NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Beyond Commerce, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” and “our”), has a planned business objective to develop, acquire, and deploy disruptive strategic software technology and market-changing business models through selling our own products and the acquisitions of existing companies. The Company currently owns and operates a data company and is actively seeking acquisition opportunities in high growth sectors such as psychedelics, cryptocurrency, ESports and Logistics among others.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 included herein include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary Service 800 Inc., and Customer Centered Strategies, LLC (“CCS”), which the Company has an 80% investment interest.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
NOTE 2. SELECTED ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Statements
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three (3) months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, reflect all adjustments including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are included in the Company’s December 31, 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2022. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the three (3) months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2022.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates are used in the determination of depreciation and amortization and the valuation for non-cash issuances of equity instruments, income taxes, and contingencies, among others. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 606-10, Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue as we transfer control of deliverables (products, solutions and services) to our customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which we expect to be entitled. To recognize revenue, we apply the following five step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. We account for a contract based on the terms and conditions the parties agree to, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience.
The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated by the completion of a survey. Revenue is recognized and customers are billed at the point in time a survey occurs or when a related service is complete. The Company may require a deposit from new customers for set up costs or as down payments. These amounts are not significant to the financial statements.
Valuation of Derivative Instruments
ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. Upon conversion of a note where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability, the Company records the shares at fair value, relieves all related notes, derivatives and debt discounts, and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company reviews all of the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s updates periodically to ensure the Company’s compliance of its accounting policies and disclosure requirements to the Codification Topics.
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard (ASU 2020-06) to reduce the complexity of accounting for convertible debt and other equity-linked instruments. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas. As a result, the new standard may affect net income and EPS, and therefore performance measures, and increase debt levels which may impact debt covenant compliance.
ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption will be permitted.
The Company will continue to monitor these emerging issues to assess any potential future impact on its financial statements. The Company has taken the position that any future standards will not be disclosed to the extent they are not material to our operations.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using GAAP, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Because of recent events, the Company cannot state with certainty of its ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficit, and negative cash flows from operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management is taking steps to raise additional funds to address its operating and financial cash requirements to continue operations in the next twelve months. Management has devoted a significant amount of time in attempting to raise capital from additional debt and equity financing. Due to its nominal revenues, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional funds through debt and equity financing and generating revenue, including through the acquisition of Service 800 and CCS or through a merger transaction with a well-capitalized entity. There are no assurances the Company will receive the necessary funding or generate revenue necessary to fund operations. If we are unable to obtain additional funds, or if the funds cannot be obtained on terms favorable to us, we will be required to delay, scale back or eliminate our plans to continue to develop and expand our operations or in the extreme situation, cease operations altogether.

Legal Matters
A complaint against the Company, dated February 5, 2020, has been filed in Hennepin County, Minnesota, by Jean Mork Bredeson, the former President and former owner of Service 800, making certain claims related to
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, states that a firm must distinguish between losses that are probable, reasonably probable or remote. If a contingent liability is deemed probable, it must be directly reported in the financial statements. In July 2010, the FASB issued ASC 450-20 that updated the Standard and uses “probable,” “reasonably possible,” and “remote” to determine the likelihood of the future event that will confirm a loss, an impairment of an asset, or the incurrence of a liability.
Accrual of a loss contingency is required when (1) it is probable that a loss has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (2) the amount can be reasonably estimated. No accrual has been made in the above matter as the determination is that a loss is not probable as of March 31, 2022 nor can a loss be reasonably estimated.

In addition to the above, from time to time, we may be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. Other than as set forth above, we are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Other than as set forth above, to our knowledge, 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 our executive officers or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or any of our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
Operating Lease
We currently lease virtual office space at 3773 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite: 500 Las Vegas, NV 89169. We pay an annual fee of $
The public entity guidance in ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) requires lessees to recognize substantially all leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with a corresponding right-of-use asset. Our accounting policy is to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheet.
The Company leases office space under an operating lease. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments under the lease. Operating lease, right-of-use assets, and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term. The implicit rates with the Company’s operating leases are generally not determinable and the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payments. The determination of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate requires judgement. The company determines its incremental borrowing rate for each lease using its then-current borrowing rate. Certain of the Company’s leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company establishes the number of renewal options periods used in determining the operating lease term based upon its assessment at the inception of the operating lease. The option to renew the lease may be automatic, at the option of the Company, or mutually agreed to between the landlord and the Company. Once the facility lease term has begun, the present value of the aggregate future minimum lease payments is recorded as a right-of-use asset.
Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. There are no options to extend or terminate the leases. The Company has no other leases yet to commence.

NOTE 9. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
The Company follows ASC 260-10, which requires presentation of basic and diluted Earnings per Share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying consolidated financial statements, basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Basic net income (loss) per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

Factors that could cause differences include, but are not limited to, expected market demand for our products, fluctuations in pricing for our products, and competition. 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 throughout, the words “may”, “will”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan”, or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

About Beyond Commerce
Beyond Commerce, Inc. was formed as a Nevada corporation on January 12, 2006.We are focused on business combinations of “big data” companies in global B2B internet marketing analytics, technologies and services. The Company’s objective is to develop and deploy disruptive strategic software technology that will build on organic growth potential and to exploit cross-selling opportunities. We plan to offer a cohesive global digital product and services platform to provide clients with a single point of contact for their big data, marketing and related sales initiatives. We believe our business model will ensure that information will remain secure and private, as necessitated by the current market climate.
In addition, we provide solutions which facilitate the exchange of information and data transactions between supply chain participants, such as manufacturers, retailers, distributors and financial institutions, with the ultimate goal of automating potential client internal processes thereby increasing productivity and lowering costs. We plan to develop proprietary algorithms which it will embed in the planned software to enable clients to access data and gain insight into their business, through that data, leading to improved internal decision making.
The Company currently owns and operates a data company and is actively seeking acquisition opportunities in high growth sectors such as psychedelics, cryptocurrency, ESports and Logistics among others. The Company’s strategy is to identify companies in the early stages of development or growth, acquire them and provide these companies capital in order to accelerate their development and growth with the intention to ultimately sell these companies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Through our Service 800 Inc. subsidiary, many of our clients, such as GE Healthcare, Audiology System, Inc., 3M Healthcare, Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Albany Molecular Research Inc., Sakura Finetek, Abbott Diagnostics, Biosense Webster, a Johnson & Johnson Company and Medtronic to name a few took the time during the pandemic to begin strategic planning with Service 800 to grow their business with the Company through renewals, expansion, and developing better ways to grow our programs with each and every one of them for the future. This select market segment continues to be a major source of revenue for the Company as we expand our services within this business segment. Renewals have been strong during the last nine months, and we anticipate revenue getting back in line with exceeding our expectations as we progress further into the year. All renewals that have taken place are on a minimum of a one to two-year term with an auto renewal taking place when the contract expires. The pandemic helped our customers recognize the value that Service 800 brings to its clients in the form of providing valuable information to not only help their growth within their own companies, but also help them be better providers to their customers as well. We continue to look forward to growth into each division of these companies and expansion to exceed expectations that have been set. We value these customers and seek to achieve positive growth we have set for the remainder of the year and moving onwards for future years to come.
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021
Revenue
Revenue generated for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $1,009,408 compared to $1,113,519 from the comparable three-month period in 2021.
Operating Expenses
For three months ended March 31, 2022, operating expenses were $1,560,953 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, operating expenses were $1,617,759. This decrease is primarily due to a reduction in costs of revenue offset in part by an increase in payroll expense of $51,819, which is attributable to stock based compensation from common stock issued pursuant to employment agreement.
Non-Operating Income (Expense)
The Company reported non-operating income expense of $99,844 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $5,790,805 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, attributable principally to the reduction in derivative liability related expenses of $5,662,995 and a reduction in interest expense of $27,996.
Net Income (loss)
Loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $551,545 and 504,240, respectively. For three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $646,802 as compared to a net loss of $6,290,109 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease of net loss between the two periods is primarily due to the recognition of derivative related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve (12) months.
Going Concern
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
As of March 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $68,455,400 and a working capital deficit of $4,144,320. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to continue relying upon the issuance of debt and equity securities to finance our operations. In this regard, we are restricted by the number of shares available for issuance in an equity financing, and we will likely need to increase our authorized capital in order to take advantage of such financing. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining shareholder approval to increase our authorized capital, that we will be successful in raising the funds necessary to maintain operations, or that a self-supporting level of operations will ever be achieved. The likely outcome of these future events is indeterminable. Our financial statements do not include any adjustment to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of the assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should we cease to continue as a going concern.
| 6 |
| Table of Contents |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and implement our business plan. Since inception, we have been funded by related parties through capital investment and borrowing of funds.
We had total current assets of $1,330,116 and $1,607,347 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Current assets would consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company had a $65,455,400 accumulated deficit on its balance sheet as of March 31, 2022.
We had total current liabilities of $5,474,436 and $5,414,772 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Current liabilities consisted primarily of the derivative liability, accounts payable, accrued payroll and payroll taxes, related party debt, conventional and convertible debt, lease liability, accrued loss contingency, and accrued interest. In the current three months there were approximate increases in accrued interest of $130,000, in accounts payable of $69,000 and in accrued payroll liabilities of $57,000. Short-term borrowings – related party decreased by $150,000 due to the partial conversion on the note for stock, and the value of derivative liabilities decreased by $48,000.
We had a working capital deficit of $4,144,320 and $3,807,425 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which decrease is mainly due to the use of cash or a decrease in cash on hand during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, cash used in operating activities was $358,912 and $442,360 respectively.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
No cash was used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, cash provided by financing activities was $0 and $1,775,000, respectively, which represents $625,000 in cash from the PPP loan received by the Company, $150,000 from a SBA loan and $1,000,000 in cash from the sale of preferred stock.
Contractual Obligations
As a “smaller reporting company,” we are not required to provide tabular disclosure of contractual obligations.
Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future.
| 7 |
| Table of Contents |
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, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.
Seasonality
In the past, our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to seasonal variations. This pattern may change, however, in the event that we succeed in bringing our planned products to market.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate past judgments and our estimates, including those related to allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory write-downs and write offs, deferred income taxes, provision for contractual obligations and our ability to continue as a going concern. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, describes the critical accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. There were no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable to a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of SEC Regulation S-K.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls were not effective.
As funds become available to us, we expect to implement additional measures to improve disclosure controls and procedures such as implementing and documenting our internal controls procedures.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and its Principal Financial Officer, do not expect that the Company’s controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and these breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
A complaint against the Company, dated February 5, 2020, has been filed in Hennepin County, Minnesota, by Jean Mork Bredeson, the former President and former owner of Service 800, making certain claims related to the Company’s acquisition of Service 800, seeking in excess of $1.6 million in damages. On March 16, 2020, the Company and Service 800 filed an answer, counterclaim and third-party claim against Ms. Bredeson and defendants Allen Bredeson and Jeff Schwedinger, former employees of Service 800. Answers and Affirmative and Additional Defenses to Third Party Claims were filed by Ms. Bredeson on April 7, 2020 and by Mr. Schwedinger on April 9, 2020 and, on April 24, 2020, Ms. Bredeson filed a Motion to Dismiss. The Court denied in full Ms. Bredeson’s motion to dismiss or for a more definite statement. Subsequently, using a wholly owned entity she controls, Ms. Bredeson filed another matter, captioned Green Valley Associates Inc. vs Service 800 Inc., 27-CV-20-13800. Although Ms. Bredeson is seeking to have the matters handled by separate judges, the Company sought consolidation of the two matters before Judge Klein, the judge who denied Ms. Bredeson’s motion to dismiss, but the consolidation was denied. Ms. Bredeson also has since filed, and then withdrawn, other motions, without allowing them to reach Judge Klein. Ms. Bredeson’s motion for summary judgment was ruled against by Judge Klein. The discovery has closed in both cases. On March 14, 2022 the judge granted the Company’s motion for sanctions against Bredeson for spoilation of documents that were likely to be relevant in the case. The judge also found that we were likely to be prejudiced by her conduct, so a sanction was warranted. On March 23, 2022 the judge granted the plaintiff’s motion for reimbursement of legal services by the Company incurred in opposing counterclaims brought by the Company in the amount of $95,506 as allowed by Minnesota statutes.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, states that a firm must distinguish between losses that are probable, reasonably probable or remote. If a contingent liability is deemed probable, it must be directly reported in the financial statements. In July 2010, the FASB issued ASC 450-20 that updated the Standard and uses “probable,” “reasonably possible,” and “remote” to determine the likelihood of the future event that will confirm a loss, an impairment of an asset, or the incurrence of a liability.
Accrual of a loss contingency is required when (1) it is probable that a loss has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (2) the amount can be reasonably estimated. No accrual has been made in the above matter as the determination is that a loss is not probable as of March 31, 2022 nor can a loss be reasonably estimated.
