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

Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of lab testing services through our subsidiary Digipath Labs, Inc., and to a lesser extent, through the sale of advertising through one of our other subsidiaries, TNM News Corp. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition.
There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting ASC 606 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, or the twelve months ended September 30, 2018.

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.
RecentAdoption of New Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issuedestablished Topic 842,Leases, by issuing ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 which requires lessees to recognize assetsthe rights and liabilitiesobligations created by leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-11,Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-10,Codification Improvements to Topic 842, and ASU No. 2018-01,Land Easement Practical Expedient for most leases. ASU 2016-02 isTransition to Topic 842. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations.
The new standard became effective for public entity financial statements for annual periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early2019, with 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 apermitted. A modified retrospective transition approach without adjustingis required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods presented.periods. The Company isadopted the new standard on October 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach as of the effective date of the initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before October 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits entities not to reassess under the new lease standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company does not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements.
The most significant effects of the adoption of the new standard relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease labilities on our balance sheet for office operating leases and providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities.
The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company has also elected the short-term leases recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means that the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities, for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. The Company also currently evaluating ASU 2016-02expects to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its impact on its consolidated financial statements.leases.

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 $14,553,595,$15,176,087, and as of June 30,December 31, 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 3 – 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 1214 - 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 ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2019 and the year ended September 30, 2018,2019, 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 June 30,December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $8,900,000$9,200,000 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 June 30,December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018,2019, respectively.
In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no uncertain tax positions.

Overview
Digipath, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on October 5, 2010. Digipath, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Digipath,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”)is a service-oriented independent testing laboratory, data analytics and media firm focused on the developing cannabis and hemp markets, andsupports the cannabis industry’s best practices for reliable testing, cannabis education and training. Our business units as of June 30,December 31, 2019 are described below.
Ø | Digipath Labs, | |
Ø | GroSciences, Inc. Launched during the first fiscal quarter of 2019 to capitalize on the extensive data we have collected from cannabis through the testing process. GroSciences plans to develop and license specific formulations to other producers and product makers in the industry, and to market and sell its “Tru-Hemp ID” Kit which distinguishes industrial hemp from drug-type cannabis. |
Our cannabis testing revenues improved slightly over the previous fiscal quarter, but was substantially lower than our comparative nine month period ending June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily the result of the temporary suspension by regulators of 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 prior period when these competitors were reinstated. As an ISO 17025:2017 accredited lab, we believe that we are now well positioned to handle future growth in full compliance with Nevada’s regulations applicable to our 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.
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.

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
As of June 30,December 31, 2019, our balance of cash on hand was $286,365.$68,657. 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
Effective October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the salecommercial sales of lab testing services through our subsidiary Digipath Labs, Inc.,products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a lesser extent, throughcustomer; (2) identify the sale of advertising through one of our other subsidiaries, TNM News Corp.performance obligations in the 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 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue was recognized when the following criteria had been met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has 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.
There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting ASC 606 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, or the twelve months ended September 30, 2018.
RevenueOur revenue is primarily generated through our subsidiary, Digipath Labs, Inc., which recognizes revenue from the analytical testing of cannabis products tofor licensed producers and cultivators within the state of Nevada on a determinable fixed fee per test, or panel of tests basis. Revenue from the performance of those services is recognized upon completion of the tests, at which time test results are delivered to the customer, provided collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. We typically require payment within thirty days of the delivery of results. Management 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 ratably over the campaign. The Company defers any revenue for which the term of the 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.

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 June 30,December 31, 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 June 30,December 31, 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.
