Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Some of our statements under “Business,” “Properties,” “Legal Proceedings,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the Notes to Financial Statements and elsewhere in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). In some cases, forward-looking statements are identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “approximates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor anyone else assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such statements and is under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Our Company

Cipherloc Corporation (the “Company” or “Cipherloc”) was incorporated in Texas on June 22, 1953 as American Mortgage Company. On March 15, 2015, the Company changed its name to Cipherloc Corporation. The name change became effective on March 23, 2015.

Description of Business

Cipherloc is a data security solutions company. We are developing a highly innovative, polymorphic encryption technology designed to enable an iron-clad layer of protection to be added to existing solutions. The Company plans to introduce an innovative and revolutionary new type of encryption technology with five international patents and four US patents. We expect to be the industry’s first “Polymorphic Cipher Engine”, called Cipherloc^®. We expect to offer the first secure commercially viable advanced “Polymorphic Key Progression Algorithmic Cipher Engine” (“PKPA”). This morphing cipher can be used in any commercial data security industry and/or in sensitive applications.

Personnel

As of the date of this report, we have 11 full-time employees.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

You are advised to read this Form 10-K in conjunction with other reports and documents that we file from time to time with the SEC. In particular, please read our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that we file from time to time. You may obtain copies of these reports directly from us or from the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F. Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549, and you may obtain information about obtaining access to the Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains information for electronic filers at its website http://www.sec.gov.

In an effort to keep our stockholders and the public informed about our business, we may make “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements usually relate to future events and anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flows or other aspects of our operations or operating results. As indicated previously, forward-looking statements are often identified by words, “will”, “may”, “should”, “continue”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “forecast”, “project”, “estimate”, “intend” and words of similar nature. Forward-looking statements generally include statements containing:

●	projections about accounting and finances;

●	plans and objectives for the future;

●	projections or estimates about assumptions relating to our performance; or

●	our opinions, views or beliefs about the effects of current or future events, circumstances or performance.

You should view those statements with caution. Those statements are not guarantees of future performance, circumstances or events. They are based on facts and circumstances known to us as of the date the statements are made. All phases of our business are subject to uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which we do not control. Any of these factors either alone or taken together, could have a material adverse effect on us and could change whether any forward-looking statement ultimately turns out to be true. Additionally, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement as a result of future events, circumstances or developments.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Outlined below are some of the risks that we believe could affect our business and financial statements. An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before investing in our common stock. If any of the events anticipated by the risks described below occur, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected which could result in a decline in the market price of our common stock, causing you to lose all or part of your investment.

Because we are quoted on the OTC Markets, formerly known as “Pinks Sheets,” instead of an exchange or national quotation system, our investors may have a tougher time selling their stock or experience negative volatility on the market price of our stock.

Our common stock is traded on the OTCQB “OTC Markets”. The OTCQB “OTC Markets” is often highly illiquid, in part because it does not have a national quotation system by which potential investors can follow the market price of shares except through information received and generated by a limited number of broker-dealers that make markets in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that trade on the OTCQB “OTC Markets” as compared to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market conditions. Investors in our common stock may experience high fluctuations in the market price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations, when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for our securities. Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common stock improves.

We depend significantly upon the continued involvement of our present management.

The Company’s success depends significantly upon the involvement of our present management, who is in charge of our strategic planning and operations. We may need to attract and retain additional talented individuals in order to carry out our business objectives. The competition for individuals with expertise in this industry could be intense and there are no assurances that these individuals will be available to us.

Our common stock is subject to penny stock regulation.

Our shares are subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, as amended, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the registrant’s net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the Commission. Since our shares are deemed to be “penny stock”, trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses and pose challenges for our management.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations promulgated there under, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the U.S. public markets. Our management team will need to devote significant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.

The Company’s directors and officers may control the outcome of most matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.

The officers and directors have changes in control provisions that allows for the full payment of salary and stock in case the company is taken over by a third party. In addition to the ability of these directors and officers of the Company to vote, shares represent a significant majority of the total voting power of the Company’s common shares.

Under Texas law, common shares of the Company owned by the officers and directors may be voted in a manner in which those votes are determined by the directors. Those directors, should they choose to act together, will be able to control substantially all matters affecting the Company, and block a number of matters relating to any potential change of control of the Company. See Item 12–Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

Risks Related To Our Industry

We face intense competition.

We continue to experience intense competition across all markets for our products and services. Although we believe our business and product portfolio will be a competitive advantage, our competitors that are focused on narrower product lines may be more effective in devoting technical, marketing, and financial resources to compete with us. In addition, barriers to entry in our businesses generally are low, and products, once developed, can be distributed broadly and quickly at a relatively low cost. Open source software vendors are devoting considerable efforts to developing software that mimics the features and functionality of our anticipated products. These competitive pressures may result in decreased sales volumes, price reductions, and/or increased operating costs, such as for marketing and sales incentives, resulting in lower revenue, gross margins, and operating income.

Our business depends on our ability to attract and retain talented employees.

Our business is based on successfully attracting and retaining talented employees. The market for highly skilled workers and leaders in our industry is extremely competitive. If we are less successful in our recruiting efforts, or if we are unable to retain key employees, our ability to develop and deliver successful products and services may be adversely affected. Effective succession planning is also important to our long-term success. Failure to ensure effective transfer of knowledge and smooth transitions involving key employees could hinder our strategic planning and execution.

Delays in product development schedules may adversely affect our revenues.

The development of software products is a complex and time-consuming process. New products can require long development and testing periods. Our increasing focus on innovative and new software presents new and complex development issues. Significant delays in new product releases or significant problems in creating new products could adversely affect our revenue.

Acquisitions and joint ventures may have an adverse effect on our business.

We expect to continue making acquisitions or entering into joint ventures as part of our long-term business strategy. These transactions involve significant challenges and risks including that the transaction does not advance our business strategy, that we don’t realize a satisfactory return on our investment, or that we experience difficulty in the integration of new employees, business systems, and technology, or diversion of management’s attention from our other businesses. These events could harm our operating results or financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Securities

The market price for our common stock may be volatile, and you may not be able to sell our stock at a favorable price or at all.

Many factors could cause the market price of our common stock to rise and fall, including:

●	actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly results of operations;

●	changes in market valuations of companies in our industry;

●	changes in expectations of future financial performance;

●	fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes;

●	issuances of dilutive common stock or other securities in the future;

●	the addition or departure of key personnel;

●	announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances; and

●	it is possible that the proceeds from sales of our common stock may not equal or exceed the prices you paid for the shares after including the costs and fees of making the sales

Substantial sales of our common stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.

We cannot predict whether future issuances of our common stock or resale in the open market will not decrease the market price of our common stock. The consequence of any such issuances or resale of our common stock on our market price may be increased as a result of the fact that our common stock is thinly, or infrequently, traded. The exercise of any options, or the vesting of any restricted stock that we may grant to directors, executive officers and other employees in the future, the issuance of common stock in connection with acquisitions and other issuances of our common stock, may decrease the market price of our common stock.

Holders of our common stock have a risk of potential dilution if we issue additional shares of common stock in the future.

The exercise of options and warrants and/or the conversion of preferred stock will dilute the shareholder’s ownership percentage. We may issue options to purchase or grant up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock under our 2019 Stock Grant/Option Plan. We also have outstanding warrants to purchase 25,015,866 shares of our common stock. In the future, we may grant additional stock options, warrants, or convertible securities. The exercise or conversion of stock options, warrants, preferred stock, or convertible securities will dilute the ownership percentage of our other stockholders. The dilutive effect of the exercise or conversion of these securities may adversely affect our ability to obtain additional capital. The holders of these securities may be expected to exercise or convert their securities when we are able to obtain additional equity capital on terms more favorable than these securities.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends to our stockholders, so you will not receive any return on your investment in our Company prior to selling your interest in the Company.

The Company has never paid any cash dividends to our stockholders. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth and, therefore, do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, you will not receive any return on your investment prior to selling your shares in our Company, and for the other reasons discussed in this “Risk Factors” section, you may not receive any return on your investment even when you sell your shares in our Company.

Certain shares of our common stock are restricted from immediate resale. The lapse of those restrictions, coupled with the sale of the related shares in the market, or the market’s expectation of such sales, could result in an immediate and substantial decline in the market price of our common stock.

Most of our shares of common stock are restricted from immediate resale in the public market. The restricted shares are restricted in accordance with Rule 144, which states that if unregistered, restricted securities are to be sold, a minimum of one year must elapse between the later of the date of acquisition of the securities from the issuer or from an affiliate of the issuer, and any resale of those securities in reliance on Rule 144. The Rule 144 restrictive legend remains on the stock until the holder of the stock holds the stock for longer than six months (unless an affiliate) and meets the other requirements of Rule 144 to have the restriction removed. The sale or resale of those shares in the public market, or the market’s expectation of such sales, may result in an immediate and substantial decline in the market price of our shares. Such a decline will adversely affect our investors, and make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through equity offerings in the future.

Our common stock is subject to restrictions on sales by broker-dealers and penny stock rules, which may be detrimental to investors.

Our common stock is subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, which imposes certain sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our common stock to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act). For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. This rule adversely affects the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and purchasers of our common stock to sell their shares of our common stock.

Additionally, our common stock is subject to SEC regulations applicable to “penny stocks.” Penny stocks include any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The regulations require that prior to any non-exempt buy/sell transaction in a penny stock; a disclosure schedule proscribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market must be delivered by a broker-dealer to the purchaser of such penny stock. This disclosure must include the amount of commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current price quotations for our common stock. The regulations also require that monthly statements be sent to holders of a penny stock that disclose recent price information for the penny stock and information of the limited market for penny stocks. These requirements adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock.

Our Articles of Incorporation allow us to sell preferred stock without shareholder approval.

Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without any additional vote or action by our shareholders. The rights of the holders of the common stock will be subject to, and could be materially adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. For example, we could issue preferred stock that has superior rights to dividends or is convertible into shares of common stock. This might adversely affect the market price of the common stock.

If we experience delays and/or defaults in customer payments, we could be unable to recover all expenditures.

Because of the nature of our contracts, at times we commit resources to projects prior to receiving payments from the customer in amounts sufficient to cover expenditures on projects as they are incurred. Delays in customer payments may require us to make a working capital investment. If a customer defaults in making their payments on a project in which we have devoted resources, it could have a material negative effect on our working capital and results of operations.

If we do not effectively manage our growth, our existing infrastructure may become strained, and we may be unable to increase revenue growth.

Our past growth that we have experienced, and in the future may experience, may provide challenges to our organization, requiring us to expand our personnel and our operations. Future growth may strain our infrastructure, operations and other managerial and operating resources. If our business resources become strained, our earnings may be adversely affected and we may be unable to increase revenue growth. Further, we may undertake contractual commitments that exceed our labor resources, which could also adversely affect our earnings and our ability to increase revenue growth.

SHOULD ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES MATERIALIZE, OR SHOULD THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS PROVE INCORRECT, ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED, BELIEVED, ESTIMATED, EXPECTED, INTENDED OR PLANNED.

The holders of preferred stock can only convert the shares if agreed to by the Board of Directors. If declared by the Board of Directors, holders of preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend on the common stock of the Company. In the event of liquidation or dissolution of the Company, holders of preferred stock shall be paid out of the assets of the Company prior and in preference to any payment or distribution to holders of common stock of the Company.

The issuance of preferred stock by our board of directors could adversely affect the rights of holders of the common stock by, among other things, establishing preferential dividends, liquidation rights or voting powers. See “Risk Factors” above.

Common Stock

The Company has authorized 650,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.01 par value. There were 40,743,917 and 6,635,127 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors from time to time out of legally available funds. The dividend rights of our common stock are junior to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. The holders of our common stock also are entitled to receive distributions upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our assets that are legally available for distribution, after payment of all debt and other liabilities and distribution in full of preferential amounts, if any, to be distributed to holders of our preferred stock.

The holders of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

This Item is not required for smaller reporting companies, and the Company has elected to omit this information.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Report.

The following information contains certain forward-looking statements of our management. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “predict,” “probable,” “possible,” “should,” “continue,” or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.

Our Business

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.

The methods, estimates, and judgment we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. The SEC has defined “critical accounting policies” as those accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based upon this definition, our most critical estimates are accounting for convertible debt and embedded derivatives, software revenue recognition, and stock issued to employees and non-employees. Our most critical accounting policies applicable to the periods presented are noted below. For additional information see Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available, and actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

Accounting for Convertible Debt and Embedded Derivatives

Convertible debt is accounted for under the guidelines established by Accounting Standards Topic (“ASC”) 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. ASC 470-20 governs the calculation of an embedded beneficial conversion feature, a derivative instrument, which is treated as an additional discount to the instruments where derivative accounting does not apply. This applies during the period for which embedded conversion features are either fixed, contingently convertible, or cash or net settlement is in control of the Company. When equity instruments, such as warrants, are issued with convertible debt, the net proceeds from the transaction are allocated to the convertible debt and equity instruments based on their relative fair values. The proceeds allocated to the equity instruments may reduce the carrying value of the convertible debt, and such discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt. The amount of the warrants and beneficial conversion feature will reduce the carrying value of the debt instrument to zero, but no further. The discount relating to the initial recording of the original issue discounts, issue costs, warrants and beneficial conversion feature are accreted, together with the premium, over the estimated term of the debt.

The excess of fair value of the embedded conversion feature, together with the original issue discounts, warrants, and issue costs over the face value of the debt, is recorded as an immediate charge in the accompanying statements of operations and cash flows. Each reporting period, the Company will compute the estimated fair value of derivatives and record changes to operations.

Software Revenue Recognition

Provided all other revenue criteria are met, the upfront, minimum, non-refundable license fees from customers are generally recognized upon delivery and on-going royalty fees are generally recognized upon reports of new licenses issued. If there is significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for professional services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. VSOE of fair value of services is based upon stand-alone sales of those services.

Stock Issued to Employees and Non-Employees

The Company measures the compensation cost using the fair value based method. This method uses the fair value at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Grants to vendors are recorded at fair value at each reporting period.

Results of Operations

Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2018, Compared to Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2017

Revenue decreased to $316,248 from $467,274 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Revenue decreased primarily as a result of the term on the Company’s only software license ending in June 2018. As a result, revenue was ratably recognized over nine months during the year ended September 30, 2018, as compared to twelve months during the year ended September 30, 2017. Correspondingly, cost of revenue decreased to $89,230 from $121,200 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Cost of revenue is comprised of salaries and maintenance costs.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $1,844,903 from $3,166,471 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. General and administrative expenses decreased primarily as a result of lower stock-based compensation of $1,241,944 and lower salaries of $407,954, partially offset by higher legal costs of $196,508.

Sales and marketing expenses increased to $545,250 from $354,005 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses increased primarily as a result of higher stock-based compensation of $185,752.

Research and development expenses decreased to $873,107 from $1,087,372 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Research and development expenses decreased primarily as a result of lower stock-based compensation of $293,470, partially offset by higher salaries of $69,111.

Settlement expense was $81,000 for the year ended September 30, 2018, as compared to $106,250 for the year ended September 30, 2017. Settlement expense for the year ended September 30, 2018 was due to the issuance of 50,000 shares of common stock to settle a legal claim. Settlement expense for the year ended September 30, 2017 was due to the issuance of 25,000 shares of common stock to terminate a software license.

Total other expenses, net, increased to $1,303,541 from $53,137 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase was due to the following:

	1.	Net loss on extinguishment of convertible notes totaling $317,268. The Company recognized a $358,038 loss on extinguishment related to the amendment of the convertible note with FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC (“FirstFire”) in December 2017, as well as a $153,621 loss on extinguishment related to the redemption of the convertible note with Peak One Opportunity Fund LP (“Peak One”) in April 2018. These losses were partially offset by a $194,391 gain on extinguishment related to the settlement of the amended FirstFire convertible note in March 2018.

	2.	The Company recognized a loss of $486,745 in December 2017, resulting from the excess fair value of the embedded conversion feature in the Peak One convertible note and of the equity instruments issued with the Peak One convertible note.

	3.	Changes in the fair value of the embedded conversion features in the FirstFire and Peak One convertible notes during the year ended September 30, 2018, totaling $8,536.

	4.	An increase in interest expense, net, to $490,992 from $53,137 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, due to interest incurred on the Company’s convertible notes with FirstFire and Peak One that were outstanding during the year ended September 30, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2018 of $54,622,513. We expect to incur substantial expenses and generate continued operating losses until we generate revenues sufficient to meet our obligations. At September 30, 2018, the Company had cash of $14,056,346. We believe that our existing cash balances are sufficient to fund future operations for the next 12 months.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, selected items in our Statements of Cash Flows:

	Year Ended September 30,
	2018			2017
Net cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(2,299,459	)	$	(1,788,764	)
Investing activities	$	(14,429	)	$	(2,798	)
Financing activities	$	16,142,838		$	1,674,820

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities was $2,299,459 and $1,788,764 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in cash used for operating activities was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $14,429 and $2,798 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in cash used for investing activities was due to an increase in fixed asset purchases.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $16,142,838 and $1,674,820 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was due to an increase in the issuances of common stock for cash.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect the liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Cipherloc Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Cipherloc Corporation (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2018, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Cipherloc Corporation

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Cipherloc Corporation (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2017, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. These 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses and had a working capital deficit as of September 30, 2017. Those factors raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with respect to these factors were previously described in Note 2. The Company’s financial statements did not include any adjustments that might have resulted from the outcome of those uncertainties had the Company been unable to continue as a going concern.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND 2017

NOTE 1- DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Significant accounting policies are as follows:

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net revenues and expenses recognized during the periods presented. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates often relate to improved information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s most significant estimate relates to the valuation of its convertible note.

Legal

The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and liabilities which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for losses associated with legal claims when such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted as additional information becomes available or circumstances change. Legal fees are charged to expense as they are incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2018 and 2017. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, cash includes cash on hand and cash in the bank. The Company maintains its cash in accounts held by large, globally recognized banks which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The FDIC insures these deposits up to $250,000. As of September 30, 2018, $13,806,346 of the Company’s cash balance was uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses on cash.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. Equipment and furniture are depreciated over an estimated useful life of three (3) to five (5) years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the related lease term or a useful life of ten (10) years. Software is depreciated over an estimated useful life of three (3) years.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. There was no impairment recorded during the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consisted primarily of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, deferred revenue, convertible note payable, as well as embedded conversion features. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.

Fair value is focused on an exit price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information is prioritized over entity specific information and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is used based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is defined as follows:

	●	Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

	●	Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;

	●	Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The fair values of the embedded conversion features in the Company’s convertible notes and of the warrants issued by the Company were determined using level 2 measurements and are discussed in further detail in Notes 5 and 8, respectively.

Convertible Debt

Convertible debt is accounted for under the guidelines established by ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. ASC 470-20 governs the calculation of an embedded beneficial conversion, a derivative instrument, which is treated as an additional discount to the instruments where derivative accounting does not apply. This applies during the period for which embedded conversion features are either fixed or not yet available to the holder. The amount of the beneficial conversion feature may reduce the carrying value of the instrument. The discounts relating to the initial recording of the derivatives or beneficial conversion features are accreted over the term of the debt.

When equity instruments, such as common stock and/or warrants, are issued with convertible debt, the net proceeds from the transaction are allocated to the convertible debt and equity instruments based on their relative fair values. The proceeds allocated to the equity instruments may reduce the carrying value of the convertible debt, and such discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt.

In the event a convertible note has an embedded conversion feature which, among other features, allows an unlimited number of common shares to be issued upon conversion since the conversion price is based on the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock, the Company records a derivative liability, which is marked to market at each reporting period and charged to the statement of operations in accordance with ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.

Customer Concentration

During the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, one customer accounted for 100% of revenues. The loss of this customer will have a significant impact on operations.

Revenue Recognition

Software license revenue is generally recognized when a signed contract or other persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been electronically delivered, the license fee is fixed or is measured on a paid user basis, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. When contracts contain multiple elements wherein Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the “Residual Method.” VSOE of fair value for maintenance and support is established by a stated renewal rate, if substantive, included in the license arrangement or rates charged in stand-alone sales of maintenance and support. Revenue from subscription license agreements, which include software, rights to unspecified future products and maintenance, is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription period. When the fair value of VSOE of post contract customer support cannot be determined, the revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. In June 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to provide software and support to a third party for which no VSOE for any elements is known. Since the customer requested additional modifications to the software before it could be used, delivery of the use of the license was not achieved until December 2015. The only remaining undelivered element was post contract support services, and accordingly, the revenues were recognized on a pro rata basis prospectively over the 30 months ending June 10, 2018 per the terms of the related contracts. Deferred revenue results from fees billed to or collected from customers for which revenue has not yet been recognized.

The Company had deferred revenue of $0 and $316,248 as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Research and Development and Software Development Costs

The Company expenses all research and development costs, including patent and software development costs. Our research and development costs incurred for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were $873,107 and $1,087,372, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of services provided by employees and non-employees in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. All equity awards granted to employees and non-employees during the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were fully vested upon grant. As such, compensation cost was recognized at the time of the grant.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that the value of such assets will be realized.

The Company uses the two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company’s tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments. The Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions during the years ended September 30, 2018 or 2017.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of shares is calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants, and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had 1,000,000 and 10,000,000 shares, respectively, of preferred stock outstanding, which are convertible into 1,500,000 and 15,000,000 shares, respectively, of common stock.

Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share during periods where net losses are incurred since the inclusion of the potential common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive as a result of the net loss. During the year ended September 30, 2018, 25,015,866 warrants and 1,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. During the year ended September 30, 2017, 725,000 warrants and 10,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Going Concern Considerations

The Company has incurred losses and may incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2017, the Company required capital to fund losses and repay indebtedness, which raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements did not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. In 2018, the Company raised capital as discussed in Note 8. Management believes the cash on hand is sufficient to enable the Company to continue in operation through calendar 2019.

Recent Accounting Announcements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issues Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to amend the authoritative literature in the ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of the ASCs. Other than those discussed below, the Company believes those ASUs issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820) – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, to modify the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The ASU removes certain disclosure requirements related to transfers between fair value hierarchy levels and valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. It modifies certain disclosure requirements for investments in entities that calculate net asset value. It adds certain disclosure requirements regarding gains and losses for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which currently only includes share-based payments to employees, to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Thus, accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Early adoption of the amendments in this standard is permitted for all entities, and the Company may recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 840): Targeted Improvements, to provide a new transition method and practical expedient for separating components of a contract. The amendments in this standard are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 3 – FIXED ASSETS, NET

As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, fixed assets consisted of the following:

	September 30,
	2018			2017
Equipment and furniture	$	11,042		$	3,355

Fixed assets, net	$	20,050		$	11,170

Depreciation expense for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $5,548 and $5,524, respectively.

NOTE 4 – SOFTWARE LICENSES

Gawk

On June 14, 2014, the Company entered into a license agreement with Gawk to use the Cipherloc engine for $1,125,000 for a period of four (4) years. This customer licensed the CipherShop-Cipherloc encryption software technology and support services. The Company was not required to make significant modifications at the time the contract was executed. Prior to this, the Company had never sold or licensed the CipherShop-Cipherloc encryption software, nor any support services for such. Under the license agreement, the Company was to provide access to its software on an operational basis and provide training. The Company would also provide unspecified upgrades, if and when available, and 24/7 support over the license term. No VSOE was known for any of the elements. After the agreement was executed, the licensee requested modifications to the software because they could not otherwise use the software. The Company made the requested modifications to the software and delivered the finished product in late December 2015, thus delivery had not deemed to have occurred until such date. The contract termination date was not extended beyond the initial date of June 2018. Revenues were recorded from the date of delivery over the remaining term of the agreement or approximately 30 months. For these reasons, revenue is recognized ratably from December 2015 until June 2018. During the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized revenues of $316,248 and $467,274, respectively.

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC

On September 26, 2017, the Company issued a convertible note payable to FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC (“FirstFire”) with a principal amount of $330,000, which included an original issue discount of $30,000. The Company incurred $8,500 in debt issuance costs. The note accrued interest at 5% per annum and was to mature on March 26, 2018. The note was convertible at $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment due to ratchet or down round protection, among other adjustments. The Company also issued 50,000 shares of its common stock, as well as warrants to purchase an additional 165,000 shares of common stock at $4.50 per share with a term of two years. The note was amended on December 20, 2017, which reduced the conversion price of the note from $2.00 to $1.00 per share and the exercise price of the warrants from $4.50 to $2.00. The amendment also required the Company to issue an additional 87,500 shares of common stock to FirstFire. The Company also received the right to prepay the convertible note at any time from the 151st through the 180th day following September 26, 2017, then the Company could repay FirstFire at 130% multiplied by the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The reduction of the conversion price from $2.00 to $1.00 was deemed to create a beneficial conversion feature, therefore, the Company accounted for the amendment of the FirstFire note using ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and recognized a loss on extinguishment of $358,038 during the three months ended December 31, 2017. The Company also recognized a beneficial conversion feature derivative liability of $320,312 as of the note’s amendment date. The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature derivative liability with the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model on the date of the amendment using an expected life of one (1) year, volatility of 150%, and risk-free rate of 1.87%.

During the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized a gain of $11,234 related to the change in fair value of the FirstFire beneficial conversion feature derivative liability. The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature derivative liability with the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model as of March 21, 2018, immediately prior to the settlement of the note as described below, using an expected life of 0.78 years, volatility of 150%, and risk-free rate of 1.71%.

Additionally, upon the December 20, 2017 amendment of the FirstFire note, the Company recorded a debt discount of $330,000. The Company amortized $312,813 of the debt discount to interest expense during the year ended September 30, 2018. Total interest expense related to the FirstFire note, including the debt discount amortization, was $453,700 for the year ended September 30, 2018.

On March 21, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with FirstFire, under which FirstFire converted $77,500 of the note payable into 50,000 shares of common stock, and the Company paid $350,000 to satisfy the convertible note payable in full. In connection with the settlement of the FirstFire note, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of $194,391.

Peak One Opportunity Fund LP

On December 14, 2017, the Company issued a convertible note payable to Peak One Opportunity Fund LP (“Peak One”) with a principal amount of $300,000.

The Company also issued 275,000 shares of its common stock, as well as warrants to purchase an additional 75,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share with a term of five years at the time of note issuance.

The Company accounted for the Peak One note using ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and recognized a beneficial conversion feature derivative liability of $267,750 as of the note’s issuance date. The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature derivative liability with the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model on the date of issuance using an expected life of 1.25 years, volatility of 150%, and risk-free rate of 1.82%. The Company also recognized a loss of $486,745 resulting from the excess fair value of the beneficial conversion feature derivative in the Peak One note and of the equity instruments issued with the convertible note.

During the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized a loss of $19,770 related to the change in fair value of the beneficial conversion feature derivative liability. The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature derivative liability with the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model as of April 30, 2018, immediately prior to the redemption of the note as described below, using an expected life of 1.17 years, volatility of 150%, and risk-free rate of 1.65%.

Additionally, upon issuance of the Peak One note, the Company recorded a debt discount of $300,000. The Company amortized $37,432 of the debt discount to interest expense during the year ended September 30, 2018.

On April 30, 2018, the Company settled the Peak One note for $375,000 and issued 71,429 shares of common stock with a fair value of $103,572 to Peak One. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $153,621.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

The provision (benefit) for income taxes from continued operations for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 consist of the following:

Current:

Valuation allowance		2,558,000			781,817
Provision (benefit) for income taxes, net	$	—		$	—

The difference between income tax expense computed by applying the federal statutory corporate tax rate and actual income tax expense is as follows:

	September 30,
	2018			2017
Statutory federal income tax rate		21.0	%		34.0	%
Non-deductible stock-based compensation		(7.0	)		(16.0	)
Change in statutory tax rate		(19.0	)		—
Valuation allowance		5.0			(18.0	)
Effective tax rate		0.0	%		0.0	%

Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for the financial reporting purposes and for tax purposes. The tax effect of these temporary differences representing deferred tax asset and liabilities result principally from the following:

	September 30,
	2018			2017
Net operating loss carry forward	$	3,536,000		$	4,725,000
Deferred compensation		3,747,000			—
Valuation allowance		(7,283,000	)		(4,725,000	)
Deferred income tax asset	$	—		$	—

The Company has a net operating loss carry forward of $16.8 million available to offset future taxable income. Of which, $2.6 million will expire within the next five years, and the remaining $14.2 million will expire thereafter. For income tax reporting purposes, the Company’s aggregate unused net operating losses were subject to the limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, because in the opinion of management based upon the earning history of the Company; it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized. For income tax reporting purposes, Management has determined that net operating losses prior to February 5, 2015 are subject to an annual limitation of approximately $600,000.

For the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the difference between the amounts of income tax expense or benefit that would result from applying the statutory rates to pretax income to the reported income tax expense of $0 is the result of the net operating loss carry forward and the related valuation allowance, as well as non-deductible stock-based compensation.

The Company anticipates it will continue to record a valuation allowance against the losses of certain jurisdictions, primarily federal and state, until such time as it is able to determine it is “more-likely-than-not” the deferred tax asset will be realized. Such position is dependent on whether there will be sufficient future taxable income to realize such deferred tax assets. The Company’s effective tax rate may vary from period to period based on changes in estimated taxable income or loss by jurisdiction, changes to the valuation allowance, changes to federal, state or foreign tax laws, future expansion into areas with varying country, state, and local income tax rates, deductibility of certain costs and expenses by jurisdiction.

The Company has not filed its federal income tax returns since 2012, which is through the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013. The Company is preparing the 2013 through 2016 filings, which report activity for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2014 through 2017. The September 30, 2018 tax return is not due at this time. The Company intends to remediate the lack of filing timely tax returns immediately. There are currently no ongoing tax examinations.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law in the U.S. The Tax Act has resulted in significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system. These changes include a federal statutory rate reduction from 35% to 21%, the elimination or reduction of certain domestic deductions and credits, and limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and executive compensation. These changes were effective beginning in 2018.

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures have not been formally designed and evaluated to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer need to carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2018, due to 1) no formal evaluation has been performed by us and 2) the existence of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below (which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures). Based on the performance of additional procedures designed to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting, we believe that the financial statements included in this Annual Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods, presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d(f) under the Exchange Act) is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets, (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, (c) provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorization of management and the Board of Directors, and (d) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

In connection with the preparation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2018 and concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2018 due to the lack of a formal evaluation that has been performed by us and the identification of material weaknesses.

Management has still identified some deficiencies in the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls as of September 30, 2018 that represent material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These deficiencies are the result of management’s failure to design, implement and maintain adequate operational and internal controls and processes, including inadequate monitoring and review controls over financial reporting and disclosures, leading to a delinquent quarterly filing, inadequate monitoring and review controls over transaction processing, the inability to prove delivery of software, and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting.

Remediation Plan

Management executed a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses discussed above. These remediation efforts are focused on:

	●	Enhancing monitoring and review controls over financial reporting and disclosures;

	●	Enhancing review and approval controls around transaction processing;

	●	Enhancing controls around proving the delivery of software; and

	●	Enhancing and maintaining written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting.

During the year ended September 30, 2018, management retained appropriate resources familiar with financial and SEC reporting requirements and added additional accounting resources to provide adequate segregation of duties.

Subsequent to September 30, 2018, management designed and implemented review and approval controls around transaction processing, including written policies and procedures. In addition, management has continued to train key accounting staff to improve controls that will eliminate the material weaknesses discussed above, as well as improve the accounting and financial reporting process.

We expect that remediation, including testing of related controls, will be completed during the 2019 fiscal year.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the year ended September 30, 2018, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting, other than the remediation actions discussed above.

Inherent Limitations on Internal Controls

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Limitations inherent in any control system include the following:

●

Judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and control and process breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes;

	●	Controls can be circumvented by individuals, acting alone or in collusion with others, or by management override;

	●	The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions;

	●	Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures; and

	●	The design of a control system must reflect the fact that resources are constrained, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Audit Committee

The Company does not have an audit committee.

Conflicts of Interest

Members of our management are associated with other firms involved in a range of business activities. Consequently, there are potential inherent conflicts of interest in their acting as officers and directors of our company. Although the directors are engaged in other business activities, we anticipate they will devote an important amount of time to our affairs.

Our officers and directors are now and may in the future become shareholders, officers or directors of other companies, which may be formed for the purpose of engaging in business activities similar to ours. Accordingly, additional direct conflicts of interest may arise in the future with respect to such individuals acting on behalf of us or other entities. Moreover, additional conflicts of interest may arise with respect to opportunities which come to the attention of such individuals in the performance of their duties or otherwise. Currently, we do not have a right of first refusal pertaining to opportunities that come to their attention and may relate to our business operations.

Our officers and directors are, so long as they are our officers or directors, subject to the restriction that all opportunities contemplated by our plan of operation which come to their attention, either in the performance of their duties or in any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to us and the companies that they are affiliated with on an equal basis. A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director. If we or the companies with which the officers and directors are affiliated both desire to take advantage of an opportunity, then said officers and directors would abstain from negotiating and voting upon the opportunity. However, all directors may still individually take advantage of opportunities if we should decline to do so. Except as set forth above, we have not adopted any other conflict of interest policy with respect to such transactions.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our executive officers, directors and employees. Code of ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business. This document will be made available in print, free of charge, to any shareholder requesting a copy in writing from the Company. A form of the code of conduct and ethics was filed as Exhibit 14.1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2004.
