NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF
BUSINESS
Organization
& History
CleanSpark,
Inc. (“CleanSpark”, “we”, “our”, the "Company") was incorporated in the State of
Nevada on October
15, 1987 as SmartData Corporation (“SmartData”). SmartData conducted a 504-public offering in the State of Nevada in December 1987
and began trading publicly in January 1988. Due to a series of unfortunate events, including the untimely death of the
founding CEO, SmartData discontinued active business operations in 1992.
On March 25,
2014, we began operations in the alternative energy sector.
In December
2014, the Company changed its name to Stratean Inc. through a short-form merger in order to better reflect its new business plan.
On July 1, 2016,
the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”), with CleanSpark Holdings
LLC, CleanSpark LLC, CleanSpark Technologies LLC, and Specialized Energy Solutions, Inc. (together, the “Seller”).
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired CleanSpark, LLC and all the assets related to the Seller and its line
of business and assumed $ 200,000 in liabilities.
In October 2016,
the Company changed its name to CleanSpark, Inc. through a short-form merger in order to better reflect the brand identity.
On January
22, 2019, CleanSpark entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Pioneer Critical Power, Inc. (“Pioneer”),
whereby the Company acquired certain intellectual property assets and a customer list. As consideration, the Company issued
to Pioneer’s sole shareholder (i) 175,000

2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
Basis of
Presentation and Liquidity
The accompanying
unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s most recent Annual Financial Statements filed
with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected
herein. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial
statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.
The Company
has incurred losses for the past several years while developing infrastructure and its software platforms. As shown in the
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net losses of $ 16,282,653 during the nine
months ended June 30, 2020. In response to these conditions and to ensure the Company has sufficient capital for ongoing
operations for a minimum of 12 months, we
have raised additional capital through the sale of debt and equity securities pursuant to a registration statement on Form
S-3. (See Note 10 and Note 18 for additional details.) As of June 30, 2020, the Company had working capital of
$ 5,631,164 .
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CleanSpark, Inc., and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, CleanSpark,
LLC, CleanSpark II LLC, CleanSpark Critical Power Systems Inc. and p2kLabs, Inc. All material intercompany transactions have
been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.
Use
of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s goodwill
impairment, impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on percentage of completion type contracts, allowances
for uncollectible accounts, and the valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances. The Company bases its estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in 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.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions including, but not limited to, the
ultimate impact that COVID-19 may have on the Company’s operations and financial results during 2020 as such impact
will depend on the ultimate severity and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are not able to fully quantify the impact that the
COVID-19 pandemic will have on our financial results during 2020 and beyond, but developments related to COVID-19 could affect
the Company’s financial performance in 2020.
Revenue
Recognition
Upon adoption of ASC Topic
606, the Company revised its accounting policy on revenue recognition from the policy provided in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019. The revised
accounting policy on revenue recognition is provided below. The Company accounts for revenue contracts with customers through
the following steps:
•
Identification of
the contract, or contracts, with a customer
•
Identification of
the performance obligations in the contract
•
Determination of the
transaction price
•
Allocation of the
transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
•
Recognition of revenue
when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation
F- 6
Table of Contents
Engineering,
Service & Installation or Construction Contracts
The
Company recognizes engineering and construction contract revenue over time, as performance obligations are satisfied, due to the
continuous transfer of control to the customer. Engineering and construction contracts are generally accounted for as a single
unit of account (a single performance obligation) and are not segmented between types of services. The Company recognizes revenue
based primarily on contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost (an input method). The input method
is the most faithful depiction of the Company’s performance because it directly measures the value of the services transferred
to the customer. Customer-furnished materials, labor and equipment and, in certain cases, subcontractor materials, labor and equipment,
are included in revenue and cost of revenue when management believes that the company is acting as a principal rather than as
an agent (i.e., the company integrates the materials, labor and equipment into the deliverables promised to the customer). Customer-furnished
materials are only included in revenue and cost when the contract includes construction activity and the Company has visibility
into the amount the customer is paying for the materials or there is a reasonable basis for estimating the amount. The Company
recognizes revenue, but not profit, on certain uninstalled materials that are not specifically produced, fabricated, or constructed
for a project. Revenue on these uninstalled materials is recognized when the cost is incurred (when control is transferred). Changes
to total estimated contract cost or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined as assessed at the
contract level. Pre-contract costs are expensed as incurred unless they are expected to be recovered from the client. Project
mobilization costs are generally charged to project costs as incurred when they are an integrated part of the performance obligation
being transferred to the client. Customer payments on engineering and construction contracts are typically due within 30 to 45
days of billing, depending on the contract.
For
service contracts (including maintenance contracts) in which the Company has the right to consideration from the customer in an
amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date, revenue
is recognized when services are performed and contractually billable. Service contracts that include multiple performance obligations
are segmented between types of services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction
price to each performance obligation using an estimate of the stand-alone selling price of each distinct service in the contract.
Revenue recognized on service contracts that have not been billed to clients is classified as a current asset under contract assets
on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized on service contracts to date are
classified as a current liability under contract liabilities. Customer payments on service contracts are typically due within
30 days of billing, depending on the contract.
Revenues from Sale
of Equipment
Performance
Obligations Satisfied at a point in time.
We recognize
revenue on agreements for non-customized equipment we sell on a standardized basis to the market at a point in time. We recognize
revenue at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the good, which is generally upon shipment or when the customer
has physical possession of the product depending on contract terms. We use proof of delivery for certain large equipment with
more complex logistics, whereas the delivery of other equipment is estimated based on historical averages of in-transit periods
(i.e., time between shipment and delivery).
In situations
where arrangements include customer acceptance provisions based on seller or customer-specified objective criteria, we recognize
revenue when we have concluded that the customer has control of the goods and that acceptance is likely to occur. We generally
do not provide for anticipated losses on point in time transactions prior to transferring control of the equipment to the customer.
Our
billing terms for these point in time equipment contracts vary and generally coincide with shipment to the customer; however,
within certain businesses, we receive progress payments from customers for large equipment purchases, which is generally to reserve
production slots with our manufacturing partners, which are recorded as contract liabilities.
F- 7
Table of Contents
Service
Performance obligations satisfied over time.
We enter
into long-term product service agreements with our customers primarily within our microgrid segment. These agreements require
us to provide preventative maintenance, and standby support services that include certain levels of assurance regarding system
performance throughout the contract periods; these contracts will generally range from 1 to 10 years. We account for items that
are integral to the maintenance of the equipment as part of our service-related performance obligation, unless the customer has
a substantive right to make a separate purchasing decision (e.g., equipment upgrade). Contract modifications that extend or revise
contract terms are not uncommon and generally result in our recognizing the impact of the revised terms prospectively over the
remaining life of the modified contract (i.e., effectively like a new contract). Revenues are recognized for these arrangements
on a straight-line basis consistent with the nature, timing and extent of our services, which primarily relate to routine maintenance
and as needed product repairs. Our billing terms for these contracts vary, but we generally invoice periodically as services are
provided.
Contract
assets represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed and include unbilled receivables (typically for cost
reimbursable contracts) of $ 0 and contract work in progress (typically for fixed-price contracts) of $ 0 and $ 57,077 as of
June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. Unbilled receivables, which represent an unconditional right to payment
subject only to the passage of time, are reclassified to accounts receivable when they are billed under the terms of the
contract. Advances that are payments on account of contract assets of $ 321,000 and $ 360,000 as of June 30, 2020 and
September 30, 2019, respectively, have been deducted from contract assets. Contract liabilities represent amounts billed to
clients in excess of revenue recognized to date. The Company recorded $ 149,493 and $ 499,401 in contract liabilities as of
June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.
Revenues
from software
The
Company derives its revenue from subscription fees from customers for access to its mVSO platform. The Company’s policy
is to exclude sales and other indirect taxes when measuring the transaction price of its subscription agreements.
The
Company’s subscription agreements generally have monthly or annual contractual terms. Revenue is recognized ratably over
the related contractual term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to a customer. Access to the platform represents
a series of distinct services as the Company continually provides access to, and fulfills its obligation to the end customer over
the subscription term. The series of distinct services represents a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time.
Revenues
from design, software development and other technology-based consulting services
For
service contracts performed under Master Services Agreements (“MSA”) and accompanying Statement(s) of Work (“SOW”),
revenue is recognized based on the performance obligation(s) outlined in the SOW which is typically hours worked or specific deliverable
milestones. In the case of a milestone-based SOW, the Company recognizes revenues as each deliverable is signed off by the customer.
Variable
Consideration
The
nature of the Company’s contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including claims and unpriced change
orders; awards and incentive fees; and liquidated damages and penalties. The Company recognizes revenue for variable consideration
when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company estimates
the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration using the expected value (i.e., the sum of a probability-weighted
amount) or the most likely amount method, whichever is expected to better predict the amount. Factors considered in determining
whether revenue associated with claims (including change orders in dispute and unapproved change orders in regard to both scope
and price) should be recognized include the following: (a) the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim,
(b) additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies
in the company’s performance, (c) claim-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed,
and (d) evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. If the requirements for recognizing revenue for claims or unapproved
change orders are met, revenue is recorded only when the costs associated with the claims or unapproved change orders have been
incurred. Back charges to suppliers or subcontractors are recognized as a reduction of cost when it is determined that recovery
of such cost is probable, and the amounts can be reliably estimated. Disputed back charges are recognized when the same requirements
described above for claims accounting have been satisfied.

Table of Contents
The C ompany
generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its engineering and construction contracts. The warranty periods
typically extend for a limited duration following substantial completion of the Company’s work on a project. Historically,
warranty claims have not resulted in material costs incurred.
Practical Expedients
If the Company has a right to consideration
from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the Company’s performance completed to date (a service
contract in which the company bills a fixed amount for each hour of service provided), the Company recognizes revenue in the amount
to which it has a right to invoice for services performed.
The Company does not adjust the contract price
for the effects of a significant financing component if the company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when
the company transfers a service to a customer and when the customer pays for that service will be one year or less.
The Company has made an accounting policy election
to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are collected by the
Company from its customers (use taxes, value added taxes, some excise taxes).
For the nine
months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company reported revenues of $ 8,073,781 and $ 2,209,542 , respectively.
Cash and
cash equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There was
$ 1,955,776 and $ 7,838,857 in cash and no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.
Accounts
receivable
Is comprised of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs ongoing
credit evaluation of its customers and management closely monitors outstanding receivables based on factors surrounding the credit
risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reviewed periodically
for collectability. If management determines that collection is unlikely, an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate
of the amounts that will not be collected is recorded. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts
of $ 400,741 and $ 254,570 at June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019, respectively.
Retention receivable
is the amount withheld by a customer until a contract is completed. Retention receivables of $ 171,513 and $ 159,989 were included
in the balance of trade accounts receivable as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.
Investment
securities
Investment securities include debt securities and equity securities. Debt securities are classified as available
for sale (“AFS”) and are reported as an asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their estimated fair value. As
the fair values of AFS debt securities change, the changes are reported net of income tax as an element of OCI, except for other-than-temporarily-impaired
securities. When AFS debt securities are sold, the unrealized gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to non-interest income.
Securities classified as AFS are securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily
to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as AFS would be based on various factors, including significant movements
in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Company’s assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, decline in credit
quality, and regulatory capital considerations.
Interest income
is recognized based on the coupon rate and increased by accretion of discounts earned or decreased by the amortization of premiums
paid over the contractual life of the security.
F- 9
Table of Contents
For individual
debt securities where the Company either intends to sell the security or more likely than not will not recover all of its amortized
cost, the OTTI is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security's cost basis and its fair value at
the balance sheet date. For individual debt securities for which a credit loss has been recognized in earnings, interest accruals
and amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts are suspended when the credit loss is recognized. Interest received after
accruals have been suspended is recognized in income on a cash basis.
The
Company holds investments in both publicly held and privately held equity securities.
Privately held
equity securities are recorded at cost and adjusted for observable transactions for same or similar investments of the issuer
(referred to as the measurement alternative) or impairment. All gains and losses on privately held equity securities, realized
or unrealized, are recorded through gains or losses on equity securities on the consolidated statement of operations.
Publicly held
equity securities are based on fair value accounting with unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected
as unrealized gains or losses on equity securities in our consolidated statement of operations.
Concentration
Risk
At times throughout
the year, the Company may maintain cash balances in certain bank accounts in excess of FDIC limits. As of June 30, 2020, the cash
balance in excess of the FDIC limits was $ 1,705,776 .
The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in these
accounts. The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue.
(See Note 17 for details.)
Warranty
Liability
The Company establishes warranty liability reserves to provide for estimated future expenses as a result
of installation and product defects, product recalls and litigation incidental to the Company’s business. Liability estimates
are determined based on management’s judgment, considering such factors as historical experience, the likely current cost
of corrective action, manufacturers’ and subcontractors’ participation in sharing the cost of corrective action, consultations
with third party experts such as engineers, and discussions with the Company’s general counsel and outside counsel retained
to handle specific product liability cases. The Company’s manufacturers and service providers currently provide substantial
warranties between ten to twenty-five years with full reimbursement to replace and install replacement parts. Warranty costs and
associated liabilities were $ 0 and $ 0 at June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.
Stock-based
compensation
The Company follows the guidelines in FASB Codification Topic ASC 718-10 “ Compensation-Stock
Compensation, ” which requires companies to measure the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange
for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized
on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company may issue compensatory shares for services including,
but not limited to, executive, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting
services.
Earnings
(loss) per share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260-10 “ Earnings Per Share, ” which
provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes
no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares
outstanding the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings
of an entity. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common
shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2020, there are 1,503,639 shares issuable upon exercise
of outstanding options and warrants which have been excluded as anti-dilutive.
Fair value
of financial instruments and derivative asset
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and
debt (See Notes 9 & 10) approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management believes
the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The carrying amount
of the Company’s long-term debt is also stated at fair value of $ 681,169 since the stated rate of interest approximates
market rates.
F- 10
Table of Contents
Fair value is
defined as the exchange 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. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable
and the last unobservable.
•
Level
1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes
for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.
•
Level
2 Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets
and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers
are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.
•
Level
3 Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting
entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based
on the best information available in the circumstances.
The following
table presents the Company’s financial instruments that are measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance
sheets on a recurring basis, and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2020:

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications
had no effect on the reported results of operations or net assets of the Company.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements
In June 2018,
the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment
Accounting," which modifies the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to nonemployees to largely align it with
the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for us for annual periods beginning
October 1, 2019. The new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2018,
the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting
for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract," which allows for the capitalization
of certain implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 allows for either retrospective
adoption or prospective adoption to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. ASU 2018-15 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will
have on our financial position and results of operations.
F- 11
Table of Contents
In February
2016, the FASB issued guidance within ASU 2016-02, Leases . The amendments in ASU 2016-02 to Topic 842, Leases ,
require lessees to recognize the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases in the statement of financial
position. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. The Company adopted the
amendments to Topic 842 on October 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company elected the transition option
issued under ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements , which allows entities to continue to apply the
legacy guidance in ASC 840, Leases , to prior periods, including disclosure requirements. Accordingly, prior period
financial results and disclosures have not been adjusted. The Company also elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitting
entities to forgo reassessment of: 1) expired or existing contracts that may contain leases; 2) lease classification of expired
or existing leases; and 3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company has also elected to apply the short term
lease measurement and recognition exemption to leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. The most significant impact of
the new standard on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements was the recognition of a right of use asset and lease
liability for operating leases for which the Company is the lessee. Upon adoption of this guidance, on October 1, 2019, the Company
recorded a Right of use asset and corresponding lease liability of $85,280 and $85,280, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet. No cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings resulted from adoption of this guidance. The new standard did not
have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.
In January
2017, the FASB issued guidance within ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 simplify the subsequent
measurement of goodwill by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. ASU 2017-04 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will
have on our financial position and results of operations.
In June, 2016, the FASB issued guidance within
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require assets measured at amortized cost
and establishes an allowance of credit losses for available for sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our financial
position and results of operations.
The Company
has evaluated all other recent accounting pronouncements, and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company's
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
3. ACQUISITION
OF P2KLABS, INC.
On January 31,
2020, the Company, entered into an Agreement with p2k, and its sole stockholder, Amer Tadayon, whereby the Company purchased all
of the issued and outstanding shares of p2k in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of cash and equity of $ 1,688,935 . The
Transaction closed simultaneously upon the execution of the Agreement by the parties on January 31, 2020.
As a result
of the Transaction, p2k is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to
the terms of the Agreement, the purchase price was as follows:
a)
$ 1,039,500 in cash was paid
to the Seller;
b)
31,183
restricted shares of the Company’s
common stock, valued at $ 145,000 ,
were issued to the Seller (the “Shares”). The Shares are subject to certain lock-up and leak-out provisions whereby
the Seller
may sell an amount of Shares equal to ten percent (10%) of the daily dollar trading volume of the Company’s common stock
on its principal market for the prior 30 days (the
“Leak-Out Terms”);
c)
$ 115,500 in cash was paid to an independent third-party escrow
agent where such cash is subject to offset for adjustments to the purchase price and indemnification purposes;
F- 12
Table of Contents
d)
64,516
restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $ 300,000 , were issued to an independent third-party escrow
agent (the “Holdback Shares”). The Holdback Shares will be released to Seller once p2k achieves certain revenue
milestones for the future performance of p2k. The
Holdback Shares will also be subject to the Leak-Out Terms once they are released from escrow 12 months from closing.
The Shares and Holdback Shares
were deemed to have a fair market value of $ 4.65 per share which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock
on January 31, 2020.
e)
26,950 Common Stock options which were deemed
to have a fair market value of $ 88,935 on the date of the closing of the Transaction.
The Company accounted
for the acquisition of p2k as an acquisition of a business under ASC 805.
The Company determined
the fair value of the consideration given to the Seller in connection with the Transaction in accordance with ASC 820 was as follows:
Consideration:
Fair Value
Cash
$ 1,155,000
95,699 shares of common stock
$ 445,000
26,950 common stock options
$ 88,935
Total Consideration
$ 1,688,935
The
total purchase price was allocated to identifiable assets deemed acquired, and liabilities assumed, of the Company’s acquisition
of p2k, based on their estimated fair values as indicated below. The business combination accounting is not yet complete, and the
amounts assigned to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are provisional. Therefore, this may result in future adjustments
to the provisional amounts as new information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

4. INVESTMENT
IN INTERNATIONAL LAND ALLIANCE
International
Land Alliance, Inc.
On November
5, 2019, CleanSpark entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with International Land Alliance,
Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“ILAL”), in order to lay a foundational framework where the Company will deploy its energy
solutions products and services to ILAL, its energy projects, and its customers.
Pursuant to
the terms of the MOU, the parties will work in good faith and pursue the following priorities over the next twelve (12) months:
1)
The Company will perform feasibility studies
to outline the details and scope of developing microgrid energy solutions to support ILAL projects.
2)
ILAL will (a) exclusively sell the Company’s
products and services as part of ILAL’s power solution for its offering of off-grid properties, and (b) include the
Company’s mPulse DER Energy Manager within the off-grid energy project bids;
3)
The Company will provide on-site testing, training,
and support services to ILAL’s projects and operations
In
connection with the MOU, and in order to support the power and energy needs of ILAL’s development and construction of
certain projects, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2019, with ILAL (the
“ILAL SPA”).
Pursuant to
the terms of the ILAL SPA, ILAL sold, and the Company purchased 1,000 shares
of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) of ILAL for an aggregate purchase price of US $ 500,000 (the
“Stock Transaction”), less certain expenses and fees. The
Series B Preferred Stock will accrue cumulative in kind accruals at a rate of 12%
per annum and shall increase by 10% per annum upon the occurrence of any trigger event. ILAL may redeem by paying in cash
within 9 months from the issuance date. The Preferred Stock becomes convertible into common stock after 9 months or when
certain triggering events occur. In the event of a conversion of any shares of the Preferred Stock, the number of conversion
shares is equal to the face value of the Preferred Stock divided by the applicable Conversion Price (defined at 65% of the 5
lowest individual daily volume weighted average prices of the Common Stock from issuance to conversion less $0.05 per share,
but no less than the Floor Price ($0.01). While the Preferred Stock is outstanding if triggering events occur, the Conversion
Rate may be decreased by 10% and the accrual rate increased by 10% for each triggering event.
The Company
believes that, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ILAL SPA, at least two triggering events have occurred. Under this
good faith belief, the Company believes that as a result of the occurrence of these triggering events, the Series B Preferred
stock should be convertible at the Company’s option, and the interest and conversion rate should be adjusted by 10% for
each such occurrence.
The Preferred
Stock is recorded as an AFS debt security and is reported at its estimated fair value as of June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020,
the Company has identified a derivative instrument in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 due to the variable conversion feature
upon certain triggering events that occurred during the period. Topic No. 815 requires the Company to account for the conversion
feature on its balance sheet at fair value and account for changes in fair value as a derivative gain or loss.
The Black-Scholes
model utilized the following inputs to value the derivative asset at the date in which the derivative asset was determined through
June 30, 2020.
Fair value assumptions:
June 30, 2020
Risk free interest rate
0.13 %
Expected term (months)
1
Expected volatility
131 %
Expected dividends
0 %
In
connection with the Stock Transaction, ILAL issued 350,000 shares of its common stock to the Company as commitment shares. The
commitment shares are recorded at $ 171,500 , or $ 0.49 per share, which was the quoted price of the shares on June 30, 2020.

5. CONTRACTUAL JOINT VENTURE
On
April 6, 2020, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with third party partners to procure, distribute, and supply
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for hospitals and frontline medical personnel. The agreement is effective until December
31, 2020, unless otherwise extended by mutual consent.
The
Company contributed capital in the amount of $ 660,000 on April 6, 2020 to assist with the procurement of these products, with
the potential for additional monies to be lent by the Company to the contractual joint venture, upon mutual consent if necessary.
The
resulting income is reported net of all other costs, and CleanSpark recognized $ 20,000
in other income from the agreement for the period ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the balance of CleanSpark funds
held in the joint venture (“JV”)
account for future orders was $ 660,000 and
is accounted for as a receivable from the third party partner since the Company considers itself as a passive investor in the
JV. The receivable is reported in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
On
July 7, 2020, the Company received its $ 660,000 in initial capital from the JV. The Company plans to continue to evaluate opportunities
under the JV and will continue to provide capital for the procurement of PPE under this agreement as future opportunities continue
to arise.

May
7, 2020, the Company applied for a loan from Celtic Bank Corporation, as lender, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program
of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) as administered by the U.S. Small
Business Administration (the "SBA"). On May 15, 2020, the loan was approved and the Company received
the proceeds from the loan in the amount of $ 531,169
(the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan took the form of a promissory note issued by the Company that matures on May
7, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0 %
per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments, less the amount of any potential forgiveness (discussed below), will
commence on December 7, 2020. The PPP Loan provides for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating
to failure to make payments thereunder. Borrower may prepay the principal of the PPP Loan at any time without incurring any
prepayment penalties. The PPP Loan is non-recourse against any individual shareholder, except to the extent that such party
uses the loan proceeds for an unauthorized purpose.
All
or a portion of the PPP Loan may
be forgiven by the SBA and lender upon application by the Company and upon
documentation of expenditures in accordance with the SBA requirements. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for
the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, and covered utilities during the applicable period beginning on
the date of loan approval. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee in
excess of $100,000, prorated annually. Not more than 25% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs. Forgiveness is
reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000 or less annually
are reduced by more than 25%. In the event the PPP Loan, or any portion thereof, is forgiven pursuant to the PPP, the amount
forgiven is applied to outstanding principal. The Company recorded interest expense of $ 3,987 and $ 0 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Securities Purchase Agreement –
December 31, 2018
On
December 31, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with an otherwise unaffiliated
third-party institutional investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investor a Senior
Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) in the aggregate face value of $ 5,250,000 . The note was
secured by all assets of the Company. The Debenture has a maturity date of two years
from the issuance date and the Company agreed to pay compounded interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Debenture at the
rate equal 7.5 % per annum. Interest is payable on the date
the applicable principal is converted or on maturity. The interest must be paid in cash and, in certain circumstances, may be paid
in shares of common stock.
The
transactions described above closed on December 31, 2018. In connection with the issuance of the Debenture and pursuant to the
terms of the SPA, the Company issued to the Investor 10,000 shares of common stock and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to acquire
up to 308,333 shares of common stock for a term of three years (the “Warrant”) on a cash-only basis at an exercise
price of $ 20.00 per share with respect to 125,000 Warrant Shares, $ 25.00 with respect to 100,000 Warrant Shares, $ 50.00 with respect
to 50,000 Warrant Shares and $ 75.00 with respect to 33,333 Warrant Shares. The warrants and shares issued were fair valued and
a debt discount of $ 4,995,000 was recorded as a result of the issuance of the warrants and shares and the recognition of a beneficial
conversion feature on the Debenture. The Company also paid a $ 5,000 due diligence fee prior to receiving the funding which was
also recorded as a debt discount.
F- 17
Table of Contents
Pursuant to the terms of
the SPA, the Investor agreed to tender to the Company the sum of $ 5,000,000 , of which the Company received the full amount as
of the closing.
Prior
to the maturity date, provided that no trigger event has occurred, the Company will have the right at any time upon 30 trading
days’ prior written notice, in its sole and absolute discretion, to redeem all or any portion of the Debenture then outstanding
by paying to the Investor an amount equal to 140% of the of the portion of the Debenture being redeemed.
The Investor may convert the Debenture
into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 95% of the mathematical average of the 5 lowest
individual daily volume weighted average prices of the common stock, less $0.50 per share, during the period beginning on the
issuance date and ending on the maturity date subject to certain floor price restrictions. In the event certain equity conditions
exist, the Company may require that the Investor convert the Debenture. In no event shall the Debenture be allowed to affect a
conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by the Investor and its
affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company.
While
the note is outstanding if Triggering Events occur the conversion rate may be decreased by 10% and the interest rate increased
by 10% for each Triggering Event which may result in the issuance of additional shares.

Debenture, as follows:

which may trigger an event of default from $ 5.00 per share to $ 1.75 per share for 5 consecutive trading days provided that

the Debenture at maturity and

2)
Lowered the closing price of the Common Stock

3)
Deleted the requirement that the Investor convert
the Debenture at maturity and
4)
Allowed the Company, to not reserve or issue to the Investor more shares
of Common Stock than were reserved for the Investor prior to the amendment date until September 29, 2020.
5)
The Company and the Investor also agreed to

11. LEASES
On October
1, 2019, the Company adopted the amendments to ASC 842, Leases , which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and
liabilities arising from operating leases on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the new lease guidance using the modified
retrospective approach and elected the transition option issued under ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements ,
allowing entities to continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, Leases , to prior periods, including disclosure
requirements. Accordingly, prior period financial results and disclosures have not been adjusted.
The Company
has operating leases under which it leases its branch offices and corporate headquarters, one of which is with a related party.
Upon adoption of the new lease guidance, on October 1, 2019, the Company recorded a right of use asset and corresponding lease
liability of $ 85,280 and $ 85,280 , respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2020, the Company's operating
lease right of use asset and operating lease liability totaled $ 52,280 and $ 52,999 , respectively. A weighted average
discount rate of 10 % was used in the measurement of the right of use asset and lease liability as of October 1,
2019. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company's incremental collateralized borrowing rate is
used to determine the present value of lease payments. This rate gives consideration to the applicable Company collateralized
borrowing rates and is based on the information available at the commencement date. The Company has elected to apply the short-term
lease measurement and recognition exemption to leases with an initial term of 12 months or less; therefore, these leases are not
recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, but rather, lease expense is recognized over the lease term on a straight-line
basis.
The
Company's leases have remaining lease terms between one year to two years , with a weighted average lease term of 0.7 years
at June 30, 2020. Some leases include multiple year renewal options. The
Company’s decision to exercise these renewal options is based on an assessment of its current business needs and market
factors at the time of the renewal. Currently, the Company has no leases for which the option to renew is reasonably certain and
therefore, options to renew were not factored into the calculation of its right of use asset and lease liability as of October
1, 2019.

Company Overview
We
are in the business of providing advanced energy software and control technology that enables a plug-and-play enterprise solution
to modern energy challenges. Our services consist of intelligent energy monitoring and controls, microgrid design and engineering
and consulting services. Our software allows energy users to obtain resiliency and economic optimization. Our software is uniquely
capable of enabling a microgrid to be scaled to the user's specific needs and can be widely implemented across commercial, industrial,
military and municipal deployment.
We refer to the operations
surrounding the above plug-and-play energy solution as our Distributed Energy Management Business (the “DER Business”).
The main assets of our DER Business include our propriety software systems (“Systems”) and also our engineering and
methodology trade secrets. The Distributed Energy Systems and microgrids that utilize our Systems are capable of providing secure,
sustainable energy with significant cost savings for our energy customers. The Systems allow customers to design, engineer, construct
and then efficiently manage renewable energy generation, storage and consumption.
Integral
to our business is our mPulse and mVSO software platforms (the “Platforms”). When the Platforms are implemented on
a customer’s power system, they are able to control the distributed energy resources on site to provide secure, sustainable
energy often at significant cost savings for our energy customers. The Platforms allows customers to efficiently manage renewable
energy generation, other distributed energy generation technologies including energy generation assets, energy storage assets,
and energy consumption assets. By having autonomous control over the distributed facets of energy usage and energy storage, customers
are able to reduce their dependency on utilities, thereby keeping energy costs relatively constant over time. The overall aim
is to transform energy consumers into energy producers by supplying power that anticipates their routine instead of interrupting
it.
Our Switchgear
Acquisition
As an energy
technology company, part of our business model is to assess our technologies, product offerings and business direction and determine
whether any strategic acquisitions would benefit us. In line with our focus, on January 22, 2019, we acquired the outstanding
capital stock of Pioneer Critical Power, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pioneer”), which we have since renamed and
redomiciled to the State of Nevada and changed the name to CleanSpark Critical Power Systems Inc.

Table of Contents
As
consideration for the transaction, we issued to its sole shareholder Pioneer Power
Solutions, Inc. (“Pioneer Power”) a total of 175,000 shares of our common stock, a 5-year warrant to purchase 50,000
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $16.00 per share and a 5-year warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of our common
stock at an exercise price of $20.00 per share.
The parties
also signed additional agreements in connection with the transaction, as previously disclosed in our SEC filings, mainly requiring
Pioneer Power to indemnify us in certain circumstances and restricting Pioneer Power from engaging in a competing business.
We also signed
a Contract Manufacturing Agreement, whereby Pioneer Power shall exclusively manufacture parallel switchgears, automatic transfer
switches and related control and circuit protective equipment for us, for a period of eighteen months.
We plan to utilize
the new intellectual property we gained from the acquisition and the manufacturing agreement in place to enter into the switchgear
equipment sales industry. We acquired executed contracts and purchase orders, which we expect will result in significant gross
sales, as well as hired personnel to operate this new line of business.
As a result
of this transaction, the parties terminated a contemplated asset purchase arrangement previously disclosed in our SEC filings.
Our acquisition
of p2kLabs, Inc.
As CleanSpark
continues to drive towards profitability and further market and sell CleanSpark software and controls, our acquisition of p2kLabs,
Inc. not only contributes additional revenues, but also adds depth to our team in sales, marketing, design and software development.
We plan to maximize
the value of our offering, internalize what would otherwise be expenses, and diversify our ability to better serve our valued
clients.
As consideration
for the transaction, we issued to its sole shareholder, Amer Tadayon, a total of
95,699 shares of our common stock and paid $1,155,000 in cash.
The parties
also signed additional agreements in connection with the transaction, as previously disclosed in our SEC filings, mainly an employment
agreement with Amer Tadayon. See note 3 for details.
Nasdaq Listing
On January 24, 2020, the Company
was approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”).
Our Contractual Joint
Venture
CleanSpark
entered into an agreement with partners to procure, distribute and supply Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for hospitals and
frontline medical personnel. The agreement is effective until December 31, 2020, unless otherwise extended by mutual consent.
The
Company contributed capital in the amount of $660,000 on April 6, 2020 to assist with the procurement of these products, with
the potential for additional monies to be lent by the Company to the contractual joint venture, upon mutual consent if necessary.
Under
the agreement, the Company will receive $0.20 per unit for each mask sold and a mutually agreeable amount for other types of PPE’s
sold through the use of its funds. Such proceeds are distributed to the Company as soon as commercially reasonable after receipt
from such customer or at the Company’s option reinvested for additional purchases.

off-set by repayments of $507,876 on promissory note, repayments of $555,000 on convertible debts and repayments of $457,820 on

Our future capital
requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts,
the expansion of our sales and marketing, the timing of new product introductions and the continuing market acceptance of our
products and services.
Management believes
that the Company has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months. However, there
can be no assurance that our operations will become profitable or that external sources of financing, including the issuance of
debt and/or equity securities, will be available at times and on terms acceptable to us, or at all. The Company’s
management prepares budgets and monitors the financial results of the Company as a tool to align liquidity needs to the recurring
business requirements.
We may be required
to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not
be able to raise monies on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business,
operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Off Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30,
2020, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07,
"Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which modifies
the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to nonemployees to largely align it with the accounting for share-based payment
awards issued to employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for us for annual periods beginning October 1, 2019. The new standard did
not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15,
"Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs
Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract," which allows for the capitalization of certain implementation
costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 allows for either retrospective adoption or prospective
adoption to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our financial position
and results of operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued
guidance within ASU 2016-02, Leases . The amendments in ASU 2016-02 to Topic 842, Leases , require lessees
to recognize the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases in the statement of financial position. The accounting
applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. The Company adopted the amendments to Topic 842
on October 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company elected the transition option issued under ASU 2018-11, Leases
(Topic 842) Targeted Improvements , which allows entities to continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, Leases ,
to prior periods, including disclosure requirements. Accordingly, prior period financial results and disclosures have not been
adjusted. The Company also elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitting entities to forgo reassessment
of: 1) expired or existing contracts that may contain leases; 2) lease classification of expired or existing leases; and 3) initial
direct costs for any existing leases. The Company has also elected to apply the short term lease measurement and recognition exemption
to leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. The most significant impact of the new standard on the Company’s Consolidated
Financial Statements was the recognition of a right of use asset and lease liability for operating leases for which the Company
is the lessee. Upon adoption of this guidance, on October 1, 2019, the Company recorded a Right of use asset and corresponding
lease liability of $85,280 and $85,280, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. No cumulative effect adjustment to retained
earnings resulted from adoption of this guidance. The new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results
of operations or cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance within
ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by comparing
the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our financial position and results
of operations.
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance within
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require assets measured at amortized cost
and establishes an allowance of credit losses for available for sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our financial
position and results of operations.
The Company
has evaluated all other recent accounting pronouncements, and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company's
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Critical
Accounting Policies
In December
2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion
and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal
of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments,
often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Our accounting
policies are discussed in detail in the footnotes to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended September 30, 2019, however we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to revenue recognition,
long-lived assets, accounts receivable, fair value of financial instruments, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, warranty
liability and stock-based compensation.

Item 3. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable
to a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K.
Item 4. Controls
and Procedures
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
We carried out
an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2020. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation
of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence
of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there
is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified material weaknesses in the design of internal control related
to the following areas: (i) Lack of documentation around the components of internal control and inadequate risk assessment process
over the Company’s internal controls; and (ii) Inadequate controls over information technology.
Remediation
Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management has implemented and continues
to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that
these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include: (i) we intend to adopt a
different financial reporting software that has increased controls built into the system functionality by the end of the current
fiscal year, in the interim we plan to implement additional controls to mitigate existing controls risks inherent to our existing
accounting software; (ii) additional controls to improve risk assessment procedures to ensure all risks have been addressed.
We believe
that these actions will remediate the material weaknesses, once management has performed its assessment of our internal controls
over financial reporting including the remedial measures described above. The weakness will not be considered remediated, however,
until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these
controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed prior to the end
of fiscal 2020.
Changes in
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other
than continuing with the remediation actions described above related to the material weakness in our internal controls, there
has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART
II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal
Proceedings
We are not a
party to any pending legal proceeding which would have a material impact to the Company. We are not aware of any pending legal
proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse
to us or have a material interest adverse to us.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
Please carefully
consider the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item I A. of
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition
or future results. In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed in such filings,
or other events that we do not currently anticipate or that we
currently deem immaterial, could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In that case,
the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Our business
may be subject to risks arising from pandemic, epidemic, or an outbreak of diseases, such as the recent outbreak of the COVID-19
illness.
The recent outbreak
of the novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a “public
health emergency of international concern,” has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. A
public health pandemic, including COVID-19, poses the risk that we or our employees, contractors, suppliers, and other partners
may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns that may be
requested or mandated by governmental authorities. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the impact that COVID-19
could have on our business, the continued spread of COVID-19 and the measures taken by the governments of countries affected could
disrupt the supply chain and adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. The COVID-19 outbreak
and mitigation measures may also have an adverse impact on global economic conditions which could have an adverse effect on our
business and financial condition. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts our results will depend on future developments
that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus
and the actions to contain its impact.
Item 2. Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
The information
set forth below relates to our issuances of securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 during the reporting
period which were not previously included in an Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or Current Report on
Form 8-K.
During the period
commencing October 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, the Company issued 47,019 shares of common stock and 750,000 shares of preferred
stock, as compensation for services.
These securities
were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The holders represented
their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards distribution. The investors were given
adequate information about us to make an informed investment decision. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising.
We directed our transfer agent to issue the stock certificates with the appropriate restrictive legend affixed to the restricted
stock.
