CIPHERLOC CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2018 AND 2017

(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, polymorphic encryption technology is designed to enable an iron-clad layer of protection to be added to existing solutions.

 

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 and six months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2018. 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, 2017 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, 2017 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 March 31, 2018 of $52,120,653. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional funding to explore potential strategic relationships, complete development and marketing of the Company’s technologies, and operate the business. These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management is currently in the process of raising capital through sales of common stock. Management has used the proceeds from this financing to repay the two convertible notes, one of which was repaid during the quarter, and the other repaid subsequent to March 31, 2018. There are no assurances that management will be successful in raising capital to be able to achieve the needs of the business. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

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 March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, 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 March 31, 2018, $183,909 of the Company’s cash balance was uninsured, and at September 30, 2017, none of its cash balance was uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Convertible Debt and Embedded Derivatives

 

Convertible debt is accounted for under the guidelines established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. ASC 470-20 governs the calculation of an embedded beneficial conversion, a derivative instrument, which is treated as an additional discount to the instruments where derivative accounting does not apply. This applies during the period for which embedded conversion features are either fixed, contingently convertible, or cash or net settlement is in control of the Company. When equity instruments, such as warrants, are issued with convertible debt, the net proceeds from the transaction are allocated to the convertible debt and equity instruments based on their relative fair values. The proceeds allocated to the equity instruments may reduce the carrying value of the convertible debt, and such discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt. The amount of the warrants and beneficial conversion feature will reduce the carrying value of the debt instrument to zero, but no further. The discount relating to the initial recording of the original issue discounts, issue costs, warrants and beneficial conversion feature are accreted, together with the premium, over the estimated term of the debt.

 

The excess of fair value of the embedded conversion feature, together with the original issue discounts, warrants, and issue costs over the face value of the debt, is recorded as an immediate charge in the accompanying statements of operations and cash flows. Each reporting period, the Company will compute the estimated fair value of derivatives and record changes to operations.

 

ASC 470-50, Extinguishments, require entities to record an extinguishment when the terms of the original note are significantly modified, defined as a greater than 10% change in expected cash flows. As a result of modifications made to one of the Company’s convertible notes during the reporting period, we recorded a loss as reported in the accompanying statements of operations and cash flows.

 

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 March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company had 1,000,000 and 10,000,000 shares, respectively, of preferred stock outstanding, which are convertible into common stock at a rate of 1 preferred share to 1.5 common shares. The Company issued 1,276,000 shares and 1,313,000 shares of restricted common shares through Private Placement Memorandums for net proceeds totaling $1,120,125 and $1,177,325 during the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.

 

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.

 

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. Research and development costs were $251,136 and $365,988 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, and $156,536 and $756,495 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Announcements

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issues Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to amend the authoritative literature in the 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 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE

 

FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC

 

On September 26, 2017, the Company issued a convertible note to FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC (“FirstFire”) with a principal amount of $330,000, which includes an original issue discount of $30,000. The Company incurred $8,500 in direct costs. The note accrued interest at 5% per annum and was to mature on March 26, 2018, six months following the issuance date. The note was convertible at $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The Company issued 50,000 shares of its common stock, as well as warrants to purchase an additional 165,000 shares of common stock at $4.50 per share with a term of two years. The note was amended on December 20, 2017, which reduced the conversion price of the note to $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment, reduced the exercise price of the warrants from $4.50 to $2.00, and required the Company to issue an additional 87,500 shares of common stock to FirstFire, which resulted in an extinguishment loss.

 

The Company accounted for the amendment of the FirstFire note using derivative accounting and recognized a loss on extinguishment of $358,038 during the three months ended December 31, 2017. The Company also recognized a derivative liability of $320,312 as of the note’s amendment date. The Company valued the derivative liability with the Black-Scholes valuation model on the date of the amendment using an expected life of one (1) year, volatility of 150%, and risk-free rate of 1.87%.

 

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized a gain of $187,624 and $138,713, respectively, related to the change in fair value of the FirstFire derivative liability. The Company valued the derivative liability with the Black-Scholes valuation model as of March 21, 2018, immediately prior to the settlement of the note as described below, using an expected life of 0.01 years, volatility of 150%, and risk-free rate of 1.71%.

 

Upon amendment of the FirstFire note, the Company recorded a debt discount of $330,000. The Company amortized $275,000 and $312,813 of the debt discount to interest expense during the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. Total interest expense related to the FirstFire note, including the debt discount amortization prior to the amendment, was $275,000 and $453,700 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.

 

On March 21, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with FirstFire under which FirstFire converted $77,500 of the note payable into 50,000 shares of common stock, and the Company paid $350,000 to satisfy the derivative liability of $181,599 and the note payable in full. In connection with the settlement of the First Fire note, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of $66,912.

 

Peak One Opportunity Fund LP

 

On December 14, 2017, the Company issued a convertible note to Peak One Opportunity Fund LP (“Peak One”) with a principal amount of $300,000, which includes an original issue discount of $30,000. The Company incurred $27,400 in direct costs. The note was to mature three years from the issuance date and provides the holder with the right to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance to shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments to the conversion price under certain circumstances.

 

Together with the convertible note, the Company also issued 275,000 shares of its common stock, as well as warrants to purchase an additional 75,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share with a term of five years. The Company accounted for the convertible note to Peak One using derivative accounting and recognized a derivative liability of $267,750 as of the note’s issuance date. The Company valued the derivative liability with the Black-Scholes valuation model on the date of issuance using an expected life of 1.25 years, volatility of 150%, and risk-free rate of 1.82%. The Company also recognized a loss of $486,745 resulting from the excess fair value of the derivative in the convertible note and of the equity instruments issued with the convertible note.

 

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized a gain of $69,045 and loss of $17,976, respectively, related to the change in fair value of the Peak One derivative liability. The Company valued the derivative liability with the Black-Scholes valuation model as of March 31, 2018 using an expected life of 1.25 years, volatility of 150%, and risk-free rate of 1.63%.

 

The Company recorded a debt discount of $300,000 upon issuance of the Peak One note. The Company amortized $24,590 and $29,235 of the debt discount to interest expense during the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. The remaining debt discount of $270,765 as of March 31, 2018 will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the note. The Peak One note was included in current liabilities as management subsequently repaid the note in April 2018.

 

Additionally, the transaction with Peak One included a stock purchase agreement setting forth the details above, including the option for an additional convertible note in the amount of $300,000 and an equity purchase agreement for up to $7,000,000 of the Company’s common stock and related registration rights agreement, which will require a registration statement to be filed.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

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’s 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.

 

Financial Results and Trends

 

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

 

Revenue remained relatively consistent at $228,771 for the six months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to $237,247 for the six months ended March 31, 2017. Revenue is comprised of the ratable recognition of a software license sale during the six months ended March 31, 2018. The software license sale is being recognized ratably through June 2018.

 

Cost of revenue increased to $75,806 from $60,600 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Cost of revenue is comprised of salaries and maintenance costs related to the Company’s core Cipherloc products.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased to $414,286 from $2,708,908 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. General and administrative expenses decreased as a result of lower stock-based compensation.

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $45,162 from $153,484 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses decreased as a result of lower salaries and stock-based compensation.

 

Research and development costs decreased to $365,988 from $756,495 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Research and development costs decreased as a result of lower stock-based compensation.

 

Settlement expense decreased to $81,000 from $106,250 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Settlement expense for the six months ended March 31, 2018 resulted from the issuance of 50,000 shares of common stock to settle a legal claim. Settlement expense for the six months ended March 31, 2017 resulted from the issuance of 25,000 shares of common stock for a software termination settlement.

 

12

 

 

Interest expense increased to $508,318 from $22,698 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Interest expense increased due to interest incurred on the Company’s convertible notes payable.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have an accumulated deficit at March 31, 2018 of $52,120,653. We expect to incur substantial expenses and generate continued operating losses until we generate revenues sufficient to meet our obligations. At March 31, 2018, the Company had cash of $433,909. 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) and the issuance of debt 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. During the six months ended March 31, 2018, the Company has raised money in the form of a private placement memorandum totaling $1,177,325.

 

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:

 

    Six Months Ended  
    March 31,  
    2018     2017  
Net cash (used in) provided by:                
Operating activities   $ (863,412 )   $ (1,103,066 )
Investing activities   $     $ (2,798 )
Financing activities   $ 1,069,925     $ 881,720  

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash used in operating activities was $863,412 and $1,103,066 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a lower net loss and lower working capital usage.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities was $0 and $2,798 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 $1,069,925 and $881,720 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to more 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, 2017.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

This report includes the certification of our Chief Executive 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 March 31, 2018 due to 1) no formal evaluation has been performed by us and 2) 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, 2017, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2017 and concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2017 due to the identification of material weaknesses. These material weaknesses remain as of March 31, 2018.

 

Management identified a number of deficiencies in the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls as of September 30, 2017 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.

 

14

 

 

Remediation Plan

 

Management has executed a remediation plan intended to address the material weaknesses discussed above. These remediation efforts are focused on:

 

  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 March 31, 2018, 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 2018.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 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.
