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 June 30, 2013 the Company had accumulated losses of $538,178.

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 35,783,343 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 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 June 30, 2013 the Company's bank deposits exceeded 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.

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.

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 June 30, 2013 and June 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.

NOTE 12 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As a result of the change in control transaction on December 18, 2012, the Company has abandoned its technology related business. A summary of operations related to the discontinued operation is presented in the table below:

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with ASC Topic 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to June 30, 2013 to the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements, except as noted below.

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 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 reals (approximately US$382,000 as of August 3, 2013) and the equivalent of 125,000 Brazilian reals in common stock of the Company (approximately US$55,000 as of August 3, 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. 

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 June 30, 2013 or losses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013 can be made to the Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2012 or profits or losses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012.  

The Company had revenues of $145,619 in the quarter ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $5,763 in the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

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 second quarter of 2013, Duas Barras sold 902.10 carats of rough diamonds versus 354.00 carats of rough diamonds sold in the first quarter of 2013, an increase of 154.8%. The average revenue per carat for rough diamonds sold was US $143 in the second quarter of 2013 versus US$ 149 in the first quarter of 2013. All such sales were to Brazilian buyers.

In the second quarter of 2013, Duas Barras sold 799.10 grams of gold versus 2,473.69 grams of gold sold in the first quarter of 2013. The average revenue per gram for gold was US$ 41 in the second quarter of 2013 versus US$ 44 in the first quarter of 2013. All such sales were to Brazilian buyers. The concentration of gold, a subproduct of diamond processing, commonly varies across areas in the property and types of gravel being processed in the plant, and this is the main reason for the difference seen.

During the second quarter of 2013, Duas Barras started the operation of a small barge in a highly promising water-filled area in the mining concession, with water depths of up to 30 feet. The barge mechanically suctions the diamondiferous and auriferous gravel from the bottom of this water-filled area, and also pumps off the water to a different reservoir, thereby leading over time to a reduction in water level. As of quarter-end, this area had seen its water level decrease substantially. The Company anticipates being able to complete the water removal in at least part of the area during the second half of 2013, at which point an excavator and other earth moving equipment could move in and directly remove the gravel for processing in the Duas Barras plant for extraction of diamonds and gold. At that point, Duas Barras may be able access both more volume as well as better quality gravel (i.e., one with higher concentrations of diamonds and gold) from which higher yields of production could occur.

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company also obtained a gemological assessment of approximately 300 carats of a recent rough diamond production lot from Duas Barras. This analysis was done upon a request made by a high-end fine jewelry retailer based in Milan, Italy. The analysis for shapes and the expected color and clarity after cutting and polishing was carried out by a gemological analytical practice whose principal gemologist has trained and is certified by the Gemological Institute of America ("GIA") and has over 28 years of experience in diamond evaluation and grading, having previously worked in the diamond trade in New York and Los Angeles. In the gemological report issued, the highest color expected from the Duas Barras lot, upon cutting and polishing, is "E", which corresponds to the second highest category in the commonly used GIA grading scale. In that scale, diamonds receiving color grades 'D", "E", and "F" are referred to as "colorless" gems. In the report, the highest expected clarity from the lot is "VVS", which corresponds to the second highest category in the GIA scale. In that scale, the first category is "IF", short for "internally flawless", and such gems are very rare. The term "VVS" (very, very small) indicates gems in which it is "extremely difficult to see inclusion under 10X magnification". The shapes seen in the sample were categorized into sawables, makeables, and flats, and included many well-formed octahedrons and dodecahedrons. Based on the report it is anticipated that the Duas Barras will to appeal to many global buyers. Currently, Duas Barras receives more requests from buyers interested in buying its entire rough production than it can accommodate.

Subsequent to the second quarter end, on July 17, 2013, Duas Barras received the Brazilian federal license allowing it to now be able to export its production. The Company believes that Duas Barras will realize higher average prices per carat in the global markets, and to that extent it has begun to qualify foreign buyers interested in the Duas Barras production.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company obtained two rough stones from Duas Barras and had them cut and polished by an experienced cutter in Brazil. The original rough diamonds were approximately one carat each, and valued at approximately US$150 per carat, using current sales figures for the Duas Barras rough diamond production revenues. The cost of cutting and polishing each of these two diamonds was USD$50. After cutting and polishing, the end result were two brilliant cut diamonds, which were appraised by an experienced trader for US$1,990 per carat, utilizing the industry-accepted Rappaport pricing scale. This actual example is illustrative of the ability to significantly increase margins by having part of the rough production from Duas Barras cut and polished and sold as such. This Company plans to commence such polishing operations for some of its diamonds during the fourth quarter of 2013.

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company beta-launched its Diamond Sales Portal, accessible through its website www.brazil-minerals.com. This is an online marketplace where pre-qualified institutional buyers can see production lots and special rough gems at the moment, and at a later date, polished gems as well. The Company believes that over time, its ability to have a global reach in both rough and polished diamonds, and utilization of enabling applications such as the Diamond Sales Portal, will allow it to increase the market for the production of Duas Barras as well as achieve better pricing. The Company is currently working on the next version of the online interface of the portal as well as the qualification of the global buyers from which it has received requests. These potential buyers of the Duas Barras production include firms from Belgium, Dubai, Canada, Italy, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the U.S.

Other Company Projects

Vanadium/Titanium/Iron Project

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company’s geological team visited and collected samples from an area in the state of Piauí, Brazil, where mineralized outcroppings were first visible after a recent wildfire lowered the vegetation cover. Samples were sent to SGS-Geosol, a first-tier provider of laboratory analytical reports whose clients include essentially all of the major global mining companies operating in Brazil. The reported geochemical results from SGS-Geosol 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 to be indicative of the very large potential for the property. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter the Company entered into an agreement with the owner of the mineral property, a Brazilian resident, by which BMIXP has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to 75% of the project at defined geological research milestones for the payment of an aggregate of $875,000 Brazilian reals (approximately USD$382,000 as of August 1, 2013) and the equivalent of $125,000 Brazilian reals in common stock of the Company (approximately USD$55,000 as of August 1, 2013).

The Company believes that with the continued world demand for titanium and vanadium as strategic minerals, and given the world-class, high concentrations of these minerals seen on the property, that it will be able to attract development partners to this project if it chooses to do so. A Canadian company called Largo Resources, which trades in the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture Board, has a vanadium and titanium property located approximately 25km from our property.

Borba Project

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company’s geological team visited and collected samples of some locations within 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. These samples were analyzed by SGS-Geosol and the analysis confirmed the presence of gold in the project. The Company’s geological team is studying SGS-Geosol’s report in connection with other data collected from its visit, and reports from local prospectors, with the goal of recommending to management of the Company the next steps to be taken.

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 $2,000,000 gross proceeds of a private placement of common stock in December 2012. As of June 30, 2013, the working capital of the Company was $860,880. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had accrued expenses of $86,878 and $180 indebtedness for money advanced by an officer.

The Company believes that it has sufficient capital to fund its operations for at least the next six months. 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 June 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 June 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 June 30, 2013 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
