PART I
| ITEM 1. | BUSINESS |
Overview
Since the acquisition of Global Stem Cell Group in August of 2021, our focus has been mainly dedicated to its operations serving the markets in the regenerative medicine industry. On October 28, 2022, we entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Subsidiary with our prior officer and director, Mr. Melvin Pereira, pursuant to which we agreed to sell Mr. Pereira 100% of our interest in Meso Numismatics Corp., a Florida corporation. As a result of this transaction, we are no longer engaged in the sale of coins, paper currency, bullion and medals and we have moved into what we believe is a more lucrative opportunity for our company, the operations of Global Stem Cell Group.
We believe stem cell therapy is becoming an increasingly effective clinical solution for treating conditions that traditional or conventional medicine only offers within palliative care and pain management. Patients around the world are seeking a natural regenerative alternative without the potential risks and side effects sometimes associated with conventional pharmaceuticals.
We work with doctors and their staff to provide products, solutions, equipment, services, and training to help them be successful in the application of Stem Cell Therapies. Our team combines solutions from extensive clinical research with the manufacturing and commercialization of viable cell therapy and immune support related products that we believe will change the course of traditional medicine around the world forever. Our strategy allows us the ability to create immediate revenue streams through product sales, distribution, and clinical applications, driven by our extensive education platform. Our revenue comes directly from the training and the seminars, from the resale of these kits, products, and equipment, services, and from the reoccurring application of our process using the kits and solutions we provide.
Global Stem Cells Group is a leader in the Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine fields, covering clinical research, patient applications, along with physician training through our state-of-the-art global network of companies. The Company’s mission is to enable physicians to make the benefits of stem cell medicine a reality for patients around the world. They have been educating doctors on the science and application of cell-based therapeutics for the past 10 years. Our professional trademarked association “ISCCA” INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR STEM CELL APPLICATION is a global network of medical professionals that leverages these multinational relationships to build best practices and further our mission.
The Company envisions the ability to improve “health-span” through the discovery and developments of new cellular therapy products, and cutting-edge technology.
Global Stem Cells Group, as almost everyone else in the world, was severely affected by the covid 19 pandemic. As we have been recovering in 2022 and into 2023, we are integrating every aspect of the regenerative medicine industry. During 2023, we plan to continue to add manufacturing and commercialization of viable cell therapy and immune support related products that we believe will change the course of traditional medicine around the world forever.
We believe this strategy will allow us the ability to increase our current revenues and create immediate revenue streams through product sales, distribution, and clinical applications, driven by our extensive education platform here are our main projects and revenue generators for 2023 and beyond.

Cell Therapy Product Manufacturing Facility in Cancun Mexico
The Cancun facility that began operations in July of 2022 has been accredited both by the Mexican General Health Council and Cofepris (Mexican FDA). GSCG’s processing operation is in the well-known HELLIMEX, S.A. DE CV building, a high-rise office of leased suites that provide a multitude of other professional services. We continue to grow this operation with a new ISSCA Regenerative Medicine Conference in April this year.
We have assembled a highly qualified team of medical professionals and technicians that specialize in GSCG’s processes, solutions, and services. Our processing facilities in Cancun are top-notch, and include a laboratory to culture-expand cells, a process that yields better patient results, and a cryopreservation unit to keep these extracted samples stored safely until they are needed. This Laboratory/ Treatment Center has the latest technologies available including NK Cell Therapy CAR T-cell for cancer treatment and produce full Lines of Msc and Exosomes. Our model is to work hand-in-hand with the patients’ physicians to provide a total quality experience in this innovative industry. Our revenue is derived from training doctors, providing services to each patient that these doctors bring to us for treatments, and the solutions and products they utilize.
Cell Therapy Product manufacturing facility in Dubai UAE
Similar to Cancun, we are continuing the process of building out a leased suite and equipping this facility in the well-known healthcare city DUBAI UAE. This facility will serve patients and physicians from the Middle East and Asia and will have the same capabilities as our Cancun counterpart.
Regenerative Medicine Clinic in Mexico City
To achieve our expansion plans, our organization is partnering with healthcare providers specializing in regenerative medicine with at least five years of experience in the healthcare sector.
This collaboration with STEM LIFE clinic’s new facility and Dr. Vanessa Rodriguez Pares, currently one of the most prestigious aesthetic clinics in Mexico City, which is expected to promote a high level of service in regenerative medicine throughout Mexico. As part of this effort, ISSCA has granted an affiliation and the use of their brand, products, therapies, and training on how to apply stem cell therapies to Dr. Vanessa Rodriguez Peers.
The opening of this center, which will include the construction of an autologous tissue processing laboratory and an allogeneic tissue bank, is expected to help transition stem cell therapies and regenerative medicines from being an elective procedure to being accessible to patients throughout Mexico.
Products
Solidifying and increasing our Presence worldwide www.cellgenic.com, we are completing our new catalog of Cell Therapy products manufactured completely in house as opposed of our previous re seller model. This new series of products include:
| ● | CELLGENIC FLOW EXOSOMES This is the company’s flagship product, which stands ready to revolutionize the practice of regenerative medicine as we know it today. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that float freely within the blood, very much like platelets. These are cell-derived non-particles that play a pivotal role in cell-to-cell communication that are involved in a wide range of physiological processes. Exosomes play an important role in the transfer of proteins and other bioactive molecules between cells and regulate gene expression in recipient cells, thus influencing various molecular pathways and have a wide range of therapeutic implications, including hair loss and pain management. |
| ● | CELLGENIC MSC (Mesenchymal Stem Cell) This product excretes growth factors, cytokines, and proteins, which all play a key role in the regeneration of tissue. Their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties mean that it is difficult for them to be rejected by the body. Additionally, they increase blood flow to the vital organs that need it the most. MSC has immunomodulatory effects that have an effect on macrophages, neutrophils, NK cells, mast cells and dendritic cells in innate immunity with known anti-inflammatory benefits. |
| ● | CELLGENIC LUMA (Lyophilized Exosomes) is derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and includes potent growth factors, peptides, coenzymes, minerals, amino acids, vitamins and UV radiation reducing agents for skin revitalization. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles, which is the medical term for tiny bubbles that are released from stem cells. Exosomes carry genetic information and proteins to cells throughout your body, and they create paths for communication between cells to help combat aging skin, environmental damage and loss of elasticity and tone. |
2
| ● | VITANOVAS is a mobile IV infusion company that provides in-home treatments to patients in need of immune modulation to help fight infections, viruses, and diseases. |
| ● | GCELL RESTORE GCell technology is a closed-system medical device that harnesses the natural and powerful restorative capabilities of adipose tissue. It is a cutting-edge tool that utilizes micrograft technology to harness the natural and powerful restorative capabilities of adipose tissues. This is a precise system that is able to process a stem cell sample from adipose tissue in less than half of the time that it would take a physician to do so through traditional means. This allows the patient to be more comfortable throughout the shorter procedure, as less anesthesia is also required than when operating under traditional means. The GCell is a minimally invasive, portable machine that allows physicians to fully unlock the potential of regenerative medicine as a component in their practice. |
| ● | CELLGENIC SVF is an isolation kit system that has all the ingredients and consumables for the extraction of adipose-Derived Stem cells from fat. This complete kit it is currently being used in clinical procedures for lung disease, intra-articular injections for osteoarthritis of the knee and hip, cosmetic surgery, dermal injection, stem cell enriched fat transfer, wounds chronic ulcers among other chronic conditions. |
| ● | CELLGENIC BONE MARROW Cell isolation protocols usually include density gradient centrifugation. With careful attention to detail the BMC system gently and precisely processes bone marrow aspirate for the purest concentration of these cells at the point of care. BMC is part of a developmental effort to provide an effective therapy that is low risk. It recovers a large percentage of platelet rich plasma and other total nucleated cells in a treatment sample. It is a closed system with strong performance outcomes and outstanding product stability. |
| ● | CELLGENIC PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is used to encourage healing and reduce inflammation. As a concentrated source of autologous platelets, PRP contains several growth factors and other cytokines that can stimulate the healing of soft tissues. |
Global Stem Cells Group’s future is looking bright as we look to bounce back from the pandemic effect on our operations. We are uniquely positioned to reach our revenue goals due to our global presence and network of independent businesses. We stand positioned to give the world access to the full spectrum of everything regenerative medicine can offer-- from being a source for products themselves, to sourcing equipment, to treating patients. We are able to do this because of our decade of experience in the field, and because of the world-class leadership and organization of the Group.
Leaders in stem cell medicine trust the high quality of Global Stem Cells Group’s world-class stem cell therapies, and physicians all over the world have come to value it as a trusted source for the newest ground-breaking research and development in the field of regenerative Medicine.
Patents and Proprietary Rights
We are committed to the protection of our intellectual property of proprietary products and process as well as trademarks and other methods described below.
Our business includes the development of proprietary cell therapy products as well as revenue generating physician and patient based regenerative medicine / cell therapy training services, cell collection and cell storage services, the sale of cell collection and treatment kits for humans and animals, and the operation of a cell therapy clinic.
On February 19, 2019, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) filed US service trademark, 5,682,488 which claims exclusive us of “ISCCA” as INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR STEM CELL APPLICATION to Stem Cell Training Inc a Florida Corporation.
On April 30, 2019, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) granted US service trademark, 5,739,089 which claims exclusive us of “ISCCA” as INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR STEM CELL APPLICATION to Stem Cell Training Inc a Florida Corporation.
We own proprietary protocols for the harvesting and isolation of Stem Cells Derived from the adipose tissue and Bone marrow.
We also own proprietary standard operating procedures for the manufacturing of allogeneic cellular therapy products derived from perinatal tissue.
3
None of these protocols or IP have been patented. We rely on our own trade secrets and proprietary know-how to protect our technology and maintain our competitive position, since patent protection may not be available or applicable to our technology. Our policy is to require each of our employees, consultants and advisors to execute a confidentiality and inventions assignment agreement before beginning their employment, consulting or advisory relationship with us. The agreements generally provide that the individual must keep confidential and not disclose to other parties any confidential information developed or learned by the individual during the course of the individual’s relationship with us except in limited circumstances. These agreements generally also provide that we shall own all inventions conceived by the individual in the course of rendering services to us. Moreover, some of our collaborators and scientific advisors have rights to publish data and information to which we have rights, which may impair our ability to protect our proprietary information or obtain patent protection in the future.
We work with others in our research and development activities and one of our strategies is to enter into collaborative agreements with third parties to develop our proposed products. Disputes may arise about inventorship and corresponding rights in know-how and inventions resulting from the joint creation or use of intellectual property by us and our licensors, collaborators, consultants and others. In addition, other parties may circumvent any proprietary protection we do have. As a result, we may not be able to maintain our proprietary position.
We are not currently a party to any litigation or other adverse proceeding challenging our patents, patent licenses or intellectual property rights. However, if we become involved in litigation or any other adverse intellectual property proceeding, for example, as a result of an alleged infringement, or a third party alleging an earlier date of invention, we may have to spend significant amounts of money and time and, in the event of an adverse ruling, we could be subject to liability for damages, including treble damages, invalidation of our intellectual property and injunctive relief that could prevent us from using technologies or developing products, any of which could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
In addition, any claims relating to the infringement of third party proprietary rights, or earlier date of invention, even if not meritorious, could result in costly litigation, lengthy governmental proceedings, divert management’s attention and resources and require us to enter royalty or license agreements which are not advantageous, if available at all.
Competition
We face competitors in many different segments of our business models. We face intense competition from companies with much larger capital resources than us, and, as a result, we could struggle to attract customers and gain market share. Many of our existing or future competitors have greater financial resources and greater brand name recognition than we do and, as a result, may be better positioned to adapt to changes in the industry or the economy as a whole. We will strive to advance our products and technology in each of these sectors ahead of our competitors to gain market share. We also face intense competition in attracting and retaining qualified employees. Our ability to continue to compete effectively will depend upon our ability to attract new employees, retain and motivate our existing employees and to compensate employees competitively. We face significant competition in several aspects of our business, and such competition might increase, particularly in the market for regenerative therapies.
Our competitors may announce new products, services or enhancements that better address changing industry standards on regenerative care. Any such increased competition could cause pricing pressure, loss of business or decreased customer purchases, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results.
We believe that we have competitive strengths and protection via our depth of services and products that we offer in the regenerative medicine field, including, but without limitation to, cell therapy products, isolation systems, physician training, laboratory build outs, medical tourism, and more.
While there are particular or specific competitors in any one of these areas, no one is currently providing the full service one stop solution for such a complete range of offerings in this industry as we are.
Furthermore, we compete by becoming a resource, creating standards of practice, advancing the Stem Cell field in general, and by connecting associates and partners in many different aspects of the business.

Government Regulations
Although Stem Cell therapy is heavily regulated in the US by the Food and Drug Administration, Global Stem Cells group does not focus its business portfolio in US markets. To this end, we have suspended operations in the US. As such, we are not constrained by FDA regulatory jurisdictions. We now operate exclusively in countries where clear regulatory pathways to manufacturing and practice exist.
Marketing
Global Stem Cell Group uses its vast network of professionals in the regenerative and therapeutic industries to market and grow our business. Training seminars held on location in more than a dozen international locations have helped drive the attraction that is bringing new business to our group. The ISCCA is our professional association and is a global network of medical professionals that leverages these multinational relationships to build best practices and further our mission. Our physician training services educate and generate continued reoccurring demand for our solutions, services, and products.
The more we educate physicians about our products and services, the more physician referrals we have received. It has been a difficult task to introduce new methodologies to physicians with more traditional views, but word of mouth has played a crucial role in the growth of our company and our reputation in the industry. We believe our website will further expand our growth as new physicians have an easy-to-understand synopses of our how our products and services may assist with and benefit their patients. We believe that as our network of physicians widens, we will experience significant growth from repeat business from existing clients and with new business from patient referrals.
Employees
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 1 full-time employees. All other workforces are contractors, advisors, consultants, and/or vendors.
Corporate History
The Company was originally founded in 1999 as Spectrum Ventures LLC, a private company, registered in Tacoma, WA, for the purpose of developing, marketing and selling voice over IP products and services. In 2002, the Company changed its name to Nxtech Wireless Cable Systems, Inc. In August 2007, the Company changed its name to Oriens Travel & Hotel Management Corp. In November 2014, the Company changed its name to Pure Hospitality Solutions, Inc. During 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company deemed it in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to switch directions and become involved in the business of numismatics, specifically the collection and ultimately the sale of coins, paper currency, bullion and medals. On November 21, 2016 the Company (formerly known as Pure Hospitality Solutions, Inc. a Nevada corporation) entered into an agreement with Meso Numismatics, Corp., a Florida corporation. The respective Boards of Directors of the Pure Hospitality Solutions, Inc. and Meso Numismatics, Corp., at that time, determined that it was advisable and to the advantage of and the best interests of Pure Hospitality Solutions, Inc. and its shareholders and Meso Numismatics, Corp. and its stockholders that Meso Numismatics, Corp. merge with and into Pure Hospitality Solutions, Inc. (the “Merger”). It was at that time, Mr. Melvin Pereira, our prior Chief Executive Officer, who controlled both, Pure Hospitality Solutions, Inc. and Meso Numismatics, Corp. that the Company acquired common control of Meso Numismatics, Corp. and the assets there held. At the completion of the Merger, Meso Numismatics Corp. ceased to exist. In September of 2018 the Company effected a name change and changed its name from Pure Hospitality Solutions, Inc. to Meso Numismatics, Inc.

| Item 1A. | Risk Factors. |
You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this registration statement before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated herein that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, you may lose all or part of your investment. In addition to other information in this registration statement and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating our business as they may have a significant impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. Because of the following factors, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, past financial performance should not be considered as a reliable indicator of future performance and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a limited operating history.
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 2001 and has engaged in limited operations to date. Accordingly, the Company has only a limited operating history with which you can evaluate its business and prospects. An investor in the Company must consider its business and prospects in light of the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies, including limited capital, delays in product development, possible marketing and sales obstacles and delays, inability to gain customer and merchant acceptance or inability to achieve significant distribution of our products and services to customers. The Company cannot be certain that it will successfully address these risks. Its failure to address any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on its business.
THE REPORT OF OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM CONTAINS AN EXPLANATORY PARAGRAPH THAT EXPRESSES SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and for the year then ended indicates that our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. The report states that, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Our plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2 to our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the years then ended.
Our ability to generate the significant amount of cash needed to service our debt obligations and our ability to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness or obtain additional financing depends on many factors, many of which may be beyond our control.
Our ability to make scheduled payments on, or to refinance our obligations under, our debt, will depend on our financial and operating performance, which, in turn, will be subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to the financial and business factors, many of which may be beyond our control. We cannot guarantee that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, that currently anticipated business opportunities will be realized on schedule or at all, or that future borrowings will be available to us in amounts sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness and any amounts borrowed under future credit facilities, or to fund our other liquidity needs.
We will use cash to pay the principal and interest on our debt. These payments limit funds otherwise available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, collaborations and other purposes. As a result of these obligations, our current liabilities may exceed our current assets. We may need to take on additional debt as we expand our presence in the global stem cell industry, which could increase our ratio of debt to equity. The need to service our debt may limit funds available for other purposes and our inability to service debt in the future could lead to acceleration of our debt and foreclosure on assets.
6
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness or obtain additional financing, particularly because of our anticipated high levels of indebtedness and the indebtedness incurrence restrictions imposed by the agreements governing our indebtedness, as well as prevailing market conditions. We may face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our indebtedness service and other obligations.
The lending documents restrict, and any agreements governing future indebtedness may restrict, our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from any such dispositions. We cannot guarentee we will be able to consummate any asset sales, or if we do, what the timing of the sales will be or whether the proceeds that we realize will be adequate to meet indebtedness service obligations when due.
Some of Our Potential Cell Therapy Products and Technologies Are In Early Stages Of Development.
The development of new cell therapy products is a highly risky undertaking, and there can be no assurance that any future research and development efforts we may undertake will be successful. Our potential products will require extensive additional research and development and perhaps regulatory approval before any commercial introduction. There can be no assurance that any future research, development and clinical trial efforts will result in viable products or meet efficacy standards.
All of Revenue is Derived from Customers Outside the United States, and We may Lose Revenues and Market Share due to Exchange Rate Fluctuations and Political and Economic Changes Related to Foreign Business.
All of our revenue comes from customers outside of the United States. Any US company conducting foreign business is always subject to economic, political and regulatory uncertainties and risks that are unique to each area of the world. Fluctuations in exchange rates may also affect the prices that foreign customers are willing to pay, and may put us at a price disadvantage compared to other competitors. Potentially volatile shifts in exchange rates may negatively affect our financial position and results.
We may be Exposed to Liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and any Determination that we Violated these Laws could have a Material Adverse Effect on our Business.
We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective and our employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
WE COMPETE WITH A NUMBER OF COMPANIES IN OUR SPACE AND FACE INCREASED COMPETITION FROM SUCH COMPANIES.
In our global cell therapy operations, we face competitors in many different segments of our business models. We face intense competition from companies with much larger capital resources than us, and, as a result, we could struggle to attract customers and gain market share. Some of our existing or future competitors have greater financial resources and greater brand name recognition than we do and, as a result, may be better positioned to adapt to changes in the industry or the economy as a whole. We will strive to advance our products and technology in each of these sectors ahead of our competitors to gain market share. We also face intense competition in attracting and retaining qualified employees. Our ability to continue to compete effectively will depend upon our ability to attract new employees, retain and motivate our existing employees and to compensate employees competitively. We face significant competition in several aspects of our business, and such competition might increase, particularly in the market for regenerative therapies.
Our competitors may announce new products, services or enhancements that better address changing industry standards on regenerative care. Any such increased competition could cause pricing pressure, loss of business or decreased customer purchases, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results.
7
We believe that we have competitive strengths and protection via our depth of services and products, and our continually expanding global footprint, that we offer in the regenerative medicine field, including, but without limitation to, cell therapy products, isolation systems, physician training, laboratory build outs, medical tourism, and more.
While there are particular or specific competitors in any one of these areas, no one is currently providing the full service one stop solution for such a complete range of offerings in this industry as we are.
Furthermore, we compete by becoming a resource, creating standards of practice, advancing the Stem Cell field in general, and by connecting associates and partners in many different aspects of the business.
If we should in the future become required to obtain regulatory approval to market and sell our pRODUCTS AND services we will not be able to generate any revenues until such approval is received.
The medical industry is subject to stringent regulation by a wide range of authorities. Although Stem Cell therapy is heavily regulated in the US by the Food and Drug Administration, we do not focus our business portfolio in U.S. markets. To this end, we have suspended operations in the U.S. As such, we are not constrained by FDA regulatory jurisdictions. We now operate exclusively in countries where clear regulatory pathways to manufacturing and practice exist.
However, while we are not presently required to obtain regulatory approval in regulated markets, such as the U.S., to create, market and sell our products and services we cannot predict whether regulatory clearance will be required in the future and, if so, whether such clearance will at such time be obtained, whether for the products and services that we have commercialized or may attempt to develop. Should such regulatory approval in the future be required, our products and services may be suspended or may not be able to be marketed and sold until we have completed the regulatory clearance process as and if implemented by the FDA or similar foreign regulatory entities. Satisfaction of regulatory requirements typically takes many years, is dependent upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product or service and would require the expenditure of substantial resources.
If regulatory clearance of products and services is granted, this clearance may be limited to those particular states and conditions for which the products and services are demonstrated to be safe and effective, which would limit our ability to generate revenue.
We cannot ensure that any products and services developed by us will meet all of the applicable regulatory requirements needed to receive marketing clearance. Failure to obtain regulatory approval will prevent commercialization of our products and services where such clearance is necessary. There can be no assurance we will obtain regulatory approval of our products and services that may require it.
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property from infringement by third parties, and third parties may claim that we are infringing on their intellectual property, either of which could materially and adversely affect us.
We intend to rely on patent protection, trade secrets, technical know-how and continuing technological innovation to protect our intellectual property, and we expect to require any employees, consultants and advisors that we may hire or engage in the future to execute confidentiality and assignment of inventions agreements in connection with their employment, consulting or advisory relationships. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will not be breached or that we will have adequate remedies for any such breach.
Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our intellectual property or may develop intellectual property competitive with ours. Our competitors may independently develop similar technology or otherwise duplicate our products and services. As a result, we may have to litigate to enforce and protect our intellectual property rights to determine their scope, validity or enforceability. Intellectual property litigation is particularly expensive, time-consuming, diverts the attention of management and technical personnel and could result in substantial cost and uncertainty regarding our future viability. The loss of intellectual property protection or the inability to secure or enforce intellectual property protection would limit our ability to produce and/or market our products and services in the future and would likely have an adverse effect on any revenues we may in the future be able to generate by the sale or license of such intellectual property.
8
We may be subject to costly litigation in the event our future services or technology infringe upon another party’s proprietary rights. Third parties may have, or may eventually be issued, patents that would be infringed by our technology. Any of these third parties could make a claim of infringement against us with respect to our technology. We may also be subject to claims by third parties for breach of copyright, trademark or license usage rights. Any such claims and any resulting litigation could subject us to significant liability for damages or injunctions precluding us from utilizing our technology or services or marketing or selling any products or services under the same. An adverse determination in any litigation of this type could require us to design around a third party’s patent, license alternative technology from another party or otherwise result in limitations in our ability to use the intellectual property subject to such claims.
Risks and Uncertainties Associated with Our Expansion Into and Our Operations Outside of the United States May Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations, Cash Flow, Liquidity or Financial Condition
These challenges include: (1) compliance with complex and changing laws, regulations and policies of governments that may impact our operations, such as foreign ownership restrictions, import and export controls, tariffs, and trade restrictions; (2) compliance with U.S. and foreign laws that affect the activities of companies abroad, such as anti-corruption laws, competition laws, currency regulations, and laws affecting dealings with certain nations; (3) the difficulties involved in managing an organization doing business in many different countries; (4) rapid changes in government policy, acts of terrorism, or the threat of international boycotts or U.S. anti-boycott legislation; and (5) currency exchange rate fluctuations.
We may become subject to legal proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.
From time to time and in the ordinary course of our business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings. All such legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable and, regardless of the merits of the claims, litigation may be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive to our operations and distracting to management. If resolved against us, such legal proceedings could result in excessive verdicts, injunctive relief or other equitable relief that may affect how we operate our business. Similarly, if we settle such legal proceedings, it may affect how we operate our business. Future court decisions, alternative dispute resolution awards, business expansion or legislative activity may increase our exposure to litigation and regulatory investigations. In some cases, substantial noneconomic remedies or punitive damages may be sought. Although we maintain liability insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that such coverage will cover any particular verdict, judgment or settlement that may be entered against us, that such coverage will prove to be adequate or that such coverage will continue to remain available on acceptable terms, if at all. If we incur liability that exceeds our insurance coverage or that is not within the scope of the coverage in legal proceedings brought against us, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
| ● | Certification, licensing or regulatory requirements; | |
| ● | Unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; | |
| ● | Changes to or reduced protection of intellectual property rights in some countries |
We intend to continue strategic business acquisitions and other combinations, which are subject to inherent risks.
In order to expand our solutions, services, and grow our market and client base, we may continue to seek and complete strategic business acquisitions and other combinations that we believe are complementary to our business. Acquisitions have inherent risks which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results or prospects, including, but not limited to: 1) failure to successfully integrate the business and financial operations, services, intellectual property, solutions or personnel of an acquired business and to maintain uniform standard controls, policies and procedures; 2) diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns; 3) entry into markets in which we have little or no direct prior experience; 4) failure to achieve projected synergies and performance targets; 5) loss of clients or key personnel; 6) incurrence of debt or assumption of known and unknown liabilities; 7) write-off of software development costs, goodwill, client lists and amortization of expenses related to intangible assets; 8) dilutive issuances of equity securities; and, 9) accounting deficiencies that could arise in connection with, or as a result of, the acquisition of an acquired company, including issues related to internal control over financial reporting and the time and cost associated with remedying such deficiencies. If we fail to successfully integrate acquired businesses or fail to implement our business strategies with respect to these acquisitions, we may not be able to achieve projected results or support the amount of consideration paid for such acquired businesses.
9
Volatility and disruption resulting from global economic conditions could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Although certain indices and economic data have shown signs of stabilization in the United States and certain global markets, there can be no assurance that these improvements will be broad-based or sustainable, nor is it clear how, if at all, they will affect the markets relevant to us. As a result, our operating results may be impacted by the health of the global economy. Volatility and disruption in global capital and credit markets may lead to slowdowns or declines in client spending which could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Our business and financial performance, including new business bookings and collection of our accounts receivable, may be adversely affected by current and future economic conditions (including a reduction in the availability of credit, higher energy costs, rising interest rates, financial market volatility and lower than expected economic growth) that cause a slowdown or decline in client spending. Reduced purchases by our clients or changes in payment terms could adversely affect our revenue growth and cause a decrease in our cash flow from operations. Bankruptcies or similar events affecting clients may cause us to incur bad debt expense at levels higher than historically experienced. Further, volatility and disruption in global financial markets may also limit our ability to access the capital markets at a time when we would like, or need, to raise capital, which could have an impact on our ability to react to changing economic and business conditions. Accordingly, if global financial and economic volatility continues or worsens, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
If we are unable to manage our growth in the new markets in which we offer solutions or services, our business and financial results could suffer.
Our future financial results will depend in part on our ability to profitably manage our business in the new markets that we enter. Difficulties in managing future growth in new markets could have a significant negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Operations and Commercialization of Stem Cell Therapies is an exciting, new, and integral part of the emerging Regenerative Medicine market, BUT The field remains in its infancy.
As with all new technologies, products, practices and solutions, there are inherit risks related to our industry and business.
The field of stem cell therapy is relatively new, and not yet widely adopted by the medical community, and because of that infancy, it may have an adverse effect on our ability to reach potential physicians that are skeptical of the benefits or have questions about the risks, and thus, we may run into resistance in the marketing of our products and services. Stem cell therapies may be susceptible to various risks, including side effects, unintended immune system responses, inadequate therapeutic efficacy, and lack of acceptance by physicians, hospital, and the patients themselves.
Our experience and others have shown that physicians are historically slow to adopt new treatment methods based on new technologies, like ours, when existing and trusted methods continue to be supported by established practitioners. Overcoming these obstacles often requires significant marketing expenditures, product performance, cost cutting and/or decreased pricing. We believe the skepticism to be a significant barrier as we attempt to gain market penetration with our products and services. Failure to achieve market acceptance of our products and services would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Additionally, part of our success will depend on continuing to establish and maintain effective strategic partnerships and collaborations with our international partners, which may impose challenges, restrictions, and or financial impacts to our business.
As we apply our business strategy of establishing and maintaining strategic relationships, we believe this will allow us to expand and complement our products, training, support and commercialization capabilities. This we believe will allow us to reduce costs with greater economies of scale, and leverage a greater source of market intelligence, with crucial meta data gathered of Stem Cell Therapies applied to a full spectrum across global applications. Notwithstanding, there can be no assurances that we will favorably maintain all current or successfully add new relationships to successfully advance our business.
10
We rely heavily on our management, and the loss of their services could adversely affect our business.
Our success is highly dependent upon the continued services of our Chief Executive Officer, David Christensen. The loss of Mr. Christensen’s services would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its business operations.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT OUR GROWTH AND MARKETING STRATEGY SUCCESSFULLY OR ON A TIMELY BASIS OR AT ALL.
Our future success depends, in large part, on our ability to implement our growth strategy of expanding distribution and sales of our product portfolio, attracting new consumers and introducing new product lines and product extensions.
Our sales and operating results will be adversely affected if we fail to implement our growth strategy or if we invest resources in a growth strategy that ultimately proves unsuccessful.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
If our ability to register our Common Stock is limited, your ability to sell such shares may be subject to substantial restrictions, and you may be required to hold such shares for a period of time prior to sale, in which case you could suffer a substantial loss on such shares.
If our ability to register the resale of shares of our Common Stock is limited, you may not be able to sell your Common shares. There will be substantial restrictions on your ability to transfer any shares which are not registered for resale, and you may be required to hold the shares for some period of time.
OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE OR MAY DECLINE REGARDLESS OF OUR OPERATING PERFORMANCE, AND YOU MAY LOSE PART OR ALL OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate widely in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:
| ● | market conditions or trends in the dietary supplement industry or in the economy as a whole; |
| ● | actions by competitors; |
| ● | actual or anticipated growth rates relative to our competitors; |
| ● | the public’s response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including our filings with the SEC; |
| ● | economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance; |
| ● | any future guidance we may provide to the public, any changes in such guidance or any difference between our guidance and actual results; |
| ● | changes in financial estimates or recommendations by any securities analysts who follow our common stock; |
| ● | speculation by the press or investment community regarding our business; |
| ● | litigation; |
| ● | changes in key personnel; and |
| ● | future sales of our common stock by our officers, directors and significant shareholders. |
11
In addition, the stock markets, including the over-the-counter markets where we are quoted, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These broad market fluctuations may materially affect our stock price, regardless of our operating results. Furthermore, the market for our common stock historically has been limited and we cannot guarantee that a larger market will ever be developed or maintained. The price at which investors purchase shares of our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. Market fluctuations and volatility, as well as general economic, market and political conditions, could reduce our market price. As a result, these factors may make it more difficult or impossible for you to sell our common stock for a positive return on your investment. In the past, shareholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were involved in securities litigation, we could incur substantial costs and our resources and the attention of management could be diverted from our business.
FUTURE SALES OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK, OR THE PERCEPTION IN THE PUBLIC MARKETS THAT THESE SALES MAY OCCUR, MAY DEPRESS OUR STOCK PRICE.
The market price of our common stock could decline significantly as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock. In addition, if our significant shareholders sell a large number of shares, or if we issue a large number of shares, the market price of our stock could decline. Any issuance of additional common stock by us in the future, or warrants or options to purchase our common stock, if exercised, would result in dilution to our existing shareholders. Such issuances could be made at a price that reflects a discount or a premium to the then-current trading price of our common stock. Moreover, the perception in the public market that shareholders might sell shares of our stock or that we could make a significant issuance of additional common stock in the future could depress the market for our shares. These sales, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock or make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.
We have issued shares of common stock, options and convertible notes which are convertible into shares of our common stock in connection with our private placements and certain employment, director and consultant agreements. In addition, we issued shares of our common stock and convertible notes which are convertible into shares of our common stock, in financing transactions and pursuant to employment agreements that are deemed to be “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. From time to time, certain of our shareholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their restricted shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, subject to certain limitations. The resale pursuant to Rule 144 of shares acquired from us in private transactions could cause our stock price to decline significantly.
“PENNY STOCK” RULES MAY MAKE BUYING OR SELLING OUR COMMON STOCK DIFFICULT.
If the market price for our common stock is below $5.00 per share, trading in our common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules would require that any broker-dealer that would recommend our common stock to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations would require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our common stock.
12
POTENTIAL FUTURE FINANCINGS MAY DILUTE THE HOLDINGS OF OUR CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS.
In order to provide capital for the operation of our business, in the future we may enter into financing arrangements. These arrangements may involve the issuance of new shares of common stock, preferred stock that is convertible into common stock, debt securities that are convertible into common stock or warrants for the purchase of common stock. Any of these items could result in a material increase in the number of shares of common stock outstanding, which would in turn result in a dilution of the ownership interests of existing common shareholders. In addition, these new securities could contain provisions, such as priorities on distributions and voting rights, which could affect the value of our existing common stock.
WE CURRENTLY DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK. AS A RESULT, YOUR ONLY OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE A RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT IS IF THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK APPRECIATES.
We currently do not expect to declare or pay dividends on our common stock. In addition, in the future we may enter into agreements that prohibit or restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends on our common stock. As a result, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment will be if the market price of our common stock appreciates and you sell your shares at a profit.
YOU MAY EXPERIENCE DILUTION OF YOUR OWNERSHIP INTEREST DUE TO THE FUTURE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
We are in a capital intensive business and we do not have sufficient funds to finance the growth of or to support our projected capital expenditures. As a result, we will require additional funds from future equity or debt financings, including tax equity financing transactions or sales of preferred shares or convertible debt, to complete the development of new projects and pay the general and administrative costs of our business. We may in the future issue our previously authorized and unissued securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of holders of our common stock. We are currently authorized to issue 6,500,000,000 shares of common stock. The potential issuance of such additional shares of common stock or preferred stock or convertible debt may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. We may also issue additional shares of common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in future public offerings or private placements for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes. The future issuance of a substantial number of common shares into the public market, or the perception that such issuance could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common shares. A decline in the price of our common shares could make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of our common shares or securities convertible into common shares.
WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF CERTAIN OUTSTANDING CONVERTIBLE NOTES, AND THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH SHARES UPON EXERCISE OR CONVERSION WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT DILUTIVE IMPACT ON OUR STOCKHOLDERS. SALES OF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK FOLLOWING THE EXPIRATION OF LOCK-UPS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND THE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES WILL DILUTE ALL OTHER STOCKHOLDERS.
As of December 31, 2022, there were 103,500,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants.
In addition, our articles of incorporation, as amended, permits the issuance of up to 6,500,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Thus, we have the ability to issue substantial amounts of Common Stock in the future, which would dilute the percentage ownership held by stockholders.
13
FUTURE ISSUANCE OF OUR COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK, OPTIONS AND WARRANTS COULD DILUTE THE INTERESTS OF EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.
We may issue additional shares of our common stock, preferred stock, options and warrants in the future. The issuance of a substantial amount of common stock, options and warrants could have the effect of substantially diluting the interests of our current stockholders. In addition, the sale of a substantial amount of common stock or preferred stock in the public market, or the exercise of a substantial number of warrants and options either in the initial issuance or in a subsequent resale by the target company in an acquisition which received such common stock as consideration or by investors who acquired such common stock in a private placement could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
OUR SERIES AA HOLDERS POSSESS SIGNIFICANT VOTING POWER WITH RESPECT TO OUR VOTING STOCK, WHICH WILL LIMIT YOUR INFLUENCE ON CORPORATE MATTERS.
There are currently 50,000 shares of Series AA Preferred Stock held by David Christensen, the Company’s CEO. As a result of the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Series AA Preferred Stock to Benito Novas, a change of control has occurred. The amended certificate of designation for the Series AA Preferred Stock provides that all of the holders of the Series AA Preferred Stock together, voting separately as a class, shall have an aggregate vote equal to sixty-seven (67%) percent of the total vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders. The amended certificate of designation for the Series AA Preferred Stock further provides that a unanimous consent of the holders of Series AA Preferred Stock is necessary for, among other things, a change in control of the Company, requiring the votes of both Messrs. Christensen and Novas.
The holder of the Series AA Super Voting Preferred Stock shall have an aggregate vote equal to sixty-seven (67%) percent of the total vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders that each stockholder of the Corporation’s Common Stock is entitled to vote at each meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (and written actions of stockholders in lieu of meetings) with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action and consideration.
As a result, our insiders have the ability to significantly influence our management and affairs through the election and removal of our Board and all other matters requiring stockholder approval, including any future merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentrated voting power could discourage others from initiating any potential merger, takeover or other change-of-control transaction that may otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders. Furthermore, this concentrated control will limit the practical effect of your influence over our business and affairs, through any stockholder vote or otherwise. Any of these effects could depress the price of our common stock.
OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION GRANTS OUR BOARD THE POWER TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON AND PREFERRED SHARES AND TO DESIGNATE OTHER CLASSES OF PREFERRED SHARES, ALL WITHOUT STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.
As of December 31, 2022, our authorized capital consists of 6,500,000,000 shares of common stock and 11,000,000 shares are authorized as preferred stock, both with a par value of $0.001 per share. Our Board, without any action by our stockholders, may designate and issue shares of preferred stock in such series as it deems appropriate and establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, including dividends, liquidation and voting rights, provided it is consistent with Delaware law.
The rights of holders of our preferred stock that may be issued could be superior to the rights of holders of our shares of common stock. The designation and issuance of shares of capital stock having preferential rights could adversely affect other rights appurtenant to shares of our common stock. Furthermore, any issuances of additional stock (common or preferred) will dilute the percentage of ownership interest of then-current holders of our capital stock and may dilute our book value per share.

On May 12, 2015, the Company issued a convertible promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $25,000 to Tarpon Bay Partners, LLC (“Tarpon Bay”), whose principal at the time, is now known as a “Bad Actor” under SEC rules. On or about January 23, 2017, Tarpon Bay elected to convert principal and interest under the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock. On or about June 6, 2017 the Note was assigned to J.P. Carey Enterprises, Inc. (“J.P.”). On or about June 7, 2017, J.P. elected to convert principal and interest under the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock. Joseph Canouse, a principal at J.P. initiated a lawsuit against the Company in Fulton County Court, in Georgia for, amongst other things, breach of contract. A default judgment was entered into against the Company for failure to response to these claims. The court then issued an Order of Judgement against the Company in the amount of $282,500 which was recorded in accounts payable as of December 31, 2017. The Company appealed the Courts’ decision and in November 2018, while the Court of Appeals affirmed liability under the judgment, the Court of Appeals vacated the award of the entire judgment amount and remanded the case back to the trial court with instructions.
On June 23, 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement for an outstanding lawsuit for consideration of $300,000 in cash and 1,092,866 shares of common stock in the amount of $213,109.

Market Information.
Our common stock is qualified for quotation on the OTC Markets-OTCPink under the symbol “MSSV” and has been quoted on the OTCPINK since October 16, 2018. Previously, our common stock was quoted on the OTC Markets-OTC Pink Current-OTCPink, under the symbol “PNOW.” There currently is no liquid trading market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a significant active trading market in our common stock will develop, or if such a market develops, that it will be sustained.
The ability of individual stockholders to trade their shares in a particular state may be subject to various rules and regulations of that state. A number of states require that an issuer’s securities be registered in their state or appropriately exempted from registration before the securities are permitted to trade in that state. Presently, we have no plans to register our securities in any particular state. Further, our shares may be subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.

Revenue
Revenue increased by 249.46% in the amount of $1,092,336 for the years ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The key reason for the increase in revenue was a result of the acquisition of Global Stem Cells Group, Inc. on August 18, 2021.
The following table presents the Company’s revenue by product category for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:
| For the Years Ended December 31, | ||||||||

Operating expenses
Operating expenses decreased by 79.52% in the amount of $8,007,868 for the years ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Listed below are the major changes to operating expenses:
Advertising and marketing increased by $184,345 for the years ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to the acquisition of Global Stem Cells Group, Inc. on August 18, 2021.
Officer compensation decreased by $473,072 for the years ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to the issuance of 896 shares of Series DD Preferred Stock of the Company in 2021 to Dave Christensen, current Director, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary as compensation pursuant to the Professional Service Consulting Agreement. The $503,072 value of the 896 shares of Series DD Convertible Preferred Stock is based on converting into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock determined by multiplying the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on the date of conversion by 3.17 conversion price offset by a $30,000 increase in compensation to Mr. David Christensen in 2022.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $112,681 for the years ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to the acquisition of Global Stem Cells Group, Inc. on August 18, 2021 along with the buildout of the Cancun clinic in 2022.
General and administrative-related party expense decrease by $8,116,269 for the years ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to the issuance of the 1,000 shares of the Company’s Series CC Convertible Preferred Stock to Lans Holdings Inc. terminated and replaced with a cash payment as consideration. The Company paid Lans Holdings Inc., by delivery in escrow, an amount equal to $8,200,000, offset by $83,731 the value of the 1,000 shares of the Company’s Series CC Convertible Preferred Stock terminated in 2021.
General and administrative expense increase by $274,884 for the years ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to the acquisition of Global Stem Cells Group, Inc. on August 18, 2021 along with the buildout of the Cancun clinic in 2022.
Other expense
Other expense increased by $1,438,650 for the years ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily as a result of an increase in amortization of discounts in 2022 offset by the change in fair market value of the convertible notes in 2022 and settlement of lawsuit in 2021.
Discontinued operations
On October 28, 2022, we completed the disposition of our prior coins, paper currency, bullion and medals business by entering into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Subsidiary with our prior officer and director, Mr. Melvin Pereira, pursuant to which we agreed to sell Mr. Pereira 100% of our interest in Meso Numismatics Corp., a Florida corporation. In exchange, Mr. Pereira has agreed to assume all of the liabilities of Meso Numismatics, resulting in a gain of $68,313 in 2022 offset by a loss of $13,207 in 2021.
Net Loss
We recorded a net loss of $5,506,822 for the years ended December 31, 2022, as compared with a net loss of $12,884,480 for the same period ended December 31, 2021.

Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of approximately $52,176,465 and a working capital deficit of $10,304,670 as of December 31, 2022 and future losses are anticipated. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue its operations as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.
19
The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well to achieve its strategic objectives. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies have not materially changed during the year ended December 31, 2022. Furthermore, the preparation of our financial statements is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Our management believes that we consistently apply these judgments and estimates, and the financial statements fairly represent all periods presented. However, any differences between these judgments and estimates and actual results could have a material impact on our statements of income and financial position.
Derivative Instruments
The derivative instruments are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair market value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in operations for each reporting period. The Company uses the Monte Carlo option pricing model to value the derivative instruments.
Stock Based Compensation
Share-based compensation issued to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The Company measures the fair value of the share-based compensation issued to non-employees at the grant date using the stock price observed in the trading market (for stock transactions) or the fair value of the award (for non-stock transactions), which were considered to be more reliably determinable measures of fair value than the value of the services being rendered.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting and subsequently issued clarifying amendments. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The optional guidance is effective upon issuance and can be applied on a prospective basis at any time between January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022.
In October 2021, the FASB issued amended guidance that requires acquiring entities to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities in a business combination in accordance with existing revenue recognition guidance. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual periods in 2023 and is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted on a retrospective basis to the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior acquisitions; however, the impact in future periods will be dependent upon the contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in future business combinations.
In November 2021, the FASB issued new guidance to increase the transparency of transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. The guidance requires annual disclosures of such transactions to include the nature of the transactions and the significant terms and conditions, the accounting treatment and the impact to the company’s financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning in 2022 and is to be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis.
20
Other accounting standards and amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued and have future effective dates are not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products by applying the following steps: (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 each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company’s main sources of revenue are comprised of the following:
| ● | Training-GSCG offers a Stem Cell & Exosomes Certification Program where physicians attending this training sessions will take advantage of a full review of stem cell biology, characterization and regenerative properties of cells and cell products, cytokines and growth factors and how they can be apply in a clinic setting. The physicians will pay for the training sessions upfront and receives all the material and certificate upon completion of seminar. Completion of the seminar is when control is transferred and when revenue is recognized. |
| ● | Products-Physicians can order SVF Kits through GSCG which includes EC Certificate from Institute for Testing and Certificating, Inc. SVT Kits are paid for upfront and shipped from a third party directly to physicians. Transfer of control is when the product is shipped which is when revenue is recognized. |
| ● | Equipment- Physicians can order equipment through GSCG which includes a warranty from manufacture of equipment. Equipment is paid for upfront and shipped from manufacture directly to physicians. Transfer of control is when the equipment is shipped which is when revenue is recognized. |
| ● | Patient procedures are the treatments GSCG is offering at its Cancun clinic. The transfer of control is when the procedures are completed which is when revenue is recognized. |
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company receives in exchange for those products.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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. The significant estimates included in these financial statements are associated with accounting for the goodwill, derivative liability valuations, valuation of preferred stock, fair value estimates, valuation of assets and liabilities in business combination and in its going concern analysis.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of financial instruments, which include cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and advances from related parties were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from financial instruments.
Fair value is defined as the price which would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, as follows:
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
21
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, account payables, and accrued expenses, approximate their respective fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company does not have any assets or liabilities except for derivative liabilities related to convertible notes payable required to be measured at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement.
| ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We are not required to provide the information required by this Item because we are a smaller reporting company.
| ITEM 8. | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA |
The financial statements required by this Item 8 are included in this Annual Report following Item 15 hereof. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide supplementary financial information.
| ITEM 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE |

| ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports, filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also 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, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
22
As required by the SEC Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.
| 1. | We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us for the year ended December 31, 2022. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. |
| 2. | We have inadequate controls to ensure that information necessary to properly record transactions is adequately communicated on a timely basis from non-financial personnel to those responsible for financial reporting. Management evaluated the impact of the lack of timely communication between non–financial personnel and financial personnel on our assessment of our reporting controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency represented a material weakness. | |
| 3. | The Company failed to account for the acquisition of GSCG using the full purchase accounting method in accordance with ASC 805. |
To address these material weaknesses, management engaged financial consultants, performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. We have not remedied the material weaknesses as of December 31, 2022. The Company plans to take remedial action to address these weaknesses during the fiscal year ended 2023.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except the implementation of the controls identified above.

The following table sets forth the number of shares of common stock owned of record and beneficially by our executive officers, directors and persons who hold 5% or more of the outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company.
The amounts and percentages of our common stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of SEC rules governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days through the exercise of any stock option, warrant or other right. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest. Unless otherwise indicated, each of the shareholders named in the table below, or his or her family members, has sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares of our common stock. Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each of the shareholders listed below is: c/o Meso Numismatics, Inc., 433 Plaza Real Suite 275 Boca Raton, Florida 33432.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Director and
Stockholders of Meso Numismatics, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Meso Numismatics, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two years ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated 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 each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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 audits. 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
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 2 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $52,200,000 and a loss from continuing operations of $5.5 million, that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Critical Audit Matters
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.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021.

NOTES TO CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Nature of Business
Meso Numismatics, Inc. (the “Company”) was originally organized under the laws of Washington State in 1999, as Spectrum Ventures, LLC to develop market and sell VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services. In 2002, the Company changed its name to Nxtech Wireless Cable Systems, Inc. In August 2007, the Company changed its name to Oriens Travel & Hotel Management Corp. In November 2014, the Company changed its name to Pure Hospitality Solutions, Inc.
On November 16, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger between the Company and Meso Numismatics Corp. (“Meso”). The acquisition of Meso is to support the Company’s overall mission of specializing in ventures related to Central America and the Latin countries of the Caribbean; not limited to tourism. Meso is a small but scalable numismatics operation that the Company can leverage for low cost revenues and product marketing.
Meso Numismatics, Inc. maintains an online store with eBay (www.mesocoins.com) and participates in live auctions with major companies such as Heritage Auctions, Stacks Bowers Auctions and Lyn Knight Auctions.
The
acquisition was complete on August 4, 2017 following the Company issuance of
On September 4, 2017, the Company decided to suspend its booking operations, Oveedia, to focus on continuing to build its numismatic business, Meso Numismatics. Inc. The Company did, however, use its footprint within the Latin American region to expand Meso Numismatics, Inc. at a much quicker rate.
In September 2018, the Company changed its name to Meso Numismatics, Inc. and FINRA provided a market effective date and on September 26, 2018, the new ticker symbol MSSV became effective on October 16, 2018.
On July 2, 2018, the Board of Directors authorized and shareholders approved a 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock held by the holders of record. The prior year financials have been changed to reflect the 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split.
On August 18, 2021, Meso Numismatics, Inc., completed its acquisition of Global Stem Cells Group Inc., through a Stock Purchase Agreement acquiring all the outstanding capital stock of Global Stem Cells Group Inc and paid the purchase price of a total of 1,000,000 shares of Series AA Preferred Stock in the Company, 8,974 shares of Series DD Preferred Stock in the Company and $225,000 USD (the final payment of $50,000 was made on July 2, 2021).
Pursuant
to the terms of the Fifth Post Closing Amendment along with the completion of the acquisition of Global Stem Cells Group Inc., the issuance
of the
On
October 28, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Subsidiary with our prior officer and
director, Mr. Melvin Pereira, pursuant to which we agreed to sell Mr. Pereira
As a result of this transaction, we are no longer engaged in the sale of coins, paper currency, bullion and medals and we have moved into what we believe is a more lucrative opportunity for our company, the operations of Global Stem Cell Group.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Global Stem Cells Group Inc. (since August 18, 2021) and Cellular Hope Institute, wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Stem Cells Group Inc. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Presentation
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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. The significant estimates included in these financial statements are associated with accounting for the goodwill, derivative liability, valuation of preferred stock, and for the valuation of assets and liabilities in business combination.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts for the prior year have been revised or reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. No change in net loss resulted from these reclassifications.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid accounts with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31,
2022 and December 31, 2021, all of the Company’s cash was deposited in major banking institutions. There were no cash equivalents
as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Our cash balances at financial institutions may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Company’s
(FDIC) insured limit of $
Accounts Receivable
Accounts
receivable are recorded at original invoice amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts that management believes will be adequate
to absorb estimated losses on existing balances. Management estimates the allowance based on collectability of accounts receivable and
prior bad debt experience. Accounts receivable balances are written off against the allowance upon management’s determination that
such accounts are uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. Management believes
that credit risks on accounts receivable will not be material to the financial position of the Company or results of operations. The
allowance for doubtful accounts was $
F-9
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. No impairment was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Goodwill
We test our reporting unit for impairment annually at year end or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, we record an impairment loss based on the difference between fair value and carrying amount of the reporting unit, not to exceed to the associated carrying amount of goodwill. No impairment was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Derivative Instruments
The derivative instruments are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair market value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in operations for each reporting period. The Company uses the Monte Carlo option pricing model to value the derivative instruments.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products by applying the following steps: (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 each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company’s main sources of revenue are comprised of the following:
| ● | Training-GSCG offers a Stem Cell & Exosomes Certification Program where physicians attending these training sessions will take advantage of a full review of stem cell biology, characterization and regenerative properties of cells and cell products, cytokines and growth factors and how they can be applied in a clinic setting. The physicians will pay for the training sessions upfront and receives all the material and certificate upon completion of seminar. Completion of the seminar is when control is transferred and when revenue is recognized. |
| ● | Products-Physicians can order SVF Kits through GSCG which includes EC Certificate from Institute for Testing and Certificating, Inc. SVT Kits are paid for upfront and shipped from a third party directly to physicians. Transfer of control is when the product is shipped which is when revenue is recognized. |
| ● | Equipment- Physicians can order equipment through GSCG which includes a warranty from manufacture of equipment. Equipment is paid for upfront and shipped from manufacture directly to physicians. Transfer of control is when the equipment is shipped which is when revenue is recognized. | |
| ● | Patient procedures are the treatments GSCG is offering at its Cancun clinic. The transfer of control is when the procedures are completed which is when revenue is recognized. |
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer or services are provided. Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company receives in exchange for those products.
F-10
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method to record income tax activity. Deferred taxes are determined based upon the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities, given the provisions of currently enacted tax laws.
The accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements uses the threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination for inclusion or exclusion. Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has been met.
Net Earnings (Losses) Per Common Share
The Company accounts for net loss per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”), which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations 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.
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. It excludes the dilutive effects of any potentially issuable common shares. The effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses and therefore basic and dilutive is the same.
Diluted net loss per share is calculated by including any potentially dilutive share issuances in the denominator. The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average diluted shares at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Convertible notes outstanding | ||||||||
| Convertible preferred stock outstanding | ||||||||
| Shares underlying warrants outstanding | ||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of financial instruments, which include cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and advances from related parties were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from financial instruments.
Fair value is defined as the price which would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
F-11
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, account payables, and accrued expenses, approximate their respective fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company does not have any assets or liabilities except for derivative liabilities related to convertible notes payable required to be measured at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement.
The following presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Comprehensive Income
The Company records comprehensive income as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no items that represent comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
Stock Based Compensation
Share-based compensation issued to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The Company measures the fair value of the share-based compensation issued to non-employees at the grant date using the stock price observed in the trading market (for stock transactions) or the fair value of the award (for non-stock transactions), which were considered to be more reliably determinable measures of fair value than the value of the services being rendered.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting and subsequently issued clarifying amendments. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The optional guidance is effective upon issuance and can be applied on a prospective basis at any time between January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022.
In October 2021, the FASB issued amended guidance that requires acquiring entities to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities in a business combination in accordance with existing revenue recognition guidance. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual periods in 2023 and is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted on a retrospective basis to the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior acquisitions; however, the impact in future periods will be dependent upon the contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in future business combinations.
F-12
In November 2021, the FASB issued new guidance to increase the transparency of transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. The guidance requires annual disclosures of such transactions to include the nature of the transactions and the significant terms and conditions, the accounting treatment and the impact to the company’s financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning in 2022 and is to be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis.
Other accounting standards and amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued and have future effective dates are not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of fair value over identifiable tangible and intangible net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized, instead goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, or on an interim basis between annual tests when events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value.
Going Concern
The
financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since
inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $
The ability of the Company to continue its operations as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.
The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well to achieve its strategic objectives. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – REVENUE RECOGNITION
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue from the sales of products, by applying the following steps:
| (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 each performance obligation in the contract |
| (5) | Recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied |
F-13
There was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The Company’s main source of revenue is comprised of the following:
| ● | Training-GSCG offers a Stem Cell & Exosomes Certification Program where physicians attending these training sessions will take advantage of a full review of stem cell biology, characterization and regenerative properties of cells and cell products, cytokines and growth factors and how they can be applied in a clinic setting. The physicians will pay for the training sessions upfront and receives all the material and certificate upon completion of seminar. Completion of the seminar is when control is transferred and when revenue is recognized. |
| ● | Products-Physicians can order SVF Kits through GSCG which includes EC Certificate from Institute for Testing and Certificating, Inc. SVT Kits are paid for upfront and shipped from a third party directly to physicians. Transfer of control is when the product is shipped which is when revenue is recognized. |
| ● | Equipment- Physicians can order equipment through GSCG which includes a warranty from manufacture of equipment. Equipment is paid for upfront and shipped from manufacture directly to physicians. Transfer of control is when the equipment is shipped which is when revenue is recognized. |
| ● | Patient procedures are the treatments GSCG is offering at its Cancun clinic. The transfer of control is when the procedures are completed which is when revenue is recognized. |
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer or as services are rendered. Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company receives in exchange for those products.
The following table presents the Company’s revenue by product category for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

COVID-19
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare community in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”.
The significant outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in a widespread health crisis that adversely affected the economies and financial markets in which we operate. Restrictions in international travel along with in person meetings limited our training of new customers along with selling them products and equipment which adversely affecting our results of operations and financial condition during 2021 and the first six months of 2022,

We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Further testing of specific assets or grouping of assets is required when undiscounted future cash flows associated with the assets is less than their carrying amounts. An asset is considered to be impaired when the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows of an asset group are estimated to be less than its carrying value. The amount of impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. Fair value estimates are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows. We recorded no impairment of long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2022.
NOTE 10 – ACQUISITION
On
August 18, 2021, through a Stock Purchase Agreement,
The preliminary purchase price for the merger was determined to be $6.229 million, which consists of (i) 1 million shares of Series AA preferred stock valued at approximately $964,000, (ii) 8,974 shares of Series DD preferred stock valued at approximately $5.04 million and (iii) $225,000 in cash of which $175,000 was advanced in prior to closing of the transaction.

The Company has recorded a full allowance against its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 because management determined that it is not more-likely-than not that those assets will be realized. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of deferred assets will not be realized.

NOTE 14 – GOODWILL
On
August 18, 2021, through a Stock Purchase Agreement,
Under the acquisition method, the purchase price must be allocated to the reporting units net assets acquired, inclusive of intangible assets, with any excess fair value recorded to goodwill. The goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes, is attributable to the assembled workforce of Global Stem Cells Group, planned growth in new markets, and synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of Meso Numismatics, Inc. and Global Stem Cells Group.
The following table summarizes the Company’s carrying amount of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
| Goodwill | ||||
| Balance at December 31, 2020 | $ | |||
| Acquisition | ||||
| Impairment | ||||
| Balance at December 31, 2021 | $ | |||
| Acquisition | ||||
| Impairment | ||||
| Balance at December 31, 2022 | $ | |||
During each fiscal year, we periodically assess whether any indicators of impairment exist which would require us to perform an interim impairment review. As of each interim period end during each fiscal year, we concluded that a triggering event had not occurred that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting unit below their carrying values. We performed our annual test of goodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2022. The results of the goodwill impairment test indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit was in excess of the carrying value, and, thus, we did not require an impairment charge.
