NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ZIVO Bioscience, Inc. and its wholly- owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements have also been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2021, as amended.

 

The Company’s common stock commenced trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on May 28, 2021 under the ticker symbol “ZIVO.” Previously, the Company’s common stock was traded on the OTC Markets quotation system on the OTCQB.

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $(4,064,627) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, the Company had a working capital surplus of $7,419,643 and a stockholders’ surplus of $7,332,972 at June 30, 2021. Notwithstanding the presently reported surpluses, our spending patterns and lack of revenue continue to raise substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and prior to the June 2021 Offering, the Company raised $1,564,970 from the issuance of common stock and exercise of common stock warrants and $150,000 from the proceeds from the sale of Participation Agreements and related warrants. On June 2, 2021 the Company completed the June 2021 Offering from which the Company netted proceeds of $12,181,602 after related underwriting and other costs. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses and net cash outflows until such time as it generates a level of revenue to support its cost structure. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve profitable operations, and, if achieved, whether it will be sustained on a continued basis. These factors indicate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are filed. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business; no adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

 

The Company intends to fund ongoing activities by utilizing its current cash on hand and by raising additional capital through equity or debt financings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising that additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional capital, the Company may be compelled to reduce the scope of its operations and planned capital expenditures.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

Accounting Estimates

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management uses its best judgment in valuing these estimates and may, as warranted, solicit external professional advice and other assumptions believed to be reasonable.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. At June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any Cash Equivalents.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Property and Equipment

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized in accordance with revenue recognition accounting guidance, which utilizes five steps to determine whether revenue can be recognized and to what extent: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s); (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) determine the recognition period. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Significant judgments exercised by management include the identification of performance obligations, and whether such promised goods or services are considered distinct. The Company evaluates promised goods or services on a contract-by-contract basis to determine whether each promise represents a good or service that is distinct or has the same pattern of transfer as other promises. A promised good or service is considered distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service independently of other goods/services either in the contract or that can be obtained elsewhere, without regard to contract exclusivity, and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contact. If the good or service is not considered distinct, the Company combines such promises and accounts for them as a single combined performance obligation.

 

For six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company had $0 and $20,000 of revenue, respectively.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, no shipping and handling costs were incurred.

 

Deferred Offering Expenses

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred $143,377 of costs directly related to our planned public securities offering. We have recorded those costs as Deferred Offering Expenses on our balance sheet and will reduce our proceeds from the security sale by those costs and any additional directly related future costs. On June 2, 2021, the Company successfully executed the public securities offering and applied those offering expenses against Additional Paid in Capital. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had no Deferred Offering Expenses.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company's research and development costs, including internal expenses, consist of clinical study expenses as it relates to the biotech business and the development and growing of algae as it relates to the agtech business. These consist of fees, charges, and related expenses incurred in the conduct of business with Company development by independent outside contractors, and the cost of Company personnel who work on Research and Development activities. Total internal and external clinical studies study expenses were approximately $1,115,000 and $2,013,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

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

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, stock options and warrants were granted to employees, the Board of Directors and consultants of the Company. As a result of these grants, the Company recorded compensation expense of $1,367,389 and $1,196,222 for these periods, respectively.

 

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

 

 

 

Six Months Ended June 30,

 

 

 

2021

 

 

2020

Risk free rate

 

0.29% to 1.45

%

 

0.79% to 1.45

%

 

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

 

Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted loss per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants and conversions of debentures. Potentially dilutive securities as of June 30, 2021, consisted of 52,839 common shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debentures and related accrued interest and 6,344,868 common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding exercisable stock options and warrants. Potentially dilutive securities as of June 30, 2020, consisted of 940,018 common shares from convertible debentures and related accrued interest and 2,776,525 common shares from outstanding exercisable stock options and warrants. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020 diluted and basic weighted average shares are the same, as potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. There were no advertising costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

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

 

Reclassifications

 

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

 

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards

 

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

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases,” to require lessees to recognize all leases, with limited exceptions, on the balance sheet, while recognition on the statement of operations will remain similar to current lease accounting. The ASU also eliminates real estate-specific provisions and modifies certain aspects of lessor accounting. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842”, ASU No. 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements,” and ASU No. 2018-20, “Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors,” to clarify and amend the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period.

 

The Company has adopted each of the ASUs. Prior comparative periods were not required to be restated and the ASUs have not had an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – LEASES

 

On December 17, 2020, the Company entered into a 25 ½ month lease agreement for a 2,700-square-foot facility that contains office, warehouse, lab and R&D space in Ft. Myers, Florida. The lease agreement commenced on December 17, 2020 and ends on January 31, 2023. The agreement provided for a total rent of $54,993 over the period. Occupancy of the property commenced on December 17, 2020, there was a 6-week rent holiday and a commencement date of February 1, 2021. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rent is $3,291 per month from January 15, 2021 to January 31, 2022 and $1,154 from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT

 

HEP Investments, LLC – Related Party

 

On December 2, 2011, the Company and HEP Investments entered into the following documents, effective as of December 1, 2011, as amended through May 16, 2018: (i) a Loan Agreement under which HEP Investments has agreed to advance up to $20,000,000 to the Company, subject to certain conditions, (ii) an 11% Convertible Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $20,000,000 (“Note”) (of which a total of $18,470,640 has been funded, the total amount of which, along with accrued interest was subsequently converted into 2,577,810 shares of common stock, leaving a balance advanced of $ -0- as of June 30, 2021), (iii) a Security Agreement, under which the Company granted HEP Investments a security interest in all of its assets, (iv) issue HEP Investments warrants to purchase 20,834 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $9.60 per share (including a cashless exercise provision) which expired September 30, 2016 (from the original December 1, 2011 agreement), (v) enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with respect to all the shares of common stock issuable to HEP Investments in connection with the Loan transaction, in each case subject to completion of funding of the full $20,000,000 called for by the Loan Agreement, and (vi) an Intellectual Property security agreement under which the Company and its subsidiaries granted HEP Investments a security interest in all their respective intellectual properties, including patents, in order to secure their respective obligations to HEP Investments under the Note and related documents. HEP Investments’ Notes were convertible into the Company’s restricted common stock at $8.00 per share and bear interest at the rate of 11% per annum. In addition, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Note. The Company also made certain agreements with HEP Investments which were to remain in effect if any amount is outstanding under the Loan. These agreements include an agreement not to make any change in the Company’s senior management, without the prior written consent of HEP Investments. Two representatives of HEP Investments have the right to attend Board of Director meetings as non-voting observers.

 

In January 2019, and in connection with the Convertible Note, HEP Investments entered into a life insurance policy for Andrew Dahl, our Chief Executive Officer. On February 23, 2021, the Company and Lender entered into a Letter Agreement in which the Company agreed to pay certain premiums of $2,565 per month under the life insurance policy while payments under the Convertible Note remain outstanding. As of June 2, 2021, the Company ceased paying premiums on the life insurance policy for Andrew Dahl.

 

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

 

On March 31, 2021, HEP Investments entered into a “Debt Extension and Conversion Agreement” with the Company. This agreement provides that the notes, including principal and accrued interest, automatically convert into shares of common stock per the original note provisions upon consummation of an underwritten public offering of the Company’s common stock.

 

On June 2, 2021, in accordance with the Debt Extension and Conversion Agreement between the HEP Investments and the Company, all of the outstanding debt and accrued interest for the Notes was automatically converted into common stock of the Company. The principal amount of $4,090,342 and the accrued interest to June 2, 2021, of $2,161,845 totaled $6,252,187; this total amount was converted into 781,524 shares of common stock at $8.00 per share. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has no further remaining financial obligations to the HEP Investments under the terms of the convertible notes. As of the conversion of the total outstanding principal and accrued interest balance, HEP Investments no longer retains a security interest in the Company’s intellectual property or other assets.

 

Paulson Investment Company, LLC - Related Debt

 

On August 24, 2016, the Company entered into a Placement Agent Agreement with Paulson Investment Company, LLC (“Paulson”). The agreement provided that Paulson could provide the Company with up to $2 million in financings through “accredited investors” (as defined by Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). As of December 31, 2016, the Company received funding of $1,250,000 through seven (7) individual loans (the “New Lenders”). Each loan included a (i) a Loan Agreement of the individual loan, (ii) a Convertible Secured Promissory Note (“New Lenders Notes”) in the principal amount of the loan, (iii) a Security Agreement under which the Company granted HEP Investments a security interest in all of its assets and (iv) an Intercreditor Agreement with HEP Investments, LLC (HEP) whereby HEP and the New Lenders agree to participate in all collateral on a pari passu basis. The loans have a two-year term and mature in September 2018 ($600,000) and October 2018 ($650,000). Paulson received a 10% cash finance fee for monies invested in the Company in the form of convertible debt, along with 5 year, $8.00 warrants equal to 15% of the number of common shares for which the debt is convertible into at $8.00 per share. The New Lenders Notes are convertible into the Company’s restricted common stock at $8.00 per share and bear interest at the rate of 11% per annum.

 

On September 24, 2018, one New Lender converted $300,000 of the debt and $64,280 of accrued interest into 45,535 shares of the Company’s common stock (at $8.00 per share). On May 8, 2019, one of the New Lenders bought the note of another New Lender.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT (continued)

 

Paulson Investment Company, LLC - Related Debt (continued)

 

On January 15, 2020, two New Lenders converted $100,000 of the debt and $36,225 of accrued interest into 17,028 shares of the Company’s common stock (at $8.00 per share).

 

The New Lenders Notes state that they will be repaid as follows: accrued interest must be paid on the first and second anniversary of the Note and unpaid principal not previously converted into common stock must be repaid on the second anniversary of the New Lender Note.

 

In May 2021, each of the remaining three New Lenders entered into a Debt Extension and Conversion Agreement with the Company. These agreements provide that the notes, including principal and accrued interest, automatically convert into shares of common stock per the original note provisions upon consummation of an underwritten public offering of the Company’s common stock.

 

On June 2, 2021, in accordance with the “Debt Extension and Conversion Agreement” between the remaining New Lenders and the Company, all of the remaining outstanding debt and accrued interest for the New Lenders Notes were automatically converted to common stock. The principal amount of $850,000 and the accrued interest to June 2, 2021, of $436,369 totaled $1,286,369; this total amount was converted into 160,798 shares of common stock at $8.00 per share. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has no further remaining financial obligations to the New Lenders under the terms of the New Lenders Notes. All security interests of the New Lenders in the Company’s assets have been terminated.

 

Other Debt

 

In September 2014, the lender of the 1% convertible debentures agreed to rolling 30-day extensions until notice is given to the Company to the contrary. As of June 30, 2021, that agreement is still in place. The Company determined that the modification of these notes is not a substantial modification in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Modifications and Extinguishments.”

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE – SBA PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM

 

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

 

On May 7, 2020, The Company received $121,700 in loan funding from the Paycheck Protection Program (the "PPP") established pursuant to the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the "CARES Act") and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA"). The unsecured loan (the "PPP Loan") is evidenced by a promissory note of the Company, dated April 29, 2020 (the "Note") in the principal amount of $121,700 with Comerica Bank (the "Bank"), the lender.

 

Under the terms of the Note and the PPP Loan, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 1.0% per annum. The term of the Note is two years, though it may be payable sooner in connection with an event of default under the Note. To the extent the loan amount is not forgiven under the PPP, the Company will be obligated to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest beginning on the date that is seven months from the date of the Note, until the maturity date. The Note may be prepaid in part or in full, at any time, without penalty.

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE – SBA PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM (continued)

 

Paycheck Protection Program Loan (continued)

 

The CARES Act and the PPP provide a mechanism for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed. Under the PPP, the Company may apply for forgiveness for all or a part of the PPP Loan. The amount of loan proceeds eligible for forgiveness, as amended, is based on a formula that takes into account a number of factors, including: (i) the amount of loan proceeds that are used by the Company during the covered period after the loan origination date for certain specified purposes including payroll costs, interest on certain mortgage obligations, rent payments on certain leases, and certain qualified utility payments, provided that at least 60% of the loan amount is used for eligible payroll costs; (ii) the Company maintaining or rehiring employees, and maintaining salaries at certain levels; and (iii) other factors established by the SBA. Subject to the other requirements and limitations on loan forgiveness, only that portion of the loan proceeds spent on payroll and other eligible costs during the covered period will qualify for forgiveness. Although the Company currently intends to use the entire amount of the PPP Loan for qualifying expenses, no assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.

 

The Note contains customary events of default as follows. The Company:

 

 

·

Fails to make a scheduled payment;

 

 

 

 

·

Fails to do anything required by the Note and other Loan Documents;

 

 

 

 

·

·

Is not eligible to receive a loan under the PPP when the PPP Loan is made;

 

 

 

 

·

Does not disclose, or anyone acting on their behalf does not disclose, any material fact to Bank or SBA;

 

 

 

 

·

Makes, or anyone acting on their behalf makes, a materially false or misleading representation to Bank or SBA;

 

 

 

 

·

Defaults on any loan or agreement with another creditor, if Bank believes the default may materially affect the Company's ability to pay the Note;

 

 

 

 

·

Fails to pay any taxes when due;

 

 

 

 

·

Becomes the subject of a proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law;

 

 

 

 

·

Has a receiver or liquidator appointed for any part of its business or property;

 

 

 

 

·

Makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors;

 

 

 

 

·

Has any adverse change in financial condition or business operation that Bank believes may materially affect the Company's ability to pay the Note, provided that this provision shall not apply to adverse changes or conditions resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic and the circumstances giving rise to the CARES Act;

 

 

 

 

·

Reorganizes, merges, consolidates, or otherwise changes ownership or business structure, (2) makes any distribution of the Company's assets that would adversely affect its financial condition, or (3) transfers (including by pledge) or disposes of any assets except in the ordinary course of business, in each case without Bank's prior written consent; or

 

 

 

 

·

Becomes the subject of a civil or criminal action that Bank believes may materially affect the Company's ability to pay the Note.

  

Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Bank has customary remedies and may, among other things, require immediate payment of all amounts owed under the Note, collect all amounts owing from the Company, and file suit and obtain judgment against the Company.

NOTE 8 - DEFERRED REVENUE - PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS

 

From April 13, 2020, through June 30, 2021, the Company entered into twenty-one (21) License Co-Development Participation Agreements (the “Participation Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (“Participants”) for an aggregate of $2,985,000. The Participation Agreements provide for the issuance of warrants to such Participants and allows the Participants to participate in the fees (the “Fees”) from licensing or selling bioactive ingredients or molecules derived from ZIVO’s algae cultures. Specifically, ZIVO has agreed to provide to the Participants a 44.78% “Revenue Share” of all license fees generated by ZIVO from any licensee (See the Table below).

 

According to the terms of the Agreements, and pursuant to ASC 470-10-25 “Debt – Sales of Future Revenues” the Company has bifurcated the proceeds of $2,985,000 as follows: 1) the 106,315 warrants sold were attributed a value of $953,897 based on the Black Scholes pricing model using the following assumptions: volatilities ranging from 139.55% to 154.26%; annual rate of dividends 0%; discount rates ranging from 0.26% to 0.45%, and recorded as Additional Paid In Capital; 2) the remaining $2,031,103 was recorded as Deferred Revenue – Participation Agreements. Since the Company believes there is a rebuttable presumption pursuant to ASC 470-10-25.2, the Deferred Revenue – Participation Agreements will be amortized into income, using an estimate to be determined by Management, if and when the Company derives income from the license or sale of bioactive ingredients or molecules (including its TLR4 Inhibitor molecule) derived from the Company’s algae cultures.

 

The Participation Agreements allow the Company the option to buy back the right, title and interest in the Revenue Share for an amount equal to the amount funded plus a forty percent (40%) premium, if the option is exercised less than 18 months following execution, and for either forty (40%) or fifty percent (50%) if the option is exercised more than 18 months following execution. Pursuant to the terms fifteen of the Participation Agreements, the Company may not exercise its option until it has paid the Participants a revenue share equal to a minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the amount such Participant’s total payment amount. Pursuant to the terms of the one of the Participation Agreements, the Company may not exercise its option until it has paid the Participant a revenue share equal to a minimum of one hundred forty percent (140%) of the amount such Participant’s total payment amount. Four of the Participation Agreements have no minimum threshold payment.  Once this minimum threshold is met, the Company may exercise its option by delivering written notice to a Participant of its intent to exercise the option, along with repayment terms of the amount funded, which may be paid, in the Company’s sole discretion, in one lump sum or in four (4) equal quarterly payments. If the Company does not make such quarterly payments timely for any quarter, then the Company shall pay the prorate Revenue Share amount, retroactive on the entire remaining balance owed, that would have been earned during such quarter until the default payments have been made and the payment schedule is no longer in default.  See below a summary of the Participation Agreements:

NOTE 9 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

 

Recapitalization - Reverse Stock Split

 

On November 11, 2020, ZIVO’s stockholders approved a reverse stock split of its common stock within the range of 1-for-25 to 1-for-120 of our authorized, issued, and outstanding shares of common stock. The Board was given discretion to determine the final ratio, effective date, and date of filing of the certificate of amendment to our articles of incorporation, as amended, in connection with the reverse stock split.

 

 On May 27, 2021, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to (i) effectuate a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock and treasury shares on a 1-for-80 basis and (ii) decrease the number of total authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company from 1,200,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares. The Certificate of Amendment became effective at 12:01 a.m. (Eastern Time) on May 28, 2021 (the “Effective Time”).

 

As of the Effective Time, every 80 shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock were converted into one share of Common Stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, a holder of record of old Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time who would otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share was entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof.

 

The Company’s transfer agent, Issuer Direct Corporation acted as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split did not alter the par value of the Company’s common stock or modify any voting rights or other terms of the Common Stock. In addition, pursuant to their terms, a proportionate adjustment was made to the per share exercise price and number of shares issuable under all of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plan will be reduced proportionately.

 

All issued and outstanding common stock and per share amounts contained in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. In addition, a proportionate adjustment was made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. A proportionate adjustment was also made to the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive compensation plans to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Stock Issuances

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued 139,668 shares for proceeds of $1,514,970, to private investors. In addition, during this same period, a related party purchased 4,464 shares of the Company’s common stock at $11.20 per share for proceeds of $50,000. The Company, on June 15, 2021, issued 5,000 shares of restricted common stock to CorProminence, LLC (d/b/a COREir) for services in accordance with the consulting agreement between COREir and the Company (See Note 10 – Commitment and Contingencies). The shares were value at the market price on June 15, 2021, $4.48 per share for a total expense of $22,400

 

On June 2, 2021, the Company completed its planned public offering of common stock shares and common stock warrants. The Company issued 2,760,000 units (each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one 5 year warrant to purchase one share of common stock for $5.50 per share) for gross proceeds of $13,800,000, and net proceeds of $12,177,362 after related underwriting and other costs of $1,622,638.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 1,953 shares at $12.80 per share for proceeds of $25,000, to private investors.

 

Stock Warrants Exercised

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, warrants to purchase 139,100 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised on a “cashless” basis resulting in the issuance of 54,361 shares of common stock.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, HEP Investments, a principal shareholder and related party, assigned warrants to purchase 53,125 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to third party investors. These warrants were exercised at $8.00 per share resulting in proceeds of $425,000.

As it relates to Wellmetris, if and when at least $2 million in equity capital is raised from a third party and invested in Wellmetris in an arms-length transaction, Mr. Dahl shall be granted a warrant to purchase an equity interest in Wellmetris that is equal to the equity interest in Wellmetris owned by the Company at the time of the first tranche of any such capital raise (the “Wellmetris Warrant”). The Wellmetris Warrant shall be fully vested as of the date it is granted and shall expire on the 10th anniversary of the grant date. Once granted, the Wellmetris Warrant may be exercised from time to time in whole or in part, with Mr. Dahl retaining any unexercised portion. The exercise price for the Wellmetris Warrant shall be equal to the fair market value of the interest in Wellmetris implied by the pricing of the first tranche of any such capital raise.

NOTE 10- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

 

Supply Chain Consulting Agreement

 

On February 27, 2019, the Company entered into a Supply Chain Consulting Agreement with a consultant (“Consultant”) (see Note 11 – Stockholders’ Deficiency). In May 2019, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 62,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 for a term of five years to the Consultant. The warrants were valued at $529,023 using the Black Scholes pricing model relying on the following assumptions: volatility 181.49%; annual rate of dividends 0%; discount rate 2.34%. In October 2019, 25,000 of those warrants were returned to the Company resulting in a reduction in the value of $211,609. On September 14, 2019, the parties entered into a First Amendment to the Supply Chain Consulting Agreement (“Supply Consulting Agreement Amendment”). The Supply Consulting Agreement Amendment provides that the Consultant will identify and help negotiate the terms of potential joint ventures involving algae production development projects or related transactions or business combinations (“Development Project”). The Supply Consulting Agreement provides for exclusivity in Southeast Asia; Oceania; Indian subcontinent; and Africa; with regions in the Middle East by mutual agreement. The closing of a Development Project (as acceptable to the Company) is defined as the date that the Company is able, financially and otherwise, to proceed with engineering and construction of algae production facilities, processing or warehousing facilities and supply chain development, or related business combinations rendering an equivalent outcome (in the reasonable determination of the Company), for the production, processing, transport, compliance, marketing and resale of its proprietary algae biomass. Upon the closing of a Development Project, the Company will pay cash fees of $300,000 to Consultant, pay an on-going monthly fee of $50,000 for 24 months and issue to Consultant a cashless warrant with a five-year term to purchase two hundred thirty-seven thousand and five hundred (237,500) shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share. On November 24, 2020, the parties entered into a Second Amendment to the Supply Chain Consulting Agreement whereby the issuance to Consultant a cashless warrant with a five-year term to purchase two hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred (237,500) shares of the Company’s common stock was reduced to one hundred sixty-two thousand five hundred (162,500) shares of the Company’s common stock, and a cashless warrant with a five-year term to purchase thirty-seven thousand five hundred (37,500) shares of the Company’s common stock was issued to a member of the Consultant. The warrants were valued at $386,348 using the Black Scholes pricing model relying on the following assumptions: volatility 148.83%; annual rate of dividends 0%; discount rate 0.39%. As of June 30, 2021, the Development Project has not closed, and the warrants have not yet been issued.

 

The Board of Directors has also authorized the Company to issue to Consultant a cashless warrant with a five-year term to purchase 12,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share at its discretion. As of June 30, 2021, such warrant has not been issued.

 

On March 1, 2021, the Company and the aforementioned “member of the Consultant” signed an amendment to the original consulting agreement. The member of the Consultant agreed to take on additional responsibilities related to the non-North America expansion of the Company biomass production network. Upon the successful formation, licensing and start of operations, the member of the Consultant will be granted warrants to purchase 40,625 shares of the Company’s common stock at the prevailing market price at that time. In addition, a monthly cash payment of $12,500 is included in the consulting agreement.

 

Marketing / Public Relations

 

On December 27, 2019, the Company entered into a Marketing / Public Relations Agreement (“MPR Agreement”) with a consultant (“MPR Consultant”). The MPR Agreement provides that the MPR Consultant will assist the Company in identifying and assist in the negotiation of potential licensing, product sales, joint ventures and venture financing of projects outside of the United States and provide advice for the Company’s long-term business strategy and commercial relationships. The MPR Agreement calls for the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 62,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price based on the closing market price on the day of issuance, with a five-year term. For commercial transactions whose value is determined and agreed to by both parties exceeding $1,000,000 (“Qualifying Transaction”), the Company shall issue to MPR Consultant a warrant to purchase common stock in the amount of 6,250 shares. For each successive Qualifying Transaction of at least $1,000,000, the MPR Consultant shall be issued 3,750 shares up to a maximum cumulative award of 62,500 shares in warrant form in total.

Further, the Company will pay a 4% commission on the revenue received on the sale of Company algal product to one or more entities identified and cultivated by the MPR Consultant, and on the revenue received from licensing the Company’s intellectual property to such entities identified and cultivated by the MPR Consultant, for a period of three (3) years from the effective date of a qualifying transaction. The Agreement also calls for a $5,000 payment upon signing and monthly payments of $5,000 once a Qualifying Transaction, the sale of an algal product or revenue from a licensing transaction occurs. As of June 30, 2021, a commercial transaction has not closed, and the warrants have not yet been issued and no commissions have been paid.

 

On June 11, 2021 the MPR Consultant and the Company signed a termination letter for the MPR Agreement. The Company agreed to pay the MPR Consultant $83,000 and business expenses of roughly $10,000 to terminate the MPR Agreement in full satisfaction of services performed through the termination date.

 

On February 15, 2021, the Company signed a consulting agreement with CorProminence, LLC (dba COREir) to provide us with investor relations and public relations services. The COREir agreement includes a provision to issue to COREir on the four (4) month anniversary of the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is practically possible, 10,000 authorized restricted shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of the Company, of which 5,000 shares shall vest immediately upon receipt, 2,500 shall vest on the eight (8) month anniversary of the contract Effective Date and 2,500 shares shall vest on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the effective date of the COREir agreement. In addition, the agreement requires the Company to pay COREir $15,000 per month, plus out of pocket expenses, for their consulting services.

Stock Issuances

 

On June 2, 2021, the Company completed its planned public offering of common stock shares and common stock warrants. Two of the Company’s board of directors participated in the offering; Chris Maggiore purchased 100,000 units, and Alison Cornell purchased 15,000 units. No other related parties participated in the offering.

Stock Issuances

 

On July 1, 2021, our underwriter Maxim Group informed the Company that it would be partially exercising its overallotment option to purchase additional shares under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement between the parties. Maxim purchased 150,000 shares of additional common stock of the company at a price of $4.99 pursuant to the underwriting agreement. This option was only for common shares and was not for Units comprising a share of common stock and a warrant for one share of common stock. The Company collected approximately $740,000 in net proceeds from the transaction.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

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

 

Overview:

 

We are a research and development company operating in both the biotech and agtech sectors, with an intellectual property portfolio comprised of proprietary algal and bacterial strains, biologically active molecules and complexes, production techniques, cultivation techniques and patented or patent-pending inventions. We are creating novel drug candidates, food additives and functional ingredients designed to boost immune health in humans and animals.

 

Biotech – ZIVO Product Candidates

 

ZIVO has developed bioactive compounds derived from its proprietary algal culture, targeting human and animal diseases, such as poultry coccidiosis, bovine mastitis, human cholesterol, and rheumatoid arthritis. As part of its strategy, ZIVO will continue to seek strategic partners for late stage development, regulatory preparation and commercialization of its products in key global markets. ZIVO’s patent-pending immune modulator may create a new class of therapeutics or immune products for humans and animals.

Agtech – ZIVO’s Algal Biomass

 

ZIVO’s algal biomass is currently produced in Arizona, India and Peru. ZIVO’s algal biomass contains Vitamin A, protein, iron, important fatty acids, non-starch polysaccharides and other micronutrients that position the product as a viable functional food ingredient and nutritional enhancement for human and animal use. The Company currently has contracts with NutriQuest, Grekin Laboratories, and others for the sale of its algal biomass. ZIVO’s patented, proprietary algal bioproducts are aimed at rapidly growing global demand for plant-based immune & gut health. Sustainable, non-GMO functional food, feed and beverage ingredients represent novel advances in phytogenics and eubiotics.

Poultry Gut Health: ZIVO has conducted multiple poultry clinical trials to develop and refine a treatment for coccidiosis, a condition that inflames the digestive tracts of poultry, currently treated with various antibiotics, antimicrobials and chemicals.

 

 

 

 

·

Bovine Mastitis: ZIVO is developing a treatment for bovine mastitis derived from its proprietary algal culture and the bioactive agents contained within.

 

 

 

 

·

Canine Joint Health: Studies have indicated the potential of a chondroprotective property when our lead compound fraction was introduced into ex vivo canine joint tissues.

 

 

 

 

·

Human Immune Modulation: Early human immune cell in vitro and in vivo studies have indicated that one of the isolated and characterized biologically active molecules in the Company’s portfolio may serve as an immune modulator. ZIVO is conducting optimization of the immune modulating molecular complex for human and animal therapeutics and regulated immune products.

 

 

·

Agtech:

 

 

·

Human Food Ingredient: ZIVO algal biomass was GRAS affirmed in late 2018 and is therefore available and suitable for human consumption as an ingredient in foods and beverages.

 

 

 

 

·

Joint/Exertion Recovery: Previous animal studies involving ZIVO’s algal biomass supported some early evidence that ZIVO’s algal biomass may have potential health benefits in animals, but further testing and validation is required to make specific structure/function claims for human sports nutrition applications, if any, per regulatory requirements.

 

 

 

 

·

Poultry Feed: ZIVO anticipates that following commercialization, dried ZIVO algal biomass would be mixed directly into poultry feed at an estimated ratio of 1kg to 1000kg at the feed mill and may be fed continuously from hatch to harvest, or at certain time periods in the grow cycle.

 

 

 

 

·

Aquaculture: A third party aquafeed laboratory has indicated to ZIVO that early research yielded positive results regarding the suitability of ZIVO’s algal biomass for the aquafeed market.

Net cash used in operating activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, our operating activities used $3,100,368 in cash, an increase of $1,977,550 from the comparable prior period. The approximate $2 million increase in cash used by operating activities was primarily attributable to the following (all of which are approximated): an increase in non-cash option expense of $1.3 million that was more than fully offset by an increase in net loss of $350,000, a reduction in accounts payable of $755,000, lowered deferred revenue of $940,000, and lower levels of non-cash stock issued in exchange for services of $1.2 million.

  

Net cash used by investing activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, there were no investing activities.

  

Net cash provided by financing activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, our financing activities generated $13,865,770, an increase of approximately $13 million from the comparable prior period. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was due to the Company June 2, 2021,  public offering which netted the Company roughly $12.2 million of cash, and higher proceeds of approximately $1.5 million from the direct sales of common stock; these increases were partially offset by lower cash received from the lower proceeds from the exercise of warrants for cash of $580,000, lower sales of warrants for common stock of $70,000 and lower proceeds from notes payable of $110,000.

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

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

 

As of August 10, 2021, we had a cash balance of approximately $ 11,025,696. We have incurred significant net losses since inception. We have, since inception, consistently incurred negative cash flow from operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred negative cash flows from operations of $3,100,368. June 30, 2021, we had a working capital surplus of $7,419,643 and a stockholders’ surplus of $7,332,972. Although, since January 1, 2021, we received funding of $12.2 million from the proceeds of the June 2021 Offering and $1.5 million from the direct sale of stock, we have a need for additional capital to enable the Company to achieve its strategic objectives.

 

Historical Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2021, our principal source of liquidity consisted of cash deposits of $10,903,264.  We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future until and unless we generate an adequate level of income from commercial sales and licensing to cover expenses.

  

Our source of cash, outside of product revenues, to date has been proceeds from the issuances of notes with warrants, common stock with and without warrants and loans, the terms of which are further described below. See also “—Funding Requirements and Outlook” below.

 

Between January 1, 2020, and June 1, 2021, we entered into direct Subscription Agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which we, in private placements, issued and sold an aggregate of 289,208 shares of the Company’s common stock for gross proceeds in the amount of $2,666,235. Additionally, we raised a net amount of $12,181,602 from the sale of 2,760,000 common shares of stock and warrants to purchase 3,174,000 shares of common stock.

 

Participation Agreements

 

From April 13, 2020, through June 30, 2021, the Company entered into twenty-one License Co-Development Participation Agreements (the “Participation Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (“Participants”) for an aggregate of $2,985,000. The Participation Agreements provide for the issuance of warrants to such Participants, and allows the Participants to participate in the fees (the “Fees”) from licensing or selling bioactive ingredients or molecules derived from ZIVO’s algae cultures. Specifically, ZIVO has agreed to provide to the Participants a 44.78% “Revenue Share” of all license fees generated by ZIVO from any licensee.

 

The Participation Agreements allow the Company the option to buy back the right, title and interest in the Revenue Share for an amount equal to the amount funded plus a forty percent (40%) premium, if the option is exercised less than 18 months following execution, and for either forty (40%) or fifty percent (50%) if the option is exercised more than 18 months following execution. Pursuant to the terms of fifteen of the Participation Agreements, the Company may not exercise its option until it has paid the Participants a revenue share equal to a minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the amount such Participant’s total payment amount. Pursuant to the terms of the one of the Participation Agreements, the Company may not exercise its option until it has paid the Participant a revenue share equal to a minimum of one hundred forty percent (140%) of the amount such Participant’s total payment amount. Four of the Participation Agreements have no minimum threshold payment. Once this minimum threshold is met, the Company may exercise its option by delivering written notice to a Participant of its intent to exercise the option, along with repayment terms of the amount funded, which may be paid, in the Company’s sole discretion, in one lump sum or in four (4) equal quarterly payments. If the Company does not make such quarterly payments timely for any quarter, then the Company shall pay the prorate Revenue Share amount, retroactive on the entire remaining balance owed, that would have been earned during such quarter until the default payments have been made and the payment schedule is no longer in default.

Cash Exercise of Warrants

 

From January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, the Company received gross proceeds from the cash exercise of outstanding warrants for common stock in the amount of $850,400.

 

Unsecured Loans

 

From January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, the Company received gross proceeds of $312,200 in unsecured loans. As of June 30, 2021, $185,200 principal and accrued interest remained outstanding under such loans.

 

Funding Requirements and Outlook

 

At June 30, 2021, we had $10,903,265 in cash. We estimate that we will require approximately $10,000,000 in cash over the next 12 months in order to fund our normal operations and to fund our research and development initiatives. Based on this cash requirement, we have a near term need for additional funding.

 

COVID-19 STATEMENT

 

The Company is carefully monitoring the effects the COVID-19 global pandemic is having on its operations. The COVID-19 pandemic and other outbreaks have resulted in and may continue to result in delays in or the suspension of product development activities, regulatory work streams, research and development activities and other important commercial functions. The Company is also dependent upon third parties for the production and growth of our proprietary algae strains. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the Company has experienced, and may continue to experience additional disruptions that could severely impact the business and planned trials, including:

 

 

·

diversion of contract research organization (“CRO”) resources away from the conduct of studies, including the diversion of available test sites supporting the conduct of clinical trials;

 

 

 

 

·

changes in local regulations as part of a response to the COVID-19 which may require changes to the way in which trials are conducted and may result in unexpected costs; and

 

 

 

 

·

delays in necessary interactions with academic researchers at universities, life science research labs, ethics committees and other important agencies and contractors due to limitations in employee resources or forced furlough of government employees.

  

Further, prolonged government disruptions, global pandemics and other natural disasters or geopolitical actions, including related to the COVID-19 pandemic, could affect the Company’s ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue our operations. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the expectation was that there would be forward moment with the production of our algal biomass, validation and purification. However, these were temporarily suspended and/or delayed, and many continue in diminished capacity.

 

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

 

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

 

Off-Balance Sheet arrangements

 

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

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

 

As of June 30, 2021, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are effective in enabling us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings within the required time period.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

 

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

Expenses associated with underwriting our offering

 

 

None of the foregoing transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering. We believe the offers, sales and issuances of the above securities were exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of securities to the recipients did not involve a public offering, or in reliance on Rule 701 because the transactions were pursuant to compensatory benefit plans or contracts relating to compensation as provided under such rule. The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates issued in these transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about Zivo. The sales of these securities were made without any general solicitation or advertising.
