ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Item 1. Business.
Overview
Balance Labs, Inc. was incorporated on June 5, 2014 under the laws of the State of Delaware. We are a consulting firm that provides business development and consulting services to startup and development-stage businesses. With each client, our company provides businesses in various industries with customized consulting services to meet their business needs and help them improve their business models, sales and marketing plans and internal operations, as well as introduce the businesses to experienced professional contacts that would be vital to the success of these businesses.
The Company is led by our President, CEO and Chairman of the Board, Michael D. Farkas, who is a seasoned entrepreneur and has worked in corporate finance and in assisting and developing businesses in multiple industries for the past twenty-six (26) years.
Along with Mr. Farkas, our management team consists of experienced business people in high-tech fields such as telecommunications, EV Charging infrastructure, as well as the agricultural industry, specifically in the cultivation of olives and production of olive oil. Throughout the years while working with various companies, our management team recognized the need for an independent third-party company that could help developmental stage and startup businesses create and implement a viable business model, assist them in developing marketing, promotional and merchandising plans.
Our business focuses on providing advice to entrepreneurs and assisting business owners so that their ideas can be fully developed and implemented. Due to limited resources, lack of experienced management and competing priorities, startup and developmental stage companies are not operating as efficiently as they can be, and therefore would benefit from an outside party that could assist in developing and executing certain strategies. We utilize our knowledge in developing businesses, share practical experiences with our clients and introduce the business owners to different experienced professionals who could help these inexperienced entrepreneurs further implement their ideas. Startups and development stage businesses across all industries commonly experience certain “growing pains”. Our plan is to prepare our clients for many inevitable challenges and develop a customized plan for them to overcome these obstacles so that they can focus on marketing their product(s) and/or service(s) to their potential customers.
Our Services
The Company will assist in the development and execution of the following services for our client companies:
● Business model development, including marketing research, naming and branding
● Business plan writing
● Financial modeling
● Website & mobile app development
● Employee and board member recruitment
● Patent/trademark filing assistance
● Professional introductions
● Product or service development
● Product production
● Develop marketing material
● Product or service placement
● Celebrity endorsements
● Introductions to professional services such as legal & accounting
● In the future we plan to offer executive office sharing and additional ancillary services
Target Market
The target market will consist of startup and developmental stage businesses located in the United States and abroad. We cater our services to startups and developmental stage companies that do not have the resources to execute or implement their business plan or ideas with the personnel in-house. Our client companies can derive value from our support and expertise with dealing with the typical growing pains and common mistakes experienced by startups.
Marketing and Sales
We are starting to become more active in the market by developing relationships initially with startups and development stage companies. In addition to personal relationships of the principals, we plan to use our website www.balancelabs.co to promote our services and provide a contact function that allows potential clients to reach us for additional information. The references to our website in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are inactive textual references only. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We may also utilize social media such as Facebook, Twitter and an online blog to increase our presence online and communicate the value we can add.
We do not have any specific marketing channels in place at this point to market our services to potential customers. In the next year ended we plan to market our services through word of mouth or personal referrals. We also plan to advertise in startup and development stage specific journals and online media. Referrals from companies that are satisfied with our provided services are likely to be our most significant and efficient form of marketing.
Competition
Our primary source of competition will come from various service providers such as business plan writers, auditors, lawyers, marketing firms as well as many other types of service providers. In addition, those startups and development stage companies that have the resources and inclination to handle these tasks in-house will not need our services.
There are also numerous established firms that offer some combination of marketing, promotional and general consulting services to startup and development stage companies in the industry. In addition, there are a number of large and well-established general marketing agencies that provide strategy and implementation services to the industry as well as a number of other industries. We are in a very competitive market and may struggle to differentiate ourselves as a specialist that provides more value for startup and development stage companies.
Services Pricing
The cost for consulting projects will depend on the scope of the project and time required to execute it. We may charge a flat fee based on the services that our clients request from us, an hourly rate, revenue share or a combination of the above in order to provide our clients with as many cost-effective options as possible. Additionally, all expenses incurred, including engaging third parties, travel as well as other approved expenses, will be passed through to the client for reimbursements.
Employees
We presently have no other employees other than our President and CEO Michael Farkas, Secretary, Carmen Villegas, CFO Ari Feldman and General Counsel, Yechiel Baron. Over time, we may hire employees and/or engage additional independent contractors to execute our projects. These decisions will be made by our officers when appropriate.
Government Regulation
Our business activities currently are subject to no regulation by government agencies other than that routinely imposed on corporate businesses. We do not anticipate any regulations specific to our business activities in the future.
Seasonality
We do not have a seasonal business cycle.
Environmental Matters
Our business currently does not implicate any environmental regulation.
Intellectual Property
We do not hold any patents, trademarks or other registered intellectual property on services or processes relating to our business. With the exception of domain name and mobile app in the future, we do not consider the grant of patents, trademarks or other registered intellectual property essential to the success of our business.
Where You Can Find Us
The Company’s principal executive office and mailing address is 407 Lincoln Road, Suite 701, Miami Beach, FL. Our telephone number is (305) 907-7600.
We have registered the domain name of http://www.balancelabs.co.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated herein that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business
AN OCCURRENCE OF AN UNCONTROLLED EVENT SUCH AS THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IS LIKELY TO NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS
A resurgence of COVID -19 pandemic may adversely impact our operations and demand for our services and our ability to find new clients. This is due in part to potential restrictions such as: social distancing requirements; stay at home orders and the shutdown of non-essential businesses and the impact these restrictions have on small businesses and their ability to generate revenues which effects their ability to afford our services.
IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING OR SUFFICIENT REVENUES, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL
We have had limited operations since our formation. There can be no assurance that management of the Company will be successful in completing the Company’s business development plan, devise a marketing plan to successfully reach the companies in this field or that the Company will generate sufficient revenues to meet its expenses or to achieve or maintain profitability.
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete the full development of our business plan, and we most likely will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. We currently have minimal operations, and we are not currently generating revenue or net income.
The Company currently does not have sufficient funds to support its obligations. As a result, the Company will require additional financing to execute its business plan through raising additional capital and/or beginning to generate revenue.
We do not currently have any firm arrangements for financing, and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such additional financing if required. Obtaining additional financing is subject to a number of factors, including current financial condition as well as general market conditions. These factors affect the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us. And if additional financing is not arranged, the company faces the risk of going out of business. The Company’s management is currently engaged in actively pursuing multiple financing options to obtain the capital necessary to execute the Company’s business plan, however, there cannot be any assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source, or if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us.
OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM HAS RAISED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, these conditions raise substantial doubt from our independent auditor about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our plans regarding these matters are also described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should our company be unable to continue as a going concern.
We will require additional capital to implement our business plan and support our operations. Currently, we have no established bank financing arrangements. Therefore, depending on the revenue growth rate, we may need to seek additional financing through a future private offering of our equity or debt securities, or through strategic partnerships and other arrangements with corporate partners. We believe we will be successful in these efforts; however, there can be no assurance we will meet our internal revenue forecasts or, if necessary, be successful in raising additional debt or equity financing to fund our operations on terms agreeable to the company. These matters raise substantial doubt from our independent auditor about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern. We presently do not have enough cash on hand to sustain our operations. If we are unable to meet our internal revenue forecasts or obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we may have to delay vendor payments and/or initiate cost reductions, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately, we could be forced to discontinue our operations, liquidate, and/or seek reorganization under the U.S. bankruptcy code.
ADDITIONAL FINANCING MAY ADVERSLY EFFECT TO YOUR INTEREST
If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, we may also have to issue securities that may have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to our Common Stock. In the event we seek to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt or its equivalents, this will result in increased interest expense.
LIMITED EXPERIENCE IN MANAGING AND OPERATING A PUBLIC COMPANY
Our current management has limited experience managing and operating a public company and relies in many instances on the professional experience and advice of third parties including its attorneys and accountants. Failure to adequately comply with laws, rules, or regulations applicable to our business may result in fines or regulatory action, which may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition and could result in delays in the development of an active and liquid trading market for our stock.
SIGNIGFICANT COSTS TO BE A PUBLIC COMPANY
We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. In addition, we may not be able to absorb these costs of being a public company which will negatively affect our business operations. Based on our management’s reasonable estimates, we anticipate that our cost of being a public company, including legal, audit costs, printing, filing fees and other costs will be between $50,000 and $75,000 per year.
SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACT TO OUR CAPITAL RESERVE OF ANY LIABLE UNINSURABLE CLAIM
Although we are in the process of obtaining the necessary Director and Officer liability insurance, we do not have any insurance to cover potential risks and general liabilities, including, but not limited to, injuries or economic losses arising out of or relating to our omission or errors in providing our services. Even if we decide to obtain insurance coverage in the future, it is possible that: (1) we may not be able to get enough insurance to meet our needs; (2) we may have to pay very high premiums for the additional coverage; (3) we may not be able to acquire any insurance for certain types of business risk; or (4) we may have gaps in coverage for certain risks. We may be exposed to potential uninsured claims for which we could have to expend significant amounts of capital. Consequently, if we were found liable for a significant uninsured claim in the future, we may be forced to expend a significant amount of our capital to resolve the uninsured claim.
COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THE COMPANY
Our majority shareholder, Balance Holdings, LLC, which our Chairman of the Board, Michael D. Farkas has investing and dispositive power of, beneficially own approximately 59.9% of our common stock. Mr. Farkas also has investing and dispositive power of Shilo Holding Group LLC, which own approximately 5.08% of our common stock. Therefore, Mr. Farkas is able to exercise control over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our certificate of incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions, and he also has significant control over our management and policies. The directors elected thereof will be able to significantly influence decisions affecting our capital structure. This control may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our other shareholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interest.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
We will be dependent on services from our management team, including Chairman of the Board and CEO, Michael D. Farkas, CFO, Ari Feldman and Secretary, Carmen Villegas. The loss of our officers and/or key employees could have a material adverse effect on the operations and prospects of the Company. Our management is expected to handle all marketing and sales efforts and manage the operations. Their responsibilities include formalizing business arrangements with third party service providers, directing the development of the Company website and other online communication tools, and formulating marketing materials to be used during presentations and meetings. At this time, we do not have an employment agreement with Ms. Villegas though the Company may enter into such an agreement with her on terms and conditions usual and customary for its industry. The Company does have an employment agreement with Mr. Farkas and Mr. Feldman. The Company does not currently have “key man” life insurance on Ms. Villegas, Mr. Feldman or Mr. Farkas.
HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKET
There are numerous established companies that offer some combination of marketing, promotional and general consulting services to startup and development stage companies in the industry. In addition, there are several large and well-established full-service consulting firms that provide strategy and implementation services to a broad spectrum of industries. We are a new entry into this competitive market and may struggle to differentiate ourselves as a specialist that provides more value for startup and development stage companies.
INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws include provisions that fully eliminate the personal liability of the directors of the Company for monetary damages possible under the laws of the State of Delaware or other applicable law. These provisions eliminate the liability of directors to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages arising out of any violation of a director of his fiduciary duty of due care. Under Delaware law, however, such provisions do not eliminate the personal liability of a director for (i) breach of the director’s duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) payment of dividends or repurchases of stock other than from lawfully available funds, or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit. These provisions do not affect a director’s liabilities under the federal securities laws or the recovery of damages by third parties.
POTENTIAL CLIENTS’ MAY NOT HAVE THE FUNDS OR THE NEED TO OUTSOURCE THIS WORK
Some companies have the resources to handle the strategy and implementation of these services in-house. Other companies may have limited available resources which will prohibit them from engaging us to help them develop and implement their strategy. Therefore, we risk having a limited niche potential client base.
COMPANY MAY RELY UPON INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS TO IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS
In order to implement our services at a scale commensurate with the business plan, we will most likely engage independent contractors who will need to be mentored and actively managed to ensure that their work product meets the standards of our Company. Recruiting, engaging, contracting, and maintaining independent contractors who can perform this work could cause delays, unplanned expenses and other adverse results for the Company.
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT AND COMPLIANCE WITH THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002, INCLUDING ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING ACCEPTABLE INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING, ARE COSTLY AND MAY INCREASE SUBSTANTIALLY
The rules and regulations of the SEC require a public company to prepare and file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, which will require that the Company engage legal, accounting, auditing and other professional services. The engagement of such services is costly. Additionally, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes- Oxley Act”) requires, among other things, that we design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls and procedures over financial reporting. The costs of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the limited technically qualified personnel we have may make it difficult for us to design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. In the event that we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may not be able to produce reliable financial reports or report fraud, which may harm our overall financial condition and result in loss of investor confidence and a decline in our share price.
As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Despite recent reforms made possible by the JOBS Act, compliance with these rules and regulations will nonetheless increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and operating results.
We are working with our legal, independent accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our growth and our obligations as a public company. These areas include corporate governance, corporate control, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas. However, we anticipate that the expenses that will be required in order to adequately prepare for being a public company could be material. We estimate that the aggregate cost of increased legal services; accounting and audit functions; personnel, such as a chief financial officer familiar with the obligations of public company reporting; consultants to design and implement internal controls; and financial printing alone will be a few hundred thousand dollars per year and could be several hundred thousand dollars per year. In addition, if and when we retain independent directors and/or additional members of senior management, we may incur additional expenses related to director compensation and/or premiums for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, the costs of which we cannot estimate at this time. We may also incur additional expenses associated with investor relations and similar functions, the cost of which we also cannot estimate at this time. However, these additional expenses individually, or in the aggregate, may also be material.
In addition, being a public company could make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees, or as executive officers.
The increased costs associated with operating as a public company may decrease our net income or increase our net loss and may cause us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products or services to offset the effect of such increased costs. Additionally, if these requirements divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
IF WE FAIL TO MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING, THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED
We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation and due to the lack of segregation of duties due to small Company staff size our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely affect our public disclosures regarding our business, prospects, financial condition, or results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
THERE IS A LIMITED PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES
Our common stock is not listed on any national securities exchange. Accordingly, investors may find it more difficult to buy and sell our shares than if our common stock was traded on an exchange. Although our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink, it is an unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter market which provides significantly less liquidity than the NASDAQ Capital Market or other national securities exchange. These factors may have an adverse impact on the trading and price of our common stock. And our common stock may be less attractive for margin loans, for investment by financial institutions, as consideration in future capital raising transactions or other purposes.
NOT LIKELY TO PAY DIVIDENDS
We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future but will review this policy as circumstances dictate.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE SEC’S “PENNY STOCK” RULES
We are subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules if our shares of Common Stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction, the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our Common Stock. As long as our shares of Common Stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of Common Stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

Plan of Operations
Our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to continue to prepare our clients for the many inevitable challenges they will encounter and to develop a customized plan for them to help overcome these obstacles, so that they can focus on marketing their product(s) and/or service(s) to their potential customers.
Although we’ve only worked with three clients since inception, our goal is to add and service a minimum of two to three new clients between now and the end of 2023. We’re marketing our services through both personal contact and online by (a) mining our existing network of professional contacts via personal outreach programs, which will also target international prospects that may wish to enter the US market; (b) expanding our network by attending targeted conferences and professional gatherings; and (c) utilizing our website at www.balancelabs.co, plus engaging potential clients on social media, including LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. However, because we have a limited budget allocated for an on-line marketing campaign, we anticipate that professionals within our professional network and personal referrals from companies that are satisfied with our professional services are likely to be our most significant and efficient near-term form of marketing.
The Company incorporated or formed nine subsidiaries since 2016, Balance Labs, LLC, Balance AgroTech Co., Advanced AutoTech Co., Balance Cannabis Co., Balance Medical Marijuana Co. Krypto Ventures Inc, formerly known as KryptoBank Co., a former subsidiary. Except for Krypto Ventures Inc., formerly known as KryptoBank Co. all of the subsidiaries are wholly owned by the company.

Our primary requirement for funding is for working capital in order to accommodate temporary negative cash flows from operations (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources”).
Results of Operations
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Overview
We reported a net loss attributable to the Company of $768,351 and a net loss attributable to the Company of $809,404 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a difference of $(41,053) or 5%, primarily due to an increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities and a decrease in consulting income from a related party in the form of stock and cash.
Revenues - Related Party
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we generated $247,500 and $624,590, respectively in revenue. The primary reason for the decrease in revenue was due to a decrease of the consulting income received from EZFill Holdings, Inc.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $21,236 and $29,963 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $8,727 or 29% primarily due to decrease in office expenses.
Professional Fees
Professional fees were $139,263 and $104,729 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $34,534 or 33% due to an increase in legal and accounting fees.
Salaries and Wages
Wages were $49,837 and $145,472 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $95,635 or 66% due to a decrease in salaries expense.
Other Income and Expense
Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $745,515. Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $1,033,830. This represents a difference of 28% which was attributable to less unrealized losses associated with the sale of securities.
Unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities
Unrealized loss on available for sale securities for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $401,250. Unrealized gain on available for sale securities for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $822,533. This represents a decrease of $421,283 or 51% attributable to less losses associated with the sales of securities.
Net Loss allocated from Equity Method Investee
Net loss allocated from Equity Method Investee for the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $47,255 and $13,591 respectively, an increase of 247 % primarily due to an increase in expenses from operating expenses by the investees.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following.
December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021
Cash $ 235,311 $ 227,558
Working capital (deficiency) $ (3,681,157 ) $ (2,962,958 )
Availability of Additional Funds
As described elsewhere in this annual report, we currently do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures. We are actively pursuing new client relationships. Even if we were to add a new client(s), due to our current lack of a diversified client base, there could be temporary imbalances between cash receipts and cash operating expenditures, which means that we may need additional capital. The engagement revenues associated with most client engagements will self-fund the in-house and sub-contractor services we need in order to supply products and services to our clients.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3,681,157. The Company net cash provided in operations was $7,753. In addition, the Company is working to manage its current liabilities while it continues to make changes in operations to further improve its cash flow and liquidity position. Based upon subsequent debt financing and the Company’s current cash flow projections, management believes the Company will have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow requirements for the next year ended.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
We experienced positive cash flows from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 of $7,753. This was primarily due to an unrealized gain of $401,249 on available for sale securities, with an increase in bad debt of $151,714, a net loss of $768,351. The negative cash flows of $56,896 for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to an unrealized loss of $822,533 on available for sale securities, $352,090 of investment received in exchange, gain on deconsolidation of subsidiary of 153,907 and a partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses by $269,989.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $0 and $203,678, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2021, $144,000 of cash used in investing activities were for a note receivable to an unrelated party, improvements on the existing Krypto Ventures Inc., formerly known as KryptoBank website for $9,500 and cash disposed in deconsolidation of subsidiary of $53, 718.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $0 and $482,500, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2021, increase of proceeds of $407,500 from related parties, and note payable an increase of $75,000 compared to $0 and $0 respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2022.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as of December 31, 2022. The consolidated financial statements in this annual report on Form 10-K have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, these conditions raise substantial doubt from our independent auditor about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Therefore, we will need to raise additional capital in the future to continue our operations There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. We will be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses 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. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets and our history of losses, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings .If the Company is unable to meet its internal revenue forecasts or obtain additional financing on a timely basis, it may have to delay vendor payments and/or initiate cost reductions, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately it could be forced to discontinue the Company’s operations, liquidate, and/or seek reorganization under the U.S. bankruptcy code.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates may include those pertaining to accruals, stock-based compensation and income taxes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for its revenues under FASB ASC 606, that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all the five following criteria are met: (1) Identify the Contract with a Customer, (2) Identify the Performance Obligations in the Contract, (3) Determine the Transaction Price, (4) Allocate the Transaction Price to the Performance Obligations in the Contract, and (5) Recognize Revenue When (or As) the Entity Satisfies a Performance Obligation. The Company recognizes consulting income when the services are performed, and performance obligations are satisfied, over time or point of time.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, and the short-term portion of long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities (ASC 820). This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have implemented all new accounting standards that are in effect and may impact our consolidated financial statements and do not believe that there are any other new accounting standards that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Balance Labs, Inc. and Subsidiaries.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Balance Labs Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph- 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 financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $768,351, for the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $4,161,312 and had negative working capital of $3,681,157. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s 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 consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit 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.

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of:
Balance Labs, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Balance Labs, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph - 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 statement, the Company has experienced net losses since inception and negative cash flows from operations and has relied on loans from related parties to fund its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are 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 consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated 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.

Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Revenues received from related party in exchange for services
As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company received investment securities in the form of shares as well as cash payment from a related party in exchange for past and current consulting services provided to a related party. The Company recognized the revenues from related party during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Evaluating the identification of related party transaction and auditing the revenue recognized in the form of shares is highly judgmental as it involves a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity due to the management’s assessment and methodologies used in the valuation and the significant assumptions used by the Company.
To test the proper revenue recognition and identification of related party transaction, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, performing substantive testing on the existence of customer arrangements, inquiring of management to gain an understanding of the nature and scope of the related consulting service, reading public filings of the related party and evaluating the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained by assessing the results of procedures performed over the identification of related party transactions. To test the proper valuation of the investment securities, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, not limited to, evaluating the methodologies used in the valuation and the significant assumptions used by the Company.
Valuation and impairment of investment
As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded the investments, at fair value, categorized as Level 1 through Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of these investments is determined by management using the valuation techniques and significant observable and unobservable inputs depending on the fair value hierarchy. The Company also recorded impairment of investment during the year ended December 31, 2021 due to the change in the investment securities.
Auditing the fair value of the Company’s investments within the fair value hierarchy involved a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity due to the management’s assessments of significant observable and unobservable inputs depending on the fair value hierarchy and methodologies used in the valuation and the significant assumptions and used by the Company.
To test the proper valuation and impairment of the investment, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, not limited to, evaluating the methodologies used in the valuation and the significant assumptions and inputs used by the Company.
Deconsolidation of Subsidiary
As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company deconsolidated one of its subsidiaries upon entering into a share exchange agreement. The difference between the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary that were deconsolidated resulted in a gain from deconsolidation. The Company received shares of common stock in the publicly traded entity from the share exchange agreement.
Auditing the fair value of the Company’s carrying value of assets and liabilities at the date of deconsolidation involved a high degree of auditor judgment specifically on the management’s assessments on valuation of the shares received from the share exchange agreement and the carrying value of the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities.
To test the accounting for the deconsolidation of the subsidiary, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, obtaining and evaluating the share exchange agreement and other information that corroborated management’s assessment of the carrying value of the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities. We then compared them to our assessments.
To test the valuation of the shares received from the share exchange agreement, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, inquiring of management to gain an understanding of the nature and scope of the share exchange agreement, reading the filing of the publicly traded entity the Company entered into the share exchange with, and evaluating the methodologies used in the valuation, and the significant assumptions and inputs used by the Company.

BALANCE LABS, INC. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2022 and 2021
Note 1 - Business Organization and Nature of Operations
Balance Labs, Inc. (“Balance Labs” or the “Company”) was incorporated on June 5, 2014 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Balance Labs is a consulting firm that provides business development and consulting services to start up and development stage businesses. The Company offers services to help businesses in various industries improve and fine tune their business models, sales and marketing plans and internal operations as well as make introductions to professional services such as business plan writing, accounting firms and legal service providers.
The Company leverages its knowledge in developing businesses with entrepreneurs and start up companies’ management whereby it creates a customized plan for them to overcome obstacles so that they can focus on marketing their product(s) and/or service(s) to their potential customers.
Note 2 - Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced net losses since inception. The Company has relied primarily on loans from related parties to fund its operations with a net loss of $768,351 for the year of 2022 and stockholders’ deficit of $4,161,312 as of December 31, 2022. There is substantial doubt about the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of these financial statements were issued. This will not sustain the Company without additional funds. Management plans to raise additional capital within the next year ended that will sustain its operations for the next year. In addition, the Company will begin an active marketing campaign to market its services. There can be no assurance that such a plan will successful. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has $2,000 and $2,000 in cash equivalents, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates may include those pertaining to stock-based compensation, depreciable lives of fixed assets and deferred tax assets. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at fair value on the date revenue is recognized. The Company provides allowances for doubtful accounts by specific customer identification. No allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2022 was required. If market conditions decline, actual collections may not meet expectations and may result in decreased cash flow and increased bad debt expense. Once collection efforts by the Company and its collection agency are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made.
Joint Venture
Balance Labs, Inc. and subsidiaries use the equity method to account for their financial interest.
For the year ending December 31, 2022, the investment in iGrow Systems Inc was disposed and we recognized a gain of $83,064 on the investment in iGrow Systems which is included as Gain on disposal of non-controlling interest on the accompanying statement of operations. iGrow Systems Inc has closed and is no longer in operations as of December 31, 2022.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for its revenues under FASB ASC 606, that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all the five following criteria are met: (1) Identify the Contract with a Customer, (2) Identify the Performance Obligations in the Contract, (3) Determine the Transaction Price, (4) Allocate the Transaction Price to the Performance Obligations in the Contract, and (5) Recognize Revenue When (or As) the Entity Satisfies a Performance Obligation.
The Company recognizes consulting income when the services are performed, and performance obligations are satisfied over time or point of time.
Income Taxes
The Company's revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 is earned from one consulting contracting which the term ended in November 2022 and has not yet been renewed.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included or excluded in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740-10, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
Management has evaluated and concluded that there are no material tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date. The Company’s, 2020, 2021, and 2022 tax returns remain open for audit for Federal and State taxing authorities.
The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.
Marketable Securities
The Company accounts for marketable and available-for-sale securities under ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.
The Company accounts for its investment in Bang Holdings, Corp as available-for-sale securities, therefore, in 2021 the unrealized gain on the available-for-sale securities has been recorded in other income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company accounts for its investment in EZFill Holdings, Inc. as marketable securities pursuant to the S-1 Registration Statement declared effective on September 14, 2021, therefore, the unrealized gain on the available-for sale securities during the year ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 has been recorded in Other Expense on the Income Statement.
On December 2, 2020, the Company received 1,000,000 shares from EZFill Holdings, Inc, a related party, for past services, with each share valued at $1 each. At the time of acquiring these shares, EZFill Holdings, Inc. was not a publicly traded company.
On September 14, 2021, the S-1 Registration Statement for EZFill Holdings, Inc. was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of becoming a publicly traded company, our investment is now recorded at fair value as available-for-sale securities on December 31, 2022, with the gains and losses being recorded through other income on the consolidated statements of operations.
On November 18, 2020, the Company executed a two (2) year, third-party consulting agreement for various corporate services. The current service agreement has expired effective November 18, 2022. In connection with this agreement, and with the effectiveness of the Company’s Form S-1 registration statement, the Company was entitled to compensation as follows:
● 1,000,000 shares of common stock having a fair value of $1,000,000 ($1.00/share), each based on a recent cash price of the related party,

● during the first year of the agreement, $25,000 per month, with the 1st payment due 30 days after the completion of the Company’s IPO,
● during the second year of the agreement, $22,500 per month, and
● on each anniversary of the agreement, 500,000 shares of common stock.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. As of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of marketable securities was $148,808, which consist of common shares held in one (1) investment which currently is trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). At December 31, 2022, the Company owned 531,539 shares after a reverse stock split adjustment of 1 for 3.763243 and the fair value of the investment in EZFill Holdings, Inc. was reported on the balance sheet as Investment at fair value - related party totaling $148,808 ($0.28/share). Recorded an adjustment of $401,250 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2022, as unrealized loss on securities.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned corporate subsidiaries, Balance Labs LLC., and Balance Labs Inc. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. The Company’s four subsidiaries, Balance AgroTech Co., Advanced AutoTech Co., Balance Cannabis Co., and Balance Medical Marijuana Co. are dormant. The Company had a non-controlling interest of 43.15% in iGrow Systems Inc., iGrow Systems Inc has closed and is no longer in operations as of December 31, 2022.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and warrants from convertible debentures outstanding during the periods. The effect of 0 and 740,000 warrants and 3,756,496 and 3,003,137 shares from convertible notes payable for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees.
The Company has computed the fair value of warrants granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected term used for warrants is the contractual life. Since the Company’s stock has not been publicly traded for a sufficiently long period, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments the Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, and the short-term portion of long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities (ASC 820). This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
● Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
● Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
● Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.
The following table presents certain assets of the Company’s measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheet on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2022.

In September 31, 2021, the Company reclassified its EzFill investment of $148,808 of available-for-sale securities previously reported as Level 3 to Level 1 assets on the fair value hierarchy because the investment is valued based on quoted market price using observable inputs.
The Company accounted for its investment in Bang Holdings, Corp as available-for-sale securities as level 3 due to unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists. In 2021, the investment in Bang Holdings Corp. was fully impaired due to the Company being delisted from OTC Pink Sheets and not having a liquid trading market at that time. The Company recorded an impairment expense of $195,000.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $1,338,000 of federal and state net operating loss carryovers (“NOLs”). From this amount, $711,000 expire after 20 years, and can be carried back 2 years, according to the old tax law, while $627,000 can be carried forward indefinitely and cannot be carried back, in accordance with the new tax rules. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $114,310 for the year ended December 31, 2022, and increased by $251,726 for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The Company, after considering all available evidence, fully reserved its deferred tax assets since it is more likely than not that such benefits may be realized in future periods. The Company has not yet established that it can generate taxable income. The Company will continue to evaluate its deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit. If it is determined in future periods that portions of the Company’s deferred tax assets satisfy the realization standards, the valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this annual Report on Form 10-K, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act 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.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
This Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, 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 and includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;
(2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and
(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is appropriately recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the specified time periods.
Management has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this annual Report on Form 10-K, based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO 2013”).
Based on this assessment, management concluded that as of the year covered by this annual Report on Form 10-K, it had material weaknesses in its internal control procedures.
As of the year covered by this annual Report on Form 10-K, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective. The Company’s assessment identified certain material weaknesses which are set forth below:
Functional Controls, Lack of Audit Committee and Segregation of Duties
Because of the Company’s limited resources, there are limited controls over information processing.
The Company does not have an audit committee and therefore there is no independent review and independent oversight over the Company’s financial reporting.
There is an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Our Company’s management is composed of a small number of individuals resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation, we would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of duties. Management will reassess this matter at end of the fiscal year to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is feasible.
Accordingly, as the result of identifying the above material weakness we have concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and are intrinsic to our small size. Management believes these weaknesses did not have a material effect on our financial results and intends to take remedial actions upon receiving funding for the Company’s business operations.
This annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report herein.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
