NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
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 corporations name was changed to Bergio International, Inc. 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.
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, 2018, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, and statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. 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, 2017 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Companys 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 Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 22, 2018 (the Annual Report).
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.
The Company has suffered recurring losses, and current liabilities exceeded current assets by $613,253, as of March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had $423,048 in convertible debentures which are currently due and the Company is currently negotiating terms with the holders of these debentures. At March 31, 2018, the Company also had a stockholders deficit of $389,290. 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.

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, 2018, there have been no other material changes in the Companys significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the Companys Annual Report.
The Company evaluated subsequent events, which are events or transactions that occurred after March 31, 2018 through the issuance of the accompanying financial statements.
Note 4 - Income (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, 2018 and 2017, 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 6 below. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, 6,423,092,857 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, 8,253,823,626 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.
The following table sets forth the computation of earnings per share:

5 - New Authoritative Accounting Guidance
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and create common revenue recognition guidance between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The core principle of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under previous guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date, deferring the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year to interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was also permitted as of the original effective date (interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016) and full or modified retrospective application was permitted. Subsequently, the FASB issued a number of ASU's amending ASU 2014-09 and providing further guidance related to revenue recognition, which management evaluated. The effective date and transition requirements for these amendments are the same as ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14. Management adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements is as follows:
The Company's revenue is primarily generated from the sale of finished products to customers (primarily through the retail, e-commerce or wholesale channels). The Company's performance obligations underlying such sales, and the timing of revenue recognition related thereto, remain substantially unchanged following the adoption of this ASU.
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern to provide guidance about managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance requires management to assess whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. When management identifies such conditions or events, a footnote disclosure is required to disclose their nature, as well as managements plans to alleviate the substantial doubt to continue as a going concern. The standard became effective for our fiscal year end 2017 and did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 6 - Bank Lines of Credit
At December 31, 2017, an amount of $323,855 was reclassified from Bank lines of credit and $2,000 from accounts payable and accrued liabilities to Advances from principal executive officer and accrued interest to reflect the guaranty of these loans by the principal executive officer. The Company had no outstanding credit card at March 31 2018, which was fully paid during the first quarter of 2018. Bank lines of credit consist of the following:
| March 31, |
| December 31, | ||
| 2018 |
| 2017 | ||
The Company had one unsecured credit card; minimum payments of principal and interest are due monthly at the credit cards annual interest rate. March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the interest rate charged was approximately 9.3%. | $ | -- |

The note bears a 5% annual interest rate and matures eighteen months from the date of issuance. The note is convertible into shares of the Companys common stock based on 70% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of the common stock for the proceeding 15 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the conversion.

On February 11, 2013, April 5, 2013, April 23, 2013, and July 1, 2013, the Company drew down an additional $250,000.

On October 17, 2014, the Company entered into a financing arrangement with Iliad to provide additional financing in the amount of up to $450,000 through the issuance of a Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the Note). The Company agreed to cover Iliads legal, accounting and other related fees in the amount of $5,000, which is included in the principal balance of the Note.

Note 9 - Advances from Principal Executive Officer and Accrued Interest (continued)
Effective February 28, 2010, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its CEO. 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 CEO is also entitled to certain bonuses based on net profits before taxes and other customary benefits, as defined in the agreement. In addition, since it is understood that the Company is employing the CEO during a time of economic decline throughout the U.S. and at times and from time to time, the Company may not be in a position to pay the full amount of Base Salary owed the CEO it is understood and agreed to by the Board, that as long as the Company is unable to pay the CEO the full amount of his Base Salary that the Board shall issue to him, from time to time, an amount of shares that will allow him to remain in possession of fifty-one percent (51%) of the Companys then outstanding shares of common stock. Such issuances shall be made to the CEO at any time when his total share holdings are reduced to an amount less than fifty-one percent (51%) as a result of issuance of shares of common stock made on behalf of the Company.
Effective September 1, 2011, the Company 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 $669,295 and $628,309 for the periods ended March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
The Company is in process of extending this agreement.

(Bergio or the Company) from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Companys management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Companys management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, future, intend, plan, or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Companys management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the Risk Factors section of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on October 22, 2018, relating to the Companys industry, the Companys operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require managements judgment in its application. There are also areas in which managements judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Plan of Operation
The Bergio brand is our most important asset. The Bergio brand is associated with high-quality, handcrafted and individually designed pieces with European sensibility, Italian craftsmanship and a bold flair for the unexpected. Bergio, is one of the most coveted brands of fine jewelry. Established in 1995, Bergios signature innovative design, coupled with extraordinary diamonds and precious stones, earned the company recognition as a highly sought-after purveyor of rare and exquisite treasures from around the globe.
When designer and CEO, Berge Abajian, creates a collection, he looks well beyond the drawing board. Berge focuses on the woman who will ultimately wear his pieces, bringing to creation a magnificent piece of jewelry that reflects the beauty and vitality a woman possesses. Bergio creations are a seamless blend of classic elegance and subtle flair, adding to a womans charm while never overpowering her.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Plan of Operation (continued)
It is our intention to establish Bergio as a holding company for the purpose of establishing retails stores worldwide. Our branded product lines are products and/or collections designed by our designer and CEO Berge Abajian and will be the centerpiece of our retail stores. We also intend to complement our own quality-designed jewelry with other products and our own specially-designed handbags. This is in line with our strategy and belief that a brand name can create an association with innovation, design and quality which helps add value to the individual products as well as facilitate the introduction of new products.
It is our intention to open elegant stores in high-end areas and provide excellent service in our stores which will be staffed with knowledgeable professionals.
We also intend to sell our products on a wholesale basis to limited customers.
We have spent over $3 million in branding the Bergio name through tradeshows, trade advertising, national advertising and billboard advertising since launching the line in 1995.
Our products consist of a wide range of unique styles and designs made from precious metals such as, gold, platinum, and Karat gold, as well as diamonds and other precious stones. We currently design and produce approximately 100 to 150 product styles. Current retail prices for our products range from $400 to $200,000. We have manufacturing control over our line as a result of having a manufacturing facility in New Jersey as well as subcontracts with facilities located in Italy.
On March 5, 2014, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary called Crown Luxe, Inc. in the State of Delaware (Crown Luxe). Crown Lux was established to operate the Companys first retail store, which was opened in Bergen County, New Jersey in the fourth quarter of 2014.
During the fall of 2018, we will opening 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 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.

Results of Operations (continued)
Sales
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased $19,431 (42.0 %) to $65,669, as compared to $46,238 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This increase is primarily attributed to an increase in retail sales as a result of the improvement in our Bergen County New Jersey store. The increase in sales in the Bergen County New Jersey store is the result of establishing the Bergio brand in the area. The Company intends to concentrate on its domestic operations and explore additional opportunities to expand its business.
In November 2018, the Company will be opening its second retail store at the Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City New Jersey.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased $7,029 to $12,758, as compared to $19,787 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This decrease primarily is a result of the change in sales mix. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, our gross profit as a percentage of sales was 19.4% as compared to a gross profit as a percentage of sales of 42.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. It is our expectation that gross profit as a percentage of sales will improve by the end of the year as a result of the increase in volume as a result of the opening of the new store and the selling of higher margin pieces.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses
Total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $28,770 (20.7%) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $110,130, as compared to $138,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as a result of lower professional fees. This decrease is also due to cost-saving measures as a result of the general decline in business.
Loss from Operations
As a result of the above, we had a loss from operations of $97,372 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to a loss from operations of $119,113 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Other Income (Expense)
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had Other Expense of $27,462 as compared to Other Expense of $10,419 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily as a result of the gain on the change in the fair value of derivatives that occurred in the prior year that did not occur in the current year. ,
Net Loss
As a result of the above, we had a net loss of $124,834 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to a net loss of $129,532 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Working Capital |
| $ | (613,253) |
| $ | (529,344) |
| $ | (83,909) |
Our working capital deficit decreased $83,909. This decrease is primarily attributed to lower accounts receivable and cash balances.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had a net decrease in cash of $21,721. The Companys principal sources and uses of funds were as follows:
Cash used in operating activities: For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company used $16,661 in cash for operations as compared to using $17,326 in cash for operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This modest decrease in cash used in operations is primarily attributed to the decrease in accounts receivable and the lower operating loss offset partially by the decrease in change of accounts payable and accrued liabilities from the previous year and the increase in inventories.
Cash used in financing activities: Net cash used in by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $5,060 as compared to using $4,336 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This slight increase is primarily the result of repayments of bank credit lines offset mostly by an increase in advances from the Principal Executive Officer.
Our indebtedness is comprised of various bank credit lines, convertible debt, advances from a stockholder/officer and credit cards intended to provide capital for the ongoing manufacturing of our jewelry line, in advance of receipt of the payment from our retail distributors.
Bank Lines of Credit and Notes Payable
At December 31, 2017, an amount of $323,855 was reclassified from Bank lines of credit and $2,000 from accounts payable and accrued liabilities to Advances from principal executive officer and accrued interest to reflect the guaranty of these loans by the principal executive officer. The Company had no outstanding credit card at March 31 2018, which was fully paid during the first quarter of 2018.
Convertible Debt
From time to time the Company enters into certain financing agreements for convertible debt. For the most part, the Company settles these obligations with the Companys common stock. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding convertible debt in the amount of $423,048.
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.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months (continued)
The Company has suffered recurring losses, and current liabilities exceeded current assets by $613,253, as of March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had $423,048 in convertible debentures which are currently due and the Company is currently negotiating terms with the holders of these debentures. At March 31, 2018, the Company also had a stockholders deficit of $389,290. 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.

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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Principal Executive Officer (PEO) and Principal Financial Officer (PFO), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management designed the disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our PEO and PFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, the PEO and PFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
