NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2014
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of Business
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 and gold, and owns or has options on other mineral assets in Brazil.
On December 18, 2012, the Company entered into and consummated an acquisition agreement with Brazil Mining, Inc. (“BMI”) whereby BMI agreed to transfer to the Company certain mining and exploration rights, in exchange for 35,783,342 shares of the Company. At the same time, the previous sole director surrendered for voluntary cancellation, 99,999,000 common shares of stock of the Company such that, upon the transaction and a simultaneous private placement by the Company of its common stock, BMI owned 51% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The Company changed its name to Brazil Minerals, Inc. on December 24, 2012. Also see Note 3.
Principles of Consolidation
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 99.99% subsidiary, BMIX Participações Ltda. (“BMIX Subsidiary”), which owns 55% of Mineração Duas Barras Ltda. (“Duas Barras”). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP accounting”) in the United States of America and are presented in U.S. dollars. In 2013, the Company elected to change its year end date from February 28 to December 31.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Brazil Minerals, Inc. 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 (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the financial statements to be not misleading 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 would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year 2013 as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, loans, and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. The Company's bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The 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 (approximately $122,375 as of March 31, 2014). As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company’s bank deposits were $665,461 and $104,785, respectively.

MARCH 31, 2014
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured. Proceeds of $525,000 received for future diamond sales have been recorded as deferred revenue as at March 31, 2014.
Inventory
Inventory consists of diamonds and gold and related production costs, and is stated at lower of cost or market.
Mineral Properties
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's rights. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013 the Company did not recognize any impairment losses related to mineral properties held.
Capital Assets
Capital assets consisting of the diamond and gold processing plant and other machinery are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful life of 10 years, on a straight-line basis. Capital assets consisting of computer and other office equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful life of 3 years, on a straight-line basis. During the period ended March 31, 2014, depreciation expense of $15,248 had been capitalized to inventory and expensed through exploration and production costs and $108 had been expensed through depreciation expenses.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 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. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Dividends
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during any of the periods shown.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2014
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. 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 generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 718. 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 expensed $123,402 and $Nil in stock based compensation to employees, consultants, directors, and advisors during the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all recent accounting pronouncements issued to the date of the issuance of these financial statements, and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company.
NOTE 2 – LOAN RECEIVABLE-RELATED PARTY AND OPTION EXERCISE
In 2012, the Company issued a loan receivable to BMI for $800,000. The loan was non-interest bearing and had no specified terms of repayment and was an advance related to the exercise of an option agreement held by BMI for a 20% share of the Duas Barras diamond production. On January 2, 2013, the Company exercised the option and the advance was deemed payment of the option. The option granted the Company 20% of the diamond production with respect to BMI’s 55% interest in Duas Barras.
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF DUAS BARRAS INTEREST
On March 23, 2013, upon approval by its Board of Directors, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which BMI sold to the BMIX Subsidiary the rights to all profits, losses and appreciation or depreciation and all other economic and voting interests of any kind in respect of the BMI’s interest in Duas Barras in exchange for the issuance to BMI of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares were valued at their fair market value of $0.66 per share as of March 23, 2013, the date that the agreement was entered into. As a result of the acquisition, a deemed dividend of $800,000 was recorded related to the acquisition of the option as discussed in Note 2. The net assets of Duas Barras at the date of the acquisition of the 55% equity interest in Duas Barras were $1,035,695. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. As a result of the transaction, non-controlling interest of $460,663 was recognized in the financial statements.

NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE
On September 30, 2013, the Company issued and sold to two accredited investors for $100,000 four units of securities, each unit consisting of a $25,000 convertible promissory note and warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock until December 31, 2019. The notes bear interest at 10% per annum. The note payable can be converted into common shares of the Company at $0.125 per share. The conversion price of the warrants is $0.15 per share and the warrants expire on December 31, 2019. During the period ended March 31, 2014, $25,000 of the note was repaid. The Company recorded an original issue discount of $53,701 related to the issuance of the convertible note. As of March 31, 2014, $40,276 of the original issue discount has been amortized during the life of the note.
The total debt discount was comprised of the debt discount related to the warrants, the convertible note, and stock and cash given in exchange for issuing the convertible notes. The fair value of the debt discount related to the warrants granted was $12,007 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: our stock price on date of grant ($0.11), expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 76.15%, risk-free interest rate of 1.43%, and expected term of 6.25 years. The fair value of the debt discount related to the convertible note was $20,694 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: our stock price on the date of grant ($0.11), expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 87.67%, risk-free interest rate of 0.07%, and expected term of .67 years. The fair value of the stock and cash given in consideration for issuing the convertible notes was $11,000 and $10,000, respectively. The convertible notes called for the payment of one-half of the stock and cash upon issuing the convertible notes and the remainder upon the repayment of the notes. As of March 31, 2014, $5,500 in stock and $5,000 in cash had been satisfied and the remainder due is reflected in accounts payable.
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 $.001 per share at an exercise price of $.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 is payable on March 31, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest is 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 $.10 of principal and interest converted.
On January 24, 2014, the Company issued and sold a convertible promissory note in the amount of $27,500, bearing interest at 10% per annum and due on December 31, 2014. The note payable is convertible into common shares of the Company at the lower of $0.07 per share or 60% of the average weighted share price in the 20 days before the conversion date. On issuance, an original issue discount of $ 2,500 was recorded which is being amortized over the term of the note payable. A derivative liability was recorded related to the conversion feature of the note in the amount of $22,757.

On February 21, 2014, the Company issued and sold a convertible promissory note in the amount of $ 222,500, bearing interest at 10% per annum and due on December 21, 2014. The note payable is convertible into common shares of the Company at $0.11 per share. On issuance, an original issue discount of $ 22,500 was recorded which is being amortized over the term of the note payable.
On March 31, 2014, the Company issued and sold a convertible promissory note in the amount of $ 63,000, bearing interest at 10% per annum and due on March 31, 2015. The note payable is convertible into common shares of the Company at the lower of $0.11 per share or 60% of the average weighted share price in the 20 days before the conversion date. On issuance, an original issue discount of $ 3,000 was recorded which is being amortized over the term of the note payable. A derivative liability was recorded related to the conversion feature of the note in the amount of $55,251. The derivative liability was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: our stock price on the date of grant ($0.10), expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 93.50%, risk-free interest rate of 0.12%, and expected term of 1.00 year.
NOTE 5 – LOANS FROM OFFICERS

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide information to assist you in better understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. Brazil Minerals, Inc. (“Brazil Minerals”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) recommends that you read this MD&A in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2014 (the “2013 10-K”).
This MD&A contains forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements for Brazil Minerals 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.
Overview
Brazil Minerals, together with its subsidiaries, is in the business of mining and selling diamonds and gold. We also own the exploration rights to a gold and copper property and have an option on a mineral property with titanium, vanadium, and iron. Our revenues come from sales of polished as well as rough diamonds, and gold.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company owned 55% of Mineração Duas Barras Ltda. (“Duas Barras”), a Brazilian company with two mineral rights, including a mining concession, and operations in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. Duas Barras mines and sells diamonds and gold. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we focused on improvements to our operations in Duas Barras which included the acquisition of vital capital equipment for production (excavator, bulldozer, truck, portable generator and motor) that replaced expensive monthly rentals. Furthermore, as discussed in past public filings, given that the period of the first quarter is the rainy season in the region where Duas Barras is located, and local miners usually diminish or cease productive alluvial operations, maintenance of our plant and equipment was undertaken. Additionally, we have taken steps to reserve rough production for processing into polished diamonds, which have higher margins. Therefore, revenues in the first quarters of 2013 and 2014 were minimal.
The first quarter of 2014 had the following corporate highlights:
| (1) | We received $1,048,000 in cash without the outright sale of any of our stock; this cash consisted of $525,000 in deferred revenues from sales of polished diamonds for forward delivery and $523,000 in convertible notes; |
| (2) | Operating activities generated net cash of $255,877; |
| (3) | We purchased $244,000 in vital mining equipment for Duas Barras allowing us to retire expensive monthly rentals; |
| 3 |
| (4) | We paid off and retired a $25,000 note from 2013; |
| (5) | We added a preeminent Brazilian mining lawyer who is also a licensed geologist to our Board of Directors; |
While our financial results are in part tied to the price of diamonds and gold, both commodities that are traded globally, the biggest factor by far in generating revenues and profits is our ability to effectively mine diamonds and gold. Alluvial mines, such as Duas Barras, are not homogeneous: some mining fronts have very rich concentration of diamondiferous and auriferous gravel whereas others do not. Additionally, some areas have easy access, whereas others may be underwater, and thus require water removal prior to excavation. Our ability to choose the mining fronts to pursue and to provide the necessary equipment, fuel, and labor are a significant factor in our results.
Results of Operations
Quarter Ended March 31, 2014, Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2013
For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we recorded a net loss of $394,412, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $176,825, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase in our loss per share was primarily attributable to increased operating expenses. Brazil Minerals is much more robust and diverse operationally as of March 31, 2014 than a year earlier, and has more employees and consultants.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we recognized revenue of $4,282, and allocated $525,000 as deferred revenue, compared to total revenue of $5,763 and no deferred revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The change is attributable to operational progress at Duas Barras. Of significance to explain our ability to forward sell diamonds is that we obtained from the Brazilian federal authority the license to export rough and polished diamonds. Furthermore, we have located a highly experienced cutter and polisher to take selected rough diamonds from our production and provide us with polished diamonds, ready for sale to local jewelry chains or for export.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2014, our cash was $665,461 and our working capital was ($156,297). The negative working capital number is explainable by the fact that $500,000 were received in a pre-sale of diamonds for delivery until March 31, 2015, and this amount is accounted for as a liability until actual delivery of the diamonds occurs. However, in the unexpected eventuality of non-delivery of any portion of these diamonds, the Company would not have to return the cash, as it has pledged stock as collateral. As of March 31, 2014, we had accrued expenses of $223,333, and $516,733 in indebtedness for borrowed money, net of debt discount.
During the first quarter of 2014, we received an aggregate of $1,048,000 in gross proceeds as a result of various financings and pre-sales of polished diamonds. A description of such transactions is set forth in Item 1 of the 2013 10-K.
We believe there is sufficient capital to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. However, we may need additional capital to fund the purchase price for future acquisitions or investments and may seek equity or debt financing for such purposes.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, loans to a related party, accrued expenses, and an amount due to a director. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in our financial statements. If our estimate of the fair value is incorrect at March 31, 2014, it could negatively affect our financial position and liquidity and could result in our having understated our net loss.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the financial statements. We have reviewed all recent accounting pronouncements issued to the date of the issuance of these financial statements, and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on us.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the design, operation, and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2014. On the basis of that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure were not effective for the reasons described in Item 4(b), but we intend to make them effective by the actions described in Item 4(b).
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and to our Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on his evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, he concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2014 in certain respects as described below.
As of March 31, 2014 the Company had the following significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting. While Duas Barras, the source of all of the Company’s revenues and the vast majority of its transactions, did have adequate segregation of accounting functions, there was less segregation elsewhere due to the Company’s small size. The Company has no dedicated internal accounting staff and relies on outsourced accountants in both Brazil, where the majority of its operations are located, as well as in North America. Additionally, during 2013, the Company performed an analysis of its inventory only at year end.
| 5 |
Management believes that these significant deficiencies set forth above did not have a material effect on our financial results. However, in an effort to remediate them and to enhance our internal controls, we plan to initiate the following series of measures: We will seek to identify and hire accountants that are bilingual in English and Portuguese, versed in both US GAAP and Brazil’s International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and experienced in making the necessary transformations between IFRS to GAAP. We will also perform an analysis of the fair value of our inventory on a regular basis.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the first quarter of 2014 that materially affected, or would be reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On January 24, 2014, we received proceeds of $25,000 from an investment by Black Mountain Equities in exchange for an unsecured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $27,500.
