NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NATURE OF BUSINESS
Financial Gravity Companies, Inc., and subsidiaries
(the “Company”) is headquartered in Austin Texas, with locations in Allen, Texas, Denver, Colorado and Cincinnati, Ohio. The
currently operating wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company include:
Sofos Investments, 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 money management, financial planning, and wealth management. Sofos commenced
its money management services in late 2020, and by March 31, 2021 had in excess of $100,000,000 in assets under management.
Tax Master Network, LLC, runs the Tax Master Network®
(“TMN”) that provides four primary services including monthly subscriptions to the TMN systems, coaching and marketing services.
TMN currently supports over 300 Certified Public Accountants (“CPA”) and Enrolled Agent professionals, training them to support
clients through tax planning services. TMN has developed the Certified Tax Master® that includes client acquisition and retention
systems. TMN also offers tax planning services through the Tax Blueprint®, which includes an extensive individualized review and assessment
of the client’s tax situation. The initial assessment sets the requirements for a custom Tax Blueprint® for each client to use
as guide to implementation of the identified tax savings strategies. Finally, TMN offers the Tax Operating System, which is a system for
integrating and executing tax planning strategies. In addition, TMN will be launching new efforts to increase subscribers, including a
revamped tax operating system and financial advisor business development programs that will assist TMN subscribers in increasing their
business activity. The goal is to provide TMN subscribers with a platform for them to enhance their business opportunities in the areas
of investment and financial advice and to increase their effectiveness as tax advisors to small businesses and individuals.
Tax Master Network, LLC gives CPAs, Enrolled Agents,
and other tax professionals a system for marketing, selling, and fulfilling tax-planning engagements. The system rests on two proprietary
SAAS-based applications, the Tax Ninja software, which uses non-technical language in written reports introducing clients to tax-saving
concepts and strategies; and the Tax Operating System®, which automates implementation of tax strategies. The system also includes:
1) marketing and practice-management tools and resources; 2) access to the Technical Training Center and the Sales Training Center to
support members; 3) the monthly Fueled program which promotes personal development education; 4) the weekly Tax Beat client newsletter
(a client newsletter); and 6) the Certified Tax Master® designation (which identifies members as offering special training not usually
available to clients). TMN membership also includes the Financial Advisor Technical Education (FATE) program, which serves two goals:
1) it helps tax planners do a better job helping clients manage tax exposure in their investment portfolios; and 2) it gives members a
proprietary "done for you" path into the investment advisory business.
MPath Advisor Resources, LLC (“MPath”)
MPath is an insurance marketing organization and provides insurance products and services to insurance agents or agencies. This is a new
venture that will be focused upon insurance marketing and will capture business synergies in the sale of insurance products by financial
advisors with TMN and with Forta.

advisors and representative in other states. Forta will be focused on attracting independent advisors and supporting TMN members as they

Act of 1934, the Forta is required to maintain minimum net capital of $100,000 and ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital shall
not exceed 15 to 1. On March 31, 2021, the Forta’s net capital was $292,930 and the aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 67.46%.

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.
Beginning as of May 21, 2020 Forta’s assets
and liabilities are included in Company’s assets and liabilities and Forta’s results of operations have been consolidated
with Company’s results.
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 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. Cash does not include restricted
cash, including the net capital deposit of approximately $100,000 at First Clearing, which is recorded on the balance sheet with prepaid
expenses and other current assets.
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, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
In the normal course of business, the Company
may extend credit to its customers, on an unsecured basis, substantially all of whom are 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 and other current assets
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. This asset group also includes an accrued income asset, for Investment Management Fees, which are billed and collected
in arrears. The Accrued Income balance as of March 31, 2021 is $224,569. This accounting is pursuant to recently revised accounting policies,
which improve reporting accuracy, and as such, there are no prior meaningful comparative balances. The Company will report comparative
balances when available.
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.
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 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 each of
the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded amortization expense of $16,185 and $16,410 for the three
months, and $28,777 and $32,818 for the six months, 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, 2021 was $410,234 and $377,505
at September 30, 2020.
Future amortization of proprietary content is
estimated to be as follows for the years ended September 30:
2021
$ 33,450
2022
81,416
$ 114,866
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 months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded amortization expense of $0
and $1,315 respectively. During each of the six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded amortization expense of $0
and $2,630 respectively on this intangible asset, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations. Accumulated amortization was $26,300 at September 30, 2020. This asset is fully amortized and written off, at
September 30, 2020.
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 sheets to be impaired as
of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020.
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 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets to be impaired as of
March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

Forta Goodwill

7,380,603
Total Goodwill
$ 8,475,305
$ 8,475,305
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, 2021
and September 30, 2020.
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 83,618,412 and 83,618,412 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, and 41,524,589
and 41,495,070 for the three and six months ended March 31,2020, respectively.
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2021,
approximately 3,397,696 and 3,397,696, respectively, 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, 2020, approximately 6,512,035 and 6,512,035, respectively,
common stock equivalents were not added to the diluted average shares because inclusion of such equivalents 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, 2019 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
the following activities: Investment Management Fees, Securities Brokerage Commissions, Tax Master Network subscriptions, Tax Operating
System subscriptions, Financial Advisor subscriptions, Tax BluePrint sales, and Insurance Sales.
10
Investment management fees are recognized as services
are provided by the Company through Forta. Investment management fees include fees earned from assets under management by providing professional
services to manage clients’ investments. Fees are generally paid quarterly, in advance, for each quarter or monthly in arrears.
Revenues are earned over the period in which the service is provided, which is typically monthly.
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.
Trade accounts receivable are carried only for
investment management fees that are paid in arrears. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0 as of March 31, 2021 and 2020,
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.
Sofos generates investment management fees for
money management services and investment advisory services based upon assets under management. Revenue is recognized as earned, at the
end of each month.
Forta generates commission revenue from the sale
of securities, annuities and premiums on life insurance policies held by third parties. The revenue is recognized on a trade date basis
for commissions on securities sales and upon acceptance of insurance policies by insurers.
MPath generates revenue from insurance marketing
services for insurance agents, including sourcing of insurance policies through selling agreements.
Tax Master Network has five levels of network
subscription services that are charged and collected on a month-to-month 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. A contract liability is recognized when the customer payment
is received. Revenue is deferred until the customer reviews and accepts the final Tax Blueprint® document and returns an executed
delivery agreement.
The Company received revenue from Sofos’
operations for the six month ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, $925,329 and $424,316, and for the three months ended March

Stock-Based Compensation
While the fair value of the options are
based on the Black Scholes assumptions, the SAR awards are based on assumptions at period end and are treated as liability
awards. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur.
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,
2020, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.
12
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.
For the six months ended March 31, 2021, the Company reported $3,389.673
in revenue, a net loss of $298,147, cash used in operations of $258,061, and an accumulated deficit of $7,288,936. These operating results
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect
the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may
result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
On May 8, 2020, the Company received a PPP loan
in the amount of $283,345. Additionally, on May 15, 2020, Forta received a PPP loans in the amount of $377,700. 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. On February 2, 2021
Forta received a PPP loan in the amount of $422,900. This PPP loan bears a fixed interest rate of 1% over a five-year term, are guaranteed
by the federal government, and does 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 expects that the full proceeds of the PPP loans will be eligible
for forgiveness, which would result in an increase in capital of $1,083,945.
Company’s plans for expansion include attracting
additional clients through marketing efforts with its current and future brokerage, investment management and insurance agent representatives,
as well as increasing the TMN membership and the investment advisory activity of the members to increase assets under management and Company’s
revenue. Future growth plans will include efforts to increase advisory headcount through recruiting of individuals advisors and groups
of advisors. There is no guaranty that the Company will achieve these objectives.
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 loss 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. Adoption of ASU 2017-04 does not have a material impact
on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
3.
SEGMENT REPORTING
We manage our business in four reportable segments.
Each of our active subsidiaries is treated as a segment. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments based on a segment’s
share of consolidated operating income. Therefore, for instance, the tax unit, Financial Gravity Tax (“FGT”), was sold in
October of 2020 because the Company did not see growth potential in the unit’s accounting and direct tax advice operations. Certain
growth operations of the tax unit, including the tax operating system, have been taken over by TMN.

BUSINESS ACQUISITION
On May 21, 2020 the Company acquired 100% of the
stock of Forta. Forta is a broker dealer, registered investment advisor and an insurance brokerage, subject to FINRA, SEC and insurance
regulation. Forta’s financial performance is included in Company’s consolidated statements starting as of May 21, 2020.
The Company acquired Forta in May of 2020 in exchange
for 45,785,879 shares of Company common stock. A liability of $699,117 has been recorded for 4,178,564 shares of common stock related
to the acquisition remaining to be issued as of March 31, 2021. Forta is a broker dealer, and its acquisition presented the Company with
an opportunity to compete in the broker dealer market, and to try to grow in this area of financial services. Forta also has key employees
who assumed vital executive leadership roles within the Company, including key executives who will focus on improving operations and growth
opportunity. Forta also contributed key operating assets, including in excess of $700,000 in cash, and annual revenues in excess of $3,000,000.
Purchase Price Allocation
The purchase price of $7,652,415 was based upon
the share price of Company’s stock as of May 21, 2020 and $52,000 note payable. We have used preliminary fair value estimates for
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition. We believe significant synergies may arise from this acquisition,
as a result of which the purchase price was in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired and, as a result, we have preliminarily
recorded goodwill of $7,380,603, which is based upon book value, to account for adjustments made. We have not yet finalized estimates
that relate to certain tangible and intangible assets, including customer relationships, trade names, contracts. Our estimates and assumptions
for these acquisitions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the respective measurement periods
(up to one year from the acquisition date).

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 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-1 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 their office space through
an operating lease in Denver Colorado runs through 2024 and non-material offices leases in Cincinnati, Ohio, and short-term tenancies
in Austin, Texas, Allen, Texas and Loveland, Colorado. Company’s 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.
The Company also leases certain equipment under
operating leases.

Total Company rent expense for the three months
ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively was $32,360, and $32,667. Total Company rent expense for the six months ended March 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively was $138,383 and $64,588. The Forta lease for its Greenwood Village premises was renegotiated. As part of the lease
amendment entered into with the lessor in December 2020, the rent owed for September to December 2020 was deferred and will be paid over
the term of the amended lease.” The difference between rental expense and rental payments is recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. Management expects that in the normal course of business, leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases.
Company also has short term leases that are insignificant in its other locations.
Minimum future annual rental payments under non-cancelable
operating leases having original terms in excess of one year are as follows:

LINE OF CREDIT
The Company has a revolving line of credit with

NOTES PAYABLE
On April 19, 2020, the Company entered into an
unsecured Promissory Note Payable with Charles O’Banon (“O’Banon”), a customer, in the amount of $32,205. The
note is in settlement of tax penalties and interest he incurred, that were proximately caused by the Company’s actions. The monthly
principal and interest payments are $623, with a balloon payment of $14,048 in April 2022. The note is being repaid over 36 months and
bears an interest rate of 6%. The Company has instituted abatement efforts on O’Banon’s behalf, with the taxing authority,
however the abatement was denied. The outstanding balance on March 31, 2021 and 2020, was $20,466 and $26,511 respectively.
On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into an
agreement with John DuPriest (DuPriest), a former officer of Forta, in settlement pursuant to employment termination. The parties entered
into an unsecured promissory note to DuPriest in the amount of $52,000.00, bearing interest of 5%, payable over 26 months beginning with

the proceeds are used to retain and pay employees and for other qualifying expenditures. The Company expects that the full proceeds of
the PPP loans will be eligible for forgiveness, which would result in an increase in capital of $1,083,945. Forta submitted its forgiveness
application to the SBA in December of 2020 on the first tier loans, and at quarter end Company was awaiting the SBA’s follow-up
on its application for forgiveness. However, the PPP loan to Company was forgiven after March 31, 2021 (see Subsequent Events).

INCOME TAXES
For the three months ending March 31, 2021 and
2020, 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, 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, 2021 and September 30, 2020:

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND CONCENTRATIONS
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.
Forta has 16 pending FINRA claims that arise from
the sale to clients of alternative investments (REITs, Business Development Loan Funds, and Oil and Gas securities). While the exposure
on these cases would not be material, the costs of defense for legal fees may be substantial. Company is evaluating the impact upon operations
of the expenses.
In December 2020, 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.

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.
The Company derives its revenues primarily from
six components: Investment Management Fees, Brokerage Commissions, Tax Master Network subscriptions, Tax Operating System subscriptions,
Financial Advisor subscriptions, Tax BluePrint sales, and Insurance Sales.
Sofos Investments, Inc. 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. Investment management fees are calculated as a percentage of assets under management for the period.
Investment management fees are Revenue is recognized as earned, at the end of each period. Fees are withdrawn from investor assets monthly,
in arrears.
Commission revenue is derived from the sale of
securities, annuities and premiums on life insurance policies. The revenue is recognized when commissions are earned from the sale of
securities, and when it is determined that insurance products are sold. Commissions are received after products are sold, issued or 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 deferred revenue in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.

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. Subscription income is billed to client credit card monthly, on the
monthly anniversary of client sign-up. Tax BluePrint sales are billed to the client after a preliminary assessment and client approval
to move forward. Revenue has been recognized in 2021 in the amount of $76,470, that was included in the contract liability at the beginning
of the at the end of 2020.

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 stock-based
compensation awards as wages in the accompanying statements of operations for employee grants, commissions for non-employee grants, and
stock appreciation rights grants, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which
is based on risk-free rate of 0.59%, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 10 years and volatility of 35% to 40% in 2020. SAR awards
are new this year and are being treated as a liability award while the options are being treated as equity awards. While the fair value
of the options are based on the Black Scholes assumptions included here, the SAR awards are based on assumptions at period end and are
treated as liability awards. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had cash and
cash equivalents of $626,685. The increase of $143,831 in cash and cash equivalents from September 30, 2020 was due to net cash used in

reported $3,389,673 in revenue, a net loss of $298,147, an increase in cash used in operations of $258,061, and an accumulated deficit
of $7,288,936. These operating results raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
On May 8, 2020, the Company received a PPP loan
in the amount of $283,345. Additionally, on May 15, 2020, Forta received a PPP loan in the amount of $377,700 and $422,900 in February
of 2021. 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 expects that the full proceeds of the PPP loans will be eligible for forgiveness, which would result in an increase
in capital of $1,083,945.
Company’s plans for expansion include attracting
additional clients through marketing efforts with its current and future brokerage, investment management and insurance agent representatives,
as well as increasing the TMN membership and the investment advisory activity of the members to increase assets under management and Company’s
revenue. Future growth plans will include efforts to increase advisory headcount through recruiting of individuals advisors and groups
of advisors. There is no guaranty that the Company will achieve these objectives.
Off Balance Sheet Transactions and Related Matters
Other than operating leases discussed in Note
4 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.
