PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
Business Development
Balanced Living was incorporated in Colorado, on July 1, 1998 to be a holding
company and financing vehicle for The Balanced Woman, and perhaps other
companies or projects. On July 14, 1998, Balanced Living acquired all of the
outstanding shares of common stock of Balanced Woman in exchange for shares of
the common stock of Balanced Living in a tax free exchange with the shareholders
of Balanced Woman shown on Balanced Woman's records at that date. Currently
Balanced Living has no other business plan than to function as the holding
company and financial support for Balanced Woman.
The business concept for The Balanced Woman, Inc. was conceived in 1997 when
several of the founders attended a seminar presented by Rose Blackham in Orange
County, California. Ms. Blackham had presented self-improvement seminars
previously in California and Colorado for several years. After experiencing the
positive response of the thirty participants at the Orange County seminar, Ms.
Blackham and the other attending founders of Balanced Living conceived the
concept of a company to market the intellectual property content of Ms.
Blackham's seminars, and also to develop related products and services. The
result was The Balanced Woman, Inc., a Colorado corporation formed in January
1998 as a company owned, managed and developed by women to provide services and
products that would support and assist women. The ten founders of Balanced
Living provided seed capital, and the first pilot Balanced Woman seminar was
organized and presented in February 1998 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
In June 1998, Balanced Woman presented a seminar outside of the Salt Lake City
market by organizing a seminar in Newport Beach, California. Balanced Woman
perceived positive response from the Newport Beach seminar, and management felt
that its business concept was showing market acceptance.
Since these early seminars, Balanced Woman has continued to refine and develop
its business plan. During 1999, several of these efforts bore fruit:
A train the trainer program has produced an additional
qualified presenter/facilitator for the Balanced Woman series
of seminars. This will allow a greater number of seminars to
be taught than was the case when Rose Blackham was the sole
presenter/facilitator.
Products containing Balanced Woman intellectual property in
the form of stories, work books, guidebooks, books, music and
related products have been developed not only for seminar
enrichment and selling but also as stand alone products for
offer and sale through non-seminar channels.
The Business of Balanced Living
Balanced Living conducts no business in its corporate name. All of the business
now being conducted is done through The Balanced Woman, Inc. The Balanced Woman,
Inc. offers self-improvement seminars and products containing intellectual
property content that is proprietary. Balanced Woman seminars and products are
based on Balanced Woman's "Seven Principles of Balance":
1
<PAGE>
o The Sacred
o Self-Care
o Relationships
o Play
o Home/Career
o Financial Serenity
o Personal Vision.
The product and service line includes seminars, membership-based Circles of
Women, and Balanced Woman proprietary products. We also publish a bi-monthly
newsletter, which can be purchased through an annual subscription or as part of
the Circles of Women membership package.
Seminars
Balanced Woman currently offers a series of three seminars based on The Seven
Balanced Woman Principles. Seminar I is a one-day program; Seminar II and III
are both two and one-half day programs which teach the participants more in
depth how to implement the principles into their daily lives. The Balanced
Family, Balanced Relationships, and The Balanced Man, as well as other related
seminar concepts, are planned to be developed and presented as an extension of
the Balanced Living curriculum within one to three years.
Wholesale/retail products
We have created and market seven unique and innovative products that invite
women to actively share and live Balanced Woman principles. Each product has a
meaningful purpose and has been created to support women in living the Seven
Balanced Woman principles. The current product offerings are:
o The Balanced Woman Knows...book
------------------------
o The Balanced Woman Collection CD
o The Jewel Cards
o "Sara Smiles" Bean Bag Doll
o "Fortune Cooking" Greeting Card
o Picture this Packet
o Balanced Woman Bookmarks
o Self-care Product Line
o The Balanced Woman "Interludes" CD
o The Balanced Woman "T" shirt
The "Balanced Woman Collection CD" is a collection of the music played
throughout the first seminar that has proven popular. Also, the full-sized
hardcover The Balanced Woman book is expected to be published in the first half
of 2000. It is now in its third manuscript and publishers continue to be
enthusiastic about the concept for this book. We underestimated the time and
process involved in book publication and our earlier target in 1999 has moved to
the first half of 2000.
In a recent development, some of the Balanced Woman products, including
instructional audio and video cassettes and a CD, are being grouped within a
clam shell case and attractive cover and marketed as a separate self-improvement
product. We currently have a letter of intent for the purchase of 10,000 of
these kits by a major marketing entity. This concept allows sales to take place
outside of seminars through magazine advertisements, internet sites, and other
channels.

<PAGE>
Circles of Women
The Circles of Women are membership groups that seek to educate, connect and
support women in reinforcing and living the Balanced Woman principles. Meetings
take place semi-monthly among eight to twelve women per Circle. Membership fees
and subscriptions to our newsletter are the revenue sources coming from Circles
of Women. These Circles of Women are also targets for ongoing new product
marketing. In 1999 we earned approximately $1,600 out of our total revenues in
Circle of Women fees.
The primary market for our services and products includes women in all walks of
life. The women's personal growth/life management market has increased
dramatically in the last 10 years.
Marketing
Our marketing strategy has been designed with multiple approaches. For example,
through relationship marketing, which is based on personal contacts with a
potential customer due to an existing relationship or a referral from a
satisfied customer, we have achieved a high ratio of seminar sales to contacts.
This strategy saves on marketing expenditures.
We recognize that a key to our success is becoming a widely known name. To
accomplish this goal, we are designing our product offerings and advertising
brochures with common themes, logos and styles. These products and services will
be marketed at and also sold separately from Balanced Woman seminars, thus
taking advantage of bookstores and gift shop advertising opportunities.
We have joined and/or will join the chamber of commerce in each of its business
markets. The Balanced Woman, Inc. is participating in the Chamber of Commerce
Women's Forum in many market areas. This will increase our visibility and
exposure within the business community and leverage its business potential. We
are also actively participating in local women's business associations and
business networks. We have begun networking with several potential
seminar-sponsoring organizations, and anticipates having a large number of local
and national sponsoring companies with special women interests, who will
financially sponsor and endorse our seminars, conferences and events.
Competition
The financial and personal development information industry, while large, is
highly fragmented into many niches with some competitors being successful in
only certain niches, and with no company having acquired dominance in the
industry.
Many competitors have products and services that are marketed as being similar,
but we believe that our customers can quickly distinguish the difference between
its products and services and those of competitors. We believe that our strong
testimonial base of satisfied customers is a growing competitive advantage.
We compete primarily with a large number of privately and publicly owned,
educational and publishing companies providing personal and financial
development information through a variety of media. Some competitors have
greater financial, marketing, distribution, technical and other resources than
the Company. Some examples of competitors in this general personal development
market are:
o Anthony Robbins & Associates
o Nightingale-Conant Corporation
3
<PAGE>
o Franklin-Covey, Inc.
o American Marketing Systems, Inc.
o David G. Phillips Publishing Company, Inc.
o Agora, Inc.
o Ted Nicholas & Associates, Inc.
o Whitney Leadership Group
o The Hume Group, Inc.
Operations
Accounting, purchasing, inventory control, scheduling, order processing,
warehousing and shipping activities are still under design and development, and
exist in only the most rudimentary levels. We expect that independent
contractors will perform production and major vendor initial shipments. We will
maintain an order flow computer record-keeping system to monitor customer
fulfillment and cross selling. This computer system will handle order entry,
order processing, picking, billing, accounts receivable, accounts payable,
general ledger, inventory control, catalog management and analysis and mailing
list management. Subject to credit terms and product availability, orders will
typically be shipped to customers within a short time of receiving an order.
Third party contractors will print and assemble our audio and videotapes,
manuals, transcripts, newsletters, software, inserts and the boxes in which the
products are shipped.
Government regulation
Our business is subject to regulation under the federal Telemarketing and
Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act and state laws applicable to consumer
protection and telemarketing activities. Management believes that it is in
substantial compliance with all of the foregoing federal and state laws and the
regulations promulgated thereunder. Any claim that we are not in compliance
could result in judgments or consent agreements that require us to modify our
marketing program. In the worst cases, enforcement of fraud laws can result in
forcing a business to close and to subject the business and its management and
employees to be subject to criminal prosecution and civil damage actions.
Employees; Contractors
As of December 31, 1999, we had three (3) full-time employees, Jeannene Barham,
Deborah Smith, and Lisa Hawthorne and no part-time employees. Employees are not
represented by a labor union and are not subject to any collective bargaining
arrangement. Balanced Living has never experienced a work stoppage and we
believe that it has good relations with its employees and contractors.
Balanced Living uses three independent contractors who render significant
service to the Company: Rose Blackham for overall concept design and motivation,
as well as chief seminar facilitator; Teri Sundh for sales and marketing; and
Tammy Houchen for clerical work. These independent contractors are otherwise
employed full or part time and may engage in business activities outside of
Balanced Living. Ms. Blackham is compensated through the issuance of an
incentive stock option and expense reimbursements. Mmes. Sundh and Houchen are
compensated on a cash basis. The arrangements with Mmes. Blackham, Sundh and
Houchen have not been reduced to writing.

<PAGE>
Intellectual Property
While Balanced Living relies on the value of Balanced Woman intellectual
property to generate revenue, the ability to protect such intellectual property
is limited. None of the intellectual property is patentable. Balanced Living
relies primarily on copyright laws and nondisclosure agreements to protect its
intellectual property. We have completed the registration of our trademarks and
servicemarks of all of the materials we now offer. Rose Blackham has transferred
all rights to any pre-existing concepts and materials to The Balanced Woman,
Inc. Unauthorized copying of our products and services could damage us
significantly. Although we are not aware that any of our products and services
are materially infringing the rights of others, it is possible they are. If so,
we could have to modify our products and services, at substantial possible cost.
Balanced Living might be subject to lawsuits if it is alleged that it is
infringing on the property rights of others.
Reports to Shareholders
We intend to provide a report to our shareholders at least annually describing
the operations and results of our business. A copy of this report including
audited financial statements for 1999 will be provided to shareholders as the
report for 1999.
Balanced Living files periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and these reports can be obtained and/or viewed at the Commission's
Public Reference Rooms and on the Commission's web site. To get information with
respect to the Public Reference Rooms, shareholders may call 1-800-SEC-0330. The
Commission's website can be accessed through the world wide web at www/sec/gov.
Item 2. Description of Property
Balanced Living rents the space in which its headquarters is located at 6375
South Highland Drive, Suite D, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121. This space contains
two offices and a reception area, and comprises approximately 600 square feet.
It is occupied entirely by both Balanced Living and its subsidiary, The Balanced
Woman, Inc. This space is under a month to month lease by The Balanced Woman,
Inc. for $600 per month.
Management believes that this space will provide adequate office space to meet
our needs for the foreseeable future. The independent contractors used by
Balanced Living, as well as many of its officers, work out of their homes.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We know of no pending or threatened legal proceedings against Balanced Living or
The Balanced Woman, Inc.
Item 4. Submission of Items to a Vote of the Security Holders.
No matters were submitted to the shareholders for a vote in the fourth quarter
of 1999.
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
Balanced Living shares may be traded over the counter by means of the NASDAQ
Bulletin Board using the symbol TBLI. Trading authorization for the NASDAQ
Bulletin Board was obtained in early 2000.

<PAGE>
There were no trades in Balanced Living stock known to the company during 1999,
and there have been no public trades as of the date of the filing of this
Report.
At December 31, 1999 there were 867,849 shares of Balanced Living common stock
issued and outstanding, and held by 43 registered shareholders.
At December 31, 1999 there were options and warrants issued and outstanding
covering 1,498,547 shares of Balanced Living common stock. The average strike
price of these options and warrants is $3.68 per share. The stock options
(500,000 shares at $1.00 strike price) will expire in 2003. The Class A Warrants
(267,849 shares at $3.00 strike price) will expire in 2003. The Class B Warrants
(267,849 shares at $5.00 strike price) will expire in 2003. The Class C Warrants
(267,849 shares at $10.00 strike price) will expire in 2003. The Company has
195,000 shares covered by 5-year warrants at a $1.00 strike price. These expire
in March 2003.
Balanced Living has paid no dividends on its common stock and does not have any
announcement or plan to do so. There is no legal restriction on Balanced
Living's ability to declare a dividend other than usual requirements under law
as to the presence of profits before a cash dividend can be declared.
Balanced Living raised $200,000 in its public offering in 1999. This money was
spent as follows:
Accounts Payable Paid: ($65.000)
Notes Payable Paid: ($95,000)
General and Administration: ($30,000)
Working Capital: ($10,000)
--------
TOTAL: ($200,000)
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations, Results and
Liquidity.
Balanced Living is a new enterprise and a development stage company. Its
revenues to date have been limited, and there is no prior full year of
operations to match against the 1999 results. However the period from inception
to December 31, 1998 was substantially a full year.
In 1999, we presented seminars to 442 people, compared with 360 people in 1998.
The majority of the 360 persons in 1998 were complimentary participants used to
evaluate the seminars for development purposes and to build reputation for
referrals. We believe this is typical for a start-up seminar company. The 442
seminar participants in 1999 had a higher revenue per attendee average than we
experienced in 1998, suggesting that higher levels of revenue can be anticipated
from continued seminar presentation. This explains the increase in revenues from
$14,914 in 1998 to $42,846 in 1999. The greater number of services also explains
the higher costs of sales in 1999 over 1998.
We have not yet sold any products outside of our seminars. These sales, when
they take place, will also add to revenue.
Balanced Living continued to operate at a loss in 1999 despite higher revenue
compared with 1998. Since 1999, seminar revenues have exceeded seminar direct
costs, but have not covered general Company overhead costs. We continue to
anticipate achieving increasing average seminar revenue per attendee during
2000; and as a result of that and opportunities to offer and sell products
outside of seminars, we continue to believe we can become profitable by the
third quarter in 2000. This timing of profitability may not happen due to risks
inherent in our business. Such risks include:
6
<PAGE>
o competition from better financed sources of intellectual property,
o changes in consumer spending on personal improvement products and
services, and
o the inability of Balanced Living to achieve enough funding from
revenue or loans to enable continued operation of the Company and the
acquisition of sufficient inventory to support continued sales and
seminar offerings.
We began to raise needed equity capital through our public offering, which
closed on August 15, 1999. This offering raised $200,000. Unfortunately, we
began trying to raise this money in late 1998, and we were not able to commence
the offering until June 1999. It took us another 45 days to raise the funds from
investors. By the time the money came in, we needed to use almost all of it to
pay overdue short term credit lines accounts payable, and to fund the regulatory
steps to commence and support a public market in our shares for the benefit of
our shareholders. (The challenges and costs of this public market listing effort
continued through the end of 1999 and into 2000). Since commencing and then
concluding our public offering, we have engaged in valuable revised business
planning and projections, which have considered both the current level of
growth, upcoming new revenue sources (discussed below), and the level of
overhead and advertising that will be needed to maximize the business
opportunities facing us. As noted in our June 30, 1999 report on Form 10-Q, we
recognize the need for additional capital funding beyond the amount netted from
the public offering. In this regard we borrowed additional funds from affiliates
during 1999, increasing our outstanding related party debt to ($105,000). During
the first quarter of 2000, we borrowed an additional $150,000 in order to
develop products for sale in the second quarter to 2000.
We are currently exploring avenues for achieving this added financial support,
including seeking additional equity or debt infusions from certain existing
shareholders or from one or more new private investors, and/or a strategic
business combination or relationship that could bring the strength of another
company to aid in the success of Balanced Living. There are no commitments or
plans now in place with respect to any of the avenues being explored.
During 1999 we continued to push ahead as we could with our business plan, and
have made several milestones and can see the achievement of others in the near
future. These are
--launching of our new Seminar II concept for a 21/2day program, with
attendant higher revenue
--the Balanced Woman book is now in its third manuscript and is
currently expected to be published by the second quarter of 2000,
which is later than we thought might be the schedule in prior reports
on Form 10-Q. Publishers continue to be enthusiastic about the
concept for this book
--our Circles of Women program has been launched in Utah and Colorado
--our first seminar in Washington state was presented by the first
person other than Rose Blackham to present a Balanced Woman seminar.
This not only enters us into a new market, but also validates our
efforts at expanding the pool of presenters to allow for more
seminars to be presented.
7
<PAGE>
--While we concluded that the opportunity discussed in the June 30,
1999 report on Form 10-Q involving the Home Shopping Network was not
in our best interests, and this effort has been abandoned, we
continued in 1999, and into 2000, to develop a line of Balanced Woman
products (booklets, audio and video cassettes, CD's, work books,
etc.) for offer and sale through a variety of channels outside of our
seminars. We are focusing on opportunities to redirect our efforts
and resources to achieving revenue from sales of these products
through national advertising, partnering with national marketing
organizations, and offering to multi-level marketing distributors. We
believe these channels will expose our products to women who are
especially interested in self improvement products. We also
anticipate that the growth in sales of our Balanced Woman products
that we are targeting for the first half of 2000 will also offer us
cross marketing opportunities for our seminars. If our products
succeed within marketing organizations and multi-level marketing
groups as we believe will happen, opportunities may follow to present
our Balanced Woman seminars within these organizations conventions,
etc. Such seminars would be higher revenue per person events than our
historical ad hoc seminars.
Forward Looking Statements of Rides
The information other than historical information, and specifically the
information set out in this section, is forward looking information presenting
management's beliefs and estimates about the future. These beliefs, plans and
estimates are subject to significant risks, including an inability to recruit,
hire, and retain skilled seminar facilitators, or a copyright infringement of
Balanced Living's unique curriculum materials and products and resulting
litigation, as well as risks from the general economic conditions within which
the Company must operate.. Other risks could also negatively effect Balanced
Living's ability to meet its projections for 2000. These risks include:
Balanced Living's limited operating history increases the risk of loss
to investors.
Balanced Living was formed in July 1998, and is in the development
stages of its business plan. It has no significant assets, has just
begun business operations, and considers 1998 and early 1999 to be a
period of research and development. Upon completion of this offering it
will still be uncertain as to whether we can continue successfully
implementing our business plan or that we will ever operate profitably.
If Balanced Living does not obtain enough money to continue to operate,
investors will lose their investment.
We have no significant assets or operating capital. Balanced Living's
auditors deem us a going concern, being totally dependent upon receipt
of the proceeds of this offering to provide the working capital
necessary to continue the development of our business plan. We have no
commitments for additional cash funding beyond what we have obtained to
date. In the event that our current resources are not sufficient to
move us to internal funding and profitability, we may need to seek
additional financing from commercial lenders or other sources,
including additional sales of equity, for which it presently has no
commitments or arrangements. Additional financing may not be available
to Balanced Living on acceptable terms, if at all.
8
<PAGE>
We rely on Rose Blackham and her continuing service to Balanced Living
for the success of their investment.
Balanced Living also relies heavily on the training, teaching methods,
and curriculum of Rose Blackham, which is provided to Balanced Living
by independent contract. Currently, Ms. Blackham is the chief
facilitator of our seminars, although not an officer or director. The
stability and growth of Balanced Living would be significantly
compromised if Ms. Blackham were unable or unwilling to perform these
responsibilities. We do not carry key person life insurance with
respect to any employee or contractor, and we have no employment
agreements.
If Balanced Living's managers spend too much time in their other
pursuits, or if they use related companies to profit from dealings with
Balanced Living, the investors may lose their investment.
Many of the services and goods acquired by Balanced Living have been
and will likely come from sources connected in some way with members of
our management team. Some members of the management team have other
interests which could give rise to conflicts with respect to the amount
of time devoted to Balanced Living. We presently have no way of knowing
if any conflicts of time and interests will be resolved favorably to
Balanced Living.
Investors' money may be lost if Balanced Living's products and services
are not accepted by women in the market place.
Balanced Living's business plan is based upon the experience of the
Balanced Woman Seminars given to date and the observed market
acceptance of related products and services. We can not determine with
any accuracy the exact market share, if any, that we will be able to
achieve for Balanced Living's products and services. Balanced Living's
business will be subject to all the risks associated with the packaging
and introduction of new seminars and product lines for sale into the
competitive self- improvement seminar market for women.
An investment in Balanced Living may be lost if our proprietary works
and concepts are stolen or infringed.
Balanced Living relies primarily on copyright laws and employee and
third party nondisclosure agreements to protect its intellectual
property. We have completed the registration and copyright of our
trademarks, word mark, service mark, and the copyright of all of the
materials used in the seminars. Rose Blackham has transferred all
rights to any pre-existing concepts and materials to Balanced Living.
Unauthorized copying of its products and services could damage us
significantly. Although we are not aware that any of our products and
services are materially infringing the rights of others, it is possible
they are. If so, we could have to modify our products and services, at
substantial possible cost. Balanced Living might be subject to lawsuits
if it is alleged that it is infringing on the property rights of
others. To combat intellectual property risks, we have secured the
assistance of an intellectual rights attorney and are taking every
measure possible to protect and copyright all of our intellectual
property and proprietary products and seminar materials.

<PAGE>
An economic slowdown or change in consumer spending habits could cause
you to lose your investment in Balanced Living.
Balanced Living provides products and services that are not essential
to the support of life. In the event of significant economic downturns
in the United States or the World caused by any or all of a number of
potential causes, the demand for our seminars and products may be
significantly reduced and we may not be able to generate enough revenue
to maintain operations.
General and administrative expenses rose significantly 1999 vs. 1998. This is as
a result of these three main factors:
o We had a full time secretary who worked the entire year 1999.
o We paid our professional and other offering expenses associated
with our public offering.
o We incurred significant travel and other expenses in purchasing
our Home Shopping Network effort, which was aborted.
Item 7. Financial Statements.
What follows are Balanced Living's audited financial statements for the year

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
BALANCED LIVING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Salt Lake City, Utah
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Balanced Living
Inc. and Subsidiary [a development stage company] as of December 31, 1999, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and
cash flows from inception on January 26, 1998 through December 31, 1998 and
1999. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements audited by us present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Balanced Living, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1999, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and for the period from inception through December 31, 1998
and 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company was only recently formed, and has not yet
established profitable operations, has incurred losses through December 31, 1999
amounting to $733,868, has current liabilities in excess of current assets and
has a stockholders' deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards
to these matters are also described in Note 13. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
these uncertainties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization - The Balanced Woman, Inc. ("Subsidiary") was organized under
the laws of the State of Colorado on January 26, 1998. During July, 1998
the Company was reorganized through a stock for stock exchange with
Balanced Living, Inc. ("Parent") [See Note 2]. Balanced Living, Inc. a
Colorado corporation, was organized on July 1, 1998. The Company has not
raised significant revenue from planned principal operations and is
considered a development stage company as defined in SFAS No. 7. The
Company is engaged in the business of holding motivational seminars, and
selling books and other motivational products. The Company has, at the
present time, not paid any dividends and any dividends that may be paid in
the future will depend upon the financial requirements of the Company and
other relevant factors.
Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Balanced Woman, Inc.
All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost
is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Equipment - Equipment is carried at cost and is depreciated over the
estimated useful life of the equipment using the straight line method.
Revenue Recognition - The company's revenue comes from holding motivational
seminars and selling motivational products (books, cards, CD's, etc.).
Revenue is recognized when the services are rendered or the product is
delivered.
Loss Per Share - The computation of loss per share is based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period presented in
accordance with SFAS 128 "Earnings Per Share". Diluted loss per share is
not presented because its effect is antidilutive.
Statement of Cash Flows - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the
Company considers all highly liquid debt investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results
could differ from those estimated.
Restatement - The financial statements have been restated to reflect the
reorganization of the Company pursuant to a stock for stock exchange [See
Note 2]. All references to common stock and the numbers of shares issued
and outstanding have been restated to reflect the shares of common stock
issued in the reorganization.

NOTE 6 - CAPITAL STOCK
Common Stock - In connection with its acquisition of Subsidiary on July 14,
1998, the Company issued 500,000 shares of its previously authorized, but
unissued common stock [See Note 2]. The Subsidiary had previously been
funded with $2,000.
During January, 1998, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock in
connection with the organization of the Company at $.01 per share. Total
proceeds amounted to $1,000.
Stock Warrants - During 1998, Subsidiary issued 165,000 common stock
warrants to various officers, directors and consultants in conjunction with
the issuance of subordinated notes payable [See Note 5]. Due to the
reorganization of the company [See note 2], the warrants of Subsidiary were
cancelled, and re-issued under the same terms by Parent during 1998. Each
warrant grants the holder the right to purchase one share of the Company's
common stock at a price of $1 per share. The warrants may be exercised at
any time prior to March 1, 2003. An additional 30,000 warrants were issued
subsequent to December, 1998. The Company has accrued additional interest
expense for warrants issued after November 1999 as the exercise price of
the warrants were less than the arbitrary value of $2.00 proposed for the
Company's upcoming stock offering. During 1998, $37,500 was capitalized as
prepaid interest expenses and is being amortized over the life of the note.
All amounts were expensed in 1999. An additional $30,000 was expensed in
1999 and will be amortized over the life of the note.
Stock Option Plan - During January, 1998 the Company implemented its 1998
stock option plan. The plan provides for 1,000,000 shares of common stock
to be reserved for issuance to officers, directors, employees and
consultants as employment incentives. As of December 31, 1999, no options
have been issued under the plan. Options granted vest over a five year
period. As of December 31, 1999 no options had vested.
Non-Qualified Stock Options - As of December 31, 1999, the Company has
issued a total of 500,000 options outside of the 1998 stock option plan to
various officers, directors and consultants of the Company. These options
are exercisable at $1 per share, and vest over a five-year period, based
upon certain conditions specified in the option agreement. The options
expire five years from the date of vesting. As of December 31, 1998, no
options had vested.
Public Offering of Common Stock - The Company filed a registration
statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on Form
SB-2 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company sold 100,000 "Units" at
a price of $2 per Unit, which price was arbitrarily determined by the
Company. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company's $.001 par value
common stock sold at $2 per share, one "Class A Warrant" to purchase one
share of common stock at $3 per share, one "Class B Warrant" to purchase
one share of common stock at $5 per share, and one "Class C Warrant" to
purchase one share of common stock at $10 per share. All warrants issued
under the offering will expire on December 31, 2003. The warrants are
callable if, after one year from the issuance date, public trading develops
and trading occurs for at least 20 consecutive days. The warrants are
callable at $.01 per warrant upon 30 days notice by the Company to warrant
holders. The Units will be offered and sold by officers of the Company, who
will receive no sales commissions or other compensation in connection with
the offering, except for reimbursement of expenses actually incurred on
behalf of the Company in connection with the offering.

NOTE 6 - CAPITAL STOCK [Continued]
Retirement of Notes Payable - The Company retired $330,000 of the principal
balance of Subordinated Demand Notes Payable and $5,362 of accrued interest
for the issuance of common stock at $2.00 per share for a total of 167,849
shares of common stock issued. Partial shares were rounded up to the next
whole share. The Company also issued with each share of common stock, one
"Class A Warrant" to purchase one share of common stock at $3 per share,
one "Class B Warrant" to purchase one share of common stock at $5 per
share, and one "Class C Warrant" to purchase one share of common stock at
$10 per share. All warrants issued will expire on December 31, 2003. The
warrants are callable if, after one year from the issuance date, public
trading develops and trading occurs for at least 20 consecutive days. The
warrants are callable at $.01 per warrant upon 30 days notice by the
Company to warrant holders. Although Management believes the issuance of
stock and warrants to reduce this debt is exempt from registration with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the possibility exists that it may
ultimately be determined that the exchange of stock and warrants for debt
was not exempt.
A summary of the status of the options granted under the Company's stock
option plans and other agreements at December 31, 1999 and changes during
the period then ended is presented in the table below:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS
109 requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability
equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting
differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available
operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. At December 31, 1999 the
Company has available unused operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$730,000, which may be applied against future taxable income and which
expire in 2019.
The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating
loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the
tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future
events, the effects of which cannot be determined. Because of the
uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards the
Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of
the loss carryforwards and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been
recognized for the loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax assets are
approximately $248,000 as of December 31, 1999 with an offsetting valuation
allowance of the same amount resulting in a change in the valuation
allowance of approximately $153,500 during 1999.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS
The Company has agreed to compensate a majority shareholder, who is also an
independent contractor to the Company, for her services to the Company in
shares of the Company's restricted common stock. The exact number of shares
has yet to be negotiated with the board of directors of the Company, and
may be subject to vesting rights imposed by the Company. No amounts have
been accrued in the accompanying financial statements for this agreement to
issue stock.
NOTE 10 - SUB-LEASE AGREEMENT
During 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to sub-lease office
space. The term of the lease is 10.5 months, with no option to renew. The
agreement terminated on June 1, 1999. Total base rent amounts to $6,300 and
is due in monthly installments of $600. During 1999, the Company renewed
the lease for an additional year at $620 a month.
NOTE 11 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Management Compensation - The Company paid $48,000 in salary to the
Company's President/Secretary-Treasurer during the period ended December
31, 1999.
Notes Payable - As of December 31, 1999 the Company had outstanding
subordinated demand notes payable to an officers, directors, shareholders
totaling $105,000 [See Note 5].
NOTE 13 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of
the Company as a going concern. However, the Company was only recently
formed, has not yet established profitable operations, has incurred
significant losses since inception, and has a stockholder's deficit. The
Company also has current liabilities in excess of current assets (a working
capital deficiency). These factors raise substantial doubt about the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard,
management is proposing to raise additional funds through loans and/or
through additional sales of its common stock which funds will be used to
assist in establishing on-going operations. There is no assurance that the
Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or achieving
profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Explanation of Columns:
(c) SALARY: Total base salary earned during applicable period.
(d) BONUS: Any incentive award paid for results achieved during the applicable
period. Any amounts deferred at the election of the executive are included in
the reported amounts. There is no formula for determining bonuses.
No officer or employee of Balanced Living has an employment agreement with
Balanced Living at this time. If Balanced Living's business plan proves
initially successful, management intends to recommend to the board of directors
that the president and all key employees be covered by employment agreements and
non-compete provisions.
On July 6, 1998, the board of directors of Balanced Living adopted and the
present stockholders approved, a 1998 Stock Option Plan. The 1998 Plan
authorizes the granting of awards of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock to
Balanced Living's key employees, officers, directors, consultants, advisors, and
sales representatives. Awards consist of stock options (both non-qualified
options and options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), restricted stock awards,
deferred stock awards, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards,
as described in the 1998 Plan.
The 1998 Plan is administered by the board of directors which determines the
persons to whom awards will be granted, the number of awards to be granted and
the specific terms of each grant, including the vesting thereof, subject to the
provisions of the 1998 Plan. In connection with qualified stock options, the
exercise price of each option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value
of the common stock on the date of grant (or 110% of the fair market value in
the case of a grantee holding more than 10% of the outstanding stock of Balanced
Living). The aggregate fair market value of shares for which qualified stock
options are exercisable for the first time by such employee during any calendar
year may not exceed
12
<PAGE>
$100,000. Non-qualified stock options granted under the 1998 Plan may be granted
at a price determined by the board of directors, not to be less than the fair
market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
The 1998 Plan also contains certain change in control provisions which could
cause options and other awards to become immediately exercisable and
restrictions and deferral limitations applicable to other awards to lapse in the
event any "person," as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including a "group" as defined in Section
13(d), but excluding certain stockholders of Balanced Living, became the
beneficial owners of more than 25% of Balanced Living's outstanding shares of
common stock.
The following table shows the stock options issued to management during 1999 and
totals of outstanding stock options or warrants in the hands of management at
December 31, 1999.
