ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Item 1. Business.
In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we use the terms “Company,” “NovAccess,” “we,” “us,” and “our” to refer to NovAccess Global Inc.
Overview
NovAccess Global Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company that is developing novel immunotherapies to treat brain tumor patients in the United States with plans to expand globally. We specialize in cutting-edge research related to utilizing a patient’s own immune system to attack the cancer. We are filing an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) and working closely with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to obtain approval for human clinical trials to determine safety and efficacy of our drug product for brain cancer patients. Once we have successfully completed the clinical trials and proven that the new therapy is safe and efficacious, we plan to commercialize the product. We also have expertise in successfully executing clinical trials, bringing products to market and increasing the market size of products through our advisory board. Our scientists are well versed in immunology, stem cell biology, neuroscience, molecular biology, imaging, small molecules development, gene therapy and other technical assays needed for protein and genetic analysis of cancer cells.
NovAccess operates as a research and development (R&D) company out of Ohio and California, and our executive management and scientific advisory board provide over 15 years of extensive experience in all aspects of biopharmaceutical R&D and commercialization of drug candidates. We guide our performance by striving to deliver consistently on the following core objectives: (1) Accountability - taking responsibility for providing safe and effective options for patients; (2) Integrity - doing what is ethically right for the patient; (3) Excellence - doing your best and working hard; and (4) Teamwork - bringing together a strong working team to deliver the best products for brain tumor patients.
In 2018, Innovest Global, Inc. acquired 20% of StemVax, LLC, a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies for brain tumor patients that holds an exclusive patent license from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California (Cedars-Sinai) known as StemVax Glioblast (SVX-GB). The Innovest investment provided StemVax with the resources to extend the license for SVX-GB. Dr. Christopher Wheeler, president of StemVax, has been involved in the pre-clinical research and development of the drug candidate at Cedars-Sinai Department of Neurosurgery since 2005. As president, Dr. Wheeler began preparing the pre-IND application to obtain FDA approval to start human clinical trials. In February 2020, Innovest acquired 100% of StemVax and on September 8, 2020, NovAccess acquired StemVax from Innovest for 7.5 million shares of NovAccess. In October 2020, Dr. Dwain Morris-Irvin joined NovAccess as our chief executive officer. In February 2021, we contracted with Dr. Wheeler to continue serving as president of StemVax.

Recent Events
As previously disclosed, on October 26, 2021, TN3, LLC (“TN3”), a company owned by Daniel G. Martin, our sole board member and chairman, entered into a preferred stock purchase agreement (the “purchase agreement”) with GPC Holdings, Inc. (“GPC”), a company owed indirectly by Shaheed Bailey. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, TN3 agreed to sell TN3’s shares of NovAccess Global Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to GPC. Upon completion of TN3’s sale of the preferred stock to GPC, Mr. Martin would resign from the NovAccess board and be replaced by Mr. Bailey. The parties expected that the transaction would close during the week of December 13, 2021. However, the conditions to closing were not satisfied and on December 30, 2021, TN3 terminated the purchase agreement pursuant to its terms.
Organization and History
NovAccess Global Inc. is a Colorado corporation incorporated on February 25, 1997 as “Sun River Mining, Inc.” In 2003, the Company was renamed “XsunX, Inc.” and entered the solar business, specializing in the sale, design, and installation of solar photovoltaic power generation and energy storage systems. Effective August 25, 2020, we filed articles of amendment to our articles of incorporation with the Colorado Secretary of State to: effectuate a 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock; and change the name of the Company to “NovAccess Global Inc.” After completing the acquisition of StemVax, we exited the solar business and focused all our efforts on our biopharmaceutical business.
Business and Operations
Market Drivers for Immunotherapy against Cancer
The most common adult brain tumor has less than a 15-month median survival period after diagnosis. Despite advances in chemotherapy and radiation therapy there has been no change in survival for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients in over 50 years. As a result, there is significant demand for novel therapies to treat brain tumors. We identify two main drivers to bring immunotherapy to market as quickly as possible: (1) the National Institutes of Health has been promoting the development of novel immunotherapies for cancer for over 10 years; and (2) the biopharmaceutical industry has been promoting the development of novel immunotherapies to treat cancer and bringing novel products to market, including Dendreon’s Provenge drug to treat prostate cancer.
What We Do
NovAccess is biopharmaceutical company that specializes in the research and development of a new drug to treat brain cancer and other cancers. We perform pre-clinical and clinical trial experiments to bring the drugs to market. We determine if the new drug candidates are safe and effective for human use and to treat brain and other cancers. We seek to develop a new treatment or a cure for brain cancer patients and make these solutions for these patients a sound investment for our shareholders.
We are developing novel therapies for brain cancer patients in the US and ultimately globally. Our R&D process begins with testing drug candidates through molecular and cellular based assays, animal models for diseases, testing for safety and efficacy in animal models, and human clinical trials to bring drug candidates to market. Once our products have made it to market, we plan to license their use to bigger pharmaceutical companies to better access the patient populations and provide treatment.
We currently do not generate revenue. In order to finance our operations, including clinical trials development and execution, we intend to raise capital through financial institutions that invest in cancer therapeutics. As we achieve milestones during the process of R&D, we expect our overall value to increase. We intend to commercialize our products immediately after successful completion of clinical trials. We plan to license our products to larger biopharmaceutical companies to deliver our product to as many patients as possible once we have obtained the required FDA approvals. We expect to have other treatment candidates outside of our lead candidate moving forward as we build our patent portfolio of other therapeutics to improve patient outcomes and overall quality of health.
The key elements of our approach include:
●
Lead Drug Candidate. We perform pre-clinical R&D to test hypothesis to determine if a lead product is safe and efficacious to treat cancer patients. These experiments include, molecular testing, cell culture testing and animal testing.
●
Publish Data. When appropriate we publish our findings and pursue patents protection for all drug candidates to proceed with human clinical trial testing
●
Human Clinical Trial Testing. At the appropriate time we will seek FDA approval to begin clinical trials on our drug candidates. We submit IND applications to the FDA to obtain this approval.
●
Commercialization. After successfully completing human clinical trials and demonstrating safety and efficacy of a drug candidate, we will commercialize the product.
Customers
At this stage, we do not generate revenue but once we commercialize our products our customers are expected to be cancer patients and/or larger biopharmaceutical companies that we license our products through in order to complete human clinical trial testing and/or to commercialize our products. Because there is currently no immunotherapy to treat brain tumors on the market and survival rates for GBM patients have not improved through standard operational procedures, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy, we anticipate a significant market for our products.
Competition
We compete with other R&D biopharmaceutical companies developing novel immunotherapies to treat brain cancer. Currently, there are no FDA approved immunotherapies available to GBM patients in the market. We have a platform technology as our lead candidate. Once we have commercialized this lead product after proving it is safe and efficacious from our human clinical trial testing, we will seek approval to utilize our platform technology to treat other brain cancers, including childhood brain cancer and other cancers in general.
Intellectual Property
In September and June of 2017, Cedars-Sinai was issued patents, “Use of toll-like receptor ligands as adjuvants to vaccination therapy for brain tumors,” Patent numbers: 9764014 and 8728465. In 2018, StemVax obtained an exclusive license for these patents from Cedars-Sinai. The license term is for the full life of the patents on a country-by-country basis.
Regulation
Our business is subject to extensive regulation by the FDA governing the development, testing, marketing and sale of our biopharmaceuticals. However, compliance with environmental laws is not a significant cost for the Company.
Employees and Consultants
Dr. Dwain Morris-Irvin is our chief executive officer and Neil J. Laird is our fractional chief financial officer. We also rely on qualified consultants to perform specific functions that otherwise would require an employee. As we expand our business developments efforts, we plan to add staff and executive officers to respond to and assist with operations. We consider relations with our full and part-time employees and consultants to be good. To conserve cash we have relied on equity grants to attract and retain key personnel.
Seasonality
Research and development in medicine has no seasonality to its operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
We have only recently refocused our business as a biopharmaceutical company and currently have no revenues or products approved for sale. In addition, we have limited staff and assets. Our stock trades on the OTC Pink, but trading is limited and sporadic. As a result of these and other factors, an investment in NovAccess is inherently speculative and risky.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company does not generate revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. The Company has obtained funds from its officers and lenders since its inception through the year ended September 30, 2021. Management believes the existing shareholders and the prospective new investors will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due and will allow the development of its business.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements which, to the extent they are not recitations of historical facts, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Reform Act).

All of these forward-looking statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by the Reform Act. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can provide no assurance that our expectations will be achieved. As forward-looking statements, these statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Cautionary and Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under “Item 1A: Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report. Readers should carefully review the factors described in other documents that the Company files from time to time with the SEC.
Organization
NovAccess Global Inc. is a Colorado corporation that was formerly known as XsunX, Inc. and Sun River Mining Inc.
New Business Plan
In 2020, we began to transition our operations from solar contracting operations to the commercialization of developmental healthcare solutions in the biotechnology, medical, and health and wellness markets. On June 2, 2020, we entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Innovest Global, Inc. to acquire StemVax for 7.5 million shares of our unregistered common stock. The acquisition was completed on September 8, 2020.
We believe that investing in the biotechnology industry will significantly increase value for our shareholders. However, we cannot guaranty that we will be successful in this endeavor or that we can locate, acquire and finance the acquisition of biotechnology companies.
Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2020
Revenue and Cost of Sales
The Company did not generate any revenue in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”) compared to revenues of $1,044,333 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 (“fiscal 2020”). The decrease of $1,044,333, during fiscal 2021 was primarily due to the Company’s change in focus from commercial solar system sales and the sale of steel canopy construction services to investing in the biotechnology industry. The costs of goods sold was $0 in fiscal 2021 and $822,603 is fiscal 2020.
Pursuant to the reporting requirements of ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations, the Company has determined that the business qualified for presentation as a discontinued operation. Therefore, the Company had reclassified and presented the operating results for fiscal 2020 as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $1,870,048 during fiscal 2021 to $2,698,940 as compared to $828,892 for fiscal 2020. The 2021 expenses reflect a full year while the 2020 expenses cover the period from discontinuation of the solar operations on June 2, 2020 until September 30, 2020. The increase in SG&A expenses was related primarily due to the Company recognizing $962,000 in in stock compensation expense in fiscal 2021 compared to $399,260 recognized in fiscal 2020; an increase of $686,171 professional fees for investor advisory, legal and accounting services; an increase of $360,500 in outside services provided by TN3 under the management services agreement (please see Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence for additional details); as well as an increase of $244,043 in payroll related expenses.
Other Income/(Expenses)
Other expenses decreased by $6,349,040 from other expenses of $6,162,575 for fiscal 2020 to other income of $186,465 for fiscal 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the Company recognizing a loss on conversion of preferred stock of $5,088,524 in fiscal 2020, as well as the Company recognizing a gain on net change of fair market value of the derivative instruments of $548,112 in fiscal 2021 compared to a loss of $1,043,515 in fiscal 2020, partially offset by increase of $347,335 in interest expense recognized.
Net Loss
For fiscal year 2021, our net loss was $2,512,475 as compared to a net loss of $6,770,215 for fiscal 2020. The majority of the decrease in net loss of $4,257,740 was due to a decrease in other expenses associated with a loss recognized on conversion of preferred stock in fiscal 2020 partially offset by the net change in derivative instruments estimated each period. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price, volatility, variable conversion prices based on market prices defined in the respective agreements and probabilities of certain outcomes based on managements’ estimates. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period, therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had a working capital deficit at September 30, 2021 of $3,762,214, as compared to a working capital deficit of $3,454,730 as of September 30, 2020. The increase of $307,484 in working capital deficit was the result of an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and interest on notes payable, and deferred compensation partially offset by increase in cash and prepaid expenses.
For fiscal 2021, our cash flow used by operating activities was $682,333, as compared to cash flow used by operating activities of $93,190 for fiscal 2020. Out of these amounts, $682,333 was used by and $260,705 was used by continuing operating activities in fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. The balance of $167,515 was provided by discontinued operating activities in fiscal 2020. The increase of $421,628 in cash flow used by continuing operating activities was primarily due to changes in assets and liabilities and non-cash stock issuance activities.
Cash flow provided by investing activities was $0 in fiscal 2021, compared to cash flow provided by investing activities of $5 for fiscal 2020. The decrease of $5 in investing activities was primarily due to StemVax acquisition in fiscal 2020.
Cash flow provided by financing activities was $862,823 for fiscal 2021, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $85,399 during fiscal 2020. The increase in cash flow provided by financing activities was the result of sales of the Company’s common stock and proceeds from promissory notes payable.
The Company will need to raise additional funds to finance its ongoing operations, complete its IND application to the FDA and to make payments under its loan agreements. We expect this will require approximately $3.0 million through December 31, 2022. We plan to raise this capital through the issuance of additional common stock as well as obtaining additional debt as needed.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance-sheet arrangements or for other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As a result, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these consolidated financial statements include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance, the fair value of stock options, and derivative liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of NovAccess Global, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NovAccess Global, Inc. (the Company) as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses from operations in current and prior periods and has an accumulated deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Derivative Liabilities
As discussed in Notes 2 and 6, the Company borrows funds through the use of convertible notes payable that contain a conversion price that may be fixed or fluctuates with the stock price.
Auditing management’s estimates of the fair value of the derivative liability involves significant judgements and estimates given the embedded conversion features of the notes.
To evaluate the appropriateness of the fluctuation of the conversion price, the embedded conversion feature requires bifurcation from the host contract and is recorded as a liability subject to market adjustments as of each reporting period. Significant judgment is exercised by the Company in determining derivative liability values for these convertible note agreements, including the use of a specialist engaged by management.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020
1. ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS
Organization
NovAccess Global, Inc. (“NovAccess,” the “Company” or the “issuer”) is a Colorado corporation formerly known as Sun River Mining Inc., “Sun River” and XsunX, Inc., “XsunX”). The Company was originally incorporated in Colorado on February 25, 1997. Effective September 24, 2003, the Company completed a plan of reorganization and name change to XsunX, Inc. In June 2020 the company was acquired and changed its name to NovAccess Global, Inc.
Line of Business
During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company discontinued its direct delivery method for its solar contracting operations. Also, during the year ended September 30, 2020 the Company began efforts to expand its operations to include the commercialization of developmental healthcare solutions in the biotechnology, medical, and health and wellness markets. These efforts are ongoing. There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts to expand operations into healthcare solutions in the biotechnology, medical, and health and wellness markets will be successful, or that the Company will continue to generate revenues of significance similar to prior periods.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company does not generate significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. The Company has obtained funds from its shareholders since its inception through the year ended September 30, 2021. Management believes the existing shareholders and the prospective new investors will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due and will allow the development of its business.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of NovAccess Global, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary StemVax, LLC. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions between these entities have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.
Business Combinations
The Company utilized ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and ASC 850, Related Parties Disclosures to account for the September 8, 2020 acquisition of StemVax, LLC (see note 15 for more details).
Preferred Stock
On September 4, 2020, the Company issued 25,0000 shares of unregistered Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series B Preferred”), to TN3, LLC in exchange for the redemption of 5,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series A Preferred”), held by TN3. TN3 is owned by Daniel G. Martin, the chief executive officer, at the time of the transaction, and the sole member of the board of directors. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock were classified as permanent equity in the Statement of Shareholder’ Deficit for the Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2021 (see note 3 for more details).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these consolidated financial statements include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, revenue recognition, the deferred tax valuation allowance, the fair value of stock options, and derivative liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and money markets with an original maturity of three months or less.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are depreciated using straight line over its estimated useful lives:
Leasehold improvements
Length of the lease
Computer software and equipment
3 Years
Furniture & fixtures
5 Years
Machinery & equipment
5 Years
The Company capitalizes property and equipment over $500. Property and equipment under $500 are expensed in the year purchased. During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold certain assets at net book value for $2,092. The depreciation expense for the years ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, was $0 and $478, respectively, which are now included in the discontinued operations.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue from discontinued operations when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
Revenues and related costs on construction contracts were recognized as the performance obligations for work were satisfied over time in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue and associated profit, were recognized as the customer obtained control of the goods and services promised in the contract (i.e., performance obligations). All un-allocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs were charged to the periods as incurred. However, in the event a loss on a contract was foreseen, the Company would recognize the loss as it is determined.
Revisions in cost and profit estimates during the course of the contract were reflected in the accounting period in which the facts for the revisions became known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts were made in the period in which such losses were determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements, may have resulted in revisions to costs and income, which were recognized in the period the revisions were determined.
Contract receivables of discontinued operations were recorded on contracts for amounts currently due based upon progress billings, as well as any retentions, which were collectible upon completion of the contracts. Accounts payable to material suppliers and subcontractors were recorded for amounts currently due based upon work completed or materials received, as were retention due subcontractors, which were payable upon completion of the contract. General and administrative expenses were charged to operations as incurred and were not allocated to contract costs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Contract Receivable
The Company previously billed its customers in accordance with contractual agreements. The agreements generally required billings to be on a progressive basis as work was completed. Credit was extended based on evaluation of clients’ financial condition and collateral was not required. The Company maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may have arose, if any customer was unable to make required payments. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.
Management previously performed a quantitative and qualitative review of the receivables past due from customers on a monthly basis. The Company recorded an allowance against uncollectible items for each customer after all reasonable means of collection had been exhausted, and the potential for recovery was considered remote. The contract receivables of discontinued operations balance were $0 at September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Project Warranties
Customers in our target market of California who purchased solar energy systems are covered by a warranty of up to 10 years in duration for material defects and workmanship. In addition, we provide a pass-through warranty of the major components such as module mounting, inverter and solar panel manufacturers’ warranties to our customers, which generally range from 10 to 25 years. The manufacturers of these major components provide the warranty directly to our customers. In the event of a component failure the manufacturers provide replacement of the major components such as inverters and solar modules at no charge to our customer, which is an industry standard. In the event of a component failure such as an inverter the standard warranty from the supplier we use, SolarEdge, provides a twelve (12) year no-charge replacement warranty to the customer, and would also provide NovAccess, Inc. or our subcontractor, with $125 compensation for labor replacement costs, should we be requested to replace an inverter or other SolarEdge components. Additionally, we employed the use of licensed subcontractors for the bulk of our installation processes, who as licensed contractors are required to warrant their work for material defects and workmanship for ten (10) years. The Company has a limited history of project installations, and in accessing the potential for warranty related costs and other allowances, we believe that our reliance on the manufacturers and subcontractor warranties would leave a limited and inconsequential cost associated with warranty claims. During the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not experience costs related to warranty claims.
Stock-Based Compensation
Share-based Payment applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are to follow a fair value of those equity instruments. We are required to follow a fair value approach using an option-pricing model, such as the Binomial lattice valuation model, at the date of a stock option grant. The deferred compensation calculated under the fair value method would then be amortized over the respective vesting period of the stock option. This has not had a material impact on our results of operations.
Advertising
Advertising expenses are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expenses were $0 and $7,349 for the years ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Net Earnings (Loss) per Share Calculations
Net earnings (Loss) per share dictates the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the effect of stock options and stock-based awards plus the assumed conversion of convertible debt (see notes 4 and 5).

Diluted weighted average number of shares for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is the same as basic weighted average number of shares because the Company had net losses for fiscal years 2021 and 2020.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of September 30, 2021, the balances reported for cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.
We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
●
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
●
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
●
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2021-04-Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of ASU No. 2021-04 on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, FASB issued accounting standards update ASU-2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows” (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-15, which had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In August 2017, FASB issued accounting standards update ASU-2017-12, “D” (Topic 815) - “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”, to require an entity to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods with the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the update. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-12, which had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-07, which had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this Update modify certain disclosure requirements of fair value measurements and are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-13, which had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
3. CAPITAL STOCK
At September 30, 2021, the Company’s authorized stock consisted of 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, with no par value. Effective August 25, 2020, we filed articles of amendment to our articles of incorporation with the Colorado Secretary of State to effectuate a 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split of the company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
The Company is also authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the preferred stock are determined by the Board of Directors prior to issuance of such shares.
Preferred Stock
As of September 30, 2021 the Company had 25,000 shares of issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Stock following the conversion of 5,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A shares were originally issued in consideration for the contribution of services by Tom Djokovich, the President and Chief Executive Officer, to the Company valued at fifty dollars, which the Board deemed full and fair consideration. Because of such issuance, Mr. Djokovich had the ability to influence and determine stockholder votes. On March 18, 2020, the “Company, Mr. Djokovich, and TN3, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company owned by Daniel G. Martin (“TN3”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Djokovich agreed to sell his 5,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to TN3 in a private sale for cash. The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock could cast votes equal to not less than 60% of the total outstanding voting power of the Company on all matters voted on by the shareholders of the Company. On September 4, 2020, the Company issued 25,000 shares of unregistered Series B Convertible Preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share to TN3 in exchange for the redemption of 5,000 shares of Series A preferred stock. As a result of this exchange, a loss on conversion of Preferred Stock in the amount of $5,088,524 was recognized in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. The shares of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock have the right to vote on an as converted basis. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock converts at 10,000 common shares. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be paid out based on an as converted basis. Dividend for Series B Preferred Stock shall be declared on an as converted basis.

During the period ended September 30, 2021, the Company and lender agreed to extend the maturity date for all tranches of the note to June 30, 2023. The May Note may be converted by the lender into shares of common stock of the Company at the lesser of $10 per share or (b) fifty percent (50%) of the lowest trade price of common stock recorded on any trade day after the effective date, or (c) the lowest effective price per share granted to any person or entity.

The Company recorded amortization of debt discount of $19,007 and amortization of debt issuance costs of $2,042, both of which were recognized as interest expense during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the balance of the June Note was $55,500, which is the total initial debt discount.
On July 6, 2021, the Company issued a 12% unsecured convertible promissory note (the “July Note”) for the principal sum of $38,750 plus accrued interest. The note matures on July 6, 2022. The July Note may be converted by the lender into shares of common stock of the Company at sixty-one percent (61%) of the lowest trade price of common stock recorded during the fifteen (15) trading days prior to conversion. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount of $9,130 and amortization of debt issuance costs of $1,754, both of which were recognized as interest expense during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the balance of the July Note was $38,750, which is the total initial debt discount.
On August 20, 2021, the Company issued a 10% unsecured promissory note (the “August note”) for the principal sum of $500,000 plus accrued interest. The note matures on February 20, 2022, unless extended for up to additional six months. The August Note may be converted, only following an event of default, by the lender into shares of common stock of the Company at the lesser of 90% (representing a 10% discount) multiplied by the lowest trading price during the previous twenty (20) trading day period ending on the issuance date, or during the previous twenty (20) trading day period. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount of $81,378 related to derivative portion of the note and amortization of debt issuance costs of $16,419, both of which were recognized as interest expense during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, as well as $7,176 amortization of debt discount representing commitment fee, recorded as commitment fee expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. In addition, the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock as commitment fee, in relation to which the Company recognized initial commitment fee expense of $209,819. As of September 30, 2021, the balance of the August Note was $500,000, which is the total of initial debt discount of $391,319, initial debt issuance costs of $74,500 and initial debt discount representing commitment fee of $34,181.
We evaluated the financing transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the conversion feature of the convertible promissory notes was not afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to its variable conversion rate. The note has no explicit limit on the number of shares issuable so they did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. The Company elected to recognize the notes under paragraph 815-15-25-4, whereby, there would be a separation into a host contract and derivative instrument. The Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the notes in their entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company recorded a derivative liability representing the imputed interest associated with the embedded derivative. The derivative liability is adjusted periodically according to the stock price fluctuations based upon the Binomial lattice model calculation.
The convertible notes issued and described in Note 4 above, do not have fixed settlement provisions because their conversion prices are not fixed. The conversion feature has been characterized as a derivative liability to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.

We record the full value of the derivative as a liability at issuance with an offset to valuation discount, which will be amortized over the life of the Notes.
At September 30, 2021 and 2020, the fair value of the derivative liability was $2,553,979 and $2,989,165, respectively.
For purpose of determining the fair market value of the derivative liability for the embedded conversion, the Company used Binomial lattice valuation model. The significant assumptions used in the Binomial lattice valuation of the derivatives are as follows:

The Note matured on October 1, 2015, and bore a one-time interest charge of $1,200 which was applied to the principal on October 1, 2014. So long as any shares issuable under a conversion are subject to transfer and sale restrictions imposed pursuant to SEC Rule 144 of the Rules promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, the Company shall, upon written request by Holder, file Form S-8, if applicable, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange commission to register the issued. The convertible note has a fixed settlement provision and does not qualify as a derivative.
6. WARRANTS
On August 20, 2021, for value received in connection with the issuance of August note (see note 4 for more details), the Company issued 1,000,000 warrants to the lender with an exercise price of $1.50 per share with a five-year exercise period.
At September 30, 2021 and 2020, the fair value of the derivative liability warrants was $372,643 and $0, respectively.

7. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Revenues and related costs on construction contracts were recognized as the performance obligations for work were satisfied over time in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue and associated profit, are recognized as the customer obtains control of the goods and services promised in the contract (i.e., performance obligations). The cost of uninstalled materials or equipment would generally be excluded from our recognition of profit, unless specifically produced or manufactured for a project, because such costs are not considered to be a measure of progress.

Contract assets represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed on contracts in progress. Contract liabilities represents billings in excess of revenues recognized on contracts in progress. Assets and liabilities related to long-term contracts are included in current assets and current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets, as they will be liquidated in the normal course of the contract completion. The contract assets and contract liabilities for the years ending September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $0.
8. INCOME TAXES
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, and the state of California. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2015.
Included in the balance at September 30, 2021, are no tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain, but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.
The Company's policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the period ended September 30, 2021, the Company did not recognize interest and penalties.
At September 30, 2021, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $27,090,000 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2021 through 2039. No tax benefit has been reported in the September 30, 2021 consolidated financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rate to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 due to the following:

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

9. OPTIONS
On June 2, 2020, the Company issued 2,000,000,000 options to purchase common stock. These options will be exercisable on a cashless basis for a period of ten years from the effective date of the Stock Split at an exercise price of $0.00001 per share on a pre-Stock Split basis. The number of options on the post Stock Split basis is 2,000,000, and the exercise price of $0.01 per share. The purpose of the options is to compensate our directors for serving on the board without compensation in fiscal 2019. It is difficult to assess the value of the options given the highly limited trading in our Common Stock, the fact that the options shares have not been and are not expected to be registered for resale and will be restricted, and the speculative nature of the Company’s future business plans. However, we estimated the value of the services provided by each of our directors during 2019 and believe that the value of the options to be issued to each of our resigning directors approximates that amount.

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party to, nor are there any such proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities.

14. BUSINESS TRANSITION
On June 2, 2020, in connection with TN3’s acquisition of shares of NovAccess Series B preferred stock from Tom Djokovich, our former president and chief executive officer, the Company entered into a transition services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Solar Energy Builders, Inc. (the “Service Provider”), a company controlled by Mr. Djokovich. The Company has exited the XsunX solar business to transition to the biotechnology business. The Company discontinued its direct delivery method for its solar contracting operations by outsourcing the completion of sold projects under the Services Agreement with the Service Provider. The Company’s intent was to transition from providing contracting services directly to its customers to marketing solar services to potential customers and referring those customers to the Service Provider or engaging the Service Provider to provide the services to customers on behalf of the Company. However, during the period ended September 30, 2021 the Company has exited the solar business completely. We anticipate that this change in operations, will have a negative impact on our gross sales and resulting revenues, if any. However, during the period ended September 30, 2020 the Company began efforts to expand its operations to include the commercialization of developmental healthcare solutions in the biotechnology, medical, and health and wellness markets which efforts are ongoing. There can be no assurance that the Company’s change to its contracting operations to focus on referral fee revenues, and its efforts to expand operations into healthcare solutions in the biotechnology, medical, and health and wellness markets will be successful, or that the Company will continue to generate revenues of significance similar to prior periods.
Mr. Djokovich withdrew his position as the qualifying individual for the Company’s contractor license for the XsunX solar business and terminated the Services Agreement. Mr. Djokovich may accept contracts initially marketed by the Company with the Service Provider as the qualifying individual for the solar license, without obligation to the Company for any cash flows therefrom.
In connection with preparing for the transition, the Company paid Solar Energy Builders, Inc, a related party, $185,300 to serve as the outside contractor for the assumption of the jobs that were started and completed. The Company recognized the expense for the period and deducted the net book value of certain assets (computer and small equipment) in the amount of $2,092 against the income from discontinued operations, leaving a net amount paid of $183,208.
Also, purchase options were issued to the board of directors as discussed in Note 9 for payment of services.

15. STEMVAX, LLC ACQUISITION
On September 8, 2020, NovAccess Global, Inc. acquired 100% of the membership interest in StemVax, LLC (“StemVax”) from Innovest Global, Inc. StemVax is a biotechnology company developing therapies for brain tumor patients and holds a related exclusive patent license from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (“CSMC”) for StemVax Glioblast (SVX-GB) a cancer vaccine therapy that enhances patient’s immune response against brain tumors.
NovAccess issued 7,500,000 common shares based on September 8, 2020 market price of $0.85 to acquire StemVax. Total consideration paid for 100% interest was $6,375,000. The acquisition included license fees; milestone payments; and royalty payments during clinical trials through revenue generation.
The intangible asset "the license agreement with CSMC" acquired as part of the transaction was fair valued at zero as any potential revenues from the commercialization of the license were subject to successful clinical trials and market penetration. In addition, StemVax is in the development stage and has no projected revenue for 10 years into the future.
The transaction between NovAccess and Innovest was determined to be a related party transaction as Dan Martin, the CEO of Innovest has a controlling interest in both entities. Therefore, the assets and liabilities are carried over at book value per ASC 805-50 and the excess consideration was recorded as a deemed dividend.

On June 2, 2020, the Company entered into a transition agreement, and changed their focus to a new line of business. As a result, the Company discontinued the solar business and all related operations. Pursuant to the reporting requirements of ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations, the Company has determined that the business qualifies for presentation as a discontinued operation. Therefore, the Company had reclassified the business assets and liabilities as discontinued operations in the accompanying Balance Sheet and presented the operating results as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of Operations and Statements of Cash Flows.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management team, with the participation of our chief executive officer, Dwain K. Morris-Irvin, and chief financial officer, Neil J. Laird, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of NovAccess’ disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under the Securities Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2021. Based upon this evaluation, Messrs. Morris-Irvin and Laird concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The NovAccess management team is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined under the Securities Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Our management team, with the participation of Messrs Morris-Irvin and Laird, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021. In making this assessment, management used the criteria designated by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based upon this evaluation, Messrs. Morris-Irvin and Laird concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021 due to the existence of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting primarily as a result of audit adjustments related to accounting for certain derivatives and other income. To remediate the issue, we have retained an external accounting consulting firm to assist us with the review and reporting of complex and unusual transactions.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by the Securities Exchange Act that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The sole member of our board directors, Daniel Martin, previously served as our interim chief executive and financial officer and is a significant shareholder. As a result, he is not considered an independent director.

We paid TN3 $99,148 under the agreement in fiscal 2021, but did not make all required payments. As of September 30, 2021, we owed TN3 $290,852 under this agreement.

TN3 holds all of our outstanding preferred stock and is owned by Daniel Martin.
