PROSPECTUS
BERGIO
INTERNATIONAL, INC.
3,367,080
Shares of Common Stock
This
prospectus (the “Prospectus”) relates to the resale of 3,367,080 shares of our common
stock, par value of $0.001, by certain individuals and entities who beneficially
own shares of our common stock. We are not selling any shares of our
common stock in this offering and therefore we will not receive any proceeds
from this offering. However, the Company will receive proceeds from the sale of
our common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement which was entered
into between the Company and Tangiers Investors, LP, (“Tangiers”), the selling
stockholder. We agreed to allow Tangiers to retain 12% of the proceeds raised
under the Securities Purchase Agreement, which is more fully described
below.
The
shares of our common stock are currently traded on the Over-the-Counter-Bulletin
Board. Our stock will be offered for sale by the selling stockholder
at prices established on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board during the term of
this offering. The stock prices may be different than prevailing market prices
or at privately negotiated prices. On December 9, 2009, the last reported sale
price of our common stock was $0.49 per share. Our common stock is quoted on the
Over-the-Counter-Bulletin Board under the symbol “BRGO.” The market price of our
stock will fluctuate based on the demand for the shares of our common
stock.
On
November 16, 2009 we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Tangiers.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement the Company may, at its
discretion, periodically sell to Tangiers shares of its common stock for a total
purchase price of up to $25,000,000. For each share of common stock purchased
under the Securities Purchase Agreement, Tangiers will pay us 88% of
the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock as quoted
by Bloomberg, LP on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal
market on which the Company's common stock is traded for the five days
immediately following the notice date. The price paid by Tangiers for the
Company's stock shall be determined as of the date of each individual request
for an advance under the Securities Purchase Agreement. Tangiers’
obligation to purchase shares of the Company's common stock under the Securities
Purchase Agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the Company
obtaining an effective registration statement for shares of the Company's common
stock sold under the Securities Purchase Agreement and is limited to $250,000
per ten consecutive trading days after the advance notice is provided to
Tangiers. The Securities Purchase Agreement shall terminate and Tangiers shall
have no further obligation to make advances under the Securities Purchase
Agreement at the earlier of the passing of 24 months after the date that the
Securities and Exchange Commission declares the Company’s registration statement
effective or the Company receives advances from Tangiers equal to the
$25,000,000. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, Tangiers will
receive a one-time commitment fee equal to $500,000 of the Company's common
stock divided by the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company's
common stock during the 30 days immediately following the date of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, as quoted by Bloomberg, LP. As of
December 28, 2009, the shares of common stock to be issued in order to
receive advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement upon issuance would
equal approximately 30% of our outstanding common stock.
With the
exception of Tangiers, who is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, no other underwriter or person has been engaged to
facilitate the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering. This
offering will terminate twenty-four months after the accompanying registration
statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. None
of the proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling stockholders
will be placed in escrow, trust or any similar account.
INVESTING
IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. SEE “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON
PAGE 8 TO READ ABOUT FACTORS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING SHARES OF OUR
COMMON STOCK.

TABLE
OF CONTENTS
GENERAL
As
used in this Prospectus, references to “the Company,” “Bergio” “we”, “our,”
“ours” and “us” refer to Bergio International, Inc. Inc., unless otherwise
indicated. In addition, any references to our “financial statements” are to our
consolidated financial statements except as the context otherwise
requires.
This
summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this
prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information that you
should consider before investing in the common stock. You should carefully
read the entire Prospectus, including “Risk Factors”, “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the Financial
Statements, before making an investment decision.
Corporate Background and Our
Business
We were
incorporated on July 24, 2007 as Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc. under the laws
of the state of Delaware. We formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, also
known as Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc., an Alberta corporation. Alba
Mineral was formed to conduct our originally planned mineral exploration on the
Crow Hill mineral claim located on the Baie Verte Peninsula on Newfoundland
Island, Canada.
In
October 2009, subsequent to our reporting period, we acquired the business
operations of Diamond Information Institute, Inc., a New Jersey
corporation. As a result of this transaction, we abandoned our prior
business plan to develop the Crown Hill claim, in order to pursue what we
perceive to be the superior opportunity presented by the acquired
company. Consequently, we have transferred the rights to Alba Mineral
to our former officer and director, Owen Gibson, and certain of our prior
shareholders. As a result of the acquisition in October, 2009, we have obtained
all of the assets of Diamond Information Institute.
We are
now in the business of designing and manufacturing upscale jewelry. We relocated
our principal executive offices to 12 Daniel Road E. Fairfield, New Jersey
07004, and our telephone number is now (973) 227-3230. We have also
changed our name from Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc. to Bergio International,
Inc., and have discontinued all prior business operations in favor of the
business plan and operations of Diamond Information Institute, the acquired
operations, which will be our only significant operations going
forward. Our website is located
at www.Bergio.com.
Going
Concern
The
Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source
of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as
a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses
until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate
capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
Both Alba
Mineral Exploration and Diamond Information Institute received going concern
opinions for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and
2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009
Diamond had a negative working capital of $226,617 and a net loss of
$359,412. For the year ended December 31, 2008 Diamond had a negative
working capital of $82,333 and a net loss of $1,106,856.
On a pro
forma basis the Company had a negative working capital of $236,933 for the
period ended September 30, 2009 and a net loss of $367,173. For the year ended
December 31, 2008 the Company had working capital of $79,778 and a net loss of
$1,143,797.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to successfully secure other sources of financing and attain profitable
operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.
If we are
unable to generate profits and unable to continue to obtain financing to meet
our working capital requirements, we may have to curtail our business sharply,
or cease operations altogether. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent
upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a
timely basis to retain our current financing, to obtain additional financing,
and, ultimately, to attain profitability. Should any of these events not occur,
we will be adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.
Summary Financial
Information
In the
table below, we provide you with summary financial data for Diamond Information
Institute, the company we have acquired and whose operations we have since
assumed beginning October, 2009. This information is derived from our
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for any future period. When you read this historical selected financial
data, it is important that you read it along with the historical financial
statements and related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this
prospectus.

|
The
shares of our common stock being offered for resale by the selling security
holder are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and
should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount
invested in the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common
stock, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our
business and prospects. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our
business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely
affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and
you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks
related to our Securities Purchase Agreement
Existing
stockholders will experience significant dilution from our sale of shares under
the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The sale
of shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement will have a dilutive
impact on our stockholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock
could decline significantly as we sell shares pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement. In addition, for any particular advance, we will need to
issue a greater number of shares of common stock under the Securities Purchase
Agreement as our stock price declines. If our stock price is lower, then our
existing stockholders would experience greater dilution.
The
investor under the Securities Purchase Agreement will pay less than the
then-prevailing market price of our common stock
The
common stock to be issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement will be issued
at 88% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock
during the five consecutive trading days immediately following the date we send
an advance notice to the investor and is subject to further reduction provided
in the Securities Purchase Agreement. These discounted sales could also cause
the price of our common stock to decline.
The
sale of our stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement could encourage short
sales by third parties, which could contribute to the further decline of our
stock price.
The
significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock caused by the
sale of material amounts of common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement
could encourage short sales by third parties. Such an event could place further
downward pressure on the price of our common stock.
We
may be limited in the amount we can raise under the Securities Purchase
Agreement because of concerns about selling more shares into the market than the
market can absorb without a significant price adjustment.
The
Company intends to exert its best efforts to avoid a significant downward
pressure on the price of its common stock by refraining from placing more shares
into the market than the market can absorb. This potential adverse impact on the
stock price may limit our willingness to use the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Until there is a greater trading volume, it seems unlikely that we will be able
to access the maximum amount we can draw without an adverse impact on the stock
price
We
may not be able to access sufficient funds under the Securities Purchase
Agreement when needed.
The
commitment amount of the Securities Purchase Agreement is $25,000,000. After
estimated fees and offering costs, we will receive net proceeds of approximately
$24,950,000. At our current share price of $0.42 per share we will sell our
stock to Tangiers at 88% of the market price per share which equates to a share
price of $0.3696. If our current share price remains at $0.42 we will need
to register 67,640,693 shares of our common stock in order to obtain
the full $25,000,000 available to us under the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The total amount of 3,367,080 shares of our common stock that we are registering
under this registration statement will be issued to Tangiers in order to obtain
the funds available to us under the Securities Purchase Agreement. Which
means we will be required to file another registration statement if we intend to
obtain the full amount of funds available to us under the Securities Purchase
Agreement. If we issue to Tangiers all 3,367,080 shares of our common stock we
will register, we will only be able to receive approximately $ 1,194,473 in net
proceeds after paying expenses related to this registration statement of
approximately $50,000.
Our
ability to raise funds under the Securities Purchase Agreement is also limited
by a number of factors, including the fact that the maximum advance amount is
capped at $250,000 as well as the fact that we are not permitted to submit any
request for an advance within 10 trading days of a prior request. Also the
Company may only draw an amount equal to the average daily trading volume in
dollar amount during the 10 trading days preceding the advance date. As such,
although sufficient funds are made available to the Company under the Securities
Purchase Agreement, such funds may not be readily available when needed by the
Company.
We
will not be able to use the Securities Purchase Agreement if the shares to be
issued in connection with an advance would result in Tangiers owning more than
9.9% of our outstanding common stock.
Under the
terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, we may not request advances if the
shares to be issued in connection with such advances would result in Tangiers
and its affiliates owning more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock. We are
permitted under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement to make limited
draws on the Securities Purchase Agreement so long as Tangiers beneficial
ownership of our common stock remains lower than 9.9%. A possibility exists that
Tangiers and its affiliates may own more than 9.9% of our outstanding common
stock (whether through open market purchases, retention of shares issued under
the Securities Purchase Agreement, or otherwise) at a time when we would
otherwise plan to obtain an advance under the Securities Purchase
Agreement. As such, by operation of the provisions of the Securities
Purchase Agreement, the Company may be prohibited from procuring additional
funding when necessary due to these provisions discussed above.
The
Securities Purchase Agreement will restrict our ability to engage in alternative
financings.
The
structure of transactions under the Securities Purchase Agreement will result in
the Company being deemed to be involved in a near continuous indirect primary
public offering of our securities. As long as we are deemed to be engaged in a
public offering, our ability to engage in a private placement will be limited
because of integration concerns and therefore limits our ability to obtain
additional funding if necessary. If we do not obtain the necessary funds
required to maintain the operations of the business and to settle our
liabilities on a timely manner, the business will inevitable
suffer.
Risks
Related To Our Business
We
Have Been The Subject Of A Going Concern Opinion By Our Independent Auditors Who
Have Raised Substantial Doubt As To Our Ability To Continue As A Going
Concern
The
Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source
of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as
a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses
until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate
capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
Both Alba
Mineral Exploration and Diamond Information Institute received going concern
opinions for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and
2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009
Diamond had a negative working capital of $226,617 and a net loss of
$359,412. For the year ended December 31, 2008 Diamond had a negative
working capital of $82,333 and a net loss of $1,106,856. On a pro
forma basis the Company had a negative working capital of $236,933 for the
period ended September 30, 2009 and a net loss of $367,173. For the year ended
December 31, 2008 the Company had working capital of $79,778 and a net loss of
$1,143,797.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to successfully secure other sources of financing and attain profitable
operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.
If we are
unable to generate profits and unable to continue to obtain financing to meet
our working capital requirements, we may have to curtail our business sharply,
or cease operations altogether. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent
upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a
timely basis to retain our current financing, to obtain additional financing,
and, ultimately, to attain profitability. Should any of these events not occur,
we will be adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.
A
decline in discretionary consumer spending may adversely affect our industry,
our operations, and ultimately our profitability.
Luxury
products, such as fine jewelry, are discretionary purchases for
consumers. Any reduction in consumer discretionary spending or
disposable income may affect the jewelry industry more significantly than other
industries. Many economic factors outside of our control could affect
consumer discretionary spending, including the financial markets, consumer
credit availability, prevailing interest rates, energy costs, employment levels,
salary levels, and tax rates. Any reduction in discretionary consumer
spending could materially adversely affect our business and financial
condition.
Because
we are highly dependent on our key executive officer for the success of our
business plan and may be dependent on the efforts and relationships of the
principals of future acquisitions and mergers, if any of these individuals
become unable to continue in their role, our business could be adversely
affected.
We
believe our success will depend, to a significant extent, on the efforts and
abilities of Berge Abajian, our CEO. If we lost Mr. Abajian, we would
be forced to expend significant time and money in the pursuit of a replacement,
which would result in both a delay in the implementation of our business plan
and the diversion of limited working capital. We can give you no assurance that
we could find a satisfactory replacement for Mr. Abajian at all, or on terms
that are not unduly expensive or burdensome.
If we
grow and implement our business plan, we will need to add managerial talent to
support our business plan. There is no guarantee that we will be
successful in adding such managerial talent. These professionals are
regularly recruited by other companies and may choose to change
companies. Given our relatively small size compared to some of our
competitors, the performance of our business may be more adversely affected than
our competitors would be if we lose well-performing employees and are unable to
attract new ones.
Because
we intend to acquire businesses and such activity involves a number of risks,
our core business may suffer.
We may
consider acquisitions of assets or other business. Any acquisition involves a
number of risks that could fail to meet our expectations and adversely affect
our profitability. For example:
§
|
The
acquired assets or business may not achieve expected
results;
|
§
|
We
may incur substantial, unanticipated costs, delays or other operational or
financial problems when integrating the acquired
assets;
|
§
|
We
may not be able to retain key personnel of an acquired
business;
|
§
|
Our
management’s attention may be diverted;
or
|
§
|
Our
management may not be able to manage the acquired assets or combined
entity effectively or to make acquisitions and grow our business
internally at the same time.
|
If these
problems arise we may not realize the expected benefits of an
acquisition.
Because
the jewelry industry in general is affected by fluctuations in the prices of
precious metals and precious and semi-precious stones, we could experience
increased operating costs that will affect our bottom line.
The
availability and prices of gold, diamonds, and other precious metals and
precious and semi-precious stones may be influenced by cartels, political
instability in exporting countries and inflation. Shortages of these
materials or sharp changes in their prices could have a material adverse effect
on our results of operations or financial condition. A significant
change in prices of key commodities, including gold, could adversely affect our
business or reduce operating margins and impact consumer demand if retail prices
increased significantly, even though we historically incorporate any increases
in the purchase of raw materials to our consumers. Additionally, a
significant disruption in our supply of gold or other commodities could decrease
the production and shipping levels of our products, which may materially
increase our operating costs and ultimately affect our profit
margins.
Because
we depend on our ability to identify and respond to fashion trends, if we
misjudge these trends, our ability to maintain and gain market share will be
effected.
The
jewelry industry is subject to rapidly changing fashion trends and shifting
consumer demands. Accordingly, our success may depend on the priority
that our target customers place on fashion and our ability to anticipate,
identify, and capitalize upon emerging fashion trends. If we
misjudges fashion trends or are unable to adjust our products in a timely
manner, our net sales may decline or fail to meet expectations and any excess
inventory may be sold at lower prices.
Our
ability to maintain or increase our revenues could be harmed if we are unable to
strengthen and maintain our brand image.
We have
spent significant amounts in branding our Bergio and Bergio Bridal
lines. We believe that primary factors in determining customer buying
decisions, especially in the jewelry industry, are determined by price,
confidence in the merchandise and quality associated with a
brand. The ability to differentiate products from competitors of the
Company has been a factor in attracting consumers. However, if the
Company’s ability to promote its brand fails to garner brand recognition, its
ability to generate revenues may suffer. If the Company fails to
differentiate its products, its ability to sell its products wholesale will be
adversely affected. These factors could result in lower selling
prices and sales volumes, which could adversely affect its financial condition
and results of operations.
We
maintain a relatively large inventory of our raw materials and if this inventory
is lost due to theft, our results of operations would be negatively
impacted.
We
purchase large volumes of precious metals and store significant quantities of
raw materials and jewelry products at our facility in New
Jersey. Although we have an insurance policy with Lloyd’s of London,
if we were to encounter significant inventory losses due to third party or
employee theft from our facility which required us to implement additional
security measures, this would increase our operating costs. Also such
losses of inventory could exceed the limits of, or be subject to an exclusion
from, coverage under our current insurance policy. Claims filed by us
under our insurance policies could lead to increases in the insurance premiums
payable by us or possible termination of coverage under the relevant
policy.
If
we were to experience substantial defaults by our customers on accounts
receivable, this could have a material adverse affect on our liquidity and
results of operations.
A
significant portion of our working capital consists of accounts receivable from
customers. If customers responsible for a large amount of accounts
receivable were to become insolvent or otherwise unable to pay for our products,
or to make payments in a timely manner, our liquidity and results of operations
could be materially adversely affected. An economic or industry
downturn could materially affect the ability to collect these accounts
receivable, which could then result in longer payment cycles, increased
collections costs and defaults in excess of management’s
expectations. A significant deterioration in the ability to collect
on accounts receivable could affect our cash flow and working capital
position.
We
May Not Be Able To Increase Sales Or Otherwise Successfully Operate Our
Business, Which Could Have A Significant Negative Impact On Our Financial
Condition
We
believe that the key to our success is to increase our revenues and available
cash. We may not have the resources required to promote our business and its
potential benefits. If we are unable to gain market acceptance of our business,
we will not be able to generate enough revenue to achieve and maintain
profitability or to continue our operations.
We may
not be able to increase our sales or effectively operate our business. To the
extent we are unable to achieve sales growth, we may continue to incur losses.
We may not be successful or make progress in the growth and operation of our
business. Our current and future expense levels are based on operating plans and
estimates of future sales and revenues and are subject to increase as strategies
are implemented. Even if our sales grow, we may be unable to adjust spending in
a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall.
Further,
if we substantially increase our operating expenses to increase sales and
marketing, and such expenses are not subsequently followed by increased
revenues, our operating performance and results would be adversely affected and,
if sustained, could have a material adverse effect on our business. To the
extent we implement cost reduction efforts to align our costs with revenue, our
sales could be adversely affected.
We
May Be Unable To Manage Growth, Which May Impact Our Potential
Profitability.
Successful
implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth. Growth
could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources. To
manage growth effectively, we will need to:
|
·
|
Establish
definitive business strategies, goals and
objectives
|
|
·
|
Maintain
a system of management controls
|
|
·
|
Attract
and retain qualified personnel, as well as, develop, train and manage
management-level and other
employees
|
If we
fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition or
operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price may
decline.
If
we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed
from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to
sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in
the secondary market.
Companies
trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be
current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation
privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. More specifically, the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has enacted Rule 6530, which
determines eligibility of issuers quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board by requiring
an issuer to be current in its filings with the Commission. Pursuant
to Rule 6530(e), if we file our reports late with the Commission three times our
securities will be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board for failure to timely
file. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be
severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell
our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the
secondary market.
FINRA
sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and
sell our stock.
In
addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules
that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer
must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for
that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their
non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to
obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment
objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the
FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced
securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA
requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their
customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our
stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Because
our current chief executive officer and sole director, Mr. Berge Abajian, owns a
significant percentage of our company, he will be able to exercise significant
influence over our company, despite your ability to vote.
Berge
Abajian, our chief executive officer and sole director, beneficially owns a
majority of our common stock. Accordingly, Mr. Abajian will be able
to determine the composition of our board of directors, will retain the
effective voting power to approve all matters requiring shareholder approval,
will prevail in matters requiring shareholder approval, including, in particular
the election and removal of directors, and will continue to have significant
influence over our business. As a result of his ownership and
position in the Company, Mr. Abajian is able to influence all matters requiring
shareholder action, including significant corporate transactions. In
addition, sales of significant amount of shares held by Mr. Abajian, or the
prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.
Trading
of our stock may be restricted by the Securities Exchange Commission’s penny
stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our
stock.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally
define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as
defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per
share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny
stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and
“accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to
institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth
in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly
with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a
transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a
standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, which provides information about penny stocks and the
nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must
provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock,
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in
the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and
salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in
writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in
writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock
rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt
from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination
that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements
may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary
market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently,
these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our
securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest
in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

THE
OFFERING
This
offering relates to the sale of our common stock by selling stockholders, who
intend to sell up to 3,367,080 shares of our common stock which are subject to
issuance under the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 16,
2009. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement the Company may,
at its discretion, periodically sell to Tangiers shares of its common stock for
a total purchase price of up to $25,000,000. For each share of common stock
purchased under the Securities Purchase Agreement, Tangiers will
pay us 88% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the
Company's common stock as quoted by Bloomberg, LP on the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board or other principal market on which the Company's common stock is
traded for the five days immediately following the notice date. The price paid
by Tangiers for the Company's stock shall be determined as of the date of each
individual request for an advance under the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Tangiers’ obligation to purchase shares of the Company's common stock under the
Securities Purchase Agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the
Company obtaining an effective registration statement for shares of the
Company's common stock sold under the Securities Purchase Agreement and is
limited to $250,000 per ten consecutive trading days after the advance notice is
provided to Tangiers. The Securities Purchase Agreement shall terminate and
Tangiers shall have no further obligation to make advances under the Securities
Purchase Agreement at the earlier of the passing of 24 months after the date
that the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the Company’s registration
statement effective or the Company receives advances from Tangiers equal to
the $25,000,000. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement , Tangiers
received a one-time commitment fee equal to $500,000 of the Company's common
stock divided by the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company's
common stock during the 30 days immediately following the date of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, as quoted by Bloomberg, LP.
The
commitment amount of the Securities Purchase Agreement is $25,000,000. After
estimated fees and offering costs, we will receive net proceeds of approximately
$24,950,000 provided we are able to continue to maintain a sufficient number of
shares authorized for issuance under the Securities Purchase Agreement and are
able to register those shares for issuance to Tangiers. We will be required to
file another registration statement if we intend to obtain the full amount of
funds available to us under the Securities Purchase Agreement. If we issue to
Tangiers all 3,367,080 shares of our common stock we will only be able to
receive approximately $1,194,473 in net proceeds after paying expenses related
to this registration statement of approximately $50,000.
Tangiers
intends to sell any shares purchased under the Securities Purchase Agreement at
the then prevailing market price. Tangiers may sell shares of our common stock
that are subject to a particular advance before it actually receives those
shares. These sales of our common stock in the public market could lower the
market price of our common stock. In the event that the market price of our
common stock decreases, we would not be able to draw down the remaining balance
available under the Securities Purchase Agreement with the number of shares
being registered in the accompanying registration statement.
Under the
terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Tangiers is prohibited from engaging
in short sales of our stock. Short selling is the act of borrowing a security
from a broker and selling it, with the understanding that it must later be
bought back (hopefully at a lower price) and returned to the broker. Short
selling is a technique used by investors who try to profit from the falling
price of a stock. Among other things, this Prospectus relates to the shares of
our common stock to be issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement. There are
substantial risks to investors as a result of the issuance of shares of our
common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement. These risks include
dilution of our shareholders, significant declines in our stock price and our
inability to draw sufficient funds when needed.
There is
an inverse relationship between our stock price and the number of shares to be
issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement. That is, as our stock price
declines, we would be required to issue a greater number of shares under the
Securities Purchase Agreement for a given advance.
This
Prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold
from time to time by the selling stockholders. There will be no proceeds to us
from the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering. The selling
stockholders will receive all such proceeds.
However,
we will receive proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock to Tangiers
under the Securities Purchase Agreement. Tangiers will purchase our shares of
common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement at a 12% discount to the
current market price. The purchase price of the shares purchased under the
Securities Purchase Agreement will be equal to 88% of the volume weighted
average price of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the
five (5) consecutive trading days immediately following the notice
date.
Pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we cannot draw more than $250,000 every 10
trading days.
For
illustrative purposes only, we have set forth below our intended use of proceeds
for the range of net proceeds indicated below to be received under the
Securities Purchase Agreement. The table assumes estimated offering expenses of
$50,000. The figures below are estimates only, and may be changed due to various
factors, including the timing of the receipt of the proceeds.

The
Securities Purchase Agreement allows us to use our proceeds for general
corporate purposes. We have chosen to pursue the Securities Purchase Agreement
funding because it will make a large amount of cash available to us with the
advantage of allowing us to decide when, and how much, we will draw from this
financing. We will be in control of the draw down amounts and hope to be able to
draw down from the Securities Purchase Agreement whenever the Company deems that
such funds are needed. Our objective will be to draw down on the Securities
Purchase Agreement funding during periods of positive results for us and during
stages when our stock price is rising, in order to control and minimize, as much
as possible, the potential dilution for our current and future stockholders. It
may not be possible for us to always meet our objective; therefore, we will
continue to identify alternative sources of financing, as we always have,
including additional private placements of our stock.
DETERMINATION OF
OFFERING PRICE
The
shares of our common stock are being offered for sale by the selling
stockholders at prices established on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board during
the term of this offering, at prices different than prevailing market prices or
at privately negotiated prices.
At our
current assumed market price of $0.3696 we will need to issue 67,640,693 shares
in order to obtain the full $25,000,000 under the Securities Purchase
Agreement. The issuance of the 67,640,693 shares to Tangiers pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement will have a dilutive impact on our
stockholders. For any particular advance, we will need to issue a greater number
of shares of common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement which would
expose our existing stockholders to greater dilution.
The
following table presents information regarding the selling shareholders. A
description of our relationship to the selling shareholders’ and how the selling
shareholders acquired the shares to be sold in this offering is detailed in the
information immediately following this table.

Shares
Acquired In Financing Transactions
Tangiers.
Tangiers is the investor under the Securities Purchase Agreement. All investment
decisions of, and control of, Tangiers are held by Robert Papiri and Michael
Sobeck its managing partners. Tangiers Capital, LLC, makes the investment
decisions on behalf of and controls Tangiers. Tangiers acquired all shares being
registered in this offering in a financing transaction with us. This transaction
is explained below:
Securities
Purchase Agreement. On November 16, 2009 we entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement with Tangiers. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement
the Company may, at its discretion, periodically sell to Tangiers shares of its
common stock for a total purchase price of up to $25,000,000. For each share of
common stock purchased under the Securities Purchase Agreement, Tangiers will
pay us 88% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the
Company's common stock as quoted by Bloomberg, LP on the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board or other principal market on which the Company's common stock is
traded for the five days immediately following the notice date. The price paid
by Tangiers for the Company's stock shall be determined as of the date of each
individual request for an advance under the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Tangiers’ obligation to purchase shares of the Company's common stock under the
Securities Purchase Agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the
Company obtaining an effective registration statement for shares of the
Company's common stock sold under the Securities Purchase Agreement and is
limited to $250,000 per ten consecutive trading days after the advance notice is
provided to Tangiers. The Securities Purchase Agreement shall terminate and
Tangiers shall have no further obligation to make advances under the Securities
Purchase Agreement at the earlier of the passing of 24 months after the date
that the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the Company’s registration
statement effective or the Company receives advances from Tangiers equal to
the $25,000,000. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, Tangiers will
receive a one-time commitment fee equal to $500,000 of the Company's common
stock divided by the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company's
common stock during the 30 business days immediately following the date of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, as quoted by Bloomberg, LP.
As of
December 28, 2009, the shares of common stock to be issued in order to
receive advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement upon issuance would
equal approximately 30% of our outstanding common stock.
There are
certain risks related to sales by Tangiers, including:
|
·
|
The
outstanding shares will be issued based on a discount to the market rate.
As a result, the lower the stock price is around the time Tangiers is
issued shares, the greater chance that Tangiers gets more shares. This
could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of
common stock.
|
|
·
|
To
the extent Tangiers sells our common stock, our common stock price may
decrease due to the additional shares in the market. This could allow
Tangiers to sell greater amounts of common stock, the sales of which would
further depress the stock price.
|
|
·
|
The
significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as Tangiers
sells material amounts of our common stock could encourage short sales by
Tangiers or others. This could place further downward pressure on the
price of our common stock.
|
The
selling stockholders have advised us that the sale or distribution of our common
stock owned by the selling stockholders may be sold or transferred directly to
purchasers by the selling stockholders as principals or through one or more
underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents from time to time in one or more
transactions (which may involve crosses or block transactions) (i) on the
over-the-counter market or in any other market on which the price of our shares
of common stock are quoted or (ii) in transactions otherwise than on the
over-the-counter market. Any of such transactions may be effected at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing
market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated
or fixed prices, in each case as determined by the selling stockholders or by
agreement between the selling stockholders and underwriters, brokers, dealers or
agents, or purchasers. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by
selling their shares of common stock to or through underwriters, brokers,
dealers or agents, such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may receive
compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the
selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of common stock for whom
they may act as agent (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to
particular underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be in excess of those
customary in the types of transactions involved).
Tangiers
is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in
connection with the sale of common stock under the Securities Purchase
Agreement. Tangiers will pay us 88% of, or a 12% discount to, the volume
weighted average price of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin
Board or other principal trading market on which our common stock is traded for
the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately following the advance date. In
addition, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, Tangiers will receive a
one-time commitment fee equal to $500,000 of the Company's common stock divided
by the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock during
the 10 business days immediately following the date of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, as quoted by Bloomberg, LP.
The
commitment amount of the Securities Purchase Agreement is $25,000,000. After
estimated fees and offering costs, we will receive net proceeds of approximately
$24,950,000. At our current share price of $0.42 per share we will sell our
stock to Tangiers at 88% of the market price per share which equates to a share
price of $0.3696. If our current share price remains at $0.42 we will need
to register 67,640,693 shares of our common stock in order to obtain the full
$25,000,000 available to us under the Securities Purchase Agreement. The total
amount of 3,367,080 shares of our common stock that we are registering under
this registration statement will be issued to Tangiers in order to obtain the
funds available to us under the Securities Purchase Agreement. Which means
we will be required to file another registration statement if we intend to
obtain the full amount of funds available to us under the Securities Purchase
Agreement. If we issue to Tangiers all 3,367,080 shares of our common stock we
will register, we will only be able to receive approximately $1,194,473 in net
proceeds after paying expenses related to this registration statement of
approximately $50,000.
The
dollar amount of the equity line was based on a number of considerations which
include (i) the Company’s capital requirements; (ii) the Company’s then share
price and then number of shares outstanding; and (iii) Tangiers’ ability to
purchase shares in an amount required to provide capital to the
Company.
Under the
Securities Purchase Agreement Tangiers contractually agrees not to engage in any
short sales of our stock and to our knowledge Tangiers has not engaged in any
short sales or any other hedging activities related to our stock.
Tangiers
was formed is a Delaware limited partnership. Tangiers is a domestic hedge fund
in the business of investing in and financing public companies. Tangiers does
not intend to make a market in our stock or to otherwise engage in stabilizing
or other transactions intended to help support the stock price. Prospective
investors should take these factors into consideration before purchasing our
common stock.
Under the
securities laws of certain states, the shares of our common stock may be sold in
such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. The selling
stockholders are advised to ensure that any underwriters, brokers, dealers or
agents effecting transactions on behalf of the selling stockholders are
registered to sell securities in all fifty states. In addition, in certain
states the shares of our common stock may not be sold unless the shares have
been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from
registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
We will
pay all of the expenses incident to the registration, offering and sale of the
shares of our common stock to the public hereunder other than commissions, fees
and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers and agents. If any of these
other expenses exists, we expect the selling stockholders to pay these expenses.
We have agreed to indemnify Tangiers and its controlling persons against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We estimate that
the expenses of the offering to be borne by us will be approximately $50,000.
The offering expenses are estimated as follows: a SEC registration fee of
$100.83 accounting fees of $14,800 and legal fees of $35,000. We will not
receive any proceeds from the sale of any of the shares of our common stock by
the selling stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of our
common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The
selling stockholders are subject to applicable provisions of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its regulations, including, Regulation M.
Under Registration M, the selling stockholders or their agents may not bid for,
purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our
common stock while such selling stockholders are distributing shares covered by
this prospectus. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation S-K and as stated in
Part II of this Registration Statement, the Company must file a post-effective
amendment to the accompanying Registration Statement once informed of a material
change from the information set forth with respect to the Plan of
Distribution.
OTC
Bulletin Board Considerations
The OTC
Bulletin Board is separate and distinct from the NASDAQ stock market. NASDAQ has
no business relationship with issuers of securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities,
do not apply to securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Although
the NASDAQ stock market has rigorous listing standards to ensure the high
quality of its issuers, and can delist issuers for not meeting those standards,
the OTC Bulletin Board has no listing standards. Rather, it is the market maker
who chooses to quote a security on the system, files the application, and is
obligated to comply with keeping information about the issuer in its files. The
FINRA cannot deny an application by a market maker to quote the stock of a
company. The only requirement for inclusion in the OTC Bulletin Board is that
the issuer be current in its reporting requirements with the SEC.
Investors
must contact a broker-dealer to trade OTC Bulletin Board securities. Investors
do not have direct access to the bulletin board service. For bulletin board
securities, there only has to be one market maker.
Bulletin
board transactions are conducted almost entirely manually. Because there are no
automated systems for negotiating trades on the bulletin board, they are
conducted via telephone. In times of heavy market volume, the limitations of
this process may result in a significant increase in the time it takes to
execute investor orders. Therefore, when investors place market orders – an
order to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market price –
it is possible for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly during
the lapse of time between placing a market order and getting
execution.
Because
bulletin board stocks are usually not followed by analysts, there may be lower
trading volume than for NASDAQ-listed securities.
LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
The
Company is not a party to any litigation.
DIRECTORS,
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS
The
following table sets forth the names and positions of our executive officers and

serve for one year or until successors are elected and quality. Our Board
of Directors elects our officers, and their terms of office are at the
discretion of the Board, except to the extent governed by an employment
contract.

(1) Berge
Abajian became the Company’s sole Director and Chief Executive Officer in
October, 2009 as part of the Company’s acquisition of the Diamond Information
Institute, Inc., a publically held New Jersey
corporation. Immediately following the closing of the acquisition the
Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and sole director, Mr. Owen Gibson,
resigned and Mr. Abajian was appointed as our sole officer and
director.
(2) Arpi
Abajian was appointed to serve as Secretary by the Company’s Board of Directors
on October 29, 2009. Ms. Abajian is the wife of Mr. Abajian the Company’s sole
Director and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
Berge
Abajian became the Chief Executive Officer of Bergio International in
October 2009. Prior to that, Mr. Abajian served as CEO of the Diamond
Information Institute, a publicly traded company listed on the Over-the
Counter-Bulletin Board, from 1988 to October 2009. Mr. Abajian has a BS in
Business Administration from Fairleigh Dickinson University and is well known
and respected in the jewelry industry. Since 2005, Mr. Abajian has
served as the President of the East Coast branch of the Armenian Jewelry
Association and has also served as a Board Member on MJSA (Manufacturing
Jewelers and Suppliers of America), New York Jewelry Association, and the
2001-2002 Luxury Show.
Arpi
Abajian, was appointed our Secretary on October 29, 2009, by the
Company’s Board of Directors. For the past 10 years Ms. Abajian has worked at
Diamond Information Institute in various administrative
positions. Ms. Abajian is currently married to the Chief Executive
Officer and Sole Director of our company and does not serve on the board of any
other companies.
Involvement
In Certain Legal Proceedings
None of
our officers, directors, promoters or control persons have been involved in the
past five years in any of the following:
(1) any
bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a
general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or
within two years prior to that time;
(2) any
conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
(3) Being
subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended
or vacated, or any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily
enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type
of business, securities or banking activities; or
(4) Being
found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission
or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state
securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed,
suspended, or vacated.
Directors
We
currently have one director. Immediately prior to the effective time
of the Acquisition, Owen Gibson resigned as our sole officer and director.
Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, Berge Abajian, who
prior to the Acquisition was the director of the Diamond Information Institute,
Inc, was appointed as our director.
All
directors hold office for one-year terms until the election and qualification of
their successors. Officers are elected by the board of directors and serve at
the discretion of the board.
There are
no family relationships among our directors and executive officers.
Meetings
of Our Board of Directors
Our board
of directors did not hold any meetings during the most recently completed fiscal
year end. Various matters were approved by consent resolution, which in each
case was signed by each of the members of the Board then serving.
Committees
of the Board
We do not
currently have a compensation committee, executive committee, or stock plan
committee.
Audit
Committee
We do not
have a separately-designated standing 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.
Nomination
Committee
Our Board
of Directors does not maintain a nominating committee. As a result, no written
charter governs the director nomination process. Our size and the size of our
Board, at this time, do not require a separate nominating
committee.
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 are in
our best interests as well as 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 shareholder nominees because it believes that its current nomination
process is sufficient to identify directors who serve our best
interests.
SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The
following table sets forth certain information known to us with respect to the
beneficial ownership of our Common Stock; (1) all persons who are beneficial
owners of 5% or more of our voting securities, (2) each director, (3) each
executive officer, and (4) all directors and executive officers as a group. The
information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock has been
presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Under these rules, a person may be deemed to beneficially own any
shares of capital stock as to which such person, directly or indirectly, has or
shares voting power or investment power, and to beneficially own any shares of
our capital stock as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or
investment power within 60 days through the exercise of any stock option or
other right. The percentage of beneficial ownership as to any person as of a
particular date is calculated by dividing (a) (i) the number of shares
beneficially owned by such person plus (ii) the number of shares as to which
such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days
by (b) the total number of shares outstanding as of such date, plus any shares
that such person has the right to acquire from us within 60 days. Including
those shares in the tables does not, however, constitute an admission that the
named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares.
Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity named in the table has sole
voting power and investment power (or shares that power with that person’s
spouse) with respect to all shares of capital stock listed as owned by that
person or entity.
Except as
otherwise indicated, all shares are owned directly and the percentage shown is
based on 48,329,604 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the
effective date of the Acquisition. Addresses for all of the individuals listed
in the table below are c/o Bergio International, 12 Daniel Road East Fairfield,
New Jersey 07004.

(4) Beneficial
Ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with
respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants, or
convertible debt currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or
convertible within 60 days of December 28, 2009 are deemed outstanding for
computing the percentage of the person holding such option or warrant.
Percentages are based on a total of 48,329,609 shares of common stock
outstanding on December 28, 2009 and shares issuable upon the exercise of
options, warrants exercisable, and debt convertible on or within 60 days of
December 28, 2009, as described above. The inclusion in the aforementioned table
of those shares, however, does not constitute an admission that the named
shareholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares. Unless
otherwise indicated, to our knowledge based upon information produced by the
persons and entities named in the table, each person or entity named in the
table has sole voting power and investment power, or shares voting and/or
investment power with his or her spouse, with respect to all shares of capital
stock listed as owned by that person or entity.
General
The
following description of our capital stock and the provisions of our Articles of
Incorporation and By-Laws, each as amended, is only a summary.
Common
Stock
We have
100,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share of common stock
authorized, of which 48,329,604 shares were outstanding
as of December 28, 2009.
Voting
Rights
Holders
of common stock have the right to cast one vote for each share of stock in his
or her own name on the books of the corporation, whether represented in person
or by proxy, on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of common stock,
including the election of directors. There is no right to cumulative
voting in the election of directors. Except where a greater
requirement is provided by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation, or by
the Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holder
or holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the our common voting
stock shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote by the
holders of a majority of such outstanding shares is also required to effect
certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or amendment
of the Company's Articles of Incorporation.
Dividends
There are
no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that restrict us from
declaring dividends. The Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides
that a corporation may pay dividends out of surplus, out the corporation's net
profits for the preceding fiscal year, or both provided that there remains in
the stated capital account an amount equal to the par value represented by all
shares of the corporation's stock raving a distribution preference.
We have
not declared any dividends, and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the
foreseeable future.
Pre-emptive
Rights
Holders
of common stock are not entitled to pre-emptive or subscription or conversion
rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the
Common Stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares of
common stock offered hereby will be when issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
Options
We have
not issued and do not have outstanding any options to purchase shares of our
common stock.
Preferred
Stock
We have
10,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.001 per share of preferred
stock authorized. No shares of preferred stock have been
issued.
Anti-Takeover
Effects Of Provisions Of The Articles Of Incorporation Authorized And Unissued
Stock
The
authorized but unissued shares of our common stock are available for future
issuance without our stockholders’ approval. These additional shares may
be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes including but not limited to
future public or direct offerings to raise additional capital, corporate
acquisitions and employee incentive plans. The issuance of such shares may
also be used to deter a potential takeover of the Company that may otherwise be
beneficial to stockholders by diluting the shares held by a potential suitor or
issuing shares to a stockholder that will vote in accordance with the Company’s
Board of Directors’ desires. A takeover may be beneficial to stockholders
because, among other reasons, a potential suitor may offer stockholders a
premium for their shares of stock compared to the then-existing market
price.
The
existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of preferred stock
may enable the Board of Directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current
management which would render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain
control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or
otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management.
INTERESTS
OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
No expert
or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of
this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities
being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration
or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis or had, or
is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, directly
or indirectly, in the registrant or any of its parents or
subsidiaries.
DISCLOSURE
OF SEC POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES
ACT
LIABILITIES
Our
Articles of Incorporation include an indemnification provision under which we
have agreed to indemnify our directors and officers of from and against certain
claims arising from or related to future acts or omissions as a director or
officer of the Company. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and
controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of Bergio International, Inc.+ in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered) we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
The
audited financial statements included in this prospectus and elsewhere in the
registration statement for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2008 have been audited by MSPC Certified Public
Accountants and Advisors. The reports of MSPC Certified Public
Accountants and Advisors are included in this prospectus in reliance upon the
authority of this firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
CHANGES
IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
On
October 22, 2009, Board of Directors of the Company dismissed Seale and Beers,
CPAs, its independent registered public account firm. On October 27, 2009, the
accounting firm of Maddox Ungar Silberstein, PLLC was engaged as the Company’s
new independent registered public accounting firm. The Board of Directors of the
Company approved of the dismissal of Seale and Beers, CPAs and the engagement of
Maddox Ungar Silberstein, PLLC as its independent auditor.
Seale and
Beers, CPAs did not produce a report on the Company’s financial statements for
either of the past two years or any interim period through the date of dismissal
on October 22, 2009.
During
the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through October 22, 2009, there
were no disagreements with Seale and Beers, CPAs whether or not resolved, on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Seale and Beers, CPAs’
satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of
the disagreement in connection with any report on the Company’s financial
statements.
The
Company has requested that Seale and Beers, CPAs furnish it with a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees
with the above statements. The letter is attached as an exhibit to this
Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A.
On
October 27, 2009, the Company engaged Maddox Ungar Silberstein, PLLC as its
independent accountant. During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim
periods preceding the engagement and through October 27, 2009, the Company has
not consulted Maddox Ungar Silberstein, PLLC regarding any of the matters set
forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
The
opinion regarding validity of the shares offered herein has been provided by the
law offices of Christopher K. Davies, Esq. and has been filed with the
Registration Statement.
Company
Overview
We were
incorporated as “Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc.” on July 24, 2007, in the State
of Delaware for the purpose of engaging in mineral properties. On October
19, 2009, we entered into the Exchange Agreement with Diamond Information
Institute, whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of
Diamond Information Institute and have changed the name of the Company to Bergio
International.
As a
result of entering into the Exchange Agreement, we have determined to pursue the
business plan of Diamond Information Institute. We are now in the business of
designing and manufacturing upscale jewelry.
Going
Concern
The
Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source
of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as
a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses
until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate
capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
Both Alba
Mineral Exploration and Diamond Information Institute received going concern
opinions for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and
2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009
Diamond had a negative working capital of $226,617 and a net loss of
$359,412. For the year ended December 31, 2008 Diamond had a negative
working capital of $82,333 and a net loss of $1,106,856.
On a pro
forma basis the Company had a negative working capital of $236,933 for the
period ended September 30, 2009 and a net loss of $367,173. For the year ended
December 31, 2008 the Company had working capital of $79,778 and a net loss of
$1,143,797.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to successfully secure other sources of financing and attain profitable
operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.
If we are
unable to generate profits and unable to continue to obtain financing to meet
our working capital requirements, we may have to curtail our business sharply,
or cease operations altogether. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent
upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a
timely basis to retain our current financing, to obtain additional financing,
and, ultimately, to attain profitability. Should any of these events not occur,
we will be adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.
Our
Business
We are
entering into our 20th year of operations and concentrate on boutique, upscale
jewelry stores. We currently sell our jewelry to approximately 150
independent jewelry retailers across the United States and have spent over $3
million in branding the Bergio name through tradeshows, trade advertising,
national advertising and billboard advertising since launching the line in
1995. We have manufacturing control over our line as a result of
having a manufacturing facility in New Jersey as well as subcontracts with
facilities in Italy and Bangkok.
It is our
intention to establish Bergio International as a holding company for the purpose
of acquiring established jewelry design and manufacturing firms who possess
branded product lines. Branded product lines are products and/or
collections whereby the jewelry manufacturers have established their products
within the industry through advertising in consumer and trade magazines as well
as possibly obtaining federally registered trademarks of their products and
collections. 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.
We intend
to acquire design and manufacturing firms throughout the United States and
Europe. If and when we pursue any potential acquisition candidates,
we intend to target the top 10% of the world’s jewelry manufactures that have
already created an identity and brand in the jewelry industry. We
intend to locate potential candidates through our relationships in the industry
and expect to structure the acquisition through the payment of cash, which will
most likely be provided from third party financing, as well as our common
stock but not cash generated from our operations. In the event
we obtain financing from third parties for any potential acquisitions, Bergio
International may agree to issue our common stock in exchange for the capital
received. However, as of the date of this Current Report, we do not
have any binding agreements with any potential acquisition candidates or
arrangements with any third parties for financing.
Principal
Products and Services
We have
historically sold our products directly to distributors, retailers and other
wholesalers, who then in turn sell their products to consumers through retail
stores. Independent retail jewelers that offer the current Bergio
line are not under formal contracts and most sell competing
products.
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 other precious
stones. We continuously innovate and change our designs based upon
consumer trends and as a result of new designs being created we believe we are
able to differentiate ourselves and strengthen our brands. We sell
our products to our customers at price points that reflect the market price of
the base material plus a markup reflecting our design fee and processing
fees.
Each
year, most jewelry manufacturers bring new products to market. We believe that
we are a trendsetter in jewelry manufacturing. As a result, we come
out with a variety of products throughout the year that we believe have
commercial potential to meet what we feel are new trends within the
industry. The “Bergio” designs consist of upscale jewelry that
includes white diamonds, yellow diamonds, pearls, and colored stones, in
18K gold, platinum, and palladium. We currently design and produce
approximately 50 to 75 product styles. Prices for our products range
from $400 to $200,000.
Our
product range is divided into three fashion lines: (i)18K gold line, (ii) a
bridal line, and (iii) a couture and/or one of kind pieces. Our officer and
director, Mr. Abajian, consults regularly with the design teams of his Italian
manufacturers, which usually results in a constant continuation of new products
and sometimes entire lines being developed. Typically, new products
come on line approximately every 3 months and most recently, Bergio
International introduced its latest collection “Power in Pink”, which launched
in April 2008 and consists of approximately 35 pieces made with pink gold and
diamonds. Depending on the timing and styling at any point in time,
our products and collections would fall in one of the various categories shown
below:
1.
|
Whimsical.
The whimsical line includes charms, crosses and other “add-on”
pieces.
|
2.
|
Middle.
The proposed middle line will consist of fashion jewelry utilizing colored
stones, diamonds and pearls applied to a variety of applications such as
necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets and rings. The metals that we
intend to use for the Middle line include platinum, 18K white & yellow
gold.
|
3.
|
Couture.
The Couture line is our most luxurious line, and consists of one of a kind
pieces, new showcase products each year, and predominantly utilizes
diamonds, platinum and other precious metals and stones of the highest
grade and quality available.
|
4.
|
Bridal.
The Bridal line is our core business. We attempt to stay on the forefront
of trends and designs in the bridal market with the latest in wedding
sets, engagement rings and wedding bands for both men and
women.
|
Each
year, we attempt to expand and/or enhance these lines, while constantly seeking
to identify trends that we believe exist in the market for new styles or types
of merchandise. Design and innovation are the primary focus of our
manufacturing and we are less concerned with the supply and capacity of raw
materials. Over the last 19 years, Mr. Abajian has been the primary
influencer over the Bergio collections. Mr. Abajian with his
contacts, which are located mostly overseas, regularly meets to discuss,
conceptualize and develop Bergio’s various products and
collections. When necessary, additional suppliers and design teams
can be brought in as the market needs dictate. Management intends to maintain a
diverse line of jewelry to mitigate concentration of sales and continuously
expand our market reach.
Distribution
Methods and Marketing
We
continue to devote our efforts towards brand development and utilize marketing
concepts in an attempt to enhance the marketability of our
products. During the past several years, we have carried out our
brand development strategy based on our product quality and design excellence,
which is highlighted through our sales personnel. We have established
significant networks and relationships with retailers which allow our products
to be promoted and sold nationwide. We maintain a broad base of
customers and concentrate on retailers that sell fashionable and high end
jewelry. We also work with our customers to adjust product strategies
based on the customer’s feedback to try and decrease the likelihood of
overstocked or undesired products.
We intend
to further promote our products and brand by participating in trade shows and
various exhibitions, consumer and trade advertisements, billboard
advertisements, as well as make specialty appearances in retail stores carrying
our products.
Sources
and Availability of Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers
Most of
the inventory and raw materials we purchase occurs through our manufacturers
located in Europe. The inventory that we directly maintain is based
on recent sales and revenues of our products but ultimately is at the discretion
of Mr. Abajian and his experience in the industry. Our inventories
are commodities that can be incorporated into future products or can be sold on
the open market. Additionally, we perform physical inventory
inspections on a quarterly basis to assess upcoming styling needs and consider
the current pricing in metals and stones needed for our products.
We
acquire all raw gemstones, precious metals and other raw materials used for
manufacturing our products on the open market. We are not constrained
in our purchasing by any contracts with any suppliers and acquire raw material
based upon, among other things, availability and price on the open wholesale
market.
Approximately
80% of our product line is contracted to manufacturing suppliers in Italy, who
then procure the raw materials in accordance with the specifications and designs
submitted by Bergio International. However, the general supply of
precious metals and stones used by us can be reasonably forecast even though the
prices will fluctuate often. Any price differentials in the precious
metals and stones will typically be passed on to the customer.
For the
raw materials not procured by contracted manufacturers, we have approximately 5
suppliers that compete for our business, with our largest gold suppliers being
Carrera Casting and Metro Gold. Most of our precious stones are
purchased from C. Mahandra & Sons and EFD. We do not have any
formal agreements with any of our suppliers but have established an ongoing
relationship with each of our suppliers.
Customers
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, Shane & Co. accounted for approximately
9.5% of our annual sales. Previously, we had one customer, Western
Stones and Metals, during the year ended December 31, 2007, that accounted for
approximately 9% of its annual sales. During the next twelve months,
it is anticipated that Shane & Co. may account for more than 5% of our
annual sales based on recent orders placed and our current
projections. We are not dependent on any specific customers as a
result of having very few customers representing 5% or more of our annual
sales.
Intellectual
Property
Bergio is
a federally registered trademarked name that we own. Since the first
trademark of “Bergio” was filed all advertising, marketing, trade shows and
overall presentation of our product to the public has prominently displayed this
trademark. As additional lines are designed and added to our
products, we may trademark new names to distinguish the particular products and
jewelry lines.
Personnel
At
December, 2009, we had 3 full-time employees and 2 part-time
employees. Of our current employees, 1 is sales and marketing
personnel, 2 are manufacturing and 2 hold administrative and executive
positions. No personnel are covered by a collective bargaining
agreement. Our relationship with our employees is believed to be
good. We intend to use the services of independent consultants and
contractors when possible or until we are able to hire personnel in
house.
Competition
and Market Overview
The
jewelry design and manufacturer’s industry is extremely competitive and has low
barriers to entry. We compete with other jewelry design and
manufacturers of upscale jewelry to the retail jewelry stores. There
are over 4,000 jewelry design and manufacturer’s companies, several of which
have greater experience, brand name recognition and financial resources than
Bergio International.
Our
management believes that the jewelry industry competes in the global marketplace
and therefore must be adaptable to ensure a competitive
measure. Recently the U.S. economy has encountered a slowdown and
Bergio International anticipates the U.S. economy will most likely remain weak
at least through the end of 2010. Consumer spending for discretionary goods such
as jewelry is sensitive to changes in consumer confidence and ultimately
consumer confidence is affected by general business considerations in the U.S.
economy. Consumer spending for discretionary spending generally
declines during times of falling consumer confidence, which may affect our
retail sale of our products. U.S. consumer confidence reflected these
slowing conditions throughout 2008. The impact of the slowing U.S.
economy is not usually known until the second quarter of any given year in our
industry thus it is hard to estimate the actual impact the slowing economy will
have on our business.
According
to the United States Department of Commerce outlook in 2008, the United States
apparent consumption of precious metal jewelry was expected to grow over the
next few years at a slow but steady rate, before picking up considerably in
2010. A stronger economy, more spending by the baby boomers and young
professionals with an overall trend toward luxury products will lead to future
growth. From 2007 to 2011, apparent consumption of precious metal
jewelry is expected to increase by an average of 3.9% per year, totaling $14.0
billion in 2011. Therefore, we intend to make strong efforts to
maintain our brand in the industry through our focus on the innovation and
design of our products as well as being able to consolidate and increase cost
efficiency when possible through acquisitions.
Environmental
Regulation and Compliance
The
United States environmental laws do not materially impact our manufacturing
operations as a result of having a large majority of our jewelry manufacturing
being conducted overseas.
In fact,
approximately 80% of our manufacturing is contracted to quality suppliers in the
vicinity of Valenza, Italy with the remaining 20% of setting and finishing work
being conducted in Bergio International’s Fairfield, New Jersey
facility. The setting and finishing work done in our New Jersey
facility involves the use of precision lasers, which use soap and water rather
than soldering. Also a standard polishing compound is used for the
finishing work but it does not have a material impact on our cost and effect of
compliance with environmental laws.
Government
Regulation
Currently,
we are subject to all of the government regulations that regulate businesses
generally such as compliance with regulatory requirements of federal, state, and
local agencies and authorities, including regulations concerning workplace
safety, labor relations, and disadvantaged businesses. In
addition, our operations are affected by federal and state laws relating to
marketing practices in the retail jewelry industry. We are subject to the
jurisdiction of federal, various state and other taxing
authorities. From time to time, these taxing authorities review or
audit our business.
Description
of Property
Currently, we have a 1,730 square feet
design and manufacturing facility located in Fairfield, New Jersey, which is
currently being leased until August 31, 2010. We also rent office
space at this facility. We pay approximately $2,200 per
month. Since a majority of the manufacturing is conducted by
sub-contractors in Italy, the current space is presently adequate for the
performance of all company functions, which includes minimal manufacturing,
design and administrative needs.
Additionally,
we anticipate opening additional offices and/or design facilities in other
locations as we continue to implement our business plan throughout the United
States, when and if any acquisitions are completed in the future. At
the current time, our expansion plans are in the preliminary stages with no
formal negotiations being conducted. Most likely no expansions will
take place until additional revenues can be achieved or additional capital can
be raised to help offset the costs associated with any expansion.
Litigation
None
Reports
to Security Holders
We are
subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Accordingly, we file annual, quarterly and other reports and information
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You may read and copy these
reports, statements, or other information we file at the SEC's public reference
room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington D.C. 20549. Our filings are
also available to the public from commercial document retrieval services and the
Internet worldwide website maintained by the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission at www.sec.gov.
MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The
following discussion reflects our plan of operation. This discussion should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Diamond Information
Institute for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the interim period
ended September 30, 2009. This discussion contains forward-looking statements,
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, 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 under the heading “Risk
Factors.”
Overview
In
September 2009, the Company decided to discontinue its mineral exploration
activities. The Company subsequently agreed to return those mineral properties
to Mr. Owen Gibson in exchange for 3,310,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements have been restated to
show its mineral exploration activities as discontinued operations. The Company
has no assets or liabilities related to the discontinued operations as of
September 30, 2009
We were
incorporated on July 24, 2007 as Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc. under the laws
of the state of Delaware. We formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, also
known as Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc., an Alberta corporation. Alba
Mineral was formed to conduct our originally planned mineral exploration on the
Crow Hill mineral claim located on the Baie Verte Peninsula on Newfoundland
Island, Canada.
In
October 2009, subsequent to our reporting period, we acquired the business
operations of Diamond Information Institute, Inc., a New Jersey
corporation. As a result of this transaction, we abandoned our prior
business plan to develop the Crown Hill claim, in order to pursue what we
perceive to be the superior opportunity presented by the acquired
company. Consequently, we have transferred the rights to Alba Mineral
to our former officer and director, Owen Gibson, and certain of our prior
shareholders.
We are
now in the business of designing and manufacturing upscale jewelry. We relocated
our principal executive offices to 12 Daniel Road E. Fairfield, New Jersey
07004, and our telephone number is now (973) 227-3230. We have also
changed our name from Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc. to Bergio International,
Inc., and have discontinued all prior business operations in favor of the
business plan and operations of the acquired operations which will be our only
significant operations going forward. Our website is located at www.Bergio.com.
Going
Concern
The
Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source
of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as
a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses
until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate
capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
Both Alba
Mineral Exploration and Diamond Information Institute received going concern
opinions for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and
2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009
Diamond had a negative working capital of $226,617 and a net loss of
$359,412. For the year ended December 31, 2008 Diamond had a negative
working capital of $82,333 and a net loss of $1,106,856.
On a pro
forma basis the Company had a negative working capital of $236,933 for the
period ended September 30, 2009 and a net loss of $367,173. For the year ended
December 31, 2008 the Company had working capital of $79,778 and a net loss of
$1,143,797.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to successfully secure other sources of financing and attain profitable
operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.
If we are
unable to generate profits and unable to continue to obtain financing to meet
our working capital requirements, we may have to curtail our business sharply,
or cease operations altogether. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent
upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a
timely basis to retain our current financing, to obtain additional financing,
and, ultimately, to attain profitability. Should any of these events not occur,
we will be adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.
The
Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenue and expenses during the reported period.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Accounts
Receivable. Management periodically performs a detailed review
of amounts due from customers to determine if accounts receivable balances are
impaired based on factors affecting the collectability of those
balances. Management has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts
of approximately $86,000 at September 30, 2009 and $80,000 at December 31,
2008.
Long-Lived
Assets. In accordance with current Accounting Principles
long-lived tangible assets subject to depreciation or amortization are reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an asset is
determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying
amount of the asset over its fair value as determined by an estimate of
undiscounted future cash flows. As these factors are difficult to
predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s
assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in their impairment
analyses may not be achieved.
Revenue Recognition. The
Company’s management recognizes revenue when realized or realizable and
earned. In connection with revenue recorded, the Company establishes
a sales returns and allowances reserve for anticipated merchandise to be
returned. The estimated percentage of sales to be returned is based
on the Company’s historical experience of returned merchandise. Also, management
calculates an estimated gross profit margin on returned merchandise deriving a
cost for the anticipated returned merchandise also based on the Company’s
historical operations.
The
Company’s sole revenue producing activity as a manufacturer and distributor of
upscale jewelry is affected by movement in fashion trends and customer desire
for new designs, varying economic conditions affecting consumer spending and
changing product demand by retailers affecting their desired inventory
levels.
Therefore,
management’s estimation process for merchandise returns can result in actual
amounts differing from those estimates. This estimation process is
susceptible to variation and uncertainty due to the challenges faced by
management to comprehensively discern all conditions affecting future
merchandise returns whether prompted by fashion, the economy or customer
relationships. Ultimately, management believes historical factors
provide the best indicator of future conditions based on the Company’s
responsiveness to changes in fashion trends, the cyclical nature of the economy
in conjunction with the number of years in business and consistency and
longevity of its customer mix.
Overview
of Our Current Operations
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 have approximately 50 to 75 product styles in our
inventory, with prices ranging from $400 to $200,000. Additionally,
we have manufacturing control over our line as a result of having a
manufacturing facility in New Jersey as well as subcontracts with facilities in
Italy and Bangkok.
It is our
intention to establish the Company as a holding company for the purpose of
acquiring established jewelry design and manufacturing firms who possess branded
product lines. Branded product lines are products and/or collections
whereby the jewelry manufacturers have established their products within the
industry through advertising in consumer and trade magazines as well as possibly
obtaining federally registered trademarks of their products and
collections. 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.
We intend
to acquire design and manufacturing firms throughout the United States and
Europe. If and when we pursue any potential acquisition candidates,
we intend to target the top 10% of the world’s jewelry manufactures that have
already created an identity and brand in the jewelry industry. We
intend to locate potential candidates through our relationships in the industry
and expect to structure the acquisition through the payment of cash, which will
most likely be provided from third party financing, as well as our common stock
and not cash generated from our operations. In the event we obtain
financing from third parties for any potential acquisitions; we may agree to
issue our common stock in exchange for the capital received. However,
as of the date of this Current Report we do not have any binding agreements with
any potential acquisition candidates or arrangements with any third parties for
financing.
Our
management believes that the jewelry industry competes in the global marketplace
and therefore must be adaptable to ensure a competitive
measure. Recently the U.S. economy has encountered a slowdown and we
anticipate the U.S. economy will most likely remain weak at least through all of
2010. Consumer spending for discretionary goods such as jewelry is
sensitive to changes in consumer confidence and ultimately consumer confidence
is affected by general business considerations in the U.S.
economy. Consumer spending for discretionary spending generally
decline during times of falling consumer confidence, which may affect our retail
sale of our products. U.S. consumer confidence reflected these
slowing conditions during the last quarter of 2008 and has been carried forward
throughout the year of 2008. Therefore, we intend to make strong
efforts to maintain our brand in the industry through our focus on the
innovation and design of its products as well as being able to consolidate and
increase cost efficiency when possible through acquisitions.
Results
of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
Alba
Mineral did not earn any revenues from inception on July 24, 2007 through the
period ending September 30, 2009. Prior to its acquisition of Diamond
Information Institute, Alba was a development stage company and did
not produce significant revenues from the development of our mineral
property.
The
following income and operating expenses tables summarize selected items from the
statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared
to the three months ended September 30, 2008 and nine months ended September 30,

Sales
Sales for
the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $254,652 compared to $233,227 for
the three months ended September 30, 2008. This resulted in an
increase of $21,425 or 9%. Sales were higher despite the continuing
tough economic conditions. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
were $708,959 compared to $876,110 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
This resulted in a decrease of $167,151 or 19% from the comparable period of
2009 to 2008. The nine month decrease is primarily due to the increase in sales
discounts during the first quarter of 2009 as discussed below.
Due to
the unfavorable economic environment we increased our sales discounts to our
customers. Aggregate sales discounts in the nine months ended September 30, 2009
and 2008 amounted to approximately $80,000 and $16,000, respectively. The
increased sales discounts in 2009 were to move product and increase our
liquidity. We incurred $75,000 of the $80,000 in 2009 in sales
discounts during the first quarter of 2009. We anticipate sales discounts and
gross profits to return to historical levels as soon as the economic environment
begins to turnaround and sustain growth.
Typically,
revenues experience significant seasonal volatility in the jewelry
industry. The first two quarters of any given year typically
represent approximately 15%-25% of total year revenues, based on historic
results. The holiday buying season during the last two quarters of
every year typically account for the remainder of annual sales.
Cost of
Sales
Cost of
sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $150,231 or 59% of
sales compared to $100,503 or 43% of sales for the three months ended September
30, 2008. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
were $511,925 or 72% of sales compared to $402,632 or 46% of sales for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008.
Gross
Profit:
Gross
profit for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $104,421 or 41% of
sales compared to $132,724 or 57% of sales for the three months ended September
30, 2008. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were
$197,034 or 28% of sales compared to $473,478 or 54% of sales for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008. Our decreased gross profit margin
during the year of 2009 was principally due to the increased sales discounts
given to our customers in the first quarter of 2009.

Selling
Expenses
Total
selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $40,065
compared to $183,514 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This
resulted in a decrease of $143,449, or 78%. Total selling expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 were $170,337 compared to $327,279 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008. This resulted in a decrease of $156,942, or
48%, from the comparable period of 2009 to 2008. Selling expenses have decreased
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 2008 due to
our commitment to reduce costs as we try to grow revenues.
General and Administrative
Expenses
General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were
$82,573 compared to $296,178 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 in a
decrease of $213,605, or 72%. The decrease in general and administrative
expenses in 2009 is due primarily to a decrease in non-cash charges related to
stock-based compensation of approximately $218,000.
General
and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were
$317,120 compared to $1,092,249 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
This resulted in a decrease of $775,129, or 71%, from the comparable period of
2009 to 2008. The decrease in general and administrative expenses in 2009 is due
primarily to a decrease in non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation
of approximately $681,000.
Loss from
Operations
Losses
from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $18,217
compared to $346,968 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This
resulted in a decrease of $328,751, or 95%. Loss from operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $290,423 compared to $946,050 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This resulted in a decrease of
$655,627, or 69%, from the comparable period of 2009 to 2008.
Other
Income (Expense)
Other
Income (Expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were ($22,420)
compared to ($21,187) for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This
resulted in an increase of ($1,233), or 6%. Other Income (Expense) for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 were $(66,909) compared to $(76,067) for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008. This resulted in a decrease of $9,158, or
12%, from the comparable period of 2009 to 2008. Other Income
(Expense) is comprised primarily of interest incurred on bank lines of credit,
corporate credit cards, term loans and capital leases in connection with
operations related to manufacturing and indirect operating expenses offset by
miscellaneous income. We attribute the decrease in our other
(expense) / income during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 when compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of a reduction in
interest expense of approximately $9,000. Interest expense in 2009 primarily
decreased due to lower interest rates on lines of credit and credit
cards.
Income Tax Provision
(Benefit)
We
reported no income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2009
as compared to an income tax benefit of $77,999 for the three months ended
September 30, 2008. We reported an income tax provision of $2,080 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to an income tax benefit of
$246,445 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In 2009 and the fourth
quarter of 2008, we recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax
assets as we believe it is not more likely than not, they will be
utilized.
Net Loss
Net loss
for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $40,637 compared to $290,156
for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This resulted in a decrease of
$249,519, or 86%. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was
$359,412 compared to $775,672 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This
resulted in a decrease of $416,260, or 54%.
On a pro
forma basis, for the period ended September 30, 2009, the Company incurred
operating expenses of $495,218 and net losses of $367,173. The
Company generated gross revenues of $708,959 and had a gross profit of $197,034
for the period.

Sales
Sales for
the year ended December 31, 2008 were $1,385,620 compared to $1,296,585 for the
year ended December 31, 2007. This resulted in an increase of $89,035
or 7% from the comparable period of 2008 to 2007. We experienced a
moderate increase in sales during the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared
to the comparable period of 2007.
Typically,
revenues experience significant seasonal volatility in the jewelry
industry. The first two quarters of any given year typically
represent approximately 15%-25% of total year revenues, based on historic
results. The holiday buying season during the last two quarters of
every year typically account for the remainder of annual sales.
Cost of
Sales
Cost of
sales for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $847,976 a decrease of $378,585,
or 31%, from $1,226,561 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Our
cost of sales were significantly higher for the year ended December 31, 2007 due
to a write-down of approximately $284,000 of inventory to the lower of cost or
market value, which we experienced during the six months ended June 30,
2007. The inventory write-down was a result of the refinement of cost
and quantity of on hand data attributable to the conversion of the Company’s
books and records to new accounting software in the beginning of
2007. We did not record any inventory write-down for the year ended
December 31, 2008 and believe the cost of sales expenses are more reflective of
what we expect our cost of sales to be going forward.
Gross
Profit:
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, we experienced a gross profit as a percentage
of revenue of 39%, compared to a gross profit as a percentage of revenue of 5%
for the year ended December 31, 2007. Our increased gross profit
during the year of 2008 was a result of selling lower commodity priced products
at higher margins. Also, the inventory write-down mentioned as part
of cost of sales added approximately $284,000 to our 2007 cost of
sales. Without the inventory write-down in 2007, our pro-forma gross
profit percent in 2007 would have been approximately 27%.

Selling
Expenses
Total
selling expenses were $368,664 for the year ended December 31, 2008, which was
approximately a 6% decrease from $392,793 for the year ended December 31,
2007. Selling expenses include advertising, trade show expenses and
selling commissions. The decrease in selling expenses during the year
ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007 was a
result of decreased advertising and travel expenses under the Company’s cost
saving programs implemented in 2008.
General and Administrative
Expenses
General
and administrative expenses were $1,262,623 for the year ended December 31, 2008
versus $1,095,549 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase
in general and administrative expenses in 2008 is due primarily to an increase
in professional fees due to being a publicly-traded company. Included
within professional fees in 2008 is a noncash charge related to stock-based
compensation of $450,000. Also included in 2008 general and administrative
expenses is share-based compensation of $317,500. Total noncash stock-based
compensation was $781,500 in 2008 compared to $181,000 in 2007. The $600,500
increase in stock-based compensation was primarily offset by decreases in
payroll and payroll taxes from staff reductions.
Loss from
Operations
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, we had a loss from operations totaling
$1,093,643 which was a decrease from $1,418,318 for the same period in 2007, or
approximately 23%. The primary contributing factor of our lower loss
from operations is higher gross margins on slightly higher sales.
Other Expense /
Income
Other
Expense / Income is comprised primarily of interest incurred on bank lines of
credit, corporate credit cards, term loans and capital leases in connection with
operations related to manufacturing and indirect operating expenses offset by
miscellaneous income. We attribute the increase in our other expense
/ income during the year ended December 31, 2008 when compared to the year ended
December 31, 2007 as a result of a reduction of interest expense of $17,603
offset by recognizing sales of gold scrap in 2007. Interest expense in 2008
primarily decreased due to lower interest rates on credit lines and credit
cards. There were no sales of gold scrap occurring in
2008.
Income Tax (Benefit)
Provision
The
Company reported an income tax benefit of $89,133 for the year ended December
31, 2008 as compared to an income tax benefit of $331,642 for the year ended
December 31, 2007. In 2008, management recorded a full valuation
allowance against its deferred tax assets.
Net Loss
The
Company incurred a net loss of $1,106,856 for the year ended December 31, 2008
versus a net loss of $1,171,980 for the year ended December 31,
2007. This was a decrease of $65,124, or 6%, in our net loss for the
comparable period. Although we experienced higher general and
administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008, we were able to
decrease our net loss when compared to same period a year ago as a result of
decreasing our cost of sales and selling expenses. Our gross margins
in 2008 have significantly increased as a result of us selling lower commodity
priced products at higher margins. Additionally, in 2007 gross
margins were lower due to an inventory adjustment of approximately
$284,000. Overall our net loss is primarily attributable to a
significant increase in costs associated with the non-cash stock
compensation.

As of
September 30, 2009, Diamond Information Institute had a cash overdraft of
$24,671, compared to a cash overdraft of $7,345 at December 31,
2008. It is anticipated that we will need to sell additional equity
or debt securities or obtain credit facilities from financial institutions to
meet our long-term liquidity and capital requirements, which include strategic
growth through mergers and acquisitions. There is no assurance that
we will be able to obtain additional capital or financing in amounts or on terms
acceptable to us, if at all or on a timely basis.
Accounts
receivable at September 30, 2009 was $332,231 and $713,194 at December 31, 2008,
representing a decrease 53%. Diamond typically offers customers 60,
90 or 120 day payment terms on sales, depending upon the product mix
purchased. When setting terms with our customers, we also consider
the term of the relationship with individual customers and management’s assessed
credit risk of the respective customer, and may at management’s discretion,
increase or decrease payment terms based on those considerations.
Inventory
at September 30, 2009 was $1,468,506 and $1,326,989 at December 31, 2008. Our
management seeks to maintain a very consistent inventory level that it believes
is commensurate with current market conditions and manufacturing requirements
related to anticipated sales volume. We historically have not had an
inventory reserve for slow moving or obsolete products due to the nature of our
inventory of precious metals and stones. This allows us to resell or
recast these materials into new products and/or designs as the market
changes.
Accounts
payable and accrued expenses at September 30, 2009 were $469,271 compared to
$446,892 at December 31, 2008, which represents a 5% decrease. The slight
increase is due to normal operating cycles.
Bank Lines of Credit and
Notes Payable
Our
indebtedness is comprised of various bank credit lines, term loans, capital
leases and credit cards intended to provide capital for the ongoing
manufacturing of our jewelry line, in advance of receipt of the payment from our
retail distributors. As of September 30, 2009, we had two outstanding
term loans. One of the loans is a $300,000 term loan with JPMorgan
Chase, which is payable in monthly installments and matures in May
2011. The note bears an annual interest rate of 7.60% and as of
September 30, 2009 there was an outstanding balance of $116,993. We
also have a $100,000 term loan with Leaf Financial Corporation, which is payable
in monthly installments and matures in December 2013. The note bears
an annual interest rate of 9.47% and as of September 30, 2009 there was an
outstanding balance of $87,267. Both of these notes are
collateralized by our assets as well as a personal guarantee by our CEO, Berge
Abajian.
In
addition to the notes payable, we utilize bank lines of credit to support
working capital needs. As of September 30, 2009, we had two lines of credit. One
bank line of credit is for $700,000 with Columbia Bank and requires minimum
monthly payment of interest only. The interest is calculated at the bank’s prime
rate plus 0.75%. As of September 30, 2009, we had an outstanding
balance of $699,999 at an effective annual interest rate of
4.00%. Additionally, we have a bank line of credit of $55,000 with
JPMorgan Chase Bank, which also requires a monthly payment of interest
only. The interest rate is calculated at the bank’s prime rate plus
0.75%. As of September 30, 2009, we had an outstanding balance of
$44,707 at an effective annual interest rate of 4.00%. Each credit
line renews annually and is collateralized by our assets as well as a personal
guarantee by our CEO, Berge Abajian. The Company is in negotiations
with the bank to renew the terms of the credit line and is waiting on funding
from other sources.
In
addition to the bank lines of credit and term loans, we have a number of various
unsecured credit cards. These credit cards require minimal monthly
payments of interest only and as of September 30, 2009 have interest rates
ranging from 3.99% to 24.90%. As of September 30, 2009, we have
outstanding balances of $180,495.

As of
December 31, 2008, we had a cash overdraft of $7,345, compared to a cash
overdraft of $48,144 at December 31, 2007. In 2007, we conducted a
private placement offering of our common stock to accredited investors in
accordance with SEC regulations and raised approximately
$425,000. However, it is anticipated that we will need to sell
additional equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities from financial
institutions to meet our long-term liquidity and capital requirements, which
include strategic growth through mergers and acquisitions. There is
no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital or financing in
amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all or on a timely
basis.
Accounts
receivable at December 31, 2008 was $713,194 and $692,619 at December 31, 2007,
representing an increase of 3%. We typically offer our customers 60,
90 or 120 day payment terms on sales, depending upon the product mix
purchased. When setting terms with our customers, we also consider
the term of the relationship with individual customers and management’s assessed
credit risk of the respective customer, and may at management’s discretion,
increase or decrease payment terms based on those considerations.
Inventory
at December 31, 2008 was $1,326,989 and $1,333,752 at December 31, 2007. Our
management seeks to maintain a very consistent inventory level that it believes
is commensurate with current market conditions and manufacturing requirements
related to anticipated sales volume. We historically do not have an
inventory reserve for slow moving or obsolete products due to the nature of our
inventory of precious metals and stones, which are commodity-type raw materials
and rise in value based on quoted market prices established in actively trade
markets. This allows for us to resell or recast these materials into
new products and/or designs as the market evolves.
Accounts
payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2008 were $446,892 compared to
$389,798 at December 31, 2007, which represents a 15% increase. In
2008, we negotiated more favorable repayment terms from our
suppliers.
We do not
typically utilize our shares as a method of payment for our debt but during
2007, we entered into a debt conversion agreement and agreed to issue 100,000
shares of common stock at a fair market value of $1 per share to a vendor as
full satisfaction for accounts payable previously due and as pre-payment for
future services to be rendered. Of the total $100,000 of common stock issued,
approximately $55,000 was to satisfy previous accounts payable balances, and the
difference of approximately $45,000 was issued as consideration for future
services to be rendered.
Also
during 2007, we entered into another debt conversion agreement and agreed to
issue 150,000 shares of common stock at fair market value of $1 per share to a
vendor as full satisfaction of an accounts payable balance of approximately
$150,000. The debt conversion agreement allows for the vendor to
purchase for a period of 60 months, 150,000 “Class A” purchase warrants, which
have an exercise price of $1.50 per share. As of the year ended December 31,
2008, no “Class A” purchase warrants had been acquired by the
vendor.
Bank Lines of Credit and
Notes Payable
Our
indebtedness is comprised of various bank credit lines, term loans, capital
leases and credit cards intended to provide capital for the ongoing
manufacturing of our jewelry line, in advance of receipt of the payment from our
retail distributors. As of December 31, 2008, we had 2 outstanding
term loans. One of our loans is for $150,000 with Columbia Bank,
which is payable in monthly installments and matures in April of
2009. The note bears an annual interest rate of 7.25% and as of
December 31, 2008, there was an outstanding balance of $20,965. We
also have a $300,000 term loan with JPMorgan Chase, which is payable in monthly
installments and matures in May 2011. The note bears an annual
interest rate of 7.60% and as of December 31, 2008 there was an outstanding
balance of $158,320. Both of these notes are collateralized by our
assets as well as a personal guarantee by our CEO, Berge Abajian.
In
addition to the notes payable, we utilize bank lines of credit to support
working capital needs. As of December 31, 2008, we had two lines of
credit. One bank line of credit is for $700,000 with Columbia Bank
and requires minimum monthly payment of interest only. The interest
is calculated at the bank’s prime rate plus 0.75%. As of December 31,
2008, we had an outstanding balance of $699,999 at an effective annual interest
rate of 4.00%. Additionally, we have a bank line of credit of $55,000
with JPMorgan Chase Bank, which also requires a monthly payment of interest
only. The interest rate is calculated at the bank’s prime rate plus
0.75%. As of December 31, 2008, we had an outstanding balance of
$45,793 at an effective annual interest rate of 4.00%. Each credit
line renews annually and is collateralized by our assets as well as a personal
guarantee by our CEO, Berge Abajian.
In
addition to the bank lines of credit and term loans, we have a number of various
unsecured credit cards. These credit cards require minimal monthly
payments of interest only and as of December 31, 2008 have interest rates
ranging from 4.74% to 13.99%. As of December 31, 2008, we have
outstanding balances of $164,657.
Satisfaction
of our cash obligations for the next 12 months.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30,
2008, we have incurred net losses of approximately $7,761 and
$9,609 respectively. We have funded our working capital needs
primarily from revenues, a private placement equity offering and advances from
our CEO and principal stockholder. Our plan is to acquire design and
manufacturing companies throughout the United States and Europe. If and when we
pursue any potential business acquisitions, we intend to target the top 10% of
the world’s jewelry manufacturers that have already created an identity and
brand in the jewelry business. We plan to fund these potential business
acquisitions from additional equity and/or debt financing, and joint venture
partnerships. However, we have no binding agreements or
understandings with any potential acquisition targets. There is no assurance
that we will be able to obtain additional capital in the amount or, on terms
acceptable to us, in the required timeframe.
A
critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence is to
efficiently manage the production of our jewelry lines and successfully develop
new lines through our Company or through possible acquisitions and/or mergers.
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 planned future growth of our
operations.
Over the
next twelve months we believe we have the required working capital needs to fund
our current operations through revenues. However, any expansion or
future business acquisitions will require us to raise capital through an equity
offering.
Summary
of product and research and development that we will perform for the term of our
plan.
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.
Significant
changes in the number of employees.
As
previously mentioned, we currently have 3 full-time employees and 2 part-time
employees. We do not anticipate a significant change in the number of
full time employees over the next 12 months. None of our employees
are subject to any collective bargaining agreements.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results or
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is deemed
material.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements.
The
Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting
pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of
operations, financial position or cash flow.
The
Company receives periodic advances from its principal stockholder based upon the
Company's cash flow needs. As of September 30, 2009, $451,959.16
was due to the shareholder. Interest expense is accrued at an average
annual market rate of interest which was $19,118.90 at September 30,
2009. No terms for repayment have been established. As a
result, the amount is classified as a Current Liability.
In 2007,
the Company hired an information technology company to provide consultation and
technical support related to certain software applications and technology
infrastructure. The information technology company is also a
shareholder of the Company with a total ownership interest of less than
1%. During 2007, common stock issued to this information technology
company in connection with services rendered or, to be performed in future
periods totaled $100,000 or 100,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of
$1 per share. Of the total, $45,000 related to future services and was recorded
as deferred compensation.

EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION
Overview
The
following is a discussion of our program for compensating our named executive
officers and directors. Currently, we do not have a compensation committee, and
as such, our board of directors is responsible for determining the compensation
of our named executive officers.
Compensation Program
Objectives and Philosophy
The
primary goals of our policy of executive compensation are to attract and retain
the most talented and dedicated executives possible, to assure that our
executives are compensated effectively in a manner consistent with our strategy
and competitive practice and to align executives compensation with the
achievement of our short- and long-term business objectives.
The board
of directors considers a variety of factors in determining compensation of
executives, including their particular background and circumstances, such as
their training and prior relevant work experience, their success in attracting
and retaining savvy and technically proficient managers and employees,
increasing our revenues, broadening our product line offerings, managing our
costs and otherwise helping to lead our Company through a period of rapid
growth.
In the
near future, we expect that our board of directors will form a compensation
committee charged with the oversight of executive compensation plans, policies
and programs of our Company and with the full authority to determine and approve
the compensation of our chief executive officer and make recommendations with
respect to the compensation of our other executive officers. We expect that our
compensation committee will continue to follow the general approach to executive
compensation that we have followed to date, rewarding superior individual and
company performance with commensurate cash compensation.
Elements of
Compensation
Our
compensation program for the named executive officers consists primarily of base
salary and equity awards. There is no retirement plan, long-term incentive plan
or other such plans. The Company is a development stage company with limited
revenue. As such we have not yet obtained a consistent revenue stream with which
to fund employee salaries and bonus plans. The base salary we provide is
intended to equitably compensate the named executive officers based upon their
level of responsibility, complexity and importance of role, leadership and
growth potential, and experience.
Base
Salary
Our named
executive officer receives a base salary commensurate with his roles and
responsibilities. Base salaries and subsequent adjustments, if any, are reviewed
and approved by our board of directors annually, based on an informal review of
relevant market data and each executive’s performance for the prior year, as
well as each executive’s experience, expertise and position. The base salaries
paid to our named executive officer in 2008 are reflected in the Summary
Compensation Table below.
Stock-Based
Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan
The
Company has adopted an unfunded Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan to
compensate our Chief Executive Officer. Under this Plan, the Company
is not required to reserve funds for compensation, and is only obligated to pay
compensation when and if funds are available. Any amounts due but
unpaid automatically accrue to deferred compensation. The Plan has the option to
be renewed annually at the discretion of the Company. While unfunded and
non-recourse, for compliance with GAAP this is disclosed as an accrued expense
on the balance sheet.
Employment
Agreements
We
currently do not have any employment agreements with our executive officers or
any other employees.
Retirement
Benefits
Currently,
we do not provide any company sponsored retirement benefits to any employee,
including the named executive officers.
Perquisites
We have
historically, provided only modest perquisites to our named executive officers.
We do not view perquisites as a significant element of our compensation
structure, but do believe that perquisites can be useful in attracting,
motivating and retaining the executive talent for which we compete. It is
expected that our historical practices regarding perquisites will continue and
will be subject to periodic review by our by our board of
directors.
The
following table sets forth the compensation paid to our chief executive officer
for each of our last two completed fiscal years. No other officer received
compensation greater than $100,000 for either fiscal year.

Notes to
Financial Statements
NOTE
1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without
audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows at September 30, 2009, and for
all periods presented herein, have been made.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is
suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December
31, 2008 audited financial statements. The results of operations for
the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of
the operating results for the full years.
NOTE
2 - GOING CONCERN
The
Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source
of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as
a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses
until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate
capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order
to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things,
additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for
the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders
sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt
financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company
will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding
paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable
operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.
NOTE
3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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.

NOTE
3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In May
2009, the FASB issued FAS 165, “Subsequent Events”. This
pronouncement establishes standards for accounting for and disclosing subsequent
events (events which occur after the balance sheet date but before financial
statements are issued or are available to be issued). FAS 165 requires and
entity to disclose the date subsequent events were evaluated and whether that
evaluation took place on the date financial statements were issued or were
available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending
after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FAS 165 did not have a material impact on
the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.
In June
2009, the FASB issued FAS 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” an
amendment of FAS 140. FAS 140 is intended to improve the relevance,
representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a
reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of
financial assets: the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial
performance , and cash flows: and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any,
in transferred financial assets. This statement must be applied as of the
beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins
after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 166 to
have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or
cash flows.
In June
2009, the FASB issued FAS 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”.
FAS 167 is intended to (1) address the effects on certain provisions of FASB
Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying
special-purpose entity concept in FAS 166, and (2) constituent concerns about
the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including
those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not
always provided timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement
in a variable interest entity. This statement must be applied as of the
beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins
after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 167 to
have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or
cash flows.
In June
2009, the FASB issued FAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and
the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. FAS 168 will become
the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and
interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under
authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for
SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will
supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All
other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the
Codification will become nonauthoritative. This statement is effective for
financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009.The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 168 to have
an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash
flows.

NOTE
4 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
October 19, 2009, in accordance with the Exchange Agreement dated October
19, 2009 the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of
Diamond Information Institute, Inc. (DII), which resulted in a parent-subsidiary
relationship. In exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of DII,
the shareholders of DII received 2,585,175 shares of the
Company’s common stock which represented approximately 60% of the
outstanding common stock following the Acquisition. Concurrently, the Company’s
name was changed to Bergio International, Inc.
There
were 5,033,450 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding before giving
effect to the stock issuances in the Acquisition and the cancellation of
3,310,000 shares by Mr. Owen Gibson and certain other shareholders. Following
these events, there were 4,308,625 shares outstanding, including:
Shares
Held
by:
2,585,175 DII
Shareholders
1,723,450 Existing
shareholders
The Company has analyzed
its operations subsequent to September 30, 2009 through November 16, 2009 and
has determined that it does not have any other material subsequent events to
disclose in these financial statements.
NOTE
5 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In September 2009, the
Company determined to discontinued its mineral exploration activities. The
Company subsequently agreed to return those mineral properties to Mr. Owen
Gibson in exchange for 3,310,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Accordingly, The Company’s financial statements have been restated to show its
mineral exploration activities as discontinued operations. The Company has no
assets or liabilities related to the discontinued operations as of September 30,
2009. The Company’s Statements of Operations prior to restatement for
discontinued operations are as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT

To
the Board of Directors
Alba
Mineral Exploration, Inc.
(An
Exploration Stage Company)
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc. (An
Exploration Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the
years then ended and since inception on July 24, 2007 through December 31, 2007
and 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc. (An
Exploration Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the
years then ended and since inception on July 24, 2007 through December 31, 2007
and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company has insufficient capital resources and
inconsistent revenues, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these
matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

Organization
and Business Activities
|
Alba
Mineral Exploration, Inc. (the Company) was organized on July 24, 2007, under
the laws of the State of Delaware, having the purpose of engaging in the mineral
exploration and development. The Company became qualified in the Province of
Alberta Canada on August 26, 2007.
The cost
of the property and equipment will be depreciated over the estimated useful life
of 5 to 7 years. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method when
assets are placed in service. The Company has no fixed assets or
depreciation expense.
The
Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of
accounting. The Company has elected a December 31
year-end.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents
|
For the
purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be a cash
equivalent.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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.
The
Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have
been provided and collection is reasonably assured. The Company has
never recognized any revenue.

The
Company’s bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are
insured up to $250,000. At December 31, 2008, the Company’s bank
deposits did not exceed the insured amounts.

Deferred
taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are
recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable
temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax
assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management,
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the
effects of changes in tax laws and rates.

At
December 31, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of
approximately $13,915 that may be offset against future taxable income through
2028. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2008,
financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation
allowance of the same amount.
Due to
the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating
carryforwards for Federal Income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual
limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss
carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.

NOTE 2 –
GOING CONCERN
The
Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting
principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of
assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The
Company has had no income and generated losses from operations.
In order
to continue as a going concern and achieve a profitable level of operations, the
Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources and
developing a consistent source of revenues. Management’s plans include using the
proceeds from the private placement of shares of its common stock to development
an inventory and a website for its products.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph
and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company
is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 –
STOCK OFFERING
The
Company completed three stock offerings during the fiscal year ended December
31, 2007. On September 4, 2007, the Company issued 2,400,000 shares
of its common stock for cash at $0.001 per share. On November 9,
2007, the Company issued 2,560,000 shares of its common stock for cash at $0.01
per share. On November 27, 2007, the Company issued 73,450 shares of
its common stock for cash at $0.10 per share.
NOTE 4 –
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments
Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,
(“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in
share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting,
and therefore need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under
the two-class method as described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. We are not required
to adopt FSP EITF 03-6-1; neither do we believe that FSP EITF 03-6-1 would have
material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of
operations if adopted.

NOTE 4 –
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In May
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163,
“Accounting for Financial
Guarantee Insurance Contracts-and interpretation of FASB Statement No.
60”. SFAS
No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance
contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium
revenue and claims liabilities. This statement also requires expanded
disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS No. 163 is
effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim
periods within those years. SFAS No. 163 has no effect on the Company’s
financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this
time.
In May
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162,
“The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS No. 162 sets forth
the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by
category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the
more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60
days after the SEC approves the PCAOB’s amendments to AU Section 411 of the
AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on the Company’s
financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this
time.
In March
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133. This standard requires companies to provide enhanced
disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position,
financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November
15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect it to have a material impact on
its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110 regarding
the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB 107), in
developing an estimate of expected term of "plain vanilla" share options in
accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based
Payment. In particular, the staff indicated in SAB 107 that it
will accept a company's election to use the simplified method, regardless of
whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates of
expected term. At the time SAB 107 was issued, the staff believed that more
detailed external information about employee

NOTE 4 –
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
exercise
behavior (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry and/or other categories
of companies) would, over time, become readily available to companies.
Therefore, the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect a company to use
the simplified method for share option grants after December 31, 2007. The staff
understands that such detailed information about employee exercise behavior may
not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will
continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified
method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company currently uses the simplified
method for “plain vanilla” share options and warrants, and will assess the
impact of SAB 110 for fiscal year 2009. It is not believed that this will have
an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No.
51. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and
reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in
a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be
reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this
statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling
interests. As a result, considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called
minority interests were reported in the consolidated statement of financial
position as liabilities or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and
equity. This statement improves comparability by eliminating that diversity.
This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009,
for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The
effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related Statement
141 (revised 2007). The Company will adopt this Statement beginning March 1,
2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB, issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations.’This
Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, but
retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141. This
Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a)
recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business
combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what
information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate
the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement
applies prospectively to

business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the
first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity
may not apply it before that date. The effective date of this statement is the
same as that of the related FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company will adopt this
statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an
impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
February 2007, the FASB, issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No.
115. This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This option is
available to all entities. Most of the provisions in FAS 159 are elective;
however, an amendment to FAS 115 Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities applies to all entities with available for
sale or trading securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that
do not report net income. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an
entities first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption
is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the
entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also
elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157 Fair Value
Measurements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 beginning March
1, 2008. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements This statement defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement
applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting
pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute.
Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements.
However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change
current practice. This statement is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the
reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year,
including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year.
The Company adopted this statement March 1, 2008. The adoption of this
pronouncement did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Business Continuity
Nature of
Operations - Diamond Information Institute Inc. d/b/a Designs by Bergio
[the "Company"] is engaged in the product design, manufacturing, distribution of
fine jewelry throughout the United States and is headquartered from its
corporate office in Fairfield, New Jersey. Based on the nature of
operations, the Company's sales cycle experiences significant seasonal
volatility with the first two quarters of the year representing 15% - 25% of
annual sales and the remaining two quarters representing the remaining portion
of annual sales.
Basis of
Presentation - Our accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 of our
audited financial statements included in the Diamond Information Institute, Inc.
2008 Form 10-K.
The
accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for interim financial
statement presentation and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, the
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
September 30, 2009 and the results of operations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008. The results of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.
The
Company has evaluated all subsequent events through November 13, 2009, the date
of filing of these unaudited financial statements.
Business
Continuity - As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the
Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and continues to sustain
cash flow deficits. As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s current
liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately $227,000 while, its
total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $186,000. Further, through the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company incurred a net loss from
operations of approximately $359,000 and a cash flow deficit from current
operations of approximately $54,000. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The
Company’s management has instituted a cost reduction program that included a
reduction in labor and payroll taxes, promotional expenses and professional
services. In addition, management believes these factors, along with the
issuance of additional equity offerings as a form of financing, will contribute
toward achieving profitability and sustaining working capital needs. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving these
objectives. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Effective
July 1, 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification became FASB’s
officially recognized source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities,
superseding existing FASB, AICPA, EITF and related literature. Rules and
interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws
are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting
literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the
away companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting
policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique
numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph
structure.
FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per
Share.” On January 1, 2009, the Corporation adopted new
authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per
Share,” which provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain
nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or
unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of
earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. See Note 1 - Significant
Accounting Policies.
FASB ASC Topic 320, “Investments -
Debt and Equity Securities.” New authoritative accounting guidance under
ASC Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities,” (i) changes
existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary
to debt securities and (ii) replaces the existing requirement that the
entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an
impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert:
(a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is
more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of
its cost basis. Under ASC Topic 320, declines in the fair value of
held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are
deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses
to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the
impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.
The Corporation adopted the provisions of the new authoritative accounting
guidance under ASC Topic 320 during the first quarter of 2009. Adoption of the
new guidance did not significantly impact the Corporation’s financial
statements.
FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business
Combinations.” On January 1, 2009, new authoritative accounting
guidance under ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” became applicable to the
Corporation’s accounting for business combinations closing on or after
January 1, 2009. ASC Topic 805 applies to all transactions and other events
in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. ASC Topic
805 requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to
recognize the assets, liabilities and any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is
required to be recognized and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition
rather than at a later date when the amount of that consideration may be
determinable beyond a reasonable doubt. This fair value approach replaces the
cost-allocation process required under previous accounting guidance whereby the
cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. ASC Topic 805 requires
acquirers to expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than
allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as was
previously the case under prior accounting guidance. Assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies are
to be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated. If
fair value of such an asset or liability cannot be reasonably estimated, the
asset or liability would generally be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic
450, “Contingencies.” Under ASC Topic 805, the requirements of ASC Topic 420,
“Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations,” would have to be met in order to accrue for
a restructuring plan in purchase accounting. Pre-acquisition contingencies are
to be recognized at fair value, unless it is a non-contractual contingency that
is not likely to materialize, in which case, nothing should be recognized in
purchase accounting and, instead, that contingency would be subject to the
probable and estimable recognition criteria of ASC Topic 450,
“Contingencies.”
FASB ASC Topic 810,
“Consolidation.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic
810, “Consolidation,” amended prior guidance to establish accounting and
reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Under ASC Topic 810, a non-controlling interest
in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an
ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a
component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other
requirements, ASC Topic 810 requires consolidated net income to be
reported at
[2]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Continued)
amounts
that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling
interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income
statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent
and to the non-controlling interest. The new authoritative accounting guidance
under ASC Topic 810 became effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2009
and did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial
statements.
Further
new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 amends prior guidance
to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently
capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be
consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate
an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a
company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly
impact the entity’s economic performance. The new authoritative accounting
guidance requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s
involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk
exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial
statements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 will
be effective January 1, 2010 and is not expected to have a significant
impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.
FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and
Hedging.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 815,
“Derivatives and Hedging,” amends prior guidance to amend and expand the
disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities to provide
greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are
accounted for under ASC Topic 815, and (iii) how derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of
operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, the new authoritative
accounting guidance requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and
strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value
amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about
credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The new
authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 815 became effective for the
Corporation on January 1, 2009 and the required disclosures are reported in
Note 10 - Derivative Financial Instruments.
FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures.” New authoritative accounting guidance
under ASC Topic 820,”Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” affirms that the
objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price
that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction, and
clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been
a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that
asset is not active. ASC Topic 820 requires an entity to base its conclusion
about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. The
new accounting guidance amended prior guidance to expand certain disclosure
requirements. The Corporation adopted the new authoritative accounting guidance
under ASC Topic 820 during the first quarter of 2009. Adoption of the new
guidance did not significantly impact the Corporation’s financial
statements.
Further
new authoritative accounting guidance (Accounting Standards Update
No. 2009-5) under ASC Topic 820 provides guidance for measuring the fair
value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active
market for the identical liability is not available. In such instances, a
reporting entity is required to measure fair value utilizing a valuation
technique that uses (i) the quoted price of the identical liability when
traded as an asset, (ii) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar
liabilities when traded as assets, or (iii) another valuation technique
that is consistent with the existing principles of ASC Topic 820, such as an
income approach or market approach. The new authoritative accounting guidance
also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting
entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs
relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the
liability. The forgoing new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic
820 will be effective for the Corporation’s financial statements beginning
October 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the
Corporation’s financial statements.
[2]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Continued)
FASB ASC Topic 825 “Financial
Instruments.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic
825,”Financial Instruments,” requires an entity to provide disclosures about the
fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information and amends
prior guidance to require those disclosures in summarized financial information
at interim reporting periods. The new interim disclosures required under Topic
825 are included in Note 16 - Fair Value Measurements.
FASB ASC Topic 855,
“Subsequent Events.” New authoritative
accounting guidance under ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” establishes
general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after
the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available
to be issued. ASC Topic 855 defines (i) the period after the balance sheet
date during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events or
transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the
financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should
recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its
financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures an entity should make about
events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The new
authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 855 became effective for the
Corporation’s financial statements for periods ending after June 15, 2009
and did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial
statements.
FASB ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and
Servicing.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860,
“Transfers and Servicing,” amends prior accounting guidance to enhance reporting
about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where
companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial
assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance eliminates the concept of a
“qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for
derecognizing financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance also
requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with
transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses
resulting from transfers during the period. The new authoritative accounting
guidance under ASC Topic 860 will be effective January 1, 2010 and is not
expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial
statements.

Income Taxes [Continued]
Effective
with the 2008 tax year, management voluntarily elected a change in its method of
tax accounting to the accrual basis as required by Section 481 of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "IRC"). In management's opinion, based on
provisions of the IRC, a voluntary election to the accrual basis of tax
reporting should not subject the Company to tax examinations for previous years
that income tax returns have been filed and prompt an uncertain tax position in
accordance with the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As a
result, no contingent liability has been recorded for the anticipated change in
tax reporting. Further, the resulting tax liability from the change in tax
accounting method will be reduced by operating losses previously
incurred.
At
December 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $1,482,000 of federal net
operating tax loss carryforwards expiring at various dates through
2028. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 enacted a complex set of rules which
limits a company's ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and tax
credit carryforwards in periods following an ownership change. These rules
define an ownership change as a greater than 50 percent point change in stock
ownership within a defined testing period which is generally a three-year
period. As a result of stock which may be issued by us from time to time and the
conversion of warrants, options or the result of other changes in ownership of
our outstanding stock, the Company may experience an ownership change and
consequently our utilization of net operating loss carryforwards could be
significantly limited.
Based
upon the net losses historically incurred and, the prospective global economic
conditions, management believes that it is not more likely than not that the
deferred tax asset will be realized and has provided a valuation allowance of
100% of the deferred tax asset.
[7]
Stockholders' (Deficit) Equity
Articles of
Incorporation Amendment and Stock Split - The Company's Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares
of common stock at a par value of $.001 per share. Over the course of
2007, the Company's Board of Directors ratified two forward stock splits. The
first stock split, for 1.725 to 1 and the second for 10,000 to 1.
This
resulted in common stock outstanding increasing from 1,000 to 17,250,000 which
were all owned by the Company's founder and CEO. The per share data for all
periods presented has been retroactively adjusted due to each of the stock
splits.
Subsequent
to the forward stock splits, the Company's founder and CEO transferred a total
of 2,250,000 shares to the Company's President and an Advisory Panel
member. Upon resignation of the Company’s President and Advisory
Panel Member in late 2007, the Company cancelled 2,200,000 of the shares
previously issued to those individuals along with, 5,000,000 shares held by the
CEO and principal stockholder. These shares were cancelled in
February 2008.
The share
and per share data for all periods presented has been retroactively adjusted to
reflect the stock splits.
Debt
Conversions - In
April 2007, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (the
"Agreement") and issued 100,000 shares of common stock at $1 per share to a
vendor as full
[7]
Stockholders' (Deficit) Equity [Continued]
satisfaction
for accounts payable previously due and future services to be
rendered. Of the total $100,000 of common stock issued, $55,000 was
to satisfy previous account payable balances and $45,000 was issued as
consideration for future services to be rendered and was reflected in
the Deferred Compensation caption of the Stockholders' Equity section of the
Balance Sheet, of which approximately $14,000 was expensed in 2008. The shares
have a one year restriction from sale or offering.
Restricted Share
Issuances - In
January 2008, two Advisory Panel members and a Board of Director member received
restricted common stock for services to be rendered throughout
2008. The two Advisory Panel members received 50,000 and 100,000
shares, respectively, with a fair value of $1.00 per share or $150,000 while the
Board of Director member received 50,000 shares with a fair value of $1.00 per
share or $50,000. The share-based compensation expense for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2008 amounted to $25,000 and $175,000,
respectively.

expense is accrued at an average annual market rate of interest which was 3.35%

Subsequent Events
On
September 25, 2009, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Mario
Panelli & C. s.a.s (“Seller”) and Mario Panelli and Mogni Viviana (“Owner”),
wherein the Company agreed to purchase from the Seller substantially all the
assets of Seller (Acquired Assets) used in the conduct of its business on the
Closing Date, September 30, 2009. The business currently being
conducted by the Seller is the distribution of high-end jewelry under the
registered trademark of Mario Panelli & C s.a.s. The Company will
pay the Seller an amount equal to 100% of the Book Value of Seller’s inventory
determined in accordance with GAAP, valuing each item at the lower of the cost
paid for such item by Seller or the fair market wholesale value on such item as
of the Closing Date. As of the date of the agreement, the parties
estimate 100% of the Book Value of the inventory to be approximately $945,000.00
Euros or $1,382,440.50 US Dollars. The Company agreed to pay the
Seller upon funding of the Company. The Company anticipated the
closing to occur by December 2009.
Effective
October 19, 2009, as approved at our shareholder meeting on October 8, 2009, we
entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc.
(“Alba”), a Delaware Corporation (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the
Agreement, Alba agreed to issue our shareholders a total of 2,585,175 shares of
common stock in Alba in proportion to their holdings in our
company. Following the transaction described in the Agreement and
other accompanying transactions, our shareholders will ultimately own 60% of the
common stock issued and outstanding in Alba. As a result of the
transaction the company becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alba.

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Diamond
Information Institute, Inc.
Fairfield,
New Jersey
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Diamond Information Institute, Inc.

responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Diamond Information Institute, Inc.
as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We were
not engaged to examine management's assessment of the effectiveness of Diamond

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Nature of
Operations - Diamond Information Institute Inc. d/b/a Designs by Bergio
[the "Company"] is engaged in the product design, manufacturing, distribution of
fine jewelry throughout the United States and is headquartered from its
corporate office in Fairfield, New Jersey. Based on the nature of
operations, the Company's sales cycle experiences significant seasonal
volatility with the first two quarters of the year representing 15% - 25% of
annual sales and the remaining two quarters representing the remaining portion
of annual sales.
Basis of
Presentation and Liquidity- The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of
operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the
ordinary course of business. For the year ending December 31, 2008, the Company
generated a net loss of approximately $1.1 million. As of December 31, 2008, the
Company has funded its working capital requirements primarily through revenue
earned, a private placement equity offering and periodic advances from its CEO
and principal stockholder. Management intends to fund future
operations through further expansion in its marketplace as well as additional
equity offerings.
There can
be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining financing at
the level needed for long-term operations or on terms acceptable to the Company.
In addition, there can be no assurance, assuming the Company is successful in
expanding commercialization of its product, realizing revenues and obtaining new
equity offerings, that the Company will achieve profitability or positive
operating cash flow. The Company is incurring significant losses, which give
rise to questions about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
[2]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of
Estimates - The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted 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.
Revenue
Recognition -
Revenue is recognized upon the shipment of products to customers with the
price to the buyer being fixed and determinable and collectability reasonably
assured. The Company maintains a reserve for potential product
returns based on historical experience.
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 December 31, 2008 and
2007.
[2]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]
Accounts
Receivable –
Accounts receivable is generated from sales of fine jewelry to retail outlets
throughout the United States. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, accounts receivable
were substantially comprised of balances due from retailers.
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. As of December 31, 2008, an allowance for
doubtful accounts of $80,407 has been provided. No allowance was deemed
necessary at December 31, 2007.
Inventories - Inventory consists
primarily of finished goods and is valued 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.
In June
2007, the Company recorded an inventory adjustment of approximately $284,000 to
more appropriately value amounts on hand at the lower of cost or
market. The inventory adjustment was prompted by the refinement of
cost and quantity on hand data attributable to the conversion of the Company's
books and records to new accounting software in early
2007. Subsequent to implementation of the new accounting system, cost
and quantity on hand data was refined as the Company discovered product data was
not properly defined for importing into the new accounting
module. These data conversion complications were attributable to
product information not established on a more disaggregated basis for proper
recognition by the accounting module. In other words, products
offered with varying metal and stone qualities were not enumerated as needed,
resulting in erroneous price averaging or improper quantities on hand, as
product counts were not performed prior to data conversion.
As
management's sophistication for use of the accounting software increased, these
discrepancies were discovered and corrected through greater specification of the
product type in the accounting module and revision of unit costs by comparing to
original purchasing documents or physical count of on hand
quantities. These corrective efforts prompted the aforementioned
inventory adjustment which is reflected in the Cost of Sales caption of the
Statements of Operations.
Concentrations of
Credit Risk –
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivables. The
Company places its cash with high credit quality financial
institutions. The Company, from time to time, maintains balances in
financial institutions beyond the insured amounts. At December 31,
2008 and 2007, the Company had no cash balances beyond the federally insured
amounts.
Concentrations
of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the wide
variety of customers and markets into which the Company's services are provided,
as well as their dispersion across many different geographical
areas. As is characteristic of the Company's
[2]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]
business
and of the jewelry industry generally, the Company extends its customers
seasonal credit terms. The carrying amount of receivables approximates fair
value. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers
and believes its credit risk exposure on accounts receivable is limited. Based
on management’s review of accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful
accounts has been recorded for the year ending December 31, 2008. No
allowance for doubtful accounts has been deemed necessary for year ending
December 31, 2007. The Company does not require collateral to support
these financial instruments.
Property and
Equipment and Depreciation - Property and equipment are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from
five (5) to seven (7) years.
Expenditures
for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred whereas
expenditures for renewals and improvements that extend the useful life of the
assets are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement, the cost and the
related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and
any resulting gain or loss is reported within the Statements of Operations in
the period of disposal.
Long-Lived
Assets - In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ["SFAS"] No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived
tangible assets subject to depreciation or amortization are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the assets exceed their fair value as determined by an
estimate of undiscounted future cash flows.
Losses on
assets held for disposal are recognized when management has approved and
committed to a plan to dispose of the assets, and the assets are available for
disposal.
Fair Value of
Financial Instruments -
Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosing the fair
value of financial instruments to the extent practicable for financial
instruments, which are recognized or unrecognized in the balance
sheet. The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein
is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or
settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of
realization or settlement. In assessing the fair value of these
financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions,
which are based on estimates of market conditions and risks existing at that
time. For certain instruments, including the cash overdraft, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, it was estimated that the
carrying amount approximated fair value for the majority of these instruments
because of their short maturity. The fair value of property and
equipment is estimated to approximate their net book value. The fair
value of debt obligations as recorded approximates their fair values due to the
variable rate of interest associated with these underlying
obligations.
Investments in
Unconsolidated Affiliates - Investments in
unconsolidated affiliates, in which the Company owns less than 20% or otherwise
does not exercise significant influence, are stated at cost. At
December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had an investment in which the
Company
[2]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]
owned
less than 1% interest in an unconsolidated affiliate and therefore the
investment is carried at cost.
Share-Based
Compensation -
The Company does not currently sponsor stock option plans or restricted
stock awards plans. However, on January 1, 2006, the Company adopted
the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment" using the modified
prospective method. SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to recognize the cost of
employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based
upon the grant date fair value of those awards.
Under the
modified prospective method of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the Company
recognized compensation cost for all share-based payments granted after January
1, 2006, plus any awards granted to employees prior to January 1, 2006 that
remain unvested at that time. Under this method of adoption, no restatement of
prior periods is made.
The
Company applies the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), to issuances of
non-employee equity instruments at either the fair value of the services
rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is
more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in
EITF 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than
Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or
Services".
Advertising and
Promotional Costs
- Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and are
recorded as part of Selling Expenses in the Statement of
Operations. The total cost for the years ended December 31, 2008 and
2007 was approximately $46,000 and $151,000, respectively.
During
the year, the Company prepays costs associated with trade shows which, are
recorded as Prepaid Expenses in the Balance Sheet and are charged to the
Statement of Operations upon the trade shows being conducted. At
December 31, 2008 and 2007, approximately $39,000 and $49,000, respectively of
prepaid trade show expenses have been recorded.
Income
Taxes - The
Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
basis. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred income tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period
that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to
be realized.
On
January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48, "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109",
which provides a financial
[2]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]
statement
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48, we may recognize
the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than
not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing
authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax
benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be
measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of
being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides
guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification
of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for
interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax
disclosures. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on
our financial statements.
Basic and Diluted
Loss Per Share -
Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing
earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive earnings per share
reflect the potential dilution of securities that could occur through the effect
of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants and
convertible securities. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, 575,000 and
425,000 potential common shares issuable under Class A purchase warrants have
not been included in the computation of diluted loss per share since the effect
would be anti-dilutive. These Class A purchase warrants may have a
dilutive effect in future periods. .
[3]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business
Combinations" (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, "Business
Combinations." SFAS 141(R) retains the underlying concepts of SFAS 141 in that
all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value
under the acquisition method of accounting but SFAS 141(R) changed the method of
applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. Acquisition
costs will generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be
valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and
development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible
asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business
combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and
changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties
after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS 141(R)
is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period
subsequent to December 15, 2008, with the exception of the accounting for
valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS
141(R) amends SFAS 109 such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on
deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that
closed prior to the effective date of SFAS 141(R) would also apply the
provisions of SFAS 141(R). Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently
evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS 141(R) may have on our financial
statements and believe it could have a significant impact if business
combinations are consummated. However, the effect of which is
indeterminable as of December 31, 2008.
[3]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards [Continued]
In
December 2007, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 160,
"Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of
ARB No. 51." This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim
periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008,
with earlier adoption prohibited. This statement requires the recognition of a
noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated
financial statements and separate from the parent's equity. The amount of net
income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in
consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. It also amends
certain of ARB No. 51's consolidation procedures for consistency with the
requirements of SFAS 141(R).
This statement also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding
the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. We are currently
evaluating this new statement and anticipate that the statement will not have a
significant impact on the reporting of our results of operations.
In March
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." The new standard is intended to
improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities
by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with
early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of adopting SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements.

Effective
with the 2008 tax year, management voluntarily elected a change in its method of
tax accounting to the accrual basis as required by Section 481 of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "IRC"). In management's opinion, based on
provisions of the IRC, a voluntary election to the accrual basis of tax
reporting should not subject the Company to tax examinations for previous years
that income tax returns have been filed and prompt an uncertain tax position in
accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation ("FIN")
No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. As a result, no
contingent liability has been recorded for the anticipated change in tax
reporting. Further, the resulting tax liability from the change in
tax accounting method will be reduced by operating losses previously
incurred.
[8]
Income Taxes [Continued]
At
December 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $1,482,000 of federal net
operating tax loss carryforwards expiring at various dates through
2028. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 enacted a complex set of rules which
limits a company's ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and tax
credit carryforwards in periods following an ownership change. These rules
define an ownership change as a greater than 50 percent point change in stock
ownership within a defined testing period which is generally a three-year
period. As a result of stock which may be issued by us from time to time and the
conversion of warrants, options or the result of other changes in ownership of
our outstanding stock, the Company may experience an ownership change and
consequently our utilization of net operating loss carryforwards could be
significantly limited.
Based
upon the net losses historically incurred and, the prospective global economic
conditions, management believes that it is not more likely than not that the
deferred tax asset will be realized and has provided a valuation allowance of
100% of the deferred tax asset.
[9]
Stockholders' Equity
Articles of
Incorporation Amendment and Stock Split - The Company's Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares
of common stock at a par value of $.001 per share. Over the course of
2007, the Company's Board of Directors ratified two forward stock splits. The
first stock split, for 1.725 to 1 and the second for 10,000 to 1.
This
resulted in common stock outstanding increasing from 1,000 to 17,250,000 which
were all owned by the Company's founder and CEO. The per share data for all
periods presented has been retroactively adjusted due to each of the stock
splits.
Subsequent
to the forward stock splits, the Company's founder and CEO transferred a total
of 2,250,000 shares to the Company's President and an Advisory Panel
member. Upon resignation of the Company’s President and Advisory
Panel Member in late 2007, the Company cancelled 2,200,000 of the shares
previously issued to those individuals along with, 5,000,000 shares held by the
CEO and principal stockholder. These shares were cancelled in
February 2008.
The share
and per share data for all periods presented has been retroactively adjusted to
reflect the stock splits.
Private Placement
Offering -
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company conducted a
private placement offering (the "Offering") of its common stock to Accredited
Investors in accordance with SEC regulations. The offering was up to
40 units at $25,000 per unit or $1,000,000 in total. Each unit was
composed of 25,000 shares of common stock and 25,000 "Class A" common stock
purchase warrants to purchase additional shares at $1.50 per share.
Through
the aforementioned period, the Company issued 17 units or 425,000 shares
resulting in total cash proceeds of $425,000. Through December 31,
2008, no "Class A" purchase warrants were exercised by the
investors.
[9]
Stockholders' Equity (Continued)
Debt
Conversions - In
April 2007, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (the
"Agreement") and issued 100,000 shares of common stock at $1 per share to a
vendor as full satisfaction for accounts payable previously due and future
services to be rendered. Of the total $100,000 of common stock
issued, $55,000 was to satisfy previous account payable balances and $45,000 was
issued as consideration for future services to be rendered and is reflected in
the Deferred Compensation caption of the stockholders' equity section of the
Balance Sheet, of which approximately $14,000 and $31,000, respectively was
expensed in 2008 and 2007. The shares have a one year restriction from sale or
offering.
In June
2007, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (the "Agreement") and
issued 150,000 shares of common stock at a fair market value of $1 per share to
a vendor as full satisfaction of an accounts payable balance of
$150,000. The shares have a one year restriction from sale or
offering and the Agreement allows for the vendor to purchase for a period of 60
months from the date of closing of this Agreement 150,000 shares of common stock
under "Class A" purchase warrants at $1.50 per share. Through
December 31, 2008, no "Class A" purchase warrants were exercised by the
vendor.
Of the
total 250,000 shares issued in connection with debt conversions and future
services to be rendered, 205,000 shares of common stock valued at $1 per share
or $205,000 were in full satisfaction of prior debts outstanding while, 45,000
shares of common stock valued at $1 or $45,000 were issued in connection with
future services to be rendered. As of December 31, 2007,
approximately $14,000 of Deferred Compensation remained unamortized in
connection with the 45,000 shares previously issued. At December 31,
2008, the balance was fully amortized.
Restricted Share
Issuances -
During 2007, the Board of Directors ratified issuance of 50,000
restricted shares of common stock to the Company's CEO, also serving as a
director, as compensation for services rendered through December 31,
2007. The Board of Directors also ratified issuance of a total of
100,000 restricted shares of common stock to two of the Company's Advisory Panel
Members as compensation for services rendered from January through December of
2007.
For the
year ended December 31, 2007, the Company valued their shares based on recent
stock transaction, and recorded $150,000 of stock based compensation expense
which is reflected as part of General and Administrative expenses in the
Statement of Operations.
In
January 2008, two Advisory Panel members and a Board of Director member received
restricted common stock for services to be rendered throughout
2008. The two Advisory Panel members received 50,000 and 100,000
shares, respectively, with a fair value of $1.00 per share or $150,000 while the
Board of Director member received 50,000 shares with a fair value of $1.00 per
share or $50,000. For the year ended December 31, 2008, $200,000 was
charged to the Statement of Operations as Share-based Compensation
expense.
[9]
Stockholders' Equity (Continued)
Also in
January 2008, the Company issued 117,500 shares of restricted common stock with
a fair value of $1.00 per share or $117,500 to employees. Shares
issued in connection with the Board of Director consent, were dispersed ratably
over the first two quarters of 2008 as authorized in the consent.
Additionally,
in January and February 2008, the Company sold 600 shares of common stock at
$1.00 per share to individual investees.
Finally,
in February 2008, certain stockholders of the Company with significant
ownership, cancelled shares they owned for no consideration. The
share cancellation totaled 7,200,000 of shares previously
outstanding.
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued to its SEC counsel, 450,000
shares of restricted common stock with a fair value of $1.00 per share or
$450,000 for services previously rendered in connection with the effective
filing of Form S-1 with the SEC.
[10]
Related Party Transactions
The
Company receives periodic advances from its principal stockholder based upon the
Company's cash flow needs. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, $394,532
and $90,289, respectively was due to the shareholder. Interest
expense is accrued at an average annual market rate of interest which was 4.99%
at December 31, 2008. No terms for repayment have been
established. As a result, the amount is classified as a Current
Liability.
In 2007,
the Company hired an information technology company to provide consultation and
technical support related to certain software applications and technology
infrastructure. The information technology company is also a
shareholder of the Company with a total ownership interest of less than
1%. During 2007, common stock issued to this information technology
company in connection with services rendered or, to be performed in future
periods totaled $100,000 or 100,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of
$1 per share. Of the total, $45,000 related to future services and was recorded
as deferred compensation. See “Debt Conversions” Note 9.

under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, we
have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable.

Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities
|
During
the past three years the Company has had the following unregistered sales of its
securities:
2009
In
January 2009, the Company agreed to issue its SEC counsel, 100,000 shares of
restricted common stock with a fair value of $0.40 per share or $40,000 for
services in connection with the effective filing of Form 15c-211 and submittal
to FINRA through a market maker. The Share-Based Compensation expense for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 amounted to $0 and $40,000,
respectively.
In
February 2009, the Company issued to its CEO 50,000 shares of restricted common
stock with a fair value of $0.40 per share or $20,000 for services as a Board of
Directors member throughout 2009. The Share-based Compensation
expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 amounted to
$5,000 and $15,000, respectively.
On
November 16, 2009 we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Tangiers.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement the Company may, at its
discretion, periodically sell to Tangiers shares of its common stock for a total
purchase price of up to $25,000,000. For each share of common stock purchased
under the Securities Purchase Agreement, Tangiers will pay us 88% of
the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock as quoted
by Bloomberg, LP on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal
market on which the Company's common stock is traded for the five days
immediately following the notice date. The price paid by Tangiers for the
Company's stock shall be determined as of the date of each individual request
for an advance under the Securities Purchase Agreement. Tangiers’
obligation to purchase shares of the Company's common stock under the Securities
Purchase Agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the Company
obtaining an effective registration statement for shares of the Company's common
stock sold under the Securities Purchase Agreement and is limited to $250,000
per ten consecutive trading days after the advance notice is provided to
Tangiers. The Securities Purchase Agreement shall terminate and Tangiers shall
have no further obligation to make advances under the Securities Purchase
Agreement at the earlier of the passing of 24 months after the date that the
Securities and Exchange Commission declares the Company’s registration statement
effective or the Company receives advances from Tangiers equal to the
$25,000,000. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, on December 16,
2009, Tangiers will receive a one-time commitment fee equal to $500,000 of the
Company's common stock divided by the lowest volume weighted average price of
the Company's common stock during the 10 business days immediately following the
date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, as quoted by Bloomberg,
LP. As of December 1, 2009, the shares of common stock to be
issued in order to receive advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement upon
issuance would equal approximately 30% of our outstanding common
stock.
2008
In
January 2008, two Advisory Panel members and a Board of Director member received
restricted common stock for services to be rendered throughout
2008. The two Advisory Panel members received 50,000 and 100,000
shares, respectively, with a fair value of $1.00 per share or $150,000 while the
Board of Director member received 50,000 shares with a fair value of $1.00 per
share or $50,000. For the year ended December 31, 2008, $200,000 was
charged to the Statement of Operations as Share-based Compensation
expense.
In
January 2008, the Company issued 117,500 shares of restricted common stock with
a fair value of $1.00 per share or $117,500 to employees. Shares
issued in connection with the Board of Director consent, were dispersed ratably
over the first two quarters of 2008 as authorized in the consent.
In
January and February 2008, the Company sold 600 shares of common stock at $1.00
per share to individual investees.
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued to its SEC counsel, 450,000
shares of restricted common stock with a fair value of $1.00 per share or
$450,000 for services previously rendered in connection with the effective
filing of Form S-1 with the SEC.
2007
In April
2007, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (the "Agreement") and
issued 100,000 shares of common stock at $1 per share to a vendor as full
satisfaction for accounts payable previously due and future services to be
rendered. Of the total $100,000 of common stock issued, $55,000 was
to satisfy previous account payable balances and $45,000 was issued as
consideration for future services to be rendered and is reflected in the
Deferred Compensation caption of the stockholders' equity section of the Balance
Sheet, of which approximately $14,000 and $31,000, respectively was expensed in
2008 and 2007. The shares have a one year restriction from sale or
offering.
In June
2007, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (the "Agreement") and
issued 150,000 shares of common stock at a fair market value of $1 per share to
a vendor as full satisfaction of an accounts payable balance of
$150,000. The shares have a one year restriction from sale or
offering and the Agreement allows for the vendor to purchase for a period of 60
months from the date of closing of this Agreement 150,000 shares of common stock
under "Class A" purchase warrants at $1.50 per share. Through
December 31, 2008, no "Class A" purchase warrants were exercised by the
vendor.
During
the second quarter of 2007, the Company conducted a
private placement offering (the "Offering") of its common stock to Accredited
Investors in accordance with SEC regulations. The offering was up to
40 units at $25,000 per unit or $1,000,000 in total. Each unit was
composed of 25,000 shares of common stock and 25,000 "Class A" common stock
purchase warrants to purchase additional shares at $1.50 per share.
During
2007, the Board of Directors ratified issuance of 50,000 restricted shares of
common stock to the Company's CEO, also serving as a director, as compensation
for services rendered through December 31, 2007. The Board of
Directors also ratified issuance of a total of 100,000 restricted shares of
common stock to two of the Company's Advisory Panel Members as compensation for
services rendered from January through December of 2007.
For the
year ended December 31, 2007, the Company valued their shares based on recent
stock transaction, and recorded $150,000 of stock based compensation expense
which is reflected as part of General and Administrative expenses in the
Statement of Operations.
In
instances described above where we issued securities in reliance upon Regulation
D, we relied upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act. These
stockholders who received the securities in such instances made representations
that (a) the stockholder is acquiring the securities for his, her or its own
account for investment and not for the account of any other person and not with
a view to or for distribution, assignment or resale in connection with any
distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act, (b) the stockholder
agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer the purchased shares unless they are
registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or
an exemption or exemptions from such registration are available, (c) the
stockholder has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such
that he, she or it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
investment in us, (d) the stockholder had access to all of our documents,
records, and books pertaining to the investment and was provided the opportunity
to ask questions and receive answers regarding the terms and conditions of the
offering and to obtain any additional information which we possessed or were
able to acquire without unreasonable effort and expense, and (e) the stockholder
has no need for the liquidity in its investment in us and could afford the
complete loss of such investment. Management made the determination that the
investors in instances where we relied on Regulation D are accredited investors
(as defined in Regulation D) based upon management’s inquiry into their
sophistication and net worth. In addition, there was no general solicitation or
advertising for securities issued in reliance upon Regulation D.
In
instances described above where we indicate that we relied upon Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act in issuing securities, our reliance was based upon the
following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private
transaction by us which did not involve a public offering; (b) there were only a
limited number of offerees; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous
public offerings of the securities by us; (d) the securities were not broken
down into smaller denominations; and (e) the negotiations for the sale of the
stock took place directly between the offeree and us.

Consent of Legal
Counsel(included in Exhibit 5.1) |
Item 17. Undertakings
(A) The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act
of 1933;
(ii) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment of
the Registration Statement) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in the Registration Statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(4) For
the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser, if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed
pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an
offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other
than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be
part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first
used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
will, as to the purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first
use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in
any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(B)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under
Item 14 above or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly
caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of Fairfield, State of New
Jersey, on the 15th day of January 2010.
