Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

 

High Performance Beverages Company (formerly known as Dethrone Royalty Holdings, Inc. and Exclusive Building Services, Inc.) (the “Company”) was founded as an unincorporated DBA in February 1997 and was incorporated as a C corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 11, 2010.

 

Effective February 29, 2016, the Company completed a 1 for 100 reverse stock split. All per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

 

Currently, the Company is selling its beverage products online through Amazon.com.

  

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Interim financial statements

 

The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in Article 8 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  The interim unaudited financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.  Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2015 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.   These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Dethrone Beverage, Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.  

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is accounted for on a lower of cost or market basis. The inventory consists of completed bottled beverages.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Loss per Common Share

 

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share has been calculated by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares. As of July 31, 2015, independent third parties held 14,439,441 warrants outstanding, respectively, which have a potentially dilutive effect. On February 26, 2016, these warrants were cancelled.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates subsequent events from the date of the balance sheet through the date when the financial statements are issued for disclosure consideration.  

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had negative net working capital and a net stockholders’ deficit at April 30, 2016 and had no reliable source of ongoing debt or equity financing.

 

The Company is emphasizing a new product line involving the manufacture and sale of sports performance or energy drinks along with any other non-alcoholic beverage under the Trade Name, High Performance Beverages Company. However, there are uncertainties as to whether the Company will obtain sufficient financing to continue to their products or if there will be sufficient market demand for the products. It is management’s plan to raise additional funding by the issuances of debt and equity instruments.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

  

NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

Convertible notes payable consists of the following:

 

  April 30,     July 31,  
Description   2016     2015  
On November 15, 2012, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Promissory Note with an unaffiliated party under which the Company received a one-year loan with a principal balance of $100,000. This note bears interest at 20% per annum with interest payments due quarterly. In addition, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock to the lender and Mr. Holley and McBride, the senior executives of the Company, pledged their 56,250 shares of the Company’s common stock as collateral and transferred 1,000,000 shares of free trading shares to the lender. If the Company goes into default of the provisions of the note, it becomes convertible into the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.001 per share (100 million shares).                
                 
On September 17, 2015, the Company and the lender entered into an exchange agreement and combined this note with two other notes held by the same lender and issued a new note to the lender.   $ -     $ 100,000  
                 
On February 27, 2013, the Company entered into a $335,000 convertible loan agreement. The agreement provides for a $35,000 original issue discount. The lender, at its discretion, may provide funds up to $300,000 to the Company. It provided $60,000 at the closing of the agreement on April 30, 2013. All loans under the agreement are payable in full one year after the funds are issued together with a prorated portion of the original issue discount. All amounts outstanding under the agreement become convertible, at the lender’s discretion, into shares of the Company’s common stock starting 180 days from the execution date of the agreement. The conversion rate per share is the lower of (i) $0.044 or (ii) 60% of the lowest trade price during the 25 trading days prior to a conversion notice. The lender has agreed that it will not execute any short trades and, at no time, will hold more than 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.                
                 
If the Company repays all amounts outstanding under the agreement within 90 days of the execution date, there will be no interest amounts due. If it does not pay all amounts due within 90 days of the execution date, it cannot make any other prepayments of the amounts outstanding without the consent of the lender. In addition, there will be a one-time interest charge of 12% of the amounts outstanding. The Company must also register all shares that are issuable under the agreement in any Registration Statement that it files with the SEC for any purpose. The Company has not filed a Registration Statement since this note was issued.                
                 
During the nine months ended April 30, 2016, the Company repaid $18,400 by issuing 1,840,000 shares of common stock. As of April 30, 2016, this note was in default.     17,320       35,720

Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Debenture), the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing on the Debenture through the date of the acceleration shall become at the Debenture holder’s election immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount (as defined in the Debenture). Commencing five days after the occurrence of an Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of the Debenture, the interest rate on the Debenture shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.                
                 
On September 17, 2015, the Company and the lender entered into an exchange agreement and combined this note with two other notes held by the same lender and issued a new note to the lender.     -       37,554

Pursuant to the Master Note, if the Company repays the entire balance of each Note prior to the prepayment opportunity date (as defined in the Master Note), the Company shall pay an interest rate equal to 0% per annum.  If the Company does not repay the entire balance of each Note prior to the prepayment opportunity date each Note shall have a one-time interest charge equal to 12%, applied to the outstanding balance of each note.                
                 
Each note is convertible, at any time after the date nine months from the purchase price date (as defined in the Master Note), into shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to (i) the outstanding balance divided by (ii) 60% of the lowest intra-day trade price in the twenty-five (25) trading days immediately preceding the conversion, subject to certain adjustments as further described in the Master Note.                
                 
On February 25, 2016, these notes, together with accrued interest and default penalties of $47,323, were combined and assigned to another investor in exchange for a $25,000 cash payment by the new investor. The original terms were not altered.                
                 
As of April 30, 2016, this note was in default.     157,323       72,027

NOTE 5 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

The convertible notes payable issued by the Company contain a variable conversion feature (the Variable Conversion Feature) that gives rise to a derivative liability. The Company has measured its derivative liability at fair value and recognized the derivative value as a current liability and recorded the derivative value on its consolidated balance sheet. The derivative is valued primarily using models based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little to no market activity. These inputs represent management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the liability at the measurement date and thus are classified as Level 3. Changes in the fair values of the derivative are recognized as earnings or losses in the current period.

 

The fair values of derivative liabilities related to the Variable Conversion Features as of July 31, 2015, for derivative instruments issued during the nine months ended April 30, 2016 and as of April 30, 2016 were estimated on the transaction dates and balance sheet dates under the following assumptions:

 

    July 31,
2015 		    Issuances /

2016 		 
Shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of debt     110,297,625       5,241,027,916       5,351,326,541  
Estimated market value of common stock on measurement date   $ 0.03     $ 0.01     $ 0.0005  
Exercise price   $ 0.07     $ 0.023     $ 0.001  
Risk free interest rate     0.33 %      0.01% to 0.12 %     0.19 %
Expected dividend yield     0.00 %     0.00 %     0.00 %
Expected volatility     384.93 %      118.60% to 693.3 %     366.28 %
Expected exercise term in years     0.8333       0.00       .948  

 

The changes in fair values of the derivative liabilities related to the convertible notes payable for the nine months ended April 30, 2016 are summarized as follows:

 

Fair value of derivative liabilities at July 31, 2015   $ 1,203,607  
Conversion of derivative liabilities     (565,131 )
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities     1,746,358

Liquidity

 

The Company has financed its operations through the private placement of debt and its common stock.

 

During the nine months ended April 30, 2016, we obtained $654,831 from borrowing on notes payable.

 

We will continue to seek financing as necessary but cannot give any assurances that we will be successful in doing so.

 

We are a public company and, as such, have incurred and will continue to incur additional significant expenses for legal, accounting and related services. Once we become a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of '34, we will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses including annual reports and proxy statements, if required.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements and related notes requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

 

An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements.

 

Financial Reporting Release No. 60 requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements.  There are no critical policies or decisions that rely on judgments that are based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made.  The financial statements include a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements. 

 

Seasonality

 

We do not yet have a basis to determine whether our business will be seasonal.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, obligations under any guarantee contracts or contingent obligations. We also have no other commitments, other than the costs of being a public company that will increase our operating costs or cash requirements in the future.

 

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

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures include those policies and procedures that:

 

  ● Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

  ● Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and

 

  ● Ensure that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company's management and directors; and

 

  ● Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

As of April 30, 2016, our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  In making this assessment, management followed an approach based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework   issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (known as “COSO”).  Based on this assessment, management determined that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in a timely manner.

 

We have made significant attempts to correct this issue including entering into an agreement to outsource our accounting and financial reporting functions to Clear Financial Solutions, Inc. of Houston, Texas. Management believes this arrangement will ensure the timely filing of future financial reports.

 

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this quarterly report.
