2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Financial Gravity Companies, FGAM, FGEM, TMN. FGIS, FGFOS and Forta (collectively referred to as the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

Reclassifications to Prior Period Financial Statements and Adjustments

 

Certain items from prior reporting periods were reclassified in the financial statements for the current year presentation. These do not have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, or statements of cash flow. For instance, an adjustment has been made to the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows changing the classification of approximately $14,000 from deferred revenue in the report for June 30, 2021 to contract liabilities in the report for June 30, 2022. An adjustment has been made to the accompanying balance sheet and consolidated statements of cash flows changing the classification of right to use lease in the report for June 30, 2021 to right-of-use asset in the report for June 30, 2022. Compensation items classified as salaries and wages as of June 30, 2021, have been reclassified to compensation expense on the consolidated statements of operations. For the period ending June 30, 2021, approximately $91,000 was reclassified from deferred rent to rent payable on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

 

 

 

 7 

 

 

These changes in classification does not affect previously reported operating activities or financial position of the Company.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions located throughout the United States, which at times may exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

 

Prepaid expenses consist of expenses the Company has paid for prior to the service or good being provided. These prepaid expenses will be recorded as expense at the time the service has been provided.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to earnings over their estimated service lives by the straight-line method.

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred; major repairs and replacements are capitalized. When items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.

 

Proprietary Content

 

The proprietary content acquired as a part of the TMN purchase has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at $525,100, the value attributed to it on the date of the purchase. The proprietary content is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an eight- year estimated life. During each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded amortization expense of approximately $16,000. During the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded amortization expense of approximately $50,000 each period. Amortization expense related to this intangible asset is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accumulated amortization at June 30, 2022 was $492,236 and $443,142 at September 30, 2021. Future amortization of proprietary content is estimated to be as follows for the years ended September 30:

 

Future amortization of proprietary content is estimated to be as follows for the years ended September 30:

     
2022  $16,364 
2023   16,500 
Future amortization  $32,864 

 

Intellectual Property

 

The Company accounts for intellectual property in accordance with GAAP and accordingly, intellectual property is stated at cost. Intellectual property with indefinite lives is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually. Management has determined that the intellectual property has an indefinite life and does not consider the value of intellectual property recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets to be impaired as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

 

Goodwill

 

The Company conducts ongoing annual impairment assessments, at the reporting unit level, of its recorded goodwill. The Company assesses qualitative factors in order to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative factors evaluated by the Company include: macroeconomic conditions of the local business environment, overall financial performance, and other entity specific factors as deemed appropriate. If, through this qualitative assessment, the conclusion is made that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than it is carrying amount, an impairment test is performed. Management determined that no impairment was necessary at June 30, 2022.

Goodwill consists of the following:

        
  

June 30,

2022

  

September 30,

2021

 
TMN Goodwill  $1,094,702   $1,094,702 
Company Goodwill   2,082,065    2,082,065 
Total Goodwill  $3,176,767   $3,176,767 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for federal and state income taxes pursuant to GAAP, which requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes based on tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities.

 

The Company accounts for all uncertain tax positions in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 740 – Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties and disclosure related to uncertain income tax positions. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. There were no uncertain tax positions or accrued interest or penalties as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

 

From time to time, the Company is audited by taxing authorities. These audits could result in proposed assessments of additional taxes. The Company believes that its tax positions comply in all material respects with applicable tax law. However, tax law is subject to interpretation, and interpretations by taxing authorities could be different from those of the Company, which could result in the imposition of additional taxes. The Company’s federal income tax returns since 2019 are still subject to examination by taxing authorities.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Average number of common shares was 91,806,983 and 91,712,697 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 83,618,412 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021.

 

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 2,905,998 common stock equivalents were not added to the diluted average shares because inclusion of such equivalents would be antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, approximately 1,351,323 common stock equivalents were not added to the diluted average shares because inclusion of such equivalents would be antidilutive.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives its revenues primarily from the following activities: Investment Management Fees, Securities Brokerage Commissions, Tax Master Network subscriptions, Financial Advisor subscriptions, Tax BluePrint sales, and Insurance Sales.

 

Investment management fees are recognized as services are provided by the Company. Investment management fees include fees earned from assets under management by providing professional services to manage clients’ investments. Fees are generally paid monthly in arrears. Revenues are earned over the period in which the service is provided.

 

The Company generates services revenue which is recognized when consulting and other professional services are performed by the Company (primarily from TMN and FGEM). Revenue is recognized as services are delivered.

 

The Company generates subscription revenue primarily from TMN. Revenue is recognized as services are delivered.

 

 

 

 

 9 

 

 

Revenue represents gross billings less discounts, and are net of sales taxes, as applicable. Amounts invoiced for work not yet completed are shown as contract liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Accrued revenues are recorded for investment management fees that are paid in arrears and are generally collected within a few days of month end by debiting client accounts held by a custodian. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 as of June 30, 2022, September 30, 2021, and June 30, 2021. In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit on an unsecured basis to its customers as fees accrue during a month. The Company does not believe that it is exposed to any significant risk of loss on accruing fees.

 

FGAM and FGFOS generate investment management fees for services provided by the Company to clients. Investment management fees include fees earned from assets under management by providing professional services to manage client investments. Revenue is recognized as earned and billed at the end of each monthly period. FGAM shares certain clients with FGFOS and the professional fees charges to the FGFOS client accounts is treated as affiliate expense to FGAM and revenue to FGFOS.

 

FGIS generates commission revenue from the sale of securities and annuities and premiums on life insurance policies. The revenue is recognized when commissions are earned, or when it is determined that annuities or insurance products are sold, which is typically at the trade date. Commissions are collected after products are sold, issued or in force.

 

FGEM generates revenue from insurance marketing services for insurance agents, including sourcing of insurance policies through selling agreements. Revenue is recognized when the policies have been accepted by the issuer and it is probable the commission will be received.

 

Tax Master Network provides subscription services that are charged and collected on a month-to-month basis. None of these programs come with a long-term commitment or contract, and there is no up-front payment beyond the monthly subscription fee. Cancellations are processed within the month requested and memberships are closed at the end of the period for which the most recent payment was made. Members are not entitled to refunds for unused memberships. Any subscription fees paid for a future period are deferred in the financial statements. TMN also sells Tax Blueprint®. These are tax planning strategy guides, to save customers taxes through the implementation of the recommended tax strategies. After an initial assessment, the customers pay a fixed fee based on TMN's estimate of potential future savings. A contract liability is recognized when the customer payment is received. Revenue is deferred until the customer reviews and accepts the final Tax Blueprint® document and returns an executed delivery agreement.

 

The Company received revenue from FGAM’s operations that are primarily from investment management fees, including money management fees. Investment management fees are based upon a percentage of assets under management and totaled $376,000 and $554,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and $1,445,000 and $1,479,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The Company received revenue from Forta’s operations that totaled approximately $36,000 and $806,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and $279,000 and $2,305,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The Company received service revenue from TMN’s operations of $238,000 and $278,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and $831,000 and $917,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The Company received revenue from FGEM’s operations from insurance sales of approximately $220,000 and $38,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and approximately $808,000 and $365,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The Company received revenue from FGIS’s operations in the amount of $0 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and approximately $32,000 and $0 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Advertising and Marketing

 

Marketing costs are charged to operations when incurred. Marketing expenses were approximately $23,200 for both the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and approximately $91,000 and $56,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Compensation Expense

 

The Company includes in Compensation all salaries, wages, employee benefits, payroll costs, payroll taxes, commissions to employees and to independent investment advisors and related party consultants, and stock-based compensation. This is a reclassification from prior periods’ salary and wages on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation awards as wages in the accompanying statements of operations for employee grants, commissions for non-employee grants, and stock appreciation rights grants, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is based on risk-free rate of 0.77% in the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and 0.59% in 2021, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 10 years and volatility of 86.17% in 2022 and 35% to 40% in 2021 respectively. SAR awards are being treated as a liability award while the options are being treated as equity awards. While the fair value of the options are based on the Black Scholes assumptions included here, the SAR awards are based on assumptions at period end and are treated as liability awards. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Adjustments

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP, pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and operating results of the Company as of and for the respective periods. However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full fiscal year or any other future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, management of the Company believes, to the best of their knowledge, that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Company has determined that there were no subsequent events that would require adjustments to the accompanying consolidated financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the Company will need to manage additional asset units under contract and/or additional financing to fully implement its business plan, including continued growth and establishment of a stronger brand.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported approximately $1,347,000 in revenue, a net operating loss of approximately $292,000, and net increase in cash of approximately $30,000. For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported approximately $4,518,000 in revenue, a net operating loss of approximately $762,000, cash used of approximately $98,000, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $14,840,000. These operating results raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

The Company’s plans for expansion include attracting additional clients through marketing efforts with its current and future brokerage, investment management and insurance agent representatives, as well as increasing the TMN membership and the investment advisory activity of the members to increase assets under management and the Company’s revenue. Future growth plans will include efforts to increase advisory headcount through recruiting of individual advisors and groups of advisors. There is no guaranty that the Company will achieve these objectives.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November of 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which deferred the effective date of ASU Topic No. 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements. Since the Company currently uses an expected loss from customers method, the Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

 

3. SEGMENT REPORTING

 

We manage our business in reportable segments. Each of our active subsidiaries is treated as a segment. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments based on a segment’s share of consolidated operating income. Therefore, for instance, Company has determined that Forta will underperform and has decided to end its operations, which is in progress.

5. LEASES

 

The Company leases their office space through an operating lease in Lakeway, Texas and Carmel, California, and an office lease in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Company had a lease in Denver with a lease term into 2024 and deferred for some past due lease obligations over the amended lease term, but that leased property has been tendered back to the landlord. The Company still carries $88,008 in rent payable related to the Denver lease on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Carmel lease is for a term that ends in June of 2023. The Company’s lease agreements obligate the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance, and certain maintenance costs, which are accounted for separately. The Lakeway, Texas lease is for a term ending in January 2027. This lease obligates the Company to pay a share of certain common costs, including maintenance, insurance, property taxes and utilities.

 

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. All other leases are recorded on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the lease term. Lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The present value of lease payments is determined primarily using the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date. The Company’s operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in general and administrative expenses.

 

Minimum future annual rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases having original terms in excess of one year are as follows:

    
Rental Payments    
2022  $87,429 
2023   38,005 
2024   38,924 
2025   39,841 
2026   23,555 
Total undiscounted lease payments   227,754 
Less imputed interest   (29,796)
Present value of lease payments  $197,958 

 

The weighted average discount rate is 6% based Company’s expected borrowing rate and the remaining weighted average lease term is 2.79 years.

 

The Company incurred lease expense for its operating leases of $24,637 and $33,151 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and $102,784 and $241,167 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 which was included in “General and administrative” expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Included in lease expense in fiscal year 2021 was unpaid rent of $66,000 which was relieved by the issuance of stock in lieu of unpaid rent in the amount of $66,000 during the nine months ended 2022.

6. LINE OF CREDIT

 

The Company has a revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in the amount of $67,500. Amounts drawn under this line of credit are due on demand, and monthly interest and principal payments are required. The interest rate on the line of credit was 7.75% and 9.50% as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This line of credit is supported by the personal guarantee of John Pollock. The line of credit balance was $48,744 and $52,932 at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

 

7. NOTES PAYABLE

 

On April 19, 2019, the Company entered into an unsecured Promissory Note Payable with Charles O’Banon, a customer, in the amount of $32,205 and was scheduled to mature in April 2022. The balance of the note as of June 30, 2022 was $11,230. As of April 15, 2022 payments on the remaining balance of $14,048 were reset at $500 (principal and interest), with a balloon payment of the outstanding balance due in April 2023. The interest rate is 6% per annum.

9. INCOME TAXES

 

For the nine-months ending June 30, 2022 and 2021, the effective tax rate of 0% varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, net losses, certain nondeductible expenses, and an increase in the valuation allowance associated with the net operating loss carryforwards. Our deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards remain fully reserved due to uncertainty of utilization of those assets.

 

A deferred tax liability or asset is determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense or benefit in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations are the result of changes in the assets and liabilities for deferred taxes. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount for any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the current tax payable or refundable for the year plus or minus the net change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes of the Company arise from the temporary differences between financial statement and income tax recognition of NOL carry-forwards.

 

The deferred tax assets and liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include the following components at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021:

        
Net non-current deferred tax assets:  June 30, 2022   September 30, 2021 
Net operating loss carryforward  $1,464,707   $1,328,093 
Amortization   (8,189)   (8,770)
Depreciation   5,139    5,625 
Valuation allowance   (1,461,657)   (1,324,948)
Net deferred taxes  $   $ 

 

10. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND CONCENTRATIONS

 

From time to time, the Company is a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings, claims and other legal matters, arising in the ordinary course of its business or otherwise. It is management’s opinion that there are no legal proceedings the outcome of which will be material to its ability to operate or market its services, its consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows.

 

In December 2021, a new variant of the novel strain of coronavirus, referred to as COVID-19, spread to the United States. The financial markets may demonstrate volatility in reaction to the virus outbreak. Strain on companies in many sectors of the economy continue. It is unclear when these strains will end, and the lingering effects are not known. During periods of high volatility and uncertainty many investors choose to stop ongoing investment activity and sit on the sidelines until the markets become more stable. The Company’s revenues are adversely affected when investors reduce their investment activities. In addition, part of Company’s revenues is based upon the value of assets under management. If the investment portfolios of clients decrease in value, the fees charged for investment advice also decreases. The Company could be affected by lack of access to its offices, although that seems to have had little short-term impact as employees have succeeded in maintaining productivity while working remotely. The long-term effects, however, may present significant issues.

 

Any significant shutdown of the economy for a sustained period will affect the Company’s revenue which could lead to losses.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 60,866 and 0 options and SARs were granted, respectively. 60,866 in SAR grants have a participation price that was always above the market value and therefore there is no current value. SARs are recorded as a liability because there is a cash settlement option.

 

13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Included in compensation expenses for TMN were consulting fees paid to a related party as a condition to the TMN acquisition. One agreement is with Tax Tuneup, LLC which is owned by Ed Lyon, the CEO of TMN. Through this arrangement, Tax Tuneup, LLC provides consulting services to TMN, including updating of the tax strategies to comply with tax law and rules. The payments each month are $16,500.

The other agreement is with Vandata, LLC, which is owned by Keith Vandestadt who provides consulting services to TMN and is paid $5,000 per month, for a total of $45,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Vandata, LLC is also owed $5,000 for services previously rendered.

 

On April 12, 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement with John Pollock, Executive Vice President of the Company.

The last two payments have been deferred, with the balance still accruing interest. The balance of the loan at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was $5,406 and $5,296, respectively. In addition, Company owes $50,750 to a company owned by Mr. Pollock for consulting services. Payments are not being made at this time on this obligation.

 

Executives of the Company have elected to forego a portion of their compensation. Company recognizes the compensation as an expense and the obligation as deferred compensation. As of June 30, 2022, the amount of that deferred compensation obligation is approximately $50,000.

Results of Operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021

 

Revenues

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenue decreased approximately $330,000 to approximately $1,347,000 from approximately $1,677,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The principal components of the decrease in revenue are: reduction of revenue of approximately $770,000 from winding down of Forta, an increase of revenue from FGFOS of approximately $553,000, decreases in revenue for FGAM and TMN of approximately $218,000, and minor changes in other units as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, revenue decreased approximately $548,000 to approximately $4,518,000 from $5,066,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The principal components of the decrease in revenue are: decrease in revenue of approximately $2,026,000 from winding down of Forta, decreased investment management revenue from FGAM of approximately $283,000, and increase in revenue from FGFOS of approximately $1,272,000, an increase from insurance sales from FGEM of approximately $443,000, and minor changes on other operating units as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Compensation expense decreased approximately $340,000 to approximately $1,195,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from approximately $1,535,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was principally due to a decrease at Forta as it winds down ($541,457) and the increased salary and commission expense at FGCO (approximately $281,000) and FGFOS ($166,978) and other smaller amounts at the other operating units. Compensation expense decreased approximately $405,000 to approximately $3,865,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from approximately $4,271,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was principally due to a decrease at Forta as it winds down (approximately $1,035,000) and the increased salary and commission expense at FGCO (approximately $581,000) and FGFOS (approximately $351,000) and other smaller amounts at the other operating units.

 

Cost of services activity decreased approximately $19,500 to approximately $9,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from approximately $29,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Cost of services activity increased approximately $215,000 to approximately $302,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from $87,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The three and nine-month increases consist primarily of Forta's custodian's termination charge of $250,000.

 

Professional services expenses include legal expense, professional fees, and business consulting. Professional services expenses increased approximately $14,000 to approximately $108,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from approximately $123,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase is primarily due to an increase in legal fees and accounting arising from Forta operations. Professional services expenses decreased approximately $24,000 to approximately $328,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from approximately $353,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 This increase is primarily due to small increases in legal fees and accounting arising from FGCO and Forta operations.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses include depreciation on fixed assets and amortization of definite lived intangibles. Depreciation and amortization expenses stayed flat to approximately $22,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $22,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased approximately $24,000 to approximately $65.000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from $89,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease is due to deceleration of depreciation of certain assets.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $220,000 to approximately $120,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from approximately $340,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to the wind down of Forta. General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $507,000 to approximately $389,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from approximately $896,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to the winding down of Forta ($340,000 in reductions), and smaller changes in overhead at the other operating units including: (FGCO - approximately $98,000 in increases, and TMN - approximately $65,000 in decreases).

Marketing expenses stayed flat at approximately $23,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from approximately $23,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Marketing expenses increased by approximately $35,000 to approximately $91,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from approximately $56,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The increases are due to the Company spending more in marketing channels.

 

The Company experienced a decrease in its net loss of approximately $7,100,000 to a net profit of approximately $47,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from a net loss of approximately $7,112,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Company experienced a decrease in its net loss of approximately $6,980,000 to a net loss of approximately $425,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from a net loss of $7,406,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The changes are primarily attributable to the reasons noted above, and PPP Loan forgiveness, and no write off of goodwill in 2022.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These policies are contained in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions.

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable.

 

The Company derives its revenues primarily from the following activities: Investment Management Fees, Securities Brokerage Commissions, Tax Master Network subscriptions, Financial Advisor subscriptions, Tax BluePrint sales, and Insurance Sales.

 

Investment management fees are recognized as services are provided by the Company. Investment management fees include fees earned from assets under management by providing professional services to manage clients’ investments. Fees are generally paid quarterly, in advance, for each quarter or monthly in arrears. Revenues are earned over the period in which the service is provided, which is typically monthly.

 

The Company generates services income which is recognized when consulting and other professional services are performed by the Company (primarily from TMN and FGEM). Income is recognized as services are delivered.

 

Revenue represents gross billings less discounts, and are net of sales taxes, as applicable. Amounts invoiced for work not yet completed are shown as contract liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Accrued revenues are recorded for investment management fees that are paid in arrears. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0 as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit on an unsecured basis to its customers, substantially all of whom are located in the United States of America. The Company does not believe that it is exposed to any significant risk of loss on accounts receivable.

 

FGAM, FGFOS and Forta generated investment management fees for services provided by the Company. Investment management fees include fees earned from assets under management by providing professional services to manage client investments. Revenue is recognized as earned, at the end of each monthly period.

 

 

 

 

 22 

 

 

FGIS and Forta generated commission revenue from the sale of securities and annuities and premiums on life insurance policies. The revenue is recognized when commissions are earned, or when it is determined that annuities or insurance products are sold, which is typically at trade date. Commissions are received after products are sold, issued or in force.

 

FGEM generates revenue from insurance marketing services for insurance agents, including sourcing of insurance policies through selling agreements. Revenue is recognized when the policies have been accepted by the issuer and it is probable the commission will be received.

 

Tax Master Network provides network subscription services to its TMN members that are charged and collected on a month-to-month basis. None of these programs come with a long-term commitment or contract, and there is no up-front payment beyond the monthly subscription fee. Cancellations are processed within the month requested and memberships are closed at the end of the period for which the most recent payment was made. Members are not entitled to refunds for unused memberships. Any subscription fees paid for a future period are deferred in the financial statements. TMN also sells Tax Blueprint®. These are tax planning strategies guides, to save customers taxes through the implementation of the recommended tax strategies. After an initial assessment, the customers pay a fixed fee based on TMN's estimate of potential future savings. A contract liability is recognized when the customer payment is received. Revenue is deferred until the customer reviews and accepts the final Tax Blueprint® document and returns an executed delivery agreement.

 

Trade deferred revenue is carried only for subscription revenues not received in the period they apply to. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0 as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 respectively.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit on an unsecured basis to its customers, substantially all of whom are located in the United States of America. The Company does not believe that it is exposed to any significant risk of loss on accounts receivable.

 

Stock-Based Compensation.

 

The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation awards as Compensation in the accompanying statements of operations for employee grants, commissions for non-employee grants, and stock appreciation rights grants, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is based on risk-free rate of 0.59% in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 10 years and volatility of 35% to 40% in 2021. SAR awards are new this year and are being treated as a liability award while the options are being treated as equity awards. While the fair value of the options are based on the Black Scholes assumptions included here, the SAR awards are based on assumptions at period end and are treated as liability awards. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $208,000. Cash decreased during the nine months ending June 30, 2022 by approximately $98,000, primarily due to cash used in operations.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the Company will need to manage additional asset units under contract and/or additional financing to fully implement its business plan, including continued growth and establishment of a stronger brand.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported $3,171,235 in revenue, a net loss of $425,740, a decrease of cash of $98,100, and an accumulated deficit of $14,839,611. These operating results raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

 

 

 

 23 

 

 

On February 2, 2021, Forta received a PPP loan in the amount of $422,900. This PPP loan bears a fixed interest rate of 1% over a five-year term, is guaranteed by the federal government, and does not require collateral. The SBA has informed Forta that $339,070 of the outstanding principle is eligible for forgiveness. Forta is evaluating the SBA’s conclusion.

 

Company’s plans for expansion include attracting additional clients through marketing efforts with its current and future brokerage, investment management and insurance agent representatives, as well as increasing the TMN membership. Future growth plans will include efforts to increase tax and investment advisory activity through TMN members. There is no guaranty that the Company will achieve these objectives. 

 

Off Balance Sheet Transactions and Related Matters

 

There are no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have, or may have, a material effect on financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources of the Company.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk. Our business is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Any significant increase in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on certain revenue generating transactions which may affect Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on its evaluation, management concluded as of June 30, 2022 that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly represent in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022. In making this assessment, its management used the criteria based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, its internal control over financial reporting was not effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer reviewed the results of their assessment with its board of directors.

 

 

 

 

 24 

 

 

Based on its evaluation under this framework, management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the evaluation date due to the factors stated below.

 

Insufficient Resources: The Company has inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting to be able to have appropriately designed and operating entity level controls including risk assessment; information and communication; monitoring; and financial reporting.

 

Inadequate Segregation of Duties: The Company has inadequate number of personnel to properly segregate duties to implement control procedures.

 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 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.
