Except for historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, statements regarding our business strategy, future revenues and anticipated costs and expenses. Such forward-looking statements include, among others, those statements including the words expects, anticipates, intends, believes and similar language. Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, our business reliance on third parties to provide us with technology, our ability to integrate and manage acquired technology, assets, companies and personnel, changes in market condition, the volatile and intensely competitive environment in the business sectors in which we operate, rapid technological change, and our dependence on key and scarce employees in a competitive market for skilled personnel. These factors should not be considered exhaustive; we undertake no obligation to release publicly the results of any future revisions we may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, as well as those discussed in the section Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances taking place after the date of this document.
Item 1. Business.
Company Overview
We were originally formed as Montrose Ventures, Inc. in the State of Delaware on May 25, 1989. On April 23, 1996, our name was changed to Java Group, Inc., which tried and failed to start a chain of coffee bars. On September 1, 2004, our name was changed to Consolidated General Corp., and under that name the company attempted to buy tier 2 and 3 professional sports teams, including the Vancouver Ravens lacrosse team and the San Diego Soccers soccer team. On August 7, 2007, our name was changed to Goldcorp Holdings Co. On October 15, 2010, our name was changed to GoldLand Holdings Co.
On March 22, 2016, the board of directors of the Registrant, pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, determined it was in the best interest of the Registrant that the name of the Registrant should be changed to Bravo Multinational Incorporated, to reflect its new business, which is the purchase and leasing of gaming equipment. The change of name was effective upon compliance with all regulatory requirements mandated by FINRA. Further, as a result of the change of the Registrant's name the trading symbol for the shares of the Registrant's common stock has been changed to BRVO. Registrant's CUSIP identifier has been changed to 10568F109.
The Registrant filed a Form 8-K with the SEC on April 7, 2016, announcing the change of name, trading symbol, and CUSIP identifier.
On January 16, 2017, The Board of Directors of the Company unanimously approved an amendment to the Companys Articles of Incorporation in order to effect a plan of recapitalization that provides for a one-for-three hundred (1-for-300) reverse stock split of our common stock. Pursuant to written resolutions, the shareholders of the Company voted to approve the proposal to authorize the reverse split. The reverse stock split took effect, after filing a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The amended Articles of Incorporation increased the authorized shares to 1,050,000,000, consisting of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The common and preferred shares will have a par value of $0.0001 per share. The preferred shares are blank check preferred. Registrant's CUSIP identifier has been changed to 10568F208.
On October 4, 2019 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to designate 10,000,000 shares of its "blank check " preferred stock to Preferred Stock Series A,which now leaves 40,000,000 "blank check" authorized. The Preferred Series 'A' has a par value of $0.0001 per share, and entitles to receive one hundred (100) time the dividends per share of common stock, 100:1 stock voting rights, 100:1 liquidation rights and conversion ratio of 1:100 to common stock (see Exhibit 3.6).

Former Business
We currently own 76.63 acres within seven patented claims with a 29.167% ownership interest. We allowed all of our BLM unpatented and placer claims to expire. We may look to expand on our mining claim holdings in the future. Currently, the carrying value on such patented claims was fully impaired due to lack of economic viability of such properties.
However, it should be noted that we were not at any time a mining operator. As described above, the Company owns mining claims, but none of those claims are leased to a third party. Since the mining operations of our lessee no longer have any relevance to our business of the leasing and selling of gaming equipment, we will only include financial information relating to revenues, expenses, and results of operations and other relevant information with respect to the former mining activities of the lessee of our mining properties. For a complete discussion of the mining activities on our mining claims conducted by other parties, please see our previous Form 10-Ks, 10-Qs, and 8-Ks filed with the SEC
Current Business
We are currently engaged in the business of leasing and selling gaming equipment. We, however, ceased operations in Nicaragua due to political and economic instabilities. We are planning to operate our business in the US and other more stable democracies in Latin America.
During October 2017 severe weather, hurricanes, rain and flooding occurred in Nicaragua where the company had its gaming machines operation. Lower tourism and local traffic due to these uncontrollable weather issues had an effect on the Companys machine revenues during the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company had purchased 300 gaming machines that were placed in casinos where they were producing a monthly revenue stream based on net wins of the each machine. Consequently, revenue and account receivable due on these machines cannot be collectable due to the social and economic conditions which prevailed after the storms. Currently, the country has economic and trade sanctions in place by the U.S. Government.
On or about the first week of December 2017, Centro de Entretenimiento y Diversion Mombacho S.A. and GameTouch, LLC notified management of serious issues throughout the Country of Nicaragua. Civil unrest started due to lack of simple social services, like electricity, running water and destroyed infrastructure from Hurricane Nate. The ever growing political and civil unrest affected the countrys economy, which had a direct effect on the gaming industry in Nicaragua. The dangerous situation throughout Nicaragua eliminated BRVO from operating its gaming interests, effectively. On December 30, 2017, management canceled the business contracts with both Centro de Entretenimiento y Diversion Mombacho S.A. and GameTouch, LLC. Currently, the US Government placed trade and financial sanctions on the Government of Nicaragua, which greatly affected BRVOs business practices in the Country.
Throughout the operational year, 2018, the Company struggled to maintain its gaming operations. The politically unstable situation in Nicaragua, in addition to US financial and trade sanctions against the current Nicaraguan Government, caused Bravo Multinational, Inc. to reassess it gaming operations. As such, on November 18, 2018, management changed the direction of the Company by evaluating gaming operations as they might exist in the USA and Canadian markets and other more stable democracies within Latin America.
During 2019, management evaluated other possible casino gaming operations with the expectation of finding an economic viable operation. Also, in 2019, management did due diligence on other industry opportunities outside of the casino gaming industries. Management determined and evaluated these opportunities and made the determination that moving forward was not accretive to the Company, and was unlikely to create meaningful shareholder value. As of this date, such viable opportunities both in the gaming sector as it pertains to our gaming business operations and in other industry opportunities did not realized themselves in 2019.

A description of our mining properties is included in Item 1. Business and is incorporated herein by reference. We have written off the cost of the mining properties inasmuch as the value of any future revenue is unknown. We believe that we have satisfactory title to our mining properties, subject to liens for taxes not yet payable, liens incident to minor encumbrances, liens for credit arrangements and easements and restrictions that do not materially detract from the value of these properties, our interests in these properties, or the use of these properties in a business. We believe that the mining properties are adequate and suitable for the conduct of a mining business in the future.
Our mining claims are listed below:
Name | Ownership Interest | Type of Claim | Acres |
Poorman Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 3.44 |
London Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 17.52 |
North Empire Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 1.25 |
Illinois Central Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 2.85 |
South Poorman Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 20.57 |
Jackson Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 10.34 |
Oso Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 20.66 |
A patented mining claim is one which the federal government has passed title to the claimant, making the claimant the owner of the surface and mineral rights. An unpatented mining claim is one which is still owned by the federal government, but which the claimant has a right to possession to extracted minerals, provided the land is open to mineral entry.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
None

As of December 31, 2018, the 2 remaining gaming machines owned by Bravo Multinational, Inc. have been written off as a non-performing asset due to the fact the Company cannot collect on gaming monies due to the economic and political upheavals in Nicaragua.
Throughout the operational year, 2018, the Company struggled to maintain its gaming operations. The politically unstable situation in Nicaragua, in addition to US financial and trade sanctions against the current Nicaraguan Government, caused Bravo Multinational, Inc. to reassess it gaming operations. As such, on November 18, 2018, management changed the direction of the Company by evaluating gaming operations as they might exist in the USA and Canadian markets and other more stable democracies within Latin America. Additionally, Management looked at other opportunities outside of the casino gaming industries as those opportunities present themselves. If a viable opportunity becomes available, management will determine if such an opportunity is accretive to the Company and can create shareholder value.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ TOGETHER WITH THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K.
The following discussion reflects our plan of operation. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements which are attached to this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our expected financial position, business and financing plans. These statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this report, particularly under the headings Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.
Unless the context otherwise suggests, we, our, us, and similar terms, as well as references to BRVO and Bravo Multinational Incorporated, all refer to the Company.
As mentioned above, over the years, and prior to our entry into the business of the leasing of gaming equipment described below, we had been engaged in the business of owning and leasing mining claims, see Item 1. Business - Former Business.

Going Concern
As of December 31, 2019, Bravo Multinational had an accumulated deficit of $29,518,707. Our independent certified public accountants have stated in their report on our audited financial statements for the calendar year-end that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. While we are attempting to generate revenues, our cash position may not be significant enough to support our daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of an offering of our securities. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement our business plan and generate revenues will improve the Company's operating results. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, we may not be successful. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our capability to further implement our business plan and generate revenues. This issue is addressed in footnote 4 to the financial statements.

Year Ended December 31, 2019, compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2018
Revenues for the Companys year ended December 31, 2019 totaled $-0- and for year ended December 31, 2018 totaled $-0- from sales of its gaming machines. No machines sales occurred throughout the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 due to the civil and governmental unrest throughout Nicaragua which caused the Company to suspend its gaming operations in this area.
Cost of Goods Sold for the year ended December 31, 2019 totaled $-0- and for year ended December 31, 2018 totaled $-0-. The $-0- in cost of goods sold was due to no gaming machines sold during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Gross margins for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were 0%, respectively. There were no gaming machine the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $-0-, respectively. The was $-0 gross profit for the years ending December 31, 2019 and 2018, due to no sales of the gaming machines.
General and Administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 totaled $23,599 compared to $19,620 for year ending December 31, 2018, primarily the increase was attributed to the cost associated with financial printing fee with being a fully reporting US SEC registrant.
Professional Fees for the year ending December 31, 2019 totaled $124,452 compared to $7,586 for year ending December 31, 2018, the increase was attributed to the legal and accounting fees associated with getting the Company's financial reports current with US SEC.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
As of December 31, 2019, our assets totaled $16,286, which consisted of mainly cash and prepaid expenses. The Companys total liabilities were $2,103,747 which consisted of accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits, amounts due to related parties, notes payable, accrued board of director fees, and stock payables to related parties. As of this date the Company had an accumulated deficit of $29,518,707 and working capital of deficit of $2,087,461.
As of December 31, 2018, our assets totaled $10,234 which consisted of mainly cash and prepaid expenses. The Companys total liabilities were $2,084,086 which consisted of accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits, amounts due to related parties, notes payable, accrued board of director fees, and stock payables to related parties. As of this date the Company had an accumulated deficit of $29,338,722 and working capital of deficit of $2,073,852.
Our independent auditors, in their report on the financial statements, have indicated that the Companys significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As indicated herein, we need capital for the implementation of our business plan, and we will need additional capital for continuing our operations. We do not have sufficient revenues to pay our operating expenses at this time. Unless the company is able to raise working capital, it is likely that the Company will either have to cease operations or substantially change its methods of operations or change its business plan (See Note 4 Financial Statements). For the next 12 months the Company has an oral commitment from its CEO to advance funds as necessary to meeting our operating requirement.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Bravo Multinational Incorporated does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company, or any of its subsidiaries operating results, financial position, or cash flow.
Accounting Principals
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. We will adopt the standard on fiscal year January 1, 2019. Based on our assessment of the new standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which will consist primarily of a balance sheet gross up of our operating leases to show equal and offsetting lease assets and lease liabilities, we have concluded that the impact will be insignificant to our condensed consolidated financial statements based on the short-term nature of our leases and our election of such practical expedient.
-17-
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) to expand the scope of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (ASU 2018-07), to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is still evaluating this ASU and anticipates it will not have significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), which was further updated in March, April, May and December 2016. The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition." Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.
In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: (1) Identify the contract with a client; (2)Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) Recognize revenues when or as the company satisfies a performance obligation.
We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018. Although the new revenue standard is expected to have an immaterial impact, if any, on our ongoing net income, we did implement changes to our processes related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on our evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after considering the existence of material weaknesses identified, determined that our internal control over financial reporting disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2019.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
-19-
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records, that in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors, and;
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. In making this assessment, management used May 2013 updated criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.
We identified the following deficiencies which together constitute a material weakness in our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019:
· The Company has inadequate segregation of duties within its cash disbursement control design.
· During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company internally performed all aspects of its financial reporting process, including, but not limited to the underlying accounting records and the recording of journal entries and for the preparation of financial statements. This process was deficient, because these duties were performed often times by the same people, and therefore a lack of review was created over the financial reporting process that might result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
· The Company is continuing the process of remediating its control deficiencies. However, the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that has been identified will not be remediated until numerous internal controls are implemented and operate for a period of time, are tested, and the Company is able to conclude that such internal controls are operating effectively. The Company cannot provide assurance that these procedures will be successful in identifying material errors that may exist in the financial statements. The Company cannot make assurances that it will not identify additional material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in the future. Management plans, as capital becomes available to the Company, to increase the accounting and financial reporting staff and provide future investments in the continuing education and public company accounting training of our accounting and financial professionals.
-20-
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control system, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting to ensure we maintain an effective internal control environment. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We currently have an Executive Committee of our board of directors which was established on March 24, 2015. However, we do not currently have an Audit, Finance, Compensation, or Nominating Committee, or any other committee of the board of directors. We have adopted a charter for the Executive Committee as well as charters for the other committees, in the event that we elect to implement them. Copies of the charters for each committee have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, we have posted copies of the charters for each committee on our website at www.bravomultinational.com.

For the areas where we dont have committees, such responsibilities of these committees are fulfilled by our board of directors and all of our directors participate in such responsibilities, none of whom is independent as defined under Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQs listing standards described below. Our financial constraints have made it extremely difficult to attract and retain qualified independent board members. Since we do not have any of the subject committees, other than our Executive Committee, our entire board of directors participates in all of the considerations with respect to our audit, finance, compensation, and nomination deliberations.
-22-
Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQs listing standards defines an independent director as a person other than an executive officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the issuers board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Executive Committee
In accordance with Article III of our Bylaws, our board of directors has established an Executive Committee which consists of members who have been appointed by the board of directors. Thereafter, the chairman of the Executive Committee, Merle Ferguson was appointed by the members of the Executive Committee. The other member of the Executive Committee is Richard Kaiser.

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.

Our size and the size of our board, at this time, do not require a separate nominating committee. This function is performed by the entire board of directors. When evaluating director nominees, our directors consider the following factors:
· The appropriate size of our board of directors;
· Our needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of our directors;
· The 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;
· Experience in political affairs;
· Experience with accounting rules and practices; and
· The 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 in our best interests as well as in the best interests of 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 stockholder nominees because it believes that its current nomination process is sufficient to identify directors who serve our best interests.

The members of the Finance Committee are to be recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and are appointed by and serve at the discretion of the board of directors.
Compensation Committee
Although we currently do not have a Compensation Committee, we have adopted a charter which provides that when established it is to assist the board of directors in meeting its responsibilities with regard to oversight and determination of executive compensation and to review and make recommendations to the board of directors with respect to major compensation plans, policies and programs of Bravo. The Compensation Committee shall consist of not fewer than two members of the board of directors, with the exact number being determined by the board. Members of the Compensation Committee shall be appointed from time to time to serve in such capacity by the Board. Each member shall meet the independence and outside director requirements of applicable tax and securities laws and regulations and stock market rules.
Conflicts of Interest
With respect to transactions involving real or apparent conflicts of interest, we have adopted written policies and procedures, which are contained in our Corporate Governance Principles, and which require that:

Code of Business Conduct
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct, which applies to Bravo and all of our subsidiaries, whereby we expect each employee to use sound judgment to help us maintain appropriate compliance procedures and to carry out our business in compliance with laws and high ethical standards. Each of our employees is expected to read our Code of Business Conduct and demonstrate personal commitment to the standards set forth in our Code of Business Conduct.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.
Summary of Cash and Certain Other Compensation
At present, Bravo Multinational has two executive officers. Beginning in March 2015, the compensation program for our executives consists of three key elements:
· A base salary;
· Additional compensation; and
· Periodic grants and/or options of our common stock.
-28-
Base Salary. Our executive officers receive compensation based on such factors as competitive industry salaries, a subjective assessment of the contribution and experience of the officer, and the specific recommendation by our board of directors.
Additional Compensation. Each of our officers receives additional compensation as provided in the officers employment agreement. All payments to officers must be approved by our board of directors or compensation committee based on the individual officers performance and company performance.
Stock Incentive. Stock grants and options are awarded to executive officers based on their positions and individual performance. Stock grants and options provide incentive for the creation of stockholder value over the long term and aid significantly in the recruitment and retention of executive officers. The board of directors or compensation committee considers the recommendations of the chief executive officer for stock grants and options to executive officers (other than the chief executive officer) and approves, disapproves or modifies such recommendation. Stock grants and options for our executive officers will be recommended and approved by our board of directors. See Market Price of and Dividends on our Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters - Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Bravo Multinational Incorporated:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Bravo Multinational Incorporated (the "Company") as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Substantial Doubt about the Companys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Companys significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 Organization & Description of Business
Bravo Multinational Corporation (the Company, we or us) was originally formed as Montrose Ventures, Inc. in the State of Delaware on May 25, 1989. On April 23, 1996, the Companys name was changed to Java Group, Inc., and on September 1, 2004 the name was changed to Consolidated General Corp. On August 7, 2007, the companys name was changed to GoldCorp Holdings Co. On October 15, 2010, our name was changed to GoldLand Holdings Co. On April 6, 2016, we changed our corporate name to Bravo Multinational Incorporated. On March 22, 2016, the board of directors of the company, pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, determined it was in the best interests of the company that the name of the company should be changed to Bravo Multinational Incorporated, with such change of name to be effective upon compliance with all regulatory requirements mandated by FINRA. Further, as a result of the change of the companys name and upon satisfaction of all regulatory requirements, the trading symbol for the shares of the companys common stock should be changed to BRVO, and the companys CUSIP identifier be changed to a newly issued number. FINRA granted its approval of the change of the companys name on April 6, 2016. As a result of the change of name of the company, the companys trading symbol was changed to BRVO and the CUSIP identifier was changed to 10568F109.
The Company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC on April 7, 2016, announcing the change of name, trading symbol, and CUSIP identifier.
The Company owned patented and unpatented mining claims on War Eagle Mountain in the state of Idaho. The Company entered into a lease agreement with Silver Falcon Mining, Inc. (SFMI) under which SFMI is entitled to mine the land and the Company is entitled to a 15% net royalty on all minerals extracted by SFMI from tailing piles on the premises or through shafts or adits located on the premises. The lease agreement was deferred for a two-year period, 2014 and 2015, so that SFMI could restructure its finances. The Company determined that SFMI is unable to pay the lease and that any debt owing by SFMI to the Company is not recoverable. The Company currently owns 76.63 acres within seven patented claims with a 29.167% ownership interest on War Eagle Mountain in the state of Idaho. The Company allowed all of its BLM (Bureau of Land Management) unpatented and placer claims to expire. The carrying value on such claims both patented and unpatented was fully impaired due to lack of economic viabilities of such properties.
The Company is currently engaged in the business of buying and reselling gaming equipment. The Company also buys machines for its own use that are placed in casinos or gaming areas to obtain monthly revenue streams from the machines net win revenue.

NOTE 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bravo Multinational Incorporated, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Universal Entertainment SAS, Ltd., (the Company). All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation. During the year ended December 31, 2017, management recognized that Universal is an inactive Florida corporation which no longer operates.
Method of Accounting
The Companys consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents may include time deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions located in the United States, which periodically may exceed federally insured amounts.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms which are recorded at net realizable value. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on managements assessment of collectability of trade receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance. The Company makes judgments about creditworthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a specific allowance will be required.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Earnings (loss) per share of common stock are computed in accordance with FASB ASC 260 Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible securities, if dilutive. Common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive are excluded from both diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding and diluted earnings (loss) per share.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company has issued and may issue stock in lieu of cash for certain transactions. The fair value of the stock, which is based on comparable cash purchases, third party fair values of shares or the value of services, whichever is more readily determinable, is used to value the transaction.
F-8
NOTE 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Fair Value Measurements
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate fair value.
We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined 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. ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
· Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
· Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
· Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, inventory, notes payable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities approximate fair value given their short term nature or effective interest rates. We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis.
Revenue Recognition
Beginning January 1, 2018, the Company implemented ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Although the new revenue standard is expected to have an immaterial impact, if any, on our ongoing net income, we did implement changes to our processes related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them. These included the development of new policies based on the five-step model provided in the new revenue standard, ongoing contract review requirements, and gathering of information provided for disclosures.
The Company recognizes revenue and cost of goods sold from product sales or services rendered when control of the promised goods are transferred to our clients in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: identify the contract with the client, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The guidance requires increased disclosures, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
The Company operates as one reportable segment.
There was no revenue during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 since conditions in Nicaragua have not changed.
F-9
NOTE 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Computer equipment is depreciated on the straight-line method over five (5) years. Equipment used to generate revenues is depreciated on the straight-line method over seven (7) years and is included in cost of sales. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized when incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Management evaluates the Companys long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, that consist of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, for indicators of possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment exists if the carrying amounts of such assets exceed the estimates of future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. Should impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess carrying amount of the asset over the estimated fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisers, as considered necessary.
NOTE 3 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. We will adopt the standard on fiscal year January 1, 2019. Based on our assessment of the new standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which will consist primarily of a balance sheet gross up of our operating leases to show equal and offsetting lease assets and lease liabilities, we have concluded that the impact will be insignificant to our condensed consolidated financial statements based on the short-term nature of our leases and our election of such practical expedient.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) to expand the scope of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (ASU 2018-07), to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is still evaluating this ASU and anticipates it will not have significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
F-10
NOTE 4 Going Concern
The Companys consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has reported recurring losses from operations. As a result, there is an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2019.
While the Company is attempting to continue operations and generate revenues, the Companys cash position may not be significant enough to support the Companys daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement the Companys business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Companys ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues.
NOTE 5 Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consisted of the following at December 31, 2019 and 2018:
December 31, | 2019 | 2018 |
Accounts Receivable | $ 42,312 | $ 42,312 |
Less: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | (42,312) | (42,312) |
Net Accounts Receivable | $ | $ |
Due to civil unrest and the devastation of Hurricane Nate in Nicaragua in October 2017, the Company wrote off the machine income that was in accounts receivable on December 31, 2017 in the amount of $42,312.
The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in the amount of $42,312 was collected but it remains in Nicaragua because of the political instability, social unrest, and US Government's trade and economic sanctions; no transfer of funds to the US can be done at this time. Since these issues have yet to be resolved both domestically and internationally with Nicaragua, the $42,312 amount has not been paid in the US and has been written-off. Since the revenue was earned and collected in Nicaragua, the revenue remains recognized as an account receivable.

NOTE 8 Related Party Transactions
