NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business
Grow Capital, Inc. (the "Company," “we,” or “us”) (f/k/a Grown Condos, Inc.) was incorporated on October 22, 1999, in the State of Nevada.
Our former wholly owned subsidiary, WCS Enterprises, LLC (“WCS”) is an Oregon limited liability company which was formed on September 9, 2013 with operations beginning in October 2013. WCS is a real estate purchaser,
developer and manager of specific use industrial properties providing "Condo" style turn-key aeroponics grow facilities to support cannabis farmers. WCS owns, leases, sells and manages multi- tenant properties so as to reduce the risk of ownership
and reduce costs to tenants and owners. WCS owned a condominium property in Eagle Point, Oregon (the “Eagle Point Property”). On September 30, 2019, we sold WCS to the Wayne A. Zallen Trust u/a/d/ 10/24/2014 (the “Zallen Trust”), of which Wayne
Zallen, our former CEO and Chairman, is the trustee and a beneficiary. See Note 5 for further information.
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Resort at Lake Selmac, Inc. (formerly Smoke on the Water, Inc.) was incorporated on October 21, 2016, in the State of Nevada. The name change was effected February 3, 2020. Resort at Lake
Selmac is focused on operating properties in the RV and campground rental industry and currently owns the Lake Selmac Resort located at 2700 Lakeshore Drive, Selma, Oregon (the “Lake Selmac Property”).
Our wholly owned subsidiary Bombshell Technologies, Inc. (“Bombshell”), was formed as Bombshell Technologies, LLC on November 5, 2018 and converted into a C corporation on June 24, 2019. We acquired Bombshell on July
23, 2019 (See Note 4). Bombshell is a full-service design and software development company focused on developing and selling software to financial services firms and advisors and is the first acquisition as part of our strategic shift into the
financial technology (“FinTech”) sector and related sectors.
On June 22, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase our authorized capital to 180,000,000 shares, consisting of 175,000,000 shares of common stock
(“Common Stock”), par value $0.001, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”), par value $0.001 (the “Recapitalization”) and to change the name of the Company to “Grow Capital, Inc.” The Company filed articles of amendment with the
State of Nevada to effect the aforementioned changes on July 10, 2018 and August 28, 2018, respectively. The Company received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") for the above noted corporate actions on August 8, 2019.
On July 23, 2019, and effective July 25, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company and the holders of our outstanding capital stock having a majority of the voting power, respectively, adopted resolutions to amend
and restate our articles of incorporation to increase our authorized capital to 550,000,000 shares, consisting of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The effective date of the aforementioned actions was August
29, 2019.
In connection with its name change, the Company adopted a business plan focused on shifting the Company’s strategy away from rental activities focused in the cannabis industry and into the FinTech sector and related
sectors. In connection with this strategy, the Company hired a new Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and appointed a new chairman of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), all of whom have significant
experience in the FinTech sector. The Company intends to acquire FinTech companies, such as Bombshell (see Note 4), with a clear niche and strong leadership and use its experience and understanding of the FinTech sector and access to the public
markets to help its acquisitions grow. The Company is currently in the process of identifying and pursuing suitable acquisitions. In connection with the shift in the Company’s strategy away from rental activities focused in the cannabis industry,
the Company sold WCS on September 30, 2019 and its operations up to the date of sale were included as Assets and Liabilities’ Held for Sale. (Note 5). While the Company actively marketed the Resort at Lake Selmac during the first and second quarters
of fiscal 2020, given the current market conditions, the Company let the listing agreement expire on March 31, 2020 and we decided to continue operating the business until such time as a viable exit strategy for the resort is identified.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business (continued)
On May 13, 2020, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved an amended and restated certificate of incorporation to, among other things, effect a reverse split on the outstanding shares of the Company’s
common stock on a one-for-20 basis (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective on July 30, 2020 and has been shown on a retroactive basis within all periods presented. The par values of the common were not adjusted as a
result of the reverse stock split.
Keeping with management’s determination to acquire complementary revenue generating operations, on August 19, 2020, the Company acquired PERA LLC, a Nevada limited liability company
(“PERA”), pursuant to an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), effective as of August 3, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and between PERA, the members of PERA (the “PERA Members”), and the Company. As a result, PERA became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. At the time of the acquisition of PERA LLC, the Company determined that Appreciation Financial was under common control with PERA LLC, as they are both controlled by our Chief Operating Officer, Terry Kennedy (see Note
4). Additionally, Appreciation was considered to be a primary beneficiary of PERA LLC. The Company has had discussions with the members of Appreciation Financial about potential combinations, which as of the date of these financial statements are
not yet probable. However, because of the nature of the relationship, the Company determined that while Appreciation Financial is not a variable interest entity to the Company, the nature of the common control relationship coupled with the
inter-relationship with PERA LLC meant that in order for the results of operations and financial position to not be misleading, the Company had to combine its results with those of Appreciation Financial upon the acquisition of PERA, LLC.
With the acquisition of PERA LLC, and concurrent combination of the operations of Appreciation Financial, the Company expanded its operations into lead generation services and insurance brokerage.
PERA LLC provides public employee retirement serving as an appointment portal for agents to schedule qualified appointments with public employee seeking financial planning for retirement and other associated insurance coverage. Appreciation
Financial LLC has a network of member agents offering full-service retirement planning servicing public employees and their families providing policies from a series of insurance carriers that meet their retirement planning requirements.
As the Company looks to continue to expand in the financial technology and related sectors, Grow Capital expects to identify additional acquisition targets, complete those acquisitions, and grow
its complementary operating companies. Any potential acquisitions or divestitures remain subject to final agreements, due diligence, and typical closing conditions.
Going Concern
During the three month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company reported a net loss of $1,001,336 and $248,893 respectively. The Company had a working capital deficit of $1,612,666 with approximately $1,495,517 of cash on hand as
of September 30, 2020. Cash provided by operations totaled $300,908 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company continues to work actively to increase its customer/client base and increase gross profit in Bombshell Technologies
and PERA LLC, in order to achieve net profitability by the close of fiscal 2021. For any operational shortfalls, the Company intends to rely on sales of our unregistered common stock, loans and advances until such time as we achieve profitable
operations. In addition, the current presentation is based on the fact that the Company is currently in negotiations to acquire Appreciation Financial LLC and its related entities. Should that not occur, its possible that the Company will no
longer combine its results with those of Appreciation Financial LLC and its related entities. If the Company fails to generate positive cash flow or obtain additional financing, when required and on acceptable terms, the Company may have to modify,
delay, or abandon some or all of its business and expansion plans, and potentially cease operations altogether. Consequently, the aforementioned items raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one
year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business (continued)
Covid-19 Pandemic
The recent COVID-19 pandemic could have an adverse impact on our ongoing operations. To date the Company’s primary operating segments, Bombshell and Pera LLC have not experienced a decline in sales as a result of the
impact of COVID-19, and in fact, have increased sales due to the increase in demand for virtual appointments which can be serviced by PERA LCC as a part of their core operational mandate. In addition, the Company’s operations in the FinTech sector
are carried out with a limited amount of person to person contact and we do not expect an impact on these operations as a result of COVID 19, however, the full effect of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report, is
highly uncertain and subject to change. Operations of the Company’s Resort at Lake Selmac property were delayed until July 2020 when the government permitted the resort to reopen, however since that time the resort has continued to receive regular
bookings and has returned to normal operating parameters. As a result, Management does not expect the delay in opening the resort for the 2020-2021 season to substantially impact profitable operations for this business in the long term. Management
is actively monitoring the situation but given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its operations or financial condition in the next 12 months. While significant
uncertainty remains, the Company does not believe the COVID-19 outbreak will have a negative impact on its ability to raise additional financing, conclude the acquisition of targeted business operations or reach profitable operations.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The unaudited
condensed financial statements included herein are unaudited. Such financial statements, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods
indicated. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature outside of the combination of Appreciation Financial. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending June 30, 2021 or for any
other period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
and because of this, for further information, readers should refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 filed on October 13, 2020. The Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the interim information presented not misleading.
Consolidation and Combination
The Company’s policy is to consolidate all entities that it controls by ownership of a majority of the outstanding voting stock. In addition, upon the acquisition of PERA LLC, the Company combined entities that met the
criteria of having common control with Grow Capital and its controlled subsidiaries. Upon the acquisition of PERA LLC (see below), the Company identified certain common control entities, the operations of which are included in our consolidated and
combined financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements include the accounts of Grow Capital Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bombshell Technologies Inc., The Resort at Lake Selmac
and PERA LLC, as well as PERA Administrators LLC, the operations of which are for the sole benefit of PERA LLC. In addition, the Company has combined the results of Appreciation Financial LLC and Appreciation Rewards LLC. At the time of the
acquisition of PERA LLC, the Company determined that Appreciation Financial was the primary beneficiary of PERA LLC. In addition, the Company determined that it has common ownership with Appreciation Financial and the Company has had discussions
with the members of Appreciation Financial about potential combinations, which as of the date of these financial statements are not yet probable. However, because of the nature of the relationship, the Company determined that while Appreciation
Financial is not a variable interest entity to the Company, the nature of the common control relationship coupled with the inter-relationship with PERA LLC meant that in order for the results of operations and financial
position to not be misleading, the Company had to combine its results with those of Appreciation Financial upon the acquisition of PERA, LLC.

GROW CAPITAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Reported operations in the three months ended September 30, 2020 include operations of our wholly owned subsidiaries Bombshell and The Resort at Lake Selmac, as as well as the results of operations by PERA LLC and its
common control entities for the period from acquisition (August 19, 2020 through September 30, 2020). In addition, September 30, 2020 operating results also include the combined results of both Appreciation Financial LLC Appreciations Rewards LLC
for the period from August 19, 2020 to September 30, 2020. Results for the comparative three month period ended September 30, 2019 include Grow Capital, Bombshell and the Resort at Lake Selmac.
All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation and with and between the combined entities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to estimates and
assumptions include timing of recognition of commission revenue on insurance policy renewals and expenses related thereto, along with costs associated with policy acquisition and our allowance for doubtful accounts and useful lives of our fixed
assets related to Lake Selmac. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial accounting purposes, cash and cash equivalents are considered to be all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three (3) months or less at the time of purchase.
Concentrations
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $272,767 and $0 in excess of the FDIC insured limit, respectively.
Concentration Risk - Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, one customer accounted for 53% of combined and consolidated gross revenue, 57% of combined and consolidated revenue from non-related parties and 70% of revenue recorded by Appreciation Financial
LLC. The contribution of revenue to the three month operating period ended September 30, 2020 was derived from operations of Appreciation Financial LLC for the period between August 19, 2020 and September 30, 2020.
Concentration of Financing Risk
Appreciation Financial is dependent upon on its largest customer for financing of its operations. That customer has provided commission advances of approximately $3.3 million and loans of
approximately $4.8 million as of September 30, 2020.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time the accounts receivable are beyond the contractual payment terms, previous loss history, and
the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation. When the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, the Company records a charge to the allowance to reduce the customer’s related
accounts. At September 30, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled approximately $41,400.
Lease Receivables and deferred rent
Lease receivables are recognized when rents are due, and for the straight-line adjustment to rents over the term of the lease less an allowance for expected uncollectible amounts. Inherent in the assessment of the
allowance for doubtful accounts are certain judgments and estimates including, among others, the customer's willingness or ability to pay, the Company's compliance with lease terms, the effect of general economic conditions and the ongoing
relationship with the customer. Accounts with outstanding balances longer than the payment terms are considered past due. We do not charge interest on past due balances. The Company writes off lease receivables when it determines that they have
become uncollectible after all reasonable collection efforts have been made. If we record bad debt expense, the amount is reflected as a component of operating expenses in the statements of operations.
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02 – Topic 842 Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires that most leases be recognized on the
financial statements, specifically the recognition of right-to-use assets and related lease liabilities, and enhanced disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard requires using the modified retrospective transition method and apply ASU 2016-02 either at (i) latter of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements or commencement
date of the lease, or (ii) the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company has elected to apply the standard at the beginning period of adoption, July 1, 2019 which resulted in no cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. On July 30, 2018, the
FASB issued ASU 2018-11 to provide entities with relief from the costs of implementing certain aspects of the new leasing standard, ASU 2016-02 (codified as ASC 842). Specifically, under the amendments in ASU 2018-11: (i) Entities may elect not to
recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to ASC 842 (Issue 1), and (ii) Lessors may elect not to separate lease and nonlease components when certain conditions are met (Issue 2).

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Leases (cont'd)
The Company has elected to apply the short-term scope exception for leases with terms of 12 months or less at the inception of the lease and will continue to
recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis. As a result of the adoption, on July 1, 2019, the Company recognized a lease liability of approximately $291,753, which represented the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments using an
estimated incremental borrowing rate of 6.75%. As of July 1, 2019, the Company recognized a right-to-use asset of approximately $289,089. Lease expense did not change materially as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02. As a result of the
acquisition of PERA LLC and combined entity Appreciation Financial LLC, as of August 19, 2020 the Company recognized a right to use asset of $157,795 and a lease liability of $153,413 with respect to PERA LLC and a right to use asset of $1,575,145
and a lease liability of $1,598,068 with respect to combined entity Appreciation Financial LLC.
Intangible Assets
The Company’s intangible assets consist of intellectual property with minimal value.
Investment In and Valuation of Real Estate Assets
Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Amounts capitalized to real estate assets consist of the cost of acquisition (excluding acquisition related expenses), construction
costs, and mortgage interest during the period the facilities are under construction and prior to readiness for occupancy, and any tenant improvements, major improvements and betterments that extend the useful life of the real estate assets and
leasing costs. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its depreciable assets. The Company considers the period of future benefit of each respective asset to determine the appropriate useful
life of the assets. Real estate assets, other than land, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.
The estimated useful lives of the Company's real estate assets by class are generally as follows:
Land
|
Indefinite
|
Buildings
|
40 years
|
Tenant improvements
|
Lesser of useful life or lease term
|
Intangible lease assets
|
Lease term
|
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company monitors its long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles for indicators of impairment. If such indicators are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of affected assets by determining whether
the carrying value of such assets is less than the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets. If such assets are found not to be recoverable, the Company measures the amount of such impairment by comparing the carrying value of the
assets to the fair value of the assets, with the fair value generally determined based on the present value of the expected future cash flows associated with the assets (See Note 6).
Share-based compensation
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. Unregistered stock awards are measured based on the fair
market values of the underlying stock on the dates of grant. For service type awards, share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the
entire award. For awards that vest or begin vesting upon achievement of a performance condition, the Company estimates the likelihood of satisfaction of the performance condition and recognizes compensation expense when achievement of the performance
condition is deemed probable using an accelerated attribution model.
Revenue Recognition under ASC 606
The Company has adopted accounting standard, ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and all related amendments to the new accounting standard to contracts.
Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when control of promised goods and services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in
exchange for those goods or services.
The Company recognizes revenue using the five-step model as prescribed by ASC 606:
1)
|
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
|
2)
|
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
|
3)
|
Determination of the transaction price;
|
4)
|
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
|
5)
|
Recognition of revenue when or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition under ASC 606 (cont'd)
When a contract with a customer or an agent is signed, the Company assesses whether collection of the fees under the arrangement is probable. The Company estimates the amount to reserve for uncollectible amounts at the
end of each reporting period based on the aging of the contract balance, current and historical customer trends, and communications with its customers. These reserves are recorded against the related accounts receivable.
The transaction price is the consideration that the Company expects to receive from its customers and agents in exchange for its products or services. In determining the allocation of the transaction price, the Company
identifies performance obligations in contracts with customers, which may include subscriptions to software and services, support, professional services and customization. In the case of the Company’s software contracts and support services prices
are predetermined based on the specific terms of the contract either in flat fee customization/license fee charges or as hourly support and/or software customization charges. Charges relative to license fees are amortized over the term of the
license. Charges relative to customization of the software are charged over the term of the scope of work on a percentage of completion basis. Charges relative to support and ongoing services and professional fees are charged when incurred and
control has been transferred or the work has been completed. Income earned through the sale of appointments to agents by PERA LLC are recognized on the date of the service appointment.
License fees and customization of software
License and implementation fees are charged as flat fees which are amortized over the term of the contract. For contracts with elements related to customized software solutions and certain build-outs or software
systems that require significant modification or customization, the Company will recognize revenue using the percentage-of-completion method. In using the percentage-of-completion method, revenues are generally recorded based on completion of
milestones under a scope of work or based on total estimated cost of work and percentage completion as at the balance sheet date.
Software Revenue
The Company generates software revenue monthly on a single fee per subscribed user basis. The Company recognizes software revenue monthly on a per user for each user that is able to deploy software and provided all
revenue recognition criteria have been met. If the revenue recognition criteria has not been met, the revenue is deferred or not recognized.
Customization, support and maintenance
Revenue from the Company’s customization of software to meet a particular client’s needs is recognized on a percentage of completion basis over the term of the customization work and until control of the goods or
services is transferred to the customer or such date the customer agrees the scope of work has been completed and the intended functionality of the software is complete and able to perform the desired service. Support and maintenance revenue is
generated from recurring monthly support and is invoiced monthly based on hourly fees at predetermined rates based on each customer contract.
The Customer is credited a certain number of services hours monthly based on the numbers of users actively subscribed to the software which amounts offset any monthly user fees.
Support and maintenance services include e-mail and telephone support, unspecified rights to software fixes and product updates and upgrades and enhancements available on a when-and-if available basis.
Professional services and other
Professional services and other revenue is generated through services including onsite training, product implementation and other similar services. Professional services are generally flat fee services based on a
number of hours or scope of work for each specific service. Depending on the services to be provided, revenue from professional services and other is generally recognized at the time of delivery when the services have been completed and control has
been transferred.
Income from agent appointments
Income generated by booking appointments for insurance agents is earned on the date on which the appointment takes place. Appointment fees which are collected in advance of appointments are recorded as unearned
revenue.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition under ASC 606 (cont'd)
Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenue represents billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized upon transfer of control. Balances consist primarily of appointment fees collected from member agents where
the client appointment has not yet occurred, license fees being amortized over the term of the customer contract and customization services which have not yet been concluded and are being deferred using the percentage-of-completion method.
Campground space rentals and concession sales
Revenues from our campsite operations from the sales of concession items, equipment rentals or campsite locations are recoded on the cash basis due to the nature of collection of campsite fees and concession items,
which occur daily as the site is rented and sundry items are purchased.
Appreciation Financial LLC earns commissions paid by insurance carriers for the binding of insurance coverage. Commissions are earned at a point in time upon the effective date of bound insurance
coverage, as no performance obligation exists after coverage is bound. If there are other services within the contract, Appreciation estimates the stand-alone selling price for each separate performance obligation, and the corresponding apportioned
revenue is recognized over a period of time as the performance obligations are fulfilled. Incentive commissions represent a form of variable consideration which includes additional commissions over base commissions received from insurance carriers
based on predetermined production levels mutually agreed upon by both parties. Incentive commissions are estimated with a constraint applied and accrued relative to the recognition of the corresponding core commissions based on the amount of
consideration that will be received in the coming year such that a significant reversal of revenue is not probable. Advance Commissions are paid by insurance carriers under agreed terms of certain individual customer policies. Advance Commissions
are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized over the term of the contract.
Appreciation Management determines the policy cancellation reserve based upon historical cancellation experience adjusted for any known circumstance.
Commission revenues – Prior to the adoption of Topic 606, commission revenues, including those billed on an installment basis, were recognized on the latter of the policy effective date or the date that the premium was
billed to the customer. As a result of the adoption of Topic 606, commission revenues associated with the issuance of policies are now recognized upon the effective date of the associated policy. The overall impact of these changes is expected to be
significant.. These commission revenues, including those billed on an installment basis, will now be recognized earlier than they had been previously. Revenue is accrued based upon the completion of the performance obligation, thereby creating a
current asset for the unbilled revenue, until such time as an invoice is generated.
Incentive and contingent commissions – Prior to the adoption of Topic 606, revenue that was not fixed and determinable because a contingency existed was not recognized until the contingency was resolved. Under Topic
606, Appreciation must estimate the amount of consideration that will be received in the coming year such that a significant reversal of revenue is not probable. Incentive and contingent commissions represent a form of variable consideration
associated with the placement of coverage, for which we earn commissions and fees. In connection with Topic 606, these commissions are estimated with a constraint applied and accrued relative to the recognition of the corresponding core
commissions. The resulting effect on the timing of recognizing of these contingent commissions will now more closely follow a similar pattern as our commissions and fees with any true-ups recognized when payments are received or as additional
information that affects the estimate becomes available.
Fee Revenues: Appreciation earns fee revenue related to the onboarding of its agents which is recorded at the time of the transaction.

Additionally, Appreciation is required to evaluate the impact of ASC Topic 340 – Other Assets and Deferred Cost (“ASC 340”) which requires companies to defer certain incremental cost to obtain customer contracts, and
certain costs to fulfill customer contracts.
Incremental cost to obtain – The adoption of ASC 340 is expected to result in Appreciation deferring certain costs to obtain customer contracts primarily as they relate to commission-based compensation for which the
Company pays an incremental amount of compensation on new business. These incremental costs are expected to be deferred and amortized based on the term of customer polices and expected renewals.
Cost to fulfill – The adoption of ASC 340 may result in Appreciation deferring certain costs to fulfill contracts and recognizing costs as the associated performance obligations are fulfilled. In order for contract
fulfillment costs to be deferred under ASC 340, the costs must (1) relate directly to a specific contract or anticipated contract, (2) generate or enhance resources that Appreciation will use in satisfying its obligations under the contract, and (3)
be expected to be recovered through sufficient net cash flows from the contract.
As of the filing date, Appreciation Financial is unable to estimate with certainty its historical renewal rates for the insurance policies previously sold and therefore has not included commission revenue to be earned
upon renewal based on this estimate. This also means that Appreciation is unable to estimate the costs to be deferred under ASC 340, or the costs to be expensed upon recognition of renewal revenue under ASC 606. Appreciation Financial prior to the
combination of its financial statements herein did not previously report the results of its operations and financial position under US GAAP and is currently in the process of developing the systems and processes in which to estimate these amounts.
The Company currently expects that the processes and systems will be in place for the reporting for the Company’s year ended June 30, 2021 financial statements.
The Company follows the fair value measurement rules, which provides guidance on the use of fair value in accounting and disclosure for assets and liabilities when such accounting and disclosure is called for by other
accounting literature. These rules establish a fair value hierarchy for inputs to be used to measure fair value of financial assets and liabilities. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three
levels: Level 1 (highest priority), Level 2, and Level 3 (lowest priority).
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the balance sheet date.
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in
active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that
are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3—Inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company’s assumptions as to what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information
available.
The carrying amount of receivables and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The
carrying amounts of lease receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value given their short-term nature or effective interest rates, which constitutes level three inputs.
Income taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
tax bases and net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be recovered
or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is not more likely than not
that all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets will be realized.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income taxes (cont'd)
In the quarters ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company issued a significant number of new shares in its acquisition of PERA LLC and Bombshell Technologies, Inc. (see Note 4) and the cancellation of then
outstanding shares upon the sale of WCS Enterprises, LLC (see Note 5). The effect of these issuances and cancellations is that most likely, the Company experienced the requisite change of control as promulgated under the US Internal Revenue Code
section 382. The effect of this will be that going forward, the ability of the Company to utilize the US Federal net operating loss carryforwards of Grow Capital, Inc. from prior to these transactions will be limited in its usage. In order to
determine the specific effect, the Company must perform the computations required under the Internal Revenue Code, which have not yet been performed. The Company expects it will perform the required computations once its evident that profits are
likely.
Net (loss) income per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period and contains no dilutive securities. Diluted
earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive due to the Company's losses
from operations.
All dilutive common stock equivalents are reflected in our earnings (loss) per share calculations. Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents are not included in our earnings (loss) per share calculations.
There were no potential shares outstanding as of September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Reclassification
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. These reclassifications had no effect
on net income for the prior periods. In addition, we previously included the results of operations and financial position of the Resort on Lake Selmac for the period ended September 30, 2019 in discontinued operations and assets and liabilities held
for sale, respectively. Subsequent to the original Form 10-Q filing for the period ended September 30, 2019, we no longer had a plan of sale and therefore the results of Lake Selmac and its financial position are now included in our results from
continuing operations and cash flows for the period ended September 30, 2019.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2018-03”). In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for
Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments in the standard apply to all entities that are required, under existing GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies, and adds certain
disclosure requirements in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The standard is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.
The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be
applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is
permitted upon issuance of ASU 2018-13. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU 2018-13 and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently
assessing the impact that ASU 2018-13 will have on its financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (cont'd)
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” to require the
measurement of expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more
decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date.
The standard was originally effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2018. However, in November 2019, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) — Effective Dates (“ASU 2019-10”). ASU 2019-10 deferred the adoption date for (i) public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities
eligible to be “smaller reporting companies” as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and (2) all other entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As of June 30, 2020, the Company qualified as a smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated
financial statements but does not anticipate there to be a material impact.

Note 4 – Merger with PERA LLC
On August 19, 2020, the Company acquired PERA LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“PERA”), pursuant to an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), effective as of August 3, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by
and between PERA, the members of PERA (the “PERA Members”), and the Company (the “Closing”), concurrently, PERA became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Eric Tarno, the current President of PERA, will continue to serve as the President of
PERA. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, at the Closing, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interests of PERA (the “PERA Ownership Interests”) in exchange for 9,358,185 unregistered restricted shares of the Company’s common
stock (the “GC Common Stock”) on a pro rata basis (the “Exchange”). At the Closing, the PERA Members conveyed all of the right, title and interest in and to the PERA Ownership Interests in exchange for the right to receive a number of shares of GC
Common Stock equal to an exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”).

Note 4 – Merger with PERA LLC (continued)
The Exchange Ratio is calculated by dividing (a) the Exchange Shares (as defined below) by (b) the total number of shares of PERA Ownership Interests outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date. “Exchange
Shares” means the number of shares of GC Common Stock obtained by dividing (a) $10,000,000 by (b) the 10-day volume weighted average price per share (“VWAP”) calculated immediately before the date that a reverse stock split of GC Common Stock became
effective on OTCQB, July 30, 2020. In addition, if PERA meets certain yearly targeted gross revenues for each of year one, two, and three following the Closing, the PERA owners may earn a cumulative total of up to $5,000,000 of shares of GC Common
Stock (the “Earn-out Shares”) to be determined using the applicable 10-day VWAP stock price of the Company’s common stock preceding each earn-out period calculation date as set forth in the Exchange Agreement in connection with all of the three
years, subject to certain catch up provisions if such yearly period targets are not met in the applicable period. At the Closing the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with
the PERA Members to register the GC Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Exchange. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has granted certain demand and piggy-back registration rights whereby the Company will register
the resale of the GC Common Stock issued in the Exchange. The PERA Members include certain limited liability companies owned by (i) Terry Kennedy, the CEO of the Company, (ii) Jonathan Bonnette, the CTO of the Company and the CEO of Bombshell (iii)
Joel Bonnette, the President of Bombshell and brother of Jonathan Bonnette, and (iv) Carl Sanko, a director and Secretary of the Company, and (v) Jared Bonnette, brother of Jonathan Bonnette.
The acquisition of PERA was not accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Due to the related party and common control relationships held between
Bombshell and Grow Capital, Inc., the assets and liabilities of Bombshell transferred over to the Company at their historical carrying values.

Note 5 – Assets Held for Sale
In the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company began to actively market WCS for sale and has begun negotiations with certain parties for the sale of WCS, subject to diligence, negotiation of a purchase agreement and
fulfillment of typical closing conditions. In connection with these efforts, management determined that it was appropriate to classify WCS as Assets Held for Sale.
On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with the Zallen Trust pursuant to which the Company sold all of the Company’s membership interests in WCS for an aggregate
purchase price of $782,450. The Zallen Trust paid the purchase price by transferring to the Company 434,694 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, valued at $2.00 per share. The Purchase Agreement also provided that Mr. Zallen transfer to the Company
an additional 20,000 shares of Common Stock to settle $36,000 in back rent owed at the time of the sale. The Company retired all of the shares received as a result of the transaction. In connection with the sale of WCS, the Company and Mr. Zallen
entered into a separation and release of claims agreement pursuant to which the Company and Mr. Zallen provided a mutual release of claims against the other party and such party’s affiliates, including all claims related to Mr. Zallen’s service as an
officer, employee, and director of the Company. The release of claims by Mr. Zallen resulted in the forgiveness of salary accruals of approximately $367,000 for services provided up to June 30, 2018. The Company reversed related payroll taxes of
approximately $61,000 and included the amount in the gain on sale. The shares issued in the Exchange are subject to certain registration rights with no liquidated damages for failure to complete registration by a specific date.
After payment of all closing costs, the Company recorded a gain on sale of approximately $553,000. (See detail below)

Note 7 – Promissory Note Receivable
On July 8, 2019, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) to acquire Encompass More Group, Inc. (“Encompass”), a Nevada corporation. In connection with the LOI, Encompass issued a promissory
note (the “Note”) to the Company pursuant to a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), dated July 22, 2019, by and between Encompass and the Company, in exchange for a loan of $100,000 (the “Loan”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the proceeds of the
Loan will be used by Encompass for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Note has a twelve-month term, an interest rate of 5.0%, and is payable in monthly installments of $2,000, with all remaining principal and interest due on the
maturity date, unless paid earlier by Encompass.
The Board of Directors of the Company have determined not to proceed with the acquisition as contemplated under the LOI.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, the Company received $16,000 towards monthly installments. We recorded interest income of $6,304 during the period ended June 30, 2020. The Note receivable balance at June
30, 2020 was $88,510.
On September 25, 2020 the Company and Encompass More Group Inc. (the “Borrower”) entered into an addendum to the July 22, 2019 Commercial Loan Agreement (the “Addendum”) in order to modify certain of the terms and
conditions. Under the Addendum, the Borrower shall enter into a new promissory note in the principal amount of $72,000, with any unpaid interest due and payable at June 30, 2020 to accrue and become due and payable on October 1, 2021. Further under
the terms of the promissory note the Borrower shall make twelve (12) installment payments of $6,000 commencing November 1, 2020, until the principal balance of the loan is repaid in full, at which time all accrued and unpaid interest shall come due
and payable. Interest on the promissory note shall continue to accrue at a rate of Five (5%) per annum. Concurrent with the execution of the Addendum, the Borrower made a lump sum payment of $16,510 to reduce the principal of the original $100,000
loan to $72,000. Payments through January 31, 2021 have been received as of the date of this report. The Company believes the note to be fully collectible as of September 30, 2020.

In March 2017, the Company acquired the Lake Selmac Property. Upon closing, the Company entered into a promissory note payable with the seller in the amount of $625,000 with a maturity date of March 6, 2022. The
promissory note had an interest rate of 5% per annum covering the monthly payments of $3,355 for the initial 12 months, which increased to 6% per annum for the monthly payments of $3,747 for the following 48 months. Upon maturity, the remaining
balance due on the note is required to be paid through a balloon payment. The Company has irrevocably granted to First American Trust Company, as the Trustee the power to sell the property with the sellers as the beneficiaries. The purpose of grant
is to secure performance on the promissory note.
As of September 30, 2020, the approximate future aggregate principal payments in respect of our current obligations were as follows:

On May 1, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note with the US Small Business Administration (SBA) for funding in the amount of $250,772 with an interest rate of 1% per annum under the
payroll protection program (PPP). Principal and interest payments are deferred during the first six (6) months of the term of this Note (the “Deferral Period”). Interest will continue to accrue on the outstanding principal balance during the
Deferral Period. After proceeds of this Note have been expended by Borrower, but not sooner than eight weeks after the date of initial disbursement on this Note, Borrower may submit to Lender a request for forgiveness of the Loan. Borrower must
submit all documentation required by Lender to verify number of full-time equivalent employees and pay rates, as well as the payments on eligible mortgage, lease, and utility obligations, certifying that the documents are true and that Borrower used
the forgiveness amount to keep employees and make eligible mortgage interest, rent, and utility payments. Lender will notify Borrower within 60 days whether all or part of the requested forgiveness of the Loan has been approved. If the entire

Overview
On June 22, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase our authorized capital to 180,000,000 shares, consisting of 175,000,000 shares of common stock
(“Common Stock”), par value $0.001, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”), par value $0.001 (the “Recapitalization”) and to change the name of the Company to “Grow Capital, Inc.” in order to reflect our plans to expand our
business focus into the financial technology (“FinTech”) sector. The Company filed articles of amendment with the State of Nevada to effect the aforementioned changes on July 10, 2018 and August 28, 2018, respectively. The Company received approval
from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") for the above noted corporate actions on August 8, 2019.
In connection with this strategy, the Company hired a new Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and appointed a new chairman of the Company’s board of directors, all of whom have
significant experience in the FinTech sector. The Company intends to acquire FinTech companies with a clear niche and strong leadership and use its experience and understanding of the FinTech sector and access to the public markets to help its
acquisitions grow.
Keeping in line with our change of operational focus as set out above, on June 26, 2019 the Company entered into a stock exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Bombshell Technologies, Inc. (“Bombshell”) and
the shareholders of Bombshell (the “Bombshell Holders”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, which closed on July 23, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Bombshell (the “Bombshell Shares”) in exchange for the Bombshell
Holders receiving the right to receive 110,675,328 shares (the “Consideration Shares”) of unregistered shares of the Company’s Common Stock on a pro rata basis (the “Exchange”), 33,000,000 of which were issued to the Bombshell Holders (the “Closing
Shares”) at the Closing on a pro rata basis. The remaining 77,675,328 Consideration Shares (the “Secondary Shares”) were issued on September 3, 2019 upon approval of the increase to the Company’s authorized common stock to 550,000,000 shares,
consisting of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, effective August 29, 2019. The Bombshell Holders are also eligible to receive earn-out consideration of up to an additional 36,769,215 shares of Common Stock
(the “Earn-out Shares”) earnable in tranches of 12,256,405 shares of Common Stock in each of the second, third and fourth years after the Closing, based on whether Bombshell is able to meet certain Earnings Before Interest and Taxes thresholds in
each year. The Bombshell Holders include certain limited liability companies owned by (i) Jonathan Bonnette, the Company’s former CEO and current CTO (ii) Joel Bonnette, the Bombshell CEO and (iii) Terry Kennedy, a majority shareholder of the
Company and current CEO.

Bombshell was formed as Bombshell Technologies, LLC on November 5, 2018 and converted into a corporation on June 24, 2019. Bombshell is a full-service design and software development company focused on developing and
selling software to financial services firms and advisors and is the first acquisition as part of our strategic shift into the FinTech sector and related sectors.
On July 8, 2019, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) to acquire Encompass More Group, Inc. (“Encompass”), a Nevada corporation. In connection with the LOI, Encompass issued a promissory
note
(the “Note”) to the Company pursuant to a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), dated July 22, 2019, by and between Encompass and the Company, in exchange for a loan of $100,000 (the “Loan”). Pursuant to the Loan
Agreement, the proceeds of the Loan will be used by Encompass for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Note has a twelve-month term, an interest rate of 5.0%, and is payable in monthly installments of $2,000, with all remaining
principal and interest due on the maturity date, unless paid earlier by Encompass. The Board of Directors have subsequently determined not to proceed with the acquisition as contemplated under the LOI.
On September 4, 2019 the Company entered into a listing agreement for the sale of the Resort at Lake Selmac site location (formerly Smoke on the Water)for an offering price of $850,000, with expected 6% sales
commission. Such listing agreement was extended in December 2019 under the same terms and conditions, expiring in March 2020. Further, despite originally listing the Resort at Lake Selmac property for sale during September 2019 upon expiry of the
listing agreement March 31, 2020, the Company determined to delay the sale, and to continue to operate the rebranded Resort at Lake Selmac as a family friendly RV resort facility in fiscal 2020. The Resort opened for operations in fiscal 2021 on July
1, 2020 subsequent to a delay resulting from the impact of Covid-19 and certain state mandated facility closures.
In connection with the shift in the Company’s strategy away from rental activities focused in cannabis industry, the Company sold WCS on September 30, 2019 by way of a membership interest purchase agreement (the
“Purchase Agreement”) with the Zallen Trust. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold all of the Company’s membership interests in WCS for an aggregate purchase price of $782,450. The Zallen Trust paid the purchase price by
transferring to the Company 8,693,888 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, valued at $0.09 per share. The Purchase Agreement also provided that Mr. Zallen transfer to the Company an additional 400,000 shares of Common Stock to settle $36,000 in back
rent owed at the time of the sale. The Company retired all of the shares received as a result of the transaction. In connection with the sale of WCS, the Company and Mr. Zallen entered into a separation and release of claims agreement pursuant to
which the Company and Mr. Zallen provided a mutual release of claims against the other party and such party’s affiliates, including all claims related to Mr. Zallen’s service as an officer, employee, and director of the Company. The release of claims
by Mr. Zallen resulted in the forgiveness of salary accruals of approximately $367,000 for services provided up to June 30, 2018. Mr. Zallen was the former CEO, Chairman and President of the Company.
On April 1, 2020, Jonathan Bonnette, who has been the President and Chief Executive Officer of Grow since July 1, 2018, transitioned out of his role as President and Chief Executive Officer and become the Company’s
Chief Technology Officer and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company’s subsidiary, Bombshell Technologies.
Mr. Terry Kennedy was appointed to succeed Mr. Bonnette as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective April 1, 2020.
On May 13, 2020 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 1 for 20 reverse split whereby shareholders would receive one (1) post reverse split share of Common Stock for each twenty (20) pre-split shares of Common
Stock. The Company would pay cash to shareholders who were left with only a fractional share and would round up any other partial shares to the nearest whole share. The corporate action was approved by FINRA and become effective on July 30, 2020
and all share and per share data included in this Annual Report has been retroactively impacted to reflect the share split.
28
Keeping with management’s determination to acquire complementary revenue generating operations, on August 19, 2020, the Company acquired PERA LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“PERA”), pursuant to an exchange
agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), effective as of August 3, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and between PERA, the members of PERA (the “PERA Members”), and the Company. As a result, PERA became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. At the
time of the acquisition of PERA LLC, the Company determined that Appreciation Financial was under common control with PERA LLC, as they are both controlled by our Chief Operating Officer, Terry Kennedy (see Note 4). Additionally, Appreciation was
considered to be a primary beneficiary of PERA LLC. The Company has had discussions with the members of Appreciation Financial about potential combinations, which as of the date of these financial statements are not yet probable. However, because of
the nature of the relationship, the Company determined that while Appreciation Financial is not a variable interest entity to the Company, the nature of the common control relationship coupled with the inter-relationship with PERA LLC meant that in
order for the results of operations and financial position to not be misleading, the Company had to combine its results with those of Appreciation Financial upon the acquisition of PERA, LLC.
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, at the Closing, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interests of PERA (the “PERA Ownership Interests”) in exchange for 9,358,185 unregistered
restricted shares of the Company’s common stock on a pro rata basis (the “Exchange”). At the Closing, the PERA Members conveyed all of the right, title and interest in and to the PERA Ownership Interests in exchange for the right to receive a number
of shares of GC Common Stock equal to an exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”). The Exchange Ratio is calculated by dividing (a) the Exchange Shares (as defined below) by (b) the total number of shares of PERA Ownership Interests outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Date.
“Exchange Shares” means the number of shares of GC Common Stock obtained by dividing (a) $10,000,000 by (b) the 10-day volume weighted average price per share (“VWAP”) calculated immediately before
the date that the previously announced reverse stock split of GC Common Stock became effective on OTCQB, July 30, 2020.
In addition, if PERA meets certain yearly targeted gross revenues for each of year one, two, and three following the Closing, the PERA owners may earn a cumulative total of up to $5,000,000 of
shares of GC Common Stock (the “Earn-out Shares”) to be determined using the applicable 10-day VWAP stock price of the Company’s common stock preceding each earn-out period calculation date as set forth in the Exchange Agreement in connection with
all of the three years, subject to certain catch up provisions if such yearly period targets are not met in the applicable period.
The PERA Members include certain limited liability companies owned by (i) Terry Kennedy, the CEO of the Company, (ii) Jonathan Bonnette, the CTO of the Company and the CEO of Bombshell
Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, (iii) Joel Bonnette, brother of Jonathan Bonnette, and (iv) Carl Sanko, a director and Secretary of the Company, and (v) Jared Bonnette, brother of Jonathan Bonnette.
With the acquisition of PERA LLC, and concurrent combination of the operations of Appreciation Financial, the Company expanded its operations into lead generation services and insurance brokerage.
PERA LLC provides public employee retirement serving as an appointment portal for agents to schedule qualified appointments with public employee seeking financial planning for retirement and other associated insurance coverage. Appreciation
Financial LLC has a network of member agents offering full-service retirement planning servicing public employees and their families providing policies from a series of insurance carriers that meet their retirement planning requirements.
On September 25, 2020 the Company and Encompass More Group Inc. (the “Borrower”) entered into an addendum to the July 22, 2019 Commercial Loan Agreement (the “Addendum”) in order to modify certain
of the terms and conditions. Under the Addendum, the Borrower shall enter into a new promissory note in the principal amount of $72,000, with any unpaid interest due and payable at June 30, 2020 to accrue and become due and payable on October 1,
2021. Further under the terms of the promissory note the Borrower shall make twelve (12) installment payments of $6,000 commencing November 1, 2020, until the principal balance of the loan is repaid in full, at which time all accrued and unpaid
interest shall come due and payable. Interest on the promissory note shall continue to accrue at a rate of Five (5%) per annum. Concurrent with the execution of the Addendum, the Borrower made a lump sum payment of $16,510 to reduce the principal
of the original $100,000 loan to $72,000. As at January 31, 2021 Encompass was current with the required installment payments.
On September 30, 2020 Terry Kennedy, CEO, and Eric Tarno, CEO of acquired subsidiary, PERA LLC, were appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors effective October 1, 2020.

Grow Capital expects to identify additional suitable acquisitions, complete those acquisitions, and grow those companies as part of our transition to a Fintech company. Any potential acquisitions or divestitures remain
subject to final agreements, due diligence, and typical closing conditions.
Current Operations

cryptocurrency.
Operating Subsidiaries
Resort at Lake Selmac
While the Company entered into a listing agreement for the divestiture of this operating location during fiscal 2020, it was subsequently determined by management to continue to operate the property upon the expiration
of the listing agreement on March 31, 2020. As a result of the current decline in real estate transactions in the United States as a result of the pandemic, the Company will review the sale of this property when appropriate at a future date. Due to
the COVID-19 pandemic, the scheduled opening date for the resort of April 1, 2020 was postponed. The resort was able to be reopened in July 2020 once the local State guidelines permitted a return to operations. The Company intends to operate the
resort year round and does not expect the delayed opening to have a subsequent impact on our operations. The resort is currently operated as a family friendly resort destination.
Bombshell Technologies, Inc.
Bombshell was formed as Bombshell Technologies, LLC on November 5, 2018 and converted into a corporation on June 24, 2019. Bombshell is a full-service design and software development company focused on developing and
selling software to financial services firms and advisors and was our first acquisition as part of our strategic shift into the FinTech sector and related sectors.

families providing policies from a series of insurance carriers that meet their retirement planning requirements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
The Company shifted its focus to the FinTech sector during the current fiscal year and acquired operating, revenue generating subsidiaries, Bombshell and PERA. Further, the Company divested WCS effective September 30,
2019 While the Resort at Lake Selmac site location was classified as “held for sale” in the first two quarters of fiscal 2020, management determined to continue to operate the property until further notice, and its operations have been returned to

material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. Financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2019 are “combined” with respect to the operations of Bombshell Technologies, Inc. under the
requirements of ASC 850-50-45, which results impact the statements of profit and loss and statements of cash flows to include operations of Bombshell Technologies Inc. as though it had been acquired on inception.

Three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
Our general and administrative expenses consist of rent, telephone, internet services, banking charges, salaries, consulting fees and miscellaneous office costs.
The Company experienced an increase in operating expenses from $986,276 during the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $1,873,830 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in operating
expenses is predominantly attributable to an increase in general and administrative expenses, including related party general and administrative expenses, and professional fees, as well as the impact of the additional expenses of subsidiary PERA LLC
and the operating results of combined entities Appreciation Financial LLC and Appreciation Rewards. Professional fees increased period over period from $352,492 to $461,584 as the Company undertook various corporate actions and acquired PERA LLC in
the period, as well as operations in the normal course and certain legal fees related to ongoing legal matters. General and administrative fees also increased in the current three-month period ended September 30, 2020 from $579,881 (2019) to
$615,473 in the three months ended September 30, 2020. This was a direct result of increased operations period over period related to Bombshell, newly acquired PERA LLC and the operations of combined entities Appreciation Financial LLC and
Appreciation Rewards, offset by a reduction to stock based compensation to certain board members, employees and consultants for services rendered at rates below market, the total combined value of which was $502,638 for the three months ended
September 30, 2019 compared to stock issuances for total consideration of $173,173 in the current three months ended September 30, 2020. Further, general and administrative fees incurred from related parties also increased period over period from
$47,499 in the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $297,080 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 predominantly from the combination of common control entities Appreciation Financial LLC and Appreciation Rewards. During the current three
months ended September 30, 2020 the Company recorded $494,458 in respect to an accrual for a negotiated legal settlement, with no similar expense in the prior comparative three months ended September 30, 2019. Depreciation, amortization and
impairment decreased slightly from $6,404 to $5,235 in the current three-month period.

30, 2020. The decrease in our working capital was primarily a result of an increase to current accrued liabilities in relation to commissions payable by combined entity Appreciation Financial LLC and the accrual of certain anticipated legal
settlement amounts.
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, cash provided by operating activities totaled $300,908, primarily as a result of a net loss from continuing operations of $1,001,336. The net loss from continuing

Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $95,573, as compared to net cash provided of $900,783 in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Increase to cash due from
related party in the three months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $39,548 with no comparative balance in the current three months ended September 30, 2020. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 the Company loaned a third party $100,000 on

certain loan obligations of combined entity Appreciation Financial LLC with no comparable transaction in the comparative three month period. Further, the Company reduced its loan on the Resort at Lake Selmac property by $2,229 and $2,141
respectively during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Going Concern
During the three month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company reported a net loss of $1,001,336 and $248,893 respectively. The Company had a working capital deficit of $1,612,666 with approximately
$1,495,517 of cash on hand as of September 30, 2020. Cash provided by operations totaled $300,908 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company continues to work actively to increase its customer/client base and increase gross profit
in Bombshell Technologies and PERA LLC, in order to achieve net profitability by the close of fiscal 2021. For any operational shortfalls, the Company intends to rely on sales of our unregistered common stock, loans and advances until such time as
we achieve profitable operations. In addition, the current presentation is based on the fact that the Company is currently in negotiations to acquire Appreciation Financial LLC and its related entities. Should that not occur, its possible that the
Company will no longer combine its results with those of Appreciation Financial LLC and its related entities. If the Company fails to generate positive cash flow or obtain additional financing, when required and on acceptable terms, the Company may
have to modify, delay, or abandon some or all of its business and expansion plans, and potentially cease operations altogether. Consequently, the aforementioned items raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Covid-19 Pandemic
The recent COVID-19 pandemic could have an adverse impact on our ongoing operations. To date the Company’s primary operating segments, Bombshell and Pera LLC have not experienced a decline in sales as a result of the
impact of COVID-19, and in fact, have increased sales due to the increase in demand for virtual appointments which can be serviced by PERA LCC as a part of their core operational mandate. In addition, the Company’s operations in the FinTech sector
are carried out with a limited amount of person to person contact and we do not expect an impact on these operations as a result of COVID 19, however, the full effect of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report, is
highly uncertain and subject to change. Operations of the Company’s Resort at Lake Selmac property were delayed until July 2020 when the government permitted the resort to reopen, however since that time the resort has continued to receive regular
bookings and has returned to normal operating parameters. As a result, Management does not expect the delay in opening the resort for the 2020-2021 season to substantially impact profitable operations for this business in the long term. Management
is actively monitoring the situation but given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its operations or financial condition in the next 12 months. While significant
uncertainty remains, the Company does not believe the COVID-19 outbreak will have a negative impact on its ability to raise additional financing, conclude the acquisition of targeted business operations or reach profitable operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments which are based on historical experience and on various other
factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of their evaluation form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions and circumstances. Our significant accounting policies are more fully discussed in the Notes to our Financial Statements. Refer to Note 2 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included
herein.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operations, financial position or cash flows.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rules 13a- 15(e) and 15d- 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective,
for the reasons discussed below, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules
and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in
a timely manner.
The material weakness related to our company was due to not having the adequate personnel to address the reporting requirements of a public company and to fully analyze and account for our transactions.
Accordingly, while we identified a material weakness in our system of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2020, we believe that we have taken reasonable steps to ascertain that the financial
information contained in this report is in accordance with GAAP. We are committed to remediating the control deficiencies that constitute the material weaknesses by implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting.
Management is responsible for implementing changes and improvements in the internal control over financial reporting and for remediating the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weaknesses.
Going forward, we intend to evaluate our processes and procedures and, where practicable and resources permit, implement changes in order to have more effective controls over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
