TABLE OF CONTENTS

1. Organization

Blackboxstocks Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 4, 2011 under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name SMSA Ballinger Acquisition Corp. to effect the reincorporation of Senior Management Services of Heritage Oaks at Ballinger, Inc., a Texas corporation, mandated by a Plan of Reorganization confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

The Company changed its name to Blackboxstocks, Inc. and began operating as a financial technology and social media platform in March 2016. The platform offers real-time proprietary analytics and news for stock and options traders of all levels. The Company’s web-based software employs “predictive technology” enhanced by artificial intelligence to find volatility and unusual market activity that may result in the rapid change in the price of a stock or option. The software continuously scans the NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange, CBOE, and other options markets, analyzing over 8,000 stocks and up to 900,000 options contracts multiple times per second. The Company also provides users with a fully interactive social media platform that is integrated into our dashboard, enabling users to exchange information and ideas quickly and efficiently through a common network. Recently the Company also introduced a live audio/video feature that allows members to broadcast on their own channels to share trade strategies and market insight within the community. The platform was initially made available to subscribers in September 2016. Subscriptions for the use of the platform are sold on a monthly and/or annual subscription basis to individual consumers through the Company website at http://www.blackboxstocks.com.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements and footnotes of Blackboxstocks Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2020. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in assumption of the continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain sufficient financing or establish itself as a profitable business. At September 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,665,961 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 the Company incurred net income of $163,946 and a net loss of $1,156,140, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9, subsequent events, on November 12, 2020 the Company executed a Loan Agreement with certain lenders (the “Lenders”) and FVP Servicing LLC, (“FVP”), as agent for the Lenders in connection with the issuance of a Note in the amount of $1,000,000 bearing interest at 12% per annum with an initial maturity of November 12, 2022. Simultaneously, with the execution of the Loan Agreement, the Company repaid an existing secured note payable in the amount of $100,000 along with accrued interest and certain outstanding trade payables in the amount of $133,880. In addition, the Company granted the Lender a security interest in substantially all of its assets. Excluding transaction costs, the Company will receive net proceeds of approximately $766,000 after repayment of the notes and payables described above. Management believes that this will be sufficient to fund its operations and service its debt for the next twelve months. In addition, management may continue to raise additional debt or equity capital in order to improve liquidity or finance more aggressive growth or development. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital or on what terms. The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.

Use of Estimates - The Company’s financial statement preparation requires that management make estimates and assumptions which affect the reporting of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in order to report these financial statements in conformity with GAAP.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash - Cash includes all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB. Each of the new pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Earnings or (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings per share (or loss per share), is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other potentially issuable shares of common stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities or exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Therefore, because including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and/or exercise of outstanding options and warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share, only the basic earnings (loss) per share is reported in the accompanying financial statements for period of loss.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized from the sale of subscriptions for the use of the Blackbox System web application, on a monthly or annual basis. Revenue generally is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The performance obligation by the Company is in exchange for the monthly subscription fee, the subscriber is allowed access to the Blackbox System on the website for the calendar month. Revenue related to annual subscriptions is recognized each month with unearned subscriptions reflected as a current liability.

Reclassification - Affiliate referral expenses totaling $173,999 as of September 30, 2020 have been reclassed from cost of operations to selling, general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations.

3.   Stockholders’ Deficit

The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $0.001 par value, 5,000,000 of which are designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” at $0.001 par value and 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock at $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”).

Shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock do not accumulate dividends, have no liquidation preferences and are convertible into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. Additionally, each share entitles the holder to 100 votes and, with respect to dividend and liquidation rights, the shares rank pari passu with the Company’s Common Stock. All shares are held by Gust C. Kepler, Director, Chief Executive Officer, and President and Chief Financial Officers (“Mr. Kepler”).

On January 28, 2020 the Company issued 50,000 shares of its Common Stock at a value of $2.00 to a third party in conjunction with the financing arrangement executed on January 27, 2020 (Note 6).

On July 6, 2020, warrants to purchase 115,385 shares of Common Stock, issued in conjunction with Amended Convertible Promissory Notes, as described in Note 6, were exercised at $0.01 per share for aggregate cash consideration of $1,154.

4. Stock Options and Warrants

Costs attributable to the issuance of stock options and share purchase warrants are measured at fair value at the date of issuance and offset with a corresponding increase in ‘Additional Paid in Capital’ at the time of issuance. The fair value cost is computed utilizing the Black-Scholes model and assuming volatility based on U.S. Treasury yield rates for a similar period. The cost of these warrants was not recognized in the financial statements because they were granted in connection with raising capital for the Company. When the options or warrants are exercised, the receipt of consideration will be reported as an increase in stockholders’ equity.

Concurrently with certain securities purchase agreements entered into, warrants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock were issued to the subscribers. Each warrant is exercisable for a period of five years from the date of the securities purchase agreement at an exercise price of $1.95 per share (Note 3). The fair value cost at the date of issuance of these warrants was $614,805.

In conjunction with the issuance of convertible notes payable as described in Note 6, a warrant for the purchase of up to 115,385 shares of Common Stock exercisable for a one-year period was issued at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and another warrant for the purchase of up to 360,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable for a five-year period was issued at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the warrants for the purchase of 115,385 shares of Common Stock were exercised at $0.01 and as of September 30, 2020, there are warrants fo the purchase of up to 476,348 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

7. Derivative Liabilities

On March 23, 2020 notes payable in the principal amount of $100,000 were issued as convertible debt and qualified as derivative liabilities. As of September 30, 2020 the aggregate fair value of the outstanding derivative liability for these notes using the Black-Scholes option pricing model used the following key assumptions:

The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access;

Level 2 inputs utilize other-than-quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly and include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and

Level 3 inputs are unobservable and are typically based on our own assumptions, including situations where there is little, if any, market activity.

The following table presents the Company’s liabilities that were measured and recognized at fair value as of September 30, 2020:

8. Commitments and Contingencies

On August 11, 2020 the Company entered into a letter agreement with Winspear Investments, LLC (“Winspear”), pursuant to which the Company retained Winspear to provide strategic advisory services for financial and business matters.
