CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND 2015

(Unaudited)

(UNAUDITED)

Brazil Minerals, Inc. ("BMIX" or the "Company") was incorporated as Flux Technologies, Corp. under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S. on December 15, 2011.  The Company, through subsidiaries, mines and sells diamonds, gold, sand and mortar. The Company, through subsidiaries, outright or jointly owns 10 mining concessions and 28 other mineral rights in Brazil, for diamonds, gold, and sand. The Company, through subsidiaries, owns a large alluvial diamond and gold processing and recovery plant, a sand processing and mortar plant, trucks and earth-moving capital equipment used for mining.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 99.99% owned subsidiary, BMIX Participações Ltda. ("BMIX Subsidiary"), which includes the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mineração Duas Barras Ltda. ("MDB").

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the BMIX Subsidiary acquired an initial 25% interest in RST Recursos Minerais Ltda. ("RST"), and during the first quarter of 2015, it acquired an additional 25% interest in RST, thus bringing its total ownership of RST to 50%. As of March 18, 2015, RST has been consolidated within the Company's financial statements.

On April 17, 2015, the BMIX Subsidiary incorporated Hercules Resources Corporation ("HRC"). On May 27, 2015, HRC formalized title to 99.99% of Hercules Brasil Comercio e Transportes Ltda. ("Hercules Brasil"). Thus, as of December 31, 2015, Hercules Brasil is a wholly owned subsidiary and has been consolidated within the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On July 27, 2016, upon approval by its Board of Directors, the Company entered into a stock purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which HRC transferred its 99.99% equity interest in Mineração Jupiter Ltda to the Company which immediately thereafter sold such equity interest to Jupiter Gold Corporation ("JGC"), a newly created company. In addition, the Company simultaneously acquired all of the common stock of JGC. As such, the accounts and results of JGC and MJL have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 for more information.

All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. See subsequent events for discussion of an additional subsidiary formed subsequent to quarter end.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has limited working capital, has incurred losses in each of the past two years, and has not yet received material revenues from sales of products or services. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from its operations, the sale of its stock, and/or obtaining debt financing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company funded operations through the receipt of proceeds from revenues, and the sale of equity and debt securities. Management's plan to fund its capital requirements and ongoing operations include an increase in cash received from sales primarily of gold derived from processing in a small, low operational cost gold plant its inventory of alluvial material and gravel already mined, as well as an increase in cash received from mortar and sand sales, all of which are expected to occur within the next two quarters. Management's secondary plan to cover any shortfall is selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.

---

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, taxes recoverable, prepaid expenses, inventory, deposits and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue and convertible notes payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent that the funds are not being held for investment purposes. The Company's bank accounts are deposited in FDIC insured institutions. Funds held in U.S. banks are insured up to $250,000 and funds held in Brazilian banks are insured up to 250,000 Brazilian Reais (translating into approximately $70,050 as of September 30, 2016).

Inventory for the Company consists of rough diamonds, gold, ore stockpile, parts, supplies and related production costs and is stated at lower of cost or market. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realizable value and all losses, are recognized in the period the write-down of loss occurs. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, all inventory consisted primarily of rough ore stockpile for gold and diamonds. No value was placed on sand.

The Company records a receivable for value added taxes recoverable from Brazilian authorities on goods and services purchased by its Brazilian subsidiaries. The Company intends to recover the taxes through the acquisition of capital equipment from sellers who accept tax credits as payments. On April 20, 2016, the Company's taxes receivable decreased by $50,100 with the recovery of such amount being used in the acquisition of a Mercedes Benz truck, through a state-government program.

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations as other gain or loss, net.

The diamond and gold processing plant and other machinery are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 10 years; and computer and other office equipment over an estimated useful life of 3 years. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, all property and equipment related to the diamond, sand and mortar processing plants and other production machinery except for approximately $1,300 in computer equipment. Accumulated depreciation as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, was $253,995 and $157,381, respectively.

---

The Company has adopted a stock plan to attract, retain and motivate its directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors. The Company's stock plan provides for the issuance of up to 15,000,000 common shares for employees, consultants, directors, and advisors.

The Company's foreign subsidiaries use a local currency as the functional currency. Resulting translation gains or losses are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Transaction gains or losses related to balances denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Net foreign currency transaction losses included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations were negligible for all periods presented.

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company's deferred tax assets had a full valuation allowance.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has identified the United States Federal tax returns as its "major" tax jurisdiction.

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. As of September 30, 2016, the Company's potentially dilutive securities relate to common stock issuable in connection with convertible notes payable, options and warrants. Dilutive loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2016, if all holders of preferred stock, convertible notes payable, options and warrants exercised their right to convert their securities to common stock, the common stock issuable would be in excess of the Company's authorized, but unissued shares of common stock.

Other comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, other than net income and including foreign currency translation adjustments.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This update requires capitalized debt issuance costs to be classified as a reduction to the carrying value of debt rather than a deferred charge, as is currently required. This update will be effective for the Company for all annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and is required to be adopted retroactively for all periods presented, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU with no impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements as the issuance costs were already accounted for as a reduction of the carrying value of the debt.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern", which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The amendments in this update simplify the presentation of deferred taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. These amendments may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for a public entity. Early adoption of the amendments in this standard is permitted for all entities and the Company must recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

We have reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements issued to the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements, and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company.

 

NOTE 2 –ACQUISITIONS

RST Recursos Minerais Ltda

In June 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 25% of the equity of RST for cash payments of 250,000 Brazilian Reais and the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock valued at 100,000 Brazilian Reais. In connection with this agreement the Company issued 1,428,572 shares of common stock with a value of $43,868 and made cash payments of $107,858. At December 31, 2014, the investment was accounted for using the equity method. Effective March 18, 2015, the Company purchased an additional 25% of RST from a third party for R$400,000 or $124,680. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is to make monthly payments ranging from R$75,000 to R$100,000 beginning March 25, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, all required payments had been made. In December 2015, the 1,428,572 shares of common stock previously issued with a value of $43,868 were returned to the Company. The Company reversed the initial amount of the investment recorded upon return.

---

As a result of the additional 25% acquired, the Company owns 50% of RST and has consolidated the operations in the Company as of March 18, 2015. The remaining 50% ownership is held by Brazil Mining, Inc. ("BMI"), an entity controlled through management and stock ownership by the Company's Chief Executive Officer. On the date of consolidation, the Company determined the fair market value of RST to be $570,548. The fair market value was based upon the average price paid by the Company for the 50% ownership, including the relief of monies advanced to RST and increasing for the non-controlling interest which represents 50%. The Company allocated 100% of the fair market value to the mineral rights held by RST. Since the date of acquisition, the value of the Brazilian Reais has decreased significantly, thus, has the value of the Company's intangibles.

The purpose of the Company's acquisition of RST was due to the quality of its mineral assets, close proximity to the Company's MDB diamond and gold processing plant, and attractive acquisition price. Pro-forma financial statements have not been provided as the assets, liabilities and operations of RST are not significant. The Company expects the future expected cash flows to exceed the carrying value of the assets due to the close proximity to MDB's plant which is expected to shorten the exploration period as new plant and equipment do not need to be procured.

Jupiter Gold Corporation and Mineração Jupiter Ltda

On July 27, 2016, upon approval by its Board of Directors, the Company entered into a stock purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which HRC transferred its 99.99% equity interest in MJL to the Company which immediately thereafter sold such equity interest to JGC. In addition, the Company simultaneously agreed to pay the sum of $4,000, equal to the par value of 4,000,000 shares of JGC common stock.

Subsequent to the agreement, the Company transferred approximately 40% of its ownership in JGC to noncontrolling interests through both sales of JGC common stock at $1.00 per share to outside investors and conversions of certain of the Company's notes payable and preferred stock into JGC common stock. As a result of these transactions, a noncontrolling interest of $1,267,394 was recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – COMPOSITION OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL STATEMENT ITEMS

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of mining rights at MDB and RST and are not amortized as the mining rights are perpetual.  The carrying value was $630,842 and $508,865 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

---

On January 7, 2014, the Company issued to a family trust a Senior Secured Convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $244,000 (the "Note") and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 488,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share at an exercise price of $0.125 per share through December 26, 2018 (the "Warrants"). The Company received gross proceeds of $244,000 for the sale of such securities. The outstanding principal of the Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum. All principal on the Note was payable on September 30, 2015 (the "Maturity Date"), which as of the date of this filing is past due and in technical default. However, no demands for payment have been made. Interest was payable on September 30, 2014 and on the Maturity Date. The Note is convertible at the option of the holder into common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of one share for each $0.10 of principal and interest converted. A debt discount related to the value of the warrants in the amount of $10,252 was recorded and was being amortized over the life of the note.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, $0 and $1,025 of the discount was amortized to interest expense, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the discount was fully amortized.

In January 2015, the Company issued four convertible promissory notes totaling $200,000 in proceeds and options to purchase an aggregate of 40,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.005 per share for a period of three years. The convertible promissory notes incur interest at 10.0% and are due January 30, 2018. The convertible promissory notes are convertible at the option of the holder at a rate of $0.0024 per share. A debt discount related to the relative fair market value of the options in the amount of $22,423 and an implied beneficial conversion features of $22,423 were recorded, totaling $44,846 and are being amortized over the life of the notes.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, $27,406 and $17,440 of the discount was amortized to interest expense, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, the discount was fully amortized to interest expense, and the notes were converted into 80,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, 192,000 shares of JGC common stock, and 384,000 stock purchase warrants for JCG common stock. The 192,000 shares of JGC common stock were valued at $192,000, or $1.00 per share, which represents fair market value as of such date. The 384,000 warrants are exercisable at $1.50 for a two year period from issuance. The JGC warrants were valued at $37,426 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: an exercise price of $1.50, a stock price of $1.00 on the date of grant, an expected dividend yield of 0%, an expected volatility of 40.0%, a risk free interest rate of 0.71% and an expected term of 2.0 years. As a result, a noncontrolling interest of $229,426 was recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the Company purchased machinery and equipment from a third party making an initial deposit of $10,910 (R$35,000), issuing notes payable totaling $38,963 (R$125,000) payable in five equal monthly installments starting March 15, 2015 and $43,638 in customer deposits (R$140,000) in which are to be satisfied through gravel produced by MDB. The note payable was convertible into common stock of the Company at the market rate on the date of issuance and thus a beneficial conversion feature was not recorded. In June 2015, the Company cancelled this agreement returning the machinery and equipment and forfeiting amounts already paid to the seller.

In June 2015, the Company issued three convertible promissory notes and received an aggregate $100,000 in proceeds. The convertible promissory notes incur interest at 10.0% per annum and are due December 31, 2016. The convertible promissory notes are convertible at the option of the holder at a 40% discount to the average of the five lowest closing prices of the Company's common stock over the previous 20 days. In addition, the notes conversion rate has a ceiling of $0.03 and a floor of $0.000033. A debt discount related to the beneficial conversion feature of $87,720 was recorded and is being amortized over the life of the notes. As of September 30, 201, the discount was fully amortized to interest expense, and the notes were converted into 100 shares of Series B Preferred Stock; see Note 5.

In July 2015, as discussed below in Note 6, the Company has previously provided customers with the option to convert their deposits of diamonds into common stock if the diamonds are not delivered on the scheduled timeline.

Derivative Liabilities

In connection with convertible notes payable the Company records derivative liabilities for the conversion feature. The derivative liabilities are valued on the date of issuance of the convertible note payable and revalued at each reporting period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded derivative liabilities of $667,658 based upon the following Black-Scholes option pricing model average assumptions: an exercise price of $0.0015 to $0.00005, our stock price on the date of grant ($0.0033 to $0.0001), expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 217.53% to 313%, risk free interest rate of 0.12% and an expected term of 0.50 years. Upon initial valuation, the derivative liability exceeded the face value of the convertible note payable of $302,111, a day one loss on derivative liability of $372,878 was recorded. No derivative liabilities were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

On September 30, 2016, the derivative liabilities were revalued at $88,175 resulting in a gain of $193,170 related to the change in fair market value of the derivative liabilities. The derivative liabilities were revalued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following average assumptions: an exercise price of $0.00005, our stock price on the date of valuation ($0.0002), expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 446%, risk-free interest rate of 0.45%, and an expected term of 0.25 years.

Future Potential Dilution

Most of the Company's convertible notes payable contain adjustable conversion terms with significant discounts to market. As of September 30, 2016, the Company's convertible notes payable from holders indicating desire to convert into equity are convertible into an aggregate of approximately 3.2 billion shares of common stock. Due to the variable conversion prices on some of the Company's convertible notes, the number of common shares issuable is dependent upon the traded price of the Company's common stock. As of September 30, 2016, if all holders of convertible notes payable exercised their right to the common stock, the Company would have an obligation to issue shares of its common stock in excess of its authorized, but unissued shares of common stock. In November 2016, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized number of shares of common stock by 2.5 billion shares to fifteen (15) billion shares.

 

 

NOTE 5 – STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT

Authorized and Amendments

On March 21, 2016, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of its common stock to ten (10) billion shares. On August 23, 2016, the Company further amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of its common stock to twelve and one half (12.5) billion shares.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had seven (7) billion common shares authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share.

On December 18, 2012, the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Stock") to designate one share of a new series of preferred stock. The Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock provides that for so long as Series A Stock is issued and outstanding, the holders of Series A Stock shall vote together as a single class with the holders of the Company's Common Stock, with the holders of Series A Stock being entitled to 51% of the total votes on all such matters regardless of the actual number of shares of Series A Stock then outstanding, and the holders of Common Stock are entitled to their proportional share of the remaining 49% of the total votes based on their respective voting power.

Series B Preferred Stock

On August 26, 2015, the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of par value $0.001 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Stock") to designate 1,000,000 shares of a new series of preferred stock. The Series B Stock has an original issue price of $1,000 per share. Cumulative dividends on such shares are payable annually (or upon conversion of such stock into Common Stock) in Common Stock at the rate of 10% per stated share value per annum. The holders of Series B Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters as one class with the holders of Common Stock, with the holders of Series B Stock being entitled to such number of votes as shall equal the number of whole and fractional shares of Common Stock into which such share is then convertible. At any time until December 31, 2016 each holder of Series B Stock may elect to convert all or a portion of the preference amount into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price which is a 40% discount to the average of the lowest 5 closing prices of the Common Stock in the 20 calendar day period before a notice of conversion is given, but the conversion price shall not be higher than $.03 nor lower than $.000033. On December 31, 2016, all outstanding shares of Series B Stock shall automatically convert into Common Stock at the applicable conversion price. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company accrued dividends of $82,350, recorded as interest expense which increased the dividends payable balance to $92,783 at September 30, 2016.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued 273 shares of Series B Stock for $270,000 in cash proceeds. In addition, six shares of Series B Stock were issued to a placement agent.

As discussed in Note 4, during the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued 100 shares of Series B Stock in satisfaction of $100,000 in convertible notes payable. In connection with the exchange, the Company recorded other expense of $66,667 due to the Series B Stock having an estimated fair market value of $166,667 on the date of the exchange. The Company estimated the fair market value of the Series B Stock based upon the number of common shares it could be converted into.

See Note 6 for discussion related to the exchange of customer deposits received in connection with the delivery of diamonds for 668 shares of Series B Stock.

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with the holders of its Series B Preferred Stock whereby the holders exchanged 471.3 shares preferred stock for 785,248 shares of Jupiter Gold Corporation common stock and options to purchase common stock of Jupiter Gold. The options were issued in two tranches. The first tranche of 581,548 options are exercisable at $1.50 for a one year period from issuance. The second tranche of 785,248 options are exercisable at $1.50 for a two year period from issuance. The options were valued at $97,349 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: an exercise price of $1.50, a stock price of $1.00 on the date of grant, an expected dividend yield of 0%, an expected volatility of 40.0%, a risk free interest rate of 0.56%-0.72% and an expected term of 1.0-2.0 years. As a result, a noncontrolling interest of $980,847 was recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

---

On December 29, 2015, the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C Stock") to designate 1,000,000 shares of a new series of preferred stock. The Series C Stock has an original issue price of $1,000 per share. Cumulative dividends on such shares are payable annually (or upon conversion of such stock into Common Stock) in Common Stock at the rate of $0.04 per share per annum. The holders of Series C Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters as one class with the holders of Common Stock, with the holders of Series C Stock being entitled to such number of votes as shall equal the number of whole and fractional shares of Common Stock into which such share is then convertible. At any time until December 31, 2016 each holder of Series C Stock may elect to convert all or a portion of the preference amount into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price which is the lower of $0.00008 or the volume weighted average price of the Company's Common Stock for the 90 trading days before a notice of conversion with a floor of $0.00004. On December 31, 2016, all outstanding shares of Series C Stock shall automatically convert into Common Stock at the applicable conversion price.

On December 29, 2015, the Company issued 200,000 shares of Series C Stock in exchange for 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock in which had been previously sold for $80,000 in proceeds. In connection with the exchange, the Company recorded other expense of $170,000 due to the Series C Stock having an estimated fair market value of $250,000 on the date of the exchange. The Company estimated the fair market value of the Series C Stock based upon the number of common shares it could be converted into.

On July 30, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with the holders of its Series C Preferred Stock whereby the holders exchanged 200,000 shares preferred stock for 125,000 shares of Jupiter Gold Corporation common stock. As a result, a noncontrolling interest of $125,000 was recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Transactions

The Company leases offices in Pasadena, California, U.S., and in the municipality of Olhos D'Agua, Brazil. Such costs are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

Mine Option

On July 30, 2013, the BMIX Subsidiary acquired for zero cost an option to develop and own up 75% of a vanadium, titanium, and iron property in the state of Piauí in Brazil in exchange for the performance over a period of time of certain defined geological research steps, as well as the payment, over a period of time, of 875,000 Brazilian reais in cash ($269,675 as of September 30, 2016) and the equivalent of 125,000 Brazilian reais in common stock ($38,525 as of September 30, 2016). To date the option has not been exercised.

Diamond Delivery Agreements

On March 4, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $500,000 from a sale of polished and GIA graded diamonds pursuant to an agreement with two buyers that agreed to receive these diamonds over a period of one year. One of the buyers has expertise and a long and successful history of investments in natural resources. As part of this transaction, the Company pledged with a third party collateral agent an aggregate of 11,000,000 shares of its common stock, valued at approximately $990,000 at the time the transaction was consummated, in order to secure the delivery of the diamonds. The number of shares pledged is subject to periodic adjustment as diamonds are delivered and as the market price of our common stock may change. The Company also issued to the buyers two-year options to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events) of $0.12 per share, a premium of 33% above the stock price when the transaction was consummated. These options initially expired on March 4, 2016 and have an exercise price of $0.12, which was reduced to $0.08 per share in October 2014 and the expiration date extended to March 4, 2018. The fair value of the options was $93,280 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: our stock price on date of grant ($0.09), expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 77.56%, risk-free interest rate of 0.78%, and an expected term of 2 years. In July 2015, the Company extended these agreements until December 31, 2016. Under the new agreements, quarterly the Company is required to deliver diamonds with $15,000 in aggregate Rappaport value. If the diamonds are not delivered, then the customer has the option of converting the required value at 50% of market. Due to the variable conversion price, the Company is recording a derivative liability upon each tranche becoming convertible. As of September 30, 2015, total amounts convertible into common stock were $35,158. In addition, the collateral shares for this contract were increased to 465,293,570. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company did not deliver any of the diamonds.

On April 30, 2014, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements with four investors (the "Buyers"), pursuant to which the Buyers agreed to pay to the Company an aggregate of $500,000 and the Company agreed to deliver to the Buyers from time to time on or before December 31, 2015, polished and GIA-graded diamonds of at least 0.4 carats having a certain aggregate Rappaport value. The Company agreed to pledge with third party collateral agents for the Buyers an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of its common stock, valued at approximately $800,000 at the time the transaction was consummated, in order to secure the delivery of the diamonds. The number of shares pledged is subject to periodic adjustment as diamonds are delivered and as the market price of the Company's stock may change. As of December 31, 2014, the required reserve was 123,076,923 shares of common stock. On the date of the agreement, the Company reserved for the Buyers or their designees, an aggregate of 3,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Shares") and two year options to purchase an aggregate of 1,875,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.12 per share, payable in cash to the Company (the "Options"). The fair value of the options was $57,662 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: our stock price on date of grant ($0.09), expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 77.56%, risk-free interest rate of 0.11%, and an expected term of 2 years.  The common stock issued was valued at $348,750 based upon the closing market price of the Company's common stock. Since the agreement contained various elements, the Company allocated the $47,544 to the options, $287,552 to the shares issued and $164,904 to deferred revenue based upon the relative fair market value.  In July 2015, the Company extended these agreements until December 31, 2016. Under the new agreements, quarterly the Company is required to deliver diamonds with aggregate Rappaport values ranging from $10,000 to $20,000. If the diamonds are not delivered, then the customer has the option of converting the required value at 50% of market. Due to the variable conversion price, the Company is recording a derivative liability upon each tranche becoming convertible. As of September 30, 2015, total amounts convertible into common stock were $40,000. A total of 200,000,000 in collateral shares were issued for this contract. There were no deliveries under this contract during the year ended December 31, 2015.

On December 30, 2015, the diamond agreements described were exchanged for 668 shares of Series B Stock. Under the terms of the agreement, all obligations under the agreement to deliver diamonds and other guarantees were removed, including the derivative liability. On the date of the exchange the Company determined that the value of the Series B Stock was $1,113,333 based upon the number of common shares the Series B Stock is convertible into. The agreement relieved $543,630 in customer deposits, $182,300 in derivative liabilities less a remaining discount of $68,057, a total relief of $657,873. The Company recorded the excess value of the Series B Stock issued of $455,460 as a loss on extinguishment.

 

NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Brazil Mining, Inc.

Previously the Company had amounts due from Brazil Mining, Inc. ("BMI"), a related party through common management. The loans did not incur interest and were due on demand. During the year ended December 31, 2015, BMI transferred equipment with a carrying value of $44,854 to the Company as a partial offset to the amounts due. During December 2015, in satisfaction of the remaining receivable, BMI transferred the rights to two mineral right properties. At the time of the transfer, the Company's subsidiary RST retained a 50% ownership in these rights, thus, the value of the two mineral rights transferred is included within consolidation of RST. Thus, the Company recorded other expense of $93,580 during the year ended December 31, 2015 as the assets had already been reflected at their fair market value on the Company's financial statements. The Company agreed to the transaction to ensure there were no potential violations of the Sarbanes Oxley Act as the Company's CEO also controls BMI though management and stock holdings.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, amounts payable to the Chief Executive Officer for accrued salaries, retirement contributions, and advances made included within related party payable were $231,344 and $160,214, respectively. During 2015, $25,000 of the balance was converted into shares of the Company's common stock at a 50% discount to market. In addition, the agreement included a true up provision which requires the Company to issue additional shares of common stock after conversion or true up at the lowest effective common stock transaction for a period of up to 250 trading days. See common stock issuances above for disclosure of amounts converted and shares issued.

The following is a roll forward of amounts due to the Chief Executive Officer for the nine months ended September 30, 2016:

 

NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with FASB ASC 855-10 Subsequent Events, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to June 30, 2016 to the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these consolidated financial statements, except as noted below.

The Company increased its authorized shares to 15 billion on November 3, 2016.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Report.

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements for Brazil Minerals, Inc. reflect current expectations, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward- looking statements as a result of various factors. Factors that could cause future results to materially differ from the recent results or those projected in forward-looking statements include: unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral deposits that, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production; market fluctuations; government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection; competition; the loss of services of key personnel; unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of infrastructure as well as general economic conditions.

Description of Business

Our progress has been steady, and can be measured in at least two quantifiable ways. First, in terms of mineral assets, in early 2013, our initial year of operations under the current business model and management team, we had 3 mineral rights. As of September 30, 2016, we had 38 mineral rights, as follows:

a)

10 mineral rights that are mining concessions, the highest level of mineral right in Brazil ("Concessão de Lavra");

b)

8 mineral rights that have status just below mining concession ("Requerimento de Lavra"), which allows us to apply for both an upgrade to mining concession and to conduct limited commercial mining;

c)

8 mineral rights in the research permit phase ("Autorização de Resquisa"); and

d)

12 mineral rights in the phase of application for research permit ("Requerimento de Pesquisa").
