ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Item 2. Properties.
On August 16, 2021, the Company extended its office space lease with Sunbeam Properties Inc. to rent approximately 5,000 square feet of space in Miramar, Florida. The extension provides a term of three years commencing upon October 1, 2021 and terminating on September 30, 2024. Based on ASC 842, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset amounting to $174,100 and a corresponding operating lease liability of $174,810 as of December 31, 2021.
The Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, the Company uses a discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate, which is determined using the average of borrowing rates explicitly stated in the Company’s convertible debt.
The Company’s weighted-average remaining lease term relating to its operating leases is 2.75 years, with a weighted-average discount rate of 10%.
The Company incurred lease expense for its operating leases of $105,673 and $140,130 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
In December 2018, PSIQ Inc. filed a lawsuit against the Company alleging non-payment of a combined loan in the amount of $150,000 as described in Note 7. The Company has answered this suit and has objected to the legality of the interest charged. It is the position of the Company that the plaintiff’s interest charges are usurious and thus invalid as a matter of law. This matter is still in litigation with no trial date yet set.
On August 6, 2019, Ray Carter, the former CEO prior to the Company’s Bankruptcy, filed a lawsuit against the Company’s subsidiary Stemtech HealthSciences, alleging unpaid salary and vacation time dating to a period predating the Company’s Bankruptcy. Mr. Carter’s claim is in the amount of $267,000. The Company has counter-sued Ray Carter personally and deems this matter non-meritorious. At the same time, the Company has accrued $267,000 in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
On August 30, 2019, the former CFO, filed a lawsuit against the Company’s subsidiary Stemtech HealthSciences for non-payment for unpaid vacation. This matter is now settled, and the Company has agreed to pay $114,000. There is a payment plan in place with a balance of $49,800 remaining to be paid through August 2022.
On March 4, 2020, Canon Financial Services, Inc., filed a lawsuit against the company in a dispute over office machine leases. The Company settled this matter with Canon Financial Services out of Court for $32,000 in May, 2021, and is making installment payments until paid off in May, 2023.

Penny Stock Rules
Trading in Stemtech’s Common Stock is 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 require that any broker-dealer who recommends Stemtech’s 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 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 Stemtech’s securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of Stemtech’s securities. The application of the “penny stock” rules may affect your ability to resell Stemtech’s securities.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Stemtech’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report. Stemtech’s audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Company Overview
Stemtech 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 Corp. 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.
In order to grow our company’s IBPs post pandemic, we are now looking at reinstituting contests, travel incentives, cruises, other trips, 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 Sharing.
While there has actually been no active marketing activity since 2017, our sales continued to come in from returning consumers who believe in the quality products. 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 as the company has directed significant cash towards our inventory, and we now have enough inventory on hand to fulfill over $3 million dollars’ worth of new orders, an inventory level we have not had since going into bankruptcy in 2017. 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 times in the Inc 5000 Magazine’s list of fastest growing companies.
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.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
Emerging Growth Company - We are an emerging growth company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.

As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from:
● Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Exchange Act, which require companies to hold stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute compensation;
● The requirement to provide, in any registration statement, periodic report or other report to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “Commission” or “SEC”, certain modified executive compensation disclosure under Item 402 of Regulation S-K or selected financial data under Item 301 of Regulation S-K for any period before the earliest audited period presented in our initial registration statement;

We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act.
We are also a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide selected financial data pursuant to Item 301 of Regulation S-K, nor are we required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). 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.
Results of Operations
Our consolidated 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.
Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2020.
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, net sales were $4,321,245 and $4,384,507, respectively. The decrease of $63,262 is primarily due to the lack of revenue from South Korea operations which generated approximately $160,000 in sales in 2020, partially offset by slight increases overall.
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, our total operating expenses were $6,508,356 and $5,101,154, respectively. The increase of $949,040 is primarily attributable to an increase in stock compensation granted to vendors and officers in 2021.
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, total non-operating expenses were $3,900,838 and $295,924, respectively, resulting in an increase of $3,604,914. The difference is primarily due to $8,330,201 of interest expense on notes payable, partially offset by the $4,553,372 gain from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities in connection with the note payable issued in September 2021.
Our net loss for the December 31, 2021 and 2020, was $7,111,109 and $1,727,658, respectively. The increase in net loss was caused by the factors described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are not currently profitable, and we cannot provide any assurance of when we will be profitable. We incurred a net loss of $7,111,109 and $1,727,658 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we met our short-term liquidity requirements from our existing cash reserves and proceeds from the issuance of notes payable of $3,321,969.
As of December 31, 2021, our current assets were $1,600,039 compared to $573,100 in current assets at December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2021, our current liabilities were $9,387,038 compared to $3,723,387 at December 31, 2020. Current liabilities at December 31, 2021 were comprised of $4,224,585 of derivative liabilities, $4,050,798 of accounts payable and accrued expenses, $1,055,910 in convertible notes and $55,745 in current operating lease liabilities.
Stockholders’ equity decreased from positive $1,267,996 as of December 31, 2020 to a deficit of $4,005,446 at December 31, 2021. This change was primarily caused by the $4,224,585 addition of derivative liabilities that were bifurcated from the notes payable issued in September 2021.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash flows used in operating activities were $1,914,093 which is primarily due the change in working capital accounts. The net loss of $7,111,109 and $4,553,372 gain from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities was offset by the $6,816,739 non-cash interest expense and $1,031,173 of stock compensation expense. Adjustments for changes in operating assets and liabilities were due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,217,831, an increase in operating lease liabilities of $99,159, offset by decrease in inventories and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $237,778 and $109,122, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash flows used in operating activities were $266,716.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
We have financed our operations primarily from either the issuance of our shares of common stock or notes payable. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we generated $2,628,739 cash from financing activities which consists of $3,321,969 from the issuance of convertible promissory notes, partially offset by payments on notes payable of $693,230. For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $159,402.
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 equity securities and debt instruments.
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. 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Stemtech Corporation and Subsidiaries
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Stemtech Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position for the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations since inception and has insufficient working capital to fund future operations both of which raise 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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our 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 and auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements, 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2021
Note 1 - Organization
Globe Net Wireless Corp. and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA on September 4, 2009 under the name Globe Net Wireless Corp. (“Globe Net” or “GNTW”).

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 is 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.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Stemtech Corporation (Parent) and its eight (8) 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)
6. Stemtech Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (Malaysia)
7. Stemtech Taiwan Holding, Inc. (U.S.A.)
8. Tecrecel S.A. (Ecuador)
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and considering the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company has a fiscal year with a December 31 year end. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated 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 consolidated 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 $13 million and a working capital deficiency of approximately $7.8 million at December 31, 2021. The Company has funded its activities to date almost exclusively from debt and equity financings. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will continue to require substantial funds to implement its new investment acquisition plans. Management’s plans in order to meet its operating cash flow requirements include financing activities such as private placements of its common stock, preferred stock offerings, and issuances of debt and convertible debt instruments.
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 December 31, 2021. 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 December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment, net including any major improvements, are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally as follows:
Schedule of Property, Plant and Equipment
Estimated Life
Computers and technological assets
- 5 Years
Furniture and fixtures
- 5 Years
Machinery and equipment
- 10 Years
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 (See note 9 for disaggregated revenues).
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 December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had a reserve for sales returns of approximately $23,000 and $21,000, respectively, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
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.
Net Loss per Common Share, basic
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the dilutive effect of common stock options and common stock warrants has not been included in the average shares outstanding for the calculation of net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive as a result of our net losses in these periods.
Note 3 - Inventory
Inventory consists of the following components:
Schedule of inventory
December 31, December 31,
Finished goods $ 249,659 $ 123,957
Work in process - 29,027
Raw materials 186,746 45,643
Total Inventory $ 436,405 $ 198,627
Note 4 - Intangible Assets
On May 7, 2018, Stemtech Corporation purchased the assets of Stemtech International, Inc. (the “Former Parent Company”), out of a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy for $400,000 and assumed a $4,000,000 note from RBCD Holdings Inc (formerly RBCD Holding LLC) (“RBCD Holdings”), a related party owned by the Company’s Directors, purchased an outstanding note at its face value of $4,000,000 from the Opus Bank (the “Opus Note”) and subsequently converted in 2019 into 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock of which 250,000 shares of the Company’s stock was allocated to Charles Arnold, an officer and director.
Pursuant to a bankruptcy decree, the Company paid $400,000 in cash and assumed a note payable in the amount of $4,000,000 representing 100% percent of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Stemtech Canada, Inc.

(Ecuador); and Stemtech Malaysia Holdings S/B (Malaysian Parent) that owns two-thirds of its subsidiary Stemtech Malaysia Holding Sdn. Bhd. (Malaysia).
Fair Value of the Acquired Assets
The Company accounted for the acquisitions as business combinations using the purchase method of accounting as prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). In accordance with ASC 805 and ASC 820, the Company used its best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible assets acquired, identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition dates. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Note 7 - 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. 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.

Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
Legal proceedings
In December 2018, PSIQ Inc. filed a lawsuit against the Company alleging non-payment of a combined loan in the amount of $150,000. The Company has answered this suit and has objected to the legality of the interest charged. It is the position of the Company that the plaintiff’s interest charges are usurious and thus invalid as a matter of law. This matter is still in litigation with no trial date yet set.
On August 6, 2019, Ray Carter, the former CEO prior to the Company’s Bankruptcy, filed a lawsuit against the Company’s subsidiary Stemtech HealthSciences, alleging unpaid salary and vacation time dating to a period predating the Company’s current management team taking control. Mr. Carter’s claim is in the amount of $267,000. The Company has counter-sued Ray Carter personally and deems this matter non-meritorious. At the same time, the Company has accrued $267,000 in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
On August 30, 2019, the former CFO, filed a lawsuit against the Company’s subsidiary Stemtech HealthSciences for non-payment for unpaid vacation. This matter is now settled, and the Company agreed to pay $114,000 in full accord and satisfaction. While no specified payment program is in place, this settlement was accrued and has a balance of $49,000 as of December 31, 2021 after several payments were made. Final payment is expected to be tendered in August 2022.
On March 4, 2020, Canon Financial Services, Inc., filed a lawsuit against the company in a dispute over office machine leases. The Company settled this matter with Canon Financial Services for $32,000 in May 2021, and is making installment payments until May 2023. The Company accrued the same amount and has a balance of $20,000 as of December 31, 2021.
In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters, if any, will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Note 13 - Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using statutory tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled, updated for new corporate tax rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the effective date of the change. The Company recognizes tax liabilities or benefits from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the issue. The amount recognized would be the largest liability or benefit that the Company believes has greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. As of December 2021, and 2020 management determined that it is not 50% likely that a tax asset will be realized, as such, a full valuation has been recorded. As of December 2020, (“NOL”) carry-forwards amounted to approximately $2,119,506. All tax returns are still open and subject to audit the Internal Revenue Service.
The domestic and foreign components of loss before (benefit) provision for income taxes were as follows:
Schedule of Domestic and Foreign Components of Loss Before Provision for Income Tax

Domestic $ (6,083,667 ) $ (1,128,818 )

At December 31, 2021, the Company had net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $16,999,600 that may be offset against future taxable income. Of the $17.0 million of net operating losses, U.S. Federal and state net operating losses accounted for $12.8 million which are subject to limitation under IRC Section 382. The U.S. net operating losses are limited to utilization of 80% of taxable income but do not have an expiration. At December 31, 2021, the Company had $4.2 million of non-US NOL carryforwards.
The Company applied the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold to all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which resulted in no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States of America signed tax reform legislation (the “2017 Tax Act”), which includes a broad range of tax reform affecting businesses, including corporate tax rates, business deductions, and international tax regulations. Among these changes, the 2017 Tax Act reduces the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective December 31, 2017. The Company has incorporated all other changes resulting from the 2017 Tax Act in its tax related accounts for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
The Mexican Tax Authorities have completed an Audit of Stemtech Mexico for 2013 fiscal year and have preliminarily assessed a $2.5 million tax liability including interest and penalties. The Company believes this assessment to be unfounded and has hired local tax attorneys to begin the process of going to Tax Court and potentially trial to minimize any potential tax and may take an additional 2 to 3 years to be resolved. The Company estimated the final assessment to approximately $250,000, but the Company believes it is not probable than the Company will be liable for these amounts and therefore no amount has been accrued for this action.
The Company accrued approximately $250,000 as of December 31, 2018 and remains accrued and due to Mexico as of December 31, 2021. Currently, 2015 through 2020 tax returns are still open for possible audit.
Note 14 - Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date of this filing and found that there were no material events to disclose during this time.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 9A(T): Controls and Procedures
A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Stemtech’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) for the period covered by this annual report as of its fiscal year end, December 31st, 2021. Based on this evaluation, this officer concluded that as of the end of the period, these disclosure controls and procedures were adequate to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by Stemtech in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including Stemtech’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31st, 2021. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that Stemtech’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Stemtech files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Such officer also confirmed that there was no change in Stemtech’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
B. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over Stemtech’s financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
Stemtech’s system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Based on Stemtech’s evaluation, its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Stemtech’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2021 and were subject to material weaknesses.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses in Stemtech’s internal control over financial reporting using the criteria established in the COSO:
1. Failing to have an audit committee or other independent committee that is independent of management to assess internal control over financial reporting; and
2. Failing to have a director that qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
3. Lack of segregation of duties consistent with control objectives.
4. Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and applications of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of Stemtech’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Stemtech’s internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by Stemtech’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit Stemtech to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
C. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, Stemtech’s internal control over financial reporting was not subject to changes.

Stemtech has not adopted a policy that permits shareholders to recommend candidates for election as directors or a process for shareholders to send communications to the board of directors.
(g) Audit Committee Financial Expert
Stemtech has no financial expert. Management believes the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Stemtech’s Board of Directors has determined that it does not presently need an audit committee financial expert on the Board of Directors to carry out the duties of the Audit Committee. Stemtech’s Board of Directors has determined that the cost of hiring a financial expert to act as a director of Stemtech and to be a member of the Audit Committee or otherwise perform Audit Committee functions outweighs the benefits of having a financial expert on the Audit Committee.
(h) Identification of Audit Committee
Stemtech does not have a separately designated standing audit committee. Rather, Stemtech’s entire board of directors perform the required functions of an audit committee.

Director independence
Stemtech’s board of directors currently consists of John Meyer our COO, Charles Arnold, our CEO, John Thatch, Benjamin Kaplan and Darryl Green. Pursuant to Item 407(a)(1)(ii) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, Stemtech’s board of directors has adopted the definition of “independent director” as set forth in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual. In summary, an “independent director” means a person other than an executive officer or employee of Stemtech or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of Stemtech’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgement in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and includes any director who accepted any compensation from Stemtech in excess of $200,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months with the three past fiscal years. Also, the ownership of Stemtech’s stock will not preclude a director from being independent.
In applying this definition, Stemtech’s board of directors has determined that neither Messrs. Meyer nor Arnold qualifies as an “independent director” pursuant to the same rule.
As of the date of the report, Stemtech did not maintain a separately designated compensation or nominating committee.
Stemtech has also adopted this definition for the independence of the members of its audit committee. John Meyer our COO and Charles Arnold, our CEO are the sole members of Stemtech’s audit committee as a result of being the sole director. Stemtech’s board of directors has determined that neither Messrs. Meyer nor Arnold qualifies “independent” for purposes of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual, applicable to audit, compensation and nominating committee members, and is “independent” for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act.
