PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

SUMMARY

ThisThe following summary provides an overview of certainhighlights material information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and doesprospectus. It may not contain all of the information that you should consider or that may beis important to you. Before making an investment decision,For additional information, you should read thethis entire Prospectusprospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements.  In this Prospectus, the terms “Bergio,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Bergio International Inc.


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 with Diamond Information Institute, whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Diamond Information Institute, Inc. (“Diamond Information Institute”) and changed the name of the Company to Bergio International Inc. (the “Exchange Agreement”).


We are entering into our 18th year of operations and concentrate on boutique, upscale jewelry stores.  We currently sell our jewelry to approximately 150 independent jewelry retailers across the United States and 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.  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 have approximately 50 to 75 product styles in our inventory, with prices ranging 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 in Italy and Bangkok.


It is our intention to establish Bergio as a holding company for the purpose of acquiring established jewelry design and manufacturing firms who possess branded product lines.  Branded product lines are products and/or collections whereby the jewelry manufacturers have established their products within the industry through advertising in consumer and trade magazines as well as possibly obtaining federally registered trademarks of their products and collections.  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.


We intend to acquire design and manufacturing firms throughout the United States and Europe.  If and when we pursue any potential acquisition candidates, we intend to target the top 10% of the world’s jewelry manufactures that have already created an identity and brand in the jewelry industry.  We intend to locate potential candidates through our relationships in the industry and expect to structure the acquisition through the payment of cash, which will most likely be provided from third party financing, as well as our common stock but not cash generated from our operations.  In the event we obtain financing from third parties for any potential acquisitions, Bergio may agree to issue our common stock in exchange for the capital received.  However, as of the date hereof, we do not have any binding agreements with any potential acquisition candidates.


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.


We also face the risk that we may not be able to effectively implement our business plan.  If we are not effective in addressing these risks, we may not operate profitably and we may not have adequate working capital to meet our obligations as they become due.





6




We have incurred net losses since our inception.    For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred a net loss of $261,565 and used cash of $218,966 in operations.  We currently have sufficient cash to sustain our operations for a period of approximately 1 month.  We will require additional funds through the receipt of conventional sources of capital or through future sales of our common stock, until such time as our revenues are sufficient to meet our cost structure, and ultimately achieve profitable operations.  Management estimates that it will need approximately $200,000 over the next twelve months to fund all of the Company’s current product development and marketing projects.  There is no assurance we will be successful in raising additional capital or achieving profitable operations.  Furthermore, the large number of shares available from the selling Security Holder pursuant to the prospectus and the depressive effect of the availability of such shares could make it difficult for us to raise funds from other sources.  Wherever possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations.  In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock.  These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing stockholders and may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material.


About This Offering


This offering relates to the resale of up to 9,500,000 shares of our common stock by the Selling Security Holder, which are the Shares that we will put to TCA pursuant to the Equity Agreement.  The 9,500,000 shares included in this prospectus represent a portion of the aggregate shares issuable to the Selling Security Holder under the Equity Agreement.  Pursuant to the Equity Agreement:


·

TCA agreed to purchase from the Company, from time to time, in the Companys discretion (subject to the conditions set forth therein), for a period of twenty-four (24) months, commencing on the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for resale of the Shares issuable under the Purchase Agreement, up to $2,500,000 of the Companys common stock;


·

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement between the Company and TCA entered into in connection with the Equity Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the resale of not less than the maximum number of shares of common stock allowable pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, of shares of common stock issuable under the Equity Agreement, by February 6, 2012;


·

The purchase price for the shares of common stock sold under the Equity Agreement will be equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Companys common stock for the five (5) consecutive trading days (the Pricing Period) after the Company delivers to TCA an Advance notice in writing (the Market Price) requiring TCA to Advance funds to the Company, subject to the terms of the Equity Agreement.


·

The maximum amount of common stock that TCA shall be obligated to purchase with respect to any single Advance under the Equity Agreement will be the greater of: (i) an amount calculated by multiplying the Market Price applicable to the relevant Advance notice by 500,000 shares or (ii) two hundred percent (200%) of the Market Price applicable to the relevant Advance notice.


·

As further consideration for TCA entering into and structuring the equity facility, the Company shall pay to TCA a fee by issuing to TCA that number of shares of the Companys common stock that equal a dollar amount of one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars ($125,000) (the “Facility Fee Shares”).  The Facility Fee Shares shall be issued by the Company to TCA in four (4) quarterly installments, the first of such issuances being the date of execution of the Equity Agreement.  It is the intention of the Company and TCA that the value of the Facility Fee Shares shall equal $125,000.  In the event the value of the Facility Fee Shares issued to TCA does not equal $125,000 after a ninth month evaluation date, the Equity Agreement provides for an adjustment provision allowing for necessary action to adjust the number of shares issued.


We relied on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The transaction does not involve a private offering, TCA is an “accredited investor” and/or qualified institutional buyer and TCA has access to information about the Company and its investment.




7




At an assumed purchase price under the Purchase Agreement of $0.0095 (equal to 95% of the closing price of our common stock of $0.01 on January 31, 2012), we will be able to receive up to $90,250 in gross proceeds, assuming the sale of the entire 9,500,000 Shares being registered hereunder pursuant to the Equity Agreement.  At an assumed purchase price of $0.0095 under the Equity Agreement, we would be required to register 253,657,895 additional shares to obtain the balance of $2,500,000 under the Equity Agreement.  The Company is currently authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of its common stock.  TCA has agreed, subject to certain exceptions listed in the Equity Agreement, to refrain from holding an amount of shares which would result in TCA or its affiliates from owning more than 9.99% of the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at any one time.


We will bear the expenses of this offering which we estimate to be approximately $40,000, including legal expenses of approximately $25,000, accounting expenses of approximately $10,000, and miscellaneous expenses, including printer costs, of approximately $5,000.


There are substantial risks to investors as a result of the issuance of shares of our common stock under the Equity Agreement.  These risks include dilution of stockholders, significant decline in our stock price and our inability to draw sufficient funds when needed.


TCA will periodically purchase our common stock under the Equity Agreement and will, in turn, sell such shares to investors in the market at the market price.  This may cause our stock price to decline, which will require us to issue increasing numbers of common shares to TCA to raise the same amount of funds, as our stock price declines.

An investment in the Company’s common stock involves a high degree of risk.  An investor should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information contained in this report.  If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of our common stock could decline, and an investor may lose all or part of his or her investment.


Risks Related To Our Business and Industry


WE HAVE HAD LIMITED OPERATIONS, HAVE INCURRED LOSSES SINCE INCEPTION, HAVE SUFFICIENT CASH TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS FOR A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH, AND WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS PLAN.


For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred a net loss of $261,565 and used cash of $218,966 in operations.  As of September 30, 2011, we have an accumulated deficit of $3,197,685.  We will require additional funds through the receipt of conventional sources of capital or through future sales of our common stock, until such time as our revenues are sufficient to meet our cost structure, and ultimately achieve profitable operations.  We currently have sufficient cash to sustain our operations for a period of approximately one month.  Management estimates that it will need approximately $200,000 over the next twelve months to fund all of the Company’s current product development and marketing projects.  There is no assurance we will be successful in raising additional capital or achieving profitable operations.  Wherever possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations.  In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted and unrestricted shares of our common stock.  These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing stockholders and may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material.


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.


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, 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.

BECAUSE WE ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON OUR KEY EXECUTIVE OFFICER FOR THE SUCCESS OF OUR BUSINESS PLAN AND MAY BE DEPENDENT ON THE EFFORTS AND RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PRINCIPALS OF FUTURE ACQUISITIONS AND MERGERS, IF ANY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS BECOME UNABLE TO CONTINUE IN THEIR ROLE, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.


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.


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 ACQUIRE BUSINESSES AND SUCH ACTIVITY INVOLVES A NUMBER OF RISKS, OUR CORE BUSINESS MAY SUFFER.


We may consider acquisitions of assets or other business.  Any acquisition 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;


·

Our managements 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.




11




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 EFFECTED.


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.


WE MAINTAIN A RELATIVELY LARGE INVENTORY OF OUR RAW MATERIALS AND IF THIS INVENTORY IS LOST DUE TO THEFT, OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WOULD BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED.


We purchase large volumes of precious metals and store significant quantities of raw materials and jewelry products at our facility in New Jersey.  Although we have an insurance policy with Lloyd’s of London, if we were to encounter significant inventory losses due to third party or employee theft from our facility which required us to implement additional security measures, this would increase our operating costs.  Also such losses of inventory could exceed the limits of, or be subject to an exclusion from, coverage under our current insurance policy.  Claims filed by us under our insurance policies could lead to increases in the insurance premiums payable by us or possible termination of coverage under the relevant policy.


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.


Approximately $345,976 of our working capital consists of accounts receivable from customers.  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.




12




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 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


IF WE FAIL TO REMAIN CURRENT ON OUR REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, WE COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE OTCBB WHICH WOULD LIMIT THE ABILITY OF BROKER-DEALERS TO SELL OUR SECURITIES AND THE ABILITY OF STOCKHOLDERS TO SELL THEIR SECURITIES IN THE SECONDARY MARKET.


Companies trading on the OTCBB, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTCBB.  More specifically, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has enacted Rule 6530, which determines eligibility of issuers quoted on the OTCBB by requiring an issuer to be current in its filings with the SEC.  Pursuant to Rule 6530(e), if we file our reports late with the SEC three times our securities will be removed from the OTCBB for failure to timely file.  As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.


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.




13




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.


BECAUSE OUR CURRENT CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND SOLE DIRECTOR, MR. BERGE ABAJIAN, OWNS A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF OUR COMPANY, HE WILL BE ABLE TO EXERCISE SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OVER OUR COMPANY, DESPITE YOUR ABILITY TO VOTE.


Berge Abajian, our chief executive officer and sole director, beneficially owns a significant percentage of our common stock and maintains voting control through his ownership of preferred stock.  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.  In addition, sales of significant amount of shares held by Mr. Abajian, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.


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.




14




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.


IF WE ARE UNABLE TO FAVORABLY ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING, OUR STOCK PRICE COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.


Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Section 404, our management will be required to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in each of our annual reports.  Our management will need to provide such a report commencing with our first annual report after we have filed an annual report with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for the prior fiscal year, which will be our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2011.  We may not be able to favorably assess the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, or beyond.  If this occurs, investor confidence and our stock price could be adversely affected.


WE ARE REGISTERING AN AGGREGATE OF 9,500,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK TO BE ISSUED UNDER THE EQUITY AGREEMENT.  THE SALE OF SUCH SHARES COULD DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.


We are registering an aggregate of 9,500,000 Shares of common stock under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part for issuance pursuant to the Equity Agreement.  Notwithstanding TCA’s ownership limitation, the 9,500,000 Shares would represent approximately 20.96% of our shares of common stock outstanding immediately after our exercise of the put right under the Equity Agreement.  The sale of these Shares into the public market by TCA could depress the market price of our common stock.  At the assumed offering price of $0.0095 per share, we will be able to receive up to $90,250 in gross proceeds, assuming the sale of the entire 9,500,000 Shares being registered hereunder pursuant to the Equity Agreement.  We would be required to register 253,657,895 additional shares to obtain the balance of $2,500,000 under the Equity Agreement at the assumed offering price of $0.0095.  Due to the floating offering price, we are not able to determine the exact number of shares that we will issue under the Equity Agreement.






15




THE COMPANY MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE FULL AMOUNT AVAILABLE UNDER THE EQUITY AGREEMENT.


We have not drawn down funds and have not issued shares of our common stock under the Equity Agreement with TCA.  Our ability to draw down funds and sell shares under the Equity Agreement requires that the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, be declared effective by the SEC, and that this registration statement continue to be effective.  In addition, the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part registers 9,500,000 Shares issuable under the Equity Agreement, and our ability to access the Equity Agreement to sell any remaining shares issuable under the Equity Agreement is subject to our ability to prepare and file one or more additional registration statements registering the resale of these shares.  These subsequent registration statements may be subject to review and comment by the staff of the SEC, and will require the consent of our independent registered public accounting firm.  Therefore, the timing of effectiveness of these subsequent registration statements cannot be assured.  The effectiveness of these subsequent registration statements is a condition precedent to our ability to sell the shares of common stock subject to these subsequent registration statements to TCA under the Equity Agreement.  Even if we are successful in causing one or more registration statements registering the resale of some or all of the shares issuable under the Equity Agreement to be declared effective by the SEC in a timely manner, we will not be able to sell shares under the Equity Agreement unless certain other conditions are met.  Accordingly, because our ability to draw down amounts under the Equity Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, there is no guarantee that we will be able to draw down any portion or all of the $2,500,000 available to us under the Equity Agreement.


CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THE EXTENT OF PUTS AND THE DELIVERY OF ADVANCE NOTICES MAY HAVE LITTLE, IF ANY, EFFECT ON THE ADVERSE IMPACT OF OUR ISSUANCE OF SHARES IN CONNECTION WITH THE EQUITY AGREEMENT, AND AS SUCH, TCA MAY SELL A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES, RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO THE VALUE OF SHARES HELD BY EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS.


TCA has agreed, subject to certain exceptions listed in the Equity Agreement, to refrain from holding an amount of shares which would result in TCA or its affiliates owning more than 9.99% of the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at any one time.  These restrictions, however, do not prevent TCA from selling shares of common stock received in connection with a put, and then receiving additional shares of common stock in connection with a subsequent put.  In this way, TCA could sell more than 9.99% of the outstanding common stock in a relatively short time frame while never holding more than 9.99% at one time.


ASSUMING WE UTILIZE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT AVAILABLE UNDER THE EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT, EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS COULD EXPERIENCE SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION UPON THE ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK.


Our Equity Agreement with TCA contemplates the potential future issuance and sale of up to $2,500,000 of our common stock to TCA subject to certain restrictions and obligations.  The following table is an example of the number of shares that could be issued at various prices assuming we utilize the maximum amount remaining available under the Equity Agreement.  These examples assume issuances at a market price of $0.00.95 per share and at 10%, 25%, 50%, and 75% below $0.0095 per share, taking into account TCA’s 5% discount.

TCA WILL PAY LESS THAN THE THEN-PREVAILING MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK.


The common stock to be issued to TCA pursuant to the Equity Agreement will be purchased at an 5% discount to the average of the lowest closing price of the common stock of any two trading days, consecutive or inconsecutive, during the five consecutive trading days immediately following the date of our advance notice to TCA of our election to put shares pursuant to the Equity Agreement.  TCA has a financial incentive to sell our common stock immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price.  If TCA sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease.  If our stock price decreases, TCA may have a further incentive to sell the shares of our common stock that it holds.  These sales may have a further impact on our stock price.


YOUR OWNERSHIP INTEREST MAY BE DILUTED AND THE VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY DECLINE BY EXERCISING THE PUT RIGHT PURSUANT TO OUR EQUITY AGREEMENT.


Effective December 23, 2011, we entered into a $2,500,000 Equity Agreement with TCA.  Pursuant to the Equity Agreement, when we deem it necessary, we may raise capital through the private sale of our common stock to TCA at a price equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately following the date our advance notice is delivered.  Because the put price is lower than the prevailing market price of our common stock, to the extent that the put right is exercised, your ownership interest may be diluted.




17




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.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


Statements in this prospectus may be “forward-looking statements.”  Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions.  These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management.  These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.  Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this prospectus, including the risks described under “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this prospectus and in other documents which we file with the SEC.  In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to our ability to raise any financing which we may require for our operations, competition, government regulations and requirements, pricing and development difficulties, our ability to make acquisitions and successfully integrate those acquisitions with our business, as well as general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and general economic conditions.  Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.


USE OF PROCEEDS


The Selling Security Holder is selling all of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus for its own account.  Accordingly, we will not receive any proceeds from the resale of our common stock.  However, we will receive proceeds from any sale of the common stock to TCA under the Equity Agreement.  We intend to use the net proceeds received for working capital or general corporate needs.


SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS


We agreed to register for resale 9,500,000 Shares that we will put to TCA pursuant to the Equity Agreement.  The Equity Agreement with TCA provides that TCA is committed to purchase up to $2,500,000 of our common stock.  We may draw on the facility from time to time, as and when we determine appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Equity Agreement.


Selling Security Holder Pursuant to the Equity Agreement


TCA is the potential purchaser of our common stock under the Equity Agreement.  The 9,500,000 Shares offered in this prospectus are based on the Equity Agreement between TCA and us.  TCA may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the Shares that are registered under this prospectus.  The purchase price is ninety-five percent (95%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately following the date on which the Company is deemed to provide an advance notice under the Equity Agreement.




18




We are unable to determine the exact number of Shares that will actually be sold by TCA according to this prospectus due to:


·

the ability of TCA to determine when and whether it will sell any of the Shares under this prospectus; and


·

the uncertainty as to the number of Shares that will be issued upon exercise of our put options through the delivery of an Advance notice under the Equity Agreement.


The following information contains a description of how TCA acquired (or shall acquire) the shares to be sold in this offering.  TCA has not held a position or office, or had any other material relationship with us, except as follows.


TCA is a limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands.  All investment decisions of, and control of, TCA is held by its general partner TCA Global Credit Fund GP, Ltd (“TCA GP”).  Robert Press is the manager of TCA GP, and he has voting and investment power over the shares beneficially owned by TCA.  TCA acquired, or will acquire, all shares being registered in this offering in the financing transaction with us.


TCA intends to sell up to 9,500,000 Shares of our common stock pursuant to the Equity Agreement under this prospectus.  On December 23, 2011, the Company and TCA entered into the Equity Agreement pursuant to which we have the opportunity, for a twenty-four (24) month period, beginning on the date on which the SEC first declares effective this registration statement registering the resale of our shares by TCA, to sell shares of our common stock for a total price of $2,500,000.  For each share of our common stock purchased under the Equity Agreement, TCA will pay ninety-five percent (95%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately following the date on which the Company is deemed to provide an advance notice of a sale of common stock under the Equity Agreement.


We relied on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The transaction does not does involve a private offering, TCA is an “accredited investor” and/or qualified institutional buyer and TCA has access to information about the Company and its investment.

Our Business


We are entering into our 18th year of operations and concentrate on supplying our jewelry products to boutique, upscale jewelry stores. We currently sell our jewelry to approximately 50 independent jewelry retailers across the United States and 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.  We have manufacturing control over our line as a result of having a manufacturing facility in New Jersey as well as subcontracts with facilities in Italy.


It is our intention to establish Bergio International as a holding company for the purpose of acquiring established jewelry design and manufacturing firms who possessestablishing retails stores worldwide. Our branded product lines. Branded product lines are products and/or collections wherebydesigned 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 manufacturers have established their products within the industry through advertising in consumer and trade magazines as well as possibly obtaining federally registered trademarks and patents of theirwith other products and collections.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 acquire design and manufacturing firms throughoutsell our products on a wholesale basis to limited customers.

We intendState of Delaware (“Crown Luxe”). Crown Lux was established to locate potential candidates through our relationshipsoperate the Company’s first retail store, which was opened in Bergen County, New Jersey in the industryfourth quarter of 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 has instituted various cost saving measures to conserve cash and expecthas worked with its debtors in an attempt to structurenegotiate the acquisition throughdebt 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 paymentCompany 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.

Principal Products and Services


We have historically sold our products directly to distributors, retailers and other wholesalers, who then in turn sell their products to consumers through retail stores. Independent retail jewelers that offer the current Bergio line are not under formal contracts and most sell competing products as well.


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 plus a markup reflecting ouras well as design fee and processing fees.


Each year, most jewelry manufacturers bring new products to market. 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 75100 to 100150 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 officerChief Executive Officer and director, Mr. Abajian, consults regularly with the design teams of his Italian manufacturers, which usually results in a constant continuation ofto design and create new products and sometimes entire lines being developed.product lines. Typically, new products come on line approximately every year and most recently, Bergio International introduced its latest collection,collections include Byzantine, Cestino, and Safari Collections, which launched in June 2010 and consistsconsist of approximately 35 pieces made with pink gold and diamonds. In 2011, we are introducing two additional collections,Our offerings also include the Sistina and Rocca Collections. Depending on the timing and styling at any point in time, our products and collections would fall in one of the various categories shown below:

1.Whimsical. The whimsical line includes charms, crosses and other “add-on” pieces.


(2)

2.Fine. The proposed middle line will consist of fashion jewelry utilizing colored stones, diamonds and pearls applied to a variety of applications such as necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets and rings. The metals that we intend to use for the Middle line include platinum, 18K white & yellow gold.


(3)

3.Couture. The Couture line is our most luxurious line, and consists of one-of-a-kind pieces, new showcase products each year, and predominantly utilizes diamonds, platinum and other precious metals and stones of the highest grade and quality available.

4.Bridal. The Bridal line is our core business. We attempt to stay on the forefront of trends and designs in the bridal market with the latest in wedding sets, engagement rings and wedding bands for both men and women.

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. Over the last 15 years, Mr. Abajian has been the primary influencer over the Bergio collections.  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 the market needs dictate.needed. Management intends to maintain a diverse line of jewelry to mitigate concentration of sales and continuously expand our market reach.

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. 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.

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. There are over 4,000 jewelry design and manufacture companies worldwide, several of which have greater experience, brand name recognition and financial resources than Bergio International.


Our management believes that the jewelry industry competes in the global marketplace and therefore must be adaptable to remain competitive.  Recently the U.S. economy has encountered a slowdown and Bergio International anticipates the U.S. economy will most likely remain weak at least through the end of 2011.  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 2010.  The impact of the slowing U.S. economy is not usually known until the second quarter of any given year in our industry, thus it is hard to estimate the actual impact the slowing economy will have on our business.


According to the United States Department of Commerce outlook in 2008, the United States apparent consumption of precious metal jewelry was expected to grow over the next few years at a slow but steady rate, before picking up considerably in 2011.  A stronger economy, more spending by the baby boomers and young professionals with an overall trend toward luxury products will lead to future growth.  From 2007 to 2011, apparent consumption of precious metal jewelry is expected to increase by an average of 3.9% per year, totaling $14.0 billion in 2011.  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.


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.




25




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 Bergio International’sour 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.

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 facility.  We paylocation and will be paid monthly. The Company is also responsible for additional rent or common area charges (“CAM”) of approximately $1,800 per month.  Our Fairfield, New Jersey facility is presently adequate for the performance of all company functions, which includes manufacturing, design and administrative needs.$1,100 monthly.


Additionally, we anticipate opening additional offices and/or design facilities in other locationsretail stores as we continue to implement our business plan throughout the United States, when and if any acquisitions are completed in the future.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.

Changes in Control

We are not aware of any arrangements that may result in “changes in control” as that term is defined by the provisions of Item 403(c) of Regulation S-K.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

The Company receives periodic advances from its principal executive officer based upon the Company’s cash flow needs. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $383,717 and $455,541, respectively, was due to such officer, including accrued interest. On September 30, 2018, the Principal Executive Office signed an agreement with 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. As such, all deferred compensation in the amount of $795,571 and $204,429 of the advances was classified as a long-term liability at December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the principal executive officer converted $500,000 of deferred compensation for common stock of the Company. As such, as of December 31, 2019, deferred compensation of $297,513 and $202,487 of the advances, totaling $500,000, was classified as a long-term liability. Interest expense is accrued at an average annual market rate of interest which was 4.75% and 5.25% at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Interest expense due to such officer was $52,494 and $45,392 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Accrued interest was $202,487 and $149,993 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 involvedhave 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 litigationmember 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.

RISK FACTORS

Risk Factors

Risks Related To Our Business and Industry

WE HAVE HAD LIMITED OPERATIONS, HAVE INCURRED LOSSES SINCE INCEPTION, HAVE LIMITED CASH 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. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had limited cash on hand and $712,298 in convertible debentures due on December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2019, the Company also had a stockholders’ deficit of $612,716. 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. 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 may be affected by the recent and ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which in March 2020, was been 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 believecould 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 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 orand results of operations.  There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry

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 investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pendingotherwise 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 knowledgeability 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 executive officersability 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 companybusiness, we will not be able to generate enough revenue to achieve and maintain profitability or anyto 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 subsidiaries, threatened against or affectingbusiness. 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 company,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 common stock, any ofoperating expenses to increase sales and marketing, and such expenses are not subsequently followed by increased revenues, our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decisionoperating performance and results would be adversely affected and, if sustained, could have a material adverse effect.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.






26




MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


SomeA 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 statements contained in this prospectusCompany 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 not historical factssenior to those of our Common Stock. If additional funds are “forward-looking statements” whichraised 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 identifiedno 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 useOTC 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, 2019, 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.

We intend to use the net proceeds as follows:

·Expansion of retail operations, advertising, expansion of online presence, additional marketing support, working capital and general corporate purposes. 

·General and administrative expenses pertain to operating expenses rather than to expenses that can be directly related to the production of any goods or services, utilities, insurance and managerial salaries which may come at a later date. 

This expected use of the net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including the progress of our development and commercialization efforts, the status of and results from clinical trials, as well as any collaboration that we may enter into with third parties, and any unforeseen cash needs. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering. We have no current agreements, commitments or understandings for any material acquisitions or licenses of any products, businesses or technologies.

Our management will have broad discretion over the uses of the net proceeds from this offering.

DETERMINATION OF THE OFFERING PRICE

We currently expect the offering price to be $0.007 per share of our common stock for the shares of stock being offered by us pursuant to this prospectus.

The offering price of the common stock has been arbitrarily determined by our board of directors and bears no relationship to any objective criterion of value. The price does not bear any relationship to the Company’s assets, book value, historical earnings or net worth. In determining the offering price, the board of directors considered such factors as the lack of recent trading prices of the common stock, the board’s perception of our future prospects, past and anticipated operating results, present financial resources and the likelihood of selling the shares of common stock offered hereby. Accordingly, the offering price should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the Company or the common stock.

As noted above you should not consider the offering price as an indication of value of Bergio International, Inc. or our common stock. You should not assume or expect that, after the offering, our shares of common stock will trade at or above the offering price in any given time period. Our stock currently does not trade at all and is not quoted on any market. The market price of our common stock may decline during or after the offering, and you may not be able to sell the underlying shares of our common stock purchased during the offering at a price equal to or greater than the offering price. You should obtain advice from your financial advisor before purchasing shares and make your own assessment of our business and financial condition, our prospects for the future, and the terms of the offering.



DILUTION

The offering price of the Shares of Common Stock being offered for sale pursuant to this Offering is substantially higher than the book value per share of the Common Stock. Accordingly, investors purchasing the Shares pursuant to this Offering will experience an immediate and significant dilution in the book value per share of the Shares purchased. We may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders. See “Risk Factors-We may require additional capital to finance our operations in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed and could be dilutive to existing stockholders” and “We can sell additional shares of common stock without consulting stockholders and without offering shares to existing stockholders, which would result in dilution of stockholders’ interests in Bergio International, Inc. and could depress our stock price.”

DILUTION TABLE

The price of the current offering is fixed at $0.007 per common share. This price is significantly higher than the price paid by our Directors and Officers for common equity since the Company’s inception.

Assuming completion of the offering, there will be up to 526,153,384 common shares outstanding. The following table illustrates the per common share dilution that may be experienced by investors at various funding levels based on stockholders’ deficit of $612,716 as of December 31, 2019.

We also intend to acquire designsell 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 manufacturing firms throughoutbillboard advertising since launching the United Statesline 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 Europe. Ifdesigns made from precious metals such as, gold, platinum, and when we pursue any potential acquisition candidates, we intend to target the top 10% of the world’s jewelry manufactures that have already created an identity and brand in the jewelry industry. We intend to locate potential candidates through our relationships in the industry and expect to structure the acquisition through the payment of cash, which will most likely be provided from third party financing,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 common stockproducts 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 the fourth quarter of 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 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 operations may be affected by the recent and ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which in March 2020, was been 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 cash generated from our operations. Inlimited to, disruption to the event we obtain financing from third parties for any potential acquisitions, Bergio may agree to issue our common stockCompany’s customers and revenue, labor workforce, unavailability of products and supplies used in exchangeoperations, and the decline in value of assets held by the Company, including property and equipment.



Overview

The past few years have been difficult for the capital received. However,Company as we have worked hard at finding ways to take advantage of the dateBergio brand. The current Pandemic has caused our business some additional difficulties as we have been forced to temporarily close our two retails stores. However, we continue to work our wholesale operations and also promote and sell our products by establishing an online presence.

We continue to believe that our plan to establish a chain of retail stores in strategic markets will be step in the right direction.

The Company continues to position itself for the future to take advantage of the Bergio brand and establish 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 as we spend our limited resources in building our high-end retail operations. The Company has leveraged itself such that as sales increase a larger portion of dollars will flow to the bottom line.

Results of Operations - Quarter Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2019

Overview

Sales decreased 45% to $75,393 for the first quarter of 2020. Our retail operations were impacted by the pandemic. However, we are expanding our online presence and have been experiencing some positive results, but it is too early to assess the real impact.  The Company continues to position itself for the future to take advantage of the Bergio brand and establish 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.

The Company continues to pursue additional financing opportunities. Financing discussions have been taking place with various parties, but the Company has no firm commitment from any party to provide additional funding at this time. 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 report, we do not have any binding agreements with any potential acquisition candidates or arrangements with any third parties for financing.uncertainty.

Net salesconsulting expense to provide brand awareness for the nineCompany’s new line of fashion accessories and to develop strategies for global expansion. These services were paid for with the Company’s common stock and did not involve any cash. These services were for six months ended September 30, 2011, were $1,029,774, comparedand these expenses are not expected to $892,509 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This resulted in an increase of $137,265 from the comparable period. The three and nine month increases primarily result from bulk sales of diamonds, which have little profit margin. The decrease in higher margin sales is due to the lack of consumer confidence in the U.S. economy and the continuing high level of unemployment. Such lack of confidence has resulted in a slowdown in discretionary spending which has continued to negatively affect our higher margin sales. We have tried to offset the U.S. slowdown by expanding our customer base into Europe and Asia; however, those economies have also experienced slowdowns in the second and third quarters of 2011.

Typically, revenues experience significant seasonal volatility in the jewelry industry.

Our working capital decreased by approximately $54,000 duringis primarily attributed to an increase in the ninederivative liability at March 31, 2020 as a result of the higher stock price at March 31, 2020.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due toMarch 31, 2020, the following:Company’s principal sources and uses of funds were as follows:

Inventory at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, was $1,536,852 and $1,602,680, respectively. Our management seeks to maintain a very consistent inventory level that it believes is commensurate with current market conditions and manufacturing requirements related to our anticipated sales volume.

This allows for us to resell or recast these materials into new products and/or designs as the market evolves. We had a decreaseincrease in inventory of approximately $66,000 or 4% primarily attributable to a purchase of diamondsand prepaid expenses offset mostly by the lower non-cash operating loss and the increase in the last quarter of 2010 in the amount of approximately $95,000 which was sold in the first quarter of 2011.

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 $13,131,356 as of March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $562,495, net of debt discount of $126,703, in convertible debentures, some of which are currently due and the Company is currently negotiating terms with the holders of these debentures. At March 31, 2020, the Company also had a stockholders’ deficit of $1,912,517. 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. We also intend to sell our products on a wholesale basis to limited customers.

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.

Significant Changes in the Number of Employees

We currently have 2 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee. Our current employees are 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. We will increase the number employees as we open new stores.

Results of Operations - Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2018

Sales

Net sales for year ended December 31, 2019 decreased $7,809 (1.3%) to $600,981, as compared to $608,790 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Retail sales and wholesale sales remained stable year to year.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased $140,744 (58.5%) to $379,876 as compared to $239,732 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase in gross profit is primarily due to the increased gross profits in wholesale operations. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 63.2% for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to 39.4% for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $10,806 (2.1%) to $525,952 for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $515,146 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase is mostly a result of lower salary expense to the PEO and lower depreciation expense mostly offset by costs associated with the new store scheduled which opened at the Ocean Resort in Atlantic City, NJ in November 2018.

Loss from Operations

As a result of the above, the Company had a loss from operations in the amount of $146,076 for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $275,414 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Other Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had other expense of $2,222,967 as compared to other expense of $141,900 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase is mostly attributed to the loss on the extinguishment of debt.



Net Loss

As a result of the above, the Company had a net loss of $3,035,043 or the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $417,314 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Our working capital deficiency was $257,106 at December 31, 2019 as compared to a working capital of $180,628 at December 31, 2018. This decrease is primarily attributed the derivative liability in 2019 associated with the new convertible debt.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had a net decrease in cash of $22,790. The Company’s principal sources and uses of funds were as follows:

Cash used in operating activities. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company used $84,954 in cash for operations as compared to $96,581 in cash for the year ended December 31, 2018. This improvement in cash used in operations is attributed to the lower operating loss and change in inventories offset mostly by the change in accounts receivable and deferred compensation.

Cash used in investing activities. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company used $7,572 in investing activities as compared to providing $31,347 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as result of the decrease in the acquisition of capital assets.

Cash provided financing activities. For the year ended December 31, 2019 the Company provided $115,316 in financing activities as compared to $106,205 in cash for financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in proceeds from convertible debt and loans payable partially offset by payments of advances from stockholder.

Our indebtedness is comprised of various convertible debt 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 Debt

The Company enters into certain financing agreements for convertible debt. For the most part, the Company settles these obligations with the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding convertible debt in the amount of $470,289.

Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months

A critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence is to increase sales and efficiently manage the production of our jewelry lines and successfully develop new lines through our Company or through possible acquisitions and/or mergers. 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 accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.

Over

The Company has suffered recurring losses, and at December 31, 2019, the next twelve months we believeCompany had a stockholders’ deficit of $612,716. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $22,790 of cash on hand and $712,298 in convertible debt. 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.

In addition to obtaining new customers and increasing sales to existing customers, management plans to achieve profitability by also establishing Bergio as a holding company for the purpose of establishing retails stores worldwide. 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 our existing capital combined with cash flow from operations and advances from our major stockholder willmight be sufficient to sustain our current operations. However,necessary in the event we locate potential acquisitions and/or mergers we will most likely need to obtain additional funding through the sale of equity and/or debt securities. There can be no assurance that if additional funding is required we will be able to secure it on terms that are favorable to us or at all.Company cannot continue in existence.

Critical Accounting Policies


The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date ofGAAP. In preparing the financial statements and accounting for the reported amounts of revenueunderlying transactions and expenses during the reported period.




36




Accounts Receivable. Management periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from customers to determine if accounts receivable balances, are impaired based on factors affecting the collectability of those balances. Management believes the accounts receivable balance at September 30, 2011, is fully collectible and deems an allowance for doubtful accounts not necessary as of this date.


Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, long-lived tangible assets subject to depreciation or amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measures by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value as determined by an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in their impairment analyses may not be achieved.


Equity-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for equity based compensation transactions with employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 718, “Compensation: Stock Compensation” (“Topic No. 718”). Topic No. 718 requires the recognition of the fair value of equity-based compensation in net income. The fair value of common stock issued for compensation is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of the Company’s equity instruments, other than common stocks, is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and elections including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. In addition, the calculation of equity-based compensation costs requires that the Company estimate the numberapplies its accounting policies as disclosed in Note 2 of awardsour Notes to Financial Statements.  The Company’s accounting policies that will be forfeited during the vesting period. The fair valuerequire a higher degree of equity-based awards granted to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the awardjudgment and the Company elected to use the straight-line method for awards granted after the adoption of Topic No. 718.


The Company accounts for equity based transactions with non-employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“Topic No. 505-50”). Topic No. 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to non-employees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, the Company recognizes an asset or expensecomplexity used in the same manner as if it was to receive cash for the goods or services insteadpreparation of paying with or using the equity instrument.financial statements include:


Revenue Recognition.Recognition The - the Company’s management recognizes revenue when realized or realizable and earned.  In connection with revenue, the Company established a sales return and allowance reserve for anticipated merchandise to be returned based on historical operations.  The Company’s sole revenue producing activity as a manufacturer and distributor of upscale jewelry is affected by movement in fashion trends and customer desire for new designs, varying economic conditions affecting consumer spending and changing product demand by retailers affecting their desired inventory levels. Realizing that this may, and in some periods has, resulted in a significant amount of sales returns, management revised the Company policy of accepting merchandise returns. Whereas under prior policy customers had up to 360 days to return merchandise and were allowed credits as offsets to their outstanding accounts receivable, under the current return policy merchandise, with limited exceptions, cannot be returned.

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 credits 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 our expectation and the provision established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to receive positive results. Management has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts of $-0- at December 31, 2019 and $-0- at December 31, 2018.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company follows guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) on “Fair Value Measurements” for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  This guidance establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.



The FASB 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.  Additionally, the FASB requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

These inputs are prioritized below:

Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 

Level 2:Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. 

Level 3:Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions. 

The Company discloses the estimated fair value for all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. As of December 31, 2019, the fair value of short-term financial instruments including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates book value due to their short-term maturity.  The fair value of property and equipment is estimated to approximate its net book value.  The fair value of debt obligations, other than convertible debt obligations, approximates their face values due to their short-term maturities and/or the variable rates of interest associated with the underlying obligations.

Income taxes - deferred tax assets arise from a variety of sources, the most significant being: a) tax losses that can be carried forward to be utilized against profits in future years; b) expenses recognized in the books but disallowed in the tax return until the associated cash flow occurs; and c) valuation changes of assets which need to be tax effected for book purposes but are deductible only when the valuation change is realized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefit which is not more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, future taxable income is estimated, considering the realization of tax loss carryforwards. Valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can also be affected by changes to tax laws, changes to statutory tax rates and future taxable income levels. In the event it was determined that the Company would not be able to realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets in the future, the Company would reduce such amounts through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made. Conversely, if it were determined that it would be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net carrying amounts, the Company would decrease the recorded valuation allowance through an increase to income in the period in which that determination is made. In its evaluation of a valuation allowance, the Company takes into account existing contracts and backlog, and the probability that options under these contract awards will be exercised as well as sales of existing products. The Company prepares profit projections based on the revenue and expenses forecast to determine that such revenues will produce sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets.

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 IssuedAdopted Authoritative Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements



to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective on January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and use the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elects the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. On adoption, the Company recognized additional operating lease liabilities of approximately $911,000 with corresponding ROU assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases.


There are severalIn June 2018, the FASB, issued ASU No. 2018-07 to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The new guidance expands the scope of Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 718 to include share-based payments granted to nonemployees in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in an entity’s own operations and supersedes the guidance in ASC 505-50. The guidance is effective for public business entities in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period for which financial statements have not been issued, but not before an entity adopts ASC 606. This was adopted on January 1, 2019 and did not have a material impact on the financial position and results of operations.

Recent Authoritative Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes - simplifying the accounting for income taxes (Topic 740), which is meant to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendment also improves consistent application and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance.  We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or willare expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial positionstatements.

Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elects the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company continues to evaluate the impact that that this standard will have on the Company’s financial statements. While the Company continues to assess all of the effects of adoption, the Company currently believes the most significant effects relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet for the Company’s real estate operating leases.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” This ASU provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The amendments should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. For public business entities, this update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017



and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating whether this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 fiveten 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 of directorsBoard did not hold any meetings during the most recently completed fiscal year end. Various matters were approved by written consent, resolution, which in each case was signedexecuted by each of the members of the Board then serving.Board.


Committees of the Board


We do not currently have a compensation committee, executivenominating committee, or stock plan committee.




Audit Committee


We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The entire Board of Directors 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.


NominationNominating Committee


Our board of directorsBoard 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:


·

Thethe appropriate size of our board of directors;


·

Ourour needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of our directors;


·

Thethe 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;


·

Experienceexperience in political affairs;




·

Experienceexperience with accounting rules and practices; and


·

Thethe 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.  In doing so, the Board will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.


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. The Board does not typically consider shareholder nominees because it believes that its current nomination process is sufficient to identify directors who serve our best interests.


Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance


Our officers, directors and shareholders owning greater than ten percent of our shares are not required to comply with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own 10% or more of 1934 because we do not have 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 1934.1934, as amended, the reports required to be filed with respect to transactions in our common stock during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, 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.

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.




41




The board of directorsBoard 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 of directorsBoard 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 cash compensation.


Employment Agreements


OnEffective February 28, 2010, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its PEO. The agreement, which is for a five year term, provides for an initial base salary of $175,000 per year with a 3% annual increase thereafter (the “Base Salary”). The PEO 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 PEO 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 PEO 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 PEO 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 and PEO entered into an amendedAmended and restated employment agreementRestated Employment Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with Mr. Abajian,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 Chiefoutstanding 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 provides 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 is currently deferring his salary to conserve cash. Deferred wages due to the CEO amounted to $795,571 and $628,309 for the periods ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. On September 30, 2018, the Principal Executive Officer, restating that certainOffice signed an agreement with 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. This amount was reduced t $500,000 after the PEO converted $500,000 of deferred compensation into 17,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, deferred compensation due to the PEO were $345,571 and $795,571, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, $297,513 and $795,571, respectively, of these amounts were classified as a long-term liability.

On January 1, 2019, the CEO amended his employment agreement by and between parties aswith the Company for a term of February 28, 2010.


Pursuant toone year expiring December 31, 2019. The agreement primarily retains the terms of the Amended Agreement, Mr. Abajian shall serve asbut lowers the Company’s Chiefcompensation to $100,000 for the year. Effective July 1, 2019, the Principal Executive Officer foragreed to stop deferral of his salary at least through December 31, 2019 as a period of five years, commencing retroactively on February 28, 2010, and expiring on February 28, 2015 (the “Term”).  Upon conclusionresult of the Term, the Amended Agreement shall be automatically renewed for successive one year periods upon the same terms and conditions unless terminated by eitherfinancial situation of the parties in accordance with the Amended Agreement’s terms.


Mr. Abajian is to receiveCompany as a base salary in the amount of $175,000 per annum for year one, commencing on February 28, 2010, and shall increase at a rate of three percent (3%) per annum for each consecutive year after 2010, or at such rates as are approved from time to time by the Company’s board of directors.  In addition, Mr. Abajian is to receive an annual bonus equal to one-half percent (0.5%) based upon the Company’s annual net profit before taxes.  Mr. Abajian is also eligible to participate in the Company’s medical insurance plan, life insurance plan or any 401(k), pension or similar plans that are now or may be in the future established, for the general benefitresult of the Company’s senior executives.  Further, and pursuantfinancial condition. Effective January 1, 2020, the CEO’s salary was restated back to the terms of the Amended Agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Abajian 51 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, subject to certain increases.$175,000.


Stock-Based Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan


We have adopted an unfunded Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan to compensate our Chief Executive Officer.  Under this Plan, we are not required to reserve funds for compensation, and we are only obligated to pay compensation when and if funds are available.  Any amounts due but unpaid automatically accrue to deferred compensation.  The Plan has the option to be renewed annually at the discretion of our company.  While unfunded and non-recourse, for compliance with GAAP this is disclosed as an accrued expense on the balance sheet.


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.

At the time of the recapitalization, the Company was in the exploration development stage and was not engaged in any active business. The accounting rules for recapitalizations require that beginning October 19, 2009, the date of the recapitalization, the balance sheet reflects the consolidated assets and liabilities of Bergio International, Inc. and the equity accounts were recapitalized to reflect the newly capitalized company. The results of operations reflect the operations of Diamond, which became the operations of the Company, for all periods presented.  In February 2010, the Company sold all its shares in Diamond to an unrelated third party for $225,000 and recognized a gain from the sale of $225,000.

Correction of an Error - As of September 30, 2010, the Company corrected certain errors in prior period financial statements (corrected amounts - which reflects the 2010 1-for-12 reserve stock split) related to shares outstanding as of December 31, 2008 (2,547,972), and weighted average shares outstanding and net loss per share for2019, the year ended December 31, 2008 (2,714,868 and $(0.41)), the three months ended March 31, 2009 (2,570,003 and $(0.08)), and the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 (2,585,175 and $(0.05)) and (2,577,630 and $(0.12)). The prior period amounts had been retroactively presented to reflect our recapitalization as a resultresults of our share exchange agreement with Diamond Information Institute, Inc.  The correction had no effect on the previously reported Net Loss in the year ended December 31, 2008, the three months ended March 31, 2009, or the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.


The Company has evaluated the impact of the corrections to outstanding shares as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)operations for the years ended December 31, 20092019 and 20082018, and the affect upon the weighted average common shares outstanding and net loss per sharestatements of cash flows for the yearyears ended December 31, 2008,2019 and 2018.

[2]Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates -Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Risks and Uncertainties:

The Company’s operations are subject to a number of risks, including but not limited to changes in the general economy, demand for the Company’s products, and the success of its customers.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue isRecognition:

Revenues are recognized uponat the time of shipment of products to customers with the price to the buyer being fixed and determinable and collectability reasonably 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at December 31, 2019 and, 2018, as defined in FASB ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”, does not differ materially, except for the items discussed below, from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 for cash, accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable and loans payable approximate the fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Each reporting period we evaluate market conditions including available interest rates, credit spreads relative to our credit rating and liquidity in estimating the fair value of our debt. After considering such market conditions, we estimate that the fair value of debt approximates its carrying value.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounting for Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets arise from a variety of sources, the most significant being: a) tax losses that can be carried forward to be utilized against profits in future years; b) expenses recognized for financial reporting purposes but disallowed in the tax return until the associated cash flow occurs; and c) valuation changes of assets which need to be tax effected for book purposes but are deductible only when the valuation change is realized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse.  The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefit which is not more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, future taxable income is estimated, considering the realization of tax loss carryforwards. Valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can also be affected by changes to tax laws, changes to statutory tax rates and future taxable income levels. In the event it was determined that the Company would not be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, we would reduce such amounts through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made. Conversely, if we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net carrying amounts, we would decrease the recorded valuation allowance through an increase to income in the period in which that determination is made.

Income Tax Uncertainties:

The Company accounts for uncertainties in income taxes under ASC 740-10-50 which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740-10 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of its tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on its income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. The implementation of ASC 740-10 had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Despite the Company’s belief that its tax return positions are consistent with applicable tax laws, one or more positions may be challenged by taxing authorities. Settlement of any challenge can result in no change, a complete disallowance, or some partial adjustment reached through negotiations or litigation.

Interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if applicable, will be recognized as income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not incur any expense related to interest or penalties for income tax matters, and no such amounts were accrued as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - 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, 20102019 and 2009.December 31, 2018.

Accounts receivable are generated from sales of fine jewelry to retail outlets throughout the United States. At December 31, 20102019 and 2009,December 31, 2018, accounts receivable were substantially comprised of balances due from retailers.


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. The Company historically has been able to collect the accounts receivable balance during a period of nine months to a year. 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, 2010,2019 and 2009 an2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts of $35,787was $-0- and $86,407, respectively has been provided.$-0-, respectively.

Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivables.Risk:

Cash Held in Banks: The Company places itsmaintains cash with high credit qualitybalances at a financial institutions.institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to federally insured limits. At times balances may exceed FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

retailers. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the wide variety of customers and markets into which the Company'sCompany’s services are provided, as well as their dispersion across many different geographical areas. The Company has been expanding its brand into retail stores. These sales come with a lower degree of credit risk as these sales are made by cash or credit card. As is characteristic of the Company'sCompany’s business and of the jewelry industry generally, the Company extends its customers seasonal credit terms.  The carrying amount of receivables approximates fair value. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and believes its credit risk exposure on accounts receivable is limited. Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts has beenis recorded, for the years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009.if appropriate. The Company does not require collateral to support these financial instruments.


PropertyInventories:

Inventories consist primarily of finished goods, and Equipment and Depreciation - Property and equipment 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. The Company reviews the carrying cost of inventories by product to determine the adequacy of reserves for obsolescence. In accounting for inventories, the Company must make estimates regarding the estimated realizable value of inventory. The estimate is based, in part, on the Company’s forecasts of future sales and age of inventory.

Subsequent Events:

The Company evaluated subsequent events, which are events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2019 through the issuance of the accompanying financial statements.

When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminatedremoved from the respective accounts and anythe resulting gain or loss is reported within the Statements of Operationsincluded in the periodStatement of disposal.Operations.


Long-Lived Assets - In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,Assets:

Losses onasset. If such assets held for disposal are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized when management has approved and committed to a plan to disposeis measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets and the assets are available for disposal.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company follows guidance issued by the FASB on “Fair Value Measurements” for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  This guidance establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.


The FASB 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.  Additionally, the FASB requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.









BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

These inputs are prioritized below:


Level 1:

Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2:

Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions

Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates:

 

In addition, the FASB issued, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.  This guidance expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its qualifying financial instruments.


Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates - Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, in which the Company owns less than 20% or otherwise does not exercise significant influence, are stated at cost. At December 31, 20102019 and 2009,December 31, 2018, the Company had an investment in which the Company owned less than 1% interest in an unconsolidated affiliate and therefore the investment is carried at cost.



Equity-Based Compensation:








BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Equity-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for equity based compensation transactions with employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 718, “Compensation: Stock Compensation” (“Topic No. 718”). Topic No. 718 requires the recognition of the fair value of equity-based compensation in net income. The fair value of common stock issued for compensation is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of the Company’s equity instruments, other than common stocks, is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and elections including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. In addition, the calculation of equity-based compensation costs requires that the Company estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited during the vesting period. The fair value of equity-based awards granted to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the award and the Company elected to use the straight-line method for awards granted after the adoption of Topic No. 718.


The Company accounts for equity based transactions with non-employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“Topic No. 505-50”). Topic No. 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, which everwhichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to non-employees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, the Company recognizes an asset or expense in the same manner as if it was to receivepay cash for the goods or services instead of paying with or using the equity instrument.


Advertising and Promotional Costs - Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded as part of Selling Expenses in the Statement of Operations.  The total cost for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $168,000 and $44,000, respectively.


During the year, the Company prepays costs associated with trade shows which are recorded as Prepaid Expenses in the Balance Sheet and are charged to the Statement of Operations upon the trade shows being conducted. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately $31,000 and $61,000, respectively, of trade show expenses have been recorded.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Net (Loss) Income Taxes - The Company accounts forper Common Share:

Basic net (loss) income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 740 “Income Taxes” which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements. The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the entire deferred tax asset has been fully reserved because management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the net operating loss carry forwards will be realized in the future.


The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax position deemed material as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.  With few exceptions, the Company believes it is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state tax examinations by tax authorities for tax periods prior to 2007.  The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.  As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress nor has it had any federal or state examinations since inception.


Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share - Basic earnings per share includes no dilution andattributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including common stock equivalents, such as stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method.  Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and excludes the anti-dilutive effects of common stock equivalents.

Recently Adopted Authoritative Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective on January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and use the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elects the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. On adoption, the Company recognized additional operating lease liabilities of approximately $911,000 with corresponding ROU assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases.

In June 2018, the FASB, issued ASU No. 2018-07 to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The new guidance expands the scope of Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 718 to include share-based payments granted to nonemployees in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in an entity’s own operations and supersedes the guidance in ASC 505-50. The guidance is effective for public business entities in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period for which financial statements have not been issued, but not before an entity adopts ASC 606. This was adopted on January 1, 2019 and did not have a material impact on the financial position and results of operations.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes - simplifying the accounting for income taxes (Topic 740), which is meant to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendment also improves consistent application and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share

Net loss per share has been computed according to FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings available to common stockholders(loss) per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS represents net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding forduring a reporting period. Diluted EPS reflects the period. Dilutivepotential dilution that could occur if securities, including warrants and options, were converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of outstanding warrants, options, and/or conversions is reflected in earnings per share reflectby use of the potential dilutiontreasury stock method. In applying the treasury stock method for stock-based compensation arrangements, the assumed proceeds are computed as the sum of securities that could occur throughthe amount the employee must pay upon exercise. For the years ended December 31. 2019 and 2018, basic net loss per share equaled the diluted loss per share, since the effect of common shares potentially issuable upon exercise or conversion was anti-dilutive.  For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, 10,108,052 and 582,288 shares, respectively, issuable upon the exerciseconversion of stock options, warrants and convertible securities.  Equity instruments that may dilute earnings per sharedebt were not included in the future are listed in computation of diluted net loss because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Subsequent Events - The Company evaluated subsequent events, which are events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2010 through the issuance of the accompanying financial statements.


[3] New Authoritative Accounting Guidance


In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements.  ASU 2010-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures which are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010.  The adoption of ASU 2010-06 in the first quarter of 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.


Management does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have an effect on the accompanying financial statements.

BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Asher is entitled to have all shares issued upon conversion of the above notes listed upon each national securities exchange or other automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of the Company common stock are then listed.


On November 16, 2009, the Company issued a 7% Secured Convertible Debenture (the “November 2009 Debenture”) in the amount of $25,000 to Tangiers Capital, LLC. The principal and accrued interest is payable on August 16, 2010 or such earlier date as defined in the agreement. Upon issuance, the November 2009 Debenture, including any accrued interest, was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of 80% of the average of the two lowest trading prices, determined on the then current trading market for the Company’s common stock, for the ten trading days prior to conversion, at the option of the holder. The holder is entitled to “piggyback” registration rights on shares of common stock issued upon conversion.


During the year ended December 31, 2010, $18,750 of the convertible note was converted into 290,144 shares of common stock.  At December 31, 2010, the balance of the note of $6,250 is past due.


The Company accounts for the fair value of the conversion features in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging; Embedded Derivatives” (“Topic No. 815-15”). Topic No. 815-15 requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the conversion features as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s convertible debt. The Company is required to carry the embedded derivative on its balance sheet at fair value and account for any unrealized change in fair value as a component of results of operations. The Company valued the embedded derivative using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The fair value upon issuance of the February 2010 Note, March 2010 Note, April 2010 Note, and May 2010 Note, $23,500, $27,513, $40,362 and $26,961, respectively, was recorded as a derivative liability and a discount to the convertible debt.  The fair value upon issuance of the November 2009 Debenture, $10,890, was recorded as a derivative liability and a discount to the convertible debt in 2009.  Amortization of debt discount amounted to $120,230 and $1,815 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The derivative liability is revalued each reporting period using the Black-Scholes model. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded an unrealized gain from the change in the fair value of the derivative liability of $60,206 and $1,032, respectively.  Convertible debt as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, is shown net of debt discount of $7,181 and $9,075, respectively.


The Black-Scholes model was valued with the following inputs:


Stock Price - The Stock Price was based on the average closing price of the Company’s stock as of the Valuation Date. Stock Prices ranged from $0.51 to $0.01 in the period 1-01-2010 through 12-31-2010.


Variable Conversion Price - The variable conversion price was based on: (i) 80% of the average of the 2 lowest Stock Prices out of the last 10 trading days prior to the Valuation Date (Tangiers); and (ii) 62.5% of the average of the 3 lowest Stock Prices out of the last 10 trading days prior to the Valuation Date (Asher).










BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Time to Maturity - The time to maturity was determined based on the length of time between the Valuation Date and the maturity of the debt.  Time to maturity ranged from 9 months to 0 months in the period 1-01-2010 through 12-31-2010.


Risk Free Rate - The risk free rate was based on the Treasury Note rates as of the Valuation Dates with term commensurate with the remaining term of the debt. The risk free rate ranged from 0.27% to 0.61% in the period 1-01-2010 through 12-31-3010.


Volatility - The volatility was based on the historical volatility of three comparable companies as historical volatility of the Company was not useful in developing the expected volatility due to the limited trading history of its stock. The average volatility for the comparable companies ranged from 61.82% to 56.80% in the period 1-01-2010 through 12-31-2010.

BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



At December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $660,000 of federal net operating tax loss carryforwards expiring at various dates through 2030.  The Tax Reform Act of 1986 enacted a complex set of rules which limits a company's ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards in periods following an ownership change. These rules define an ownership change as a greater than 50 percent point change in stock ownership within a defined testing period which is generally a three-year period. As a result of stock which may be issued by us from time to time and the conversion of warrants, options or the result of other changes in ownership of our outstanding stock, the Company may experience an ownership change and consequently our utilization of net operating loss carryforwards could be significantly limited.


Based upon the net losses historically incurred and, the prospective global economic conditions, management believes that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized and has provided a valuation allowance of 100% of the deferred tax asset. The valuation allowance (decreased) increased by approximately ($127,000) and $154,000 in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.


[10] Stockholders' Equity


On February 23, 2010, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized common shares.  The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were 11,159,574 and 4,308,625 common shares issued and outstanding, respectively. In October 2009, the Company effected a 12 for 1 forward split of its common stock. Effective December 27, 2010, the Company implemented a 1-for-12 reverse stock split.  All share and per share data has been retroactively adjusted to reflect such stock splits.


On October 19, 2009, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), with Diamond Information Institute, Inc. (“Diamond”), a New Jersey corporation. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding common stock of Diamond, and Diamond became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition, the Company acquired all Diamond’s assets and liabilities effective as of the date of the Exchange Agreement. Per the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued 2,585,175 shares of the Company’s common stock to the shareholders of Diamond (approximately .21884 shares of Company common stock for each share of Diamond common stock), representing approximately 60% of the Company’s aggregate issued and outstanding common stock following the closing of the Exchange Agreement and the Stock Agreement (defined below). The acquisition of Diamond was treated as a recapitalization, and the business of Diamond became the business of the Company. At the time of the recapitalization, the Company was in the exploration development stage and was not engaged in any active business. The accounting rules for recapitalizations require that beginning October 19, 2009, the date of the recapitalization, the balance sheet reflects the consolidated assets and liabilities of Bergio International, Inc. and the equity accounts were recapitalized to reflect the newly capitalized company. The results of operations reflect the operations of Diamond which became the operations of the Company for all periods presented.  In February 2010, the Company sold all its shares in Diamond to an unrelated third party

(“Diamond”), a New Jersey corporation.  Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding common stock of Diamond, and Diamond became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  In addition, the Company acquired all of Diamond’s assets and liabilities effective as of the date of the Exchange Agreement.  Per the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued 2,585,175 shares of the Company’s common stock to the shareholders of Diamond (approximately 0.21884 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Diamond common stock), representing approximately 60% of the Company’s aggregate issued and outstanding common stock following the closing of the Exchange Agreement and the Stock Agreement (defined below).  The acquisition of Diamond was treated as a recapitalization and the business of Diamond became the business of the Company.  At the time of the recapitalization, the Company was in the exploration development stage and was not engaged in any active business.  The accounting rules for recapitalizations require that beginning October 19, 2009, the date of the recapitalization, the balance sheet reflects the consolidated assets and liabilities of Bergio and the equity accounts were recapitalized to reflect the newly capitalized company.  The results of operations reflect the operations of Diamond, which became the operations of the Company, for all periods presented.  In February 2010, the Company sold all its shares in Diamond to an unrelated third party for $225,000 and recognized a gain from the sale of $225,000.


In conjunction with the Exchange Agreement, on October 20, 2009, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Agreement”) with certain stockholders of the Company (the “former stockholders”).  Pursuant to the Stock Agreement, the Company spun out its 100% interest in Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc., an Alberta, Canada Corporation (“Alba Canada”) to the former stockholders for nominal consideration and the cancellation of all of the shares of common stock of the Company then owned by the former stockholders.  As a result, a total of 3,310,000 shares were cancelled.


Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements as of September 30, 2011, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for interim financial statement presentation and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statement presentation.  In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2011, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.  The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Other significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 of the audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report Form 10-K.

BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)



Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized upon the shipment of products to customers with the price to the buyer being fixed and determinable and collectability reasonably assured.


Inventories - Inventory consists primarily of finished goods and is valued 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.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company follows guidance issued by the FASB on “Fair Value Measurements” for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  This guidance establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.


The FASB 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.  Additionally, the FASB requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.


These inputs are prioritized below:


·

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


·

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.


·

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.


The Company discloses the estimated fair value for all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value.  As of September 30, 2011, the fair value of short-term financial instruments including cash overdraft, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates book value due to their short-term maturity.  The fair value of property and equipment is estimated to approximate its net book value.  The fair value of debt obligations, other than convertible debt obligations, approximates their face values due to their short-term maturities and/or the variable rates of interest associated with the underlying obligations.


The fair value of the Company’s convertible debt is measured on a recurring basis (see Note 6).


The following table presents fair value measurements for major categories of the Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

In addition, the FASB issued “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.”  This guidance expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its qualifying financial instruments.


Subsequent Events - The Company evaluated subsequent events, which are events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2011, through the issuance of the accompanying financial statements.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - There are several new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB.  Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company.  Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Effective January 2011, the Company entered into a 7% convertible promissory note agreement (the “January 2011 Note”) in the amount of $25,000 with Tangiers Capital, LLC (“Tangiers”) for the settlement of an accrued termination fee related to the securities purchase agreement with Tangiers.  The principal and accrued interest is payable on June 18, 2012, or such earlier date as defined in the agreement.  The note, including any accrued interest, is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of 80% of the lowest trading price, determined on the then current trading market for the Company’s common stock, for the ten trading days prior to conversion, at the option of the holder.  In March and April 2011, the convertible note and accrued interest was converted into 1,965,254 shares of the Company’s common stock.

In May 2011, the Company issued a 15% convertible note (the “May 2011 Note”) in the amount of $50,000 to Strategic Business Initiatives, LLC (“Strategic”).  The principal and accrued interest is payable on November 30, 2011, or such earlier date as defined in the note.  The Company must give 10 days’ notice to Strategic about its intent to prepay the note.   During the ten day period, prior to the Company’s prepayment, Strategic has the option to convert all or a portion of the principal and/or accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of 80% of the five day average closing price immediately prior to the conversion date.


The Company accounts for the fair value of the conversion features in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging; Embedded Derivatives” (“Topic No. 815-15”).  Topic No. 815-15 requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the conversion features as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s convertible debt.  The Company is required to carry the embedded derivative on its balance sheet at fair value and account for any unrealized change in fair value as a component of results of operations.  The Company valued the embedded derivative using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  The fair values upon issuance of the January 2011 Note of $12,478, the April 2011 Note of $32,704, May 2011 Note of $16,570, July 2011 Note of $30,962, August 2011 Note of $32,500, and the September 2011 Note of $21,507 were recorded as a derivative liability and a discount to the convertible debt.  Amortization of debt discount amounted to $62,323 and $85,184 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The derivative liability is revalued each reporting period using the Black-Scholes model.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded an unrealized gain from the change in the fair value of the derivative liability of $123,934 and $57,431, respectively.  Convertible debt as of September 30, 2011 ($202,500) and December 31, 2010 ($119,250), is shown net of debt discount in the amount of $91,579 and $7,181, respectively.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $550,000 of federal net operating tax loss carryforwards expiring at various dates through 2030.  The Tax Reform Act of 1986 enacted a complex set of rules which limits a company’s ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards in periods following an ownership change. These rules define an ownership change as a greater than 50 percent point change in stock ownership within a defined testing period which is generally a three-year period.  As a result of stock which may be issued by us from time to time and the conversion of warrants, options or the result of other changes in ownership of our outstanding stock, the Company may experience an ownership change and consequently our utilization of net operating loss carryforwards could be significantly limited.


Based upon the net losses historically incurred and, the prospective global economic conditions, management believes that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized and has provided a valuation allowance of 100% of the deferred tax asset.  The valuation allowance increased decreased by approximately $45,000 and $127,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively.


[9] Stockholders’ Equity


The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share and 51 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were 24,857,413 and 11,159,574 common shares issued and outstanding, respectively.  In October 2009, the Company effected a 12-for-1 forward split of its common stock.  Effective December 27, 2010, the Company implemented a 1-for-12 reverse common stock split.  All share and per share data has been retroactively adjusted to reflect such stock splits.  Effective September 1, 2011, the Company designated and issued 51 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 to its Chief Executive Officer (see Note 11).  The Series A Preferred Stock pays no dividends and has no conversion rights.  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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)



Effective September 1, 2011, the Company and CEOPEO 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 provides 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 MarchDecember 31, 2012, he would reduce his Base CompensationSalary to $100,000.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, deferred compensation due to the PEO were $345,571 and $795,571, respectively.

Note 10. Income Taxes

The recognized deferred tax asset is based upon the expected utilization of its benefit from future taxable income. The Company has federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $5,025,000 as of December 31, 2019, expiring through various dates through 2036.

The foregoing amounts are management’s estimates and the actual results could differ from those estimates. Future profitability in this competitive industry depends on continually obtaining and fulfilling new profitable sales agreements and modifying products.  The inability to increase sales could reduce estimates of future profitability, which could affect the Company’s ability to realize the deferred tax assets. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are summarized as follows:

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Reform includes a number of changes in existing tax law impacting businesses including a permanent reduction in the U.S. federal statutory rate from 34% to 21%, effective on January 1, 2018. Under U.S. GAAP, changes in tax rates and tax law are accounted for in the period of enactment and deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the enacted tax rate. The rate reconciliation includes the Company’s assessment of the accounting under the Tax Reform and is based on information that was available to management at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared.

Based upon the net losses historically incurred and, the prospective global economic conditions, management believes that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized and has provided a valuation allowance of 100% of the deferred tax asset.

A reconciliation of the income tax (benefit) provision at the statutory Federal tax rate of 21% and 321%, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 to the income tax (benefit) provision recognized in the financial statements is as follows:

Business Interruption

The Company may be impacted by public health crises beyond its control. This could disrupt its operations and negatively impact sales of its products. The Company’s customer and, suppliers may experience similar disruption. In December 2019, a novel strain of the Coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has evolved into a pandemic. This situation and preventative or protective actions that governments have taken to counter the effects of the pandemic have resulted in a period of business disruption, including delays in shipments of products and raw materials. COVID-19 has spread to over 175 countries, including the United States, and efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have intensified. To the extent the impact of COVID-19 continues or worsens, the demand for the Company’s products may be negatively impacted. COVID-19 has also impacted the Company’s sales efforts as it has been forced to shut down its two New Jersey retail stores. The Company’s ability to promote sales through promotional activities has also been constrained. Trade shows and sales conferences, major events used to introduce and sell the Company’s products, have been postponed indefinitely. The length and severity of the pandemic could also affect the Company’s wholesale sales, which could in turn result in reduced sales and a lower gross margin.

Note 12. Litigation

The Company is currently not involved in any litigation that it believes 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.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had four customers, each over 5% of sales, which accounted for 32% of total sales. No other no single customer accounted for over 5% or more of our annual sales.  During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company had one customer that accounted for 6% of total sales. No other no single customer accounted for over 5% or more of our annual sales.

As of December 31, 2019 accounts receivable, net amounted to only $85,711 and two customers represented 84% of this balance. As of December 31, 2018 accounts receivable, net amounted to only $39,354 and three customers represented 91% of this balance.

Note 14. Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and prescribes disclosures about fair value measurements.

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



BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Note 14. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

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

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

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

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

The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Market approach - Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities

Income approach - Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, including present value techniques, option-pricing models and excess earnings method

Cost approach - Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost)

The carrying value of the Company’s borrowings is a reasonable estimate of its fair value as borrowings under the Company’s credit facility have variable rates that reflect currently available terms and conditions for similar debt.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. As required by FASB ASC 820, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has no assets or liabilities that are required to be classified.

In addition, the FASB issued, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This guidance expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its qualifying financial instruments.

Note 15. Operating Leases - Lease Liability

The Company leases certain office and manufacturing facilities and equipment.

Currently, we lease a 1,730 square feet in Fairfield, NJ for our offices. The Company’s officelease expired in August 31, 2010, and manufacturing facilities are currently leasedis being renewed on a month to month basis at $1,800 per month.month-to-month basis.


The equipment lease agreements are non-cancelable and expire at various dates through 2011.  All these leases are classified as operating leases.


Rent expense for the Company's operating leases for year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to approximately $53,919 and $30,218, respectively.

The Company leases retail space at two different locations. One lease has monthly payments from $1,350 to $1,665 which expires in May 2024. 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 rates 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. The Company used a discount rate of 10% at December 31, 2019.

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.

BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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. 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.

In September 2019, Bergio International, Inc. filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate a 1-for-10,000 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. All share and per share data has been adjusted to reflect such stock split.

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary consisting of normal recurring adjustments to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2020, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include disclosures normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. The December 31, 2019 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of that date. Accordingly, the financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 15, 2020 (the “Annual Report”).

Impact of the COVID-19 Coronavirus

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, which causes the disease known as COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID-19 coronavirus has spread globally. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic and the U.S. government imposed travel restrictions on travel between the United States, Europe and certain other countries. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly negatively affected the global economy, significantly disrupted global supply chains, and created significant disruption of the financial and retail markets, including a significant disruption in consumer demand jewelry and accessories. 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.

Note 2 - Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.



BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 2 - Going Concern (continued)

The Company has suffered recurring losses, and has an accumulated deficit of $13,131,356 as of March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $562,495 in convertible debentures.  At March 31, 2020, the Company also had a stockholders’ deficit of $1,912,517. 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.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there have been no other material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report.

The Company evaluated subsequent events, which are events or transactions that occurred after March 31, 2020 through the issuance of the accompanying financial statements.

Note 4 - Net Loss per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could occur through the effect of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic net loss per share equaled the diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, since the effect of shares potentially issuable upon the exercise or conversion was anti-dilutive. Equity instruments that may dilute earnings per share in the future are listed in Note 7 below. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, 31,768,560 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and conversion of convertible debt were not included in the computation of diluted net loss because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, 616,288 shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt were not included in the computation of diluted net loss because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. In September 2019, Bergio International, Inc. filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate a 1-for-10,000 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. All share and per share data has been adjusted to reflect such stock split.

Note 8 - Advances from Principal Executive Officer and Accrued Interest (continued)

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 provides 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.

Note 9 - Litigation

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.

Note 10 - Operating Lease Liability

The Company leases retail space at two different locations. One lease has monthly payments from $1,350 to $1,665 which expire in May 2024. 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 rates 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. The Company used a discount rate of 10% at March 31, 2020.

The following table reconciles the undiscounted future minimum lease payments (displayed by year in aggregate) under non-cancelable operating leases with terms more than one year to the total operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020:
