Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1.	Business

Mastermind, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or the “organization”) is an involvement marketing service agency that designs, creates and develops branding and marketing campaigns, primarily for large corporate clients with well-known brands. We specialize in customer conversion initiatives that we believe facilitate the involvement of more of the “right customers” with the brands of our clients. We focus on converting prospects to customers. Our programs can take on various forms, including creating and managing content marketing, influencer marketing, social marketing/community management, digital issues management promotions, Augmented Reality Marketing, and UX Analytics & Digital Intelligence.

2.	Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which we consider necessary, for a fair presentation of those financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 may not necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for any succeeding period or for the entire fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments, which are evaluated on an ongoing basis, and that affect the amounts reported in our unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments. In particular, significant estimates and judgments include those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives and valuation of property and equipment.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, other than as described below, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under prior accounting guidance. ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. We adopted ASU 2016-02 in the quarter ending December 31, 2019, utilizing the modified retrospective transition method on October 1, 2019. We have elected the package of practical expedients, which allows the Company not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date are or contain a lease, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date, (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the adoption date and (4) the application of hindsight when determining lease term and assessing impairment of right-of-use assets. The adoption of the new standard on October 1, 2019, resulted in a lease obligation and related right-of-use asset of approximately $461,740. The impact on the statement of operations was not material.

The recently declared pandemic related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) could adversely impact our future results, especially if our customers are negatively impacted by the decrease in economic activity caused by the virus. If our customers fail to reach budgeted revenue projections and reduce their expenditures proportionally, we could experience lower than expected growth in revenue or lower overall revenue. We could also experience delays or declines in revenue and new business and or implementations of marketing campaigns if customers or potential customers delay or cancel their plans due to the economic slowdown caused by the virus. Additionally, our operations could be impacted, and we could experience higher costs if, despite our mitigation and prevention efforts, the virus spread prevents affected employees from performing key duties.

3.	Related Party Transactions

On January 3, 2012, we entered into a perpetual license agreement (the “Perpetual License”) with Mastermind Marketing, Inc. (the “Licensor”), which provides for licenses of trademarks, internet domains, and certain intellectual property as defined in the Perpetual License. The Licensor is one of our stockholders and its chief executive officer. The Perpetual License, which may be terminated at any time by either party, is effective January 3, 2012 and provides for aggregate payments of $2,170,000 over the calendar years from 2019 through 2039 with no further payments required after December 31, 2039. The Company recorded expenses related to the license of $15,000 and $30,000, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, and $15,000 and $30,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, and September 30, 2020, there were no license fee payments required or payable.

On January 3, 2014, we entered into a commercial lease agreement (the “Lease”) with 1450 West Peachtree, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Landlord”), for the lease of our corporate facility in Atlanta, Georgia. In connection with the Lease, we have entered into a sublease agreement which provides for the sublease of 9,000 square feet of the total 15,000 of the demised property. The sublessor is not a related party. The manager of the Landlord is also our chief executive officer. The term of the lease is 10 years from the date of the agreement and provides for monthly rent and payment of operating expenses on a triple-net basis. In satisfaction of our obligation to the Landlord pursuant to the Lease, we made lease payments, net of payments made by the sublessee, of $30,000 and $60,000 during the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, we made payments to our Majority Stockholders pursuant to the terms of an operating agreement, as amended, for services rendered to us in the aggregate amount of $150,225 and $300,450, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, the payments were $160,225 and $410,450, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, and September 30, 2020, we owed $100,000 to our three majority stockholders for consulting services. The amounts are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, related parties on the condensed consolidated balance sheets herein.

4.	Property and Equipment

Depreciation expense for the six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $11,057 and $13,865, respectively.

5.	Licensing Agreements

On January 3, 2012, we entered into a perpetual license agreement (the “Perpetual License”) with Mastermind Marketing, Inc. (the “Licensor”), which provides for licenses of trademarks, internet domains, and certain intellectual property as defined in the Perpetual License. The Licensor is one of our members and its chief executive officer is also our chief executive officer. The Perpetual License, which may be terminated at any time by either party, is effective January 3, 2012 and provides for aggregate payments of $2,100,000 over the calendar years from 2019 through 2039 with no further payments required after December 31, 2039. The Company has recorded expenses of $15,000 and $30,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, and $15,000 and $30,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, respectively. Included in prepaid expenses as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, is $45,000 and $15,000, respectively, of which $15,000 will be expensed per quarter from the dates thereof.

In consideration for the Perpetual License, we agreed to pay the following fees through fiscal year 2040 (calendar year 2039):

Period ending	Amount
Fiscal year ending September 30, 2022	$	60,000
Fiscal year ending September 30, 2022		60,000

Fiscal year ending September 30, 2025		60,000
Thereafter		1,620,000
	$	1,920,000

6.	Notes Payable- PPP loan

In April 2020, the Company received a loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The loan is in the principal amount of $301,750 (the “PPP Loan”).

The PPP Loan matures on the two-year anniversary of the funding date and bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.00% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments, less the amount of any potential forgiveness (discussed below), will commence after the six-month anniversary of the funding date. The Company did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the PPP Loan, nor did the Company pay any facility charge to obtain the PPP Loan. The Promissory Note provides for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to failure to make payment, bankruptcy, breaches of representations and material adverse effects. The Company may prepay the principal of the PPP Loan at any time without incurring any prepayment charges.

All or a portion of the PPP Loan may be forgiven by the SBA and the Lender upon application by the Company. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, and covered utilities during the eight-week period or twenty-four week period beginning on the funding date of the PPP Loan. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee in excess of $100,000, prorated annually. Not more than 40% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs. Forgiveness is reduced in certain cases if full-time equivalent headcount declines, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000 or less annually are reduced by more than 25%. Although the Company currently believes that its use of the PPP Loan will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan, the Company cannot assure that the PPP Loan will be forgiven, in whole or in part.

7.	Commitments and Contingencies

On January 3, 2014, we entered into a commercial lease agreement (the “Lease”) with 1450 West Peachtree, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Landlord”), for the lease of our corporate facility in Atlanta, Georgia. The manager of the Landlord is also our chief executive officer. The term of the lease is 10 years from the date of the agreement and provides for monthly rent and payment of operating expenses on a triple-net basis. The monthly rent terms of the lease have been altered by the landlord due to another tenant occupying space the Company verbally agreed to allow the landlord to remove from the space available to the company. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, we made lease payments of $30,000 and $60,000, respectively, and for three and six months ended March 31, 2020, we made lease payments of $30,000 and $60,000, respectively, in satisfaction of our obligation pursuant to the Lease.

The Lease provides for the following total lease commitments pursuant to the Lease and we have also provided our expected portion of the lease commitments based on the updated verbal agreement with the landlord:

Period	Total Lease Commitment		Expected Lease Commitment
Six months ending fiscal year September 30, 2021	$	177,000	$	60,000
Fiscal year ending September 30, 2022		363,000		120,000
Fiscal year ending September 30, 2023		384,000		120,000
Fiscal year ending September 30, 2024		97,500		30,000
	$	1,021,500	$	330,000

We are not a party to any legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, which we believe will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

8.	Income Taxes

We are required to file federal and state income tax returns in the United States. The preparation of these tax returns requires us to interpret the applicable tax laws and regulations in effect in such jurisdictions, which could affect the amount of tax paid by us. In consultation with our tax advisors, we base our tax returns on interpretations that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The tax returns, however, are subject to routine reviews by the various federal and state taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which we file tax returns. As part of these reviews, a taxing authority may disagree with respect to the income tax positions taken by us (“uncertain tax positions”) and, therefore, may require us to pay additional taxes. As required under applicable accounting rules, we accrue an amount for our estimate of additional income tax liability, including interest and penalties, which we could incur as a result of the ultimate or effective resolution of the uncertain tax positions. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. There were no accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the periods presented. We have determined we have no uncertain tax positions.

9.	Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

As of March 31, 2021, and September 30, 2020, we were authorized to issue a total 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. There were no shares of Preferred Stock issued or outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are “forward-looking” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Litigation Reform Act”). These forward-looking statements and other information are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by us using information currently available.

The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or using other similar expressions.

In accordance with the provisions of the Litigation Reform Act, we are making investors aware that such forward-looking statements, because they relate to future events, are by their very nature subject to many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. For example, we may encounter competitive, technological, financial and business challenges making it more difficult than expected to continue to develop and market our products; the market may not accept our existing and future products; we may not be able to retain our customers; we may be unable to retain existing key management personnel; and there may be other material adverse changes in our operations or business. Certain important factors affecting the forward-looking statements made herein also include, but are not limited to (i) continued downward pricing pressures in our targeted markets, (ii) the continued acquisition of our customers by certain of our competitors, and (iii) continued periods of net losses, which could require us to find additional sources of financing to fund operations, implement our financial and business strategies, meet anticipated capital expenditures and fund research and development costs. In addition, assumptions relating to budgeting, marketing, product development and other management decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our marketing, capital expenditure or other budgets, which may in turn affect our financial position and results of operations. For all of these reasons, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no responsibility to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise except as required by law. For further information, you are encouraged to review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2018, as amended on April 20, 2018, and risk factors as discussed therein under Item 2.01.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the financial statements which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon these financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. In the past, actual results have not been materially different from our estimates. However, results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 vs. March 31, 2020

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $932,753 as compared with $947,846 for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $15,093 or 1.6%. The decrease is attributable to the timing of project work being completed. These fluctuations in work accomplished for revenue recognition are normal occurrences in our business.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $628,853 or 67.4% of revenues, compared with $578,480 or 61% of revenues, for the comparable prior year period. The increase in gross profit dollars and gross margin percentage is primarily due to the timing of outside direct costs associated with revenue being realized projects. Direct cost includes expenses for media, sponsorship fees, etc.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $579,937 as compared with $462,492 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $117,445 or 25.4%. Over half of this increase ($65,500) is due to stock- based compensation for shares issued to outside consultants for investor relations services and mergers and acquisitions consulting. Taxes and Licenses also increased $32,277.

Other Income and Expense

Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $195 as compared to $199 for the comparable prior year period.

Six Months Ended March 31, 2021 vs. March 31, 2020

Revenues

Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2021 were $2,009,912 as compared with $2,014,133 for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $4,221 or 0.2%. The decrease is attributable to the timing of project work being completed. These fluctuations in work accomplished for revenue recognition are normal occurrences in our business.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2021 was $1,140,710 or 56.8% of revenues, compared with $1,240,135 or 61.6% of revenues, for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in gross profit dollars and the gross margin percentage is primarily due to the timing of outside direct costs associated with revenue being realized projects. Direct cost includes expenses for media, sponsorship fees, etc.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2021 were $1,085,295 as compared with $1,041,552 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $43,743 or 4.2%. Our general and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of $65,500 for stock-based compensation expenses related to shares issued to consultants. This increase was partially offset by reduced general and administrative costs.

Other Income and Expense

Other income, net, for the six months ended March 31, 2021 was $588, compared to other expenses, net of $9,508 for the comparable prior year period. The prior year expenses were primarily related to merger and acquisitions or related activities, and minimal losses on disposal of equipment as well as minimal interest income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2021, we had cash of $470,884, a decrease of $336,378 when compared with a balance of $807,262 as of September 30, 2020.

During the six months ended March 31, 2021, we used $329,212 in operating activities as compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $45,344 for the comparable prior year period. Our uses of cash for operating activities have primarily consisted of salaries and wages for our employees; costs incurred in connection with performance on client projects; facility and facility-related costs, material and professional fees. The sources of our cash flows from operating activities have consisted primarily of payments received from clients in connection with the performance on contractually agreed-upon projects. Net cash flows from operating activities for the current year were a result of the net income, stock compensation expense and depreciation expense offset by changes in current assets and liabilities of $446,630.

During the six months ended March 31, 2020, net cash provided by operations of $45,344 was a result of our net income and depreciation expenses, partially offset by the changes in current assets and liabilities of $112,803.

During the six months ended March 31, 2021, we had net cash of $7,166 used in investing activities as compared to $5,241 for the comparable prior year period. The net cash outflows during the six months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020 are a result of the purchase of computers and office equipment.

During the six months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company did not have any cash flow activity from financing activities.

The ability to attract additional capital investments for more rapid expansion in the future will depend on many factors, including the availability of credit, rate of revenue growth, ability to acquire new client opportunities, the timing of new service product introductions and enhancements to existing services/products, and the opportunities to acquire complimentary businesses that may be made available to us from time-to-time. We believe that as of March 31, 2021, our cash position and cash flows from our operations will be sufficient to fund our working capital and planned strategic activities, excluding acquisitions, if any, for at least the next twelve months.

Any potential future sale of equity or debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders, and we cannot be certain that additional public or private financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are required to raise additional financing, but are unable to obtain such financing, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more aspects of our operations or business development activities.

The recently declared pandemic related to the coronavirus could adversely impact our liquidity and capital resources, especially if our customers are negatively impacted by the decrease in economic activity caused by the virus. If our customers fail to reach budgeted revenue projections and reduce their expenditures proportionally, we could experience lower than expected growth in revenue or lower overall revenue. We could also experience delays or declines in revenue and new business and or implementations of marketing campaigns if customers or potential customers delay or cancel their plans due to the economic slowdown caused by the virus. Additionally, our operations could be impacted, and we could experience higher costs if, despite our mitigation and prevention efforts, the virus spread prevents affected employees from performing key duties.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of March 31, 2021, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that 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) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of March 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to (i) insufficient segregation of duties in the finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel; and (ii) inadequate corporate governance policies. In the future, subject to working capital limitations, we intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make improvements to remediate these deficiencies.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
