Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Companyoperates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments.instruments.

Revenue Recognition

TheEffective January 1, 2018, the Company adoptedAccounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) on October 1, 2017. This update provides guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five-step model to determine when revenue recognition is appropriate. The standard requires that an entity recognize revenue from contracts with customers to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new update does not affect howCustomers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in accordance withthe contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605,606 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605 requires that four basic606, revenue is recognized when the following criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized:are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery of product has met the criteria established in the arrangement or services rendered;occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. With respect

There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting ASC 606 for the six months ended March 31, 2019, or the twelve months ended September 30, 2018.

Revenue is primarily generated through our subsidiary, Digipath Labs, Inc., which recognizes revenue from the analytical testing of cannabis products to our cannabis lab testing revenues,we sell our serviceslicensed producers and cultivators within the state of Nevada on a determinable fixed fee per test, or panel of tests basis, and offer a discounted price for customers that agreebasis. Revenue from the performance of those services is recognized upon completion of the tests, at which time test results are delivered to exclusive or predetermined quantitiesthe customer, provided collectability of tests. Wethe fee is reasonably assured. We typically require payment within thirty days of the delivery of results. RevenuesManagement estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of its receivables.

The Company also recognizes revenue through our subsidiary, TNM News Corp., which primarily recognizes revenue from advertisements through partnered merchants. Payment for ad revenues are received prior to the distribution of the ad campaign, and the revenues are recognized uponratably over the substantial completioncampaign. The Company defers any revenue for which the term of the tests when collectability is reasonably assured, which is usually upon delivery of results to the customer.campaign has not yet been realized. To date, these revenues have not been materially significant.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 505-50 (ASC 505-50). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2017,August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-09,2018-13,Compensation-Stock CompensationFair Measurement (Topic 718)820): Scope of Modification AccountingDisclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which clarifies when a change tomodify the terms or conditionsdisclosure requirements of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The new guidance requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award.Topic 820. The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017,2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and does not plan to early adopt the ASU.

In May 2014 the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Since ASU 2014-09 was issued, several additional ASUs have been issued to clarify various elements of the guidance. These standards provide guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five-step model to determine when revenue recognition is appropriate. The standard requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted the new standard to be effective with our first interim reporting period for the three months ended December 31, 2017. We use the modified retrospective method of adoption. We have completed an initial evaluation of the potential impact from adopting the new standard, including a detailed review of performance obligations for all material revenue streams. Based on this initial evaluation, adoption does not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Related disclosures have been expanded in line with the requirements of the standard.statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public entity financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. ASU 2016-02 was further clarified and amended within ASU 2018-01, ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11 and ASU 2018-20 which included provisions that would provide us with the option to adopt the provisions of the new guidance using a modified retrospective transition approach, without adjusting the comparative periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-02 and its impact on its consolidated financial statements.

There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 2 – Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of ($12,376,084),$14,063,967, and as of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company’s cash on hand may not be sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new customers to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. Management believes these factors will contribute toward achieving profitability. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 43 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, 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 (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Note 1112 - Income Tax

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10, which requires use of the liability method. FASB ASC 740-10-25 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.

For the six months ended March 31, 20182019 and the year ended September 30, 2017,2018, the Company incurred a net operating loss and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had approximately $7,467,000$8,560,000 of federal net operating losses. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2031.

Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of its loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at March 31, 20182019 and September 30, 2017,2018, respectively.

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no uncertain tax positions.

Our business units as of March 31, 20182019 are described below.

Our cannabis testing and business licenses were briefly suspendedrevenues improved slightly over the previous fiscal quarter, but was substantially lower than our comparative six month period ending March 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily the result of the temporary suspension by Nevada regulators for an eight business day periodof two of our competitors in the prior year’s quarter, resulting in a significant increase in our sales during that quarter. Our revenues stabilized subsequent to the end of the quarter ended December 31, prior period when these competitors were reinstated. As an ISO 17025:2017 commencing at the end of business on Friday, January 19, 2018, and were reinstated on January 31, 2018. This significantly affected our financial results for the second fiscal quarter. In response to the temporary suspension,accredited lab, we refined our laboratory testing processes and increased our staffing to better support the level of demand we experienced during the first fiscal quarter, during which Nevada regulators suspended several of our competitors’ licenses, resulting in record revenues for us. We believe that we are now well positioned to handle future growth in full compliance with Nevada’s regulations applicable to our operations.operations and are actively working to expand to other jurisdictions.

We are currently seeking to expand our lab testing services to Colombia, and to that end have retained Colombian counsel, formed a Colombian subsidiary and hired two local employees. Our goal is to launch a testing lab in Colombia by the end of the fiscal year, although there can be no assurance that we will be successful in that regard.

In January 2019, we entered into an agreement to provide potency testing laboratories for hemp production at sites owned by Hemp, Inc. in North Carolina, Oregon and Arizona. Under the terms of the agreement, we will oversee and manage the construction and build out of a hemp potency-testing laboratory in three of Hemp Inc.’s locations and Hemp. Inc. will provide the space for the testing laboratories at no cost to us. Construction has not yet commenced.

We are also exploring opportunities to capitalize on the extensive data we have collected from our cannabis testing activities. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, GroSciences, Inc., we intend to license specific formulations and intellectual property developed from our experience in the cannabis industry. We have not yet commenced operations for this initiative, other than minimal research and development activities and patent filings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following is a summary of the Company’s cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the six month periods ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017:2018:

Net Cash Provided inby (Used in) Operating Activities

During the six months ended March 31, 2018,2019, net cash used in operating activities was $690,634, compared to net cash provided by operating activities wasof $101,547 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $105,060 for the same period ended March 31, 2017.2018. The increase in cash provided byused in operating activities is primarily attributable to our $177,570, or 37% increase in gross profitincreased net lossas we continued to develop ourdidn’t benefit from the decreased competition from the suspension of two competing cannabis testing lab operationslabs in the current period, as we did in the prior period.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

During the six months ended March 31, 2018,2019, net cash used in investing activities was $186,370,$96,375, compared to $2,770$186,370 for the same period ended March 31, 2017.2018. The increasedecrease is attributable to greater investments made for cannabis testing equipment in the currentprior period thanthat was not necessary in the comparativecurrent period, in addition to the advancement of short term loans during the current period.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

During the six months ended March 31, 2018,2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $143,008,$1,125,000, compared to $250,000$143,008 for the same period ended March 31, 2017.2018. The current period consisted of proceeds received on fixed convertible debt financing at $0.14 per share and the sale of $625,000 of common stock, while the comparative period consisted of proceeds received from the sale of stock and warrants.

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

As of March 31, 2018,2019, our balance of cash on hand was $236,362.$514,018. We currently may not have sufficient funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months and we may need to raise additional cash to fund our operations and expand our lab testing business.As we continue to develop our lab testing business and attempt to expand operational activities, we expect to experience net negative cash flows from operations in amounts not now determinable, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings to the extent necessary to provide working capital. We have and expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs.

The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit, and, as set forth above, the Company’s cash on hand is not sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new customers to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations.In the event sales do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing or would attempt to conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving these objectives, becoming profitable or continuing our business without either a temporary interruption or a permanent cessation. In addition, additional financing may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results and affect the more significant judgments and estimates that we used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has adoptedAccounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) on October 1, 2017.. This updateprovides guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five-step model to determine when revenue recognition is appropriate. The standard requires that an entity recognize revenue from contracts with customers to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new update does not affect how the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605,606, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605606 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of product has met the criteria established in the arrangement or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. With respect to our cannabis lab testing revenues,we sell our services on a determinable fixed fee per test, or panel of tests basis, and offer a discounted price for customers that agree to exclusive or predetermined quantities of tests. We typically require payment within thirty days of the delivery of results. Revenues are recognized upon the substantial completion of the tests when collectability is reasonably assured, which is usually upon delivery of results to the customer.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 505-50 (ASC 505-50). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2018.2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2018,2019, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) or in other factors that occurred during the period of our evaluation or subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any system of controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
