The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-K. They may not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal and recurring adjustments have been made. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017. |
| USE OF ESTIMATES |
USE OF ESTIMATES
In preparing the 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. |
| CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS |
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 December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016. |
| ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE |
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 provided $2,000 and $2,000 allowances for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively. |

| ASSET ACQUISITION |
ASSET ACQUISITION
In November 2016, the Company acquired the ReadyOp software platform and the Collabria customer base from Collabria LLC. In exchange for these assets the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of restricted Series E Convertible Preferred stock valued at $292,240. The ReadyOp software platform was valued at $195,600 to be amortized over three years, amortization expense recognized for the three month period ended December 31, 2016 was $5,433.

| CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK |
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. |
| RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS |
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. For the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company had $18,700 and $0 in research and development costs from continuing operations in each period, respectively. |
| REVENUE RECOGNITION AND DEFERRED REVENUES |
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 certain 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. Upon acquisition of the ReadyOp software platform, the Company changed its revenue recognition for ReadyOp software. For ReadyOp software the Company currently defers the license fee on issuance of the license and recognizes the revenue over the term of the agreement. This was due to the fact that the software license comes with customer support. The Company now provides support to customers which was previously provided by Collabria LLC. Royalties paid to software vendors are categorized as Cost of Goods Sold.
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 |
EARNINGS 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. Accordingly, for purposes of dilutive earnings per share, the Company excluded the effect of warrants and options, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had no options and warrants outstanding. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had 566,496 and 40,750 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 40,750 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock outstanding are convertible into 4,075,000 shares of common stock. 525,476 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock outstanding are convertible after a two-year period from the issuance date. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had 2,563,375 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred stock outstanding which are convertible into 12,816,875 shares of common stock, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had 670,904 shares of Series D Preferred stock outstanding which are convertible into 3,354,520 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had 3,000,000 and -0- shares of Series E Convertible Preferred stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, no shares of Series E Convertible Preferred stock outstanding are convertible into shares of common stock. 3,000,000 shares of restricted Series E Convertible Preferred stock outstanding are convertible after a two-year period from the issuance date. |
| FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company adopted ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), formerly SFAS No. 157 “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 condensed consolidated financial statements. 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 observable. 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 deferredrevenue. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying condensed 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. The Company revalues its derivative liability at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the derivative liability. The Company has no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. |
| INVENTORY |
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’s policy is to record a reserve for technological obsolescence or slow-moving inventory items. The Company only carries finished goods to be shipped along with completed circuit boards and parts necessary for final assembly of finished product. The Company’s prior policy was to record a reserve for technological obsolescence of component parts. That policy was discontinued in 2014 as all existing inventory is considered current and usable. The reserve was $0 as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively. |
| EQUITY INSTRUMENTS ISSUED TO PARTIES OTHER THAN EMPLOYEES FOR ACQUIRING GOODS OR SERVICES |
EQUITY INSTRUMENTS ISSUED TO PARTIES OTHER THAN EMPLOYEES FOR ACQUIRING GOODS OR SERVICES
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 ASC. 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 |
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, theinstrument 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 will be 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. |
| ADVERTISING COSTS |
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company had advertising costs of $868 during the three months ended December 31, 2016, and $1,848 during the three months ended December 31, 2015. |
