Note 1 - COMPANY AND BACKGROUND | Note 1 COMPANY AND BACKGROUND Overview Marizyme, Inc., a Nevada corporation formerly known as GBS Enterprises Incorporated (the Company, Marizyme, GBS, GBSX, MRZM,, we, us, our or similar expressions), conducted its primary business through its majority owned subsidiary, GBS Software AG (GROUP), a German-based public-company. By December 31, 2016, we sold the controlling interest in GROUP and other subsidiaries, keeping only a minority interest in GROUP. On March 21, 2018, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary named Marizyme, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and merged with it, effectively changing the Companys name to Marizyme, Inc. On June 1, 2018, we exchanged the shares of GROUP and all the intercompany assets and liabilities for 100% of the shares of X-Assets Enterprises, Inc, a Nevada Corporation. As part of a type-D business restructuring on September 5, 2018, we then distributed the X-Assets shares to our own shareholders on a 1 for 1 basis. Marizyme refocused on the life sciences and seeks technologies to acquire. On September 12, 2018 we consummated an asset acquisition with ACB Holding AB, Reg. No. 559119-5762, a Swedish corporation to acquire all right, title and interest in their Krillase technology in exchange for 16.98 Million shares of Common Stock. Krillase is a naturally occurring enzyme that acts to break protein bonds and has applications in dental care, wound healing and thrombosis. The Companys common stock was historically quoted on the OTC Markets OTCQB under the ticker symbol MRZM. However, because the Company failed to file its 2014 Annual Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Companys common stock since that time has been quoted on the OTC Pink sheets. The Company Filed a Form 10 with the SEC on September 12, 2018 and is now current with its SEC periodic filings. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2019, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations and had accumulated losses of $29,990,088 since its inception, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management is in the process of executing a strategy based upon a new strategic direction in the life sciences space. We have several technologies in the commercialization phase and in development. We are seeking acquisitions of biotechnology assets in support of this direction. There can be no assurances that management will be successful in executing this strategy. |
