SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this Form 10-Q are "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company's plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance the forward-looking statements included in this report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.

The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q and referred to elsewhere are related to future events or our strategies or future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "believe," "anticipate," "future," "potential," "estimate," "encourage," "opportunity," "growth," "leader," "expect," "intend," "plan," "expand," "focus," "through," "strategy," "provide," "offer," "allow," commitment," "implement," "result," "increase," "establish," "perform," "make," "continue," "can," "ongoing," "include" or the negative of such terms or comparable terminology. All forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are based on information available to us as of the filing date of this report, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Our actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

Important factors that might cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements are contained in the “Risk Factors” section of and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations describes the principal factors affecting the results of operations, liquidity and capital resources of the Company and critical accounting estimates. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying quarterly unaudited Condensed Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended September 30, 2019 (“Annual Report”). Our Annual Report includes additional information about our significant accounting policies, practices and the transactions that underlie our financial results, as well as a detailed discussion of the most significant risks and uncertainties associated with our financial and operating results.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Reason for this Amendment

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (the “Amendment”) amends the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (the “Quarterly Report”) of Alternative Investment Corporation (the “Company”), as originally filed (the “Original Filing”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 6, 2020 to add the following disclosure regarding reliance by the Company on the SEC Order issued March 25, 2020 pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), granting exemptions from specified provisions of the Exchange Act and certain rules thereunder (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”).

This Amendment is being filed to include the disclosure below in accordance with the Order, which was inadvertently omitted from the Original Filing.

Reliance on SEC Relief from Filing Requirements

The Company filed the Original Filing in reliance on the Order, permitting the delay in filing due to circumstances related to COVID-19. The Company filed, on May 14, 2020, a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) indicating its intention to rely on the Order. As stated in the Form 8-K, there has been a very real and tangible impact on the Company’s ability to file on time. The Company’s office remains effectively closed and inaccessible due to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s “New York on PAUSE” executive order (“Government Emergency Order”), making use of the office as intended impossible as of March 22, 2020. The Company has been unable to maintain up to date banking, bookkeeping and accounting operations. As a result, the Company was unable to gather all of the documents it requires to timely file the Quarterly Report in an appropriate fashion which will adequately and accurately present the Company’s financial position in a way protective of its shareholders and investors.

In accordance with Rules 12b-15 and 13a-14 under the Exchange Act, the Company has also amended Part IV, Item 15 to include currently dated certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 from the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment, and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. Similarly, because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment, certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been omitted.

Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend, modify or update the information in, or exhibits to, the Original Filing, and we have not updated disclosures included therein to reflect any subsequent developments or events. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and with our other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.
