EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on form 8-K of SideChannel, Inc. (the “Company”) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 6, 2022 (the “Original Form 8-K”) that reported Cipherloc Corporation’s acquisition of SideChannel, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“SCS”) on July 1, 2022 (the “Acquisition”). Under the authority granted by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K, the Company did not file audited historical financial statements of SCS and unaudited pro forma financial information when the Original Form 8-K was filed.
Since filing the Original Form 8-K, SideChannel, Inc. the Massachusetts corporation and a subsidiary of the registrant, has initiated changing its name to SCS, Inc. and Cipherloc Corporation, the Delaware parent company of the subsidiary has changed its name to SideChannel, Inc. This Amendment will refer to the Combined Company as SideChannel, Inc. (the “Company” or “SideChannel”). SideChannel is the registrant filing this Amendment.
This Amendment will refer to the Massachusetts subsidiary as SCS, Inc. (“SCS”). Historical financial statements for SCS on a standalone basis are provided in Exhibit 99.2
Cipherloc Corporation (“Cipherloc”) will be referenced to identify historical financial information included in the pro forma financial statements provided in Exhibit 99.3 and as needed to describe the Acquisition in financial statement notes.
This Amendment is being filed solely to amend and supplement the Original Form 8-K to include audited historical financial statements of SCS, unaudited interim historical financial statements of SCS, and unaudited pro forma financial information for the combined businesses in accordance with the requirements of Item 9.01 of Form 8-K. This Amendment effects no other changes to the Original Form 8-K. The financial statements and unaudited pro forma financial information filed hereto should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 8-K and with the audited and unaudited financial statements and information included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report filed with the SEC December 21, 2021 and our Form 10-Q quarterly reports respectively filed with the SEC February 14, 2022, May 13, 2022, and August 15, 2022.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financials and Exhibits
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issues authoritative literature in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). ASC 805 Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) provides guidance for accounting for mergers and acquisitions. The standard defines a business combination, including criteria for both the transaction to qualify as a business combination and determining whether an entity is a business, and then provides details how to account for the transaction. Applying ASC 805 to the Acquisition, the Company determined that SCS will be the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes.
