Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of September 30, 2022
(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 accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial position of Balance Labs as of September 30, 2022, and the unaudited condensed consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. It is recommended that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related disclosures of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2022.
Note 2 – Going Concern
The
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company
provided $
There is substantial doubt about the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company without additional sources of debt or equity capital would potentially need to cease operations. Management plans to seek to raise additional capital within the next twelve months that is expected to sustain its operations for the next year. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing. In addition, the Company expects to begin a marketing campaign to market and sell 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
Reclassification
Non-controlling interest related to the deconsolidated of KryptoBank was re-classed to retained earnings. This reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. At
September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company has $
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 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.
Joint Venture
Balance Labs, Inc. and subsidiaries use the equity method to account for their financial interest.
For the nine months ending September 30, 2022, the
investment in iGrow Systems Inc was disposed and we recognized a gain of $
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for its revenues under 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.
The Company recognizes consulting income when the consulting services are performed, which occurs at a point in time. Additionally, at the time services are performed, the Company has satisfied its single performance obligation.

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 September 30, 2022. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date. The Company’s, 2019, 2020, and 2021 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 (loss) 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 (loss) on the available-for-sale securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 has been recorded in Other Income.

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 and warrants and and shares from convertible notes payable for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
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. |

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2022 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 to Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2022. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. 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 start-up and development-stage companies. Our business model is to 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, start-up 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. Start-ups and development stage businesses across all industries commonly experience these certain “growing pains”.
| 21 |
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 three clients since inception, our goal is to add and service a minimum of two to three new clients between now and the end of 2022. We’re marketing our services through both personal contact and online by (a) mining our existing network of professional contacts via personal outreach programs, which will also target international prospects that may wish to enter the US market; (b) expanding our network by attending targeted conferences and professional gatherings; and (c) utilizing our website at www.balancelabs.co, plus engaging potential clients on social media, including LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. However, because we have a limited budget allocated for an on-line marketing campaign, we anticipate that professionals within our professional network and personal referrals from companies that are satisfied with our professional services are likely to be our most significant and efficient near-term form of marketing.
We believe that we can support our 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 2022, we intend to formalize our relationships with these subcontractors so that we can offer our clients turn-key business development products and services.
The Company incorporated or formed nine subsidiaries since 2016, Balance Labs, LLC, Balance AgroTech Co., Advanced AutoTech Co., Balance Cannabis Co., Balance Medical Marijuana Co. Krypto Ventures Inc, formerly known as KryptoBank Co., a former subsidiary. Except for Krypto Ventures Inc, formerly known as KryptoBank Co. all of the subsidiaries are wholly owned by the company. On July 29, 2021, the Company exchanged 52,500,000 shares of common stock in Krypto Ventures, Inc. for 119,584,736 shares of common stock in Descrypto Holdings, Inc. (“Descrypto”) (formerly W Technologies Inc.), an unrelated party in a Share Exchange Agreement. As a result, Krypto Ventures, Inc. has been deconsolidated and is no longer our subsidiary.
In November 2018, the Company acquired a non-controlling minority interest in a new start-up company, iGrow Systems, Inc. As of September 30, 2022, this investment has no value based on the equity method of accounting. iGrow Systems, Inc.

Our primary requirement for funding is for working capital in order to accommodate temporary negative cash flows from operations (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources”).

Overview
We reported a net loss of $571,972 and net income of $2,752,141 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. This represents a difference of $3,324,113, or 120%, primarily due to in the prior period we recognized unrealized gain of available on sale of security.
Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, we generated $202,500 and $200,000, respectively in revenue. The primary reason for the increase in revenue was due to monthly consulting income received from EZFill Holdings, Inc.

General and administrative expenses were $60,000 and $90,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $30,000 or 33% primarily due to the Company hiring a CFO in the 3rd Quarter of 2022 and terminating the $10,000 a month compensation to a related party.
Professional Fees
Professional fees were $85,461 and $69,229 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, an increase of $16,232 or 23% due to increase in accounting fees for the period

Unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities
Unrealized loss on available for sale securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $304,238. Unrealized gain on available for sale securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $3,069,500.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, we generated $67,500 and $200,000, respectively in revenue. The primary reason for the decrease in revenue was due to a special consulting project in the prior period with EZFill Holdings, Inc.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:
September 30, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | |||||||
| (Unaudited) | ||||||||
| Cash | $ | 269,740 | $ | 227,558 | ||||
| Working capital (deficiency) | $ | (3,733,146 | ) | $ | (3,513,015 | ) | ||
Availability of Additional Funds
Except for the monthly consulting fee to our CEO and Chairman of the Board and the monthly lease of our virtual office, as described elsewhere in this annual report, we currently do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures. We are actively pursuing new client relationships. Even if we were to add a new client(s), due to our current lack of a diversified client base, there could be temporary imbalances between cash receipts and cash operating expenditures, which means that we may need additional capital. The engagement revenues associated with most client engagements will self-fund the in-house and sub-contractor services we need in order to supply products and services to our clients.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3,733,146. The Company provided cash in operations of $42,182. 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.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
We experienced positive cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, in the amount of $42,182 This was primarily due to a net loss of $571,972 primarily offset by an unrealized loss on the value of an investment by $304,524, change in accounts payable and accrued expenses by $147,058, change in accounts payable and accrued expenses -related party of $60,000, net loss from equity method investee of $43,812, and accumulated gain on unconsolidated interest in excess of investment of $83,064.
| 25 |
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021 was $9,0260 and $194,710, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in investing activities decreased due less investing transactions in the current period.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021 was $0 and $457,500, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in investing activities decreased due less financing transactions in the current period.
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, 2021. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Furthermore, COVID-19 has also caused severe disruptions in transportation and limited access to the Company’s facilities resulting in limited support from its staff and professional advisors. This in turn has limited the Company’s resources in promoting its services and acquiring additional capital.
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.
| 26 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenues under 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.
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. |
Recent Accounting Standards
We have implemented all new accounting standards that are in effect and may impact our consolidated financial statements and do not believe that there are any other new accounting standards that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods 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 by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2022.
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.
| 27 |
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 subject to receiving funding for the Company’s business operations.
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 three months ended September 30, 2022.

The Company accrued interest of $443,218 on the loans. $1,721,550 of these loans are in default as of September 30, 2022.

The promissory note is currently in default, and as of September 30, 2022, accrued interest on the note is $17,227. The promissory note comes with a warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company’s stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share and expires on October 10, 2022. The warrants have a relative fair value of $8,283, which was recorded as a debt discount. As of December 31, 2020, the debt discount was fully amortized.
| 28 |
Convertible Notes Payable
On December 23, 2015, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note in the amount of $25,000. The note carries a rate of 8% and was due on March 23, 2016. It is secured by all the assets of the Company.
