Without limiting the foregoing, words such as "may," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," or "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.

(See "Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.") INTRODUCTION As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with theSEC onMay 13, 2022 ,Bio Lab Naturals, Inc. ("Bio Lab "), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") withLimitless X, Inc. , aNevada corporation ("LimitlessX"), and its 11 shareholders (the "LimitlessX Acquisition") onMay 11, 2022 (the "Merger"). The parties completed and closed the LimitlessX Acquisition onMay 20, 2022 by issuing an aggregate of 3,233,334 shares of common stock ofBio Lab to the LimitlessX shareholders (the "Acquisition Closing"). According to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement,Bio Lab then issued an additional 300,000 shares of common stock to the LimitlessX shareholders pro rata to their interests in approximately six months from the Acquisition Closing as part of the Limitless Acquisition. Concurrently with the LimitlessX Acquisition,Jaspreet Mathur , the founder and principal shareholder of LimitlessX, also purchased fromHelion Holdings LLC , 500,000 shares ofBio Lab's Class A Preferred Convertible Stock, which at all times have a number of votes equal to 60% of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock ofBio Lab . For accounting purposes, the Merger was accounted for as a "reverse merger" with LimitlessX as the accounting acquiror (legal acquiree) andBio Lab as the accounting acquiree (legal acquiror). and, consequently, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization ofBio Lab . Since LimitlessX was deemed to be the accounting acquiror in the Merger, the historical financial information for periods prior to the Merger reflect the financial information and activities solely of LimitlessX and not ofBio Lab . No step-up in basis or intangible assets or goodwill was recorded in this transaction.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and the accompanying notes. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported on our balance sheet and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of our fiscal periods are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition, stock based compensation and the valuation of deferred taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements: Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied. We have determined that fulfilling and delivering products is a single performance obligation. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when we have satisfied our performance obligation and the customer has obtained control of the products. This generally occurs when the product is delivered to or picked up by the customer based on applicable shipping terms, which is typically within 15 days. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for fulfilled product orders, While customers generally have a right to return defective or non-conforming products, past experience has demonstrated that product returns have been immaterial. Customer remedies for defective or non-conforming products may include a refund or exchange. As a result, the right of return is estimated and recorded as a reduction in revenue at the time of sale, if necessary. Our customer contracts identify product quantity, price, and payment terms. Payment terms are granted consistent with industry standards. Although some payment terms may be more extended, the majority of the our payment terms are less than 30 days. As a result, revenue is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component. Amounts billed and due from customers are classified as Accounts Receivables on the Balance Sheet.
