Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Statement reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the Company is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, its unaudited financial statements and related notes elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Summary Overview
We were incorporated on December 19, 2014 in the State of Nevada. We had revenues of $1,465,782 in the year ended December 31, 2021 and $1,276,559 in the year ended December 31, 2020. We had revenues of $573,967 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and $447,986 for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
On February 4, 2019, we acquired BergaMet NA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BergaMet”). BergaMet is a wholly-owned subsidiary through which we conduct our nutraceuticals business.

Overview
BergaMet NA, LLC
On February 4, 2019, we issued and exchanged shares of our common stock for all of the outstanding equity securities of BergaMet. BergaMet is an established company that was already generating revenues when we acquired it.
Ultimate Brain Nutrients, LLC
On April 3, 2020, we issued and exchanged shares of our common stock for all of the outstanding equity securities of UBN. UBN is a science-based company that develops unique, plant-based health technology neuro-products that provide natural brain solutions. UBN has numerous proprietary products, with four unique patent-pending formulations and two patents issued.
Going Concern
As a result of our financial condition, we have received a report from our independent registered public accounting firm for our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 that includes an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. From inception
14
(December 19, 2014) through the end of December 31, 2021, we have incurred accumulated net losses of $14,943,620. In order to continue as a going concern we must effectively balance many factors and generate more revenue so that we can fund our operations from our sales and revenues. If we are not able to do this we may not be able to continue as an operating company. At our current revenue and burn rate, we have an immediate cash need, and thus we must raise capital by issuing debt or through the sale of our stock. However, there is no assurance that our existing cash flow will be adequate to satisfy our existing operating expenses and capital requirements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we were unable to generate sufficient revenues and had negative operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of December 31, 2021 was $222,098 and as of September 30, 2022 was $73,884. Our monthly cash flow burn rate for 2021 (not including inventory purchases) was approximately $37,000 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $27,000. We have strong short and medium term cash needs. We anticipate that these needs will be satisfied through increased revenues and the issuance of debt or the sale of our securities until such time as our cash flows from operations will satisfy our cash flow needs.

Our total current assets and total assets decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily as a result of our decrease in cash of $148,214, accounts receivable of $32,585, and inventory of $91,524. Our total current and total liabilities increased by $385,407 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily because of an increase in accounts payable of $76,799, notes payable of $93,174, convertible debt of $189,000, and derivative liabilities of $246,260, offset in part by a decrease in accrued liabilities of $52,330 and notes payable to related party of $170,000. Our accumulated deficit increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 by $1,026,538 to $15,970,158.
In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.
Cash Requirements
Our cash on hand as of September 30, 2022 was $73,884. Based on our current level of revenues and monthly burn rate of approximately $27,000 per month, we will need to continue to fund operations by raising capital from the sale of our stock and debt financings.
