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, 2023, 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 SECs 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 Commissions 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 issuers management,
including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
- 6 -
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.
Managements
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.
The
term internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuers principal
executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuers 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 issuers
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, 2023. 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. Management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30,
2023.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in the registrants internal control over financial
reporting through the date of this report or during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the registrants internal control over financial reporting.

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 sheets of Cleartronic, Inc. (the Company) as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flow for each of the years in the two-year
period ended September 30, 2023, 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, 2023 and
2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2023, 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 credit losses 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 credit losses and reviewing
historical data, collections and other inputs used by the Company as well as subsequent collections. Based on our procedures we deemed
the Company’s treatment of accounts receivable and the corresponding allowance for credit losses to be appropriate as of September
30, 2023.
Assurance Dimensions
We
have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
September
30, 2023 and 2022
NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION
Cleartronic,
Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Florida on November 15, 1999. All current operations are conducted through the Companys
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 consolidated 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 managements 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 credit losses.
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 has investments Treasury Bills. The Treasury Bills have remaining terms ranging from four-week month to thirteen weeks on September
30, 2023.
Treasury Bills with
an original maturity date of three months or less are included within cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet at September
30, 2023.
ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The
Company maintains current receivable amounts with most of its customers. The Company regularly monitors and assesses its risk of not
collecting amounts owed by customers. This evaluation is based upon an analysis of current and past due amounts, along with relevant
history and facts particular to the customer. The Company records its allowance for credit losses based on the results of this analysis.
The analysis requires the Company to make significant estimates and as such, changes in facts and circumstances could result in material
changes in the allowance for credit losses. The Company considers as past due any receivable balance not collected within its contractual
terms.
The
Company provided $ 63,665
and $ 18,000
allowances for doubtful accounts as of September
30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, respectively.
PREPAID
EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS
Prepaid
expenses and other current assets consist primarily of deferred subscriber costs and prepaid expenses. Deferred subscriber costs totalling
$ 38,250
and $ 38,250
at September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022,
respectively. Prepaid expenses totalling $ 30,272
and $ 15,361
at September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022,
respectively.
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.
INTANGIBLE
ASSETS
The
Companys intangible assets consist of fees paid to outside consulting services that are assisting us in obtaining FedRAMP certification.
At September 30, 2023, The Company had intangible assets with a cost of approximately $ 44,373 ,
with finite lives. The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives over the shorter of their estimated useful or
legal life. The useful life is reevaluated for each reporting period. For the year ended September 30, 2023, no
amortization expense was recorded.
The
Company evaluates intangible assets with finite lives for impairment at least annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate
that an impairment may exist. The Company determined that none of its intangible assets were impaired during the year ended
September 30, 2023.
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, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company had $ 118,140
and $ 208,135 ,
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, 2023 and 2022, the Company had $ 27,314
and $ 19,742
respectively, in research and development costs.
Salary expenses for the year ended September 30, 2022 were reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation.
F- 6
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 software licenses and integrated hardware. 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.
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
Companys 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.
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, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, the Company recorded $ 1,177,680
and $ 1,125,511 ,
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, 2023 and 2022, we had no options and warrants outstanding.
As
of September 30, 2023 and 2022, we had 512,996
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock
outstanding, which are convertible into 51,299,600

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 Companys 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 managements
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 managements opinion that
the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
As
of September 30, 2023 and 2022, we held no assets that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. There were no
transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively.
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 Companys 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, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
At
September 30, 2023 inventory was $ 21,913
of raw materials.
At
September 30, 2022, inventory was $ 21,097
of raw materials.
ADVERTISING
COSTS
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred. The Company had advertising costs of $ 95,373
and $ 51,318
during the years ended September 30, 2023 and
2022, respectively.

RECENT
ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Troubled
Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures
In
March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit
Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (ASU 2022-02), which eliminates the accounting guidance
on troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) for creditors in ASC 310, Receivables (Topic 310), and requires entities to provide
disclosures about current period gross write-offs by year of origination. Also, ASU 2022-02 updates the requirements related to accounting
for credit losses under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors
with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 was effective for the
Company October 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
RECENT
ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The
Company continues to monitor new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and does not believe any accounting pronouncements issued
through the date of this report will have a material impact on the Companys Financial Statements.
In
the current year, the Company adjusted its classification of selling and administrative expenses in the Statement of Operations. For
comparative purposes, amounts in the prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations. These reclassifications
had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.
LEASE
ACCOUNTING
We
determine if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception and record the leases in our financial statements upon lease
commencement, which is the date when the underlying asset is made available for use by the lessor.
We
have a lease agreement with lease and non-lease components and have elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for lease and
non-lease components together as a single combined lease component, from both a lessee and lessor perspective with the exception of direct
sales-type leases and production equipment classes embedded in supply agreements. From a lessor perspective, the timing and pattern of
transfer are the same for the non-lease components and associated lease component and, the lease component, if accounted for separately,
would be classified as an operating lease.
We
have elected not to present short-term leases on the balance sheet as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception
and do not contain purchase options or renewal terms that we are reasonably certain to exercise. All other lease assets and lease liabilities
are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because our lease does not provide
an implicit rate of return, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining
the present value of lease payments.
In
general, leases, where we are the lessee, may include options to extend the lease term. These leases may include options to terminate
the lease prior to the end of the agreed upon lease term. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, lease terms include options
to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options.
Lease
expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as cost of revenues or operating expenses depending
on the nature of the leased asset. Certain operating leases provide for annual increases to lease payments based on an index or rate.
We calculate the present value of future lease payments based on the index or rate at the lease commencement date.
Differences
between the calculated lease payment and actual payment are expensed as incurred. Amortization of finance lease assets is recognized
over the lease term as cost of revenues or operating expenses depending on the nature of the leased asset.
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.

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.

NOTE
7 - DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
The
provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax
rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled.
The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
Uncertain
tax positions are recognized only when the Company believes it is more likely than not that the tax position will be upheld on examination
by the taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. The Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments
to its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows were required as of September 30, 2023 and 2022.
The
Company filed consolidated tax returns for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, which are subject to examination by federal and
state tax jurisdictions. No income tax returns are currently under examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes interest
and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties
associated with uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for tax
years 2020 through 2023 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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, 2023 and 2022 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, 2023, the
Company has an adjusted net operating loss carryforward of approximately $13,608,000 that expire through 2040. 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 Companys net deferred income tax assets at September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 Companys 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 Companys current
expectation of expense requirements.
