PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements

BIO LAB NATURALS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2021

Note 1 – Organization and History

Vyta Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada in June 1996. On August 20, 2010, it changed its state of incorporation to Delaware and on November 5, 2010 it changed its name to Bio Lab Naturals, Inc. On August 20, 2010, the Company executed a redomicile merger with its wholly owned subsidiary Vyta Corp (Delaware), as result of the merger the Company’s corporate domicile moved from Nevada to Delaware.

Prior to 2011, the Company was involved in various business activities and since then the Company has been seeking a business opportunity.

Effective December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a Reorganization Agreement with Prime Time Live, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“PTL”), whereby PTL merged with a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the subsidiary being the survivor in exchange for the Company issuing one share of its common stock for each share of PTL’s 5,500,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bio Lab Naturals, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances have been eliminated during consolidation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the fair value of assets and liabilities, income taxes and the valuation allowances related to accounts receivable, deferred tax assets and contingencies.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits carried at cost which approximates fair value. The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company offers its services to a small number of clients. This risk of non-payment by these clients is considered minimal and the Company does not generally obtain collateral for sales. The Company continually monitors the credit standing of its clients.

Accounts Receivable

The Company records accounts receivable at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances and is charged to other income (expense) in the statements of operations. Management calculates this allowance based on its history of write-offs, the level of past-due accounts based on the contractual terms of the receivables, and the Company’s relationships with, and the economic status of, its clients. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there are no allowance for uncollectible accounts.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2021

Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost and consists of screen video and related equipment. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation of equipment is over the estimated useful life of five to ten years using the straight-line method for consolidated financial statement purposes. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were capitalized costs of $76,166 and $ $167,672, respectively. Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $3,760 and $8,449, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company sold a used screen for $14,700 and as a result reported a loss on the disposition of its asset in the amount of $73,046.

Revenue recognition

The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014 - 09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), using the full retrospective transition method. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2014 - 09 did not have a material impact on the amount and timing of revenue recognized in its consolidated financial statements.

Under ASU 2014 - 09, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised services is transferred to clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

The Company derives its revenues from the rendering of entertainment rental services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its contracts:

Identify the contract with a client;

Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

Determine the transaction price;

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

Recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, as set forth in Topic 360 of the ASC, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived assets when events occur that indicate an impairment in value may exist. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.

Other Comprehensive Loss

The Company has no material components of other comprehensive loss and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss for the period.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the accounting bases and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are

BIO LAB NATURALS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2021

computed using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

The Company's deferred income taxes include certain future tax benefits. The Company records a valuation allowance against any portion of those deferred income tax assets when it believes, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

The Company has adopted ASC guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements and applies to all income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the consolidated financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no uncertain tax positions that required accrual.

Goodwill

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, goodwill cannot be amortized, however, it must be tested annually for impairment. This impairment test is calculated at the reporting unit level. The goodwill impairment test has two steps. The first identifies potential impairments by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its book value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired and the second step is not necessary. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the second step calculates the possible impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount. If the implied goodwill is less than the carrying amount, a write-down is recorded. Management tests goodwill each year for impairment, or when facts or circumstances indicate impairment has occurred. See Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements.

Loss per Share

Basic net loss per common share of stock is calculated by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, including the effect of other dilutive securities. The Company’s had no potentially dilutive securities issued as of and during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Equity Based Payments

The Company recognizes compensation cost for equity-based awards based on estimated fair value of the award and records capitalized cost or compensation expense over the requisite service period.  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As part of its ongoing business, the Company has not participated in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (SPEs), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. For the period through March 31, 2021, the Company has not been involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events and transactions after the balance sheet date but before the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Note 3 – Going Concern and Managements’ Plan

The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $139,038 and an accumulated deficit of $35,582,890 at March 31, 2021.

The Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to attract additional capital and ultimately, upon its ability to develop future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such financing, or that it will attain positive cash flow from operations. However, management believes that actions presently being taken to raise additional capital as more fully disclosed in these consolidated financial statements provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the authoritative guidance applicable to all financial assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported on a fair value basis, as well as to non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including impairments of long-lived assets. The fair value of an asset or liability is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable input are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based on the information available in the circumstances.

Financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are classified within the valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period in which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer. The Company has consistently applied the valuation techniques discussed below in all periods presented. The hierarchy is organized into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; or

Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable; or

Level 3: Unobservable pricing inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company did not measure the financial or non-financial assets and liabilities at March 31, 2021 as there was no event or significant change within the valuation hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks.

This Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will, “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control. These factors include but are not limited to economic conditions generally and in the industries in which we may participate; competition within our chosen industry, including competition from much larger competitors; technological advances and failure to successfully develop business relationships.

Based on our financial history since inception, our auditor has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, as of March 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit totaling $(35,582,890). This raises substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our plan of operations for the next 12 months is as follows:

The Company has been continuing its business and as a result of COVID-19 experienced no sales during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. However, management has now been able to reconnect with event services business relationships as a result of the impact from COVID-19 lessening and the normal demand for the event services business. Therefore, the Company now expects, without any new or additional steps, additional revenues to be generated during the second quarter of 2021 and continued operational status.

Results of HISTORICAL Operations

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 we recognized no sales. The Company expects to generate revenues in the second quarter of 2021 and for the next 12 months.

Gross profit loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $(12,873) compared to $(14,843) for three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in gross profit loss of $2,000 pertained primarily to a decrease in cost of sales.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized $52567 in operating expenses compared to $88,412 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The change results primarily from a decrease in consulting fees and general and administrative expenses for the current period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company used cash flows from operational activities of $73,599 that was adjusted by non-cash items of: deprecation in the amount of $3,760 and a loss on the disposition of asset in the amount of $73,046.

Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company deposited funds for the refurbish of its trailer and the purchase of a new screen for resale in the amount of $50,000 and $58,150, respectively as well as received proceeds from the sale of its used screen in the amount of $7,425.

Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company borrowed funds in the amount of $65,000 and received a deposit on the sale of a new screen in the amount of $65,000.

In order for us to continue as a going concern, we will need to obtain additional debt or equity financing and look for companies with cash flow positive operations that we can acquire. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional debt or equity financing, that we will be able to acquire cash flow positive operations, or that, if we are successful in any of those actions, those actions will produce adequate cash flow to enable us to meet all our future obligations. Most of our existing financing arrangements are short-term. If we are unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing, we may be required to significantly reduce or cease operations.

Going Concern

We have approximately $40,000 in cash as of May 5, 2021, and have incurred operating losses and limited cash flows from operations since inception. As of March 31, 2021, we had accumulated deficit of $(35,582,890) and we will require additional working capital to fund operations through 2021 and beyond. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements included in this Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments related to recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern. The audited financial statements included in the Company’s recent annual report on Form 10-K have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result if we cease to continue as a going concern.

Based on our financial history since inception, in their report on the financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2020, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that any revenue will be realized in the future.

There can be no assurance that we will have adequate capital resources to fund planned operations or that any additional funds will be available to us when needed or at all, or, if available, will be available on favorable terms or in amounts required by us. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital resources to fund operations, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our operations, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and ability to operate as a going concern.

Short Term

On a short-term basis, we have not generated revenues sufficient to cover our growth-oriented operations plan. Based on prior history, we may continue to incur losses until such a time that our revenues are sufficient to cover our operating expenses and growth-oriented operations plan. As a result, we may need additional capital in the form of equity or loans, none of which is committed as of this filing.

Capital Resources

We have only common stock as our capital resource, and our assets, including cash.

We have no material commitments for capital expenditures within the next year, however, as operations are expanded substantial capital will be needed to pay for expansion and working capital.

Need for Additional Financing

We have limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to carry out our business plan in the event production industry. Our ultimate success depends upon our ability to raise additional capital. We are investigating the availability, sources, and terms that might govern the acquisition of additional capital.

We have no commitment at this time for additional capital. If we need additional capital, we have no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to us. If not available, our operations will be limited to those that can be financed with our existing capital.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our principal executive officer/principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management has carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Due to the lack of personnel and outside directors, management acknowledges that there are deficiencies in these controls and procedures. The Company anticipates that with further resources, the Company will expand both management and the board of directors with additional officers and independent directors in order to provide sufficient disclosure controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
