NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

Cleartronic, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Florida on November 15, 1999. All current operations are conducted through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, ReadyOp Communications, Inc. ("ReadyOp"), a Florida corporation incorporated on September 15, 2014. ReadyOp facilitates the marketing and sales of subscriptions to the ReadyOp™ and ReadyMed ™ platform and the AudioMate IP gateways discussed below.

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

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

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements contain the consolidated accounts of Cleartronic, Inc. and its subsidiary, ReadyOp Communications, Inc. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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, 2021 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, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.

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.

Significant estimates include the assumptions used in valuation of deferred tax assets, estimated useful life of property and equipment, valuation of inventory and allowance for doubtful accounts.

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 on December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021.

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. When a client is invoiced, the amount is recorded as an asset in Accounts Receivable and as Deferred Revenue in Current Liabilities. When payment is received the amount is moved to Cash on the balance sheet. The amount listed as Deferred Revenue is amortized monthly over the license period.

The Company provided $10,000 and $10,000 allowances for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or the underlying lease term for leasehold improvements, whichever is shorter onset the property and equipment is put into service.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company currently maintains cash balances at one FDIC-insured banking institution. Deposits held in non interest-bearing transaction accounts are insured up to a maximum of $250,000 at all FDIC-insured institutions. As of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the Company had $0 and $139,577, respectively, in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. For the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $49,260 and $30,789, respectively, in research and development costs.

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND DEFERRED REVENUES

The Company revenue recognition policy follows guidance from Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from contract with customers. Revenue is recognized when the Company transferred promised goods and services to the customer and in the amount that reflect the consideration to which the company expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.

The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount:

i.

Identification of Contact with a customer;

ii.

Identify the performance obligation of the contract

iii.

Determine transaction price;

iv.

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and

v.

Recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The Company generates revenue primarily through the sale of integrated hardware and software licenses. The portion of the contract that is associated with ongoing hosting and related customer service is amortized monthly over the license period. The Company incurs certain incremental contract costs (referred to as deferred subscriber acquisition costs, net) including selling expenses (primarily commissions) related to acquiring customers. Deferred subscriber acquisition costs, net are included in prepaid and expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Commissions paid in connection with acquiring new customers are determined based on the value of the contractual fees. Deferred subscriber acquisition costs will be expensed as incurred on the date the revenue associated with the cost is recognized. As of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively, the Company recorded $0 and $41,283, respectively, in deferred subscriber costs, which is included as a component of prepaid expense.

In transactions in which hardware is sold to a customer, the Company recognizes the revenue when the hardware has been shipped to the customer. The hardware supplied by the Company does not require a related software license and can be operated and fully functional without the Company's software.

From time to time clients request special training meetings. We send employees to these meeting and charge our clients on a per diem basis. These charges are recorded as consulting fees on our income statement.

The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price. Revenue associated with the sale and installation of system licenses is recognized once installation is complete.

Customer billings for services not yet rendered are deferred and recognized as revenue as services are provided. These fees are recorded as current deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet as the Company expects to satisfy any remaining performance obligations as well as recognize the related revenue within the next twelve months. Accordingly, the Company has applied the practical expedient regarding deferred revenue to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations if (i) the contract has an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) the Company recognizes revenue in proportion to the amount it has the right to invoice for services performed.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share (“EPS”) are the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. EPS is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16, basic EPS shall be computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting both the dividends declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from income from continuing operations (if that amount appears in the income statement) and also from net income. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options or warrants.

Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-45-21 through 260-10-45-45-23 Diluted EPS shall be based on the most advantageous conversion rate or exercise price from the standpoint of the security holder. The dilutive effect of outstanding call options and warrants (and their equivalents) issued by the reporting entity shall be reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method unless the provisions of paragraphs 260-10-45-35 through 45-36 and 260-10-55-8 through 55-11 require that another method be applied. Equivalents of options and warrants include non-vested stock granted to employees, stock purchase contracts, and partially paid stock subscriptions (see paragraph 260–10–55–23). Anti-dilutive contracts, such as purchased put options and purchased call options, shall be excluded from diluted EPS. Under the treasury stock method: a. Exercise of options and warrants shall be assumed at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later) and common shares shall be assumed to be issued. b. The proceeds from exercise shall be assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. (See paragraphs 260-10-45-29 and 260-10-55-4 through 55-5.) c. The incremental shares (the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and the number of shares assumed purchased) shall be included in the denominator of the diluted EPS computation.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had no options and warrants outstanding.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had 512,996 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock outstanding, which are convertible into 51,299,600 shares of common stock.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had 3,341,503 and 4,433,375 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred stock outstanding, respectively, which are convertible into 16,707,515 and 22,166,875 shares of common stock, respectively.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021 and 2020, we had 3,000,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred stock outstanding which are convertible into 300,000,000 shares of common stock.

The table below details the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

The following table sets for the computation of diluted earnings per share:

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company measures the fair value of its assets and liabilities under ASC topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". ASC 820 defines "fair value" as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There was no impact relating to the adoption of ASC 820 to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

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 deferred revenue. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

INVENTORY

Inventory consists of components held for assembly and finished goods held for resale or to be utilized for installation in projects. Inventory is valued at lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company's policy is to record a reserve for technological obsolescence or slow-moving inventory items. The Company only carries finished goods to be shipped along with completed circuit boards and parts necessary for final assembly of finished product. All existing inventory is considered current and usable. The Company recorded no reserve for obsolete inventory as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company had advertising costs of $5,025 and $3,532 during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

All newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

At December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, property and equipment, net, is as follows:

Depreciation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, was $814 and $451, respectively.

NOTE 4 - EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

Preferred Stock Dividends

As of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the cumulative arrearage of undeclared dividends for Series A Preferred stock totaled $134,342 and $123,998, respectively.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Through December 1, 2021, the Company leased its office space from VoiceInterop the Company's former wholly owned subsidiary and now 96% owned by our shareholders for approximately $1,400 per month. On February 14, 2020, VoiceInterop was deconsolidated and is no longer our subsidiary. Rent expense incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $5,886 and $4,473, respectively (See Note 6).

As of December 31, 2021, the Company advanced $51,187 to VoiceInterop, the Company's former wholly owned subsidiary and now 96% owned by our shareholders. The amount is included in due from related party on the consolidated balance sheet. The amount is due on demand and bears interest at 5% effective June 30, 2021.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Obligation Under Operating Lease

Through December 1, 2021, the Company leases approximately 1,700 square feet for its principal offices in Boca Raton, Florida at a monthly rental of approximately $3,500, which expired in November 2018. VoiceInterop executed a new 3-year lease with its current landlord on December 1, 2018 for the same office space. The lease provided one month free as a concession. The monthly rent is $3,630 and provides for annual increases of base rent of 4% until the expiration date. The lease expires on November 30, 2021. Upon the deconsolidation, the Company subleases the office space from VoiceInterop at approximately $1,400 per month.

On December 1, 2021, the Company signed a one year lease approximately 2,000 square feet for our principal offices in Boca Raton, Florida. The monthly rent is $2,200. The lease expires on November 30, 2022.

Rent expense incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $5,886 and $4,473, respectively.

Revenue and Accounts Receivable Concentration

For the three months ended December 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 14% of the Company's revenues .

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, one customer accounted for 11% of the Company's revenues.

As of December 31, 2021, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total outstanding accounts receivable.

As of September 30, 2021, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total outstanding accounts receivable.

Major Supplier and Sole Manufacturing Source

During 2014, the Company developed a proprietary interoperable communications solution. The Company relies on no major supplier for its products and services. The Company has contracted with a single local manufacturing facility to provide completed circuit boards used in the assembly of its IP gateway devices. Interruption to the manufacturing source presents additional risk to the Company. The Company believes that other commercial facilities exist at competitive rates to match the resources and capabilities of its existing manufacturing source.

Employment Agreements

In December 2016, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Larry M. Reid as Chief Executive Officer of the corporation and appointed Mr. Reid as Chief Financial Officer. The Board also appointed Michael M. Moore as Chief Executive Officer.

Under the terms of an employment agreement effective on November 28, 2016, Mr. Moore as CEO receives an annual salary of $200,000. The term of agreement is for a one-year period beginning on the effective date and shall automatically renew and continue in effect for additional one-year periods.

The term of agreement is for a one-year period beginning on the effective date and shall automatically renew and continue in effect for additional one-year periods. Effective October 1, 2021, the annual compensation increased to $104,000.

Exclusive Licensing Agreement

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

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

The Company paid USFRF a License Issue Fee of $6,000 and $953 as reimbursement of expenses associated with the filing of the Licensed Patent. The company agreed to pay USFRF a royalty of 3% for sales of all Licensed Products and Licensed Processes and agreed to pay USFRF minimum royalty payments as follows:

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

Overview

 

Cleartronic, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on November 15, 1999. All current operations are conducted through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, ReadyOp Communications, Inc. (“ReadyOp”), a Florida corporation incorporated on September 15, 2014.ReadyOp facilitates the marketing and sales of subscriptions to the ReadyOp^™ and ReadyMed^™ platform and the AudioMate IP gateways discussed below.

 

ReadyOp is a proprietary, innovative web-based planning, communications and operations platform for efficiently and effectively planning, managing, communicating, and directing operations and emergency response.

ReadyOp is offered as a software as a service (SAAS) program on an annual contract basis although an increasing number of clients have requested multi-year agreements.

 

In March 2018, the Company approved the spin-off of VoiceInterop, Inc. (“Voiceinterop”), one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, into a separate company under a Form S-1 registration filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, the Company has presented the operations of this subsidiary as discontinued operations.

 

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

 

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020

 

Revenue

 

Revenues increased 36.15% to $519,185 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to $381,338 for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The primary reason for the increase in revenue was due to an increase subscriptions to the ReadyOp platform increased from $369,740 in 2020 to $449,500 in 2021, or approximately 21.57% and slightly offset by a decrease in sales of ReadyOp hardware products from $5,800 in 2020 to $2,000 in 2021. Consulting fees and related income increased from $5,798 in 2020 to $67,685 in 2021 due to more training activity and sale of thermal scanners in the three months ended December 31, 2021.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenues was $92,236 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to $60,334 for the three months ended December 31, 2020.Gross profits were $426,949 and $321,004 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Gross profit margins decreased from 84% for the three months ended December 31, 2020 to 82% for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to higher costs associated with sales of subscriptions to the ReadyOp platform.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased 28.85% to $366,534 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $284,465 for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due increases in selling, administrative expense, research and development and depreciation expense. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, selling expenses were $188,545 compared to $160,859 for the three months ended December 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in advertising, travel and commissions expense. General and administrative expenses increased by $35,549 or 38.49% as a result of increase in general business expenses. Depreciation expense increased by 80.49% from $451 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 to $814 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 due to the additional computer equipment purchased during the period. Research and development expenses were $30,789 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $49,260 for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to expenses associated with the development of a new technology associated with a patent owned by the University of South Florida Research Foundation and an increase in salary. The Company has obtained the exclusive license to develop and market the technology associated with the patent. 

 

Other Expenses

 

The Company's other expenses decreased to $168 from other expense of $1,115 during the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020. The primary reason for this decrease was a decrease in interest expense as the notes payable were fully repaid in the prior year.

 

Income from Operations

 

The Company’s income from operations was $60,247 during the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to $35,424 for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

An evaluation was conducted by the registrant’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the registrant’s controls and procedures were effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the registrant files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

Change in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a–15 or Rule 15d–15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the registrant’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

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

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

 The registrant claimed exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the securities pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof in as much as no public offering was involved. The shares were not offered or sold by means of: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium, or broadcast over television or radio, (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising, or (iii) any other form of general solicitation or advertising and the purchases were made for investment and not with a view to distribution. Each of the purchasers was, at the time of the purchaser’s respective purchase, an accredited investor, as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 and had access to sufficient information concerning the registrant and the offering.
