(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation
Stemtech Corporation and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA on September 4, 2009 under the previous name Globe Net Wireless Corp. On November 19th, 2021, the Company adopted an Amendment to its Articles changing the name of the Corporation to Stemtech Corporation in the state of Nevada, and on April 14th, 2022, FINRA gave final approval for said name change, as seen by the 8K filed that date. Stemtech is a global network marketing company that develops science-based products that it believes supports wellness by helping the body maintain healthy stem cell physiology, also known as stem cell enhancers. Known as the Stem Cell Nutrition Company®, the Company is a pioneer in stem cell science, and believes it can demonstrate that adult stem cells function as the natural renewal system of the body. The Company believes our products enhance and support the work of the body’s stem cells by releasing more stem cells, helping to circulate them in the blood and migrate them into tissues, where they can perform their daily function of renewal for optimal health. Our Mission is to enhance wellness and prosperity around the world. These products are marketed internationally by the Companies subsidiaries and through independent distributors. The Company markets its products under the following brands: RCM System, stemrelease3™, Stemflo® MigraStem™, OraStem® (Oral Health Care), and D-Fuze™ (Electromagnetic Frequency Blocker).
On August 19, 2021, Stemtech Corporation (“Stemtech”), a (Delaware corporation), entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Globe Net Wireless Corp. (“Globe Net” or “GNTW”). The merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (ASC 805, Business Combinations). Management evaluated the guidance contained in ASC 805 with respect to the identification of the acquirer in the merger and concluded, based on a consideration of the pertinent facts and circumstances, that Stemtech acquired Globe Net for financial accounting purposes. On November 9, 2021, the Company changed its fiscal year end date from August to December.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Such consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Stemtech Corporation (Parent) and its nine (9) subsidiaries:
| 1. | Stemtech HealthSciences Corp (U.S.A.) (“Stemtech HealthSciences”) |
| 2. | Stemtech Canada, Inc. (Canada) |
| 3. | Stemtech Health Sciences S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Mexico”) |
| 4. | Stemtech Services SARL de C.V. (Mexico) (“Stemtech Mexico”) |
| 5. | Stemtech Malaysia Holdings Sdn. Bhd. (“Malaysia”) |

8. 9. |
Tecrecel S.A. (“Ecuador”) Food & Health Tech Foodhealth SA (“Ecuador”) |
The December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet included herein was derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the SEC. The Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes previously filed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 21, 2021.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and classification of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The
Company has experienced recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of
approximately $
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements depends on its ability to execute its business plan, increase revenue, and reduce expenditures. Such conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022. The Company maintains certain cash balances at several institutions located outside the United States. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.
Inventory
Inventory comprised of finished goods, work in process and raw materials are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the “first-in, first-out” method in determining cost. Management evaluates the allowance for inventory obsolescence on a regular basis and has determined that no allowance for slow moving or obsolete inventory is necessary on June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Inventory consists of the following components:
| June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Finished goods | $ | $ | ||||||
| Raw materials | ||||||||
| Total Inventory | $ | $ | ||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses, on an annual basis, the recoverability of the carrying amount of intangible assets and long-lived assets used in continuing operations. A loss is recognized when expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) are less than the carrying amount of the asset. The impairment loss is determined as the difference by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Company evaluated its long-lived assets for any indications of impairment. The Company concluded that there was no impairment, however there can be no assurance that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products will continue which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Revenue Recognition
It is the Company’s policy that revenues from product sales is recognized in accordance with ASC 606 “Revenues from Contracts with Customers.” Five basic steps must be followed before revenue can be recognized; (1) Identifying the contract(s) with a customer that creates enforceable rights and obligations; (2) Identifying the performance obligations in the contract, such as promising to transfer goods or services to a customer; (3) Determining the transaction price, meaning the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer; (4) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, which requires the company to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or services promised in the contract; and (5) Recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation.
Revenues from direct retail sales to consumers and revenues from independent distributors occurs when title and risk of loss had passed, which generally occurs at the time the products are shipped. Revenues are recorded net of estimated sales returns and allowances.
Allowances
for product returns are provided at the time the sale is recorded. This liability is based upon historic return rates and the relevant
return pattern, which reflects anticipated returns to be received over a period of up to 12 months following the original sale. As of
June 30, 2022, the Company had a reserve for sales returns of approximately $
| 9 |
Comprehensive Loss
Other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relates to unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments.
Foreign Currency Translation
A portion of the Company’s business operations occur outside the United States. The local currency of each of the Company’s subsidiaries is generally its functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at exchange rates existing at the balance sheet dates, revenue and expenses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is recorded at historical exchange rates. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets and as a component of comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses are included in other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share (EPS) information. Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings or losses of the entity.

Note 4 – Derivative Liabilities
The Company issued debts that consist of the issuance of convertible notes with variable conversion provisions. The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the Company’s common stock , which gives rise to a Derivative Liability which is a non-cash liability. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based on the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the promissory note is indeterminate. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair values of the variable conversion options and warrants and shares to be issued were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date and revalued at each reporting period.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of $

Company Overview
Globe Net Wireless Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S. on September 4, 2009. Our registration statement on Form S-1 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission was declared effective on May 15, 2013. On August 19th, 2021, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with Stemtech Corporation by which the Company acquired one hundred percent of the shares of STEMTECH CORPORATION in exchange for the issuance of 37,060,000 shares of the Company, approximately 85% of the issued and outstanding shares of the company.
Stemtech has pioneered and patented a whole new category of dietary supplements. Stemtech’s advanced Stem Cell Nutrition formulations are one-of-a-kind natural products designed to help support the three most important aspects of stem cell physiology: 1) Releasing more stem cells; 2) their circulation in the blood; and 3) Migration into tissues, where they can perform their daily function of renewal and rejuvenation for optimal health. We actually harness the incredible power of adult stem cells. How does this work? Adult stem cells are released from your bone marrow into the bloodstream, they then Circulate in the bloodstream and flow to the tissues most in need. As they arrive, the adult stem cells migrate into the tissues, reproduce and become new, healthy cells of those tissues. This process takes place every single day, even without tissue damage, as part of the natural renewal system of the body. It is important to understand that Stemtech’s products do not contain stem cells. They are composed of natural botanicals and other ingredients that have been clinically documented to support the performance of your own adult stem cells.
While sales of product obviously create the cash flow, our real business model is not just “sales”, but lateral penetration. We do this through our IBPs - “Independent Business Partner” Sales Forces, and we invest much energy in growing our IBPs. Post public listing and funding, Stemtech is projecting the addition of 30,000 new independent business partner reps over the next 12 to 24 months, adding to the existing IBPs. With an enhanced compensation plan, IBPs will be even more incentivized to build their network, attracting additional industry leaders. IBPs are a testimonial to our product and business model, lowering our customer acquisition costs.
| 14 |
In order to grow our company’s IBPs post pandemic, we are now reinstituting in-person meetings, contests such as a travel incentive which began August 1 for trip to Cancun in December, cruises, Business Academies for Training, regional conferences, our Annual Convention with new product launches. Our IBPs offer highly flexible yet steady income which is most adapted to todays “Laptop & Cellphone Lifestyle”, with structured and organized weekly corporate training calls, a personalized website, back-office tracking, oversight and management Tools, Reports, Training Materials and Social Media Sharing. Stemtech announced on July 25th the partnering with industry leading VERB TECHNOLOGY in launching Interactive Video and Livestreaming Sales Enablement Apps to strengthen the direct sales channel. The new mobile app, “Stemtech Advance Office” is based on the VERB leading-edge platform which enables IBPs to share recruiting materials and track prospective members. This will launch early September, a few weeks from now.
Stemtech launched a new marketing program in January, 2022, and our sales continue to come from returning consumers who believe in the quality products, as well as new members. Until September 2021, the Company had operated on an extremely tight budget, with inadequate working capital and difficulties fulfilling orders. Since the cash infusions noted in “Financing” infra, the company now has the resources to contact and re-engage the over 200,000 former distributors. With this new cash infusion, the Company has engaged experienced marketing and social media professionals to initiate new marketing strategies which are expected to bring increased activity. Moreover, we are now better positioned to absorb significant new clientele either as product consumers or business builders, as the company has directed significant cash towards our inventory and marketing efforts. Management conservatively believes that given the cash on hand and working expenditures as describe above, we can reinvigorate sales to be more consistent with the company’s previous revenue historically, as we were recognized 4 separate years in the Inc 5000 Magazine’s list of fastest growing companies.
The network marketing industry companies are known for their potential explosive growth and with more network marketers looking for a new home, Stemtech is well positioned. With our legacy of being in business for over 16 years, industry experience, and scientific knowledge, with products in the expanding stem cell nutrition market, our strong and profitable compensation plan for our Field, we are set to enter the typically invigorated end of Q3 and Q4 period with much anticipated growth. Management believes that the highest growth is upcoming in the next two to three years. General economic conditions with inflation factoring largely in today’s market, people are looking for an income-earning opportunity. Being their own boss and working while enjoying a desired lifestyle. Quality of life issues are in the IBPs control. Combined with Stemtech’s patented anti-aging and longevity products, it is inevitable that a momentum phase will propel the company to achieve our projections.
Stemtech is working to add new products in the stem cell arena. Forecasts for the stem cell industry, whether stem cell therapy, stem cell pharma, stem cell technology or stem cell nutrition, are indicating explosive growth between 2022 and 2026, reaching estimated business volumes of USD $26 billion with a CAGR of 10.34 percent, according to “Research and Markets” a recognized industry publication and authority. As the pioneer in stem cell nutrition since 2005, Stemtech’s growth opportunities are significant.
Below this IBP level, we have our “DTC” (Direct To Consumer) network marketing Distribution model. This integrative model allows us an immediate global presence and ability to operate in multiple countries on any continent. We are uniquely positioned in this post pandemic economy beset by supply chain issues, as this method requires no up-front or required buy-in of inventory, with monthly shipments available for known recurring sales. This platform has us now operating at the intersection of the ecommerce economy, social economy and gig economy.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.

The difference is primarily due to $22,538,626 loss from change in fair value of derivative liabilities, $878,806 loss on extinguishment of debt and $513,291 increase of interest expense on notes payable, partially offset by the $124,300 gain on forgiveness of PPP Loan.

It should be noted that the large increase in the derivative liability is due to the fact that the convertible notes payable and the warrants have significant intrinsic value due to our rising stock price. If the warrants are exercised and the notes are converted, the liability amount will be absorbed to Shareholders’ Equity.
The net loss attributable to Stemtech for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, was $25,442,979 and $928,567, respectively. The increase in net loss was caused by the factors described above.

| 16 |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the six-months ending June 30, 2022, net cash flows used in operating activities were $744,764 which is primarily due the net loss of $25,477,306 offset by approximately $24,615,000 of noncash items as well as the changes in working capital accounts. The noncash items primarily consist of a $22,341,116 loss from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, $1,028,375 amortization of debt discount, $217,723 of stock based compensation, $217,717 of depreciation and amortization, $878,806 of loss on extinguishment of debt, and a partial offset by the $124,300 gain on forgiveness of the PPP Loan. Adjustments for changes in operating assets and liabilities were due to an increase in inventories of $235,278 and prepaid expenses of $104,191, partially offset by decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $192,096.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
We have financed our operations primarily from the issuance of notes payable. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, $153,580 cash provided from financing activities mainly consists of proceeds of factoring liability of $241,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $117,581 from proceeds of notes payable.
Plan of Operation and Funding
We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our existing working capital, further advances and debt instruments, and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next three months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt instruments. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) acquisition of inventory; (ii) developmental expenses associated with a start-up business; and (iii) marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities and director loans. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations. We will have to raise additional funds in the next twelve months in order to sustain and expand our operations. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. We have and will continue to seek to obtain short-term loans from our directors, although no future arrangement for additional loans has been made. We do not have any agreements with our directors concerning these loans. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statement presentation and in accordance with Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

Financing
On September 3rd, 2021, the Company executed a Convertible Promissory Note, Securities Purchase Agreement and ancillary agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) with Leonite Capital, LLC Per the terms of the Agreements with Leonite Capital, LLC, the Company was tendered $410,000, which is open with right of redemption for one year. Prior to the maturity date of the Note, the Company at its option, has the right to redeem in cash in part or in whole, the amounts outstanding. Should the Fund wish to convert this debt into equity, the conversion price shall be sixty-five percent of the lowest Intraday price during the previous 21 days. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company has earmarked the net proceeds for immediate cash infusion for normative working capital purposes and capital expenditures. Leonite Capital. has agreed that neither it nor any of its affiliates shall engage in any short-selling or hedging of our Common Stock during any time.
On September 3rd, 2021, the Company finalized a Promissory Convertible Note, Securities Purchase Agreement and ancillary agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) with MCUS LLC. Per the terms of the Agreements with MCUS LLC., the Company was tendered $500,000, which the Company utilizes for normative working capital purposes and capital expenditures. The Note is open with right of redemption for nine months. MCUS LLC has agreed that neither it nor any of its affiliates shall engage in any short-selling or hedging of our Common Stock during any time during the term of the Agreements. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company is required to register all shares which the Leonite Fund I LP may acquire. The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Agreements. For a full description of all terms, please refer to the original Agreements which were filed as an 8K with the SEC on September 10th, 2021.
On September 17th, 2021, the Company finalized a $1,400,000 investment into our Company with Sharing Services Global Corporation, a publicly traded company (“SHRG”) via a Convertible Promissory Note, a Share Purchase Agreement and Warrant Agreement. Per the terms of the Agreements, the Company was tendered the full $1,400,0000, which is open with right of redemption at 10% interest per annum until September 9th, 2024. Should the holder prefer to have its debt converted, the conversion rate shall be based on the 30-day VWAP from 8/20/21 to 9/20/21, which is $3.2431.
We will require additional financing to implement our business plan, which may include joint venture projects and debt or equity financings. The nature of this enterprise and constraint of positive cash flow places debt financing beyond the credit-worthiness required by most banks or typical investors of corporate debt until such time as an economically viable profits and losses can be demonstrated. Therefore, any debt financing of our activities may be costly and result in substantial dilution to our stockholders.
Future financing through equity investments is likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for our new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition.
| 18 |
Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets, both generally and specifically in the nutraceutical industry, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenue from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to cease operations.
There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on terms satisfactory to us, or at all. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future financing. If we are unable to secure additional funding, we may cease or suspend operations. We have no plans, arrangements or contingencies in place in the event that we cease operations.
