SIDECHANNEL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022, AND 2021
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

SideChannel, Inc. (the “Company” or “SideChannel”), formerly Cipherloc Corporation, was incorporated in the State of Texas on June 22, 1953, under the name “American Mortgage Company.” Effective August 27, 2014, the Company changed its name to “Cipherloc Corporation.” Effective July 5, 2022, the Company changed its name to “SideChannel, Inc.” following its acquisition of SideChannel, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, on July 1, 2022 (See Note 7 – Subsequent Events). Prior to September 30, 2021, the Company was a Texas corporation. The Company became a Delaware corporation effective September 30, 2021.

The Company is a provider of cybersecurity services and technology to middle market companies. The Company’s website is www.sidechannel.com.

On August 2, 2022, the Company changed its ticker symbol from CLOK to SDCH.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. In the Company’s opinion, it has included all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation.

The Company’s operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2022. The Company has omitted notes to the unaudited interim financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 included within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash includes cash on hand and cash in the bank. The balance of such accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits, as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC insures these deposits up to $250,000. As of June 30, 2022, $3,338,912 of the Company’s cash balance was uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses related to uninsured cash balances.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

The Company computes its basic net loss per share by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of shares is calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting that number by the amount of time that the applicable shares were outstanding. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if vested stock options, warrants, and other commitments of the Company to issue shares of common stock were exercised, resulting in the issuance of additional shares of common stock that would share in the earnings of the Company. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

7
Table of Contents

The Company’s diluted loss per share was the same as the basic loss per share for the periods in which the Company incurred net losses since the inclusion of potential common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss. For the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Company excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share warrants to purchase 79,461,481 shares of its common stock, and 1,981,484 shares of its common stock issued pursuant to restricted stock units because the effect of including those shares would be anti-dilutive. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share warrants to purchase 79,461,481 shares of common stock because the effect of including those shares would be anti-dilutive.

Reclassification

The common stock and additional paid in capital line items on the balance sheet have been reclassified to be comparable to the current period’s presentation. The reclassification reflects the difference in the par value of the Company’s common stock when it was a Texas corporation, prior to September 30, 2021, and the par value of the Company’s common stock after it became a Delaware corporation, on September 30, 2021.

Research and Development Costs

The Company expenses all research and development costs, including patent and software development costs.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” including a series of amendments, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Central to the Company’s revenue recognition guidance is a five-step revenue recognition model that requires reporting entities to:

1. Identify the contract,
2. Identify the performance obligations of the contract,
3. Determine the transaction price of the contract,
4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and
5. Recognize revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company accounts for a promise to provide a customer with a right to access the Company’s intellectual property as a performance obligation satisfied over time, because the customer will simultaneously receive and consume the benefit from access to the Company’s intellectual property as the performance occurs.

Software License Agreements

The Company executed a software license agreement with Castle Shield Holdings, LLC (“Castle Shield”) during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. That agreement includes an auto-renewing annual term. The Company did not receive any payments from Castle Shield during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. The Company recognized $449 in licensing revenues from Castle Shield during the nine months ended June 30, 2022.

Table of Contents

Effect of Recently Issued Amendments to Authoritative Guidance

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issues Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to amend the authoritative literature in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). There have been several ASUs to date that amend the original text of the ASCs. Other than those discussed below, the Company believes those ASUs issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company, or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This guidance removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements such as tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, ownership changes in investments, and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on October 1, 2021, and the adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2020, the FASB issued guidance to clarify certain interactions between the guidance to account for equity securities, the guidance to account for investments under the equity method of accounting, and the guidance to account for derivatives and hedging. The new guidance clarifies the application of measurement alternatives and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options to acquire investments. The Company adopted this guidance on October 1, 2021, and the adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new ASU addresses an issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. This amendment is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

9
Table of Contents

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s), to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), which delays the effective date of the pronouncement for public business entities that are smaller reporting companies, as defined by the SEC, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance, which provided guidance to increase the transparency of government assistance received by an entity by requiring disclosures relating to the accounting policy, nature of the assistance, and the effect of the assistance on the financial statements. The Company is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06—Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470- 20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, for convertible instruments. Under the amendments in ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features in the instruments are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, and a convertible preferred stock will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the interest rate of convertible debt instruments will typically be closer to the coupon interest rate when applying the guidance in Topic 835, Interest. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are designed to provide financial statement users with a simpler and more consistent starting point to perform analyses across entities. The amendments also improve the operability of the guidance and reduce, to a large extent, the complexities in the accounting for convertible instruments and the difficulties with the interpretation and application of the relevant guidance.

Additionally, for convertible debt instruments with substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, amendments in ASU 2020-06 added disclosures about (1) the fair value amount and the level of fair value hierarchy of the entire instrument for public business entities and (2) the premium amount recorded as paid-in capital. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on October 1, 2021, which adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 4– COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company is currently not involved in any litigation that it believes could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2017, Robert LeBlanc filed a petition against the Company and Michael De La Garza, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and President, in the 20th Judicial District for Hays County, Texas (Cause No. 18-0005). Mr. LeBlanc sought damages against the Company exceeding $1 million, but less than $10 million. On May 19, 2022, Mr. LeBlanc entered into a joint settlement agreement with the Company, the Company’s directors and officer’s liability carrier, and Mr. De La Garza. As part of this settlement agreement, the Company paid Mr. LeBlanc $109,432 in cash and issued him 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for his release of the Company from all past and future liabilities associated with this matter.

In April 2020, Eric Marquez, the former Secretary/Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and certain other plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against the Company and Michael De La Garza, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and President, in the 20th Judicial District for Hays County, Texas (Cause No. 20-0818). The lawsuit alleges causes of action for fraud against Mr. De La Garza (for misrepresentations allegedly made by Mr. De La Garza); breach of contract, for alleged breaches of Mr. Marquez’s alleged oral employment agreement with the Company, which Mr. Marquez claims required the Company to pay him cash and issue him shares of the Company’s stock; unjust enrichment; quantum meruit; and rescission of certain stock purchases made by certain of the plaintiffs, as well as requests for declaratory relief. Damages sought exceed $1,000,000. The Company believes it has made all required payments and delivered all required shares of stock to the plaintiffs. The case is currently being defended by the Company. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the allegations, and the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend the litigation.

Leases

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had no financial obligations for facility lease agreements, except as set forth below.

Prior to December 1, 2021, Tom Wilkinson, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, provided the Company with the use of office space that he rents, located at 6836 Bee Caves Road, Building 1, Suite 279, Austin, TX 78746, for its corporate headquarters. After December 1, 2021, the Company entered into a month-to-month lease agreement for this office space with Nolen & Associates, under which the Company pays Nolen & Associates $500 per month in rent.

The Company’s rent expense totaled $1,500 and $3,641 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, and $170,265 and $306,453 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

NOTE 5 – DEBT

On April 6, 2020, the Company submitted an application for a $365,430 loan under the Paycheck Protection Program sponsored by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA Loan”). On April 12, 2020, the SBA Loan application was approved, and the Company received the loan proceeds on April 22, 2020. The SBA Loan matured on April 12, 2022.

On January 29, 2021, the Company filed for partial forgiveness of $192,052 of the SBA Loan, which was approved on June 11, 2021. The Company’s reductions in staff that occurred in 2020 prevented the Company from qualifying for forgiveness of the entire principal balance of the SBA Loan.

On April 15, 2021, the Company placed the entire $365,430 principal balance of the SBA Loan, plus an additional $1,000, into an escrow account. Upon receiving the partial forgiveness of the SBA Loan described above, the Company paid the remaining balance of the SBA Loan, using funds in the escrow account. The Company transferred the remaining balance of the escrow account to the Company’s operating account. The balance of the SBA Loan was $0 as of September 30, 2021.

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 1, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding equity securities of SideChannel, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Subsidiary”), in exchange for shares of the Company’s equity securities (the “Acquisition”), pursuant to an Equity Securities Purchase Agreement, dated May 16, 2022 (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Acquisition was previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 18, 2022.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the former shareholders of the Subsidiary (the “Sellers”) exchanged all of their equity securities in the Subsidiary for a total of 59,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “First Tranche Shares”), and 100 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series A Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The Sellers are entitled to receive up to an additional 59,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Second Tranche Shares” and together with the First Tranche Shares and the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Shares”) at such time that the operations of the Subsidiary, as a subsidiary of the Company, achieves at least $5.5 million in revenue (the “Milestone”) for any twelve-month period occurring after the Closing Date and before the 48-month anniversary of the execution of the Purchase Agreement.

On the Closing Date, the Sellers acquired approximately 40.4% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. If the Subsidiary achieves the Milestone, and the Sellers are issued the Second Tranche Shares, and assuming that there is no other change in the number of shares outstanding prior to the issuance of the Second Tranche Shares, the Sellers will hold a total of approximately 57.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The number of the Second Tranche Shares may be reduced or increased, based upon whether the Subsidiary’s working capital as of the Closing Date was less than or more than zero. The number of the Second Tranche Shares may also be subject to adjustment based upon any successful indemnification claims made by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

The Shares are subject to a Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to certain exceptions, the Sellers may not directly or indirectly offer to sell, or otherwise transfer, any of the Shares for twenty-four months after the Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement, each of the Sellers may sell up to 20% of their Shares beginning twelve months after the Closing Date, and the remaining 80% of their shares of Common Stock beginning twenty-four months after the Closing Date. The Company is currently performing a formal valuation of the acquisition, including an analysis of any purchase price adjustments, and a review of the assts and liabilities acquired to determine appropriate fair values.

On July 1, 2022, Sammy Davis and David Chasteen resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). On that same date, the Board appointed Deborah MacConnel and Kevin Powers to fill the vacancies resulting from those resignations. On that same date, the Board expanded the number of members of the Board by two members and approved the appointments of Brian Haugli and Hugh Regan to fill the vacancies caused by the expansion, to be effective on July 19, 2022. Ms. MacConnel, Mr. Powers, and Mr. Regan are considered independent directors. As of July 19, 2022, the total number of members of the Board was six (6), including four (4) independent directors.

On July 1, 2022, the Board appointed Brian Haugli to the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company, following the resignation of David Chasteen from that position. Mr. Chasteen assumed the role of Executive Vice President of the Company on that same date.

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

On July 5, 2022, the Company filed a Schedule 14-F Information Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing the change in the majority of the members of the Board.

On July 5, 2022, the Company changed its name to SideChannel, Inc., the same name as the Subsidiary The Company is in the process of changing the name of the Subsidiary.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. A detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, and elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Overview

With our acquisition of SideChannel, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, on July 1, 2022, we expanded our capabilities to include providing cybersecurity programs to mid-market companies, which are designed to help those companies protect their assets. With the additional of SideChannel, we now employ what we believe to be among the market’s most skilled and experienced talent to help our clients to improve their defenses against cybercrime. With the SideChannel acquisition, we now have over 20 C-suite level information security officers, who possess combined experience of over 400 years in the industry. To date, SideChannel has created over 50 multi-layered cybersecurity programs for its clients.

Our mission is to make cybersecurity easy and accessible for mid-market companies, a market that we believe is currently underserved. We believe that our cybersecurity offerings will identify and develop cybersecurity, privacy and risk management solutions for our customers. We anticipate that our target customers will continue to need cost effective security solutions. We intend to provide more tech-enabled services to address the needs of our customers, including third-party risk management, due diligence, privacy, threat intelligence, and managed end-point security solutions.

We believe that our customers, and prospective customers, in the mid-market will favor our approach, as it provides them with an efficient way to work with a single vendor to manage and oversee their cybersecurity programs. We also believe that our approach will reduce our customers’ overall security costs and streamline their ability to increase their sales, reduce regulatory risks and monitor their risk posture.

We believe that we provide a full range of cybersecurity solutions through our in-house delivery capabilities, and through our network of subcontractors. We work with our clients to help them select the right cybersecurity tools, products, and solutions. We believe that our use of subcontractors allows us to quickly move directly into implementation of projects, which we believe reduces the risk to our customer. Our subcontractors also provide us with sales leads and referrals, and may resell our services to their own client base. We believe that this allows us to maximize our sales efforts, reduce expense of sales, and gain new customers.

Prior to our acquisition of SideChannel, we offered our customers a license to use our Polymorphic Encryption Core (“PEC”), which is a secure, advanced polymorphic data-in-motion product. Recently, one licensee, Castle Shield, began to report early-stage product sales from its software tools that contain our PEC.

To supplement our legacy licensing program, we are building our own applications that we intend to sell directly to enterprises and managed security service providers. On February 14, 2022, we announced the launch of Enclave, our first internally developed product.

Enclave is a product designed to be an easy-to-use platform for organizations that are seeking to control communication between devices; and to fully encrypt traffic between those devices. Enclave is designed to provide a simple and cost-effective solution for multiple devices, as compared to current complex cost-prohibitive solutions, which we believe require technical personnel to operate. Enclave is designed to make micro-segmentation available to everyone at a low cost, and with minimum technical administration.

The Enclave platform is available through a free plan or a fee per user plan, designed to fit the needs of the two types of end users of the platform. The free plan will give individual users the ability to use the platform for hobby and educational purposes. The fee per user plan will focus on business users, allowing them to have a more private experience that addresses security and optimization gaps that we believe many companies face in today’s ever-changing technology environment.

We anticipate that we will need between $2.0 million and $2.7 million of cash to cover our operating expenses for the next twelve months. We expect to cover those expenses with the net proceeds we received from a private placement of our securities in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2021. We further anticipate that the SideChannel acquisition may mitigate or reduce our use of cash for operating expenses. We intend to manage our business such that our current cash reserves will be sufficient to allow us to reach positive cash flow from our operations, but we cannot assure you that will occur.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

Our revenue was $198 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to zero revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The revenue in fiscal 2022 was related to our licensing agreement with Castle Shield.

Our general and administrative expense was $1,107,310 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $197,534 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $909,776, or 461%. The increase was driven by several factors including: (i) $479,075 in costs related to the SideChannel acquisition; (ii) an increase in headcount related expenses of $335,232; and (iii) a $45,000 increase in the amortization of deferred costs related to private placement fees. The increase in general and administrative expense was partially offset by (i) a reduction of $441,597 as a result of a recognized gain related to the write-off of remaining right-of-use (ROU) assets and operating lease liability after the early termination of our final operating lease; and (ii) decreases in other items, including a reduction of $192,732 in legal expense, as well as a decrease of $168,765 in rent expense.

Our selling and marketing expenses were $82,548 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to zero for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Our sales and marketing expenses in fiscal 2022 include (i) consultant expenses of $37,500, (ii) $34,875 in brand and website marketing costs, and (iii) stock compensation expense of $10,173.

Our research and development expenses were $191,258 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $169,098 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $22,160 or 13%. The increase was primarily due to a $58,020 increase in development expenses, as well as a $26,672 increase in personnel related costs. These increases were partially offset by a $62,532 decrease in consultant expenses.

Our other income (expense) was zero for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to other income of $191,052 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The other income in fiscal 2021 was related to the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, partial loan forgiveness we received, partially offset by a minor amount of interest expense.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2022, Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2021

Our revenue was $449 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $15,417 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $14,968, or 97%. The reduction in our revenue in fiscal 2022 was due to low sales activity from our licensees during the nine months ended June 30, 2022.

Our general and administrative expense was $2,183,340 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1,748,398 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $434,942, or 25%. The increase in our general and administrative expense was driven by several factors including: (i) $479,075 in SideChannel acquisition related costs in fiscal 2022; (ii) an increase in headcount related expenses of $232,384; and (iii) a $135,000 increase in the amortization of deferred costs related to private placements fees. These increases in general and administrative expense were partially offset by decreases in other items, including (i) a reduction of $441,597 in general and administrative expense in fiscal 2021 as a result of a gain we recognized related to the write-off of our remaining right-of-use (ROU) assets and an operating lease liability after the early termination of our final operating lease; (ii) a reduction of $356,602 in legal expense; (iii) a decrease of $302,811 in rent expense and (iv) a decrease in professional fees of $165,485.

Our selling and marketing expense was $188,316 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $56,250 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $132,066, or 235%. The increase in our sales and marketing expense was the result of several factors including: (i) an increase of $112,500 in consultant expenses; and (ii) an increase of $64,625 in brand and website marketing costs. These increased selling and marketing expenses were partially offset by a $45,059 decrease in headcount related costs during fiscal 2021 that were not incurred in the current fiscal year.

Table of Contents

Our research and development expense were $461,816 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $465,974 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $4,158 or 1%. The slight reduction in our research and development expense was primarily the result of a $134,786 decrease in consulting related costs, resulting from the spending reductions we initiated during the prior fiscal year. This cost reduction was partially offset by an increase in payroll related expense of $72,608 and an increase of $58,020 in product development expenses.

Our other income (expense) was zero for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, compared to other income of $191,052 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The other income in fiscal 2021 was related to the partial forgiveness of our PPP loan, partially offset by a minor amount of interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had an accumulated deficit of $74,363,914 as of June 30, 2022. We expect to continue to incur expenses, and generate continued operating losses, until we can generate revenues that are sufficient to cover our expected ongoing expenses. We anticipate that our operating expenses for the next twelve months will require between $2.0 million and $2.7 million of cash. We expect to cover those expenses with some of the net proceeds we received from a private placement of our equity securities in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2021. We further anticipate the SideChannel acquisition will mitigate or reduce our use of cash for operating expenses. We intend to manage our business so that our current cash reserves will be sufficient to allow us to reach positive cash flow from our operations, but we cannot assure you that will occur. We do not currently have access to any credit facilities and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to access any credit facilities if needed.

On June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,588,912, primarily representing proceeds from the private placement of shares of our common stock in March and April of 2021.

As of June 30, 2022, we had working capital of $3,010,376, compared to working capital of $4,756,094 as of September 30, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), we are not required to provide the information required by this Item, as we are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, including any corrective actions regarding significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business.

Such current litigation or other legal proceedings are described in, and incorporated by reference into, this “Part II - Item 1. Legal Proceedings” from “Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements” in the notes to financial statements in “Litigation” in Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies. We believe that the resolution of currently pending matters will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, assessment of current litigation or other legal claims could change in light of the discovery of facts not presently known to us, or by decisions of judges, juries or other finders of fact, that are not in accord with our evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.

Additionally, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. If one or more legal matters are resolved against us in a reporting period for amounts in excess of our expectations, our financial condition and operating results for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 21, 2021, under the heading “Risk Factors.” [Should these be updated to reflect the acquisition?]
