Minerco Resources, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Minerco Resources, Inc. (“Minerco”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Minerco’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the financial statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2010 as reported in Minerco’s Form 10-K have been omitted.

2. Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize it assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. During the period ended January 31, 2011, the Company has an accumulated deficit and no revenue. The Company is in the business of developing, producing and providing clean, renewable energy solutions in Central America. The Company participates in and invests in development projects with other companies in clean, renewable energy projects. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations.   These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company intends to fund operations through equity and debt financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending July 31, 2012.

3. Common Stock

On October 14, 2010, the Company issued  2,000,000 shares in consideration for documentation preparation services performed.  These shares were not expensed since they were incurred prior to raising financing and hence considered as deferred financing costs.

On December 6, 2010, the Company issued 16,000,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to a consulting agreement.

On December 6, 2010, the Company issued 1,750,000 shares of its common stock as a sign on bonus to various employees.

On December 16, 2010, the Company issued 30,000,000 shares of its common stock to its Chief Financial Officer pursuant to an employment agreement.  The compensation expense for the stock grant will be amortized evenly over the 5 year employment agreement based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.

On December 16, 2010, the Company issued 18,007,202 shares as a commitment fee pursuant to the Investment Agreement between Centurion Private Equity LLC and the company dated December 2, 2010, these shares were not expensed since they were incurred prior to raising financing and hence considered as deferred financing costs.

4. Preferred Stock
 
The preferred stock may be divided into and issued in series. The Board of Directors of the Company is authorized to divide the authorized shares of preferred stock into one or more series, each of which shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes.
 
On January 11, 2011, the Company designated 25,000,000 shares of its preferred stock as Class A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Class A Stock”). Each share of Class A Stock is convertible into 10 shares of common stock, has 100 votes, has no dividend rights except as may be declared by the Board of Directors, and has a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share.

On January 11, 2011, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of its Class A Convertible Preferred stock to its Chief Executive Officer pursuant to an employment agreement.  The compensation expense for the stock grant will be amortized evenly over the 5 year employment agreement based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.

5. Accounts Payable – Related Parties

As of January 31, 2011, the Company was indebted to the current Chief Executive Officer for $38,134($16,000 at July 31, 2010) relating to accrued salary and $23,310 for the expenses paid on behalf of the Company. The Company is also indebted to the current Chief Financial Officer for $26,254 ($6,500 at July 31, 2010) relating to accrued salary and $16,041  for the expenses paid on behalf of the company for a total of $103,739.  The former president is no longer a related party therefore this amount is classified under short term loan as of January 31, 2011.

6. Loan Payable

On October 12, 2010, the Company granted a promissory note to an unrelated third party in the amount of  $200,000 in consideration for monies loaned to the Company.  The promissory note is non-interest bearing and due on demand.  As of January 31, 2011, the balance of this indebtedness to this party was $200,000 ($100,000 at July 31, 2010).

7.  Equity Funding Facility

 The Company entered into the Investment Agreement with Centurion Private Equity, LLC (“Centurion”) on December 2, 2010.  Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Centurion committed to purchase up to $5,000,000 of our common stock, over a period of time terminating on the earlier of: (i) 24 months from the effective date of this registration statement; or (ii) 30 months from the date of the Investment Agreement (the “Line”). The aggregate number of shares issuable by us and purchasable by Centurion the Investment Agreement is $5,000,000 worth of stock, which was determined by our Board of Directors.  

We may draw on the facility from time to time, as and when we determine appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement.  The maximum amount that we are entitled to put in any one notice is such number of shares of Common Stock as equals $300,000 provided that the number of shares sold in each put shall not exceed a share volume limitation equal to the lesser of: (i) 10 million shares; or (ii) 15% of the aggregate trading volume of the Common Stock traded on our primary exchange during any pricing period for such put excluding any days where the lowest intra-day trade price is less than the trigger price (which is the greater of (i) the floor price plus a fixed discount of $.0025, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances (ii) the floor price if any set by us divided by 0.95 or (iii) $.01, the greater of all three clauses being referred to as the “Trigger Price”).  The offering price of the securities to Centurion will equal 95% of the of the average of the three lowest daily volume weighted average prices, or “ VWAPs, ” of our common stock during the fifteen trading day period beginning on the trading day immediately following the date Centurion receives our put notice. However, if, on any trading day during a pricing period, the daily VWAP of the common stock is lower than the Trigger Price, then the put amount is automatically suspended for each such trading day during the pricing period, with only the balance of such put amount above the minimum acceptable price being put to Centurion.  There are put restrictions applied on days between the put notice date and the closing date with respect to that particular put.  During such time, we are not entitled to deliver another put notice.

Logistically in terms of timing of each put the Investment Agreement provides that at least one business day but no more than 5 business days prior to any intended put date, we must deliver a put notice to Centurion, stating the number of shares included in the put and the put date
 
There are circumstances under which we will not be entitled to put shares to Centurion, including the following:

  
we will not be entitled to put shares to Centurion unless there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of the shares by Centurion;

  
we will not be entitled to put shares to Centurion unless our common stock continues to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and has not been suspended from trading;

  
we will not be entitled to put shares to Centurion  if an injunction shall have been issued and remain in force against us, or action commenced by a governmental authority which has not been stayed or abandoned, prohibiting the purchase or the issuance of the shares to Centurion;

  
we will not be entitled to put shares to Centurion if the issuance of the shares will violate any shareholder approval requirements of the OTC BB;
 
we will not be entitled to put shares to Centurion if we have not complied with our obligations and are otherwise in breach of or in default under, the Investment Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection therewith with Centurion; and

  
we will not be entitled to put shares to Centurion to the extent that such shares would cause Centurion’s' beneficial ownership to exceed 9.99% of our outstanding shares;
 
In connection with the preparation of the Investment Agreement and the registration rights agreement, we issued Centurion  2,000,000 shares of common stock as a document preparation fee in the amount of $20,000 and 18,007,202 shares of our common stock as  a commitment fee.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements

This annual report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “could”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential” and the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially.

While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested in this report.

Business Overview

Minerco Resources, Inc. (“Minerco”, “we”, “our” or “us”) was incorporated as a Nevada company on June 21, 2007. We were engaged in the acquisition of interests and leases in oil and natural gas properties since our inception until May 27, 2010. As of May 27, 2010 we changed our focus away from the oil and gas business to that of the development of production and provision of clean, renewable energy solutions in Central America.  We have no subsidiaries. Our common stock is quoted on the Other OTC Market under the symbol “MINE”.

Our registration statement on Form S-1 registering an aggregate of 142,545,000 shares of our common stock became effective on February 6, 2009. The 142,545,000 shares offered for resale by the 35 selling security holders include 12,000,000 shares owned by Wisdom Resources, Inc., a company controlled by Michael Too, our former President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and sole director. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of these shares by the selling security holders. We incurred all costs associated with the registration statement.  Our registration statement on Form S-1 registering an aggregate of 60,600,734 shares of our common stock became effective on January 6, 2011.  There 60,600,734 shares offered for sale are from 2 selling security holders.

The Projects

On May 27, 2010, we acquired 100% of the 6 mega-watt per hour (MWh) Chiligatoro Hydro-Electric Project (“Chiligatoro”) in Intibuca, Honduras. The Project is classified as a run-of-the-river project (not a conventional retention dam) and is currently in the Feasibility Stage of development. Acquisition in this phase of development allows Minerco Resouces, Inc. (“Minerco”) to have full control of the Final Design and Construction.  To date, the construction of the Chiligatoro has not started, and we have not received any revenues from the project. There is no assurance that the Chiligatoro will be completed in a timely manner, if at all.   Additionally, if the Chiligatoro is completed, there is no guarantee that it will be successfully used to create electricity or that it will generate a consistent revenue stream for us.

The Project has received approval from the National Energy Commission, signed the 30 Year Operations Contract with SERNA and is currently negotiating its Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with ENEE. The Project is awaiting final approval from the Honduran National Congress. This Congressional Approval acts as a “defacto” guarantee. This approval makes Chiligatoro’s Power Purchase Contracts a recorded law in the Honduran National Congress. Final approval and start of construction is anticipated by late 2011.

The revenue for the Chiligatoro Project (or any hydro project) is expected to be generated from the following; however there can be no guarantee that such anticipated revenue level or any revenue at all will be generated:

Ø  
Power Generation Sales
§  
Chiligatoro Example: 6 MWh x 24 hr/day x $115.97 /MWh = US$ 16,700 / day or US$ 6,095,000 per year of Gross Energy Generation Revenue

Ø  
Carbon Credits

Carbon Emission Reduction (CER) Credits can be pre-sold or traded on the open market. The spot price is currently over US$ 10 per Credit. Carbon Credits are relatively new but are measured in tonnes of CO2.

§  
The Chiligatoro Project  is expected eliminate approximately 27,000 tonnes of CO2.per year, or earn 27,000 CER Credits annually. 27,000 CER /year x $10 /CER = US$ 270,000 per year.

Ø  
Reforestation in Project Buffer Zone
§  
Reforestation generates revenue directly and indirectly. Planting tropical hardwood trees such as mahogany will generate direct revenue in less than 20 years. Current prices yield more than US$ 8,000 per tree.

§  
More importantly, reforestation of the Project’s Buffer Zone (water supply zone) increases the Projects total efficiency within a couple years adding additional power generation revenue. This increase in efficiency is typically 2 – 3%. Additional CER Credits are also realized with reforestation.

The Agreement with ROTA INVERSIONES S.DE R.L

We acquired the rights to the Chiligatoro Project from ROTA INVERSIONES S.DE R.L., a Corporation formed under the laws of Honduras (the “Seller”), pursuant to the terms of an acquisition agreement we entered into with the Seller on May 27, 2010.  We agreed to pay the Seller at total of 18,000,000 shares of common stock consisting of 9,000,000 shares of our  common stock within 3 days of closing, 4,500,000 shares of our common stock within 180 days of closing and 4,500,000 shares of our common stock upon the Company’s raising of $12,000,000 no later than 24 months after closing.  We also agreed to pay the Seller a royalty of 10% of the adjusted gross revenue, derived after all applicable taxes, from the Project prior to completion of the payment of the foregoing.  Further, we agreed to pay the Seller a royalty of 20% of the adjusted gross revenue, derived after all applicable taxes, from the Project after the completion of the payout for the life of the Project, including any renewal, transfer or sale, if any, in perpetuity.  “Payout” is defined as, all associated costs related to the development of the Project.  If the Company is unable to obtain the financing requirements of this agreement, Seller shall have the right to terminate this agreement with full rights of rescission, and all rights, title and interest to the Project shall be transferred back to the Seller.
 
On January 5, 2011, we acquired 100% of the 4 mega-watt per hour (MWh) Iscan Hydro-Electric Project (“Chiligatoro”) in Olancho, Honduras. The Project is classified as a run-of-the-river project (not a conventional retention dam) and is currently in the Feasibility Stage of development. Acquisition in this phase of development allows Minerco Resouces, Inc. (“Minerco”) to have full control of the Final Design and Construction.  To date, the construction of the Iscan has not started, and we have not received any revenues from the project. There is no assurance that the Iscan will be completed in a timely manner, if at all.   Additionally, if the Iscan  is completed, there is no guarantee that it will be successfully used to create electricity or that it will generate a consistent revenue stream for us.

We acquired the rights to the Iscan Project from Energetica de Occidente S.A. de C.V., a Corporation formed under the laws of Honduras (the “ Iscan Seller”), pursuant to the terms of an acquisition agreement we entered into the Iscan Seller on January 5, 2011.  We agreed to pay the Iscan Seller a total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock consisting of 500,000 shares of our common stock within 30 days of closing and 500,000 shares of our common stock upon us raising of $8,500,000 no later than 36 months after closing.  We also agreed to pay the Iscan Seller a royalty of 10% of the adjusted gross revenue, derived after all applicable taxes, from the Project prior to completion of the payment of the foregoing.   If we are unable to obtain the financing requirements of this agreement, the Iscan Seller shall have the right to terminate this agreement with full rights of rescission, and all rights, title and interest to the Project shall be transferred back to the Iscan  Seller.

The increase in our net loss during the three months ended January 31, 2011 was primarily due to increased General and Administrative Expense due to a change in business operations and the hiring of employees and consultants.

Our total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2011 were $319,414, compared to operating expenses of $15,891 during the same period in fiscal 2010.

Our general and administrative expenses consist of professional fees, transfer agent fees, investor relations expenses and general office expenses. Our professional fees include legal, accounting and auditing fees.


Results of Operations for the Period from June 21, 2007 (Date of Inception) to January 31, 2011
 
From our inception on June 21, 2007 to January 31, 2011 we did not generate any revenues and we incurred a net loss of $631,853. We may not generate significant revenues from our interest in our Hydro-Electric or Wind Projects or any other properties in which we acquire an interest, and we anticipate that we will incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future.

Our total operating expenses from our inception on June 21, 2007 to January 31, 2011 were $566,006, and consisted entirely of $187,809 in compensation expense, $138,333 in professional fees, $144,000 in consulting fees and $95,864 in general and administrative expenses. We have not incurred any foreign exchange losses, management fees, rent expenses or other operating expenses since our inception.

Our general and administrative expenses consist of professional fees, transfer agent fees, investor relations expenses and general office expenses. Our professional fees include legal, accounting and auditing fees.

From our inception on June 21, 2007 to January 31, 2011 we also received $13,000 in the form of proceeds from loan recovery and incurred $32,700 in expenses related to the impairment of a note receivable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of January 31, 2011 we had $1,506 in cash and $717,481 in total assets, $356,420 in total liabilities and a working capital deficit of $354,439. Our accumulated deficit from our inception on June 21, 2007 to January 31, 2011 was $631,853 and was funded primarily through advances from related parties, equity and debt financing.

From our inception on June 21, 2007 to January 31, 2011 we spent net cash of $334,476 on operating activities. During the six months ended January 31, 2011 we spent net cash of $158,761 on operating activities, compared to net cash spending of $29,795 on operating activities during the same period in fiscal 2010. The increase in expenditures on operating activities for the six months ended January 31, 2011 was primarily due to a change in business operation and in connection therewith the  acquisition of several development projects.

From our inception on June 21, 2007 to January 31, 2011 we spent net cash of $10,000 on investing activities, all of which was in the form of a loan to a third party. We did not spend any net cash on investing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2011 or during the same period in fiscal 2010.

From our inception on June 21, 2007 to January 31, 2011 we received net cash of $345,982 from financing activities, which consists of $90,514 from the issuance of our common stock, $200,000 from debt financing, $54,286 in proceeds from a related party and $1,182 in capital contributions. During the six months ended January 31, 2011 we did receive $139,351 net cash from financing activities, compared to net cash received of $14,935 during the same period in fiscal 2010. The increase in receipts from financing activities for the six months ended January 31, 2011 was primarily due to a loan from an unrelated third party.

During the six months ended January 31, 2011 our monthly cash requirements to fund our operating activities was approximately $26, 460. Our cash of $1,506 as of January 31, 2011 is not sufficient to cover our current monthly burn rate for a full  month.

We estimate our planned expenses for the next 24 months (beginning March 2011) to be approximately $13,001,000, as summarized in the table below.

Our general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of transfer agent fees, investor relations expenses and general office expenses. The professional fees are related to our regulatory filings throughout the year.

Based on our planned expenditures, we require additional funds of approximately $12,998,494 (a total of $13,001,000 less our approximately $1,506 in cash as of January 31, 2011) to proceed with our business plan over the next 24 months. If we secure less than the full amount of financing that we require, we will not be able to carry out our complete business plan and we will be forced to proceed with a scaled back business plan based on our available financial resources.

We anticipate that we will incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. Although we acquired a 100% interest in the various Hydro-Electric and Wind Projects, there is no assurance that we will receive any revenues from this interest. Meanwhile, even if we purchase other non-operated interests in hydro-electric projects or begin construction activities on any properties we may acquire, this does not guarantee that these projects or properties will be commercially exploitable.

Our activities will be directed by V. Scott Vanis, our President, Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors and Sam J Messina III, our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and a member of the Board of Directors, who will also manage our operations and supervise our other planned acquisition activities.

Future Financings

Our financial statements for the six months ended January 31, 2011 have been prepared on a going concern basis and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have not generated any revenues, have achieved losses since our inception, and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund our operations. We may not generate any revenues from our interest in the various Hydro-Electric and Wind Projects, or from any of the hydro-electric or wind projects in which we acquire an interest. Accordingly, we are dependent upon obtaining outside financing to carry out our operations and pursue any acquisition and exploration activities.

Of the $13,001,000 we require for the next 24 months, we had approximately $1,506 in cash as of January 31, 2011. We intend to raise the balance of our cash requirements for the next 24 months (approximately $12,998,494) from the equity line that we entered into with Centurion, private placements, shareholder loans or possibly a registered public offering (either self-underwritten or through a broker-dealer). If we are unsuccessful in raising enough money through such efforts, we may review other financing possibilities such as bank loans. At this time we do not have a commitment from any broker-dealer to provide us with financing other than the equity line, and there is no guarantee that any financing will be successful. We intend to negotiate with our management and any consultants we may hire to pay parts of their salaries and fees with stock and stock options instead of cash.

If we are unable to obtain the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our acquisition and exploration activities and our general and administrative expenses so as not to exceed the amount of capital resources that are available to us. Specifically, we anticipate that we will defer drilling programs and certain acquisitions pending the receipt of additional financing. Still, if we do not secure additional financing our current cash reserves and working capital will be not be sufficient to enable us to sustain our operations and for the next 12 months, even if we do decide to scale back our operations.
 
Product Research and Development

We do not anticipate spending any material amounts in connection with product research and development activities during the next 12 months.

Acquisition of Plants and Equipment and Other Assets

Apart from our interest in the various Hydro-Electric and Wind Projects, we do not anticipate selling or acquiring any material properties, plants or equipment during the next 12 months unless we are successful in obtaining additional financing.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Inflation

The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance the information required to be reported in our Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified and pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information 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.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Inasmuch as we only have two individuals serving as officers, directors and employees we have determined that the company has, per se, inadequate controls and procedures over financial reporting due to the lack of segregation of duties despite the fact that the duties of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are performed by two different individuals.  Management recognizes that its controls and procedures would be substantially improved if there was a greater segregation of the duties of Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and as such is actively seeking to remediate this issue. Management believes that the material weakness in its controls and procedures referenced did not have an effect on our financial results. Based upon this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the six months ended January 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. other than the improvement to our controls resulting from the  segregation of duties of the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer in July 2010 when we hired a new Principal Financial Officer on July 26, 2010 to oversee the internal controls over financial reporting.
