Item 1:  Business

Background of the Company

Our business plan is to engage in the exploration, extraction and distribution of coal.  We are currently considered to be an exploration stage company because we are engaged in the search for coal deposits and are not engaged in the exploitation of a coal deposit.   We will be in the exploration stage until we discover commercially viable coal deposits on the mining property we currently lease  or any other property that we acquire, if ever. In an exploration stage company, management devotes most of its activities to acquiring and exploring mineral properties.

Company History

MMEX Mining Corporation (the Company or “MMEX”) was formed in the State of Nevada on May 19, 2005 as Inkie Entertainment Group, Inc., for the purpose of engaging in the production, distribution and marketing of filmed entertainment products. On January 15, 2008, the Company changed its name to Quantum Information, Inc. In January 2009, the Company announced that it would transition out of the filmed entertainment products business and into the coal business. As part of that transition, on January 14, 2009, the Company sold all of its assets in exchange for the surrender to the Company of 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the assumption of all of the Company’s liabilities. The Company also changed its name to MGMT Energy, Inc. on February 5, 2009 to Management Energy, Inc. on May 28, 2009 to better reflect the Company’s business focus. On September 23, 2010, the Company, through a reverse merger, acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Maple Carpenter Creek Holdings, Inc., (“MCCH”) a Delaware Corporation, organized on October 15, 2009 as a holding Company with an 80% interest in Maple Carpenter Creek, LLC (“MCC”), which in turn owned a 95% interest in the subsidiary, Carpenter Creek, LLC (“CC”), and at the time of the merger, owned a 98.12% interest in Armadillo Holdings Group Corp. (“AHGC”), which in turn owned an 80% interest in Armadillo Mining Corp. (“AMC”). As of April 30, 2012, AHGC owned 98.6% of AMC through additional capital contributions.  The non-controlling interest of 1.88% in AHGC was subsequently acquired by MCCH on December 21, 2010 in exchange for 313,339 shares of MMEX. On February 22, 2011, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change the corporate name from Management Energy, Inc. to MMEX Mining Corporation.

Merger with Maple Carpenter Creek Holdings, Inc

On September 21, 2010, MMEX Mining Corporation, Inc entered into a merger agreement with Maple Carpenter Creek Holdings, Inc. (“MCCH”).  MCCH is engaged in the development of both thermal and metallurgical coal projects in the U.S. and Colombia.  MCCH had the following coal project interests as of the date of closing of the merger:

Under the terms of the merger agreement, MCCH merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of MMEX Mining Corporation in exchange for the issuance of 6,500,000 shares of MMEX Mining Corporation common stock to the owners of MCCH, of which 5,000,000 shares were issued on October 8, 2010 and 1,500,000 shares were presented as common stock payable.  On January 11, 2011, the Board of Directors, through a Unanimous Written Consent of the Board of Directors issued the remaining 1,500,000 in accordance with the merger agreement.  The Company reversed the subscription payable resulting in a $15,000 adjustment to common stock payable. The owners of MCCH also were granted the right to receive an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock as contingent consideration to vest on certain milestones defined in the definitive merger agreement.

Status of Previously Reported Coal Project

Hunza Project:  On January 20, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company executed an exclusive option agreement to purchase a 50% interest in C.I. Hunza Coal, Ltd. (Hunza), a Colombian limited liability corporation that holds various mining concessions in the Boyacá Province of east-central Colombia.  The coal prospects in the Hunza concessions are mid-volatility metallurgical or coking coal.  We commissioned a technical report in accordance with Canadian National Instrument (NI) 43-101 specifications.  Based on the report, the in-place coal tonnage estimate for the property is in the range of 45 to 50 million metric tons.  The Company is undertaking a drilling program and until the drilling has been performed and the results analyzed, the estimates presented herein cannot be categorized as estimates of a coal resource under the standards of the 43-101 guidelines.

The Hunza Agreement was amended by the parties thereto on each of February 2, 2012 and February 29, 2012. On Mach 9, 2012, our subsidiary Armadillo Mining Corp, Colombia (AMCC), exercised its option pursuant to the Hunza Agreement and acquired a 50% interest in Hunza.  As such, and in accordance with the Hunza Agreement, the Corporation made or had previously made the following payments:
 
·  
$5,000,000 to Black Stone Investment S.A. as an arrangement fee;
 
·  
issuance of a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $1,200,000 to Black Stone Investment S.A as an agreement fee, convertible into Common Shares at the conversion price of US$0.30 per share; and
 
·  
$2,015,559 to Hunza to be used for exploration and development of the Hunza Project.
 
The Hunza Agreement provides for the payment of $3,000,000 to Hunza upon the earlier of: (i) May 1, 2013; and (ii) 90 calendar days after the delivery of an updated technical report in respect of the work program recommended by the Technical Report to be carried out on the Hunza Project.  Failure to pay this amount will immediately result in the reduction of AMCC’s interest in Hunza from 50% to 25%.
 
In 2012, the primary operational activities of Hunza have been initiating the community relations activities in advance of the commencement of the work program to be carried out on the Hunza Project as recommended in the Technical Report.  These activities involved working with the local community leaders to understand the needs of the communities in proximity to the Hunza Project. In 2012, Hunza also initiated a transportation and logistics feasibility study for marketing of coal, an update of the initial mine plan and a marketing study for metallurgical coal. With respect to the drilling program, negotiations are underway with the sub-contractor to finalize and to mobilize the drilling operations. Hunza has also engaged a Colombian underground mining operator to develop a complete pre-feasibility and feasibility mining plan for the mine development on the Hunza Project with a Small Scale Mining Plan for extraction of up 240,000 tons per year and a Large Scale Mining Plan providing for the increase in the production to 2,400,000 tons per year over the course of seven years.  Additionally, in January and February 2012, Hunza obtained environmental and mining permits allowing for the production of up to 2,400,000 tons per year.  No mining activities have taken place on the Hunza Project in 2012.

The Coal Industry

Coal is a combustible, sedimentary, organic mineral composition, which is composed mainly of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Coal goes through the process of coalification as it matures, affecting its chemical and physical properties. There are various grades of coal, ranging from low rank coals (lignite and sub-bituminous) to hard coals (bituminous and anthracite). Bituminous coal is used as either thermal coal or coking coal, depending on its properties. The properties of the coal determine its value in the market, and include but are not limited to calorific value, sulfur, moisture and ash content.

Coal has many important uses worldwide. The most significant uses are in electricity generation, steel production, cement manufacturing and as a liquid fuel. Around 6.1 billion tons of hard coal were used worldwide last year and 1 billion tons of brown coal. Since 2000, global coal consumption has grown faster than any other fuel. The five largest coal users - China, USA, India, Russia and Japan - account for 77% of total global coal use.  Different types of coal have different uses. Steam coal - also known as thermal coal - is mainly used in power generation. Coking coal - also known as metallurgical coal - is mainly used in steel production.
 
The biggest market for coal is Asia, which currently accounts for over 65% of global coal consumption; although China is responsible for a significant proportion of this. Many countries do not have natural energy resources sufficient to cover their energy needs, and therefore need to import energy to help meet their requirements. Japan, Chinese Taipei and Korea, for example, import significant quantities of steam coal for electricity generation and coking coal for steel production.

Other important users of coal include alumina refineries, paper manufacturers, and the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Several chemical products can be produced from the by-products of coal. Refined coal tar is used in the manufacture of chemicals, such as creosote oil, naphthalene, phenol, and benzene. Ammonia gas recovered from coke ovens is used to manufacture ammonia salts, nitric acid and agricultural fertilizers. Thousands of different products have coal or coal by-products as components: soap, aspirins, solvents, dyes, plastics and fibers, such as rayon and nylon. Coal is also an essential ingredient in the production of specialist products such as:  activated carbon used in filters for water and air purification and kidney dialysis machines; carbon fiber for its light weight strength; and in silicones and saline used to make lubricants, water repellants, resins, cosmetics, hair shampoos and toothpaste.

Global Coal Supply and Demand. Global economic growth, the primary driver of energy demand, is conservatively forecasted to increase by an average of 3.2% per annum between 2002 and 2030, according to the World Coal Association (“WCA”). The world’s population is expected to increase from its current level of 6.4 billion to 8 billion by 2030, according to the United Nations’ 2004 world population prospects report. International Energy Agency (“IEA”) projections indicate that if governments continue with current energy policies, global demand for energy will increase by almost 60% by 2030, with more than two-thirds of this increase coming from developing countries.

Fossil fuels will continue to dominate energy consumption – accounting for around 85% of the increase in world primary energy demand over the next 30 years, according to the IEA. Although nuclear energy provides a significant proportion of energy in some economies, it can face very long permitting and construction cycles and private financing is difficult to find. Renewable energies are growing fast, but from a small base and, by 2030, they are still only expected to meet 14% of total energy demand, according to the IEA.
 
Because of its availability, stability and affordability, coal is a major contributor to the global energy supply, providing approximately 41% of the world’s electricity and 68% of the world’s steel output.according to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2011.
 
Coal consumption grew by 5.4% in 2011, the only fossil fuel to record above- average growth and the fastest-growing form of energy outside of renewable. Coal now accounts for 30.3% of global energy consumption, the highest share since 1969. Consumption outside the OECD rose by an above-average 8.4%, led by Chinese consumption growth of 9.7%. OECD consumption declined by 1.1% with losses in the US and Japan offsetting growth in Europe. Global coal production grew by 6.1%, with non-OECD countries accounting for virtually all of the growth and China (+8.8%) accounting for 69% of global growth according to B.P Statistical Review of World Energy June 2012.

The steel industry is a major market for coal. Coal is essential for iron and steel production. According to the WCI, approximately 64% of all steel is produced from iron made in blast furnaces that use coal. The steel industry uses metallurgical coal, which is distinguishable from other types of coal because of its high carbon content, low expansion pressure, low sulfur content and various other chemical attributes. As such, the price offered by steel makers for metallurgical coal is significantly higher than the price offered by power plants and industrial users for steam coal. Rapid economic expansion in China, India and other parts of Southeast Asia has significantly increased the demand for steel in recent years.

We believe that rapid economic expansion in developing nations, particularly China and India, has increased global demand for coal. Coal is traded worldwide and can be transported to demand centers by ship and by rail. Worldwide coal production approximated 5.9 billion tons in 2006 and 5.4 billion tons in 2005, according to the WCA. China produces more coal than any other country in the world. Historically, Australia has been the world’s largest coal exporter, exporting more than 200 million tons in each of the last three years, according to the WCA. China, Indonesia and South Africa have also historically been significant exporters in the global coal markets.  However, growing demand in China has resulted in declining coal exports and increasing coal imports. These trends have caused China to become a less significant seaborne coal supply source.
 
Colombian Coal Overview
 
Colombia has 9 identified coal basins. Coal quality ranges from Bituminous to Anthracite. Measured reserves are close to 7.8 billion tons (with additional potential of 11 billion). Most of the coal industry has focused on the easy access, high quality thermal coal in the northern part of the country. This represents the largest portion of reserves and infrastructure.  Major mining houses have concentrated on the Guajira and Cesar coal basins for large-scale operations since 1980´s. In 2009 Colombia exported 67 million tons of thermal coal, and according to EIA, Colombia was the fourth largest net coal exporter in the world in 2010.- representing about 25% of the country’s total export earnings. By 2014 Colombia projects 104 million tons of coal export. By 2025 Colombia is projected to reach 134 million tons of coal exports.
 
For metallurgical coal, Colombia presents a rare combination in that its known reserves of metallurgical coal are both relatively high quality and readily available.  While Colombia has an estimated 2 billion tons of met coal reserves, the country’s total annual production is currently only about 3 million tons.
 
Colombian coking coal and coke producing regions are mainly located in the departments of Cundinamarca, Boyacá, Santander and Norte de Santander.  Its coals have high, mid and low volatile characteristics as well as a high free swelling index categorization that makes them suitable for coke production.  The deposits thicknesses, as well as dip ratios, make the seams suitable for mechanized production.  All current production is underground and is characterized by small mines using intensive labor, rather than mechanization.

Colombia’s metallurgical coal exports began in the eighties, with 32,000t of coking coal shipped in 1983, climbing to last year’s 1.71mt of coke and 0.87mt of coking coal exports. Exports this year are expected to be 1.4mt of coke and 1.8mt of coking coal, depending on the degree to which the global economy recovers, along with met-coal demand.
 
Metallurgical coal and coke exports are less than 3% of steam coal exports in volume, but this is a growing sector. Steam coal is Colombia's second largest official export, in terms of revenues, after oil, and is expected to become the first in the next couple of years.
 
Colombian planners expect steam coal exports to double by 2019, to 145mt, as long as planned infrastructure development takes place, according to the Ministry of Mines and Energy. Combined metcoal and coke exports could reach between 5mt and 8mt in addition to the 145mt. This depends on market-based investment decisions made by coal and coke producers, especially in the development of the coal loading terminals and rail links that are needed to accomplish this growth

Development Strategy

The Corporation’s current strategy is to focus on the acquisition of metallurgical coal assets in Colombia and iron ore in Peru.
 
As MMEX continues to expand its business and implement its business strategy, its current monthly cash flow requirements will exceed its near term cash flow from operations. In order to fund the acquisition of AMCC’s 50% ownership in Hunza and its 18-month exploration program at the Hunza Project, on March 7, 2012, the Corporation completed a private placement of Common Shares to qualified South American investors for gross proceeds of approximately US$5.6 million.
 
Notwithstanding this recent private placement, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations in future periods to satisfy its capital requirements. Therefore, the Corporation will have to continue to rely on external financing activities, including the sale of equity securities, to satisfy capital requirements for the foreseeable future. Equity financings of the type the Corporation has been required to pursue are dilutive to shareholders and may adversely impact the market price of the Common Shares. However, the Corporation has no commitments for borrowings or additional sales of equity, the precise terms upon which it may be able to attract additional funding is not known at this time, and there can be no assurance that it will be successful in consummating any such future financing transactions on terms satisfactory to MMEX, or at all. See “Risk Factors”.

The following discussion and analysis constitutes forward-looking statements for purposes of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and as such involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  The words “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “believes”, “plan”, “seek”, “objective” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements or elsewhere in this report.  Important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievement to differ materially from our expectations are discussed in detail in Item 1 above.  All written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by such factors.  We undertake no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are not entitled to rely on the safe harbor for forward looking statements under 27A of the Securities Act or 21E of the Exchange Act as long as our stock is classified as a penny stock within the meaning of Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.  A penny stock is generally defined to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined in Rule 3a51-1) of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.

On May 25, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a 1 for 10 reverse stock split of its common stock.  All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of shares of common stock and loss per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements, including the notes thereto.

Overview

MMEX Mining Corporation has interests in coal prospects in Colombia, South America.  We are currently considered to be an exploration stage corporation because we are engaged in the search for coal deposits and are not engaged in the exploitation of a coal deposit.  We will be in the exploration stage until we discover commercially viable coal deposits. In an exploration stage company, management devotes most of its activities to acquiring and exploring mineral properties.

On January 20, 2011 the Company executed an exclusive option agreement to purchase a 50% interest in C.I. Hunza Coal, Ltd. (Hunza), a Colombian limited liability corporation that holds various mining concessions in the Boyacá Province of east-central Colombia. The Hunza Agreement was amended by the parties thereto on each of February 2, 2012 and February 29, 2012. On Mach 9, 2012, our subsidiary Armadillo Mining Corp, Colombia (AMCC), exercised its option pursuant to the Hunza Agreement and acquired a 50% interest in Hunza.  As such, and in accordance with the Hunza Agreement, the Corporation made or had previously made the following payments:
 
$5,000,000 to Black Stone Investment S.A. as an arrangement fee;
 
issuance of a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $1,200,000 to Black Stone Investment S.A as an agreement fee, convertible into Common Shares at the conversion price of US$0.30 per share; and
 
$2,015,559 to Hunza to be used for exploration and development of the Hunza Project.
 
The Hunza Agreement provides for the payment of $3,000,000 to Hunza upon the earlier of: (i) May 1, 2013; and (ii) 90 calendar days after the delivery of an updated technical report in respect of the work program recommended by the Technical Report to be carried out on the Hunza Project.  Failure to pay this amount will immediately result in the reduction of AMCC’s interest in Hunza from 50% to 25%.
 
Mineral Reserve Estimates

The coal prospects in the Hunza concessions are mid-volatility metallurgical or coking coal. We have commissioned a technical report in accordance with National Instrument (NI) 43-101 specifications.  Based on the report, the in-place coal tonnage estimate for the property is in the range of 45 to 50 million metric tons. The Company is undertaking a drilling program and until the drilling has been performed and the results analyzed, the estimates presented herein cannot be categorized as estimates of a coal resource under the standards of the 43-101 guidelines.

Development Strategy

Our current strategy is to focus on the acquisition of metallurgical coal assets in Colombia and iron ore assets in Peru.

As we continue to expand our business and implement our business strategy, our current monthly cash flow requirements will exceed our near term cash flow from operations. Our available cash resources and anticipated cash flow from operations are insufficient to satisfy our anticipated costs associated with new project development. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations in future periods to satisfy our capital requirements. Therefore, we will have to continue to rely on external financing activities, including the sale of our equity securities, to satisfy our capital requirements for the foreseeable future. Due, in part, to our lack of historical earnings, our prior success in attracting additional funding has been limited to transactions in which our equity is used as currency. In light of the availability of this type of financing, and the lack of alternative proposals, our board of directors has determined that the continued use of our equity for these purposes may be necessary if we are to sustain operations. Equity financings of the type we have been required to pursue are dilutive to our stockholders and may adversely impact the market price for our shares. However, we have no commitments for borrowings or additional sales of equity, the precise terms upon which we may be able to attract additional funding is not known at this time, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in consummating any such future financing transactions on terms satisfactory to us, or at all.

Results of Operations

We recorded a net loss of $6,164,266, or $.35 per share, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of $3,466,111, or $.42 per share for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011.

Revenues:

We are currently in the exploration stage and have not yet begun to generate revenues.

Exploration and development:

Exploration and development costs were $1,894 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 compared to $1,108,831 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, a decrease of $1,106,937. The decrease was due to decreased exploration of properties which contain proven resources during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 as compared to the prior year.

General and administrative:

General and administrative expenses were $662,466 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 compared to $762,372 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, a decrease of $99,906. The decrease was due to reduced activities required in the current year to acquire the Hunza prospect including reduced international travel.

Payroll and taxes:

Payroll and taxes expense was $509,347 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 compared to $532,504for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, a decrease of $23,157. The slight decrease was due to changes in administrative personnel.

Professional fees:

Professional fees expense was $1,090,174 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 compared to $1,170,959 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, a decrease of $80,785. The decrease was due to reduced need for legal, accounting, financial, and engineering services.

Depreciation and amortization:

Depreciation and amortization expense was $4,832 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 compared to $6,741 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, a decrease of $1,909. The decrease was due to the disposition of office equipment.

Net operating loss:

Net operating loss for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 was $2,268,713 or $0.13 per share compared to a net operating loss of $3,581,407 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, or $0.39 per share, a decrease of $1,312,694. The net operating loss decreased primarily due to decreased exploration costs of proven properties during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 as compared to the prior year.

Other income (expense):

Other income consisted of gain on the disposal of our two U.S. properties, Snider Ranch and Carpenter Creek. Total gain recognized was $0 for the fiscal year end April 30, 2012 compared to $2,592,023 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011.  Loss on the disposal of fixed assets was $3,652 and $11,351 for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  We reported impairment expense of $2,132,454 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 and $1,830,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011.  These were incurred on the Hunza property based on the uncertainty of recouping our investment and represents expense through the January 31, 2012 quarter.  Interest expense was $1,905,088 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 and $810,188for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011. The increase of $1,094,900 was due to debt issuance costs incurred.  We reported a loss on debt conversion of $20,385 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 and $0 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011.  We also reported loss of $12,295 on investment of property for April 30, 2012 and $0 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011.  This reflects the Company’s 50% interest in Hunza’s loss from the date the option was exercised to April 30, 2012.
 
Non-controlling interests in loss of consolidated subsidiaries:

Non-controlling interests in loss of consolidated subsidiaries represented approximately $178,321 and $174,812 of the total losses for the fiscal year ended, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Net loss:

We recorded a net loss of $6,164,266, or $.35 per share, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of $3,466,111, or $.42 per share for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, an increased net loss of $2,698,155. Net losses increased primarily as a result of our increased impairment and interest expenses as we expanded our operations to Latin America during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, partially offset by decreased development costs related to the two disposed U.S. properties.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

As we attempt to expand exploration activities and develop our international operations, we expect to continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations in amounts not now determinable, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings, preferred stock offerings, and debt borrowings to the extent necessary to provide working capital. We have and expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs. We do not now have funds sufficient to fund our operations at their current level for the next twelve months. We need to raise additional cash to fund our operations and implement our business plan. We expect that the additional financing will (if available) take the form of a private placement of equity, although we may be constrained to obtain additional debt financing in lieu thereof. We are maintaining an on-going effort to locate sources of additional funding, without which we will not be able to remain a viable entity. No financing arrangements are currently under contract, and there are no assurances that we will be able to obtain adequate financing. If we are able to obtain the financing required to remain in business, eventually achieving operating profits will require commencement of operations to generate revenues or drastically reducing expenses from their current levels or both. If we are able to obtain the required financing to remain in business, future operating results depend upon a number of factors that are outside of our control.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Future Obligations

Management projects working capital needs to be approximately $4,000,000 over the next twelve months to complete its acquisition of current mining contracts, corporate overhead, and continue as a reporting company.  Management believes that current cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to meet these anticipated capital requirements.  Such projections have been based on remaining contractual requirements and general overhead.  We will be forced to raise additional capital through the issuance of new shares, the exercise of outstanding warrants, or reduce our current overhead.  However, any projections of future cash needs and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty.  We would be required to renegotiate our current contracts until such time as necessary funds are secured.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 to our financial statements.  The following describes the general application of accounting principles that impact our consolidated financial statements.

Our results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debt, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Item 9.  Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

There have been no changes in or disagreements with our accountants on accounting and financial disclosures.

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).  Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended.  Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2012. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  We have identified the following material weaknesses:

1.  
As of April 30, 2012, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment.  Specifically, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B.  Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

2.  
As of April 30, 2012, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure.  Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements.   Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2012, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting through the date of this report or during the quarter ended July 31, 2011, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Independent Registered Accountant’s Internal Control Attestation.  This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Corrective Action. Management plans to address the structure of the Board of Directors and discuss adding an audit committee during 2012.

The Company has an employment agreement with Mr. Hanks.  (see Item 11 for further discussion of this agreement).

The Company has a consulting agreement with Bruce N.

As of April 30, 2012, no compensation has been paid but the Company has accrued $281,315 of consulting fees.

The Company has a consulting agreement with Delavega Tading, Ltd, controlled by Nabil Katabi, a Company Director, which provides for annual compensation of $180,000.  The agreement was effective February 1, 2012 and continues for a period of two years thereafter.

In December 2007, Maple Carpenter Creek, LLC distributed to its members Garb Holdings, LLC, AAM Investments, LLC, and Maple Resources Corporation, a 2% royalty interest which covered all the assets, including ultimately, the interest in its Colombian assets.  This royalty was disclosed to the prior Board of Directors of the Company before the merger, and the royalty obligation was accordingly not acquired by the Company pursuant to the terms of the merger transaction. The Company’s Officers and Directors are, directly or indirectly, majority owners of AAM Investments, LLC and Maple Resources Corporation.

On July 15, 2009, MCC entered into a loan agreement with an Irrevocable Trust, of which the Company’s CEO is the trustee. The unsecured promissory note, carried a 20% interest rate until maturity at July 15, 2010, at which time the principal interest (or $60,000), was compounded and extended under an amended agreement carrying a 10% interest that is being amortized over the extended life of the loan. The promissory note plus total accrued interest of $96,000 was paid in full on December 23, 2010.

On September 2, 2010 the Company’s subsidiary, Maple Carpenter Creek, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company entered into a distribution resolution and agreement to distribute the Snider Ranch investment property, carrying a value of $1,413,253 at the time of distribution, to its partners; Garb Holdings, LLC, AAM Investments, LLC, and Maple Resources Corporation. The Company’s Officers and Directors are directly or indirectly, majority owners of AAM Investments, LLC and Maple Resources Corporation.

On September 4, 2010, AAM Investments, LLC, and Maple Resources Corporation contributed their interest in Snider Ranch to MCCH.  The value of the contribution was $1,130,602.

On September 4, 2010, MCCH entered into an employment agreement with the Company’s CEO, Jack W. Hank for a two year term, automatically renewable for one year terms thereafter, at an annual compensation of $300,000 per year.

On December 15, 2011 the agreement was amended and restated to provide for a three year term with automatic renewable one year terms thereafter.

In connection with the closing of the merger with MCCH, our executive officers (David Walters, President and Matt Szot, Chief Financial Officer) and directors (Mr. Walters) resigned, effective September 22, 2010, and we appointed designees of MCCH (Jack W. Hanks and Bruce N. Lemons) as the new directors, all effective as of September 23, 2010. The board also named Mr. Hanks as our new President and Chief Executive Officer.

Pursuant to the merger on September 23, 2010, the Company awarded the owners of MCCH the right to receive 1,500,000 shares of common stock as contingent consideration.  The milestones are accelerated in the event the owners of MCCH are diluted below 30% in their ownership of the Company.  The milestones defined in the definitive merger agreement are as follows:

·  
250,000 shares upon the successful closing of additional equity or debt financing that will generate at least $2,000,000 in net proceeds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors
MMEX Mining Corporation
Dallas, Texas
(An Exploration Stage Company)
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of MMEX Mining Corporation (the “Company”) (an exploration stage company) as of April 30, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the twelve month periods then ended and the period from inception (May 23, 2007) through April 30, 2012. 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 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 financial position of MMEX Mining Corporation as of April 30, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statement, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On May 25, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a 1 for 10 reverse stock split of its common stock.  All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of shares of common stock and loss per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

Organization
MMEX Mining Corporation (the Company or “MMEX”) was formed in the State of Nevada on May 19, 2005 as Inkie Entertainment Group, Inc., for the purpose of engaging in the production, distribution and marketing of filmed entertainment products. On January 15, 2008, the Company changed its name to Quantum Information, Inc. In January 2009, the Company announced that it would transition out of the filmed entertainment products business and into the coal business. As part of that transition, on January 14, 2009, the Company sold all of its assets in exchange for the surrender to the Company of 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the assumption of all of the Company’s liabilities. The Company also changed its name to MGMT Energy, Inc. on February 5, 2009 and to Management Energy, Inc. on May 28, 2009 to better reflect the Company’s business focus. On September 23, 2010, the Company, through a reverse merger, acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Maple Carpenter Creek Holdings, Inc., (“MCCH”) a Delaware Corporation, organized on October 15, 2009 as a holding Company with an 80% interest in Maple Carpenter Creek, LLC (“MCC”), which in turn owns a 95% interest in the subsidiary, Carpenter Creek, LLC (“CC”), and a 98.12% interest in Armadillo Holdings Group Corp. (“AHGC”), which in turn owned at April 30, 2012 a 98.6% interest in Armadillo Mining Corp. (“AMC”). The non-controlling interest of 1.88% in AHGC was subsequently acquired by MCCH on December 21, 2010 in exchange for 31,334 shares of MMEX. On February 22, 2011, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change the corporate name from Management Energy, Inc. to MMEX Mining Corporation.

Merger with Maple Carpenter Creek Holdings, Inc
On September 21, 2010, MMEX Mining Corporation entered into a merger agreement with Maple Carpenter Creek Holdings, Inc. (“MCCH”) that closed on September 23, 2010. Under the terms of the merger agreement, MCCH merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of MMEX Mining Corporation., MCC Merger, Inc. (“MCCM”), which was formed just prior to the merger and subsequently dissolved, in exchange for the issuance of 6,500,000 shares of MMEX Mining Corporation, common stock to the owners of MCCH, of which 5,000,000 shares were issued on October 8, 2010 and 1,500,000 shares issued on January 12, 2011. The merger resulted in the owners of MCCH gaining control of MMEX Mining Corporation.  The owners of MCCH also were granted the right to receive an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock as contingent consideration to vest on certain milestones defined in the definitive merger agreement as follows:

·  
1,000,000 shares upon the closing of equity or debt financing that generates at least 2 million in net proceeds,
·  
250,000 shares upon the successful generation of $250,000 in revenue from coal sales in any fiscal quarter,
·  
250,000 shares upon the successful closing of additional equity or debt financing that will generate at least $2,000,000 in net proceeds.

For financial statement reporting purposes, the merger agreement was treated as a reverse acquisition with MCCH deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company deemed the accounting acquiree under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-10-40, Business Combinations – Reverse Acquisitions. The reverse merger is deemed a recapitalization and the consolidated financial statements reflect the assets and liabilities of MCCH recognized and measured at their carrying value before the combination and the assets and liabilities of the Company (the legal acquirer/legal parent) are measured at fair value. The carrying value of the Company’s net assets approximates fair value at the date of acquisition.  The fair value of the net assets acquired is ($70,832).  The equity structure reflects the equity structure of the Company, the legal parent, and the equity structure of MCCH, the accounting acquirer, as restated using the exchange ratios established in the merger agreement to reflect the numbers of shares of the legal parent. References to the “Company” in these notes refer to MMEX Mining Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, MCCH, as well as the subsidiaries discussed below.

As of the date of the merger agreement, MCCH was focused on the development of both thermal and metallurgical coal projects in the United States and in Colombia. MCCH had two coal project interests at the date of closing, Carpenter Creek, which was sold on March 18, 2011 for $2,248,401 and Snider Ranch, Montana which was sold on December 21, 2010 for $1,500,000.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Armadillo Group Holdings Corporation: A 78.12% ownership of Armadillo Mining Corp. (“AMC”) in Colombia. As of the date of closing of the merger, AMC had exclusive options to acquire two metallurgical coal mines in the Cundinamarca province of Colombia: (i) Caparrapi is a permitted mine with minimum production and with a resource potential of 11 million metric tons; (ii) Yacopi has resource potential of 40 million metric tons. AMC has terminated the exclusive options for the Caparrapi and Yacopi mines. On January 20, 2011, AMC acquired an option to purchase a 50% interest in a permitted and operating mine Company in Colombia producing metallurgical coal, with a potential resource of 16 million tons to 90 million tons based on existing exploration resources reports.  The agreement required an exclusivity fee of $1,400,000 that was completed on March 22, 2011, and $5,000,000 to be deposited to an exploration fund to continue the financing of an exploration and drilling program.  On February 3, 2012 the parties to the Hunza Agreement executed and delivered an amendment thereto, which, among other things, provided that:
 
(a)  
in order to exercise the option to acquire 50% of Hunza, AMCC would be required to complete the payment of exclusivity fees on or before February 29, 2012, including issuing on February 3, 2012 a $1,200,000 debenture convertible into 4,000,000 Common Shares to Black Stone Investment S.A. Black Stone Investment S.A. converted the March 2012 Debenture into 4,000,000 Common Shares in two tranches: (i) 1,794,000 Common Shares were issued on March 8, 2012; and (ii) 2,206,000 Common Shares were issued on May 1, 2012.
 
(b)  
after exercise of the option, AMCC would be obligated to fund an additional $3,000,000 upon the earlier of May 1, 2013 and 90 calendar days after the delivery of a technical report in respect of the work program to be carried out on the Hunza Project (see “The Hunza Project - Recommendations”); and
 
(c)  
AMCC would pledge one half of its interest in Hunza to secure any payment default by AMCC, which default would result in a reduction of the AMCC’s interest to 25% of Hunza.
 
Nature of Business
Our current strategy is to pursue various coal exploration projects in Colombia and expand to other minerals in other South American countries with development partners.
 
Exploration Stage Company
The Company is currently an exploration stage company. As an exploration stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the exploration stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date. The Company has incurred net losses of $16,780,717 and has used net cash in operations of $10,288,327 for the period from inception (May 23, 2007) through April 30, 2012. An entity remains in the exploration stage until such time as proven or probable reserves have been established for its deposits. Upon the location of commercially mineable reserves, the Company plans to prepare for mineral extraction and enter the development stage. To date, the exploration stage of the Company’s operations consists of contracting with geologists who sample and assess the mining viability of the Company’s claims.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements herein contain the operations of the above listed subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods as indicated. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of these financial statements. On September 21, 2010 the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MCC Merger, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), formed previous to the merger, and Maple Carpenter Creek Holdings, Inc. (“The Target Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the Merger Agreement, as closed on September 23, 2010, Acquisition Sub merged with and into the Target Company, with the Target Company remaining as the surviving corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).  Going forward, the Company will be a holding company parent of the Target Company, and the Company’s business operations following the Merger will be those of the Target Company.

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.

The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of April 30th.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its aforementioned subsidiaries. See Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (“ASC 810”) below for additional information on Non-controlling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Equity method accounting
The Company accounts for investments in properties for which it owns a voting interest and for which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financing decisions using the equity method of accounting. These investments are included in investment in property in the long-term portion of assets of the balance sheet. Equity method investments are subject to impairment testing and the Company’s proportionate share of income or loss is included in other income (expense).  During the years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized ($12,295) and $0, respectively, as a result of losses in investments in property. See Footnote 6 for further information regarding investments in properties.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment ("ASC 360-10"). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires that those assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Escrow account
At April 30, 2011, the Company reported $135,000 of short-term funds held in escrow relating to various leases sold in the Carpenter Creek sale.  The escrow fund was refunded in October 2011 resulting in a zero balance at year end April 30, 2012.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Property and equipment
Equipment is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount, and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset as follows:

 
Furniture and fixtures
5 years
Machinery and equipment
5 years
Software and hardware
5 years

Maintenance and repairs will be charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments will be capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations.

The Company will assess the recoverability of equipment by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of these assets over their remaining life can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of equipment impairment, if any, will be measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which such impairment is determined by management.

Fair value of financial instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments. The Company had no other items that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.

Advertising and promotion
All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred. No expenses were incurred for the years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Income taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

Basic and diluted loss per share
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

Stock-based compensation
The Company adopted FASB guidance on stock based compensation upon inception at April 23, 2009. Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. For the periods presented, there were no share-based payments to employees.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In December of 2004, the FASB issued a standard which applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are based on the fair value of those equity instruments.  For any unvested portion of previously issued and outstanding awards, compensation expense is required to be recorded based on the previously disclosed methodology and amounts.  Prior periods presented are not required to be restated.  The Company adopted this standard upon inception on May 23, 2007 and applied the standard using the modified prospective method.  

Issuance of Shares for Non-Cash Consideration
The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and/or services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably determinable. The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of the standards issued by the FASB.  The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined as the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete.  In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

Uncertain tax positions
Effective upon the Company’s fiscal year ended April 30, 2009, the Company adopted new standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. These standards prescribe 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. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

Various taxing authorities periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.
 
The assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.

Income or loss per share
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income or loss (available to common stockholders) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures, were exercised or converted into common stock.  For 2012 and 2011, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

Loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 17,833,979 and 8,249,856, for the years ended April 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This update clarifies the application of certain existing fair value measurement guidance and expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This update is effective on a prospective basis for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, which for the Company is January 1, 2012.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other” (ASU 2011-08). ASU 2011-08 allows a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the two-step impairment test would be performed. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and early adoption is permitted.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-18 regarding improving comparability by eliminating diversity in practice about the treatment of modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 – Receivable – Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“Subtopic 310-30”). Furthermore, the amendments clarify guidance about maintaining the integrity of a pool as the unit of accounting for acquired loans with credit deterioration.  Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30 continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions within Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors.  The amendments in this Update are effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010.  The amendments are to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements.  This ASU requires additional disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for the transfers.  Further, this ASU requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred continuous losses from operations, have an accumulated deficit of $16,780,717 and a working capital deficit of $5,591,410 at April 30, 2012, and have reported negative cash flows from operations since inception. In addition, we do not currently have the cash resources to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months, and we expect to have ongoing requirements for capital investment to implement our business plan. Finally, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which we operate.

Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through private debt and equity financing, as well as capital contributions by our subsidiaries’ partners, and we expect to continue to seek additional funding through private or public equity and debt financing.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional debt or equity capital and/or that our cash generated by our operations will be adequate to meet our needs. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On July 30, 2008, Maple Resources Corporation (“MRC”), a related party via common control from the Company’s CEO, Jack Hanks, purchased the Snider Ranch in Musselshell and Yellowstone Counties, Montana for $1,615,000. Simultaneously, MCC and MRC executed an option agreement whereby MCC became responsible for all principal and interest payments on a $1,000,000 bank note payable issued in MRC’s name in connection with its acquisition of the Snider Ranch and all other payments made by MRC to acquire the Snider Ranch. MRC had agreed that upon successful repayment of the note, it would transfer the Snider Ranch title to MCC. MCC also had issued MRC a $0.08/ton royalty from all future production generated from the Snider Ranch prospect as consideration for MRC and Jack W. Hanks, personally, guaranteeing the loan.  The expected fair value of this royalty could not readily be determined, and as such, was not recognized. The value of the property was periodically measured for impairment and $201,747 of impairment charges were recognized during the year ended, April 30, 2010. On September 2, 2010, the option to purchase the Snider Ranch was distributed to the owners of MCC and recorded as a dividend in the amount of $1,413,253. In the merger with MMEX, MCC partners, The Maple Gas Corporation and AAM Investments, LLC assigned their rights under the option agreement to the Company. Subsequently, on December 21, 2010, Maple Resources Corporation sold the Snider Ranch property located in Yellowstone and Musselshell counties, Montana, to Great Northern Properties Limited Partnership, and the Company’s subsidiary relinquished its option right to acquire this property. The net proceeds on the sale after payment of closing costs and proceeds to minority interest holders was $1,408,856.

On August 5, 2008, Maple Resource Company, a mutually owned entity under common management by the Company’s CEO, Jack Hanks, received a promissory note in the original principal balance of $1,000,000, a mutually owned company of the CEO, Jack Hanks, and assigned to Carpenter Creek, LLC, along with the investment in property, which carried a 7% interest rate, matured on August 11, 2013, and was secured by an investment in the Snider Ranch property.  The balance of the note of $793,546 which included some accrued interest was paid in full on the sale of Snider Ranch on December 21, 2010.

During the period from May 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010, Tydus Richards, the former Chairman of our board of directors and shareholder, made payments totaling $71,700 on behalf of the Company. The Company reimbursed Mr. Richards $8,700 on September 3, 2009 and the remaining balance of $63,000 was outstanding as of April 30, 2010. During the first and second quarter of the current fiscal year, Mr. Richards made additional payments totaling $7,633 on behalf of the Company. On May 12, 2010, the Company reimbursed an additional $39,000 of the balance and the remaining balance of $31,633 remains outstanding.

On July 15, 2009, MCC entered into a loan agreement with an Irrevocable Trust, of which the Company’s CEO is the trustee. The unsecured promissory note, carried a 20% interest rate until maturity at July 15, 2010, at which time the principal interest (or $60,000), was compounded and extended under an amended agreement carrying a 10% interest that is being amortized over the extended life of the loan. The promissory note plus total accrued interest of $96,000 was paid in full on December 23, 2010.

On September 2, 2010 the Company’s subsidiary, Maple Carpenter Creek, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company entered into a distribution resolution and agreement to distribute the Snider Ranch investment property, carrying a value of $1,413,253 at the time of distribution, to its partners; Garb Holdings, LLC, AAM Investments, LLC, and Maple Resources Corporation. The Company’s Officers and Directors are majority owners of AAM Investments, LLC and Maple Resources Corporation.

On September 4, 2010, AAM Investments, LLC, and Maple Resources Corporation contributed their interest in Snider Ranch to MCCH.  The value of the contribution was $1,130,602.

On September 4, 2010, MCCH entered into an employment agreement with the Company’s CEO, Jack W. Hank for a two year term, automatically renewable for one year terms thereafter, at an annual compensation of $300,000 per year.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
On September 4, 2010, MCCH entered into a consulting agreement with Bruce N. Lemons, one of the Company’s two directors, for a two year term, automatically renewable for one year terms thereafter, at an annual compensation of $170,000 per year.

In connection with the closing of the merger with MCCH, our executive officers (David Walters, President and Matt Szot, Chief Financial Officer) and directors (Mr. Walters) resigned, effective September 22, 2010, and we appointed designees of MCCH (Jack W. Hanks and Bruce N. Lemons) as the new directors, all effective as of September 23, 2010. The board also named Mr. Hanks as our new President and Chief Executive Officer.

Starting on October 13, 2010 and at various times through January 31, 2011, the Company’s Director Bruce N. Lemons advanced the Company a total of $25,800.  On February 1, 2011, the advance was converted into a promissory note that carried a 25% interest rate, matured on January 27, 2012 and was convertible into the Company’s common stock at the holders’ option at $0.10 per common share.  The promissory note plus interest of $32,250 was paid in full on March 23, 2011. In addition, the Company issued 32.250 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the time of repayment of the note equal to one warrant shares for every dollar value of the principal and interest, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share on or before three years from the repayment or conversion date.

On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreements with unaffiliated investors and with each of The Maple Gas Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Maple Resources Corporation, which is 100% owned by the Company’s CEO, an Irrevocable Trust, of which the Company’s CEO is the trustee, and BNL Family Partners of which one of the Company’s Directors, Bruce N.

NOTE 6 – INVESTMENT IN PROPERTY

On July 30, 2008, Maple Resources Corporation (“MRC”), a related party via common control from the Company’s CEO, Jack Hanks, purchased the Snider Ranch in Musselshell and Yellowstone Counties, Montana for $1,615,000. Simultaneously, MCC and MRC executed an option agreement whereby MCC became responsible for all principal and interest payments on a $1,000,000 bank note payable issued in MRC’s name in connection with its acquisition of the Snider Ranch and all other payments made by MRC to acquire the Snider Ranch. MRC has agreed that upon successful repayment of the note, it will transfer the Snider Ranch title to MCC. MCC also has issued MRC a $0.08/ton royalty from all future production generated from the Snider Ranch prospect as consideration for MRC and Jack W. Hanks, personally, guaranteeing the loan.  The expected fair value of this royalty could not readily be determined, and as such, was not recognized. The value of the property was periodically measured for impairment and $201,747 of impairment charges were recognized during the year ended, April 30, 2010. On September 2, 2010, the option to purchase the Snider Ranch was distributed to the owners of MCC and recorded as a dividend in the amount of $1,413,253. In the merger with MMEX, MCC partners, The Maple Gas Corporation and AAM Investments, LLC assigned their rights under the option agreement to the Company. Subsequently, on December 21, 2010, Maple Resources Corporation sold the Snider Ranch property located in Yellowstone and Musselshell counties, Montana, to Great Northern Properties Limited Partnership, and the Company’s subsidiary relinquished its option right to acquire this property.

On January 20, 2011, AMC acquired an option to purchase a 50% interest in a permitted and operating mine company in Colombia, the Hunza lease, producing metallurgical coal, with a potential resource of 16 million tons to 90 million tons based on existing exploration resources reports.  The agreement required an exclusivity fee of $1,400,000 that was completed on March 22, 2011, and $5,000,000 to be deposited to an exploration fund to continue the financing of an exploration and drilling program.  On February 3, 2012 the Company executed and delivered an amendment to the Hunza option agreement which, among other items, provides that:

·  
In order to exercise the option to acquire 50% of Hunza, the Company would be required to complete the payment of exclusivity fees on or before February 29, 2012, including issuing a $1.2 million note convertible into 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  On March 8, 2012, $538,200 of the note was converted into 1,794,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

·  
After exercise of the option, the Company would be obligated to fund an additional $3.0 million upon the earlier of May 1, 2013 or 90 days after the completion of the technical resources report which will be commissioned by Hunza.

·  
The Company would pledge one half of its interest in Hunza to secure any payment default by the Company, which default would result in a reduction of the Company’s interest to 25% of Hunza.

As a result of the acquisition of the 50% interest in Hunza, the board of directors and operating committee of Hunza consist of four members in total: two members from the Company; namely, Jack Hanks (CEO) and Nabil Katabi (Director).  The other two members of the board of directors and operating committee are non-related party to MMEX and jointly own the other 50% interest in Hunza and are themselves, brothers, and therefore, related party to each other (the “Original Shareholders).  The Original Shareholders have the right to, in the occurrence of a deadlock between themselves and the two board members from the Company, repurchase the 50% ownership from the Company at its fair value.  The Company does not have primary control over the Original Shareholders or Hunza.

On March 8, 2012, the final exclusivity payment of $3,600,000 was made with an additional $700,000 payment to the exploration fund, for a total of $2,015,559 contributed to the exploration fund, the Hunza purchase was completed.

During the course of fiscal years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, impairments of $932,343 and $1,830,000 were taken due to the fact that it was uncertain whether or not the Company would be able to purchase the option to own 50% of Hunza.  During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, the Company did obtain the option with the final payment of $3,600,000 of cash and exercised it with the final payment of $700,000.  In addition, the Company obtained a valuation report from an independent contractor, as well as a feasibility report, indicating that production and exploration of Hunza is probable and economical.  The Company considered whether impairment of the payments made during the fourth quarter was necessary, but determined that based upon the information contained within the two reports received, that the investment bears value to the Company that exceeded the cash amounts paid during the fourth quarter, in addition to the future cash payment of $3,000,000 expected to be paid within the next twelve months.

The Company has capitalized the $3,600,000 exclusivity payment, $3,000,000 payable due, and the $700,000 exploration fund payments as investment in the property and will report income and loss from the investment by the equity method of accounting.

Valuation Assumptions

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model in determining its option expense.  The weighted-average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 was $0.23 per share.  There were 2,000,000 options granted during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012.  The ranges of assumptions used during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 are as follows:
 
   
April 30, 2012 Employee Options
 
Expected volatility
    294 %
Risk-free interest rate
    0.85 %
Forfeiture rate
    0 %
Expected dividend rate
    0 %
Expected life (yrs)
    5.75  
         

The expected volatility is based on the weighted average of the historical volatility of the Company’s stock.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon published interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the Company’s employee stock options.

The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history of not paying dividends and no future expectations of dividend payouts.

The expected life of the stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and was determined based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior as influenced by changes to the terms of its stock-based awards.
Warrants

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company issued vested warrants totaling 31,249,220 and 1,456,125, respectively to non-employees.   These warrants were valued using a Black Scholes Model and the amounts were recorded as either debt discounts or stock-based compensation.

Expense Information

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to non-employees based upon estimated fair values.  The Company recorded stock-based compensation in operating expenses for non-employees of $1,401,143 and $553,578 for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Merger Agreement

Pursuant to the merger on September 23, 2010, the Company awarded the owners of MCCH the right to receive 1,500,000 shares of common stock as contingent consideration to vest on certain milestones defined in the definitive merger agreement as follows:

·  
1,000,000 shares upon the closing of equity or debt financing that generates at least 2 million in net proceeds,
·  
250,000 shares upon the successful generation of $250,000 in revenue from coal sales in any fiscal quarter,
·  
250,000 shares upon the successful closing of additional equity or debt financing that will generate at least $2,000,000 in net proceeds.

On September 13, 2011, the Board of Directors determined that the first $2,000,000 milestone had been met and approved the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of merger consideration, equally to AAM Investments, LLC, affiliated with one of the Company’s Directors, Bruce N. Lemons, and the Maple Gas Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Maple Resources Corporation, which is 100% owned by the Company’s CEO, Jack Hanks.

On April 26, 2012, the Board of Directors determined that the remaining milestones and acceleration regarding the Merger Agreement had been reached and the Corporation issued the remaining 500,000 shares of merger consideration, equally to AAM Investments, LLC, affiliated with one of the Company’s Directors, Bruce N.

After exercise of the Hunza option, the Company is obligated to fund an additional $3.0 million upon the earlier of May 1, 2013 or 90 days after the completion of the technical resources report which will be commissioned by Hunza. The Company pledged one half of its interest in Hunza as collateral; therefore, any payment default by the Company will result in a reduction of the Company’s interest to 25% of Hunza.

Legal

There were no legal proceedings against the Company.

The Company had various lease agreements associated with its interests in the Snider Ranch and Carpenter Creek prospects in Montana.  Upon sale of each of those prospects, outstanding lease payments were negotiated and paid from proceeds on the sale.

Lease expense was $0 and $1,108,831 for the years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTE 14 – INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with standards of disclosure propounded by the FASB, and any related interpretations of those standards sanctioned by the FASB.  Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as a consideration of net operating loss and credit carry forwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for the period in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income.  A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

No provision for income taxes has been recorded due to the net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $4,694,327 as of April 30, 2012 that will be offset against future taxable income.  The available net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $4,694,327 expire in various years through 2030.  No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry forwards will expire unused.  There were no uncertain tax positions taken by the Company.

Deferred tax asset and the valuation account is as follows:

NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, "Subsequent Events," which is included in ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. ASC Topic 855 established principles and requirements for evaluating and reporting subsequent events and distinguishes which subsequent events should be recognized in the financial statements versus which subsequent events should be disclosed in the financial statements. ASC Topic 855 also requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events are evaluated by management. ASC Topic 855 was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and applies prospectively. Because ASC Topic 855 impacts the disclosure requirements, and not the accounting treatment for subsequent events, the adoption of ASC Topic 855 did not impact the Company's results of operations or financial condition.  In connection with preparing the accompanying financial statements for the years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, management evaluated subsequent events through the date that such financial statements were issued.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
In February 2010, the FASB amended its guidance on subsequent events to remove the requirement for SEC filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, for both issued and revised financial statements. This amendment alleviates potential conflicts between the FASB’s guidance and the reporting rules of the SEC. Our adoption of this amended guidance, which was effective upon issuance, had no effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. 

On May 1, the Company issued the balance of The Maple Gas Corporation’s 245,126 shares, and AAM Investments, LLC’s 24,525 shares mentioned in the April 26, 2012 above.  The total 269,651 shares were issued at The Maple Gas Corporation and AMM Investments, LLC’s request to DelaVega Trading Ltd, an entity controlled by Nabil Katabi.
