NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zivo Bioscience, Inc. and its wholly- owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein. These consolidated financial statements are condensed, and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2018 consolidated audited financial statements and Notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 12, 2019.

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, or any other period.

The Company incurred a net loss of $7,378,270 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. In addition, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $10,903,022 and a stockholders’ deficit of $10,903,022 at September 30, 2019. These factors continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company raised $2,650,000 from the issuance of common stock and $32,500 in loans from related parties. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zivo Bioscience, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Health Enhancement Corporation, HEPI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Wellmetrix, LLC (fka WellMetris, LLC), and Zivo Biologic, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Estimates

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require 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 reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. Management uses its best judgment in valuing these estimates and may, as warranted, solicit external professional advice and other assumptions believed to be reasonable.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. At September 30, 2019, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consist of furniture and office equipment and are carried at cost less allowances for depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are determined by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Repair and maintenance costs that do not improve service potential or extend the economic life of an existing fixed asset are expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Debt Issuance Costs

The Company follows authoritative guidance for accounting for financing costs (as amended) as it relates to convertible debt issuance costs. These costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the debt period or until redemption of the convertible debentures. Debt Issuance Costs are reported on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of the related notes. Amortization of debt issuance costs amounted to $1,187,817 and $4,542,444 and are included in Interest Expense and Interest Expense – Related Parties on the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Unamortized Debt Issuance Costs in the amounts of $-0- and $1,187,817 are netted against Convertible Notes Payable on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheets presented in these financial statements as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

We will recognize net product revenue when the earnings process is complete, and the risks and rewards of product ownership have transferred to our customers, as evidenced by the existence of an agreement, delivery having occurred, pricing being deemed fixed, and collection being considered probable. We record pricing allowances, including discounts based on contractual arrangements with customers, when we recognize revenue as a reduction to both accounts receivable and net revenue.

For nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no revenue.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, no shipping and handling costs were incurred.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The majority of the Company's research and development costs consist of clinical study expenses. These consist of fees, charges, and related expenses incurred in the conduct of clinical studies conducted with Company products by independent outside contractors. External clinical studies expenses were approximately $1,840,000 and $2,256,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, as amended by (ASU) No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company generally issues grants to its employees, consultants and board members. At the date of grant, the Company determines the fair value of the stock option award and recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of the stock option or warrant award is calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, warrants were granted to employees and consultants of the Company. As a result of these grants, the Company recorded compensation expense of $985,832 and $969,821 for these periods, respectively.

The fair value of warrants was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019	2018
Expected volatility	176.10% to 185.11%	174.51% to 178.54%
Expected dividends	0%	0%
Expected term	5 years	5 years
Risk free rate	1.58% to 2.77%	2.36% to 2.96%

ZIVO BIOSCIENCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee warrants have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the warrants.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted loss per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants and conversions of debentures. Potentially dilutive securities as September 30, 2019, consisted of 101,203,285 common shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debentures and related accrued interest and 203,130,756 common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. Potentially dilutive securities as of September 30, 2018, consisted of 225,711,412 common shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debentures and related accrued interest and 164,252,598 common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 diluted and basic weighted average shares are the same, as potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive.

Advertising

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. There were no advertising costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company, from time to time, maintains cash balances at financial institutions which exceed the current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit of $250,000.

Reclassifications

Certain items in these consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 superseded the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605),” and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. Historically the Company has had no revenues.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, to require lessees to recognize all leases, with limited exceptions, on the balance sheet, while recognition on the statement of operations will remain similar to current lease accounting. The ASU also eliminates real estate-specific provisions and modifies certain aspects of lessor accounting. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, and ASU No. 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors, to clarify and amend the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02. We have adopted the ASUs on January 1, 2019. Prior comparative periods were not required to be restated and the ASUs are not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Each unit consisted of share of common stock and warrants to purchase 20% of one share of common stock at an exercise price of $.10 per share (1,000,000 warrants).

As of December 31, 2018, Mr. Maggiore, a director and a significant shareholder of the Company, was owed $176,405 in principal representing advances to the Company, as well as accumulated accrued interest of $111,369. The Company currently accrues agreed upon interest at 11%.

These agreements include an agreement not to make any change in the Company’s senior management, without the prior written consent of the Lender.

The Ninth Amendment to Loan Agreement amends and restates the Eighth Amendment to Loan Agreement, which was entered into with the Lender on March 1, 2017 and disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K Current Report filed on March 6, 2017. The Tenth Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note extends the maturity date for all convertible debt due to HEP Investments to April 1, 2019, including the payment of any interest due and owing at that time. In consideration for extending the maturity date of the Loan to April 1, 2019 in accordance with the Tenth Amended and Restated Senior Convertible Promissory Note, the Company agreed to issue to the Lender warrants to purchase 3,250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.10 with a term of 5 years.

The Tenth Amendment to Loan Agreement amends and restates the Ninth Amendment to Loan Agreement, which was entered into with the Lender on January 31, 2018 and disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K Current Report filed on May 18, 2018. The Eleventh Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note increased amount that the Lender can advance to $20,000,000. In consideration for increasing the advance amount to $20,000,000 in accordance with the Eleventh Amended and Restated Senior Convertible Promissory Note, the Company agreed to issue to the Lender warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.10 with a term of 5 years. The warrants were valued at $476,464 using the Black Scholes pricing model relying on the following assumptions: volatility 174.80%; annual rate of dividends 0%; discount rate 2.94%. The Company determined that the modification of these Notes was not a substantial modification in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Modifications and Extinguishments.”

On June 6, 2018 the Lender and Strome Mezzanine Fund LP and Strome Alpha Fund LP (“Participant”) entered into the First Amended and Restated Participation Agreement (amending the June 17, 2017 agreement) whereby the Participant agreed to fund a total of $691,187 (“the committed funding”), through the Lender’s 11% convertible note (at a conversion price of $.10). The Company also agreed to a “Right of First Refusal” (ROFR) with the Participant. The Company would give the Participant the ROFR to invest funds into the Company on the same terms and conditions (“Right of Participation”) as negotiated by the Company with a third party, provided that the Right of Participation must be exercised within 10 days. Certain exclusions apply relating to the committed funding from parties unrelated to the Participant. This ROFR terminates on the third (3) anniversary of the Agreement. The Participant has an agreement with the Lender and the Company, that upon the funding of the Participant’s full $2 million ($1,308,813 though the purchase of common stock from the Company and $691,187 through the purchase of HEP Investments’ 11% convertible note (at a conversion price of $.10)), a warrant for 25 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.10 for a term of five years would be allocated from the warrant for 50 million shares of common stock authorized in the April 30, 2018 Board of Directors Resolution. The total funding of $2 million was achieved on June 6, 2018.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded debt discounts, related to $1,968,801 of Notes in the amount of $819,854 to reflect the relative fair value of the related warrants pursuant to “FASB ASC 470-20-30 – Debt with Conversion and Other Options: Beneficial Conversion Features” (ASC 470-20) as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible debt and an addition to additional paid-in capital. In accordance with ASC 470-20, the Company valued the beneficial conversion feature and recorded the amount of $613,758 as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible debt and as an addition to paid-in capital. Additionally, the relative fair value of the warrants was calculated and recorded at $206,096 as a further reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible debt and an addition to additional paid-in capital. The Company is amortizing the debt discount over the term of the debt. The relative fair value of the debt discounts of $206,096 were calculated using the Black Scholes pricing model relying on the following assumptions: volatility 174.59 to 180.14%; annual rate of dividends 0%; discount rate 2.09% to 3.04%

The Company amortized the debt discount over the term of the debt. Amortization of the debt discounts were $903,317 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

On March 29, 2019, the Company and the Lender entered into a “Debt Extension Agreement” whereby the Lender extended the maturity date of the Note to June 30, 2019. The Lender received no additional consideration related to this debt extension. The Company determined that the modification of these Notes was not a substantial modification in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Modifications and Extinguishments.”

In June 2019, the Lender converted $12,080,298 of the debt and $2,264,470 of accrued interest into 143,447,677 shares of the Company’s common stock (at $.10 per share).

Based on the above, as of September 30, 2019, the total shares of common stock, if the Lender converted the complete $6,270,342 convertible debt, including related accrued interest of $2,106,602, would be 83,768,653 shares, not including any future interest charges which may be converted into common stock.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has not made the required annual interest payments and principal payments to the Lender. As the Company has not received a notice of default, pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Company does not currently consider itself in default. Were the Company to default, additional interest would accrue at a rate of 16% per annum.

Effective as of December 31, 2018, the Board of Directors extended to December 31, 2019 the Change in Control Agreements (the “Agreements”) with both of its executive officers. The Agreements with each of the executive officers provide that if a Change of Control (as defined in the Agreements) occurs and the participant is not offered substantially equivalent employment with the successor corporation or the participant’s employment is terminated without Cause (as defined in the Agreements) during the three month period prior to the Change of Control or the 24 month period following the Change of Control, then 100% of such participant’s unvested options will be fully vested and the restrictions on his restricted shares will lapse. The Agreements also provide for severance payments of 500% of base salary and target bonus in such event. The Agreements terminate on December 31, 2019, with the provision that if a Change of Control occurs prior to the termination date, the obligations of the Agreements will remain in effect until they are satisfied or have expired.

Supply Chain Consulting Agreement

On February 27, 2019, the Company entered into a Supply Chain Consulting Agreement with a consultant (“Consultant”) (see Note 7 – Stockholders’ Deficiency). On September 14, 2019, the parties entered into a First Amendment to the Supply Chain Consulting Agreement (“Supply Consulting Agreement Amendment”). The Supply Consulting Agreement Amendment provides that the Consultant will identify and help negotiate the terms of potential joint ventures involving algae production development projects or related transactions or business combinations (“Development Project”). The Supply Consulting Agreement provides for exclusivity in Southeast Asia; Oceania; Indian subcontinent; and Africa; with regions in the Middle East by mutual agreement. The closing of a Development Project (as acceptable to the Company) is defined as the date that the Company is able, financially and otherwise, to proceed with engineering and construction of algae production facilities, processing or warehousing facilities and supply chain development, or related business combinations rendering an equivalent outcome (in the reasonable determination of the Company), for the production, processing, transport, compliance, marketing and resale of its proprietary algae biomass. Upon the closing of a Development Project, the Company will pay cash fees of $300,000 to Consultant, pay an on-going monthly fee of $50,000 for 24 months and issue to Consultant a cashless warrant with a five-year term to purchase nineteen million (19,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. As of September 30, 2019, the Development Project has not closed, and the warrants have not yet been issued.

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

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements contained in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to statements regarding:

our ability to raise the funds we need to continue our operations;  

our goal to generate revenues and become profitable; 

regulation of our product; 

market acceptance of our product and derivatives thereof;  

the results of current and future testing of our product;  

the anticipated performance and benefits of our product;  

the ability to generate licensing fees; and 

our financial condition or results of operations. 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “would”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “projects”, “predicts”, “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Except as otherwise required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained in this report to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any of our forward-looking statements are based. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and all available information. However, future events are subject to change, and the best estimates and judgments routinely require adjustment. US GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments in several areas, including those related to recording various accruals, income taxes, the useful lives of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, and potential losses from contingencies and litigation. We believe the policies discussed above are the most critical to our financial statements because they are affected significantly by management's judgments, assumptions and estimates.

Overview:

For ZIVO, we have put in place a business model in which we would derive future income from licensing and selling natural bioactive ingredients that may be derived from or are initially based on the algae cultures. We expect that these planned new products will likely be sold to much larger, better-financed animal, food, dietary supplement and medical food manufacturers. The anticipated income streams are to be generated from a) royalties and advances for licensed natural bioactive ingredients, and b) a toll on bulk sales of such ingredients. These bulk ingredients will likely be made by contracted ingredient manufacturers and then sold by us to animal food, dietary supplement and medical food processors and/or name-brand marketers. Further, we expect to license our bioactive molecules as lead compounds or templates for synthetic variants intended for therapeutic applications.

20

For Wellmetrix, we are developing, with the intention to manufacture, market, and sell tests, that we believe will allow people to optimize their health and identify future health risks. We plan to develop and commercialize such tests in three phases:

In phase one (“Phase One”) or, alternately named Gen 1.0, we plan to develop and commercialize a series of tests, which are intended to measure indicators of good health and optimal metabolic function (collectively, the “Phase One Test”). The Phase One Test is being designed to measure biomarkers related to oxidative stress, inflammation, and antioxidant status to establish a metabolic assessment from which intervention can commence, and from which metabolic syndrome can be inferred. A patent that covers this particular combination of biomarkers was issued December 25, 2018.  

In phase two (“Phase Two”) or alternately named Gen 1.5, we plan to develop and commercialize a testing technology focused on the positive or negative metabolic effects of metabolizing fat and muscle efficiency due to changes in diet, exertion, hydration and dietary supplements in a self-administered format that integrates with smartphone operating systems.  

In phase three (“Phase Three”) or alternately named Gen 2.0, we plan to develop and commercialize additional tests intended to provide a more complete metabolic profile for an individual utilizing the metabolites present in urine. The Company believes the Gen 2.0 tests, in aggregate, will allow identification of healthy versus unhealthy bodily processes in real-time. This technology can also be applied to livestock and companion animals. As capital funding becomes available, the Company will move forward with finalizing its transition cow syndrome test, for which a provisional patent application has already been filed.  

The Wellmetrix technology also incorporates sophisticated software to analyze, report, record and manage wellness and health data for large groups such as large employers, pension funds, accountable care organizations, state Medicaid agencies and their actuarial consultants, underwriters, re-insurers and wellness consultants. The software also contains tools to conduct meta-analysis of baseline health benchmarks and monitor the progress of pre-clinical intervention programs within large groups.

Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Net Sales.

We had no sales during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Cost of Sales.

We had no cost of sales during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

General and Administrative Expenses.

General and administrative expenses were $339,842 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $317,085 for the comparable prior period. The increase of approximately $23,000 in general and administrative expense during 2019 is due primarily to the following: $18,000 increase in travel expenses, $12,000 increase in rent expense, $9,000 increase in insurance expenses, $7,000 increase in public relations expenses and a $5,000 increase in office expenses, offset by a decrease of $28,000 in salary expenses, of which $41,000 was a non-cash charge in the prior period due to a warrant expense awarded to the Vice President of Operations and an increase in salary expense due to the addition of staff.

Professional and Consulting Expenses.

Professional and consulting expenses were $708,578 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $622,625 for the comparable prior period. The increase of approximately $86,000 in professional and consulting expense during 2019 is mainly due to the following: an increase of $329,000 for financial consulting, which includes a warrant issued for 6 million shares of common stock valued at $231,000, a non-cash expense, offset by a decrease in Director fees $192,000 (all of which related to warrants issued in 2019 and 2018 for 2.5 million shares of common stock which were valued at $172,000 in 2019 and were valued at $364,000 in 2018), a decrease of $28,000 in legal fees, a decrease of $20,000 in investment banking fees and a decrease of $3,000 in accounting fees.

21

Research and Development Expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred $525,581 in research and development expenses, as compared to $555,185 for the comparable period in 2018.

Of these expenses, approximately $491,000 and $555,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, are costs associated with external research relating to Zivo. Subject to the availability of funding, our research and development costs will grow as we work to complete the research in the development of natural bioactive compounds for use as dietary supplements and food ingredients, as well as biologics for medicinal and pharmaceutical applications in humans and animals. The Company’s scientific efforts are focused on the metabolic aspects of oxidation and inflammation, with a parallel program to validate and license products for healthy immune response. The decrease of $64,000 from the prior period is due to the lesser availability of cash and the allocation to Wellmetrix research.

With respect to our Wellmetrix, LLC subsidiary, we incurred approximately $35,000 and $-0- in research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The R&D effort to date has centered on optimizing dry chemistry, developing lower-cost alternatives for the proprietary analyzer device, negotiating and collaborating with offshore manufacturers and assembling the FDA pre-submission package for product classification and approval. The increase of $35,000 from the prior period is due to the allocation of cash to Wellmetrix.

Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Net Sales.

We had no sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Cost of Sales.

We had no cost of sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

General and Administrative Expenses.

General and administrative expenses were $1,062,423 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $956,400 for the comparable prior period. The approximate $106,000 increase in general and administrative expense during 2019 is due primarily to the following: increased recruiting expense of $106,000 due to the searches for the Vice President, Operations and Development and Vice President of Global Operations, $47,000 increase in insurance expenses, $35,000 increase in travel expenses, $10,000 increase in office expenses and $6,000 increase in rent, offset by a decrease in $50,000 public relations expenses and $48,000 decrease in salary expenses of which $41,000 was a non-cash charge in the prior period due to a warrant expense awarded to the Vice President of Operations and a decrease in salary expense due to the realignment of staff.

Professional and Consulting Expenses.

Professional and consulting expenses were $1,677,128 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $1,300,588 for the comparable prior period. The increase of approximately $376,000 of professional and consulting expense during 2019 is mainly due to the following: an increase of $902,000 for financial consulting, which includes a warrant issued for 11 million shares of common stock valued at $760,000, a non-cash expense and an increase in filing and listing fees of $13,000, offset by a decrease of $314,000 in investment banking fees (of which $245,000 a non-cash charge in 2018 for 2,326,504 warrants for common stock issued), a decrease in Director fees $192,000 (all of which are a non-cash charge related to warrants issued in 2019 and 2018 for 2.5 million shares of common stock which were valued at $172,000 in 2019 and were valued at $364,000 in 2018) and a decrease of $33,000 in legal fees.

Research and Development Expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred $1,839,547 in research and development expenses, as compared to $2,256,291 for the comparable period in 2018.

Of these expenses, approximately $1,856,000 and $2,190,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, are costs associated with external research relating to Zivo. Subject to the availability of funding, our research and development costs will grow as we work to complete the research in the development of natural bioactive compounds for use as dietary supplements and food ingredients, as well as biologics for medicinal and pharmaceutical applications in humans and animals. The Company’s scientific efforts are focused on the metabolic aspects of oxidation and inflammation, with a parallel program to validate and license products for healthy immune response. The decrease of $334,000 from the prior period is due to the reduction of available cash.

22

With respect to our Wellmetrix, LLC subsidiary, we incurred $34,000 and $66,000 in research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The R&D effort to date has centered on optimizing dry chemistry, developing lower-cost alternatives for the proprietary analyzer device, negotiating and collaborating with offshore manufacturers and assembling the FDA pre-submission package for product classification and approval. The decrease of $32,000 from the prior period is due to the reduction of available cash.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have a near term need for additional capital. For the reasons discussed herein, there is a significant risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern, in which case, you could suffer a total loss of your investment in our company.

As of October 25, 2019, we had a cash balance of approximately $100,000. We have incurred significant net losses since inception. We have, since inception, consistently incurred negative cash flow from operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred negative cash flows from operations of $3,055,963. As of September 30, 2019, we had a working capital deficiency of $10,903,022 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $10,903,022. Although we recently received funding of $2,650,000 from the issuance of common stock through September 30, 2019, we have a near term need for additional capital.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our operating activities used $3,055,963 in cash, a decrease of $826,128 from the comparable prior period. The approximate $826,000 decrease in cash used by operating activities was primarily attributable to the following (all of which are approximated): a $4,160,000 decrease in net loss, offset by a decrease of $3,792,000 in non-cash expenses (a decrease in amortization of debt issuance costs of $3,355,000, a decrease of stock and warrants issued for services and financing costs of $290,000 and a decrease in amortization of bond discount of $147,000), and $458,000 of changes made up of an increase in accounts payable - $688,000, an increase in due to related parties - $66,000 and an increase in prepaid expenses of $3,000 offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities - $299,000.

Our financing activities generated $2,682,500, a decrease of approximately $1,111,000 from the comparable prior period. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was due to an increase in proceeds of approximately $613,000 from proceeds of sale of common stock from proceeds and of loans payable from a related party, $107,000 of debt issuance costs, which was offset by a decrease of $1,830,000 of proceeds from the issuance of 11% convertible debentures as compared to the prior period.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, we entered into an agreement with HEP Investments, LLC (“HEP”) under which HEP agreed to purchase convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000. Through March 2019, we amended this agreement to provide for funding up to $20,000,000. As of the date of this filing, HEP had advanced a total as of September 30, 2019 of $18,470,640, of which a total of $12,200,298 has been converted into 122,002,980 shares of Common Stock of the Company, leaving a balance outstanding of $6,270,342. Pursuant to this arrangement. HEP’s convertible notes are secured by all our assets. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has not made the required annual interest payments and principal payments to the Lender. As the Company has not received notices of default, pursuant to the terms of the Notes, we do not currently consider ourselves in default. Were the Company to default, additional interest would accrue at a rate of 16% per annum.

Although we raised funds through the issuance of debt and common stock during 2018 and the nine months of 2019, we continue to experience a shortage of capital, which is materially and adversely affecting our ability to run our business. Historically, we have been largely dependent upon external sources for funding. We have in the past had difficulty in raising capital from external sources. We are still heavily reliant upon external financing for the continuation of our research and development program.

We estimate that we will require approximately $5,000,000 in cash over the next 12 months in order to fund our normal operations and to fund our research and development initiatives. Based on this cash requirement, we have a near term need for additional funding. Historically, we have had substantial difficulty raising funds from external sources. If we are unable to raise the required capital, we will be forced to curtail our business operations, including our research and development activities.

Significant elements of income or loss not arising from our continuing operations

We do not expect to experience any significant elements of income or loss other than those arising from our continuing operation.

23

Seasonality

Based on our business model implemented at the beginning of 2012, anticipated income streams are to be generated from the following:

For ZIVO:

a)royalties and advances for licensed natural bioactive ingredients, isolated natural compounds and synthetic variants thereof, and  

b)bulk sales of such ingredients;  

For Wellmetrix:

a)the selling of wellness tests and data services related to medical records management and  

b)analysis/compilation of data gathered on behalf of payers. For insurers, the primary selling season is November through April of any given year. 

We do not anticipate that these will be affected by seasonality.

Staffing

We have conducted all of our activities since inception with a minimum level of qualified staff. We currently do not expect a significant increase in staff.

Off-Balance Sheet arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that would create contingent or other forms of liability.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and we necessarily were required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible changes or additions to our controls and procedures.

As of September 30, 2019, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive/principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive/principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are effective in enabling us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings within the required time period.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
