NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim financial statements
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company issues stock-based compensation awards to contractors, vendors and for marketing purposes. This compensation is generally in the form of restricted shares of common stock.
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the awards' fair value which is generally the quoted market value of common shares on the date that the contract mandating the award issuance is executed. The Company recognizes the expense on a straight-line basis over the service period of the related contract. However, if shares of common stock are issued as of the inception of a contract period and the Company does not have the right to recover any of the shares for nonperformance, the entire expense is recognized at the inception date of the contract.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic and diluted net income per common share has been calculated by dividing the net income for the period by the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding assuming that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. There were no dilutive shares outstanding at January 31, 2014 or 2012. Issuable common stock is not included in the calculation of basic or diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding because including these shares would be antidilutive.
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements-Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”), the Company reported the results of its commercial cleaning services as a discontinued operation. The results of operations of business dispositions are segregated from continuing operations and reflected as discontinued operations in current and prior periods. The application of the principle is discussed in Note 5, Discontinued Operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
There were no new accounting pronouncements that had a significant impact on the Company’s operating results or financial position.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had negative working capital and a net stockholders’ deficit at January 31, 2014 and had no committed source of debt or equity financing.
While the Company is emphasizing a new product line involving the manufacture and sale of sports performance or energy drinks along with any other non-alcoholic beverage under the trade name, Throwdown, there are uncertainties as to whether the Company will obtain sufficient financing to introduce and distribute the planned product or, if distributed, there will be sufficient market demand for the products.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

Description | | 2014 | | | 2013 | |
On November 15, 2012, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with an unaffiliated party (the “Third Party”) under which the Company received a one-year loan with a principal balance of $100,000. The loan bears interest at 20% per annum with interest payments due quarterly. In addition, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock to the lender and Mr. Holley and McBride pledged their 56,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as collateral and transferred 1,000,000 shares of free trading shares to the lender. If the Company goes into default of the provisions of the loan, it becomes convertible into the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.001 per share (100 million shares). If an event of default occurs, the lender will have the ability of becoming the controlling shareholder of the Company. The Company recorded deferred financing costs of $560,000 in connection with these transfers. The deferred financing costs is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan or twelve months. The company reflected amortization on the deferred financing costs in the amount of $148,111 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, which is reflected in the statement of operations. On June 20, 2013, the Company and the Third party entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Amended Note”) which amended certain terms of the Note. Pursuant to the Amended Note, the Company’s repayment of the principal balance of the Amended Note is secured by all the assets of the Company. In addition, the provisions of the Note whereby Mssrs. Holley and McBride pledged 56,250,000 of their shares of common stock of the Company were removed. | | $ | 100,000 | | | $ | 100,000 | |

The lender, at its discretion, may provide funds up to $300,000 to the Company. It provided $60,000 at the closing of the agreement on April 30, 2013. All loans under the agreement are payable in full one year after the funds are issued together with a prorated portion of the original issue discount.

Commencing five days after the occurrence of an Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of the Debenture, the interest rate on the Debenture shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. In connection with the sale of the Debenture, on April 30, 2013 (the “Initial Exercise Date”) the Company issued the purchaser of the Debenture a warrant to purchase 3,726,708 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.03 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the debenture). The Warrant is exercisable on a cashless basis (as provided in the Warrant) and as a result there is no assurance that any part of the Warrant will be exercised for cash. The warrant terminates three years from the Initial Exercise Date and on such date the Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise. The fair market value of the warrant was $50,777 on the date of issuance. | | | 40,000 | | | | 55,000 | |

NOTE 4 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
The convertible notes payable each contain a variable conversion feature (the Variable Conversion Feature) that gives rise to a derivative liability. We have measured this derivative at fair value and recognized the derivative value as a current liability and recorded the derivative value on our consolidated balance sheet. The derivative is valued primarily using models based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little to no market activity. These inputs represent management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the liability at the measurement date and thus are classified as Level 3. Changes in the fair values of the derivative are recognized in earnings in the current period. During the year ended July 31, 2013, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $235,165 related to the variable conversion feature of several convertible notes payable and recognized a change in the derivative liability of $7,265. At July 31, 2013, derivative liability was $242,430. Convertible notes payable issued during the six months ended January 31, 2014 and changes in volatility and interest rates resulted in an increase in the derivative liability of $656,920. The increase (decrease) in derivative liability during the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 was ($241,147) and $656,920, respectively, resulting in a balance of $899,350 as of January 31, 2014.

NOTE 8 – RESTATEMENT
On March 21, 2014, in the process of preparing its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31, 2014, the Company’s management became aware that the Company’s financial statements in the annual report for the year ended July 31, 2012 erroneously did not give effect to shareholder advances for the payment of accounting fees and improperly treated shares issued for services as a liability as opposed to equity. In addition, the Company determined that during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, it had (1) erroneously excluded from the derivative liability valuation a contract entered into late in the fiscal year that allowed for the settlement of the Company’s financial obligations under the contract in the Company’s common stock, based upon the price of the Company’s stock at the time of settlement; and, (2) excluded the value of common stock to be issued for services performed from the financial statements resulting in an understatement of compensation expense.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain matters discussed herein are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Qinvolve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to:
| ● | our future operating results; |
| ● | any contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties; |
| ● | the dependence of our future success on the general economy; |
| ● | any possible financings; and |
| ● | the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital. |
These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as we “believe," “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate” or words of similar meaning. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which are described in close proximity to such statements and which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated as of the date of filing of this Form 10-Q. Shareholders, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are only made as of the date of filing of this Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
Recent Developments
Our independent registered auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion on our financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013 that states that our lack of resources cause substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Operations
We were founded as an unincorporated DBA in February 1997 and were incorporated as a C corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 11, 2010. The incorporation effort included the Company issuing 10,000,000 shares of common stock to Patricia G. Skarpa, who founded and managed the business which had been operating continuously as a DBA since February 1997, and 300,000 shares to Hallie Beth Skarpa, our other director, for services rendered. These services involving the incorporation planning were valued at $10,300. Hallie Beth Skarpa is the daughter of Patricia G. Skarpa. The day-to-day operations of the Company did not change as a result of the change in legal structure.
On January 10, 2012, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, TO Sports Innovation, Inc. (“TO”), in Nevada. TO was inactive until March 15, 2012. Its name was changed to Dethrone Beverage, Inc. (“DB”).
In April 2012, DB entered into an exclusive license agreement with Dethrone Royalty, Inc. giving DB the right to use the Dethrone trademark worldwide in connection with the manufacture and sale of sports performance or energy drinks along with any other non-alcoholic beverage under the trade name, Dethrone Beverages.
The License Agreement with Dethrone Royalty, Inc. is for five years and requires payments as follows:
Year | | | Royalty |
1 | | | 12% of Gross Profit |
2 | | | $50,000 plus 8% of Gross Profit |
3 | | | $100,000 or 6% of Gross profit, whichever is higher |
4 | | | $150,000 or 6% of Gross profit, whichever is higher |
5 | | | $200,000 or 6% of Gross profit, whichever is higher |
The License Agreement with Dethrone Royalty, Inc. specifies minimum levels of sales which, if not attained by DB, gives Dethrone Royalty, Inc. the right to terminate the License Agreement. These minimums are as follows:
Year | | Minimum Sales | |
1 | | $ | -0- | |
2 | | $ | 3,000,000 | |
3 | | $ | 6,000,000 | |
4 | | $ | 9,000,000 | |
5 | | $ | 12,000,000 | |
The License Agreement with Dethrone Royalty, Inc. also requires the Company to maintain various liability insurance coverage.
The Company’s officers have formulas that will be used for the initial products that are planned. They have undertaken efforts to raise the financing necessary to manufacture the initial products using outside contractors and implement marketing programs. The initial expenditures are being used for:
| ● | Production of bottles, labels and caps, |
| ● | Purchase of inventory needed for beverage content, |
| ● | Travel and business expenses, and |
| ● | Shipping costs of our first orders. |
We began distributing our product in the first calendar quarter of 2013. Initially, we shipped two flavors of one product and will distribute in California to convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores and gyms. We ship product to distributors with net 30 day terms.
Three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013
The Company began shipping products to distributors in February 2013. Shipments were insignificant during the quarter ending January 31, 2014 and generated sales of $1,108. There were no sales in the quarter ending January 31, 2013.
Cost of goods sold during the three months ended January 31, 2014 were $2,971, which exceeded of sales by $1,863, resulting in a gross loss of $(1,863). This was due to the high cost of the initial product runs due to start up tooling costs and a lack of economies of scale in the manufacturing process.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $103,142, from $122,293 during the three months ended January 31, 2013 to $19,151 during the three months ended January 31, 2014. The decrease was due to lower professional fees for legal and accounting services and consulting services.
Marketing expense decreased by $132,684, from $139,998 during the three months ended January 31, 2013 to $7,314 during the three months ended January 31, 2014. The decrease was due to lower promotional costs.
Compensation increased by $40,432, from $12,500 during the three months ended January 31, 2013 to $52,932 during the three months ended January 31, 2014. The increase was due to an increase of $10,700 in cash compensation and an increase in share based compensation issued in connection with professional athlete endorsement contracts of $33,730.
Other income (expense) increased $405,280 from $(298,455) during the three months ended January 31, 2013 to 106,825 during the three months ended January 31, 2014, as a result of the change in derivative liability of $(241,147) and an increase of $44,673 in interest expense due to increased levels of debt.
Net income for the three months ended January 31, 2014, was $106,825 compared to a net loss of $298,455 during the three months ended January 31, 2014, an decrease of $405,280. The change is primarily due to the change in derivative liability and lower spending during the quarter ended January 31, 2014.
Six months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013
The Company began shipping products to distributors in February 2013. Shipments were insignificant during the six months ending January 31, 2014 and generated sales of $1,481. There were no sales in the six months ending January 31, 2013.
Cost of goods sold during the six months ended January 31, 2014 were $4,363, which exceeded of sales by $2,882, resulting in a gross profit $(2,882). This was due to the high cost of the initial product runs due to start up tooling costs and a lack of economies of scale in the manufacturing process.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $78,912, from $175,673 during the six months ended January 31, 2013 to $96,761 during the six months ended January 31, 2014. The decrease was due to lower professional fees for legal and accounting services and consulting services.
Marketing expense decreased by $168,737, from $183,129 during the six months ended January 31, 2013 to $14,392 during the six months ended January 31, 2014. The decrease was due to lower promotional costs.
Compensation increased by $725,492, from $314,500 during the six months ended January 31, 2013 to $1,039,992 during the six months ended January 31, 2014. The increase was due to an increase of $10,700 in cash compensation and an increase in share based compensation issued in connection with professional athlete endorsement contracts of $1,029,292.
Other income (expense) increased $910,861 from $8,389 during the six months ended January 31, 2013 to $919,250 during the six months ended January 31, 2014, as a result of the change in derivative liability of $656,920 and an increase of $253,941 in interest expense due to increased levels of debt, discount amortization and deferred financing cost amortization.
Net income for the six months ended January 31, 2014, was $(2,073,277) compared to a net loss of $(718,710) during the six months ended January 31, 2014, a decrease of $1,354,567. The change is primarily due to the change in derivative liability, increased stock based compensation, and increased interest expense and related amortization during the quarter ended January 31, 2014.
Liquidity
The Company has financed its operations through the private placement of debt and its common stock.
We will continue to seek financing as necessary but cannot give any assurances that we will be successful in doing so.
We are a public company and, as such, have incurred and will continue to incur additional significant expenses for legal, accounting and related services. Once we become a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of '34, we will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses including annual reports and proxy statements, if required.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related notes requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements.
Financial Reporting Release No. 60 requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. There are no critical policies or decisions that rely on judgments that are based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made. The financial statements include a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Seasonality
We do not yet have a basis to determine whether our business will be seasonal.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, obligations under any guarantee contracts or contingent obligations. We also have no other commitments, other than the costs of being a public company that will increase our operating costs or cash requirements in the future
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
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our disclosure controls and procedures includes those policies and procedures that:
| · | Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; |
| · | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and |
| · | that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company's management and directors; and |
| · | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
As of January 31, 2014, our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. In making this assessment, management followed an approach based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (known as “COSO”). Based on this assessment, management determined that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in a timely manner. In forming this conclusion this officer considered the fact that we were unable to timely file our Form 10K for the year ended July 31, 2013 as well as our From 10Q for the quarter ended January 31, 2014. As such we had inherent weakness in our ability to timely file our financial reports with the SEC.
We have made significant attempts to correct this issue including entering into an agreement to outsource our accounting and financial reporting functions . Management believes this arrangement will ensure the timely filing of future financial reports.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this quarterly report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended January 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
