Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure and Controls and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined) in Exchange Act Rules 13a - 15(c) and 15d - 15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective (1) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to us, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a , et seq. ) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the registrant have been detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
-9-
The term internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
●
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
●
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
●
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2022. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO-2013) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting through the date of this report or during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
Independent Registered Accountant's Internal Control Attestation. This report does not include an attestation report of the registrant's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the registrant's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the registrant to provide only management's report in this report.
Remediation plans for material weaknesses over internal controls. Our plans to mitigate material weaknesses in disclosure controls and procedures for future filings will be dependent on our ability to obtain adequate financing to fund development of our financial reporting infrastructure. At this time it is not cost beneficial for us to utilize capital to focus on mitigating financial reporting weaknesses; however, we expect to implement a plan for remediation of these deficiencies when sufficient funding to implement such a plan is available.

The members of our board of directors are subject to change from time to time by the vote of the stockholders at special or annual meetings to elect directors. Our current board of directors consists of three directors who have expertise in the business of Cleartronic. Based on our continuing profitability, we intend to seek directors and officers who would be able to assist in the execution of our business plan.
The foregoing notwithstanding, except as otherwise provided in any resolution or resolutions of the board, directors who are elected at an annual meeting of stockholders, and directors elected in the interim to fill vacancies and newly created directorships, will hold office for the term for which elected and until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.
Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or any series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors pursuant to any resolution or resolutions of the board, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series thereof may generally be filled by a majority of the directors elected by such class or classes or series then in office, by a sole remaining director so elected or by the unanimous written consent or the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series entitled to elect such director or directors. Officers are elected annually by the directors. There are no family relationships among our directors and officers.
We may employ additional management personnel, as our board of directors deems necessary. Cleartronic has not identified or reached an agreement or understanding with any other individuals to serve in management positions, but does not anticipate any problem in employing qualified staff.
A description of the business experience for the directors and executive officers of Cleartronic is set forth below.
Richard J. Martin currently serves as Chairman and Director of Cleartronic, Inc. Prior to joining the Cleartronic team, Martin served as CEO of SMARTLogix, Inc., a petroleum logistics technology company which he founded in 2000. Graduating with an Engineering degree from The University of Buffalo's School of Engineering, Martin joined the Exxon Management Development Program. Following his tenure at Exxon, he purchased an Exxon distributorship in the Carolinas. Culp Petroleum was transformed into a large regional distribution company. While at Culp, Martin developed and implemented several technologies that have since become industry standards. Martin sold the petroleum business in 2005 and focused his efforts on his technology ventures including the SMARTank division of SMARTLogix. SMARTank grew substantially and the technology was later sold to a public company in 2011.
Michael M. Moore is currently Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Cleartronic, Inc. He was founder and CEO of Collabria, LLC, a private software development company. Prior to founding Collabria in 2008, Moore for 13 years was CEO of DTNet Group and for seven years served as CEO of Payroll Transfers, Inc. He also was an assistant vice president with both Kidder Peabody and Merrill Lynch. Mr. Moore is an honors graduate of the United States Air Force Academy and served as an Air Force fighter pilot for eight years, flying F-4 and F-16 fighter aircraft. He is also one of six entrepreneurs profiled in the book Daring Visionaries, How Entrepreneurs Build Companies, Inspire Allegiance, and Create Wealth.
Larry Reid is the founder of Cleartronic and a co-founder of VoiceInterop. With over thirty years of executive management experience including sales and marketing, operations management, and financial management, from 2001 to 2005 Mr. Reid served as CFO and director of Connectivity, Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of emergency call boxes. He was instrumental in Connectivity's acquisition by CNE Group, Inc., (an American Stock Exchange listed company) and served as Executive Vice President and Director of CNE from 2003 to 2005. Mr. Reid has broad experience in venture start-ups, raising capital, building organizational synergies, creating and developing joint ventures and strategic partnerships, opening new markets, and driving key business initiatives. Early in his professional career in corporate financial management, Mr. Reid was responsible for raising more than $5 million in start-up capital for Ocurest Laboratories, Inc., a company he co-founded to package and distribute over-the-counter eye drops in a new (patented) eye drop dispenser.

Committees of the Board
We do not currently have an Audit, Executive, Finance, Compensation, or Nominating Committee, or any other committee of the Board of Directors.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, our directors and certain of our officers, and persons holding more than 10 percent of our common stock are required to file forms reporting their beneficial ownership of our common stock and subsequent changes in that ownership with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Such persons are also required to furnish Cleartronic with copies of all forms so filed.
Based solely upon a review of copies of such forms filed on Forms 3, 4, and 5, and amendments thereto furnished to us, we believe that as of the date of this report, our executive officers, directors and greater than 10 percent beneficial owners have not complied on a timely basis with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (PCAOB ID 5036 )
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Cleartronic, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Cleartronic, Inc. (the Company) as of September 30, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related consolidated 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, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for year ended September 30, 2022, 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 audits. 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 audits 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 audits, 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Valuation of accounts receivable
Description of the Matter
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company provides an allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon a periodic review and analysis of outstanding accounts receivable balances. Uncollectible receivables are charged to the allowance when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are used to credit the allowance account in the periods in which the recoveries are made.
How We addressed the Matter in our Audit
The primary procedures performed included evaluating the methodologies used in the determination of allowance for doubtful account and reviewing historical data, collections and other inputs used by the Company as well as subsequent collections.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Uncollectible receivables are charged to the allowance when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are used to credit the allowance account in the periods in which the recoveries are made.
Auditing management's estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts was highly judgmental as it involved our assessment of the historical data, collections and other inputs used by the Company.
To test the allowance for doubtful accounts, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, evaluating the methodologies used in the determination of allowance for doubtful account and the historical data, collections and other inputs used by the Company as well as the subsequent collections.

CLEARTRONIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2022 and 2021
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Cleartronic, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Florida on November 15, 1999. All current operations are conducted through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, ReadyOp Communications, Inc. ("ReadyOp"), a Florida corporation incorporated on September 15, 2014. ReadyOp facilitates the marketing and sales of subscriptions to the ReadyOp™ and ReadyMed ™ platforms and the AudioMate IP gateways discussed below.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements contain the consolidated accounts of Cleartronic, Inc. and its subsidiary, ReadyOp Communications, Inc. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
USE OF ESTIMATES
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and operations for the reporting period.
Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.
Significant estimates include the assumptions used in valuation of deferred tax assets, estimated useful life of property and equipment, valuation of inventory and allowance for doubtful accounts.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not own any cash equivalents on September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company provides an allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon a periodic review and analysis of outstanding accounts receivable balances. Uncollectible receivables are charged to the allowance when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are used to credit the allowance account in the periods in which the recoveries are made. When a client is invoiced, the amount is recorded as an asset in Accounts Receivable and as Deferred Revenue in Current Liabilities. When payment is received the amount is moved to Cash on the balance sheet and Accounts Receivables are reduced. The amount listed as Deferred Revenue is amortized monthly over the license period.
The Company provided $ 18,000 and $ 10,000 allowances for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.
F-7
PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS
Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist primarily of deferred subscriber costs and prepaid expenses. Deferred subscriber costs totaling $ 38,250 and $ 41,283 at September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Prepaid expenses totaling $ 15,361 and $ 6,100 at September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively are primarily for insurance and other items
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or the underlying lease term for leasehold improvements, whichever is shorter or when the property and equipment is put into service.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company currently maintains cash balances at one FDIC-insured banking institution. Deposits held in non interest-bearing transaction accounts are insured up to a maximum of $ 250,000 at all FDIC-insured institutions. As of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company had $ 208,135 and $ 139,577 , respectively, in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.
For the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $ 204,918 and $ 167,661 respectively, in research and development costs.
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND DEFERRED REVENUES
The Company revenue recognition policy follows guidance from Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from contract with customers. Revenue is recognized when the Company has transferred promised goods and services to the customer and in the amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount:
i. Identification of Contact with a customer;
ii. Identify the performance obligation of the contract
iii. Determine transaction price;
iv. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
v. Recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The Company generates revenue primarily through the sale of integrated hardware and software licenses. The portion of the contract that is associated with ongoing hosting and related customer service is amortized monthly over the license period. The Company incurs certain incremental contract costs (referred to as deferred subscriber acquisition costs, net) including selling expenses (primarily commissions) related to acquiring customers. Deferred subscriber acquisition costs, net are included in prepaid and expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Commissions paid in connection with acquiring new customers are determined based on the value of the contractual fees. Deferred subscriber acquisition costs will be expensed as incurred on the date the revenue associated with the cost is recognized. As of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, the Company recorded $ 38,250 and $ 41,283 , respectively, in deferred subscriber costs, which are included as a component of prepaid expense.
In transactions in which hardware is sold to a customer, the Company recognizes the revenue when the hardware has been shipped to the customer. The hardware supplied by the Company does not require a related software license and can be operated and fully functional without the Company's software.
From time to time clients request special training meetings. We send employees to these meeting and charge our clients on a per diem basis. These charges are recorded as consulting fees on our income statement.
The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative stand alone selling price. Revenue associated with the sale and installation of system licenses is recognized once installation is complete.
Customer billings for services not yet rendered are deferred and recognized as revenue as services are provided. These fees are recorded as current deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet as the Company expects to satisfy any remaining performance obligations as well as recognize the related revenue within the next twelve months. Accordingly, the Company has applied the practical expedient regarding deferred revenue to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations if (i) the contract has an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) the Company recognizes revenue in proportion to the amount it has the right to invoice for services performed. As of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, the Company recorded $ 1,125,511 and $ 1,131,796 , respectively, in deferred revenue.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share ("EPS") are the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. EPS is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16, basic EPS shall be computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by adding both the dividends declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from income from continuing operations (if that amount appears in the income statement) and also from net income. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options or warrants.
Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-45-21 through 260-10-45-45-23 Diluted EPS shall be based on the most advantageous conversion rate or exercise price from the standpoint of the security holder. The dilutive effect of outstanding call options and warrants (and their equivalents) issued by the reporting entity shall be reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method unless the provisions of paragraphs 260-10-45-35 through 45-36 and 260-10-55-8 through 55-11 require that another method be applied. Equivalents of options and warrants include non-vested stock granted to employees, stock purchase contracts, and partially paid stock subscriptions (see paragraph 260–10–55–23). Anti-dilutive contracts, such as purchased put options and purchased call options, shall be excluded from diluted EPS. Under the treasury stock method: a. Exercise of options and warrants shall be assumed at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later) and common shares shall be assumed to be issued. b. The proceeds from exercise shall be assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. (See paragraphs 260-10-45-29 and 260-10-55-4 through 55-5.) c. The incremental shares (the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and the number of shares assumed purchased) shall be included in the denominator of the diluted EPS computation.
As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had no options and warrants outstanding.
As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had 512,996 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock outstanding, which are convertible into 51,299,600 shares of common stock.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company measures the fair value of its assets and liabilities under ASC topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". ASC 820 defines "fair value" as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There was no impact relating to the adoption of ASC 820 to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
- Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
- Level 3: Inputs that are generally observable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value.
Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
INVENTORY
Inventory consists of components held for assembly and finished goods held for resale or to be utilized for installation in projects. Inventory is valued at lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company's policy is to record a reserve for technological obsolescence or slow-moving inventory items. The Company only carries finished goods to be shipped along with completed circuit boards and parts necessary for final assembly of finished product. All existing inventory is considered current and usable. The Company recorded no reserve for obsolete inventory as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.
At September 30, 2022 inventory was $ 21,097 of raw materials and $ 0 of finished goods.
At September 30, 2021, inventory was $ 12,593 of raw materials and $ 2,060 of finished goods.

Revenue and Accounts Receivable Concentration
No customer accounted for more than 10 % of the Company’s revenue for the year ended September 30, 2022.

Major Supplier and Sole Manufacturing Source
The Company relies on no major supplier for its products. The Company has contracted with local manufacturing facilities to provide completed circuit boards used in the assembly of its IP gateway devices. Interruption of adequate supply of components, primarily computer chips, to the manufacturing source presents additional risk to the Company. The Company believes that additional commercial facilities exist at competitive rates to match the resources and capabilities of its existing manufacturing source, but the current worldwide shortage of computer chips does limit our ability to supply our proprietary radio gateways to clients and other buyers .
Employment Agreements
In December 2016, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Larry M. Reid as Chief Executive Officer of the corporation and appointed Mr. Reid as Chief Financial Officer. The Board also appointed Michael M. Moore as Chief Executive Officer.

Under the terms of an employment agreement effective on March 13, 2015, Mr. Reid as CFO receives an annual salary of $ 96,000 . The term of agreement is for a one-year period beginning on the effective date and shall automatically renew and continue in effect for additional one-year periods. Effective October 1, 2021, the annual compensation increased to $ 104,000 .
Exclusive Licensing Agreement
On May 5, 2017, the Company entered into an Exclusive Licensing Agreement with Sublicensing Terms (the "Agreement") with the University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc. ("USFRF") relating to an exclusive license of certain patent rights in connection with one of USFRF's U.S. Patent Applications. Both parties recognize that the research and development work provided by the Company was sufficient for USFRF to enter into the Agreement with the Company.
The Agreement is effective April 25, 2017 and continues until the later of the date that no Licensed Patent remains a pending application or an enforceable patent or the date on which the Licensee's obligation to pay royalties expires.
F-12
The Company agreed to pay USFRF a royalty of 3 % for sales of all Licensed Products and Licensed Processes and agreed to pay USFRF minimum royalty payments as follows:

$ 1,000
2019
$ 4,000
2020
$ 8,000
2021
-and every year thereafter on the same date, for the life of the agreement.
In the event the Company proposes to sell any Equity Securities, then USFRF will have the right to purchase 5 % of the securities issued in such offering on the same terms and conditions are offered to other purchasers in such financing. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company has recorded $ 8,000 and $ 8,953 for the minimum royalty for the fiscal year ended 2022 and 2021.
NOTE 8 - DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
The Company calculates its deferred tax assets based upon its consolidated net operating loss (NOL) carryovers available to offset future taxable income, net of other tax credit(s) or tax deferred liabilities, if any. No deferred tax assets for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been recorded since any available deferred tax assets are fully offset by increases in its valuation allowances. The Company increased its valuation allowance based on its history of consolidated net losses. At September 30, 2022, the Company has an adjusted net operating loss carryforward of approximately $13,782,000 that expire through 2039 . Should a cumulative change in the ownership of more than 50 % occur within a three-year period, there could be an annual limitation on the use of the net operating loss carryforwards.
Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes plus any available consolidated, net deferred tax credits. Significant components of the Company's net deferred income tax assets at September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively are as follows:

Management has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not use the NOL carryforward and has a 100 % valuation allowance against the deferred asset. The reserve is based on historical experience of the Company's operations as it has not recognized net income in its current incarnation and there is no indication of any events or conditions that would show that trend will not continue due to the Company's current expectation of expense requirements.
NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On December 2, 2022, and effective on January 1, 2023, the Company signed a two-year lease of 1,145 square feet for our principal offices in Clearwater, Florida. The monthly rent is $ 2,134 in year one and increases to $ 2,198 in year two. The lease expires on December 31, 2024 .
