THE VANIS REVERSE SPLIT BENCHMARK & SCORECARD!



I will update this scorecard regularly and post the results and encourage everyone to publish the scorecard on all Social Media sites!



A PPS of .2599 or under is FAILING. Excuses of a FAILING scorecard are not acceptable, the PPS Benchmark will speak for itself, the share structure will be super small compared to pre-split, NO EXCUSES ACCEPTED, PERIOD! TIME TO DELIVER VANIS!!!

Vanis made the statement and acknowledgement that the shareholders are “co-owners”! I don’t see how it is possible that he and his business partners could be successful in this company and the shareholders not be equally rewarded since we are “co-owners”, right! Here is his comment… “We have worked very hard to deliver on promises and earn the trust and respect of our co-owners (shareholders). “

Remember this one…. Will he use traditional financing versus using shareholders as free money through share dilution!!! Remember this statement made by VANIS on traditional financing!

1/8/2015… “All mature Minerco convertible notes have a zero balance AS THE COMPANY COMPLETES THE TRANSITION TO MORE TRADITIONAL, NON-DILUTIVE FINANCING”. The key word here is “COMPLETES” in the statement made by VANIS to all of his loyal shareholders. That means NON-DILUTIVE FINANCING IS DONE, FINISHED, RIGHT! This statement is either true or a BIG lie!!! He has all the controls in how fast to grow the company with respect to his shareholders! That translates to using Traditional financing and respecting the loyal shareholders or diluting with total disrespect for the shareholders! He is in full control. There are no acceptable excuses! When he talked about market saturation, I thought we had a chance at being rewarded, but greed is apparently kicking in doing whatever it takes to realize his dream at our expense through share structure destruction! Let’s see if he continues to destroy the share structure at our expense!

The issue for a CEO here in the OTC is that it is too easy to overspend and justify it if all you have to do is keep going back to the well for free money (AKA, a Reverse Split followed by DILUTION) all the while building a kingdom! Then you can just ignore the social media sites and delete most of the hate mail, respond to a couple, issue a PR, a few filings and cash in on the assortment of winning lottery tickets. At the end of the day, its really just that simple for the unethical, unscrupulous and despicable CEO's! I don't think the general public is really aware of this as a strategy, yet. Is that what Vanis is doing remains to be seen. His actions, outcome and our investment losses or gains will speak for themselves soon enough!

Vanis is playing with and effecting over $8 million dollars of common shareholders money pre-split using .0026 PPS on 8/31/2015. That amount of money deserves accountability! I'm not suggesting that .0026 as a benchmark was a good or great PPS. It is just a break-even benchmark of VANIS passing or failing on the RS for the shareholders. Accountability lies with all the partners, Darin Ezra (DIR., Athena Brands, Inc., CEO of PowerBrands, Intl.), Dan Gingsberg (Former CEO Red Bull), Peter Strahm (CEO of Drink King) and Gary Smith (CEO of Big Red), they are all in lock-step with Vanis. Quote: “Even our industry advisors and brand partners are impressed by the success and speed of the market’s acceptance of and demand for VitaminFIZZ.” http://www.minercoresources.com/news.php?p=117. Quote: “According to our expert beverage partners and advisors, what we have accomplished in 100 days is nothing short of impressive.” http://www.minercoresources.com/news.php?p=103

I am not happy with the RS at all and I don’t trust Vanis at this point, its show me now! I worked too hard for my money to give it to him to make him successful while investors take losses. I think of the $8 million+ dollars (ultra conservative total value of $MINE when the R/S was announced). How many hours did all the shareholders have to work to achieve that investment?

The national average wage index for 2013 was $44,888.16. It rises around 1-2% each year, http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/COLA/AWI.html. That’s an average of $21.63 cents an hour. Using the ultra conservative amount of $8 million dollars at the disposal of Vanis, that is 369,778 (plus or minus) hours of labor exerted by the shareholders and trusted to Vanis to grow his company! In return he needs to reward his loyal shareholders as stated on many occasions!

Remember what Vanis told us that his Father told him when he decreased shareholder value by increasing the A/S and O/S structure by 1 billion shares and created a huge problem with the PPS!

He said “”On a more personal note, I am reminded of what my Father always told me (still tells me)…

A popular decision is easy to make. Unfortunately, the right or correct decision is not always popular (whether you’re a father, a coach, a CEO or any other type of leader). But in the end, it is imperative to make the correct decision to protect, to win and/or to grow what is truly important (again, whether it’s the family, the team or the company). While we all prefer to make popular decisions, the correct (often unpopular) decisions are what define us.

IT IS MY JOB TO PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT, while picking the fights to win and growing OUR company into the Monster we plan to be. I CAN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU (our shareholders). I THANK YOU, AND ALL THE LONG MINERS, FOR YOUR LOYALTY, YOUR UNDERSTANDING, YOUR SUPPORT, YOUR TRUST AND, MOST OF ALL, YOUR ENTHUSIASM. I have been doing this a long time, and I can honestly tell you: I have never experienced such an energizing group in any business. Our company, because of you, can and will build something that we can pass along to the next generation.””

My comment to Vanis about his Father is I’m sure his Father also must have told him to be honest, ethical, loyal and honor his own words and commitments. Particularly this one “Reward your loyalty.”. That translates to making sure the shareholders are making profits, not taking losses to provide capital to the Vanis success fund!

Either this is true or it isn't and every move he is making is calculated, he said he worked on the plan for six months and had allot of help.... case-in-point...
Quote: "After more than six months of planning, consultations and meetings with financial / banking partners, the generalities of this coming move are finalized. " http://www.minercoresources.com/news.php?p=126 .

Vanis has everything to prove to the loyal shareholders at this point!

Will Vanis deliver for his loyal shareholders that 1) provided capital to get him where he is today, 2) helped contribute additional revenues as HUGE consumers of his products and 3) catalysts as a marketing arm for him through social media and such promoting his brands and stock!

His honesty and integrity remains to be seen! How bad would that be if the very people that help you achieve success in every way possible get screwed! If a CEO screwed their shareholders over and over while they became very successful, how would the other CEO's of large companies carrying their product lines handle a very public story of this kind, the answer is not very well!

Remember the Share Buyback!!!
4/29/2014... From V. Scott Vanis, our CEO from the Conference call and filed in an 8k with the SEC.
Quote ""when revenues allow and I think it will be allot sooner than people think, we plan to initiate an aggressive share buy-back program.”
- Audio from the Conference call. http://audio.viavid.com/20140429-108939-minercores.mp3
- 8K filing, notes from Conference Call. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1451514/000135448814002249/mine_ex101.htm.

6/29/2014... From: V. Scott Vanis email to shareholders
Quote: "A share buyback is planned when we have revenues significant enough to do so responsibly. “
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=107669115 "

Remember this… “We have experienced impressive growth in just seven short months; however, that growth, we believe, will potentially pale in comparison to what we have planned for the next five months going forward."

The measurement for the Vanis lie detector test is in the outcomes and is real simple!
OUTCOME #1, VANIS, his Partners, the company and the loyal shareholders (co-owners as stated by VANIS) all realize success. The loyal shareholders see profits, not losses. That translates to a a CEO that is Honest, Ethical, Truthful and rewards his loyal shareholders.
OUTCOME #2, VANIS, his Partners, the company achieve success and the loyal shareholders (co-owners as stated by VANIS) lose and get screwed == Dishonest, unethical, liar, uses shareholders for free money, no accountability, unscrupulous, despicable, must be held accountable in a creative kind of way! Freedom of the press distributed to the heart of the product-based partners!

Remember all the great things he said about the shareholders, how about this one ""REWARD THE LOYAL SHAREHOLDERS!""

Here's a collection of the shareholder related words conveyed from the mouth of Vanis in communications to his loyal shareholders! Did he tell the truth or did he lie to his loyal shareholders, the Benchmark and Scorecard will tell the truth!
