SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
PART I
Except for historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, statements regarding our business strategy, future revenues and anticipated costs and expenses. Such forward-looking statements include, among others, those statements including the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes” and similar language. Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, our business reliance on third parties to provide us with technology, our ability to integrate and manage acquired technology, assets, companies and personnel, changes in market condition, the volatile and intensely competitive environment in the business sectors in which we operate, rapid technological change, and our dependence on key and scarce employees in a competitive market for skilled personnel. These factors should not be considered exhaustive; we undertake no obligation to release publicly the results of any future revisions we may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, as well as those discussed in the section “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances taking place after the date of this document.
Item 1. Business.
Company Overview
We were originally formed as Montrose Ventures, Inc. in the State of Delaware on May 25, 1989. On April 23, 1996, our name was changed to Java Group, Inc., which tried and failed to start a chain of coffee bars. On September 1, 2004, our name was changed to Consolidated General Corp., and under that name the company attempted to buy tier 2 and 3 professional sports teams, including the Vancouver Ravens lacrosse team and the “San Diego Soccers” soccer team. On August 7, 2007, our name was changed to Goldcorp Holdings Co. On October 15, 2010, our name was changed to GoldLand Holdings Co.
On March 22, 2016, the board of directors of the Registrant, pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, determined it was in the best interest of the Registrant that the name of the Registrant should be changed to Bravo Multinational Incorporated, to reflect its new business, which is the purchase and leasing of gaming equipment. The change of name was effective upon compliance with all regulatory requirements mandated by FINRA. Further, as a result of the change of the Registrants name the trading symbol for the shares of the Registrant’s common stock has been changed to “BRVO.” Registrant’s CUSIP identifier has been changed to 10568F109.
The Registrant filed a Form 8-K with the SEC on April 7, 2016, announcing the change of name, trading symbol, and CUSIP identifier.
On January 16, 2017, The Board of Directors of the Company unanimously approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation in order to effect a plan of recapitalization that provides for a one-for-three hundred (1-for-300) reverse stock split of our common stock. Pursuant to written resolutions, the shareholders of the Company voted to approve the proposal to authorize the reverse split. The reverse stock split took effect, after filing a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The amended Articles of Incorporation increased the authorized shares to 1,050,000,000, consisting of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The common and preferred shares will have a par value of $0.0001 per share. The preferred shares are blank check preferred. Registrant’s CUSIP identifier has been changed to 10568F208.
On October 4, 2019 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to designate 10,000,000 shares of its “blank check” preferred stock as Series ‘A’ Preferred Stock, which left 40,000,000 “blank check” authorized but unissued. The Preferred Series ‘A’ had a par value of $0.0001 per share, and entitled holders to receive one hundred (100) time the dividends per share of common stock, 100:1 stock voting rights, 100:1 liquidation rights and conversion ratio of 1:100 to common stock. Currently, there are no Series ‘A’ Preferred shares outstanding.
On October 09, 2020, The Company moved it state of incorporation from the State of Delaware to the State of Wyoming. After the move to Wyoming, authorized capital of Bravo Multinational Incorporated consists of an unlimited number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, an unlimited number of shares of Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share and an unlimited number of shares of Series Preferred ‘A’ stock at a par value of $0.0001, which has the same characteristics as described above. The reincorporation did not affect total stockholder equity or total capitalization of the Company (See Exhibit 3.1).
Former Business
We currently own 76.63 acres within seven patented mining claims with a 29.167% ownership interest. We allowed all of our BLM unpatented and placer claims to expire. We may look to expand on our mining claim holdings in the future. Currently, the carrying value on such patented claims was fully impaired due to lack of economic viability of such properties.
However, it should be noted that we were not at any time a mining operator. As described above, the Company owns mining claims, but none of those claims are leased to a third party. Since the mining operations of our lessee no longer have any relevance to our business of the leasing and selling of gaming equipment, we will only include financial information relating to revenues, expenses, and results of operations and other relevant information with respect to the former mining activities of the lessee of our mining properties. For a complete discussion of the mining activities on our mining claims conducted by other parties, please see our previous Form 10-Ks, 10-Qs, and 8-Ks filed with the SEC
Current Business
We are currently engaged in the business of leasing and selling gaming equipment. We, however, ceased operations in Nicaragua in 2017 due to political and economic instabilities. We are planning to operate our business in the US and other more stable democracies in Latin America.
During October 2017 severe weather, hurricanes, rain and flooding occurred in Nicaragua where the company had its gaming machines operation. Lower tourism and local traffic due to these uncontrollable weather issues had an effect on the Company’s machine revenues during the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company had purchased 300 gaming machines that were placed in casinos where they were producing a monthly revenue stream based on net wins of each machine. Consequently, revenue and account receivable due on these machines cannot be collectable due to the social and economic conditions which prevailed after the storms. Currently, the country has economic and trade sanctions in place by the U.S. Government.
-2-
On or about the first week of December 2017, Centro de Entretenimiento y Diversion Mombacho S.A. and GameTouch, LLC notified management of serious issues throughout the Country of Nicaragua. Civil unrest started due to lack of simple social services, like electricity, running water and destroyed infrastructure from Hurricane Nate. The ever growing political and civil unrest affected the country’s economy, which had a direct effect on the gaming industry in Nicaragua. The dangerous situation throughout Nicaragua eliminated BRVO from operating its gaming interests, effectively. On December 30, 2017, management canceled the business contracts with both Centro de Entretenimiento y Diversion Mombacho S.A. and GameTouch, LLC. Currently, the US Government placed trade and financial sanctions on the Government of Nicaragua, which greatly affected BRVO’s business practices in the Country.
Throughout 2018, the Company struggled to maintain its gaming operations. The politically unstable situation in Nicaragua, in addition to US financial and trade sanctions against the current Nicaraguan Government, caused Bravo Multinational, Inc. to reassess it gaming operations. As such, on November 18, 2018, management changed the direction of the Company by evaluating gaming operations as they might exist in the USA and Canadian markets and other more stable democracies within Latin America.
Management evaluated other possible casino gaming operations with the expectation of finding an economic viable operation. In 2021, management did due diligence on other industry opportunities outside of the casino gaming industries. Management determined and evaluated these opportunities and made the determination that moving forward was not accretive to the Company, and was unlikely to create meaningful shareholder value.
Throughout 2021 and 2022, management evaluated other possible casino gaming operations with the expectation of finding an economically viable business model. Also, management is in the process of conducting due diligence and negotiations in connection with other opportunities outside of the casino gaming industry.

Item 2. Properties.
The Company office is located at 2020 General Booth Blvd, Unit 230, Virginia Beach, VA 23454. Current rent expense is zero, since the Company is sharing office space at no cost with its Director and CFO, Mr. Richard Kaiser.
A description of our mining properties is included in “Item 1. Business” and is incorporated herein by reference. We have written-off the cost of the mining properties inasmuch as the value of any future revenue is unknown. We believe that we have good title to our mining properties, subject to liens incident to minor encumbrances, liens for credit arrangements and easements and restrictions that do not materially detract from the value of these properties, our interests in these properties, or the use of these properties in a business. We have no plans to revive our mining operations at this time, although, we continue to evaluate the benefits of doing so.
Our mining claims are listed below:
| Name | Ownership Interest | Type of Claim | Acres |
| Poorman Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 3.44 |
| London Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 17.52 |

A patented mining claim is one which the federal government has passed title to the claimant, making the claimant the owner of the surface and mineral rights. An unpatented mining claim is one which is still owned by the federal government, but which the claimant has a right to possession to extracted minerals, provided the land is open to mineral entry.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our expected financial position, business and financing plans. These statements involve risks and uncertainties.

Coronavirus Impact (COVID-19)
Due to the recent outbreak of the coronavirus reported in many countries worldwide, local and federal governments have issued travel advisories, canceled large scale public events and closed schools. In addition, companies have begun to cancel conferences and travel plans and require employees to work from home. Global financial markets have also experienced extreme volatility and disruptions to capital and credit markets.
Adverse events such as health-related concerns about working in our offices, the inability to travel, potential impact on our business partners and customers, and other matters affecting the general work and business environment could harm our business and delay the implementation of our business strategy.
Management is currently aware of the global and domestic issues arising from the Covid-19 pandemic and the possible direct and indirect effects on the Company’s operations which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s current financial position, future results of operations, or liquidity, because its current operations are limited. However, investors should also be aware of factors, which includes the possibility of Covid-19 effects on operational status, could have a negative impact on the Company’s prospects and the consistency of progress in the areas of revenue generation, liquidity, and generation of capital resources. These may include: (i) variations in revenue, (ii) possible inability to attract investors for its equity securities or otherwise raise adequate funds from any source should the company seek to do so, (iii) increased governmental regulation or significant changes in that regulation, (iv) increased competition, (v) unfavorable outcomes to litigation involving the Company or to which the Company may become a party in the future, and (vi) a very competitive and rapidly changing operating environment. The adverse events may also adversely impact our ability to raise capital or to continue as a going concern. We continue to monitor the recent outbreak of the coronavirus on our operations. The global economic slowdown and the other risks and uncertainties associated with the pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In addition, to the extent the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects the Company’s business and results of operations. It may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks and uncertainties which the Company faces.

Going Concern
As of December 31, 2022, Bravo Multinational had an accumulated deficit of $90,940,720. We, as managment, have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. While we are attempting to generate revenues, our cash position may not be significant enough to support our daily operations. We intends to raise additional funds by way of an offering of our securities, and that the actions presently being taken to further implement our business plan and generate revenues will improve the Company’s operating results. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, we may not be successful. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our capability to further implement our business plan and generate revenues. This issue is addressed in footnote 4 to the financial statements.
Year Ended December 31, 2022, compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2021
Revenues for the Company’s year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $-0- and for year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $-0. No machines sales occurred throughout the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Cost of Goods Sold for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $-0- and for year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $-0. No gaming machines were purchased or sold during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Gross margins for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were 0%, respectively.
General and Administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $8,793 compared to $9,436 for year ending December 31, 2021. The decrease was attributed to lower fees paid to the Company’s stock transfer agent in 2022.
Professional Fees for the year ending December 31, 2022 totaled $44,265 compared to $43,203 for year ending December 31, 2021, the increase was attributed to higher legal and accounting fees incurred as a fully reporting Company with the SEC.
Board of Director fees for the year ending December 31, 2022 totaled $475,000 compared to $475,000 for year ending December 31, 2021.
Total Other (Income) and Expense for the year ending December 31, 2022 was $-0-, compared to $107,513 for year ending December 31, 2021, the decrease was because the Company had no gain from write-offs on Loan and Account Payables.
Net Loss
Net loss for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $528,058 and $420,126 respectively. The increase in loss in 2022 was attributed due to the decrease in Total Other (Income) and Expense as mentioned per above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
As of December 31, 2022, our only asset, consisted of Cash, totaled $73. The Company’s total liabilities at December 31, 2022 were $1,767,537, which consisted primarily of accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits, and accrued board of director fees. As of this date the Company had an accumulated deficit of $90,940,720 and working capital of deficit of $1,767,464. This increase in our deficit over the same period in 2021, is due to the decrease in Total Other (Income) and Expense; no gains in write-offs for 2022.
The Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern (see footnote 4 of the financial statements). The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As indicated herein, we need capital for the implementation of our business plan, and we will need additional capital for continuing our operations. We do not have sufficient revenues to pay our operating expenses at this time. Unless the Company is able to raise working capital, it is likely that the Company will either have to cease operations or substantially change its methods of operations or change its business plan. For the next 12 months the Company has an oral commitment from its CEO to advance funds as necessary to meet our operating requirement.
Cash from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $53,014 for year ended December 31, 2022, and was $47,942 for year ended December 31, 2021.
Accounting Principals
Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and impairment of long-lived assets.
Stock-Based Compensation
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)to expand the scope of ASC 718,Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)(“ASU 2018-07”), to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is still evaluating this ASU and anticipates it will not have significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: (1) Identify the contract with a client; (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) Recognize revenues when or as the company satisfies a performance obligation.
We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018. Although the new revenue standard is expected to have an immaterial impact, if any, on our ongoing net income, we did implement changes to our processes related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Operating Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The evaluation of our Disclosure Controls included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, our implementation of the controls and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Form 10-K. Throughout the course of our evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, we advised our Board of Directors that we had identified a material weakness as defined under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness we identified is discussed in “Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” below. Our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as a result of the material weakness, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Disclosure Controls were not effective.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting; as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act.
Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management, including our principal operating officer and principal accounting officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework.
Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any related financial disclosure, nor does management believe that it had any effect on the accuracy of the Company’s financial statements for the current reporting period.
The material weakness are set forth below:
● The Company has inadequate segregation of duties within its cash disbursement control design.
● During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company internally performed all aspects of its financial reporting process, including, but not limited to the underlying accounting records and the recording of journal entries and for the preparation of financial statements. This process was deficient, because these duties were performed often times by the same people, and therefore a lack of review was created over the financial reporting process that might result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
● The Company is continuing the process of remediating its control deficiencies. However, the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that has been identified will not be remediated until numerous internal controls are implemented and operate for a period of time, are tested, and the Company is able to conclude that such internal controls are operating effectively. The Company cannot provide assurance that these procedures will be successful in identifying material errors that may exist in the financial statements. The Company cannot make assurances that it will not identify additional material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in the future. Management plans, as capital becomes available to the Company, to increase the accounting and financial reporting staff and provide future investments in the continuing education and public company accounting training of our accounting and financial professionals.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records, that in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors, and;
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, management used the May 2013 updated criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control system, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Because of the material weakness described above, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2022 our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO. There has been no change in our internal controls that occurred during our most recent fiscal period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls.
In May 2013, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) released an updated version of its Internal Control - Integrated Framework (“2013 Framework”), Initially issued in 1992, the original framework (“1992 Framework”) provided guidance to organizations to design, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of internal control concepts and simplify their use and application. The 2013 Framework is intended to improve upon systems of internal control over external financial reporting by formalizing the principles embedded in the 1992 Framework, incorporating business and operating environment changes and increasing the framework ease of use and application. The 1992 Framework remained available until December 15, 2014, after which it was superseded by the 2013 Framework. As of December 31, 2014, the Company transitioned to the 2013 Framework. The Company did not experience significant changes to its internal control over financial reporting as a result of the transition to the 2013 Framework.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit smaller reporting companies like us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
This report shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
No changes have occurred in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s last fiscal quarter, which has materially affected or is likely to affect such controls.

Committees of the Board
We currently have an Executive Committee of our board of directors which was established on March 24, 2015. However, we do not currently have an Audit, Finance, Compensation, or Nominating Committee, or any other committee of the board of directors. We have adopted a charter for the Executive Committee as well as charters for the other committees, in the event that we elect to implement them. Copies of the charters for each committee have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, we have posted copies of the charters for each committee on our website at www.bravomultinational.com. We will provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of the charter for any of our committees. In addition, we intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law concerning any amendments to our committees or their charters. Any such request should be directed to Mr. Richard Kaiser, our corporate secretary, at 3419 Virginia Beach Boulevard, Unit 252, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23452, telephone (757) 306-6090, or you may email Mr. Kaiser at [email protected]. The information contained in our website shall not constitute part of this filing.
For the areas where we dont have committees, such responsibilities of these committees are fulfilled by our board of directors and all of our directors participate in such responsibilities, none of whom is “independent” as defined under Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ’s listing standards described below. Our financial constraints have made it extremely difficult to attract and retain qualified independent board members. Since we do not have any of the subject committees, other than our Executive Committee, our entire board of directors participates in all of the considerations with respect to our audit, finance, compensation, and nomination deliberations.
Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ’s listing standards defines an “independent director” as a person other than an executive officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the issuer’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The following persons shall not be considered independent:
● A director who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the company.
● A director who accepted or who has a Family Member who accepted any compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the three years preceding the determination of independence, other than the following: (i) compensation for board or board committee service; (ii) compensation paid to a Family Member who is an employee (other than as an executive officer) of the Company; or (iii) benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation. Provided, however, that in addition to the requirements contained in this paragraph, audit committee members are also subject to additional, more stringent requirements under NASDAQ Rule 4350(d).
● A director who is a Family Member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company as an executive officer;
● A director who is, or has a Family Member who is, a partner in, or a controlling stockholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed five percent of the recipients consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than the following: (i) payments arising solely from investments in the Company’s securities; or (ii) payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs;
● A director of the issuer who is, or has a Family Member who is, employed as an executive officer of another entity where at any time during the past three years any of the executive officers of the issuer serve on the compensation committee of such other entity; or
● A director who is, or has a Family Member who is, a current partner of the Company’s outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of Bravo’s outside auditor who worked on the Company’s audit at any time during any of the past three years.
We hope to add qualified independent members of our board of directors at a later date, depending upon our ability to reach and maintain financial stability.
Executive Committee
In accordance with Article III of our Bylaws, our board of directors has established an Executive Committee which consists of members who have been appointed by the board of directors. Thereafter, the chairman of the Executive Committee, Merle Ferguson was appointed by the members of the Executive Committee. The other member of the Executive Committee is Richard Kaiser. The members of the Executive Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the board of directors or until their successors shall be duly designated. Vacancies in the Executive Committee shall be filled by the board of directors.
During the intervals between the meetings of the board of directors, the Executive Committee shall have and may exercise all of the authority of the board of directors in the management of the business affairs of Bravo to the extent authorized by the resolution providing for the Executive Committee or by subsequent resolution adopted by a majority of the whole board of directors. This authorization is subject to the limitations imposed by law, the bylaws of Bravo Multinational Incorporated or the board of directors.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Executive Committee held no formal meetings.
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. At the present time, Richard Kaiser, our chief financial officer is considered to be our expert in financial and accounting matters.
-9-
Nominating Committee
Our size and the size of our board, at this time, do not require a separate nominating committee. This function is performed by the entire board of directors.
Finance Committee
Although we currently do not have a Finance Committee, we have adopted a charter which provides that when established it will oversee all areas of corporate finance for Bravo and its subsidiaries, including capital structure, equity and debt financing, capital expenditures, cash management, banking activities and relationships, investments, foreign exchange activities and share repurchase activities.

The members of the Finance Committee are to be recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and are appointed by and serve at the discretion of the board of directors.
Compensation Committee
Although we currently do not have a Compensation Committee, we have adopted a charter which provides that when established it is to assist the board of directors in meeting its responsibilities with regard to oversight and determination of executive compensation and to review and make recommendations to the board of directors with respect to major compensation plans, policies and programs of Bravo. The Compensation Committee shall consist of not fewer than two members of the board of directors, with the exact number being determined by the board. Members of the Compensation Committee shall be appointed from time to time to serve in such capacity by the Board. Each member shall meet the independence and outside director requirements of applicable tax and securities laws and regulations and stock market rules.
Conflicts of Interest
With respect to transactions involving real or apparent conflicts of interest, we have adopted written policies and procedures, which are contained in our Corporate Governance Principles, and which require that:
● The fact of the relationship or interest giving rise to the potential conflict be disclosed or made known to the directors prior to their authorization or approval of such actions;
● The transaction to be approved by a majority of our disinterested directors; and
● The transaction to be fair and reasonable to us at the time it is authorized or approved by our directors.
Code of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers
We have adopted an amended Code of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers that applies to our president, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, and all financial officers, including the principal accounting officer.
Code of Business Conduct
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct, which applies to Bravo and all of our subsidiaries, whereby we expect each employee to use sound judgment to help us maintain appropriate compliance procedures and to carry out our business in compliance with laws and high ethical standards. Each of our employees is expected to read our Code of Business Conduct and demonstrate personal commitment to the standards set forth in our Code of Business Conduct. Our officers and other supervising employees are expected to be leaders in demonstrating this personal commitment to the standards outlined in our Code of Business Conduct and recognizing indications of illegal or improper conduct. All employees are expected to report appropriately any indications of illegal or improper conduct. An employee who does not comply with the standards set forth in our Code of Business Conduct may be subject to discipline in light of the nature of the violation, including termination of employment.
Copies of our Corporate Governance Principles, our amended Code of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers, and our Code of Business Conduct have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of our Corporate Governance Principles, our amended Code of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers, and our Code of Business Conduct. In addition, we intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law concerning any amendments to our Corporate Governance Principles, our amended Code of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers, and our Code of Business Conduct. Any request for review of such documents should be directed to Mr. Richard Kaiser, our corporate secretary, at 3419 Virginia Beach Boulevard, Unit 252, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23452, telephone (757) 306-6090, or email him at [email protected].

Business Advisory Board
On September 07, 2022, the Board of Directors dissolved the “Business Advisory Board” that was formed in November 2020. The dissolution of the Business Advisory Board is not due to any disputes or disagreements.
Board of Directors Meetings

Item 11. Executive Compensation.
Summary of Cash and Certain Other Compensation
At present, Bravo Multinational Incorporated has two executive officers. Beginning in March 2015, the compensation program for our executives consists of three key elements:
● A base salary;
● Additional compensation; and,
● Periodic grants and/or options of our common stock.
Base Salary. Our executive officers receive compensation based on such factors as competitive industry salaries, a subjective assessment of the contribution and experience of the officer, and the specific recommendation by our board of directors.
Additional Compensation. Each of our officers receives additional compensation as provided in the officers’ employment agreement. All payments to officers must be approved by our board of directors or compensation committee based on the individual officer’s performance and company performance.
Stock Incentive. Stock grants and options are awarded to executive officers based on their positions and individual performance. Stock grants and options provide incentive for the creation of stockholder value over the long term and aid significantly in the recruitment and retention of executive officers. The board of directors or compensation committee considers the recommendations of the chief executive officer for stock grants and options to executive officers (other than the chief executive officer) and approves, disapproves or modifies such recommendation. Stock grants and options for our executive officers will be recommended and approved by our board of directors. See “Market Price of and Dividends on our Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters - Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans.”
Bravo Multinational Incorporated Summary Compensation Table

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (PCAOB ID 5041)
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Bravo Multinational Incorporated
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bravo Multinational Incorporated as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.
We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
/S/
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017

NOTE 1 – Organization & Description of Business
Bravo Multinational Corporation (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) was originally formed as Montrose Ventures, Inc. in the State of Delaware on May 25, 1989. On April 23, 1996, the Company’s name was changed to Java Group, Inc., and on September 1, 2004 the name was changed to Consolidated General Corp. On August 7, 2007, the Company’s name was changed to GoldCorp Holdings Co. On October 15, 2010, our name was changed to GoldLand Holdings Co. On April 6, 2016, we changed our corporate name to Bravo Multinational Incorporated. On March 22, 2016, the board of directors of the company, pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, determined it was in the best interests of the company that the name of the company should be changed to Bravo Multinational Incorporated, with such change of name to be effective upon compliance with all regulatory requirements mandated by FINRA. Further, as a result of the change of the company’s name and upon satisfaction of all regulatory requirements, the trading symbol for the shares of the company’s common stock should be changed to “BRVO,” and the company’s CUSIP identifier be changed to a newly issued number. FINRA granted its approval of the change of the company’s name on April 6, 2016. As a result of the change of name of the company, the company’s trading symbol was changed to “BRVO” and the CUSIP identifier was changed to 10568F109. On August 3, 2020, the Board of Directors agreed in changing the Company’s incorporation from Delaware to Wyoming. On September 25, 2020, the Company merged into its wholly owned subsidiary Bravo Multinational (Wyoming) to achieve the change in state incorporation.
The Company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC on April 7, 2016, announcing the change of name, trading symbol, and CUSIP identifier.
The
Company owned patented and unpatented mining claims on War Eagle Mountain in the state of Idaho. The Company entered into a lease
agreement with Silver Falcon Mining, Inc. (SFMI) under which SFMI is entitled to mine the land and the Company is entitled to a
The Company is currently engaged in the business of buying and reselling gaming equipment. The Company also buys machines for its own use that are placed in casinos or gaming areas to obtain monthly revenue streams from the machines’ net win revenue.
NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bravo Multinational Incorporated, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Universal Entertainment SAS, Ltd., (the “Company”). All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation. During the year ended December 31, 2017, management recognized that Universal is an inactive Florida corporation which no longer operates.
Method of Accounting
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents may include time deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions located in the United States, which periodically may exceed federally insured amounts.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.
Earnings (loss) per share of common stock are computed in accordance with FASB ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible securities, if dilutive. Common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive are excluded from both diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding and diluted earnings (loss) per share.
The Company has issued and may issue stock in lieu of cash for certain transactions. The fair value of the stock, which is based on comparable cash purchases, third party fair values of shares or the value of services, whichever is more readily determinable, is used to value the transaction.
F-7
NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued
Fair Value Measurements
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate fair value.
We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, inventory, notes payable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities approximate fair value given their short-term nature or effective interest rates. We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis.
Revenue Recognition
The Company implemented ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. These included the development of new policies based on the five-step model provided in the new revenue standard, ongoing contract review requirements, and gathering of information provided for disclosures.
The Company recognizes revenue and cost of goods sold from product sales or services rendered when control of the promised goods are transferred to our clients in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: identify the contract with the client, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
NOTE 3 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 4 – Going Concern
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has reported recurring losses from operations and has net current liabilities and an accumulated deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
While the Company is attempting to continue operations and generate revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement the Company’s business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022 due to lack of revenues the officers of the Company paid for all expenses through loans to the Company. This allowed the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 10 - Subsequent Events
Coronavirus Impact (COVID-19)
Due to the recent outbreak of the coronavirus reported in many countries worldwide, local and federal governments have issued travel advisories, canceled large scale public events and closed schools. In addition, companies have begun to cancel conferences and travel plans and require employees to work from home.
