SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Included
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are “forward-looking”
statements, as well as historical information. Although we believe
that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements
are reasonable, we cannot assure you that the expectations
reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove to be
correct. Our actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in forward-looking statements as a result of certain
factors, including matters described in the section titled “Risk
Factors.” Forward-looking statements include those that use
forward-looking terminology, such as the words “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “project,”
“plan,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” and similar expressions,
including when used in the negative. Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are
reasonable and achievable, these statements involve risks and
uncertainties and we cannot assure you that actual results will be
consistent with these forward-looking statements. We undertake no
obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements,
whether to reflect events or circumstances after the date initially
filed or published, to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events or otherwise.
We
operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New
risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to
predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of
those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may
cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
any forward-looking statement. The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely
affecting us, our customers, counterparties, employees, and
third-party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the
impacts on our business, financial position, results of operations,
liquidity and prospects are uncertain. Continued deterioration in
general business and economic conditions, including further
increases in unemployment rates, or turbulence in domestic or
global markets could adversely affect our revenues and the values
of our assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding,
lead to a tightening of credit, and further increase stock price
volatility. In addition, changes to statutes, regulations, or
regulatory policies or practices as a result of, or in response to
COVID-19, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways.
The forward-looking statements in this Report are based on
assumptions management believes are reasonable. However, due to the
uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements, you
should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they
are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any
obligation or undertaking to publicly update any of them in light
of new information, future events, or otherwise.
From
time to time, forward-looking statements also are included in our
other periodic reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K, in our press
releases, in our presentations, on our website and in other
materials released to the public. Any or all of the forward-looking
statements included in this Report and in any other reports or
public statements made by us are not guarantees of future
performance and may turn out to be inaccurate. These
forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans,
expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are
subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Many of those
factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results
to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those
forward-looking statements. In light of these risks, uncertainties
and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking
statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or
at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of the date of this Report. All subsequent written
and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters
addressed in this Report and attributable to us or any person
acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by
the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this
Report.
Except
to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update
or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events, a change in events, conditions,
circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements, or
otherwise.

results to differ materially from expected and historical results

PART I
Item
1. Business
Company
Overview
We
were incorporated as “Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc.” on July 24,
2007, in the State of Delaware for the purpose of engaging in the
exploration of mineral properties. On October 21, 2009, we entered
into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Diamond
Information Institute, Inc. (“Diamond Information Institute”),
whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock
of Diamond Information Institute and changed the name of the
company to Bergio International, Inc. On February 19, 2020, the
Company changed its state of incorporation to the State of
Wyoming.
The
Bergio brand is our most important asset. The Bergio brand is
associated with high-quality, handcrafted and individually designed
pieces with European sensibility, Italian craftsmanship and a bold
flair for the unexpected. Bergio, is one of the most coveted
brands of fine jewelry. Established in 1995, Bergio’s signature
innovative design, coupled with extraordinary diamonds and precious
stones, earned the company recognition as a highly sought-after
purveyor of rare and exquisite treasures from around the globe. As
President, CEO and Head Designer of Bergio, Berge Abajian performs
a highly successful balancing act, accomplished with equal parts
precision and passion. An informed and inspirational leader, Berge
directs the company with the eye and soul of a designer and the
mind of a businessman. The role that is perhaps closest to his
heart, however, is that of designer. With family jewelry roots
reaching back the 1930s, Berge is a third-generation jeweler and a
purist when it comes to design. Berge’s understanding of every
aspect, in both design and manufacturing, creates collections that
are nothing short of peerless in craftsmanship and style. Berge
creates a collection; he looks well beyond the drawing board. Berge
focuses on the woman who will ultimately wear his pieces, bringing
to creation a magnificent piece of jewelry that reflects the beauty
and vitality a woman possesses. Bergio creations are a seamless
blend of classic elegance and subtle flair, adding to a woman’s
charm while never overpowering her.
It is
our intention to establish Bergio as a holding company for the
purpose of establishing retails stores worldwide. Our branded
product lines are products and/or collections designed by our
designer and CEO Berge Abajian and will be the centerpiece of our
retail stores. We also intend to complement our own
quality-designed jewelry with other products and our own specially
designed handbags. This is in line with our strategy and belief
that a brand name can create an association with innovation, design
and quality which helps add value to the individual products as
well as facilitate the introduction of new products.
It is
our intention to open elegant stores in “high-end” areas and
provide excellent service in our stores which will be staffed with
knowledgeable professionals.
We
also intend to sell our products on a wholesale basis to limited
customers.
On
March 5, 2014, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary called
Crown Luxe, Inc. in the State of Delaware (“Crown Luxe”). Crown Lux
was established to operate the Company’s first retail store, which
was opened in Bergen County, New Jersey in 2014.
During
the fall of 2018, we opened our second retail store at the new
Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. We are also
contemplating the opening of new stores in the future.
The
Company’s plan is also to expand its online presence and take
advantage of the Bergio Brand.
On
February 10, 2021, we entered into an Acquisition Agreement with
Digital Age Business, Inc., a Florida corporation, (“Digital Age
Business”), pursuant to which the shareholders of Digital Age
Business agreed to sell all of the assets and liabilities of
its Aphrodite’s business to a recently formed subsidiary of the
Company known as Aphrodite’s Marketing, Inc. (“Aphrodite’s
Marketing”), a Wyoming corporation in exchange for newly created
Series B Preferred Stock of the Company, which collectively, shall
be convertible at Shareholders’ option, at any time, in whole or in
part, into that number of shares of common stock of the Company
which shall equal thirty percent (30%) of the total issued and
outstanding common stock of the Company (as determined at the
earlier of (i) the date of conversion of the Series B Preferred
Stock; and (ii) eighteen (18) months following the Closing). We own
51% of Aphrodite’s Marketing. In addition, the Company will provide
an additional $5,000,000 in financing for Aphrodite’s Marketing,
Inc. (See Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional detail and Form 8-K file with the SEC on February 17,
2021).
On
July 1, 2021 (“Closing”), we entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with GearBubble, Inc., a Nevada
corporation, (“GearBubble”), pursuant to which the shareholders of
GearBubble (the “Equity Recipients”) agreed to sell 100% of the
issued and outstanding shares of GearBubble to a recently formed
subsidiary of the Company known as GearBubble Tech, Inc.
(“GearBubble Tech”), a Wyoming corporation in exchange for
$3,162,000 (the “Cash Purchase Price”), which shall be paid as
follows: a) $2,000,000 (which was paid in cash at Closing), b)
$1,162,000 to be paid in 15 equal installments, and c) 49,000 of
the 100,000 authorized shares of the Merger Sub, such that upon the
Closing, 51% of the Merger Sub shall be owned by the Company, and
49% of the Merger Sub shall be owned by the GearBubble
Shareholders. We own 51% of GearBubble Tech (See Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail and Form
8-K file with the SEC on July 12, 2021).
The
funding for these acquisitions were a combination of proceeds from
the issuance of common stock from our S-1 Registration Statement
and debt.
Aphrodite’s
Marketing and GearBubble Tech are expected to increase our online
presence and provide for expansion of the Bergio Brand. Aphrodite
is a one-stop shop for jewelry, gifts, and surprises for any
occasion. The online stores provides for a unique gifting
experience in the ecommerce space. With their technological
experience in ecommerce, we expect to grow the Bergio Brand, and in
conjunction with Bergio’s design expertise and years of experience
in the jewelry industry, we believe we can successfully grow the
business.
The
Company has instituted various cost saving measures to conserve
cash and has worked with its debtors in an attempt to negotiate the
debt terms. The Company has been also investigating various
strategies to increase sales and expand its business. The Company
is in negotiations with some potential partners, but, at this time,
there is nothing concrete, but the Company remains positive about
its prospects. However, there is no assurance that the Company will
be successful in its endeavors or that it will be able to increase
its business.
Our
future operations are contingent upon increasing revenues and
raising capital for on-going operations and expansion of our
product lines. Because we have a limited operating history, you may
have difficulty evaluating our business and future
prospects.
Principal
Products and Services
Our
products consist of a wide range of unique jewelry styles and
designs made from precious metals such as gold, platinum and Karat
gold, as well as other precious stones. We continuously innovate
and change our designs based upon consumer trends. As a result of
new designs being created, we believe we are able to differentiate
ourselves from our competition and strengthen our brands. We sell
our products to our customers at price points that reflect the
market price of the base material as well as design and processing
fees.
We
believe that we are a trendsetter in jewelry manufacturing. As a
result, we come out with a variety of products throughout the year
that we believe have commercial potential to meet what we feel are
new trends within the industry. The “Bergio” designs consist of
upscale jewelry that includes white diamonds, yellow diamonds,
pearls, and colored stones, in 18K gold, platinum, and palladium.
We currently design and produce approximately 100 to 150 product
styles. Current retail prices for our products range from $400 to
$200,000.
Our
product range is divided into three fashion lines: (i) an 18K gold
line, (ii) a bridal line, and (iii) a couture and/or one of kind
pieces. Our Chief Executive Officer and director, Mr. Abajian,
consults regularly with the design teams to design and create new
products and product lines.
Each
year, we attempt to expand and/or enhance these lines, while
constantly seeking to identify trends that we believe exist in the
market for new styles or types of merchandise. Design and
innovation are the primary focus of our manufacturing and we are
less concerned with the supply and capacity of raw materials. Mr.
Abajian with his contacts, which are located mostly overseas,
regularly meets to discuss, conceptualize and develop Bergio’s
various products and collections. When necessary, additional
suppliers and design teams can be brought in as needed. Management
intends to maintain a diverse line of jewelry to mitigate
concentration of sales and continuously expand our market
reach.
Competition
and Market Overview
The
jewelry design and manufacture industry is extremely competitive
and has low barriers to entry. We compete with other jewelry
designers and manufacturers of upscale jewelry as well as retail
jewelry stores and ecommerce stores. There are over 1,500 jewelry
design and manufacture companies worldwide, several of which have
greater experience, brand name recognition and financial resources
than Bergio, but our vision to create a one Branded stores offering
variety of products gives us an advantage over other
designers.
Our
management believes that the jewelry industry competes in the
global marketplace and therefore must be adaptable to remain
competitive. Consumer spending for discretionary goods such as
jewelry is sensitive to changes in consumer confidence and
ultimately consumer confidence is affected by general business
considerations in the U.S. economy. Consumer discretionary spending
generally declines during times of falling consumer confidence,
which may affect the retail sale of our products. U.S. consumer
confidence reflected these slowing conditions throughout the last
few years.
We
believe that a stronger economy, more spending by young
professionals with an overall trend toward luxury products will
lead to future growth. Therefore, we intend to make strong efforts
to maintain our brand in the industry through our focus on the
innovation and design of our products as well as being able to
consolidate and increase cost efficiency when possible through
acquisitions.
Marketing
and Distribution
It is
our intention to establish Bergio as a holding company for the
purpose of establishing retails stores worldwide and increase our
online presence. Our branded product lines are products and/or
collections designed by our designer and CEO Berge Abajian and will
be the centerpiece of our retail and ecommerce stores. We also
intend to complement our own quality-designed jewelry with other
products and our own specially designed handbags manufactured in
Florence Italy also we introduced our silver Fashion Line which
completed the Brand. This is in line with our strategy and belief
that a brand name can create an association with innovation, design
and quality which helps add value to the individual products as
well as facilitate the introduction of new products.
It is
our intention to open elegant stores in “high-end” areas and
provide excellent service in our stores which will be staffed with
knowledgeable professionals and opening online shopping gives us an
extreme reach into different markets and support our retail
operations.
We
also intend to sell our products on a wholesale basis to limited
customers.
On
February 10, 2021, we entered into an Acquisition Agreement with
Digital Age Business, Inc., a Florida corporation, pursuant to
which the shareholders of Digital Age Business agreed to sell all
of the assets and liabilities of its Aphrodite’s business to a
recently formed subsidiary of the Company known as Aphrodite’s
Marketing, Inc.
On
July 1, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with
GearBubble, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (“GearBubble”), pursuant to
which the shareholders of GearBubble agreed to sell 100% of the
issued and outstanding shares of GearBubble to a recently formed
subsidiary of the Company known as GearBubble Tech, Inc.
Aphrodite’s
Marketing and GearBubble Tech are expected to increase our online
presence and provide for expansion of the Bergio Brand.
Customers
For
the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, no customer accounted
for over 10% of total revenues.
As of
December 31, 2021, accounts receivable, net amounted to $51,324 and
two customers represented 75% of this balance. As of December 31,
2020, accounts receivable, net amounted to $100,255 and three
customers represented 89% of this balance.
Sources
and Availability of Raw Materials and Principal
Suppliers
Most
of the inventory and raw materials we purchase occurs through our
manufacturers located in Europe and U.S. The inventory that we
directly maintain is based on recent sales and revenues of our
products but ultimately is at the discretion of Mr. Abajian, and
his experience in the industry. Our inventories are commodities
that can be incorporated into future products or can be sold on the
open market. Additionally, we perform physical inventory
inspections on a quarterly basis to assess upcoming styling needs
and consider the current pricing in metals and stones needed for
our products.
We
acquire all raw gemstones, precious metals and other raw materials
used for manufacturing our products on the open market. We are not
constrained in our purchasing by any contracts with any suppliers
and acquire raw material based upon, among other things,
availability and price on the open wholesale market.
Product
for U.S. consumption is now produced in the U.S, and our contracted
manufacturer in Italy. Our manufacturing supplier in Italy, who
procures the raw materials in accordance with the specifications
and designs submitted by Bergio. However, the general supply of
precious metals and stones used by us can be reasonably forecast
even though the prices will fluctuate. Any price differentials in
the precious metals and stones will typically be passed on to the
customer.
Most
of our precious stones are purchased from various diamond dealers.
We do not have any formal agreements with any of our suppliers but
have established an ongoing relationship with each of our
suppliers.
Intellectual
Property
Bergio
is a federally registered trademarked name that we own. Since the
first trademark of “Bergio” was filed, all advertising, marketing,
trade shows and overall presentation of our product to the public
has prominently displayed this trademark. As additional lines are
designed and added to our products, we may trademark new names to
distinguish particular products and jewelry lines.
Research
and Development
There
were no expenses incurred for research and development in 2021 and
2020.
Employees
As of
March 25, 2022, Bergio International, Inc, and subsidiaries had 17
full-time employees and 4 part-time employees. Our current
employees are administrative, sales and marketing personnel. No
personnel are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We use
the services of independent consultants and contractors from time
to time when needed.
Environmental
Regulation and Compliance
The
United States environmental laws do not materially impact our
manufacturing as we are using state of the art equipment that
complies with all relevant environmental laws.
Approximately
5% of the Company’s manufacturing is contracted to quality
suppliers in the vicinity of Valenza, Italy, with the remaining 95%
of setting and finishing work being conducted in our Fairfield, New
Jersey facility. The setting and finishing work done in our New
Jersey facility involves the use of precision lasers, rather than
using old soldering procedures which uses gas and oxygen to
assemble different elements. Soap and water is used as a standard
to clean the jewelry. Also, a standard polishing compound is used
for the finishing work, but it does not have a material impact on
our cost and effect of compliance with environmental
laws.
Government
Regulation
Currently,
we are subject to all of the government regulations that regulate
businesses generally such as compliance with regulatory
requirements of federal, state, and local agencies and authorities,
including regulations concerning workplace safety, labor relations,
and disadvantaged businesses. In addition, our operations are
affected by federal and state laws relating to marketing practices
in the retail jewelry industry. We are subject to the jurisdiction
of federal, various state and other taxing authorities. From time
to time, these taxing authorities review or audit our
business.

Item
1A. Risk Factors
Risks
Related to Our Business and Industry
WE HAVE HAD LIMITED OPERATIONS, HAVE INCURRED LOSSES SINCE
INCEPTION, HAVE LIMITEDCASH TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS, AND WE NEED
ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS PLAN AND RECEIVED A
GOING CONCERN OPINION IN PRIOR PERIODS.
The
Company has suffered recurring losses. During the year ended
December 31, 2021, the Company had net loss of $3,562,185 and cash
used in operations of $2,179,237. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts
shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent
upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn, is
dependent upon the Company's ability to raise capital and/or
generate positive cash flows from operations.
Management
plans to achieve profitability by increasing its business through
opening additional retail stores and expanding its online presence.
There can be no assurance that the Company can raise the required
capital to support operations or increase sales to achieve
profitable operations. These consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event
the Company cannot continue in existence.
A DECLINE IN DISCRETIONARY CONSUMER SPENDING MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT
OUR INDUSTRY, OUR OPERATIONS, AND ULTIMATELY OUR
PROFITABILITY.
Luxury
products, such as fine jewelry, are discretionary purchases for
consumers. Any reduction in consumer discretionary spending or
disposable income may affect the jewelry industry more
significantly than other industries. Many economic factors outside
of our control could affect consumer discretionary spending,
including the financial markets, consumer credit availability,
prevailing interest rates, energy costs, employment levels, salary
levels, and tax rates. Any reduction in discretionary consumer
spending could materially adversely affect our business and
financial condition.
THERE IS A RISK ASSOCIATED WITH COVID-19
The
Company’s operations were and may be continued to be affected by
the recent and ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease
(COVID-19) which in March 2020, was declared a pandemic by the
World Health Organization. The ultimate disruption which may be
caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result in a
material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position,
operations and cash flows. Possible areas that may be affected
include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s
customers and revenue, labor workforce, unavailability of products
and supplies used in operations, and the decline in value of assets
held by the Company, including property and equipment.
OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY WORLDWIDE
POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES AND SPECIFIC CONDITIONS IN THE
MARKETS WE ADDRESS.
In
the recent past, general worldwide economic conditions have
experienced a downturn due to slower economic activity, concerns
about inflation, increased energy costs, decreased consumer
confidence, and reduced corporate profits and capital spending, and
adverse business conditions. Any continuation or worsening of the
current global economic and financial conditions could materially
adversely affect (i) our ability to raise, or the cost of, needed
capital, (ii) demand for our current and future products and (iii)
our ability to commercialize products. We cannot predict the
timing, strength, or duration of any economic slowdown or
subsequent economic recovery, worldwide, or in the display
industry.
THE LOSS OF THE SERVICERS OF OUR KEY EMPLOYEES, PARTICULARLY THE
SERVICES RENDERED BY OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, MR.
BERGE ABAJIAN, COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.
We
believe our success will depend, to a significant extent, on the
efforts and abilities of Berge Abajian, our Chief Executive
Officer. If we lost Mr. Abajian, we would be forced to expend
significant time and money in the pursuit of a replacement, which
would result in both a delay in the implementation of our business
plan and the diversion of limited working capital. We can give you
no assurance that we could find a satisfactory replacement for Mr.
Abajian at all, or on terms that are not unduly expensive or
burdensome.
OUR FUTURE SUCCESS DEPENDS UPON, IN LARGE PART, OUR CONTINUING
ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL.
If we
grow and implement our business plan, we will need to add
managerial talent to support our business plan. There is no
guarantee that we will be successful in adding such managerial
talent. These professionals are regularly recruited by other
companies and may choose to change companies. Given our relatively
small size compared to some of our competitors, the performance of
our business may be more adversely affected than our competitors
would be if we lose well-performing employees and are unable to
attract new ones.
BECAUSE WE INTEND TO OPEN NEW RETAIL STORES AND SUCH ACTIVITY
INVOLVES A NUMBER OF RISKS, OUR BUSINESS MAY
SUFFER.
We
may consider acquisitions of assets or other business. Any
acquisition or opening of another retail store or other operations
involves a number of risks that could fail to meet our expectations
and adversely affect our profitability. For
example:
|
● |
The
acquired assets or business may not achieve expected
results; |
|
● |
We
may incur substantial, unanticipated costs, delays or other
operational or financial problems when integrating the acquired
assets; |
|
● |
We
may not be able to retain key personnel of an acquired
business; |
|
● |
We
may not be able to raise the required capital to
expand; |
|
● |
Our
management’s attention may be diverted; or |
|
● |
Our
management may not be able to manage the acquired assets or
combined entity effectively or to make acquisitions and grow our
business internally at the same time. |
If
these problems arise, we may not realize the expected benefits of
an acquisition.
BECAUSE THE JEWELRY INDUSTRY IN GENERAL IS AFFECTED BY FLUCTUATIONS
IN THE PRICES OF PRECIOUS METALS AND PRECIOUS AND SEMI-PRECIOUS
STONES, WE COULD EXPERIENCE INCREASED OPERATING COSTS THAT WILL
AFFECT OUR BOTTOM LINE.
The
availability and prices of gold, diamonds, and other precious
metals and precious and semi-precious stones may be influenced by
cartels, political instability in exporting countries and
inflation.
Shortages
of these materials or sharp changes in their prices could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial
condition. A significant change in prices of key commodities,
including gold, could adversely affect our business or reduce
operating margins and impact consumer demand if retail prices
increased significantly, even though we historically incorporate
any increases in the purchase of raw materials to our consumers.
Additionally, a significant disruption in our supply of gold or
other commodities could decrease the production and shipping levels
of our products, which may materially increase our operating costs
and ultimately affect our profit margins.
BECAUSE WE DEPEND ON OUR ABILITY TO IDENTIFY AND RESPOND TO FASHION
TRENDS, IF WE MISJUDGE THESE TRENDS, OUR ABILITY TO MAINTAIN AND
GAIN MARKET SHARE WILL BE AFFECTED.
The
jewelry industry is subject to rapidly changing fashion trends and
shifting consumer demands. Accordingly, our success may depend on
the priority that our target customers place on fashion and our
ability to anticipate, identify, and capitalize upon emerging
fashion trends. If we misjudge fashion trends or are unable to
adjust our products in a timely manner, our net sales may decline
or fail to meet expectations and any excess inventory may be sold
at lower prices.
OUR ABILITY TO MAINTAIN OR INCREASE OUR REVENUES COULD BE HARMED IF
WE ARE UNABLE TO STRENGTHEN AND MAINTAIN OUR BRAND
IMAGE.
We
have spent significant amounts of time and money in branding our
Bergio and Bergio Bridal lines. We believe that primary factors in
determining customer buying decisions, especially in the jewelry
industry, are determined by price, confidence in the merchandise
and quality associated with a brand. The ability to differentiate
products from competitors of the Company has been a factor in
attracting consumers. However, if the Company’s ability to promote
its brand fails to garner brand recognition, its ability to
generate revenues may suffer. If the Company fails to differentiate
its products, its ability to sell its products wholesale will be
adversely affected. These factors could result in lower selling
prices and sales volumes, which could adversely affect its
financial condition and results of operations.
IF WE WERE TO EXPERIENCE SUBSTANTIAL DEFAULTS BY OUR CUSTOMERS ON
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THIS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON
OUR LIQUIDITY AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
If
customers responsible for a large amount of accounts receivable
were to become insolvent or otherwise unable to pay for our
products, or to make payments in a timely manner, our liquidity and
results of operations could be materially adversely affected. An
economic or industry downturn could materially affect the ability
to collect these accounts receivable, which could then result in
longer payment cycles, increased collections costs and defaults in
excess of management’s expectations. A significant deterioration in
the ability to collect on accounts receivable could affect our cash
flow and working capital position.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO INCREASE SALES OR OTHERWISE SUCCESSFULLY
OPERATE OUR BUSINESS, WHICH COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE
IMPACT ON OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.
We
believe that the key to our success is to increase our revenues and
available cash. We may not have the resources required to promote
our business and its potential benefits. If we are unable to gain
market acceptance of our business, we will not be able to generate
enough revenue to achieve and maintain profitability or to continue
our operations.
We
may not be able to increase our sales or effectively operate our
business. To the extent we are unable to achieve sales growth, we
may continue to incur losses. We may not be successful or make
progress in the growth and operation of our business. Our current
and future expense levels are based on operating plans and
estimates of future sales and revenues and are subject to increase
as strategies are implemented. Even if our sales grow, we may be
unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any
unexpected revenue shortfall.
Further,
if we substantially increase our operating expenses to increase
sales and marketing, and such expenses are not subsequently
followed by increased revenues, our operating performance and
results would be adversely affected and, if sustained, could have a
material adverse effect on our business. To the extent we implement
cost reduction efforts to align our costs with revenue, our sales
could be adversely affected.
WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN
ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL,
AS NEEDED, THE FUTURE GROWTH OF OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS COULD
BE SEVERELY LIMITED.
A
limiting factor on our growth is our limited capitalization, which
could impact our ability to execute on our business plan. If we
raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, this will
result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds
through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the
percentage ownership of the Company held by existing shareholders
will be reduced and our shareholders may experience significant
dilution. In addition, new securities may contain rights,
preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our Common
Stock. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt or
other equity instruments, we may become subject to certain
operational limitations (for example, negative operating
covenants). There can be no assurance that acceptable financing
necessary to further implement our business plan can be obtained on
suitable terms, if at all. Our ability to develop our business,
fund expansion, develop or enhance products or respond to
competitive pressures, could suffer if we are unable to raise the
additional funds on acceptable terms, which would have the effect
of limiting our ability to increase our revenues or possibly attain
profitable operations in the future.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MANAGE GROWTH, WHICH MAY IMPACT OUR POTENTIAL
PROFITABILITY.
Successful
implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our
growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management
and financial resources. To manage growth effectively, we will need
to:
|
● |
Establish
definitive business strategies, goals and objectives; |
|
● |
Maintain
a system of management controls; and |
|
● |
Attract
and retain qualified personnel, as well as, develop, train and
manage management-level and other employees. |
If we
fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial
condition or operating results could be materially harmed, and our
stock price may decline.
Risks
Related to Our Common Stock
OUR COMMON STOCK IS CURRENTLY QUOTED ON THE OTC MARKETS (PINK
SHEETS), WHICH MAY HAVE AN UNFAVORABLE IMPACT ON OUR STOCK PRICE
AND LIQUIDITY.
Our
common stock is quoted on the Pink Sheets, an over-the-counter
electronic quotation system maintained by the OTC Markets.
The quotation of our shares on the Pink Sheets may result in
a less liquid market available for existing and potential
stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the
trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term
adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the
future.
THERE IS LIMITED LIQUIDITY ON THE PINK SHEETS, WHICH ENHANCES THE
VOLATILE NATURE OF OUR EQUITY.
When
fewer shares of a security are being traded on the Pink Sheets,
volatility of prices may increase and price movement may outpace
the ability to deliver accurate quote information. Due to
lower trading volumes in shares of our common stock, there may be a
lower likelihood that orders for shares of our common stock will be
executed, and current prices may differ significantly from the
price that was quoted at the time of entry of the order.
OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED A “PENNY STOCK,” AND IS SUBJECT TO
ADDITIONAL SALE AND TRADING REGULATIONS THAT MAY MAKE IT MORE
DIFFICULT TO SELL.
Our
common stock is considered to be a “penny stock” since it does not
qualify for one of the exemptions from the definition of “penny
stock” under Section 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. Our common stock
is a “penny stock” because it meets one or more of the following
conditions (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per
share; (ii) it is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange;
(iii) it is not quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or even if so,
has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a
company that has been in business less than three years with net
tangible assets less than $5 million.
The
principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is
that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common
stock will be subject to the “penny stock” regulations set forth in
Rules 15-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For
example, Rule 15g-2 requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks
to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks
of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written
receipt of the document at least two business days before effecting
any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account.
Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to
approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks
before selling any penny stock to that investor.
This
procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the
investor information concerning his or her financial situation,
investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably
determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny
stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has
sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of
evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the
investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which
the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv)
receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the
investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's
financial situation, investment experience and investment
objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more
difficult and time consuming for holders of our common stock to
resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of
them in the market or otherwise.
OUR CURRENT CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND SOLE DIRECTOR, MR. BERGE
ABAJIAN HAS SUFFICIENT VOTING POWER TO CONTROL THE VOTE ON
SUBSTANTIALLY ALL CORPORATE MATTERS.
Berge
Abajian, our chief executive officer and sole director has
sufficient voting power to control the vote on substantially all
corporate matters. Accordingly, Mr. Abajian will be able to
determine the composition of our board of directors, will retain
the effective voting power to approve all matters requiring
shareholder approval, will prevail in matters requiring shareholder
approval, including, in particular the election and removal of
directors, and will continue to have significant influence over our
business. As a result of his ownership and position in the Company,
Mr. Abajian is able to influence all matters requiring shareholder
action, including significant corporate transactions.
TRADING OF OUR STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE U.S. SECURITIES &
EXCHANGE COMMISSION’S PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS, WHICH MAY LIMIT A
STOCKHOLDER’S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.
The
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations
which generally define “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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 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 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.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE A LIMITED ACCOUNTING STAFF, AND IF WE FAIL TO
DEVELOP OR MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROLS, WE
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REPORT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS TIMELY AND
ACCURATELY OR PREVENT FRAUD, WHICH WOULD LIKELY HAVE A NEGATIVE
IMPACT ON THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON UNITS.
We
are subject to the public reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Effective
internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable and
timely financial reports, prevent fraud and to operate successfully
as a publicly traded partnership.
We
prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with
accounting and principles generally accepted in the United States,
but our internal accounting controls may not meet all standards
applicable to companies with publicly traded securities. Our
efforts to develop and maintain our internal controls may not be
successful, and we may be unable to maintain effective controls
over our financial processes and reporting in the future or to
comply with our obligations under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, which we refer to as Section 404. For example, Section
404 requires us, among other things, to annually review and report
on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest
to, the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial
reporting. Based on management’s evaluation, as of December
31, 2021, our management concluded that we had several material
weaknesses related to our internal controls over financial
reporting (See Item 9A).
THE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON SHARES IS PARTICULARLY VOLATILE
GIVEN OUR STATUS AS A RELATIVELY UNKNOWN COMPANY WITH A SMALL AND
THINLY TRADED PUBLIC FLOAT, LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND LACK OF
PROFITS WHICH COULD LEAD TO WIDE FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR SHARE PRICE.
YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL YOUR COMMON SHARES AT OR ABOVE YOUR
PURCHASE PRICE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES TO
YOU.
The
market for our common shares is characterized by significant price
volatility when compared to the shares of larger, more established
companies that trade on a national securities exchange and have
large public floats, and we expect that our share price will
continue to be more volatile than the shares of such larger, more
established companies for the indefinite future. The volatility in
our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as
noted above, our common shares are, compared to the shares of such
larger, more established companies, sporadically and thinly traded.
As a consequence of this limited liquidity, the trading of
relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may
disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either
direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline
precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares
are sold on the market without commensurate demand. Secondly, we
are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our limited
operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of
future market acceptance for our potential products. As a
consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may,
under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the
event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to
sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater
discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more
established company that trades on a national securities exchange
and has a large public float. Many of these factors are beyond our
control and may decrease the market price of our common shares,
regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any
predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price
for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether
our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as
to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of
common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing
market price.
WE WILL INCUR INCREASED COSTS AS A RESULT OF BEING A PUBLIC
COMPANY, WHICH COULD AFFECT OUR PROFITABILITY AND OPERATING
RESULTS.
We
voluntarily file annual, quarterly and current reports with the
SEC. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”)
and the rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board have imposed various
requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in
corporate governance practices. We expect these rules and
regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs
and to make some activities of ours more time-consuming and costly.
We expect to spend between $50,000 and $100,000 in legal and
accounting expenses annually to comply with our SEC reporting
obligations and Sarbanes-Oxley. These costs could affect
profitability and our results of operations.
WE HAVE NOT PAID DIVIDENDS IN THE PAST AND DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY
DIVIDENDS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. ANY RETURN ON INVESTMENT MAY
BE LIMITED TO THE VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
No
cash dividends have been paid on the Company’s common stock. We
expect that any income received from operations will be devoted to
our future operations and growth. The Company does not expect to
pay cash dividends in the near future. Payment of dividends would
depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available for those
dividends, and other factors as the Company’s board of directors
may consider relevant. If the Company does not pay dividends, the
Company’s common stock may be less valuable because a return on an
investor’s investment will only occur if the Company’s stock price
appreciates.

2. Properties.
Currently,
we lease 200 square feet in Fairfield, NJ for our offices. The
lease expired August 31, 2010 and is being renewed on a
month-to-month basis.
We
also lease a 1,000 square foot retail store in Closter, NJ. The
initial term of the lease is for five years commencing May 1, 2014.
The Company has the option extend its lease for five additional
years upon giving 90 days’ notice. The five-year option is
available up to 20 years. Rent payments are $1,200 a month
for the first two years, $1,275 for the third and fourth year, and
$1,350 for the fifth year. If the Company renews its option for the
second five years, the rent will begin at $1,415 and escalate to
$1,665 in the fifth year. If the option is exercised for the third
five-year term, rent will begin at $1,800 per month and escalate to
$2,280 in the fifth year. The rent for the last five years, if the
Company exercises its option, will be at the fair market value. The
Company is also responsible for its proportionate share of common
charges.
In
June 2018, the Company entered into lease agreement Ocean Resort
Casino at 500 Boardwalk in Atlantic City, NJ for approximately
1,000 square feet of retail space to open a retail store. The
initial term is for five (5) years beginning November 18, 2018.
Subject to certain conditions, the lease is renewable for two
additional 5-year periods. Percentage rent payments will be based
on 10% of gross sales at this location and will be paid monthly.
The Company is also responsible for additional rent or common area
charges (“CAM”) of approximately $1,100 monthly.
Through
our majority owned subsidiary, Aphrodite’s Marketing, entered
into an approximate three-year lease agreement on October 1, 2019,
for its office facilities starting with a monthly base rent of
$6,582. The base rent is subject to an annual increase as
defined in the lease agreement.
Additionally,
we anticipate opening additional retail stores as we continue to
implement our business plan throughout the United States. At the
current time, our expansion plans are in the preliminary stages
with no formal negotiations being conducted. Most likely no
expansions will take place until additional revenues can be
achieved or additional capital can be raised to help offset the
costs associated with any expansion.
Item
3. Legal Proceedings.
We
are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or
results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board,
government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or,
to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of
our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our
common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our
subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in
which an adverse decision could have a material adverse
effect.

State, a Certificate of Amendment, to amend its Articles of
Incorporation. The amendment reflected the increase in the
authorized shares of common stock from 1,000,000,000 shares to
3,000,000,000 shares. On July 9, 2021, the Company filed, with the
Wyoming Secretary of State, a Certificate of Amendment, to amend
its Articles of Incorporation. The Amendment reflected the increase
in the authorized shares of common stock from 3,000,000,000 shares
to 6,000,000 shares.

or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ
significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated,
expected, intended, or planned.
Although
we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results,
levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except, as
required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the
United States, we do not intend to update any of the
forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual
results.
Our
financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These
accounting principles require us to make certain estimates,
judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments
and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon
information available to us at the time that these estimates,
judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and
assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods
presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the
extent there are material differences between these estimates and
actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a
particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does
not require management’s judgment in its application. There are
also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any
available alternative would not produce a materially different
result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this report.
General
Management’s
discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial
condition is intended to assist the reader in the understanding and
assessment of significant changes and trends related to the results
of operations and financial position of the Company together with
its subsidiary. This discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying financial notes, and with the Critical Accounting
Policies noted below.
Plan
of Operation
The
Bergio brand is our most important asset. The Bergio brand is
associated with high-quality, handcrafted and individually designed
pieces with European sensibility, Italian craftsmanship and a bold
flair for the unexpected. Bergio, is one of the most coveted brands
of fine jewelry. Established in 1995, Bergio’s signature innovative
design, coupled with extraordinary diamonds and precious stones,
earned the company recognition as a highly sought-after purveyor of
rare and exquisite treasures from around the globe.
When
designer and PEO, Berge Abajian, creates a collection, he looks
well beyond the drawing board. Berge focuses on the woman who will
ultimately wear his pieces, bringing to creation a magnificent
piece of jewelry that reflects the beauty and vitality a woman
possesses. Bergio creations are a seamless blend of classic
elegance and subtle flair, adding to a woman’s charm while never
overpowering her.
It is
our intention to establish Bergio as a holding company for the
purpose of establishing retails stores worldwide. Our branded
product lines are products and/or collections designed by our
designer and CEO Berge Abajian and will be the centerpiece of our
retail stores. We also intend to complement our own
quality-designed jewelry with other products and our own specially
designed handbags. This is in line with our strategy and belief
that a brand name can create an association with innovation, design
and quality which helps add value to the individual products as
well as facilitate the introduction of new products.
It is
our intention to open elegant stores in “high-end” areas and
provide excellent service in our stores which will be staffed with
knowledgeable professionals.
We
also intend to sell our products on a wholesale basis to limited
customers.
We
have spent over $3 million in branding the Bergio name through
tradeshows, trade advertising, national advertising and billboard
advertising since launching the line in 1995.
In
2019 we introduced The Silver Fashion Collection ranging in price
from $50 to $1,200. The Company also introduced the Bergio Handbag
Collection, manufactured in Italy with top quality Italian leather
ranging in price from $450 to $875, which are very competitive
entry prices.
Our
products consist of a wide range of unique styles and designs made
from precious metals such as, gold, platinum, and Karat gold, as
well as diamonds and other precious stones. We currently design and
produce approximately 100 to 150 product styles. Current retail
prices for our products range from $400 to $200,000. We have
manufacturing control over our line as a result of having a
manufacturing facility in New Jersey as well as subcontracts with
facilities located in Italy.
On
March 5, 2014, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary called
Crown Luxe, Inc. in the State of Delaware (“Crown Luxe”). Crown Lux
was established to operate the Company’s first retail store, which
was opened in Bergen County, New Jersey in 2014.
During
the fall of 2018, we opened our second retail store at the new
Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. We are also
contemplating the opening of new stores in the future.
On
February 10, 2021, Bergio International, Inc. entered into an
Acquisition Agreement with Digital Age Business, Inc., a Florida
corporation, (“Digital Age Business”), pursuant to which the
shareholders of Digital Age Business agreed to sell all of
the assets and liabilities of its Aphrodite’s business to a
recently formed subsidiary of the Company known as Aphrodite’s
Marketing, Inc., a Wyoming corporation in exchange for newly
created Series B Preferred Stock of the Company, which
collectively, shall be convertible at Shareholders’ option, at any
time, in whole or in part, into that number of shares of common
stock of the Company which shall equal thirty percent (30%) of the
total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company (as
determined at the earlier of (i) the date of conversion of the
Series B Preferred Stock; and (ii) eighteen (18) months following
the Closing). In addition, the Company will provide an additional
$5,000,000 in financing for Aphrodite’s Marketing, Inc. We own 51%
of Aphrodite’s Marketing, Inc.
On
July 1, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with
GearBubble, Inc., a Nevada corporation, pursuant to which the
shareholders of GearBubble agreed to sell 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of GearBubble to a recently formed subsidiary of
the Company known as GearBubble Tech, Inc., a Wyoming corporation
in exchange for $3,162,000 (the “Cash Purchase Price”), which shall
be paid as follows: a) $2,000,000 (which was paid in cash at
Closing), b) $1,162,000 to be paid in 15 equal installments, and c)
49,000 of the 100,000 authorized shares of the Merger Sub, such
that upon the Closing, 51% of the Merger Sub shall be owned by the
Company, and 49% of the Merger Sub shall be owned by the GearBubble
Shareholders. We own 51% of GearBubble Tech, Inc.
The
funding for these acquisitions were a combination of proceeds from
the issuance of common stock from our S-1 Registration Statement
and debt.
Aphrodite’s
Marketing and GearBubble Tech are expected to increase our online
presence and provide for expansion of the Bergio Brand. Aphrodite
is a one-stop shop for jewelry, gifts, and surprises for any
occasion. The online stores provide for a unique gifting experience
in the ecommerce space. With their technological experience in
ecommerce, we expect to grow the Bergio Brand, and in conjunction
with Bergio’s design expertise and years of experience in the
jewelry industry, we believe we can successfully grow the
business.
The
Company has instituted various cost saving measures to conserve
cash and has worked with its debtors in an attempt to negotiate the
debt terms. The Company has been also investigating various
strategies to increase sales and expand its business. The Company
is in negotiations with some potential partners, but, at this time,
there is nothing concrete, but the Company remains positive about
its prospects. However, there is no assurance that the Company will
be successful in its endeavors or that it will be able to increase
its business.
Our
future operations are contingent upon increasing revenues and
raising capital for on-going operations and expansion of our
product lines. Because we have a limited operating history, you may
have difficulty evaluating our business and future
prospects.
The
Company’s retail operations have been and continue to be affected
by the recent and ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease
(COVID-19) which in March 2020, was declared a pandemic by the
World Health Organization. The ultimate disruption which may be
caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result in a
material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position,
operations and cash flows. Possible areas that may be affected
include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s
customers and revenue, labor workforce, unavailability of products
and supplies used in operations, and the decline in value of assets
held by the Company, including property and equipment.
Results
of Operations - For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to
the Year Ended December 31, 2020
Overview
Net
revenues increased during the year ended December 31, 2021 due to
Aphrodite’s Marketing and GearBubble Tech acquisition as compared
to the year ended December 31, 2020 despite the impact of the
current pandemic. Our retail operations have been impacted by the
pandemic. We continue to evaluate our initiatives. We are expanding
our online presence and have been experiencing positive results,
but it is too early to assess the real impact. The Company
continues to position itself for the future with the acquisition of
Aphrodite’s Marketing and GearBubble Tech and take advantage of the
Bergio brand in the E-Commerce space as well as establishing a
chain of retail stores worldwide. Our branded product lines are
products and/or collections designed by our designer and CEO Berge
Abajian and will be the centerpiece of our retail stores. We also
intend to complement our own quality-designed jewelry with other
products and our own specially designed handbags. This is in line
with our strategy and belief that a brand name can create an
association with innovation, design and quality which helps add
value to the individual products as well as facilitate the
introduction of new products. It is our intention to open elegant
stores in “high-end” areas and provide excellent service in our
stores which will be staffed with knowledgeable professionals. We
continue to be excited about our store in Atlantic City, NJ. Our
initial store in northern New Jersey has not done as well as we had
hoped and the wholesale market has also not been favorable but with
the addition of our online presence it has helped the company to
reach a favorable balance. The Company has leveraged itself such
that as sales increase a larger portion of dollars will flow to the
bottom line.
The
Company continues to pursue additional financing opportunities and
we have initiated measures to strengthen our financial position. As
a result, we have accomplished the following:
|
● |
We have converted our
convertible debts into equity. |
|
● |
Filed a S-1
registration statement with the SEC. The Company has received
approximately $3.8 million in proceeds from this offering for the
year ended December 31, 2021. |
|
● |
Raised additional
funding from loans and notes. |
These
events have allowed us to reduce our debt, provided limited funding
for operations, and funding for the Aphrodite’s Marketing and
GearBubble Tech. We continue to pursue other opportunities.
Moreover, there is no assurance that sufficient funding will be
available, or if available, that its terms will be favorable to the
Company. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

Our
working capital deficit was $2,363,877 at December 31, 2021 as
compared to working capital of $215,314 at December 31, 2020. This
decrease in working capital is primarily attributed to the increase
in liabilities as result of the acquisition of Aphrodite’s
Marketing and GearBubble Tech.
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had a net increase in
cash of $1,023,114. The Company’s principal sources and uses of
funds were as follows:
Cash
used in operating activities.

cash for operations as compared to $180,102 in cash used for
operations for year ended December 31, 2020. This increase in cash
used in operations is primarily attributed to increase in net loss,
increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $237,879,
increase in amortization of debt discount and deferred financing
cost of $1,732,163, increase in derivative expense of $227,619,

$48,931, decrease in prepaid expenses of $362,111, and decrease
deferred compensation of $99,408.
For
the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company used $180,102 in cash
for operations This increase in cash used in operations was mostly
attributed to decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
offset partially by the increase in deferred
compensation.
Cash
used in investing activities.
For
the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company used $886,209 in cash
for investing activities as a result of cash paid for the
acquisition of GearBubble Tech for $2,000,000 and purchases of
property and equipment of $47,685 offset by cash acquired from the
acquisition of GearBubble Tech of $1,161,476 as compared to $0 of
cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31,
2020.
Cash
provided financing activities.
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December
31, 2021 was $4,088,560 as compared to $227,393 for the year ended
December 31, 2020. This increase is primarily the result of net
proceeds received from convertible notes of $1,890,000, sale of
common stock of $3,768,730, proceeds from loans and note payable of
$1,196,547 offset partially by repayments of loans and notes
payable of $2,108,520, repayment of debt of $567,403 and repayment
of convertible debt of $30,000.
For
the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company provided $227,393 in
financing activities. This increase was primarily the result of an
increase in proceeds from convertible debt, loans payable partially
and proceeds from the sale of stock offset by higher payments of
loans payable and advances from stockholder.
Our
indebtedness is comprised of various convertible debt, notes
payable, loans payable, and advances from a stockholder/officer
intended to provide capital for the ongoing manufacturing of our
jewelry line, in advance of receipt of the payment from our retail
distributors.
Convertible
Notes
From
time to time the Company enters into certain financing agreements
for convertible notes. For the most part, the Company settles these
obligations with the Company’s common stock. As of December 31,
2021, principal amounts under the convertible notes payable was
$1,259,000, net of debt discount of $312,714.
Notes
Payable
The
Company has total notes payable including secured notes payable of
$1,194,083 classified as current portion and total notes payable –
long term portion of $261,776 at December 31, 2021.
Loans
Payable
The
Company has loans payable and accrued interest of $969,646 at
December 31, 2021.
Satisfaction
of Our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months
A
critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued
existence is to efficiently manage our retail operations and
successfully develop new lines through our Company or through
possible acquisitions and/or mergers as well as opening new retail
stores. Our ability to obtain capital through additional equity
and/or debt financing, and joint venture partnerships will also be
important to our expansion plans. In the event we experience any
significant problems assimilating acquired assets into our
operations or cannot obtain the necessary capital to pursue our
strategic plan, we may have to reduce the growth of our operations.
This may materially impact our ability to increase revenue and
continue our growth.
The
Company has suffered recurring losses and has an accumulated
deficit of approximately $14.5 million as of December 31, 2021. As
of December 31, 2021, the Company has $1,259,000 in principal
amounts of convertible notes, notes payable (current and long-term
portion) of $1,455,859 and $969,646 in loans payable. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern. The recoverability of a major portion of the
recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the
Company, which in turn, is dependent upon the Company’s ability to
raise capital and/or generate positive cash flows from
operations.
It is
our intention to establish Bergio as a holding company for the
purpose of establishing retails stores worldwide. Our branded
product lines are products and/or collections designed by our
designer and CEO Berge Abajian and will be the centerpiece of our
retail stores. We also intend to complement our own
quality-designed jewelry with other products and our own
specially-designed handbags. This is in line with our strategy and
belief that a brand name can create an association with innovation,
design and quality which helps add value to the individual products
as well as facilitate the introduction of new products. It is our
intention to open elegant stores in “high-end” areas and provide
excellent service in our stores which will be staffed with
knowledgeable professionals. The Company has also increased its
online presence to minimize the impact of having to close its
retail stores as well as directing efforts towards its wholesale
operations. The newly acquired majority owned subsidiaries,
Aphrodite’s Marketing and GearBubble Tech, of which Bergio owns 51%
will greatly enhance our online presence and provide the
opportunity for future growth.
These
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might
be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in
existence.
Research
and Development
We
are not anticipating significant research and development
expenditures in the near future.
Expected
Purchase or Sale of Plant and Significant Equipment
We do
not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant
equipment; as such items are not required by us at this
time.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
In preparing the financial statements and accounting for the
underlying transactions and balances, the Company applies its
accounting policies as disclosed in Note 3 of our Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company’s accounting
policies that require a higher degree of judgment and complexity
used in the preparation of financial statements include:
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 establishes a single comprehensive
model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from
contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing
revenue recognition guidance. This standard requires an entity to
recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or
services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures.
ASC 606 requires us to identify distinct performance
obligations. A performance obligation is a promise in a
contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the
customer. When distinct performance obligations exist, the
Company allocates the contract transaction price to each distinct
performance obligation. The standalone selling price, or our
best estimate of standalone selling price, is used to allocate the
transaction price to the separate performance obligations. The
Company recognizes revenue when, or as, the performance obligation
is satisfied.
Determining
whether products and services are considered distinct performance
obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together
may require significant judgment. Also, significant judgment
may be required to determine the allocation of transaction price to
each distinct performance obligation.
Generally,
revenues are recognized at the time of shipment to the customer
with the price being fixed and determinable and collectability
assured, provided title and risk of loss is transferred to the
customer. Provisions, when appropriate, are made where the right to
return exists. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are
classified as sales, and the shipping and handling costs incurred
are included in cost of sales.
The
Company’s subsidiary, GearBubble Tech, recognizes revenue from
three sources: (1) e-commerce revenue (2) platform
subscription fees and (3) partner and services
revenue.
|
● |
Revenues
are
recognized when the merchandise is shipped to the customer and
title is transferred and are recorded net of any returns, and
discounts or allowances. Shipping cost paid by
customers are primarily for ecommerce sales and are included in
revenue. Merchandise sales are fulfilled with inventory sourced
through our suppliers. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a
single performance obligation (shipment of
product). |
The
Company evaluates the criteria outlined in ASC
606-10-55, Principal versus Agent Considerations, in
determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of
merchandise sales and related costs or the net amount earned as
commissions. The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to
recognize revenue on a gross or net basis based upon its evaluation
of whether the Company obtains control of the specified goods by
considering if it is primarily responsible for fulfillment of the
promise, has inventory risk, and has the latitude in establishing
pricing and selecting suppliers, among other factors. The ecommerce
sellers have no further obligation to the customer after the
promised goods are transferred to the customer. Based on its
evaluation of these factors, we
have determined we are the principal in these arrangements. Through
our suppliers, we have the ability to control the promised
goods and as a result, the Company records ecommerce sales on a
gross basis.
The
Company refunds the full cost of the merchandise returned and all
original shipping charges if the returned item is defective or we
or our partners have made an error, such as shipping the wrong
product. If the return is not a result of a product defect or a
fulfillment error and the customer initiate a return of an unopened
item within 30 days of delivery, for most products we refund the
full cost of the merchandise minus the original shipping charge and
actual return shipping fees. If our customer returns an item that
has been opened or shows signs of wear, the Company issues a
partial refund minus the original shipping charge and actual return
shipping fees.
|
● |
The
Company generally recognizes platform subscription fees in the
month they are earned. Annual subscription payments received that
are related to future periods are recorded as deferred revenue to
be recognized as revenues over the contract term or
period. |
|
● |
Partner
and services revenue is derived from: (1) partner marketing and
promotion, and (2) non-recurring professional services.
Revenue from partner marketing and promotion and non-recurring
professional services is recognized as the service is
performed. |
Marketing
The
Company applies ASC 720 “Other Expenses” to account for marketing
costs. Pursuant to ASC 720-35-25-1, the Company expenses marketing
costs as incurred. Marketing costs include advertising and related
expenses for third party personnel engaged in marketing and selling
activities, including sales commissions. The Company directs its
customers to the Company’s ecommerce platform through social media,
digital marketing, and promotional campaigns. Marketing costs are
included in selling and marketing expenses on the consolidated
statement of operations.

ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair
value as 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. FASB ASC 820 requires
disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments,
whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes.
Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based
on pertinent information available to the Company on December 31,
2021. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these financial
statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could
be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. FASB ASC
820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether
the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or
unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from
independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market
assumptions. 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 are as follows:
Level
1: |
Inputs
are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities available at the measurement date.
|
|
|
Level
2: |
Inputs
are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in
active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and
liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or
corroborated by observable market data.
|
|
|
Level
3: |
Inputs
are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own
assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use
in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available
information. |
The
carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for
cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable
and accrued liabilities, and deferred compensation approximate
their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these
instruments.
Derivative
Liabilities
The
Company has certain financial instruments that are embedded
derivatives associated with capital raises and acquisition (see
Note 13). The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to
determine if those contracts or any potential embedded components
of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately
accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-10 – Derivative and
Hedging – Contract in Entity’s Own Equity. This accounting
treatment requires that the carrying amount of any derivatives be
recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each
balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as
a liability, as is the case with the Company, the change in the
fair value during the period is recorded as either other income or
expense. Upon conversion, exercise or repayment, the respective
derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion,
repayment, or exercise date and then the related fair value amount
is reclassified to other income or expense as part of gain or loss
on debt extinguishment.
In
July 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic
260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480);
Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for
Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features. These
amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial
instruments with down-round features. The amendments require
companies to disregard the down-round feature when assessing
whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of
determining liability or equity classification. For public business
entities, the amendments in Part I of the ASU are effective for
fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning after December 15, 2018.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
The
Company is not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that may
affect its financial position or its results of
operations.
Recently
Adopted Authoritative Pronouncements
Other
accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that
do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to
have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements
upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements
that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to
its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or
disclosures.
No
other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected
to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements.

Item
9A. Controls and Procedures
a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the reports we file
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the
SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial
Officer (“PFO”), to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and
procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures,
no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide a
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives,
and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management
necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Management designed the disclosure controls and procedures to
provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives.
We
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our PEO and PFO, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
Annual Report. Based upon that evaluation, the PEO and PFO
concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective.
b)
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). A system of internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of management, including
the principal executive officer and the principal financial
officer, the Company’s management has evaluated the effectiveness
of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2021, based on the criteria established in a report entitled
“Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission” and the
interpretive guidance issued by the Commission in Release No.
34-55929. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management has
evaluated and concluded that the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2021, and
identified the following material weaknesses:
|
● |
there
is a lack of accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge of
GAAP and the financial reporting requirements of the
SEC. |
|
● |
there
are insufficient written policies and procedures to insure the
correct application of accounting and financial reporting with
respect to the current requirements of GAAP and SEC disclosure
requirements. |
|
● |
there
is a lack of segregation of duties, in that we only had one person
performing all accounting-related duties. |
Notwithstanding
the existence of these material weaknesses in our internal control
over financial reporting, our management believes that the
financial statements included in its reports fairly present in all
material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The
Company will continue its assessment on a quarterly basis. We plan
to hire personnel and resources to address these material
weaknesses. We believe these issues can be solved with hiring
accounting support and plan to do so as soon as we have funds
available for this.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding
internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s
registered public accounting firm was not required to issue an
attestation on its internal controls over financial reporting
pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company will continue to evaluate the
effectiveness of internal controls and procedures on an on-going
basis.
c)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal controls over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act) during the year ended December
31, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Item
9B. Other Information.
Not
applicable.
Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent
Inspections.

PART III
Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant and
Corporate Governance
Directors and Executive Officers
The following table and text sets forth the names and ages of all
our directors and executive officers and our key management
personnel as of March 25, 2022. All of our directors serve until
the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors
are elected and qualified, or until their earlier death,
retirement, resignation or removal. Executive officers serve at the
discretion of the Board, and are elected or appointed to serve
until the next meeting of the Board following the annual meeting of
stockholders. Also provided is a brief description of the business
experience of each director and executive officer and the key
management personnel during the past five years and an indication
of directorships held by each director in other companies subject
to the reporting requirements under the Federal securities
laws.

Berge
Abajian (62) |

Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman |
|
2007 |
Background of Directors and Officers
Berge Abajian became the Chief Executive Officer of
Bergio International in October 2009. Prior to that, Mr. Abajian
served as CEO of the Diamond Information Institute, the predecessor
company to Bergio, from 1988 to October 2009. Mr. Abajian has a BS
in Business Administration from Fairleigh Dickinson University and
is well known and respected in the jewelry industry. Since 2005,
Mr. Abajian has served as the President of the East Coast branch of
the Armenian Jewelry Association and has also served as a Board
Member on MJSA (Manufacturing Jewelers and Suppliers of America),
New York Jewelry Association, and the 2001-2002 Luxury Show.
Term of Office
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office
until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until
removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are
appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed
by the board, except to the extent governed by an employment
agreement.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of
the following occurred with respect to our present or former
director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy
petition filed by or against any business of which such person was
a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the
bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any
conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor
offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not
subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of
competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining,
barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in
any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4)
being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil
action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to
have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and
the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
Meetings of Our Board of Directors
Our Board did not hold any meetings during the most recently
completed fiscal year end. Various matters were approved by written
consent, which in each case was executed by the Board.
Committees of the Board
We do not currently have a compensation committee, nominating
committee, or stock plan committee.
Audit Committee
We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee.
The entire Board performs the functions of an audit committee, but
no written charter governs the actions of the Board when performing
the functions of what would generally be performed by an audit
committee. The Board approves the selection of our independent
accountants and meets and interacts with the independent
accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In
addition, the Board reviews the scope and results of the audit with
the independent accountants, reviews with management and the
independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the
adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other
auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the
independent auditor and the performance of the independent
auditor.
Nominating Committee
Our Board does not maintain a nominating committee. As a result, no
written charter governs the director nomination process. Our size
and the size of our Board, at this time, do not require a separate
nominating committee.
When evaluating director nominees, our directors consider the
following factors:
|
● |
the appropriate size
of our board of directors; |
|
● |
our needs with respect
to the particular talents and experience of our
directors; |
|
● |
the knowledge, skills
and experience of nominees, including experience in finance,
administration or public service, in light of prevailing business
conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already
possessed by other members of the Board; |
|
● |
experience in
political affairs; |
|
● |
experience with
accounting rules and practices; and |
|
● |
the desire to balance
the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh
perspective provided by new Board members. |
Our goal is to assemble a Board that brings together a variety of
perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and
professional experience.
Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for
director nominees, although the Board may also consider such other
factors as it may deem are in our best interests as well as our
stockholders. In addition, the Board identifies nominees by first
evaluating the current members of the Board willing to continue in
service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience
that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue
in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of the
Board does not wish to continue in service or if the Board decides
not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Board then
identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in
light of the criteria above. Current members of the Board are
polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria
described above. The Board may also engage in research to identify
qualified individuals. To date, we have not engaged third parties
to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential
nominees, although we reserve the right in the future to retain a
third party search firm, if necessary.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors,
executive officers and persons who beneficially own 10% or more of
a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange
Act to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in
beneficial ownership with the SEC. Directors, executive officers
and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the rules and
regulations of the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all
reports filed by them in compliance with Section 16(a).
Based solely on our review of certain reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the reports required
to be filed with respect to transactions in our common stock during
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, were timely.
Code of Ethics
We do not currently have a code of ethics that applies to our Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting
Officer or Controller, or persons performing similar functions.
Because we have only limited business operations and four
officers and directors, we believe a code of ethics would have
limited utility. We intend to adopt such a code of ethics as our
business operations expand and we have more directors, officers and
employees.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
Overview
The following is a discussion of our program for compensating our
named executive officers and directors. Currently, we do not have a
compensation committee, and as such, our board of directors is
responsible for determining the compensation of our named executive
officers.
Compensation Program Objectives and Philosophy
The primary goals of our policy of executive compensation are to
attract and retain the most talented and dedicated executives
possible, to assure that our executives are compensated effectively
in a manner consistent with our strategy and competitive practice
and to align executive compensation with the achievement of our
short- and long-term business objectives.
The Board considers a variety of factors in determining
compensation of executives, including their particular background
and circumstances, such as their training and prior relevant work
experience, their success in attracting and retaining savvy and
technically proficient managers and employees, increasing our
revenues, broadening our product line offerings, managing our costs
and otherwise helping to lead our Company through a period of rapid
growth.
In the near future, we expect that our Board will form a
compensation committee charged with the oversight of executive
compensation plans, policies and programs of our Company and with
the full authority to determine and approve the compensation of our
chief executive officer and make recommendations with respect to
the compensation of our other executive officers. We expect that
our compensation committee will continue to follow the general
approach to executive compensation that we have followed to date,
rewarding superior individual and company performance with
commensurate compensation.
Employment Agreements
Effective February 28, 2010, the Company entered into an employment
agreement with its CEO. The agreement, which is for a five-year
term, provided for an initial base salary of $175,000 per year with
a 3% annual increase thereafter (the “Base Salary”). The CEO is
also entitled to certain bonuses based on net profits before taxes
and other customary benefits, as defined in the agreement. In
addition, since it is understood that the Company is employing the
CEO during a time of economic decline throughout the U.S. and at
times and from time to time, the Company may not be in a position
to pay the full amount of Base Salary owed the CEO it is understood
and agreed to by the Board, that as long as the Company is unable
to pay the CEO the full amount of his Base Salary that the Board
shall issue to him, from time to time, an amount of shares that
will allow him to remain in possession of fifty-one percent (51%)
of the Company’s then outstanding shares of common stock.
Such issuances shall be made to the CEO at any time when his
total share holdings are reduced to an amount less than fifty-one
percent (51%) as a result of issuance of shares of common stock
made on behalf of the Company. Effective September 1, 2011, the
Company authorized and issued 51 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
to the Company’s CEO. Additionally, during the year ended December
31, 2021, the Company authorized and issued an additional 24 shares
of Series A Preferred Stock to the Company’s CEO in connection with
the amended and restated certificate of designation for the
Company’s Series A Preferred Stock.
Effective September 1, 2011, the Company and CEO entered into an
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”)
which primarily retains the term and compensation of the original
agreement. The Amended Agreement, however, removes the section
which previously provided for the issuance of Company common stock
to the CEO, from time to time, when the Company is unable to pay
the CEO the full amount of his Base Salary (as defined in the
Amended Agreement) which would allow the CEO to maintain a
fifty-one percent (51%) share of the Company’s outstanding common
stock. However, the CEO does have the right to request all or
a portion of his unpaid Base Salary be paid with the Company’s
restricted common stock. In addition, the Amended Agreement
provided for the issuance of 51 shares of newly authorized Series A
Preferred Stock to be issued to the CEO. As defined in the
Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A
Preferred Stock, each share of Series A Preferred Stock has voting
rights such that the holder of 51 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock will effectively maintain majority voting control of the
Company. Effective November 3, 2011, the CEO notified the Company
that for the one year period, retroactive from April 1, 2011,
through December 31, 2012, he would reduce his Base Salary to
$100,000. The reduction in base compensation was subsequently
extended to December 31, 2013. The CEO deferred his salary to
conserve cash. Deferred wages due to the CEO amounted to $346,163
and $445,571 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31,
2020, respectively. This amount was reduced to $500,000 after the
CEO converted $500,000 of deferred compensation into 17,000,000
shares of common stock of the Company. The CEO in December 2020
returned these shares to the Company. As of December 31, 2021 and
2020, $0 and $320,172, respectively, of these amounts were
classified as a long-term liability.
On July 1, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated
Executive Employment Agreement (“Amended Employment Agreement”)
with the CEO of the Company, Berge Abajian (the “Executive”). The
term of the Amended Employment Agreement shall be for 5 years and
shall be automatically extended for successive periods of 1 year
unless terminated by the Company or the Executive. The Executive
shall receive a base salary of $250,000 per year and such base
salary shall automatically increase in a rate of 3% per annum for
each consecutive year after 2021 or at such rates as may be
approved by the board of directors of the Company. Upon written
request of the Executive, the Company shall pay all or a portion of
the base salary owed to Executive in the form of i) a convertible
promissory note, or ii) the Company’s common stock or if available,
S-8 common stock. Additionally, the Executive is eligible to
receive quarterly bonus at the discretion of the board of directors
of the Company. Additionally, the Executive shall be eligible to
participate in the Company’s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan.
On July 9, 2021, and under the terms of the ESOP, the Company’s
Board of Directors approved the future issuance of 500,000,000
shares of our Common Stock to our CEO, Berge Abajian, subject to
the Company increasing its total authorized shares of common stock
to 6,000,000,000 which was increased in July 2021 and subject to
the effectiveness of an S-8 Registration Statement covering these
shares with the SEC. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not
met the prerequisite related to the effectiveness of an S-8
Registration Statement. As such we deemed that these shares have
not been legally issued and the measurement date has not been met
and therefore will be recognized until an S-8 Registration
Statement becomes effective.
Retirement Benefits
Currently, we do not provide any Company sponsored retirement
benefits to any employee, including the named executive
officers.
Perquisites
We have historically provided only modest perquisites to our named
executive officers. We do not view perquisites as a significant
element of our compensation structure, but do believe that
perquisites can be useful in attracting, motivating and retaining
the executive talent for which we compete. It is expected that our
historical practices regarding perquisites will continue and will
be subject to periodic review by our by our board of directors.
Summary Compensation Table
The following table presents information regarding compensation of
our principal executive officer, and the two most highly
compensated executive officers other than the principal executive
officer for services rendered during years ended 2021 and 2020,

terms of the Amended Agreement, but lowers the compensation to
$100,000 for the year. Effective July 1, 2019, the Principal
Executive Officer agreed to stop deferral of his salary at least
through December 31, 2019 as a result of the financial situation of
the Company. The CEO deferred his salary until July 2021. |
On July 1, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated
Executive Employment Agreement with the CEO of the Company, Berge
Abajian (the “Executive”). The term of the Amended Employment
Agreement shall be for 5 years and shall be automatically extended
for successive periods of 1 year unless terminated by the Company
or the Executive. The Executive shall receive a base salary of
$250,000 per year and such base salary shall automatically increase
in a rate of 3% per annum for each consecutive year after 2021 or
at such rates as may be approved by the board of directors of the
Company.

Incentive Stock and Award Plan
On May 9, 2011, the Company’s Board approved, authorized and
adopted the 2011 Incentive Stock and Award Plan (the “Plan”). The
Plan was amended on October 11, 2012. Subject to adjustment
for mergers, reorganizations, consolidation, recapitalization,
stock dividend or other change in corporate structure, a total of
35,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share is
subject to the Plan. Under the Plan, the Company may grant
non-qualified options (the “Non-qualified Options”), incentive
options (the “Incentive Options” and together with the
Non-qualified Options, the “Options”) and restricted stock (the
“Restricted Stock”) to directors, officers, consultants, attorneys,
advisors and employees. Subject to a tax exception, if any Option
or Restricted Stock expires or is canceled prior to its exercise or
vesting in full, the shares of common stock issuable under the
Option or Restricted Stock may be issuable pursuant to future
Options or Restricted Stock under the Plan.
The Plan shall be administered by a committee consisting of one (1)
director (the “Committee”). In the absence of such a
Committee, the Company’s Board shall administer the Plan.
Each Option shall contain the following material terms:
(i) the exercise price, which shall be determined by the Committee
at the time of grant, shall not be less than 100% of the Fair
Market Value (defined as the closing price on the final trading day
immediately prior to the grant on the principal exchange or
quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted, as
applicable) of the Common Stock of the Company on the date the
Option is granted, provided that if the recipient of the
Option owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined
voting power of the Company, the exercise price shall be at least
110% of the Fair Market Value;
(ii) the term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee,
provided that such Option shall not be exercisable more than
ten (10) years after the date such Option is granted, and
provided further that with respect to an Incentive Option,
if the recipient owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total
combined voting power of the Company, the Incentive Stock Option
shall not be exercisable more than five (5) years after the date
such Incentive Option is granted;
(iii) subject to acceleration in the event of a Change of Control
of the Company (as further described in the Plan), the period
during which the Options vest shall be designated by the Committee
or, in the absence of any Option vesting periods designated by the
Committee at the time of grant, shall vest and become exercisable
in equal amounts on each fiscal year of the Company through the
five (5) year anniversary of the date on which the Option was
granted;
(iv) no Option is transferable and each is exercisable only by the
recipient of such Option except in the event of the death of the
recipient; and
(v) with respect to Incentive Stock Options, the aggregate Fair
Market Value of Common Stock that may be issued for the first time
during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.
Each award of Restricted Stock is subject to the following material
terms:
(i) no rights to an award of Restricted Stock is granted to the
intended recipient of Restricted Stock unless and until the grant
of Restricted Stock is accepted within the period prescribed by the
Committee;
(ii) Restricted Stock shall not be delivered until they are free of
any restrictions specified by the Committee at the time of
grant;
(iii) shares of Restricted Stock are forfeitable until the terms of
the Restricted Stock grant have been satisfied; and
(iv) the Restricted Stock are not transferable until the date on
which the Committee has specified such restrictions have
lapsed.
2021 Incentive Stock and Award Plan
On July 9, 2021, the board of directors of the Company adopted the
Bergio International, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “ESOP”),
under which the Company may award shares of the Company’s Common
Stock to employees of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. The
terms of the ESOP allow the Company’s Board of Directors discretion
to award the Company’s Common Stock, in the form of options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock
units, and performance award shares, to such employees, upon
meeting the criteria set forth therein, from time to time. Subject
to adjustments as provided in the plan, the shares of
common stock that may be issued with respect to awards granted
under the plan shall not exceed an aggregate of 1,000,000,000

the Company extending payments in the amount of $1,000,000 due him
until January 31, 2020 as a result of the financial situation of
the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the principal

common stock of the Company. As of December 31, 2020, deferred
compensation of $320,172 and $179,828 of the advances, totaling
$500,000, was classified as a long-term liability. At December 31,
2021, deferred compensation due to CEO amounted to $346,163 and

31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. No terms for repayment have been
established.
Director Independence
The common stock of the Company is currently quoted on the OTC
Markets, a quotation system which currently does not have director
independence requirements. On an annual basis, each director
and executive officer will be obligated to disclose any
transactions with the Company in which a director or executive
officer, or any member of his or her immediate family, have a
direct or indirect material interest in accordance with Item 407(a)
of Regulation S-K. Following completion of these disclosures, the
Board will make an annual determination as to the independence of
each director using the current standards for “independence” that
satisfy the criteria for the NASDAQ.
At this time, the Company does not have any independent
directors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Bergio
International, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Bergio International, Inc. as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the
related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit),
and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes
(collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our
opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
2021 and 2020, 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.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in
Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant
operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be
independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error
or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current-period
audit of the financial statements that were communicated or
required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1)
relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the
financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no
critical audit matters.

BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Nature of Operations
Bergio International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the
State of Delaware on July 24, 2007 under the name Alba Mineral
Exploration, Inc. On October 21, 2009, as a result of a Share
Exchange Agreement, the corporation’s name was changed to Bergio
International, Inc. On February 19, 2020, the Company changed its
state of incorporation to Wyoming. The Company is engaged in the
product design, manufacturing, distribution of fine jewelry
primarily in the United States and is headquartered in Fairfield,
New Jersey. The Company’s intent is to take advantage of the Bergio
brand and establish a chain of retail stores worldwide. The
Company’s branded product lines are products and/or collections
designed by the Company’s designer and CEO, Berge Abajian, and will
be the centerpiece of the Company’s retail stores.
On February 10, 2021, the Company entered into an Acquisition
Agreement (“Acquisition Agreement”) with Digital Age Business,
Inc., a Florida corporation, (“Digital Age Business”), pursuant to
which the shareholders of Digital Age Business agreed to sell all
of the assets and liabilities of its Aphrodite’s business to a
recently formed Company known as Aphrodite’s Marketing, Inc.
(“Aphrodite’s Marketing”), a Wyoming corporation in exchange for
newly created Series B Preferred Stock of the Company. The Company
owns 51% of Aphrodite’s Marketing (see Note 13).
On July 1, 2021 (“Closing”), the Company entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with GearBubble, Inc.,
a Nevada corporation, (“GearBubble”), pursuant to which the
shareholders of GearBubble (the “Equity Recipients”) agreed to sell
100% of the issued and outstanding shares of GearBubble to a
recently formed subsidiary of the Company known as GearBubble Tech,
Inc. (“GearBubble Tech”), a Wyoming corporation in exchange for
$3,162,000 (the “Cash Purchase Price”), which shall be paid as
follows: a) $2,000,000 (which was paid in cash at Closing), b)
$1,162,000 to be paid in 15 equal installments, and c) 49,000 of
the 100,000 authorized shares of the Merger Sub, such that upon the
Closing, 51% of the Merger Sub shall be owned by the Company, and
49% of the Merger Sub shall be owned by the GearBubble
Shareholders. The Company owns 51% of GearBubble Tech (see Note
13).
On March 24, 2021, the Company filed, with the Wyoming Secretary of
State, a Certificate of Amendment, to amend its Articles of
Incorporation. The amendment reflected the increase in the
authorized shares of common stock from 1,000,000,000 shares to
3,000,000,000 shares. On July 9, 2021, the Company filed, with the
Wyoming Secretary of State, a Certificate of Amendment, to amend
its Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”). The Amendment
reflected the increase in the authorized shares of common stock
from 3,000,000,000 shares to 6,000,000,000 shares.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”),
the instructions to Form 10-K, and the rules and regulations of the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for
financial information, which includes the consolidated financial
statements of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2021. All intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated. It is management’s opinion that
all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) have been made, which are necessary for a fair
financial statement presentation.
Impact of the COVID-19 Coronavirus
The Company’s operations have been affected by the recent and
ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which
in March 2020, was declared a pandemic by the World Health
Organization. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the
outbreak is uncertain; however, it has resulted in a material
adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations and
cash flows. Areas affected include, but are not limited to,
disruption to the Company’s customers and revenue, including a
significant disruption in consumer demand and accessories, labor
workforce, inability of customers to pay outstanding accounts
receivable due and owing to the Company as they limit or shut down
their businesses, customers seeking relief or extended payment
plans relating to accounts receivable due and owing to the Company,
unavailability of products and supplies used in operations, and the
decline in value of assets held by the Company, including property
and equipment. As such, the comparability of the Company’s
operating results has been affected by significant adverse impacts
related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Company has increased its online presence to minimize the
impact of having to close its retail stores as well as directing
efforts towards its wholesale operations. The Company increase its
online presence through its majority-owned subsidiaries,
Aphrodite’s Marketing and GearBubble Tech.
Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial
Statements
In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 810-10-65, “Non-controlling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). This ASC
clarifies that a non-controlling (minority) interest in a
subsidiary is an ownership interest in the entity that should be
reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It
also requires consolidated net income to include the amounts
attributable to both the parent and non-controlling interest, with
disclosure on the face of the consolidated income statement of the
amounts attributed to the parent and to the non-controlling
interest. In accordance with ASC 810-10- 45-21, those losses
attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest in
subsidiaries may exceed their interests in the subsidiary’s equity.
The excess and any further losses attributable to the parent and
the non-controlling interest shall be attributed to those interests
even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling
interest balance.
BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
On February 9, 2021, the Company entered into an Acquisition
Agreement which resulted to the acquisition of 51% interest in
Aphrodite’s Marketing. Additionally, on July 1, 2021, the Company
entered into a Merger Agreement with GearBubble which resulted to
the acquisition of 51% interest in the Merger Sub, GearBubble Tech.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a non-controlling
interest balance of $(557,472) in connection with the
majority-owned subsidiaries, Aphrodite’s Marketing and GearBubble
Tech as reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
and losses attributable to non-controlling interest of $923,629 and
$0 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively
as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.
Note 2 - Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets
and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal
course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements, the Company had a net loss attributable to
Bergio International, Inc. and cash used in operations of
$2,638,556 and $2,179,237, respectively, for the year ended
December 31, 2021. Additionally, the Company had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $14.5 million and working
capital deficit of $2,363,877 at December 31, 2021. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance
date of this report. Management cannot provide assurance that the
Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become
cash flow positive or raise additional capital pursuant to debt or
equity financings. The Company may seek to raise additional capital
through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund its
operations in the future; however, no assurance can be provided
that the Company will be able to raise additional capital on
favorable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise
additional capital or secure additional lending in the future to
fund its business plan, the Company may need to curtail or cease
its operations. As noted in Note 15, between January 2022 and March
2022, the Company has received net proceeds of $815,000 from the
sale of Series D convertible preferred stock.
It is our intention to establish the Company as a holding company
for the purpose of establishing retails stores worldwide. The
Company’s branded product lines are products and/or collections
designed by the Company’s designer and CEO, Berge Abajian, and will
be the centerpiece of the Company’s retail stores. The Company also
intend to complement its own quality-designed jewelry with other
products and the Company’s specially designed handbags. This is in
line with the Company’s strategy and belief that a brand name can
create an association with innovation, design and quality which
helps add value to the individual products as well as facilitate
the introduction of new products. It is the Company’s intention to
open elegant stores in “high-end” areas and provide excellent
service in our stores which will be staffed with knowledgeable
professionals.
The Company has also increased its online presence and provide for
the expansion of the Company’s branded product lines. The newly
acquire majority owned subsidiaries, Aphrodite Marketing and
GearBubble Tech of which the Company owns 51%, will greatly enhance
the Company’s online presence and provide the opportunity for
future growth. However, there can be no assurance that this venture
will be successful or that the Company can raise the required
capital to fund this operation.
These consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of
recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States which includes the Company, its
wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries as of December 31,
2021. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity
with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates
requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at
least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a
condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the
date of the financial statements, which management considered in
formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one
or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ
significantly from estimates. Significant estimates during the
years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 include the estimates of
useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets,
valuation of the operating lease liability and related right-of-use
asset, valuation of derivatives, valuation of beneficial conversion
features on convertible debt, allowance for uncollectable
receivables, valuation of equity based instruments issued for other
than cash, the fair value of warrants issued with debt, the
valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and stock-based
compensation.
BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
Revenue Recognition
The Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 establishes a single comprehensive
model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from
contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing
revenue recognition guidance. This standard requires an entity to
recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or
services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures.
ASC 606 requires us to identify distinct performance
obligations. A performance obligation is a promise in a
contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the
customer. When distinct performance obligations exist, the
Company allocates the contract transaction price to each distinct
performance obligation. The standalone selling price, or our
best estimate of standalone selling price, is used to allocate the
transaction price to the separate performance obligations. The
Company recognizes revenue when, or as, the performance obligation
is satisfied.
Determining whether products and services are considered distinct
performance obligations that should be accounted for separately
versus together may require significant judgment. Also,
significant judgment may be required to determine the allocation of
transaction price to each distinct performance obligation.
Generally, revenues are recognized at the time of shipment to the
customer with the price being fixed and determinable and
collectability assured, provided title and risk of loss is
transferred to the customer. Provisions, when appropriate, are made
where the right to return exists. Shipping and handling costs
charged to customers are classified as sales, and the shipping and
handling costs incurred are included in cost of sales.
The Company’s subsidiary, GearBubble Tech, recognizes revenue from
three sources: (1) e-commerce revenue (2) platform
subscription fees and (3) partner and services revenue.
● Revenues are
recognized when the merchandise is shipped to the customer and
title is transferred and are recorded net of any returns, and
discounts or allowances. Shipping cost paid by customers are
primarily for ecommerce sales and are included in revenue.
Merchandise sales are fulfilled with inventory sourced through our
suppliers. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single
performance obligation (shipment of product).
The Company evaluates the criteria outlined in ASC
606-10-55, Principal versus Agent Considerations, in
determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of
merchandise sales and related costs or the net amount earned as
commissions. The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to
recognize revenue on a gross or net basis based upon its evaluation
of whether the Company obtains control of the specified goods by
considering if it is primarily responsible for fulfillment of the
promise, has inventory risk, and has the latitude in establishing
pricing and selecting suppliers, among other factors. The ecommerce
sellers have no further obligation to the customer after the
promised goods are transferred to the customer. Based on its
evaluation of these factors, we have determined we are the
principal in these arrangements. Through our suppliers, we have the
ability to control the promised goods and as a result, the Company
records ecommerce sales on a gross basis.
The Company refunds the full cost of the merchandise returned and
all original shipping charges if the returned item is defective or
we or our partners have made an error, such as shipping the wrong
product. If the return is not a result of a product defect or a
fulfillment error and the customer initiate a return of an unopened
item within 30 days of delivery, for most products we refund the
full cost of the merchandise minus the original shipping charge and
actual return shipping fees. If our customer returns an item that
has been opened or shows signs of wear, the Company issues a
partial refund minus the original shipping charge and actual return
shipping fees.
● The Company generally
recognizes platform subscription fees in the month they are earned.
Annual subscription payments received that are related to future
periods are recorded as deferred revenue to be recognized as
revenues over the contract term or period.
● Partner and services
revenue is derived from: (1) partner marketing and promotion, and
(2) non-recurring professional services. Revenue from partner
marketing and promotion and non-recurring professional services is
recognized as the service is performed.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of the cost of the merchandise,
shipping fees, credit card processing services, fulfillment cost,
ecommerce sellers’ pay-out; costs associated with operation and
maintenance of the Company’s platform.
Marketing
The Company applies ASC 720 “Other Expenses” to account for
marketing costs. Pursuant to ASC 720-35-25-1, the Company expenses
marketing costs as incurred. Marketing costs include advertising
and related expenses for third party personnel engaged in marketing
and selling activities, including sales commissions. The Company
directs its customers to the Company’s ecommerce platform through
social media, digital marketing, and promotional campaigns.
Marketing costs were $4,091,542 and $34,094 for the years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020, are included in selling and marketing
expenses on the consolidated statement of operations.
BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company accounts for shipping and handling fees in accordance
with ASC 606. While amounts charged to customers for shipping
products are included in revenues, the related costs of shipping
products to customers are classified in selling and marketing
expenses as incurred.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the current period presentation. The reclassified amounts have no
impact on the Company’s previously reported financial position or
results of operations and relates to the presentation of selling
and marketing expenses, professional and consulting expenses,
compensation and related expenses, separately on the consolidated
statements of operation previously included in the selling, general
and administrative expenses.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines
fair value as 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. FASB ASC 820 requires
disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments,
whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes.
Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based
on pertinent information available to the Company on December 31,
2021. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these financial
statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could
be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. FASB ASC
820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether
the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or
unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from
independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market
assumptions. 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 are as follows:
|
Level
1: |
Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
|
|
Level
2: |
Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active,
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs
derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
|
|
Level
3: |
Inputs
are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own
assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use
in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available
information. |
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets
for cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities, and deferred compensation
approximate their fair market value based on the short-term
maturity of these instruments.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13,” Changes to Disclosure
Requirements for Fair Value Measurements”, which will improve the
effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and
nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes,
modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Upon adoption, this
guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
Assets or liabilities measured at fair value or a recurring basis
included embedded conversion options in convertible debt and
convertible preferred stock and were as follows at December 31,
2021:

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily
choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair
value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on
an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new
election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an
instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should
be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The
Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any
outstanding equity instruments.
BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highly liquid instruments
with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company
did not have any cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2021 and
December 31, 2020. The Company places its cash with high credit
quality financial institutions. The Company’s accounts at these
institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. To reduce its risk associated
with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company
evaluates, at least annually, the rating of the financial
institutions in which it holds deposits. At December 31, 2021 and
2020, the Company had cash in excess of FDIC limits of
approximately $165,000, and $0, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers
and adjusts credit limits based on customer payment and current
credit worthiness, as determined by review of their current credit
information. The Company continuously monitors credit limits for
and payments from its customers and maintains provision for
estimated credit losses based on its historical experience and any
specific customer issues that have been identified. While such
credit losses have historically been within the Company’s
expectation and the provision established, the Company cannot
guarantee that this will continue.
An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided against accounts
receivable for amounts management believes may be uncollectible.
The Company determines the adequacy of this allowance by regularly
reviewing the composition of its accounts receivable aging and
evaluating individual customer receivables, considering the
customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic
circumstance. While credit losses have historically been within the
Company’s expectation and the provision established, the Company
cannot guarantee that this will continue. As of December 31, 2021
and 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 for both
periods.
Inventory
Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and are stated at
the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted
average method, and average cost is recomputed after each inventory
purchase or sale. Inventories are written down if the estimated net
realizable value is less than the recorded value, if
appropriate.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of
its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
future, undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an
asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment
to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets
to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount
or fair value less costs to sell. No impairment losses were
recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Property and equipment
Property is carried at cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is
expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are
capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any
resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of
disposition. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful life of the assets, generally three to
five years.
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements
of ASC 718 – “Compensation–Stock Compensation”, which requires
recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee,
non-employee and director services received in exchange for an
award of equity instruments over the period the employee or
director is required to perform the services in exchange for the
award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires
measurement of the cost of employee and director services received
in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the
award.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company has certain financial instruments that are embedded
derivatives associated with capital raises and acquisition (see
Note 13). The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to
determine if those contracts or any potential embedded components
of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately
accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-10 – Derivative and
Hedging – Contract in Entity’s Own Equity. This accounting
treatment requires that the carrying amount of any derivatives be
recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each
balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as
a liability, as is the case with the Company, the change in the
fair value during the period is recorded as either other income or
expense. Upon conversion, exercise or repayment, the respective
derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion,
repayment, or exercise date and then the related fair value amount
is reclassified to other income or expense as part of gain or loss
on debt extinguishment.
BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
In July 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share
(Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480);
Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for
Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features. These
amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial
instruments with down-round features. The amendments require
companies to disregard the down-round feature when assessing
whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of
determining liability or equity classification. For public business
entities, the amendments in Part I of the ASU are effective for
fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning after December 15, 2018.
Concentration Risk
Concentration of
Revenues
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, no customer
accounted for over 10% of total revenues.
Concentration of
Purchases
The Company purchased approximately 25% of its finished products
from two vendors (11% and 14%) during the year ended December 31,
2021.
Concentration of
Accounts Receivable
As of December 31, 202, accounts receivable amounted to $51,324 and
two customers represented 75% of this balance. As of December 31,
2020, accounts receivable amounted to $100,255 and three customers
represented 89% of this balance.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by
FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not
expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent
pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are
unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash
flows or disclosures.

Note 5 - Net Loss per Share
Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted loss
per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and
potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.
Potentially dilutive common shares consist of common stock issuable
for stock options and stock warrants (using the treasury stock
method), convertible notes and common stock issuable. These common
stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future.
BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
For the year ended December 31, 2020, 92,755,675 shares issuable
upon the exercise of warrants and conversion of convertible debt

promissory note in the amount of $125,000 with Auctus Fund, LLC.
The principal and accrued interest was payable on or before August

Interest was computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed. Any amount of principal or interest on this
note which was not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of
the lesser of (i) twenty-four percent (24%) per annum and (ii) the
maximum amount permitted under law from the due date thereof until
the same was paid (the “Default Interest”). The Holder had the
right from time to time to convert all or any part of the
outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, penalties, and all
other amounts under this note into fully paid and non-assessable
shares of common stock.
The conversion price was equal to the lesser of: (i) the lowest
trading price during the previous twenty-five (25) trading day
period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the date
of this Note, and (ii) the variable conversion which shall mean 60%
multiplied by the lowest trading price for the common stock during
the twenty-five (25) trading day period ending on the latest
complete trading day prior to the conversion date. Furthermore, the
conversion price may be adjusted downward if, within three (3)
business days of the transmittal of the notice of conversion to the
Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent, the Common Stock had a
closing bid which is 5% or lower than that set forth in the Notice
of Conversion.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, principal of $91,399 and
$6,512 of accrued interest were fully converted into 25,642,684,

annum from the due date thereof until the same was paid. At the
option of the Holder, but not before 180 days from the date of
issuance, the holder may elect to convert all or part of the
convertible into the Company’s common stock. The conversion price
was 63% multiplied by the lowest trading price (representing a

liabilities amounted $978,232 (consist of derivative liability from

On October 17, 2014, the Company entered into a financing
arrangement with Iliad to provide additional financing in the
amount of up to $450,000 through the issuance of a Secured
Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”). The Company agreed to
cover Iliad’s legal, accounting and other related fees in the
amount of $5,000, which was included in the principal balance of
the Note. The Note accrued interest at the rate of 8% per annum

the remaining balance of $350,000 in seven tranches of $50,000
each. The Company drew down the initial tranche on October 17,

continued to negotiate with the lender.
Beginning nine months after October 17, 2014 and on the same day
each month thereafter, the Company was to make an installment
payment, based upon the unpaid balance. At the option of the
Company, payments may be made in cash or by converting the
installment amount into shares of the Company’s common stock. The
conversion price was equal to the lesser of (i) $0.0005 per share
and (ii) 67.5% of the average of the three lowest closing bid
prices in the 15 trading days immediately preceding the conversion.
The Company had the right to prepay the Note at 135% of the
outstanding balance at the time of prepayment.

Agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company and Iliad
agreed to settle approximately $474,000 of convertible debt and
accrued interest for a total of $300,000 in a note to be paid in
monthly installments of $50,000 beginning September 1, 2020.

convertible into the Company’s common stock. The note was
convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price
equal to 60% of the average of the three lowest trading prices
during the 10 days prior to the date of conversion or $0.00009,

PPP Loan
On March 27, 2020, the Company received federal
funding through the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”)
for the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (the “CARES
Act”), administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration
(“SBA”). The Company determined that it met the criteria to be
eligible to obtain a loan under the PPP because, among other
reasons, in light of the COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainty of
economic conditions related thereto, the loan was considered
necessary to support the Company’s ongoing operations and retain
all its employees. On April 17, 2020, the Company issued a
promissory note to Columbia Bank in the principal aggregate amount
of $18,608 (the “PPP Loan”). On September 5, 2020 the Paycheck
Protection Program Flexibility Act was signed into law and extended
the program until December 31, 2020.
Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for
and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loan granted
under the program. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to
limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of
payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and
utilities. No assurance is provided that the Company will obtain
forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part. The PPP Loan had a
two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 0.98% per annum.
Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for nine
months after the date of disbursement. The PPP Loan may be prepaid
at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Based
on the September 5, 2020 the Paycheck Protection Program
Flexibility Act, certain changes will need to be made to the
original note, based on the new law. As of December 31, 2020, the
PPP Loan was forgiven by the SBA.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received
another PPP Loan in the amount of $18,291 under similar terms as
the first loan. On February 17, 2021, the SBA authorized
forgiveness of the outstanding principal balance of $18,291 and all
accrued interest payable of the Company’s PPP loan. During the
years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized
forgiveness of PPP Loan of $18,291 and $18,608, respectively, as
reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

act as a financial advisor and investment banker of the Company,

following schedule: i) 16,021,937 shares of common stock upon
execution of the Agreement and ii) 16,021,937 shares of common

Operating Lease Agreements
The Company leases retail space at two different locations. The
term of the first lease is for a ten-year period from July 2014 to
April 2024 starting with a monthly base rent of $1,200. The base
rent is subject to an annual increase as defined in the lease
agreement. In addition to the monthly base rent, the Company is
charged separately for common area maintenance which is considered
a non-lease component. The second lease has a contingent rental
based on 10% of sales. Contingent rentals are not included in
operating lease liabilities. The Company’s leases generally do not
provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company uses its
incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring
operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate
represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur
at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease
payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease. The
Company used incremental borrowing rate of 10% as of January 1,
2019 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date. The
Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate based on its
credit quality, line of credit agreement and by comparing interest
rates available in the market for similar borrowings.
