Our conversion initiatives facilitate the involvement of more of the “right customers” with the brands of our clients. Our programs can take on various forms, including creating and managing digital content, designing campaign websites/landing pages, social media and viral campaigns, mobile marketing initiatives, and brand communications.

Industry Background and Trends

 

We believe that the communications industry is going through a revolutionary evolution. Technology and big data are combining with creative and strategy across new platforms and communications. Things are moving quickly and Involvement Marketing is an opportunity for brands to reach their constituencies through a plethora of new ways to communicate with its key constituencies in ways that get them to take action. It is essential to understand target audiences and how they are consuming information. Creating brand preference and getting consumers to take an action is essential in growing share for a brand and will continue to be essential in 2023 and beyond.

 

Brands are expected to bring projects in-house or outsource to smaller digital agencies, and a definitive shift in brands choosing to bring creative projects in-house for more control over budgets and resources was seen in 2016. The other trend saw brands cutting ties with bigger agencies and outsourcing work to smaller digital agencies which could deliver more specialized campaigns. It was predicted that in 2017, brands would continue to move away from larger agencies that have in the past offered a one-stop-shop for their advertising needs. With tighter budgets, brands are seeing the cost-effectiveness of having their own studio team and paying salaries versus project-based fees. Likewise, outsourcing to specialized digital outfits for lower, one-off fees is proving more financially sound for brands.

 

The industry will ramp up its use of digital marketing and advertising tools to streamline marketing workflow. As brands and ad agencies continue to leverage multiple channels to capture new audiences, eliminating tedious administrative tasks is high on the agenda. With digital tools, marketers and creatives are managing approval workflow and resources with greater ease and transparency allowing them to stay on top of heavy workloads and multiple projects. Some of the digital tools that the industry is moving towards are:

 

 

·

marketing approval workflow software;

 

 

 

 

·

agency approval workflow software;

 

 

 

 

·

project management software;

 

 

 

 

·

social marketing tools and software;

 

 

 

 

·

online proofing tools; and

 

 

 

 

·

resource management software.

 

Not only do these tools cut out time-consuming administration, but they offer greater control and visibility over managing marketing projects as well as streamline marketing workflow.

 

More brands and ad agencies will move towards an agile methodology to enable them to be more flexible in responding to a rapidly changing marketplace. Agile project management was developed as an alternative to the hierarchical project management model, which favors processes and documentation, and longer-term development projection. Agile methodologies, on the other hand, utilize a self-organized team model with greater flexibility in scope, face-to-face collaboration and incremental planning to deliver projects on time and on budget. Experts are expecting to see more marketers and creatives to go agile to remain competitive.

 

To mitigate the risk of brands being called out by regulatory bodies for illegal or unethical practices and tarnishing the brand reputation, more brands will toe the line because their bottom line depends on it. With that said, marketing compliance will be high on the agenda again this year with marketers having to stay on top of compliance issues to mitigate the risk of regulatory violations. Digital tools that enable brands to audit their project work will go a long way in helping businesses to manage their market compliance.

 

While every brand and ad agency needs highly skilled individuals on board, there will be a return to focus on teams to propel businesses forward. Rather than focusing on individuals, it is believed that agency ROI’s could benefit by nurturing teams and their skillsets, setting processes that ease heavy workloads, delegating tasks evenly and ensuring morale remains positive. Experts are also warning that departments need to stop working in silos and implement processes and tools that offer greater transparency over the entire business.

Experts are also predicting a greater prevalence in native advertising. With ad blocking on the rise, brands need to stay visible in a way that doesn’t interrupt the online user experience. Native advertising is a paid advertising placement that is blended seamlessly into a platform’s content so that it doesn’t interrupt the readers flow. The increasing importance of video is also being heralded. Reports indicate a video can achieve customer conversion rates of up to 60%. The video medium is enjoyable, easy to access and requires little effort for engagement. Live streaming is also providing customers a real time brand experience enabling brands to capitalize on a new revenue stream. Being “mobile friendly” is also important as growing trends indicate that brands have to wedge themselves firmly in the mobile space to stay relevant.

 

Competitive Strengths

 

Since our inception, we have worked diligently to establish and leverage key strengths in our business model, including:

 

A culture of innovation and creativity. We believe the only way to survive and thrive in our rapidly changing world is to change ahead of it. We are in a state of constant evolution and re-invention. We have created a culture committed to innovation and creativity that challenges convention and breaks new ground. Our team members are protective and proud of our culture by applying its “humble, yet hungry” attitude to all facets of our business. Our people and their innovations ultimately provide us with our largest competitive advantage. For example:

 

 

·

First-user generated content campaign for UPS;

 

 

 

 

·

First YouTube Influencer marketing campaign for The Home Depot and Citi;

 

 

 

 

·

First YouTube Influencer Campaign for ExxonMobil; and

 

 

 

 

·

First omni-channel shopping journey studies for Macy’s, Best Buy, and Staples.

 

Exploitation of Technologic Innovations and Social Marketing Importance

 

Our success lies, in part, to our understanding of new technologies especially in the social marketing space, augmented reality, image recognition, virtual reality and the ability to leverage these technologies in ways that we believe achieve and exceed our clients’ objectives.

 

Experienced management team and advisors

 

Our management team not only includes highly experienced entrepreneurs and executives from the digital media, technology and entertainment industries, but also outstanding strategic and creative advisors who are experts in social media and integrated marketing campaigns. See “Management” for details.

 

Our Growth Strategy

 

After more than 35 years of experience by management in delivering innovative involvement marketing campaigns, including more than ten years since our formation in January 2012, we believe our business model is market tested and poised for growth. While executing on our business strategy, we believe we have assembled a diverse and experienced team of senior managers, account executives and creative and analytical directors; developed and executed on involvement marketing campaigns which we believe have added value to our clients; and created our own brand-recognition in the marketing service agency industry. Key elements of our strategy to accelerate revenue growth and continue penetration of the marketplace include:

 

Organic Growth

 

We seek to work with one of the top three brands in almost every industry with focus on Restaurants, Packaged Goods, Retail, Pharma/OTC, Fuel, Automotive, Healthcare, Grocery/Convenience, and Entertainment. We will continue to use a mix of digital, social, public relations, and personal outreach to facilitate our organic growth.

Contracts and Material Relationships

 

In the normal course of business, we have entered and will continue to enter into development, licensing and royalty agreements. In addition, we have certain customers that represent a significant component of our revenue. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, there were three clients individually representing 10% or more of our total revenues. Total estimated project revenue for services provided by Mastermind personnel for these clients for the year ended September 30, 2022, was $2,849,194. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, there were three clients individually representing 10% or more of our total revenues. Total estimated project revenue for services provided by Mastermind personnel for these clients for the year ended September 30, 2021, was $2,755,410.

  

Government Regulation

 

We are subject to a number of U.S. federal and state and foreign laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the Internet. These laws and regulations may involve privacy, data security, advertising, rights of publicity, data protection, content regulation, intellectual property, competition, protection of minors, consumer protection, taxation or other subjects. Many of these laws and regulations are still evolving and being tested in courts and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. As a result, the application, interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations are often uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly evolving industry in which we operate and may be interpreted and applied inconsistently from country to country and inconsistently with our current policies and practices.

 

We are also subject to federal, state and foreign laws regarding privacy and the protection of user data. Foreign data protection, privacy, consumer protection, content regulation and other laws and regulations are often more restrictive than those in the United States. There are also potential federal legislative proposals and various state legislative bodies and foreign governments concerning data protection, tracking, behavioral advertising and consumer protection that could affect us.

 

In recent years, social media companies, to resolve investigations into various incidents, have entered into settlement agreements and consent decrees with the Federal Trade Commission that, among other things, require them to establish an information security program designed to protect non-public consumer information and also require that they obtain periodic independent security assessments. Violation of any regulatory orders, settlements, or consent decrees into which we may be required to enter could subject us to substantial monetary fines and other penalties that could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Backlog

 

Our backlog in the ordinary course of business was approximately $3,115,366 at September 30, 2022.

 

Employees

 

As of September 30, 2022, we had 24 contract and full-time employees at our leased facility in Atlanta, Georgia. None of these employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and management considers its relations with its employees to be good.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

 

None.

 

Item 2. Properties

 

We do not own any properties. We lease our corporate facility in Atlanta, Georgia pursuant to a commercial lease agreement (the “Lease”) with 1450 West Peachtree, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Landlord”). The manager of the Landlord is also our chief executive officer. We believe our current leased facility space is adequate for our near-term needs.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2022, the Company gave notice to our landlord for our leased office space to terminate the agreement as of December 31, 2022 with no payments due thereafter. The landlord agreed to the termination of the lease with no penalties and no additional payments required. The Company has adopted a fully remote work environment and no replacement office space is planned for.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

On February 11, 2022, a Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial (the “Complaint”) was filed by a plaintiff (the “Plaintiff”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The Complaint named Mastermind, Inc. (“the Company”) and Daniel Dodson, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, (the “CEO”). The Company and the CEO are collectively referred to herein as “Defendants”. The Complaint includes alleged breach of contract and alleged breach of implied contract by the Defendants related to the Plaintiff’s allegations that he was entitled to 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company from the reverse merger transaction completed on February 14, 2018. The Defendants successfully got the Complaint transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The Defendants will contest the complaint and strongly believe they will prevail.

 

Other than the above we are not a party to any other legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, which we believe will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Item 5. Market Information for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Market under the symbol “MMND”. There is very limited trading of our common stock. The stock market in general has experienced significant stock price fluctuations in the past few years. In some cases, these fluctuations have been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. Many companies have experienced dramatic volatility in the market prices of their common stock. We believe that a number of factors, both within and outside our control, could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially. Factors such as the following could have a significant adverse impact on the market price of our common stock:

 

 

·

Overview

 

Our company was formed on January 1, 2012, by MM Inc. the Founding Member, through a contribution of assets. The organization, as governed by the Written Operating Agreement dated January 1, 2012, was formed for the purpose of engaging in the business of conceiving, developing, selling, marketing, implementing and/or otherwise providing services, systems, platforms and products in the areas of mobile, social, digital and traditional marketing to and for businesses and organizations, and conducting services and functions incidental to the operation of such business. Effective January 1, 2017 and March 1, 2017, we granted a thirty percent (30%) and ten percent (10%) interest to Villanta and Digital Advize, respectively, in consideration of services to be provided to us.

 

We are an involvement marketing service agency, whose mission is to become one of the most well-respected marketing service agencies in the industry capable of involving people with Fortune 500 brands that designs, creates and develops branding and marketing campaigns, primarily for large corporate clients with category-leading brands.

Critical Accounting Policies

Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates contained in our financial statements.

Revenues

 

Revenues for the year ended September 30, 2022 were $4,540,060 as compared with $3,827,721 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $712,339 or 19%. The increase is primarily attributable to post pandemic rebound of client projects that had previously been delayed, the timing of project work being completed, and also the revenue being recognized for direct expenses (media, influencer fees, etc.) attributable to jobs. These fluctuations in work accomplished and revenue being recognized for direct expenses are normal occurrences in our business.

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit for the year ended September 30, 2022 was $3,005,662 or 66% of revenues, compared with $2,329,196 or 61% of revenues, for the comparable prior year period. The increase in gross profit dollars was a result of higher revenues, including higher gross margins in the current period. The increase in gross margin percentage is primarily a result of the Company having more projects with lower direct expenses in the year ended September 30, 2022, compared to same period of last year. Direct cost includes expenses for media, sponsorship fees, etc. Gross margin will fluctuate from year to year based on the types of work assigned to the Company by its clients.

Total operating expenses for the year ended September 30, 2022 were $2,267,369 as compared with $2,344,601 for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $77,232 or 3%. The decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in wages and benefits of $285,854, as a result of increases of in-house versus external work, along with decreases in other general and administrative costs of $114,000, offsetting by increases in management consulting fees of $130,500, and increases in professional fees (including public company expenses) of $192,122 primarily due to a new litigation occurred in fiscal year 2022.

Provision for income tax for the year ended September 30, 2022 was $51,271 as compared to an income tax benefit of $528 for the comparable prior year period.

During the year ended September 30, 2022, $675,605 was provided by operating activities as compared with net cash used in operating activities of $195,223 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, management consulting 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. Net cash flows from operating activities for the current year were a result of the net income after tax of $688,719, depreciation expense of $23,144, change of deferred tax of $78,531, offset by stock compensation expense reversal of $13,500, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $101,289.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2021, we used $195,223 in operating activities, which were a result of the net income after tax of $767,268, stock compensation expense of $77,000 and depreciation expense of $21,722, offset by the gains on the PPP loan forgiveness of $780,288, change of deferred tax of $1,278 and changes in current assets and liabilities of $279,647.

 

During the years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, net cash used in investing activities were $15,653 and $15,389, respectively, and were a result of the purchase of computers and office equipment.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Company did not have any cash flow activity from financing activities and September 30, 2021, we received $478,538 related to amounts received under the Paycheck Protection Program.

 

The ability to attract additional capital investments for more rapid expansion 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 service product introductions and enhancements to existing services/products, and the opportunities to acquire complimentary businesses that may be made available to us from time-to-time. We believe that as of September 30, 2022, our cash position and cash flows from our operations will be sufficient to fund our working capital and planned strategic activities, excluding acquisitions, if any, 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.

 

The ongoing pandemic related issues from the coronavirus could adversely impact our liquidity and capital resources, especially if our customers are negatively impacted by the decrease in economic activity caused by the virus. If our customers fail to reach budgeted revenue projections and reduce their expenditures proportionally, we could experience lower than expected growth in revenue or lower overall revenue. We could also experience delays or declines in revenue and new business and implementations of marketing campaigns if customers or potential customers delay or cancel their plans due to the economic slowdown caused by the virus. Additionally, our operations could be impacted, and we could experience higher costs if, despite our mitigation and prevention efforts, the virus spread prevents affected employees from performing key duties.

 

This annual report on Form 10-K contains certain statements that are “forward-looking” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Litigation Reform Act”). These forward-looking statements and other information are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by us using information currently available.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2022, 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 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

The certificates of our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer attached as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K include, in paragraph 4 of such certifications, information concerning our disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting. Such certifications should be read in conjunction with the information contained in this Item 9A for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by such certifications.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

As required by the SEC rules and regulations for the implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our consolidated financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at September 30, 2022. In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (COSO).

 

Based on our assessments and those criteria and 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 September 30, 2022, 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.

 

Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, 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.

 

This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

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.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based solely on a review of copies of such forms submitted to us, we believe that all persons subject to the requirements of Section 16(a) filed such reports on a timely basis in fiscal 2022.

 

Corporate Governance and Guidelines

 

Our Board of Directors has long believed that good corporate governance is important to ensure that we manage our company for the long-term benefit of stockholders.

The Company intends to implement internal corporate governance guidelines and practices, and will make such guidelines and practices available on its website at www.mastermindmarketing.com, when implemented as working capital allows.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

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 majority shareholders and its chief executive officer is Daniel A. Dodson, 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 $2,100,000 over the calendar years from 2019 through 2039 with no further payments required after December 31, 2039. The Company has recorded expenses of $60,000 and $60,000 for the years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively (Note 5).

 

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. 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. The monthly rent terms of the Lease have been altered by the landlord due to another tenant occupying space the Company verbally agreed to allow the landlord to remove from the space available to the Company. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, we made lease payments of $154,267 and $120,000, respectively, in satisfaction of our obligation pursuant to the Lease (Note 8). Subsequent to September 30, 2022, the Company and the landlord agreed to terminate the lease agreement as of December 31, 2022 with no penalties or additional payments required (Note 12).

 

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, we made payments to our three members pursuant to the terms of our operating agreement, as amended, for services rendered to us. The Company recorded expenses to our three members during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 aggregating $875,165 and $741,687, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, we owed $0 and $100,000 to our three majority stockholders for consulting services which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, related parties on the consolidated balance sheets herein. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the $100,000 owed as of September 30, 2021 was paid in full.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Mastermind, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mastermind, Inc. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Critical Audit Matter Description

 

As disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company follow ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) with regards to its revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company makes judgements and estimates based on the amount of time and billings relating to each contract, as it relates to the total estimated time to complete the contract. Revenues are primarily generated from the Company's 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 the balance sheet until the earnings process has been completed and revenue is then recognized. Similarly, advanced services are recorded as unbilled receivables on the balance sheet when the earnings process has been completed and revenue is recognized before related invoices have been issued to customers. In all cases, the Company evaluates 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 in accordance with ASU 2014-09

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

 

After obtaining an understanding of the Company’s revenue recognition policy, we selected a sample of revenue contracts. Our audit procedures included, among other things, a review of the agreement to see if it meets the definition of a contract and how the Company evaluated the performance obligation and testing of how the Company recorded the obligations. We tested the determination of the transaction price and how the Company recorded the revenue based on the deliverables defined in the contract, including the timing of recording revenue and the calculation of the amounts recorded. We also verified the timing of billing and cash receipts to corroborate accounts receivable and deferred revenue for each transaction.

Mastermind, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. 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 content marketing, influencer marketing, social marketing/community management, digital issues management promotions, Augmented Reality Marketing, and UX Analytics & Digital Intelligence.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Accounting Principles

 

The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

 

Use of Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash includes cash on hand. Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments, with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less for which the risk of changes in value is considered to be insignificant.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

We perform various analyses to evaluate accounts receivable balances and specifically identify those accounts which may present them as a risk with respect to collectability of the accounts such that the amounts would reflect estimated net realizable value. Account balances are charged off after significant collection efforts have been made and potential for recovery is not considered probable. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we did not record any bad debts. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, we evaluated our accounts receivables and determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts was not required.

 

Unbilled Receivables

 

We perform various analyses to evaluate work performed that will give us future billings rights under current contracts with customers on jobs in progress. Under our revenue recognition policy and proportional revenue recognition, we recognize advanced services based on the buildup of cost related to these jobs in progress as unbilled receivables on our balance sheet when the earnings process has been completed and revenue is recognized before related invoices have been issued to our customers.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated life of the lease at the time the improvement is put into service. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. 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. Similarly, advanced services are recorded as unbilled receivables on our balance sheet when the earnings process has been completed and revenue is recognized before related invoices have been issued to our customers. 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 Topic 606. Topic 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.

  

The Company recognizes revenues based on the following steps:

 

 

 

1.

contract with customer has been identified

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

performance obligations of the company have been identified

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.

a transaction price has been determined

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.

the price has been allocated appropriately to the performance obligations

 

 

 

 

 

 

5.

performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We follow Accounting Standards Codification 820-10 (“ASC 820-10”), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” for fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on an exit price, which is 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. The standard also prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity specific information and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

 

The hierarchy established under ASC 820-10 gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:

 

Level 1 - Pricing inputs are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. As required by ASC 820-10, we do not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where we hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

 

Level 2 - Pricing inputs are quoted prices for similar investments, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 includes investments valued at quoted prices adjusted for legal or contractual restrictions specific to these investments.

 

Level 3 - Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment, that is, inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Level 3 includes investments that are supported by little or no market activity.

 

Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases under ASC 842, “Leases”. The Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Our assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset. We allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.

 

Operating lease Right-of-use assets represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used an incremental borrowing rate of 5.5%, based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Operating lease expense is recognized pursuant to a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in rent in the consolidated statements of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.” For assets that are to be held and used, impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, there has not been any impairment of long-lived assets.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. 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 are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The valuation of employee stock options is an inherently subjective process, since market values are generally not available for long-term, non-transferable employee stock options. Accordingly, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized to derive an estimated fair value. The Black-Scholes pricing model requires the consideration of the following six variables for purposes of estimating fair value:

 

 

 

·

the stock option exercise price;

 

 

 

 

 

 

·

the expected term of the option;

 

 

 

 

 

 

·

the grant date price of our common stock, which is issuable upon exercise of the option;

 

 

 

 

 

 

·

the expected volatility of our common stock;

 

 

 

 

 

 

·

the expected dividends on our common stock (we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future); and

 

 

 

 

 

 

·

the risk free interest rate for the expected option term.

 

Expected Dividends. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on any of our capital stock and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we use an expected dividend yield of zero to calculate the grant-date fair value of a stock option.

 

Expected Volatility. The expected volatility is a measure of the amount by which our stock price is expected to fluctuate during the expected term of options granted. We determine the expected volatility solely based upon the historical volatility of our common stock over a period commensurate with the option’s expected term. We do not believe that the future volatility of our common stock over an option’s expected term is likely to differ significantly from the past.

 

Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the option’s expected term on the grant date.

 

Expected Term. For option grants subsequent to the adoption of the fair value recognition provisions of the accounting standards, the expected life of stock options granted is based on the actual vesting date and the end of the contractual term.

 

Stock Option Exercise Price and Grant Date Price of Common Stock. The closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant.

We are required to estimate the level of award forfeitures expected to occur and record compensation expense only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest. This requirement applies to all awards that are not yet vested. Due to the limited number of unvested options outstanding, the majority of which are held by executives and members of our Board of Directors, we have estimated a zero forfeiture rate. We will revisit this assumption periodically and as changes in the composition of the option pool dictate.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and as if converted method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options.

 

For the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the following common stock equivalents were potentially dilutive.

Related Party Balances and Transactions

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transaction. See Note 3 for additional information.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.

 

3. 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 $2,100,000 over the calendar years from 2019 through 2039 with no further payments required after December 31, 2039. The Company has recorded expenses related to the license of $60,000 and $60,000 for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively (Note 5).

 

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. 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. The monthly rent terms of the lease have been altered by the landlord due to another tenant occupying space the Company verbally agreed to allow the landlord to remove from the space available to the Company. During the years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, we made lease payments of $154,267 and $120,000, respectively, in satisfaction of our obligation pursuant to the Lease (Note 8). Subsequent to September 30, 2022, the Company and the landlord agreed to terminate the lease agreement as of December 31, 2022 with no penalties or additional payments required (Note 12).

 

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, we made payments to our three members pursuant to the terms of our operating agreement, as amended, for services rendered to us. The Company recorded expenses to our three members during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 aggregating $875,165 and $741,687, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, we owed $0 and $100,000 to our three majority stockholders for consulting services which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, related parties on the consolidated balance sheets herein. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the $100,000 owed as of September 30, 2021 was paid in full.

7. Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets and Operating Lease Liabilities

 

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value is our incremental borrowing rate, estimated to be 5.5%, as the interest rate implicit in our lease is not readily determinable. Operating lease expense is recognized pursuant to ASC Topic 842 Leases (Topic 842) over the lease term. During the years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company recorded rent expense of $154,267 and $239,273, respectively.

 

In adopting Topic 842, the Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter is not applicable to the Company. In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 month or less. During the year ended September 30, 2020, upon adoption of ASC Topic 842 for the 10-year commercial lease with 1450 West Peachtree, LLC for our leased office space, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $461,740.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Lease

 

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. 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. The monthly rent terms of the lease have been altered by the landlord due to another tenant occupying space the Company verbally agreed to allow the landlord to remove from the space available to the Company. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, we made lease payments of $154,267 and $120,000, respectively, in satisfaction of our obligation pursuant to the Lease.

 

The Lease provides for the following total lease commitments pursuant to the Lease and we have also provided our expected portion of the lease commitments based on the updated verbal agreement with the landlord (without consideration of early termination of the Lease in the subsequent period as discussed below):

Litigation

 

On February 11, 2022, a Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial (the “Complaint”) was filed by a plaintiff (the “Plaintiff”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The Complaint named Mastermind, Inc. (“the Company”) and Daniel Dodson, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, (the “CEO”). The Company and the CEO are collectively referred to herein as “Defendants”. The Complaint includes alleged breach of contract and alleged breach of implied contract by the Defendants related to the Plaintiff’s allegations that he was entitled to 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company from the reverse merger transaction completed on February 14, 2018. The Defendants successfully got the Complaint transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The Defendants will contest the complaint and believe they will prevail.

 

Other than the above we are not a party to any other legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, which we believe will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

9. 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.

 

There were no unrecognized material tax benefits at September 30, 2022, and 2021. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. There were no accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the periods presented. We have determined we have no uncertain tax positions.

 

Tax returns are subject to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities for generally three years after filed. There are no income tax examinations currently in process.

 

Reconciliation between our effective tax rate and the United States statutory rate is as follows for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

The Company files it’s income tax returns on the cash basis of accounting utilizing a December 31 tax year end. Deferred tax assets relating to current liabilities result from accounts payable and accrued expenses which are not currently deductible for tax purposes. Deferred tax liabilities relating to current assets result from accounts receivables and prepaid expenses which are not currently recognized as income for tax reporting purposes.

 

As of September 30, 2022, the Company has no net operating loss carryforwards that are available to offset future taxable income. 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.

We have estimated our provision for income taxes in accordance with the Tax Act and guidance available as of the date of this filing.
