Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CleanSpark, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”)
as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash
flows for the years then ended, 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, 2020 and 2019, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company’s financial statements based on our 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 audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly,
we express no such opinion.
Our
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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS
Organization
CleanSpark, Inc. (“CleanSpark”,
“we”, “our”, the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on October 15, 1987 as SmartData
Corporation. 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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting
policies of CleanSpark is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated
financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who
are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity
The
Company has incurred losses for the past several years while developing infrastructure and its software platforms.
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements, the Company incurred net losses of $ 23,346,143
and $ 26,116,932
during the years ended September 30, 2020
and September 30, 2019, respectively. 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. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had working capital of approximately $ 2,869,329 .
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, p2kLabs, Inc, and GridFabric, LLC. 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, intangible assets acquired, 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-10 may have on the Company’s operations.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize
revenue in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as outlined in the Financial Accounting Standard Board's (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, which requires that five steps
be followed in evaluating revenue recognition: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identity the performance obligations
in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price; and (v) recognize revenue when or
as the entity satisfied a performance obligation.
We did not have a cumulative impact
as of October 1, 2019 due to the adoption of Topic 606.
F- 7
Table of Contents
Our accounting policy on revenue recognition
by type of revenue is provided below.
Engineering & Construction
Contracts and Service 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.

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). Generally, shipping costs are included in the price of equipment unless the customer requests a non-standard shipment.
In situations where an alternative shipment arrangement has been made, the Company recognizes the shipping revenue upon customer
receipt of the shipment.
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.
Due to the customized nature of the equipment, the Company does
not allow for customer returns.

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 $ 4,103 and $ 57,077 as of September 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 $ 0 and $ 0 as of September 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
$ 64,198 and $ 499,401 in contract liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.
Revenues
from software
The Company derives its software revenue from both subscription
fees from customers for access to its energy software offerings and software license sales and support services. Revenues from
software licenses are generally recognized upfront when the software is made available to the customer and revenues from the related
support is generally recognized ratably over the contract term. 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
F- 9
Table of Contents
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.
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 year ended September 30, 2020
and 2019, the Company reported revenues of $ 10,028,701 and $ 4,532,782 , respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the 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 $ 3,126,202 and $ 7,838,857 in cash and no cash
equivalents as of September 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 $ 42,970 and $ 254,570 at
September 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019, respectively.
Retention receivable is the
amount withheld by a customer until a contract is completed. Retention receivables of $ 615
and $ 159,989 were included in
the balance of trade accounts receivable as of September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

Table of Contents
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.
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 statements 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 September 30, 2020, the cash balance
in excess of the FDIC limits was $ 2,876,202 . 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 18 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
F- 11
Table of Contents
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 for the years
ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $ 0 and $ 0 , 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 September 30, 2020, there are 1,577,013 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and
warrants which have been excluded as anti-dilutive.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated
at cost. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
Useful life
Machinery and equipment
3 - 5
years
Leasehold improvements
Shorter of estimated lease term or 5 years
Furniture and fixtures
3
- 5
years
Long-lived Assets
In
accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounts Standard Codification (ASC) ASC 360-10, "Property,
Plant and Equipment," the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for
the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected
undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess
of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. During the year ended September 30, 2020 the Company did not
record an impairment expense and during the year ended September 30, 2019 the Company recorded an impairment expense of $ 6,915,186
related to software acquired in 2016 which the Company does not anticipate utilizing in future periods.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
The
Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business
Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available,
and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset
valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the
tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
The Company reviews its indefinite
lived intangibles and goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed an assessment
of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill and determined there was no impairment for the years ended September 30, 2020 and
2019.
Software
Development Costs
The Company capitalizes software development costs under guidance
of ASC 985-20 “Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed” for our mPulse platform and under ASC 350-40 “Internal
Use Software” for our mVSO, Canvas & Plaid products. Software development costs include payments made to independent
software developers under development agreements, as well as direct costs incurred for internally developed products. Software
development costs are capitalized once the technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined
to be recoverable. Technological feasibility of a product requires both technical design documentation and infrastructure design
documentation, or the completed and
F- 12
Table of Contents
tested product design and a working
model. Significant management judgments and estimates are utilized in the assessment of when technological feasibility is established,
and the evaluation is performed on a product-by-product basis. For products where proven technology exists, this may occur early
in the development cycle. Prior to a product's release, if and when we believe capitalized
costs are not recoverable, we expense the amounts as part of "Product development."
Capitalized costs for products that are cancelled or are expected to be abandoned are charged to "Product development"
in the period of cancellation. Amounts related to software development, such as product enhancements to existing features, which
are not capitalized are charged immediately to "Product development."
Commencing upon a product's release,
capitalized software development costs are amortized to "Cost of revenues—software amortization " based on the
ratio of current revenues to total projected revenues for the specific product, generally resulting in an amortization period of
seven years for our current product offerings. In recognition of the uncertainties involved in estimating future revenue, amortization
will never be less than straight-line amortization of the products remaining estimated economic life.
We evaluate the future recoverability
of capitalized software development costs on a quarterly basis. For products that have been released in prior periods, the primary
evaluation criterion is the actual performance of the software platform to which the costs relate. For products that are scheduled
to be released in future periods, recoverability is evaluated based on the expected performance of the specific products to which
the costs relate. Criteria used to evaluate expected product performance include: historical performance of comparable products
developed with comparable technology; market performance of comparable software; orders for the product prior to its release; pending
contracts and general market conditions.
Significant management judgments and
estimates are utilized in assessing the recoverability of capitalized costs. In evaluating the recoverability of capitalized costs,
the assessment of expected product performance utilizes forecasted sales amounts and estimates of additional costs to be incurred.
If revised forecasted or actual product sales are less than the originally forecasted amounts utilized in the initial recoverability
analysis, the net realizable value may be lower than originally estimated in any given quarter, which could result in an impairment
charge. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of expenses for any period if matters resolve in a manner that
is inconsistent with management's expectations. If an impairment occurs the reduced amount of the capitalized software costs that
have been written down to the net realizable value at the close of each annual fiscal period will be considered the cost for subsequent
accounting purposes.
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 convertible debt is also stated at fair value since the stated rate of interest approximates market rates.
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.

Income taxes
The Company’s
calculation of its tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in
various taxing jurisdictions. The Company recognizes tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on management’s estimate
of whether it is more likely than not that additional taxes will be required. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of
September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Deferred income taxes are recognized
in the consolidated financial statements for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets
and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Temporary differences
arise from net operating losses, differences in depreciation methods of archived images, and property and equipment, stock-based
and other compensation, and other accrued expenses. A valuation allowance is established when it is determined that it is more
likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The application of tax laws and regulations
is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change
as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the
actual liability for U.S., or the various state jurisdictions, may be materially different from management’s estimates, which
could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities. Interest
and penalties are included in tax expense.
The
Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operation in the provision
for income taxes. As of September 30, 2020, and 2019, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax
positions.
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.
Segment Reporting
Operating
segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly
by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding the method to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company currently has two reportable segments for financial reporting purposes.
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.
F- 14
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 August 2018, the FASB issued ASU
2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value
Measurement. The purpose of the standard is to improve the overall usefulness of fair value disclosures to financial statement
users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing the disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2019 and requires the application of the prospective method of transition (for only the most recent interim
or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption) to the new disclosure requirements for (1) changes in unrealized
gains and losses included in other comprehensive income and (2) the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable
inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also requires prospective application to any modifications to disclosures
made because of the change to the requirements for the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. The effects of all other
amendments made by ASU 2018-13 must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. We are currently in the process of evaluating
the impact of adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
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, 2022. 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 GRIDFABRIC, LLC.
On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Membership Interest
Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with GridFabric, LLC, (“GridFabric”), and its sole member, Dupont
Hale Holdings, LLC (“Seller”), whereby the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership units of
GridFabric from the Seller (the “Transaction”) in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of cash and stock of up
to $ 1,400,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Transaction closed simultaneously with execution on August 31, 2020. As a
result of the Transaction, GridFabric, an OpenADR software solutions provider, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the
Purchase Price was as follows:
a) $ 360,000 in cash was paid to the Seller at closing;
b)
$ 400,000 in cash was delivered to an independent third-party escrow where such cash is subject
to offset for adjustments to the Purchase Price and indemnification purposes for a period of 12 months;
c)
26,427 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $ 250,000 , were
issued to the Seller (the “Shares”). The Shares are subject to certain leak-out provisions whereby the Seller may sell
an amount of Shares equal to no more than 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”); and
d)
additional shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at up to $ 750,000 , will
be issuable to Seller if GridFabric achieves certain revenue and product release milestones related to the future performance
of GridFabric (the “Earn-out Shares”). The Earn-Out Shares are also subject to the Leak-Out Terms.
The Shares were issued at a fair market value of $ 9.46
per share . The Earn-Out Shares are accounted for as contingent consideration and the number of shares to be issued will be
determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date such milestone event occurs.
The Agreement contains standard representations, warranties, covenants,
indemnification and other terms customary in similar transactions.
In connection with the transaction, the Company also entered into
employment relationships and non-compete agreements with GridFabric’s key employees for a period of 36 months and plans to
issue future equity compensation to said employees, subject to approval of the Company’s board of directors.
The Company accounted for the acquisition of GridFabric
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:

On 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
$ 2,125 and $ 0 for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

principal remained outstanding. The Company repaid all principal and outstanding interest on November 4, 2019.
10. CONVERTIBLE NOTES
PAYABLE
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 is secured by all assets of the Company. The
Debenture has a maturity date of two years from the issuance date and the Company has 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- 22
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.
On March 4, March 13, and May 1, 2020
the Company entered into amendments (the “Amendments”) with the Investor.
The Amendments amended the SPA and
Debenture, as follows:
1) A Floor Price of $ 1.50 per share of Common Stock was placed on conversions
by the Investor under the Debenture, with the Floor Price on the First Debenture not applying in the occurrence of an event of
default;
2) Lowered the closing price of the Common Stock which may trigger an
event of default from $ 5.00 per share to $ 1.75 per share for 5 consecutive trading days provided that any event of default will
not be triggered, if at all, until after September 29, 2020;
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.

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 September 30, 2020, the Company's operating lease right of use asset and
operating lease liability totaled $ 40,711 and $ 41,294 , 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 0.4 years at September 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.
The following is a schedule of the
Company's operating lease liabilities by contractual maturity as of September 30, 2020:
Fiscal year ending September 30, 2021
43,170
Total Lease Payments
43,170
Less:

16. INCOME
TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes
under FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. FASB ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting
for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and
tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.
FASB ASC 740 requires the reduction
of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that
some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will
generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation allowance
equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded. The total deferred tax asset is approximately $ 11.0 million as of September
30, 2020 which is calculated by multiplying a 21 % estimated tax rate by the cumulative net operating loss (NOL) of approximately
$ 52.5 million.
Due to the enactment of the Tax Reform
Act of 2017, we have calculated our deferred tax assets using an estimated corporate tax rate of 21 % . US Tax codes and laws may
be subject to further reform or adjustment which may have a material impact to the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The significant components of the
Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:
As of September

As of September 30, 2020, and 2019,

The Company plans to file its U.S.
federal return for the year ended September 30, 2020 upon the issuance of this filing. Upon filing of the tax return for the year
ended September 30, 2020 the actual deferred tax asset and associated valuation allowance available to the Company may differ
from management’s estimates. The tax years 2015-2019 remained open to examination for federal income tax purposes by the
major tax jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. No tax returns are currently under examination by any tax authorities.

Legal contingencies
From time to time we may be subject

Despite the measures taken, such policies may not cover future litigation, or the damages claimed may exceed our coverage which
could result in contingent liabilities.
