• Going Concern Warning Issued

  Both management and the independent auditor expressed substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to an accumulated deficit of $37.65 million and a net loss of $31.77 million for 2025.

• Ineffective Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

  Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective and identified material weaknesses in internal controls, citing limited resources, lack of an Audit Committee, and inadequate segregation of duties.

• Massive Share Dilution from Debt-to-Equity Conversion

  The company converted $4.17 million in principal and accrued interest into 16,667,788 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share in November 2025. This resulted in a non-cash loss on settlement of debt of $16.60 million and significantly increased shares outstanding from 21.67 million to 46.85 million, representing over 116% dilution.

• Minimal Revenue Generation

  Balance Labs generated only $6,000 in advisory revenue for the full year 2025 and approximately $40,000 in Q1 2026, highlighting its limited operational cash flow and ongoing reliance on external capital.

This 10-K highlights severe financial and operational challenges for Balance Labs. The going concern warning and the disclosure of ineffective internal controls are critical red flags, indicating high risk and potential for future financial misstatements. While the debt-to-equity conversion reduced liabilities, the massive dilution at a a low conversion price (compared to the market price) significantly impacts existing shareholders. The company's minimal revenue generation further underscores its reliance on external financing and the uncertainty of its business plan, particularly its digital asset treasury strategy which is contingent on capital availability. Investors should be highly cautious given these fundamental issues.
