NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2015
(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Jammin Java Corp. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been omitted. The accompanying balance sheet at July 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited balance sheet at January 31, 2015 contained in such Form 10-K.
 
As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Jammin Java” and the “Company” mean Jammin Java Corp., unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts in this Quarterly Report are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
 
Note 2. Going Concern and Liquidity
 
These financial statements have been prepared by management assuming that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company incurred a net loss of $2,165,731 for the six months ended July 31, 2015, and has an accumulated deficit of $26,209,564. The Company has a history of losses and has only recently begun to generate revenue as part of its principal operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the sale of its common stock. The Company will, in the future, need to secure additional funds through future equity sales or other fund raising activities. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.
 
The Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon its ability to sell its products directly to end-users and through distributors, establish profitable operations through increased sales and decreased expenses, and obtain additional funds when needed. Management intends to increase sales by increasing the Company’s product offerings, expanding its direct sales force and expanding its domestic and international distributor relationships.
 
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to increase sales, reduce expenses or obtain additional financing, if necessary, at a level to meet its current obligations. As a result, the opinion the Company received from its independent registered public accounting firm on its January 31, 2015 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph stating that there is a substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Note 3. Business Overview and Summary of Accounting Policies

Jammin Java, doing business as Marley Coffee, is a United States (U.S.)-based company that provides sustainably grown, ethically farmed and artisan roasted gourmet coffee through multiple U.S. and international distribution channels, using the Marley Coffee brand name. U.S. and international grocery retail channels have become the Company’s largest revenue channels, followed by online retail, office coffee services (referred to herein as OCS), food service outlets and licensing. The Company intends to continue to develop these revenue channels and achieve a leadership position in the gourmet coffee space by capitalizing on the global recognition of the Marley name through the licensing of the Marley Coffee trademarks.
 
Reclassifications. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation for comparative purposes.
 
Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Preparation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as certain financial statement disclosures. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of six months or less to be cash equivalents. As of July 31, 2015, the Company had $51,035 of cash equivalents. Additionally, no interest income was recognized for the six months ended July 31, 2015.
 
Revenue Recognition. Revenue is derived from the sale of coffee products and is recognized on a gross basis upon shipment to the customer. All revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the service or sale is completed; (iii) the price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized as the net amount estimated to be received after deducting estimated amounts for discounts, trade allowances and product terms. We record promotional and return allowances based on recent and historical trends. Promotional allowances, including customer incentive and trade promotion activities, are recorded as a reduction to sales based on amounts estimated being due to customers, based primarily on historical utilization and redemption rates.
 
The Company utilizes third parties for the production and fulfillment of orders placed by customers. The Company, acting as principal, takes title to the product and assumes the risks of ownership; namely, the risks of loss for collection, delivery and returns.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company does not require collateral from its customers with respect to accounts receivable. The Company determines any required allowance by considering a number of factors, including the terms for each customer, and the length of time accounts receivable are outstanding. Management provides an allowance for accounts receivable whenever it is evident that they become uncollectible. The Company has reserved an allowance of $98,866 for doubtful accounts at July 31, 2015. Because our accounts receivable are concentrated in a relatively few number of customers, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the collectability of our accounts receivable and our future operating results.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed using weighted average cost, which approximates actual cost, on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories on hand are evaluated on an on-going basis to determine if any items are obsolete or in excess of future needs. Items determined to be obsolete are reserved for. The Company provides for the possible inability to sell its inventories by providing an excess inventory reserve. As of July 31, 2015, the Company determined that no reserve was required.

Property and Equipment. Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Maintenance and repairs, as incurred, are charged to expense. Renewals and enhancements which extend the life or improve existing equipment are capitalized. Upon disposition or retirement of equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  For computers and leasehold improvements the useful life is 3 years and for furniture and equipment the useful life is 5 years.
 
F-5

 
Depreciation was $79,265 and $48,818 for the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets consist primarily of a license agreement that was recorded at the estimated cost to acquire the asset. The license agreement is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable (see Note 5). Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values. Management evaluated the carrying value of long-lived assets including the license and determined that no impairment existed at July 31, 2015.
  
Stock-Based Compensation. Pursuant to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718-10, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee service, management utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances.
 
Common stock issued for services to non-employees is recorded based on the value of the services or the value of the common stock, whichever is more clearly determinable. Whenever the value of the services is not determinable, the measurement date occurs generally at the date of issuance of the stock. In more limited cases, it occurs when a commitment for performance has been reached with the counterparty and nonperformance is subject to significant disincentives. If the total value of stock issued exceeds the par value, the value in excess of the par value is added to the additional paid-in-capital. We estimate volatility of our publicly-listed common stock by considering historical stock volatility.
 
Income Taxes. The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification No 740, Income Taxes. The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and on net operating loss carry forwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
Earnings or Loss Per Common Share. Basic earnings per common share equals net earnings or loss divided by the weighted average of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share includes the impact on dilution from all contingently issuable shares, including options, warrants and convertible securities. The common stock equivalents from contingent shares are determined by the treasury stock method. The Company incurred a net loss for the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, basic and diluted earnings per share for such periods are the same because all potential common equivalent shares would be anti-dilutive including 4,487,500 “in the money” outstanding options which are exercisable as of July 31, 2015.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. Accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are being evaluated by the Company to determine whether adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” as part of its simplification initiative. The ASU changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense.  The Company recorded a Note payable on its balance sheet in the first quarter of 2015 of which no issuance costs were incurred.  The Company has also entered into pending financing arrangements which have not yielded funding currently, these costs are carried as a prepaid expense on the Company’s balance sheet at July 31, 2015.  The Company recognizes interest expense timely and reduces its debt liability as remittance occurs.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies
 
On July 28, 2014, Shane Whittle, individually, a former significant shareholder and officer and director of the Company (“Whittle“) filed a complaint against the Company in the District Court, City and County of Denver, State of Colorado (Case No. 2014-CV-032991 Division: 209). The complaint alleged that Whittle entered into a consulting agreement with the Company for which the Company failed to make payments and that Rohan Marley, as both a director of the Company and of Marley Coffee Canada, Inc., additionally agreed that, as part of Whittle’s consulting compensation, the Company would assume a debt owed by Marley Coffee Canada to Whittle. The cause of action set forth in the complaint includes breach of contract. Damages claimed by Whittle included $60,000 under the consulting agreement and $19,715 related to payments assumed by the Company. Effective on March 31, 2015, the Company and Mr. Whittle entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release of Claims (the “Settlement“), pursuant to which the parties agreed to dismiss their claims associated with the District Court, City and County of Denver, State of Colorado (Case No. 2014-CV-032991 Division: 209), lawsuit described above. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Whittle $80,000 which was accrued as of January 31, 2015 (to be paid in equal payments of $10,000 per month beginning on April 1, 2015), the Company agreed to withdraw from a joinder in connection with the Federal Action pending between the parties (and certain other parties) as described below, the parties provided each other mutual releases and the parties agreed to mutually dismiss, with prejudice, their claims.

In a separate case, on September 30, 2014, Whittle individually, and derivatively on behalf of Marley Coffee LLC (“MC LLC“) filed a complaint against Rohan Marley, Cedella Marley, the Company, Hope Road Merchandising, LLC, Fifty-Six Hope Road Music Limited, and Marley Coffee Estate Limited in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (Civil Action No. 2014-CV-2680). The complaint alleges that Whittle entered into a partnership with Rohan Marley, to sell premium coffee products branded after the name and likeness of Rohan Marley. The causes of action set forth in the complaint include, among others, racketeering activity, trademark infringement, breach of fiduciary duty, civil theft, and civil conspiracy (some of which causes of action are not directly alleged against the Company), which are alleged to have directly caused Whittle and Marley Coffee LLC substantial financial harm. Damages claimed by Whittle and MC LLC include economic damages to be proven at trial, profits made by defendants, treble damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and pre and post judgment interest. Subsequently, all but the civil conspiracy claim against the Company was dismissed and the court ordered Whittle to amend his complaint to provide only for an alleged claim of breach of fiduciary duty (not against the Company) and conspiracy claims as an individual (not on a derivative basis). The outcome of this lawsuit cannot be predicted with any degree of reasonable certainty. In the event the matter is not settled, the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend itself against Whittle’s and MC LLC’s claims.

Note 12 – Subsequent Events
 
Convertible Note with JSJ Investments Inc.

On September 9, 2015, we sold a 12% Convertible Note to JSJ Investments Inc. (“JSJ” and the “JSJ Convertible Note”) in the amount of $275,000. Amounts owed under the JSJ Convertible Note accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum (18% upon an event of default). The JSJ Convertible Note is payable by us on demand by JSJ at any time after March 6, 2016. We have the right to prepay the JSJ Convertible Note (a) for an amount equal to 135% of the then balance of such note until the 180th day following the date of the note, and (b) for an amount equal to 150% of the balance of such note subsequent to the maturity date (provided the holder consents to such payment after maturity).

The JSJ Convertible Note and all accrued interest is convertible at the option of the holder thereof into the Company’s common stock at any time. The conversion price of the JSJ Convertible Note is 60% (a 40% discount) to the third lowest intra-day trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 10 trading days prior to any conversion date of the note. In the event we do not issue the holder any shares due in connection with a conversion within three business days, we are required to issue the holder additional shares equal to 25% of the conversion amount, and an additional 25% of such shares for each additional five business days beyond such fourth business day that such failure continues. In the event we do not have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock to allow for the conversion of the note, the discount rate (40%) is increased by an additional 5%.

In connection with the sale of the note, we agreed to pay $5,000 of JSJ’s legal fees.
 
The JSJ Convertible Note contains standard and customary events of default, including in the event we fail to timely file any and all reports due with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, JSJ can demand that we immediately repay 150% of the outstanding balance of the JSJ Convertible Note together with accrued interest (and default interest, if any).

Pursuant to the terms of the JSJ Convertible Note, JSJ agreed not to engage in any short sales or hedging transactions of our common stock. At no time may the JSJ Convertible Note be converted into shares of our common stock if such conversion would result in JSJ and its affiliates owning an aggregate of in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, provided such percentage may be increased by JSJ to up to increases to 9.99% upon not less than 61 days prior written notice to us.

The goal is for the Company to utilize this debt as growth capital to help accelerate projects that generate revenue.  We hope to repay the JSJ Convertible Note prior to any conversion. In the event that the JSJ Note is not repaid in cash in its entirety, Company shareholders may suffer dilution if and to the extent that the balance of the JSJ Note is converted into common stock.

Convertible Promissory Note with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC

On September 14, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 14, 2015 (the “Typenex SPA”) with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC (“Typenex”). Pursuant to the Typenex SPA, the Company issued to Typenex a convertible promissory note (the “Typenex Note”) in the principal amount of $1,005,000, deliverable in four tranches as described below.

The Typenex Note has a term of 20 months and an interest rate of 10% per annum (22% upon an event of default).  The net proceeds to the Company from the Typenex Note were $1,005,000, in the form of: (a) an initial tranche of $250,000 in cash (gross proceeds of $255,000, less $5,000 in expense reimbursements), and (b) three promissory notes of $250,000 each (collectively, the “Investor Notes”). Typenex may elect, in its sole discretion, to fund one or more of the Investor Notes. Absent such an election by Typenex, the Investor Notes will not result in cash proceeds to, or an obligation to repay on the part of, the Company. Each of the Investor Notes accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum until paid (provided that all amounts due under the Investor Notes may be offset against amounts we owe Typenex in Typenex’s sole discretion), and as such, we do not anticipate owing any interest on the Investor Notes until such notes are funded by Typenex.  Each of the Investor Notes are secured by a Membership Interest Pledge Agreement entered into by Typenex for our benefit.

 
F-11

 
Beginning on the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date and on the same day of each month thereafter until the maturity date, so long as any amount is outstanding under the Typenex Note, the Company is required to pay to Typenex installments of principal equal to $75,000 (or such lesser principal amount is then outstanding), plus the sum of any accrued and unpaid interest. Payments of each installment amount may be made in cash, subject to the terms of the note. Alternatively, Typenex or the Company may elect to convert an installment amount into Common Stock as described below.

Beginning six (6) months after the Closing Date, Typenex may convert the balance of the Typenex Note, or any installment or portion thereof, utilizing the conversion price calculation set forth below. Generally, the conversion price will be $0.30 per share; however, in the event the Company’s market capitalization falls below $3 million, then the conversion price is the lower of (a) $0.30 per share, and (b) the Market Price. The “Market Price” is calculated by applying a discount of 40% (provided that under certain events the discount may be reduced to up to 60%, upon the occurrence of certain events (with a reduction of 5% per event) such as the value of common stock (as calculated in the note) declining below $0.10 per share; the Company not being DWAC eligible; the Company’s common stock not being DTC eligible; or the occurrence of any major default (as described in the note)), to the average of the three (3) lowest intra-day trading prices of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion. The Company may also elect to make payment of installments in the form of equity on substantially the same terms, subject to the terms and conditions of the Typenex Note, and Typenex’s right in certain cases to require a certain portion of such payment to be paid in cash or stock. Additionally, 20 days after shares issued upon redemption of the note are eligible to be freely traded by Typenex (as described in the note), there is a required true up, whereby Typenex is required to be issued additional shares in the event the trading price of the Company’s common stock has declined from the time of original issuance to the date such shares are ‘free trading’ as described in the Typenex Note.

The Company has the right to prepay the Typenex Note under certain circumstances, subject to payment of a 35% prepayment penalty during the first six months the note is outstanding and 50% thereafter.

If, at any time that the Typenex Note is outstanding, the Company sells or issues any common stock or other securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Common Stock for a price per share that is less than the conversion price applicable under the Typenex Note, then such lower price will apply to all subsequent conversions by Typenex for a period of 20 trading days.

The Typenex Note includes customary and usual events of default. In the event of a default, the Typenex Note may be accelerated by Typenex. The outstanding balance would be immediately due and payable we are required to repay Typenex additional amounts (including the value of the amount then due in common stock, at the highest intraday trading price of the amount then due under the note) and/or liquidated damages in addition to the amount owed under the Typenex Note. In addition, we owe certain fees and liquidated damages to Typenex if we fail to timely issue shares of common stock under the Typenex Note.
 
Typenex is prohibited from owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares Pursuant to the Typenex Note, unless the market capitalization of the Company’s common stock is less than $10,000,000, in which case Typenex is prohibited from owning more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares.
 
 
F-12

 
Amounts owed by us under the Typenex Note is secured by a first priority security interest granted to Typenex pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement entered into with Typenex, in each of the Investor Notes.
 
The goal is for the Company to utilize this debt as growth capital to help accelerate projects that generate revenue.  We hope to repay the Typenex Convertible Note prior to any conversion. In the event that the Typenex Note is not repaid in cash in its entirety, Company shareholders may suffer dilution if and to the extent that the balance of the Typenex Note is converted into common stock.

Convertible Promissory Note with JMJ Financial
 
On September 16, 2015, we sold JMJ Financial (“JMJ”) a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of up to $900,000 (the “JMJ Convertible Note”). The initial amount received in connection with the sale of the JMJ Convertible Note was $350,000, and a total of $385,000 is currently due under the JMJ Convertible Note (not including the interest charge described below), as all amounts borrowed under the note include a 10% original issue discount. Moving forward, JMJ may loan us additional funds (up to $900,000 in aggregate) at our request, provided that JMJ has the right in its sole discretion to approve any future request for additional funding. Each advance under the JMJ Convertible Note is due two years from the date of such advance, with the amount initially funded under the note due on September 16, 2017.
 
The JMJ Convertible Note (including principal and accrued interest and where applicable other fees) is convertible into our common stock, at any time, at the lesser of $0.75 per share or 65% (a 35% discount) of the two lowest closing prices of our common stock in the 20 trading days prior to the date of any conversion, provided that if we are not DWAC eligible at the time of any conversion an additional 10% discount applies, and in the event our common stock is not DTC eligible at the time of any conversion, an additional 5% discount applies. The JMJ Convertible Note provides that unless we and JMJ agree in writing, JMJ is not eligible to convert any amount of the note into common stock which would result in JMJ owning more than 4.99% of our common stock.
 
A one-time interest charge of 12% was applied to the principal amount of the note, which remains payable regardless of the repayment (or conversion) date of the note.
 
Until 180 days after the date of the note, we are able to prepay the note assuming we prepay all outstanding principal together with a penalty of 40% of such amount, interest, fees, liquidated damages (if any), and the original issuance discount due thereon; and after 160 days, we are not able to prepay the note without JMJ’s written approval.
 
We agreed that we would reserve 25 million shares of common stock for conversion of the note. In the event we fail to deliver shares within four days of the date of any conversion by JMJ, we are required to pay JMJ $2,000 per day in penalties.
 
The JMJ Convertible Note provides for customary events of default including, our failure to timely make payments under the JMJ Convertible Note when due, our entry into bankruptcy proceedings, our failure to file reports with the SEC, our loss of DTC eligibility for our common stock, and the investor’s loss of the ability to rely on Rule 144. Additionally, upon the occurrence of an event of default, as described in greater detail in the JMJ Convertible Note, and at the election of JMJ, we are required to pay JMJ, either (i) the amount then owed under the note divided by the applicable conversion price, on the date the default occurs or the default amount is demanded (whichever is lower), multiplied by the volume weighted average price on the date the default occurs or the default amount is demanded (whichever is higher), or (ii) 150% of the principal amount of the note, plus all of the unpaid interest, fees, liquidated damages (if any) and other amounts due. Any amount not paid when due accrues interest at the rate of 18% per annum until paid in full. JMJ is not required to provide us any written notice in order to accelerate the amounts owed under the JMJ Convertible Note in the event of the occurrence of an event of default.
 
For so long as the JMJ Convertible Note is outstanding JMJ agreed not to effect any “short sales” of our common stock.
 
The goal is for the Company to utilize this debt as growth capital to help accelerate projects that generate revenue.  We hope to repay the JMJ Convertible Note prior to any conversion. In the event that the JMJ Note is not repaid in cash in its entirety, Company shareholders may suffer dilution if and to the extent that the balance of the JMJ Note is converted into common stock.

Overview
 
We provide premium roasted coffee and specialty coffee on a wholesale level to the service, hospitality, office coffee service and big box store markets, as well as to a variety of other business channels. Specifically, we currently provide award winning sustainably grown, ethically-farmed and artisan roasted gourmet coffee through multiple United States and international distribution channels. We intend to develop a significant share of these markets and achieve a leadership position by capitalizing on the global recognition of the “Marley” brand name. We hope to capitalize on the guidance and leadership of our Chairman, Rohan Marley, and to increase our sales through the marketing of products using the likeness of, and reflecting the personality of, Mr. Marley. Additionally, through a licensing agreement with the family of the late reggae performer, Robert Nesta Marley, professionally known as Bob Marley (which family members include Rohan Marley, our Chairman and the son of Bob Marley)(as described below), we are provided the worldwide right to use the name “Marley Coffee” and reasonably similar variations thereof.

We believe the key to our growth is a multichannel distribution and sales strategy. Since August 2011, we have been introducing a wide variety of coffee products through multiple distribution channels using the Marley Coffee brand name. The main channels of revenue for the Company are now and are expected to continue to be domestic retail in both grocery and away from home (for example, consumption at the office and on the go), international distribution, and online retail.
 
In order to market our products in these channels, we have developed a variety of coffee products in varying formats. The Company offers an entire line of coffee in whole bean and ground form with varying sizes including 2.5 ounce (oz), 8oz, 12oz and 2 pound (lbs) sizes. The Company also offers a “single serve” solution with its compostable Single-Serve Pods for Bunn® and other pod-based home and office brewers. The Company recently launched its Marley Coffee RealCup; compatible cartridges, for use in most models of Keurig®’s K-Cup brewing system.

License Agreement with Fifty-Six Hope Road

On September 13, 2012, the Company entered into a fifteen (15) year license agreement (renewable for two additional fifteen (15) year terms thereafter in the option of the Company) with an effective date of August 7, 2012 with Fifty-Six Hope Road Music Limited, a Bahamas international business company (“Fifty-Six Hope Road” and the “FSHR License Agreement”). Rohan Marley, our Chairman, owns an interest in Fifty-Six Hope Road. Pursuant to the FSHR License Agreement, Fifty-Six Hope Road granted the Company a worldwide, exclusive, non-transferable license to utilize the “Marley Coffee” trademarks (the “Trademarks”) in connection with (i) the manufacturing, advertising, promotion, sale, offering for sale and distribution of coffee in all its forms and derivations, regardless of portions, sizes or packaging (the “Exclusive Licensed Products”) and (ii) coffee roasting services, coffee production services, and coffee sales, supply, distribution and support services, provided that the Company may not open retail coffee houses utilizing the Trademarks. Fifty-Six Hope Road owns and controls the intellectual property rights in and to the late reggae performer, Robert Nesta Marley, professionally known as Bob Marley, including the Trademarks. In addition, Fifty-Six Hope Road granted the Company the right to use the Trademarks on advertising and promotional materials that pertain solely to the sale of coffee cups, coffee mugs, coffee glasses, saucers, milk steamers, machines for brewing coffee, espresso and/or cappuccino, grinders, water treatment products, tea products, chocolate products, and ready-to-use (instant) coffee products (the “Non-Exclusive Licensed Products”, and together with the Exclusive Licensed Products, the “Licensed Products”). Licensed Products may be sold by the Company pursuant to the FSHR License Agreement through all channels of distribution, provided that, subject to certain exceptions, the Company cannot sell the Licensed Products by direct marketing methods (other than the Company’s website), including television, infomercials or direct mail without the prior written consent of Fifty-Six Hope Road. Additionally, FSHR has the right to approve all Licensed Products, all advertisements in connection therewith and all product designs and packaging. The agreement also provides that FSHR shall own all rights to any domain names (including marleycoffee.com), incorporating the Trademarks.
 
In consideration for the foregoing licenses, the Company agreed to pay royalties to Fifty-Six Hope Road in an amount equal to 3% of the net sales of all Licensed Products on a quarterly basis. In addition, such royalty payments are to be deferred during the first 20 months of the term of the FSHR License Agreement, and such deferred payments shall be paid on a quarterly-basis thereafter until paid in full. For the three months ended July 31, 2015, $72,171, and for the six months ended  July 31, 2015, $131,284, in royalties due to Fifty-Six Hope Road were incurred on sales. From inception to July 31, 2015, the Company has incurred royalties of $586,650 to Fifty-Six Hope Road.

Mother Parkers License Agreement

On May 20, 2014, we entered into an Amended and Restated License Agreement with Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee Inc. (“Mother Parkers” and the “MP Agreement”), which amended and restated a prior license agreement entered into between the parties in October 2011. A significant portion of the Company’s revenue comes from sales to and through Mother Parkers. As described in greater detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on April 30, 2014, the Company also entered into a Subscription Agreement with Mother Parkers in April 2014, pursuant to which Mother Parkers purchased 7,333,529 units from the Company for $2.5 million, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock; and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $0.51135 per share for a term of three years.

Pursuant to our relationship with Mother Parkers, Mother Parkers produces Marley Coffee RealCups for us. For direct sales of RealCups (e.g., in jurisdictions in which Mother Parkers does not have exclusive rights as described below) we purchase the RealCups from Mother Parkers and handle all aspects of selling, merchandising and marketing products to retailers. Pursuant to the MP Agreement, the Company granted Mother Parkers the exclusive right to manufacture, process, package, label, distribute and sell single serve hard capsules (which excludes single serve soft pods) (the “Product”) on behalf of the Company in Canada, the United States of America and Mexico. The rights granted under the MP Agreement are subject to certain terms and conditions of our license agreement with Fifty-Six Hope Road. Pursuant to the MP Agreement, Mother Parkers is required to, among other things, supply all ingredients and materials, labor, manufacturing equipment and other resources necessary to manufacture and package the Product, develop coffee blends set forth in specifications provided by the Company from time to time, procure coffee beans in the open market (or from the Company’s designee) at favorable prices, set prices for the Product in a manner that is competitive in the market place and deliver Product logo/brand designs to the Company for approval prior to manufacturing any such Product. We are required to, among other things, cross-promote the Product, use Product images and marketing materials provided by Mother Parkers to promote the Product, and provide the services of Rohan Marley (our Chairman) at a minimum of five locations per year at the Company’s sole cost and expense. There are no minimum volume or delivery requirements under the MP Agreement. Pursuant to the MP Agreement, Mother Parkers agreed to pay us a fee of $0.06 per capsule for Talkin’ Blues products and $0.04 per capsule for all other Product sold by Mother Parkers under the terms of the agreement, which payments are due in monthly installments. The MP Agreement has a term of five years, provided that it automatically renews thereafter for additional one year periods if not terminated by the parties, provided further that we are not able to terminate the agreement within the first 12 months of the term of the agreement and if we terminate the agreement or take any action that lessens or diminishes Mother Parkers’ exclusive rights under the agreement during months 12 through 36 of the agreement, we are required to pay Mother Parkers a fee of $600,000 and reimburse Mother Parkers for any out of pocket costs incurred by Mother Parkers for inventory and other materials that are unsalable or unusable after such termination. We also receive revenues through the sale by Mother Parkers of our roast coffee in Canada, whereby we receive a portion of the gross revenues of such sales.

Sales and Distribution Agreements and Understandings
 
The Company has entered into informal sales arrangements, not documented by definitive agreements, with several coffee distributors, beverage services and retailers around the world.
 
In Canada, the Company has distribution channels directly to certain retailers such as London Drugs and Best Buy. Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee Inc. is the Company’s distributor for the food service segment, which sells to restaurant chains like Original Joe’s and Elephant and Castle. Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee also brings the Company’s products into retailers such as Loblaw’s, Sobey’s, ID Foods, COOP and Metro.

In the United States, for the commercial break room segment, the Company uses its national sales representatives, National Coffee Service & Vending (NCS&V), to distribute to various retailers and distributors.

In addition to distributions through NCS&V, the Company conducts sales directly to retailers as well as to distributors. In order to get in front of retail and distributor accounts, we rely on the experience and relationships of our staff to acquire both groups. Our marketing efforts are comprised of in store promotions, in store demos, external marketing programs, public relations, social media, tradeshows and general advertising.

Within the U.S. grocery and specialty retail segment, the Company utilizes two national brokerage companies to represent, market and merchandise its products. The Company works with Alliance Sales & Marketing, a private food broker based in Charlotte, North Carolina, to increase its new market penetration nationally in the grocery and natural foods retail sector.
 
Within the U.S. grocery and specialty retail segment, the Company’s products are distributed through several distributors such as UNFI, Kehe, C&S and DPI and we also distribute directly to certain retailers.

The Company has strengthened its online presence by selling through a multitude of online retailers such as Amazon.com, Cooking.com, coffeeicon.com, ecscoffee.com, officedepot.com and coffeewiz.com.

Products, Plan of Operations and Business Growth

In fiscal 2015, we established a national grocery distribution network, increased our brand awareness and strengthened our international presence. We believe fiscal 2016 is the breakout year for the Company and we forecast to be EBITDA positive by the end of the year, based on our projected sales volumes. We anticipate the first two quarters of fiscal 2016 we will have negative EBITDA (we had negative EBITDA of approximately $2.1 million for the six months ended July 31, 2015), but hope to be EBITDA positive in the third and fourth quarters, and show positive EBITDA in our audited results of operations for the year ended January 31, 2016.
 
We prepared and organized the operations of the Company to scale to $40 million in revenue without materially increasing our staffing needs from where they are currently by fiscal 2017.

The Company is organized around our three pillars of growth, which are domestic grocery, international and ecommerce.
 
Domestic Grocery

Domestic grocery is the core focus of the Company with the strategy of continuing to expand into key markets and gaining new accounts and building on the base of accounts we have already. Within the U.S. grocery and specialty retail segment, the Company’s products are distributed through several distributors such as UNFI, Kehe, C&S and DPI and we also distribute directly to certain customers. We sell to retailers such as Safeway (Randalls), Krogers, HEB, Wegmans, Target, Jewel-Osco, Market Basket, Whole Foods, Winn Dixie Bi-Lo, Ahold, Hannafords, Albertsons, Shaw’s and Fairways, and Fresh and Easy. During the past year we have expanded our distributor relationships nationally in the United States. We expect our ongoing discussions with retailers will enable us to place our products in more chains throughout the year and we continue to seek to expand our product placement with grocery retailers and distributors throughout the United States and internationally.

Over the course of the last year, we gained distribution in over 7,200 stores in the United States distributing approximately 5.2 different types of products per store and have authorization in approximately 10,000 stores. Throughout fiscal 2016, while we will still look to gain additional distribution, we are not pursuing it at the same pace we did during the past 18 months. Our objective for our existing distribution is to increase our turn rate (velocity), and build brand awareness to drive further growth.

Our primary driver to enhance our brand and increase our turn rate on shelves will be the launch of our Recyclable RealCup™. Around approximately July of fiscal 2016, we plan to launch a new version of the Marley Coffee RealCup™ capsule that will be compatible with the Keurig Green Mountain K2.0. The recyclable RealCup™ will utilize a recyclable capsule that is accepted by many curbside recycling programs. The technology and intellectual property is owned by Mother Parkers, however we plan to be the first and primary super premium product to launch in market amongst Mother Parkers portfolio of brands.
 
Based on our current distribution of approximately 7,200 shelves in the U.S. and an average of three SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) of RealCups™ per store, if we can get an additional customer to purchase one SKU per store, per week, within our existing distribution, we believe we can generate approximately ~$6.7 million in additional revenue for the 2016 fiscal year. Our next objective is to get all nine Recyclable RealCup™ Marley Coffee SKUs within our current distribution. SKUs or Stock Keeping Units are a store’s or catalog’s product and service identification code, often portrayed as a machine-readable bar code that helps items be tracked for inventory.

We believe that our recyclable RealCup™ capsule will be one of the most innovative and sustainable single serve products to hit the market in calendar 2015. Keurig Green Mountain (formerly Green Mountain Coffee Roasters), the largest company in the single serve space in North America has expressed their belief that there should be a recyclable solution for K-Cups, however they have only set a 2020 target for their commitment to making 100% of their K-Cup packs recyclable.
 
International

Our international business is one of the key components of our revenues. For our international accounts, we rely on first in class operators to take our brand to market and handle all of the distribution and marketing for the products. We provide brand support to our international accounts. We currently have key distribution in several countries, which include Canada, the United Kingdom, South Korea and Chile. These countries primarily sell to the food service industry, which includes hotels, restaurants and cafes. From their success in food service, they have expanded distribution into retail distribution. Mother Parkers takes our products to market in Canada through both a licensing agreement and buy-sell relationship. Our distributors in South Korea and Chile buy coffee from us here in the U.S. at wholesale prices and then resell the coffee to their customers. Our U.K. distributor roasts and packs Company approved coffee and resells it to customers throughout Europe. In the second half of fiscal 2016, we plan on launching a Nespresso© compatible capsule for markets throughout the world.

The Company also does business with coffee machine manufacturers such as Hamilton Beach and Remington Coffee by selling them various products such as 8 ounce bags of coffee, fractional packs or RealCup units as samples that come inside boxes of coffee which are sold as packages to end buyers. This provides greater exposure for the Company.

The International Coffee Organization recently reported that it expects global coffee demand to rise 25% by 2021. We believe that we are in a strong position to capitalize on that growth and our goal is to continue finding top-tier operators like the ones we have in place in Canada, South Korea, Chile and the United Kingdom.

Online

During the fourth quarter of calendar 2014, we launched an innovative Coffee of the Month subscription service as well an online retail platform at https://shop.marleycoffee.com/. We anticipate this to be a key revenue driver in the upcoming year. The Company also sells to other online operators such as Amazon.com, Cooking.com, coffeeicon.com, ecscoffee.com, officedepot.com and coffeewiz.com.

Commitment to Reduce Cash Compensation

Throughout fiscal 2015, the Company issued shares of common stock in consideration for services rendered to its officers, directors and employees in an effort to maximize its cash on hand and improve liquidity. In fiscal 2016, the Company plans to pay the salaries of its officers and employees in cash, provided that where possible, the Company intends to continue to use common stock in lieu of cash consideration, and has continued to pay certain of its employees in stock instead of cash during fiscal 2016. As the Company continues to grow it will need to raise additional cash in order to maintain its growth and fund its operations. If the Company is unable to access additional capital moving forward, it will hurt our ability to maintain growth and possibly jeopardize our ability to maintain our current operations. We may not be able to increase sales, reduce expenses or obtain additional financing, if necessary, at a level to meet our current obligations to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company is focused on growing revenue while working to lower cost of sales and operating expenses, with the ultimate goal of generating net income.

Recent Transactions:

On July 9, 2015, with an effective date of July 1, 2015, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Black Rock Beverages, LLC (“BRB”), pursuant to which we sold our Black Rock Beverage division and related assets to BRB (the “Sale Agreement”). Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, BRB agreed to pay us $300,000, with $200,000 payable on the closing date of the transaction (July 15, 2015), and $100,000 payable in 24 equal monthly installments, provided that if BRB’s average sales do not meet a minimum of $50,000 per month during each of the first six months following the closing, the aggregate amount of $100,000 in payments due is reduced by $5,000 for each month such $50,000 monthly minimum is not met. Additionally, we agreed to continue to pay the salary of one of our employees acquired in our original acquisition of the Black Rock Beverage division in August 2013 for three months and to continue to cover the rent, for five months, on a warehouse located on Lipan St. in Denver, Colorado, and BRB agreed to assume all of our capital and vehicle leases. We also agreed to a six month freeze on increasing any cost of goods purchased by BRB for products sold through the Black Rock Beverage operations. The Sale Agreement contains standard and customary indemnification and confidentiality covenants and representations of the Company.
 
On July 28, 2015, we entered into a Supply and Distribution Agreement with C&V International Co., Ltd. (“C&V”), pursuant to which we agreed to supply C&V coffee and Marley Coffee branded products for distribution by C&V, as our exclusive distributor, in South Korea (a) through the food service, online, grocery retail and convenience business channels; and (b) to Marley Coffee branded Cafes operating in South Korea (which cafes are owned and operated by third parties and with which we have no affiliation, other than in connection with the supply of coffee and Marley Coffee branded products being sold at such cafes). There are six current Marley Coffee branded cafes open in South Korea, with the goal of expanding that number to thirty within the next three years. C&V was also granted a right of first refusal (subject to certain terms and conditions described in the agreement), for a period of two years from our entry into the agreement (subject to the requirement to negotiate in good faith to extend such right of first refusal period prior to the expiration thereof), to become our exclusive distributor in each country in Asia that we may choose to distribute products to in the future.

The agreement has a term through September 1, 2024, automatically renewable for additional one year terms thereafter on each of the five anniversaries of the end of the initial term, unless either party gives the other at least 90 days’ notice of their intention not to renew. The agreement may also be terminated by either party upon the breach of any material term of the agreement by the other party, provided the breaching party is given fifteen business days to cure any breach, and such breach is not timely cured.

C&V agreed to pay us certain pre-agreed to prices for the products sold and we agreed to sell such products to C&V at competitive price levels. We are also required to meet certain minimum quantity and quality requirements in connection with the supply of coffee and products under the agreement and C&V is required to purchase all coffee and products from us, subject to certain rights to acquire third party coffee, only to the extent that we fail to meet certain quantity and quality requirements set forth in the agreement and further fail to timely cure such failures.

The agreement contains usual and customary representations, covenants, indemnification rights, limits on liability and confidentiality requirements.

Net revenue. Net revenue for the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 was $5,449,448 and $4,199,523 respectively, which represents an increase of $1,249,925 or 30% from the previous period.

Total cost of sales. Total cost of sales for the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 was $3,843,861 and $3,251,619 respectively, which represents an increase of $592,242 or 18% from the previous period. The increase in total cost of sales was mainly the result of the increased sales.

Gross Profit. Gross Profit was $1,605,587 and $947,904, respectively, for the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, which represents an increase of $657,683 or 69%. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 29.5% and 22.6% for the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Gross profit increased as a result of better managing our costs.

Compensation and benefits expenses. Compensation and benefits expenses was $1,750,767 and $2,179,234, respectively, for the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, which represents a decrease of $428,467 or 20%. Compensation and benefits expenses decreased as a result of decreased staff and more efficient operations.

Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 were $1,122,268 and $1,710,238, respectively, which represents a decrease of $587,970 or 34% from the previous period. Selling and marketing expenses decreased as a result of decreased advertising campaigns in new markets in the current period. We anticipate experiencing marketing expenses relative to our cash flow availabilities throughout fiscal 2016 as we will seek to expand our customer base even more and build out the Company brand.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 were $856,173 and $1,540,646, respectively, which represents a decrease of $684,473 or 44% from the previous period. General and administrative expenses decreased this period as a result of the stepped up expansion in the previous period and the need to support that expansion mostly through professional fees, office supplies and equipment.

Total operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 were $3,729,208 and $5,430,118, respectively, which represents a decrease of $1,700,912 or 31% from the previous period. Total operating expenses decreased as a result of the decreases in compensation and benefits, selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses described above.

Other income (expense). Other expense for the six months ended July 31, 2015 was $32,537 and other income for the six months ended July 31, 2014 was $4,202.  Other expense increased due to the sale of our business division as mentioned in footnote 10 to the unaudited financial statements included herein.
 
Loss on extinguishment of debt.  Loss on extinguishment of debt was $0 and $450,141 for the six months ending July 31, 2015 and 2014, and decreased as a result of the conclusion of the Ironridge financing agreement which concluded in September of 2014.

Interest income (expense). Interest expense for the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 was $9,573 and $122, respectively, which represents an increase of $9,451 from the previous period. Interest expense increased as a result of our short term financing and capital lease agreements incurred in the quarter, as described in greater detail in footnote 6 to the financial statements included herein.

Net Loss. Net Loss was $2,165,731 and $4,928,275, respectively, for the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, which represents a decrease of $2,762,544 or 56%. Net Loss decreased as a result of the reasons described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the issuance of our common stock.
 
The following table presents details of our working capital and cash and cash equivalents:

January 31, 2015
   
Increase / (Decrease)
 
Working Capital
  $ (2,394,258 )   $ (1,233,415 )   $ (1,160,843 )
Cash
  $ 51,035     $ 443,189     $ (392,154 )
 
At July 31, 2015, we had total assets of $2,383,995 and total liabilities of $3,852,182. Our current sources of liquidity include our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash from operations. For the six months ended July 31, 2015, we generated gross sales of $5,929,206 and we had a net loss of $2,165,731.
 
Total current assets of $1,457,924 as of July 31, 2015 included cash of $51,035, accounts receivable of $1,354,598, inventory of $2,670, other current assets of $3,000 and $46,621 of prepaid expenses.
 
We had total assets as of July 31, 2015 of $2,383,995 which included the total current assets of $1,457,924, $285,457 of property and equipment, net, $622,648 of intangible assets and $17,966 of other assets.
 
We had total liabilities of $3,852,182 as of July 31, 2015, which were solely current liabilities and included $3,403,140, of accounts payable, including $191,374 of royalties payable to Fifty-Six Hope Road, a related party, for the last three fiscal quarters ($72,171 in accrued royalties and $119,203 in accounts payable), relating to amounts due for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2016 in connection with the FSHR License Agreement, $2,054,926 owed to our roaster Mother Parkers, $10,439 owed to Marley Coffee Ltd. (which is 25% owned by our Chairman and largest stockholder, Rohan Marley) for green coffee purchases, and $809 owed to the House of Marley, a related party due to its affiliation with Fifty-Six Hope Road.  The liabilities also included $153,310 of accrued expenses, and $223,561 of notes payable in connection with short term financing agreement.

As of the filing of this report, we believe that our cash position, funds we may raise through future offerings, and the revenues we generate will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for approximately the next twenty-four months based on the pace of our planned activities projecting a 50% increase in accounts receivable.
 
In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014 and first three fiscal quarters of 2015, we established an annual promotional calendar for our retailers and distributors. Promotions range from discounts at the store level to in-store tastings. To date, promotions and trial programs, especially at some of our larger accounts such as Kroger, Safeway (Randalls) and HEB, are increasing product velocity. Additionally we are constantly evaluating cost effective tools to generate brand awareness and trials outside of the retail environment. We plan to continue driving these efforts with the goal of seeing revenues from organic growth increase quarter-to-quarter throughout the remainder of fiscal 2016.  We are also committed to giving back and we, in conjunction with Mother Parkers, has agreed to donate $0.01 to Water Wise for every Marley Coffee RealCup capsule sold until early 2017.  Water Wise, which Rohan Marley serves as the lead ambassador of, seeks to improve the living conditions and water filtration systems for those living in the Sidamo area of Ethiopia, a coffee growing region from which we source a portion of our coffee beans. In total, the Company has donated approximately $140,000 to date to this project.
 
We are excited about our other business lines as well. Our away from home business has been growing, especially in the Denver, Colorado area. Its growth helps feed our grocery retail business at a minor cost. Our international growth is picking up pace as well. Europe is growing, as has our commitment to foster the region. Both Chile and South Korea still remain some of the most exciting markets for us as our distributors and partners in that region have done a phenomenal job marketing and growing the brand.
 
The overwhelming majority of our sales are outside of the distribution of Jamaican Blue Mountain (JBM) beans and products. Nonetheless, one of our main concerns for fiscal 2016 is a shortage in JBM. Hurricane Sandy and coffee leaf rust impacted the production output of JBM for 2014 and 2015. Jamaica and the industry expect a slow recovery in output. This tightening of supplies caused JBM prices to increase by about 40% in 2014/2015. We are committed to ensuring our supply chain and providing our customers JBM. We are diligently working to secure more JBM as the market we created for it continues to expand. There still is a high demand for JBM in North America, but limited supply and rising costs may hurt sales. We are currently working to address the supply issues and while we believe we will be in a far better position throughout fiscal 2016 with respect to JBM availability, if we are unable to purchase a sufficient quantity of high-quality coffee beans, we may not be able to fulfill demand for our coffee, our revenue may decrease and our ability to expand our business may be negatively impacted.

The goal for the end of fiscal 2016 is to become EBITDA positive while increasing revenues. We will remain flexible in the implementation of our business strategy and will revise downward our funding requirements and further reduce our selling and marketing and our general and administrative expenses to a level that is in line with our financial means but consistent with our vision.

Our ability to meet our obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon our ability to sell our products directly to end users and through distributors, establish profitable operations through increased sales and decreased expenses and obtain additional funds when needed, similar to our sale of the various convertible notes described below.

Although our sales and revenues have increased significantly on an annual basis, the Company incurred a net loss of $10,280,985 and $6,704,030 for the years ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively and had an accumulated deficit of $24,043,833 at January 31, 2015, compared to a net loss of $2,165,731 and $4,928,275 for the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $26,209,564, as of July 31, 2015. In addition, the Company has a history of losses and has not generated net income from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the sale of common stock and debt financing. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon its ability to sell its products directly to end-users and through distributors, establish profitable operations through increased sales and decreased expenses, and obtain additional funds when needed. We may not be able to increase sales or reduce expenses to a level necessary to meet our current obligations or continue as a going concern. As a result, the opinion the Company received from its independent registered public accounting firm on its January 31, 2015 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we become unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets, and may realize significantly less than the values at which they are carried on our financial statements, and stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in our common stock. The accompanying financial statements do not contain any adjustments for this uncertainty.
 
In addition to the above, the Company’s largest supplier, Mother Parkers, previously agreed to extend the Company’s required terms of payment from thirty days to one hundred and twenty days from the date product is received, which provided the Company approximately $1.8 million of short term capital, however like with all distributors and manufacturers, if we extend past the 120 days or fail to pay such amounts, it could have a material adverse affect on our cash flow and operations.

 Investing Activities
 
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, was solely due to the purchase and sale of property and equipment.

Financing Activities
 
Compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2014, net cash provided by financing activities decreased by approximately $2,271,474 for the six months ended July 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to the $2,500,000 of common shares sold to Mother Parkers for cash in the prior period (as described below), offset by $223,561 of financing on short term debt during the current period.
 
From time to time, we may attempt to raise capital through either equity or debt offerings. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, among other things, the rate at which our business grows, with corresponding demands for working capital and expansion capacity. We could be required, or may elect, to seek additional funding through public or private equity, debt financing or bank financing.
 
 Funding and Financing Agreements

Mother Parker’s Investment
 
On April 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee Inc. (“Mother Parkers” and the “Subscription”). Pursuant to the Subscription, Mother Parkers purchased 7,333,529 units from the Company, each consisting of (a) one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”); and (b) one (1) warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants” and collectively with the Shares, the “Units”) at a price per Unit equal to the fifty day weighted-average price per share of the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB market, for the fifty trading days ending March 7, 2014 (the date the parties first discussed the transactions contemplated by the Subscription), which was $0.3409 (the “Per Unit Price”). The total purchase price paid for the Units was $2,500,000.

Pursuant to the Subscription, we provided Mother Parkers a right of first refusal for a period of two (2) years following the Subscription, to purchase up to 10% of any securities (common stock, options or warrants exercisable for common stock) we propose to offer and sell in a public or private equity offering (the “ROFO Securities”), exercisable for 48 hours from the time we provide Mother Parkers notice of such proposed sale of ROFO Securities (subject where applicable to Mother Parkers meeting any prerequisites to participation in the offering). The right of first refusal does not apply to the issuance of (a) shares of common stock or options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company in consideration for services, (b) securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the date of the Subscription, (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by the directors of the Company, provided that any such issuance shall provide the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital, and (d) any debt securities (other than any debt securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of common stock). The right of first refusal is not assignable and expires upon the first to occur of two (2) years following the date of the Subscription and the date Mother Parkers enters into or takes certain bankruptcy related actions.
 
The Warrants have an exercise price equal to 150% of the Per Unit Price ($0.51135 per share), a term of three years and prohibit Mother Parkers from exercising such Warrants to the extent such exercise would result in the beneficial ownership of more than 9.99% of the Company’s common stock, subject to Mother Parkers’ right to waive such limitation with 61 days prior written notice.

Line of Credit

The Company entered into an unsecured Revolving Line of Credit Agreement with Colorado Medical Finance Services, LLC, dba Gold Gross Capital LLC on June 9, 2015, with an effective date of February 16, 2015. The line of credit allows the Company the right to borrow up to $500,000 from the lender from time to time. On March 26, 2015, the lender advanced $250,000 to us under the terms of the line of credit. Amounts owed under the line of credit are to be memorialized by revolving credit notes in the form attached to the line of credit, provided that no formal note has been entered into to advance amounts borrowed to date. Amounts borrowed under the line of credit accrue interest at the rate of 17.5% per annum and can be repaid at any time without penalty. A total of 10% of the interest rate is payable in cash and the other 7.5% of the interest rate is payable in cash, or at the option of the lender and with our consent, or by a reduction in amounts owed to us by the lender in connection with the sale of coffee or other promotional activities. The line of credit expires, and all amounts are due under the line of credit on September 26, 2016. The line of credit contains customary events of default, and upon the occurrence of an event of default the lender can suspend further advances and require the Company to declare the entire amount then owed immediately due, subject to a 10 day period pursuant to which we have the right to cure any default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default the amounts owed under the line of credit bear interest at the rate of 20% per annum. Proceeds from the line of credit can be solely used for working capital purposes. The lender has no relationship with the Company or its affiliates. As of July 31, 2015, the Company had borrowed a total of $250,000 under the Line of Credit.

Convertible Note with JSJ Investments Inc.

On September 9, 2015, we sold a 12% Convertible Note to JSJ Investments Inc. (“JSJ” and the “JSJ Convertible Note”) in the amount of $275,000. Amounts owed under the JSJ Convertible Note accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum (18% upon an event of default). The JSJ Convertible Note is payable by us on demand by JSJ at any time after March 6, 2016. We have the right to prepay the JSJ Convertible Note (a) for an amount equal to 135% of the then balance of such note until the 180th day following the date of the note, and (b) for an amount equal to 150% of the balance of such note subsequent to the maturity date (provided the holder consents to such payment after maturity).

The JSJ Convertible Note and all accrued interest is convertible at the option of the holder thereof into the Company’s common stock at any time. The conversion price of the JSJ Convertible Note is 60% (a 40% discount) to the third lowest intra-day trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 10 trading days prior to any conversion date of the note. In the event we do not issue the holder any shares due in connection with a conversion within three business days, we are required to issue the holder additional shares equal to 25% of the conversion amount, and an additional 25% of such shares for each additional five business days beyond such fourth business day that such failure continues. In the event we do not have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock to allow for the conversion of the note, the discount rate (40%) is increased by an additional 5%.

In connection with the sale of the note, we agreed to pay $5,000 of JSJ’s legal fees.
 
The JSJ Convertible Note contains standard and customary events of default, including in the event we fail to timely file any and all reports due with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, JSJ can demand that we immediately repay 150% of the outstanding balance of the JSJ Convertible Note together with accrued interest (and default interest, if any).

Pursuant to the terms of the JSJ Convertible Note, JSJ agreed not to engage in any short sales or hedging transactions of our common stock. At no time may the JSJ Convertible Note be converted into shares of our common stock if such conversion would result in JSJ and its affiliates owning an aggregate of in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, provided such percentage may be increased by JSJ to up to increases to 9.99% upon not less than 61 days prior written notice to us.

The goal is for the Company to utilize this debt as growth capital to help accelerate projects that generate revenue.  We hope to repay the JSJ Convertible Note prior to any conversion. In the event that the JSJ Note is not repaid in cash in its entirety, Company shareholders may suffer dilution if and to the extent that the balance of the JSJ Note is converted into common stock.

Convertible Promissory Note with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC

On September 14, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 14, 2015 (the “Typenex SPA”) with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC (“Typenex”). Pursuant to the Typenex SPA, the Company issued to Typenex a convertible promissory note (the “Typenex Note”) in the principal amount of $1,005,000, deliverable in four tranches as described below.

 
14

 
The Typenex Note has a term of 20 months and an interest rate of 10% per annum (22% upon an event of default).  The net proceeds to the Company from the Typenex Note were $1,000,000, in the form of: (a) an initial tranche of $250,000 in cash (gross proceeds of $255,000, less $5,000 in expense reimbursements), and (b) three promissory notes of $250,000 each (collectively, the “Investor Notes”). Typenex may elect, in its sole discretion, to fund one or more of the Investor Notes. Absent such an election by Typenex, the Investor Notes will not result in cash proceeds to, or an obligation to repay on the part of, the Company. Each of the Investor Notes accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum until paid (provided that all amounts due under the Investor Notes may be offset against amounts we owe Typenex in Typenex’s sole discretion), and as such, we do not anticipate owing any interest on the Investor Notes until such notes are funded by Typenex.  Each of the Investor Notes are secured by a Membership Interest Pledge Agreement entered into by Typenex for our benefit.

Beginning on the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date and on the same day of each month thereafter until the maturity date, so long as any amount is outstanding under the Typenex Note, the Company is required to pay to Typenex installments of principal equal to $75,000 (or such lesser principal amount is then outstanding), plus the sum of any accrued and unpaid interest. Payments of each installment amount may be made in cash, subject to the terms of the note. Alternatively, Typenex or the Company may elect to convert an installment amount into Common Stock as described below.

Beginning six (6) months after the Closing Date, Typenex may convert the balance of the Typenex Note, or any installment or portion thereof, utilizing the conversion price calculation set forth below. Generally, the conversion price will be $0.30 per share; however, in the event the Company’s market capitalization falls below $3 million, then the conversion price is the lower of (a) $0.30 per share, and (b) the Market Price. The “Market Price” is calculated by applying a discount of 40% (provided that under certain events the discount may be reduced to up to 60%, upon the occurrence of certain events (with a reduction of 5% per event) such as the value of common stock (as calculated in the note) declining below $0.10 per share; the Company not being DWAC eligible; the Company’s common stock not being DTC eligible; or the occurrence of any major default (as described in the note)), to the average of the three (3) lowest intra-day trading prices of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion. The Company may also elect to make payment of installments in the form of equity on substantially the same terms, subject to the terms and conditions of the Typenex Note, and Typenex’s right in certain cases to require a certain portion of such payment to be paid in cash or stock. Additionally, 20 days after shares issued upon redemption of the note are eligible to be freely traded by Typenex (as described in the note), there is a required true up, whereby Typenex is required to be issued additional shares in the event the trading price of the Company’s common stock has declined from the time of original issuance to the date such shares are ‘free trading’ as described in the Typenex Note.

The Company has the right to prepay the Typenex Note under certain circumstances, subject to payment of a 35% prepayment penalty during the first six months the note is outstanding and 50% thereafter.

If, at any time that the Typenex Note is outstanding, the Company sells or issues any common stock or other securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Common Stock for a price per share that is less than the conversion price applicable under the Typenex Note, then such lower price will apply to all subsequent conversions by Typenex for a period of 20 trading days.
 
 
The Typenex Note includes customary and usual events of default. In the event of a default, the Typenex Note may be accelerated by Typenex. The outstanding balance would be immediately due and payable we are required to repay Typenex additional amounts (including the value of the amount then due in common stock, at the highest intraday trading price of the amount then due under the note) and/or liquidated damages in addition to the amount owed under the Typenex Note. In addition, we owe certain fees and liquidated damages to Typenex if we fail to timely issue shares of common stock under the Typenex Note.

Typenex is prohibited from owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares Pursuant to the Typenex Note, unless the market capitalization of the Company’s common stock is less than $10,000,000, in which case Typenex is prohibited from owning more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares.

 
15

 
Amounts owed by us under the Typenex Note is secured by a first priority security interest granted to Typenex pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement entered into with Typenex, in each of the Investor Notes.

The goal is for the Company to utilize this debt as growth capital to help accelerate projects that generate revenue.  We hope to repay the Typenex Convertible Note prior to any conversion. In the event that the Typenex Note is not repaid in cash in its entirety, Company shareholders may suffer dilution if and to the extent that the balance of the Typenex Note is converted into common stock.

Convertible Promissory Note with JMJ Financial

On September 16, 2015, we sold JMJ Financial (“JMJ”) a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of up to $900,000 (the “JMJ Convertible Note”). The initial amount received in connection with the sale of the JMJ Convertible Note was $350,000, and a total of $385,000 is currently due under the JMJ Convertible Note (not including the interest charge described below), as all amounts borrowed under the note include a 10% original issue discount. Moving forward, JMJ may loan us additional funds (up to $900,000 in aggregate) at our request, provided that JMJ has the right in its sole discretion to approve any future request for additional funding. Each advance under the JMJ Convertible Note is due two years from the date of such advance, with the amount initially funded under the note due on September 16, 2017.

The JMJ Convertible Note (including principal and accrued interest and where applicable other fees) is convertible into our common stock, at any time, at the lesser of $0.75 per share or 65% (a 35% discount) of the two lowest closing prices of our common stock in the 20 trading days prior to the date of any conversion, provided that if we are not DWAC eligible at the time of any conversion an additional 10% discount applies, and in the event our common stock is not DTC eligible at the time of any conversion, an additional 5% discount applies. The JMJ Convertible Note provides that unless we and JMJ agree in writing, JMJ is not eligible to convert any amount of the note into common stock which would result in JMJ owning more than 4.99% of our common stock.
 
A one-time interest charge of 12% was applied to the principal amount of the note, which remains payable regardless of the repayment (or conversion) date of the note.

Until 180 days after the date of the note, we are able to prepay the note assuming we prepay all outstanding principal together with a penalty of 40% of such amount, interest, fees, liquidated damages (if any), and the original issuance discount due thereon; and after 160 days, we are not able to prepay the note without JMJ’s written approval.

We agreed that we would reserve 25 million shares of common stock for conversion of the note. In the event we fail to deliver shares within four days of the date of any conversion by JMJ, we are required to pay JMJ $2,000 per day in penalties.

The JMJ Convertible Note provides for customary events of default including, our failure to timely make payments under the JMJ Convertible Note when due, our entry into bankruptcy proceedings, our failure to file reports with the SEC, our loss of DTC eligibility for our common stock, and the investor’s loss of the ability to rely on Rule 144. Additionally, upon the occurrence of an event of default, as described in greater detail in the JMJ Convertible Note, and at the election of JMJ, we are required to pay JMJ, either (i) the amount then owed under the note divided by the applicable conversion price, on the date the default occurs or the default amount is demanded (whichever is lower), multiplied by the volume weighted average price on the date the default occurs or the default amount is demanded (whichever is higher), or (ii) 150% of the principal amount of the note, plus all of the unpaid interest, fees, liquidated damages (if any) and other amounts due. Any amount not paid when due accrues interest at the rate of 18% per annum until paid in full. JMJ is not required to provide us any written notice in order to accelerate the amounts owed under the JMJ Convertible Note in the event of the occurrence of an event of default.

For so long as the JMJ Convertible Note is outstanding JMJ agreed not to effect any “short sales” of our common stock.

The goal is for the Company to utilize this debt as growth capital to help accelerate projects that generate revenue.  We hope to repay the JMJ Convertible Note prior to any conversion. In the event that the JMJ Note is not repaid in cash in its entirety, Company shareholders may suffer dilution if and to the extent that the balance of the JMJ Note is converted into common stock.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As part of our on-going business, we have not participated in transactions that generate material relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (“SPEs”), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of July 31, 2015, we are not involved in any material unconsolidated SPEs.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe 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. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation. On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718 which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee service. We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock based compensation at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances.

We estimated volatility by considering historical stock volatility. We have opted to use the simplified method for estimating the expected term of stock options equal to the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term.
 
Revenue Recognition. All revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service or sale is complete, the price is fixed or determinable and ability to collect is reasonably assured. Revenue is derived from the sale of coffee products and is recognized on a gross basis upon shipment. The Company utilizes a third party for the production and fulfillment of orders placed by customers. Customers order directly from the Company and accordingly, the Company acts as a principal, takes title to the products, and has the risks and rewards of ownership, such as the risk of loss for collection, delivery and returns.
 
 
17

 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets include a license agreement that was recorded at the estimated cost to acquire the asset (See Note 4 to the financial statements included in this report). The license agreement is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values. Management evaluated the carrying value of the license and determined that no impairment existed at July 31, 2015 or 2014.
 
Accounts Receivable allowance. A provision for doubtful accounts is provided based on a combination of historical experience, specific identification and customer credit risk where there are indications that a specific customer may be experiencing financial difficulties.
 
Inventory Reserves. We estimate any required write-downs for inventory obsolescence by examining our inventories on a quarterly basis to determine if there are indicators that the carrying values could exceed net realizable value. Indicators that could result in additional inventory write-downs include age of inventory, damaged inventory, slow moving products and products at the end of their life cycles. While significant judgment is involved in determining the net realizable value of inventory, we believe that inventory is appropriately stated at the lower of cost or market.
 
Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance. We follow the provisions of ASC 740 relating to uncertain tax provisions and have commenced analyzing filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. As a result of adoption, no additional tax liabilities have been recorded. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in certain state jurisdictions. The Company has not been subjected to tax examinations for any year and the statute of limitations has not expired. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or consequences of temporary 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 in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and related accruals, deferred tax assets and liabilities. These include establishing a valuation allowance related to the ability to realize certain deferred tax assets. To the extent future taxable income against which these assets may be applied is not sufficient, some portion or all of our recorded deferred tax assets would not be realizable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 For the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no accounting standards or interpretations issued that are expected to have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard which will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. The new standard is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, among other things, companies will generally need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. The accounting standard will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2017. The standard may be adopted using a full retrospective or a modified retrospective (cumulative effect) method. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating this standard and have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (“ASU 2014-12”). The guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. The guidance will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, if any, on its financial statements.
 
Management is evaluating the significance of the recent accounting pronouncement ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (subtopic 205-40); disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, and has not yet concluded whether the pronouncement will have a significant effect on the Company’s future financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting and Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
 
Based on our evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses at January 31, 2015:
 
   
(1)
lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company’s Board of Directors capable to oversee the audit function;

   
(2)
inadequate segregation of duties due to limited number of personnel, which makes the reporting process susceptible to management override;

   
(3)
insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and

   
(4)
ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.
 
 
 
19

 
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (1) through (4) above did not have an effect on the Company’s financial reporting during the six months ended July 31, 2015.

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, moving forward, at such time as we are able to raise additional funding, we plan to hire additional outside accounting personnel and take action to consolidate check writing and financial controls. Additionally, as soon as funds are available, we plan to make a determination as to whether it is in the Company’s best interest to (1) appoint one or more outside directors to our Board of Directors to be appointed to the audit committee of the Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources; (3) hire independent third parties to provide expert advice; and (4) prepare and implement sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
 
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended July 31, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
 
From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business.

On July 28, 2014, Shane Whittle, individually, a former significant shareholder and officer and director of the Company (“Whittle”) filed a complaint against the Company in the District Court, City and County of Denver, State of Colorado (Case No. 2014-CV-032991 Division: 209). The complaint alleged that Whittle entered into a consulting agreement with the Company for which the Company failed to make payments and that Rohan Marley, as both a director of the Company and of Marley Coffee Canada, Inc., additionally agreed that, as part of Whittle’s consulting compensation, the Company would assume a debt owed by Marley Coffee Canada to Whittle. The cause of action set forth in the complaint includes breach of contract. Damages claimed by Whittle included $60,000 under the consulting agreement and $19,715 related to payments assumed by the Company.

Effective on March 31, 2015, the Company and Mr. Whittle entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release of Claims (the “Settlement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to dismiss their claims associated with the District Court, City and County of Denver, State of Colorado (Case No. 2014-CV-032991 Division: 209), lawsuit described above. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Whittle $80,000 which was accrued as of January 31, 2015 (to be paid in equal payments of $10,000 per month beginning on April 1, 2015), the Company agreed to withdraw from a joinder in connection with the Federal Action pending between the parties (and certain other parties) as described below, the parties provided each other mutual releases and the parties agreed to mutually dismiss, with prejudice, their claims.

On September 30, 2014, Whittle individually, and derivatively on behalf of Marley Coffee LLC (“MC LLC”) filed a complaint against Rohan Marley, Cedella Marley, the Company, Hope Road Merchandising, LLC, Fifty-Six Hope Road Music Limited, and Marley Coffee Estate Limited in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (Civil Action No. 2014-CV-2680).

The complaint alleges that Whittle entered into a partnership with Rohan Marley, the son of the late reggae music legend Robert Nesta Marley p/k/a Bob Marley, to sell premium coffee products branded after the name and likeness of Rohan Marley. The causes of action set forth in the complaint include, among others, racketeering activity, trademark infringement, breach of fiduciary duty, civil theft, and civil conspiracy (some of which causes of action are not directly alleged against the Company), which are alleged to have directly caused Whittle and Marley Coffee LLC substantial financial harm.

Damages claimed by Whittle and MC LLC include economic damages to be proven at trial, profits made by defendants, treble damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and pre and post judgment interest.

Subsequently, all but the civil conspiracy claim against the Company was dismissed and the court ordered Whittle to amend his complaint to provide only for an alleged claim of breach of fiduciary duty (not against the Company) and conspiracy claims as an individual (not on a derivative basis). The outcome of this lawsuit cannot be predicted with any degree of reasonable certainty. In the event the matter is not settled, the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend itself against Whittle’s and MC LLC’s claims.
 
On December 15, 2014, a complaint was filed against the Company in the Superior Court of State of California, for the County of Los Angeles – Central Division (Case Number: BC566749), pursuant to which Sky Consulting Group, Inc. (“Sky”), made various claims against the Company, Mr. Tran, the Company’s President and Director, Marley C&V International, and various other parties. The complaint alleged causes of action for breach of contract, fraud, negligent representation, intentional interference with contractual relationship and negligent interference with contractual relationship, relating to a May 2013 coffee distributor agreement between the Company and Sky, which provided Sky the right to sell Company branded coffee products in Korea. The suit seeks damages, punitive damages, court costs and attorney’s fees. The Company subsequently filed a motion to compel arbitration pursuant to the terms of the agreement, which was approved by the court on April 7, 2015. The parties subsequently entered arbitration in connection with the lawsuit.  On September 8, 2015, the parties entered into a mutual settlement and release agreement, whereby Sky agreed to return 130,480 shares of common stock to the Company and stop distributing our products, displaying our tradenames or using our intellectual property; the parties agreed to each dismiss their claims/lawsuits; and each party provided the other a general release of all outstanding claims.  As of the date of this report, the shares have not yet been returned to the Company and the claims/lawsuits have not been dismissed, however we are confident that the shares will be returned to us (which shares we plan to cancel upon receipt) and the claims/lawsuits will be dismissed shortly after the date this report is filed.

In addition to the above, we may become involved in other material legal proceedings in the future.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2015, filed with the Commission on May 1, 2015, other than as disclosed below, and investors are encouraged to review such risk factors prior to making an investment in the Company.

The Company owes a significant amount of money to Mother Parkers.

As of July 31, 2015, the Company owed a significant amount of accounts payable, and the Company owed approximately $2 million, to Mother Parkers in consideration for distribution services rendered.  Mother Parkers has previously advised us that if we are not able to pay them amounts due past the 120 day net terms they have provided us, they will not provide additional credit and will stop distributing our products.  As of the filing date of this statement our debt with Mother Parkers is below 120 days. As described above, Mother Parkers is one of our largest distributors, representing over half of our revenues for the six months ended July 31, 2015, and in the event they stop distributing our products our results of operations will be materially adversely effected and we may be forced to curtail or abandon our business operations.  We recently raised funding through the sale of convertible notes, as described above, to pay down a portion of the amounts we owed to Mother Parkers, provided that in the future we may be required to raise additional debt or equity funding (including in order to repay such convertible notes), which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.
 
We have various outstanding convertible notes which are convertible into shares of our common stock at a discount to market.

As described under Item 5. Other Information, below, we sold various convertible promissory notes in September 2015. The conversion prices of the convertible notes initially vary from between 60% to 65% of the market value of our common stock, subject in many cases to anti-dilution and other rights which may result in such conversion prices declining. As a result, any conversion of the convertible notes and sale of shares of common stock issuable in connection with the conversion thereof may cause the value of our common stock to decline in value, as described in greater detail under the Risk Factors below. Notwithstanding the above, we plan to repay the convertible notes in full before any conversions take place.

The issuance and sale of common stock upon conversion of the convertible notes may depress the market price of our common stock.

If sequential conversions of the convertible notes and sales of such converted shares take place, the price of our common stock may decline, and as a result, the holders of the convertible notes will be entitled to receive an increasing number of shares in connection with conversions, which shares could then be sold in the market, triggering further price declines and conversions for even larger numbers of shares, to the detriment of our investors. The shares of common stock which the convertible notes are convertible into may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144. As a result, the sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price, if any, of our common stock.

In addition, the common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes may represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a company’s stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens the price of the company’s stock will decrease, and any additional shares which shareholders attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease the share price. The convertible notes will be convertible into shares of our common stock at a discount to market as described above, and such discount to market provides the holders with the ability to sell their common stock at or below market and still make a profit. In the event of such overhang, the note holders will have an incentive to sell their common stock as quickly as possible. If the share volume of our common stock cannot absorb the discounted shares, then the value of our common stock will likely decrease. Notwithstanding the above, we plan to repay the convertible notes in full before any conversions take place.

The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the convertible notes will cause immediate and substantial dilution.

The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the convertible notes will result in immediate and substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the holders of the convertible notes may ultimately receive and sell the full amount of shares issuable in connection with the conversion of such convertible notes. Although certain of the convertible notes may not be converted if such conversion would cause the holders thereof to own more than 4.99% or 9.99% of our outstanding common stock, this restriction does not prevent the holders of the convertible notes subject to such restrictions from converting some of their holdings, selling those shares, and then converting the rest of its holdings, while still staying below the 4.99%/9.99% limit. In this way, the holders of the convertible notes could sell more than any applicable ownership limit while never actually holding more shares than the applicable limits allow. If the holders of the convertible notes choose to do this, it will cause substantial dilution to the then holders of our common stock. Notwithstanding the above, we plan to repay the convertible notes in full before any conversions take place.
 
22

 
The continuously adjustable conversion price feature of the convertible notes could require us to issue a substantially greater number of shares, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and cause dilution to our existing stockholders.

Our existing stockholders will experience substantial dilution upon any conversion of the convertible notes. The convertible notes are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to a discount to the market value of our common stock as described above. As a result, the number of shares issuable could prove to be significantly greater in the event of a decrease in the trading price of our common stock, which decrease would cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. As sequential conversions and sales take place, the price of our common stock may decline, and if so, the holders of the convertible notes would be entitled to receive an increasing number of shares, which could then be sold, triggering further price declines and conversions for even larger numbers of shares, which would cause additional dilution to our existing stockholders and would likely cause the value of our common stock to decline.
 
We could face significant penalties for our failure to comply with the terms of our outstanding convertible notes.

As described under Item 5. Other Information, below, we sold various convertible promissory notes in September 2015.  The various notes contain positive and negative covenants and customary events of default including requiring us in many cases to timely file SEC reports. Some of our SEC reports have not been filed on a timely basis to date and in the event we fail to timely file our SEC reports in the future, or any other events of defaults occur under the notes, we could face significant penalties and/or liquidated damages and/or the conversion price of such notes could be adjusted downward significantly, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, or cause any investment in the Company to decline in value or become worthless.

We currently owe a significant amount of money under our outstanding convertible notes.

As of the date of this filing we owed approximately $0.75 million under the outstanding convertible promissory notes described under Item 5. Other Information, below. We do not have sufficient funds to repay such notes and if we are unable to raise additional funds in the future to repay such amounts, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, such failure could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations and cause any investment in the Company to decline in value or become worthless.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
 
On June 30, 2015, our Board of Directors approved and adopted the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The 2015 Plan has not been approved by the stockholders of the Company.  The Company also entered into First Amendments to Amended and Restated Employment Agreements with Brent Toevs, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Anh Tran, the Company’s President (the “First Amendments”).

The First Amendments, (1) extended the termination date of Mr. Toevs’ and Mr. Tran’s employment agreements (as amended and restated) for another three years, which agreements now expire on September 10, 2019; (2) provided that all unvested options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock granted to Mr. Toevs and Mr. Tran in August 2013 under and pursuant to our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, which originally had an exercise price of $0.46 per share, would be re-priced to have an exercise price of $0.195 per share, provided no other terms of the options were changed except for the re-pricing of 1,333,334 of the 2 million options previously granted; and (3) provided for the grant to each of Mr. Toevs and Mr. Tran of options to purchase 2 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.195 per share, with options to purchase 666,666 shares vesting on June 30, 2016 and options to purchase  666,667 shares vesting on June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

The Board of Directors also re-confirmed the $10,000 per month compensation payable to our Chairman, Rohan Marley, re-priced Mr. Marley’s 1,333,334 unvested stock options granted to Mr. Marley in August 2013, under and pursuant to our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, to have identical terms as the options held by Mr. Toevs and Mr. Tran which were re-priced in connection with their entries into the First Amendments, as described above, and granted Mr. Marley new stock options to purchase 2 million shares of common stock which have identical terms as the stock options granted to Mr. Toevs and Mr. Tran in connection with their entries into the First Amendments (described above).

We believe that the grants described above were exempt from registration pursuant to (a) Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); and/or (b) Rule 506 of the Securities Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. With respect to the transactions described above, no general solicitation was made either by us or by any person acting on our behalf. The transactions were all privately negotiated, and none involved any kind of public solicitation. No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing grants and we paid no underwriting discounts or commissions. The securities sold are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. All recipients (a) were “accredited investors;” (b) had access to similar documentation and information as would be required in a Registration Statement under the Securities Act; and/or (c) were officers and directors of the Company.
 
In September 2015, we sold the JSJ Convertible Note, the Typenex Convertible Note and the JMJ Convertible Note.  Each of such notes is convertible into our common stock at a discount to the trading price of our common stock as described in greater detail below under Item 5. Other Information. We claim an exemption from registration for the issuances of such convertible notes pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, since the foregoing issuances did not involve a public offering, the recipients were (a) “accredited investors”; and/or (b) had access to similar documentation and information as would be required in a Registration Statement under the Securities Act, the recipients acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The securities were offered without any general solicitation by us or our representatives. No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuances and grant and we paid no underwriting discounts or commissions. The securities sold are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

Convertible Note with JSJ Investments Inc.

On September 9, 2015, we sold a 12% Convertible Note to JSJ Investments Inc. (“JSJ” and the “JSJ Convertible Note”) in the amount of $275,000. Amounts owed under the JSJ Convertible Note accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum (18% upon an event of default). The JSJ Convertible Note is payable by us on demand by JSJ at any time after March 6, 2016. We have the right to prepay the JSJ Convertible Note (a) for an amount equal to 135% of the then balance of such note until the 180th day following the date of the note, and (b) for an amount equal to 150% of the balance of such note subsequent to the maturity date (provided the holder consents to such payment after maturity).

The JSJ Convertible Note and all accrued interest is convertible at the option of the holder thereof into the Company’s common stock at any time. The conversion price of the JSJ Convertible Note is 60% (a 40% discount) to the third lowest intra-day trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 10 trading days prior to any conversion date of the note. In the event we do not issue the holder any shares due in connection with a conversion within three business days, we are required to issue the holder additional shares equal to 25% of the conversion amount, and an additional 25% of such shares for each additional five business days beyond such fourth business day that such failure continues. In the event we do not have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock to allow for the conversion of the note, the discount rate (40%) is increased by an additional 5%.

In connection with the sale of the note, we agreed to pay $5,000 of JSJ’s legal fees and to use $27,500 of the amount received in connection with the sale of the note to pay accrued legal fees of our securities counsel.

The JSJ Convertible Note contains standard and customary events of default, including in the event we fail to timely file any and all reports due with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, JSJ can demand that we immediately repay 150% of the outstanding balance of the JSJ Convertible Note together with accrued interest (and default interest, if any).

Pursuant to the terms of the JSJ Convertible Note, JSJ agreed not to engage in any short sales or hedging transactions of our common stock. At no time may the JSJ Convertible Note be converted into shares of our common stock if such conversion would result in JSJ and its affiliates owning an aggregate of in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, provided such percentage may be increased by JSJ to up to increases to 9.99% upon not less than 61 days prior written notice to us.

We hope to repay the JSJ Convertible Note prior to any conversion. In the event that the JSJ Note is not repaid in cash in its entirety, Company shareholders will suffer dilution if and to the extent that the balance of the JSJ Note is converted into common stock.

Convertible Promissory Note with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC

On September 14, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 14, 2015 (the “Typenex SPA”) with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC (“Typenex”). Pursuant to the Typenex SPA, the Company issued to Typenex a convertible promissory note (the “Typenex Note”) in the principal amount of $1,005,000, deliverable in four tranches as described below.

The Typenex Note has a term of 20 months and an interest rate of 10% per annum (22% upon an event of default).  The net proceeds to the Company from the Typenex Note were $1,000,000, in the form of: (a) an initial tranche of $250,000 in cash (gross proceeds of $255,000, less $5,000 in expense reimbursements), and (b) three promissory notes of $250,000 each (collectively, the “Investor Notes”). Typenex may elect, in its sole discretion, to fund one or more of the Investor Notes. Absent such an election by Typenex, the Investor Notes will not result in cash proceeds to, or an obligation to repay on the part of, the Company. Each of the Investor Notes accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum until paid (provided that all amounts due under the Investor Notes may be offset against amounts we owe Typenex in Typenex’s sole discretion), and as such, we do not anticipate owing any interest on the Investor Notes until such notes are funded by Typenex.  Each of the Investor Notes are secured by a Membership Interest Pledge Agreement entered into by Typenex for our benefit.

Beginning on the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date and on the same day of each month thereafter until the maturity date, so long as any amount is outstanding under the Typenex Note, the Company is required to pay to Typenex installments of principal equal to $75,000 (or such lesser principal amount is then outstanding), plus the sum of any accrued and unpaid interest. Payments of each installment amount may be made in cash, subject to the terms of the note. Alternatively, Typenex or the Company may elect to convert an installment amount into Common Stock as described below.

Beginning six (6) months after the Closing Date, Typenex may convert the balance of the Typenex Note, or any installment or portion thereof, utilizing the conversion price calculation set forth below. Generally, the conversion price will be $0.30 per share; however, in the event the Company’s market capitalization falls below $3 million, then the conversion price is the lower of (a) $0.30 per share, and (b) the Market Price. The “Market Price” is calculated by applying a discount of 40% (provided that under certain events the discount may be reduced to up to 60%, upon the occurrence of certain events (with a reduction of 5% per event) such as the value of common stock (as calculated in the note) declining below $0.10 per share; the Company not being DWAC eligible; the Company’s common stock not being DTC eligible; or the occurrence of any major default (as described in the note)), to the average of the three (3) lowest intra-day trading prices of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion. The Company may also elect to make payment of installments in the form of equity on substantially the same terms, subject to the terms and conditions of the Typenex Note, and Typenex’s right in certain cases to require a certain portion of such payment to be paid in cash or stock. Additionally, 20 days after shares issued upon redemption of the note are eligible to be freely traded by Typenex (as described in the note), there is a required true up, whereby Typenex is required to be issued additional shares in the event the trading price of the Company’s common stock has declined from the time of original issuance to the date such shares are ‘free trading’ as described in the Typenex Note.

The Company has the right to prepay the Typenex Note under certain circumstances, subject to payment of a 35% prepayment penalty during the first six months the note is outstanding and 50% thereafter.

If, at any time that the Typenex Note is outstanding, the Company sells or issues any common stock or other securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Common Stock for a price per share that is less than the conversion price applicable under the Typenex Note, then such lower price will apply to all subsequent conversions by Typenex for a period of 20 trading days.
 
 
The Typenex Note includes customary and usual events of default. In the event of a default, the Typenex Note may be accelerated by Typenex. The outstanding balance would be immediately due and payable we are required to repay Typenex additional amounts (including the value of the amount then due in common stock, at the highest intraday trading price of the amount then due under the note) and/or liquidated damages in addition to the amount owed under the Typenex Note. In addition, we owe certain fees and liquidated damages to Typenex if we fail to timely issue shares of common stock under the Typenex Note.

Typenex is prohibited from owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares Pursuant to the Typenex Note, unless the market capitalization of the Company’s common stock is less than $10,000,000, in which case Typenex is prohibited from owning more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares.

Amounts owed by us under the Typenex Note is secured by a first priority security interest granted to Typenex pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement entered into with Typenex, in each of the Investor Notes.

We hope to repay the Typenex Convertible Note prior to any conversion. In the event that the Typenex Note is not repaid in cash in its entirety, Company shareholders will suffer dilution if and to the extent that the balance of the Typenex Note is converted into common stock.

Convertible Promissory Note with JMJ Financial

On September 16, 2015, we sold JMJ Financial (“JMJ”) a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of up to $900,000 (the “JMJ Convertible Note”). The initial amount received in connection with the sale of the JMJ Convertible Note was $350,000, and a total of $385,000 is currently due under the JMJ Convertible Note (not including the interest charge described below), as all amounts borrowed under the note include a 10% original issue discount. Moving forward, JMJ may loan us additional funds (up to $900,000 in aggregate) at our request, provided that JMJ has the right in its sole discretion to approve any future request for additional funding. Each advance under the JMJ Convertible Note is due two years from the date of such advance, with the amount initially funded under the note due on September 16, 2017.

The JMJ Convertible Note (including principal and accrued interest and where applicable other fees) is convertible into our common stock, at any time, at the lesser of $0.75 per share or 65% (a 35% discount) of the two lowest closing prices of our common stock in the 20 trading days prior to the date of any conversion, provided that if we are not DWAC eligible at the time of any conversion an additional 10% discount applies, and in the event our common stock is not DTC eligible at the time of any conversion, an additional 5% discount applies. The JMJ Convertible Note provides that unless we and JMJ agree in writing, JMJ is not eligible to convert any amount of the note into common stock which would result in JMJ owning more than 4.99% of our common stock.
 
A one-time interest charge of 12% was applied to the principal amount of the note, which remains payable regardless of the repayment (or conversion) date of the note.

Until 180 days after the date of the note, we are able to prepay the note assuming we prepay all outstanding principal together with a penalty of 40% of such amount, interest, fees, liquidated damages (if any), and the original issuance discount due thereon; and after 160 days, we are not able to prepay the note without JMJ’s written approval.

We agreed that we would reserve 25 million shares of common stock for conversion of the note. In the event we fail to deliver shares within four days of the date of any conversion by JMJ, we are required to pay JMJ $2,000 per day in penalties.

The JMJ Convertible Note provides for customary events of default including, our failure to timely make payments under the JMJ Convertible Note when due, our entry into bankruptcy proceedings, our failure to file reports with the SEC, our loss of DTC eligibility for our common stock, and the investor’s loss of the ability to rely on Rule 144. Additionally, upon the occurrence of an event of default, as described in greater detail in the JMJ Convertible Note, and at the election of JMJ, we are required to pay JMJ, either (i) the amount then owed under the note divided by the applicable conversion price, on the date the default occurs or the default amount is demanded (whichever is lower), multiplied by the volume weighted average price on the date the default occurs or the default amount is demanded (whichever is higher), or (ii) 150% of the principal amount of the note, plus all of the unpaid interest, fees, liquidated damages (if any) and other amounts due. Any amount not paid when due accrues interest at the rate of 18% per annum until paid in full. JMJ is not required to provide us any written notice in order to accelerate the amounts owed under the JMJ Convertible Note in the event of the occurrence of an event of default.

For so long as the JMJ Convertible Note is outstanding JMJ agreed not to effect any “short sales” of our common stock.

We hope to repay the JMJ Convertible Note prior to any conversion. In the event that the JMJ Note is not repaid in cash in its entirety, Company shareholders will suffer dilution if and to the extent that the balance of the JMJ Note is converted into common stock.
 
In September 2015, we sold the JSJ Convertible Note, the Typenex Convertible Note and the JMJ Convertible Note.  Each of such notes is convertible into our common stock at a discount to the trading price of our common stock as described in greater detail below under Item 5. Other Information. We claim an exemption from registration for the issuances of such convertible notes pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, since the foregoing issuances did not involve a public offering, the recipients were (a) “accredited investors”; and/or (b) had access to similar documentation and information as would be required in a Registration Statement under the Securities Act, the recipients acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The securities were offered without any general solicitation by us or our representatives. No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuances and grant and we paid no underwriting discounts or commissions. The securities sold are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
 
The Company plans to issue a letter to shareholders on September 19, 2015, discussing its second quarter financial results for the three months ended July 31, 2015, business highlights from the quarter as well as anticipated projects and the company's balance sheet and cash flow position. A copy of the letter is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
