UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS (Continued)

 

Supplemental Disclosure of Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities:

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020:

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, $100,000 of 11% Convertible Notes, as well as $36,225 in related accrued interest were converted at $.10 per share into 1,362,247 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, a principal shareholder and related party assigned warrants to purchase 3,750,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to third party investors and such warrants were exercised in the first quarter of 2020 at $.10 per share resulting in the issuance of 3,750,000 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $375,000. The Company considered the warrants to be contributed capital from a majority shareholder and recorded equity related finance charges. The warrants were valued at $453,441 using the Black Scholes pricing model relying on the following assumptions: volatilities ranging from 128.20% to 142.46%; annual rate of dividends 0%; discount rates ranging from 0.66% to 1.65%.

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019:

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, $464,929 of Due to Related Party was converted at $.10 per share into 4,649,291 shares of the Company’s common stock.

ZIVO BIOSCIENCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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. These consolidated financial statements are condensed, and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2019 consolidated audited financial statements and Notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2020.

 

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, or any other period.

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $2,542,978 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. In addition, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $9,148,014 and a stockholders’ deficit of $9,148,014 at March 31, 2020. These factors continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company received proceeds of $401,000 from the issuance of common stock and exercise of common stock warrants and $46,000 in loans from related parties. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zivo Bioscience, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Health Enhancement Corporation, HEPI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Wellmetrix, LLC (fka WellMetris, LLC), and Zivo Biologic, Inc. 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 amount 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 March 31, 2020, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consist of furniture, office equipment, and leasehold improvements, and are carried at cost less allowances for depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is 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.

ZIVO BIOSCIENCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

The Company follows authoritative guidance for accounting for financing costs (as amended) as it relates to convertible debt issuance costs. These costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the debt period or until redemption of the convertible debentures. Debt Issuance Costs are reported on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of the related notes. Amortization of debt issuance costs amounted to $-0- and $1,174,772 and are included in Interest Expense and Interest Expense – Related Parties on the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019 there were no unamortized Debt Issuance costs included in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheets as presented in these financial statements.

 

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 three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $20,000 and $-0- of revenue, respectively.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, no shipping and handling costs were incurred.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company's research and development costs consist of internal costs and external clinical study expenses. These consist of salaries, fees, charges, and related expenses incurred in the conduct of clinical studies conducted with Company products by independent outside contractors. Research and development costs were approximately $1,576,000 and $366,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. 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 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.

ZIVO BIOSCIENCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, options and warrants were granted to employees and consultants of the Company. As a result of these grants, the Company recorded compensation expense of $1,196,222 and $24,512 for these periods, respectively.

 

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

 

 

 

Three Months Ended

March 31,

 

 

2020

 

2019

Expected volatility

 

163.68% to 184.19%

 

180.46%

0%

Expected term

 

5 to 10 years

 

5 years

Risk free rate

 

0.79% to 1.45%

 

2.53%

 

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 warrants and conversions of debentures. Potentially dilutive securities as of March 31, 2020, consisted of 73,836,601 common shares from convertible debentures and related accrued interest and 227,944,339 common shares from outstanding options and warrants. Potentially dilutive securities as of March 31, 2019, consisted of 237,650,674 common shares from convertible debentures and related accrued interest and 191,803,751 common shares from outstanding warrants. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 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 three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

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, from time to time, 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. Historically the Company has had no 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 both 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.

On December 2, 2011, the Company and HEP Investments, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (the “Lender”), entered into the following documents, effective as of December 1, 2011, as amended through May 16, 2018: (i) a Loan Agreement under which the Lender has agreed to advance up to $20,000,000 to the Company, subject to certain conditions, (ii) a Convertible Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $20,000,000 (“Note”) (of which a total of $18,470,640 has been funded, with a total of $14,380,298 converted into 143,702,981 shares of common stock, leaving a balance advanced of $4,090,342 as of March 31, 2020), (iii) a Security Agreement, under which the Company granted the Lender a security interest in all of its assets, (iv) issue the Lender warrants to purchase 1,666,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.12 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 the Lender in connection with the Loan transaction, in each case subject to completion of funding of the full $2,000,000 called for by the Loan Agreement, and (vi) an Intellectual Property security agreement under which the Company and its subsidiaries granted the Lender a security interest in all their respective intellectual properties, including patents, in order to secure their respective obligations to the Lender under the Note and related documents. In addition, the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Note. The Company has also made certain agreements with the Lender which shall remain in effect as long as 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 the Lender. Two representatives of the Lender will have the right to attend Board of Director meetings as non-voting observers.

 

On March 29, 2019, the Company and the Lender entered into a “Debt Extension Agreement” whereby the Lender extended the maturity date of the Note to June 30, 2019. The Lender 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.”

 

As of March 31, 2020, the Company has not made the required annual interest payments and principal payments to the Lender. As the Company has not received a notice of default, pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Company does not currently consider itself in default. Were the Company to default, additional interest would accrue at a rate of 16% per annum.

 

Based on the above, as of March 31, 2020, the total shares of common stock, if the Lender converted the complete $4,090,342 convertible debt, including related accrued interest of $1,634,247, would be 57,245,895 shares, not including any future interest charges which may be converted into common stock.

 

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 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 the Lender 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 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, $.10 warrants equal to 15% of the number of common shares for which the debt is convertible into at $.10 per share. The New Lenders Notes are convertible into the Company’s restricted common stock at $.10 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 3,642,800 shares of the Company’s common stock (at $.10 per share). On May 8, 2019, one of the New Lenders bought the note of another New Lender.

 

On January 15, 2020, two New Lenders converted $100,000 of the debt and $36,225 of accrued interest into 1,362,246 shares of the Company’s common stock (at $.10 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 Note.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT (continued)

 

As of March 31, 2020, the Company has not made the required annual interest payments to three (3) New Lenders and is in default. As the Company has not received notices of default, pursuant to the terms of the Notes, we do not currently consider ourselves in default to the three (3) remaining investors. Were the Company to be considered in default, additional interest would accrue at a rate of 16% per annum.

 

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 March 31, 2020, 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.”

Employment Agreement

 

On November 29, 2019, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Andrew Dahl, Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“Mr. Dahl’s Employment Agreement” or the “Agreement”). Under the terms of Mr. Dahl’s Employment Agreement, Mr. Dahl will serve as chief executive officer of the Company for three years, with successive automatic renewals for one year terms, unless either party terminates the Agreement on at least sixty days’ notice prior to the expiration of the then current term of Mr. Dahl’s Employment Agreement. Mr. Dahl will receive an annual base salary, commencing on June 1, 2019, of $440,000 (“Base Salary”), of which $7,500 per month will be deferred until either of the following events occur: (i) within five (5) years after the Effective Date, the Company enters into a term sheet to receive at least $25,000,000 in equity or other form of investment or debt on terms satisfactory to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) including funding at closing on such terms of at least $10 million; or (ii) within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date that the Company receives revenue of at least $10 million. The Company has accrued $75,000 of the deferred salary as of March 31, 2020, reflected in accrued expenses on the Balance Sheet. The Base Salary shall be subject to annual review and increase (but not decrease) by the Board during the Employment Term with minimum annual increases of 4% over the previous year’s Base Salary.

 

Mr. Dahl is entitled to a Revenue Bonus (as defined in the Agreement) equal to 2% of the Company’s revenue contribution in accordance with a formula as detailed in the Agreement. No Revenue Bonus is payable in any year where there is an Operating Net Loss (as defined in the Agreement). For the 2020 fiscal year (January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020) (“Year One”), the Company shall pay Mr. Dahl a bonus equal to 50% of his Base Salary if the Company achieves revenues for Year One which are (w) at least $500,000; and (x) greater than that for the 12-month period immediately preceding Year One. In addition, for 2021 fiscal year (January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021) (“Year Two”), the Company shall pay Mr. Dahl a bonus equal to 50% of the Base Salary if the Company achieves revenues for Year Two which are (y) at least $500,000; and (z) greater than that for Year One.

 

Mr. Dahl was awarded a non-qualified option to purchase 28 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to the greater of $0.10 per share and the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2019 Omnibus Long-term Incentive Plan).

 

Mr. Dahl will be entitled to non-qualified performance-based options having an exercise price equal to the greater of $.10 per share and the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2019 Omnibus Long-term Incentive Plan), upon the attainment of specified milestones as follows: (i) Non-qualified option to purchase 1,000,000 common shares upon identification of bioactive agents in the Company product and filing of a patent with respect thereto; (ii) Non-qualified option to purchase 1,500,000 common shares upon entering into a contract under which the Company receives at least $500,000 in cash payments; (iii) Non-qualified option to purchase 1,500,000 common shares upon the Company entering into a co-development agreement with a research company to develop medicinal or pharmaceutical applications (where the partner provides at least $2M in cash or in-kind outlays); (iv) Non-qualified option to purchase 1,500,000 common shares upon the Company entering into a co-development agreement for nutraceutical or dietary supplement applications (where the partner provides at least $2M in cash or in-kind outlays); and (v) Non-qualified option to purchase 1,500,000 common shares upon the Company entering into a pharmaceutical development agreement.

 

As it relates to the Company‘s wholly-owned subsidiary, Wellmetrix, LLC (“Wellmetrix”), if and when at least $2 million in equity capital is raised from a third party and invested in Wellmetrix in an arms-length transaction, Mr. Dahl shall be granted a warrant to purchase an equity interest in Wellmetrix that is equal to the equity interest in Wellmetrix owned by the Company at the time of the first tranche of any such capital raise (the “Wellmetrix Warrant”). The Wellmetrix Warrant shall be fully vested as of the date it is granted and shall expire on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the grant date. Once granted, the Wellmetrix 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 Wellmetrix Warrant shall be equal to the fair market value of the interest in Wellmetrix implied by the pricing of the first tranche of any such capital raise.

 

Mr. Dahl’s Employment Agreement provides that if a Change of Control (as defined in the Agreement) occurs and Mr. Dahl is not offered substantially equivalent employment with the successor corporation or Mr. Dahl’s employment is terminated without Cause (as defined in the Agreement) during the three month period prior to the Change of Control or the 24-month period following the Change of Control, 100% of Mr. Dahl’s unvested options will be fully. Mr. Dahl’s Employment Agreement also provides for severance payments of, amongst other things, 300% of base salary and 2x the amount of the Revenue Bonus in such event.

The Company issued a non-qualified option to purchase 28 million shares of the Company according to the 2019 Incentive Plan at an exercise price of $.10 with a term of 10 years (these options were valued at $2,497,161 using the Black Scholes pricing model relying on the following assumptions: volatility 164.20%; annual rate of dividends 0%; discount rate 1.84%).

 

Supply Chain Consulting Agreement

 

On February 27, 2019, the Company entered into a Supply Chain Consulting Agreement with a consultant (“Consultant”) (see Note 8 – Stockholders’ Deficiency). In May 2019, the Company issued a supplemental warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.08 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, 2,000,000 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 nineteen million (19,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. As of March 31, 2020, 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 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share at its discretion. As of March 31, 2020, such warrant has not been issued.

 

Marketing / Public Relations Agreement

 

On December 27, 2019, the Company entered into a Marketing / Public Relations Agreement (“Agreement”) with a consultant (“Consultant”).  The Agreement provides that the 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 Agreement calls for the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 5,000,000 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 Consultant a warrant to purchase common stock in the amount of  500,000 shares. For each successive Qualifying Transaction of at least $1,000,000, the Consultant shall be issued 300,000 shares up to a maximum cumulative award of 5,000,000 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 Consultant, and on the revenue received from licensing the Company’s intellectual property to such entities identified and cultivated by 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 March 31, 2020, a commercial transaction has not closed, and the warrants have not yet been issued and no commissions have been paid.

 

Legal Contingencies

 

We may become a party to litigation in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, there are no legal matters involving us that would have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operation or cash flows.

Loan Payable - Related Party

 

From April 1, 2020 through the date of this filing, HEP Investments LLC funded an additional $6,000. This amount was recorded as Loan Payable, Related Party.

 

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 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 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 eight-week 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 75% 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 eight-week 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements contained in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to statements regarding:

 

our ability to raise the funds we need to continue our operations;  

our goal to generate revenues and become profitable; 

regulation of our product; 

market acceptance of our product and derivatives thereof;  

the results of current and future testing of our product;  

the anticipated performance and benefits of our product;  

the ability to generate licensing fees; and 

our financial condition or results of operations. 

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “would”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “projects”, “predicts”, “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward- looking statements. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Except as otherwise required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained in this report to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any of our forward-looking statements are based. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

 

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:

 

For ZIVO, we have put in place a business model in which we would derive future income from licensing and selling natural bioactive ingredients that may be derived from or are initially based on the algae cultures. We expect that these planned new products will likely be sold to much larger, better-financed animal, food, dietary supplement and medical food manufacturers. The anticipated income streams are to be generated from a) royalties and advances for licensed natural bioactive ingredients, and b) a toll on bulk sales of such ingredients. These bulk ingredients will likely be made by contracted ingredient manufacturers and then sold by us to animal food, dietary supplement and medical food processors and/or name-brand marketers. Further, we expect to license our bioactive molecules as lead compounds or templates for synthetic variants intended for therapeutic applications.

For Wellmetrix, we are developing, with the intention to manufacture, market, and sell tests, that we believe will allow people to optimize their health and identify future health risks. We plan to develop and commercialize such tests in three phases:

 

In phase one (“Phase One”) or, alternately named Gen 1.0, we plan to develop and commercialize a series of tests, which are intended to measure indicators of good health and optimal metabolic function (collectively, the “Phase One Test”). The Phase One Test is being designed to measure biomarkers related to oxidative stress, inflammation, and antioxidant status to establish a metabolic assessment from which intervention can commence, and from which metabolic syndrome can be inferred. A patent that covers this particular combination of biomarkers was issued December 25, 2018.  

 

In phase two (“Phase Two”) or alternately named Gen 1.5, we plan to develop and commercialize a testing technology focused on the positive or negative metabolic effects of metabolizing fat and muscle efficiency due to changes in diet, exertion, hydration and dietary supplements in a self-administered format that integrates with smartphone operating systems.  

 

In phase three (“Phase Three”) or alternately named Gen 2.0, we plan to develop and commercialize additional tests intended to provide a more complete metabolic profile for an individual utilizing the metabolites present in urine. The Company believes the Gen 2.0 tests, in aggregate, will allow identification of healthy versus unhealthy bodily processes in real-time. This technology can also be applied to livestock and companion animals. As capital funding becomes available, the Company will move forward with finalizing its transition cow syndrome test, for which a provisional patent application has already been filed.  

 

The Wellmetrix technology also incorporates sophisticated software to analyze, report, record and manage wellness and health data for large groups such as large employers, pension funds, accountable care organizations, state Medicaid agencies and their actuarial consultants, underwriters, re-insurers and wellness consultants. The software also contains tools to conduct meta-analysis of baseline health benchmarks and monitor the progress of pre-clinical intervention programs within large groups.

 

Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Net Sales

 

ZIVO had no sales during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

For Wellmetrix, we had $20,000 and $-0- of service revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Welletrix service revenue related to a study design for a pre-clinical trial.

 

Cost of Sales

 

We had no costs of sales for either ZIVO or Wellmetrix during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Selling Expenses

 

The Company had no selling expenses for either ZIVO or Wellmetrix during for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses were $693,573 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $309,469 for the comparable prior period. The approximate $385,000 increase in general and administrative expense during 2020 is due the following: an increase of $378,000 in salary expense, of which $297,000 was due to a stock option issued to the CFO, a non-cash expense, an increase in insurance expense of $13,000, an increase in rent expense of $10,000, offset by a decrease in travel expense of $14,000 and a decrease in office expense $1,000 and a decrease in public communication expenses of $1,000.

 

Professional and Consulting Expenses.

 

Professional and consulting expenses were $156,449 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $292,322 for the comparable prior period. The approximate $136,000 decrease in professional and consulting expense during 2020 is due primarily to the following: an increase in accounting fees of $13,000 offset by decrease in the following: legal fees of $51,000, services relating to an executive search firm of $44,000, consulting fees of $15,000, investment banking firm fees of $14,000, OTC listing fees of $12,000, annual meeting fees of $12,000 and director fees of $1,000.


23


 

 

Research and Development Expenses.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred $1,576,100 on research and development expenses, as compared to $366,061 for the comparable period in 2019.

 

Of these expenses, approximately $1,494,000 and $395,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are costs associated with internal and external research relating to Zivo. The increase of approximately $1,129,000 in research and development expenses was the result of the following: options valued at $899,000 (a non-cash charge) were awarded to our Vice President, Research & Development and Director, Research & Development and an increase of $230,000 in research and development spending. Subject to the availability of funding, our research and development costs will grow as we work to complete the research in the development of natural bioactive compounds for use as dietary supplements and food ingredients, as well as biologics for medicinal and pharmaceutical applications in humans and animals. The Company’s scientific efforts are focused on the metabolic aspects of oxidation and inflammation, with a parallel program to validate and license products for healthy immune response. We expect external research and development to increase further in 2020 as we pursue additional external trials, subject to the availability of sufficient funding, which we do not currently have.

 

With respect to our Wellmetrix, LLC subsidiary, we incurred approximately $82,000 and $1,000 in research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The R&D effort to date has centered on optimizing dry chemistry, developing lower-cost alternatives for the proprietary analyzer device, negotiating and collaborating with offshore manufacturers and assembling the FDA pre-submission package for product classification and approval. The increase of $81,000 from the prior period is due to prioritization of Wellmetrix research.

 

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 would suffer a total loss of your investment in our company.

 

As of May 11, 2020, we had a cash balance of approximately $425,000. We have incurred significant net losses since inception. We have, since inception, consistently incurred negative cash flow from operations. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we incurred negative cash flows from operations of $783,068. As of March 31, 2020, we had a working capital deficiency of $9,148,014 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $9,148,014. Although we recently received funding of a loan of $121,700 from the Paycheck Protection Program, $6,000 of loans from related parties, $204,400 from sale of shares of common stock and $650,000 from Co-Development Participation Agreements, we have a near term need for substantial additional capital.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, our operating activities used $783,068 in cash, an increase of $206,834 from the comparable prior period. The approximate $207,000 increase in cash used by operating activities was primarily attributable to the following (all of which are approximated): a $514,000 decrease in net loss offset by a decrease of $343,000 in cash expense and a decrease in non-cash expenses of $378,000. The $343,000 increase in cash expense was due to the following: an increase of accounts receivable of $20,000, an increase of prepaid expenses of $49,000, a decrease of accrued liabilities of $335,000 (mainly composed of the decrease in accrued interest) offset by an increase in accounts payable of $71,000.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no investing activities.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, our financing generated $447,000, an increase of approximately $255,000 from the comparable prior period. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was due to an increase of $226,000 from proceeds from the exercise of common stock warrants, an increase of $25,000 from the issuance of common stock and an increase of $4,000 from proceeds of loans payable from a related party.

 

Although we raised a limited amount of capital during 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, we continue to experience a shortage of capital, which is materially and adversely affecting our ability to run our business. As noted above, we have been largely dependent upon external sources for funding. We have in the past had difficulty in raising capital from external sources. We are still heavily reliant upon external financing for the continuation of our research and development program.

 

We estimate that we will require approximately $6,000,000 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. Historically, we have had substantial difficulty raising funds from external sources. If we are unable to raise the required capital, we will be forced to curtail our business operations, including our research and development activities.

COVID-19 STATEMENT

 

The Company is carefully monitoring the effects the COVID-19 global pandemic is having on its operations. Currently, the main potential effect is the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to raising capital. Based on the nature of our operations, employees are able to work remotely with access to teleconferencing and video conferencing. The research partners utilized by the Company are currently providing services as requested, although some University researchers have limited availability as some of their campuses have closed down, the expectation is that they will reopen sometime in May and June 2020. However, the Company cannot make any assurances the research partners will open as expected and perform at the levels as required until the COVID-19 situation is resolved. Other contract research organizations have remained open and accessible, although some resources have delayed response effectiveness.

 

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.

 

Seasonality

 

Based on our business model, anticipated income streams are to be generated from the following:

 

a)For ZIVO: (i) royalties and advances for licensed natural bioactive ingredients, isolated natural compounds and synthetic variants thereof, and (ii) bulk sales of such ingredients;  

 

b)For Wellmetrix: the (i) sale of wellness tests and data services related to medical records management and (ii) analysis/compilation of data gathered on behalf of payers. For insurers, the primary selling season is November through April of any given year.  

 

We do not anticipate that these will be affected by seasonality.

 

Staffing

 

We have conducted all of our activities since inception with a minimum level of qualified staff. We currently do not expect a significant increase in staff.

 

Off-Balance Sheet arrangements

 

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

 

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

 

Management’s Report on 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 Financial Officer, 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 March 31, 2020, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive/principal financial officer, 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/principal financial officer concluded that 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.
