NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY HISTORY AND NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

Nukkleus Inc. (f/k/a Compliance & Risk Management Solutions Inc.) (“Nukkleus” or the “Company”) was formed on July 29, 2013 in the State of Delaware as a for-profit Company and established a fiscal year end of September 30.

On February 5, 2016, Charms Investments, Ltd (“Charms”), the former majority shareholder of the Company, sold 146,535,140 shares of common stock to Currency Mountain Holdings Bermuda, Limited (“CMH”), the parent of the Company. CMH is wholly-owned by an entity that is owned by Emil Assentato, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Chairman. In addition, on the same date, CMH acquired 3,937,000 shares of common stock from another non-affiliated company. The aggregate purchase price paid by CMH was $347,500.

On May 24, 2016, Nukkleus, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nukkleus Limited, a Bermuda limited company (“Nukkleus Limited”), Charms, the former majority shareholder, and CMH entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company purchased from CMH certain intellectual property, hardware, software and other assets (collectively, the “Assets”) in consideration of 48,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The Asset Purchase Agreement closed on May 24, 2016. As a result of such acquisition, the Company’s operations are now focused on the operation of a foreign exchange trading business utilizing the assets acquired from CMH.

On May 24, 2016, Nukkleus Limited entered into a General Service Agreement to provide its software, technology, customer sales and marketing and risk management technology hardware and software solutions package to FML Malta Ltd. In December 2017, Nukkleus Limited, FML Malta Ltd. and FXDD Malta Limited (“FXDD Malta”) entered into a letter agreement providing that there was an error in drafting the General Service Agreement and acknowledging that the correct counter-party to Nukkleus Limited in the General Service Agreement is FXDD Malta. Accordingly, all references to FML Malta Ltd. have been replaced with FXDD Malta. FXDD Malta is a private limited liability company formed under the laws of Malta. The General Service Agreement entered with FXDD Malta provides that FXDD Malta will pay Nukkleus Limited at minimum $2,000,000 per month. On October 17, 2017, Nukkleus Limited entered into an amendment of the General Service Agreement with FXDD Malta. In accordance with the amendment, which was effective as of October 1, 2017, the minimum amount payable by FXDD Malta to Nukkleus Limited for services was reduced from $2,000,000 per month to $1,600,000 per month. Emil Assentato is also the majority member of Max Q Investments LLC (“Max Q”), which is managed by Derivative Marketing Associates Inc. (“DMA”). Mr. Assentato is the sole owner and manager of DMA. Max Q owns 79% of Currency Mountain Malta LLC, which in turn is the sole shareholder of FXDD Malta.

In addition, on May 24, 2016, in order to appropriately service FXDD Malta, Nukkleus Limited entered into a General Service Agreement with FXDirectDealer LLC (“FXDIRECT”), which provides that Nukkleus Limited will pay FXDIRECT a minimum of $1,975,000 per month in consideration of providing personnel engaged in operational and technical support, marketing, sales support, accounting, risk monitoring, documentation processing and customer care and support. FXDIRECT may terminate this agreement upon providing 90 days’ written notice. On October 17, 2017, Nukkleus Limited entered into an amendment of the General Service Agreement with FXDIRECT. Pursuant to the amendment, which was effective as of October 1, 2017, the minimum amount payable by Nukkleus Limited to FXDIRECT for services was reduced from $1,975,000 per month to $1,575,000 per month. Currency Mountain Holdings LLC is the sole shareholder of FXDIRECT. Max Q is the majority shareholder of Currency Mountain Holdings LLC.

On May 27, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) to acquire, from IBIH Limited, a BVI corporation (“IBIH”) 2,200 issued and outstanding common stock for $1,000,000, representing 9.9% of IBIH. In addition, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of GVS Limited (“Iron BVI”), which is the parent corporation of GVS (AU) Pty Ltd. (“Iron Australia”) for 24,156,000 shares of common stock of the Company. On November 17, 2017, the Company, IBIH, Terra (FX) Offshore Limited, Ludico Investments Limited, Currency Mountain Holdings LLC and the IBIH Shareholders entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Iron Settlement Agreement”) pursuant to which the SPA was terminated, all differences between the parties were resolved and settled and the parties fully released the other parties from any liability.

IBIH agreed to return the 24,156,000 shares of common stock of the Company to the Company for cancellation and to pay the Company $1,000,000. Further, Markos Kashiouris, Petros Economides and Efstathios Christophi resigned as directors of the Company and waived any directorship fees payable to them under their letter of appointment dated August 1, 2016. The $1,000,000 has been paid to the Company, net of approximately $70,000 of legal expenses, in the first fiscal quarter of 2018 and IBIH has returned the certificate representing the 24,156,000 shares of common stock of the Company and the shares have been cancelled by the Company.

NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY HISTORY AND NATURE OF THE BUSINESS (continued)

On June 3, 2016, the Company agreed to sell to Currency Mountain Holdings Bermuda, Limited (“CMH”) 30,900,000 shares of common stock and 200,000 shares of Series A preferred stock for $2,000,000 in two equal installments. The first closing occurred on June 7, 2016. The second closing was to occur with the closing of the Company’s acquisition of IBIH. As the IBIH transaction has been terminated, the second transaction with CMH will not proceed.

In July 2018, the Company incorporated Nukkleus Malta Holding Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary. In July 2018, Nukkleus Malta Holding Ltd. incorporated Nukkleus Exchange Malta Ltd. and is in the processes of incorporating Nukkleus Payments Malta Ltd. For Nukkleus Payments Malta Ltd., management is currently exploring obtaining an Electronic Money Institution license to facilitate customer payment transactions. For Nukkleus Exchange Malta Ltd., the Company is creating an electronic exchange whereby it facilitates the buying and selling of various digital assets as well as traditional currency pairs used in FX trading. Currently, Nukkleus Exchange Malta Ltd. is in the process of finalizing the exchange and such costs have been paid for by related parties. As of June 30, 2019, approximately $1.1 million has been incurred by out affiliates and ownership of the exchange will be transferred to the Company upon completion. Both entities would be regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority.

The financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable for a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company incurred net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 of $419,719 and had a working capital deficit of $737,659 at June 30, 2019. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the management of expenses and ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and upon profitable operations.

We need to either borrow funds or raise additional capital through equity or debt financings.  However, we cannot be certain that such capital (from our shareholders or third parties) will be available to us or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to us.   Any such financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders and could result in significant financial operating covenants that would negatively impact our business. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, we will have insufficient funds to operate our business or pursue our planned growth.

NOTE 2 –  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. These accounts were prepared under the accrual basis of accounting. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20, 2018. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 contained herein has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

NOTE 3 –  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 include the fair value of the investment in digital currency, bad debt expense, valuation of deferred tax assets and the associated valuation allowances.

Fair value of financial instruments and fair value measurements

The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset and paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes valuation techniques to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Inputs are broadly defined as assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, prepaid expense, due from affiliates, due to affiliates, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair market value based on the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

The fair value of the investment in digital currency is determined using the equivalency rate of the digital currency to USD. Digital currency consists of cryptocurrency denominated assets and are included in current assets. The Company revalues such assets at every reporting period and recognizes gain or loss as unrealized gain on digital currency, net, on the consolidated statements of operations that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the digital currency.

The following table provides the financial assets measured on a recurring basis and reported at fair value on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2019:

The investment in digital currency has a cost of $90,120 net of fee, unrealized gain of $62,229 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, and a fair value of $152,349 at June 30, 2019. There is an unrealized gain of $94,297 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company transferred $3,880 of its investment in digital currency to a related party. The Company did not have any financial asset measured at fair value on a recurring basis on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2018.

Concentration of credit risk

The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company’s cash balances accounts had approximately $0 and $8,000 in excess of the federally-insured limits, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through and as of the date of this report.

Concentration of credit risk (continued)

The following table summarizes customer revenue concentrations:

The following table summarizes vendor expense concentrations:

Deposit on software development

In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company signed an agreement with a third-party for the customization and development of a trading platform to be used by it. In accordance with the signed agreement, the Company made a deposit on software development of $50,000. The project was cancelled in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and the Company received a subsequent reimbursement of $10,000 of the deposit.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company evaluated the collectability. In evaluating the collectability, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, payment history and the third party’s current credit-worthiness. The balance of $40,000 was written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.

Revenue recognition

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) and other associated standards. Under the new standard, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised services or goods in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The Company evaluated the new guidance and its adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements and a cumulative effect adjustment under the modified retrospective method of adoption was not necessary. There is no change to the Company’s accounting policies. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-09, the Company recognized revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement existed, delivery occurred, the fee was fixed or determinable, and collectability was reasonably assured.

In general, the Company applies the following steps when recognizing revenue from contracts with customers: (i) identify the contract, (ii) identify the performance obligations, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and (v) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. The nature of the Company’s contracts with customers relates to the Company’s services performed for a related party under a General Service Agreement (“GSA”). There are multiple services provided under the GSA and these performance obligations are combined into a single unit of accounting. Fees are recognized as revenue when the services are completed under the terms of the GSA. Revenue is recorded at gross as the Company is deemed to be a principal in the transactions.

NOTE 3 –  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Income taxes

The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 because the estimated annual effective tax rate was zero. As of June 30, 2019, the Company continues to provide a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets since the Company believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Reclassifications

The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in order to be consistent with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported results of operations.

Per share data

ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

Basic net earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities were exercised or converted into common stock or other contracts to issue common stock resulting in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the Company’s earnings subject to anti-dilution limitations. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have an anti-dilutive impact. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, potentially dilutive common shares consist of common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series A preferred stock (using the if-converted method) and the exercise of common stock options (using the treasury stock method).

The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted net (loss) income per share computations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

Per share data (continued)

Diluted net income (loss) per share

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, a total of 1,250,000 shares of common stock from the assumed redemption of the Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock at the contractual floor of $0.20 per share have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2018, a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock from the assumed redemption of the Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock at the contractual floor of $0.20 per share have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU addresses the classification of certain specific cash flow issues including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of certain debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of certain insurance claims and distributions received from equity method investees. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The ASU clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or business. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. The guidance clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Entities will apply the modification accounting guidance if the value, vesting conditions or classification of the award changes. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 –  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recently issued accounting pronouncements (continued)

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU No. 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance also specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (quarter ending September 30, 2019 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company will evaluate the effects of adopting ASU 2018-07 if and when it is deemed to be applicable.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
