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.


8


 

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.

 

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, 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 5 - New Authoritative Accounting Guidance

Note 6 - Convertible Debt

 

Fife, Typenex and Iliad

 

In December 2012, the Company entered into a $325,000 convertible note with Fife consisting of three tranches to be drawn down with the first tranche totaling $125,000, including $25,000 in loan costs and additional two tranches totaling $200,000. 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 Company’s 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. During 2013, the conversion price was fixed at $0.005 per share. As of December 31, 2012, the Company only drew down the first tranche totaling $125,000.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the derivative liability was $1,609,602 and $396,220, respectively.

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.

 

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. This amount was reduced to $500,000 after the PEO converted $500,000 of deferred compensation into 17,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, deferred compensation due to the PEO were $370,571 and $345,571, respectively. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $295,173 and $297,513, respectively, of these amounts were classified as a long-term liability.

 

On January 1, 2019, the CEO amended his employment agreement with the Company for a term of one year expiring December 31, 2019.

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:

Note 11 - Subsequent Events

 

COVID-19

 

The Company’s operations have been affected by the recent and ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which in March 2020, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it 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, inability of customers to pay outstanding accounts receivable due and owing to the Company as they limit or shut down their businesses,  customers seeking relief or  extended payment plans relating to accounts receivable due and owing to the Company, unavailability of products and supplies used in operations, and the decline in value of assets held by the Company, including property and equipment.

 

PPP Loan

 

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (the “CARES Act”), which, among other things, outlines the provisions of the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”). The Company determined that it met the criteria to be eligible to obtain a loan under the PPP because, among other reasons, in light of the COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainty of economic conditions related thereto, the loan was considered necessary to support the Company’s ongoing operations and retain all its employees. In addition, President Trump signed into law the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act on April 24, 2020, which increased funding provided by the CARES Act. On April 17, 2020 the Company issued a promissory note (the “Note”) to Columbia Bank in the principal aggregate amount of $18,607.50 (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). On June 5, 2020 the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act was signed into law and extended the program until December 31, 2020.

Note 11 - Subsequent Events (continued)

 

Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loan granted under the program. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. No assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part. The PPP Loan has a two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 0.98% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for six months after the date of disbursement. The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Based on the June 5, 2020 the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act, certain changes will need to be made to the original Note, based on the new law.

Forward Looking Statements

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports (collectively, the “Filings”) filed by Bergio International, Inc. (“Bergio” or the “Company”) from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof.  When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on May 15, 2020, relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

 

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.  Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

The Bergio brand is our most important asset. The Bergio brand is associated with high-quality, handcrafted and individually designed pieces with European sensibility, Italian craftsmanship and a bold flair for the unexpected.  Bergio, is one of the most coveted brands of fine jewelry. Established in 1995, Bergio’s signature innovative design, coupled with extraordinary diamonds and precious stones, earned the company recognition as a highly sought-after purveyor of rare and exquisite treasures from around the globe.

 

When designer and 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 woman’s charm while never overpowering her.

 

It is our intention to establish Bergio as a holding company for the purpose of establishing retails stores worldwide. Our branded product lines are products and/or collections designed by our designer and CEO Berge Abajian and will be the centerpiece of our retail stores. We also intend to complement our own quality-designed jewelry with other products and our own specially-designed handbags. This is in line with our strategy and belief that a brand name can create an association with innovation, design and quality which helps add value to the individual products as well as facilitate the introduction of new products.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

Plan of Operation (continued)

 

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.

 

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.

 

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 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 have been 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

Results of Operations

 

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. 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.

 

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 uncertainty.

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 decreased $61,716 (45.0%) to $75,393 as compared to $137,109 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.  This decrease is mostly attributed impact on the economy and consumer spending as a result of the pandemic.

Gross profit decreased $49,076 (50%) to $49,087 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $98,163 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. This decrease primarily is a result of the decrease in sales.

Results of Operations (continued)

 

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses

 

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $67,883 (42.7%) to $228,103 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $160,220 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This increase in mainly attributed to higher consulting expenses offset partially by lower depreciation and commission expenses. During the quarter the Company incurred $131,180 of consulting expense to provide brand awareness for the Company’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 and these expense are not expected to be significant for the remainder of the year.

 

Loss from Operations

 

As a result of the above, we had a loss from operations of $179,016 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to a loss from operations of $62,057 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Other Expense

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 the Company had other expense of $1,291,855 as compared to other expense of $28,791 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This increase is primarily attributed to change in fair value of derivatives in the amount of $1,213,382.

 

Net Loss

 

As a result of the above, we had a net loss $1,470,901 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to net loss of $90,848 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

At March 31, 2020 the Company had negative working capital of $1,548,904 as compared to negative working capital of $257,106 at December 31, 2019. This decrease in working capital is primarily attributed to an increase in the derivative liability at March 31, 2020 as a result of the higher stock price at March 31, 2020.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s principal sources and uses of funds were as follows:

 

Cash used in operating activities: For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company used $11,210 in cash for operations as compared to using $8,060 in cash for operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease in cash used in operations is primarily attributed to increase in inventory and prepaid expenses offset mostly by the lower non-cash operating loss and the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

 

Cash (used in) provided by investing activities: For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company used no cash for investing activities as compared to using $3,100 of cash in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as a result of the small purchase of capital assets.

 

Cash (used in) provided by financing activities: Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $11,580 as compared to providing $11,160 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease is primarily the result of an increase in payments to the Principal Executive Officer for amounts due to him.

 

Our indebtedness is comprised of loans payable, 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

 

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 Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2020, total convertible debt was $562,495, net of debt discount of $126,703 at March 31, 2020

 

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.

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 Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
