NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Organization and History
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 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 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
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
Description of Business
As a result of this transaction, the Company is longer engaged in the sale of coins, paper currency, bullion and medals and it has moved into what is believed to be a more lucrative opportunity for the Company - the operations of Global Stem Cell Group.
The Company believes 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. The Company works 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. The Company combines solutions from extensive clinical research with the manufacturing and commercialization of viable cell therapy and immune support related products that it believes will change the course of traditional medicine around the world forever. The Company’s 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 the Company’s process using the kits and solutions it provides.
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. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and, in the opinion of management, contain all the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and the consolidated statements of income and consolidated cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim consolidated financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X, Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed on April 14, 2023, which can be found at www.sec.gov. 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.
Page 7 of 38
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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all of the Company’s
cash was deposited in major banking institutions. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 $
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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022.
Lease Accounting
The Company leases office space and clinical space under a lease arrangement. These properties are generally leased under non-cancelable agreements that contain lease terms in excess of twelve months on the date of entry as well as renewal options for additional periods. The agreements, which have been classified as operating leases, generally provide for base minimum rental payment, as well non-lease components including insurance, taxes, maintenance, and other common area costs.
At the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases, except short-term leases with an original term of twelve months or less. The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any prepayments to the lessor and initial direct costs such as brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are periodically reviewed for impairment in accordance with standards that apply to long-lived assets. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the rate implicit in the contract if available or an estimate of our incremental borrowing rate for a collateralized loan with the same term as the underlying lease. The discount rates used for the initial measurement of lease liabilities as of the date of entry were based on the original lease terms.
Lease payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities consist of (i) fixed lease payments for the non-cancelable lease term, (ii) fixed lease payments for optional renewal periods where it is reasonably certain the renewal option will be exercised, and (iii) variable lease payments that depend on an underlying index or rate, based on the index or rate in effect at lease commencement. Certain real estate lease agreements require payments for non-lease costs such as utilities and common area maintenance. The Company has elected an accounting policy to not separate implicit components of the contract that may be considered non-lease related.
Lease expense for operating leases consists of the fixed lease payments recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term plus variable lease payments as incurred. The lease payments are allocated between a reduction of the lease liability and interest expense. Depreciation of the right-of-use asset for operating leases reflects the use of the asset on straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease.
Page 8 of 38
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. (see Note 11 for detail of goodwill).
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
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products under ASC 606 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 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.
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.

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. |
| 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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.

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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedient and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction-based and less susceptible to manipulation. The ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform—Scope, which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform—Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. This update extends the sunset provision of ASU 2020-04 to December 31, 2024. The Company has not yet adopted this ASU and is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For companies that qualified as Smaller Reporting Companies as defined by the SEC as of November 19, 2019, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of the guidance on its financial statements.
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
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
$
Page 11 of 38
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
The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of products under ASC 606 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 |
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.

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.
During the fourth quarter of 2022 and into 2023 we started recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic with restrictions in international travel removed along with the opening of the Cancun facility in the second half of 2022, which provided a facility for physicians to come for training and preform patient procedures.
The full extent of the future impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations is uncertain. A prolonged outbreak could have a material adverse impact on financial results and business operations of the Company, including the timing and ability of the Company to collect accounts receivable and the ability of the Company to continue to provide high-quality services and equipment. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities at the date of issuance of these financial statements. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022.

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.
Page 25 of 38
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. For the rest of 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.

Revenue
Revenue increased by 75.91% in the amount of $279,151 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The key reason for the increase in revenue was a result of the opening of the Cancun facility in the second half of 2022, which provided a facility for physicians to come for training and preform patient procedures. Additional, Global Stem Cells Group, like almost everyone else in the world, was severely affected by the covid 19 pandemic during 2021 and the first six months of 2022, restrictions our 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.
We expect that our revenues will increase in future quarters, as we ramp up operations at our manufacturing facilities, and as we continue to increase our advertising and awareness efforts across the globe for our products and services.
The following table presents our revenue by product category for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:
| For the Three Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||

| Total revenue | $ | 646,828 | $ | 367,697 | ||||
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased by 23.16% in the amount of $98,778 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. Listed below are the major changes to operating expenses:
Advertising and marketing fees increased by $12,335 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to an increase in advertising by Global Stem Cells Group.
Professional fees increased by $18,511 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to audit fees.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $98,667 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to completion of the Cancun facility in May 2022.
Investor relations decreased by $30,499 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the expiration of an agreement with an investor relation firm at December 31, 2022.
General and administrative expense increase by $147,084 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to an increase in travel and expenses associated with the Cancun facility.
We expect our overall operating expenses to increase on a quarterly basis for the balance of the year and into 2024 as we further implement our business plan. We expect increases in future quarters over all major categories as we engage in efforts to increase brand awareness with our products and services, including advertising campaigns and investor relation services. We also expect an increase in general operating costs and growth initiatives as we ramp up operations and seek to expand them.
Page 27 of 38
Other expense
Other expense increased by $4,599,807 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of impairment of goodwill of $4,125,460, the increase in amortization of debt discount of $329,297 and $145,137 of interest on promissory notes.
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.

Revenue
Revenue increased by 86.15% in the amount of $830,418 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The key reason for the increase in revenue was a result of the opening of the Cancun facility in the second half of 2022, which provided a facility for physicians to come for training and preform patient procedures. Additional, Global Stem Cells Group, like almost everyone else in the world, was severely affected by the covid 19 pandemic during 2021 and the first six months of 2022, restrictions our 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.
We expect that our revenues will increase in future quarters, as we ramp up operations at our manufacturing facilities, and as we continue to increase our advertising and awareness efforts across the globe for our products and services.
The following table presents our revenue by product category for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:
| For the Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||||
| Training | $ | 462,277 | $ | 199,672 | ||||

| Total revenue | $ | 1,794,385 | $ | 963,967 | ||||
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased by 14.69% in the amount of $233,209 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. Listed below are the major changes to operating expenses:
Advertising and marketing fees increased by $133,286 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to an increase in advertising by Global Stem Cells Group.
Professional fees decreased by $108,775 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to audit fees.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $111,586 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to completion of the Cancun facility in May 2022.
Investor relations decreased by $120,883 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the expiration of an agreement with an investor relation firm at December 31, 2022.
General and administrative expense increase by $217,996 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to an increase in travel and expenses associated with the Cancun facility.
We expect our overall operating expenses to increase on a quarterly basis for the balance of the year and into 2024 as we further implement our business plan. We expect increases in future quarters over all major categories as we engage in efforts to increase brand awareness with our products and services, including advertising campaigns and investor relation services. We also expect an increase in general operating costs and growth initiatives as we ramp up operations and seek to expand them.

Other expense
Other expense increased by $5,533,123 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of impairment of goodwill of $4,125,460, the increase in amortization of debt discount of $962,731 and $440,801 of interest on promissory notes.
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. The Company reclassified the results of operations of the coins, paper currency, bullion and medals business resulting in a loss on discontinued operations of $350 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

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 $61,734,094 and a working capital deficit of $23,243,793 as of September 30, 2023 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.
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 September 30, 2023, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Page 31 of 38
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies have not materially changed during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. 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 ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedient and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction-based and less susceptible to manipulation. The ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform—Scope, which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform—Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. This update extends the sunset provision of ASU 2020-04 to December 31, 2024. The Company has not yet adopted this ASU and is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For companies that qualified as Smaller Reporting Companies as defined by the SEC as of November 19, 2019, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of the guidance on its financial statements.
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.
Page 32 of 38
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.
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 |
There was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022.
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. |
Page 33 of 38
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.
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. |
| 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 3. 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 4. 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.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2023. 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 September 30, 2023. The Company plans to take remedial action to address these weaknesses during the fiscal year ended December 31, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 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.
