CIPHERLOC CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Cipherloc Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Texas on June 22, 1953 as American Mortgage Company. On March 15, 2015, the Company changed its name to Cipherloc Corporation. The name change became effective by the Amended Certificate as of March 23, 2015.

 

Cipherloc is a data security solutions company. Our highly innovative products, based on our patented polymorphic encryption technology, are designed to enable an iron-clad layer of protection to be added to existing solutions. Cipherloc has developed technology that:

 

Dramatically enhances data security
   
Can be easily added to existing products
   
Is scalable and future-proof

 

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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

 

Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2017. Notes to the unaudited interim financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2016 have been omitted; this report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 included within the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2016 of $48,944,828. The Company intends to continue raising money through a private placement memorandum and through the sale of products during the 2017 calendar year to fund operations.

 

These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and the ability to obtain additional funding sources to explore potential strategic relationships and to provide capital and other resources for the further development and marketing of the Company’s products and business.

NOTE 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Significant accounting policies are as follows:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in the bank. The Company maintains its cash in accounts held by large, globally recognized banks which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The FDIC insures these deposits up to $250,000. At December 31, 2016, none of the Company’s cash balance was uninsured, and at September 30, 2016, $94,138 was uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of shares is calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants, and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest, resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, the Company had 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding, which are convertible into 15,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company issued 123,000 shares of restricted common shares through a Private Placement Memorandum for proceeds totaling $233,120 during the three months ended December 31, 2016. The Company also issued 25,000 shares of restricted stock pursuant to Rule 144 to terminate a perpetual software license.

 

Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share during periods where net losses are incurred since the inclusion of the potential common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive as a result of the net loss.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk and Customer Concentrations

 

All of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained in regional and national financial institutions. The Company has exposure to credit risk to the extent that its cash and cash equivalents exceed amounts covered by the U.S. federal deposit insurance; however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. In management’s opinion, the capitalization and operating history of the financial institutions are such that the likelihood of material loss is remote.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, one customer made up 100% of revenues. Management believes the loss of this customer would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Software license revenue is generally recognized when a signed contract or other persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been electronically delivered, the license fee is fixed or is measured on a paid user basis, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. When contracts contain multiple elements wherein Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the “Residual Method.” VSOE of fair value for maintenance and support is established by a stated renewal rate, if substantive, included in the license arrangement or rates charged in stand-alone sales of maintenance and support. Revenue from subscription license agreements, which include software and rights to unspecified future products and maintenance, is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription period. When VSOE of fair value for post-contract customer support cannot be determined, the revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. In June 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to provide software and support to a third party for which no VSOE for any elements is known. Delivery of the use of the license was not achieved until December 2015. The only remaining undelivered element was post-contract support services, and accordingly, the revenues will be recognized on a pro rata basis prospectively over the remaining 30 months of the related contracts. Deferred revenue results from fees billed to or collected from customers for which revenue has not yet been recognized.

 

The Company has deferred revenue from one customer of $671,022 as of December 31, 2016 and $783,522 as of September 30, 2016.

 

Research and Development and Software Development Costs

 

Capitalization of certain software development costs are recorded after the determination of technological feasibility. Based on our product development process, technological feasibility is determined upon the completion of a working model. To date, costs incurred by us from the completion of the working model to the point at which the product is ready for general release do not have technological feasibility. Accordingly, we have charged all such costs to research and development expense in the period incurred. Our research and development costs for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $599,959 and $154,650, respectively.

Recent Accounting Announcements

 

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

 

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

 

Terminated Employment Agreement with Former Chief Financial Officer

 

The Company previously had an employment agreement with its Chief Financial Officer, which terminated in 2015.

According to the original agreement, the unpaid salaries were to accrue interest at 15%, which has been accrued at each reporting date. Interest expense was $10,939 during the three months ended December 31, 2016. Management believes that such amounts were previously satisfied through the issuance of common stock and does not intend to pay such amounts.

In this Quarterly Report, “Company,” “our company,” “us,” and “our” refer to Cipherloc Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The following information contains certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “predict,” “probable,” “possible,” “should,” “continue,” or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.

 

Our Business

 

Cipherloc Corporation is a technology and services solutions company for the rapidly expanding cloud-based cyber security industry. Cipherloc is based in Buda, Texas.

 

The company has introduced an innovative and revolutionary new type of encryption technology with five international patents and two US patents pending and is the industry’s first “Polymorphic Cipher Engine”, called CipherLoc®. It is the first secure commercially viable advanced “Polymorphic Key Progression Algorithmic Cipher Engine” (PKPA). This morphing cipher can be used in any commercial data security industry and/or in sensitive applications.

 

The Company launched its first wave of products in September 2016. These initial products are focused on protecting “data in motion” and will consist of three different offerings: CipherLoc EDGE (for mobile platforms), CipherLoc ENTERPRISE (for desktops, laptops, and tablets), and CipherLoc GATEWAY (for servers). Summaries for each of these products can be found on the Company’s website. The end goal with the release of these products is to offer end-to-end data security (i.e., data can be securely sent to/from any mobile device, any PC, and any server).

 

With a business-to-business model, the Company will directly pursue businesses that will embed Cipherloc’s technology within their own product offering. We will be offering these potential clients a fairly standard software licensing-maintenance model, under which they will license our software for use within their own products. Any company today that is currently using encryption technology becomes a potential customer for us. By targeting companies who are already building solutions that have encryption built-in to their products, we are planning to achieve scale much faster.

 

We have recently hired very well qualified personnel in marketing and sales, as well as a highly qualified technical staff. We are also working with a third party and plan to engage with many more once our products are out on the market.

Research and development costs increased to $599,959 from $154,650 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Research and development costs increased as a result of stock-based compensation of $476,550 during 2016.

 

Settlement expense increased to $106,250 from $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Settlement expense increased as a result of the issuance of 25,000 shares of common stock for a software termination settlement.

 

Interest expense increased to $10,939 from $106 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Interest expense increased due to interest incurred on unpaid accrued benefits and salaries to the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company in accordance with the employment agreement.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2016 of $48,944,828. We expect to incur substantial expenses and generate continued operating losses until we generate revenues sufficient to meet our obligations. At December 31, 2016, the Company had cash of $86,307. We believe that our existing cash balances are insufficient to fund future operations for the next 12 months. These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We depend upon the continued participation of our active Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) to finance our operations and need to obtain additional funding sources to explore potential strategic relationships and to provide capital and other resources for the further development and marketing of our products and business. The Company has raised money in the form of a private placement memorandum totaling $1,179,440. In addition, subsequent to December 31, 2016, the Company has raised an additional $589,600, net of $12,400 in offering costs.

 

There is no assurance that such funding, if required, will be available to us or, if available, will be available upon terms favorable to us. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Cash Flow

 

The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, selected items in our condensed Statements of Cash Flows:

 

   Three Months Ended 
  December 31, 
   2016   2015 
Net cash (used in) provided by:          
Operating activities  $(487,780)  $(1,117,957)
Investing activities  $(3,171)  $(10,449)
Financing activities  $233,120   $266,206 

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash used in operating activities was $487,780 and $1,117,957 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to lower working capital usage.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities was $3,171 and $10,449 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is related to a decrease in deposits held to secure leases and contracts.

Financing Activities

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $233,120 and $266,206 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to fewer issuances of common stock for cash.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including arrangements that would affect the liquidity, capital resources, market risk support, and credit risk support or other benefits.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We had no material changes in market risk from those described in “Part II, Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

This report includes the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2. This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and control evaluations revered to in those certifications.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives.

 

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer need to carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2016 due to the existence of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below (which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures). Based on the performance of additional procedures designed to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting, we believe that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods, presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d(f) under the Exchange Act) is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets, (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, (c) provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorization of management and the Board of Directors, and (d) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

In connection with the preparation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2016, and concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2016 due to the identification of material weaknesses. These material weaknesses remain as of December 31, 2016.

 

Management identified a number of deficiencies in the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls as of September 30, 2016 that represent material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These deficiencies are the result of management’s failure to design, implement and maintain adequate operational and internal controls and processes, including a lack of sufficient accounting staff which resulted in inadequate segregation of duties, the inability to prove delivery of software, an insufficient number of personnel familiar with financial and SEC reporting requirements, inadequate monitoring and review controls over financial reporting and disclosures as well as transaction processing, and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting.

Remediation Plan

 

Management is in the process of executing a remediation plan intended to address the material weaknesses discussed above. These remediation efforts are focused on:

 

  Hiring additional accounting staff to provide adequate segregation of duties;
     
  Enhancing controls around proving the delivery of software;
     
  Retaining appropriate resources familiar with financial and SEC reporting requirements;
     
  Monitoring and reviewing controls over financial reporting and disclosures as well as transaction processing; and
     
  Enhancing and maintaining written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, management engaged additional resources to support the remediation efforts outlined above. In addition, management has continued to train key accounting staff to improve controls that will ultimately eliminate the material weaknesses discussed above, as well as improve the accounting and financial reporting process.

 

We expect that remediation, including testing of related controls, will be completed by the end of fiscal 2017.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2016 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting, other than the remediation actions discussed above.

 

Inherent Limitations on Internal Controls

 

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Limitations inherent in any control system include the following:

 

  Judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and control and process breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes;
     
  Controls can be circumvented by individuals, acting alone or in collusion with others, or by management override;
     
  The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions;
     
  Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures; and
     
  The design of a control system must reflect the fact that resources are constrained, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

 

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
