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-19 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.
Our accounting policy on revenue recognition by type of revenue
is provided below.
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.
The
Company recognizes energy (solar panel and battery) installation contract
revenue for residential customers at a point in time
upon completion of the installation. The revenues associated with energy installations for commer cial
customers are recognized over a period of time as noted in the engineering and construction contract revenue disclosure above.
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.
F- 7
Table of Contents
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). 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 $ 0 and $ 4,103 as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, 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 March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, have been deducted from contract assets. Contract liabilities represent
amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized to date. The Company recorded $ 551,977 and $ 64,198 in contract liabilities
as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

Revenues
from software
The Company derives its software revenue
from both subscription fees from customers for access to its (i) energy software offerings and software license sales and (ii)
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 revenue as each deliverable is signed off by the customer.
Revenues from data center services
The Company provides data services
such as providing its customers with rack space, power and equipment, and cloud services such as virtual services, virtual storage,
and data backup services, generally based on monthly services provided at a defined price included in the contracts. The performance
obligations are the services provided to a customer for the month based on the contract. The transaction price is the price agreed
with the customer for the monthly services provided and the revenues are recognized monthly based on the services rendered for
the month.
Revenues from digital currency
mining
The Company has entered into a digital asset
mining pool to provide computing power to the mining pool. Providing computing power is the only performance obligation in
the Company’s contracts with pool operators. When the Company successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an
algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. The
transaction consideration the Company receives is noncash consideration, in the form of digital currency, which the Company measures
at fair value on the date received. The consideration is dependent on the number of digital assets mined on any given day.
Fair value of the digital currency award received is determined using the spot price of the related digital currency at the time
of receipt.
There is currently no specific definitive guidance
under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for digital currencies recognized as revenue or held, and management
has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is
enacted by the FASB, the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s consolidated
financial position and results from operations.
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
F- 9
Table of Contents
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.
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 six months ended March 31, 2021 and
2020, the Company reported revenues of $ 10,377,258 and $ 4,635,107 , 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 $ 157,274,542 and $ 3,126,202 in cash and cash equivalents as of March
31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Digital Currency
Digital currencies are included in current
assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Digital currencies are recorded at cost less impairment. Digital currencies held are
accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized
but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more
likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value,
which is measured using the quoted price of the digital currency at the time its fair value is being measured. In testing for impairment,
the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment
exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not
necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment
loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.
Digital currencies awarded to the Company through
its mining activities are included within operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. The sales
of digital currencies are included within investing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows and any
realized gains or losses from such sales are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. The
Company accounts for its gains or losses in accordance with the first in first out (FIFO) method of accounting.

Accounts receivable
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 $ 693,508 and $ 42,970 at March 31, 2021,
and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Retention receivable is the amount withheld
by a customer until a contract is completed. Retention receivables of $ 0 and $ 615 were included in the balance of trade accounts
receivable as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost
or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. For solar panel and battery installations, the Company transfers component
parts from inventories to cost of goods sold once installation is complete. The Company periodically reviews inventories for unusable
and obsolete items based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Based on this evaluation, provisions are made
to write inventories down to their net realizable value.
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. However, as described in Note 1, the Company primarily operates in the alternative
energy sector and in the digital currency mining sector, and thus, it is not in the business of investing in 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 March 31, 2021, the cash balance in excess of the
FDIC limits was $ 157,024,542 . 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 15 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 March 31, 2021 and September
30, 2020, 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 March 31, 2021, there are 1,522,604 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants,
the dilutive effect of which is computed using the treasury stock method.
The following table sets forth the computation

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
F- 12
Table of Contents
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 flow 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. For the six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did
not record an impairment expense.
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 six months ended March 31, 2021 and
2020.
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 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.

Table of Contents
Fair value of financial instruments and
derivative asset
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable
and accrued expenses, and debt (See Note 8) 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.
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 March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively:

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified
for consistency with the current period 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
three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
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. 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 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. 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. The new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.
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.

4. INVESTMENT IN INTERNATIONAL LAND ALLIANCE
International Land Alliance, Inc.
On November 5, 2019, the Company 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.
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 Company also received 350,000 shares (“commitment shares”) of ILAL’s common stock. The Preferred
Stock will accrue cumulative in-kind accruals at a rate of 12% per annum and may increase upon the occurrence of certain events. The
Preferred is now convertible into common stock at a variable rate as calculated under the agreement terms.
The commitment shares are recorded at fair
value as of March 31, 2021 of $ 729,500 .
The Preferred Stock is recorded as an AFS debt
security and is reported at its estimated fair value as of March 31, 2021. The Company identified a derivative instrument in accordance
with ASC Topic No. 815 due to the variable conversion feature. Topic No. 815 requires the Company to account for the conversion

9. LEASES
Effective October 1, 2019, the Company
accounts for its leases under ASC 842, 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, corporate headquarters, and data center, one of which is with a related party. As of March
31, 2021, the Company's operating lease right of use asset and operating lease liability totaled $ 713,158 and $ 713,023 ,
respectively. A weighted average discount rate of 10 % was used in the measurement of the right of use asset and lease
liability. 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 operating leases have
remaining lease terms between one year to two years , with a weighted average lease term of 1.15 years
at March 31, 2021. 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 March 31, 2021. These operating leases also have a weighted average discount
rate of 10 % at March 31, 2021.
The following is a schedule of the
Company's operating lease liabilities by contractual maturity as of March 31, 2021:
Fiscal year ending September 30, 2021 (six months remaining)

administrative expense.
