NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022, AND 2021
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
SideChannel,
Inc. (the “Company” or “SideChannel”), formerly Cipherloc Corporation, was incorporated in the State of Texas
on June 22, 1953, under the name “American Mortgage Company.” Effective August 27, 2014, the Company changed its name to
“Cipherloc Corporation.” Effective July 5, 2022, the Company changed its name to “SideChannel, Inc.” following
its acquisition of SideChannel, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, on July 1, 2022 (See Note 7 – Subsequent Events). Prior to September
30, 2021, the Company was a Texas corporation. The Company became a Delaware corporation effective September 30, 2021.
The
Company is a provider of cybersecurity services and technology to middle market companies. The Company’s website is www.sidechannel.com.
On
August 2, 2022, the Company changed its ticker symbol from CLOK to SDCH.
NOTE
2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for
interim financial information in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. In the Company’s
opinion, it has included all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation.
The
Company’s operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2022. The Company has omitted notes to the unaudited interim financial statements that
would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.
This report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2021 included within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
NOTE
3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
The Company’s cash includes cash on hand and cash in the bank. The balance of such accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured
limits, as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC insures these deposits up to $ 250,000 .
As of June 30, 2022, $ 3,338,912 of the Company’s cash balance was uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses related
to uninsured cash balances.
Basic
and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share
The
Company computes its basic net loss per share by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of shares is calculated by taking the
number of shares outstanding and weighting that number by the amount of time that the applicable shares were outstanding. Diluted net
loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if vested stock options, warrants, and other commitments of the Company
to issue shares of common stock were exercised, resulting in the issuance of additional shares of common stock that would share in the
earnings of the Company. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
7
Table of Contents
The
Company’s diluted loss per share was the same as the basic loss per share for the periods in which the Company incurred net losses
since the inclusion of potential common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss. For the three months
and nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Company excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share warrants to purchase 79,461,481
shares of its common stock, and 1,981,484 shares of its common stock issued pursuant to restricted stock units because the effect of
including those shares would be anti-dilutive. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company excluded from the calculation
of diluted loss per share warrants to purchase 79,461,481 shares of common stock because the effect of including those shares would be
anti-dilutive.
Reclassification
The
common stock and additional paid in capital line items on the balance sheet have been reclassified to be comparable to the current period’s
presentation. The reclassification reflects the difference in the par value of the Company’s common stock when it was a Texas corporation,
prior to September 30, 2021, and the par value of the Company’s common stock after it became a Delaware corporation, on September
30, 2021.
Research
and Development Costs
The
Company expenses all research and development costs, including patent and software development costs.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue
from Contracts with Customers , ” including a series of amendments, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Central
to the Company’s revenue recognition guidance is a five-step revenue recognition model that requires reporting entities to:
1.
Identify
the contract,
2.
Identify
the performance obligations of the contract,
3.
Determine
the transaction price of the contract,
4.
Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations, and
5.
Recognize
revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied.
The
Company accounts for a promise to provide a customer with a right to access the Company’s intellectual property as a performance
obligation satisfied over time, because the customer will simultaneously receive and consume the benefit from access to the Company’s
intellectual property as the performance occurs.
Software
License Agreements
The
Company executed a software license agreement with Castle Shield Holdings, LLC (“Castle Shield”) during the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2020. That agreement includes an auto-renewing annual term. The Company did not receive any payments from Castle Shield
during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. The Company recognized $ 449 in licensing revenues from Castle Shield during the nine
months ended June 30, 2022.

Table of Contents
Effect
of Recently Issued Amendments to Authoritative Guidance
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issues Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to amend the authoritative
literature in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). There have been several ASUs to date that amend the original
text of the ASCs. Other than those discussed below, the Company believes those ASUs issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance,
(ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company, or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on the
Company.
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This guidance
removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting
guidance, including requirements such as tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination,
ownership changes in investments, and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. This standard is effective for fiscal
years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted
ASU 2019-12 on October 1, 2021, and the adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In
January 2020, the FASB issued guidance to clarify certain interactions between the guidance to account for equity securities, the guidance
to account for investments under the equity method of accounting, and the guidance to account for derivatives and hedging. The new guidance
clarifies the application of measurement alternatives and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options to acquire
investments. The Company adopted this guidance on October
1, 2021, and the adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In
May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock
Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new ASU addresses
an issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. This amendment
is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 - 13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which requires a financial asset
(or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance
for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s), to present the net
carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2019 . In November 2019 , the FASB issued ASU 2019 - 10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses
(Topic 326 ), which delays the effective date of the pronouncement for public business entities that are smaller reporting companies,
as defined by the SEC, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 . Early adoption is permitted. The
Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
In
November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance, which provided guidance to increase the transparency of government
assistance received by an entity by requiring disclosures relating to the accounting policy, nature of the assistance, and the effect
of the assistance on the financial statements. The Company is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of its fiscal year
2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06— Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives
and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an
Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain
separation models in Subtopic 470- 20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options , for convertible instruments. Under the amendments
in ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features in the instruments are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments
with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do
not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for
as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, and a convertible preferred stock will be accounted for as a single equity instrument
measured at its historical cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation
models, the interest rate of convertible debt instruments will typically be closer to the coupon interest rate when applying the guidance
in Topic 835, Interest. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are designed to provide financial statement users with a simpler and more consistent
starting point to perform analyses across entities. The amendments also improve the operability of the guidance and reduce, to a large
extent, the complexities in the accounting for convertible instruments and the difficulties with the interpretation and application of
the relevant guidance.
Additionally,
for convertible debt instruments with substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, amendments in ASU 2020-06 added disclosures
about (1) the fair value amount and the level of fair value hierarchy of the entire instrument for public business entities and (2) the
premium amount recorded as paid-in capital. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on October 1, 2021, which adoption did not have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

4– COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The
Company is currently not involved in any litigation that it believes could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition
or results of operations.
In
December 2017, Robert LeBlanc filed a petition against the Company and Michael De La Garza, the Company’s former Chief Executive
Officer and President, in the 20th Judicial District for Hays County, Texas (Cause No. 18-0005). Mr. LeBlanc sought damages against the
Company exceeding $ 1 million, but less than $ 10 million. On May 19, 2022, Mr. LeBlanc entered into a joint settlement agreement with
the Company, the Company’s directors and officer’s liability carrier, and Mr. De La Garza. As part of this settlement agreement,
the Company paid Mr. LeBlanc $ 109,432 in cash and issued him 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for his release
of the Company from all past and future liabilities associated with this matter.
In
April 2020, Eric Marquez, the former Secretary/Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and certain other plaintiffs filed
a lawsuit against the Company and Michael De La Garza, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and President, in the 20 th
Judicial District for Hays County, Texas (Cause No. 20-0818). The lawsuit alleges causes of action for fraud against Mr. De La
Garza (for misrepresentations allegedly made by Mr. De La Garza); breach of contract, for alleged breaches of Mr. Marquez’s alleged
oral employment agreement with the Company, which Mr. Marquez claims required the Company to pay him cash and issue him shares of the
Company’s stock; unjust enrichment; quantum meruit; and rescission of certain stock purchases made by certain of the plaintiffs,
as well as requests for declaratory relief. Damages sought exceed $ 1,000,000 . The Company believes it has made all required payments
and delivered all required shares of stock to the plaintiffs. The case is currently being defended by the Company. The Company believes
it has meritorious defenses to the allegations, and the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend the litigation.
Leases
As
of June 30, 2022, the Company had no financial obligations for facility lease agreements, except as set forth below.
Prior
to December 1, 2021, Tom Wilkinson, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, provided the Company with the use of office space that
he rents, located at 6836 Bee Caves Road, Building 1, Suite 279, Austin, TX 78746, for its corporate headquarters. After December 1,
2021, the Company entered into a month-to-month lease agreement for this office space with Nolen & Associates, under which the Company
pays Nolen & Associates $ 500 per month in rent.
The
Company’s rent expense totaled $ 1,500 and $ 3,641 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, and $ 170,265 and $ 306,453 for
the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
NOTE

April 6, 2020, the Company submitted an application for a $ 365,430 loan under the Paycheck Protection Program sponsored by the U.S. Small
Business Administration (the “SBA Loan”). On April 12, 2020, the SBA Loan application was approved, and the Company received
the loan proceeds on April 22, 2020. The SBA Loan matured on April 12, 2022 .
On
January 29, 2021, the Company filed for partial forgiveness of $ 192,052 of the SBA Loan, which was approved on June 11, 2021. The Company’s
reductions in staff that occurred in 2020 prevented the Company from qualifying for forgiveness of the entire principal balance of the
SBA Loan.
On
April 15, 2021, the Company placed the entire $ 365,430 principal balance of the SBA Loan, plus an additional $ 1,000 , into an escrow account.
Upon receiving the partial forgiveness of the SBA Loan described above, the Company paid the remaining balance of the SBA Loan, using
funds in the escrow account. The Company transferred the remaining balance of the escrow account to the Company’s operating account.
The balance of the SBA Loan was $ 0 as of September 30, 2021.

7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
July 1, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding equity securities of SideChannel,
Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Subsidiary”), in exchange for shares of the Company’s equity securities (the
“Acquisition”), pursuant to an Equity Securities Purchase Agreement, dated May 16, 2022 (the “Purchase Agreement”).
The Acquisition was previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on May 18, 2022.
Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the former shareholders of the Subsidiary (the “Sellers”) exchanged all of
their equity securities in the Subsidiary for a total of 59,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “First Tranche
Shares”), and 100 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series A Preferred Stock, $ 0.001 par value (the “Series
A Preferred Stock”). The Sellers are entitled to receive up to an additional 59,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
(the “Second Tranche Shares” and together with the First Tranche Shares and the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Shares”)
at such time that the operations of the Subsidiary, as a subsidiary of the Company, achieves at least $ 5.5 million in revenue (the “Milestone”)
for any twelve-month period occurring after the Closing Date and before the 48-month anniversary of the execution of the Purchase Agreement.
On
the Closing Date, the Sellers acquired approximately 40.4% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. If the Subsidiary achieves
the Milestone, and the Sellers are issued the Second Tranche Shares, and assuming that there is no other change in the number of shares
outstanding prior to the issuance of the Second Tranche Shares, the Sellers will hold a total of approximately 57.5% of the Company’s
outstanding common stock . The number of the Second Tranche Shares may be reduced or increased, based upon whether the Subsidiary’s
working capital as of the Closing Date was less than or more than zero. The number of the Second Tranche Shares may also be subject to
adjustment based upon any successful indemnification claims made by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
The
Shares are subject to a Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to certain exceptions, the Sellers may not directly or
indirectly offer to sell, or otherwise transfer, any of the Shares for twenty-four months after the Closing Date without the prior written
consent of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement, each of the Sellers may sell up to
20% of their Shares beginning twelve months after the Closing Date, and the remaining 80% of their shares of Common Stock beginning twenty-four
months after the Closing Date . The Company is currently performing a formal valuation of the acquisition, including an analysis of any
purchase price adjustments, and a review of the assts and liabilities acquired to determine appropriate fair values.
On

same date, the Board appointed Deborah MacConnel and Kevin Powers to fill the vacancies resulting from those resignations. On that same
date, the Board expanded the number of members of the Board by two members and approved the appointments of Brian Haugli and Hugh Regan

July 1, 2022, the Board approved the Company’s entry into restricted stock unit award agreements with two employees and five members
of the Board. Under those agreements, the Company granted a total of 2,705,556 shares of restricted stock. The restricted stock awards
vest in three equal tranches on the next three anniversaries of the date of the applicable awards. The total value of the shares of restricted
stock awarded was $ 270,556 , based upon the market price of $ 0.10 per share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, and elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake

otherwise.
Overview
With
our acquisition of SideChannel, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, on July 1, 2022, we expanded our capabilities to include providing
cybersecurity programs to mid-market companies, which are designed to help those companies protect their assets. With the additional
of SideChannel, we now employ what we believe to be among the market’s most skilled and experienced talent to help our clients
to improve their defenses against cybercrime. With the SideChannel acquisition, we now have over 20 C-suite level information security
officers, who possess combined experience of over 400 years in the industry. To date, SideChannel has created over 50 multi-layered cybersecurity
programs for its clients.
Our
mission is to make cybersecurity easy and accessible for mid-market companies, a market that we believe is currently underserved. We
believe that our cybersecurity offerings will identify and develop cybersecurity, privacy and risk management solutions for our customers.
We anticipate that our target customers will continue to need cost effective security solutions. We intend to provide more tech-enabled
services to address the needs of our customers, including third-party risk management, due diligence, privacy, threat intelligence, and
managed end-point security solutions.
We
believe that our customers, and prospective customers, in the mid-market will favor our approach, as it provides them with an efficient
way to work with a single vendor to manage and oversee their cybersecurity programs. We also believe that our approach will reduce our
customers’ overall security costs and streamline their ability to increase their sales, reduce regulatory risks and monitor their
risk posture.
We
believe that we provide a full range of cybersecurity solutions through our in-house delivery capabilities, and through our network of
subcontractors. We work with our clients to help them select the right cybersecurity tools, products, and solutions. We believe that
our use of subcontractors allows us to quickly move directly into implementation of projects, which we believe reduces the risk to our
customer. Our subcontractors also provide us with sales leads and referrals, and may resell our services to their own client base. We
believe that this allows us to maximize our sales efforts, reduce expense of sales, and gain new customers.
Prior
to our acquisition of SideChannel, we offered our customers a license to use our Polymorphic Encryption Core (“PEC”), which
is a secure, advanced polymorphic data-in-motion product. Recently, one licensee, Castle Shield, began to report early-stage product
sales from its software tools that contain our PEC.
To
supplement our legacy licensing program, we are building our own applications that we intend to sell directly to enterprises and managed
security service providers. On February 14, 2022, we announced the launch of Enclave, our first internally developed product.
Enclave
is a product designed to be an easy-to-use platform for organizations that are seeking to control communication between devices; and
to fully encrypt traffic between those devices. Enclave is designed to provide a simple and cost-effective solution for multiple devices,
as compared to current complex cost-prohibitive solutions, which we believe require technical personnel to operate. Enclave is designed
to make micro-segmentation available to everyone at a low cost, and with minimum technical administration.
The
Enclave platform is available through a free plan or a fee per user plan, designed to fit the needs of the two types of end users of
the platform. The free plan will give individual users the ability to use the platform for hobby and educational purposes. The fee per
user plan will focus on business users, allowing them to have a more private experience that addresses security and optimization gaps
that we believe many companies face in today’s ever-changing technology environment.
We
anticipate that we will need between $2.0 million and $2.7 million of cash to cover our operating expenses for the next twelve months.
We expect to cover those expenses with the net proceeds we received from a private placement of our securities in the first quarter of
our fiscal year 2021. We further anticipate that the SideChannel acquisition may mitigate or reduce our use of cash for operating expenses.
We intend to manage our business such that our current cash reserves will be sufficient to allow us to reach positive cash flow from
our operations, but we cannot assure you that will occur.

Results
of Operations
Three
Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2021
Our
revenue was $198 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to zero revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The revenue
in fiscal 2022 was related to our licensing agreement with Castle Shield.
Our
general and administrative expense was $1,107,310 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $197,534 for the three months
ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $909,776, or 461%. The increase was driven by several factors including: (i) $479,075 in costs related
to the SideChannel acquisition; (ii) an increase in headcount related expenses of $335,232; and (iii) a $45,000 increase in the amortization
of deferred costs related to private placement fees. The increase in general and administrative expense was partially offset by (i) a
reduction of $441,597 as a result of a recognized gain related to the write-off of remaining right-of-use (ROU) assets and operating
lease liability after the early termination of our final operating lease; and (ii) decreases in other items, including a reduction of
$192,732 in legal expense, as well as a decrease of $168,765 in rent expense.
Our
selling and marketing expenses were $82,548 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to zero for the three months ended June
30, 2021. Our sales and marketing expenses in fiscal 2022 include (i) consultant expenses of $37,500, (ii) $34,875 in brand and website
marketing costs, and (iii) stock compensation expense of $10,173.
Our
research and development expenses were $191,258 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $169,098 for the three months ended
June 30, 2021, an increase of $22,160 or 13%. The increase was primarily due to a $58,020 increase in development expenses, as well as
a $26,672 increase in personnel related costs. These increases were partially offset by a $62,532 decrease in consultant expenses.
Our
other income (expense) was zero for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to other income of $191,052 for the three months ended
June 30, 2021. The other income in fiscal 2021 was related to the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, partial loan forgiveness we received,
partially offset by a minor amount of interest expense.
Nine
Months Ended June 30, 2022, Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2021
Our
revenue was $449 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $15,417 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of
$14,968, or 97%. The reduction in our revenue in fiscal 2022 was due to low sales activity from our licensees during the nine months
ended June 30, 2022.
Our
general and administrative expense was $2,183,340 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1,748,398 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $434,942, or 25%. The increase in our general and administrative expense was driven by several factors
including: (i) $479,075 in SideChannel acquisition related costs in fiscal 2022; (ii) an increase in headcount related expenses of $232,384;
and (iii) a $135,000 increase in the amortization of deferred costs related to private placements fees. These increases in general and
administrative expense were partially offset by decreases in other items, including (i) a reduction of $441,597 in general and administrative
expense in fiscal 2021 as a result of a gain we recognized related to the write-off of our remaining right-of-use (ROU) assets and an
operating lease liability after the early termination of our final operating lease; (ii) a reduction of $356,602 in legal expense; (iii)
a decrease of $302,811 in rent expense and (iv) a decrease in professional fees of $165,485.
Our
selling and marketing expense was $188,316 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $56,250 for the nine months ended June
30, 2021, an increase of $132,066, or 235%. The increase in our sales and marketing expense was the result of several factors including:
(i) an increase of $112,500 in consultant expenses; and (ii) an increase of $64,625 in brand and website marketing costs. These increased
selling and marketing expenses were partially offset by a $45,059 decrease in headcount related costs during fiscal 2021 that were not
incurred in the current fiscal year.

Table of Contents
Our
research and development expense were $461,816 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $465,974 for the nine months ended
June 30, 2021, a decrease of $4,158 or 1%. The slight reduction in our research and development expense was primarily the result of a
$134,786 decrease in consulting related costs, resulting from the spending reductions we initiated during the prior fiscal year. This
cost reduction was partially offset by an increase in payroll related expense of $72,608 and an increase of $58,020 in product development
expenses.
Our
other income (expense) was zero for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, compared to other income of $191,052 for the nine months ended
June 30, 2021. The other income in fiscal 2021 was related to the partial forgiveness of our PPP loan, partially offset by a minor amount
of interest expense.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
had an accumulated deficit of $74,363,914 as of June 30, 2022. We expect to continue to incur expenses, and generate continued operating
losses, until we can generate revenues that are sufficient to cover our expected ongoing expenses. We anticipate that our operating expenses
for the next twelve months will require between $2.0 million and $2.7 million of cash. We expect to cover those expenses with some of
the net proceeds we received from a private placement of our equity securities in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2021. We further
anticipate the SideChannel acquisition will mitigate or reduce our use of cash for operating expenses. We intend to manage our business
so that our current cash reserves will be sufficient to allow us to reach positive cash flow from our operations, but we cannot assure
you that will occur. We do not currently have access to any credit facilities and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to access
any credit facilities if needed.
On
June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,588,912, primarily representing proceeds from the private placement of shares of
our common stock in March and April of 2021.
As
of June 30, 2022, we had working capital of $3,010,376, compared to working capital of $4,756,094 as of September 30, 2021.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
During

or future effect on our financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources
that is material to our interests.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Our management
bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions. As of June 30, 2022, there have been
no significant changes to the accounting estimates and assumptions that we have deemed critical in the past. Our critical accounting
estimates and assumptions are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year 2021.

3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Pursuant
to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), we are not required to provide the information required by this Item, as we are
a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
As
required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Our
disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in
reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon that evaluation, our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end
of the period covered by this quarterly report, at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During
the nine months ended June 30, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, including any corrective actions regarding
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
Limitations
on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design
of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that our management is required
to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
PART
II
OTHER
INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From
time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our
business.
Such
current litigation or other legal proceedings are described in, and incorporated by reference into, this “Part II - Item 1. Legal
Proceedings” from “Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements” in the notes to financial statements in “ Litigation ”
in Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies. We believe that the resolution of currently pending matters will not individually or
in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, assessment of current litigation
or other legal claims could change in light of the discovery of facts not presently known to us, or by decisions of judges, juries or
other finders of fact, that are not in accord with our evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.
Additionally,
the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. If one or more legal matters are resolved against us in a reporting period for amounts
in excess of our expectations, our financial condition and operating results for that reporting period could be materially adversely
affected.
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
There
have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended September 30, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 21, 2021, under the heading “ Risk
Factors. ” [Should these be updated to reflect the acquisition?]
