During February 2015 the Company granted 100,000 options to consultants for services. The right to exercise these options shall vest and become exercisable following September 30, 2015. The exercise price is $0.30 per share.

The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the assumptions noted as follows: expected volatility was based on historical trading in the company's stock. The expected term of options granted was determined using the simplified method under SAB 107 and represents one-half the exercise period. The risk-free rate is calculated using the U.S. Treasury yield curve, and is based on the expected term of the option. The Company has estimated there will be no forfeitures.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used with the following weighted average assumptions for options granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2015:

Risk-free interest rate 1% - 2%

Expected option life 5 – 6 years

Expected volatility 300%

Expected dividend yield 0.0%

The exercise price equal to the current fair market value per share on the date of grant and will expire ten years from the grant date, unless terminated earlier as provided by the Warrant Agreements.

The Black-Scholes warrant pricing model was used with the following weighted average assumptions for options granted during the nine months ended June 30th, 2015:

Risk-free interest rate 2.53%

Expected life 10 years

Expected volatility 300%

Expected dividend yield 0.0%

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

 

The following  plan  of  operation  provides  information  which  management  believes  is  relevant  to  an assessment  and  understanding  of  our  results  of  operations  and  financial  condition.   The  discussion  should  be  read along  with  our  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto.    This  section  includes  number  of  forward-looking  statements  that  reflect  our  current  views  with  respect  to  future  events  and  financial  performance.    Forward-looking  statements  are  often  identified  by  words  like  believe,  expect,  estimate, anticipate,  intend,  project  and  similar  expressions,  or  words  which,  by  their  nature,  refer  to  future  events.    You  should  not  place  undue  certainty  on  these  forward-  looking  statements.    These  forward-looking  statements  are  subject  to  certain  risk  s and  uncertainties  that  could  cause  actual  results  to  differ  materially  from  our  predictions. 

 

Plan of  Operations          

 

Short Term  Goals  (12  Months)   

            Over the next 3 months, the Company’s growth plans include continuing efforts to:

·         Build a targeted distribution network for our Coffee Blenders functional beverages by signing the retailers that serve the K-cup and Coffee replenishment channels;

·         Increase awareness for Coffee Blenders through communications and sampling programs;

·         Establish the NuZee brands top 3 in their product categories consistent with our mission of providing natural products that work.

 

We have retained and plan to expend our sales and marketing team who can immediately contribute to our network of US and international channels as such seeding our product becomes a near term priority.  We have already started developing working relationships with key online and national distributors who serve the coffee and single-serve pod consumers.  We plan to accelerate our traction by using manufacturer representatives with food and beverage experience. 

 

 In order to build distribution the Company is first determining the total distribution launch cost among the potential channels as each has their own upfront and recurring cost structure.  Under investigation are the following company directed channels:

 

·         direct – coffeeblenders.com shopping via search and digital marketing

·         e-commerce affiliates (such as Amazon)

·         select health and wellness retailers

·         key mass/grocery retailers

·         Club/Other 

 

Each of the above is compared using a host of costing parameters not limited to the following: product slotting fees, overall margin requirements, market development fees, return allowances, broadcast advertising and promotional marketing plans, in-store and channel detailing, product sampling and customer demoing as well as transportation and logistics cost, cross dock fees, shelf-life expiration swaps, and initial and recurring inventory loading levels. 

 

In conjunction with the above channel assessment, the Company is also exploring custom and private labeling whereby the company licenses the product formulation, trademarks, and other assets in two ways:

 

1.       Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) Firms – for example manufacturer on behalf of “Amway” for product extensions of their Great Value and Equate private brands. 

2.       Product Brands – for example license to “Maxwell House” the Coffee Blender product as a new product line extension to expand their single-serve business.

 

The Company  plans  going  forward  include  the  following  milestones:

If we  are  unable  to  receive  funding  our  plans  will  be  dramatically  and  negatively  impacted  such  that  we  will  prioritize  go  to  market  strategies  based  on  reduced  operations  and  available  capital. 

 

Long Term  Goals  (Five  Years) 

 

The Company  believes  that  there  will be  significant  expansion  opportunities  in  existing  markets  through  new  products  as  well  as  in  new  regions  outside  of  the  United  States  in  combination  of  market  development  and  product  licensing. 

The Company  believes  that  our  limited  resources  may  pose  challenge  to  our  expansion  goals  and  therefore  anticipates  that  it  may  require  additional  capital  in future  years  to  fund  expansion.  There  can be  no  assurance that  our  expansion  strategy  will  be  accretive  to  our  earnings  within  reasonable  period  of  time.  However,  the  Company  believes  that  it  can improve  its  operational  efficiencies  and  reduce  the  need  for  new  capital  by  carefully  managing  the  business  based  on  the  following  economic  fundamentals  within  accretive  margin  and  cost  contribution  modeling. 

 

Results of  Operations 

 

From inception on November 9, 2011 through June 30, 2015, we have accumulated losses of $5,590,634. This loss was attributed to $4,903,649 of operating expenses.

 

We are presently in the development phase of our new product platform for functional beverages and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to attain profitability.

 

For the three Month ended June 30th, 2015, we earned revenues of $29,811 from sales of our products and incurred operating expenses in the amount of $369,957. For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, we earned revenues of $86,412 from sales of our products and incurred operating expenses in the amount of 1,093,286.These operating expenses included the research and the preparation of our business plan in addition to general and administrative expenses. We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we further undertake our plan of operations. The increase will be attributed to costs associated with production, storage and delivery of our products as well as research and development of new products.

 

We expect sales in 2015 from our new products through a combination of direct to consumer through our website portal, product awareness as well as through affiliate online stores and retailers.

 

Liquidity and  Capital  Resources 

 

As of June 30th 2015  we had  a cash balance of $202,325 and $238,160 at September 30th, 2014.  Total assets increased by 82% from $396,713 at September 2014 to $721,653 at June 30, 2015.

 

As of June 30th, 2015 we had current liabilities of $749,945 and $51,564 at September 30, 2014, mainly due to the $600,000 convertible promissory note. Accounts Payable increased by approximately 245 % to $149,556 as of June 30, 2014 from $43,384 at September 30, 2014. Other Current Liabilities decreased by approximately 95% to $389 as of June 30, 2015 from $8,180 at September 30, 2014.

 

Our current ratio decreased from 705% in September 30, 2014 to 81% as of June 30, 2015.

 

Our auditor has indicated that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our lack of significant revenues, and if we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure financing, we may be required to cease or curtail our operations.  Our financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Our current  cash  balance  as  of  June 30th 2015 is not  sufficient  to  fund  our  operations  for  the  next  twelve  months.    Therefore,  the  Company  intends  to  engage  in  additional  financing  through  the  sale  of  equity securities. 

 

Item 3.    Quantitative  and  Qualitative  Disclosures  About  Market  Risk. 

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Item 4.    Controls  and  Procedures 

 

As of  the  end  of  the  period  covered  by  this  Report, the  Company’s  President, and  principal  financial  officer  (the  “Certifying  Officer”),  evaluated the  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s  “disclosure  controls  and  procedures,”  as  defined  in  Rule  13a-15(e)  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934.    Based  on  that  evaluation,  the  officer  concluded  that,  as  of  the  date  of  the  evaluation,  the  Company’s  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  were  not  effective  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  that  the  information  required  to  be  disclosed  in  the  Company’s  periodic  filings  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934  is  accumulated  and  communicated  to  management  to  allow  timely  decisions  regarding  required  disclosure. 

 

The Certifying  Officer  has  also  indicated  that  there  were  no  changes  in  internal  controls  over  financial  reporting  during  the  Company’s  last  fiscal  quarter,  and  no  significant  changes  in  our  internal  controls  or  other  factors  that  could  significantly  affect such  controls  subsequent  to  the  date  of  their  evaluation  and  there  were  no  corrective  actions  with  regard  to  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses.

Our management,  including  the  Certifying  Officer,  does  not  expect  that  our  disclosure  controls  or  our  internal  controls  will  prevent  all  errors  and  fraud.  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.    In addition,  the  design  of  control  system must  reflect  the  fact  that  there  are  resource  constraints, and  the  benefits  of  controls  must  be  considered relative  to  their  costs.    Because  of  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, within  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.    Additionally,  controls  can be  circumvented  by  the  individual  acts  of  some  persons,  by  collusion  of  two  or  more  people  or  by  management  override  of  the  control.    The  design  of  any  systems  of  controls     also  is  based  in  part  upon  certain  assumptions  about  the  likelihood  of  future  events,  and  there  can be  no  assurance  that  any  design  will  succeed in  achieving  its  stated  goals  under  all  potential  future  conditions.    Because  of  these  inherent  limitations  in  cost-effective  control  system, misstatements  Due to  error  or  fraud  may  occur  and  not  be  detected.
