Business

Mastermind, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or the “organization”) is an involvement marketing service agency that designs, creates and develops branding and marketing campaigns, primarily for large corporate clients with well-known brands. We specialize in customer conversion initiatives that we believe facilitate the involvement of more of the “right customers” with the brands of our clients. We focus on converting prospects to customers. Our programs can take on various forms, including creating and managing digital content, designing websites, social media and sharing campaigns, mobile merchandising, and communications and branding.

On February 14, 2018, we consummated a transactions pursuant to a Joint Venture Interest Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) made and entered into as of February 14, 2018 by and among (i) us, (ii) Mastermind Involvement Marketing, a Georgia joint venture (“MIM”), and (iii) Mastermind Marketing, Inc, a Georgia Corporation (“MM Inc.”), Digital Advize, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Advize”), and Villanta Corporation, a Georgia Corporation (“Villanta”, together with Advize and MM Inc., the “Sellers” or “Majority Stockholders”).

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement the Sellers contributed, transferred, assigned and conveyed to us all right, title and interest in and to one hundred percent (100%) of such joint venture interest in MIM (the “Contributed Joint Venture Interest”), together with any and all rights, privileges, benefits, obligations and liabilities appertaining thereto, reserving unto such Seller no rights or interests therein whatsoever, and (ii) we accepted the contribution of the Contributed Joint Venture Interest, and in consideration for such contribution the Sellers collectively were entitled to receive from us 29,236,759 of our common stock, $.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) representing 85% of our total outstanding Common Stock after the issuance of the Contribution Consideration (the “Contribution Consideration”) with each Seller receiving for its respective percentage of Contributed Joint Venture Interest that same percentage of the Contribution Consideration (such transaction, the “Business Combination”). As a result of the Business Combination, the Sellers became our controlling shareholders of and we became a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Business Combination was treated as a “reverse acquisition” for accounting purposes, whereby MIM is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and our historical financial statements before the Business Combination will be replaced with the historical financial statements of MIM and its consolidated entities before the Business Combination in all future filings.

On April 19, 2018, our Board of Directors took action by written consent to approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation (the “Amended Certificate”) to change of our name from CoConnect, Inc. to Mastermind, Inc. (the “Name Change”), subject to stockholder approval. On April 27, 2018, in lieu of a meeting of our stockholders, and pursuant to Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes of the State of Nevada, the Majority Stockholders, who represent 85% of our voting securities, approved the Amended Certificate, by written consent. On May 24, 2018, we filed the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to change our name to Mastermind, Inc.

Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which we consider necessary, for a fair presentation of those financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 may not necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for any succeeding period or for the entire fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments, which are evaluated on an ongoing basis, and that affect the amounts reported in our unaudited

MASTERMIND, INC.

condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments. In particular, significant estimates and judgments include those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives and valuation of property and equipment.

We adopted the Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” as of October 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method, and concluded that, consistent with prior reporting, our revenues are primarily generated from our involvement marketing services and contracts which are typically billed based on time and materials or at a fixed price. If billed at a fixed price, revenue is recognized on a proportional performance basis as the services specified in the arrangement are performed. The determination of proportional performance revenue recognition is dependent on the nature of the services specified in the arrangement. Advanced payments on services and contracts are deferred and recorded as unearned revenues on our balance sheet until the earnings process has been completed and revenue is then recognized. In all cases, we evaluate involvement marketing contracts to determine that the time and amount of services reflects the consideration expected to be received for the performance obligations that have been provided in accordance with the five-step process to recognize revenues as defined in ASC606. ASC 606 defines contracts as written, oral and through customary business practice. Under this definition, we consider contracts to be created at the time that an order to provide services is agreed upon regardless of whether or not there is a written contract. Results for reporting periods after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606.

Related Party Transactions

On January 3, 2012, we entered into a perpetual license agreement (the “Perpetual License”) with Mastermind Marketing, Inc. (the “Licensor”), which provides for licenses of trademarks, internet domains, and certain intellectual property as defined in the Perpetual License. The Licensor is one of our members and its chief executive officer is also our chief executive officer. The Perpetual License, which may be terminated at any time by either party, is effective January 3, 2012 and provides for aggregate payments of $2,170,000 over the calendar years from 2019 through 2039 with no further payments required after December 31, 2039. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, there were no license fee payments required or payable.

On January 3, 2014, we entered into a commercial lease agreement (the “Lease”) with 1450 West Peachtree, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Landlord”), for the lease of our corporate facility in Atlanta, Georgia. In connection with the Lease, we have entered into a sublease agreement which provides for the sublease of 9,000 square feet of the total 15,000 of the demised property. The sublessor is not a related party. The manager of the Landlord is also our chief executive officer. The term of the lease is 10 years from the date of the agreement and provides for monthly rent and payment of operating expenses on a triple-net basis. In satisfaction of our obligation to the Landlord pursuant to the Lease, we made lease payments, net of payments made by the sublessee, of $30,000 and $30,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $60,000 and $60,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

On December 12, 2016, we executed a promissory note (the “Note”), in the principal amount of $500,000, with Mastermind Marketing, Inc. The principal of the Note, including all accrued interest, was due and payable on December 12, 2018. During the term of the Note, interest is payable monthly at a rate equal to the greater of 3.75% per annum or the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the last day of the month plus one-half percent (1/2%), however the interest rate will not exceed 5.5% per annum. As of September 31, 2018 the obligation to pay all principal and accrued interest was satisfied and there were no further borrowings during the six months ended March 31, 2019 or balances due as of March 31, 2019. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded interest expense of $3,998 and $8,600.

We made payments to our Majority Stockholders pursuant to the terms of an operating agreement, as amended, for services rendered to us in the aggregate amount of $212,810 and $212,810 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $425,620 and $325,629 during the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018,

respectively. As of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, we had no obligations payable to our three majority stockholders for consulting services.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consist of the following:


	March 31, 2019	September 30, 2018
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment	$ 140,319	$ 131,487
Leasehold improvements	73,795	73,795
	214,114	205,282
Less: accumulated depreciation	(127,402)	(112,597)
	$ 86,712	$ 92,685

Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $7,201 and $6,962, respectively. Depreciation expense for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $14,805 and $14,268, respectively.

Income Taxes

Prior to February 14, 2018, the effective date of the Business Combination, no provision for income taxes was made since we were treated as a partnership for income tax purposes and the income or loss was passed through to our members.

We are required to file federal and state income tax returns in the United States. The preparation of these tax returns requires us to interpret the applicable tax laws and regulations in effect in such jurisdictions, which could affect the amount of tax paid by us. In consultation with our tax advisors, we base our tax returns on interpretations that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The tax returns, however, are subject to routine reviews by the various federal and state taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which we file tax returns. As part of these reviews, a taxing authority may disagree with respect to the income tax positions taken by us (“uncertain tax positions”) and, therefore, may require us to pay additional taxes. As required under applicable accounting rules, we accrue an amount for our estimate of additional income tax liability, including interest and penalties, which we could incur as a result of the ultimate or effective resolution of the uncertain tax positions. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a federal corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. We have estimated our provision for income taxes in accordance with the Tax Act and guidance available as of the date of this filing but have kept the full valuation allowance.

On December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") was issued to address the application of US GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. The deferred tax expense recorded in connection with the remeasurement of deferred tax assets is a provisional amount and a reasonable estimate at December 31, 2017 based upon the best information currently available. The ultimate impact may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Act. Any subsequent adjustment to these amounts will be recorded to current tax expense in the quarter of 2018 when the analysis is complete.

Stockholders’ Equity

Our current authorized capital stock consists of one hundred twenty-six million (126,000,000) shares of stock consisting of (i) one hundred twenty-five million (125,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”); and (ii) one million (1,000,000) shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). A 2018 Equity Incentive Plan consisting of four million (4,000,000) shares of Common Stock was also adopted by written consent of holders of 85% of the voting securities.

Preferred Stock

Our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that our board of directors has the authority, without action by the stockholders, to designate and issue shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series, and the number of shares constituting any such class or series, and to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of each class or series of preferred stock, including, without limitation, dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, exchange rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, dissolution preferences, and treatment in the case of a merger, business combination transaction, or sale of the Company’s assets substantially in their entirety, which rights may be greater than the rights of the holders of the common stock.

There are no shares of Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, we issued 29,236,759 shares of our Common Stock, in the aggregate, to Mastermind Marketing, Inc, a Georgia Corporation, Digital Advize, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, and Villanta Corporation, a Georgia Corporation. These three entities are controlled by Daniel A. Dodson, Ricardo Rios, and Michael Gelfond; respectively. Messrs, Dodson, Rios and Gelfond were appointed as our executive officers upon the consummation of the Business Consummation.

There were no stock options exercised during the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers

For the six months ended March 31, 2019, one client represented approximately 10% of our total revenues. For the six months ended March 31, 2018, three customers represented approximately 34%, 15% and 11%, respectively, of our total revenues.

As of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, we had accounts receivable of $482,721, or 59%, due from three customers; and $507,031, or 62%, due from four customers, respectively.

In accordance with the provisions of the Litigation Reform Act, we are making investors aware that such forward-looking statements, because they relate to future events, are by their very nature subject to many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

In addition, assumptions relating to budgeting, marketing, product development and other management decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our marketing, capital expenditure or other budgets, which may in turn affect our financial position and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the financial statements which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon these financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. In the past, actual results have not been materially different from our estimates. However, results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 vs. March 31, 2018

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $1,474,036 as compared with $1,248,553 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $225,483 or 18.1%. The increase is attributable to incremental project assignments creating increased project revenues from certain significant existing customers during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the comparable prior year period. It is anticipated that these increased project assignments will be ongoing and recurring in future periods.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $1,293,703 or 87.8% of revenues, compared with $1,182,219 or 94.7% of revenues, for the comparable prior year period. The increase in gross profit dollars is primarily due to the increase in project revenues. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to increased investment in the growth of our business through the expansion of existing and new clients. We have added more category-specific and subject-matter expertise to realize more revenue opportunities with clients and potential clients. We anticipate this investment should drive more revenue growth.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $941,849 as compared with $950,895 for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $9,046 or 1.0%. Our general and administrative expenses decreased primarily as a result of decreased legal and license fees of $73,718 incurred in connection with the merger transaction during the three months ended March 31, 2018. These decreases were offset by increases in (i) personnel costs of $24,814; (ii) accounting and auditing fees of $14,700; (iii) entry fees for awards of $11,960; and (iv) market research costs of $10,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $243,949 as compared with $142,836 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $101,113 or 70.8%. The increase is primarily attributable to increased revenues from client projects.

Six Months Ended March 31, 2019 vs. March 31, 2018

Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2019 were $2,695,377 as compared with $2,210,424 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $484,953 or 21.9%.

Gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2019 was $2,349,959 or 87.2% of revenues, compared with $1,975,004 or 89.4% of revenues, for the comparable prior year period. The increase in gross profit dollars is primarily due to the increase in project revenues. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to increased investment in the growth of our business through the expansion of existing and new clients. We have added more category-specific and subject-matter expertise to realize more revenue opportunities with clients and potential clients. We anticipate this investment should drive more revenue growth.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2019 were $1,932,632 as compared with $1,665,728 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $266,904 or 16.0%.

Other (Expense), Net

Other (expense), net for the six months ended March 31, 2019 was $0 as compared with $58,600 for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $58,600. The decrease is primarily due to the costs of the merger incurred during the six months ended March 31, 2018.

Net Income

Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2019 was $309,421 as compared with $201,920 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $107,501 or 53.2%. The increase is primarily attributable to increased revenues from client projects.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2019, we had cash of $673,033 when compared with a balance of $861,371 as of September 30, 2018.

During the six months ended March 31, 2019, we had net cash of $186,095 used in operating activities as compared with net cash of $454,529 provided by operating activities for the comparable prior year period. Our uses of cash for operating activities have primarily consisted of salaries and wages for our employees; costs incurred in connection with performance on client projects; facility and facility-related costs, material and professional fees. The sources of our cash flows from operating activities have consisted primarily of payments received from clients in connection with the performance on contractually agreed-upon projects. The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities, as compared to the comparable prior year period, is primarily due to (i) an increase in receivables from customers for billed projects during the period and in unbilled receivables for customers where revenues were earned but not billed during the period: (ii) an increase in prepaid expenses; and (iii) a decrease in unearned revenues and deferred tax liabilities. These uses of cash offset our net income for the period.

During the six months ended March 31, 2019, we had net cash of $8,832 used in investing activities as compared with net cash of $11,223 used in investing activities for the comparable prior year period. The net cash outflows are a result of the purchase of computers and office equipment during the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

During the six months ended March 31, 2019, we had net cash of $6,589 provided by financing activities as compared to net cash of $175,646 used in financing activities for the comparable prior year period. The net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2019 is a result of a repayment to us of an advance made to a related party. The net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2018 is primarily due to (i) distributions of $100,000 to our chief executive officer, executive vice president and senior vice president, prior to the merger transaction; (ii) repayment of the related party note payable in the amount of $62,160; and (iii) repayment of the related party advance in the amount of $13,486.

There were no exercises of options or warrants during the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

The ability to attract additional capital investments in the future will depend on many factors, including the availability of credit, rate of revenue growth, ability to acquire new client opportunities, the timing of new product introductions and enhancements to existing products, and the opportunities to acquire complimentary businesses that may be made available to us from time-to-time. We believe that as of March 31, 2019 our cash position and cash flows from our fiscal 2019 operations will be sufficient to fund our working capital and planned strategic activities for at least the next twelve months.

Any potential future sale of equity or debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders, and we cannot be certain that additional public or private financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are required to raise additional financing, but are unable to obtain such financing, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more aspects of our operations or business development activities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of March 31, 2019 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management has formed a committee that is planning a series of meetings to address these issues over the next several months. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of March 31, 2019, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to (i) insufficient segregation of duties in the finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel; and (ii) inadequate corporate governance policies. In the future, subject to working capital limitations, we intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make improvements to remediate these deficiencies. Management will not be able to fully address this issue until there is adequate revenue to afford the financial resources to responsibly hire enough people to properly segregate all duties to insure best practice internal controls.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
