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 $5,648,968 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, the Company had a working capital surplus of $7,737,922 and a stockholders’ equity of $7,770,629 at September 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 nine months ended September 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 License Co-Development Participation Agreements (the “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. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company received net proceeds from the sale of an overallotment of the June 2, 2021 Offering in the amount of $673,159, and received $1,091,767 from the exercise of public warrants. 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.
