(“Financial Gravity” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 5, 2005. Its principal executive offices are located at 800 N. Watters Rd., Suite 150, Allen, Texas 75013. The Company’s telephone number is 800-588-3893. The Company’s stock symbol is FGCO.

Financial Gravity's mission is to synergistically bring together companies that create symbiotic advantages to each other in order to bring a complete financial experience to the clients that we serve. Unless otherwise provided in footnotes, all references from this point forward in this Report to “Financial Gravity,” “we,” “us,” “our company,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to the combined Financial Gravity Companies, Inc. entity, together with its subsidiaries. Business Overview On October 31, 2016, following a reverse merger transaction with Pacific Oil Company, the Articles of Incorporation were amended to change the name of the Company to Financial Gravity Companies, Inc. Sofos Investments, Inc. (formerly Financial Gravity Wealth, Inc.), Financial Gravity Tax, Inc., MPath Advisor Resources, LLC (formerly Financial Gravity Business, LLC), Financial Gravity Ventures, LLC and Tax Master Network, LLC, are Company subsidiaries that deliver a wide range of investment and financial advice, support for financial advisors, tax planning and management services to high net worth individuals and businesses nationwide. On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of stock of Presidential Brokerage, Inc, a California corporation (“Forta”). Subsequent to the entering into the agreement, Forta changed it’s name to Forta Financial Group, Inc. (“Forta”). Upon completion of the acquisition of the Forta stock, Forta will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Forta is a broker-dealer, a registered investment advisor, and a licensed insurance agent. It primarily operates in Colorado. The merger is subject to FINRA approval and will be finalized upon such approval. The following outline briefly describes Financial Gravity’s various subsidiaries and the products and services they offer: Sofos Investments, Inc. (Financial Gravity Wealth, Inc.) (“Sofos”) Sofos is a registered investment advisor (“RIA”), registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and provides asset management services to individuals and businesses, including financial planning, wealth management and money management. Financial Gravity Tax, Inc. Financial Gravity Tax was a tax planning service provider for small companies and individuals. The Tax Operating System, is a system for integrating and executing tax planning strategies. This is offered via subscription for member tax professionals. Financial Gravity Tax had a small bookkeeping and payroll service businesses, but those business lines were either sold or shut down in 2019. The business lines and customers of Financial Gravity Tax was sold in October 2019 and the legal entity isn’t active currently. Tax Master Network, LLC Tax Master Network® provides three primary services including monthly subscriptions to the Tax Master Network systems, coaching and email marketing services. Tax Master Network (“TMN”) currently supports over 300 Certified Public Accountants (“CPA”) and Enrolled Agent professionals, training them to add crucial tax planning services to support clients. TMN has developed the Certified Tax Master® for this group and includes client acquisition and retention systems. TMN also offers tax planning services through the Tax Blueprint®. The process begins with an extensive and comprehensive review of the client’s needs. This assessment sets the requirements for the program that is subsequently developed. The second step is to use the client’s custom Tax Blueprint® to capture the identified tax savings. The Tax Blueprint® is delivered to the client as a guide to implementation of the identified tax savings strategies. 1 MPath Advisor Resources, LLC (formerly Financial Gravity Business, LLC.) (“MPath”) MPath is an insurance marketing organization and provides insurance products and services to insurance agents or agencies. Financial Gravity Ventures, LLC . Financial Gravity Ventures was established to hold acquired companies and business assets until they are integrated into the mainstream Financial Gravity business structure. Sash Corporation dba Metro Data Processing , based in Tulsa, OK was the Company’s first acquisition and Metro Data Processing was based in Tulsa, OK. The client list was sold to ADP in 2018. This entity is now inactive and awaiting dissolution. Fortan Financial Group, Inc. (formerlyh Presidential Brokerage, Inc.) On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Forta, to acquire Forta in exchange for Company stock. The merger is awaiting FINRA approval. When approved, the Forta shareholders will own more than 50% of the Company. Forta is a broker dealer, registered investment advisor and an insurance brokerage, subject to FINRA, SEC and insurance regulation. Organic growth has come in three key areas. • Tax Services and financial advisory services, including Tax Blueprint® and ongoing Tax Operating System® services • Brokerage and Wealth Management Services – and brokerage services after the Forta acquisition and money management services. • Other Products and Services (Insurance and other miscellaneous products and services). All future growth is expected to come from these key areas, organic growth, acquisitions, and strategic alliances. Competition The market is comprised of a very large selection of varied suppliers that provide investment advisory and brokerage, financial advisory, accounting, and tax services. These include accounting firms, tax preparers, estate planners, lawyers, wealth management advisors, banks, and large financial institutions. However, many of these firms are not able to provide the customized services that small business owners are seeking, or simply do not have each of the customized services that Financial Gravity offers to meet the needs of small business owners and high net worth individuals at the price that Financial Gravity offers. Financial Gravity’s service delivery model has been proven to work over the past years. Financial Gravity believes that its superior products, services and overall customer service will enable it to achieve sales and revenue growth. Intellectual Property Financial Gravity maintains copyrights or trademarks on all of its printed marketing materials, the financialgravity.com website and other web pages, and proprietary software. Financial Gravity’s goal is to preserve its trade secrets and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of other parties. To help protect its proprietary know-how, which is not patentable, Financial Gravity currently relies and will in the future rely on trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to protect its interests. To this end, Financial Gravity requires all its employees, consultants, advisors and other contractors to enter into confidentiality agreements that prohibit the disclosure of confidential information and, where applicable, require disclosure and assignment to Financial Gravity of the ideas, developments, discoveries and inventions important to its business. Employees As of September 30, 2019, the Company had approximately 17 full-time employees. None of the Company’s employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company believes that it maintains good relations with its employees. Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company is a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings, claims and other legal matters, arising in the ordinary course of its business or otherwise. It is management’s opinion that there are no legal proceedings the outcome of which will be material to its ability to operate or market its services, its consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows. 2 Government Regulation The services provided by Financial Gravity, through its subsidiaries, are extensively regulated by federal and state authorities in the United States. Financial Gravity believes it is in compliance with federal and state qualification and registration requirements in order that it may continue to provide services to its clients consistent with applicable laws and regulations. Item 1A. RISK FACTORS. The Company’s limited operating history may not serve as an adequate basis to judge its future prospects and results of operations . Financial Gravity has a relatively limited operating history. Its limited operating history and the unpredictability of the wealth management and insurance industries make it difficult for investors to evaluate its business. An investor in its securities must consider the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in rapidly evolving markets. The Company will need additional financing to implement its business plan. The Company will need additional financing to fully implement its business plan in a manner that not only continues to expand an already established direct-to-consumer approach, but also allows the Company to establish a stronger brand name in all the areas in which it operates, and to attract new advisors, insurance professionals and tax service providers. In particular, the Company will need additional financing to: · Effectuate its business plan and further develop its product and service lines; · Expand its facilities, human resources, and infrastructure; and · Increase its marketing efforts and lead generation. There are no assurances that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If additional financing is not available, the Company will need to reduce, defer or cancel development programs, planned initiatives and overhead expenditures. The failure to adequately fund its capital requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the sale of additional equity securities to raise financing will result in additional dilution to the Company’s stockholders and incurring additional indebtedness could involve the imposition of covenants that restrict the Company’s operations. The Company’s products and services are subject to changes in applicable laws and regulations . The Company’s business is particularly subject to changing federal and state laws and regulations related to the provision of financial services to consumers. The Company’s continued success depends in part on its ability to anticipate and respond to these changes, and the Company may not be able to respond in a timely or commercially appropriate manner. If the Company fails to adjust its products and services in response to changing legal and/or regulatory requirements, the ability to deliver its products and services may be hindered, which in turn could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company may continue to encounter substantial competition in its business . The Company believes that existing and new competitors will continue to improve their products and services, as well as introduce new products and services with competitive price and performance characteristics. The Company expects that it must continue to innovate, and to invest in product development and productivity improvements, to compete effectively in the several markets in which the Company participates. The Company’s competitors could develop a more efficient product or service or undertake more aggressive and costly marketing campaigns than those implemented by the Company, which could adversely affect the Company’s marketing strategies and have an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Important factors affecting the Company's current ability to compete successfully include: · lead generation and marketing costs; · service delivery protocols; · branded name advertising; and · product and service pricing. 3 In periods of reduced demand for the Company's products and services, the Company can either choose to maintain market share by reducing product and service pricing to meet the competition, or maintain its product and service pricing, which would likely sacrifice market share. Sales and overall profitability may be reduced in either case. In addition, there can be no assurance that additional competitors will not enter the Company's existing markets, or that the Company will be able to continue to compete successfully against its competition. The Company may not successfully manage its growth . The Company’s success will depend upon the expansion of its operations and the effective management of its growth, which will place a significant strain on its management and on its administrative, operational and financial resources. To manage this growth, it must expand its facilities, augment its operational, financial and management systems, and hire and train additional qualified personnel. If it is unable to manage its growth effectively, its business would be harmed. The Company relies on key executive officers, and their knowledge of its business and technical expertise would be difficult to replace . The Company is highly dependent on its executive officers. If one or more of the Company's senior executives or other key personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, the Company may not be able to replace them easily or at all, and the Company’s business may be disrupted. Competition for senior management personnel is intense, the pool of qualified candidates is very limited, and it may not be able to retain the services of its senior executives or attract and retain high-quality senior executives in the future. Such failure could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company may never pay dividends to its common stockholders . The Company currently intends to retain its future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion; accordingly, the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends on common stock will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, and will depend upon, among other things, earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness and other considerations the Board of Directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid on common stock or, if dividends are paid, the amount thereof. The Company’s common stock is quoted through the OTC Markets, which may have an unfavorable impact on its stock price and liquidity . The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets, which is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. The trading volume may be limited by the fact that many major institutional investment funds, including mutual funds, follow a policy of not investing in OTC Markets stocks and certain major brokerage firms restrict their brokers from recommending OTC Markets stocks because they are considered speculative and volatile. The trading volume of the Company’s common stock has been and may continue to be limited and sporadic. As a result, the quoted price for the Company’s common stock on the OTC Markets may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of its fair market value. Additionally, the securities of small capitalization companies may trade less frequently and in more limited volume than those of more established companies. The market for small capitalization companies is generally volatile, with wide price fluctuations not necessarily related to the operating performance of such companies. The Company’s common stock is subject to price volatility unrelated to its operations . The market price of the Company’s common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of the Company’s ability to achieve its planned growth, operating results of the Company and of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in the Company’s common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting the Company or its competitors. The Company’s common stock is classified as a “penny stock.” Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not available to us. It is likely that the Company’s common stock will be considered to be a penny stock for the immediately foreseeable future. 4 For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the investor, make a reasonable determination that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person, and make a reasonable determination that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also provide disclosure to its customers, prior to executing trades, about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to furnish the necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to buy or sell shares of the Company’s common stock, which may in turn affect the ability of Company stockholders to sell their shares. Accordingly, the penny stock classification adversely affects any market liquidity for the Company’s common stock and subjects the shares to certain risks associated with trading in penny stocks. These risks include difficulty for investors in purchasing or disposing of shares, difficulty in obtaining accurate bid and ask quotations, difficulty in establishing the market value of the shares, and a lack of securities analyst coverage. The Company’s common stock is subject to dilution. Company’s plan for increasing revenue is to recruit advisors and other professionals. Some of these recruits may be granted stock options or stock rights. These shares are among the shares reserved in Company’s stock option plan (see compensation plans discussion). Item 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS. None. Item 2. PROPERTIES. The Company’s corporate offices are located at 800 N. Watters Rd. Suite 150, Allen, TX 75013. Tax Master Network’s offices are located at 3825 Edwards Rd., Suite 103, Cincinnati, OH 45209. Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. From time to time, the Company is a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings, claims and other legal matters, arising in the ordinary course of its business or otherwise. It is management’s opinion that there are no legal proceedings the outcome of which will be material to its ability to operate or market its services, its consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information. Item 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES. Not applicable. 5 PART II Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASE OF EQUITY SECURITIES. Market Information The Company’s Common Stock is currently traded in the over-the-counter market and quoted under the symbol FGCO. The following are the high and low sales prices for the Company’s Common Stock for the periods reflected below: Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2018 High Low First Quarter $ 1.50 $ 0.04 Second Quarter $ 0.50 $ 0.06 Third Quarter $ 0.33 $ 0.05 Fourth Quarter $ 0.10 $ 0.05 Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2019 High Low First Quarter $ 0.10 $ 0.07 Second Quarter $ 0.54 $ 0.08 Third Quarter $ 0.40 $ 0.17 Fourth Quarter $ 0.51 $ 0.18 The above prices reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions and may not represent actual transactions. Holders The approximate number of stockholders of record of the Company’s Common Stock on September 30, 2019 was 74. Dividends The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock, and it is anticipated that none will be paid in the foreseeable future. Recent Sales/Issuance of Unregistered Securities On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Forta, to acquire Forta in exchange for Company stock. The merger is awaiting FINRA approval. When approved, the Forta shareholders will own more than 50% of the Company. John Pollock will remain the largest individual shareholder. During the year ended September 30, 2018 an aggregate of 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been sold for $100,000. During the year ended September 30, 2019 the Company issued 5,598,133 shares of common stock in exchange for $1,007,664 in promissory notes. The sales of the securities identified above were made pursuant to privately negotiated transactions that did not involve a public offering of securities and, accordingly, the Company believes that these transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. Each investor represented that such investor either (A) is an “accredited investor,” (B) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of acquiring the shares of the Company’s common stock, or (C) appointed an appropriate person to act as the investor’s purchaser representative in connection with evaluating the merits and risks of acquiring the shares of the Company’s common stock. The investors received written disclosures that the securities had not been registered under the Securities Act and that any resale must be made pursuant to a registration or an available exemption from such registration. All of the foregoing securities are deemed restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act. 6 The Company’s option grants were effected pursuant to Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act. Repurchases of Equity Securities The Company did not repurchase any of its equity securities during the years ended September 30, 2019 or 2018. Item 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA. Not applicable. Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Forward-Looking Statements The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help you understand its historical results of operations during the periods presented and its financial condition. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with its financial statements and the accompanying notes and contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and assumptions that could cause its actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations. See the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” above. Plan of Operations Financial Gravity is a parent company of best of breed financial services companies including brokerage, wealth management, estate planning, family office services, risk management, business and personal tax planning, business consulting, and financial advisor services. Financial Gravity's mission is to synergistically bring together companies that create symbiotic advantages to each other in order to bring a complete financial experience to the clients that we serve. Financial Gravity’s Subsidiaries: Financial Gravity Holdings, Inc. Dissolved February 13, 2019. Financial Gravity Operations, Inc . Dissolved February 12, 2019. Sofos, Inc. (formerly Financial Gravity Wealth, Inc.) After saving thousands in taxes, clients are happy to trust us with the management of their wealth, especially when treated to a different wealth management experience. Sofos is a Registered Investment Advisory firm. An RIA is an advisor or firm engaged in financial planning and wealth management business and is registered either with the Securities and Exchange Commission “SEC” or state securities authorities. An RIA has a fiduciary duty to his or her clients, which means that he or she has a fundamental obligation to provide suitable investment advice and always act in the clients’ best interests. The Department of Labor’s fiduciary rule is officially dead. The fiduciary rule, also known officially as the “Conflict of Interest” rule, stated advisers have to give conflict-free advice on retirement accounts, putting their clients’ needs ahead of their own potential compensation. 7 Although the Department of Labor’s Fiduciary Rule was struck down by the Fifth Circuit Court, we will still maintain the fiduciary standard as a company, because we think it is best for the client. Only 5% of all financial planners are RIAs. The advantage of the RIA model is lower cost to the client. Also, since RIAs are not compensated by commissions on financial products, their advice is considered less biased and more accurate. Coupled with tax savings, its status as a RIA makes the Company very attractive to the most profitable clients. MPath Advisor Resources, LLC (formerly Financial Gravity Business, LLC) (“MPath”) MPath is an insurance marketing organization and provides insurance products and services to insurance agents or agencies. Financial Gravity Ventures, LLC This entity in the Company’s corporate family employs its merger strategy to acquire talent and build wealth for Financial Gravity Companies, Inc. and acquired companies. As mentioned earlier, Financial Gravity is pursuing several acquisition opportunities. Tax Master Network, LLC Tax Master Network “TMN” was a key acquisition in fiscal year 2016. TMN supports over 300 CPA and Enrolled Agent professionals, training them to add crucial tax planning services to support clients. Not only did this acquisition bring high-end tax planning to Financial Gravity, but the TMN customer base adds significant business development opportunities for Financial Gravity Wealth. The Company developed the Certified Tax Master® for this group and rolled out new client systems in mid-2016. TMN also provides tax services through its “Tax Blueprint®” system which identifies several strategies for lowering the client's taxes. Financial Gravity Tax, Inc. has no current operations. It sold its bookkeeping and tax preparation business October 31, 2019, and all other operations are consolidated into TMN. Sash Corporation dba Metro Data Processing Sash Corporation dba Metro Data Processing, based in Tulsa, OK was the Company’s first acquisition and Metro Data Processing is based in Tulsa, OK. The client list was sold to ADP in 2018. This entity is now inactive and awaiting dissolution. Results of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2019 compared to the year ended September 30, 2018 Revenues For the year ended September 30, 2019, revenue increased $188,055 to $4,075,048 from $3,886,993 for the year ended September 30, 2018. The principal drivers for this are an increase in insurance sales commission of $300,773, offset by a decrease in Tax BluePrint sales of $179,800. Operating Expenses Professional services expenses include consulting fees, legal expense, professional fees, and business consulting. Professional services expenses decreased $683,437 to $141,835 for the year ended September 30, 2019 from $827,272 for the year ended September 30, 2018. Professional and consulting expenses decreased by $521,502 in 2019 compared to 2018. 8 Depreciation and amortization expenses include depreciation on fixed assets and amortization of definite lived intangibles. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $75,948 to $189,070 for the year ended September 30, 2019 from $113,122 for the year ended September 30, 2018. The increase is primarily due to a one-time charge, in 2019, to amortization related to the impairment of a Trade Name, in the amount of $69,300. General and administrative expenses decreased $214,092 to $533,805 for the year ended September 30, 2019 from $747,897 for the year ended September 30, 2018.

Marketing expenses decreased $135,401 to $131,529 for the year ended September 30, 2019 from $266,930 for the year ended September 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to consolidating outside vendors used and bringing marketing efforts in-house. Salaries and wages expenses increased $242,248 to $3,501,744 for the year ended September 30, 2019 from $3,259,446 for the year ended September 30, 2018. The increase is primarily due to an increase in stock option expense of $158,331, and an overall increase in commissions of $149,817. The Company experienced a decrease in net loss of $897,147 to a net loss of $623,485 for the year ended September 30, 2019 from a net loss of $1,520,632 for the year ended September 30, 2018, primarily attributable to the reasons noted above. Significant Accounting Policies Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These policies are contained in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Use of Estimates and Assumptions. 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable. Investment management fees are recognized as services are provided by the Company. Investment management fees include fees earned from assets under management by providing professional services to manage clients’ investments. Revenues are recognized in the period earned. Services income is recognized as consulting and other professional services are performed by the Company. Income is recognized as services are delivered. Commission revenue is derived from the sale of premiums on life insurance policies held by third parties. The revenue is recognized as received from the insurer, issuer. Revenue represents gross billings less discounts, net of sales tax, as applicable. Amounts invoiced for work not yet completed are shown as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Tax Master Network has 3 types of services that are charged and collected on a month to month subscription basis (Tax Master Network basic membership, All-Stars coaching, and Wire Service weekly broadcast email). None of these programs come with a long-term commitment or contract, and there is no up-front payment beyond the monthly subscription fee. Cancellations are processed within the month requested and memberships are closed at the end of the period for which the most recent payment was made. Members are not entitled to refunds for unused memberships. 9 Trade accounts receivable are carried only for subscription revenues not received in the period they apply to. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $21,876 as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit on an unsecured basis to its customers, substantially all of whom are located in the United States of America. The Company does not believe that it is exposed to any significant risk of loss on accounts receivable. Stock-Based Compensation. The Company recognizes the fair value of the stock-based compensation awards as wages in the accompanying statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on a risk-free rate of 1.50% to 2.89% in 2019 and 1.49% to 2.55% in 2018, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 10 years and volatility of 25.32% to 34.05%. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of September 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $36,053. The increase of $3,833 in cash and cash equivalents from September 30, 2018 was due to net cash provided by operating activities of $89,640, net cash used in investing activities of $43,582, and net cash used in financing actives of $42,225. Net cash provided by operating activities was $89,640 for the year ended September 30, 2019, compared to $1,097,020 net cash used in operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2018. The net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2019 was due to net loss of $623,485, adjusted primarily by the following: increases in depreciation and amortization of $75,948, stock based compensation of $364,814, stock options issued in exchange for services and in Trade accounts receivable, $131,470. The Net operating loss was also adjusted for decreases in accounts payable – trade of $127,997, decrease in accounts receivable related party, $1,791, decreases in prepaid expenses, $13,647, decreases in accrued expenses, $75,283, and increases in deferred revenue, $33,333. Net cash used in investing activities was $43,582 for the year ended September 30, 2019, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $60,639 for the year ended September 30, 2018. The Company purchased more equipment and trademarks during the year ended September 30, 2018. Net cash used in financing activities was $42,225 for the year ended September 30, 2019, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $745,459 for the year ended September 30, 2018. Financing activities for the year ended September 30, 2019 consisted primarily of borrowings from Notes payable of $202,205 and payments on notes payable of $248,703. As shown below, at September 30, 2019, its contractual cash obligations totaled approximately $560,786 all of which consisted of operating lease obligations and debt principal. Payments due by period Contractual obligations Less than 1 year 1-3 years 4-5 years Total Notes payable $ 13,393 $ 23,534 $ – $ 36,927 Operating leases 123,144 304,212 32,584 459,940 Line of Credit 63,919 – – 63,919 Total contractual cash obligations $ 200,456 $ 327,746 $ 32,584 $ 560,786 10 The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the Company will need additional financing to fund additional material capital expenditures and to fully implement its business plan. There are no assurances that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If additional financing is not available, the Company will need to reduce, defer or cancel development programs, planned initiatives and overhead expenditures as a way to supplement the cash flows generated by operations. The Company has a backlog of fees under contract in addition to the Company’s accounts receivable balance. The failure to adequately fund its capital requirements could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the sale of additional equity securities to raise financing will result in additional dilution to the Company’s stockholders and incurring additional indebtedness could involve the imposition of covenants that restrict its operations. Management, in the normal course of business, is trying to raise additional capital through sales of common stock as well as seeking financing from third parties, via both debt and equity, to balance the Company’s cash requirements and to finance specific capital projects. Off Balance Sheet Transactions and Related Matters Other than operating leases discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, there are no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have, or may have, a material effect on financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources of the Company. Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. Interest Rate Risk. The Company’s business is leveraged and, accordingly, is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Any significant increase in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and ability to continue as a going concern. Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA. The financial statements required by this item are included in this report in Part IV, Item 15. Item 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. None. Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on its evaluation, management concluded as of September 30, 2019 that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly represent in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 11 Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2019. In making this assessment, its management used the criteria based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2019, its internal control over financial reporting was not effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer reviewed the results of their assessment with its board of directors. Based on its evaluation under this framework, management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the evaluation date due to the factors stated below. · Insufficient Resources : The Company has inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting to be able to have appropriately designed and operating entity level controls including risk assessment; information and communication; monitoring; and financial reporting. · Inadequate Segregation of Duties: The Company has inadequate number of personnel to properly segregate duties to implement control procedures. This annual report does not include an attestation report of its Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report. Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting During the period covered by this report, the following change was made in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting: · The Company has implemented a robust check disbursement policy that includes the following key control points: first, the controller who handles check disbursements is not an authorized signer on any bank account and cannot sign checks; second, any disbursement amount less than $5,000.00 requires written approval from one (1) member of the leadership team; third, any disbursement amount of more than $5,000.00 and equal to or less than $24,999.99 requires written approval of two (2) members of the leadership team; fourth, any disbursement amount of $25,000.00 or more requires approval by the Board of Directors; and fifth, all disbursements are reviewed and approved by the Chief Operating Officer. As an additional control, all disbursement checks are signed by the CEO when available, and if the CEO is unable to sign, disbursement checks are signed by a member of the leadership team. All disbursements are controlled through a formal check disbursement process that includes an official check disbursement request form. This form is reviewed and signed by the appropriate parties as referenced above. The leadership team currently comprises the following members: The Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Tax Strategist, the Chief Sales Officer, and the Director of Operations. 12 Item 9B.

For purposes of determining whether members of the Company’s Board of Directors are “independent,” the Company’s Board utilizes the standards set forth in the NASDAQ Stock Market Marketplace Rules. At present, the Company’s entire Board serves as its Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees. The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that, of the Company’s present directors, each of Gary Nemer, David Myers, Michael Ashby, and Todd Bourgeois, constituting four of the eight members of the Board, is an “independent director,” as defined under NASDAQ’s Marketplace Rules, for purposes of qualifying as independent members of the Board and an Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committee of the Board, but that Scott Winters, John Pollock, Paul Williams and Edward A. Lyon are not “independent directors” since they currently serve as executive officers of the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors is of the view that the current leadership structure is suitable for the Company at its present stage of development, and that the interests of the Company are best served by the combination of the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. As a matter of regular practice, and as part of its oversight function, the Company’s Board of Directors undertakes a review of the significant risks in respect of the Company’s business. Such review is conducted in concert with outside professionals (including legal counsel) with expertise in substantive areas germane to the Company’s business. With the Company’s current governance structure, the Company’s Board of Directors and senior executives are, by and large, the same individuals, and consequently, there is not a significant division of oversight and operational responsibilities in managing the material risks facing the Company.

Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Financial Gravity Companies, Inc. (the “Company”), as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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. Emphasis of Matter The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’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. We have served as the Company's auditor since 2016. /s/ Whitley Penn LLP Dallas, Texas January 13, 2020 F- 2 Financial Gravity Companies, Inc. and Subsidiaries CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS As of September 30, 2019 2018 ASSETS CURRENT ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents $ 36,053 $ 32,220 Trade accounts receivable, net 147,377 15,907 Accounts receivable - related party – 1,791 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 12,010 25,657 Total current assets 195,440 75,575 OTHER ASSETS Property and equipment, net 139,991 138,286 Customer relationships, net – 11,225 Proprietary content, net 262,550 328,188 Trade name – 69,300 Non-compete agreements, net 5,260 10,520 Intellectual Property 53,170 48,940 Goodwill 1,094,702 1,094,702 TOTAL ASSETS $ 1,751,113 $ 1,776,736 LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY CURRENT LIABILITIES Accounts payable - trade $ 174,749 $ 105,435 Accrued expenses 146,872 132,989 Deferred revenue 94,733 – Line of credit 63,919 59,646 Notes payable 13,393 356,173 Total current liabilities 493,666 654,243 NOTES PAYABLE 23,534 676,233 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Common stock, $0.001 par value; 300,000,000 shares authorized; 41,436,033 shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and 35,837,900 shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2018 41,436 35,838 Additional paid-in capital 7,391,592 5,986,052 Accumulated deficit (6,199,115 ) (5,575,630 ) Total stockholders’ equity 1,233,913 446,260 TOTAL LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY $ 1,751,113 $ 1,776,736 The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of the significant accounting polices consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) is as follows. Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Financial Gravity Companies, FGW, FGT, and TMN , (collectively referred to as the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. F- 7 Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions located throughout the United States, which at times may exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are carried at the invoiced amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts based on management’s review of outstanding balances. The collectability of the Company’s accounts receivable is reviewed on an ongoing basis, using historical payment trends and a review of specific accounts. Accounts receivable are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and when management determines the amounts to be uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $21,876 as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In the normal course of business, the Company may extend credit to its customers, on an unsecured basis, substantially all of whom are located in the United States of America. The Company does not believe that they are exposed to any significant risk of loss on accounts receivable. Prepaid Expenses Prepaid expenses consist of expenses the Company has paid for prior to the service or good being provided. These prepaid expenses will be recorded as expense at the time the service has been provided. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to earnings over their estimated service lives by the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; major repairs and replacements are capitalized. When items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations. Property and equipment operated under material leases which transfer substantially all benefits and risks associated with the assets to the Company are capitalized. An asset and liability equal to the present or fair value, if appropriate, of minimum payments over the term of the leases are recorded. Amortization of the asset is computed using the straight-line method. Expenses associated with all other leases (operating leases) are charged to expense as incurred. Customer Relationships The customer relationships acquired from the TMN purchase have been recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at $44,900, the value attributed to it on the date of the purchase. The customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a four- year estimated life. During the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded amortization expense of $11,225 on this intangible asset, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accumulated amortization at September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $44,900, and $33,675 respectively. This has been fully amortized as of September 30, 2019. Proprietary Content The proprietary content acquired as a part of the TMN purchase has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at $525,100, the value attributed to it on the date of the purchase. The proprietary content is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an eight- year estimated life. During the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded amortization expense of $65,638 on this intangible asset, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accumulated amortization at September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $262,550 and $196,912, respectively. F- 8 Future amortization of proprietary content is estimated to be as follows for the years ended September 30: 2020 $ 65,638 2021 65,638 2022 65,638 2023 65,636 $ 262,550 Trade Name The trade name acquired as a part of the TMN purchase has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at $69,300, the value attributed to it on the date of the purchase. Management has determined that the trade name had no future value and considers the value of the trade name recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet to be impaired as of September 30, 2019. Accordingly, this asset was fully written off in 2019. Non-compete Agreements Non-compete agreements established as a part of the TMN purchase have been recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at $26,300, the value attributed to them on the date of the purchase. The non-compete agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the five-year term of the non-compete clause of the agreement. During the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded amortization expense of $5,260 on this intangible asset, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accumulated amortization at September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $21,040 and $15,780, respectively. Future amortization of the non-compete agreements is estimated to be as follows for the years ended September 30: 2020 $ 5,260 Intellectual Property The Company accounts for intellectual property in accordance with GAAP and accordingly, intellectual property are stated at cost. Intellectual property with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually. Management has determined that the intellectual property have an indefinite life and do not consider the value of intellectual property recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet to be impaired as of September 30, 2019 and 2018. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the value of the purchase price and related costs over the identifiable assets from business acquisitions. The Company conducts an annual impairment assessment, at the reporting unit level, of its recorded goodwill. The Company assesses qualitative factors in order to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than it is carrying amount. The qualitative factors evaluated by the Company include: macro-economic conditions of the local business environment, overall financial performance, and other entity specific factors as deemed appropriate. If, through this qualitative assessment, the conclusion is made that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than it is carrying amount, a two-step impairment test is performed. Management determined, by assessing the qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than it carries value. Management does not consider the value of goodwill recorded for TMN in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets to be impaired as of September 30, 2019, and 2018. Goodwill consists of the following: Goodwill at September 30, 2018 $ 1,094,702 Goodwill at September 30, 2019 $ 1,094,702 F- 9 Income Taxes The Company accounts for Federal and state income taxes pursuant to GAAP, which requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes based on tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company accounts for all uncertain tax positions in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 – Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties and disclosure related to uncertain income tax positions. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. There was no accrued interest or penalties as of September 30, 2019 and 2018. From time to time, the Company is audited by taxing authorities. These audits could result in proposed assessments of additional taxes. The Company believes that its tax positions comply in all material respects with applicable tax law. However, tax law is subject to interpretation, and interpretations by taxing authorities could be different from those of the Company, which could result in the imposition of additional taxes. The Company’s Federal returns since 2016 are still subject for examination by taxing authorities. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Average number of common shares were 37,825,239 and 35,830,228 for years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, approximately 2,788,476 and 3,361,538 common stock options, respectively, and 25,000 and 200,000 warrants, respectively, were not added to the diluted average shares because inclusion of such shares would be antidilutive. Revenue Recognition The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers October 1, 2018 on a modified basis. As the initial adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations, no cumulative effect was recognized at the date of initial application. The Company also had no significant changes to systems, processes, or controls. The Company derives its revenues primarily from six components: Investment Management Fees, Tax Master Network subscriptions, Tax Operating System subscriptions, Financial Advisor subscriptions, Tax BluePrint sales, and Insurance Sales. FG Wealth generates investment management fees for services provided by the Company. Investment management fees include fees earned from assets under management by providing professional services to manage client investments. Revenue is recognized as earned, at the end of each period. FG Tax generates service income from its consulting and other professional services performed. Revenue recognized as service is provided. Commission revenue is derived from the sale of annuities and premiums on life insurance policies held by third parties. The revenue is recognized when commissions are received from insurers and issuers of the products. Revenue represents gross billings less discounts, and are net of sales taxes, as applicable. Amounts invoiced for work not yet completed are shown as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Tax Master Network has five levels of services that are charged and collected on a month to month subscription basis. None of these programs come with a long-term commitment or contract, and there is no up-front payment beyond the monthly subscription fee. Cancellations are processed within the month requested and memberships are closed at the end of the period for which the most recent payment was made. Members are not entitled to refunds for unused memberships. Any subscription fees paid for a future period are deferred in the financial statements. TMN also sells Tax Blueprint®. These are tax planning strategies guides, to save customers taxes through the implementation of the recommended tax strategies. After an initial assessment, the customers pay half of the year one tax savings. Revenue is deferred until the customer reviews and accepts the final Tax Blueprint® document and returns an executed delivery agreement. F- 10 Advertising Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising and marketing expense were $131,529 and $266,930 for the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes the fair value of the stock-based compensation awards as wages in the accompanying statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on a risk-free rate of 1.50% to 2.89% in 2019 and 1.49% to 2.55% in 2018, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 10 years and volatility of 25.32% to 34.05%. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the Company will need to manage additional asset units under contract and/or additional financing to fully implement its business plan, including continued growth and establishment of a stronger brand. On May 23, 2017, the Company and GHS Investments, LLC (“GHS Investments”) entered into an Equity Financing Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement was filed as an exhibit to a registration statement on Form S-1, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 18, 2017. The agreement was approved by the SEC November 13, 2018. The Agreement contemplates a series of transactions, pursuant to which the Company will “put” shares of its common stock to GHS in consideration of the payment to the Company of eighty percent (80%) of the “Market Price” of such shares. “Market Price” shall mean the average of the two lowest trading prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days preceding the receipt of the applicable put notice. Accordingly, on each instance the Company exercises a put option, the Company will know in advance, both the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the put option, and the dollar amount of the purchase price for such shares. The maximum purchase price for shares to be purchased by GHS Investments under the Agreement is $11,000,000. To facilitate the sale of the shares so purchased by GHS Investments, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with GHS Investments, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws. The Agreement will terminate (i) when GHS Investments has purchased an aggregate of $11,000,000 of the common stock of the Company, or (ii) 36 months after the effective date of the Agreement, or (iii) at such time that the registration statement is no longer in effect. Additionally, the Company is also actively seeking growth of its service offerings, both organically and via new client relationships. Management, in the ordinary course of business, is trying to raise additional capital through sales of common stock as well as seeking financing via equity or debt, or both from third parties. There are no assurances that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If additional financing is not available, the Company will need to reduce, defer or cancel development programs, planned initiatives and overhead expenditures. The failure to adequately fund its capital requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the sale of additional equity securities to raise financing will result in additional dilution to the Company’s stockholders and incurring additional indebtedness could involve an increased debt service cash obligation, the imposition of covenants that restrict the Company’s operations or the Company’s ability to perform on its current debt service requirements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. F- 11 Future Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which amends how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income, which applies to trade accounts receivable and the calculation of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. The new standard will become effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements. Since the Company currently uses an expected losses from customers method, the Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which provides guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the Step 2 procedure from the goodwill impairment test. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning with the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU Update No. 2018-02 Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP - which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet - the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. ASU 2018-02 is effective for the years beginning after December 31, 2019 and for all periods presented. Early application of the amendments in this ASU is permitted. The Company does not expect any significant financial impact to the financial statements upon adoption of this standard. In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU Update No. 2018-07, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323). The amendments in this Update eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. ASU 2018-07 is effective for the years beginning after December 31, 2018. Early application of the amendments in this ASU is permitted. The Company does not expect any significant financial impact to the financial statements upon adoption of this standard. In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU Update No. 2018-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The amendments in this Update are to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2018-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company has yet to do a full analysis on the impact this will have but will do during the next fiscal year. The Company does not expect any significant financial impact to the financial statements upon adoption of this standard. 2.

INCOME TAXES The Company elected C Corporation tax status from inception. Net operating losses (“NOL”) since that date total $5,624,574 as of September 30, 2019 and may be carried forward to offset future taxable income; accordingly, no current provision for income tax has been recorded in the accompanying statements of operations. NOL carry-forward benefits begin to expire in 2035. The following table summarizes the difference between the actual tax provision and the amounts obtained by applying the statutory tax rates to the income or loss before income taxes for the years ended September 30: 2019 2018 Tax benefit calculated at statutory rate 21.00% 24.25% Expense not deductible (1.83% ) (0.16% ) State tax, net of federal benefit – (0.45% ) Effect of rate change – (26.99% ) Changes to valuation allowance (19.17% ) 3.35% Provision for income taxes –% –% A deferred tax liability or asset is determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense or benefit in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations are the result of changes in the assets and liabilities for deferred taxes. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount for any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the current tax payable or refundable for the year plus or minus the net change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes of the Company arise from the temporary differences between financial statement and income tax recognition of NOL carry-forwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include the following components at September 30: 2019 2018 Net non-current deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carry-forward $ 1,181,160 $ 1,098,314 Property and equipment 6,921 3,456 1,188,081 1,101,770 Net non-current deferred tax liabilities: Intangible assets 10,319 7,996 Net 1,177,762 1,093,774 Less valuation allowance (1,177,762 ) (1,093,774 ) Net deferred taxes $ – $ – F- 15 The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), which was enacted December 22, 2018, reduced the corporate income tax rate effective December 1, 2019 from 35% to 21%. Among the other significant tax law changes that potentially affect the Company are the limitations on the deduction for interest incurred in 2019 or later of up to 70% of its taxable income for the carryforward year and the limitation of the utilization of post 2018 net operating loss carryforwards. The Company does not anticipate material changes to its income tax provision as a result of the passage of the Tax Act until pretax law change net operating losses are fully utilized or expire in 2026. The Company has remeasured certain deferred federal tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%. The deferred tax assets of the Company were reduced by $408,041 as a result of this remeasurement. This change was fully offset by the corresponding change in the valuation allowance. The Company is still analyzing certain aspects of the Tax Act, and refining its calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of those balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts. The Company’s estimates may also be affected in the future as the Company gains a more thorough understanding of the Tax Act, and how the individual states are implementing this new law. 8. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND CONCENTRATIONS Leases The Company conducts operations from leased premises leased through 2024. Some of these leases provide for payment of taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance. The Company also leases certain equipment under operating leases. Total rent expense for the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $135,041 and $118,126, respectively. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The difference between rental expense and rental payments is recorded as deferred rent within accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Management expects that in the normal course of business, leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases. Minimum future annual rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases having original terms in excess of one year are as follows: 2020 $ 123,144 2021 110,444 2022 96,016 2023 97,752 Thereafter 32,584 $ 459,940 Legal Proceedings From time to time, we are a party to or are otherwise involved in legal proceedings, claims and other legal matters, arising in the ordinary course of our business or otherwise. Management does not believe that there are any current, material legal proceedings ongoing at this time. 9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Common Stock The Company is authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Preferred Stock The Company does not have a preferred stock authorization in its articles of incorporation. Financial Gravity Holdings, a subsidiary of the Company, has authorized the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, by action of the Board of Directors. The preferred stock authorization has not been formalized via the filing of an amendment to the certificate of formation of Financial Gravity Holdings. The rights and obligations of the preferred stock are as determined by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance. Financial Gravity Holdings was dissolved February 13, 2019. F- 16 For each of the Company and Financial Gravity Holdings, its subsidiary, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and 2018. Warrants In the three months ended December 31, 2017, an aggregate of 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock had been sold for $100,000 for which the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 25,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.25 per share for a 1 year term and an additional 25,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.50 for a 2-year term. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. ASC 815 requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company’s own stock to be designated as an equity instrument, assets or liability. Under the provisions of ASC 815, a contract designated as an asset, or liability must be initially recorded and carried at fair value until the contract meets the requirements for classification as equity, until the contract is exercised or until the contract expires. However, the Company determined that these warrants should be accounted for as equity and as such no determination of fair value was necessary. Additional Common Stock Issuances During the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 0 and 100,000 shares were issued, for $0 and $100,000 respectively. 10. STOCK OPTION PLAN Effective February 27, 2015, the Company established the 2015 Stock Option Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The Board of Directors of the Company has the authority and discretion to grant stock options. The maximum number of shares of stock that may be issued and exercised under the Plan is 9,000,000. Eligible individuals include any employee of the Company or any director, consultant, or other person providing services to the Company.
