1.

Business

Mastermind, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or the “organization”) is an involvement marketing service agency that designs, creates and develops branding and marketing campaigns, primarily for large corporate clients with well-known brands. We specialize in customer conversion initiatives that we believe facilitate the involvement of more of the “right customers” with the brands of our clients. We focus on converting prospects to customers. Our programs can take on various forms, including creating and managing digital content, designing websites, social media and sharing campaigns, mobile merchandising, and communications and branding.

On February 14, 2018, we consummated a transactions pursuant to a Joint Venture Interest Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) made and entered into as of February 14, 2018 by and among (i) us, (ii) Mastermind Involvement Marketing, a Georgia joint venture (“MIM”), and (iii) Mastermind Marketing, Inc, a Georgia Corporation (“MM Inc.”), Digital Advize, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Advize”), and Villanta Corporation, a Georgia Corporation (“Villanta”, together with Advize and MM Inc., the “Sellers” or “Majority Stockholders”).

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement the Sellers contributed, transferred, assigned and conveyed to us all right, title and interest in and to one hundred percent (100%) of such joint venture interest in MIM (the “Contributed Joint Venture Interest”), together with any and all rights, privileges, benefits, obligations and liabilities appertaining thereto, reserving unto such Seller no rights or interests therein whatsoever, and (ii) we accepted the contribution of the Contributed Joint Venture Interest, and in consideration for such contribution the Sellers collectively were entitled to receive from us 29,236,759 of our common stock, $.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) representing 85% of our total outstanding Common Stock after the issuance of the Contribution Consideration (the “Contribution Consideration”) with each Seller receiving for its respective percentage of Contributed Joint Venture Interest that same percentage of the Contribution Consideration (such transaction, the “Business Combination”). As a result of the Business Combination, the Sellers became our controlling shareholders of and we became a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Business Combination was treated as a “reverse acquisition” for accounting purposes, whereby MIM is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and our historical financial statements before the Business Combination will be replaced with the historical financial statements of MIM and its consolidated entities before the Business Combination in all future filings.

On February 22, 2018, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended on April 20, 2018, which fully describes the transaction set forth herein.

On April 19, 2018, our Board of Directors took action by written consent to approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation (the “Amended Certificate”) to change of our name from CoConnect, Inc. to Mastermind, Inc. (the “Name Change”), subject to stockholder approval. On April 27, 2018, in lieu of a meeting of our stockholders, and pursuant to Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes of the State of Nevada, the Majority Stockholders, who represent 85% of our voting securities, approved the Amended Certificate, by written consent. On May 24, 2018, we filed the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada  to change our name to Mastermind, Inc.

Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which we consider necessary, for a fair presentation of those financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 may not necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for any succeeding quarter or for the entire fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements which are included in Exhibit 99.1 of our Current Report on Form 8-K as of and for the fiscal

years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 22, 2018, as amended on April 20, 2018.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments, which are evaluated on an ongoing basis, and that affect the amounts reported in our unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments. In particular, significant estimates and judgments include those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives and valuation of property and equipment. Our revenue recognition policy follows the guidance from Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. The Company recognizes revenues when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectability is reasonably assured; and (iv) the service has been performed or the product has been delivered. Reimbursements related to travel and out-of-pocket expenses are also included revenues. Revenue from our involvement marketing services and contracts are typically billed based on time and materials or at a fixed price. If billed at a fixed price, revenue is recognized on a proportional performance basis as the services specified in the arrangement are performed. The determination of proportional performance revenue recognition is dependent on the nature of the services specified in the arrangement. Advanced payments on services and contracts are deferred and recorded as unearned revenues on our balance sheet until the earnings process has been completed and revenue is then recognized.

3.

Related Party Transactions

On January 3, 2012, we entered into a perpetual license agreement (the “Perpetual License”) with Mastermind Marketing, Inc. (the “Licensor”), which provides for licenses of trademarks, internet domains, and certain intellectual property as defined in the Perpetual License. The Licensor is one of our members and its chief executive officer is also our chief executive officer. The Perpetual License, which may be terminated at any time by either party, is effective January 3, 2012 and provides for aggregate payments of $2,170,000 over the calendar years from 2019 through 2039 with no further payments required after December 31, 2039. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, there were no license fee payments required or payable.

On January 3, 2014, we entered into a commercial lease agreement (the “Lease”) with 1450 West Peachtree, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Landlord”), for the lease of our corporate facility in Atlanta, Georgia. In connection with the Lease, we have entered into a sublease agreement which provides for the sublease of 9,000 square feet of the total 15,000 of the demised property. The sublessor is not a related party. The manager of the Landlord is also our chief executive officer. The term of the lease is 10 years from the date of the agreement and provides for monthly rent and payment of operating expenses on a triple-net basis. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we made lease payments of $30,000 and $30,000, respectively, to the Landlord in satisfaction of our obligation pursuant to the Lease, net of payments made by the sublessee. During the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we made lease payments of $90,000 and $90,000, respectively,

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the sublessee to the Lease remitted $13,550 to us for the benefit of the Landlord. In December 2017, we remitted this payment to the Landlord. As of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, we recorded $0 and approximately $13,550, respectively, as a related party payable in our balance sheet.

On December 12, 2016, we executed a promissory note (the “Note”), in the principal amount of $500,000, with Mastermind Marketing, Inc. The principal of the Note, including all accrued interest, is due and payable on December 12, 2018. During the term of the Note, interest is payable monthly at a rate equal to the greater of 3.75% per annum or the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the last day of the month plus one-half percent (1/2%), however the interest rate will not exceed 5.5% per annum. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and

As of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, we recorded no accrued interest. As of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the principal balance outstanding was $0 and $212,290, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we made payments to our Majority Stockholders pursuant to the terms of an operating agreement, as amended, for services rendered to us in the aggregate amount of $227,810 and $112,660, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we made payments to our three majority stockholders for services rendered to us in the aggregate amount of $583,430 and $338,229, respectively.

5.

Income Taxes

Prior to February 14, 2018, the effective date of the Business Combination, no provision for income taxes was made since we were treated as a partnership for income tax purposes and the income or loss was passed through to our members.

We are required to file federal and state income tax returns in the United States. The preparation of these tax returns requires us to interpret the applicable tax laws and regulations in effect in such jurisdictions, which could affect the amount of tax paid by us. In consultation with our tax advisors, we base our tax returns on interpretations that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The tax returns, however, are subject to routine reviews by the various federal and state taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which we file tax returns. As part of these reviews, a taxing authority may disagree with respect to the income tax positions taken by us (“uncertain tax positions”) and, therefore, may require us to pay additional taxes. As required under applicable accounting rules, we accrue an amount for our estimate of additional income tax liability, including interest and penalties, which we could incur as a result of the ultimate or effective resolution of the uncertain tax positions. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed 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 years in which those temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a federal corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. We have estimated our provision for income taxes in accordance with the Tax Act and guidance available as of the date of this filing but have kept the full valuation allowance.

On December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") was issued to address the application of US GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. The deferred tax expense recorded in connection with the remeasurement of deferred tax assets is a provisional amount and a reasonable estimate at December 31, 2017 based upon the best information currently available. The ultimate impact may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Act. Any subsequent adjustment to these amounts will be recorded to current tax expense in the quarter of 2018 when the analysis is complete. The accounting is expected to be complete when the 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed in 2018.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are “forward-looking” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Litigation Reform Act”). These forward-looking statements and other information are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by us using information currently available.

The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or using other similar expressions.

In accordance with the provisions of the Litigation Reform Act, we are making investors aware that such forward-looking statements, because they relate to future events, are by their very nature subject to many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. For example, we may encounter competitive, technological, financial and business challenges making it more difficult than expected to continue to develop and market our products; the market may not accept our existing and future products; we may not be able to retain our customers; we may be unable to retain existing key management personnel; and there may be other material adverse changes in our operations or business. Certain important factors affecting the forward-looking statements made herein also include, but are not limited to (i) continued downward pricing pressures in our targeted markets, (ii) the continued acquisition of our customers by certain of our competitors, and (iii) continued periods of net losses, which could require us to find additional sources of financing to fund operations, implement our financial and business strategies, meet anticipated capital expenditures and fund research and development costs. In addition, assumptions relating to budgeting, marketing, product development and other management decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our marketing, capital expenditure or other budgets, which may in turn affect our financial position and results of operations. For all of these reasons, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no responsibility to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise except as required by law. For further information, you are encouraged to review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2018, as amended on April 20, 2018, and risk factors as discussed therein under Item 2.01.

Overview

Mastermind, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or the “organization”) is an involvement marketing service agency that designs, creates and develops branding and marketing campaigns, primarily for large corporate clients with well-known brands. We specialize in customer conversion initiatives that we believe facilitate the involvement of more of the “right customers” with the brands of our clients. We focus on converting prospects to customers. Our programs can take on various forms, including creating and managing digital content, designing websites, social media and sharing campaigns, mobile merchandising, and communications and branding.

On February 14, 2018, we consummated a transactions pursuant to a Joint Venture Interest Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) made and entered into as of February 14, 2018 by and among (i) us, (ii) Mastermind Involvement Marketing, a Georgia joint venture (“MIM”), and (iii) Mastermind Marketing, Inc, a Georgia Corporation (“MM Inc.”), Digital Advize, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Advize”), and Villanta Corporation, a Georgia Corporation (“Villanta”, together with Advize and MM Inc., the “Sellers”).

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement the Sellers contributed, transferred, assigned and conveyed to us all right, title and interest in and to one hundred percent (100%) of such joint venture interest in MIM (the “Contributed Joint Venture Interest”), together with any and all rights, privileges, benefits, obligations and liabilities appertaining thereto, reserving unto such Seller no rights or interests therein whatsoever, and (ii) we accepted the contribution of the Contributed Joint Venture Interest, and in consideration for such contribution the Sellers collectively were entitled to receive from us twenty-nine million two hundred thirty-six thousand seven hundred fifty-nine (29,236,759) of our common stock, $.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) representing eighty-five percent (85%)



10





of the total outstanding Common Stock after the issuance of the Contribution Consideration (the “Contribution Consideration”) with each Seller receiving for its respective percentage of Contributed Joint Venture Interest that same percentage of the Contribution Consideration (such transaction, the “Business Combination”). As a result of the Business Combination, the Sellers became our controlling shareholders and we became a wholly-owned subsidiary.

On February 22, 2018, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended on April 20, 2018, which fully describes the transaction set forth herein and is incorporated herein by reference.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the financial statements which are included in Exhibit 99.1 of our Current Report on Form 8-K as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon these financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. In the past, actual results have not been materially different from our estimates. However, results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 vs. June 30, 2017

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were $1,460,050 as compared with $1,043,731 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $416,319 or 39.9%. The increase is attributable to incremental project assignments creating increased project revenues from certain significant existing customers during the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the comparable prior year period. It is anticipated that these increased project assignments will be ongoing and recurring in future periods.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $1,163,440 or 79.7% of revenues, compared with $766,424 or 73.4% of revenues, for the comparable prior year period. The increase in gross profit dollars and gross profit as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to certain projects in the prior nine months containing greater contractual out of pocket cost requirements as a percentage of the projects in the aggregate thereby adversely affecting our overall gross profit. The current period projects contain less contractually agreed upon out of pocket costs as a percentage of projects in the aggregate thereby having a favorable effect on our gross profit.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were $792,494 as compared with $581,276 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $211,218 or 36.3%. Our general and administrative expenses increased as a result of increased (i) personnel and overhead costs in support of our current increase and growth in revenues; and (ii) incremental legal and professional fees in connection with transitioning from a private to public company of approximately $40,000.

Other (Expense), Net

Other (expense), net for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $22,007 as compared with $1,650 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $20,357. The increase is primarily due to interest expense recognized on our related party note payable.



11





Nine Months Ended June 30, 2018 vs. June 30, 2017

Revenues

Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 were $3,670,474 as compared with $2,344,188 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $1,326,286 or 56.6%. The increase is attributable to incremental project assignments creating increased project revenues from certain significant existing customers during the nine months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the comparable prior year period. It is anticipated that these increased project assignments will be ongoing and recurring in future periods.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 were $3,138,444 or 85.5% of revenues, compared with $1,637,411 or 69.9% of revenues, for the comparable prior year period. The increase in gross profit dollars and gross profit as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to certain projects in the prior nine months containing greater contractual out of pocket cost requirements as a percentage of the projects in the aggregate thereby adversely affecting our overall gross profit. The current period projects contain less contractually agreed upon out of pocket costs as a percentage of projects in the aggregate thereby having a favorable effect on our gross profit.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 were $2,458,222 as compared with $1,682,153 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $776,069 or 46.1%. Our general and administrative expenses increased as a result of increased (i) personnel and overhead costs in support of our current increase and growth in revenues; and (ii) incremental legal and professional fees in connection with transitioning from a private to public company of approximately $140,000.

Other (Expense), Net

Other (expense), net for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 was $80,606 as compared with $15,676 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $64,930. The increase is primarily due to the merger costs incurred in connection with the Business Combination that was consummated on February 14, 2018. Additionally, other (expense), net also includes interest expense recognized on our related party note payable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2018, we had cash of $555,922, an increase of $10,018 when compared with a balance of $545,904 as of September 30, 2017.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, we had net cash of $350,335 provided by operating activities as compared with net cash of $474,754 provided by operating activities for the comparable prior year period. Our uses of cash for operating activities have primarily consisted of salaries and wages for our employees; costs incurred in connection with performance on client projects; facility and facility-related costs, material and professional fees. The sources of our cash flows from operating activities have consisted primarily of payments received from clients in connection with the performance on contractually agreed-upon projects. Net cash flows provided by operating activities decreased by $124,419, as compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to an increase in receivables from customers for billed projects during the period. These cash outflows were primarily offset by an increase in net income reported during the current period as compared to a net loss for the comparable prior year period.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, we had net cash of $114,540 used in investing activities as compared with net cash of $100,000 used in investing activities for the comparable prior year period. The net cash outflows during the nine months ended June 30, 2018 are a result of the purchase of computers and office equipment in the amount of $14,540 and cash distributions of $100,000 to the members prior to the merger. The net cash outflows during the nine months ended June 30, 2017 are a result of the cash distributions of $100,000 to the members prior to the merger.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, we had net cash of $225,777 used in financing activities as compared to net cash of $121,246 used in financing activities for the comparable prior year period. The net cash used in financing activities of $225,777 and $121,246 during the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, is due to repayments on the related party note payable and related party advance.

The ability to attract additional capital investments for more rapid expansion in the future will depend on many



12





factors, including the availability of credit, rate of revenue growth, ability to acquire new client opportunities, the timing of new service product introductions and enhancements to existing services/products, and the opportunities to acquire complimentary businesses that may be made available to us from time-to-time. We believe that as of June 30, 2018 our cash position and cash flows from our fiscal 2018 operations will be sufficient to fund our working capital and planned strategic activities, excluding acquisitions, if any, for at least the next twelve months.

Any potential future sale of equity or debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders, and we cannot be certain that additional public or private financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are required to raise additional financing, but are unable to obtain such financing, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more aspects of our operations or business development activities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2018, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of June 30, 2018 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of June 30, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to (i) insufficient segregation of duties in the finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel; and (ii) inadequate corporate governance policies. In the future, subject to working capital limitations, we intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make improvements to remediate these deficiencies.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
