Item 1.01.                        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

The Acquisition

On October 19, 2009, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Diamond Information Institute, Inc., a publically held New Jersey corporation (“DII”). In connection with the closing of this transaction, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of DII, which resulted in a parent-subsidiary relationship (the "Acquisition").

In addition, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement:

§  
The shareholders of all of the capital stock of DII issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition exchanged their shares into 2,585,175 shares of our common stock.

§  
As a result, immediately following the Acquisition, there were 7,618,625 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

§  
Our board of directors was reconstituted to consist of Berge Abajian who, prior to the Acquisition, was the sole director of DII.
 
§  
DII provided customary representations and warranties and closing conditions, including approval of the Acquisition by its shareholders.

As of the date of the Exchange Agreement and currently, there are no material relationships between us or any of our affiliates and DII, other than in respect of the Exchange Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Exchange Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Stock Purchase Agreement

Immediately following the closing of the Acquisition, in a separate transaction, our former Chief Executive Officer and sole director, Mr. Owen Gibson, agreed to purchase our former mining business in exchange for the cancellation and return all of his common stock into treasury. Specifically, in the stock purchase agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”), Mr. Gibson and certain of our shareholders retired 3,310,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for our prior business of mineral exploration through our subsidiary, Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc., an Alberta corporation.

The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01 .                        Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

As used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, all references to the “Company,” “Bergio International,” “we,” “our” and “us” or similar terms, refer to Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc., including its predecessors and its subsidiaries, except where the context makes clear that the reference is only to DII. Information about the Company and the principal terms of the Acquisition are set forth below.

Acquisition

The Acquisition . On October 19, 2009, in accordance with the Exchange Agreement dated October 19, 2009 we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of DII, which resulted in a parent-subsidiary relationship. In exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of DII, the shareholders of DII received 2,585,175 shares of our common stock which represented approximately 60% of our outstanding common stock following the Acquisition and related transactions described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report.

At the time of the Acquisition, neither we nor DII had any options to purchase shares of capital stock outstanding. Additionally, at the time of the Acquisition, neither we nor DII had any warrants to purchase shares of capital stock outstanding.

There were 5,033,450 shares of our common stock outstanding before giving effect to the stock issuances in the Acquisition and the cancellation of 3,310,000 shares by Mr. Owen Gibson and certain other shareholders. Following these events, there were 4,308,625 shares outstanding, including:

Shares                                                 Held by:
2,585,175                                           DII Shareholders
1,723,450                                           Existing shareholders

The shares of our common stock issued to the former shareholders of DII’s capital stock in connection with the Acquisition were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), but were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated under that section, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.

Prior to the Acquisition, there were no material relationships between us and DII, or any of their respective affiliates, directors or officers, or any associates of their respective officers or directors, other than as disclosed in this Current Report.

General Changes Resulting from the Acquisition . We have sold our interest in our prior business of mineral exploration and any assets that relate to that business to Mr. Owen Gibson and certain of our prior shareholders in exchange for the cancellation of 3,310,000 shares of our common stock. We intend to carry on the business of DII, as our primary line of business. We have relocated our principal executive offices to 12 Daniel Road EastFairfield, New Jersey 07004 and our telephone number is (973) 227-3230.

Pre-Acquisition stockholders of DII will be required to exchange their existing DII stock certificates for our certificates. Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), which is sponsored by FINRA. The OTCBB is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current "bids" and "asks", as well as volume information. As of October 19, 2009, our shares were quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “ABMX.OB”

The Acquisition and its related transactions were approved by the holders of a requisite number of shares of DII’s common stock by shareholder meeting. Under New Jersey law, DII’s stockholders who did not consent to the Acquisition may demand in writing, pursuant to the exercise of their appraisal rights, that DII pay them the fair value of their shares. Determination of fair value is based on all relevant factors, except for any appreciation or depreciation resulting from the anticipation or accomplishment of the Acquisition.   One Hundred percent of the stockholders of DII approved the Acquisition and thus no appraisal rights may be exercised under New Jersey law.

Changes to the Board of Directors . Owen Gibson resigned as our sole officer and director. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Berge Abajian who prior to the Acquisition was the sole director of DII, Inc., was appointed as our sole officer and director.

All directors hold office for one-year terms until the election and qualification of their successors. Officers are elected by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board.

Accounting Treatment. The Acquisition is being accounted for as a purchase of the assets of DII. Consequently, the assets and liabilities of DII will be restated to their fair values. Our consolidated financial statements after completion of the Acquisition will include the assets and liabilities of both companies, our historical operations and the operations of DII from the closing date of the Acquisition.  Except as described herein, no arrangements or understandings exist among present or former controlling stockholders with respect to the election of members of our board of directors and, to our knowledge, no other arrangements exist that might result in a future change of control of the Company. We will continue to be a “small business issuer,” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), following the Acquisition.

Description of Our Company

Company Overview

We were incorporated as “Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc.” on July 24, 2007, in the State of Delaware for the purpose of engaging in mineral properties. On October 19, 2009, we entered into the Exchange Agreement with DII, whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of DII.  We intend to change our name in the near future to Bergio International, Inc. ("Bergio International").

In consequence of entering into the Exchange Agreement, we have determined to pursue the business plan of DII. We are now in the business of designing and manufacturing upscale jewelry.

Our Business

We are entering into our 20th year of operations and concentrate on boutique, upscale jewelry stores.  We currently sell our jewelry to approximately 150 independent jewelry retailers across the United States and have spent over $3 million in branding the Bergio name through tradeshows, trade advertising, national advertising and billboard advertising since launching the line in 1995.  We have manufacturing control over our line as a result of having a manufacturing facility in New Jersey as well as subcontracts with facilities in Italy and Bangkok.

 
It is our intention to establish Bergio International as a holding company for the purpose of acquiring established jewelry design and manufacturing firms who possess branded product lines.  Branded product lines are products and/or collections whereby the jewelry manufacturers have established their products within the industry through advertising in consumer and trade magazines as well as possibly obtaining federally registered trademarks of their products and collections.  This is in line with our strategy and belief that a brand name can create an association with innovation, design and quality which helps add value to the individual products as well as facilitate the introduction of new products.

We intend to acquire design and manufacturing firms throughout the United States and Europe.  If and when we pursue any potential acquisition candidates, we intend to target the top 10% of the world’s jewelry manufactures that have already created an identity and brand in the jewelry industry.  We intend to locate potential candidates through our relationships in the industry and expect to structure the acquisition through the payment of cash, which will most likely be provided from third party financing, as well as our common stock but not cash generated from our operations.  In the event we obtain financing from third parties for any potential acquisitions, Bergio International may agree to issue our common stock in exchange for the capital received.  However, as of the date of this Current Report, we do not have any binding agreements with any potential acquisition candidates or arrangements with any third parties for financing.

Principal Products and Services

We have historically sold our products directly to distributors, retailers and other wholesalers, who then in turn sell their products to consumers through retail stores.  Independent retail jewelers that offer the current Bergio line are not under formal contracts and most sell competing products.

Our products consist of a wide range of unique styles and designs made from precious metals such as gold, platinum and Karat gold, as well as other precious stones.  We continuously innovate and change our designs based upon consumer trends and as a result of new designs being created we believe we are able to differentiate ourselves and strengthen our brands.  We sell our products to our customers at price points that reflect the market price of the base material plus a markup reflecting our design fee and processing fees.

Each year, most jewelry manufacturers bring new products to market. We believe that we are a trendsetter in jewelry manufacturing.  As a result, we come out with a variety of products throughout the year that we believe have commercial potential to meet what we feel are new trends within the industry.  The “Bergio” designs consist of upscale jewelry that includes white

diamonds, yellow diamonds, pearls, and colored stones, in 18K gold, platinum, and palladium.  We currently design and produce approximately 50 to 75 product styles.  Prices for our products range from $400 to $200,000.

Our product range is divided into three fashion lines: (i)18K gold line, (ii) a bridal line, and (iii) a couture and/or one of kind pieces. Our officer and director, Mr. Abajian, consults regularly with the design teams of his Italian manufacturers, which usually results in a constant continuation of new products and sometimes entire lines being developed.  Typically, new products come on line approximately every 3 months and most recently, Bergio International introduced its latest collection “Power in Pink”, which launched in April 2008 year and consists of approximately 35 pieces made with pink gold and diamonds.  Depending on the timing and styling at any point in time, our products and collections would fall in one of the various categories shown below:

1.  
Whimsical. The whimsical line includes charms, crosses and other “add-on” pieces.

2.  
Middle. The proposed middle line will consist of fashion jewelry utilizing colored stones, diamonds and pearls applied to a variety of applications such as necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets and rings. The metals that we intend to use for the Middle line include platinum, 18K white & yellow gold.

3.  
Couture. The Couture line is our most luxurious line, and consists of one of a kind pieces, new showcase products each year, and predominantly utilizes diamonds, platinum and other precious metals and stones of the highest grade and quality available.

4.  
Bridal. The Bridal line is our core business. We attempt to stay on the forefront of trends and designs in the bridal market with the latest in wedding sets, engagement rings and wedding bands for both men and women.

Each year, we attempt to expand and/or enhance these lines, while constantly seeking to identify trends that we believe exist in the market for new styles or types of merchandise.  Design and innovation are the primary focus of our manufacturing and we are less concerned with the supply and capacity of raw materials.  Over the last 19 years, Mr. Abajian has been the primary influencer over the Bergio collections.  Mr. Abajian with his contacts, which are located mostly overseas, regularly meet to discuss, conceptualize and develop Bergio’s various products and collections.  When necessary, additional suppliers and design teams can be brought in as the market needs dictate. Management intends to maintain a diverse line of jewelry to mitigate concentration of sales and continuously expand our market reach.

Distribution Methods and Marketing

We continue to devote our efforts towards brand development and utilize marketing concepts in an attempt to enhance the marketability of our products.  During the past several years, we have carried out our brand development strategy based on our product quality and design excellence, which is highlighted through our sales personnel.  We have established significant networks and relationships with retailers which allow our products to be promoted and sold nationwide.  We maintain a broad base of customers and concentrate on retailers that sell fashionable and high end jewelry.  We also work with our customers to adjust product strategies based on the

customer’s feedback to try and decrease the likelihood of overstocked or undesired products.

We intend to further promote our products and brand by participating in trade shows and various exhibitions, consumer and trade advertisements, billboard advertisements, as well as make specialty appearances in retail stores carrying our products.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers

Most of the inventory and raw materials we purchase occurs through our manufacturers located in Europe.  The inventory that we directly maintain is based on recent sales and revenues of our products but ultimately is at the discretion of Mr. Abajian and his experience in the industry.  Our inventories are commodities that can be incorporated into future products or can be sold on the open market.  Additionally, we perform physical inventory inspections on a quarterly basis to assess upcoming styling needs and consider the current pricing in metals and stones needed for our products.

We acquire all raw gemstones, precious metals and other raw materials used for manufacturing our products on the open market.  We are not constrained in our purchasing by any contracts with any suppliers and acquire raw material based upon, among other things, availability and price on the open wholesale market.

Approximately 80% of our product line is contracted to manufacturing suppliers in Italy, who then procure the raw materials in accordance with the specifications and designs submitted by Bergio International.  However, the general supply of precious metals and stones used by us can be reasonably forecast even though the prices will fluctuate often.  Any price differentials in the precious metals and stones will typically be passed on to the customer.

For the raw materials not procured by contracted manufacturers, we have approximately 5 suppliers that compete for our business, with our largest gold suppliers being Carrera Casting and Metro Gold.  Most of our precious stones are purchased from C. Mahandra & Sons and EFD.  We do not have any formal agreements with any of our suppliers but have established an ongoing relationship with each of our suppliers.

Customers

During the year ended December 31, 2008, Shane & Co. accounted for approximately 9.5% of our annual sales.  Previously, we had one customer, Western Stones and Metals, during the year ended December 31, 2007, that accounted for approximately 9% of its annual sales.  During the next twelve months, it is anticipated that Shane & Co. may account for more than 5% of our annual sales based on recent orders placed and our current projections.  We are not dependent on any specific customers as a result of having very few customers representing 5% or more of our annual sales.

Intellectual Property

Bergio is a federally registered trademarked name that we own.  Since the first trademark of “Bergio” was filed all advertising, marketing, trade shows and overall presentation of the our product to the public has prominently displayed this trademark.  As additional lines are designed and added to our products, we may trademark new names to distinguish the particular products and jewelry lines.

Personnel

At December 31, 2008, we had 3 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees.  Of our current employees, 1 is sales and marketing personnel, 2 are manufacturing and 2 hold administrative and executive positions.  No personnel are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.  Our relationship with our employees is believed to be good.  We intend to use the services of independent consultants and contractors when possible or until we are able to hire personnel in house.

Competition and Market Overview

The jewelry design and manufacturer’s industry is extremely competitive and has low barriers to entry.  We compete with other jewelry design and manufacturers of upscale jewelry to the retail jewelry stores.  There are over 4,000 jewelry design and manufacturer’s companies, several of which have greater experience, brand name recognition and financial resources than Bergio International.

Our management believes that the jewelry industry competes in the global marketplace and therefore must be adaptable to ensure a competitive measure.  Recently the U.S. economy has encountered a slowdown and Bergio International anticipates the U.S. economy will most likely remain weak at least through the end of 2009.  Consumer spending for discretionary goods such as jewelry is sensitive to changes in consumer confidence and ultimately consumer confidence is affected by general business considerations in the U.S. economy.  Consumer spending for discretionary spending generally declines during times of falling consumer confidence, which may affect our retail sale of our products.  U.S. consumer confidence reflected these slowing conditions throughout 2008.  The impact of the slowing U.S. economy is not usually known until the second quarter of any given year in our industry thus it is hard to estimate the actual impact the slowing economy will have on our business.

According to the United States Department of Commerce outlook in 2008, the United States apparent consumption of precious metal jewelry was expected to grow over the new few years at a slow but steady rate, before picking up considerably in 2010.  A stronger economy, more spending by the baby boomers and young professionals with an overall trend toward luxury products will lead to future growth.  From 2007 to 2011, apparent consumption of precious metal jewelry is expected to increase by an average of 3.9% per year, totaling $14.0 billion in 2011.  Therefore, we intend to make strong efforts to maintain our brand in the industry through our focus on the innovation and design of our products as well as being able to consolidate and increase cost efficiency when possible through acquisitions.

Environmental Regulation and Compliance

The United States environmental laws do not materially impact our manufacturing operations as a result of having a large majority of our jewelry manufacturing being conducted overseas.  
 
 
 
 
9

 
 
 
 
In fact, approximately 80% of our manufacturing is contracted to quality suppliers in the vicinity of Valenza, Italy with the remaining 20% of setting and finishing work being conducted in Bergio International’s Fairfield, New Jersey facility.  The setting and finishing work done in our New Jersey facility involves the use of precision lasers, which use soap and water rather than soldering.  Also a standard polishing compound is used for the finishing work but it does not have a material impact on our cost and effect of compliance with environmental laws.

Government Regulation

Currently, we are subject to all of the government regulations that regulate businesses generally such as compliance with regulatory requirements of federal, state, and local agencies and authorities, including regulations concerning workplace safety, labor relations, and disadvantaged businesses.   In addition, our operations are affected by federal and state laws relating to marketing practices in the retail jewelry industry. We are subject to the jurisdiction of federal, various state and other taxing authorities.  From time to time, these taxing authorities review or audit our business.

Description of Property

Currently, we have a 1,730 square feet design and manufacturing facility located in Fairfield, New Jersey, which is currently being leased until August 31, 2010.  We also rent office space at this facility.  We pay approximately $2,200 per month.  Since a majority of the manufacturing is conducted by sub-contractors in Italy, the current space is presently adequate for the performance of all company functions, which includes minimal manufacturing, design and administrative needs.

Additionally, we anticipate opening additional offices and/or design facilities in other locations as we continue to implement our business plan throughout the United States, when and if any acquisitions are completed in the future.  At the current time, our expansion plans are in the preliminary stages with no formal negotiations being conducted.  Most likely no expansions will take place until additional revenues can be achieved or additional capital can be raised to help offset the costs associated with any expansion.

The following discussion reflects our plan of operation. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of DII for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the interim period ended June 30, 2009. This discussion contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding our expected financial position, business and financing plans. These statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K, particularly under the headings “Forward Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”

Overview

Since 1995 we have been engaged in the design and manufacture of upscale jewelry through its trade name of “Bergio” and in 2002 launched its “Bergio Bridal Collection”.  We sell to approximately 150 independent jewelry retailers across the United States and have incurred a significant amount of capital resources in creating brand recognition in the jewelry industry.

Overview of Our Current Operations

Our products consist of a wide range of unique styles and designs made from precious metals such as, gold, platinum, and Karat gold, as well as diamonds and other precious stones.  We have approximately 50 to 75 product styles in our inventory, with prices ranging from $400 to $200,000.  Additionally, we have manufacturing control over our line as a result of having a manufacturing facility in New Jersey as well as subcontracts with facilities in Italy and Bangkok.

It is our intention to establish the Company as a holding company for the purpose of acquiring established jewelry design and manufacturing firms who possess branded product lines.  Branded product lines are products and/or collections whereby the jewelry manufacturers have established their products within the industry through advertising in consumer and trade magazines as well as possibly obtaining federally registered trademarks of their products and collections.  This is in line with our strategy and belief that a brand name can create an association with innovation, design and quality which helps add value to the individual products as well as facilitate the introduction of new products.

 Our management believes that the jewelry industry competes in the global marketplace and therefore must be adaptable to ensure a competitive measure.  Recently the U.S. economy has encountered a slowdown and we anticipate the U.S. economy will most likely remain weak at least through all of 2009.  Consumer spending for discretionary goods such as jewelry is sensitive to changes in consumer confidence and ultimately consumer confidence is affected by general business considerations in the U.S. economy.  Consumer spending for discretionary spending generally decline during times of falling consumer confidence, which may affect our retail sale of our products.  U.S. consumer confidence reflected these slowing conditions during the last quarter of 2007 and has been carried forward throughout the year of 2008.  Therefore, we intend to make strong efforts to maintain our brand in the industry through our focus on the innovation and design of its products as well as being able to consolidate and increase cost efficiency when possible through acquisitions.

Sales

Sales for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $1,385,620 compared to $1,296,585 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  This resulted in an increase of $89,035 or 7% from the comparable period of 2008 to 2007.  We experienced a moderate increase in sales during the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the comparable period of 2007.

Typically, revenues experience significant seasonal volatility in the jewelry industry.  The first two quarters of any given year typically represent approximately 15%-25% of total year revenues, based on historic results.  The holiday buying season during the last two quarters of every year typically account for the remainder of annual sales.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $847,976 a decrease of $378,585, or 31%, from $1,226,561 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Our cost of sales were significantly higher for the year ended December 31, 2007 due to a write-down of approximately $284,000 of inventory to the lower of cost or market value, which we experienced during the six months ended June 30, 2007.  The inventory write-down was a result of the refinement of cost and quantity of on hand data attributable to the conversion of the Company’s books and records to new accounting software in the beginning of 2007.  We did not record any inventory write-down for the year ended December 31, 2008 and believe the cost of sales expenses are more reflective of what we expect our cost of sales to be going forward.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we experienced a gross profit as a percentage of revenue of 39%, compared to a gross profit as a percentage of revenue of 5% for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Our increased gross profit during the year of 2008 was a result of selling lower commodity priced products at higher margins.  Also, the inventory write-down mentioned as part of cost of sales added approximately $284,000 to our 2007 cost of sales.  Without the inventory write-down in 2007, our pro-forma gross profit percent in 2007 would have been approximately 27%.

Selling Expenses

Total selling expenses were $368,664 for the year ended December 31, 2008, which was approximately a 6% decrease from $392,793 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Selling expenses include advertising, trade show expenses and selling commissions.  The decrease in selling expenses during the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007 was a result of decreased advertising and travel expenses under the Company’s cost saving programs implemented in 2008.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $1,262,623 for the year ended December 31, 2008 versus $1,095,549 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2008 is due primarily to an increase in professional fees due to being a publicly-traded company.  Included within professional fees in 2008 is a noncash charge related to stock-based compensation of $450,000. Also included in 2008 general and administrative expenses is share-based compensation of $317,500. Total noncash stock-based compensation was $781,500 in 2008 compared to $181,000 in 2007. The $600,500 increase in stock-based compensation was primarily offset by decreases in payroll and payroll taxes from staff reductions.

Loss from Operations

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we had a loss from operations totaling $1,093,643 which was a decrease from $1,418,318 for the same period in 2007, or approximately 23%.  The primary contributing factor of our lower loss from operations is higher gross margins on slightly higher sales.

Other Expense / Income

Other Expense / Income is comprised primarily of interest incurred on bank lines of credit, corporate credit cards, term loans and capital leases in connection with operations related to manufacturing and indirect operating expenses offset by miscellaneous income.  We attribute the increase in our other expense / income during the year ended December 31, 2008 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2007 as a result of a reduction of interest expense of $17,603 offset by recognizing sales of gold scrap in 2007. Interest expense in 2008 primarily decreased due to lower interest rates on credit lines and credit cards.  There were no sales of gold scrap occurring in 2008.

Income Tax (Benefit) Provision

The Company reported an income tax benefit of $89,133 for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to an income tax benefit of $331,642 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  In 2008, management recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

Net Loss

The Company incurred a net loss of $1,106,856 for the year ended December 31, 2008 versus a net loss of $1,171,980 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  This was a decrease of $65,124, or 6%, in our net loss for the comparable period.  Although we experienced higher general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008, we were able to decrease our net loss when compared to same period a year ago as a result of decreasing our cost of sales and selling expenses.  Our gross margins in 2008 have significantly increased as a result of us selling lower commodity priced products at higher margins.  Additionally, in 2007 gross margins were lower due to an inventory adjustment of approximately $284,000.   Overall our net loss is primarily attributable to a significant increase in costs associated with the non-cash stock compensation.

Sales

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $263,581 compared to $362,719 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  This resulted in a decrease of $99,138 or 27% from the comparable period of 2009 to 2008.  Sales were lower due to the continuing tough economic environment. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $454,307 compared to $642,883 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This resulted in a decrease of $188,576 or 29% from the comparable period of 2009 to 2008. The six month decrease is primarily due to the increase in sales discounts during the first quarter of 2009 as discussed below.

Due to the unfavorable economic environment we increased our sales discounts to our customers during the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Aggregate sales discounts in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 totaled approximately $75,000 and $14,000.  During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 our sales discounts amounted to $3,000 and $0, respectively. The increased sales discounts in 2009 were to move product and increase our liquidity.  We anticipate sales discounts and gross profits to return to historical levels as soon as the economic environment begins to turnaround and sustain growth

Typically, revenues experience significant seasonal volatility in the jewelry industry.  The first two quarters of any given year typically represent approximately 15%-25% of total year revenues, based on historic results.  The holiday buying season during the last two quarters of every year typically account for the remainder of annual sales.


Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $181,422 or 69% of sales compared to $167,016 or 46% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $361,694 or 80% of sales compared to $302,129 or 47% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Gross Profit:

Goss profit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $82,159 or 31% of sales compared to $195,703 or 54% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $92,613 or 20.4% of sales compared to $340,754 or 53% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  Our decreased gross profit margin during the year of 2009 was principally due to the increased sales discounts given to our customers in the first quarter of 2009. On a pro forma basis our gross profit margins for the six months ended June 30, 2009 would be approximately 30% versus 53% without the additional sales discounts granted our customers in 2009 versus 2008.

This resulted in a decrease of $561,524 from the comparable period of 2009 to 2008. The decrease in general and administrative expenses in 2009 is due primarily to (i) a decrease in non-cash charges related to Share-Based compensation of approximately $464,000 and (ii) the implementation of certain cost containment efforts implemented in 2009 in conjunction with lower sales.

17

 
 
 
Other Income (Expense) is comprised primarily of interest incurred on bank lines of credit, corporate credit cards, term loans and capital leases in connection with operations related to manufacturing and indirect operating expenses offset by miscellaneous income.  We attribute the decrease in our other (expense) / income during the six months ended June 30, 2009 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of a reduction in interest expense of approximately $10,000. Interest expense in 2009 primarily decreased due to lower interest rates on lines of credit and credit cards.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit)

We reported an income tax provision of $1,560 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to an income tax benefit of $106,898 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  We reported an income tax provision of $2,080 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to an income tax benefit of $168,446 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. In 2009, we chose to record a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets during the fourth quarter of 2008 as we believe it is not more likely than not, they will not be utilized.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $117,319 compared to $124,797 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

As of June 30, 2009, we had a cash overdraft of $26,925, compared to a cash overdraft of $7,345 at December 31, 2008.  It is anticipated that we will need to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities from financial institutions to meet our long-term liquidity and capital requirements, which include strategic growth through mergers and acquisitions.  There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital or financing in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all or on a timely basis.

Accounts receivable at June 30, 2009 was $329,549 and $713,194 at December 31, 2008, representing a decrease of $383,645 or 54%.  We typically offer our customers 60, 90 or 120 day payment terms on sales, depending upon the product mix purchased.  When setting terms with our customers, we also consider the term of the relationship with individual customers and management’s assessed credit risk of the respective customer, and may at management’s discretion, increase or decrease payment terms based on those considerations.

Inventory at June 30, 2009 was $1,458,836 and $1,326,989 at December 31, 2008. Our management seeks to maintain a very consistent inventory level that it believes is commensurate with current market conditions and manufacturing requirements related to anticipated sales volume.  We historically have not have an inventory reserve for slow moving or obsolete products due to the nature of our inventory of precious metals and stones.  This allows us to resell or recast these materials into new products and/or designs as the market changes.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses at June 30, 2009 were $434,144 compared to $446,892 at December 31, 2008, which represents a 3% decrease or $12,748 movement.

Bank Lines of Credit and Notes Payable

Our indebtedness is comprised of various bank credit lines, term loans, capital leases and credit cards intended to provide capital for the ongoing manufacturing of our jewelry line, in advance of receipt of the payment from our retail distributors.  As of June 30, 2009, we had two outstanding term loans.  One of the loans is a $300,000 term loan with JPMorgan Chase, which is payable in monthly installments and matures in May 2011.  The note bears an annual interest rate of 7.60% and as of June 30, 2009 there was an outstanding balance of $127,518.  We also have a $100,000 term loan with Leaf Financial Corporation, which is payable in monthly installments and matures in December 2013.  The note bears an annual interest rate of 9.47% and as of June 30, 2009 there was an outstanding balance of $91,359.  Both of these notes are collateralized by our assets as well as a personal guarantee by our CEO, Berge Abajian.

In addition to the notes payable, we utilize bank lines of credit to support working capital needs.  As of June 30, 2009, we had two lines of credit.  One bank line of credit is for $700,000 with Columbia Bank and requires minimum monthly payment of interest only.  The interest is calculated at the bank’s prime rate plus 0.75%.  As of June 30, 2009, we had an outstanding balance of $699,999 at an effective annual interest rate of 4.00%.  Additionally, we have a bank line of credit of $55,000 with JPMorgan Chase Bank, which also requires a monthly payment of interest only.  The interest rate is calculated at the bank’s prime rate plus 0.75%.  As of June 30, 2009, we had an outstanding balance of $44,844 at an effective annual interest rate of 4.00%.  Each credit line renews annually and is collateralized by our assets as well as a personal guarantee by our CEO, Berge Abajian.  The Company is in negotiations with the bank to renew the terms of the credit line and is waiting on funding from other sources .
 
 
 
 
19

 
 

 
In addition to the bank lines of credit and term loans, we have a number of various unsecured credit cards.  These credit cards require minimal monthly payments of interest only and as of June 30, 2009 have interest rates ranging from 3.99% to 24.90%.  As of June 30, 2009, we have outstanding balances of $178,015.

Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2008, we have incurred net losses of approximately $319,000  and $486,000  respectively. We have funded our working capital needs primarily from revenues, a private placement equity offering and advances from our CEO and principal stockholder. Our plan is to acquire design and manufacturing companies throughout the United States and Europe. If and when we pursue any potential business acquisitions, we intend to target the top 10% of the world’s jewelry manufacturers that have already created an identity and brand in the jewelry business. We plan to fund these potential business acquisitions from additional equity and/or debt financing, and joint venture partnerships.  However, we have no binding agreements or understandings with any potential acquisition targets. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital in the amount or, on terms acceptable to us, in the required timeframe.

A critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence is to efficiently manage the production of our jewelry lines and successfully develop new lines through our Company or through possible acquisitions and/or mergers. Our ability to obtain capital through additional equity and/or debt financing, and joint venture partnerships will also be important to our expansion plans. In the event we experience any significant problems assimilating acquired assets into our operations or cannot obtain the necessary capital to pursue our strategic plan, we may have to reduce the planned future growth of our operations.

Over the next twelve months we believe we have the required working capital needs to fund our current operations through revenues.  However, any expansion or future business acquisitions will require us to raise capital through an equity offering.

Summary of product and research and development that we will perform for the term of our plan.

We are not anticipating significant research and development expenditures in the near future.

Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment.

We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment; as such items are not required by us at this time.

Significant changes in the number of employees.

As previously mentioned, we currently have 3 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees.  We do not anticipate a significant change in the number of full time employees over the next 12 months.  None of our employees are subject to any collective bargaining agreements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is deemed material.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period.

Accounts Receivable.   Management periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from customers to determine if accounts receivable balances are impaired based on factors affecting the collectability of those balances.  Management has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $86,000 at June 30, 2009 and $80,000 at December 31, 2008.

Long-Lived Assets.   In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived tangible assets subject to depreciation or amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value as determined by an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows.  As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in their impairment analyses may not be achieved.

Revenue Recognition. The Company’s management recognizes revenue when realized or realizable and earned.  In connection with revenue recorded, the Company establishes a sales returns and allowances reserve for anticipated merchandise to be returned.  The estimated percentage of sales to be returned is based on the Company’s historical experience of returned merchandise. Also, management calculates an estimated gross profit margin on returned merchandise deriving a cost for the anticipated returned merchandise also based on the Company’s historical operations.

The Company’s sole revenue producing activity as a manufacturer and distributor of upscale jewelry is affected by movement in fashion trends and customer desire for new designs, varying economic conditions affecting consumer spending and changing product demand by retailers affecting their desired inventory levels.

Therefore, management’s estimation process for merchandise returns can result in actual amounts differing from those estimates.  This estimation process is susceptible to variation and uncertainty due to the challenges faced by management to comprehensively discern all conditions affecting future merchandise returns whether prompted by fashion, the economy or customer relationships.  Ultimately, management believes historical factors provide the best indicator of future conditions based on the Company’s responsiveness to changes in fashion trends, the cyclical nature of the economy in conjunction with the number of years in business and consistency and longevity of its customer mix.

RISK FACTORS

The following are certain identifiable risk factors for Bergio International’s business operations.  Risk factors related to our former business operations have been excluded but can be found in prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Risks Relating with Our Business and Marketplace
 
Because we will need additional capital in the future to finance our operations or any future acquisitions, the inability to raise capital may result in our inability to fund our working capital requirements and ultimately harm our operational results.
 
We have and expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, we had sales of 263,581 and a net loss of $117,319.  For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we had sales of $1,386,000 and $1,297,000, respectively and net loss of $1,107,000 and $1,172,000, respectively. While management believes that our financial policies have been prudent, we will be reliant on future potential equity and/or debt raises to expand our current business and assist in any future acquisitions, if and when those opportunities occur.
 
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in continuing to meet our cash requirements from existing operations, or in raising a sufficient amount of additional capital in future finance offerings.  Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited.
 
A decline in discretionary consumer spending may adversely affect our industry, our operations, and ultimately our profitability.
 
Luxury products, such as fine jewelry, are discretionary purchases for consumers.  Any reduction in consumer discretionary spending or disposable income may affect the jewelry industry more significantly than other industries.  Many economic factors outside of our control could affect consumer discretionary spending, including the financial markets, consumer credit availability, prevailing interest rates, energy costs, employment levels, salary levels, and tax rates.  Any reduction in discretionary consumer spending could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition.
 
Because we are highly dependent on our key executive officers for the success of our business plan and may be dependent on the efforts and relationships of the principals of future acquisitions and mergers, if any of these individuals become unable to continue in their role, our business could be adversely affected.
 
 
 
 
22

 
 
 
We believe our success will depend, to a significant extent, on the efforts and abilities of Berge Abajian, our CEO.  If we lost Mr. Abajian, we would be forced to expend significant time and money in the pursuit of a replacement, which would result in both a delay in the implementation of our business plan and the diversion of limited working capital. We can give you no assurance that we could find a satisfactory replacement for Mr. Abajian at all, or on terms that are not unduly expensive or burdensome.
 
If we grow and implement our business plan, we will need to add managerial talent to support our business plan.  There is no guarantee that we will be successful in adding such managerial talent.  These professionals are regularly recruited by other companies and may choose to change companies.  Given our relatively small size compared to some of our competitors, the performance of our business may be more adversely affected than our competitors would be if we lose well-performing employees and are unable to attract new ones.
 
Because we intend to acquire businesses and such activity involves a number of risks, our core business may suffer.
 
We may consider acquisitions of assets or other business. Any acquisition involves a number of risks that could fail to meet our expectations and adversely affect our profitability. For example:
 
§  
The acquired assets or business may not achieve expected results;
 
§  
We may incur substantial, unanticipated costs, delays or other operational or financial problems when integrating the acquired assets;
 
§  
We may not be able to retain key personnel of an acquired business;
 
§  
Our management’s attention may be diverted; or
 
§  
Our management may not be able to manage the acquired assets or combined entity effectively or to make acquisitions and grow our business internally at the same time.
 
If these problems arise we may not realize the expected benefits of an acquisition.
 
Because the jewelry industry in general is affected by fluctuations in the prices of precious metals and precious and semi-precious stones, we could experience increased operating costs that will affect our bottom line.
 
The availability and prices of gold, diamonds, and other precious metals and precious and semi-precious stones may be influenced by cartels, political instability in exporting countries and inflation.  Shortages of these materials or sharp changes in their prices could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.  A significant change in prices of key commodities, including gold, could adversely affect our business or reduce operating margins and impact consumer demand if retail prices increased significantly, even though we historically incorporate any increases in the purchase of raw materials to our consumers.  Additionally, a significant disruption in our supply of gold or other commodities could decrease the production and shipping levels of our products, which may materially increase our operating costs and ultimately affect our profit margins.

Because we depend on our ability to identify and respond to fashion trends, if we misjudge these trends, our ability to maintain and gain market share will be effected.
 
The jewelry industry is subject to rapidly changing fashion trends and shifting consumer demands.  Accordingly, our success may depend on the priority that our target customers place on fashion and our ability to anticipate, identify, and capitalize upon emerging fashion trends.  If we misjudges fashion trends or are unable to adjust our products in a timely manner, our net sales may decline or fail to meet expectations and any excess inventory may be sold at lower prices.
 
Our ability to maintain or increase our revenues could be harmed if we are unable to strengthen and maintain our brand image.
 
We have spent significant amounts in branding our Bergio and Bergio Bridal lines.  We believe that primary factors in determining customer buying decisions, especially in the jewelry industry, are determined by price, confidence in the merchandise and quality associated with a brand.  The ability to differentiate products from competitors of Diamond has been a factor in attracting consumers.  However, if Diamond’s ability to promote its brand fails to garner brand recognition, its ability to generate revenues may suffer.  If Diamond fails to differentiate its products, its ability to sell its products wholesale will be adversely affected.  These factors could result in lower selling prices and sales volumes, which could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.
 
We maintain a relatively large inventory of our raw materials and if this inventory is lost due to theft, our results of operations would be negatively impacted.
 
We purchase large volumes of precious metals and store significant quantities of raw materials and jewelry products at our facility in New Jersey.  Although we have an insurance policy with Lloyd’s of London, if we were to encounter significant inventory losses due to third party or employee theft from our facility which required us to implement additional security measures, this would increase our operating costs.  Also such losses of inventory could exceed the limits of, or be subject to an exclusion from, coverage under our current insurance policy.  Claims filed by us under our insurance policies could lead to increases in the insurance premiums payable by us or possible termination of coverage under the relevant policy.
 
If we were to experience substantial defaults by our customers on accounts receivable, this could have a material adverse affect on our liquidity and results of operations.
 
A significant portion of our working capital consists of accounts receivable from customers.  If customers responsible for a large amount of accounts receivable were to become insolvent or otherwise unable to pay for our products, or to make payments in a timely manner, our liquidity and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.  An economic or industry downturn could materially affect the ability to collect these accounts receivable, which could then result in longer payment cycles, increased collections costs and defaults in excess of management’s expectations.  A significant deterioration in the ability to collect on accounts receivable could affect our cash flow and working capital position.

Risks Relating to our Common Stock
 
If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
 
Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board.  More specifically, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has enacted Rule 6530, which determines eligibility of issuers quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board by requiring an issuer to be current in its filings with the Commission.  Pursuant to Rule 6530(e), if we file our reports late with the Commission three times our securities will be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board for failure to timely file.  As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
 
Because our common stock could be deemed a low-priced “Penny” stock, it would be cumbersome for brokers and dealers to trade in our common stock, making the market for our common stock less liquid and negatively affect the price of our stock.
 
We may be subject to certain provisions of the Securities Exchange act of 1934, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” as defined in Rule 3a51-1.  A penny stock is generally defined to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  If our stock is deemed to be a penny stock, trading will be subject to additional sales practice requirements of broker-dealers.  These require a broker-dealer to:
 
§  
Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;
 
§  
Disclose certain price information about the stock;
 
§  
Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;
 
§  
Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and
 
§  
In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.
 
Consequently, penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock.  Also, prospective investors may not want to get involved with the additional administrative requirements, which may have a material adverse effect on the trading of our shares.
 
 
 
25

 
 
 
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
 
Because our current chief executive officer and sole director, Mr. Berge Abajian, owns a significant percentage of our company, he will be able to exercise significant influence over our company, despite your ability to vote.
 
Berge Abajian, our chief executive officer and sole director, beneficially owns a majority of our common stock.  Accordingly, Mr. Abajian will be able to determine the composition of our board of directors, will retain the effective voting power to approve all matters requiring shareholder approval, will prevail in matters requiring shareholder approval, including, in particular the election and removal of directors, and will continue to have significant influence over our business.  As a result of his ownership and position in the Company, Mr. Abajian is able to influence all matters requiring shareholder action, including significant corporate transactions.  In addition, sales of significant amount of shares held by Mr. Abajian, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Di r ectors and Executiv e Officers

The following table sets forth information regarding the members of our board of directors and our executive officers and other significant employees. All of our officers and directors were appointed on the effective date of the Acquisition. All of our directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and their successors are duly elected and qualify. Executive officers serve at the request of the board of directors.

Name
Age
Office(s) Held
Berge Abajian
48
President, Chief Executive Officer and Director

Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our current executive officers and directors.

Berge Abajian comes from a family background in jewelry manufacturing.  The Abajian family started manufacturing jewelry in the 1930’s and Berge entered into the industry as a manufacturer in 1980.    From 1980 to 1983, Mr. Abajian served as the Secretary and Treasurer of Pyramid Jewelry, a jewelry manufacturing company.  Mr. Abajian established operations of Diamond Information Institute in 1995 and started his “Bergio” brand label over ten years ago.  Currently, Mr. Abajian is the chief executive officer, president and sole director of Diamond.  The Bergio line was one of the first to introduce yellow diamonds in jewelry and has continued to be on the cutting edge of jewelry trends.  In 2002, Mr. Abajian also began production of his Bergio Bridal Collection.  Mr. Abajian has a BS in Business Administration from Fairleigh Dickinson University and is well known and respected in the jewelry industry.  Since 2005, Mr. Abajian has served as the President of the East Coast branch of the Armenian Jewelry Association and has also served as a Board Member on MJSA (Manufacturing Jewelers and Suppliers of America), New York Jewelry Association, and the 2001-2002 Luxury Show.

Directors

We currently have one director.  Immediately prior to the effective time of the Acquisition, Owen Gibson resigned as our sole officer and director. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Berge Abajian, who prior to the Acquisition was the director of DII, was appointed as our director.

All directors hold office for one-year terms until the election and qualification of their successors. Officers are elected by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board.

There are no family relationships among our directors and executive officers.

Meetings of Our Board of Directors

Our board of directors did not hold any meetings during the most recently completed fiscal year end. Various matters were approved by consent resolution, which in each case was signed by each of the members of the Board then serving.

Committees of the Board

We do not currently have a compensation committee, executive committee, or stock plan committee.

Audit Committee

We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The entire Board of Directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the Board when performing the functions of what would generally be performed by an audit committee. The Board approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the Board reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.

 
 
 
27

 
 
 
 
Nomination Committee

Our Board of Directors does not maintain a nominating committee. As a result, no written charter governs the director nomination process. Our size and the size of our Board, at this time, do not require a separate nominating committee.

When evaluating director nominees, our directors consider the following factors:

·  
The appropriate size of our Board of Directors;
·  
Our needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of our directors;
·  
The knowledge, skills and experience of nominees, including experience in finance, administration or public service, in light of prevailing business conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed by other members of the Board;
·  
Experience in political affairs;
·  
Experience with accounting rules and practices; and
·  
The desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new Board members.

Our goal is to assemble a Board that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience. In doing so, the Board will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.

Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the Board may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in our best interests as well as our stockholders. In addition, the Board identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service or if the Board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Board then identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Current members of the Board are polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria described above. The Board may also engage in research to identify qualified individuals. To date, we have not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although we reserve the right in the future to retain a third party search firm, if necessary. The Board does not typically consider shareholder nominees because it believes that its current nomination process is sufficient to identify directors who serve our best interests.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth certain information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock following the events described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report by (1) all persons who are beneficial owners of 5% or more of our voting securities, (2) each director, (3) each executive officer, and (4) all directors and executive officers as a group. The information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person may be deemed to beneficially own any shares of capital stock as to which such person, directly or indirectly, has or shares voting power or investment power, and to beneficially own any shares of our capital stock as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days through the exercise of any stock option or other right. The percentage of beneficial ownership as to any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing (a) (i) the number of shares beneficially owned by such person plus (ii) the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days by (b) the total number of shares outstanding as of such date, plus any shares that such person has the right to acquire from us within 60 days. Including those shares in the tables does not, however, constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares. Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity named in the table has sole voting power and investment power (or shares that power with that person’s spouse) with respect to all shares of capital stock listed as owned by that person or entity.

Except as otherwise indicated, all Shares are owned directly and the percentage shown is based on 4,308,625 Shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date of the Acquisition. Addresses for all of the individuals listed in the table below are c/o Bergio International, 12 Daniel Road East Fairfield, New Jersey 07004.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

With the exception of the Acquisition and the agreements discussed herein, none of our directors or executive officers, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director, nor any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to all of our outstanding shares, nor any members of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings, and in-laws) of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction over the last two years or in any presently proposed transaction which, in either case, has or will materially affect us.

Buyers is acquiring the Shares solely for his own account and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution or public offering thereof, within the meaning of any applicable securities laws and regulations, unless such distribution or offering is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), or an exemption from such registration is available.

AS A PRECONDITION TO ANY SUCH TRANSFER, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES SHALL BE FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OPINING AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION AND/OR SUCH OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY THERETO THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT VIOLATE THE SECURITIES LAWS.

(b)            Third Party Claims .
 
(i)           If any claim or liability (a “ Third-Party Claim ”) should be asserted against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties (the “ Indemnitee ”) by a third party after the Closing for which Buyers has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 5(a), then the Indemnitee shall notify Buyers (the “ Indemnitor ”) within 20 days after the Third-Party Claim is asserted by a third party (said notification being referred to as a “ Claim Notice ”) and give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to take part in any examination of the books and records of the Indemnitee relating to such Third-Party Claim and to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and in connection therewith and to conduct any proceedings or negotiations relating thereto and necessary or appropriate to defend the Indemnitee and/or settle the Third-Party Claim. The expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of all negotiations, proceedings, contests, lawsuits or settlements with respect to any Third-Party Claim shall be borne by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor agrees to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, through counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, then the Indemnitor shall be entitled to control the conduct of such defense, and shall be responsible for any expenses of the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim so long as the Indemnitor continues such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall be responsible for paying all settlements made or judgments entered with respect to any Third-Party Claim the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnitor. Except as provided in subsection (ii) below, both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee must approve any settlement of a Third-Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnitee to timely give the Claim Notice shall not excuse Indemnitor from any indemnification liability except only to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
(ii)           If the Indemnitor shall not agree to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, or shall fail to continue such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitee may defend against such Third-Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the Indemnitee may settle such Third-Party Claim, in its sole discretion, on such terms as it may deem appropriate. The Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all settlement payments and expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim. If no settlement of such Third-Party Claim is made, then the Indemnitor shall satisfy any judgment rendered with respect to such Third-Party Claim before the Indemnitee is required to do so, and pay all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in the defense against such Third-Party Claim.
 
(c)            Non-Third-Party Claims . Upon discovery of any claim for which Buyers has an indemnification obligation under the terms of this Section 5 which does not involve a claim by a third party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Buyers of such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyers such notice within 30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice to Buyers shall not excuse Buyers from any indemnification liability except to the extent that Buyers is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.

[1] Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Business Continuity

Nature of Operations - Diamond Information Institute Inc. d/b/a Designs by Bergio [the "Company"] is engaged in the product design, manufacturing, distribution of fine jewelry throughout the United States and is headquartered from its corporate office in Fairfield, New Jersey.  Based on the nature of operations, the Company's sales cycle experiences significant seasonal volatility with the first two quarters of the year representing 15% - 25% of annual sales and the remaining two quarters representing the remaining portion of annual sales.

Basis of Presentation - Our accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 of our audited financial statements included in the Diamond Information Institute, Inc. 2008 Form 10-K.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for interim financial statement presentation and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2009 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through August 17, 2009, the date of filing of these unaudited financial statements.

Business Continuity - As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and continues to sustain cash flow deficits.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately $171,000 while, its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $153,000. Further, through the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company incurred a net loss from operations of approximately $319,000 and a cash flow deficit from current operations of approximately $21,000.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s management has instituted a cost reduction program that included a reduction in labor and payroll taxes, promotional expenses and professional services. In addition, management believes these factors, along with the issuance of additional equity offerings as a form of financing, will contribute toward achieving profitability and sustaining working capital needs. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving these objectives.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
[2] Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments . This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This FSP shall be effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not have any fair value of financial instruments to disclose.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments . This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. The FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. The FSP shall be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company currently does not have any financial assets that are other-than-temporarily impaired.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies , to address some of the application issues under SFAS 141(R). The FSP deals with the initial recognition and measurement of an asset acquired or a liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency provided the asset or liability’s fair value on the date of acquisition can be determined. When the fair value can-not be determined, the FSP requires using the guidance under SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss . This FSP was effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of this FSP has not had a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”). The provisions of SFAS 166, in part, amend the derecognition guidance in FASB Statement No. 140, eliminate the exemption from consolidation for qualifying special-purpose entities and require additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the provisions of SFAS 166 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities. The provisions of SFAS 167 significantly affect the overall consolidation analysis under FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. SFAS 167 will be effective for the Company beginning in 2010. The Company does not expect the provisions of SFAS 167 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS No. 168”). Under SFAS No. 168 the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U. S. GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities.  Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  On the effective date, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. SFAS No. 168 is effective for the Company’s interim quarterly period beginning July 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 168 to have an impact on the financial statements.

In June 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Office of the Chief Accountant and Division of Corporation Finance announced the release of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 112. This staff accounting bulletin amends or rescinds portions of the interpretive guidance included in the Staff Accounting Bulletin Series in order to make the relevant interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. Specifically, the staff is updating the Series in order to bring existing guidance into conformity with recent pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, namely, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. The statements in staff accounting bulletins are not rules or interpretations of the Commission, nor are they published as bearing the Commission's official approval. They represent interpretations and practices followed by the Division of Corporation Finance and the Office of the Chief Accountant in administering the disclosure requirements of the Federal securities laws.

[3] Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 for financial assets and liabilities as well as for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements. In accordance with FSP No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157 (FSP 157-2), for all other non-financial assets and liabilities, SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active (FSP 157-3), that clarifies the application of SFAS 157 for financial assets in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active.
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
On January 1, 2009, in accordance with FSP 157-2, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 on a prospective basis for our non-financial assets and liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. SFAS 157 requires that we determine the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy established in SFAS 157 and describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:

Level 1 inputs which include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 inputs which include observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 inputs which include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the underlying asset or liability.  Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.

The adoption of SFAS 157 had no effect on our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 as the Company has no assets or liabilities classified as financial assets or liabilities as defined in accordance with SFAS 157.

In addition, the adoption of SFAS 157 for our non-financial assets and liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis had no effect on our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Effective with the 2008 tax year, management voluntarily elected a change in its method of tax accounting to the accrual basis as required by Section 481 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC").  In management's opinion, based on provisions of the IRC, a voluntary election to the accrual basis of tax reporting should not subject the Company to tax examinations for previous years that income tax returns have been filed and prompt an uncertain tax position in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation ("FIN") No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  As a result, no contingent liability has been recorded for the anticipated change in tax reporting.  Further, the resulting tax liability from the change in tax accounting method will be reduced by operating losses previously incurred.
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
At December 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $1,482,000 of federal net operating tax loss carryforwards expiring at various dates through 2028.  The Tax Reform Act of 1986 enacted a complex set of rules which limits a company's ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards in periods following an ownership change. These rules define an ownership change as a greater than 50 percent point change in stock ownership within a defined testing period which is generally a three-year period. As a result of stock which may be issued by us from time to time and the conversion of warrants, options or the result of other changes in ownership of our outstanding stock, the Company may experience an ownership change and consequently our utilization of net operating loss carryforwards could be significantly limited.

Based upon the net losses historically incurred and, the prospective global economic conditions, management believes that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized and has provided a valuation allowance of 100% of the deferred tax asset.

[8] Stockholders' (Deficit) Equity

Articles of Incorporation Amendment and Stock Split - The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $.001 per share.  Over the course of 2007, the Company's Board of Directors ratified two forward stock splits. The first stock split, for 1.725 to 1 and the second for 10,000 to 1.

This resulted in common stock outstanding increasing from 1,000 to 17,250,000 which were all owned by the Company's founder and CEO. The per share data for all periods presented has been retroactively adjusted due to each of the stock splits.

Subsequent to the forward stock splits, the Company's founder and CEO transferred a total of 2,250,000 shares to the Company's President and an Advisory Panel member.  Upon resignation of the Company’s President and Advisory Panel Member in late 2007, the Company cancelled 2,200,000 of the shares previously issued to those individuals along with, 5,000,000 shares held by the CEO and principal stockholder.  These shares were cancelled in February 2008.

The share and per share data for all periods presented has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock splits.

[1] Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations - Diamond Information Institute Inc. d/b/a Designs by Bergio [the "Company"] is engaged in the product design, manufacturing, distribution of fine jewelry throughout the United States and is headquartered from its corporate office in Fairfield, New Jersey.  Based on the nature of operations, the Company's sales cycle experiences significant seasonal volatility with the first two quarters of the year representing 15% - 25% of annual sales and the remaining two quarters representing the remaining portion of annual sales.

Basis of Presentation and Liquidity - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. For the year ending December 31, 2008, the Company generated a net loss of approximately $1.1 million. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has funded its working capital requirements primarily through revenue earned, a private placement equity offering and periodic advances from its CEO and principal stockholder.  Management intends to fund future operations through further expansion in its marketplace as well as additional equity offerings.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining financing at the level needed for long-term operations or on terms acceptable to the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance, assuming the Company is successful in expanding commercialization of its product, realizing revenues and obtaining new equity offerings, that the Company will achieve profitability or positive operating cash flow. The Company is incurring significant losses, which give rise to questions about its ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized upon the shipment of products to customers with the price to the buyer being fixed and determinable and collectability reasonably assured.  The Company maintains a reserve for potential product returns based on historical experience.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.  The Company did not have any cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable is generated from sales of fine jewelry to retail outlets throughout the United States. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, accounts receivable were substantially comprised of balances due from retailers.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided against accounts receivable for amounts management believes may be uncollectible.  The Company determines the adequacy of this allowance by regularly reviewing the composition of its accounts receivable aging and evaluating individual customer receivables, considering the customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic circumstance.  As of December 31, 2008, an allowance for doubtful accounts of $80,407 has been provided. No allowance was deemed necessary at December 31, 2007.

Inventories - Inventory consists primarily of finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted average method and average cost is recomputed after each inventory purchase or sale.

In June 2007, the Company recorded an inventory adjustment of approximately $284,000 to more appropriately value amounts on hand at the lower of cost or market.  The inventory adjustment was prompted by the refinement of cost and quantity on hand data attributable to the conversion of the Company's books and records to new accounting software in early 2007.  Subsequent to implementation of the new accounting system, cost and quantity on hand data was refined as the Company discovered product data was not properly defined for importing into the new accounting module.  These data conversion complications were attributable to product information not established on a more disaggregated basis for proper recognition by the accounting module.  In other words, products offered with varying metal and stone qualities were not enumerated as needed, resulting in erroneous price averaging or improper quantities on hand, as product counts were not performed prior to data conversion.

As management's sophistication for use of the accounting software increased, these discrepancies were discovered and corrected through greater specification of the product type in the accounting module and revision of unit costs by comparing to original purchasing documents or physical count of on hand quantities.  These corrective efforts prompted the aforementioned inventory adjustment which is reflected in the Cost of Sales caption of the Statements of Operations.

Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivables.  The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.  The Company, from time to time, maintains balances in financial institutions beyond the insured amounts.  At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had no cash balances beyond the federally insured amounts.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the wide variety of customers and markets into which the Company's services are provided, as well as their dispersion across many different geographical areas.  As is characteristic of the Company's
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

 
[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]

business and of the jewelry industry generally, the Company extends its customers seasonal credit terms. The carrying amount of receivables approximates fair value. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and believes its credit risk exposure on accounts receivable is limited. Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded for the year ending December 31, 2008.  No allowance for doubtful accounts has been deemed necessary for year ending December 31, 2007.  The Company does not require collateral to support these financial instruments.

Property and Equipment and Depreciation - Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from five (5) to seven (7) years.

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred whereas expenditures for renewals and improvements that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized.  Upon the sale or retirement, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reported within the Statements of Operations in the period of disposal.

Long-Lived Assets - In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ["SFAS"] No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived tangible assets subject to depreciation or amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets exceed their fair value as determined by an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows.

Losses on assets held for disposal are recognized when management has approved and committed to a plan to dispose of the assets, and the assets are available for disposal.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosing the fair value of financial instruments to the extent practicable for financial instruments, which are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet.  The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.  In assessing the fair value of these financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions, which are based on estimates of market conditions and risks existing at that time.  For certain instruments, including the cash overdraft, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, it was estimated that the carrying amount approximated fair value for the majority of these instruments because of their short maturity.  The fair value of property and equipment is estimated to approximate their net book value.  The fair value of debt obligations as recorded approximates their fair values due to the variable rate of interest associated with these underlying obligations.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates - Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, in which the Company owns less than 20% or otherwise does not exercise significant influence, are stated at cost.  At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had an investment in which the Company

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]

owned less than 1% interest in an unconsolidated affiliate and therefore the investment is carried at cost.

Share-Based Compensation - The Company does not currently sponsor stock option plans or restricted stock awards plans.  However, on January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment" using the modified prospective method. SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant date fair value of those awards.

 
Under the modified prospective  method of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recognized compensation cost for all share-based payments granted after January 1, 2006, plus any awards granted to employees prior to January 1, 2006 that remain unvested at that time. Under this method of adoption, no restatement of prior periods is made.

The Company applies the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), to issuances of non-employee equity instruments at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in EITF 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services".

Advertising and Promotional Costs - Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded as part of Selling Expenses in the Statement of Operations.  The total cost for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $46,000 and $151,000, respectively.

During the year, the Company prepays costs associated with trade shows which, are recorded as Prepaid Expenses in the Balance Sheet and are charged to the Statement of Operations upon the trade shows being conducted.  At December 31, 2008 and 2007, approximately $39,000 and $49,000, respectively of prepaid trade show expenses have been recorded.

Income Taxes - The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."  Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109", which provides a financial

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]

statement recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  Under FIN 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures.  The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share - Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing earnings  available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could occur through the effect of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants and convertible securities.  At December 31, 2008 and 2007, 575,000 and 425,000 potential common shares issuable under Class A purchase warrants have not been included in the computation of diluted loss per share since the effect would be anti-dilutive.  These Class A purchase warrants may have a dilutive effect in future periods. .

[3] Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." SFAS 141(R) retains the underlying concepts of SFAS 141 in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting but SFAS 141(R) changed the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. Acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS 109 such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS 141(R) would also apply the provisions of SFAS 141(R). Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS 141(R) may have on our financial statements and believe it could have a significant impact if business combinations are consummated.  However, the effect of which is indeterminable as of December 31, 2008.
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
[3] Recently Issued Accounting Standards [Continued]

In December 2007, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51." This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with earlier adoption prohibited. This statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent's equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. It also amends certain of ARB No. 51's consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of SFAS 141(R) . This statement also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. We are currently evaluating this new statement and anticipate that the statement will not have a significant impact on the reporting of our results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements.

Effective with the 2008 tax year, management voluntarily elected a change in its method of tax accounting to the accrual basis as required by Section 481 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC").  In management's opinion, based on provisions of the IRC, a voluntary election to the accrual basis of tax reporting should not subject the Company to tax examinations for previous years that income tax returns have been filed and prompt an uncertain tax position in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation ("FIN") No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  As a result, no contingent liability has been recorded for the anticipated change in tax reporting.  Further, the resulting tax liability from the change in tax accounting method will be reduced by operating losses previously incurred.

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
[8] Income Taxes [Continued]

At December 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $1,482,000 of federal net operating tax loss carryforwards expiring at various dates through 2028.  The Tax Reform Act of 1986 enacted a complex set of rules which limits a company's ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards in periods following an ownership change. These rules define an ownership change as a greater than 50 percent point change in stock ownership within a defined testing period which is generally a three-year period. As a result of stock which may be issued by us from time to time and the conversion of warrants, options or the result of other changes in ownership of our outstanding stock, the Company may experience an ownership change and consequently our utilization of net operating loss carryforwards could be significantly limited.

Based upon the net losses historically incurred and, the prospective global economic conditions, management believes that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized and has provided a valuation allowance of 100% of the deferred tax asset.

[9] Stockholders' Equity

Articles of Incorporation Amendment and Stock Split - The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $.001 per share.  Over the course of 2007, the Company's Board of Directors ratified two forward stock splits. The first stock split, for 1.725 to 1 and the second for 10,000 to 1.

This resulted in common stock outstanding increasing from 1,000 to 17,250,000 which were all owned by the Company's founder and CEO. The per share data for all periods presented has been retroactively adjusted due to each of the stock splits.

Subsequent to the forward stock splits, the Company's founder and CEO transferred a total of 2,250,000 shares to the Company's President and an Advisory Panel member.  Upon resignation of the Company’s President and Advisory Panel Member in late 2007, the Company cancelled 2,200,000 of the shares previously issued to those individuals along with, 5,000,000 shares held by the CEO and principal stockholder.  These shares were cancelled in February 2008.

The share and per share data for all periods presented has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock splits.

Private Placement Offering - During the second quarter of 2007 , the Company conducted a private placement offering (the "Offering") of its common stock to Accredited Investors in accordance with SEC regulations.  The offering was up to 40 units at $25,000 per unit or $1,000,000 in total.  Each unit was composed of 25,000 shares of common stock and 25,000 "Class A" common stock purchase warrants to purchase additional shares at $1.50 per share.

Through the aforementioned period, the Company issued 17 units or 425,000 shares resulting in total cash proceeds of $425,000.  Through December 31, 2008, no "Class A" purchase warrants were exercised by the investors.

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
[9] Stockholders' Equity (Continued)

Debt Conversions - In April 2007, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (the "Agreement") and issued 100,000 shares of common stock at $1 per share to a vendor as full satisfaction for accounts payable previously due and future services to be rendered.  Of the total $100,000 of common stock issued, $55,000 was to satisfy previous account payable balances and $45,000 was issued as consideration for future services to be rendered and is reflected in the Deferred Compensation caption of the stockholders' equity section of the Balance Sheet, of which approximately $14,000 and $31,000, respectively was expensed in 2008 and 2007. The shares have a one year restriction from sale or offering.

In June 2007, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (the "Agreement") and issued 150,000 shares of common stock at a fair market value of $1 per share to a vendor as full satisfaction of an accounts payable balance of $150,000.  The shares have a one year restriction from sale or offering and the Agreement allows for the vendor to purchase for a period of 60 months from the date of closing of this Agreement 150,000 shares of common stock under "Class A" purchase warrants at $1.50 per share.  Through December 31, 2008, no "Class A" purchase warrants were exercised by the vendor.

Of the total 250,000 shares issued in connection with debt conversions and future services to be rendered, 205,000 shares of common stock valued at $1 per share or $205,000 were in full satisfaction of prior debts outstanding while, 45,000 shares of common stock valued at $1 or $45,000 were issued in connection with future services to be rendered.  As of December 31, 2007, approximately $14,000 of Deferred Compensation remained unamortized in connection with the 45,000 shares previously issued.  At December 31, 2008, the balance was fully amortized.

Restricted Share Issuances - During 2007, the Board of Directors ratified issuance of 50,000 restricted shares of common stock to the Company's CEO, also serving as a director, as compensation for services rendered through December 31, 2007.  The Board of Directors also ratified issuance of a total of 100,000 restricted shares of common stock to two of the Company's Advisory Panel Members as compensation for services rendered from January through December of 2007.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company valued their shares based on recent stock transaction, and recorded $150,000 of stock based compensation expense which is reflected as part of General and Administrative expenses in the Statement of Operations.

In January 2008, two Advisory Panel members and a Board of Director member received restricted common stock for services to be rendered throughout 2008.  The two Advisory Panel members received 50,000 and 100,000 shares, respectively, with a fair value of $1.00 per share or $150,000 while the Board of Director member received 50,000 shares with a fair value of $1.00 per share or $50,000.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, $200,000 was charged to the Statement of Operations as Share-based Compensation expense.

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
[9] Stockholders' Equity (Continued)

Also in January 2008, the Company issued 117,500 shares of restricted common stock with a fair value of $1.00 per share or $117,500 to employees.  Shares issued in connection with the Board of Director consent, were dispersed ratably over the first two quarters of 2008 as authorized in the consent.

Additionally, in January and February 2008, the Company sold 600 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share to individual investees.

Finally, in February 2008, certain stockholders of the Company with significant ownership, cancelled shares they owned for no consideration.  The share cancellation totaled 7,200,000 of shares previously outstanding.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued to its SEC counsel, 450,000 shares of restricted common stock with a fair value of $1.00 per share or $450,000 for services previously rendered in connection with the effective filing of Form S-1 with the SEC.

[10] Related Party Transactions

The Company receives periodic advances from its principal stockholder based upon the Company's cash flow needs.  At December 31, 2008 and 2007, $394,532 and $90,289, respectively was due to the shareholder.  Interest expense is accrued at an average annual market rate of interest which was 4.99% at December 31, 2008.  No terms for repayment have been established.  As a result, the amount is classified as a Current Liability.

In 2007, the Company hired an information technology company to provide consultation and technical support related to certain software applications and technology infrastructure.  The information technology company is also a shareholder of the Company with a total ownership interest of less than 1%.  During 2007, common stock issued to this information technology company in connection with services rendered or, to be performed in future periods totaled $100,000 or 100,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $1 per share. Of the total, $45,000 related to future services and was recorded as deferred compensation.  See “Debt Conversions” Note 9.

[11] Commitment and Contingencies

Operating Leases - The Company leases certain office and manufacturing facilities and equipment. The lease agreements, which expire at various dates through 2011, are subject, in many cases, to renewal options and provide for the payment of taxes, and operating costs, such as insurance and maintenance.  Certain leases contain escalation clauses resulting from the pass-through of increases in operating costs and property taxes.  All these leases are classified as operating leases.

Litigation - The Company, in the normal course of business, is involved in certain legal matters for which it carries insurance, subject to certain exclusions and deductibles.  As of December 31, 2008 and through the date of issuance of these financial statements, there was no asserted or unasserted litigation, claims or assessments warranting recognition and/or disclosure in the financial statements.

[12] Subsequent Events
