Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

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 sheets of Balance Labs Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flow for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, 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, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, 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 $381,571, for the year ended December 31, 2023. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $5,355,098 and had negative working capital of $4,542,883. 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. 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, 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.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the 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 financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

We did not identify any critical audit matters that need to be communicated.

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 $381,571 for the year of 2023 and stockholders’ deficit of $4,542,883 as of December 31, 2023. 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts pursuant to the guidance of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) as codified in Accounts Standards Codification (ASC) 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. Under ASC 326, the Company utilizes a current and expected credit loss (CECL) impairment model. ASU 2016-13 became effective for us on January 1, 2023. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0 and $0 at December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

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 the Company had no revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023.

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, 2023 and 2022. 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 available-for-sale 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, 2023, and 2022 has been recorded in Other Expense on the Income Statement.

** **BALANCE LABS, INC. and Subsidiaries

Marketable Securities

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 condensed consolidated financial statements herein.

The Company holds one investment as of December 31, 2023, and one investments as of December 31, 2022.

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. 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,

$200,000,

During the first year of the agreement, $25,000 per month, with the 1 st 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

At December 31, 2023, the Company owned 66,432 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 $107,912 ($1.62/share). Recorded an adjustment of ($40,896) for the twelve months ending December 31, 2023, as unrealized loss on securities.

Investments – Related Parties

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 one investment as of December 31, 2023, and one investment as of December 31, 2022.

Investments

On January 29, 2021, the Company received 20% ownership of Pharmacy No, 27, Ltd, a company based in Israel, as part of a Note Receivable from a third party (see Note 5). As of December 31, 2023, the investment has a fair value of $0, based upon the quoted closing trading price and it is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet using the equity method. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $0 of unrealized loss from this investment.

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, 2023, the carrying value of marketable securities was $107,912, 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, 2023, the Company owned 66,432 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 $107,912 ($1.62/share). Recorded an adjustment of ($40,896) for the twelve months ending December 31, 2023, 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.

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 3,756,496 shares from convertible notes payable for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023.

Business Segments

The Company operates inone segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

Advertising, Marketing and Promotional Costs

Advertising, marketing, and promotional expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, advertising, marketing, and promotion expense was $7,983 and $1,740, respectively.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment consists of furniture and office equipment and is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined by using the straight-line method for furniture and office equipment, over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three tofive years.

****BALANCE LABS, INC. and Subsidiaries

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance of equipment are charged to expense as incurred. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related assets.

Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 totaled $0 and $0 respectively. There were no additions during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively.

Intangible Assets

There were no additions to Intangible Assets during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has evaluated all new accounting standards that are in effect and may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting standards that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements

Note 9 –Income Taxes

Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) that significantly reforms the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The TCJA, among other things, contains significant changes to corporate taxation, including reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, effective as of January 1, 2018; limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense; limitation of the deduction for net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and elimination of net operating loss carrybacks, in each case, for losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 (though any such tax losses may be carried forward indefinitely); modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits, including reducing the business tax credit for certain clinical testing expenses incurred in the testing of certain drugs for rare diseases or conditions generally referred to as “orphan drugs”; and repeal of the federal Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”).

The Company has the following net deferred tax asset:

A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:

For the Year ended December 31, 2023For the Year ended December 31, 2022
Expected federal statutory rate(21.00)%(21.00)%

Permanent differences(5.75)%(5.75)%
Change in valuation allowance31.10%31.10%
Income tax provision (benefit)--

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $1,512,000 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 $93,909 for the year ended December 31, 2023, and increased by $114,310 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

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.
