Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information, which includes consolidated interim financial statements and present the consolidated interim financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2022. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated

BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021
(UNAUDITED)
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 29, 2022 (the “Annual Report”). The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
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.
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 September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a non-controlling interest balance of $(1,529,539) in connection with the majority-owned subsidiaries, Aphrodite’s Marketing and GearBubble Tech as reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and losses attributable to non-controlling interest of $972,067 and $860,807 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively as reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Note 2 - Going Concern
These unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss attributable to Bergio International, Inc. and cash used in operations of $2,146,779 and $2,175,047, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $18,182,991 at September 30, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
9
BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021
(UNAUDITED)
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. Between January 2022 and April 2022, the Company has received net proceeds of $1,555,000 from the sale of Series D convertible preferred stock.
The Company has increased its online presence and provide for the expansion of the Company’s branded product lines through the Company’s 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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 September 30, 2022. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 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 and equity instruments, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and stock-based compensation.
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
10
BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021
(UNAUDITED)
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.

(UNAUDITED)
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenue 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, and third-party e-commerce platform fees and selling fees. The Company directs its customers to the Company’s ecommerce platform through social media, digital marketing, and promotional campaigns. Marketing costs were $2,040,986 and $2,700,459 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Marketing costs were $405,422 and $718,682 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, are included in selling and marketing expenses on the unaudited condensed statement of operations.
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, and compensation and related expenses, separately on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operation previously included in the general and administrative expenses, and the presentation of accounts receivable - related party separately on the consolidated balance sheets previously included in accounts receivable.
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 September 30, 2022. 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).
12
BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021
(UNAUDITED)
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, due from and to related parties, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities 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 September 30, 2022:

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.
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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash in excess of FDIC limits of approximately $0, and $380,000, respectively.

BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021
(UNAUDITED)
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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021
(UNAUDITED)
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.
Concentration Risk
Concentration of Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, no customer accounted for over 10% of total revenues.
Concentration of Accounts Receivable
As of September 30, 2022, total accounts receivable amounted to $78,322 and four customers represented 67% (32% - related party customer and 35% - unrelated party customer) of this balance. As of December 31, 2021, total accounts receivable amounted to $51,324 and two customers represented 75% (48% - related party customer and 27% - unrelated party customer) of this balance.
Concentration of Purchases
The Company purchased approximately 35% of its finished products from two vendors (15% and 20%) during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
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.
The potentially dilutive common stock equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and 2021 were excluded from the dilutive loss per share calculation as they would be antidilutive due to the net loss as follow:

The Company used incremental borrowing rate of 10% as of January 1, 2019 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date.

On February 10, 2021, the Company 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 subsidiary of the Company known as Aphrodite’s Marketing, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), a Wyoming corporation in exchange for 3,000 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.
As additional consideration for the purchase of the acquired assets, the Company has also agreed to transfer to the selling shareholders 49,000 of the 100,000 authorized shares of the Acquisition Sub, such that upon the closing date, 51% of the Acquisition Sub shall be owned by the Company, and 49% of the Acquisition Sub shall be owned by the selling shareholders.
Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Acquisition Sub is expected to meet the adjusted financial projections as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, in order to earn additional 1,900 Series B Preferred shares, which if earned, shall entitle the selling shareholders to earn up to an additional 19% (the “Additional Shares”) of Series B Preferred Stock, which, including the 30% of Series B Preferred Stock issued at closing, shall together convert up to a maximum of 49% of the Company’s then-issued and outstanding shares of common stock, with the Additional Shares being subject to a two-year vesting period from the date of issuance, based upon additional revenues of Acquisition Sub, as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement.
In addition, the Acquisition Agreement requires that upon closing, Jonathan Foltz, the President and CEO of Digital Age Business, and certain other key employees of Acquisition Sub received employment agreements from Acquisition Sub with respect to their continued employment (the “Employment Agreements”) (which will allow such key employees to participate in any employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) as offered to the other Company’s subsidiary employees from time to time) to make certain that current personnel operating the business of Aphrodites.com shall remain in place for all departments of the business of Aphrodite’s Marketing post-closing of the acquisition.

It is anticipated that the Additional Financing will be consummated in tranches over the twelve (12) months following the closing; provided that the first tranche of the Additional Financing will be at least $750,000, and will be provided to the Acquisition Sub within 60 days after the Company’s new S-1 Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. As noted on Schedule D and Schedule E to the Acquisition Agreement, the foregoing financing, (including the loans shown on Schedule H, the Initial Financing, the Second Financing and the Additional Financing) totals $5,000,000, and any financing provided to Acquisition Sub, which exceeds the $5,000,000 total detailed in Section 2.2.1, shall be added to the Gross Revenue benchmarks set forth on Schedule D and Schedule E to the Acquisition Agreement.
Section 2.2.2 of the Acquisition Agreement further provides that, at the closing of the Acquisition, Southridge Capital (or its affiliates as directed by Southridge Capital) shall receive shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible into 1% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock as determined at the earlier of: (i) the date of conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock; and (ii) eighteen (18) months following the Closing.
On February 11, 2021, the Company, Digital Age Business, Acquisition Sub, and the selling shareholders entered into the First Amendment to the February 10, 2021 Acquisition Agreement (the “Amendment”) for the purpose of allocating the Series B Preferred Stock to the selling shareholders without fractional shares, which resulted in changing the Certificate of Designation for the Series B Preferred Stock to reflect a total of 4,900 authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and for the purpose of reflecting a total of 3,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be issued to the selling shareholders upon closing, (and the opportunity for the selling shareholders to earn up to an additional 1,900 shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon reaching certain gross revenue benchmarks).
The Company accounted for the acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”. Accordingly, the Company applied push-down accounting and adjusted to fair value all of the assets acquired directly on the financial statements of the majority owned subsidiary, Aphrodite’s Marketing.
The Company accounted for the value under ASC 805-50-30-2 “Business Combinations” whereby if the consideration is not in the form of cash, the measurement is based on either the cost which shall be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and thus more reliably measurable. The consideration of 3,000 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible at 51,084,935 shares of common stock at the time of closing. Additionally, since the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock could increase in value over the 18-month exercise period and such terms does not contain an explicit limit in the number of common stock to be delivered upon conversion, the Company accounted for the embedded conversion option in the 3,000 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued under the Acquisition Agreement as derivative liabilities. The Company determined that there is a 20% probability of achieving the post-acquisition milestones to earn the Additional Shares.
The Company deemed that the fair value of the consideration given was $0.013 per share based on the quoted trading price on the date of the closing amounting to $664,105 which is more clearly evident and more reliable measurement basis. During year 2021, the Company recorded $821,739 of fair value from the embedded conversion options in the 3,000 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 20% probability of achieving the Additional Shares as derivative liability.
The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

GearBubble Tech, Inc.
Pursuant to the terms of the May 6, 2021 Binding Letter of Intent, 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 subsidiary of the Company known as GearBubble Tech, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (the “Merger Sub”) 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. Accordingly, the Company owns 51% of GearBubble Tech.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the GearBubble Shareholders also have an opportunity to earn shares of the Company’s common stock (“BRGO Incentive Common Shares”) if certain revenue and net income benchmarks are met by Merger Sub in the three years following the Closing of the Acquisition Agreement.
The Merger Agreement requires that following the Closing of the Merger Agreement, Donald Wilson, the President and CEO of GearBubble, and certain other key employees of Acquisition Sub shall receive employment agreements from Acquisition Sub with respect to their continued employment (the “Employment Agreements”) which will allow such key employees to participate in any employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) as offered to other Company’s subsidiary employees from time to time) to make certain that current personnel operating the business of GearBubble shall remain in place for all departments of the business of GearBubble post-closing of the Acquisition.
At the Closing, the Equity Recipients will grant the Company the right of first refusal (the “First Refusal Right”) to purchase the Transfer Shares for cash. The aggregate cash price for the Transfer Shares shall equal (i) the average of a minimum of two (2) and a maximum of three (3) independent valuations of Merger Sub, each as of the date when the Company notifies the Equity Recipients of its intent to exercise the First Refusal Right, and each of which shall

(UNAUDITED)
be undertaken by an independent valuation firm (to be identified by the Company and mutually acceptable to the Equity Recipients), multiplied by (ii) 49%. If the First Refusal Right has not been exercised and the Equity Recipients have not otherwise had a liquidity event with respect to the Merger Sub prior to such date, each Equity Recipient will have a one-time put right (the “Put Right”) that, if elected by such Equity Recipient, would obligate the Company to buy the Transfer Shares held by such Equity Recipient for cash at a price per Transfer Share based upon the independent fair market valuation per share as determined by an independent valuation firm (chosen in the same manner as set forth in the prior sentence).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports (collectively, the “Filings”) filed by Bergio International, Inc. (“Bergio” or the “Company”) from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 29, 2022, relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one 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 the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
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.
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.
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.
40
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 subsidiary of the Company known as Aphrodite’s Marketing, Inc., a Wyoming corporation in exchange for 3,000 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 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
Overview
Net revenues increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to Aphrodite’s Marketing and GearBubble Tech acquisition as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 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 in February 2021 and GearBubble Tech in July 2021 and take advantage of the Bergio brand in the E-Commerce space as well as establishing a chain of retail stores worldwide.
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 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022:
·We have converted approximately $1,379,000 including accrued interest of $77,000 of our convertible notes and loan into equity.
·Raised additional funding from convertible notes and sales of our Series D Preferred Stock.
These events have allowed us to reduce our debt and provided funding for operations. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Net Revenues
Total net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 including net revenues - related parties which amounted to $1,318,851 decreased by $856,191 as compared to $2,137,042. Total net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 including net revenues - related parties which amounted to $5,873,599 increased by $411,923 as compared to $5,461,676. The decrease in total net revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily due to the decrease in revenues of our majority owned subsidiary, Aphrodite’s Marketing, as a result of the decrease in marketing and advertising expenses through social media, digital marketing, and promotional campaigns. The increase in total net revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the acquisition of GearBubble Tech in July 2021 whereby the year 2022 current period included nine month revenues of GearBubble Tech as compared to only three months from the year 2021 prior period.
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.

Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $732,914 to $2,832,043 as compared to $2,099,129 and was primarily due to the acquisition of GearBubble Tech in July 2021 whereby the year 2022 current period included nine month of GearBubble Tech’s cost of revenues as compared to only three months from the year 2021 prior period.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased by $40,381 to $723,788 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $764,169 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The decrease during the three months period was primarily attributable to the decrease in net revenues as discussed above.

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.
