NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ZIVO Bioscience, Inc. and its wholly- owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein. These consolidated financial statements are condensed, and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2019 consolidated audited financial statements and Notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2020.
The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, or any other period.
The Company incurred a net loss of $7,212,569 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In addition, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $10,969,148 and a stockholders’ deficit of $11,090,848 at September 30, 2020. These factors continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company raised $625,400 from the issuance of common stock and exercise of common stock warrants; $1,925,000 from the proceeds from the sale of Participation Agreements and related warrants; $121,700 in Loans Payable, Other and $129,000 in loans from related parties. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ZIVO Bioscience, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Health Enhancement Corporation, HEPI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Wellmetrix, LLC (formerly known as WellMetris, LLC), Zivo Bioscience, LLC and Zivo Biologic, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounting Estimates
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management uses its best judgment in valuing these estimates and may, as warranted, solicit external professional advice and other assumptions believed to be reasonable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. At September 30, 2020, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consist of furniture and office equipment and are carried at cost less allowances for depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is determined by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Repair and maintenance costs that do not improve service potential or extend the economic life of an existing fixed asset are expensed as incurred.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Debt Issuance Costs
The Company follows authoritative guidance for accounting for financing costs (as amended) as it relates to convertible debt issuance costs. These costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the debt period or until redemption of the convertible debentures. Debt Issuance Costs are reported on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of the related notes. Amortization of debt issuance costs amounted to $-0- and $1,187,817 and are included in Interest Expense – Related Parties on the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 there were no unamortized Debt Issuance costs included in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheets as presented in these financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with revenue recognition accounting guidance, which utilizes five steps to determine whether revenue can be recognized and to what extent: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s); (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) determine the recognition period. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Significant judgments exercised by management include the identification of performance obligations, and whether such promised goods or services are considered distinct. The Company evaluates promised goods or services on a contract by contract basis to determine whether each promise represents a good or service that is distinct or has the same pattern of transfer as other promises. A promised good or service is considered distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service independently of other goods/services either in the contract or that can be obtained elsewhere, without regard to contract exclusivity, and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contact. If the good or service is not considered distinct, the Company combines such promises and accounts for them as a single combined performance obligation.
For nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $20,000 and $-0- of service revenue, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, no shipping and handling costs were incurred.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company's research and development costs, including internal expenses, consist of clinical study expenses as it relates to the BioTech business and the development and growing of algae as it relates to the AgTech business. These consist of fees, charges, and related expenses incurred in the conduct of business with Company development by independent outside contractors. External clinical studies study expenses were approximately $1,431,000 and $1,650,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Internal expenses, composed of staff salaries compose approximately $1,877,000 and $190,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, as amended by (ASU) No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company generally issues grants to its employees, consultants and board members. At the date of grant, the Company determines the fair value of the stock option or warrant award and recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of the stock option or warrant award is calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, stock options and warrants were granted to employees, the Board of Directors and consultants of the Company. As a result of these grants, the Company recorded compensation expense of $3,158,487 and $985,832 for these periods, respectively.
The fair value of stock options and warrants was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions:
|

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee warrants have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the warrants.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted loss per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants and conversions of debentures. Potentially dilutive securities as of September 30, 2020, consisted of 76,578,752 common shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debentures and related accrued interest and 237,547,006 common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants. Potentially dilutive securities as of September 30, 2019, consisted of 101,203,285 common shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debentures and related accrued interest and 203,130,756 common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 diluted and basic weighted average shares are the same, as potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive.
Advertising
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. There were no advertising costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company, from time to time, maintains cash balances at financial institutions which exceed the current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit of $250,000.
Reclassifications
Certain items in these consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 superseded the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605),” and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. Historically the Company has had insignificant revenues.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases,” to require lessees to recognize all leases, with limited exceptions, on the balance sheet, while recognition on the statement of operations will remain similar to current lease accounting. The ASU also eliminates real estate-specific provisions and modifies certain aspects of lessor accounting. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842”, ASU No. 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements,” and ASU No. 2018-20, “Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors,” to clarify and amend the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period.
The Company has adopted each of the ASUs. Prior comparative periods were not required to be restated and the ASUs have not had an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT
HEP Investments, LLC – Related Party
On December 2, 2011, the Company and HEP Investments, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (the “Lender”), entered into the following documents, effective as of December 1, 2011, as amended through May 16, 2018: (i) a Loan Agreement under which the Lender has agreed to advance up to $20,000,000 to the Company, subject to certain conditions, (ii) an 11% Convertible Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $20,000,000 (“Note”) (of which a total of $18,470,640 has been funded, with a total of $14,380,298 converted into 143,702,981 shares of common stock, leaving a balance advanced of $4,090,342 as of September 30, 2020), (iii) a Security Agreement, under which the Company granted the Lender a security interest in all of its assets, (iv) issue the Lender warrants to purchase 1,666,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.12 per share (including a cashless exercise provision) which expired September 30, 2016 (from the original December 1, 2011 agreement), (v) enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with respect to all the shares of common stock issuable to the Lender in connection with the Loan transaction, in each case subject to completion of funding of the full $20,000,000 called for by the Loan Agreement, and (vi) an Intellectual Property security agreement under which the Company and its subsidiaries granted the Lender a security interest in all their respective intellectual properties, including patents, in order to secure their respective obligations to the Lender under the Note and related documents. The Lenders Notes are convertible into the Company’s restricted common stock at $.10 per share and bear interest at the rate of 11% per annum. In addition, the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Note. The Company has also made certain agreements with the Lender which shall remain in effect as long as any amount is outstanding under the Loan. These agreements include an agreement not to make any change in the Company’s senior management, without the prior written consent of the Lender. Two representatives of the Lender will have the right to attend Board of Director meetings as non-voting observers.
On March 29, 2019, the Company and the Lender entered into a “Debt Extension Agreement” whereby the Lender extended the maturity date of the Note to June 30, 2019. The Lender received no additional consideration related to this debt extension. The Company determined that the modification of these Notes was not a substantial modification in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Modifications and Extinguishments.”
As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not made the required annual interest payments and principal payments to the Lender. As the Company has not received a notice of default, pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Company does not currently consider itself in default. Were the Company to be in default, additional interest would accrue at a rate of 16% per annum.
Based on the above, as of September 30, 2020, the total shares of common stock, if the Lender converted the complete $4,090,342 convertible debt, including related accrued interest of $1,859,832, would be 59,501,746 shares, not including any future interest charges which may be converted into common stock.
Paulson Investment Company, LLC - Related Debt
On August 24, 2016, the Company entered into a Placement Agent Agreement with Paulson Investment Company, LLC (Paulson). The agreement provided that Paulson could provide up to $2 million in financings through “accredited investors” (as defined by Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). As of December 31, 2016, the Company received funding of $1,250,000 through seven (7) individual loans (the “New Lenders”). Each loan included a (i) a Loan Agreement of the individual loan, (ii) a Convertible Secured Promissory Note (“New Lenders Notes”) in the principal amount of the loan, (iii) a Security Agreement under which the Company granted the Lender a security interest in all of its assets and (iv) an Intercreditor Agreement with HEP Investments, LLC (HEP) whereby HEP and the New Lenders agree to participate in all collateral on a pari passu basis. The loans have a two-year term and mature in September 2018 ($600,000) and October 2018 ($650,000). Paulson received a 10% cash finance fee for monies invested in the Company in the form of convertible debt, along with 5 year, $.10 warrants equal to 15% of the number of common shares for which the debt is convertible into at $.10 per share. The New Lenders Notes are convertible into the Company’s restricted common stock at $.10 per share and bear interest at the rate of 11% per annum.
On September 24, 2018, one New Lender converted $300,000 of the debt and $64,280 of accrued interest into 3,642,800 shares of the Company’s common stock (at $.10 per share). On May 8, 2019, one of the New Lenders bought the note of another New Lender.
On January 15, 2020, two New Lenders converted $100,000 of the debt and $36,225 of accrued interest into 1,362,246 shares of the Company’s common stock (at $.10 per share).
The New Lenders Notes state that they will be repaid as follows: accrued interest must be paid on the first and second anniversary of the Note and unpaid principal not previously converted into common stock must be repaid on the second anniversary of the Note.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT (continued)
As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not made the required annual interest payments to the three (3) remaining New Lenders. As the Company has not received notices of default, pursuant to the terms of the Notes, we do not currently consider ourselves in default to the three (3) remaining investors. Were the Company to be considered in default, additional interest would accrue at a rate of 16% per annum.
Other Debt
In September 2014, the Lender of the 1% convertible debentures agreed to rolling 30-day extensions until notice is given to the Company to the contrary. As of September 30, 2020, that agreement is still in place. The Company determined that the modification of these Notes is not a substantial modification in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Modifications and Extinguishments.”

NOTE 7 – LOANS PAYABLE - OTHERS
Paycheck Protection Program Loan
On May 7, 2020, The Company received $121,700 in loan funding from the Paycheck Protection Program (the "PPP") established pursuant to the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the "CARES Act") and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA"). The unsecured loan (the "PPP Loan") is evidenced by a promissory note of the Company, dated April 29, 2020 (the "Note") in the principal amount of $121,700 with Comerica Bank (the "Bank"), the lender.
Under the terms of the Note and the PPP Loan, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 1.0% per annum. The term of the Note is two years, though it may be payable sooner in connection with an event of default under the Note. To the extent the loan amount is not forgiven under the PPP, the Company will be obligated to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest beginning on the date that is seven months from the date of the Note, until the maturity date. The Note may be prepaid in part or in full, at any time, without penalty.
The CARES Act and the PPP provide a mechanism for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed. Under the PPP, the Company may apply for forgiveness for all or a part of the PPP Loan. The amount of loan proceeds eligible for forgiveness, as amended, is based on a formula that takes into account a number of factors, including: (i) the amount of loan proceeds that are used by the Company during the covered period after the loan origination date for certain specified purposes including payroll costs, interest on certain mortgage obligations, rent payments on certain leases, and certain qualified utility payments, provided that at least 75% of the loan amount is used for eligible payroll costs; (ii) the Company maintaining or rehiring employees, and maintaining salaries at certain levels; and (iii) other factors established by the SBA. Subject to the other requirements and limitations on loan forgiveness, only that portion of the loan proceeds spent on payroll and other eligible costs during the covered period will qualify for forgiveness. Although the Company currently intends to use the entire amount of the PPP Loan for qualifying expenses, no assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.

NOTE 8 - DEFERRED REVENUE - PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS
During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company entered into twelve (12) License Co-Development Participation Agreements (“Agreements”) totaling $1,925,000 with third parties (“Participants”). The Agreements provide for payments by the Company to the Participants of an aggregate of 28.875% of fees generated by the Company from licensing or selling bioactive ingredients or molecules (including its TLR4 Inhibitor molecule) derived from the Company’s algae cultures and actually received from any licensee of the Company (the “Revenue Share”). The Agreements also call for the issuance of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,325,000 shares of common stock with a term of five years and at exercise prices of either $.11 or $.12 per share (See the Table below).

NOTE 8 - DEFERRED REVENUE - PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS (Continued)
According to the terms of the Agreements, and pursuant to ASC 470-10-25 “Debt – Sales of Future Revenues” the Company has bifurcated the proceeds of $1,925,000 as follows: 1) the 5,325,000 warrants sold were attributed a value of $540,093 based on the Black Scholes pricing model using the following assumptions: volatilities ranging from 145.13% to 154.38%; annual rate of dividends 0%; discount rates ranging from 0.29% to 0.44%, and recorded as Additional Paid In Capital; 2) the remaining $1,384,907 was recorded as Deferred Revenue – Participation Agreements. Since the Company believes there is a rebuttable presumption pursuant to ASC 470-10-25.2, the Deferred Revenue – Participation Agreements will be amortized into income, using an estimate to be determined by Management, if and when the Company derives income from the license or sale of bioactive ingredients or molecules (including its TLR4 Inhibitor molecule) derived from the Company’s algae cultures.
Agreements #1 through #4 allow the Company the option (“Option”) to buy back the right, title and interest in the Revenue Share for an amount equal to the amount funded plus a forty percent (40%) premium. The Company may exercise its Option by delivering written notice to the Participant of its intent to exercise the Option, along with repayment terms of the amount funded, which may be paid, in the Company’s sole discretion, in one lump sum or in four (4) equal quarterly payments.
Agreements #5 through #12 allow the Company the Option to buy back the right, title and interest in the Revenue Share for an amount equal to the amount funded plus a forty percent (40%) premium, if the Option is exercised in less than 18 months, or a fifty percent (50%) premium, if the Option is exercised after 18 months. Pursuant to the terms of Agreements #5 through #12, the Company may not exercise its Option until it has paid the Participant a revenue share equal to a minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the amount initially funded. Once this minimum threshold is met, the Company may exercise its Option by delivering written notice to the Participant of its intent to exercise the Option, along with repayment terms of the amount funded, which may be paid, in the Company’s sole discretion, in one lump sum or in four (4) equal quarterly payments. If the Company does not make such quarterly payments timely for any quarter, then the Company shall pay the prorate Revenue Share amount, retroactive on the entire remaining balance owed, that would have been earned during such quarter until the default payments are made and the payment schedule is no longer in default.
