BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Bergio International, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 24, 2007 under the name Alba Mineral Exploration, Inc. On October 21, 2009, as a result of a Share Exchange Agreement, the corporate name was changed to Bergio International, Inc. Effective July 15, 2013, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to change the Companys authorized capital from 1,500,000,000 common shares to 3,000,000,000 common shares of stock. On April 3, 2014, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to reduce the par value of all shares of common stock and preferred stock from $0.001 to $0.00001 per share. On February 26, 2014, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company to 6,000,000,000 shares. Effective on October 14, 2014, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate a 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split of the Companys common stock. All share and per share data has been adjusted to reflect such stock splits and change in par value. The Company is engaged in the product design, manufacturing, distribution of fine jewelry primarily in the United States and is headquartered in Fairfield, New Jersey. The Company experiences significant seasonal volatility. The first two quarters of the year typically represent 15% - 35% of annual sales, and the remaining two quarters represent the remaining portion of annual sales.
Crown Luxe, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 5, 2014. The purpose of establishing this corporation is to operate the Companys first retail store. It is our intent to provide another area for growth by establishing a retail outlet for the Companys products. The Company opened its first retail store in Bergen County, New Jersey in the fourth quarter of 2014.
On June 1, 2015, the Company acquired a 51% interest in R.S. Fisher, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in exchange for funding the Companys operations. The minority shareholder contributed jewelry molds and inventory valued at $349,292.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2015, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include disclosures normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. The December 31, 2014 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K as of that date. Accordingly, the financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 15, 2015 (the Annual Report).
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, there have been no other material changes in the Companys significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the Companys Annual Report.

Non-controlling Interest
Non-controlling interest represents third party ownership in the net assets of our consolidated subsidiaries. For financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of our majority owned subsidiaries are consolidated with those of our own, with any third party investors interest shown as non-controlling interest.
On June 1, 2015, the Company acquired a 51% interest in R.S. Fisher, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in exchange for funding the Companys operations. The minority holder contributed jewelry molds and inventory valued at $349,292.
Note 3 - 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. Basic net loss per share equaled the diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, since the effect of shares potentially issuable upon the exercise or conversion was anti-dilutive. Equity instruments that may dilute earnings per share in the future are listed in Note 6. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and conversion of convertible debt were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

Note 4 - New Authoritative Accounting Guidance
In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (ASU 2015-15). The previous guidance in ASU 2015-03, as defined below, did not address the presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. ASU 2015-15 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted and entities shall apply the guidance retrospectively to all prior year periods presented. The Company is in the process of assessing the effects of the application of the new guidance.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-03). To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted and entities shall apply the guidance retrospectively to all prior year periods presented. The Company is in the process of assessing the effects of the application of the new guidance.
In May 2014, the FASBissuedASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This ASUis effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. Accordingly, the Company will adopt this ASU on April 1, 2018. Companies may use either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach to adopt this ASU and management is currently evaluating which transition approach to use. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern", which requires management to evaluate whether conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entitys ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, to provide related footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory". This ASU applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or average cost. Under the updated guidance, an entity should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predicable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory that is measured using last-in, last-out ("LILO"). This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim and annual reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2015-11 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 7 - Derivative Liability
The Company accounts for the fair value of the conversion features of its convertible debt in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging; Embedded Derivatives (Topic No. 815-15). Topic No. 815-15 requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the conversion features as an embedded derivative contained in the Companys convertible debt. The Company is required to carry the embedded derivative on its balance sheet at fair value and account for any unrealized change in fair value as a component of results of operations. The Company values the embedded derivatives using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Amortization of debt discount amounted to $37,802 and $78,340 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $-0- and $108,376 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The derivative liability is revalued each reporting period using the Black-Scholes model. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the derivative liability was $139,384 and $140,307, respectively.
The Black-Scholes model utilized the following inputs to value the derivative liability at the date of issuance of the convertible note at September 30, 2015:
Stock Price - The stock price was based closing price of the Companys stock as of the valuation date, which was $.001 at September 30, 2015.
Variable Conversion Prices - The conversion price was based on: (i) 50% of the average closing bid price during the preceding ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to the conversion at September 30, 2015 for Carebourn Capital; (ii) 60% of the lowest trading prices during the 20 days prior to the date of conversion at September 30, 2015 for LG Capital; (iii) the lower of $0.018 per share or 60% of the lowest trading price during the 25 days prior to the date of conversion at September 30, 2015 for JMJ Financial.
Time to Maturity - The time to maturity was determined based on the length of time between the valuation date and the maturity of the debt. Time to maturity ranged from 55 to 563 days at September 30, 2015.
Risk Free Rate - The risk free rate was based on the Treasury Note rate as of the valuation dates with a term commensurate with the remaining term of the debt. The risk free rate at September 30, 2015 ranged from 0.08% to 0.64%, based on the term of the note.

Note 7 - Derivative Liability (continued)
Volatility - The volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company. The average volatility was 381.19% at September 30, 2015.
Note 8 - Related Party Transactions
The Company receives periodic advances from its principal stockholder based upon the Companys cash flow needs. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $241,333 and $224,124, respectively, was due to the shareholder, including accrued interest. Interest expense is accrued at an average annual market rate of interest which was 3.15% at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Interest expense associated with this loan was $1,332 and $4,370 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $944 and $2,292 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. No terms for repayment have been established. As a result, the amount is classified as a Current Liability.
Effective September 1, 2011, the Company and CEO entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the Amended Agreement) which primarily retains the term and compensation of the original agreement. The Amended Agreement, however, removes the section which previously provided for the issuance of Company common stock to the CEO, from time to time, when the Company is unable to pay the CEO the full amount of his Base Salary (as defined in the Amended Agreement) which would allow the CEO to maintain a fifty-one percent (51%) share of the Companys outstanding common stock. However, the CEO does have the right to request all or a portion of his unpaid Base Salary be paid with the Companys restricted common stock. In addition, the Amended Agreement provides for the issuance of 51 shares of newly authorized Series A Preferred Stock to be issued to the CEO. As defined in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, each share of Series A Preferred Stock has voting rights such that the holder of 51 shares of Series A Preferred Stock will effectively maintain majority voting control of the Company. Effective November 3, 2011, the CEO notified the Company that for the one year period, retroactive from April 1, 2011, through December 31, 2012, he would reduce his Base Salary to $100,000. The reduction in base compensation was subsequently extended to December 31, 2013. The CEO is currently deferring a portion of his salary to conserve cash. Deferred wages due to the CEO amounted to $236,909 and $124,899 for the periods ended September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Note 9 - Litigation
We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports (collectively, the Filings) filed by Bergio International, Inc. (Bergio or the Company) from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Companys management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Companys management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, future, intend, plan, or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Companys management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the Risk Factors section of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2015, relating to the Companys industry, the Companys operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require managements judgment in its application. There are also areas in which managements judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Plan of Operation
We concentrate our business on boutique, upscale jewelry stores. We currently sell our jewelry to approximately 50 independent jewelry retailers across the United States. We 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. As of October 1, 2014, the Company ceased operations in Russia due to the economic, currency and political condition in Russia. The Company intends to concentrate on its domestic operations and the duty free industry, which approximates $60 billion worldwide.
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 currently design and produce approximately 100 to 150 product styles. Current retail prices for our products range from $400 to $200,000. We have manufacturing control over our line as a result of having a manufacturing facility in New Jersey as well as subcontracts with facilities located in Italy.
14
It is our intention to establish Bergio 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. We intend to locate potential candidates through our relationships in the industry. However, as of the date of this report, we do not have any binding agreements with any potential acquisition candidates.
It is also our intention to establish a chain of retail stores to further enhance the Bergio brand, and to take advantage of the higher margins at the retail level. The Company opened its first retail store in Bergen County, New Jersey in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Our future operations are contingent upon increasing revenues and raising capital for on-going operations and expansion of our product lines. Because we have a limited operating history, you may have difficulty evaluating our business and future prospects.

Sales
Net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $252,353 (65.7%) and $258,908 (25.7%) to $131,880 and $749,992, respectively, as compared to $384,233 and $1,008,900, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in sales from Russia was offset partially by the increase in wholesale sales. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company had no sales related to Russia as compared to $225,619 and $599,284 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. As of October 1, 2014, the Company ceased operations in Russia due to the economic, currency and political condition in Russia. The Company intends to concentrate on its domestic operations, including the retail market, and the duty free industry, which approximates $60 billion worldwide.
Typically, revenues experience significant seasonal volatility in the jewelry industry. The first two quarters of any given year typically represent approximately 25%-35% 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. This year there has been a general slowdown in the market.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $74,519 (56.9%) to $56,435 as compared to $130,954 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease in gross profit is primarily due to the decrease in volume mostly attributed to the closing of the Russian operations.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $8,445 (3.3%) to $263,036 as compared to $254,591 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase in gross profit is primarily due to the closing of the Russian operations which had a lower gross margin on its products as compared to higher gross margins on the Companys standard products as well as higher margins for the retail store and from RS Fisher. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, our gross profit as a percentage of sales was 42.8% as compared to a gross profit as a percentage of sales of 34.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our gross profit as a percentage of sales was 35.1% as compared to a gross profit as a percentage of sales of 25.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $26,929 (15.9%) for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $196,404 as compared to $169,475 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily as a result of expenses associated with the RS Fisher operations and the retail store offset partially by lower advertising, marketing and commission expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $472,428 (41.7%) to $660,390 as compared to $1,132,818 for the same period in the prior year. Lower advertising, marketing, travel and commission expenses and lower professional fees were partially offset by increased operating expenses associated with the Companys RS Fisher operations and retail store.
Loss from Operations
As a result of the above, we had a loss from operations of $139,969 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to a loss from operations of $38,521 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we had a loss from operations of $397,354 as compared to a loss from operations of $878,227 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Other Income (Expense)
For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company had Other Income of $358,426 as compared to Other Expense of $8,627 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase in Other Income is primarily attributed to the non-cash gain on the change in the fair market value of derivatives. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company had Other Expense of $132,453 as compared to Other Expense of $70,127 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in Other Expense is due to the increase in interest expense.
16
Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the above, we had net income of $218,457 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to a net loss of $47,148 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 we incurred a net loss of $529,807 as compared to a net loss of $948,354 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Working Capital |
| $ | 205,026 |
| $ | 555,328 |
| $ | (350,302) |
Over the next twelve months we believe that our existing capital combined with available borrowing under our bank lines of credit and proceeds from convertible debt will be sufficient to sustain our current operations. Additionally, our major stockholder has agreed to continue, from time to time as needed, to advance funds under similar terms as his current advances. It is anticipated that we will need to sell additional equity and/or debt securities in the event we locate potential mergers and/or acquisitions or require additional capital for our plan to establish retail stores.
Our working capital decreased $350,302. This decrease is primarily attributed to increase in convertible debt and bank lines of credit.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company had a net decrease in cash of $3,259. The Companys principal sources and uses of funds were as follows:
Cash used in operating activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company used $248,629 in cash for operations as compared to $260,568 in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease in cash used in operations is primarily attributed to the lower operating loss and decrease in inventory mostly offset by the increase in accounts receivable.
Cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $3,466 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $244,394 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, due to lower purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements related to the Companys first retail store that opened last year.
Cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $248,836 as compared to $546,401 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease is primarily the result of the lower proceeds from convertible debt and issuances of common stock.
Our indebtedness is comprised of various bank credit lines, convertible debt, advances from a stockholder/officer 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.
Bank Lines of Credit and Notes Payable
We have a number of various unsecured credit card obligations. These obligations require minimal monthly payments of interest and principal and as of September 30, 2015, have interest rates ranging from 3.99% to 22.5%. As of September 30, 2015, we have outstanding balances related to these obligations of $349,759.
17
Convertible Debt
The Company enters into certain financing agreements for convertible debt. For the most part, the Company settles these obligations with the Companys common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company received $170,000 in financing from these arrangements. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding convertible debt in the amount of $606,207, net of debt discount in the amount of $51,812.
Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months
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 growth of our operations. This may materially impact our ability to increase revenue and continue our growth.
Over the next twelve months we believe that our existing capital combined with cash flow from operations and advances from our major stockholder will be sufficient to sustain our current operations. However, in the event we locate potential acquisitions and/or mergers we will most likely need to obtain additional funding through the sale of equity and/or debt securities. There can be no assurance that if additional funding is required we will be able to secure it on terms that are favorable to us or at all.
Research and Development
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
We currently have three full-time employees and three part-time employees. Of our current employees, one is in sales and marketing, two are manufacturing and three hold administrative and executive positions. None of our employees are subject to any collective bargaining agreements. We do not anticipate a significant change in the number of full time employees over the next 12 months.
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.
Our critical accounting policies are described in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2015 (the Annual Report). There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in our notes to the 2014 consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (ASU 2015-15). The previous guidance in ASU 2015-03, as defined below, did not address the presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. ASU 2015-15 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted and entities shall apply the guidance retrospectively to all prior year periods presented. The Company is in the process of assessing the effects of the application of the new guidance.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-03). To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted and entities shall apply the guidance retrospectively to all prior year periods presented. The Company is in the process of assessing the effects of the application of the new guidance.
In May 2014, theFASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. Accordingly, the Company will adopt this ASU on April 1, 2018. Companies may use either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach to adopt this ASU and management is currently evaluating which transition approach to use. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern", which requires management to evaluate whether conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entitys ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, to provide related footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory". This ASU applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or average cost. Under the updated guidance, an entity should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predicable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory that is measured using last-in, last-out ("LILO"). This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim and annual reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2015-11 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Principal Executive Officer (PEO) and Principal Financial Officer (PFO), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management designed the disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our PEO and PFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, the PEO and PFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
