Overview
Headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, MOJO Organics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, engages in product development, production, marketing and distribution of CHIQUITA TROPICALS™. CHIQUITA TROPICALS™ are a 100% fruit juice, produced under license agreement from Chiquita Brands. The mission of MOJO is to promote a Better-for-You lifestyle for children and adults through affordable natural ingredient beverages and organic ingredient beverages.
Our Business
General
Our CHIQUITA TROPICALSTM 100% fruit juice product first became commercially available on a limited basis in the New York tri-state area in late July 2013. Our initial commercial product launch included Banana Strawberry and Mango flavors, and subsequently sold out.
The CHIQUITA TROPICALS™ label tells the story of our juice with easy to read icons: zero added sugar, no preservatives, naturally low sodium, vegan, naturally gluten free, non-genetically modified, and kosher. Such attributes are what consumers want today in a beverage. Because of the way we bottle our juice, it does not require refrigeration before opening.
We believe in safe and sustainable corporate practices. We are proud to use Rainforest Alliance Certified fruits which help the farmers and their families while having respect for the environment.
Production and Distribution
The Company sources its ingredients and packaging from multiple sources on a contract basis. The providers of the fruits used in our juices grow on a non-genetically modified basis. Our juices are produced without preservatives and without added sugar. MOJO believes that these fruit sources are of high quality and are an important part of the overall taste and quality of its juice products. The Company believes that adequate alternate suppliers exist in the event that one or more sources are unable or unwilling to provide MOJO with the fruit and ingredients needed to meet production demand.
MOJO currently produces and packages the CHIQUITA TROPICALSTM products through production facilities and services on a contract basis. The Company believes that its current production and packaging arrangements are adequate for current and near-term anticipated demand for its products. An important part of the overall strategy, however, will be the expansion of production capabilities and resources.
MOJO has entered into distribution agreements with distributors and regularly seeks to broaden its distribution channels. The Company also intends to sell directly to retailers, including large chain stores.
Intellectual Property
On August 15, 2012, the Company entered into a license agreement (“License Agreement”) with Chiquita Brands L.L.C. (“Chiquita”) for the use of Chiquita’s marks in the manufacture, sale, promotion, marketing, advertising and distribution of certain fruit juice products in select containers. The License Agreement grants the Company an exclusive license in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and a non-exclusive license for the other states in the United States. The Company will pay Chiquita royalties for products sold under the License Agreement.
4
The term of the License Agreement is for seven years from July 2013, (the date we first invoiced customers for products sold under the License Agreement), subject to the Company meeting certain minimum sales volume and/or minimum royalty payments. Termination of the License Agreement would have a material and adverse impact on MOJO’s business.
Competition
The juice beverage market is highly competitive. Competitors in our market compete for brand recognition, ingredient sourcing, qualified personnel and product shelf space. As a developing company, the large majority of our competitors are more established and better capitalized than us. The juice beverage market is generally dominated by the largest providers, including The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo, Inc. Many of our competitors enjoy significant brand recognition and consumer confidence and are able to readily secure shelf space and media attention for their products. Many of our competitors also have existing relationships with the same distribution channels and retailers through which we seek to sell our products. We intend to compete in the market by offering consumers affordable products that taste better and possess a longer shelf life than most products in the market.
Government Regulation
Juice products are governed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As such, it is necessary for the Company to establish, maintain and make available for inspection records as well as to develop labels (including nutrition information) that meet legal food labeling requirements. The Company’s contracted production facilities are subject to many provisions, including Food Facility Registration, recordkeeping, Good Manufacturing Practice Requirements, reporting, preventive controls and inspections.
Employees
As of September 19, 2013, the Company employed one full time employee and one part time employee.
Corporate History and Development
The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 2, 2007 under the name MOJO Shopping, Inc. for the purpose of developing an online retail business focused on marketing merchandise to young professionals. On April 28, 2011, the Company changed its name to MOJO Ventures, Inc. On May 13, 2011, the Company closed a merger with Specialty Beverage and Supplement, Inc., a privately held Nevada corporation (“Specialty Beverage”), pursuant to which Specialty Beverage merged with and into SBSI Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“SBSI”). Specialty Beverage, incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 3, 2008, was engaged in the development of beverage products and vitamin supplements, such as energy drinks, sports drinks, wellness beverages, ready-to-drink iced teas and vitamin enhanced children’s drinks.
The Company entered into a split-off agreement dated October 27, 2011 (“Split-Off”) with the newly organized wholly owned subsidiary MOJO Organics Operating Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as MOJO Organics, Inc., SBSI and certain stockholders of the Company (“Buyers”). In the Split-Off, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of SBSI were assigned and transferred to the Buyers in exchange for the Buyers surrender to the Company of an aggregate of 2,330,775 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), for cancellation. Such shares represented approximately 38% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock prior to the Split-Off. In the Split-Off, SBSI assigned to the Company SBSI’s Dispensing Cap and Pinch assets (including all related intellectual property) and retained all of its other assets and all liabilities, including its (and the Company’s former) principal office and distribution facilities in Holbrook, New York, as well as our other former subsidiary, Graphic Gorilla LLC. MOJO’s management has determined that the Dispensing Cap technology and brand name Pinch do not have viable commercial value and, as a result, the Company has no current plans to market or use these assets.
On December 28, 2011, we changed our name to MOJO Organics, Inc. to better reflect our focus on the natural and organic beverage markets.

Recent Developments
On January 12, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated securities purchase agreement for the offer and sale of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (“Series A Preferred Stock”) at a price of $4.00 per share. On January 31, 2013, the Company consummated an initial closing of the private sale of Series A Preferred Stock, raising gross proceeds of $372,500, including $237,500 from the conversion of promissory notes. MOJO consummated three additional closings, raising a total of $790,834 (including the initial closing), including a total of $378,700 through the conversion of debt. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into a number of shares of our Common Stock determined by dividing $4.00 by the conversion price (which, after accounting for the Reverse Split described below, was $0.40). On or prior to July 11, 2013, all outstanding and issued Series A Preferred Stock were converted into shares of Common Stock.
The Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split (“Reverse Split”) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on April 1, 2013. The number of authorized shares and the par value of our Common Stock were not changed. All share references in this report have been restated to reflect the Reverse Split.
On May 1, 2013, the Company commenced a private placement offering of up to 1,250,000 shares of its Common Stock, at a price of $0.40 per share pursuant to subscription agreements entered into with each investor. As of June 18, 2013, the last date of the offering, 1,171,705 shares of Common Stock were sold, raising an aggregate of $468,682.

Holders

Dividends
The Company has never declared any cash dividends with respect to its Common Stock. Future payment of dividends is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors. Although there are no material restrictions limiting, or that are likely to limit, the Company’s ability to pay dividends on its Common Stock, we presently intend to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the business and have no present intention to pay cash dividends on our Common Stock.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
There were no sales of unregistered securities during the year ended December 31, 2012 other than the following:
In January 2012, the Company granted 100,000 shares of restricted Common Stock to each of Mr. LeShufy and Mr. Devlin in consideration of his services as a director of the Company. Mr. LeShufy’s shares are fully vested. On May 21, 2012, Mr. Devlin returned his shares to the Company to be canceled and reissued subject to the vesting conditions contained in the amended and restated restricted stock agreements described below. Such shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.
7
On May 21, 2012, the Company granted 4,132,462 shares of restricted Common Stock (excluding the 100,000 shares returned by and reissued to Mr. Devlin on the same date as described above) pursuant to restricted stock agreements to officers, directors and certain advisors of the Company in consideration of services provided to or to be provided to the Company. This disclosure corrects the previously reported aggregate of 4,000,000 shares (on Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 24, 2012) to account for 132,462 additional shares of restricted Common Stock granted to Mr. LeShufy but not previously disclosed as the shares were mistakenly not issued on such date. Such shares granted on May 21, 2012 were granted in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Act. Of such shares, 6,624 shares were forfeited upon termination of services prior to meeting vesting conditions set forth in the relevant restricted stock agreement, 88,309 shares have vested and the remaining shares remain subject to forfeiture in accordance with the terms of a restricted stock agreement or amended and restated restricted stock agreements, as the case may be.
On July 25, 2012, the Company granted 221,055 shares of restricted Common Stock pursuant to a restricted stock agreement to an advisor of the Company in consideration of services to be rendered to the Company. These shares are subject to forfeiture in accordance with the terms of the advisor’s amended and restated restricted stock agreement covering such shares, none of which have vested. Such shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.
On November 28, 2012, the Company entered into an advisor agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 500,000 shares of Common Stock to such advisor, 50% of which was issuable upon execution of the agreement and 50% of which is issuable upon the six month anniversary of the execution of the Advisor Agreement. In accordance with the agreement, 250,000 shares were issued upon execution of the agreement, and such shares are fully vested. Such shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Act. The advisory services agreement has since been terminated and therefore the remaining 250,000 shares have not been, and will not be, issued.

The Company did not generate revenue for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Total operating expenses
For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, total operating expenses were $1,603,669 and $165,994, respectively. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 did not include expenses of $5,656,954, which were reclassified to discontinued operations (see below).
Operating expenses of $1,603,669 for the year ended December 31, 2012 included approximately $1,113,000 of compensation expense incurred in connection with the issuance of restricted stock, $157,500 for advisory expenses related to an agreement with OmniView Capital, LLC, $101,000 in legal fees and $60,000 in accounting and audit fees.

Working Capital Needs
At the current level of operations, there is insufficient cash to meet the expenses of the Company for the next six months. We expect that we will need to obtain additional capital in order to maintain our public company regulatory requirements and execute our business plan, build our operations and become profitable.
We cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. We may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, we may be unable to implement our current plans which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our consolidated financial statements relating to the uncertainty of our business as a going concern, due to our limited operating history, our lack of historical profitability, and our limited funds.
Not applicable.
The audited financial statements are included beginning immediately following the signature page to this report. See Item 15 for a list of the financial statements included herein.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, consisting of Glenn Simpson, our principal executive and financial officer, we conducted an evaluation 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 Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive and financial officer concluded, as of the Evaluation Date, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the identification of what might be deemed a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which is identified below.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of MOJO Organics, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our sole officer concluded that, during the period covered by this annual report, our internal controls over financial reporting were not operating effectively. Management has identified the following deficiencies that, when aggregated, may possibly be viewed as a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012:
1.
|
We do not have an audit committee. While we are not currently obligated to have an audit committee, including a member who is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K, under applicable regulations or listing standards; however, it is management’s view that such a committee is an important internal control over financial reporting, the lack of which may result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of internal controls and procedures.
|
2.
|
We did not maintain proper segregation of duties for the preparation of our financial statements. We currently only have one officer overseeing all transactions. This has resulted in several deficiencies including the lack of control over preparation of financial statements, and proper application of accounting policies.
|
The Company believes that the two deficiencies set forth above did not have an effect on the financial statements.
10
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we plan to initiate the following series of measures when we have the financial resources to do so:
We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function.
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside Directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, would remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.
Attestation Report
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting as such report is not required for non-accelerated filers.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees in the future. We do not have a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, no security holders have made any such recommendations. Our three directors perform all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our board it is not practical for us to have committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and allocate responsibilities accordingly.
Shareholder Communications
Currently, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, no security holders have made any such recommendations.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a written code of ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions. We believe that the Code of Ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code. To request a copy of the Code of Ethics, please make written request to our Company at 101 Hudson Street, 21st Floor, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302.

Securities Authorized For Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
As of December 31, 2012, there were no options outstanding, and no securities available for issuance, under any Company equity compensation plan.
On February 22, 2013, the 2012 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval. MOJO stockholders approved the 2012 Plan on March 29, 2013. The 2012 Plan provides the Company with the ability to issue stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and/or other stock-based awards for up to an aggregate of 2,050,000 shares of Common Stock. As of September 19, 2013, incentive stock options to purchase 210,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock had been issued to directors and employees under the 2012 Plan.
Other than as disclosed below and in this Annual Report, there have been no transactions, since January 1, 2011, or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any of our directors, executive officers or beneficial holders of more than 5% of our outstanding Common Stock, or any of their respective immediate family members, has had or will have any direct or material indirect interest.
In 2012, certain officers and directors of the Company advanced funds to the Company for payment of operating expenses. On May 1, 2012, the Company issued a Note Payable to Mr. Simpson for $15,000 in connection with an advance. The note bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum, with a maturity date of September 15, 2013. On August 17, 2012, Mr. Seet was issued a Note Payable for $7,500, with an interest rate of 8% per annum, and a maturity date of September 15, 2013. Mr. Simpson and Mr. Seet exchanged their notes payable for 3,750 and 1,875 shares of MOJO Preferred Stock, respectively. The Preferred Stock subsequently converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
On June 22, 2011, the Company issued 300,000, 82,000, 80,000, 22,333, and 3,333 restricted shares of its Common Stock valued at $1,050,000, $287,000, $280,000, $81,667 and $11,667, respectively, to Peter Scalise III, Scott Ferrari, Duncan Weir, Richard Hall, and Neil Rosenberg, respectively. The shares were issued as compensation for services rendered to the Company. All of the shares were contributed back to the Company as consideration in connection with the Split-Off of SBSI and have been cancelled and returned to the Company’s authorized but unissued Common Stock.
Director Independence
We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to (and we do not) have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “Independent Directors.”
Our Board of Directors has considered the independence of its directors in reference to the definition of “independent director” established by the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). In doing so, the Board of Directors has reviewed all commercial and other relationships of each director in making its determination as to the independence of its directors. After such review, the Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Devlin qualifies as independent under the requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
MOJO Organics, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MOJO Organics, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 3, the Company has incurred substantial accumulated deficits and operating losses and will require additional financing in 2013 to meet its obligations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
MOJO Organics, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MOJO Organics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 3, the Company has incurred substantial accumulated deficits and operating losses and will require additional financing in 2012 to meet its obligations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also discussed in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Corporate Changes and History of Company
MOJO Organics, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 2, 2007.
On May 13, 2011, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Specialty Beverage and Supplement, Inc., a privately held Nevada corporation (“SBSI”) and SBSI Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub”), pursuant to which SBSI merged with and into Acquisition Sub (the “Merger”) with the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State on May 13, 2011. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization in which SBSI became the acquirer for accounting purposes and the Company became the issuer. The value of the Company’s common stock that was issued was the historical cost of the Company’s net tangible assets, which did not differ materially from their fair value. As a result of the acquisition of SBSI through the reverse merger transaction, the board of directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31.
In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the closing, an aggregate of 1,955,213 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the holders of SBSI’s common stock in exchange for their shares of SBSI.
On May 13, 2011, simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, the Company issued 746,285 shares of common stock to retire certain debt in SBSI held by the holders of 9% subordinated convertible debentures.
On May 13, 2011, simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, in a separate transaction, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with its former Chief Executive Officer and sole director. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred all of its membership interests in MOJO Shopping, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to the former Chief Executive Officer in exchange for the assumption of the Company’s accounts payable of approximately $200,000, the cancellation of 8,000,000 of the former Chief Executive Officer’s shares of the Company’s common stock, and the cancellation of indebtedness owed by the Company to the former Chief Executive Officer in the amount of $2,759. Also, simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, the Company cancelled an aggregate of 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock held by two shareholders.
On October 27, 2011 the board of directors approved a split-off agreement with Acquisition Sub (“Split-Off”). In the Split-Off, the Company assigned and transferred to Acquisition Sub all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of SBSI in exchange for the surrender by certain stockholders to the Company for cancellation an aggregate to 2,330,775 shares of the Company’s common stock.
F-8
In the Split-Off, SBSI assigned the Dispensing Cap and Pinch assets (including all related intellectual property (patent pending and trademarks)) to MOJO Organics, Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary newly organized to receive these assets, and retained all of its other assets and all liabilities, including its (and the Company’s former) principal office and distribution facilities in Holbrook, New York, as well as the Company’s other subsidiary, Graphic Gorilla LLC.
The financial position and activity of the Company prior to Split-Off were accounted for as discontinued operations (See Note 4).
Corporate Name Changes
On April 28, 2011, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation in Delaware to change its name from MOJO Shopping, Inc. to MOJO Ventures, Inc.
On December 21, 2011, the board of directors adopted resolutions authorizing an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change its name from MOJO Ventures, Inc. to MOJO Organics, Inc. On December 28, 2011, the Company filed the amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware effecting the name change. Additionally, the name change was submitted to The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). The Company has not asked FINRA to authorize a new trading symbol and thus, its trading symbol will remain “MOJO”.
On December 27, 2011, the Company’s wholly owned operating subsidiary, MOJO Organics, Inc. changed its name to MOJO Organics Operating Company, Inc.
Line of Business
The Company engages in the production, distribution, and marketing of beverages. The goal of the Company is to promote a Better-for-You lifestyle for children and adults through affordable natural and organic drinks. Towards its goal of Better-for-You products, the Company is debuting with CHIQUITA TROPICALSTM a 100% Fruit Juice, produced under license agreement with Chiquita Brands L.L.C. (“Chiquita”).
Basis of Presentation
For 2011, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its formerly wholly-owned subsidiaries, SBSI Acquisition Corp, Specialty Beverage and Supplement Inc. and Graphic Gorilla LLC. For 2012, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, MOJO Organics Operating Company, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-9
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include investment instruments, CD’s and time deposits purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. At December 31, 2012, inventories consisted entirely of raw materials.
Property and Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the Company’s assets. Computer equipment is depreciated over a period of 3 -5 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income.
Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC Topic 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740 which requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. The Company’s predecessor operated as an entity exempt from Federal and State income taxes.
ASC 740 also requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
F-10
Tax returns for the years from 2009 to 2012 are subject to examination by tax authorities.
Stock-Based Compensation
ASC Topic 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights.
ASC Topic 718 requires employee compensation expense to be recorded using the fair value method. The Company accounts for employee stock based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718. For non-employee options and warrants, the company uses the fair value method as prescribed in ASC Topic 718.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, which include accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt obligations approximate their fair values due to their short--term nature and/or variable interest rates. The Company’s debt obligations bear interest at rates which approximate prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics and, accordingly, the carrying values for these instruments approximate fair value.
The Company adopted ASC 820 which established a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used:
|
·
|
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
|
|
·
|
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
|
|
·
|
Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
|
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2012 or 2011. The Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the periods ended December 31, 2012 or 2011.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $1,603,669. At December 31, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficit of $507,223 and accumulated losses of $10,345,757 which includes accumulated losses from discontinued operations of $8,576,094. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
F-11
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. Management cannot, however, provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In connection with the Split-Off discussed in Note 1, the Company incurred a loss from discontinued operations of $5,656,954 for the year ended December 31, 2011. There were no assets or liabilities from discontinued operations at December 31, 2011.
NOTE 5 – INCOME TAX
The Company accounts for income taxes under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.
The reported provision for income tax differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to the loss before income tax as follows:

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions that limit the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards if there has been a change of ownership as described in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. A limitation under these provisions would reduce the amount of losses available to offset future taxable income of the Company. Management believes that at December 31, 2012, the Company has available for federal income tax purposes a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $655,000 expiring through the year 2032 that may be used to offset future taxable income.
F-12
NOTE 6 –RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended December 31, 2012, various expenses of the Company, including advances for operating purposes, were paid for or made by officers and shareholders of the Company. As of December 31, 2012, amounts due to related parties totaled $187,500 in notes payable. The notes bear interest at rates varying between 8% and 10% and are due on September 15, 2013. Interest expense of $5,603 was charged to operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2011, there were no loans due to or from related parties.
The notes contain a conversion feature which allows the holders, at their sole discretion, to convert some or all of the principal amount of their note outstanding into equity or debt securities issued by the Company in connection with any offering made by the Company during the period that the principal amount of the note is outstanding. The conversion terms would be identical to the offering terms.
NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Split-Off Agreement
Under the terms of the Split-Off agreement, Acquisition Sub assumed liabilities for $72,500 in professional fees for which the Company may be liable in the event that Acquisition Sub does not satisfy its obligation.
Lease Commitment
The Company entered into an office service agreement for office space for a term of 12 months effective April 16, 2012. The base monthly office fee under the agreement is $2,899. The lease was subsequently renewed for a second term ending April 2014.
Licensing Agreement
On August 15, 2012, the Company entered into a juice license agreement (“License Agreement”) with Chiquita. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Chiquita granted to the Company an exclusive license to use Chiquita’s marks in the manufacture, sale, promotion, marketing, advertising and distribution of certain fruit juice products in select containers in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York and a non-exclusive license for the other states. The term of the License Agreement is for seven years from the date the Company first invoices any customer for any of the products it sells under the License Agreement. Chiquita may terminate the License Agreement in certain situations including upon a breach of the conditions or provisions of the License Agreement by the Company, the failure by the Company to pay any royalties due to Chiquita under the License Agreement, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or upon a change in majority ownership or control of the Company that is not approved by Chiquita. Additionally, if the Company fails to attain the minimum sales volume and/or minimum royalty payments required pursuant to the License Agreement in the exclusive territory for certain periods of time, Chiquita has the right to terminate the License Agreement by written notice.

The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes valuation model. The significant assumptions considered by the model were the per share stock price, the risk free rate and the expected volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. The calculated value method using the historical volatility of the Food and Beverages industry is used as the basis for the volatility assumption.
