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

The Company was initially incorporated on November 15, 1999, as Menu Sites, Inc., a Florida corporation.  On March 9, 2001, the Company’s name was changed to CNE Communications, Inc.  On October 1, 2004, the name was changed to CNE Industries, Inc. and on March 29, 2005, the name was changed to GlobalTel IP, Inc.  On May 9, 2008, the Company’s name was changed to Cleartronic, Inc.

All current operations are conducted through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, ReadyOp Communications, Inc. (“ReadyOp”), a Florida corporation incorporated on September 15, 2014. ReadyOp facilitates the marketing and sales of subscriptions to the ReadyOp™ and ReadyMed ™ platform and the AudioMate IP gateways discussed below.

In March 2018, the Company approved the spin-off VoiceInterop into a separate company under a Form S-1 registration to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. On May 13, 2019, VoiceInterop filed an S-1 registration with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. All VoiceInterop transactions have been recorded as discontinued operations. On February 14, 2020, the distribution of shares was approved by FINRA and VoiceInterop was deconsolidated from Cleartronic, Inc. (See Note 6).

In October 2019, the Company acquired the ReadyMed software platform from Collabria LLC. ReadyMed is a web-based secure communications platform initially designed for the healthcare industry. This includes hospitals, clinics, doctor’s offices, health insurance companies, workers compensation insurance companies and many other segments of the healthcare industry. The Company offers both the ReadyOp and ReadyMed capabilities to clients and usually refers to the platform as ReadyOp to avoid confusion in the marketplace of two platforms.

ReadyOp™ Software

ReadyOp is a proprietary, innovative web-based planning and communications platform for efficiently and effectively planning, managing, communicating, and directing operations and emergency response.  ReadyOp is used by local, state and federal government agencies, corporations, school districts, utilities, hospitals and others to manage and report daily operations as well as the ability to handle incidents and emergency situations.  ReadyOp is offered as a software as a service (SAAS) program on an annual contract basis although an increasing number of clients have requested multi-year agreements.  

ReadyOp requires no new or on-site hardware or programming by clients and provides multiple options for communications including radio interoperability using the Company’s AudioMate gateways.  Plans and operations can be built and stored securely in ReadyOp on a by-location, region and systemwide basis.  Assets can be listed along with their location, person to contact and other information that may be needed.  Diagrams, charts, maps, pictures, report forms and other documentation can be securely stored yet immediately available securely from any location.  ReadyOp also provides efficient planning and response for responding to disasters and for continuity of operations (COOP) and recovery.  ReadyOp is the COOP platform for multiple organizations including many federal agencies.

ReadyMed™ Software

In October 2019, the Company acquired the ReadyMed software platform from Collabria LLC. In exchange for this asset, the Company issued 12,000,000 shares of Common stock of the Company. ReadyMed is a web-based secure communications platform initially designed for the healthcare industry. This includes hospitals, clinics, doctor’s offices, health insurance companies, workers compensation insurance companies and many other segments of the healthcare industry. The platform provides caregivers with patient tracking capability and allows physicians and other healthcare entities to track patient progress after medical treatment and/or release from hospital care. The software also enables monitoring and reporting of patients in medium- and long-term care. Additionally, the platform provides secure communications capabilities and recordkeeping to track the healing process of patients, record their recovery and monitor their medications. During the COVID-19 pandemic this software proved beneficial to multiple federal and state agencies and clients in the healthcare industry. The Company offers both the ReadyOp and ReadyMed capabilities to clients and usually refers to the platform as ReadyOp to avoid confusion in the marketplace of two products.

AudioMate IP Gateways

The Company offers a proprietary line of Internet Protocol Gateways branded as AudioMate 360 IP Gateway. The AudioMate 360 IP Gateway was designed to provide an Internet Protocol Gateway to users of unified group communications. The AudioMate units are currently being sold directly to end-users by the Company’s sales teams and by Value Added Resellers (“VARs”). More than 1,000 end-users in the United States and 18 foreign countries have purchased the Company’s AudioMate gateways. Although other devices are available that perform the same or similar functions, we believe that our price for the AudioMate 360 IP Gateway is competitive with prices other companies are charging for similar devices.

Patents and Intellectual Property

Our business will be dependent in part on our intellectual property. 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, licensing arrangements and potential patent filings. These measures are to establish and protect our rights to the technology and other intellectual property. We cannot foretell if these procedures and arrangements will be adequate in protecting our intellectual property.

On March 13, 2012, the United States Patent Office notified the Company 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. 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. It may be that one or more of the 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. 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.

Because of limited resources, the Company 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 have substantially greater resources 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 the Company may possess or obtain. Even if we prevail, the cost and management distraction of litigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

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 the Company 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 the Company relies may not adequately protect us, the Company’s 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 the Company.

Exclusive Licensing Agreement

On May 5, 2017, the Company entered into an Exclusive Licensing Agreement with Sublicensing Terms (the “Agreement”) with the University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc. (“USFRF”) relating to an exclusive license of certain patent rights in connection with one of USFRF’s U.S. Patent Applications. Both parties recognize that the research and development work provided by the Company was sufficient for USFRF to enter into the Agreement with the Company.

The Agreement is effective April 25, 2017 and continues until the later of the date that no Licensed Patent remains a pending application or an enforceable patent or the date on which the Licensee’s obligation to pay royalties expires.

The Company paid USFRF a License Issue Fee of $6,000 and $2,373 as reimbursement of expenses associated with the filing of the Licensed Patent for the year ended September 30, 2023. The company agreed to pay USFRF a royalty of 3% for sales of all Licensed Products and Licensed Processes and agreed to pay USFRF minimum royalty payments as follows:

  -and every year thereafter on the same date, for the life of the agreement.

In the event the Company proposes to sell any Equity Securities, then USFRF will have the right to purchase 5% of the securities issued in such offering on the same terms and conditions as are offered to other purchasers in such financing.

Rapid Technological Change Could Render the Company’s Products Obsolete

The Company’s 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. The Company’s future success will depend upon our ability to continue to develop and introduce new products and services to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of customers. The Company may experience delays in releasing new products, product enhancements and services in the future which may cause customers and prospective to forego purchase and use of our products and purchase those of competitors.

Sales to government entities are subject to a number of challenges and risks.

The ReadyOp platform is a Cloud Service Offering (CSO) that is being used by several agencies of the federal government. In order to expand the usage by additional federal government agencies the Company is in the process of obtaining a FedRAMP Authorization. FedRAMP provides a standardized security framework for all cloud products and services that is recognized by all executive branch federal agencies. As a Cloud Service Provider or CSP the Company only needs to go through the FedRAMP Authorization process once for each CSO and perform continuous monitoring, with all agencies reviewing the same continuous monitoring deliverables, creating efficiencies across the government. The Company commenced the FedRamp certification process in 2023 and expects to have completed the certification by mid 2024.

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 an increase in cost.

Manufacturing and Suppliers

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

Currently, Company has arrangements for the production of the AudioMate gateways with two contract manufacturers. The reliance on contract manufacturing 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. The Company’s contract manufacturers can provide a range of operational and manufacturing services, including component procurement and performing final testing and assembly of our products. The Company intends to continue use of contract manufacturers to procure components and to maintain adequate manufacturing capacity.

Competition

We are not aware of any direct competitors for ReadyOp and ReadyMed that offer the same combinations of capabilities and function. However, there are similar programs being marketed that appear similar and are sometimes confused with ReadyOp such as WebEOC and Everbridge. ReadyOp provides different capabilities and is priced lower than both of these and in fact, has several clients that use one or even both of these programs in addition to ReadyOp. We may have increased competition in the future. We continue to develop and enhance the ReadyOp/ReadyMed platform to improve the value and increase the potential market size and growth of our client clientele.

The unified communications industry where the Company’s gateways are offered is competitive. The Company will continue to offer the AudioMate gateways, but primarily in conjunction with the ReadyOp platform to provide radio interoperability. Competition for an integrated radio and operations platform is limited and the Company will continue to market the ReadyOp platform, both with the gateways and without.

Sales and Marketing

The ReadyOp/ReadyMed platform is currently marketed through a combination of inside salespersons and outside sales groups. We intend to expand the use of commissioned sales groups and individual sales representatives to market and sell our programs and gateways.

Key Personnel of Cleartronic

Our future financial success depends to a large degree upon the personal efforts of our key personnel, Michael M. Moore, our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Director, and Larry M. Reid, our Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Secretary and Director. They and their designees play the major role in securing persons capable of developing and executing the Company’s business strategy. While the Company intends to employ additional executive, development and technical personnel in order to minimize dependency upon any one person, we may not be successful in attracting and retaining the persons needed.

At present, Cleartronic has two executive officers, Michael M. Moore and Larry M. Reid. A copy of the employment agreement with Mr. Moore has been previously filed on January 13, 2016 as an exhibit to a Form 10-K. Mr. Moore is paid a base salary of $16,667 per month. Effective April 20, 2022, the annual compensation increased to $220,000. See Item 13. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.”

In March 2015, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with the Company’s CFO, 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. Mr. Reid is 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. Effective October 1, 2021, the annual compensation increased to $104,000.

Unless the Company shall have given Mr. Moore or Mr. Reid written notice at least 30 days prior to the Termination Date, the employment agreements automatically renew and continue in effect for additional one-year periods. The Company has the election at any time after the expiration of the initial term of the Mr. Reid’s Agreement to give Mr. Reid notice of Termination.

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

Our future operating results may vary 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 revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in revenue in relation to our planned expenditures could 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.

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 the Company’s customers but recognizes the inevitability of legal action in today’s business environment as an unfortunate price of conducting business.

Not applicable.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

The Company’s common stock has been traded on the OTCPINK under the symbol “CLRI.” The last price of our common stock as reported on the pink tier of OTC Markets on September 30, 2023 was $0.0281 per share.

As of September 30, 2023 we were authorized to issue 5,000,000,000 shares of our common stock, of which 229,160,695 shares were outstanding.

There is no trading market for the shares of our preferred stock.

Dividends

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends or other distributions on the Company’s common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will be declared at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and will depend, among other things, on the earnings and financial requirements for future operations and growth, and other facts as the board of directors may then deem appropriate.

Results of Operations

YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

Revenue

Revenues increased 5.67% to $2,131,955 for the year ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $2,017,563 for the year ended September 30, 2022. The primary reason for the increase was an increase in revenue from the ReadyOp platform from $1,818,035 in 2022 to $2,022,550 in 2023. There was also an increase in sales of ReadyOp hardware products from $33,800 in 2022 to 48,325 in 2023. Consulting fees and related income decreased from $86,000 in 2022 to $32,850 in 2023 due primarily to a decrease in sales of thermal scanners as these were primarily purchased by clients for operations during the COVID 19 pandemic.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenues decreased to $316,163 for the year ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $334,138 for the year ended September 30, 2022. Gross profits were $1,815,792 and $1,683,425 for the years ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Gross profit margins increased to 85.17% for the year ended September 30, 2023 from 83.44% for the year ended September 30, 2022.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased 32.49% to $1,761,843 for the year ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1,329,791 for the year ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to administrative expenses and selling expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $270,184 or 26.14% as a result of the increase in general business expenses, an increase in headcount and personnel related costs associated with the addition of new employees. In addition, the Company’s paid fees to outside consulting services that are assisting us in obtaining FedRAMP certification.  For the year ended September 30, 2023, $59,324 was paid in connection with FedRamp certification.  There were also charitable contributions and employee holiday bonuses paid during the year. For the year ended September 30, 2023, selling expenses were $425,498 compared to $272,521 for the year ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due expenses associated with a trade show hosted by the Company and bad debt expense. There was also an increase in advertising and travel expenses as the Company increased its sales and marketing efforts following the COVID 19 pandemic. Research and development expenses were $27,314 for the year ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $19,742 for the year ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to research and development expenses.

Other Income/(Expenses)

The Company’s other income decreased by $44,654 from other income of $2,607 during the year ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $47,261 in other expenses for the year ended September 30, 2022. The primary reason for this decrease was an increase in interest income on note receivable due from a related party and offset by a settlement of certain accounts payable for the year ended September 30, 2022.

Income before Income Taxes

The Company’s income before income taxes was $56,556, during the year ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $400,895 for the year ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to expensing audit expenses, a move of the corporate headquarters, the addition of new employees, employee related costs and costs associated with FedRAMP certification. The increased costs were partially offset by an increase in subscriptions of ReadyOp licenses.

Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders

Net income attributable to common stockholders was $15,518 for the year ended September 30, 2023 as compared to a net income of $359,858 for the year ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in administrative and offset by an increase in sales of ReadyOp licenses. The increased costs were partially due expenses related to a move of the corporate headquarters and the addition of new employees. The preferred stock dividends remained consistent.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the year ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided in operations of $99,595 was the result of a net income of $56,556, depreciation and amortization expense of $5,051, amortization of operating lease of $17,949, provision of bad debt of $97,994, an increase in accounts payable of $10,640, and a decrease in inventory of $816. These were offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $105,537, increase in prepaid expenses of $17,635 and an increase in deferred revenue of $52,169.

For the year ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operations of $74,649 was the result of a net income of $400,895, depreciation expense of $3,732, provision of bad debt of $14,000, gain on settlement and reversal of accounts payable of $47,792, an increase in accounts receivable of $231,785, and a decrease of accounts payable of $36,943. These were offset by an increase in inventory of $6,444, an increase in prepaid expenses of $6,228, and an increase in deferred revenue of $6,285. 

Net cash used in investing activities was $50,807 for the year ended September 30, 2023 which was for the purchase of fixed assets of $6,434, and intangible assets of $44,374.

Net cash used in investing activities was $ $7,483 for the year ended 2022, which was for the purchase of fixed assets of $7,483.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable in the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The following critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company maintains current receivable amounts with most of its customers. The Company regularly monitors and assesses its risk of not collecting amounts owed by customers. This evaluation is based upon an analysis of current and past due amounts, along with relevant history and facts particular to the customer. The Company records its allowance for credit losses based on the results of this analysis. The analysis requires the Company to make significant estimates and as such, changes in facts and circumstances could result in material changes in the allowance for credit losses. The Company considers as past due any receivable balance not collected within its contractual terms.

The Company provided $63,665 and $18,000 allowances for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, respectively.

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 net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company’s policy is to record a reserve for technological obsolescence or slow-moving inventory items.

The financial statements and related notes are included as part of this report as indexed in the appendix on page F-1, et seq.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Item 9A. 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 September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were 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.

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:

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2023. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO-2013) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2023.

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 quarter ended September 30, 2023, 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. 

Item 9B. Other Information.

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

The following table sets forth information concerning the directors and executive officers of Cleartronic as of the date of this report:

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 three directors who have expertise in the business of Cleartronic. Based on our continuing profitability, 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. Graduating with an Engineering degree from The University of Buffalo’s School of Engineering, Martin joined the Exxon Management Development Program. Following his tenure at Exxon, he purchased an Exxon distributorship in the Carolinas. Culp Petroleum was transformed into a large regional distribution company. While at Culp, Martin developed and implemented several 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.

Michael M. Moore is currently Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Cleartronic, Inc. He was founder and CEO of Collabria, LLC, a private software development company. Prior to founding Collabria in 2008, Moore for 13 years was CEO of DTNet Group and for seven years served as CEO of Payroll Transfers, Inc. He also was an assistant vice president with both Kidder Peabody and Merrill Lynch. Mr. Moore is an honors graduate of the United States Air Force Academy and served as an Air Force fighter pilot for eight years, flying F-4 and F-16 fighter aircraft. He is also one of six entrepreneurs profiled in the book Daring Visionaries, How Entrepreneurs Build Companies, Inspire Allegiance, and Create Wealth.

With over thirty years of executive management experience including sales and marketing, operations management, and financial management, from 2001 to 2005 Mr. Reid served as CFO and director of Connectivity, Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of emergency call boxes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (PCAOB ID 5036)

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

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cleartronic, Inc. (the Company) as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flow for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Valuation of accounts receivable

Description of the Matter

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company provides an allowance for credit losses 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.

How We addressed the Matter in our Audit

The primary procedures performed included evaluating the methodologies used in the determination of allowance for credit losses and reviewing historical data, collections and other inputs used by the Company as well as subsequent collections. Based on our procedures we deemed the Company’s treatment of accounts receivable and the corresponding allowance for credit losses to be appropriate as of September 30, 2023.
