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 Financial Gravity Companies, FGAM, FGEM, TMN. FGIS, FGFOS and Forta (collectively referred to as the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. 7 Reclassifications to Prior Period Financial Statements and Adjustments Certain items from prior reporting periods were reclassified in the financial statements for the current year presentation. These do not have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, or statements of cash flow. For instance, an adjustment has been made to the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows changing the classification of approximately $99,000 from accrued expense in the report for March 31, 2021 to contract liabilities in the report for March 31, 2022. An adjustment has been made to the accompanying balance sheet and consolidated statements of cash flows changing the classification of right to use lease in the report for March 31, 2021 to right-of-use asset in the report for March 31, 2022. Compensation items classified as salaries and wages as of March 31, 2021, have been reclassified to compensation expense on the consolidated statements of operations. For the period ending March 31, 2021, approximately $88,000 was reclassified from deferred rent to rent payable on the consolidated balance sheet. These changes in classification does not affect previously reported operating activities or financial position of the Company. 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. 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. 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. 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-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded amortization expense of $ 16,185 . During the six-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded amortization expense of $ 32,729 and $ 28,777 , respectively. Amortization expense related to this intangible asset is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accumulated amortization at March 31, 2022 was $ 475,871 and $ 443,142 at September 30, 2021. Future amortization of proprietary content is estimated to be as follows for the years ended September 30: 8 Future amortization of proprietary content is estimated to be as follows for the years ended September 30: Schedule of future amortization 2022 $ 32,729 2023 16,500 Future amortization $ 49,229 Intellectual Property The Company accounts for intellectual property in accordance with GAAP and accordingly, 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 has an indefinite life and does not consider the value of intellectual property recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets to be impaired as of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021. Goodwill The Company conducts ongoing annual impairment assessments, 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 its carrying amount. The qualitative factors evaluated by the Company include: macroeconomic 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, an impairment test is performed. Management determined that no impairment was necessary at March 31, 2022. Goodwill consists of the following: Schedule of goodwill March 31, 2022 September 30, 2021 TMN Goodwill $ 1,094,702 $ 1,094,702 Company Goodwill (Net NCW/Vestus Transaction) 2,082,065 2,082,065 Total Goodwill $ 3,176,767 $ 3,176,767 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 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 were no uncertain tax positions or accrued interest or penalties as of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021. 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 income tax returns since 2019 are still subject for examination by taxing authorities. 9 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 91,806,983 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 83,618,412 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, approximately 5,470,600 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, 2021, approximately 3,397,696 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 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. Investment management fees are recognized as services are provided by the Company.

The allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 0 as of March 31, 2022, September 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021. In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit on an unsecured basis to its customers as fees accrue during a month. The Company does not believe that it is exposed to any significant risk of loss on accruing fees. FGAM and FGFOS generate investment management fees for services provided by the Company to clients.

Commissions are collected after products are sold, issued or in force.

This is a reclassification from prior periods’ salary and wages on the consolidated statements of operations. 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 0.77 % in the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and 0.59 % in 2021, dividend yield of 0 %, expected life of 10 years and volatility of 86.17 % in 2022 and 35 % to 40 % in 2021 respectively. SAR awards 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. 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 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, 2021, 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company reported $ 1,575,341 in revenue, a net operating loss of $ 397,410 , and cash used of $ 175,296 . For the six months ended March 31, 2022, the Company reported $ 3,171,235 in revenue, a net operating loss of $ 470,576 , cash used of $ 128,170 , and an accumulated deficit of $ 14,886,607 . These operating results raise 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. The 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 the Company’s revenue. Future growth plans will include efforts to increase advisory headcount through recruiting of individual advisors and groups of advisors. There is no guaranty that the Company will achieve these objectives. 12 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November of 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10 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. The guidance has been implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. 3. SEGMENT REPORTING We manage our business in reportable segments.

Schedule of intellectual property Intellectual property consists of the following: Intellectual property at September 30, 2021 $ 53,170 Intellectual property purchased at cost – Intellectual property at March 31, 2022 $ 53,170 5. LEASES The Company leases their office space through an operating lease in Lakeway, Texas and Carmel, California, and an office lease in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Company had a lease in Denver with a lease term into 2024 and deferred for some past due lease obligations over the amended lease term, but that leased property has been tendered back to the landlord. The Company still carries $ 88,008 in rent payable related to the Denver lease on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Carmel lease is for a term that ends in June of 2023. The Company’s lease agreements obligate the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance, and certain maintenance costs, which are accounted for separately. The Lakeway, Texas lease is for a term ending in January 2027. This lease obligates the Company to pay a share of certain common costs, including maintenance, insurance, property taxes and utilities. 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. Company assumed an existing lease in Carmel CA upon the merger with NCW/Vestus. The lease runs through June 2023. The total rent expense for the Carmel lease was $ 11,250 and $ 22,500 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. There are renewal options at the end of this lease. At this time, renewal is uncertain. A discount rate of 6 % was used in determining the right-of-use asset and related lease liability. Minimum future annual rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases having original terms in excess of one year are as follows: Schedule of future minimum rental payments Maturity of lease payable: 2022 $ 81,850 2023 49,024 2024 38,696 2025 39,610 2026 33,650 Thereafter – Total undiscounted lease payments 242,830 Less: Imputed interest ( 27,591 ) Present value of lease payable $ 215,239 17 The weighted average discount rate is 6 % and the remaining weighted average lease term is 3.99 years. 6. LINE OF CREDIT The Company has a revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in the amount of $ 67,500 . Amounts drawn under this line of credit are due on demand, and monthly interest and principal payments are required. The interest rate on the line of credit was 7.75 % and 9.50 % as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This line of credit is supported by the personal guarantee of John Pollock. The line of credit balance was $ 50,228 and $ 44,065 at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $ 52,932 at September 30, 2021. 7. NOTES PAYABLE On April 19, 2019, the Company entered into an unsecured Promissory Note Payable with Charles O’Banon, a customer, in the amount of $ 32,205 and was scheduled to mature in April 2022. The balance of the note as of March 31, 2022 was $ 14,408 . As of April 15, 2022 payments on the remaining balance of $14,048 were reset at $ 500 (principal and interest), with a balloon payment of the outstanding balance due in April 2023. The interest rate is 6 % per annum (see Note 14). On August 31, 2021, 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 , bearing interest of 5 %, payable over 26 months beginning on January 15, 2021 through February 15, 2023. The balance is $ 38,548 and $ 38,548 as of March 31, 2022 and September 30 2021, respectively. DuPriest has agreed to a moratorium on payment on the note. 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, is guaranteed by the federal government, and does not require collateral. The SBA has informed Forta that $ 339,070 of the outstanding principle is eligible for forgiveness. Forta is evaluating the SBA’s conclusion. The Company’s maturities of debt subsequent to March 31, 2022 are as follows: Schedule of debt maturities 2022 $ 52,596 2023 0 2024 0 2025 0 2026 422,900 Total Debt maturities 475,496 8. ACCRUED EXPENSES Accrued expenses increased by approximately $ 125,000 for the six months ending March 31, 2022 to approximately $ 1,208,000 from approximately $ 1,083,000 as of September 30, 2021. Accrued expenses consist of the following at March 31, 2022: Schedule of accrued expenses March 31, 2022 September 30, 2021 SAR liability $ 61,042 $ 61,763 Accrued payroll 160,275 42,858 Commissions payable 97,223 80,588 Accrued expenses 65,256 132,653 Other accounts payable - unissued stock 824,597 765,117 Accrued operating expenses $ 1,208,393 $ 1,082,979 18 9. INCOME TAXES For the six months ending March 31, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022 and September 30, 2021: Schedule of deferred tax assets and liabilities March 31, 2022 September 30, 2021 Net non-current deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforward $ 1,413,196 $ 1,328,093 Amortization ( 8,383 ) ( 8,770 ) Depreciation 5,301 5,626 Valuation allowance ( 1,410,114 ) ( 1,324,949 ) Net deferred taxes $ – $ – 10. 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. In December 2021, a new variant of the novel strain of coronavirus, referred to as COVID-19, spread to the United States. The financial markets may demonstrate volatility in reaction to the virus outbreak. Strain on companies in many sectors of the economy continue. It is unclear when these strains will end, 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. 19 11.
