Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
As
of December 31, 2020 and 2019
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,

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 and used $218,002 of cash in operating activities. The Company has relied on loans
from related parties to fund its operations. There is substantial doubt about the Company to continue as a going concern.
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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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. 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.

The
Company’s portion of the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $94,510, which exceeded its investment in the
joint venture by $132,578, which is recorded as a Current Liability in the Consolidated Financial Statements under operating agreement.
The Company also contributed capital to the joint venture of $17,500 during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Concentrations
and Credit Risk
One
customer provided 100% of revenues during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
During
2020, revenue received was from a related party, in the form of an investment, valued at $1,000,000 for past services.
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.
Income
Taxes
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, 2020. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits
within year ended of the reporting date. The Company’s 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 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.
Investments
When
the fair value of an investment is indeterminable, the Company accounts for its investments that are under 20% of the total equity outstanding
using the cost method. For investments in which the Company holds between 20-50% equity and is non-controlling are accounted for using
the equity method. For any investments in which the Company holds over 50% of the outstanding stock, the Company consolidates those entities
into their consolidated financial statements herein. The Company holds three investments on its Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020.
Our investment in Bang Holdings Corp., is recorded at fair value on December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, with the gains and losses
being recorded through other income on the income statement for the periods then ended. On November 9, 2018, the Company acquired a non-controlling
interest in iGrow Systems Inc. This investment is recorded on our balance sheet using the equity method as of December 31, 2020 and December
31, 2019. 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. The shares received are not publicly traded. Each share valued at $1 each based on a recent cash price
of the related party. This investment is recorded on our balance sheet using the cost method as of December 31, 2020.
Marketable
Securities
The
Company adopted 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, requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments
for disclosure purposes, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category
and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant
assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost.
The Company has evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements and determined
that it had a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. Since the Company accounts for its investment in Bang
Holdings, Corp. as available-for-sale securities, the fair value of the securities from the prior year has been reclassified to
Retained Earnings from Other Accumulated Comprehensive Income. The unrealized gain on the available-for-sale securities during
the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 has been recorded in Other Income on the Income Statement.
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, 2020, the carrying value of marketable securities was $215,500, which consist of
common shares held in one (1) investment which currently is trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). The Company
has classified this investment as a Level 3 asset on the fair value hierarchy because the investment is valued using unobservable
inputs, due to the fact that observable inputs are not available, or situations in which there is little, if any, market activity
for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned corporate subsidiaries, Balance Labs LLC., from October
12, 2015, Balance AgroTech Co., from July 11, 2016, Advanced Auto Tech Co., from May 10, 2016, Balance Cannabis Co., from May
13, 2016, and Balance Medical Marijuana Co from December 22, 2015, and our 51% majority owned subsidiary KryptoBank Co from December
29, 2017. 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 has a non-controlling interest
of 43.15% in iGrow Systems Inc., which is not included in this consolidation for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
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 640,000 and 740,000 warrants and
3,224,743 and 3,003,137 shares from convertible notes payable for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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.

modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits, including reducing the business tax credit for certain clinical testing

As
of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $1,482,474 of federal and state net operating loss carryovers (“NOLs”).
From this amount, $1,712,650 expire after 20 years, and can be carried back 2 years, according to the old tax law, while
$394,813 can be carried forward indefinitely and cannot be carried back, in accordance with the new tax rules. The valuation allowance
decreased by approximately $137,747 for the year ended December 31, 2020, and increased by $178,630 for the year ended
December 31, 2019.
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.
