SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all projected operational matters, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K, should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that any of our objectives or plans will be achieved or that any of our operating expectations will be realized.  Our revenues and results of operations are difficult to forecast and could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K, as a result of certain risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, our business reliance on third parties to provide us with technology, our ability to integrate and manage acquired technology, assets, companies and personnel, changes in market condition, the volatile and intensely competitive environment in the business sectors in which we operate, rapid technological change, and our dependence on key and scarce employees in a competitive market for skilled personnel.  These factors should not be considered exhaustive; we undertake no obligation to release publicly the results of any future revisions we may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

PART I

Except for historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, statements regarding our business strategy, future revenues and anticipated costs and expenses.  Such forward-looking statements include, among others, those statements including the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes” and similar language.  Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section “Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.  We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances taking place after the date of this document.

Item 1.

Business.

The Company

We were initially incorporated on November 4, 1999, as Menu Sites, Inc., a Florida corporation.  On March 9, 2001, we changed our name to CNE Communications, Inc.  On October 1, 2004, we changed our name to CNE Industries, Inc.  On March 29, 2005, we changed our name to GlobalTel IP, Inc.  On May 9, 2008, we changed our name to Cleartronic, Inc.

All of our operations are conducted through our wholly owned subsidiaries, VoiceInterop, Inc., a Florida corporation, incorporated on November 13, 2007, and ReadyOp Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation, incorporated on September 15, 2014, which facilitate the marketing and sales of ReadyOp™ software, discussed below.

Business Overview

We do not currently have sufficient capital to conduct the present or proposed business activities described below.  The costs to operate our business are approximately $60,000 per month.  In order for us to cover our monthly operating expenses, we must generate revenues of approximately $120,000 per month.  Accordingly, in the absence of revenues, we must secure $60,000 in equity or debt capital each month to cover our overhead expenses.  In order to remain in business for one year without any revenues, we must secure $720,000 in equity or debt capital.  If we are unsuccessful in securing sufficient capital or revenues, we will be unable to continue any business activities.  We have not obtained any commitments for additional capital, and we may not be able to obtain any additional capital on terms not unfavorable to us, if at all.

From March 2005 to October 2007, we were primarily engaged in providing telecommunications services to our customers employing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology.  In October 2007, we sold substantially all of our assets utilized in that business.  Prior to 2005, we were a website development company.

We are now a provider of Internet Protocol, or IP, unified group communication solutions.  The products used in our solutions include our own proprietary products as well as products from other software and hardware vendors.

We have designed and customized standards based audio and voice collaboration solutions for prospective customers as part of a unified group communication system.  We consider all aspects of a potential customer’s information technology resources and existing telecommunications network in creating a design best suited for that customer.  In 2013, we developed our own proprietary group communication solution and have built and installed four of these solutions as of the filing date of this report.  Prior to developing our own solution we used WAVE software as the core component.  We have designed, built and installed 18 unified group communication solutions as of the filing date of this report, 14 of which utilize WAVE software.  In November 2013, we discontinued using WAVE software as a component in our unified communication solution installations.

Revenues have been generated from the design, construction and installation of the group communication systems.  We have also generated revenues from maintenance and support contracts, once a unified group communication solution has been installed and tested.  While we no longer sell WAVE based systems we will continue to support the installations that we have previously installed.  We also sell our proprietary line of Internet Protocol Gateway which we have branded the AudioMate 360 IP Gateway, discussed below.  These units are currently being sold directly to end-users and by Value Added Resellers (“VARs”).  As of the date of this filing, we have approximately 10 active VARs, and we have sold our gateways to more than 1,000 end-users in the United States and 18 foreign countries.

Prior to and subsequent to sales we have made to four airport authorities, we have had discussions with approximately 10 other airport authorities as well as airlines in the United States and abroad to design, build and install voice interoperability solutions.  Those discussions have not resulted in any sales.

We have developed an Internet Protocol Gateway which we call the AudioMate 360 IP Gateway.  The AudioMate 360 IP Gateway has been designed to provide an Internet Protocol Gateway to users of unified group communications.  The AudioMate 360 IP Gateway is available in different configurations which enable it to be used with various types of communications equipment.

Although other devices are available that perform the same or similar functions, we believe that our price for the AudioMate 360 IP Gateway is substantially lower than the prices others are presently charging for similar devices.  If we are unable to provide the AudioMate 360 IP Gateway to our prospective customers at substantially lower prices than others are charging for similar gateways, our business will be materially adversely affected.

We do not have any other products at this time.

Our Agreement with Collabria

In March 2015, the Company amended its Licensing Agreement with Collabria LLC of Tampa, Florida (”Collabria”).  The Agreement grants the Company master distribution rights to market, sell and support Collabria’s command and control software, trade-named ReadyOp. ReadyOp software is designed for fast, efficient access to information and for communication with multiple persons, groups and agencies. This agreement will remain in effect for an initial term of five years unless either the Company or Collabria sooner terminates the agreement. Upon expiration of the agreement, the Company’s only obligation to Collabria shall be the payment of all outstanding obligations to Collabria. In September 2014, the Company formed ReadyOp Communications, Inc. (a Florida corporation), as a wholly owned subsidiary to facilitate the marketing of ReadyOp software. According to the terms of the agreement ReadyOp Communications will pay Collabria a royalty for all ReadyOp software sold. Approximately, 44% of the revenues generated during the year ended September 30, 2016 were generated from our licensing agreement with Collabria. If this agreement is terminated it could have a significant impact on revenues.

Need for Unified Group Communications

Unified group communications and coordination within and between agencies for response actions to incidents and emergencies has been a challenge for many years.  The result has been inefficiencies and in some cases the loss of lives, time and money during response activities.  Governmental agencies, hospitals and other organizations experience these same interoperability failures.

We believe that Collabria’s ReadyOp™ software is a new approach to communication, coordination and interoperability that is simple, flexible, low-cost and is already in use by many agencies and enterprises in the governmental and private sectors.

Collabria’s ReadyOp™ Software

ReadyOp is a simple, innovative web-based planning and communications platform for efficiently and effectively planning, managing, communicating, and directing activities within a single organization or in a unified command structure.  ReadyOp is a comprehensive solution with multiple means of communications in a single program, including interoperable communications for radios and other devices.  ReadyOp’s flexibility supports daily operations, exercises and response activities including multi-agency and multi-location operations.  ReadyOp is a single platform that provides communications, coordination, collaboration and critical response capabilities for first responders and other organizations.

Communication challenges and coordination failures within and between organizations have been well documented and remain a part of the final report for most every exercise and major incident.  This is especially evident when multiple agencies are involved in a response effort.  In 2003, Homeland Security Presidential Directive-5 (HSPD-5) created the National Incident Management System (NIMS).  NIMS is intended to provide a consistent template for government, private sector, and nongovernment organizations to work together during incidents and emergencies.

NIMS was used to create the Incident Command System (ICS) for first responders.  ICS is essentially an organizational chart with assigned roles for responsibilities during incident response.  Each role has assigned tasks to be accomplished, the goal being that all persons assuming the various roles complete their assigned tasks.  Use of ICS is mandated for all law enforcement, fire and other government agencies at all levels plus seaports, airports, universities and hospitals.  ReadyOp was initially designed based on the structure of ICS, but has evolved into a full response and communications platform.

Patents and Intellectual Property

If we are able to continue our business activities, our business will be dependent on our intellectual property, some of which we have developed for our software and hardware applications.  We do not have any trade secret confidentiality agreements.  For projects that are in development, we intend to rely on intellectual property rights afforded by trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements, to establish and protect our rights to our technology and other intellectual property.  We cannot foretell if these procedures and arrangements will be adequate in protecting our intellectual property.

We have filed a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in connection with various configurations of our AudioMate 360 IP Gateway.  We may file similar patent applications in additional countries.  The claims in the patent application relate to various aspects of the AudioMate 360 IP Gateway.  On March 13, 2012, the United States Patent Office notified us that U.S. Patent number 8,135,001 B1 had been granted for the 34 claims of our patent application for Multi Ad Hoc Interoperable Communicating Networks.  It may be that one or more of our claims are not meaningful.  Furthermore, the validity of issued patents is frequently challenged by others.  One or more patent applications may have been filed by others previous to our filing, which encompass the same or similar claims.

A patent application does not in and of itself grant exclusive rights.  A patent application must be reviewed by the Patent Office of each relevant country prior to issuing as a patent and granting exclusive rights.



5


We do not have any trademarks.

Because of our limited resources, we may be unable to protect a patent, either owned or licensed, or to challenge others who may infringe upon a patent.  Because many holders of patents in our industry have substantially greater resources than we do and patent litigation is very expensive, we may not have the resources necessary to successfully challenge the validity of patents held by others or withstand claims of infringement or challenges to any patent we may obtain.  Even if we prevail, the cost and management distraction of litigation could have a material adverse affect on us.

Because Internet Protocol Gateways and their related manufacturing processes are covered by a large number of patents and patent applications, infringement actions may be instituted against us if we use or are suspected of using technology, processes or other subject matter that is claimed under patents of others.  An adverse outcome in any future patent dispute could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require disputed rights to be licensed or require us to cease using the infringed technology.

If trade secrets and other means of protection upon which we rely may not adequately protect us, our intellectual property could become available to others.  Although we may rely on trade secrets, copyright law, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and other protective measures to protect some of our intellectual property, these measures may not provide meaningful protection to us.

The laws of many foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States, if at all.

Rapid Technological Change Could Render Our Products Obsolete

Our markets are characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, uncertain product life cycles, changes in customer requirements, and evolving industry standards.  The introduction of new products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards could render our existing products obsolete.  Our future success will depend upon our ability to continue to develop and introduce a variety of new products and product enhancements to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers.  We may experience delays in releasing new products and product enhancements in the future.  Material delays in introducing new products or product enhancements may cause customers to forego purchases of our products and purchase those of our competitors.

Seasonality of Our Business

We do not anticipate that our business will be affected by seasonal factors.

Impact of Inflation

We are affected by inflation along with the rest of the economy.  Specifically, our costs to complete our products could rise if specific components needed incur a rise in cost.

Manufacturing and Suppliers

We have outsourced the manufacturing of our AudioMate 360 IP Gateway.  This outsourcing has allowed us to:

·

Avoid costly capital expenditures for the establishment of manufacturing operations;

·

Focus on the design, development, sales and support of our hardware products; and

·

Leverage the scale, expertise and purchasing power of specialized contract manufacturers.



6



Currently, we have arrangements for the production of our gateways with a contract manufacturer in Florida.  Our reliance on contract manufacturers involves a number of potential risks, including the absence of adequate capacity, ownership of certain elements of electronic designs, and reduced control over delivery schedules.  Our contract manufacturers can provide us with a range of operational and manufacturing services, including component procurement and performing final testing and assembly of our products.  We intend to depend on our contract manufacturers to procure components and to maintain adequate manufacturing capacity.

We have also relied on a small number of suppliers for several key components utilized in the assembly of our AudioMate 360 IP Gateway.  For example, our contract manufacturer has purchased a key component that is essential to the production of our gateways from a single source supplier.  We have not identified any alternative suppliers for that component.  Our contract manufacturer has maintained relatively low inventories and acquired components only as needed.  As a result, our ability to efficiently respond to customer orders, if any, may be constrained by, among other things, the then-current availability or terms and pricing of necessary components.  We may be unable to obtain a sufficient quantity of these components in a timely manner to meet the demands of our customers.  In addition, we have no control over the prices of these components.  Any delays or any disruption of the supply of these components could also materially and adversely affect our operating results.

Competition

The unified group communications industry is extremely competitive.  Over the past year, the number of companies entering our industry has increased dramatically.  Competitive pricing pressures can negatively impact profit margins, if any.  Competitors include Cisco Systems, Inc., Tyco Electronics Ltd., Catalyst Communications Technologies, Inc., Telex, Inc., Federal Signal Corporation and Mutual-Link, Inc. as well as Motorola and its authorized dealers.  These and other potential competitors are generally large and well capitalized and have substantially more experience than we do in our industry.  Consequently, in order for Cleartronic to be successful in its intended operations, it must be able to compete effectively against its competitors.  If Cleartronic cannot effectively compete for whatever reason, we will not be successful.

Sales and Marketing

We have marketed our unified group communication solutions and AudioMate 360 IP Gateway through a commissioned sales person.  The majority of our sales leads have come through sales persons, VARs and our website.  If we are able to continue our business activities, we intend to expand the use of commissioned sales representatives to market and sell the ReadyOp™ software solution along with our AudioMate 360 IP Gateway line of Internet Protocol Gateways.  We will continue to use our network of VARs to market our AudioMate 360 IP Gateway.

 

Key Personnel of Cleartronic

Our future financial success depends to a large degree upon the personal efforts of our key personnel.  Richard J. Martin, our Chairman and Director, Michael. M. Moore, our Chief Executive Officer and Director, and Larry M. Reid, our President, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, and Secretary and Director, and their intended designees will play the major roles in securing the services of those persons deemed capable to develop and execute upon our business strategy.  While we intend to employ additional executive, development, and technical personnel in order to minimize the critical dependency upon any one person, we may not be successful in attracting and retaining the persons needed.

At present, Cleartronic has two executive officers, Larry M. Reid and Michael M. Moore.  In March 2015, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with the Company’s CEO, Larry M. Reid (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, Mr. Reid agreed to remit 2.0 billion shares of common stock back to the Company in exchange for 200,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred stock with a fair value of $252,000.

 

Unless Cleartronic shall have given Mr. Reid and Mr. Moore written notice at least 30 days prior to the Termination Date, the Agreement shall automatically renew and continue in effect for additional one-year periods, provided, however, that we may, at our election at any time after the expiration of the initial term of the Agreement, give Mr. Reid notice of Termination.  

Mr. Reid will be paid a base salary of $8,000 per month.  A copy of the employment agreement with Mr. Reid has been previously filed on March 18, 2015 with the SEC as an exhibit to a Form 8-K.  See “Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.”

 

7

 

The Company entered into an employment with Mr. Moore on December 20, 2016 with an effective date of November 28, 2016 The agreement provides a base salary of $16,667 per month. A copy of the employment agreement with Mr. Moore is attached as an exhibit to this Form10-K report.

Adequacy of Working Capital for Cleartronic

We estimate that we will need at least $720,000 to continue operations over the next 12 months.  We will apply great efforts to raise through equity or debt offerings what we feel is sufficient working capital for our intended business plan by various means.  If we are not able to raise additional capital, we will not be able to continue operations and our business may fail.

The Financial Results for Cleartronic May Be Affected by Factors Outside of Our Control

Our future operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control.  Our anticipated expense levels are based, in part, on our estimates of future revenues and may vary from projections.  We may be unable to adjust spending rapidly enough to compensate for any unexpected revenues shortfall.  Accordingly, any significant shortfall in revenues in relation to our planned expenditures would materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.  Further, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily a meaningful indication of future performance.

Employees

As of the date of this report, we have five employees, Marc Moore, our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Larry M. Reid, our President, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Secretary, and  Director, James Concannon, Sales Director VoiceInterop, Inc., John Ohl, Engineering Director ReadyOp Communications, Inc. and Gene Hubbard, Technical Assistant ReadyOp Communications, Inc.

Properties.

We lease approximately 1,700 square feet for our principal offices in Boca Raton, Florida, from an unaffiliated party at a monthly rental of approximately $3,200.  The lease expires on November 30, 2018.

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings.

Cleartronic is not engaged in any litigation at the present time, and management is unaware of any claims or complaints that could result in future litigation.  Management will seek to minimize disputes with our customers but recognizes the inevitability of legal action in today’s business environment as an unfortunate price of conducting business.

Dividends

We have not paid or declared any dividends on our common stock, nor do we anticipate paying any cash dividends or other distributions on our common stock in the foreseeable future.  Any future dividends will be declared at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend, among other things, on our earnings, if any, our financial requirements for future operations and growth, and other facts as our board of directors may then deem appropriate.  See “Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters,” for a description of our preferred stock and dividend rights pertaining to the preferred stock.

The Company is obligated to pay dividends on its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Each Series A Preferred Holder is entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 8% of $1.00 per annum for each outstanding share of Series A Preferred then held by such Series A Preferred Holder, on a pro rata basis.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ TOGETHER WITH THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K.

The following discussion reflects our plan of operation.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements which are attached to this report.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our expected financial position, business and financing plans.  These statements involve risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this report, particularly under the headings “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Unless the context otherwise suggests, “we,” “our,” “us,” and similar terms, as well as references to “Cleartronic,” all refer to Cleartronic, Inc. and our subsidiaries as of the date of this report.

Going Concern

On September 30, 2016, we had current assets of $52,803 and current liabilities of $517,359.  Our independent certified public accountants have stated in their report on our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year end that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  In the absence of significant revenue and profits, we will be completely dependent on additional debt and equity financing.  If we are unable to raise needed funds on acceptable terms, we will not be able to execute our business plan, develop or enhance existing services, take advantage of future opportunities, if any, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements.  If we do not obtain sufficient capital, we will not be able to continue operations.

As of September 30, 2016, Cleartronic had an accumulated deficit of $14,652,520, which included a net loss of $577,603 reported for the year ended September 30, 2016.  Also, during the year ended September 30, 2016, we used net cash of $49,063 for operating activities.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

While we are attempting to generate revenues, our cash position may not be significant enough to support our daily operations.  Management intends to raise additional funds by way of an offering of our debt or equity securities.  Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement our business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for Cleartronic to continue as a going concern.  While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, we may not be successful.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our capability to further implement our business plan and generate revenues.

Results of Operations

Year Ended September 30, 2016, Compared to Year Ended September 30, 2015.

Revenues.  Revenues increased 57% to $544,782 in 2016, from $346,518 during 2015.  This increase of approximately $198,000 was primarily due to increased sales of ReadyOp hardware and software generated through our subsidiary ReadyOp Communications, Inc. Revenue from our other subsidiary, VoiceInterop, Inc., increased by approximately 10% to $250,942.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margins.  Cost of revenues increased from $137,973 in 2015, to $179,675 in 2016.  Gross margins increased to 67% or $365,017 in 2016 compared with 60% or $208,545 in 2015.  The primary reason for the increase in gross margin was due to increased sales of proprietary and ReadyOp software and hardware which generates higher margins than sales of third party hardware and software.

Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses decreased approximately 51% in 2016, to $825,156 compared to $1,681,377 during 2015.  Operating expenses include selling expenses, administrative expenses, research and development costs and amortization and impairment loss of licensing agreement.  This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in amortization and impairment loss of licensing agreement which was offset the recognition of $112,960 in  additional selling expenses .



13


 

Selling Expenses.  Selling expenses increased approximately 300% from $36,975 in 2015, to $149,935 in 2016, primarily due to increased commission expense paid to outside sales consultants.  Administrative expenses decreased approximately 2% from $273,495 in 2015, to $267,917 in 2016, primarily due to a decrease in management and investment banking fees paid to outside consultants.

Research and Development Expenses.  Research and development expenses increased approximately 274% to $14,636 in 2016, from $3,907 in 2015, due to additional development expense related to expansion of efforts in developing new products.

Amortization Expenses.  Amortization expense was $139,668 in 2016 and $200,000 in 2015. The amortization expense incurred in 2016 and 2015 was a result of the licensing agreement entered into in March of 2015 with Collabria LLC to become the master distributor of Collabria’s ReadyOp software and hardware.  The agreement is being amortized over the 5 year term of the agreement.

Impairment Expense.  In March 2015, the Company amended its Licensing Agreement with Collabria, which will remain in effect for an initial term of five years unless either the Company or Collabria sooner terminates the agreement. The amendment reduces the royalty to be paid on a sale from 80% to 20%. As consideration for entering into the agreement and the reduction of the stated royalty, the Company issued Collabria 25,000,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $.08 per share (Note 6). The Company amortizes this licensing agreement over its remaining life on a straight line basis.  

  

The Company evaluates licensing rights for impairment when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is reasonably possible that impairment may exist. As of September 30, 2016, management determined that sales of ReadyOp products had failed to meet the projected revenue targets and that the carrying value of the license agreement exceeded the fair value. Accordingly management revised the estimate of undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the licensing agreement and incurred an impairment loss of $253,000 for the year ended September 30, 2016.  The Company also recognized an impairment loss of $1,167,000 on the licensing agreement for the year ended September 30, 2015. The Company recorded $139,668 and $200,000 in amortization expense prior to the impairment recognition for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 

 

Loss on Conversion of Debt. In March 2015, the Company issue 670,094 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred stock as consideration for the forgiveness of $135,012 in notes payable, $59,608 in accrued interest and $140,832 in accrued dividends. The fair value of the Series D preferred stock was $825,212 resulting in a loss on forgiveness of debt of $489,758. There was no loss on conversion of debt in 2016.

Interest and Other Expense.   Interest and other expense decreased slightly from $91,176 in 2015 to $87,102 in 2016. The increase was primarily due to interest expense associated with two short term convertible notes entered into in 2015. The Company also incurred $30,362 of change in fair value of derivative liability associated with the issuance of a convertible note payable in 2016.

Net Loss.  Net losses were $577,603 and $2,053,767 for 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3,053 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, to $3,103.  Net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, was $49,063 as compared to $155,339 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, due primarily to the loss incurred on conversion of debt in 2015.   We funded our operating activities during the most recent fiscal year through financing activities that generated net proceeds of approximately $46,010.



14


At September 30, 2016, our total liabilities were $652,997, which included $434,360 in accounts payable, $35,347 in accrued expenses, $132,676 in notes payable stockholders, and $50,614 in deferred revenue.

Based on our continued unified communication installations and the development of our AudioMate 360 IP Gateway, we have developed a business plan.  The business plan calls for us to continue to market and sell unified communications hardware and software directly to enterprise customers.  In addition, we intend to market our AudioMate 360 IP Gateway both directly to clients and through VARs.  Our VARs have introduced us to customers in the past, and we will continue to rely on them to introduce us to additional customers.  We intend to market the ReadyOp™ software through commissioned sales representatives.  We believe these sales will increase the sales of the AudioMate 360 IP Gateway.  Our business plan further calls for us to seek additional VARs such as consulting firms, equipment manufacturers and communications companies.

We believe that in order to fund our business plan, we will need approximately $720,000 in new equity or debt capital.  In the past, in addition to revenues and deferred revenues, we have obtained funds from the private sale of our debt and equity securities.  We have also had discussions with several securities broker-dealers with respect to a private or public offering of our securities.  Although none of such discussions has resulted in any funding, we intend to continue to have such discussions in the future.  We also intend to continue to seek private financing from certain of our existing stockholders and others.

Our current operating expenses are approximately $60,000 per month.  In order for us to cover our monthly operating expenses, we must generate approximately $120,000 per month in revenue.  Accordingly, in the absence of sufficient revenues, we must raise $60,000 in equity or debt capital each month to cover our overhead expenses.  In order to remain in business for one year without any revenues, we must secure $720,000 in equity or debt capital.  If we are unsuccessful in securing sufficient capital or revenues, we will be unable to continue our business activities.

This included proceeds from the issuance of shares, proceeds from convertible notes and proceeds from notes payable stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses.  These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies.  Critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and impairment of long-lived assets.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenues. Unified group communication solutions consist of three elements to be provided to customers: software licenses and equipment purchased from third-party vendors, proprietary hardware that is manufactured on contract to required specifications and installation and integration of the hardware and software into the cohesive communication source.


The Company's revenue recognition policies are in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 605-10 “Revenue Recognition” (ASC 605-10). Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the contract price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. No right of return privileges are granted to customers after shipment. The Company recognizes revenue for the elements separately as the sales of the equipment and software, installation and integration, and support services represent separate earnings processes that are generally specified under separate agreements.


Revenue from the resale of equipment utilized in unified group communication solutions is recognized when shipped. For software licenses, the Company does not provide any services that are considered essential to the functionality of the software, and therefore revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software, provided (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) collection of the fee is considered probable and (3) the fee is fixed and determinable.


The Company also provides support to customers under separate contracts varying from one to five years. The Company’s obligations under its service contracts vary by the length of the contract. In all cases the Company is the primary obligor to provide first level support to the client. If the contract has less than one year of service and support remaining on the contract, it is classified as a current liability; if longer, it is classified as a non-current liability.




16

 


Installation and integration services are recognized upon completion.


  Inventory. Inventory consists of finished goods to be shipped along with completed circuit boards and parts necessary for final assembly of finished product. All existing inventory is considered current and usable and no reserve for obsolescence was carried for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.


Derivative Instruments The Company evaluates its convertible debt, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 810-10-05-4 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and paragraph 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the Statement of Operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

 

In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015 there were no derivative liabilities.

 

Licensing Agreement  The Company amortizes this licensing agreement over its remaining life on a straight line basis. The Company evaluates licensing rights for impairment when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is reasonably possible that impairment may exist.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 718-10 “Compensation” (ASC 718-10) using the modified retrospective transition method. ASC 718-10 (formerly SFAS 123R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service periods. The Company has estimated the fair value of each award as of the date of grant or assumption using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and that are freely transferable. The Black-Scholes option pricing model considers, among other factors, the expected life of the award and the expected volatility of the Company's stock price. In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment ("SAB 107"), which provides guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10.


The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of section 505-50-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC Section 505-50-30”).  Pursuant to FASB ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

Item 9A.

Controls and Procedures.

See Item 9A(T) below.

Item 9A(T).

Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure and Controls and Procedures.  We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined) in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15(c) and 15d – 15(e)).  Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period ended September 30, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective (1) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to us, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a, et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



19



Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the registrant have been detected.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The term internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

·

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

·

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and

·

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2016.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued in 2013.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  There have been no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting through the date of this report or during the period ended September 30, 2016, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

Independent Registered Accountant’s Internal Control Attestation.  This report does not include an attestation report of the registrant’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the registrant’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the registrant to provide only management’s report in this report.

Remediation plans for material weaknesses over internal controls.  Our plans to mitigate material weaknesses in disclosure controls and procedures for future filings will be dependent on our ability to obtain adequate financing to fund development of our financial reporting infrastructure.  At this time it is not cost beneficial for us to utilize capital to focus on mitigating financial reporting weaknesses; however, we expect to implement a plan for remediation of these deficiencies when sufficient funding to implement such a plan is available.

The members of our board of directors are subject to change from time to time by the vote of the stockholders at special or annual meetings to elect directors.  Our current board of directors consists of four directors, who have expertise in the business of Cleartronic.  Upon receipt of sufficient funds either from revenues or through receipt of funds from debt or sales of our common stock and preferred stock, we intend to seek directors and officers who would be able to assist in the execution of our business plan.

The foregoing notwithstanding, except as otherwise provided in any resolution or resolutions of the board, directors who are elected at an annual meeting of stockholders, and directors elected in the interim to fill vacancies and newly created directorships, will hold office for the term for which elected and until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or any series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors pursuant to any resolution or resolutions of the board, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series thereof may generally be filled by a majority of the directors elected by such class or classes or series then in office, by a sole remaining director so elected or by the unanimous written consent or the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series entitled to elect such director or directors.  Officers are elected annually by the directors.  There are no family relationships among our directors and officers.

We may employ additional management personnel, as our board of directors deems necessary.  Cleartronic has not identified or reached an agreement or understanding with any other individuals to serve in management positions, but does not anticipate any problem in employing qualified staff.

A description of the business experience for the directors and executive officers of Cleartronic is set forth below.

 Richard J. Martin currently serves as Chairman and Director of Cleartronic, Inc. Prior to joining the Cleartronic team, Martin served as CEO of SMARTLogix, Inc., a petroleum logistics technology company which he founded in 2000. With Martin at the helm for 15 years, SMARTLogix was positioned as the dominant player in the market and was acquired by a private equity firm in 2015. Graduating with an Engineering degree from The University of Buffalo’s School of Engineering, Martin was immediately recruited by Exxon to join their Management Development Program where he quickly rose through the ranks. Following a considerable tenure at Exxon, he leaped into entrepreneurship by purchasing a small Exxon distributorship in the Carolinas. As a result of his capable management, Culp Petroleum was transformed into a large southeast regional distribution company. While at Culp, Martin developed and implemented several disruptive technologies that have since become industry standards. Martin sold the petroleum business in 2005 and focused his efforts on his technology ventures including the SMARTank division of SMARTLogix. SMARTank grew substantially and the technology was later sold to a public company in 2011. A proven leader in building companies and incorporating innovations, as well as a current member of several boards driving technology and growth, Martin will prove instrumental in guiding Cleartronic’s future.

Committees of the Board

We do not currently have an Audit, Executive, Finance, Compensation, or Nominating Committee, or any other committee of the Board of Directors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, our directors and certain of our officers, and persons holding more than 10 percent of our common stock are required to file forms reporting their beneficial ownership of our common stock and subsequent changes in that ownership with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  Such persons are also required to furnish Cleartronic with copies of all forms so filed.

Based solely upon a review of copies of such forms filed on Forms 3, 4, and 5, and amendments thereto furnished to us, we believe that as of the date of this report, our executive officers, directors and greater than 10 percent beneficial owners have not complied on a timely basis with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Cleartronic, Inc. and Subsidiaries,

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cleartronic, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended September 30, 2015. Cleartronic, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amount and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cleartronic, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended September 30, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has had recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CLEARTRONIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2016 and 2015



NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


 

ORGANIZATION

 

Cleartronic, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Florida on November 15, 1999.

 

The Company, through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries VoiceInterop, Inc., designs, builds and installs unified group communication solutions, including unique hardware and customized software, for public and private enterprises and markets those services and products under the VoiceInterop brand name.

 

In March 2015, the Company amended its Licensing Agreement with Collabria LLC of Tampa, Florida (”Collabria”).  The Agreement grants the Company master distribution rights to market, sell and support Collabria’s command and control software, trade-named ReadyOp. ReadyOp software is designed for fast, efficient access to information and for communication with multiple persons, groups and agencies. This agreement will remain in effect for an initial term of five years unless either the Company or Collabria sooner terminates the agreement. Upon expiration of the agreement, the Company’s only obligation to Collabria shall be the payment of all outstanding obligations to Collabria. In September 2014, the Company formed ReadyOp Communications, Inc. (a Florida corporation), as a wholly owned subsidiary to facilitate the marketing of ReadyOp software. According to the terms of the agreement ReadyOp Communications will pay Collabria a royalty for all ReadyOp software sold.

 

The Company’s two operating subsidiaries are Voiceinterop, Inc. and ReadyOp Communications, Inc.

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cleartronic, Inc. and its subsidiaries, VoiceInterop, Inc. and ReadyOp Communications, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and operations for the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results. Significant estimates include the assumptions used in valuation of, equity transactions, valuation of fair value of derivative liability, valuation of deferred tax assets, estimated useful life of licensing agreement, valuation of inventory and allowance for doubtful account.

 

 

F-7

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not own any cash equivalents at September 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

The Company provides an allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon a periodic review and analysis of outstanding accounts receivable balances. Uncollectible receivables are charged to the allowance when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are used to credit the allowance account in the periods in which the recoveries are made.

 

The Company has an Accounts Receivable Purchase and Security Agreement with Bridgeport Capital Resources of Birmingham, AL. Under the terms of the agreement the Company sells certain acceptable accounts receivable to Bridgeport Capital at a discount to the receivable face value. Discounts can range between 2.25 and 6.25 percent depending on the length of time the receivable remains outstanding.

 

The Company provided $2,000 and $0 allowances for doubtful accounts for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.


LICENSING AGREEMENT

 

In March 2015, the Company amended its Licensing Agreement with Collabria,       which will remain in effect for an initial term of five years unless either the Company or Collabria sooner terminates the agreement. The amendment reduces the royalty to be paid on a sale from 80% to 20%. As consideration for entering into the agreement and the reduction of the stated royalty, the Company issued Collabria 25,000,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $.08 per share (Note 6). The Company amortizes this licensing agreement over its remaining life on a straight line basis.  

  

The Company evaluates licensing rights for impairment when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is reasonably possible that impairment may exist. As of September 30, 2016, management determined that sales of ReadyOp products had failed to meet the projected revenue targets and that the carrying value of the license agreement exceeded the fair value. Accordingly management revised the estimate of undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the licensing agreement and incurred an impairment loss of $253,000 and $1,167,000 for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

The company recorded $139,668 and $200,000 in amortization expense prior to the impairment recognition for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  

 

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

 

The Company currently maintains cash balances at one FDIC-insured banking institution. Deposits held in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are insured up to a maximum of $250,000 at all FDIC-insured institutions. At September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had no cash balances above the FDIC-insured limit, respectively.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

 

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.  For the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $14,636 and $3,907, respectively, in research and development costs.

 

 

F-8

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND DEFERRED REVENUES

 

Unified group communication solutions consist of three elements to be provided to customers: software licenses and equipment purchased from third-party vendors, proprietary hardware that is manufactured on contract to required specifications and installation and integration of the hardware and software into the cohesive communication source.

 

The Company's revenue recognition policies are in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 605-10 “Revenue Recognition” (ASC 605-10). Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the contract price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. No right of return privileges are granted to customers after shipment. The Company recognizes revenue for the elements separately as the sales of the equipment and software, installation and integration, and support services represent separate earnings processes that are generally specified under separate agreements.

 

Revenue from the resale of equipment utilized in unified group communication solutions is recognized when shipped. For software licenses, the Company does not provide any services that are considered essential to the functionality of the software, and therefore revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software, provided (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) collection of the fee is considered probable and (3) the fee is fixed and determinable.

 

The Company also provides support to customers under separate contracts varying from one to five years. The Company’s obligations under its service contracts vary by the length of the contract. In all cases the Company is the primary obligor to provide first level support to the client. If the contract has less than one year of service and support remaining on the contract, it is classified as a current liability; if longer, it is classified as a non-current liability.

 

Installation and integration services are recognized upon completion.


EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC 260 “Earning per Share”, basic income (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods reported. Diluted earnings per share include the weighted average effect of all dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted per share loss is the same as basic per share loss when there is a loss from continuing operations.


As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, we had outstanding options and warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 0 and 167 shares of common stock, respectively.  As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, we had 40,750 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock outstanding convertible into 4,750,000 common shares.  As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, we had 2,563,375 and 2,570,655 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred stock outstanding which are convertible into 12,816,875 and 12,853,275 shares of common stock, respectively. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, we had 670,904 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred stock outstanding which are convertible into 6,709,040  shares of common stock.

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company adopted ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), “Fair Value Measurements,” effective January 1, 2009. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There was no impact relating to the adoption of ASC 820 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

F-9

 

ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

 

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

 

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

 

Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

 

INVENTORY

 

Inventory consists of components held for assembly and finished goods held for resale or to be utilized for installation in projects. Inventory is valued at lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company purchases completed circuit boards at a price that includes component parts and assembly charges. The Company only carries finished goods to be shipped along with completed circuit boards and parts necessary for final assembly of finished product. All existing inventory is considered current and usable and the Company recorded no reserve for obsolete inventory for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. For financial statement purposes depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the asset.

 

Expenditures for replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired, sold or otherwise disposed of, their costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and resulting gains or losses are recognized.

 

As of September 30, 2016 and 2015 all property and equipment had been fully depreciated.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires that the Company recognizes income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

 

 

F-10

 

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a tax rate change on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records valuation allowance to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount considered more likely than not to be realized. Changes in estimates of future taxable income can materially change the amount of such valuation allowances.

 

The Company is required to recognize measure, classify, and disclose in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s tax returns. Management has determined that the Company does not have any uncertain tax positions and associated unrecognized benefits that materially impact the financial statements or related disclosures. Since tax matters are subject to some degree of uncertainty, there can be no assurance that the Company’s tax returns will not be challenged by the taxing authorities and that the Company will not be subject to additional tax penalties, and interest as a result of such challenge. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company for the years ended September 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities generally for three years after they were filed. There are no tax examinations currently in process.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 718-10 “Compensation” (ASC 718-10) using the modified retrospective transition method. ASC 718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service periods. The Company has estimated the fair value of each award as of the date of grant or assumption using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and that are freely transferable. The Black-Scholes option pricing model considers, among other factors, the expected life of the award and the expected volatility of the Company's stock price. In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment ("SAB 107"), which provides guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10.

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of section 505-50-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC Section 505-50-30”).  Pursuant to FASB ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

 

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company evaluates its convertible debt, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 810-10-05-4 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and paragraph 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the Statement of Operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date

and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

 

 

F-11

 

 

In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015 there were no derivative liabilities.

 

ADVERTISING COSTS

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company had advertising costs of $4,275 during the year ended September 30, 2016 and $987 during the year ended September 30, 2015.

 

ADJUSTMENT OF PRIOR PERIOD BALANCES

 

The Company revised its consolidated balance sheet as of October 1, 2014 by recording a reduction in accrued expense of $80,000 and a resulting offset decreasing the Company’s accumulated deficit since the effect of the correction relates to years prior to 2015. The consolidated balance sheets for September 30, 2016 and 2015 presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect this change. The result of this correction did not affect the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Management made the revisions to the accompanying consolidated financial statements because recording the correction in 2016 would have been material to the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2016.

 

RECLASSIFCATION

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s data to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss).

 

 

NOTE 2 -RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which relates to the accounting for employee share-based payments. This standard addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

 

F-12

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–10 Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606): identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing “ .The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

NOTE 3 -GOING CONCERN



 

During the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and since inception, the Company has experienced cash flow problems. From time-to-time, the Company has experienced difficulties meeting its obligations as they became due. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net losses from operations of approximately $460,000 for the year ended September 30, 2016 and had working capital deficit of approximately $465,000 for the year ended September 30, 2016. The Company also had an accumulated deficit of approximately $14,653,000 and a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $351,000 at September 30, 2016.These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company believes the agreement with Collabria will allow the Company to  generate additional income from the sale of ReadyOp software and will assist in expanding the distribution of the AudioMate AM360 line of IP gateway devices. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources.  Management is currently seeking funding from significant shareholders and outside funding sources sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses.   However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 4 -DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

 


The Company calculates its deferred tax assets based upon its consolidated net operating loss (NOL) carryovers available to offset future taxable income, net of other tax credit(s) or tax deferred liabilities, if any. No deferred tax assets for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 have been recorded since any available deferred tax assets are fully offset by increases in its valuation allowances. The Company increased its valuation allowance based on its history of consolidated net losses. At September 30, 2016, the Company has an adjusted net operating loss carryforward of approximately $12,118,000 that expire through 2032. Should a cumulative change in the ownership of more than 50% occur within a three-year period, there could be an annual limitation on the use of the net operating loss carryforwards.

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes plus any available consolidated, net deferred tax credits.  Significant components of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets at September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively are as follows:

Management has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not use the NOL carryforward and has 100% of valuation allowance against the deferred asset. The reserve is based on historical experience of the Company’s operations as it has not recognized net income in its current incarnation and there is no indication of any events or conditions that would show that trend will not continue due to the Company’s current expectation of expense requirements.

The Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreement”) with two investors and issued convertible promissory notes in the amount of $38,000 and $43,000 respectively (the “Notes”).The Notes were dated December 1, 2014 and May 7, 2015, bore interest at 8% per annum and mature on September 3, 2015 and February 11, 2016, respectively. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the greater of; (i) the variable conversion price (58% multiplied by the market price) that is equal to the average of the three (3) lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading day period prior to the date of conversion or (ii) the fixed conversion price of $.00005. The Notes also contain a prepayment option whereby the Company may make payments to the holder based on the length of time the Note has been outstanding, upon three (3) trading days' prior written notice to the holder.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

In connection with the convertible note entered into in December 2014 and May 2015, the Company determined that a beneficial conversion feature existed on the date the note was issued. The beneficial conversion feature related to this note was valued as the difference between the effective conversion price (computed by dividing the relative fair value allocated to the convertible note by the number of shares the note is convertible into) and the fair value of the common stock multiplied by the number of shares into which the note may be converted.

 

In accordance with ASC 470 “Debt with Conversion and other Options”, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion features were recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the instrument. The Company recorded beneficial conversion features related to the December 2014 convertible note financing of $27,500 and a beneficial conversion feature of $31,000 related to the May 2015 note.

 

In June 2015, the convertible note holder converted the $38,000 December 2014 note of $38,000 in principal and $1,520 in accrued interest into 1,432,859 shares of common stock. Upon conversion, the remaining discount on the notes payable was recognized as interest totaling $15,287.

 

On November 23, 2015, a convertible note holder converted $10,000 in principal of the $43,000 May 2015 note into 847,458 shares of common stock. On November 27, 2015 the Company repaid the remaining balance of the convertible note along with accrued interest and penalties for a total amount of $47,975. The remaining discount on the convertible note payable was recognized as interest totaling $13,779.

 

In December 2015, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note with a private investor in the principal sum of $150,000. The note matures on December 6, 2017 and carries a 10% Original Issue Discount and incurs a one-time 12% interest charge on March 6, 2016. The principal sum due to the investor shall be based on the consideration actually paid by the investor plus a 10% original issue discount on the consideration paid as well as any other interest or fees. The Company is only required to repay the amount funded and is not required to repay any unfunded portion of the note. The Company received $22,500, less $2,500 of original issuance discount pursuant to the terms of this convertible note. The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the greater of; (i) the variable conversion price (60% multiplied by the market price) that is equal to the average of the lowest trading  price of the Common Stock during the twenty five (25) trading days prior to the date of conversion (ii) the investor has the right, at any time after 180 days after principal consideration has been paid to convert all or part of the outstanding principal along with interest and any fees into the Company’s common stock. The Company may repay the note at any time on or before 90 days from the effective date, after which the Company may not make further payments on the Note prior to the maturity date without written approval from the investor. On the issuance date, the fair value of derivative liability was $62,359. The Company recorded a debt discount of $25,000 and encountered a day-one derivative loss of $37,359.

In February 2016, the Company and noteholder agreed to amend the conversion price. In accordance with the amended convertible promissory note, the note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the greater of; (i) the variable conversion price (60% multiplied by the market price) that is equal to the average of the lowest trading  price of the Common Stock during the twenty five (25) trading days prior to the date of conversion or (ii) the fixed conversion price of $.00005 (iii) the investor has the right, at any time after 180 days after principal consideration has been paid to convert all or part of the outstanding principal along with interest and any fees into the Company’s common stock. Upon amendment, the Company determined that this convertible note is now considered as a conventional convertible debt and recorded a gain of $6,997 in the change of fair value of derivative liability. The Company reclassified the fair value of $55,362 to equity on the amendment date. In June, August and September 2016, the noteholder converted $25,000 in principal and $6,111 in accrued interest into 4,906,565 shares of common stock.
