The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable for a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2021 of $1,944,839, and had a working capital deficit of $2,251,170 at December 31, 2021. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the management of expenses and ability to obtain necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and upon profitable operations.

We cannot be certain that such necessary capital through equity or debt financings will be available to us or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. Any such financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders and could result in significant financial operating covenants that would negatively impact our business. In the event that there are any unforeseen delays or obstacles in obtaining funds through the aforementioned sources, Currency Mountain Holdings Bermuda, Limited (“CMH”), which is wholly-owned by an entity that is majority-owned by Mr. Assentato, has committed to inject capital into the Company in order to maintain the ongoing operations of the business.

The ramifications of the outbreak of the novel strain of COVID-19, reported to have started in December 2019 and spread globally, are filled with uncertainty and changing quickly. Our operations have continued during the COVID-19 pandemic and we have not had significant disruption.

The Company is operating in a rapidly changing environment so the extent to which COVID-19 impacts its business, operations and financial results from this point forward will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Company cannot accurately predict. Those factors include the following: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the Company for cancellation and to pay the Company $1,000,000. Further, Markos Kashiouris, Petros Economides and Efstathios Christophi resigned as directors of the Company and waived any directorship fees payable to them under their letter of appointment dated August 1, 2016. The $1,000,000 has been paid to the Company, net of approximately $70,000 of legal expenses, in the first fiscal quarter of 2018 and IBIH has returned the certificate representing the 24,156,000 shares of common stock of the Company and the shares have been cancelled by the Company.pandemic.

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of AmericaU.S. GAAP 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates during the three months ended December 31, 20172021 and 20162020 include the useful life of intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, valuation of deferred tax assets and the associated valuation allowances.allowances, and valuation of stock-based compensation.

As a result, the Company adjusted the previous estimated allocation to reflect the results of the third party valuation. The Company decreased its cost of intangible assets by $2,861,631 and adjusted the estimated useful life of trade names and regulatory licenses from 10 years to 3 years and the estimated useful life of technology from 10 years to 5 years. This change in accounting estimate was effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. Based on the carrying value of intangible assets as of September 30, 2021 and those adjustments during the three months ended December 31, 2021, the effect of this change in estimate was an increase in amortization expense of $559,802 and an increase in net loss of $559,802.

ASC Topic 260, “EarningsEarnings per Share, requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

 

Basic net earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates during each reporting period, and shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods, therefore, amounts reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income/loss.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 12 – CONTINGENCY

In April 16, 2020, the Company was named as a defendant in the Adversary Proceeding filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts (Case No. 15-10745-FJB; Adversary Proceeding No. 16-01178) titled In re: BT Prime Ltd (“BT Prime”). The Adversary Proceeding is brought by BT Prime against Boston Technologies Powered by Forexware LLC f/k/a Forexware LLC (“Forexware”), Currency Mountain Holdings LLC, Currency Mountain Holdings Limited f/k/a Forexware Malta Holdings Ltd., FXDirectDealer, LLC, FXDD Malta Ltd., Nukkleus Inc., Nukkleus Bermuda Limited and Currency Mountain Holdings Bermuda, Ltd. In the Amended Complaint, BT Prime is seeking, amongst other relief, a determination that the Company and the other defendants are liable for all of the debts of BT Prime stemming from its bankruptcy proceedings, and is seeking to recover certain amounts transferred to Forexware and FXDD Malta prior to the initiation of the bankruptcy case. In the sole claim asserted against the Company, BT Prime alleges that the Company operated as a single business enterprise with no separate existence outside of its collective business relationship with certain of the other Defendants, is a continuation of the business of Forexware and is a successor-in-interest to Forexware. Based on this theory, BT Prime alleges that the Company should be jointly and severally liable for any liability attributable to Forexware or the other Defendants, should the Court eventually find any such liability. It is the Company’s position that there is no basis for BT Prime’s claim against it and intends to vigorously defend against the claim at trial, the date for which has not yet been set.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At December 31, 20172021 and September 30, 2017,2021, we had cash balances of $969,111$50,623 and $48,642,$355,673, respectively.

We had an accumulated deficit and a total stockholders’working capital deficit of $685,439 and $521,333, respectively,$2,251,170 as of December 31, 2017. For2021.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the three months ended December 31, 2017, we recorded a net lossmanagement of $169,988expenses and had a net cash flow used in operating activities of $29,531. We may incur losses for an indeterminate period and may never sustain profitability. We may be unableour ability to achieve and maintain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. An extended period of losses may prevent us from successfully operating and expanding our business.

We are processing to pay forobtain the $750,000 for the preferred stock redemption as described elsewhere in this report. We estimate that our working capital is sufficient to fund our current operations for the next 12 months.

Management is currently seeking additional capital through private placements or public offerings of our securities. In addition, we may seek to raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financings in order to fund our operations, potential mergers or acquisitions, and the development of our business plan.

Cash Flow for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2016

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $29,531 for the three months ended December 31, 2017. These include $169,988 in net loss. Cash flows used in operating activities included changes in operating assets and liabilities totaling $138,167 for the three months ended December 31, 2017.

We had $0 in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2016. These include $52,544 in net loss. Cash flows used in operating activities included changes in operating assets and liabilities totaling $50,255 for the three months ended December 31, 2016.

Net cash flow provided by investing activities was $950,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2017. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we received proceeds of $1,000,000 from termination of potential acquisition in accordance with a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release signed on November 17, 2017 as described elsewhere in this report, and we made a payment for software development costs of $50,000.

We did not incur any investing activity during the three months ended December 31, 2016.

We did not incur anynecessary financing activity during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Our capital requirements for the next twelve months primarily relate to mergers, acquisitions and the development of business opportunities. In addition, we expect to use cash to pay fees related to professional services. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:

The working capital requirements to finance our current business;

The use of capital for mergers, acquisitions and the development of business opportunities;

Addition of personnel as the business grows; and

The cost of being a public company.

Currently, we use our cash to support our operations and to provide working capital for our ongoing operations and obligations. We believe that our current cash will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months. obligations and pay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and upon profitable operations.

 

Although we estimate that our current cash will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months, weWe need to either borrow funds or raise additional capital through equity or debt financings in order to support our future mergers or acquisitions and the development of our business opportunities.financings. However, we cannot be certain that such capital (from our stockholders or third parties) will be available to us or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. Any such financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders and could result in significant financial operating covenants that would negatively impact our business. In the event that there are any unforeseen delays or obstacles in obtaining funds through the aforementioned sources, CMH has committed to inject capital into the Company in order to maintain the ongoing operations of the business.

 


Cash Flow for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2020

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $305,264, which primarily reflected our consolidated net loss of approximately $1,945,000, offset by the changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily consisting of an increase in due to affiliates of approximately $146,000, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $197,000, and the non-cash items adjustment consisting of amortization of intangible assets of approximately $912,000, and stock-based compensation and service expense of approximately $379,000.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $7,493 for the three months ended December 31, 2020. These included changes in operating assets and liabilities totaling approximately $61,000, offset by consolidated net loss of approximately $54,000.

Our operations will require additional funding for the foreseeable future. Unless and until we are able to generate a sufficient amount of revenue and reduce our costs, we expect to finance future cash needs through public and/or private offerings of equity securities and/or debt financings. We do not currently have any committed future funding. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders could at that time experience substantial dilution. Any debt financing we are able to obtain may involve operating covenants that restrict our business. Our capital requirements for the next twelve months primarily relate to mergers, acquisitions and the development of business opportunities. In addition, we expect to use cash to pay fees related to professional services. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:

The working capital requirements to finance our current business;

The use of capital for mergers, acquisitions and the development of business opportunities;

Addition of personnel as the business grows; and

The cost of being a public company.

We need to either borrow funds or raise additional capital through equity or debt financings. However, we cannot be certain that such capital (from our stockholders or third parties) will be available to us or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. Any such financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders and could result in significant financial operating covenants that would negatively impact our business. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, we will have insufficient funds to operate our business or pursue our planned growth. However, CMH has committed to inject capital into the Company in order to maintain the ongoing operations of the business.

Consistent with Section 144 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, it is our current policy that all transactions between us and our officers, directors and their affiliates will be entered into only if such transactions are approved by a majority of the disinterested directors, are approved by vote of the stockholders, or are fair to us as a corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board. We will conduct an appropriate review of all related party transactions on an ongoing basis.
