wind-down efforts, and again subject to any consents or approvals that may be required from CCE as holder of the Company’s senior notes, the Company was seeking companies or businesses with an interest in utilizing the Company as a “public shell” vehicle.

On August 19, 2011 the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent for a merger transaction with Lantis Laser Inc.

On December 5, 2011, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated effective as of December 2, 2011 (the “Agreement”), with Lantis Laser Inc. (LLSR.PK) (“Lantis”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue Lantis 109,928,311 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Company Shares”) in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of unregistered Lantis common stock.  Upon issuance, the Company Shares represented approximately 55% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding common stock.
 The Agreement was part of a series of contemplated transactions whereby, after issuance of the Company Shares, Lantis and the Company effected a 1:10 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock and subsequently the Company issued Lantis additional shares of the Company’s common stock so that after the reverse stock split Lantis owned approximately 80% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
 
Among other terms of the Agreement, the Company’s officers, Thomas Wittenschlaeger (President and CEO) and Bab Van Leyen (CFO) and directors, Thomas Wittenschlaeger (Chairman), Ken Bramlett and Larry L. Enterline (including all members of all committees of the Board), resigned on December 16, 2011 upon closing of the Agreement and were replaced by Al Pietrangelo, the sole Lantis appointee to the Board who also served as the sole executive officer of the Company.  In addition, we changed our domicile from the State of Colorado to the State of Wyoming and changed our name to Mabwe Minerals Inc.  We increased our authorized shares of common stock from 200 million to 500 million.


On March 30, 2015, we entered into a Share Purchase and Asset Sale Agreement (the “SPA”) among Mabwe Minerals, Fonon Technologies, Inc. ("Fonon"), Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. and Dmitriy Nikitin pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 325,241,608 shares of its common stock, to give Fonon 65% ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of Mabwes' capital stock on a fully diluted basis in exchange for certain assets of Fonon valued at approximately $10 million that Fonon uses in its laser material processing business. The potential conversion of all outstanding warrants and convertible Preferred Series B shares of Raptor Resources Holdings, Inc., in the amount of 35,900,000 would put the Company in an oversubscribed position resulting in a potential over issuance where the total number of shares issued and outstanding would be are 501,600,000, which is 1,600,000 shares greater than the authorized limit of 500,000,000.  Since the warrant exercise prices exceed the current price of the Company's share price this is an unlikely event but, to avoid any potential breach of contract as a result of the common stock equivalents exceeding the authorized limit, the 1,600,000 warrants have become a derivative liability as they do not meet the requirements for equity classification. The Company is willing to cover the issuance of shares from stock previously issued to Fonon Technologies, Inc. under the March 30, 2015 SPA to fulfill this obligation if there were not enough shares authorized to avoid any contractual violations.

Fonon intends for the Company to focus on the business of 3D FUSION™ or 3D Laser Metal Sintering ("3D Laser Metal Printing"), an emerging additive metal nano powder manufacturing technology with a presence in numerous industries including medical, aerospace and defense.  3D Laser Metal Printing has diverse applications, including the manufacturing of highly complex geometrics, fast track prototyping, mold fabrication and repair, with new emerging technically driven applications in high-tech engineering and electronics.  3D Laser Metal Printing is a layered, digitally driven additive manufacturing process that uses high quality focused laser energy to fuse metal nano powders into 3D objects. Metal powder is supplied to each customer as a consumable item after acquiring a Laser 3D Metal System.

At closing, Mabwe transferred all of its assets and liabilities to a company controlled by Al Pietrangelo so the Company will now engage in the business of Fonon.  Effective upon the closing date of the SPA, Al Pietrangelo, former President and CEO and sole director, resigned, and prior to such resignation appointed Dmitriy Nikitin to be the sole member of its Board.  We now intend to initiate a 1:10 reverse stock split, issue to Fonon an additional 65,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to achieve ownership by Fonon of 97,524,161 shares or 85% of our 115,000,000 post-split issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, which includes a warrant issued to Al Pietrangelo, former President of Mabwe, to purchase 12,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock for a period of two years at an exercise price of .001 per share.

The Company's executive offices are now at 400 Rinehart Road, #1000, Lake Mary, FL 32746.

Going Concern Qualification
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  There is an accumulated deficit of $88,339,776.  The Company had no revenues as of March 31, 2015.

            On December 28, 2014, the Company deconsolidated MAB-C, a VIE due to the fact that the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAB-C’s economic performance.

On March 30, 2015, the Company, entered into the SPA whereby transferred assets of Fonon Technologies valued at $10,401,030 allows the Company to focus operational efforts in the laser material processing and consumables business.  The Company’s business of 3D Laser Metal Printing, an emerging additive metal nano powder manufacturing technology with a presence in numerous industries with diverse applications, including the manufacturing of highly complex geometrics, fast track prototyping, mold fabrication and repair, with new emerging technically driven applications in high-tech engineering and electronics.  3D Laser Metal Printing is a layered, digitally driven additive manufacturing process that uses high quality focused laser energy to fuse metal nano powders into 3D objects. Metal powder is supplied to each customer as a consumable item after acquiring a Laser 3D Metal System.


 The Company believes that through the effectuation of these assets as well as the ability to in the future obtain funding through securitizations, private placement stock issuances and/or other attempts to raise capital until cash flow operations are self-sustaining in the support of continuing operations.

As fully described in Note 3, on December 28, 2014, the Company deconsolidated MAB-C, a VIE due to the fact that the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAB-C’s economic performance.

As a result of the deconsolidation, the Company exited the exploration stage and became a development stage company.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  The preparation of our financial statements requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures.  We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  The significant accounting policies that are believed to be the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating the reported financial results include the valuation of derivative financial instruments and stock-based compensation and the recoverability of deferred income tax assets.

Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 810-10-5, “Consolidation of VIEs”. ASC 810-10-5 requires a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIEs residual returns.

As fully described in Note 3, on December 28, 2014, the Company deconsolidated MAB-C, a VIE due to the fact that the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAB-C’s economic performance.

Pursuant to the March 30, 2015 SPA whereby the simultaneous asset purchase, the transfer of prior Company assets and liabilities to a company controlled by Al Pietrangelo and the Company’s direction to engage in the business of 3D Metal Laser Printing as well as the effective upon the closing date of the SPA, Al Pietrangelo, former President and CEO and sole director, resigned, and prior to such resignation appointed Dmitriy Nikitin to be the sole member of its Board there is no subsidiary parent arrangement.  The transferred assets of Fonon Technologies valued at $10,401,030 allow the Company to focus operational efforts in the laser material processing business.
 
Exploration Stage Company
 
As of June 29, 2012 the Company moved from an Operating Stage Company to an Exploration Stage Company as a result of the execution of the change in ownership control to the majority controlling interest by Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. This transaction was deemed effective June 28, 2012, by FINRA and exploration stage activities commenced on June 29, 2012. In accordance with ASC 915 the Company will be reporting and disclosing additional information in addition to reporting and disclosure requirements otherwise prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP.)


As fully described in Note 3, on December 28, 2014, the Company deconsolidated MAB-C, a VIE due to the fact that the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAB-C’s economic performance.

As a result of the deconsolidation, the Company exited the exploration stage and became a development stage company.

Revenue Recognition
 
       Prior to the change in business, the Company recorded revenues when the following criteria were met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collection of the sales price is reasonably assured.  Delivery occurs when goods are shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer.  Revenue is deferred in all instances where the earnings process is incomplete.  The Company will recognize revenue from sales when all contingencies contained in agreements are satisfied and risk of loss is transferred to shipper or other agent of consignee. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied will be recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Revenues and costs of revenues from contracts are recognized during the period in which the service was performed.  
 
Inventory
     
Prior to deconsolidation as discussed in Note 3, of MAB-C, inventories, including stockpiles and mineralized material were carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost was comprised of production costs for mineralized material produced and processed. Production costs included the costs of materials, costs of processing, refinement, extraction, direct labor, mine site and processing facility overhead costs and site development cost, depreciation, depletion and amortization.
 
In-process Inventories - In-process inventories represent mineralized materials that were currently in the process of being converted to a certifiable lot of saleable product through the extraction and/or refinement process. The value of in-process material was measured based on assays of the material fed into the process and the projected recoveries of material.  In-process inventories were valued at the average cost of the material extracted along with all other necessary cost to feed into the process attributable to the source material coming from the mines and/or stockpiles plus the in-process conversion costs, including applicable depreciation relating to the process facilities incurred to that point in the process.

Finished Goods Inventories - Finished goods inventories included minerals that were certified in quantifiable lots that require no further processing or capital expenditure other than loading and transport related activities from to transfer title or complete the earnings cycle. These minerals were valued per lot at the average cost of their production.

Work in process inventory (Fonon Corporation) – Work in process inventory consists of inventory purchased under the SPA that was partially manufactured or not fully assembled as of the report date.  This equipment, machines, parts, frames, lasers or assemblies are items not ready for use or resale.  Costs were accumulated as work in process until sales ready items were complete when it was moved to finished goods inventory.  Amounts in this account represented  items at various stages of completion at the report date.

Finished goods inventory (Fonon Corporation) -  Finished goods inventory consists of inventory purchased under the SPA that were fully manufactured, assembled or in salable condition,  Finished good inventory  is comprised of items that are complete and ready for commercial application without further cost other that delivery and setup. Finished goods inventory includes solar and other equipment, lasers, software, machines, parts or assemblies.
 

Stockpile reserves
 
       Prior to deconsolidation as discussed in Note 3, for MAB-C, Stockpiles represented mineralized material that had been extracted from the mine and were available for further processing. Stockpiles were measured by estimating the number of tons added and removed from the stockpile. Stockpile tonnages were verified by periodic surveys. Costs were allocated to stockpiles based on relative values of material stockpiled and processed using current mining costs incurred up to the point of stockpiling the material, including applicable overhead, depreciation, and depletion relating to mining operations, and removed at each stockpile’s average cost per ton. Through December 28, 2014, MAB-Z, had approximately 4,000 tons of barite in stockpile. We believed that based on several factors that the associated extraction costs would best be reflected in the financial statements as representing no certain future net realizable value. 

MAB-Z was extracting API grade barite from the Dodge Mine site and as requested and desired by its master distributor. MAB-Z was actively in the process of trying to obtain necessary equipment to further refine the mineral to be able to attain and sell chemical grade barite. The additional process crushes and sifts the extracted barite and allows for the removal of silica. The added step involved the process of jigging which separates particles in the raw barite based on specific gravity. This additional step in the process involved a large outlay of capital to acquire additional machinery to further refine the extraction and sift out unwanted minerals.
 
Site Development Cost
 
Prior to deconsolidation as discussed in Note 3, for MAB-C, site development costs consisted of labor, surveying, mapping, engineering, other site development and licensing as well as any development costs necessary to prepare site Dodge Mine Blocks 1-6 for mining operations.
 
Extraction Cost
 
Prior to deconsolidation as discussed in Note 3, for MAB-C, extraction costs consisted of the direct expenses of mineral removal from the established site. These costs included drilling, blasting, the loading, hauling and management of stockpiles and waste by-product, mineral refinement and excavation. These direct costs were directly associated with the production of saleable material and the increase of stockpile reserves.
 
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain related intangibles for impairment periodically, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable.  When necessary, impaired assets are written down to estimated fair value based on the best information available.  Estimated fair value is generally based on either appraised value or measured by discounting estimated future cash flows.  Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate discounted future cash flows.  Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.  There were no assets that were considered to be impaired as of March 31, 2015.

Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the net loss or cash flows of the Company.
 
Asset Retirement Obligation
 
Prior to deconsolidation as discussed in Note 3, as of December 31, 2014, MAB-Z had recognized the an asset and liability for reclamation relative to the mining activities at the Dodge Mine.


The Company’s mining and exploration activities were subject to the laws and regulations of the nation of Zimbabwe in respect to governing the protection and restoration of the environment. These laws and regulations are subject to change, possibly resulting in more restrictive measures. The Company conducts its operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believes its operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures.
 
As a result of mining operations the company has recognized an Asset Retirement obligation asset and liability as prescribed by ACS 410 Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations.  Based on reasonable estimates the Company has set up a reserve to restore the local environment based on extraction activity. Each period in which mining activities occur a portion of the current extraction cost will be recorded as an asset and a liability in the current period.
 
Due to the transfer of the Company’s interest there will be no future reclamation costs  At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $0 was recognized and accrued for reclamation costs relating to asset retirement obligation guidance.

Net Revenues
 
There were no revenues from operations for the three ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.  As a result of the deconsolidation, fully described in Note 3, MAB-C was deconsolidated as a VIE due to the fact that the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAB-C’s economic performance whereby the Company exited the exploration stage and became a development stage company. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company did not recognize any revenue from discontinued operations.

Gross Profit
 
There was no gross profit from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.  There was no gross profit from discounted operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
 
Operating Expenses
 
The decrease in operating expenses for the three ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 was $44,470. The decreased expense resulted from lower professional and general administrative costs having to do with decreased expenditures as a result of lower support of the Company’s support of its investment in MAB-C as well as investor relations activities.
 
The breakdown of expenses of the Company are broken down as follows:
 
Salary Expenses
 
There were no salary and salary-related expenses from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.  There were no salary and salary-related expenses from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Professional, consulting and marketing fees 

Professional, consulting and marketing fees from continuing operations decreased $33,405 to $29,870 from $63,275 due largely in investor relations and consulting fees no being incurred.  The expenses incurred in the quarter were primarily legal and accounting fees.

Selling, General and Administrative
 
 Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) from continuing operations decreased $14,120 to $9,480 from $23,600 due largely to a reduction of travel and meals expense commensurate with loss of control over MAB-C.

Net Other Expense

There were no net other expense from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.  
 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our independent registered public accounting firm has qualified their opinion with respect to our financial statements to include an explanatory paragraph related to our ability to continue as a going concern in their report for the year ended December 31, 2014.  Reports of independent registered public accounting firms questioning a company's ability to continue as a going concern generally are viewed very unfavorably by analysts and investors.  There are a number of risks and challenges associated with such a qualified report including, but not limited to, a significant impediment to our ability to raise additional capital or seek financing from entities that will not conduct such transactions in the face of such increased level of risk of insolvency and loss, increased difficulty in attracting talent and the diversion of the attention of executive officers and other key employees to raising capital or financing rather than devoting time to the day-to-day operations of our business.  We urge potential investors to review the report of our independent registered public accounting firm included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and our condensed financial statements and related notes included in this Report, the cautionary statements included in the “Risk Factors” section under Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 this Report and to seek independent advice concerning the substantial risks related thereto before making a decision to invest in us, or to maintain an investment in us.
 
Since our inception we have realized no revenues and have financed our operations almost exclusively from cash on hand raised through the sale of our securities and borrowings.  As of March 31, 2015, we had a deficit in working capital of $1,220,642.

Effective July 26, 2012 MAB-Z entered into a one year financing short term loan agreement with OVERSEAS TRADE AND FINANCING LIMITED (“OTF”) for an amount of $40,000 with accrued interest at an original rate of 12%. The balance with interest and fees of $48,026 ($8,026 of accrued interest which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses) was due at December 31, 2013.  Under the original terms of the contract the loan was to have been fully repaid within 360 days of the effective date. Failure to pay as prescribed or duly extend the loan period will result in the accrual of late charges at a rate of 6% per annum. Extension and drawdown fees are 1% and 2% respectively. OTF is owned and controlled by a current director of MAB-Z and was recently registered with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, External Loans Co-coordinating Committee. In accordance with the newly registered loan, the interest rate will now be 8% per annum, and no default rate is in place. The lender and the Company are currently negotiating terms of a new maturity date. The lender has not informed the Company that the lender is in default of the loan.


On April 5, 2014 the Company, through its affiliate MAB-Z, received confirmation of its registration and acceptance of terms for the loan from OTF in the amount of $40,000 and 8% per annum due in 360 days.

Effective May 16, 2013 MAB-Z entered into a one year securitized financing short term agreement with CBZ Bank Limited in the amount of $420,000.  As security under this agreement Kinsey pledged two Bell HD2045 Hydraulic Excavators appraised at a combined value of $739,000.  The loan originally was to be paid in monthly installments commencing in December 2013 in the amount of $35,000 plus interest expiring on June 30, 2014 upon which time all monies were due and payable in full.  The interest rate on the loan is 15% per year. Upon funding of this loan a 3% establishment fee was charged and deducted from the proceeds.  The Company may in the future obtain funding through securitizations and other attempts to raise capital until cash flow operations are self-sustaining in the support of continuing operations.
 
This agreement was subsequently modified in January 2014 to adjust the payment schedule whereby payments of $35,000 per month plus full to date interest is due and payable commencing February 2014 and will continue each month there after including interest with the last payment due January 31, 2015.  At September 30, 2014 this loan had a balance of $140,000.

On May 2, 2014 MAB-Z entered into an open ended loan agreement with Gary Booth.  The Company received an advance of $10,000 for working capital and short-term cash requirement which carries an interest rate of 12%.  As of September 30, 2014 the balance due was $10,503 reflected in Accounts payable and accrued expenses.

On July 31, 2014 MAB-Z entered into an open ended loan agreement with Antony Kinsey and Kevin Hegarty.  The Company was advanced $20,000 for working capital and short-term cash requirements which carries an interest rate of 12%.  As of September 30, 2014 the balance due was $20,396 reflected in Accounts payable and accrued expenses.

In July 2014 advance payments were made by Graham Roberts on behalf of MAB-Z in the amount of $6,000.  This loan is currently undocumented but is expected to be formalized in Q4.  The balance due without accrued interest was $6,000 reflected in Accounts payable and accrued expenses.
 
On March 30, 2015, the Company, entered into a Share Purchase and Asset Sale Agreement (the “SPA”) among Mabwe Minerals, Fonon Technologies, Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. and Dmitriy Nikitin pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 325,241,608 shares of its common stock, to give Fonon Technologies 65% ownership of Mambwe’s' capital stock on a fully diluted basis in exchange for certain assets of Fonon Technologies valued at $10,401,030 which Fonon Technologies used in its laser material processing and consumables business.  As a result of the purchase the Company believes that they are well positioned to be successful and remove doubt as a going concern.

We had a cash balance of $0 at March 31, 2015 compared to $840 at December 31, 2014.
 
Our cash used in operating activities significantly decreased to $840 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $493,600 for the same period in 2014. The major reason for this was the result of the transfer of all liabilities to RRHI in accordance with the SPA dated March 30, 2015. All debts incurred prior to the SPA have been transferred away from the Company as of March 30, 2015.
 
 We had no cash flows from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
 
Our cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $0 compared to $459,144 for the same period in 2014, the result of related party proceeds of $459,144.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks.
 
None 
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.   Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (currently the same person), after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 on the basis that we have not been funded sufficiently for us to employ an additional person to serve as our Chief Financial Officer.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.   During the three months ended March 31, 2015, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls.   Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also 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; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
 
From time to time, we may be involved in various claims, lawsuits, and disputes with third parties, actions involving allegations of discrimination or breach of contract actions incidental to the operation of our business. However, we are not currently involved in any litigation which we believe could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
