Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “aim,” “will,” “would,” “could,” and similar expressions or phrases identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operation, business strategy and financial needs.

 

You should read thoroughly this report and the documents that we refer to herein with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and/or worse than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements including those made in this report, in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors also appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Some examples of risk factors which may affect our business are as follows:

 

 our lack of significant revenues, positive cash flow and history of losses,
   
 market acceptance of our products;products and competition;
   
 our ability to attract and retain customers for existing and new products;

 our ability to effectively maintain and update our technology and product and service portfolio;

 our reliance on third party software and developers;

 breaches of network or IT security and presentation attacks;

 our ability to hire and retain key personnel and additional talent;
   
 our ability to raise capital under acceptable terms;
   
 our ability to maintain listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market;

 general economic conditions, inflation and access to capital.

 

Other sections of this report include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the Federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which we considered as necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20222023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or the full year.

 

Effective July 18, 2022, the Company changed its name to authID Inc.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of authID Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries MultiPay S.A.S., IDGS S.A.S., ID Solutions, Inc., FIN Holdings Inc., Ipsidy Enterprises Limited Cards Plus Pty Ltd. and authID Gaming Inc. (collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On August 29, 2022 the Company executed and completed the sale of the Cards Plus business. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Cards Plus Pty Ltd., MultiPay S.A.S., and IDGS S.A.S assets are presented as assets held for sale on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and their operations presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as they met the criteria for discontinued operations under applicable accounting guidance. See Discontinued Operations Note 9 for details.

Going Concern

 

As of September 30, 2022,2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $134$156.3 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 20222023, the Company earned revenue from continuing operations of approximately $0.03$0.04 million and $0.3$0.12 million, respectivelyused approximately $2.1 million and $6.2 million to fund its operations, and incurred losses from operationsa net loss of approximately $4.1$3.7 million and $11.4 million respectively, excluding the stock-based compensation expenses of $2.2 million and $6.7$16.2 million, respectively.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared onThe continuation of the Company as a going concern basis, which impliesis dependent upon financial support from the Company’s stockholders and noteholders, the ability of the Company willto obtain additional debt or equity financing to continue operations, the Company’s ability to meet its obligationsgenerate sufficient cash flows from operations, successfully locating and continue its operationsnegotiating with other business entities for the next fiscal year.potential acquisition, and acquiring new clients to generate revenues and cash flows.

 

In March 2022,During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has secured additional financing of approximately $6.4 million net, which management believes will provide adequateprovides funding for its current operations as it continues to invest in its product, people, and technology. TheAlthough there is no guarantee, the Company may need additional capitalprojects that the investments will lead to revenue expansion thereby reducing liquidity needs. However, in the future but currently believes it has sufficient fundsorder to operatefurther implement its business through December 31, 2023. See Notes 5, 6plan and 8.satisfy its working capital requirements, the Company will need to raise additional capital. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, if at all.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve positive cash flows (become cash flow positive) and raise sufficient capital to maintain operations, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Reclassification

 

Certain prior year expenses have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported results of operations.loss from continuing operations and management does not believe that this reclassification is material to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Specifically, we reclassified certain expenses from general and administrative expenses to research and development expenses.


 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible notes and stock warrants, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options, warrants and conversion of convertible notes. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20222023 and 20212022 because their effect was antidilutive:

  13,753,422   10,853,293   2,181,866   1,700,435 

Revenue Recognition

Starting in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company separately reports Verified software license revenue from Legacy authentication services revenue. Prior periods revenues are recast accordingly for comparison purposes.

Software LicenseThe Company recognizes revenue based on the identified performance obligations over the performance period for fixed consideration and/and / or for variable fees generated that are earned on a usage fee earnedbased over time based on user monthly user or transaction or user volumes and/or on a monthly flat fee rate. We allocate the selling price in a contract which has multiple performance obligations based on the contract selling price that we believe represents a fair market price for the service rendered based on estimated standalone selling price.

The Company had a contract liabilityliabilities of approximately $97,000$103,000 and $199,000$81,000 as of September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022 respectively for certain revenue that will be earned in future periods. Of the $97,000 ofAll deferred revenue contract liabilityliabilities as of September 30, 2022, the majority will2023 are expected to be earned duringover the balancenext twelve months.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of 2022.September 30, 2023, the Company’s Remaining Performance Obligation (RPO) was $1.87 million, of which $0.10 million is held as deferred revenue and $1.77 million is related to other non-cancelable contracted amounts. The majorityCompany expects approximately 34% of the deferred revenue contract liabilityRPO to be recognized as of December 31, 2021 related to legacy services and was recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2022. All contracts are reviewed for their respective performance obligations and related revenue and expense recognition implications. Certain of the revenues are derived from Verified software licenses that could include multiple performance obligations. A performance obligation is defined as a promise to provide a “distinct” good or service to a customer. The Company has determined that one possible treatment under U.S. GAAP is that these services will represent a stand-ready series of distinct daily services that are substantially the same, with the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Further, the Company has determined that the performance obligation to provide account access and facilitate transactions should meet the criteria for the “as invoiced” practical expedient, in that the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. As a result, the Company anticipates it may recognize revenue in the twelve months ending September 30, 2024 based on contractual commitments and expected usage patterns. However, the amount toand timing of revenue recognition are generally dependent upon customers’ future consumption, which is inherently variable at customers’ discretion. Furthermore, the Company does not have historical information to estimate the recognition of revenue due to its current operations and has a right to invoice,approximated such amount based on completed performance atdiscussions with the relevant date. Additionally,contracted parties.

Deferred Contract Costs – We defer the contracts could include implementation services, or support on an “as needed” basisportion of sales commission that is considered a cost of obtaining a new contract with a customer and amortize these deferred costs over the period of benefit. We expense the remaining sales commissions as incurred. The following table summarizes deferred contract cost activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

  Deferred 
  Contract Costs 
    
Carrying Value at December 31, 2022 $- 
Additions  66,300 
Amortization  - 
Carrying Value at September 30, 2023 $66,300 

Legacy Authentication Services – The Company historically has sold certain legacy software licenses to customers and revenue is recognized when delivery occurs, and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

The Company will capitalizeadopted the incremental costs of acquiring and fulfilling a contract with a customer if the Company expects to recover those costs.

The amortization of contract fulfillment cost assets associated with facilitating transactions will be recorded as cost of services in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Reverse Split became effective on July 7, 2023 (see Note 11 “Subsequent Event”). As a result of the Reverse Split, every eight shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock automatically converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share, and began trading on a post-split basis under the Company’s existing trading symbol, “AUID”, when the market opened on July 10, 2023. The Reverse Split affected all holders of common stock uniformly and did not affect any common stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except for de minimis changes as a result of the elimination of fractional shares. A total of 62,816,330 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split, and 7,874,962 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding immediately after the Reverse Split. No fractional shares will be outstanding following the Reverse Split. Any holder who would have received a fractional share of common stock received an additional fraction of a share of common stock to round up their holding to the next whole share. In addition, effective as of the Reverse Split, proportionate adjustments were made to all then-outstanding options and warrants with respect to the number of shares of common stock subject to such options or warrants and the exercise prices thereof, as well as to the conversion price under the remaining Convertible Notes.

In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 99 and 108 (“SAB 99” and “SAB 108”), the Company evaluated this error and concluded that although the adjustment to certain areas of the statement of operations was quantitatively material, the cumulative effects were qualitatively immaterial and would not have materially impacted a reasonable investor’s opinion of the Company. This is further supported by the fact that the impact would not have been significant in comparison to prior periods and all errors are of a non-cash nature. Therefore, as permitted by SAB 108 and treated under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, the Company revised previously recorded results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 2023, to account for the prior period error in this current filing.

As a result, the statement of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 reflects the revised expenses, loss from continuing operations and net loss.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

authID Inc. is a leading provider of secure, authentication solutions delivered by our easy to integrate Verified platform. Our Verified platform that delivers Human Factor AuthenticationTM, binds strong passwordless authentication with biometric identity, which offers our customers a streamlined path to zero trust architecture. Verified FIDO2 passwordless authentication is certified by the FIDO Alliance to be compliant and interoperable with FIDO specifications.

 

The explosive growth in online and mobile commerce, telemedicine, remote working and digital activities of all descriptions is self-evident to everyone who lived through the Covid 19 pandemic since 2020. Identity theft, phishing attacks, spear-phishing, password vulnerabilities, account takeovers, benefits fraud - it seems like these words have entered our daily lexicon overnight. These are significant impediments to the operations and growth of any business or organization, and dealing with the risks and consequences of these criminal activities has created significant friction in both time, cost and lost opportunity. Consider all the outdated methods that organizations have implemented in order to prevent fraud. The requests to receive and enter one-time passwords, that can be easily hijacked. The vulnerable security questions you get asked – whether on-line or when reaching out to a call center – what was your first pet’s name? who was your best friend in high school? These steps all add up to friction, making it difficult for consumers to login, transact and execute daily tasks, with little added protection from fraud. Surely there is a better way to address these challenges? authID.aiauthID believes there is.

 

authID provides secure, facial biometric, identity verification, and strong customer authentication. We maintain a global, cloud-based Verified platform for our enterprise customers or employees to enable their users or employees to easily verify and authenticate their identity through a mobile device or desktop (with camera) of their choosing (without requiring dedicated hardware, or authentication apps). We can help our customers establish a proven identity, creating a root of trust that ensures the highest level of assurance for our passwordless login and step-up verification products. Our system enables participants to consent to transactions using their biometric information with a digitally signed authentication response, embedding the underlying transaction data and each user’s identity attributes within every electronic transaction message processed through our platform.

 

Digital transformation across all market segments requires trusted identity. Our identity platform offers innovative solutions that are flexible, fast and easy to integrate and offer seamless user experiences. authID’s products help advance digital transformation efforts without the fear of identity fraud, while delivering frictionless user experiences. We believe that it is also essential that electronic transactions have an audit trail, proving that the identity of the individual was duly authenticated. Our platform provides biometric and multi-factor identity software, which are intended to establish, authenticate and verify identity across a wide range of use cases and electronic transactions.

 

authID’s products focus on the broad requirement for enabling frictionless commerce by allowing an entity to instantly “Recognise their Customer”“Know Who’s Behind the Device”, their Employeecustomer, employee or their Member.member. Organizations of all descriptions require cost-effective and secure means of growing their business while mitigating identity fraud. We aim to offer our enterprise customers products that can be integrated easily into each of their business and organizational operations, in order to facilitate their adoption and enhance the end user customer experience.

 

Our management believes that some of the advantages of our Verified Platform approach are the ability to leverage the platform to support a variety of vertical markets and the adaptability of the platform to the requirements of new markets and new products requiring cost-effective, secure, and configurable mobile solutions. Our target markets include cybersecurity, workforce, banking, fintech and other disrupters of traditional commerce, small and medium sized businesses, and system integrators working with government and Fortune 1000 enterprises. At its core, the Company’s offering, combining its proprietary and acquired biometric and artificial intelligence technologies (or AI), is intended to facilitate frictionless commerce, whether in the physical or digital world. The Company intends to increase its investment in developing, patenting and acquiring the various elements necessary to enhance the platform, which are intended to allow us to achieve our goals. One of the principal intended areas of investment is to enhance and expand our use of artificial intelligence in proprietary software, that we believe will increase our value to enterprise customers and stockholders alike.

 


 

 

authID is dedicated to developing advanced methods of protecting consumer privacy and deploying ethical and socially responsible AI. authID is developing a culture that proactively encourages and rewards our employees for considering the ethical implications of our products.AI.. We believe that a proactive commitment to ethical AI presents a strong business opportunity for authID and will enable us to bring more accurate products to market more quickly and with less risk to better serve our global user base. Our methods to achieve ethical AI include engaging the users of our products with informed consent, prioritizing the security of our user’s personal information, considering and avoiding potential bias in our algorithms, and monitoring of algorithm performance in our applications.

 

The Company also owned an entity in South Africa, Cards Plus and owns an entity in Colombia, MultiPay. On May 4, 2022, the Board approved a plan to exit from certain non-core activities comprising the MultiPay correspondent bank, payments services in Colombia and the CardCards Plus cards manufacturing and printing business in South Africa. On August 29, 2022 the Company completed the sale of Cards Plus business. On June 30, 2023, the Company completed the exit of the MultiPay business. See Discontinued Operations.

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 21, 2011 and changed our name to authID Inc. on July 18, 2022. In order to better align the branding of our Company with our future focus and goals on June 14, 2021 we changed our business name to “authID.ai”.

Colorado Blvd., Building Amain address is 1580 North Logan Street, Suite 322,660, Unit 51767, Denver, CO 8022280203 and our main phone number remains as is (516) 274-8700. We maintain a website at www.authID.ai. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our websites is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus and is intended for informational purposes only.

 

Going Concern

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report have been prepared in accordance with United States GAAP assuming the Company will continue on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next year following the issuance date of these financial statements.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $156.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company earned revenue of approximately $0.12 million, used $6.2 million to fund its operations, and incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $16.4 million. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from the Company’s stockholders and noteholders, the ability of the Company to obtain additional debt or equity financing to continue operations, the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, successfully locating and negotiating with other business entities for potential acquisition and /or acquiring new clients to generate revenues and cash flows.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has secured additional financing of approximately $6.4 million net, which provides funding for its current operations as it continues to invest in its product, people, and technology. Although there is no guarantee, the Company projects that the investments will lead to revenue expansion thereby reducing liquidity needs. However, in order to further implement its business plan and satisfy its working capital requirements, the Company will need to raise additional capital. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, if at all.

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve positive cash flows (become cash flow profitable) and raise sufficient capital to maintain operations, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


Adjusted EBITDA

 

This discussion includes information about Adjusted EBITDA that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure is included below.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (1) interest expense and debt discount and debt issuance costs amortization expense, (2) interest income, (3) provision for income taxes, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) stock-based compensation expense (stock optionsoptions) and restricted stock)(6) loss on debt extinguishment, and (6)conversion expense on exchange of Convertible Notes and certain other items management believes affect the comparability of operating results.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about our period-over-period results. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our company and our management, and it will be a focus as we invest in and grow the business.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 


Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not include the impact of certain charges or gains resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations.

 

Because of these limitations, adjustedAdjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as a supplement to our GAAP results.

Covid 19

 

Covid-19 emerged globally in December 2019, and it has been declared a pandemic. Covid-19 is still impacting customers, business, results and financial condition throughout the world. The Company’s day-to-day operations have been impacted differently depending on geographic location and services that are being performed. The Company cannot predict the potential impact of any future pandemics.

 

Recently we have seen our business opportunities develop more slowly as business partners and potential customers include Covid-19 considerations and working remotely can cause a delay in decision making and finalization of negotiations and agreements.

Ukraine and the Middle East

 

The ongoing war in Ukraine and the war recently commenced in the Middle East following the terrorist attack by Hamas, may impact the Company and its operations in a number of different ways, which are yet to be fully assessed and are therefore causing uncertainty. The Company works with third party sub-contractors for outsourced services, including software engineering and development, some of whom are based in Eastern Europe, including Russia and Ukraine. The Company also works with outsourced engineers and developers and third-party providers in other parts of the world, including the United States, India,Eastern Europe and South America.Pakistan. While the continuing impact of this conflictthese conflicts and the response of the United States and other countries to itthem by means of trade and economic sanctions, or other actions is still unknown, any disruption of our ability to work with such contractors caused by this conflictthese conflicts could require the Company to seek alternative sub-contractors at short notice, which may give rise to additional costs and delays in delivering software and product upgrades.

 


The uncertainty impacting and potential interruption in energy and other supply chains resulting from military hostilities in Europe and the Middle East and the response of the United States and other countries to itthem by means of trade and economic sanctions, or other actions, may give rise to increases in costs of goods and services generally and may impact the market for our products as prospective customers reconsider additional capital expenditure, or other investment plans until the situation becomes clearer. On the other hand, the threat of increased cyber-attacks from Russia or other countries may prompt enterprises to adopt additional security measures such as those offered by the Company.

 

For so long as the hostilities continue and perhaps even thereafter as the situationsituations in Europe unfolds,and the Middle East unfold, we may see increased volatility in financial markets which may make it more difficult for the Company to raise additional capital at the time when it needs to do so, or for financing to be available on acceptable terms. All or any of these risks separately, or in combination, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is deemed by our management to be material to investors.

 

Recent Accounting Policies

 

The recent material accounting policies that may be the most critical to understanding of the financial results and conditions are discussed in Note 1 of the unaudited financial statements.

 

In August 2021 the FASB issued a new standard (ASU 2021-06) to reduce the complexity of accounting for convertible debt and other equity-linked instruments. For certain convertible debt instruments with a cash conversion feature, the changes are a trade-off between simplifications in the accounting model (no separation of an “equity” component to impute a market interest rate, and simpler analysis of embedded equity features) and a potentially adverse impact to diluted EPS by requiring the use of the if-converted method. The new standard will also impact other financial instruments commonly issued by both public and private companies. For example, the separation model for beneficial conversion features is eliminated simplifying the analysis for issuers of convertible debt and convertible preferred stock. Also, certain specific requirements to achieve equity classification and/ or qualify for the derivative scope exception for contracts indexed to an entity’s own equity are removed, enabling more freestanding instruments and embedded features to avoid mark-to-market accounting. The new standard is effective for companies that are SEC filers (except for Smaller Reporting Companies) for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within that year, and two years later for other companies. Companies can early adopt the standard at the start of a fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2021. The standard can either be adopted on a modified retrospective or a full retrospective basis. The Company is currently reviewing the newly issued standard and does not believe it will materially impact the Company.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include disclosure under this item.

 


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30,2022,30, 2023, as a result of a material weakness discussed below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures arewere not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the report that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting related to the review of accounting treatment for the Convertible Notes conversion transaction, which occurred during the period. The Convertible Note conversion transaction which gave rise to this issue (See Note 6 “Convertible Notes Payable”) was a complex and infrequent transaction, which requires particular accounting treatment. The correct accounting treatment was not immediately identified by the Company, due to the Company’s limited resources available for advanced technical analysis and advice, similar to other companies of our size. The correct accounting treatment was identified and reflected prior to filing of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and no previously published financial statements were impacted by this issue.

Our plan to remediate this material weakness is to undertake a review of the Company’s activities during each quarter in order to identify any potential complex accounting matters and then to engage a CPA advisory firm to review the proposed accounting treatment on any complex accounting matters that may arise in the future.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 20222023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 


 

 

PART II

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, we have no reason to believe the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Risk factors describing the major risks to our business can be found under Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There2022. Except as set forth below, which discusses a material weakness in our control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2023, and the recent outbreak of war in the Middle East following the terrorist attack by Hamas, there has been no material change in our risk factors from those previously discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. We operate in a business environment that is sensitive to political, economic and regulatory uncertainty, including with respect to cybersecurity and infrastructure investment, all of which may also be compounded by any future global impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, the continuing warwars in Ukraine and the Middle East and inflationary pressures, rising energy prices and increases in interest rates (see “Covid 19” and “Ukraine and the Middle East” above).

 

Our business is subject to changing regulations regarding corporate governance, disclosure controls, internal control over financial reporting and other compliance areas that will increase both our costs and the risk of noncompliance. If we fail to comply with these regulations, we could face difficulties in preparing and filing timely and accurate financial reports.

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act. We are also subject to the corporate governance and other listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Maintaining compliance with these rules and regulations, particularly after we cease to be an emerging growth company, will increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, will make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly and may also place increased strain on our personnel, systems and resources.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company, we will be required to provide attestation that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures by our registered public accounting firm. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls, or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control also could adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that are required to include in our periodic reports filed with the SEC, under Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or the annual auditor attestation reports regarding effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting that we will be required to include in our periodic reports filed with the SEC upon our ceasing to be an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company, unless, under the JOBS Act, we meet certain criteria that would require such reports to be included prior to then, under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of shares of our Common Stock.


In order to maintain the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting going forward, we will need to expend significant resources and provide significant management oversight. There is a substantial effort involved in continuing to implement appropriate processes, document our system of internal control over relevant processes, assess their design, remediate any deficiencies identified and test their operation. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. These efforts will also involve substantial accounting-related costs. We may experience difficulty in meeting these reporting requirements in a timely manner.

As disclosed in Item 4 of this Quarterly Report, we had a material weakness in our control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2023.  Management has taken action to implement a plan to remediate the various elements of this material weakness, with immediate effect in relation to the financial statements for the quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2023. The remediation plan is to undertake a review of the Company’s activities during each quarter in order to identify any potential complex accounting matters and then to engage a CPA advisory firm to review the proposed accounting treatment on any complex accounting matters that may arise in the future. The Company engaged a CPA advisory firm to advise on certain complex accounting matters with respect to the financial statements for the three and nine month periods ending and as of September 30, 2023.

If we are unable to appropriately implement and maintain this remediation plan and maintain any other necessary controls currently in place or that we implement in the future and pending such implementation, or if any difficulties are encountered in their implementation or improvement, (1) our management might not be able to certify, and our independent registered public accounting firm might not be able to report on, the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, which would cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, (2) misstatements in our financial statements may occur that may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis and (3) we may be deemed to have significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls may require specific compliance training of our directors, officers and employees, entail substantial costs in order to modify our existing accounting systems, and take a significant period of time to complete. Such changes may not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of our internal controls, and any failure to maintain that adequacy, or consequent inability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis, could increase our operating costs and could materially impair our ability to operate our business. In the event that we are not able to demonstrate compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner, our internal controls are perceived as inadequate or that we are unable to produce timely or accurate financial statements, our stock price could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources. 


ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
