NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of Business
Brazil Minerals, Inc. (“BMIX” and the “Company”) was incorporated as Flux Technologies, Corp. under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S. on December 15, 2011. From inception through September 30, 2013 the Company had accumulated losses of $1,678,481.
On December 18, 2012, the Company entered into and consummated an acquisition agreement with Brazil Mining, Inc. (“Brazil Mining”) whereby Brazil Mining agreed to transfer to the Company certain mining and exploration rights, in exchange for 35,783,342 shares of the Company. At the same time, the previous sole director surrendered for voluntary cancellation, 99,999,000 common shares of stock of the Company such that, upon the transaction and a simultaneous private placement by the Company of its common stock, Brazil Mining owned 51% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The Company changed its name to Brazil Minerals, Inc. on December 24, 2012.
In 2012 the Company changed its fiscal year end date from February 28 or 29 to December 31.
Principles of Consolidation
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 99.99% subsidiary, BMIX Participações Ltda. (“BMIX Subsidiary”), which owns the economic interest in 55% of Mineração Duas Barras Ltda. (“Duas Barras”). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of BMIX 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the financial statements to be not misleading 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. Certain notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year 2012 as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in U.S. dollars.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company had initially adopted February 28/29 as its fiscal year end, but after the change in control changed the fiscal year end date to December 31, in order to align its year-end with that of its majority shareholder.

BRAZIL MINERALS, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, loans to a related party, accrued expenses and an amount due to a director. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. The Company's bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At September 30, 2013 the Company's bank deposits do not exceed the insured amounts.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.
Mineral Properties
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's rights. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.
Capital Assets
Capital assets consisting of the diamond and gold processing plant and other machinery are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful life of 10 years, on a straight-line basis. Capital assets consisting of computer and other office equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful life of 3 years, on a straight-line basis. Depreciation of $17, 954 has been capitalized to inventory during the period ended September 30, 2013.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with “ASC-260”, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Dividends
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during any of the periods shown.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Advertising Costs
The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company incurred advertising expense of $0 and $0 during the periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC 718. The Company has adopted a stock option and award plan to attract, retain and motivate its directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors. Options provide the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and to benefit from its growth. Vesting terms and conditions are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of the grant. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 15,000,000 common shares for employees, consultants, directors, and advisors.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all recent accounting pronouncements issued to the date of the issuance of these financial statements, and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company.

The Company was given an option to acquire a 20% share of the diamond production revenue received by Brazil Mining in respect of the Equity Interest.

NOTE 3 ACQUISITION OF DUAS BARRAS INTEREST
On January 2, 2013, the Company exercised an option under an agreement with Brazil Mining to acquire a 20% share of Brazil Mining’s receipt of diamond production revenue in respect of the Equity Interest held by Brazil Mining.

NOTE 5 CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE

The notes bear interest at 10% per annum and are due on the earlier of the close of a $100,000 financing or May 31, 2014. The note payable can be converted into common shares of the Company at $0.125 per share. The conversion price on the warrants is $0.15 per share. The estimated grant date fair value of the warrants granted during the period to December 31, 2012 of $15,567 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: our stock price on date of grant, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 116.51%, risk-free interest rate of 1.43%, and expected term of 6.25 years. The Company recorded a debt discount of $15,567 related to the issuance of the convertible note. Pursuant to the issuance of the notes payable, the Company incurred financing costs of $10,000 which have been deferred and will be amortized over the life of the note.

NOTE 10 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases an office in Pasadena, California, and has use of offices in São Paulo, Brazil and Belo Horizonte, Brazil through an agreement with an affiliate. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly are not reflected herein.
On July 30, 2013, the BMIX Subsidiary signed a definitive and irrevocable contract with a Brazilian company for the exclusive and irrevocable right to develop and own up to 75% of a vanadium, titanium, and iron project in the state of Piauí in exchange for the performance over time of certain defined geological research steps, as well as the payment, over a period of time, of 875,000 Brazilian reais (approximately US$392,000 as of September 30, 2013) and the equivalent of 125,000 Brazilian reals in common stock of the Company (approximately US$56,000 as of September 30, 2013). If, for any reason, the BMIX Subsidiary decides to discontinue participation prior to achieving 75% ownership, the BMIX Subsidiary will be guaranteed a percentage ownership of the project, ranging from 5% to 49%, proportional to the amount of funds disbursed and the amount of geological research done. The reported geochemical results on samples collected in June 2013 at the project site by geologists working for BMIX and analyzed at SGS-Geosol, a premier analytical laboratory, proved iron (Fe2O3) concentrations between 66.2% and 71.7%, titanium (TiO2) concentrations between 18.4% and 19.8%, and vanadium (V2O5) concentrations between 0.68% and 0.80%. The Company considers these results to be indicative of significant economic potential for the property.
NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,670,000 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2032. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Report.
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements for Brazil Minerals, Inc. reflect current expectations, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward- looking statements as a result of various factors. Factors that could cause future results to materially differ from the recent results or those projected in forward-looking statements include: unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral deposits that, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production; market fluctuations; government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection; competition; the loss of services of key personnel; unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of infrastructure as well as general economic conditions.
Results of Operations
The Company was incorporated on December 15, 2011 and changed its business plan in December 2012. No meaningful comparison of the Company’s financial condition as of September 30, 2013 or losses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 can be made to the Company’s financial condition as of September 30, 2012 or profits or losses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
The Company had gross revenues of $266,070 in the quarter ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $145,619 in the quarter ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 83%.
The Company owns a 55% interest in Mineração Duas Barras Ltda. (“Duas Barras”), a Brazilian company with revenues derived from sales of rough diamonds and gold.
In the third quarter of 2013, Duas Barras had gross revenues of $222,908 from sales of rough diamonds. Duas Barras sold 1,662.65 carats of rough diamonds in the third quarter of 2103 versus 902.10 carats of rough diamonds in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 84%. The average revenue per carat for rough diamonds sold was US$134 in the third quarter of 2013 versus US$143 in the second quarter of 2013. This decline in average sale price was related to the slightly smaller average size of diamonds from the quarterly production, and to the fact that some of the larger stones were removed by Duas Barras to be cut and polished and therefore not sold as rough diamonds. As the Company has reported in previous press releases, the sales price of a polished diamond can be a multiple of the sales price of a rough diamond. The average size of diamonds from Duas Barras varies across the fronts being mined. After the end of the third quarter, in the sale of rough diamonds which occurred on October 10, 2013, the average size of diamonds retrieved was larger and the revenue per carat of rough diamond sold was $153. All sales in the third quarter of 2013 were to Brazilian buyers.

In the third quarter of 2013, Duas Barras had gross revenues of $43,162 from sales of gold. Duas Barras sold 1,041.26 grams of gold in the third quarter of 2013 versus 799.10 grams of gold sold in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 30%. The average revenue per gram for gold was US$41 in the third quarter of 2013 which matched the US$41 obtained in the second quarter of 2013.
During the third quarter of 2013, Duas Barras received the mandatory Brazilian federal export registration allowing it the ability to sell its rough or polished diamonds and its gold abroad. The Company has successfully secured the services of a high-quality professional cutter and polisher in Brazil to which it can send the Duas Barras gems that are to be cut and polished. Two initial diamonds that had been cut and polished by this professional have been graded by the Gemological Institute of America (“GIA”) grading laboratory, considered the premier grading standard worldwide. An additional ten high-quality diamonds have been cut and polished and are awaiting grading. One of these polished diamonds originally was a 3.64 carat rough diamond which had received a purchase offer of $5,000 or approximately $1,373 per carat in rough status. Once the additional ten polished gems are graded by GIA, during the fourth quarter of 2013 as expected, the Company intends to use this initial set to meet with potential buyers so that the quality of its polished product can be appreciated. Furthermore, the Company is now setting aside from each production run of Duas Barras a certain number of rough diamonds for cutting and polishing. The Company intends to have a steady revenue component from the sale of polished diamonds beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, and growing thereafter.
Other Company Projects
Vanadium/Titanium/Iron Project
On July 30, 2013, the Company, through its 99.99%-owned Brazilian subsidiary (“BMIX Subsidiary”), signed a definitive and irrevocable contract with a Brazilian company for the exclusive and irrevocable right to develop and own up to 75% of a vanadium, titanium, and iron project in the state of Piauí in exchange for the performance over time of certain defined geological research steps, as well as the payment, over a period of time, of 875,000 Brazilian reais (approximately US$392,000 as of September 30, 2013) and the equivalent of 125,000 Brazilian reais in common stock of the Company (approximately US$56,000 as of September 30, 2013). If, for any reason, the BMIX Subsidiary decides to discontinue participation prior to achieving 75% ownership, the BMIX Subsidiary will be guaranteed a percentage ownership of the project, ranging from 5% to 49%, proportional to the amount of funds disbursed and the amount of geological research done. The reported geochemical results on samples collected in June 2013 at the project site by geologists working for BMIX and analyzed at SGS-Geosol, a premier analytical laboratory, proved iron (Fe2O3) concentrations between 66.2%and 71.7%, titanium (TiO2) concentrations between 18.4% and 19.8%, and vanadium (V2O5) concentrations between 0.68% and 0.80%. The Company considers these results to be indicative of significant economic potential for the property.
Borba Project (Gold)
During the third quarter of 2013, the Company’s geological team analyzed the results obtained from geochemical sampling of the project area. Since the Project Borba property is very extensive (approximately 10,000 hectares or 24,700 acres), the samples collected were not representative of all of the different locales within the project, but clearly demonstrate existence of the mineral in the property. Given the Company’s excellent prospects in its diamond business and excellent pipeline of strategic minerals, and considering the decline of the price of gold in the market, the Company is focusing its resources in those former areas, while continuing to study and to prepare for the active development of the Borba Project when the outlook for gold improves.
4
Project Pipeline
Management believes that through its contacts in the industry, the Company will be able to review a significant number of potential acquisitions of other mineral properties in Brazil.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In 2012 the Company’s principal source of liquidity was from the $2,000,033 gross proceeds of a private placement of common stock in December 2012.
On September 30, 2013, the Company issued and sold to two accredited investors for $100,000 four units of securities, each unit consisting of a $25,000 convertible promissory note and warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock until December 31, 2019. The notes bear interest at 10% per annum and are due on the earlier of the close of a $100,000 financing or May 31, 2014. The note payable can be converted into common shares of the Company at $0.125 per share, which was 25% above the Company’s common stock price at the time the transaction was negotiated and approximately 14% more than the closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2013, the day the transaction closed. The exercise price of the warrants is $0.15 per share, which was 50% above the Company’s common stock price at the time the transaction was negotiated, and approximately 36% more than the closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2013, the day the transaction closed.
As of September 30, 2013, the working capital of the Company was $745,801. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had accrued expenses of $99,973.
The Company believes that it has sufficient capital to fund its operations for at least the next six months, although it may become profitable during that period. However, the Company will likely need additional working capital and capital to fund some or all of the purchase price for future acquisitions or investments and will likely seek equity or debt financing for such purposes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company currently has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical accounting policies and estimates
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, loans to a related party, accrued expenses and an amount due to a director. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in the Company’s financial statements. If our estimate of the fair value is incorrect at September 30, 2013, it could negatively affect our financial position and liquidity and could result in our having understated our net loss.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the financial statements. We have reviewed all recent accounting pronouncements issued to the date of the issuance of these financial statements, and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company.
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
The Company’s management, with participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in reports, such as this report, that it files, or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that, as of September 30, 2013 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at that reasonable assurance level to satisfy the objectives for which they are intended.

Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
