1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting
polices consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements 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 its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
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.
Receivables
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 as of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, 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 it is 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.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02
Leases, which changed financial reporting as it relates to leasing transactions to recognize a lease liability, measured on a discounted
basis; and a right-of-use asset, for the lease term. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10 Codification Improvements to
Topic 842, Leases and ASU No. 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-1
Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. The Company adopted these ASUs on October 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis.
The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient and did elect the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior
conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs for all leases. The initial adoption
of the standard recognized right-of-use assets of $323,097 and lease liabilities of $337,454 on the Company’s statement of
financial position with no impact on the Company's results of operations. The Company had no significant changes to processes
or controls.
The Company leases
all their office space through an operating lease, which expires at January 31, 2024. Many of the lease agreements obligate the
Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance and certain maintenance costs, which are accounted for separately. The Company’s
lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company determines
if an arrangement is an operating lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the
balance sheet. All other leases are recorded on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the lease term.
Lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease
term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The present value of
lease payments is determined primarily using the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement
date. The Company’s operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in
general and administrative expenses.
8
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 such
content on the date of the purchase. The proprietary content is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an eight-year estimated
life. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company
recorded amortization expense of $16,410 and $32,818 respectively, on this intangible asset, which is included in depreciation
and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accumulated amortization at March 31, 2020
was $295,368 and $262,550 at September 30, 2019.
Non-compete Agreements
Non-compete agreements entered into as
a part of the TMN purchase have been recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at $26,300, the value attributed
to such agreements 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 each of the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019,
the Company recorded amortization expense of $1,315 and $2,630 on this intangible asset, which is included in depreciation and
amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accumulated amortization at March 31, 2020 was
$23,670 and $21,040 at September 30,2019.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property is 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 sheets to be impaired as of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019.
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 March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019.
Income Taxes
The Company records federal and state income,
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, penalties or uncertain tax positions as of March
31, 2020 and September 30, 2019.
9
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 loss 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 41,524,589 and 35,837,900 for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Average number of common shares were 41,495,070 and 35,837,900 for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, approximately 6,512,035 common stock equivalents were not added to the diluted
average shares because inclusion of such equivalents would be antidilutive. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019,
approximately 3,940,326 common stock equivalents were not added to the diluted average shares because inclusion of such equivalents
would be antidilutive.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenues primarily
from: Investment Management Fees, TMN subscriptions, Financial Advisor subscriptions, Tax BluePrint sales, Insurance Sales and
Marketing Programs, and Tax Operating System subscriptions.
Sofos generates investment management fees
by providing professional services to manage client investments. Investment management fees are calculated as a percentage of assets
under management for the period. Investment management fees Revenue is recognized as earned, at the end of each period. Fees are
withdrawn from investor accounts monthly, in arrears.
Revenue is also derived from the sale of
annuities and premiums on life insurance policies issued by insurance companies to investment clients, and from insurance marketing
programs (through MPath Advisor Resources, LLC.). The revenue is recognized after the insurance polies are issued and in force.
Revenue represents gross billings less
discounts, and are net of sales taxes, as applicable. Amounts invoiced for work not yet completed are shown as Contract Liabilities
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
TMN has several levels of subscription
services that are charged and collected on a month to month basis. None of these services comes with a long-term commitment or
contract, and there is no up-front payment beyond the monthly subscription fee. Subscription income is billed to client credit
card monthly, on the monthly anniversary of client sign-up. Cancellations are processed within the month requested and subscriptions
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, up to $10,000. Revenue is deferred until the customer
reviews and accepts the final Tax Blueprint® document and returns an executed delivery agreement. Tax Blueprint® sales
are billed to the client after a preliminary assessment and client approval to move forward. Revenue recognized in 2020 that is
included in Contract Liabilities as of September 30, 2019 is $61,400.
Advertising

when incurred. Advertising and marketing expense were $13,472 and $29,971 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively
and $34,585 and $61,615 for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes the fair value of
stock-based compensation awards as wages in the accompanying statements of operations for employee grants, commissions for non-employee

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.
Adjustments
The accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States (“GAAP”), pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The information furnished herein reflects
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present
a fair statement of the financial position and operating results of the Company as of and for the respective periods. However,
these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full fiscal year or any other future period.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP
have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, management of the Company believes, to the best of their knowledge,
that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Company has determined that there
were no subsequent events that would require adjustments to the accompanying consolidated financial statements through the date
the financial statements were issued. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, included in its
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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 on September 18,
2017. 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. Company has not had to use this as a source of funding and expects it to expire with no impact on the
Company’s operations. See Subsequent Events - Paycheck Protection Program.
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, will pursue raising 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.

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 fiscal years
beginning after December 31, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 Financial Instruments—Credit
Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which deferred the effective
date of ASU Topic No. 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. 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 October 1, 2020.

8. INCOME TAXES
For the three and six months ended March
31, 2020 and 2019, the effective tax rate of 0% varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes,
net losses, certain nondeductible expenses, changes in the federal statutory rate are from 35% to 21%, and an increase in the valuation
allowance associated with the net operating loss carryforwards. Our deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards
remain fully reserved due to uncertainty of utilization of those assets.
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 March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019:
March 31, 2020

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Company entered into an agreement to purchase
100% of the stock of Forta. The transaction was valued at $9 million. Scott Winters, Gary Nemer (a former board member) and William
Nelson, Jr. own, in aggregate, in excess of 80% of the shares of stock of Forta.
As a result of the acquisition of the TMN
business in 2016, the Company is obligated to make payments to TaxTuneup, LLC, which is an entity owned by Edward A. Lyon (a current
board member), each month totaling $16,500. The total paid under these agreements in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and
2019 respectively, were $49,500 and $49,500, and for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $99,000 and $99,000.
On April 12, 2019 the Company entered into

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. federal government
enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which includes provision for a Paycheck
Protection Program (“PPP”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP allows
qualifying business to borrow up to $10 million calculated based on qualifying payroll costs. PPP loans bear a fixed interest
rate of 1% over a two-year term, are guaranteed by the federal government, and do not require collateral. The loans may be forgiven,
in part or whole, if the proceeds are used to retain and pay employees and for other qualifying expenditures. The Company has applied
for a PPP loan in the amount of $283,345. The loan was funded on May 8, 2020. The Company expects to use the full proceeds of the
PPP loan in accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act.
In April 2020, the Company tendered its
main leased premises back to the landlord, and does not contemplate occupying the property in the future, nor will there by a replacement
property as the Company successfully operates remotely. Management believes that the landlord will be able to re-lease the property,
and the remaining exposure to the Company under the lease is not material.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, referred to
as COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID-19 has spread to other countries, including the United
States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. Further, the President of the United
States declared the COVID-19 pandemic a national emergency. States in which we operate declared states of emergency related to
the spread of COVID-19 and issued executive orders directing individuals to stay at their place of residence for an indefinite
period of time.
The financial markets demonstrated significant volatility in
reaction to the virus outbreak. There has been considerable strain on companies in many sectors of the economy. Investors suffered
significant decreases in the value of their investment portfolios, and the economy has significantly shut down. It is unclear when
the economy will start up again, and the lingering effects are not known. During periods of high volatility and uncertainty many
investors choose to stop ongoing investment activity and sit on the sidelines until the markets become more stable.
The Company’s revenues are adversely affected when investors
reduce their investment activities. In addition, part of Company’s revenues is based upon the value of assets under management.
If the investment portfolios of clients decrease in value, the fees charged for investment advice also decreases.
The Company could be affected by lack of access to its offices,
although that seems to have had little short term impact as employees have succeeded in maintaining productivity while working
remotely. The long term effects, however, may present significant issues.
Any significant shutdown of the economy for a sustained period
will affect the Company’s revenue which could lead to losses.

$746,766 to $1,308,755 from $2,055,521 for to the six months ended March 31, 2019. The principal components of the decrease in

from $29,310 for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The decrease is primarily related to decreased
credit card processing fees.
Professional services expenses include
legal expense, professional fees, and business consulting. Professional services expenses increased $43,821 to $70,646 for the
three months ended March 31, 2020 from $26,825 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Professional services increased $186,866
to $186,979 for the six months ended March 31, 2020 from $113 for the six months ended March 31, 2019. The variances are comprised

$77,715 to $21,785 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $99,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease
is principally due to a charge of $69,300 in the three months ended March 31, 2019, to amortization, for the full impairment of
Trademarks. Depreciation and amortization decreased $80,793 to $47,807 for the six months ended March 31, 2020, from $128,600 for
the six months ended March 31, 2019. The principal difference is the same charge to amortization for full impairment of Trademarks.

$13,472 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $29,971 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Marketing expenses decreased
$26,988 to $34,585 for the six months ended March 31, 2020 from $61,573 for the six months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease is
due to the Company shutting down some previous marketing channels, while new channels have yet to be fully identified and implemented.

31, 2020 from $1,990,446 for the six months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was principally due to decreases in Commissions,
$244,700, and Stock based compensation, $136,814 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was principally due to
decreases in Commissions of $340,829, stock based compensation of $177,983 for the six months ended March 31, 2020.
The Company experienced a decrease in its
net loss of $153,916 to a net loss of $162,107 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from a net loss of $316,023 for the three
months ended March 31, 2019. The Company experienced a decrease in its net loss of $348,919 to a net loss of $171,352 for the six
months ended March 31, 2020 from a net loss of $520,271 for the six months ended March 31, 2019. The decreases are primarily attributable
to the reasons noted above, and the proceeds from the sale of the FG Tax unit for $150,000.

Significant Accounting Policies
Certain critical accounting policies affect
the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of Financial Gravity’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.
Services income is recognized as consulting
and other professional services are performed by the Company.
Commission revenue is derived from the
sale of premiums on life insurance policies held by third parties. The revenue is recognized at the time the policy is issued.
Revenue represents gross billings less
discounts, net of sales tax, as applicable. Amounts invoiced for work not yet completed are shown as Contract liabilities in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Tax Master Network has 5 levels of subscription
services that are charged and collected on a month to month basis (Tax Master basic, advance, and elite membership, all-stars coaching,
and networker). 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.
Accounts receivable are primarily generated
from the TMN subscriptions (collected in advance), the sale of investment products and services (collected directly from the custodian
or issuer), and of products related to tax planning (collected in advance). The accounts are carried at the invoiced amount less
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 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.
In the normal course of business, the Company
may extend 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
stock-based compensation awards as wages in the accompanying statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting
period, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is based on risk-free rates of 1.56% in the quarter ending March 31,
2020 and 1.49% to 2.55% in 2019, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 7 years and volatility of 100% in 2020 and 35% to 40%
in 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2020, the Company had
cash and cash equivalents of $22,579. The decrease of ($13,474) in cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended March
31, 2020 was primarily due to net cash used in operating activities and the sale of Financial Gravity Tax, Inc.
19
Net cash used in operating activities was
$29,415 for the six months ended March 31, 2020. The net cash used in operating activities was due to net loss of $171,352 adjusted
primarily by the following: (1) depreciation and amortization of $47,807, stock based compensation of $16,251, and an increase
in Accounts payable – trade and related party payables of $125,286.
Net cash provided by financing activities
was $18,375 for the six months ended March 31, 2020. This was principally due to payments on the line of credit ($6,996) and notes
payable ($2,890), offset by the sale of common stock ($25,000) option and SAR grant activity.
As shown below, at March 31, 2020, our
contractual cash obligations totaled approximately $460,010, which consisted of operating lease obligations and debt principal.

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 our 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 our operations. Management 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 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
Interest Rate Risk. Our 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 our financial condition and ability to continue as a going concern.
Stock Market Risk. Our investment
advisory business is subject to stock market risks. Revenue is generally based upon a percentage of the value of assets under
management. Stock market downturns can affect the value of assets under management and therefore affect revenue.
20
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by
this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure
controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on
that evaluation, we concluded that, as of the date of the evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective
to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic filings under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including the officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures. It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required
to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.
During the period covered by this report,
there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II Other Information
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS.
No changes from September 30, 2019 10-K annual report other
than:
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, referred to
as COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID-19 has spread to other countries, including the United
States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. Further, the President of the United
States declared the COVID-19 pandemic a national emergency. States in which we operate declared states of emergency related to
the spread of COVID-19 and issued executive orders directing individuals to stay at their place of residence for an indefinite
period of time.
The financial markets demonstrated significant volatility in
reaction to the virus outbreak. There has been considerable strain on companies in many sectors of the economy. Investors suffered
significant decreases in the value of their investment portfolios, and the economy has significantly shut down. It is unclear when
the economy will start up again, and the lingering effects are not known. During periods of high volatility and uncertainty many
investors choose to stop ongoing investment activity and sit on the sidelines until the markets become more stable.
The Company’s revenues are adversely affected when investors
reduce their investment activities. In addition, part of Company’s revenues is based upon the value of assets under management.
If the investment portfolios of clients decrease in value, the fees charged for investment advice also decreases.
The Company could be affected by lack of access to its offices,
although that seems to have had little short term impact as employees have succeeded in maintaining productivity while working
remotely. The long term effects, however, may present significant issues.
Any significant shutdown of the economy for a sustained period
will affect the Company’s revenue which could lead to losses.
