GENERAL NOTE

This annual report on Form 10-K is being filed by our company following the completion of our acquisition of substantially all of the assets, property and undertaking of the health beverage and food business operated under the name “KonaRed” (the “Business”) from Sandwich Isles Trading Co. Inc. (“Sandwich Isles”), a private Hawaiian corporation, on October 4, 2013, pursuant to the terms of an asset purchase agreement dated October 4, 2013 (the "Asset Agreement"). As a result of our acquisition of the Business from Sandwich Isles, we ceased to be a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

PA RT I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSIN ES S

Corporate Overview

In this annual report on Form 10-K the terms "KonaRed", “we”, “us”, “our”, the "Registrant", and the "Company” mean KonaRed Corporation. Unless otherwise stated, “$” refers to United States dollars.

On September 9, 2013, our Company effected a 13.5 to one forward stock split of our common stock. Unless otherwise indicated, the securities of our company referred to in this annual report on Form 10-K are the securities subsequent to the forward stock split.

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 4, 2010. Sandwich Isles was incorporated in the State of Hawaii on August 22, 2008. As a result of the closing of the Asset Agreement, the principal offices of our company are now located at 2829 Ala Kalani Kaumaka St., Suite F-133, Koloa, HI 96756.

Prior to and in anticipation of closing of the Asset Agreement, on September 9, 2013, our Company effected a name change by merging with our wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary named “KonaRed Corporation” with our Company as the surviving corporation under the new name “KonaRed Corporation”.

The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31st (prior to the Asset Agreement our fiscal year end was May 31 st and upon execution of the Asset Agreement on October 4, 2013, our fiscal year end changed to December 31st.)

The Company’s common stock traded publicly on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTC - BB) market under the trading symbol: KRED.

Description of Business

Overview

Following the closing of the Asset Agreement with Sandwich Isles, our company became engaged in the business of distributing, marketing and selling for retail sale the food and beverage products based on the fruit of the coffee plant.

Principal Products

Our principal product is our premium coffee fruit wellness drink, KonaRed Antioxidant Juice, offered to retail consumers. Previously discarded as a byproduct of coffee production, the fruit surrounding the coffee seed or bean has been recognized as a powerful anti-oxidant.

Our company’s consumer products line consists of the following proprietary formulations:

16 oz. KonaRed and KonaRed Lite Antioxidant Juice (2 servings)

Our company’s flagship beverage, the 16 oz. superfruit drink has experienced widespread placement in cold juice coolers in a myriad of major establishments.

32 oz. KonaRed Antioxidant Juice (4 servings)

Our 32 oz. is now being featured at a number of establishments in lieu of the standard 16 oz. (4-pack), augmenting our original products and selling at a volume discount price.

KonaRed Antioxidant Juice Cans (Single-Serve 12 oz.) Expanding our sphere in the grocery aisle or cooler, the our new aluminum can-based product will be offered in sparkling and flat styles and at a lower price point.

Other Products and Ingredients Division

The following products extensions were also added during fiscal 2013, but not actively marketed and thus had limited retail exposure during fiscal 2013:

●

KonaRed Stick Packs (10 per box)

●

KonaRed Hawaiian Superfruit Powder (100% soluble coffee fruit powder)

●

KonaRed Antioxidant Capsules

We also operate a branded ingredients division that sells fruit powers and extracts to parallel markets to allow our company to piggyback on resources of established players with widespread footprints in other health-oriented consumer product venues. While the majority of revenues are still derived primarily from beverage sales, we are optimistic that our ingredients division sales will contribute more materially to our future performance.

Operations, Facilities and Distribution Method for Our Products

Our Company uses a prototypical outsourcing business model, utilizing third parties for the bulk of our non-core business operations, such as manufacturing and coffee fruit extraction, while maintaining in-house control of our critical marketing, product development and warehousing and shipping functions. Exceptions to this approach have included our Company’s coffee fruit initial extraction facility in Maui which facilitated the creation of important protocols for optimal drying and extraction of the fruit. Early stage research and development (“R&D”) was also performed at a Maui facility as management focused from inception on the science behind the brand. As we grew we required larger production capacity and our Maui facility was shut down in March 2013.

When we gained full confidence that we had developed the necessary processing and manufacturing intellectual property (“IP”) with respect to processing and manufacturing our base ingredient (the coffee fruit), we transitioned our coffee fruit extraction to contract manufacturers. To ensure this tactical change was seamless, we initially moved a portion of the extraction to a California-based contract manufacturer within close proximity of our warehousing operation (described below), which is now where all extraction takes place.

Based on a cost-benefit analysis and the successful initial beverage roll-out in the west coast market, we also determined that warehousing and shipping functions were more efficiently handled in-house. Therefore in June 2012, our Company entered into a two-year lease for a 10,000 square foot facility in San Clemente, California, which also houses inventory for Malie, Inc., ('Malie') a beauty and spa products company owned by our Company’s founders, Dana and Shaun Roberts. Operating under the trade name Malie Organics, Malie’s operations were initiated in 2004 and the business is focused on the high-end Hawaiian and global resort channel, retail and online sales. Mrs. Roberts actively manages Malie in addition to performing her chief financial officer responsibilities for our Company. Our chief executive officer, Shaun Roberts, has no involvement in Malie’s day-to-day operations. As part of the operating

arrangement between the respective entities, Malie pays approximately $2,000 of the California warehouse lease and also pays a portion of staff salaries at the facility.

Facility	Square footage	Number of employees per site (1)	Lease expense per month

Corporate Head Office Kalaheo, Hawaii	700 sq ft	3	$700
Warehouse & Distribution Center San Clemente, California	10,000 sq ft	5	$7,267 (2) $7,539 (2)

(1) Additionally, CFO Dana Roberts works from Malie’s headquarters facility and 3 sales and marketing employees are based in Oahu, Hawaii in home office arrangements.

(2) Based on our agreed share of the total lease costs, which were $$9,266.70 per month for the period from January 1 to May 31, 2013; and $9,811.80 per month for the period from June 1 to December 31, 2013.

Supply and Distribution for Our Product

Our Company’s ability to secure exclusive Kona-based and other Hawaiian coffee fruit supplies has elevated the stature of the home grown brand image and should allow our Company to operate without constraints in the supply chain for the foreseeable future. We have been successful in securing a number of supply agreements structured as 5-year arrangements containing automatic roll-over provisions. The foregoing agreements generally provide that so long as our Company purchases raw material from the supplier, the supplier is obligated to provide raw material exclusively to our Company. Our Company’s principal supplier is

Table of Contents

Greenwell Farms, Inc., a Hawaii corporation. We recently renewed our Raw Material Acquisition Agreement with Greenwell, whereby Greenwell continued to agree that it would be an exclusive supplier of raw material so long as we purchase raw material from Greenwell.

We determine the amount of dried coffee fruit to purchase from our suppliers based on our annual sales forecasts and we have historically been accurate at estimating supply quantities based on projected sales. Since the fruit surrounding the coffee seed or bean was previously discarded as a byproduct of coffee production, such raw material has also remained readily available from coffee farms located in Hawaii and internationally. Therefore, although we currently have a principal supplier, in the event that we lose a principal supplier, we are confident that we would be able to ascertain raw material from other suppliers.

Exemplifying an extremely efficient Ingredients Division operating model, our Company takes possession of the dried coffee fruit from the grower, ships the raw material to our San Clemente warehouse for storage, subsequently sending required quantities to subcontractors for value-added processing and shipment to our consumer products customers such as Costco’s, Albertsons and Whole Foods Markets. The value-added processing consists of water based extraction whereby the dried coffee fruit is reduced to liquid extract, which processing generally takes approximately 24 hours to complete. We enter into agreements with our subcontractors based on their ability to create flavor solutions.

For our Company’s beverage production, the coffee fruit finished goods are sent to a 3rd party flavor house which makes the KonaRed concentrate and then ships it to our Company’s bottling vendors. Notably, we own the proprietary beverage formulas. Pallets of the ready-to-drink 16 oz. and 32 oz. SKUs are then shipped back to our Company’s warehouse and disseminated to either distributors or shipped directly to retailers.

The supply chain logistics are occasionally altered, as is the case with the “healthy coffee products” based on branding that are produced by large national coffee companies.

Market and Sales and Marketing

We believe our Company has established a frontrunner position in the coffee fruit category, boasting a series of retail entrees within 18 months of product launch. Setting out to first establish the upstart coffee fruit sector on our home turf, visible placement has in turn spawned similar opportunities on the west coast, representing an expanding presence with iconic industry players. Our Company’s eastward expansion is now underway in addition to a strategy of targeting additional sales avenues, including the restaurant and hospitality space and the pursuit of international prospects.

Sales Strategy

Facilitating our sales efforts through the use of beverage and natural foods distributors, our Company has been able to benefit from the highly entrenched positions occupied by these firms in the retail industry. In contrast, certain chains like Costco and Albertsons Arizona mandate direct shipments from the consumer product provider. Management has also retained manufacturers’ sales representatives in working to calibrate its overall sales efforts. During the roll-out, management has learned the importance of supporting its distributor network with internal sales personnel “on the ground.” Particularly for an emerging product, merchandising follow-up, dialog with store managers and coordination of promotions and pricing are critical in maintaining brand momentum. Our Company has also deployed demos extensively in its early stages and has found a linear connection between demos and sales traction, particularly at the introduction stage in new venues. Demos are often outsourced to specialists in the field and have represented a major expenditure for the business, although demo expense ratios are planned to decrease from previous product launch levels.

Table of Contents

Our Company has employed co-op advertising and special promotions in conjunction with its retail partners when deemed appropriate in its brand building efforts. To date, no slotting fees have been paid. A slotting fee is an amount paid by the manufacturer to the retailer for making room on its retail shelf for the product. It should be noted that our flagship beverage pricing levels have already been adjusted by our management to reflect the current pricing dynamics fostered by recent industry consolidation. Specifically, the entrance of leading beverage monoliths into the functional beverage category has tightened pricing but also created a vibrant mergers and acquisitions environment for emerging brands like KonaRed. Recent industry deals have included:

●

Coca Cola acquired a majority stake in Zico in June 2012;

●

Pepsi acquired a majority stake in O.N.E. Coconut Water in April 2012;

●

InBev (Anheuser Busch) has made a series of investments in Sambazon (in August 2012, December 2011, and December 2008); and

●

InBev (Anheuser Busch) has also made a series of investments in Vita Coco in May 2012 and December 2010.

Advertising

With a guerilla marketing and word of mouth backdrop, KonaRed has also used radio advertising, events (promotions and contests) and Surf News Network in the Hawaiian market. Social media has also been another low cost advertising tool used by our Company. While confining its efforts primarily to non-mainstream advertising options, our Company did effectively utilize a high profile billboard campaign on major southern California freeways in Spring 2012. In addition to placement on 11 billboards, KonaRed was also prominently displayed on 75 high-traffic bus stop shelters, a tactic that resulted in traceable sales results in the region. Management plans to selectively implement this approach in the future as well.

Organic Promotion

Through its continuing presence in the Hawaiian community, participating in and promoting ocean and extreme-athlete related contests, races and charity events, our Company has weaved the brand into the collective consciousness of this trend-setting culture.

Advancing our Company’s media depth and brand cache, our Company also sponsors an “Ambassador Team,” a group of Hawaiian super-athletes who have embraced the product and participate in promotional events, sign autographs at store openings, and are generally available to spread the goodwill of the brand.

Fertile Cross Marketing

Our Ingredients Division enjoys co-branding opportunities which serve to perpetuate branding exposure and inherent marketing velocity. Our Company’s standard procedure is to require the execution of trademark licensing agreements with ingredients customers to ensure that all labels and branding material are approved by our Company (e.g. use of the “Made with KonaRed” moniker).

Our Ingredients Division customers have dedicated material space on their respective websites to promote their associations with KonaRed, which further augments the viral marketing flavor of the brand. Notably, our website (Konared.com) is a well-conceived marketing tool anchoring our Company’s web presence.

Targeted Growth Areas

While still early in its life cycle, international distribution opportunities have been presented to our Company. The food service and hospitality channel also appears ideally suited for our Company and management has begun to focus on establishing a pathway into the restaurant and hotel arena.

Competition

The beverage industry is extremely competitive. The principal areas of competition include pricing, packaging, development of new products and flavors, and marketing campaigns. Our product is competing directly with a wide range of drinks produced by a relatively large number of manufacturers. Most of these brands have enjoyed broad, well-established national recognition for years, through well-funded ad and other marketing campaigns. In addition, companies manufacturing these products generally have far greater financial, marketing, and distribution resources than we do.

Important factors that will affect our ability to compete successfully include taste and flavor of our product, trade and consumer promotions, the development of new, unique and cutting edge products, attractive and unique packaging, branded product advertising, pricing, and the success of our distribution network.

We will also be competing to secure distributors who will agree to market our product over those of our competitors, provide stable and reliable distribution, and secure adequate shelf space in retail outlets.

Our product will compete generally with all liquid refreshments, including numerous specialty beverages, such as: SoBe; Snapple; Arizona; Vitamin Water; Gatorade; and Powerade. We will compete directly with other consumer products participants in the nascent coffee fruit sector including Bai and SoZo Coffeeberry. As we are still a relatively new business and we have modest revenues, we believe that we are a small company in the general liquid refreshments market and health liquid refreshment market.

Intellectual Property

KonaRed® is a registered trademark in the United States and in Japan and we intend to seek a number of trademarks for slogans and product designs. We also hold trademark rights to the “Paradise in a Bottle®” tag line. We believe we have the rights to use the necessary processing and manufacturing intellectual property relating to processing and manufacturing our base ingredient (the coffee fruit) and our proprietary beverage formulas. However, we do not own the manufacturing process for making the finished beverages. We intend to aggressively assert our rights under trade secret, unfair competition, trademark and copyright laws to protect our intellectual property, including product design, product research and concepts and recognized trademarks. These rights are protected through the acquisition of patents and trademark registrations, the maintenance of trade secrets, the development of trade dress, and, where appropriate, litigation against those who are, in our opinion, infringing these rights.

While there can be no assurance that registered trademarks will protect our proprietary information, we intend to assert our intellectual property rights against any infringer. Although any assertion of our rights could result in a substantial cost to, and diversion of effort by, our Company, management believes that the protection of our intellectual property rights will be a key component of our operating strategy.

Partnership Initiative with VDF FutureCeuticals Inc.

To the mutual satisfaction of the parties, on January 28, 2014 KonaRed settled a patent dispute which had been pending since 2011 with VDF FutureCeuticals Inc. ('VDF') by forming a partnership with VDF.

VDF is a major biotech and ingredient supplier and owner of the patent-protected CoffeeBerry® coffee fruit technology, a proprietary set of agricultural and industrial processes and a line of unique ingredients. VDF's patents and processes capture the same potent nutrition inherent in coffee fruit which had formed the basis of two provisional patent applications made by KonaRed based on the proprietary research and development which had been fully developed by KonaRed.

The partnership brings together the flavor profile of KonaRed’s beverages and the ingenuity, innovation, and ongoing chemistry and clinical research of VDF’s globally integrated CoffeeBerry® coffee fruit ingredient platform.

Commenting on formation of the partnership, Mr. Shaun Roberts, CEO of KonaRed and Mr. John Hunter, Executive Vice President of VDF provided the following:

“Finding ways to work together, bridge differences, and create something stronger than the sum of its parts is what the spirit of Aloha is all about, and this dispute with FutureCeuticals is a perfect example,” said KonaRed CEO Shaun Roberts. “This new relationship was forged within the crucible of the lawsuit. During productive discussions with FutureCeuticals, it became apparent that there were obvious synergies available to KonaRed if we worked together. The CoffeeBerry® coffee fruit IP opens up limitless opportunities for us, and I have no doubt that we’re now a far stronger company than we were before.”

“KonaRed has built a very strong brand concept and shows real promise in the marketplace,” said FutureCeuticals Executive VP John Hunter. “During our negotiations, Shaun and Dana Roberts impressed us [and] it became immediately apparent that they are genuine people and terrific marketers. KonaRed is a natural match for our IP and for the extensive science and manufacturing expertise that underlies our CoffeeBerry® coffee fruit ingredient-line. FutureCeuticals welcomes KonaRed into our license fold, and we see a new, even stronger KonaRed emerging from this lawsuit with our partnership.”

VDF (www.futureceuticals.com ) is a leader in the bio-research, development, and manufacture of high-quality fruit, vegetable, and grain-based nutraceutical and functional food ingredients. VDF is committed to discovery-based research that leads to the expansion of human health, and is the trusted partner-of-choice for companies in search of creative, ethical solutions for the health and wellness needs of today’s consumer. Its sister company, Van Drunen Farms, was founded over one hundred years ago, and has grown into one of the largest dried food ingredient manufacturers and suppliers in the world.

KonaRed and VDF signed a number of agreements, which are described in Note 11 of the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and are attached to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed to the SEC's EDGAR site ( www.sec.gov ) by KonaRed on February 3, 2014. To summarize, VDF can earn an equity interest in KonaRed and will earn licensing fees from KonaRed sales, among other matters agreed upon.

Seasonality of Business

The sales of our products are influenced to some extent by weather conditions in the markets in which we operate. Unusually cold or rainy weather during the summer months may have a temporary effect on the demand for our product and contribute to lower sales, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations for such periods.

Research and Development Costs During the Last Two Years

KonaRed has maintained a modest R&D effort over fiscal years 2013 and 2012, having spent approximately $18,710 and 34,850, respectively.

R&D has been focused on quinic acid, an antioxidant that is in greater abundance in the KonaRed beverage than any other molecule. With a molar mass of 192.17 g/mol, quinic acid is small by comparison to other organic chemicals known as polyphenols. Much of our research has been directed towards attempts to confirm whether there is a correlation between small molecular mass and high bioavailability (the body’s ability to readily absorb a substance introduced). In addition, our research has been focused on whether antioxidants with a high oxygen radical absorbance capacity, a method of measuring antioxidant capacities in biological samples, and a high bioavailability may provide a way to increase one’s cellular metabolic efficiency (“CME”). We believe that it is possible that increased CME may result in increased energy, reduction of metabolic oxygen related stress at the cellular level and reduction of inflammation. We intend to continue our research to the extent of our limited funds and to examine whether the consumption of KonaRed products, if established as substances that increase CME, might provide positive effects on human health by decelerating the death of cells without negative side effects. Such research is in a very preliminary stage, there is no proof that KonaRed can produce health benefits for humans, and we do not have the funds required to conduct an extensive research program on the matter.

In 2012, a series of tests were conducted at Cayetano University in Lima, Peru by a team of research physicians to determine the antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties of KonaRed in a clinical environment. The Cayetano University studies were commissioned by KonaRed. They were in-vitro (test tube) based studies and not human trials. The KonaRed extract was found to improve cell viability, increase T cell proliferation and improve antiviral defense. The foregoing conclusions were based on the results of antiviral activity and cell proliferate effect of KonaRed on mice.

In these limited tests, KonaRed’s coffee fruit demonstrated an antiviral effect, improving cell viability, increasing T cell proliferation and improving antiviral defense. The body’s first line of defense against viruses is the immune system. This comprises cells and other mechanisms that defend the host from infection in a non-specific manner. Because viruses use vital metabolic pathways within host cells to replicate, they are difficult to eliminate without using drugs that cause toxic effects to host cells in general. The foregoing limited studies suggested that KonaRed beverage’s coffee fruit could have antiviral effects upon consumption by humans.

As in any research and development program, further investigation and study is required. Whether KonaRed's beverage ultimately proves to be a useful CME supplement, and does so without negative effectives, and whether the promotion of CME proves to have therapeutic effects on humans, is unknown. To the extent our Company has funds available for research and development, management intends to pursue this line of research and investigation on a limited basis.

Government Regulation

Our products are considered to be synonymous with coffee for regulatory purposes and are thus sold under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) “Generally Regarded as Safe” (“GRAS”) regulatory umbrella. Accordingly, we are not required to petition for FDA approval of our coffee fruit offerings, which would be typical under standard dietary supplement guidelines. However, our Company has registered all of its supply chain subcontractors with the FDA as required and has met and answered all inquiries by the FDA. We believe we are in full compliance with all FDA regulations.

The advertising, distribution, labeling, production, safety, sale, and transportation in the United States of our product are subject to: the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ; the Federal Trade Commission Act ; the Lanham Act ; state consumer protection laws; competition laws; federal, state and local workplace health and safety laws; various federal, state and local environmental protection laws; and various other federal, state and local statutes and regulations. It will be our policy to comply with any and all legal requirements.

Employees

In addition to Shaun Roberts, who is our president, chief executive officer and a director and Dana Roberts, who is our chief financing officer, treasurer, secretary and director, we currently employ 8 full time and 1 part employees whom all work in the United States. Our operations are overseen directly by management that engages our employees to carry on our business. Our management oversees all responsibilities in the areas of corporate administration, business development, and research; and as needed we engage the services of other professionals for legal, accounting and other technical services. We intend to expand our current management to retain other skilled directors, officers, and employees with experience relevant to our business focus. Our management’s relationships will provide the foundation through which we expect to grow our business in the future. We believe that the skill-set of our management team will be a primary asset in the development of our brands and trademarks.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACT OR S

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the following factors, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods. The risks described below are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods.

Risks Related to Our Business

Because we have a limited operating history, our ability to fully and successfully develop our business is unknown.

Sandwich Isles, which operated the Business prior to closing of the Asset Agreement, was incorporated in 2008, and our Company was incorporated in October of 2010, and we have only recently begun producing and distributing our products, and do not have a significant operating history with which investors can evaluate our business. Our ability to successfully develop our products, and to realize consistent, meaningful revenues and profit has not been established and cannot be assured. The Business has realized modest revenues with respect to the Business and its net loss since inception is $11,678,393. For us to achieve success, our products must receive broader market acceptance by consumers. Without this market acceptance, we will not be able to generate sufficient revenue to continue our business operation. If our products are not widely accepted by the market, our business may fail.

Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues, manage development costs and expenses, and compete successfully with our direct and indirect competitors

Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the development, production, marketing, and sales of our product. As a result, we may not generate significant revenues in the future. Failure to generate significant revenues in near future may cause us to suspend or cease activities.

These circumstances have lead our independent registered public accounting firm to comment about our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in their audit opinion, which is filed within this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Management's primary funding strategy is to raise additional capital through a public offering of its capital stock. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and potential classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event our Company cannot continue in existence.

We rely on our President & CEO for management of our operations and the loss of this key individual could have an adverse effect on the Company.

Our success depends to a certain degree upon our President & CEO. This individual is a significant factor in the our growth and success. The loss of the service of current management and board and any future additional members of management and the board could have a material adverse effect on our Company. Additionally, we do not anticipate having key man insurance in place in respect of President & CEO, and other senior officers and/or directors in the foreseeable future.

We will have to spend additional funds to produce, market and distribute our product. If we cannot raise sufficient capital, we may have to cease operations and you could lose your investment.

We will need additional funds to produce line extensions and expand our retail footprint. Even after we complete the proposed expansion of our product offerings, we will need to spend substantial funds on distribution, marketing and sales efforts, which is indicative of a consumer products company. For example, it is often customary when implementing a large retail chain to provide supporting marketing in the form of advertising and samples. Specifically, we anticipate that we will require approximately $1.1 million in 2014, $1.3 million in 2015 and $1.5 million in 2016 in order to achieve our revenue goals.

There is no guarantee that sufficient sale levels will be achieved.

There is no guarantee that the expenditure of money on distribution and marketing efforts will translate into sales or sufficient sales to cover our expenses and result in profits. Consequently, there is a risk that you may lose all of your investment.

Our development, marketing, and sales activities are limited by our size.

Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our product development, marketing, and sales activities. As such we may not be able to complete our production and business development program that is as thorough as we would like. If this becomes a reality, we may not ever generate revenues and you will lose your investment.

Changes in the nonalcoholic beverage business environment and retail landscape could adversely impact our financial results.

The nonalcoholic beverage business environment is rapidly evolving as a result of, among other things, changes in consumer preferences, including changes based on health and nutrition considerations and obesity concerns; shifting consumer tastes and needs; changes in consumer lifestyles; and competitive product and pricing pressures. In addition, the nonalcoholic beverage retail landscape is very dynamic and constantly evolving, not only in emerging and developing markets, where modern trade is growing at a faster pace than traditional trade outlets, but also in developed markets, where discounters and value stores, as well as the volume of transactions through e-commerce, are growing at a rapid pace. If we are unable to successfully adapt to the rapidly changing environment and retail landscape, our share of sales, volume growth and overall financial results could be negatively affected.

Intense competition and increasing competition in the commercial beverage market could hurt our business.

The commercial retail beverage industry, and in particular its nonalcoholic beverage segment is highly competitive. Market participants are of various sizes, with various market shares and geographical reach, some of whom have access to substantially more sources of capital.

We will compete generally with all liquid refreshments, including numerous specialty beverages, such as: SoBe; Snapple; Arizona; Vitamin Water; Gatorade; and Powerade.

Table of Contents

We will compete indirectly with major international beverage companies including but not limited to: the Coca-Cola Company; PepsiCo, Inc.; Nestlé; Dr. Pepper Snapple Group; Groupe Danone; Kraft Foods Group, Inc.; and Unilever. These companies have established market presence in the United States, and offer a variety of beverages that are substitutes to our product. We face potential direct competition from such companies, because they have the financial resources, and access to manufacturing and distribution channels to rapidly enter the health food and beverage market.

We will compete directly with other consumer products participants in the nascent coffee fruit sector including Bai and SoZo Coffeeberry. These companies could bolster their position in the nascent coffee fruit sector through additional expenditure and promotion.

As a result of both direct and indirect competition, our ability to successfully distribute, market and sell our product, and to gain sufficient market share in the United States to realize profits may be limited, greatly diminished, or totally diminished, which may lead to partial or total loss of your investments in our Company.

Expansion of the nascent coffee fruit sector or sufficiency of consumer demand in that market for operations to be profitable are not guaranteed.

The nascent coffee fruit sector is an emerging market and there is no guarantee that this market will expand or that consumer demand will be sufficiently high to allow our Company to successfully market, distribute and sell our product, or to successfully compete with current or future competition, all of which may result in total loss of your investment.

Our growth and profitability depends on the performance of third-parties and our relationship with them.

Our distribution network and its success depend on the performance of various third parties but no specific third party in particular. Any non-performance or deficient performance by such parties may undermine our operations, profitability, and result in total loss to your investment. To distribute our product, we either ship directly to distributors and retailers or use a broker-distributor-retailer network whereby brokers represent our products to distributors and retailers who will in turn sell our product to consumers. The success of this network will depend on the performance of various brokers, distributors and retailers of this network. There is a risk that a broker, distributor, or retailer may refuse to or cease to market or carry our product. There is a risk that the mentioned entities may not adequately perform their functions within the network by, without limitation, failing to distribute to sufficient retailers or positioning our product in localities that may not be receptive to our product. Furthermore, such third-parties’ financial position or market share may deteriorate, which could adversely affect our distribution, marketing and sale activities. We also need to maintain good commercial relationships with third-party brokers, distributors and retails so that they will promote and carry our product. Any adverse consequences resulting from the performance of third-parties or our relationship with them could undermine our operations, profitability and may result in total loss of your investment.

Health benefits of the coffee fruit are not proven.

Although several studies have suggested there may be health benefits related to the consumption of the coffee fruit, the research is in its infancy stages and health benefits have not been proven. Future research may fail to support such benefits or may indicate that any such benefits are outweighed by negative side effects. The foregoing would likely result in a loss of market share or potential market share and would have an adverse effect on our Company and its business and, furthermore, the value of an investment in our Company could be reduced or lost entirely.

Water scarcity and poor quality could negatively impact our production costs and capacity.

Water is the main ingredient in our product. It is also a limited resource, facing unprecedented challenges from overexploitation, increasing pollution, poor management, and climate change. As demand for water continues to increase, as water becomes scarcer, and as the quality of available water deteriorates, we may incur increasing production costs or face capacity constraints that could adversely affect our profitability or net operating revenues in the long run.

Increase in the cost, disruption of supply or shortage of ingredients, other raw materials or packaging materials could harm our business.

We and our bottling partners will use water, the coffee fruit, packaging materials for bottles such as plastic, aluminum and paper products. The prices for these ingredients, other raw materials and packaging materials fluctuate depending on market conditions. Substantial increases in the prices of our or our bottling partners’ ingredients, other raw materials and packaging materials, to the extent they cannot be recouped through increases in the prices of finished beverage products, would increase our operating costs and could reduce our profitability. Increases in the prices of our finished products resulting from a higher cost of ingredients, other raw materials and packaging materials could affect the affordability of our product and reduce sales.

An increase in the cost, a sustained interruption in the supply, or a shortage of some of these ingredients, other raw materials, or packaging materials and containers that may be caused by a deterioration of our or our bottling partners’ relationships with suppliers; by containers that may be caused by a deterioration of our or our bottling partners’ relationships with suppliers; by supplier quality and reliability issues; or by events such as natural disasters, power outages, labor strikes, political uncertainties or governmental instability, or the like, could negatively impact our net revenues and profits.

Changes in laws and regulations relating to beverage containers and packaging could increase our costs and reduce demand for our products.

We and our bottlers intend to offer non-refillable, recyclable containers in the United States. Legal requirements have been enacted in various jurisdictions in the United States requiring that deposits or certain eco taxes or fees be charged for the sale, marketing and use of certain non-refillable beverage containers. Other proposals relating to beverage container deposits, recycling, eco tax and/or product stewardship have been introduced in various jurisdictions in the United States and overseas, and we anticipate that similar legislation or regulations may be proposed in the future at local, state and federal levels in the United States. Consumers’ increased concerns and changing attitudes about solid waste streams and environmental

Table of Contents

responsibility and the related publicity could result in the adoption of such legislation or regulations. If these types of requirements are adopted and implemented on a large scale in the geographical regions in which we operate or intent to, they could affect our costs or require changes in our distribution model, which could reduce our net operating revenues or profitability.

Significant additional labeling or warning requirements or limitations on the availability of our product may inhibit sales of affected products.

Various jurisdictions may seek to adopt significant additional product labeling or warning requirements or limitations on the availability of our product relating to the content or perceived adverse health consequences of our product. If these types of requirements become applicable to our product under current or future environmental or health laws or regulations, they may inhibit sales of our product.

Unfavorable general economic conditions in the United States could negatively impact our financial performance.

Unfavorable general economic conditions, such as a recession or economic slowdown, in the United States could negatively affect the affordability of, and consumer demand for, our product in the United States. Under difficult economic conditions, consumers may seek to reduce discretionary spending by forgoing purchases of our products or by shifting away from our beverages to lower-priced products offered by other companies. Lower consumer demand for our product in the United States could reduce our profitability.

Adverse weather conditions could reduce the demand for our products.

Changes in, or failure to comply with, the laws and regulations applicable to our products or our business operations could increase our costs or reduce our net operating revenues.

The advertising, distribution, labeling, production, safety, sale, and transportation in the United States of our Company’s product will be subject to: the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ; the Federal Trade Commission Act ; the Lanham Act ; state consumer protection laws; competition laws; federal, state, and local workplace health and safety laws, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Act ; various federal, state and local environmental protection laws; and various other federal, state, and local statutes and regulations. Legal requirements also apply in many jurisdictions in the United States requiring that deposits or certain eco taxes or fees be charged for the sale, marketing, and use of certain non-refillable beverage containers. The precise requirements imposed by these measures vary. Other types of statutes and regulations relating to beverage container deposits, recycling, eco taxes and/or product stewardship also apply in various jurisdictions in the United States. We anticipate that additional, similar legal requirements may be proposed or enacted in the future at the local, state and federal levels in the United States. Changes to such laws and regulations could increase our costs or reduce or net operating revenues.

Risk Related to Our Stock

Because Sandwich Isles controls a large percentage of our common stock, Sandwich Isles has the ability to influence matters affecting our stockholders.

In connection with the closing of the Asset Agreement with Sandwich Isles, we experienced a change of control, as our existing director resigned, new directors who were nominees of Sandwich Isles were appointed to our board and Sandwich Isles was issued shares that constituted 59.97% of our issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Shaun and Dana Roberts collectively own 22.39% and Steven M. and Hamiel Schorr collectively own 22.22% of the issued and outstanding shares of Sandwich Isles common stock and Shaun Roberts and Steven Schorr remain directors of Sandwich Isles. As a result, Shaun Roberts and Steven M. Schorr, as directors of Sandwich Isles, indirectly exercise voting and dispositive power with respect to 59.07% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, they have the ability to influence matters affecting our stockholders, including the election of our directors, the acquisition or disposition of our assets, and the future issuance of our shares of common stock. Because they control such shares, investors may find it difficult to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being operated. Because their interest could result in management making decisions that are in the best interest of Sandwich Isles and not in the best interest of the investors, you may lose some or all of the value of your investment in our common stock.

Because we can issue additional shares of common stock, our stockholders may experience dilution in the future.

We expect to experience significant negative cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future and expect to require working capital to fund our operations. We cannot be certain that additional financing will be available on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, or are unable to repay the debt, then we may cease operations, become insolvent, declare bankruptcy or be otherwise wound up, all of which may result in the loss of all or substantially all of the investment capital of the shareholders. We are authorized to issue up to 877,500,000 common shares and 10,000 preferred shares and as of December 31, 2013 had 72,366,667 common shares and no preferred shares outstanding. We have the authority to issue more shares, and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, without the consent of any of our shareholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity - related or debt securities, the securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of our common stock and those shareholders may experience dilution in the net tangible book value per share of their investment in our common shares.

Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). Trading in stock quoted on the OTCBB and other over the counter trading systems (such as the OTCQB, or Pink Sheets) is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTCBB and other over the counter trading systems do not benefit from the same type of Market-Maker trading systems utilized by stock exchanges such as the NYSE and AMEX and quotation systems such as the NASDAQ in which trading of a security is enhanced by to the presence of Market-Maker(s) who are dedicated to the trading of a particular listed company’s shares. Rather, on the OTCBB and other over the counter markets, there is no assurance that a bid/ask will be posted to facilitate

Table of Contents

trading of an over the counter listed issue at any particular point in time. As a result, trading of securities on the OTCBB and other over the counter systems is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on the NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ or similar large stock exchanges or stock markets. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty selling their shares at any particular point in time.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital, it may adversely impact our ability to continue operations and we may go out of business.

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because we may attempt to acquire a significant portion of the funds we need in order to conduct our planned operations through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be detrimental to our liquidity and our operations because the decline may cause investors not to choose to invest in our stock. If we are unable to raise the funds we require for all our planned operations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may suffer, and not be successful and we may go out of business. We also might not be able to meet our financial obligations if we cannot raise enough funds through the sale of our common stock and we may be forced to go out of business.

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the near future, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market

Table of Contents

value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties

We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR CO MM ON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Our common stock is quoted on the Over - The - Counter Bulletin Board stock market ("OTCBB") under the symbol: 'KRED'. Because we are quoted on the OTCBB, our securities may be less liquid, receive less coverage by security analysts and news media, and generate lower prices than might otherwise be obtained if they were listed on a major national securities exchange. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTCBB is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated or have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market for our common stock in the future.

As of March 18, 2013, our issued and outstanding shares and equity instruments were as follows:

(i) 75,576,057 shares of our common stock;

(vi) 2,000,000 stock options granted on December 12, 2013, which are part of our Stock Options Plan, which are each exercisable into one share of the common stock of our Company at a price of $0.45 per share, which will vest in full if the common stock of our Company is trading above a price point of $1.00 per share after October 4, 2014, and which have an expiry date of December 12, 2018;

(vii) 1,000,000 stock options granted on December 12, 2013, which are part of our Stock Options Plan, which are each exercisable into one share of the common stock of our Company at a price of $0.74 per share and which have an expiry date of December 12, 2018, all of which vested on grant date; and

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On October 4, 2013 we issued an aggregate of 42,750,000 shares of our common stock to Sandwich Isles in connection with the closing of the Asset Agreement. Because these shares were issued as part of a reverse takeover of a Shell Company, these shares are classified as restricted shares until October 4, 2014.

Table of Contents

at $0.65 per share for a period of five years. On issuance date, the Company valued the warrants at $1,861,803. The fair value of the 2,888,888 warrants issued was calculated on the date of grant using a

Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) a risk-free interest rate of 1.40% based on the US 5 year Treasury bond yield on issuance date;; (ii) a dividend yield of zero: (iii) a volatility factor of 429.1% based on the 5 year annualized daily closing price stock volatility of a group of comparable peer companies with 5 year trading histories; (iv) an exercise price of $0.65; and (v) an expected life of 1.5 years(which is the time during which the Company estimates the warrants will be exercised). The fair value method requires the cost of warrants to be expensed over the period in which they vest, which in the case of the warrants issued to this consultant was immediately as of grant date. The expense of the warrants issuance, based on the Black-Scholes valuations has been credited to Additional Paid-In Capital on the Balance Sheet.

In connection with the closing of the Asset Agreement, effective October 4, 2013 we completed a non-brokered private placement with a third party for sale of 1,777,778 shares of our common stock at a price $0.45 per share for gross proceeds of $800,000. And, as reported in Note 6, also effective October 4, 2013 we issued 1,111,111 shares of our common stock to the same party at a price of $0.45 per share upon conversion of the Secured Note. These shares were issued to one non-U.S. person (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the 1933 Act) in offshore transactions relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act.

On October 17, 2013 we completed a non-brokered private placement with a third party for sale of 77,778 units at a price $0.45 per unit for gross proceeds of $35,000. Each unit was comprised of one share of the common stock of our Company and one five year share purchase warrant exercisable into one share of the common stock of our Company at a price of $0.65 per share.

On November 21, 2013 we completed a non-brokered private placement with a third party for sale of 1,000,0000 units at a price $0.45 per unit for gross proceeds of $450,000. Each unit was comprised of one share of the common stock of our Company and one five year share purchase warrant exercisable into one share of the common stock of our Company at a price of $0.65 per share.

As reported in a current report on Form 8-K filed February 5, 2013, on February 3, 2014, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), an Illinois limited liability company, pursuant to which we have the right to sell to LPC up to $12,000,000 in shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

On February 3, 2013, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with LPC (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we are required to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering the sale of the shares of our common stock issued and issuable to LPC pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including the Registration Statement being declared effective by the SEC, we have the right over a 30-month period to sell up to $12.0 million worth of shares of our common stock to LPC, upon the terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement. We may direct LPC, at our sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, to purchase up to $100,000 worth of shares of our common stock on any single business day so long as at least one business day has passed since the most recent purchase, increasing up to a maximum of $500,000 per purchase, depending on the closing sale price of our common stock. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price of such common stock sold to LPC is based on the prevailing market price of our common stock preceding the time of any such sale with our company knowing the exact price prior to making sales, if any, to LPC and

Table of Contents

controlling the timing and amount of sales, if any, of common stock to LPC. There are no upper limits to the price LPC may pay to purchase our common stock. No sales of common stock to LPC may occur below a floor price as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In addition, we may direct LPC to purchase additional amounts as accelerated purchases if on the date of a regular purchase the closing sale price of our common stock is not below the threshold price as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Our sales of shares of common stock to LPC under the Purchase Agreement are limited to no more than the number of shares that would result in the beneficial ownership by LPC and its affiliates, at any single point in time, of more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions and indemnification and termination provisions by, among and for the benefit of the parties. LPC has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of our shares of common stock. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, we issued to LPC 872,727 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee (the “Commitment Shares”) and may issue up to 218,182 additional shares per the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Commitment Shares have been issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and will be registered for sale on the Registration Statement. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any monetary cost to us. Actual sales of shares of common stock to LPC under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by our company from time to time, including (among others) market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and determinations by us as to available and appropriate sources of funding for our company and its operations.

On January 27, 2014, we issued 1,818,182 units to two investors in a non-brokered private placement, at a purchase price of $0.55 per unit for gross proceeds of $1,000,000. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional share of our common stock at a price of $0.65 per share for a period of six years. We issued: (i) 681,818 of these units to one non-US person (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in an offshore transaction in which we relied on the exemptions from the registration requirements provided for in Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and (ii) 1,136,364 of these units to one US person, who is an accredited investor (as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), and in issuing these units to this person we relied on the exemptions from the registration requirements provided for in Rule 506 Regulation D and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements with each investor, we also agreed to file a registration statement related to the transaction with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission covering the shares underlying the units (excluding shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants).

Overview

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 4, 2010. Our business model was to develop and commercialize our website, www.teamupsport.com, which was to be a website designed to integrate into a single online offering, people’s interest in sport with the new capabilities of online social networking. However, as we had not successfully developed business model at the time prior to the entry into the asset purchase agreement with Sandwich Isles, and had no source of revenue from our business plan, we determined to seek out a new business opportunity to increase value for our stockholders.

On October 4, 2013, we completed the acquisition of the Business pursuant to the asset purchase agreement with Sandwich Isles. As a result of the acquisition, we have determined to pursue the business of the health beverage and food business. Because we are the successor business to Sandwich Isles and because the operations and assets of Sandwich Isles represent our entire business and operations from the closing date of the asset purchase agreement, our management’s discussion and analysis is based on Sandwich Isles’ financial statements. Inception under this section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” refers to the inception of the Business of Sandwich Isles as a result of our acquisition of the Business of Sandwich Isles. The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the mentioned financial statements and the notes to those financial statements included in this report on Form 8-K.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this report, particularly in the section entitled “Risk Factors”.

Plan of Operations

History

Since the incorporation in August 22, 2008 of Sandwich Isles Trading Co., Inc. dba KonaRed, the predecessor of KonaRed Corporation, we have made much progress in sourcing supply, product development, market positioning, strategic alliances, and diversity of product offerings. Most important of all, after heavy investments over the past two years, we are now poised for growth.

Capitalizing on an explosive convergence between the prevailing coffee culture phenomenon and an exotic superfruit breakthrough, it is management’s belief that KonaRed has amassed an loyal market following in a relatively short time frame. After its first major retail win in May 2011 at Whole Foods Market followed by premier Hawaiian supermarket chain Foodland, the company has experienced rapid adoption in food, mass, drug, military, convenience and specialty channels.

Product Development

In addition to its flagship KonaRed functional beverages, the company also operates a branded ingredient division; thus leveraging valuable coffee fruit supply relationships and expanding the company’s ultimate scope in the marketplace. With this multi-pronged strategy, the sale of fruit powders and extracts to parallel markets allows the company to piggyback on the resources of established players with widespread footprints in other health-oriented consumer product venues.

Growth

Utilizing its “Paradise in a Bottle”® tag line, KonaRed is marketed as a premium functional wellness beverage in the nascent coffee fruit space. Currently positioned in the sought-after produce juice cooler section, KonaRed has developed a passionate following as a lifestyle product embraced by the Hawaiian “waterman” community. We plan to introduce an aluminum can-based beverage (both sparkling and flat versions) to market as early as the 2nd quarter of the 2014 calendar year. We have designed the cans with new artwork and have run our first round of samples with Rexam PLC, a global consumer packaging company. We have received strong acceptance from KonaRed’s leading customers and expect that the new can-based beverages will expand placement into the grocery aisle.

Exclusive long-term supply contracts with universally respected Hawaiian coffee growers and international sources of back-up supply have allowed the company to lock-up strategically important and ample coffee fruit resources to support its growth. For example, KonaRed has entered into an exclusive coffee fruit supply arrangement with JavaPlant Ltd, a major vertically integrated coffee producer based in Jakarta Indonesia. In summary, the company’s aforementioned exclusive supply relationships have immense value as the coffee fruit category gains additional stature as an elite superfruit.

Market Development and Metrics

Our long-term objective is to develop KonaRed into a nutritional company which supplies consumers with a variety of high quality food and beverage products. We plan to achieve this based on a strategy of expanding our retail footprint through a series of revenue generating distribution channels. Presently, our predominant focus is our beverage business and we are generating revenues through the following five distribution channels:

Table of Contents

●

Direct Store Distributors: The direct store distributors (“DSDs”) channel comprises wholesale distributors who maintain in-house inventories of multiple brands of beverage products, such as juices, beer, and water, which they sell to retail stores and other wholesalers. Examples of our DSD customers presently include: Paradise Beverages in Hawaii, and John Lenore in San Diego.

●

Broadline Distributors: The broadline distributors channel includes wholesalers who specialize in distribution of natural food products to retail stores. Examples of our broadline distributor customers presently include: United Natural Foods Inc. (“UNFI”), DPI Specialty Foods (“DPI”), and Nature’s Best.

●

Direct to Retail: During our growth phase we have developed a direct to retail sales channel to grocery stores such as Albertson’s and specialty retail stores such as Jamba Juice. We intend to continue to service and develop this channel further.

●

Direct to Consumer: The KonaRed brand has gained an increasing following of Internet based customers who purchase our products directly through our website. We plan to expand this channel though on-line marketing initiatives in parallel with our brand recognition marketing campaigns.

●

Raw Materials Ingredient Sales: We have acquired a number of wholesale level clients who purchase raw materials from us such as fruit powders and extracts. We plan to continue to supply existing clients and expand this revenue channel as opportunities arise.

To monitor and develop this distribution strategy we will continue to evaluate: product line sales, product line specific gross margin, individual products costs and pricing of individual product lines. Growth of our retail distribution footprint will also continue to be evaluated through the growth of our client base in each specific distribution channel.

In summary, our sales expansion priorities comprise: (1) expansion of wholesale distribution; (2) retail chain success; (3) growth of direct to retail sales; (4) growth of direct to consumer sales; and (5) growth of raw materials sales.

Milestones

To fulfill our sales expansion objectives in our five targeted distributions channels, we intend to raise capital by pursuing a diversified range of financing strategies which are expected to include a mixture of conventional and convertible debt and equity instruments. We cannot predict precisely at this time what will be the composition of these financings, but will seek capital arrangements which achieve a balance of minimizing our financing costs and maintaining maximum shareholder value.

We’re now working toward forming collaborations with industry veterans to enable us to achieve the milestones described below in an efficient and timely manner:

If sufficient capital is not raised to support distribution for this business model, no new KonaRed consumer products will be launched and we will continue to service our existing markets without expansion into new DSDs. We anticipate that a lack of new capital will limit our sales growth over the coming year.

Historic and Projected Product Mix

KonaRed uses four main channels of distribution to bring KonaRed consumer products to market.

DSD Distributors: DSD is a business process that manufacturers use to both sell and distribute goods directly to point of sales or point of consumption including additional product and market related services such as merchandising. In order to fulfill growing demand from retailers, DSDs specializing in the beverage channels are expanding their functional beverage categories to include the type of products in which KonaRed specializes. Historically, DSDs have represented 33% of KonaRed’s revenue and we estimate growth to 53% in the next year.

Broadline Distributors: A broadline distributor services a wide variety of accounts with a wide variety of products ranging from food, beverages and supplies in the natural channel selling to retailers like Wholefoods and Sprouts. Historically, broadline distributors have represented 24% of revenue and we a similar percentage in the future.

Direct to Retailers: Direct to retailer includes major retail chains with 500 locations or more where the KonaRed product ships direct to the retailers distribution centers and the retailers are responsible for the distribution to each retail store. Historically, direct to retailer distribution represents 33% of our revenue and we estimate a reduction to 15% as DSDs specializing in the beverage channels expand their functional beverage categories in lieu of sugary sodas.

Direct to Consumers: Direct to consumer are internet revenues and have historically been just under 2% of revenue and we see this continuing as we move forward.

Our raw material ingredient sales have historically represented 6% of our total revenue and we expect a similar percentage in the future. At the end of fiscal 2014, we intend on strategizing for the production and sale of 2014’s crop and hope to achieve increased revenue for raw materials ingredient sales in 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The financial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Inventories

Inventories are primarily raw materials and finished goods. Inventories are valued at the lower of, cost as determined on an average basis, or market. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices at, or around, balance sheet date or by management’s estimates based on prevailing market conditions. Management writes down the inventories to market value if it is below cost. Management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if valuation allowance is required. Costs of raw material and finish goods inventories include purchase and related costs incurred in bringing the products to their present location and condition.

Table of Contents

Revenue recognition

Sales revenue consists of amounts earned from customers through the sale of its primary products, the KonaRed, premium coffee fruit wellness drink, offered to retail consumers. The company also operates a branded ingredients division that sells fruit powder and extracts to parallel markets to allow the company to piggyback on resources of established players with widespread footprints in other health-oriented consumer venues.

Sales revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, price is fixed or determinable, title to and risk of loss for the product has passed, which is generally when the products are received by the customers, and collectability is reasonably assured. Customers accept good FOB shipping point. Goods are sold on a final sale basis and in the normal course of business the Company does not accept sales returns.

Cost of goods sold

Stock Based Payments

We account for share-based awards to employees in accordance with ASC 718 “Stock Compensation”. Under this guidance, stock compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the estimated service period (generally the vesting period) on the straight-line attribute method. Share-based awards to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Equity”, wherein such awards are expensed over the period in which the related services are rendered.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis covers material changes in the financial condition of our Company during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

A summary is as follows:

	Year ended December 31, 2013			Year ended December 31, 2012
Product sales	$	889,932		$	1,835,035

Product Sales

During the year ended December 31, 2013 we recorded product sales of $889,932 compared with product sales of $1,835,035 for the year ended December 31, 2012, which represent a percentage decrease of 52%. The period over period decrease was primarily because of restructuring of capital for preparation of growth of sales. This restructuring created a temporary lack of capital which inhibited our ability to invest in revenue building activities. Our restructuring objectives were fulfilled through the closing of the Asset Purchase transactions on October 4, 2013, which has provided additional capital to commit to our strategic plan to grow sales.

Cost of Goods Sold

As referenced in our “Item 1 - Description of Business” above, our production is based on an outsourcing business model which utilizes third parties for the bulk of our non-core business operations, such as manufacturing and coffee fruit extraction. The primary component of our cost of goods sold relates to costing the finished goods which are drawn from our inventory when sold. These finished goods primarily include bottles of our coffee beverages in various container and lot sizes which have been manufactured in a staged process for us by third parties and delivered to our warehouse for distribution. Costing is done on applying specific unit sales to unit product costs based on the costs per unit recorded in our inventory system. Costs per unit in the inventory system include per unit manufacturing charges from outsource manufacturers.

During the year ended December 31, 2013 cost of goods sold were $447,569 compared with $1,152,098 for the year ended December 31, 2012, which represents a percentage decrease of 61%. We attribute this decrease to our lower sales during fiscal 2013.

The primary cost of goods sold components for fiscal 2013 versus fiscal 2012 were as follows: (i) manufacturing costs, which includes both in-house and outsourced manufacturing related costs, totaled $437,107 versus $489,982; (ii) packaging totaled $6,320 versus $423,925; (iii) customer shipping which totaled $86,748 versus $134,303; and (iv) inventory delivery which totaled $38,360 versus $127,560. The major change among these items was the decrease in packaging costs which resulted from our investment in new packaging elements during fiscal 2012.

Other Income

During the year ended December 31, 2013 we recorded other income of $64,867 compared with other income of $19,372 for the year ended December 31, 2012, which represent a percentage increase of 235%. Other income is comprised of license fees for the use of our trademark, and shipping and delivery charges income. The period over period increase was primarily due to $49,000 of license fee income being earned during fiscal 2013.

Expenses

Our operating expenses are classified into three categories:

- Research and development

- Advertising and marketing

- General and administrative expenses

Table of Contents

Research and Development

Research and development costs decreased by 46% to $18,710 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared with $34,850 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decreases in research and development costs were primarily attributable to lower usage of laboratory facilities for product analysis.

Advertising and Marketing

Advertising and marketing costs decreased by 81% to $143,061 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared with $757,087 for the year ended December 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily attributable to our lower use of in store product demos and advertising during a period of capital constraints. In particular, we purposely decreased expenditures for in-store product demos from $423,670 for the year ended December 31, 2012 to $6,340 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

General and Administrative

General and administrative costs increased by 64% to $4,242,044 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared with $2,590,838 for the year ended December 31, 2012. $2,852,144, or 67%, of general and administrative costs recorded for fiscal 2013 were due to the non-cash expensing of issuance of warrants to a consultant; and the non-cash expensing of options issued to our officers, directors, and a consultant. Other general and administrative costs categories generally decreased. These decreases were attributable both a decrease in administrative costs due to lower sales activity, and a general review of our costs undertaken by senior management during fiscal 2013. We actively worked to find lower cost service providers and negotiated discounts and lower cost contracts with suppliers wherever possible. The primary ongoing components of general and administrative costs are payroll, consulting & management fees, rent & warehousing, and professional & legal fees. For the comparative years ended December 31, 2013 versus December 31, 2012: (i) payroll, consulting & management fees, excluding the non-cash expenses totaled $814,974 versus $940,585; (ii) rent & warehousing costs totaled $82,138 versus $155,479; and (iii) professional & legal fees totaled $232,155 versus $215,870. The comparative year over year decreases in payroll & management fees, and rent & warehousing costs was related to our decreased level of sales during fiscal 2013 and our cost cutting initiatives.

Interest Expense

We incurred interest expense of $15,693 during the year ended December 31, 2013 versus $214,950 during the year ended December 31, 2012. $190,500 of the interest expense recorded for the period ended December 31, 2012 related to expensing of warrants which were part of a debt issuance completed during that reporting period.

Net Loss

Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $3,912,278 compared to $2,895,416 for the year ended December 31, 2012. These changes were due primarily to our issuances of warrants and options during fiscal 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial position as at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was as follows:

Net Working Capital

	As of December 31, 2013		As of December 31, 2012
Current Assets	$	640,705	$	167,610
Current Liabilities		276,957		844,685
Net Working Capital (Deficit)	$	363,748	$	(677,075	)

As of December 31, 2013 we had cash on hand of $213,156, accounts receivable of $26,422, and net inventories totaling $390,127; compared with cash of $7,383, accounts receivable of $6,735 and inventories totaling $153,492 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2012. Our net working capital deficit increased from a deficit balance of $677,075 at December 31, 2012 to a positive working balance of $363,748 at December 31, 2013. This significant increase in working capital was primarily due to the transactions related to our Asset Purchase on October 4, 2013. We estimate we will need to raise additional funds during the coming twelve months and project we will be able to raise these funds through private placements and public sales of our common shares.

We currently project we will need to raise additional capital as follows in order to meet our business plan targets:

Year	Additional Capital Required

2014	$1.1 million
2015	$1.3 million
2016	$1.5 million
2017	$1.7 million
2018	$1.9 million

Successful Fund Raising

In order to meet our fund raising objectives, on January 27, 2014 the Company closed two private placements of its common shares which raised $1,000,000; and on February 5, 2014, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an Illinois limited liability company, pursuant to which we have the right to sell to them up to $12,000,000 in shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Debt

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we issued a 10% term loan of $225,000 to a third party creditor. The principal of the loan was agreed to be repaid in monthly installments of $75,000 each which began on April 1, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2012 interest of $3,863 accrued on this loan and was added to the principal balance of short term debt at December 31, 2012. During fiscal 2013, a payment of $3,863 was made to the creditor and this fully repaid and terminated the loan.

Table of Contents

On January 12, 2012, our company entered into a working line of credit agreement with the same creditor. In accordance with the working line of credit agreement, we had the right to borrow a maximum of $2,000,000 at an interest rate of 10% per annum. In September 2012, a late payment occurred which triggered an increase in the rate of interest to 18% and interest subsequently accrued at the higher rate. This working line of credit expired on January 12, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we borrowed $275,000 under the working line loan agreement, out of which $225,000 was used to pay off the term loan as referenced above. We received the remaining $50,000 in cash. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we made repayments totaling $161,453 and brought the line of credit balance to $113,547 as of December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2013, interest of $13,477 was paid on the line of credit, as were principal repayments totaling $113,547 which brought its balance to $nil as of December 31, 2013.

In June 2013, we issued a $500,000 secured promissory note to a different creditor, which note was due on December 1, 2013 and accrued interest at 12% per annum. This note was assigned by the original creditor to a different creditor in full and in connection with the closing of the Asset Purchase on October 4, 2013, the final creditor converted the note into 1,111,111 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.45 per share. As part of the conversion agreement, the creditor waived right to any interest payments on the secure promissory note and the outstanding debt of $500,000 was deemed paid in full.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REG IS TERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors

Sandwich Isles Trading Co., Inc

Kalaheo, Hawaii

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sandwich Isles Trading Co., Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

KONARED CORPOR AT ION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – Nature of Organization

KonaRed Corporation (“KonaRed”, "KonaRed Corporation", "us", “we”, the “Registrant”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 4, 2010 as TeamUpSport Inc. Prior to, and in anticipation of, closing of an asset purchase agreement (the "Asset Agreement") with Sandwich Isles Trading Co, Inc. ("Sandwich Isles"), on September 9, 2013 our company effected a name change by merging with our wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary named “KonaRed Corporation” with our company as the surviving corporation under the new name “KonaRed Corporation”. On October 4, 2013 pursuant to the terms the Asset Agreement, we acquired substantially all of the assets, property and undertaking of the health beverage and food business (the "Business") operated under the name “KonaRed” from Sandwich Isles which is engaged in the production and marketing of supplements produced from the fruit of the coffee plant. Sandwich Isles is a private company with facilities in Hawaii and California and was incorporated in Hawaii on August 22, 2008.

As a result of our acquisition of the Business from Sandwich Isles, on October 4, 2013 we ceased to be a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Fiscal Year

These financial statements have been presented by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31st (prior to the Asset Agreement our fiscal year end was May 31 st and upon execution of the Asset Agreement on October 4, 2013, our fiscal year end changed to December 31st.)

In connection with the closing of the Asset Agreement, we experienced a change of control, as our existing director resigned, new directors who were nominees of Sandwich Isles were appointed to our board and Sandwich Isles was issued shares that constituted 59.07% of our issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Additionally, as a result of the acquisition, Sandwich Isles’ current management became our management. As a result, we have determined to treat the acquisition as a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes, with Sandwich Isles as the acquirer for accounting purposes. As such, these financial statements are based on the financial results of Sandwich Isles, rather than that of our company prior to the completion of the transactions described herein.

On September 9, 2013, we effected a 13.5 to one forward stock split of our common stock. The securities of our Company referred to in these financial statements are the securities subsequent to the forward stock split.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to recoverability of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, notes payable and related party debt. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of these financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of the short term nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Bad debts expense or write offs of receivables are determined on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risks in the receivable portfolio and current economic conditions. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company wrote off accounts receivable totaling $14,322 related to two customers. There were no write-offs during the year ended December 31, 2012 and there is no allowances for doubtful accounts recorded for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Inventories

Inventories are composed of raw materials and finished goods. Our inventory process begins when our Company takes possession of dried coffee fruit from coffee growers in Hawaii. We then ship the raw material to our California warehouse for storage and then send required quantities to subcontractors for value-added processing. This value-added processing consists of water based extraction whereby the dried coffee fruit is reduced to liquid extract. For our Company’s beverage production, the coffee fruit raw materials are sent to a 3rd party flavor house which makes the KonaRed concentrate. After we take receipt of the extracts they are shipped to our bottling vendors. The bottling vendors then add our proprietary extract to other ingredients and finish assembly of our finished goods which are primarily comprised of ready-to-drink 16 oz. and 32 oz. size drink products. Once the bottling process is complete, finished goods are shipped back to our Company’s warehouse and subsequently disseminated by us to either distributors or shipped directly to retailers. These supply chain logistics are occasionally altered, as is the case with branded “healthy coffee products” which are produced by large national coffee companies using our proprietary extracts.

KONARED CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Inventories are valued at the lower of, cost as determined on an average basis, or market. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices at, or around, balance sheet date or by management’s estimates based on prevailing market conditions. Management writes down the inventories to market value if it is below cost. Management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if a valuation allowance is required. If a valuation allowance is required, an offsetting entry is made which expenses the reserved inventory to cost of goods sold during the period in which the valuation was required. Subsequently, if this reserved inventory is used in future periods, an offset is entered to cost of goods sold which decreases cost of goods sold during that subsequent period. Costs of raw material and finished goods inventories include purchase and related costs incurred in bringing the products to their present location and condition. Labor, direct and indirect overhead, and the processing, bottling and shipping costs incurred during 3 rd party manufacturing are factored into the costs of our inventories.

Revenue Recognition

Sales revenue consists of amounts earned from customers through the sales of its finished products via wholesale and direct online retail channels. The Company also operates a branded ingredients division that sells raw material fruit powder and extracts to wholesale customers. Sales revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, price is fixed or determinable, title to and risk of loss for the product has passed, which is generally when the products are received by the customers, and collectability is reasonably assured. Customers accept good FOB shipping point. Goods are sold on a final sale basis and in the normal course of business the Company does not accept sales returns. In exceptional circumstances when negotiated, sales returns which are accepted goods are returned to inventory and deducted from sales revenue.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of selling of raw materials and finished goods purchased from vendors as well as warehousing and distribution costs such as inbound freight charges, shipping and handling costs, purchasing and receiving costs. Costs of raw material and finished goods include purchase and related costs for our labor and direct and indirect overhead costs, and the processing, bottling and shipping costs charged by 3 rd party manufacturers.

Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 740 - Income Taxes, the provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

The Company also follows the guidance related to accounting for income tax uncertainties. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in these financial statements is the benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

No liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Stock Based Payments

Research and Development

Costs incurred in developing the ability to create and manufacture products for sale are included in research and development. Once a product is commercially feasible and starts to sell to third party customers, the classification of such costs as development costs stops and such costs are recorded as costs of production, which are included in cost of goods sold. Research and development costs are expensed when incurred.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock warrants and options, using the treasury stock method; and convertible preferred stock and convertible debt using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company currently has options, warrants and convertible debt outstanding, and convertible preferred stock has been issued. Common stock equivalents pertaining to the options, warrants and convertible debt were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share in these financial statements because the effect would have been anti-dilutive due to the net losses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and trade receivables. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times such cash may be in excess of the FDIC limit. With respect to trade receivables, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that the receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

Related parties

A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

Fair Value Measurements

As defined in ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements”, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

Advertising

Costs for advertising are expensed when incurred. Advertising costs totaled $20,373 and $126,810 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company also incurs marketing expenses for product promotion which are included with advertising to form the advertising and marketing item in our statement of operations. Excluding advertising, these other promotional costs totaled $$122,688 and $630,277 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Recently Adopted 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 pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3 – Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses totaling $11,678,393 as of December 31, 2013; and has a incurred a net loss for the current year of $3,912,278. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. If necessary, the Company will pursue additional equity and/or debt financing while managing cash flows from operations in an effort to provide funds to meet its obligations on a timely basis and to support future business development. The financial statements do not contain any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. To address these issues, on January 27, 2014 the Company closed two private placements of its common shares which raised $1,000,000 and, as detailed in Note 12 – Subsequent Events, on February 3, 2014, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an Illinois limited liability company, pursuant to which we have the right to sell to them up to $12,000,000 in shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

NOTE 6 – Notes Payable and Line of Credit

On March 30, 2012, the Company issued a 10% term loan of $225,000 ("Note One") to a third party creditor ("Creditor One"). The terms of Note One required that principal be repaid in monthly installments of $75,000 each, beginning on April 1, 2012. As part of the Note One agreement, the Company issued to Creditor One a warrant to purchase 1,837,000 common shares of the Company. The relative fair value of the warrants was determined to be $190,500 (see Note 8) and was recognized as a debt discount on the debt issuance date. There were no amounts owing on Note One for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, the full amount of the principal of Note One, plus interest of $3,863 had been paid on Note One and there were no further amounts owing on Note One. When Note One was fully paid off, the debt discount was fully amortized for the year ended December 31, 2012 as interest expense with an offset to Additional Paid-in Capital. In a separate transaction, the Company also issued 142,857 shares of common stock at $0.70 per share to Creditor One for cash proceeds totaling $100,000 on January 24, 2012.

On January 12, 2012, the Company entered into a working line of credit agreement (the "LOC") with Creditor One. Per the LOC agreement, the Company had the right to borrow a maximum of $2,000,000 and interest accrued at 10% per annum. In September 2012, a late payment occurred which triggered an increase in the interest rate of the LOC to 18% and interest subsequently accrued at the higher rate. The LOC expired on January 12, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the LOC had been fully paid down and there were no amounts owed by the Company toward the LOC. During the year ended December 31, 2013, interest of $13,477 was paid on the LOC. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company borrowed $275,000 under the LOC, out of which $225,000 was used to pay off Note One as discussed above and the Company received the balance of $50,000 in cash. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company made LOC repayments totaling $161,453 which brought the LOC balance to $117,410 as of December 31, 2012, which included $113,547 of principal plus $3,863 of accrued interest.

On January 12, 2013, the Company completed issuance of a convertible note ("Note Two") to a third party shareholder of the Company ("Creditor Two"). Note Two comprised a loan of $10,000 to the Company which was due by December 18, 2015, accrued interest at 20% per annum, and was convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at $0.70 per share. Full repayment of Note Two was made on November 5, 2013 and comprised $10,000 principal and $1,994 of accrued interest.

On June 12, 2013, the Company issued a $500,000 secured promissory note (the "Secured Note") to a different creditor ("Creditor Three"). The Secured Note was due on December 1, 2013 and accrued interest at 12% per annum if the Company did not execute the Asset Agreement. Under the terms of the Secured Note the Company had granted to Creditor Two an interest in all assets and intellectual property of the Company as collateral. On October 4, 2013, the Secured Note was assigned by Creditor Three to another third party ("Creditor Four"). The Secured Note was then extinguished by Creditor Four on October 4, 2013 through the conversion of the Secured Note into 1,111,111 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.45 per share for proceeds of $500,000. No accrued interest had become due on the Secured Note.

NOTE 8 – Equity (continued)

As consideration for assisting us in structuring the acquisition with Sandwich Isles, on October 4, 2013, we issued to a consultant 2,888,888 five-year warrants to purchase 2,888,888 shares of the Company's common stock, exercisable at $0.65 per share for a period of five years. On issuance date, the Company valued the warrants at $1,861,803 and recorded this non-cash expense. The fair value of the 2,888,888 warrants issued was calculated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) a risk-free interest rate of 1.40% based on the US 5 year Treasury bond yield on issuance date;; (ii) a dividend yield of zero: (iii) a volatility factor of 429.1% based on the 5 year annualized daily closing price stock volatility of a group of comparable peer companies with 5 year trading histories; (iv) an exercise price of $0.65; and (v) an expected life of 1.5 years(which is the time during which the Company estimates the warrants will be exercised). The fair value method requires the cost of warrants to be expensed over the period in which they vest, which in the case of the warrants issued to this consultant was immediately as of grant date. The expense of the warrants issuance, based on the Black-Scholes valuations has been credited to Additional Paid-In Capital on the Balance Sheet.

As reported in Note 5, on March 30, 2012, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 1,837,000 shares of the Company's common stock to Creditor One in regards to Note One. The warrant vested immediately. The exercise price of the warrant is $0.70 per share and the warrant expired on January 12, 2014. On the issuance date, the Company valued the warrants at $190,500 and this was the non-cash cost recorded in fiscal 2012. The fair value of the 1,837,000 warrants issued was calculated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) a risk-free interest rate based on the US 2 year Treasury bond yield of 0.33%; (ii) a dividend yield of zero: (iii) a volatility factor of 300%; (iv) an exercise price of $0.70; and (v) an expected life of the warrants of equal to the term of the warrants (1.8 years) (which is the time during which the Company estimates the warrants will be exercised). The fair value method requires the cost of warrants to be expensed over the period in which they vest, which in the case of the warrants issued to this consultant was immediately as of grant date. The expense of the warrants issuance, based on the Black-Scholes valuations has been credited to Additional Paid-In Capital on the Balance Sheet.

Since the warrant vested immediately, the $190,500 relative fair value of the warrants was recognized as a debt discount on the debt issuance date. When Note One was fully paid off, the debt discount was fully amortized for the year ended December 31, 2012 as interest expense with an offset to Additional Paid-in Capital.

purchase, depending on the closing sale price of our common stock. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price of such common stock sold to the Investor is based on the prevailing market price of our common stock preceding the time of any such sale with our company knowing the exact price prior to making sales, if any, to the Investor and controlling the timing and amount of sales, if any, of common stock to the Investor. There are no upper limits to the price the Investor may pay to purchase our common stock. No sales of common stock to the Investor may occur below a floor price as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In addition, we may direct the Investor to purchase additional amounts as accelerated purchases if on the date of a regular purchase the closing sale price of our common stock is not below the threshold price as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Our sales of shares of common stock to the Investor under the Purchase Agreement are limited to no more than the number of shares that would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its affiliates, at any single point in time, of more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions and indemnification and termination provisions by, among and for the benefit of the parties. the Investor has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of our shares of common stock. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, we issued to the Investor 872,727 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee (the “Commitment Shares”) and may issue up to 218,182 additional shares per the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Commitment Shares have been issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and will be registered for sale on the Registration Statement. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any monetary cost to us. Actual sales of shares of common stock to the Investor under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by our company from time to time, including (among others) market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and determinations by us as to available and appropriate sources of funding for our company and its operations.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND P ROCEDURES

A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) our management conducted an evaluation (under the supervision and with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Shaun Roberts, and our Chief Financial Officer, Dana Roberts) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Roberts each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Roberts, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

B. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. Management’s assessment was based on criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) , issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based upon this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective, based upon those criteria.

C. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during our last fiscal quarter (our fourth fiscal quarter) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Certain Business Relationships

Effective as the closing of the asset purchase agreement on October 4, 2013, Richenda Rowe resigned as a director of our company and from all officer positions of our company. Effective as of the closing of the Asset Agreement on October 4, 2013, Shaun Roberts, Steven M. Schorr, Dana Roberts and Gonzalo Camet, four nominees of Sandwich Isles, were appointed as directors of our company. In addition, Mr. Roberts was appointed as president and chief executive officer of our company, Mr. Schorr was appointed as chief scientific officer of our company and Mrs. Roberts was appointed as chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary of our company.

As a result of the Asset Agreement, Shaun Roberts, and Steven Schorr as the directors of Sandwich Isles presently hold voting control of the 42,750,000 common shares of our Company issued to prior shareholders of Sandwich Isles. Based on the current issued and outstanding total of 75,057,576 of our common shares, this provides Mr. Roberts and Mr. Schorr with control of 57% of the shares of our Company and therefore they have effective control of our Company.

Shaun Roberts – President and Chief Executive Officer

Also in connection with the closing of the asset purchase agreement, on October 4, 2013, we entered into an executive employment agreement with Mr. Roberts as our company’s President and Chief Executive Officer for an annual base salary of $130,000 for a 3 year term. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Roberts also received a bonus upon signing the employment agreement of 1,000,000 three-year options to purchase shares of our common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.45 per share, if the common stock of our Company is trading above a strike price point of $1.00 per share, in whole or in part, after one year from the date of the employment agreement. Mr. Roberts is also eligible to participate in a target bonus and year-end bonus plan whereby Mr. Roberts is eligible to receive a cash bonus or securities bonus based on milestones described in further detail in the employment agreement. Mr. Roberts is also eligible to receive benefits made generally available by our company and shall be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses.

In the event of: (i) an involuntary termination of Mr. Robert’s employment for any reasons other than cause, death or disability; or (ii) Mr. Robert’s resignation for good reason, he shall be entitled to: (A) 1.5 times his annual base salary and target bonus, paid in a single lump sum in cash on the 60th day following the termination date; (B) for a period of up to 18 months following the termination date, Mr. Roberts and where applicable, his

During the term of the employment agreement and for a period of 1 year from the termination of the agreement, Mr. Roberts shall not be employed by a direct competitor in the coffee fruit business, directly or indirectly.

Steven M. Schorr – Chief Scientific Officer

Also in connection with the closing of the asset purchase agreement, on October 4, 2013, we entered into a consulting agreement with Bioponic Phytoceauticals, Inc., a company controlled by Mr. Schorr, whereby we engaged Bioponic to provide services as our company’s Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Operating Officer for an annual base salary of $120,000 for a 3 year term. Pursuant to the consulting agreement, Bioponic also received a bonus upon signing the consulting agreement of 1,000,000 five-year options to purchase shares of our common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.45 per share, if the common stock of our company is trading above a strike price point of $1.00 per share, in whole or in part, after one year from the date of the consulting agreement. Bioponic is also eligible to receive additional annual bonuses if and when authorized by our company’s board of directors and shall be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses. During the term of the consulting agreement and for a period of 1 year from the termination of the agreement, Bioponic shall not compete with or solicit our company’s customers.

Subsequent to the closing of the asset purchase agreement and as described in our current report on Form 8-K dated December 16, 2013 and filed on December 18, 2013, effective November 1, 2013 Steven Schorr ceased to be Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Operations Officer of our company and, in connection therewith, the foregoing consulting agreement with Bioponic was terminated.

Mr. Schorr's retirement was mutually agreed to amongst the parties as a result of our company’s desire to make available working capital for other operational matters and as a result of Mr. Schorr’s and Bioponic’s respective

Table of Contents

operational duties being substantially complete. Mr. Schorr will continue to be a director of our company and will remain available to offer consulting services to our company on an as needed basis.

In connection with the foregoing settlement and to reflect outstanding compensation matters, Bioponic and our company entered into a termination agreement dated December 16, 2013 and effective November 1, 2013, whereby, among other things, our Company will make payments to Bioponic totalling $120,000 and Bioponic will retain ownership of the 1,000,000 stock options granted to it.

EXHIBIT 14.1

KONARED CORPORATION

CODE OF ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT

FOR THE DIRECTORS AND SENIOR OFFICERS

This Code (the “Code”) applies to all Directors, the Board Chair, the Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board, the President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer and other persons who may perform senior management functions for KonaRed Corporation (the “Company”) now or in the future (the “Directors and/or Senior Officers”). This Code covers a wide range of business practices and procedures. It does not cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out basic principles to guide all Directors and/or Senior Officers of the Company. All Directors and/or Senior Officers should conduct themselves accordingly and seek to avoid the appearance of improper behavior in any way relating to the Company.

Any Director and/or Senior Officer who has any questions about the Code should consult with the President and Chief Executive Officer or the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”).

The Company has adopted the Code for the purpose of promoting:

●

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

●

full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in all reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") or any stock exchange or market on which it may be listed for trading and in other public communications made by the Company that are within the Directors and Senior Officer’s areas of responsibility;

●

compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

●

the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code; and

●

accountability for adherence to the Code.

HONEST AND ETHICAL CONDUCT

Each Director and/or Senior Officer owes a duty to the Company to act with integrity. Integrity requires, among other things, being honest and candid. Director and/or Senior Officers must adhere to a high standard of business ethics and are expected to make decisions and take actions based on the best interests of the Company, as a whole, and not based on personal relationships or benefits. Generally, a “conflict of interest” occurs when a Director and/or Senior Officer’s personal interests is, or appears to be, inconsistent with, interferes with or is opposed to the best interests of the Company or gives the appearance of impropriety.

Business decisions and actions must be made in the best interests of the Company and should not be influenced by personal considerations or relationships. Relationships with the Company’s stakeholders - for example suppliers, and customers - should not in any way affect a Director and/or Senior Officer’s responsibility and accountability to the Company. Conflicts of interest can arise when a Director and/or Senior Officer or a member of his or her family receive improper gifts, entertainment or benefits as a result of his or her position in the Company.

disclose to the Board any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a breach of the Code, including actual or apparent conflicts of interest with the Company;

DISCLOSURE OF COMPANY INFORMATION

As a result of the Company’s status as a reporting issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), it is required to file periodic and other reports as required. The Company takes its public disclosure responsibility seriously to ensure that reports it files furnish the marketplace with full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure regarding the financial and business condition of the Company. All disclosures contained in reports and documents filed with or submitted to the SEC and any stock exchanges or markets, or government agencies, on behalf of the Company or contained in other public communications made by the Company must contain no untrue statement of a material fact, and must not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. .

The Director and/or Senior Officer, in relation to his or her area of responsibility, must be committed to providing timely, consistent and accurate information, in compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements. It is imperative that this disclosure be accomplished consistently during both good times and bad..

All of the Company’s books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect the Company’s transactions, and must conform both to applicable legal

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

requirements and to the Company’s system of internal controls. Unrecorded or “off the book” funds, assets or liabilities should not be maintained unless permitted by applicable law or regulation. Director and/or Senior Officers involved in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements must prepare those statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and any other applicable accounting standards and rules so that the financial statements materially and fairly reflect the business transactions and financial statements and related condition of the Company. Further, it is important that financial statements and related disclosures be free of material errors.

Specifically, each Director and/or Senior Officer must:

familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Company;

not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Company to others, including the Company’s independent auditors, governmental regulators, self-regulating organizations and other governmental officials;

to the extent that he or she participates in the creation of the Company’s books and records, promote the accuracy, fairness and timeliness of those records; and

in relation to his or her area of responsibility, properly review and critically analyze proposed disclosure for accuracy and completeness.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Senior Officers, directors and employee must maintain the confidentiality of confidential information entrusted to them by the Company of its customers, suppliers, joint venture partners, or others with whom the Company is considering a business or other transaction except when disclosure is authorized by an executive officer or required or mandated by laws or regulations. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be useful or helpful to competitors or harmful to the Company or its customers or suppliers, if disclosed. It also includes information that suppliers, customers and other parties have entrusted to the Company. The obligation to preserve confidential information continues even after employment ends.

Records containing personal data about employees or private information about customers and their employees are confidential. They are to be carefully safeguarded, kept current, relevant and accurate. They should be disclosed only to authorized personnel or as required by law.

The Company's policy is to cooperate with every reasonable request of government investigators for information. At the same time, the Company is entitled to all the safeguards provided by law for the benefit of persons under investigation or accused of wrongdoing, including legal representation. If a representative of any government or government agency seeks an interview or requests access to data or documents for the purposes of an investigation, the Director and/or Senior Officer should refer the representative to the Board or the Corporate Governance Committee. Directors and/or Senior Officers also should preserve all materials, including documents and e-mails that might relate to any pending or reasonably possible investigation.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

The Director and/or Senior Officer must respect and obey all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to the business and operations of the Company.

Directors and/or Senior Officers who have access to, or knowledge of, material nonpublic information from or about the Company are prohibited from buying, selling or otherwise trading in the Company's stock or other securities. "Material nonpublic" information includes any information, positive or negative, that has not yet been made available or disclosed to the public and that might be of significance to an investor, as part of the total mix of information, in deciding whether to buy or sell stock or other securities.

Directors and/or Senior Officers also are prohibited from giving "tips" on material nonpublic information, which is directly or indirectly disclosing such information to any other person, including family members, other relatives and friends, so that they may trade in the Company's stock or other securities.

Furthermore, if, during the course of a Director’s and/or Senior Officer’s service with the Company, he or she acquires material nonpublic information about another company which relates to the Company or its business, such as one of our customers or suppliers, or you learn that the Company is planning a major transaction with another company (such as an acquisition), the Director and/or Senior Officer is restricted from trading in the securities of the other company.

REPORTING ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS OF THE CODE AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE

The Company, through the Board, is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions may arise and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. This Code is not intended to provide a comprehensive guideline for Director and/or Senior Officers in relation to their business activities with the Company. Any Director and/or Senior Officer may seek clarification on the application of this Code from the Board.

Each Director and/or Senior Officer must:

notify the Company of any existing or potential violation of this Code, and failure to do so is itself a breach of the Code; and

not retaliate, directly or indirectly, or encourage others to do so, against any employee or Director and/or Senior Officer for reports, made in good faith, of any misconduct or violations of the Code solely because that employee or Director and/or Senior Officer raised a legitimate ethical issue.

The Board will take all action it considers appropriate to investigate any breach of the Code reported to it. All Senior Officers, directors and employees are required to cooperate fully with any such investigations and to provide truthful and accurate information. If the Board determines that a breach has occurred, it will take or authorize disciplinary or preventative action as it deems appropriate, after consultation with the Company’s counsel if warranted, up to and including termination of employment. Where appropriate, the Company will not limit itself to disciplinary action but may pursue legal action against the offending Director and/or Senior Officer involved. In some cases, the Company may have a legal or ethical obligation to call violations to the attention of appropriate enforcement authorities.

KonaRed Corporation

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

Compliance with the Code may be monitored by audits performed by the Board, the Company’s counsel and/or by the Company’s outside auditors. All Senior Officers, directors and employees are required to cooperate fully with any such audits and to provide truthful and accurate information.
