Accordingly, Aphrodite’s Marketing’s business is characterized as Discontinued Operations in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The assets and liabilities of Aphrodite’s Marketing have been presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as discontinued operations. Similarly, the operating results and cash flows of discontinued operations are separately stated in those respective condensed consolidated financial statements. All prior year amounts from discontinued operations have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation.
On July 30, 2024, the Company received written consents in lieu of a meeting of Stockholders from holders of 75% of the total issued and outstanding shares of voting securities of the Company and written consents in lieu of a meeting of our Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approving such actions as are necessary for the Company to proceed to, and the
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information, which includes consolidated interim financial statements and present the consolidated interim financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries as of June 30, 2024. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 29, 2024 (the “Annual Report”). The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 810-10-65, “Non-controlling Interests in consolidated financial statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). This ASC clarifies that a non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the entity that should be reported as equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. It also requires consolidated net income to include the amounts attributable to both the parent and non-controlling interest, with disclosure on the face of the consolidated income statement of the amounts attributed to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. In accordance with ASC 810-10- 45-21, those losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest in subsidiaries may exceed their interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess and any further losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest shall be attributed to those interests even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest balance.
On February 9, 2021, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement which resulted to the acquisition of 51% interest in Aphrodite’s Marketing. On June 29, 2024, the Company owns

Note 2 - Going Concern
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss attributable to Bergio International, Inc. and cash used in operations of $
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which includes the Company, its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries as of June 30, 2024. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates. Significant estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 include the estimates of useful lives of property and equipment, valuation of the operating lease liability and related right-of-use asset, valuation of derivatives, allowance for uncollectable receivables, valuation of equity based instruments issued for other than cash, the fair value of warrants issued with debt, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and stock-based compensation.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023
(UNAUDITED)
Revenue Recognition
The Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. This standard requires an entity to 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 and also requires certain additional disclosures. ASC 606 requires us to identify distinct performance obligations. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. When distinct performance obligations exist, the Company allocates the contract transaction price to each distinct performance obligation. The standalone selling price, or our best estimate of standalone selling price, is used to allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.
Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Also, significant judgment may be required to determine the allocation of transaction price to each distinct performance obligation.
Generally, revenues are recognized at the time of shipment to the customer with the price being fixed and determinable and collectability assured, provided title and risk of loss is transferred to the customer. Provisions, when appropriate, are made where the right to return exists. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are classified as sales, and the shipping and handling costs incurred are included in cost of sales.
The Company’s subsidiary, GearBubble Tech, recognizes revenue from three sources: (1) e-commerce revenue (2) platform subscription fees and (3) partner and services revenue.
•Revenues are recognized when the merchandise is shipped to the customer and title is transferred and are recorded net of any returns, and discounts or allowances. Shipping cost paid by customers are primarily for ecommerce sales and are included in revenue. Merchandise sales are fulfilled with inventory sourced through our suppliers. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of product).
The Company evaluates the criteria outlined in ASC 606-10-55, Principal versus Agent Considerations, in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of merchandise sales and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to recognize revenue on a gross or net basis based upon its evaluation of whether the Company obtains control of the specified goods by considering if it is primarily responsible for fulfillment of the promise, has inventory risk, and has the latitude in establishing pricing and selecting suppliers, among other factors. The ecommerce sellers have no further obligation to the customer after the promised goods are transferred to the customer. Based on its evaluation of these factors, we have determined we are the principal in these arrangements. Through our suppliers, we have the ability to control the promised goods and as a result, the Company records ecommerce sales on a gross basis.
The Company refunds the full cost of the merchandise returned and all original shipping charges if the returned item is defective or we or our partners have made an error, such as shipping the wrong product. If the return is not a result of a product defect or a fulfillment error and the customer initiate a return of an unopened item within 30 days of delivery, for most products we refund the full cost of the merchandise minus the original shipping charge and actual return shipping fees. If our customer returns an item that has been opened or shows signs of wear, the Company issues a partial refund minus the original shipping charge and actual return shipping fees.
•The Company generally recognizes platform subscription fees in the month they are earned. Annual subscription payments received that are related to future periods are recorded as deferred revenue to be recognized as revenues over the contract term or period.

(UNAUDITED)
•Partner and services revenue is derived from: (1) partner marketing and promotion, and (2) non-recurring professional services. Revenue from partner marketing and promotion and non-recurring professional services is recognized as the service is performed.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost of the merchandise, shipping fees, credit card processing services, fulfillment cost, ecommerce sellers’ pay-out; costs associated with operation and maintenance of the Company’s platform.
Marketing
The Company applies ASC 720 “Other Expenses” to account for marketing costs. Pursuant to ASC 720-35-25-1, the Company expenses marketing costs as incurred. Marketing costs include advertising and related expenses for third party personnel engaged in marketing and selling activities, including sales commissions, and third-party e-commerce platform fees and selling fees. The Company directs its customers to the Company’s ecommerce platform through social media, digital marketing, and promotional campaigns. Marketing costs were $
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company accounts for shipping and handling fees in accordance with ASC 606. While amounts charged to customers for shipping products are included in revenues, the related costs of shipping products to customers are classified in selling and marketing expenses as incurred.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value 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. FASB ASC 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to the Company on June 30, 2024. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1:Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2:Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023
(UNAUDITED)
Level 3:Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accrued compensation approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13,” Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements”, which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Upon adoption, this guidance did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Assets or liabilities measured at fair value or a recurring basis included embedded conversion options in convertible debt and convertible preferred stock and were as follows at:

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding equity instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company did not have any cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $
Accounts Receivable
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based on customer payment and current credit worthiness, as determined by review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors credit limits for and payments from its customers and maintains provision for estimated credit losses based on its historical experience and any specific customer issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within the Company’s expectation and the provision established, the Company cannot guarantee that this will continue.
An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided against accounts receivable for amounts management believes may be uncollectible. The Company determines the adequacy of this allowance by regularly reviewing the composition of its accounts receivable aging and evaluating individual customer receivables, considering the customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic circumstance. While credit losses have historically been within the
13
BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023
(UNAUDITED)
Company’s expectation and the provision established, the Company cannot guarantee that this will continue. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 for both periods.
Inventory
Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted average method, and average cost is recomputed after each inventory purchase or sale. Inventories are written down if the estimated net realizable value is less than the recorded value, if appropriate.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future, undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No impairment losses were recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Property and equipment
Property is carried at cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets, generally three to five years.
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 - “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, non-employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
Derivative instruments
ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC Topic 815”), establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities by requiring that all derivatives be recognized in the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings. On the date of conversion or payoff of debt, the Company records the fair value of the conversion shares, removes the fair value of the related derivative liability, removes any discounts and records a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment.
In July 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features. These amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with down-round features. The amendments require companies to disregard the down-round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification. For public business

JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023
(UNAUDITED)
entities, the amendments in Part I of the ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.
Convertible notes with variable conversion options
The Company has entered into convertible notes, some of which contain variable conversion options, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted, by the holder, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed discount to the price of the common stock at or around the time of conversion. The Company treats these convertible notes as stock settled debt under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and measures the fair value of the notes at the time of issuance, which is the result of the share price discount at the time of conversion and records the put premium as interest expense.

Note 5 - Net Loss per Share
Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of common stock issuable for stock options and stock warrants (using the treasury stock method), convertible notes and common stock issuable. These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future.

The following terms shall apply to the above August 10, 2023 Trillium Note, August 10, 2023 JP Carey Note, October 26, 2023 Trillium Note, and December 18, 2023 Trillium Note (the “2023 Notes”):
The 2023 Notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, which interest may be paid by the Company to the lenders in shares of the Company’s common stock; but shall not be payable until the 2023 Notes become payable, whether at the maturity date or upon acceleration or by prepayment.
During the first 180 days following the date of the 2023 Notes, the Company has the right to prepay the principal and accrued but unpaid interest due under the above notes, together with any other amounts that the Company may owe the holder under the terms of the note, at a premium of 150% as defined in the note agreement. After this initial 180-day period, after the expiration of the prepayment periods set forth above, the Company may submit an optional prepayment notice to the lenders.
The conversion price for the above notes shall be equal to a 50% discount of the market price which means the lowest ranging from 10 to 30 trading prices of the Common Stock immediately prior to the delivery of a Notice of Conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the lenders shall be restricted from effecting a conversion if such conversion, along with other shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by lenders and its affiliates, exceeds 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such conversion price and lookback periods are subject to adjustment in favor of the Investor in the event the Company issues securities to another party with more favorable conversion terms (“Most Favored Nation”). During the period where any monies are owed to the lender pursuant to the 2023 Notes, if the Company engages in any future financing transactions with a third party investor, the Company will provide the lender with written notice (the “MFN Notice”) thereof promptly but in no event less than 10 days prior to closing any financing transactions except for exempt issuance as defined in related the note agreements.
The above notes contain certain events of default, upon which principal and accrued interest will become immediately due and payable. In addition, upon an event of default, interest on the outstanding principal shall accrue at a default interest rate of 22% per annum, or if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the highest rate of interest permitted by law. Further, certain events of default may trigger penalty and liquidated damage provisions.
Upon certain events of default, the above the 2023 Notes will become immediately due and payable and the Company must pay the lenders ranging from 150% to 200% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the above 2023 Notes, plus any interest accrued upon such event of default or prior events of default (the “Default Amount”). Further, upon any event of default relating to the failure to issue shares of common stock upon the conversion of such notes, such notes become immediately due and payable in an amount equal to twice the Default Amount.

The Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company used its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease. The Company used incremental borrowing rate of 10%. The Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate based on its credit quality, line of credit agreement and by comparing interest rates available in the market for similar borrowings.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports (collectively, the “Filings”) filed by Bergio International, Inc. (“Bergio” or the “Company”) from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024, relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Plan of Operation
The Bergio brand is our most important asset. The Bergio brand is associated with high-quality, handcrafted and individually designed pieces with European sensibility, Italian craftsmanship and a bold flair for the unexpected. Bergio, is one of the most coveted brands of fine jewelry. Established in 1995, Bergio’s signature innovative design, coupled with extraordinary diamonds and precious stones, earned the company recognition as a highly sought-after purveyor of rare and exquisite treasures from around the globe.
It is our intention to establish Bergio as a holding company for the purpose of establishing retails stores worldwide. Our branded product lines are products and/or collections designed by our designer and CEO Berge Abajian and will be the centerpiece of our retail stores. We also intend to complement our own quality-designed jewelry with other products and our own specially designed handbags. This is in line with our strategy and belief that a brand name can create an association with innovation, design and quality which helps add value to the individual products as well as facilitate the introduction of new products.
It is our intention to open elegant stores in “high-end” areas and provide excellent service in our stores which will be staffed with knowledgeable professionals.
In 2019 we introduced The Silver Fashion Collection ranging in price from $50 to $1,200. The Company also introduced the Bergio Handbag Collection, manufactured in Italy with top quality Italian leather ranging in price from $450 to $875, which are very competitive entry prices.
37
Our products consist of a wide range of unique styles and designs made from precious metals such as, gold, platinum, and Karat gold, as well as diamonds and other precious stones. We currently design and produce approximately 100 to 150 product styles. Current retail prices for our products range from $400 to $200,000. We have manufacturing control over our line as a result of having a manufacturing facility in New Jersey as well as subcontracts with facilities located in Italy.
On March 5, 2014, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary called Crown Luxe, Inc. in the State of Delaware (“Crown Luxe”). Crown Luxe was established to operate the Company’s first retail store, which was opened in Bergen County, New Jersey in 2014.
During the fall of 2018, we opened our second retail store at the Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In September 2023, we closed the retail store located at the Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. We opened a new retail store in March 2023 located in Marmora, New Jersey.
On February 10, 2021, Bergio International, Inc. entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Digital Age Business, Inc., a Florida corporation, (“Digital Age Business”), pursuant to which the shareholders of Digital Age Business agreed to sell all of the assets and liabilities of its Aphrodite’s business to a recently formed subsidiary of the Company known as Aphrodite’s Marketing, Inc., a Wyoming corporation in exchange for created Series B Preferred Stock of the Company, which collectively, shall be convertible at Shareholders’ option, at any time, in whole or in part, into that number of shares of common stock of the Company which shall equal thirty percent (30%) of the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company (as determined at the earlier of (i) the date of conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock; and (ii) eighteen (18) months following the Closing). We owned 51% of Aphrodite’s Marketing, Inc. On June 29, 2024, the Company and the owners of the 49% interest in Aphrodite’s Marketing (the “Assignors”) entered into an Assignment of Interest and Assets Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) whereby the Assignors agreed to transfer their 49% interest in Aphrodite’s Marketing to the Company. Consequently, the Company owns 100% of Aphrodite’s Marketing as a result of the Assignment Agreement.
On July 1, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with GearBubble, Inc., a Nevada corporation, pursuant to which the shareholders of GearBubble agreed to sell 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of GearBubble to a recently formed subsidiary of the Company known as GearBubble Tech, Inc., a Wyoming corporation in exchange for $3,162,000 (the “Cash Purchase Price”), which shall be paid as follows: a) $2,000,000 (which was paid in cash at Closing), b) $1,162,000 to be paid in 15 equal installments, and c) 49,000 of the 100,000 authorized shares of the Merger Sub, such that upon the Closing, 51% of the Merger Sub shall be owned by the Company, and 49% of the Merger Sub shall be owned by the GearBubble Shareholders. We own 51% of GearBubble Tech, Inc.
The funding for these acquisitions were a combination of proceeds from the issuance of common stock from our previous S-1 Registration Statement and debt.
Aphrodite’s Marketing and GearBubble Tech were expected to increase our online presence and provide for expansion of the Bergio Brand. Aphrodite’s Marketing was a one-stop shop for jewelry, gifts, and surprises for any occasion. In December 2023, the Company decided to sell the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, Aphrodite’s Marketing. On June 19, 2024, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with a buyer to purchase all the assets of Aphrodite’s Marketing. The total purchase price for the purchased assets shall be $1,000,000. The release of funds from the escrow account to the Company shall be contingent upon the satisfactory completion of all conditions precedent as detailed in the Purchased Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, the closing of this sale has not yet finalized and the buyer has not obtained control of the purchased assets.
The Company has instituted various cost saving measures to conserve cash and has worked with its debtors in an attempt to negotiate the debt terms. The Company has been also investigating various strategies to increase sales and expand its business. The Company is in negotiations with some potential partners, but, at this time, there is nothing concrete, but the Company remains positive about its prospects. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its endeavors or that it will be able to increase its business.
Our future operations are contingent upon increasing revenues and raising capital for on-going operations and expansion of our product lines. Because we have a limited operating history, you may have difficulty evaluating our business and future prospects.
The Company’s retail operations were and may continue to be affected by the COVID-19 which in March 2020, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Although it has been 4 years since the outbreak of COVID-
38
19, the ultimate disruption which may be caused by a future outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations and cash flows. Possible areas that may be affected include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s customers and revenue, labor workforce, unavailability of products and supplies used in operations, and the decline in value of assets held by the Company, including property and equipment.

Net Revenues
Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 which amounted to $726,683 decreased by $350,915 as compared to $1,079,598 for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The decrease in total net revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to the decrease in revenues of our majority owned subsidiary, GearBubble, primarily due to declining memberships in our GearBubble software as a service offering.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of the cost of the merchandise, shipping fees, credit card processing services, fulfillment cost, ecommerce sellers’ pay-out, costs associated with operation and maintenance of the Company’s platform. Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 which amounted to $543,954 increased by $20,979 as compared to $522,975 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 which amounted to $984,198 decreased by $127,775 as compared to $1,111,973 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily attributable to the decrease in net revenues as discussed above.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased by $371,894 to $184,729 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $556,623 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Gross profit decreased by $528,871 to $369,340 for the six months ended
39
June 30, 2024 as compared to $898,211 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in net revenues as discussed above.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses decreased by $246,871 to $485,566 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $732,437 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to i) decrease professional and consulting expenses of $135,561 primarily related to decrease in consulting and contractor fees ii) decrease in compensation and related taxes of $53,501 primarily related to the decrease in number of employees iii) decrease in general and administrative expenses of $60,388.
Operating expenses decreased by $363,936 to $1,015,620 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $1,379,556 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to i) decrease in selling and marketing expenses of $10,286 primarily attributable to decrease in advertising and marketing activities through social media, digital marketing, and promotional campaigns ii) decrease professional and consulting expenses of $164,486 primarily related to decrease in consulting and contractor fees iii) decrease in compensation and related taxes of $87,815 primarily related to the decrease in number of employees iv) decrease in general and administrative expenses of $101,349. The overall decrease in operating expenses were due to the cost-cutting measures made during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Our indebtedness is comprised of various convertible debt, notes payable, loans payable, and advances from a stockholder/officer intended to provide capital for the ongoing manufacturing of our jewelry line, in advance of receipt of the payment from our retail distributors.
Convertible Notes
From time to time the Company enters into certain financing agreements for convertible notes. For the most part, the Company settles these obligations with the Company’s common stock.

The Company has mandatorily redeemable preferred stock liability of $634,000 at June 30, 2024.
Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months
A critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence is to efficiently manage our retail operations and successfully develop new lines through our Company or through possible acquisitions and/or mergers as well as opening new retail stores. Our ability to obtain capital through additional equity and/or debt financing, and joint venture partnerships will also be important to our expansion plans. In the event we experience any significant problems assimilating acquired assets into our operations or cannot obtain the necessary capital to pursue our strategic plan, we may have to reduce the growth of our operations. This may materially impact our ability to increase revenue and continue our growth.
The Company has suffered recurring losses and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $24.3 million as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has $158,947 in principal amounts of convertible notes, notes payable (current and long-term portion) of $812,000, current liabilities of discontinued operations of $2,213,036 and $634,000 in mandatorily redeemable preferred stock liability. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn, is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise capital and/or generate positive cash flows from operations.
These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Research and Development
We are not anticipating significant research and development expenditures in the near future.
Expected Purchase or Sale of Plant and Significant Equipment
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment; as such items are not required by us at this time.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
