Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

As of March 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

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 has the following consolidated subsidiaries:

BalanceLabs, LLC., formed October 12, 2015, Balance AgroTech Co., formed July 11, 2016, Advanced AutoTech Co., formed May 10, 2016, Balance Medical Marijuana Co., formed December 22, 2015, Balance Cannabis Co. formed May 13, 2016 and majority owned (51%) KryptoBank Co., formed December 27, 2017. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company used $109,932 of cash in operating activities and currently has $9,991 in cash. 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 twelve months 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 condensed 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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has $2,000 and $2,000 in cash equivalents, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed 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 in 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.

As of March 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASC 606, which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model 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. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the previous accounting standards. There was no impact to revenues as a result of applying ASC 606.

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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2019. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date. The Company’s 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 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 condensed consolidated financial statements herein. The Company holds two investments on its Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019. Our investment in Bang Holdings Corp., is recorded at fair value on March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. 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.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements and determined that it had a significant impact on the condensed 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 three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2019, the carrying value of marketable securities was $235,000, 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 condensed 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. 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 in iGrow Systems Inc., which is not included in this consolidation.

As of March 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

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 2,920,000 warrants and 2,610,925 shares from convertible notes payable for the months ended March 31, 2018 are dilutive and are included in the diluted income per share calculation. The effect of 700,000 and 2,220,000 warrants and 2,845,565 and 0 shares from convertible notes payable for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 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:

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, 2018.

The following is a reconciliation of the level 3 Assets:

Business Segments

The Company operates in one 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 unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, advertising, marketing and promotion expense was $312 and $261, 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 to five years.

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.

Property and equipment as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following:

Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 totaled $69 and $3,536 respectively. There were no additions during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following:

Reclassifications

Certain 2019 amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the fiscal 2018 presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported net loss.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has evaluated all new accounting standards that are in effect and may impact its unaudited condensed 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 February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019. After reviewing of this ASU we have determined it will have no impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements and determined that it had a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Since the Company accounts for its investment in Bang Holdings, Corp. as available-for-sale securities, the fair value from 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 three months ended March 31, 2019 has been recorded in Other Income on the Income Statement.

From April 1, 2019 to May 15, 2019, entities controlled by the CEO made short term advances to the Company of $58,000.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of the condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition of Balance Labs, Inc., and subsidiaries (“Balance Labs” or the “Company”) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to “us,” “we,” “our,” and similar terms refer to Balance Labs. This Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the federal securities laws, based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are beyond our control, which may influence the accuracy of the statements and the projections upon which the statements are based. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2019.

Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We were 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 companies. We provide 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 these businesses to experienced professional contacts that would be vital to the success of these companies.

The Company is not a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and does not engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities. The Company is not managed like an active investment vehicle, is not an investment company registered under the 1940 Act, and is not required to register under the 1940 Act.

Additionally, in accordance with the 1940 Act, Section 3(c)(1), the Company is not an Investment Company as defined by the 1940 Act because the Company does not have outstanding securities beneficially owned by more than one hundred persons and, at this time, the Company is not making and does not presently propose to make a public offering of its securities. Additionally, the Company has not and has no plans to purchase or acquire any securities issued by any registered investment company.

Our business focuses on providing advisement services 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 experienced professionals who could help these inexperienced entrepreneurs further implement their ideas. Startups and development stage businesses across all industries commonly experience these certain “growing pains”.

Plan of Operations

Our plan is to prepare our clients for the many inevitable challenges they will encounter and to 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.

Although we’ve only worked with two clients since inception, our goal is to add and service a minimum of two to three new clients between now and the end of 2019. 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 our year one 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 six subsidiaries since 2016, BalanceLabs, LLC, Balance AgroTech Co., Advanced AutoTech Co., Balance Cannabis Co., Balance Medical Marijuana Co., and KryptoBank Co. Except for KryptoBank Co. all of the subsidiaries are wholly owned by the company.

In November 2018, the Company acquired a non-controlling minority interest in a new startup company, iGrow Systems, Inc. As of March 31, 2019, this investment has a value of $21,134 based on the equity method of accounting. iGrow Systems, Inc., is developing a plant growing device for home use.

iGrow Systems, Inc., as part of its initial funding borrowed $15,000 from KryptoBank Co. Both advances will be repaid when the company receives its initial funding.

KryptoBank Co., as part of its initial funding, borrowed an additional $100,000 from its shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2018. The notes have a stated interest rate of 12% compounded annually and are due on demand. The balance outstanding as of March 31, 2019 is $100,000.

We believe that we can support our year one clients with our existing full-time staff, supplemented with part-time sub-contracted professionals and service providers, as necessary. Between now and the end of 2019, we intend to formalize our relationships with these sub-contractors so that we can offer our clients turn-key business development products and services.

Our primary requirement for funding is for working capital in order to accommodate temporary imbalances between cash receipts and cash expenditures (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources”).

Results of Operations 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Overview

We reported a net loss of $249,118 and income of $ 82,734 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $331,852, or 401%, primarily due to a $250,000 decrease in the value of an investment and an increase in interest expense.

Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we generated $3,333 of revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 we generated $0 in revenue.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $48,746 and $50,731 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $1,985, or 4%. The decrease cost was a result of lower rent expense.

Interest expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 was $36,920 and $29,669, respectively, which was attributable to an increase in borrowing from a related party.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:

Availability of Additional Funds

Except for the monthly consulting fee to our CEO and Chairman of the Board and the month-to-month lease of our office space, as described elsewhere in this Quarterly 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 March 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,623,650. The Company used cash in operations of $109,932. The Company has raised $122,200 in debt financing from related parties during the three months ended March 31, 2019. 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 twelve months.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

We experienced negative cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 in the amount of $109,932 and $116,093 respectively. This was primarily due to a net loss of $249,118 partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses by $97,793. The cash flow of March 31, 2018 was primarily due to the unrealized gain on available for sale securities of $265,000.  

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 was $122,200 and $182,750. In 2019, cash received through financing activities as of March 31, 2019 was $122,200 from related parties.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 was $29,500 and $1,561, respectively. In 2019 cash used in investing activities of $29,500 was for capital contributions to the joint venture.

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, 2018. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this report on Form 10-Q have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, these conditions raise substantial doubt from 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 financial statements. The 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.

The Company anticipates the receipt of funding within such period, but there can be no assurance that it will occur. 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 recognizes revenue related to its professional services to its customers when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has been completed or services have been rendered; (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We have adopted ASU 2014 and it did not have a material impact on our financial statements. 

Recent Accounting Standards

We have implemented all new accounting standards that are in effect and may impact our 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.

On January 5, 2016 effective January 1, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Although the ASU retains many current requirements, it significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity Securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value, the ASU also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The ASU requires the entity to carry all investments in equity securities at fair value through net income. Prior to January 1, 2018, unrealized gain were reflected only on the balance sheet at fair value by increasing the amount of the investment while also increasing the shareholders’ equity with no effect to that income. In the beginning of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016 and it has had a material effect on our statement of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019 had no effect on our financial statements.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10 Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606): “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606. We have adopted the provisions of this ASU and determined that it did not have any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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:

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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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 period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, it had material weaknesses in its internal control procedures.

As of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

To the best of our knowledge, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our property is the subject. From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Not applicable.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

There were no unregistered sales of the Company’s equity securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

On December 23, 2015, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note in the amount of $25,000 (the “Note”) in favor of Chase Mortgage LLC. The Note became due on March 23, 2016 and is now in default. The Note carries a default interest rate of $18% and contains a provision that the lender may convert any part of the Note, including accrued interest that is unpaid into the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

On April 1, 2016, the Company received $500,000 in exchange for the issuance of a convertible debenture due April 2, 2017 (the “Debenture”) in favor of Newell Trading Group LLC. This Debenture is now in default. The Debenture contains a provision that the lender may convert any part of the Debenture into the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share, unless the note is paid by the company prior to the holder’s election to convert. The accrued interest on the convertible debenture as of March 31, 2019, is $150,034.

On September 30, 2016, the CEO loaned $120,000 as a convertible note payable to the Company at an interest rate of 10%, due on October 1, 2017. In addition, the Company issued 600,000 warrants at an execution price of $1.00 which expire on October 1, 2019. (See Note 5). $30,025 in interest has been accrued as of March 31, 2019. The loan is in default as of March 31, 2019.

As of March 31, 2019, the CEO and Company’s controlled by the CEO have loaned the company a total of $880,089, in addition to a convertible debenture of $120,000. With the exception of the convertible debenture whose interest rate is 10%, the loans carry an interest rate of 8% and mature on year and one day from the date of the loan. $501,689 of these loans plus the $120,000 convertible debenture are in default as of March 31, 2019. The company has accrued interest on the loans of $351 as of March 31, 2019.
