Next Graphite, Inc.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

Next Graphite, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 26, 2012 under the name Zewar Jewellery, Inc. and is a development-stage entity. The Company's current business plan is to engage in the mining business developing graphite properties located in Namibia. The Company is based in Carson City, Nevada

On November 14, 2013, the Company consummated transactions pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) dated November 14, 2013 by and among the Company and the stockholders of African Graphite, Inc., a private Nevada corporation (“AGI” and the “AGI Stockholders”) whereby AGI Stockholders transferred 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of AGI held by them, in exchange for an aggregate of 8,980,047 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).

On November 14, 2013, AGI entered into a Stock Purchase Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with NMC Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (“NMC”), whereby NMC granted to AGI an option to purchase 90 ordinary shares, par value one Namibian dollar per share, of Gazania Investments Two Hundred and Forty Two (Proprietary) Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Namibia ("Gazania"), representing 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of Gazania, for $240,000. NMC had entered into an option agreement dated March 29, 2013, as amended on November 4, 2013 (the “Centre Agreement”), with Centre for Geoscience Research CC (formerly known as “Industrial Minerals and Rock Research Centre CC”), a company organized under the laws of the Republic of Namibia ("Centre"), whereby Centre agreed to transfer to Gazania 100% undivided interest in the exclusive prospecting license No. 3895 known as AUKAM originally issued to Centre by the government of the Republic of Namibia on April 4, 2011 and renewed on April 4, 2013 (the “License”). The License grants the right to conduct prospecting operations, bulk sampling and pilot production in the license area called AUKAM located in southern Namibia in the Karas Region within the Betaine district. The license area covers about 49,127 hectares. The only mine in Namibia which has produced graphite is situated in the license area. The transfer of the License to Gazania was approved by the Ministry of Mines and Energy of the Republic of Namibia on February 25, 2014.

Under the Option Agreement, AGI was required to pay to NMC $90,000 as an advance payment to be credited towards the purchase price of the Gazania shares. The Company made the advance payment on November 14, 2013. The balance of the purchase price in the amount of $150,000 was paid by AGI upon exercise of the option that was completed on March 14, 2014. As a result, Gazania became a direct 90% owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company acquired the remaining 10% ownership of Gazania for $15,000 in the third quarter of 2015. As a result, Gazania became a direct 100% owned subsidiary of the Company.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred approximately $4,805,285 in operating deficit since its inception, and has generated no operating revenue, which could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In view of these matters, realization of the assets of the Company is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements through equity financing and the success of future operations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

F-4

NOTE 3 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on April 14, 2016. The operating results or cash flows for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.

NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition, Deferred Revenue and Customer Deposits

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and delivery of products has occurred or services have been rendered. The Company did not have product sales for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

The Company received customer deposit for potential usage of Company’s license in the amount of $85,481 and $60,491 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Income Taxes

Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable and deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are provided on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements and tax operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold based on the technical merits of the positions. Estimated interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of general and administrative expense.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per common share amounts are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share amounts are computed assuming the issuance of common stock for potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.

F-5

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for accounts payable, and related party payables approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported for convertible notes payable approximate fair value based on the value of the common stock into which the notes are convertible. The carrying amounts reported for notes payable approximate fair value because the underlying instruments are at interest rates that approximate current market rates.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

	●	Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company holds. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
	●	Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted prices in markets that are not active for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
	●	Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

The Company has Level 3 financial instrument, an embedded derivative liability (beneficial conversion feature) that is recorded at fair value on periodic basis. The embedded derivative is evaluated under the hierarchy of ASC 480-10, ASC Paragraph 815-25-1 and ASC Subparagraph 815-10-15-74 addressing embedded derivatives. The fair value of such Level 3 financial instrument is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The foregoing Level 3 financial instrument has certain provisions which qualifies to be classified as a liability under ASC 815.

As of June 30, 2016, the following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Description	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Derivative liability	$	-	$	-	$	53,715

As of December 31, 2015, the following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The provisions of this ASU are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU would require lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date; (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged under the amendments of this ASU. The provisions of this ASU are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU establishes specific guidance to an organization’s management on their responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern. The provisions of ASU 2014-15 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. This ASU is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue by removing inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements; providing a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues; improving comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets; and providing more useful information to users of financial statements through improved revenue disclosure requirements. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, deferring the effective date by one year for ASU No. 2014-09. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

The Company issued convertible notes payable. The outstanding balance and any accrued interest is due on maturity date or when the cash is available to repay the notes payable. Under the agreement, the notes can be convertible at the holder’s discretion into common shares of the Company’s stock at a 25% discount to the price at the date of exercise.

The Company’s convertible notes payable is as follows:

Convertible Note	Issuance Date	Maturity Date	Interest Rate			Original Borrowing		Balance at June 30, 2016 (unaudited)			Balance at December 31, 2015

Note 1	October 2, 2014	December 31, 2015		5.0	%	$	100,000	$	100,000		$	100,000
Note 2	June 10, 2015	March 13, 2016		8.0	%	$	28,000	$	-		$	-
Note 3	December 23, 2015	September 23, 2016		8.0	%	$	21,000	$	21,000		$	21,000

Total									121,000			121,000

Debt Discount									(5,483	)		(9,333	)

Net balance								$	115,517		$	111,667

The convertible notes with the maturity date that has matured at the time the financial statements are issued continued to accrue interest and no default penalties were incurred. No convertible notes were converted as of June 30, 2016 and up to the date the financial statements are issued.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”) (previously EITF 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock”), as the convertible note agreement contained certain provision that the convertible note failed to pass the “fixed for fixed” criteria of ASC815, the conversion feature of the convertible debt should have to be bifurcated and recorded separately until the conversion date.

Based on ASC 815, the Company determined that the convertible debt contained embedded derivatives and full-ratchet provision which the Company valued the embedded derivative using the Black-Scholes method. The following table represents fair value of embedded derivative movement from the date of issuance to June 30, 2016:

Embedded Derivative Liabilities	Fair Value at Date of Issuance		Changes in Fair Value			Fair Value at June 30, 2016 (unaudited)

Note 1 – Issued in 2014	$	70,334	$	(37,001	)	$	33,333
Note 2 – Issued in 2015	$	20,000	$	(20,000	)	$	-
Note 3 – Issued in 2015	$	21,000	$	(618	)	$	20,382

Total			$	(57,619	)	$	53,715

As a result of initial recording of derivative liability of $41,000 for convertible notes issued in 2015 with proceeds of $49,000 the Company recorded debt discount of $30,500 at the date of issuance of convertible note payable for issuances occurred in 2015. The Company recorded additional debt discount of $10,500 in June 2015 to true up the debt discount balance. The original debt discount amount of $30,500 should have been recorded as $41,000. The Company accretes debt discount of $41,000 for convertible notes issued in 2015 and $70,334 for convertible note issued in 2014 over the life of the convertible note. The Company recorded accretion of $7,000 and $0 for the three months ended on June 30, 2016 and 2015 which is recorded as interest expense.

The following table represents fair value of embedded derivative movement from the date of issuance to December 31, 2015:

Embedded Derivative Liabilities	Fair Value at Date of Issuance		Changes in Fair Value			Fair Value at December 31, 2015

Note 2 – Issued in 2015	$	20,000	$	(20,000	)	$	-
Note 3 – Issued in 2015	$	10,500	$	21,000		$	31,500

Total			$	6,856		$	107,690

As a result of initial recording of derivative liability of $30,500 for convertible notes issued in 2015 with proceeds of $49,000 the Company recorded debt discount of $30,500 at the date of issuance of convertible note payable for issuances occurred in 2015. The Company accretes debt discount of $30,500 for convertible notes issued in 2015 and $70,334 for convertible note issued in 2014 over the life of the convertible note. Interest incurred for the three months ended on June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $0 and $1,251 (excluding debt discount accretion of $17,583 which is also recorded as interest expense).

NOTE 9 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements under FASB 740-10-65-1 to give effect to the temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods and allowances based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years. Minimal development stage deferred tax assets arising as a result of net operating loss carry-forwards have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods.

The Company recognizes interest accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expense. During the period from August 28, 2013 (inception) to June 30, 2016, the Company recognized no income tax related interest and penalties. The Company had no accruals for income tax related interest and penalties at June 30, 2016.

Plan of Operations

The Company's current business plan is to engage in the mining business developing graphite properties located in Namibia. As previously reported in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on April 14, 2016, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JVA”) with Micron Investments Pty. Ltd. a private company based in Namibia (“Micron”) on June 8, 2015, which was subsequently amended on July 10 and July 17, 2015. Pursuant to the JVA, as amended, the Company and Micron agreed to enter into a Farm-Out Agreement, which the Company anticipates to be executed by September of 2016. The JVA and Farm-Out Agreement require Micron to pay the Company $180,000 in cash by the end of the Farm-Out period, and to pay $1.1 million to build and operate a graphite processing plant on the Company’s Aukam site, and to cover all related operational costs until 5 months after completion of the plant. The plant construction is expected to take roughly ten months. In exchange, Micron will receive, upon achievement of certain milestones, up to a 63% interest in the mining and mineral rights held by the Company at its Aukam site. The Company plans to retain a minimum of 37% interest in the mining and mineral rights held by the Company at its Aukam site, after having purchased the 10% interest held by the Centre for Geoscience Research CC pursuant to a purchase agreement with Gazania Investments Two Hundred and Forty Two Ltd., and Centre for Geosciences Research Close Corporation, dated August 6, 2015. As a result of this acquisition, the Company now has 100% ownership rights to the prospecting license to the Aukam property.

As previously reported in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on April 14, 2016, in July of 2015 Micron was acquired by CKR Carbon Corporation, a Canadian based corporation, formerly known as Caribou King Resources, Ltd. (“CKR”).

The JVA calls for CKR and the Company to begin processing immediately available surface dumps, which contain large quantities of high-grade graphite lumps, and develop its three existing adits as well as other locations on the Company’s 96,000 acre Aukam site. Favorable laboratory results were realized in 2015 and engineering and research continue on the adits and are planned to be expanded elsewhere on the property in 2016.

The JVA also calls for the plant to process up to 5,000 tonnes of processed graphite tailings per year. Initial production is anticipated to commence in the second or third fiscal quarter of 2017. Moreover, as previously reported in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on April 14, 2016, our Joint Venture Partner signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) in March of 2016 for us to supply 5,000 tonnes of unrefined graphite from our Aukam site.

The Company’s near term objectives are to negotiate, execute and consummate the Farm-Out Agreement with CKR as discussed above and work towards fulfilling the orders under the LOI mentioned above. The Company and its JV Partner also plans to commence the building of the processing plant once the permanent mining license is secured, with preparation for that currently underway.

The Company expects to realize revenues from the sales planned to be made under the LOI in the third fiscal quarter of 2016. However, there are no assurances that purchase orders will commence or that construction of the processing plant will be completed on schedule, if at all. There can also be no assurances that the Company can recognize any revenues under the LOI. There can also be no guaranty that the Farm-Out agreement with Micron will be consummated, or if it is consummated, that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

Recent Developments

Results of Operations

Operating expenses were $82,148 and $203,295 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to $ and $95,184 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The increase was primarily due to increase in professional fees.

Other income were $213,666 and $34,045 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to other expense were $156,457 and $159,416 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The change in other income (expense) was primarily to due to changes in value of derivative, debt discount amortization and interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2016, we had $5,359 in cash.

The Company does not currently have sufficient resources to cover ongoing expenses and expansion. From August 2013 to June 30, 2016, we consummated various private placements of our securities, which resulted in net proceeds to us of $1,541,800. We used $240,000 out of the net proceeds to make a payment to NMC under the Option Agreement in connection with the option grant closing and the option exercise closing. Under the Option Agreement, we undertook to provide at least $260,000 of working capital to or for the benefit of Gazania from the option grant closing date to September 30, 2014. We plan on raising additional funds from investors to implement our business model. In the event we are unsuccessful, this will have a negative impact on our operations.

If the Company cannot find sources of additional financing to fund its working capital needs, the Company will be unable to obtain sufficient capital resources to operate our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to access any financing in sufficient amounts or at all when needed. Our inability to obtain sufficient working capital funding will have an immediate material adverse effect upon our financial condition and our business.

Critical Accounting Policies

Development stage entity

The Company is considered a development stage entity, as defined in FASB ASC 915, because since inception it has not commenced operations that have resulted in significant revenue and the Company’s efforts have been devoted primarily to activities related to raising capital.

Going concern

The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of obligations in the normal course of business. However, it has $5,359 in cash, has losses and an accumulated deficit, and a working capital deficiency. The Company does not currently have any revenue generating operations. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to, meets its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and the success of its future operations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

Management believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan and acquire an operating company with positive cash flow. Management intends to seek new capital from owners and related parties to provide needed funds.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as "special purpose entities" (SPEs).

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.
