UMED COMPANY HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2015
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

UMED Holdings, Inc. (“UMED” or the “Company”) was organized on March 13, 2002 under the laws of the State of Texas as Dynalyst Manufacturing Corporation.  On August 18, 2009, in connection with a merger with Universal Media Corporation, a privately held Nevada company, the Company changed its name to Universal Media Corporation (“Universal Media”).  The company changed its name to UMED Holdings, Inc. on March 23, 2011.
 
UMED’s mission is to operate as a holding company through the acquisition of businesses as wholly-owned subsidiaries that meet some key requirements: (1) solid management that will not have to be replaced in the near future (2) the ability to grow with steady growth to follow and (3) an emphasis on emerging core industry markets, such as energy, metals and agriculture.  It is the Company’s intention to add experienced personnel and select strategic partners to manage and operate the acquired business units.  
 
In September 2010, UMED has acquired 1,440 acres of placer mining claims on Bureau of Land Management land in Mohave County, Arizona. See discussion in Note 3.

In October 2011, UMED has acquired a 49% interest in Jet Regulators, LP, an aircraft maintenance company located at Meacham Field in Fort Worth, Texas.  See discussion in Note 5.
 
In May 2012, the Company acquired 80% of Mamaki Tea & Extract of Hawaii, Inc. (nka Mamaki of Hawaii, Inc.) which owns and operates Wood Valley Plantation a 25 acre Mamaki Tea plantation located in the Kau district of the Big Island and lies at the foot of Mauna Loa, the Earth’s largest volcano.   On December 31, 2012, we acquired the remaining 20% for 500,000 shares of restricted common stock and $127,800 of cash.

In August 2012, the Company acquired 100% of Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc., which owns proprietary technology that is capable of converting natural gas to diesel/jet fuels. 

The Company’s year-end is December 31.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

Principles of Consolidation

Going Concern Uncertainties

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statement, the Company has incurred a deficit of $7,297,295 as of March 31, 2015. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations or on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. Management believes that its current and future plans enable it to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
 
To meet these objectives, the Company continues to seek other sources of financing in order to support existing operations and expand the range and scope of its business. However, there are no assurances that any such financing can be obtained on acceptable terms and timely manner, if at all.  The failure to obtain the necessary working capital would have a material adverse effect on the business prospects and, depending upon the shortfall, the Company may have to curtail or cease its operations.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company have to curtail operations or be unable to continue in existence.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Property & Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Major additions and improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of equipment retired or sold are removed from the accounts and any differences between the undepreciated amount and the proceeds from the sale are recorded as a gain or loss on sale of equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows.


Buildings
20 years
Mamaki bushes
15 years
Equipment
5 to 7 years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We assess the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.”  An asset or asset group is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset or asset group is expected to generate.  If an asset or asset group is considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value.  If estimated fair value is less than the book value, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recognized.

Revenue Recognition

The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arraignments (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing 605-25 on the Company's financial position and results of operations was not significant.


 
5

 
 
Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reported period.  Actual results could differ materially from the estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalent

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2015, cash consists of a checking account and money market account held by financial institutions.

Segment Information

ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting.  The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.  The Company determined that is has one operating segment, Mamaki of Hawaii, in addition to its corporate activities as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Mine Exploration and Development Costs

The Company accounts for mine exploration costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 932, Extractive Activities.  All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Mine development costs are capitalized until production, other than production incidental to the mine development process, commences and are amortized on a units of production method based on the estimated proven and probable reserves. Mine development costs represent costs incurred in establishing access to mineral reserves and include costs associated with sinking or driving shafts and underground drifts, permanent excavations, roads and tunnels. The end of the development phase and the beginning of the production phase takes place when construction of the mine for economic extraction is substantially complete. Coal extracted during the development phase is incidental to the mine’s production capacity and is not considered to shift the mine into the production phase. Amortization of capitalized mine development is computed based on the estimated life of the mine and commences when production, other than production incidental to the mine development process, begins.  Through March 31, 2015, the Company had not incurred any mine development costs.
 
Mine Properties

The Company accounts for mine properties in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 930, Extractive Activities-Mining.  Costs of acquiring mine properties are capitalized by project area upon purchase of the associated claims.  Mine properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value. The Company had 1,440 acres of placer mining claims as of March 31, 2015, which were acquired in December 2010 in exchange for 5,066,000 shares of common stock valued at a nominal $100,000.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes," which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements.  The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
 
 
 
6

 
 
Net Loss Per Share, basic and diluted

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10) specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earning per share information. Basic loss per share has been computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Shares issuable upon conversion of the notes payable and exercise of warrants has been excluded as a common stock equivalent in the diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive on the computation.

Derivative Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.  They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.

If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.

The Company has not engaged in any derivative transactions or hedging activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Original Issue Discount

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount (“OID”).  An OID is the difference between the original cash proceeds and the amount of the note upon maturity. The Note is originally recorded for the proceeds received. The OID is expensed into interest expense pro-rata over the term of the Note, and upon maturity, the Note shall equal the proceeds due.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments, as defined by Accounting Standard Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instrument (“ASC 825-10), include cash, accounts payable and convertible note payable.  All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at March 31, 2015.
 
 FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2015. The Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period ended March 31, 2015.


 
7

 
 
Stock Based Compensation

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires that all share-based payments to both employees and non-employees be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.  

As of March 31, 2015, the Company did not have any issued or outstanding stock options.

Concentration and Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions.  At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

Research and Development

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $72,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and $462,975 from March 13, 2002 (date of inception) through March 31, 2015. 
 
Accounting for Business Combinations

We use the acquisition method of accounting under the authoritative guidance on business combinations. Each acquired company’s operating results are included in our consolidated financial statements starting on the date of acquisition. The purchase price is equivalent to the fair value of consideration transferred. Tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is recognized for the excess of purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Contingent consideration, which is primarily based on the business achieving certain performance targets, is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date, and changes in fair value are recognized in earnings until settled. No such changes have been recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014.   The fair value of the contingent consideration is based on our estimations of future performance of the business and is determined based on level two observable inputs.

Issuance of Common Stock

The issuance of common stock for other than cash is recorded by the Company at management's estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired or services rendered.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”), which was formerly known as SFAS 168. ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative
 


 
8

 
 
U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants.  All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority.  The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and all other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts.  Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right.  ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis of conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.

 Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

On September 18, 2014, the Company issued a $154,000 convertible promissory note bearing interest at 10.0% per annum to an accredited investor, payable on or before July 18, 2015, in monthly installments of $31,600 plus accrued interest beginning 6 months after the date of this promissory note.  The convertible promissory note may be converted into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 70% of the average of the 3 lowest volume weighted average trading prices during the 20 day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date.  Trading price means the closing bid price on the OTC Market Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board Pink Sheets.

If any portion of the principal or accrued interest on this convertible debenture is not paid within ten (10) days of when it is due, the note shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to the note holder in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to that can reach as much as 60% of the outstanding balance and 22% interest calculated from the date of default.

The Company shall have the right to prepay the principle and accrued interest of the convertible promissory note at 125% multiplied by the then outstanding balance of principle and accrued interest.    The Company evaluated the terms of the convertible note in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and concluded that the Convertible Note did not result in a derivative. The Company evaluated the terms of the convertible note and concluded that there was a beneficial conversion feature since the convertible note was convertible into shares of common stock at a discount to the market value of the common stock. The discount related to the beneficial conversion feature on the note was valued at $154,000 based on intrinsic value. The discount related to the beneficial conversion feature ($23,346) is being amortized over the term of the debt (10 months).  For the period ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized $7,005 of interest expense related to the amortization of the discount.

In connection with the issuance of the $158,000 note discussed above, the Company incurred debt issue costs as follows:
 
 
10.4% cash – which is equivalent to $16,500, and
 
8% warrants – having a fair value of $89,568, which was computed as follows;
 
   
Commitment Date
 
Expected dividends
   
0%
 
Expected volatility
   
209%
 
Expected term: conversion feature
 
5 years
 
Risk free interest rate
   
1.20%
 
 
The debt issue costs have been capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the note.

Amortization of debt issue costs for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 23,754.  Net debt issue costs at March 31, 2015 was $31,673.

The original issue discount pertains to discount taken by lender against the total convertible note of $158,000, resulting in a disbursement of $144,000 to the company.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company amortized $3,471 in debt discount.

The change in the valuation allowance was $566,995 and $2,685,346 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively.  The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset for the loss from operations, interest expense, interest income and other income subsequent to the change in ownership, which amounted to $7,296,795 and $6,729,800 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. 

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, historical taxable income including available net operating loss carry forwards to offset taxable income, and projected future taxable income in making this assessment.

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS

Employment Agreements

In September 2011, the Company entered into employment agreements with its chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer.  The Agreements are for a term of 5 years with compensation of $180,000 the first year, $240,000 the second year, $300,000 the third year, $350,000 the fourth year and the fifth year at a salary commensurate with those in similar industries.  The employment agreements also provide for the officers to received 1,250,000 shares of restricted common stock annually for each year of the employment agreement.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, with consent of management, the Company accrued a total of $135,000 and $135,000, respectively, as management fees in accordance with the terms of these agreements.

Leases

The Company is committed on a lease for 3,500 square feet of office space on a month-to-month basis at $6,400 per month. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company accrued $19,200, respectively, in rent expense.

Legal

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results


NOTE 14 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The accounting standards for reporting information about operating segments define operating segments as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how allocate resources and in assessing performance.  The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer.  The Company is organized by line of business.

While the Chief Executive Officer evaluates results in a number of different ways, the line of business management structure is the primary basis for which the allocation of resources and financial results are assessed.  Under aforementioned criteria, the Company operates in one reporting segment and corporate activities.

Mamaki of Hawaii is the reporting segment that derives its income from the sale of mamaki tea.



 
14

 
 
The information provided below is obtained from internal information that is provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker for the purpose of corporate management.  The Company uses operating income (loss) to measure segment performance.  The Company does not allocate corporate interest income and expense, income taxes, other income and expenses related to corporate activity or corporate expense for management and administrative services to its reporting segment.  Because of this unallocated income and expense, the operating income (loss) of the reporting segment does not reflect the operating income (loss) the reporting segment would report as a stand-alone business and therefore we do not present indirect operating expenses.

The table below illustrates the Company’s results for the reporting segment for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

Some of the statements made in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the reform act. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of the terminology such as may, will, expect, anticipate, intend, believe, estimate, should or continue or the negatives of these terms or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. To the extent that this report contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects or any other aspect of our business, you should be aware that our actual financial condition, operating results and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by us in the forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify, in context, some of the factors that we currently believe may cause actual future experience and results to differ from their current expectations. These differences may be caused by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, adverse economic conditions, intense competition, including entry of new competitors, inability to obtain sufficient financing to support our operations, progress in research and development activities, variations in costs, fluctuations in foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar in countries where we source products, adverse federal, state and local government regulation, unexpected costs, lower sales and net income (or higher net losses, than forecasted), price increases for equipment, inability to raise prices, failure to obtain new customers, the possible fluctuation and volatility of our operating results and financial condition, inability to carry out marketing and sales plans, loss of key executives and other specific risks that may be alluded to in this report.

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report, which have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, and in conjunction with our Annual Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2015.  As discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, our recurring net losses and inability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations and sustain our operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans concerning these matters are also discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including information with respect to our plans, intentions and strategies for our businesses. Our actual results may differ materially from those estimated or projected in any of these forward-looking statements.

Overview

UMED Holdings, Inc. (“UMED”) was originally incorporated as Dynalyst Manufacturing Corporation (“Dynalyst”) under the laws of the State of Texas on March 13, 2002.  On September 7, 2006, Dynalyst Manufacturing Corporation amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized number of common shares from Twenty Million (20,000,000) to Seventy Five Million (75,000,000) shares and authorized Twenty Five Million (25,000,000) shares of preferred stock.

In connection with the merger with Universal Media Corporation (“UMC”), a Nevada corporation, on August 17, 2009, the company changed its name to Universal Media Corporation.   The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger, and Universal Media Corporation is the acquiring company on the basis that Universal Media Corporation’s senior management became the entire senior management of the merged entity and there was a change of control of Dynalyst.  While the transaction is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in substance the transaction was a recapitalization of Dyanlyst’s capital structure.  In connection with the merger, Dynalyst issued 57,500,000 restricted common shares to stockholders of Universal Media Corporation for 100% of Universal Media Corporation.

On August 18, 2009, Dynalyst approved the amendment of its Articles of Incorporation and filed with the Texas Secretary of State to change the Company’s name to Universal Media Corporation and approved the increase in authorized shares to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 and 20,000,000 shares of preferred, par value $.0001.

In August 2012, UMED acquired Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc., filed a patent application, and is conducting research on Gas-to-Liquid (“GTL”) technology.  The Technology is based upon the Fischer-Tropsch (“FT”) conversion system that has been operational in various locations throughout the world since the early 1930s.  Thousands of FT systems have operated during the last 80 years, being most notably responsible for driving energy economies of wartime Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.  More recently, and for a more sustained period, FT has been responsible for providing much of the motive energy required to meet the needs of the Republic of South Africa, a country recognized as having pushed FT technology much further than any other nation since the development of the process.

Greenway’s research has been centered on developing a portable production-scale FT system (“the Portable Technology”) to accommodate the needs of smaller gas plays that are increasingly beginning to characterize natural gas production within the US and elsewhere.  The Company is currently seeking funding of $30- $35 million to build the initial (2,000 BPD) GTL unit near an existing pipeline.
 
The Company has decided to proceed with the building of proto-type at a local entity in conjunction with a sponsored research agreement.

Mining Interest

In December 2010, UMED acquired the rights to approximately 1,440 acres of placer mining claims in Mohave County, Arizona for 5,066,000 shares of restricted common stock.  Early indications, from samples taken and processed, gives the Company reason to believe that the potential recovery value of the metals located on is significant, but actual mining and processing will determine the ultimate value realized.  The Company is currently seeking funding of $2,000,000 to begin certified assaying, development of a mining plan and the exploration/mining process.


Mamaki Tea Farm

On May 2, 2012, the Company acquired 80% of Mamaki of Hawaii, Inc. (formerly Mamaki Tea & Extract, Inc.), a Nevada corporation in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock and $150,000 in cash.  On December 31, 2012, the Company acquired the remaining 20% of Mamaki of Hawaii, Inc. for 500,000 shares of its restricted common stock and $127,000 in cash.   The Company is currently seeking funding of $5,000,000 for operations, marketing and additional acreage.

Technology Systems Services

In August 2012, the Company acquired 50% of Rig Support Group, Inc., (nka Logistix Technology Systems, Inc.) which is developing a unique and valuable technology and asset management Tool for the Oil and Gas Industry for 100,000 shares of restricted common stock.  In February 2013, we acquired the remaining 50% for 500,000 shares of restricted common stock.  This tool is expected to provide independent rig owners and operating companies the ability to more accurately view and report on drilling operations; and allow for a more streamlined approach to processing purchase orders, receiving parts, saving dollars; and ensuring increased efficiency by significantly decreasing rig down-time due to mechanical break-downs.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  We incurred net losses of $566,995 and $465,974 respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 and had an accumulated deficit of $7,297,295 as of March 31, 2015.  We have managed our liquidity during the three months ended March 31, 2015 through the sale of common stock, shareholder advances and notes payable.

The Company is currently evaluating strategic alternatives that include the following: (i) raising of new capital, or (ii) issuance of debt instruments.  This process is ongoing and may be lengthy and has inherent costs.  There can be no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any specific action to alleviate the Company’s 12 month working capital needs or result in any other transaction.

We project that approximately $45,000,000 of capital will be needed for all aspects of our business development. We project a need of $30 - $35 million to build the first portable GTL Unit, $5,000,000 to develop our Mamaki Tea operations, $2,000,000 for our mining exploration plan, and $3,000,000 for general and administration.   Further, until there is a fuller assessment of the mining property, we cannot determine the capital requirements and our operating budgets, if it is decided to pursue full exploration and development. We also will be subject to environmental expenses in connection with these activities.  We will also have the expense of maintaining and defending any patents obtained, our claims, and seeking further patents and claims to be able to garner enough area to make our operations more viable, once we have shown appropriate mineral deposits present in our claims, if at all.  After building the first GTL Unit and determining the commercialability of the mining claims, we will need substantial capital to build additional GTL Units, develop the mining claims, acquire plant and equipment and hire personnel.

We intend to seek equity and revenue participation forms of capital. We do not believe that debt financing is available to the company at this time, partly because we do not have any earnings with which to support debt service or maintain typical debt covenants. We have no firm arrangements for any capital at this time.  Additionally, equity capital for small companies generally and small companies in the oil and gas and mining segments in particular, have a difficult time competing for investors because of the high risk at this stage of development and the fact that the investment is long term.  The market for the transportation fuel and metals that the company believes may be derived from the GTL Units and from its mining claims also influences investment decisions, such that if there is strong demand, then funds may be relatively more available, but if market demand is not strong or the price of transportation fuels and the metals declines, funding may be unavailable. Additionally, the capital demands of the oil and gas industries present competition for funds for companies in the metals segment.  The failure to obtain the necessary working capital would have a material adverse effect on the business prospects and, depending upon the shortfall, the Company may have to curtail or cease its operations.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The general business strategy of the Company is to first develop the mamaki tea farm to provide the source of revenue to maintain the Company’s viability, while seeking capital to construct the first portable GTL Unit and explore and research its existing mining leases properties.  As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statement, the Company has incurred a cumulative deficit of $7,297,295 and $6,730,300 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations.

Commitments

Employment Contracts
 
In May 2011, the Company entered into employment agreements with its chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer.  The Agreements are for a term of 5 years with compensation of $180,000 the first year, $240,000 the second year, $300,000 the third year, $350,000 the fourth year and the fifth year at a salary commensurate with those in similar industries.  The employment agreements also provide for the officers to received 1,250,000 shares of restricted common stock annually for each year of the employment agreement.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, with the consent of management, the Company accrued a total of $135,000 and $135,000, respectively, as management fees in accordance with the terms of these agreements.

Mining Leases
 
The Company’s minimum commitment for 2015 is approximately $11,000 in annual maintenance fees, which are due September 1, 2015.  Once the company enters the production phase, royalties owed to the BLM are equal to 10% of production.
 
Financing
 
The Company’s financing has been provided by advances from shareholders and by issuing shares of its common stock in various private placements to related parties and individuals.  



 
20

 
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of March 31, 2015, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements, unconsolidated subsidiaries and commitments or guaranties of other parties.

Going Concern

Our financial statements include a statement that unless, we obtain financing or generate revenues, there is substantial concern that we will be able to continue as a going concern.  We do not have any current firm prospects for obtaining financing and as part of our business plan we intend to seek operational capital to continue the development of the mamaki tea farm and maintain our operations.   Our most immediate source of generating revenues is the mamaki tea farm.  Without a short term source of revenue, we may not be able to continue with our business plan and have to curtail our operations and any growth activities.

To date, we have financed our operations from the sale of restricted common stock and advances from shareholders.

The Company believes that the effect of inflation has not been material during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s critical accounting policies are identified in the Company’s Annual Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2015 in   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations   under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies.” There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable for small reporting company.

Item 4T: Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal  control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)  promulgated under the Exchange  Act as a process  designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's  principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and  includes those policies and procedures that:

pertain to the  maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the assets of the company;
   
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles, and that receipts and expenditures  of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
   
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of  unauthorized  acquisition,  use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


 
21

 
 
In March 2015, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in "Internal Control -- Integrated Framework," issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission.  Based upon this assessment, we determined that there are material weaknesses affecting our internal control over financial reporting.

The  matters  involving  internal  controls  and  procedures  that our management considers to be material weaknesses under COSO and SEC rules are: (1) lack of a functioning  audit committee and lack of independent  directors on our board of  directors,  resulting in potentially ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;  (2) inadequate segregation of  duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting  and financial reporting with respect to the requirements  and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements;  and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting  processes.  The aforementioned potential material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Financial Officer in connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of March 31, 2015 who communicated the matters to our management and board of directors.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an effect on our financial results.   However, the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of independent directors on our board of directors resulting in potentially ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, can impact our financial statements.

Management's Remediation Initiatives
 
Although we are unable to meet the standards under COSO because of the limited funds available to a company of our size, we are committed to improving our financial organization. As funds become available, we will undertake to: (1) create a position to segregate duties  consistent with control  objectives,  (2) increase our personnel resources and technical  accounting  expertise within the accounting  function (3) appoint one or more  outside  directors to our board of directors  who shall be appointed to a Company  audit  committee  resulting in a fully  functioning  audit  committee  who will  undertake  the  oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required  internal controls and procedures;  and (4) prepare and implement  sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial  reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

We will  continue to monitor and  evaluate  the  effectiveness  of our internal controls and procedures and our  internal  control  over  financial reporting on an ongoing  basis and are  committed to taking  further  action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements,  as necessary and as funds allow.  However, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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.  Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks.


Part II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results
