BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2012
(UNAUDITED)
[1] Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations - Bergio International, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 24, 2007 under the name Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc. On October 21, 2009, as a result of a Share Exchange Agreement (defined below), the corporate name was changed to Bergio International, Inc. and the Company implemented a 12-for-1 forward stock split of its common shares. Effective December 27, 2010, the Company implemented a 1-for-12 reverse stock split. All share and per share data has been adjusted to reflect such stock splits. The Company is engaged in the product design, manufacturing, distribution of fine jewelry primarily in the United States and is headquartered from its corporate office in Fairfield, New Jersey. Based on the nature of operations, the Companys 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 - The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements as of March 31, 2012, and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 March 31, 2012, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
[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
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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable is generated from sales of fine jewelry to retail outlets throughout the United States. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 customers financial condition, credit history and current economic circumstance. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 an allowance for doubtful accounts of $47,939 and $47,939 respectively has been provided.

BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2012
(UNAUDITED)
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.
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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 Companys services are provided, as well as their dispersion across many different geographical areas. As is characteristic of the Companys 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 managements review of accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. 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 generally accepted 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 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 - The Company follows guidance issued by the FASB on Fair Value Measurements for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. This guidance establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the FASB requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2012
(UNAUDITED)
These inputs are prioritized below:
·
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
·
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
·
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entitys own assumptions.
The Company discloses the estimated fair value for all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. As of March 31, 2012 the fair value of short-term financial instruments including cash overdraft, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates book value due to their short-term maturity. The fair value of property and equipment is estimated to approximate its net book value. The fair value of debt obligations, other than convertible debt obligations, approximates their face values due to their short-term maturities and/or the variable rates of interest associated with the underlying obligations.
The fair value of the Companys convertible debt is measured on a recurring basis (see Note 7).
The following table presents fair value measurements for major categories of the Companys financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

In addition, the FASB issued, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This guidance expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its qualifying financial instruments.
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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had an investment in which the Company owned less than 1% interest in an unconsolidated affiliate and therefore the investment is carried at cost.
Deferred Offering and Deferred Financing Costs - We defer certain costs associated with financing activities related to the issuance of equity securities (deferred offering costs) and debt securities (deferred financing costs). These costs consist primarily of legal, banking and other professional fees related to the transactions. Upon successful completion of the offering of equity securities, deferred offering costs are recorded as a reduction of the net proceeds in paid in capital. If the offering is not successful, such costs will be expensed. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the related debt.

MARCH 31, 2012
(UNAUDITED)
Equity-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for equity based compensation transactions with employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 718, Compensation: Stock Compensation (Topic No. 718). Topic No. 718 requires the recognition of the fair value of equity-based compensation in net income. The fair value of common stock issued for compensation is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of the Companys equity instruments, other than common stocks, is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and elections including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. In addition, the calculation of equity-based compensation costs requires that the Company estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited during the vesting period. The fair value of equity-based awards granted to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the award and the Company elected to use the straight-line method for awards granted after the adoption of Topic No. 718.
The Company accounts for equity based transactions with non-employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (Topic No. 505-50). Topic No. 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to non-employees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, the Company recognizes an asset or expense in the same manner as if it was to receive cash for the goods or services instead of paying with or using the equity instrument.
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 March 31, 2012 and 2011, was approximately $38,361 and $18,564, 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately $638 and $27,000, respectively, of trade show expenses have been recorded.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 740 Income Taxes which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements. The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
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. Equity instruments that may dilute earnings per share in the future are listed in Note 7.
Subsequent Events - The Company evaluated subsequent events, which are events or transactions that occurred after March 31, 2012 through the issuance of the accompanying financial statements.

[3] New Authoritative Accounting Guidance
On May 12, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04. The ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to develop a single, converged fair value framework. Thus, there are few differences between the ASU and its international counterpart, IFRS 13. This ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP; however it expands ASC 820s existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2011-04 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
On June 16, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2011-05 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have an effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Interest expense is accrued at an average annual market rate of interest which was 3.94% and 3.25%3.94% at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. No terms for repayment have been established. As a result, the amount is classified as a Current Liability.
In the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,988,054 and 3,232,020 shares of common stock to its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), in accordance with his employment agreement (See Note 11), respectively. The shares are valued at $23,558 and $70,833 the amount of unpaid compensation owed the CEO, respectively.
[11] Commitment and Contingencies
Employment Agreement - Effective February 28, 2010, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its CEO. The agreement, which is for a five year term, provides for an initial base salary of $175,000 per year with a 3% annual increase thereafter (the Base Salary). The CEO is also entitled to certain bonuses based on net profits before taxes and other customary benefits, as defined in the agreement. In addition, since it is understood that the Company is employing the CEO during a time of economic decline throughout the U.S. and at times and from time to time, the Company may not be in a position to pay the full amount of Base Salary owed the CEO it is understood and agreed to by the Board, that as long as the Company is unable to pay the CEO the full amount of his Base Salary that the Board shall issue to him, from time to time, an amount of shares that will allow him to remain in possession of fifty-one percent (51%) of the Companys then outstanding common stock. Such issuances shall be made to the CEO at any time when his total share holdings are reduced to an amount less than fifty-one percent (51%) as a result of issuance of shares made on behalf of the Company. The CEO waived the 3% annual increase for 2011.
Effective September 1, 2011, the Company and CEO entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the Amended Agreement) which primarily retains the term and compensation of the original agreement. The Amended Agreement, however, removes the section which previously provided for the issuance of Company common stock to the CEO, from time to time, when the Company is unable to pay the CEO the full amount of his Base Salary which would allow the CEO to maintain a fifty-one percent (51%) share of the Companys outstanding common stock. However, the CEO does have the right to request all or a portion of his unpaid Base Salary be paid with the Companys restricted common stock. In addition, the Amended Agreement provides for the issuance of 51 shares of newly authorized Series A Preferred Stock to be issued to the CEO. As defined in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, each share of Series A Preferred Stock has voting rights such that the holder of 51 shares of 51 shares of Series A Preferred Stock will effectively maintain majority voting control of the Company. Effective November 3, 2011, the CEO notified the Company that for the one year period, retroactive from April 1, 2011, through March 31, 2012, he would reduce his Base Compensation to $100,000.
Operating Leases - The Company leases certain office and manufacturing facilities and equipment. The Companys office and manufacturing facilities are currently leased on a month to month basis at $1,800 per month. The equipment lease agreements are non-cancelable and expire at various dates through 2011. All these leases are classified as operating leases.
Rent expense for the Companys operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, was approximately $3,300 and $6,000, respectively.

Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports (collectively, the Filings) filed by the Bergio International, Inc. (Bergio or the Company) from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Companys management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Companys management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, future, intend, plan, or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Companys management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the Risk Factors section of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the SEC, relating to the Companys industry, the Companys operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require managements judgment in its application. There are also areas in which managements judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Plan of Operation
We concentrate our business on boutique, upscale jewelry stores. We currently sell our jewelry to approximately 50 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. 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. 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.
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.
4
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 worlds 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 report, we do not have any binding agreements with any potential acquisition candidates or arrangements with any third parties for financing.

Sales
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012, were $329,947, compared to $270,551 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This resulted in an increase of approximately $59,396 or 22% from the comparable period. The increase in sales is primarily a result of our efforts to introduce new products and to expand our customer base outside the United States and into Europe and Asia.
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 March 31, 2012, was $135,660, a decrease of approximately $45,393, or 25%, from $181,053 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in cost of sales relative to sales is primarily due to selling old inventory at a higher margin because of the increase of the price of metals and diamonds.
Gross Profit
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, our gross profit as a percentage of sales was 59%, compared to a gross profit as a percentage of sales of 33% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase in gross profit percentage during was primarily attributable to selling old Inventory as described above.

Selling Expenses
Total selling expenses were $38,528 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which was approximately a $29,076 or 43% decrease from $67,604 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Selling expenses include advertising, trade show expenses, travel and selling commissions. The decrease in selling expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2012, is a result on cutting back on advertisement for the first quarter due to the volatility of the economy.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $188,210 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, versus $180,819 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately $7,391 or 4%. The increase in general and administrative expenses primarily results from a decrease in share-based services of $242,900, offset by increases in payroll costs and professional fees, incurred in the implementation our expansion plans and in our efforts to raise capital.
Loss from Operations
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we had a loss from operations totaling $32,451, which was a decrease of approximately $126,474 (80%) from the loss of $158,925 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. As discussed above, reductions in our cost of sales and selling expenses and the increase in revenues was the primary reason for the significant decrease in our operating loss.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (Expense) in the three months ended March 31, 2012, is comprised primarily of the fair value change in our derivative of $6,278, net interest expense of $15,889, amortization of debt discount of $130,038, and amortization of deferred financing costs of $20,772. Other income (Expense) in the three months ended March 31, 2011, is comprised primarily of the fair value change in our derivative of $14,400, interest expense of $17,155, and amortization of debt discount of $16,150.
Net Loss
We incurred a net loss of $221,669 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of $177,830 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This represented an increase in our net loss of approximately $43,839 (25%) from the comparable period, attributable to the various factors. The increase in net loss is primarily attributable to our increase in amortization of debt discount from March 31, 2011, to March 31 2012, of approximately $114,000 and an increase in amortization of deferred financing cost of approximately $21,000.

|
At March 31, 2012, we had cash of $18,252, compared to a cash balance of $128,238 at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $109,986. Over the next twelve months we believe that our existing capital combined with available borrowing under our bank line of credit and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to sustain our current operations. Additionally, our major stockholder has agreed to continue, at time to time as needed, to advance funds under similar terms as his current advances. It is anticipated that we will need to sell additional equity and/or debt securities in the event we locate potential mergers and/or acquisitions.
Our working capital decreased by 3% as of March 31, 2012, as discussed below.
Accounts receivable at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, was $383,572 and $385,642, respectively, representing a decrease of $2,070 or 1%. 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 managements assessed credit risk of the respective customer, and may at managements discretion, increase or decrease payment terms based on those considerations. The decrease in accounts receivable is primarily attributable to our increased collection efforts.
Inventory at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, was $1,674,659 and $1,529,394, respectively. 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 March 31, 2012, were $210,402, compared to $119,231 at December 31, 2011, which represents a 76% increase. This increase is attributed to the purchasing of raw material for production for our upcoming Vegas JCK show.
Advances from our major stockholder at March 31, 2012, were $221,244, compared to $323,086 at December 31, 2011. The decrease is a result of additional repayments in 2012.
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 March 31, 2012, we had one outstanding term loan. The term loan, with Leaf Financial Corp., which is payable in monthly installments and matures in April 2014, had an original balance of $100,000. The note bears an annual interest rate of 10.52% and as of March 31, 2012, there was an outstanding balance of $47,768. The note is collateralized by our assets. We also had a $300,000 term loan with JPMorgan Chase, which had an outstanding balance of $72,371 and was paid in
7
the fourth quarter of 2011, through an assignment and convertible debenture agreement with Panache Capital, LLC, as discussed below.
In December 2011, we entered into a $75,000 bank line of credit agreement with Columbia Bank. Interest is at the banks prime rate plus 1.75% with a minimum rate of 5.75%. The credit line has not been utilized in 2012. The line is collateralized by our assets as well as a personal guarantee by the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Berge Abajian. We had a bank line of credit of $55,000 with JPMorgan Chase Bank, which had an outstanding balance of $36,971 and was paid in the fourth quarter of 2011, through an assignment and convertible debenture agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc. (Asher), as discussed below.
In addition to term loans, we have a number of various unsecured credit card obligations. These obligations require minimal monthly payments of interest and principle and as of March 31, 2012, have interest rates ranging from 3.99% to 8.75%. As of March 31, 2012, we have outstanding balances related to these obligations of $74,730.
Convertible Debt
We have convertible debt notes maturing in various months during 2012, with the latest maturity of December 31, 2012. The notes interest rates range from 8% to 12%. The conversion feature is accounted for as an embedded derivative carried on our balance sheet at fair value and any unrealized change in fair value is a component on our statement of operations. The embedded derivative is valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. At March 31, 2012 convertible debt of $460,542 is shown net of debt discount of $101,185. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, amortization of debt discount amounted to $130,038 and unrealized gain from the change in the fair value of the derivative liability amounted to $6,278.
Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months
A critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence is to efficiently manage 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 growth of our operations. This may materially impact our ability to increase revenue and continue our growth.
Over the next twelve months we believe that our existing capital combined with available borrowing under our bank line of credit and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to sustain our current operations. In addition, our major stockholder has agreed to continue, at time to time as needed, to advance funds under similar terms as his current advances. However, in the event we locate potential acquisitions and/or mergers we will most likely need to obtain additional funding through the sale of equity and/or debt securities. There can be no assurance that if additional funding is required we will be able to secure it on terms that are favorable to us or at all.
Research and Development
We are not anticipating significant research and development expenditures in the near future.
Expected Purchase or Sale of Plant and Significant Equipment
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment; as such items are not required by us at this time.
Significant Changes in the Number of Employees
We currently have 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. None of
8
our employees are subject to any collective bargaining agreements. We do not anticipate a significant change in the number of full time employees over the next 12 months.
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.
Critical Accounting Policies
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.
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 $48,000 and $48,000 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with generally accepted 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 measures 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 managements assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in their impairment analyses may not be achieved.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows guidance issued by the FASB on Fair Value Measurements for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. This guidance establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the FASB requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
These inputs are prioritized below:
·
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
·
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
·
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entitys own assumptions.

The Company discloses the estimated fair value for all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. As of March 31, 2012, the fair value of short-term financial instruments including cash overdraft, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates book value due to their short-term maturity. The fair value of property and equipment is estimated to approximate its net book value. The fair value of debt obligations, other than convertible debt obligations, approximates their face values due to their short-term maturities and/or the variable rates of interest associated with the underlying obligations.
The fair value of the Companys convertible debt is measured on a recurring basis.
The following table presents fair value measurements for major categories of the Companys financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

In addition, the FASB issued, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This guidance expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its qualifying financial instruments.
Deferred Offering and Deferred Financing Costs
We defer certain costs associated with financing activities related to the issuance of equity securities (deferred offering costs) and debt securities (deferred financing costs). These costs consist primarily of legal, banking and other professional fees related to the transactions. Upon successful completion of the offering of equity securities, deferred offering costs are recorded as a reduction of the net proceeds in paid in capital. If the offering is not successful, such costs will be expensed. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the related debt.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity based compensation transactions with employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 718, Compensation: Stock Compensation (Topic No. 718). Topic No. 718 requires the recognition of the fair value of equity-based compensation in net income. The fair value of common stock issued for compensation is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of the Companys equity instruments, other than common stocks, is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and elections including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. In addition, the calculation of equity-based compensation costs requires that the Company estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited during the vesting period. The fair value of equity-based awards granted to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the award and the Company elected to use the straight-line method for awards granted after the adoption of Topic No. 718.
The Company accounts for equity based transactions with non-employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (Topic No. 505-50). Topic No. 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to non-employees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, the Company recognizes an asset or expense in the same manner as if it was to receive cash for the goods or services instead of paying with or using the equity instrument.

Revenue Recognition
The Companys management recognizes revenue when realized or realizable and earned. In connection with revenue, the Company established a sales return and allowance reserve for anticipated merchandise to be returned based on historical operations. The Companys 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. Realizing that this may, and in some periods has, resulted in a significant amount of sales returns, management revised the Company policy of accepting merchandise returns. Whereas under prior policy customers had up to 360 days to return merchandise and were allowed credits as offsets to their outstanding accounts receivable, under the current return policy merchandise, with limited exceptions, cannot be returned.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
On May 12, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04. The ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to develop a single, converged fair value framework. Thus, there are few differences between the ASU and its international counterpart, IFRS 13. This ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP; however it expands ASC 820s existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2011-04 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
On June 16, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2011-05 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have an effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Principal Executive Officer (PEO) and Principal Financial Officer (PFO), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
11
relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management designed the disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our PEO and PFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based upon that evaluation, the PEO and PFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
