Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation, including assets acquired under capital leases or finance leases, are recorded over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the lease term of the applicable assets using the straight-line method beginning on the date an asset is placed in service. The Company regularly evaluates the estimated remaining useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The estimated useful life of the Companies Property and Equipment is as follows:

Useful Life (in years)
Computer equipment and software5
Office equipment and furniture7
Leasehold improvementsShorter of the useful life or the lease term

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as 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 accounting guidance includes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 — UnadjustedObservable inputs reflecting quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;and liabilities;

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which include management’s own assumption about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.

Warrant Liabilities: The Company’sCompany re-measures fair value of its Level 3 warrant liabilities at the balance sheet includes certain financial instruments, including cash, notes receivables, accounts payable, notes payables and short and long-term debt.date, using a binomial option pricing model. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because offollowing summarizes the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization. significant unobservable inputs:

Risk free rate  4.10%  1.10%

The carrying amounts of long-term debt approximate their fair value as the variable interest rates are based on a market index.

Deferred Financing Costs

The Company has recorded deferred financing costs as a result of fees incurred by the Company in conjunction with its debt financing activities. These costs are amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method which approximates the interest rate method over the term of the related debt. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, unamortized deferred financing costs were $180,590, and $186,312, respectively and are netted against the related debt.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and the consideration transferred are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the expected life of the asset. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over thefollowing reconciles fair value of the tangible net assetsliability classified warrants:

Investment in Nsure

On February 19, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with NSURE, Inc. (“NSURE”), which was further amended on October 8, 2020, and as amended provides that the Company may invest up to an aggregate of $5,700,000 in NSURE to be funded in three tranches. In exchange, the Company will receive a total of 928,343 shares of NSURE’s Class A Common Stock.

During the course of calendar year 2020 and by October 8, 2020, the Company funded the first tranche, $1,350,000 in exchange for 394,029 shares. The second tranche allowed the Company to acquire an additional 209,075 shares at a price of $6.457 per share by no later than December 30, 2020. The third full tranche allowed the Company to purchase an additional 325,239 shares at a purchase price of $9.224 after December 20, 2020, but no later than March 31, 2021.

The Company did not fund tranches two and three in the required timeframes, thus, the Company relinquished its rights under the contract to any additional NSURE shares aside for the ones already acquired with tranche one.

The Company measures the NSURE shares subsequent to acquisition date, such as earn-outs, are recognized as follows: 1) if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, the contingent consideration is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity, or 2) if the contingent consideration is classified as a liability, the changes in accordance with ASC 321-10-35-2, at cost less impairment since no readily determinable fair value are recognized in earnings.

Identifiable Intangible Assets, net

Finite-lived intangible assets such as customer relationships assets, trademarks and tradenames are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis for periods ranging from 3is available to 20 years. Finite-lived intangible assets arethe Company. The investment is reviewed for impairment or obsolescence whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of intangible assets is measuredat each reporting period by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value. No impairment was recognized during the periods presented.

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles

The Company records goodwill when the purchase price of a business acquisition exceeds the estimatedqualitatively assessing any indicators demonstrating fair value of net identified tangiblethe investment is less than carrying value. The Company did not observe any price changes resulting from orderly transactions for identical or similar assets for the periods ended September 30, 2022 or September 30, 2021. ASC 321-10-50-4 further requires an entity to disclose unrealized gains and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is assignedlosses for periods that relate to equity securities held at a reporting unitdate. To-date, the Company has not recognized any unrealized gains or losses on the acquisition date and tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently when events or changesNSURE security.

In accordance with ACS 321-10-35-3, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine if the investment may be impaired. After considering the indicators contained in circumstances indicateASC 321-10-35-3a –3e, the Company determined that the fair value of a reporting unit has more likely thaninvestment was not declined below its carrying value. Similarly, indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill, such as trade names, are tested annually or more frequently if indicated, for impairment. If impaired, intangible assets are written down to fair value based on the expected discounted cash flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded no impairment of goodwill.impaired.

The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchangeNo other single Customer accounted for those goods or services. Accordingly, we recognize revenue for our services in accordance with the following five steps outlined in ASC 606:

Identificationmore than 10% of the contract, or contracts, with a customer. A contract with a customer exists when (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance, and (iii) we determine that collection of substantially all consideration for goods or services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration.

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the goods or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.

Determination of the transaction price.Company’s commission revenues. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer.

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis.

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company satisfies performance obligations either over time or at a point in time, as discussed in further detail below. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised good or service to the customer.

For individual and family, Medicare supplement, small business and ancillary plans, the Company’s compensation is generally a percentage of the premium amount collected by the carrier during the period that a member maintains coverage under a plan (commissions) and, to a lesser extent, override commissions that health insurance carriers pays the Company for achieving certain objectives. Premium-based commissions are reported to the Company after the premiums are collected by the carrier, generally on a monthly basis. The Company generally continues to receive the commission payment from the relevant insurance carrier until the health insurance plan is cancelled or the Company otherwise does not remain the agent on the policy. The Company recognizes commission revenue for individual and family, Medicare Supplement, small business and ancillary plans when premiums are effective. The Company determines that there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement when the Company has a commission agreement with a health insurance carrier, a carrier reports to the Company that it has approved an application submitted through the Company’s platform, and the applicant starts making payments on the plan. The Company’s services are complete when a carrier has approved an application. The seller’s price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured when commission amounts have been reported to the Company by a carrier.

Commission revenue from insurance distribution and brokerage operations is recognized when all placement services have been provided, protection is afforded under the insurance policy, and the premium is known or can be reasonably estimated and is billable. In general, two types of billing practices occur as part of our agency contracts, which is direct bill and agency bill. In direct bill scenarios, the insurance carriers that underwrite the insurance policies directly bill and collect the premium for the policy without any involvement from the Company. Upon collection, a commission is then remitted from the insurance carrier to the Company. These commissions have not met the criteria for revenue recognition until the Company receives the commissions, as the Company does not have insight into policy acceptance and premium collections until the commission is received from the insurance carrier, representing that the insurance policy has been bound and therefore commissions have been earned by the Company. The second billing practice where the Company bills the policy holder and collects the premiums (“Agency Bill”) provides greater transparency by the Company into the acceptance of the policy and premium collection. As part of the Agency Bill process, the Company can, at times, net its commissions out of the premiums to be sent to the insurance carriers. For Agency Bill customers, the revenue recognition criteria are considered met when the Agency receives the premiums from the policy holder, with an allowance established against the revenue for policies that may not be bound by the insurance companies.

All commission revenue is recorded netloss of any deductions for estimated commission adjustments due to lapses, policy cancellations,significant customer, including Priority Health, BlueCross BlueShield and revisions in coverage.

Insurance commissions earned from carriers for life insurance products are recorded gross of amounts due to agents, with a corresponding commission expense for downstream agent commissions being recorded as commission expense within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company earns additional revenue including contingent commissions, profit-sharing, override and bonuses based on meeting certain revenue or profit targets established periodically by the carriers (collectively the Contingent Commissions). The Contingent Commissions are earned when the Company achieves the targets established by the insurance carries. The insurance carriers notify the company when it has achieved the target. The Company recognizes revenue for any additional commissions at the time it is reasonably assured it will receive payment for these commissions, which is generally when the insurance carrier notifies the Company that it has earned the commission typically early in the following fiscal year.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel costs for the Company’s administrative functions, professional service fees, office rent, all employee travel expenses, and other general costs.

Marketing and Advertising

The Company’s direct channel expenses primarily consist of costs for e-mail marketing and newspaper advertisements. The Company’s online advertising channel expense primarily consist of social media ads. Advertising costs for both direct and online channels are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. This ASU, which the Company adopted as of January 1, 2019, did notLTC Global could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Company.

Stock-based compensation cost is measured atIncome Taxes

The Company recorded no income tax expense for the grant date based onthree and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 because the fair valueestimated annual effective tax rate was zero. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the awardCompany’s annual earnings and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, based on the terms of the awards.

Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”) to replace existing lease accounting guidance. This pronouncement is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. Expenses associated with leases will continue to be recognized inprovided a manner similar to previous accounting guidance. The Company adopted ASC 842 utilizing the transition practical expedient added by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which eliminates the requirement that entities apply the new lease standard to the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption.

The Company is the lessee in a lease contract when the Company obtains the right to use the asset. Operating leases are included in the line items right-of-use asset, lease obligation, current, and lease obligation, long-term in the consolidated balance sheet. Right-of-use (“ROU”) asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent the Company’s obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease, both of which are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company determines the lease term by agreement with lessor.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizesfull valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates forsince the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance ifCompany believes it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In evaluating its ability to recover deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction in which they arise, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including the expected reversals of taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, taxable income available via carryback to prior years, tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations. The Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets including scheduling the reversal of its deferred tax assets and liabilities, to determine the amount of valuation allowance needed. Scheduling the reversal of deferred tax asset and liability balances requires judgment and estimation. The Company believes the deferred tax liabilities relied upon as future taxable income in its assessment will reverse in the same period and jurisdiction and are of the same character as the temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets that willnot be realized.

 

SeasonalityPrior Period Adjustments

A greater numberThe Company identified certain immaterial adjustments impacting prior reporting periods. Specifically, the Company identified adjustments to correct certain asset, liability and equity accounts in relation to historical purchase price allocation accounting, historical accrued revenues and true ups of the common stock issuable account.

The Company assessed the materiality of the adjustments to prior period financial statements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. (SAB) 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.

Accordingly, the Company’s Medicare-related health insurance plans are soldcomparative condensed consolidated financial statements and impacted notes have been revised from amounts previously reported to reflect these adjustments. The following table illustrates the impact on previously reported amounts and adjusted balances presented in the fourth quarter duringcondensed consolidated financial statements for the Medicare annual enrollment period when Medicare-eligible individuals are permitted to change their Medicare Advantage. The majority of the Company’s individual and family health insurance plans are sold in the annual open enrollment period as defined under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and related amendments in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act. Individuals and families generally are not able to purchase individual and family health insurance outside of these open enrollment periods, unless they qualify for a special enrollment period as a result of certain qualifying events, such as losing employer-sponsored health insurance or moving to another state.ended September 30, 2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASBWe do not expect any recently issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires the measurement of expected credit losses for financial instruments carried at amortized cost, such as accounts receivable, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. The main objective of this ASU isaccounting pronouncements to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financing Instruments—Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. On November 15, 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date of FASB ASC Topic 326 for certain small public companies and other private companies. As amended, the effective date of ASC Topic 326 was delayed until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies under the SEC’s definition. The Company does not currently believe the adoption of this standard will have a significant impactmaterial effect on itsour financial statements, given its history of minimal bad debt expense relating to trade accounts receivable.statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and simplifies other areas of the existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this pronouncement January 1, 2021.

UIS Transaction

On August 17, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with UIS Agencycompleted the acquisition of all of the assets of Medigap Healthcare Insurance Company, LLC whereby the Company shall purchase the business and certain assets noted within the Purchase Agreement (the “UIS Acquisition”(“Medigap”) for a total purchase price of $883,334. The purchase price was paid with a$20,096,250, consisting of: (i) payment to Medigap of $18,138,750 in cash paymentand (ii) the issuance to Medigap of $601,696, $200,000 in606,037 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The purchase price is subject to post-closing adjustment to reconcile certain pre-closing credits and an earn-out payment. Three cash installment payments totaling $500,000 were due on September 30, 2020, October 31, 2020liabilities of the parties. The shares issued to Medigap as part of the purchase price are further subject to lock up arrangements pursuant to which 50% of the shares may be sold after the one-year anniversary of the date of closing of the transaction and December 31, 2020. Earn-out payment is dependent on the Net Product Line Revenues being equal to or greater than $450,000 for the measurement period. The balance of the earn-out liability asshares may be sold after the second-year anniversary of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $81,638 and is included in long term debt on the balance sheet.date of closing of the transaction.

The UIS Acquisitionacquisition of Medigap was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the acquisition method under the guidance in ASC 805-10 and 805-20.pursuant to FASB Topic No. 805, Business Combination (ASC 805). Accordingly, the total purchase consideration was allocated to intangiblethe assets acquired, and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values. The acquisition method of accounting requires, among other things, that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, if any, in a business purchase combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and certain tangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows, developing appropriate discount rates, estimating the costs, and timing.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price in connection with the UIS Acquisitionacquisition of Medigap was calculated as follows:

Trade name was measured at fair value using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. Significant inputs used to measure the fair value include an estimate of projected revenue from the trade name, a pre-tax royalty rate of 0.5% and a discount rate of 11.0%.

Customer relationships were measured at fair value using the multiple-period excess earnings method under the income approach. Significant inputs used to measure the fair value include an estimate of projected revenue and costs associated with existing customers, and a discount rate of 11.0%.

Technology was measured at fair value using the cost replacement method of the cost approach. Significant inputs used to measure the fair value include an estimate of cost to replace, an obsolescence rate of 40.3%.

The Company classified the commitment to issue the warrants as a derivative liability because it represents a written option that does not qualify for equity accounting The Company initially measured the derivative liability at its fair value and will subsequently remeasure the derivative liability, at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. An option pricing model was utilized to calculate the fair value of the Warrant Commitment. The Company initially recorded $17,652,808 of non-operating unrealized losses within the recognition and change in fair value of warrant liabilities account for the year ended December 31, 20182021.

NOTE 11. 7. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) applicable to common stockholders is computed by dividing earnings applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.

If there is a loss from operations, diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as basic EPS is computed. Similarly, if the Company has net income but its preferred dividend adjustment made in computing income available to common stockholders results in a net loss available to common stockholders, diluted EPS would be computed in the same manner as basic EPS.

The gain in fair value of the Placement Agent warrants for the three months September 30, 2022 is included in the numerator of the dilutive EPS calculation to eliminate the effects of the warrants that have been recorded in net income as the impact is dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as the fair value change in the Placement Agent warrants is a loss, the addback of the loss would result in anti-dilution and therefore is not included in the numerator of dilutive EPS.

The potential impact of the 9,779,950 and 244,539 Series B and Placement Agent warrants are excluded from the denominator of the dilutive EPS calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as the average market price for both periods does not exceed the exercise price of the warrants, resulting in anti-dilutive in which 100,000 and 395,640 were issued and outstanding at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the United States has resulted in economic uncertainties which may negatively impactfollowing outlines changes to the Company’s business operations. Whileearn-out liability balances for the disruption is expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty surrounding the duration and extent of the impact.

Any of the foregoing could harm our business and delay the implementation of our business strategy and we cannot anticipate all the ways in which the current global health crisis and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.

The Company’s income tax provision for interim periods is generally determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in the quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, however, the Company calculates its income tax expense by applying to any pre-tax loss/income an effective tax rate determined as if the year to date period is the annual period. Using this method, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, its estimated annual effective tax rate from continuing operation was 0% and the resulting income tax expense was $0. We believe that, at this time, this method for determining the effective tax rate is more reliable than projecting an annual effective tax rate due to the uncertainty of estimating annual pre-tax loss/income under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to a valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using applicable tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if it is not more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the deferred tax assets in future, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities also involves assessment of uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in the applicable jurisdictions, and a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of technical merits. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized benefits as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions, and there were no amounts for penalties or interest recorded as of March 31, 2021. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its positions.

On March 11, 2021, The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA Act”) was signed into law. We evaluated the applicable provisions of the ARPA Act and determined that there is no material impact expected to our financial results. We will continue to monitor future guidance issued regarding the ARPA Act to determine any future impacts to our financial results.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Reliance Global Group, Inc. (formerly known as Ethos Media Network, Inc.) was incorporated in Florida on August 2, 2013. In September 2018, Reliance Global Holdings, LLC, a related party, purchased a controlling interest in the Company. Ethos Media Network, Inc. was renamed Reliance Global Group, Inc. on October 18, 2018.

We operate as a diversified company engaging in business in the insurance market, as well as other related sectors. Our focus is to grow the Company by pursuing an aggressive acquisition strategy, initially and primarily focused upon wholesale and retail insurance agencies. The Company is controlled by the same management team as Reliance Global Holdings, LLC (“Reliance Holdings”), a New York based firm that is the owner and operator of numerous companies with core interests in real estate and insurance. Our relationship with Reliance Holdings provides us with significant benefits: (1) experience, knowhow,knowledge, and industry relations; (2) a source of acquisition targets currently under Reliance Holdings’ control; and (3) financial and logistics assistance. We are led and advised by a management team that offers over 100 years of combined business expertise in real estate, insurance, and the financial service industry.

In the insurance sector, our management has extensive experience acquiring and managing insurance portfolios in several states, as well as developing specialized programs targeting niche markets. Our primary strategy is to identify specific risk to reward arbitrage opportunities and develop these on a national platform, thereby increasing revenues and returns, and then identify and acquire undervalued wholesale and retail insurance agencies with operations in growing or underserved segments, expand and optimize their operations, and achieve asset value appreciation while generating interim cash flows.

Consistent with our disciplined approach, we decided not to proceed with the LOI announced on September 9, 2020 following extensive due diligence, including further evaluation of the growth prospects, earnings potential and proposed purchase price. We have also accomplished organically manyAs part of our original goalsgrowth and acquisition strategy, we continue to survey the current insurance market for value-add acquisition opportunities. As of this acquisition,September 30, 2022, we have acquired ten insurance agencies, including the addition of new carriersboth affiliated and licensing of 5minuteinsure.com in numerous states across the U.S. through Reliance Insurtech, LLCunaffiliated companies and our Fortman Insurance Agency subsidiary.

Longlong term, we seek to conduct all transactions and acquisitions through our direct operations.

Over the next 12 months, we plan to focus on the expansion and growth of our business through continued asset acquisitions in insurance markets and organic growth of our current insurance operations through geographic expansion and market share growth.

Further, the Company recently announced the beta launch of itswe launched our 5MinuteInsure.com (“5MI”) Insurtech platform as the next step in expandingduring 2021 which expanded our national footprint. 5minuteInsure.com5MI is a new andhigh-tech proprietary tool developed by Reliance Globalus as a business to be utilizedconsumer portal which enables consumers to instantly compare quotes from multiple carriers and purchase their car and home insurance in conjunction with currenta time efficient and planned agency acquisitions, as well as affiliated agencies.

This combines the best of digital and human capabilities by providing our agency partners and their customers quotes from multiple carriers within minutes. Since its inception, RELI Exchange, has increased its agent roster by more than 30%.

Business Trends and Uncertainties

The insurance intermediary business is highly competitive, and we actively compete with numerous firms for customers, properties and insurance companies, many of which have relationships with insurance companies, or have a significant presence in niche insurance markets that may give them an advantage over us. Other competitive concerns may include the quality of our products and services, our pricing and the ability of some of our customers to grow rapidly.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2022, consist of derivative warrants. These are accounted at fair value as of inception/issuance date, and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, (non-cash) gain or loss.

Insurance Operations

Our insurance operations focus on the acquisition and management of insurance agencies throughout the U.S. Our primary focus is to pinpoint undervalued wholesale and retail insurance agencies with operations in growing or underserved segments (including healthcare and Medicare, as well as personal and commercial insurance lines). We then focus on expanding their operations on a national platform and improving operational efficiencies in order to achieve asset value appreciation while generating interim cash flows. In the insurance sector, our management team has over 100 years of experiences acquiring and managing insurance portfolios in several states, as well as developing specialized programs targeting niche markets. We plan to accomplish these objectives by acquiring wholesale and retail insurance agencies it deems to represent a good buying opportunity (as opposed to insurance carriers) as insurance agencies bear no insurance risk. Once acquired, we willplan to develop them on a national platform to increase revenues and profits through a synergetic structure. The Company is initially focused on segments that are underserved or growing, including healthcare and Medicare, as well as personal and commercial insurance lines.

The spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the United States has resulted in economic uncertainties which may negatively impact the Company’sour business operations. While the disruption is expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty surrounding the duration and extent of the impact. Currently the Company haswe have not seen any material financial impact as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. However, management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry and workforce.

Adverse events such as health-related concerns about working in our offices, the inability to travel and other matters affecting the general work environment could harm our business and our business strategy. While we do not anticipate any material impact to our business operations as a result of the coronavirus, in the event of a major disruption caused by the outbreak of pandemic diseases such as coronavirus, we may lose the services of our employees or experience system interruptions, which could lead to diminishment of our business operations. Any of the foregoing could harm our business and delay the implementation of our business strategy and we cannot anticipate all the ways in which the current global health crisis and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.

Inflation

 

The Company generally may be impacted by rising costs for certain inflation-sensitive operating expenses such as labor, employee benefits, and facility leases. The Company believes inflation could have a material impact to pricing and operating expenses in future periods due to the state of the economy and current inflation rates.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as such term is defined in Regulation S-K.

CriticalSignificant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. Estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, forecasted events, and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and judgments may vary under different assumptions or conditions. We evaluatedescribe our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Our management believes thesignificant accounting policies below are critical in the portrayalNote 2, Summary of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments.

Business acquisitions:Significant Accounting for acquisitions requires us to estimate the fair value of consideration paid and the individual assets and liabilities acquired, which involves a number of judgments, assumptions, and estimates that could materially affect the amount and timing of costs recognized in subsequent periods. Accounting for acquisitions can also involve significant judgment to determine when controlPolicies, of the acquired entity is transferred. We typically obtain independent third-party valuation studiesNotes to assistConsolidated Financial Statements, and our critical accounting estimates in determining fair values, including assistanceItem 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in determining future cash flows, discount rates, and comparable market values. Items involving significant assumptions, estimates, and judgments include the following:

● Debt, including discount rate and timing of payments;

28

● Deferred tax assets, including projections of future taxable income and tax rates;

● Fair value of consideration paid or transferred;

● Intangible assets, including valuation methodology, estimations of future revenue and costs, and discount rates;

Contingencies: We are subject to the possibility of losses from various contingencies. Significant judgment is necessary to estimate the probability and amount of a loss, if any, from such contingencies. An accrual is made when it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset has been impaired, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In accountingour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the resolution of contingencies,fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no significant judgment may be necessary to estimate amounts pertaining to periods prior to the resolution that are charged to operations in the period of resolution and amounts related to future periods.

Goodwill and intangible assets: We test goodwill for impairmentchanges in our fourth quarter eachsignificant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates since the end of fiscal year or more frequently if indicators of an impairment exist, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit with goodwill is less than its carrying value. For reporting units for which this assessment concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than its carrying value, goodwill is considered not impaired and we are not required to perform the goodwill impairment test. Qualitative factors considered in this assessment include industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, and other relevant events and factors affecting the fair value of the reporting unit. For reporting units for which this assessment concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value is below the carrying value, goodwill is tested for impairment by determining the fair value of each reporting unit and comparing it to the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is considered not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we would record an impairment loss up to the difference between the carrying value and implied fair value.2021.

Determining when to test for impairment, the reporting units, the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, and the fair value of the reporting unit requires significant judgment and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, and expenses and are developed as part of our long-range planning process. The same estimates are used in business planning, forecasting, and capital budgeting. We test the reasonableness of the output of our long-range planning process by calculating an implied value per share and comparing that to current stock prices, analysts’ consensus pricing, and management’s expectations. These estimates and assumptions are used to calculate projected future cash flows for the reporting unit, which are discounted using a risk-adjusted rate to estimate a fair value. The discount rate requires determination of appropriate market comparables. We base fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates.

We test other identified intangible assets with definite useful lives when events and circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable by comparing the carrying amount to the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. We test intangible assets with indefinite lives annually for impairment using a fair value method such as discounted cash flows. Estimating fair values involves significant assumptions, including future sales prices, sales volumes, costs, and discount rates.

Income taxes: We are required to estimate our provision for income taxes and amounts ultimately payable or recoverable in numerous tax jurisdictions around the world. These estimates involve significant judgment and interpretations of regulations and are inherently complex. Resolution of income tax treatments in individual jurisdictions may not be known for many years after completion of the applicable year. We are also required to evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets on an ongoing basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the assessment of our performance and other relevant factors. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on our ability to generate future taxable income. In recent periods, our results of operations have benefited from increases in the amount of deferred taxes we expect to realize, primarily from the levels of capital spending and increases in the amount of taxable income we expect to realize in Japan and the United States. Our income tax provision or benefit is dependent, in part, on our ability to forecast future taxable income in these and other jurisdictions. Such forecasts are inherently difficult and involve significant judgments including, among others, projecting future average selling prices and sales volumes, manufacturing and overhead costs, levels of capital spending, and other factors that significantly impact our analyses of the amount of net deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.

29

Revenue recognition:

All commission revenue is recorded net of any deductions for estimated commission adjustments due to lapses, policy cancellations, and revisions in coverage.

The Company earns additional revenue including contingent commissions, profit-sharing, override and bonuses based on meeting certain revenue or profit targets established periodically by the carriers (collectively the Contingent Commissions). The Contingent Commissions are earned when the Company achieves the targets established by the insurance carries. The insurance carriers notify the company when it has achieved the target. The Company only recognizes revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the revenue will not occur.

Stock-based compensation: Stock-based compensation is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense using the straight-line amortization method over the requisite service period. For performance-based stock awards, the expense recognized is dependent on our assessment of the likelihood of the performance measure being achieved. We utilize forecasts of future performance to assess these probabilities and this assessment requires significant judgment.

Determining the appropriate fair-value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires significant judgment, including estimating stock price volatility and expected option life. We develop these estimates based on historical data and market information which can change significantly over time. A small change in the estimates used can result in a relatively large change in the estimated valuation. We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value employee stock options and awards granted under our employee stock purchase plan. We estimate stock price volatility based on our historical volatility implied volatility derived from traded options on our stock.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), refers to controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to a company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

During fiscal year 2020, the management determined it had a material weakness in its financial reporting and closing process. The Company plans to mitigate this material weakness by hiring an SEC reporting manager in fiscal 2021.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021.September 30, 2022. Based on thisthe evaluation, our management has concluded that ourthe Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Not applicable.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The following important factors, among others, could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q or presented elsewhere by management from time to time. Investors should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not material may also significantly impair our business operations. Our business could be harmed by any of these risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and investors may lose all or part of their investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

We may experience significant fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results.

Fluctuations in our quarterly and annual financial results have resulted and will continue to result from numerous factors, including:

The Company having a limited operating history
The Company has limited resources and there is significant competition for business combination opportunities. Therefore, the Company may not be able to acquire other assets or businesses
The Company may be unable to obtain additional financing, if required, to complete an acquisition, or to Company the operations and growth of existing and target business, which could compel the Company to restructure a potential business transaction or abandon a particular business combination
Our inability to retain or hire qualified employees, as well as the loss of any of our executive officers, could negatively impact our ability to retain existing business and generate new business
Our growth strategy depends, in part, on the acquisition of other insurance intermediaries, which may not be available on acceptable terms in the future or which, if consummated, may not be advantageous to us
A cybersecurity attack, or any other interruption in information technology and/or data security and/or outsourcing relationships, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and reputation
Rapid technological change may require additional resources and time to adequately respond to dynamics, which may adversely affect our business and operating results
Changes in data privacy and protection laws and regulations, or any failure to comply with such laws and regulations, could adversely affect our business and financial results
Because our insurance business is highly concentrated in Michigan, New Jersey, Montana and Ohio, adverse economic conditions, natural disasters, or regulatory changes in these regions could adversely affect our financial condition
If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in certain of our agreements, our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected
Certain of our agreements contain various covenants that limit the discretion of our management in operating our business and could prevent us from engaging in certain potentially beneficial activities
There are inherent uncertainties involved in estimates, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). Any changes in estimates, judgments and assumptions could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations and therefore our business
Improper disclosure of confidential information could negatively impact our business
Our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be materially adversely affected by certain actual and potential claims, regulatory actions and proceedings

These factors, some of which are not within our control, may cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. If our quarterly operating results fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors, our stock price could drop suddenly and significantly. We believe quarterly comparisons of our financial results are not always meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance.

31

The Company has a limited operating history.

Since the change of control which took place in September of 2018, the Company’s operations have been limited to acquiring the insurance agencies as described in the “Insurance Operations” and “Overview”. Investors will have little basis upon which to evaluate the Company’s ability to achieve the Company’s business objectives which are to acquire, own and operate insurance agencies.

The Company has limited resources and there is significant competition for business combination opportunities. Therefore, the Company may not be able to acquire other assets or businesses.

The Company expects to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to the Company’s, which are also competing for acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than the Company does, and the Company’s financial resources are limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While the Company believes that there are numerous potential target businesses that it could acquire, the Company’s ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses might be limited if the Company’s limited financial resources are less than that of its competitors. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses.

The Company may be unable to obtain additional financing, if required, to complete an acquisition, or to Company the operations and growth of existing and target business, which could compel the Company to restructure a potential business transaction or abandon a particular business combination.

To date, much of our capital for acquiring insurance agencies and operating the ones we have acquired has come from funds provided by Reliance Global Holdings our affiliate, and from loans from unaffiliated lenders. We may be required to seek additional financing. We cannot assure you that such financing would be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If additional financing proves to be unavailable, we would be compelled to restructure or existing business, or abandon a proposed acquisition or acquisitions. In addition, if we consummate additional acquisitions, we may require additional financing to Company the operations or growth of that business. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of our business.

Our inability to retain or hire qualified employees, as well as the loss of any of our executive officers, could negatively impact our ability to retain existing business and generate new business.

Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel. There is significant competition from within the insurance industry and from businesses outside the industries for exceptional employees, especially in key positions. If we are not able to successfully attract, retain and motivate our employees, our business, financial results and reputation could be materially and adversely affected.

Losing employees who manage or support substantial customer relationships or possess substantial experience or expertise could adversely affect our ability to secure and complete customer engagements, which would adversely affect our results of operations. Also, if any of our key personnel were to join an existing competitor or form a competing company, some of our customers could choose to use the services of that competitor instead of our services. While our key personnel are generally prohibited by contract from soliciting our employees and customers for a two-year period following separation from employment with us, they are not prohibited from competing with us.

In addition, we could be adversely affected if we fail to adequately plan for the succession of our senior leaders and key executives. We cannot guarantee that the services of these executives will continue to be available to us. The loss of our senior leaders or other key personnel, or our inability to continue to identify, recruit and retain such personnel, or to do so at reasonable compensation levels, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Our growth strategy depends, in part, on the acquisition of other insurance intermediaries, which may not be available on acceptable terms in the future or which, if consummated, may not be advantageous to us.

Our growth strategy partially includes the acquisition of other insurance intermediaries. Our ability to successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions, integrate acquired businesses into our operations, and expand into new markets requires us to implement and continuously improve our operations and our financial and management information systems. Integrated, acquired businesses may not achieve levels of revenues or profitability comparable to our existing operations, or otherwise perform as expected. In addition, we compete for acquisition and expansion opportunities with firms and banks that may have substantially greater resources than we do. Acquisitions also involve a number of special risks, such as diversion of management’s attention; difficulties in the integration of acquired operations and retention of personnel; increase in expenses and working capital requirements, which could reduce our return on invested capital; entry into unfamiliar markets or lines of business; unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; estimation of the acquisition earn-out payables; and tax and accounting issues, some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Post-acquisition deterioration of operating performance could also result in lower or negative earnings contribution and/or goodwill impairment charges.

A cybersecurity attack, or any other interruption in information technology and/or data security and/or outsourcing relationships, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and reputation.

We rely on information technology and third-party vendors to provide effective and efficient service to our customers, process claims, and timely and accurately report information to carriers and which often involves secure processing of confidential sensitive, proprietary and other types of information. Cybersecurity breaches of any of the systems we rely on may result from circumvention of security systems, denial-of-service attacks or other cyber-attacks, hacking, “phishing” attacks, computer viruses, ransomware, malware, employee or insider error, malfeasance, social engineering, physical breaches or other actions, any of which could expose us to data loss, monetary and reputational damages and significant increases in compliance costs. An interruption of our access to, or an inability to access, our information technology, telecommunications or other systems could significantly impair our ability to perform such functions on a timely basis. If sustained or repeated, such a business interruption, system failure or service denial could result in a deterioration of our ability to write and process new and renewal business, provide customer service, pay claims in a timely manner or perform other necessary business functions. We have from time-to-time experienced cybersecurity breaches, such as computer viruses, unauthorized parties gaining access to our information technology systems and similar incidents, which to date have not had a material impact on our business.

Additionally, we are an acquisitive organization and the process of integrating the information systems of the businesses we acquire is complex and exposes us to additional risk as we might not adequately identify weaknesses in the targets’ information systems, which could expose us to unexpected liabilities or make our own systems more vulnerable to attack. In the future, any material breaches of cybersecurity, or media reports of the same, even if untrue, could cause us to experience reputational harm, loss of clients and revenue, loss of proprietary data, regulatory actions and scrutiny, sanctions or other statutory penalties, litigation, liability for failure to safeguard clients’ information or financial losses. Such losses may not be insured against or not fully covered through insurance we maintain.

Rapid technological change may require additional resources and time to adequately respond to dynamics, which may adversely affect our business and operating results.

Frequent technological changes, new products and services and evolving industry standards are influencing the insurance businesses. The Internet, for example, is increasingly used to securely transmit benefits, property and personal information, and related information to customers and to facilitate business-to-business information exchange and transactions.

We are continuously taking steps to upgrade and expand our information systems capabilities. Maintaining, protecting and enhancing these capabilities to keep pace with evolving industry and regulatory standards, and changing customer preferences, requires an ongoing commitment of significant resources. If the information we rely upon to run our businesses was found to be inaccurate or unreliable or if we fail to effectively maintain our information systems and data integrity, we could experience operational disruptions, regulatory or other legal problems, increases in operating expenses, loss of existing customers, difficulty in attracting new customers, or suffer other adverse consequences.

33

Changes in data privacy and protection laws and regulations, or any failure to comply with such laws and regulations, could adversely affect our business and financial results.

We are subject to a variety of continuously evolving and developing laws and regulations globally regarding privacy, data protection, and data security, including those related to the collection, storage, handling, use, disclosure, transfer, and security of personal data. Significant uncertainty exists as privacy and data protection laws may be interpreted and applied differently from country to country and may create inconsistent or conflicting requirements. These laws apply to transfers of information among our affiliates, as well as to transactions we enter into with third party vendors. These and similar initiatives around the world could increase the cost of developing, implementing or securing our servers and require us to allocate more resources to improved technologies, adding to our information technology and compliance costs. In addition, enforcement actions and investigations by regulatory authorities related to data security incidents and privacy violations continue to increase. The enactment of more restrictive laws, rules, regulations or future enforcement actions or investigations could impact us through increased costs or restrictions on our business, and noncompliance could result in regulatory penalties and significant legal liability.

Because our insurance business is highly concentrated in Michigan, New Jersey, Montana and Ohio, adverse economic conditions, natural disasters, or regulatory changes in these regions could adversely affect our financial condition.

A significant portion of our insurance business is concentrated in Michigan, New Jersey, Montana and Ohio. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020 we derived $2,296,328 and $2,004,314 respectively or 100%, of our quarterly revenue, respectively, from our operations located in these regions (Q1 2021 - Michigan – 50%, New Jersey – 4%, Montana – 21% and Ohio – 26% and Q1 2020 - Michigan – 44%, New Jersey – 5%, Montana – 24% and Ohio – 27%). The insurance business is primarily a state-regulated industry, and therefore, state legislatures may enact laws that adversely affect the insurance industry. Because our business is concentrated in these four states, we face greater exposure to unfavorable changes in regulatory conditions in those states than insurance intermediaries whose operations are more diversified through a greater number of states. In addition, the occurrence of adverse economic conditions, natural or other disasters, or other circumstances specific to or otherwise significantly impacting these states could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We are susceptible to losses and interruptions caused by hurricanes or other weather conditions, and other possible events such as terrorist acts and other natural or man-made disasters. Our insurance coverage with respect to natural disasters is limited and is subject to deductibles and coverage limits. Such coverage may not be adequate or may not continue to be available at commercially reasonable rates and terms.

If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in certain of our agreements, our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

The Oak Street credit agreements, in the aggregate principal amount of $8,641,008 and $9,000,746, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 that govern our debt contain various covenants and other limitations with which we must comply including a debt to EBITDA ratio covenant and a covenant that at all times that the loans are outstanding: (i) Ezra Beyman, our chief executive officer, Debra Beyman, Mr. Beyman’s wife, or Yaakov Beyman, son of Mr. and Ms. Beyman, or someone else approved by Oak Street, as applicable, will be the manager of the current subsidiaries of the Company, (ii) Mr. Ezra Beyman will be President and Chairperson of the Board of the Company, and (iii) Reliance Holdings will continue to hold at least 51% of the Company’s equity. The credit agreements also contain provisions which cause a “cross default” if we default our obligations under other material contracts to which we are parties. The credit agreements contains customary and usual events of default, including, subject to certain specified cure periods and notice requirements, the Company’s or one of its subsidiaries’ failure to comply with the covenants therein. Upon an event of default, the lender has customary and usual remedies to cure these defaults including, but not limited to, the ability to accelerate the indebtedness.

The Company entered into an amended Master Credit Agreement on March 26, 2021 that removed the provisions for which Debra and Ezra Beyman were required to be the majority owners of the Company.

34

The Senior Funded Debt to EBIDTA ratio stated in the covenant “shall be no greater than 4.0 to 1.0”. As of June 30, 2020, the ratio was 4.97 with the Company thereby, defaulting on the covenant. As of June 30, 2020, the Company obtained a covenant waiver in order to continue to be in compliance with the financial covenants and other limitations contained in each of these agreements. However, failure to comply with material provisions of our covenants in these agreements or other credit or similar agreements to which we may become a party could result in a default, rendering them unavailable to us and causing a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition. In the event of certain defaults, the lenders thereunder would not be required to lend any additional amounts to us and could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be due and payable. If the indebtedness under these agreements or our other indebtedness, were to be accelerated, there can be no assurance that our assets would be sufficient to repay such indebtedness in full.

Due to the covenant waiver on June 30, 2020, Oak Street and the Company signed an amended agreement on August 11, 2020, to update its covenant so that, the Company should remain in compliance. The amendment states that for the September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020 covenant test, the ratio of Senior Funded Debt to EBIDTA shall be no greater than 5.0 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company reported a ratio of 3.9 and 4.2, respectively, for Senior Funded Debt to EBIDTA, and remain in compliance. Beginning at March 31, 2021 and thereafter the Senior Funded Debt to EBIDTA ratio shall be reduced to no greater than 4.0 to 1.0.

As of the date of this filing, we are in compliance and do not believe we are at further risk of noncompliance.

Certain of our agreements contain various covenants that limit the discretion of our management in operating our business and could prevent us from engaging in certain potentially beneficial activities.

The restrictive covenants in our debt agreements may impact how we operate our business and prevent us from engaging in certain potentially beneficial activities. In particular, among other covenants, our debt agreements require us to maintain a minimum ratio of Consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), adjusted for certain transaction-related items (“Consolidated EBITDA”), to consolidated interest expense and a maximum ratio of consolidated net indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA. Our compliance with these covenants could limit management’s discretion in operating our business and could prevent us from engaging in certain potentially beneficial activities.

There are inherent uncertainties involved in estimates, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Any changes in estimates, judgments and assumptions could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations and therefore our business.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP involves making estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets (including intangible assets), liabilities and related reserves, revenues, expenses, and income. Estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently subject to change in the future, and any such changes could result in corresponding changes to the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and income, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Improper disclosure of confidential information could negatively impact our business.

We are responsible for maintaining the security and privacy of our customers’ confidential and proprietary information and the personal data of their employees. We have put in place policies, procedures and technological safeguards designed to protect the security and privacy of this information; however, we cannot guarantee that this information will not be improperly disclosed or accessed. Disclosure of this information could harm our reputation and subject us to liability under our contracts and laws that protect personal data, resulting in increased costs or loss of revenues.

35

Our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be materially adversely affected by certain actual and potential claims, regulatory actions and proceedings.

We are subject to various actuallegal proceedings and potential claims, regulatory actions and other proceedings including those relating to alleged errors and omissions in connection with the placementeither asserted or servicing of insurance and/or the provision of servicesunasserted, arising in the ordinary course of business, of which we cannot, and likely will not be able to, predictbusiness. While the outcome with certainty. Because we often assist customers with matters involving substantial amounts of money, including the placement of insurance and the handling of related claims that customers may assert, errors and omissions claims against us may arise alleging potential liability for all or part of the amounts in question. Also, the failure of an insurer with whom we place business could result in errors and omissions claims against us by our customers, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Claimants may seek large damage awards, and these claims may involve potentially significant legal costs, including punitive damages. Such claims, lawsuits and other proceedings could, for example, include claims for damages based upon allegations that our employees or sub-agents failed to procure coverage, report claims on behalfcannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe the outcome of customers, provide insurance companies with complete and accurate information relating to the risks being insured or appropriately apply funds that we hold for our customers on a fiduciary basis. In addition, given the long-tail natureany of professional liability claims, errors and omissions matters can relate to matters dating back many years. Where appropriate, we have established provisions against these potential matters that we believe to be adequate in the light of current information and legal advice, and we adjust such provisions from time to time according to developments.

While most of the errors and omissions claims made against us (subject to our self-insured deductibles) have been covered by our professional indemnity insurance, our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be adversely affected if, in the future, our insurance coverage proves to be inadequate or unavailable, or if there is an increase in liabilities for which we self-insure. Our ability to obtain professional indemnity insurance in the amounts and with the deductibles we desire in the future may be adversely impacted by general developments in the market for such insurance or our own claims experience. In addition, regardless of monetary costs, these matters could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and cause harm to our carrier, customer or employee relationships, or divert personnel and management resources.

Risks Related to the Insurance Industry

We may experience increased competition from insurance companies, technology companies and the financial services industry, as well as the shift away from traditional insurance markets.

The insurance intermediary business is highly competitive and we actively compete with numerous firms for customers, properties and insurance companies, many of which have relationships with insurance companies, or have a significant presence in niche insurance markets that may give them an advantage over us. Other competitive concerns may include the quality of our products and services, our pricing and the ability of some of our customers to self-insure and the entrance of technology companies into the insurance intermediary business. A number of insurance companies are engaged in the direct sale of insurance, primarily to individuals, and do not pay commissions to agents and brokers. In addition, and to the extent that banks, securities firms, private equity companies, and insurance companies affiliate, the financial services industry may experience further consolidation, and we therefore may experience increased competition from insurance companies and the financial services industry, as a growing number of larger financial institutions increasingly, and aggressively, offer a wider variety of financial services, including insurance intermediary services.

Worsening of Current U.S. economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our business.

If economic conditions were to worsen, a number of negative effects on our business could result, including declines in values of insurable exposure units, declines in insurance premium rates, the financial insolvency of insurance companies, the reduced ability of customers to pay, declines in the stock of residential housing or declines in property values. Also, if general economic conditions are poor, some of our customers may cease operations completely or be acquired by other companies, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. If these customers are affected by poor economic conditions, but yet remain in existence, they may face liquidity problems or other financial difficulties that could result in delays or defaults in payments owed to us, which could have a significant adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Any of these effects could decrease our net revenues and profitability.

36

Our business, and therefore our results of operations and financial condition, may be adversely affected by conditions that result in reduced insurer capacity.

Our results of operations depend on the continued capacity of insurance carriers to underwrite risk and provide coverage, which depends in turn on those insurance companies’ ability to procure reinsurance. Capacity could also be reduced by insurance companies failing or withdrawing from writing certain coverages that we offer to our customers. We have no control over these matters. To the extent that reinsurance becomes less widely available or significantly more expensive, we may not be able to procure the amount or types of coverage that our customers desire and the coverage we are able to procure for our customers may be more expensive or limited.

Quarterly and annual variations in our commissions that result from the timing of policy renewals and the net effect of new and lost business production may have unexpected effects on our results of operations.

Our commission income (including profit-sharing contingent commissions and override commissions) can vary quarterly or annually due to the timing of policy renewals and the net effect of new and lost business production. We do not control the factors that cause these variations. Specifically, customers’ demand for insurance products can influence the timing of renewals, new business and lost business (which includes policies that are not renewed), and cancellations. In addition, we rely on insurance companies for the payment of certain commissions. Because these payments are processed internally by these insurance companies, we may not receive a payment that is otherwise expected from a particular insurance company in a particular quarter or year until after the end of that period, which can adversely affect our ability to forecast these revenues and therefore budget for significant future expenditures. Quarterly and annual fluctuations in revenues based upon increases and decreases associated with the timing of new business, policy renewals and payments from insurance companies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Profit-sharing contingent commissions are special revenue-sharing commissions paid by insurance companies based upon the profitability, volume and/or growth of the business placed with such companies generally during the prior year. Over the last three years these commissions generally have been in the range of 3.0% to 3.5% of our previous year’s total core commissions and fees. Due to, among other things, potentially poor macroeconomic conditions, the inherent uncertainty of loss in our industry and changes in underwriting criteria due in part to the high loss ratios experienced by insurance companies, we cannot predict the payment of these profit-sharing contingent commissions. Further, we have no control over the ability of insurance companies to estimate loss reserves, which affects our ability to make profit-sharing calculations. Override commissions are paid by insurance companies based upon the volume of business that we place with them and are generally paid over the course of the year. Because profit-sharing contingent commissions and override commissions materially affect our revenues, any decrease in their payment to us could adversely affect our results of operations, profitability, and our financial condition.

Our business practices and compensation arrangements are subject to uncertainty due to potential changes in regulations.

The business practices and compensation arrangements of the insurance intermediary industry, including our practices and arrangements, are subject to uncertainty due to investigations by various governmental authorities. Certain of our offices are parties to profit-sharing contingent commission agreements with certain insurance companies, including agreements providing for potential payment of revenue-sharing commissions by insurance companies based primarily on the overall profitability of the aggregate business written with those insurance companies and/or additional factors such as retention ratios and the overall volume of business that an office or offices place with those insurance companies. Additionally, to a lesser extent, some of our offices are parties to override commission agreements with certain insurance companies, which provide for commission rates in excess of standard commission rates to be applied to specific lines of business, such as group health business, and which are based primarily on the overall volume of business that such office or offices placed with those insurance companies. The legislatures of various states may adopt new laws addressing contingent commission arrangements, including laws prohibiting such arrangements, and addressing disclosure of such arrangements to insureds. Various state departments of insurance may also adopt new regulations addressing these matters which could adversely affect our results of operations.

We may have unforeseen risks as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic

The spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the United States has resulted in economic uncertainties which may negatively impact the Company’s business operations. While the disruption is expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty surrounding the duration and extent of the impact. The impact of the coronavirus outbreak on the financial statements cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

37

Adverse events such as health-related concerns about working in our offices, the inability to travel and other matters affecting the general work environment could harm our business and our business strategy. While we do not anticipate any material impact to our business operations as a result of the coronavirus, in the event of a major disruption caused by the outbreak of pandemic diseases such as coronavirus, we may lose the services of our employees or experience system interruptions, which could lead to diminishment of our business operations. Any of the foregoing could harm our business and delay the implementation of our business strategy and we cannot anticipate all the ways in which the current global health crisis and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.

Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry and workforce.

Risk of lack of knowledge in distant geographic markets

Although the Company intends to focus its investments in locations with which we are generally familiar, the Company runs a risk of experiencing underwriting challenges or issues associated with a lack of familiarity in some markets. Each market has nuances and idiosyncrasies that affect values, marketability, desirability, and demand for individual assets that may not be easily understood from afar. While we believe we can effectively mitigate these risks in a myriad of ways, there is no guarantee that investments in any geographic market will perform as expected.

Potential liability or other expenditures associated with potential environmental contamination may be costly.

Various federal, state and local laws subject multifamily residential community owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain potentially hazardous materials that may be present in the land or buildings of a multifamily residential community. Potentially hazardous materials may include polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum-based fuels, lead-based paint or asbestos, among other materials. Such laws often impose liability without regard to fault or whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such materials. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remediate properly, these materials may adversely affect occupancy at such apartment communities as well as the ability to sell or finance such apartment communities. In addition, governmental agencies may bring claims for costs associated with investigation and remediation actions, damages to natural resources and for potential fines or penalties in connection with such damage or with respect to the improper management of hazardous materials. Moreover, private plaintiffs may potentially make claims for investigation and remediation costs they incur or personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities related to the alleged presence of hazardous materials at a multifamily residential community. In addition to potential environmental liabilities or costs associated with our current multifamily residential communities, we may also be responsible for such liabilities or costs associated with communities we acquire or manage in the future, or multifamily residential communities we no longer own or operate.

Laws benefiting disabled persons may result in our incurrence of unanticipated expenses.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”), all places intended to be used by the public are required to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (the “FHAA”) requires multifamily residential communities first occupied after March 13, 1991, to comply with design and construction requirements for disabled access. For those multifamily residential communities receiving federal funds, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 also has requirements regarding disabled access. These and other federal, state and local laws may require structural modifications to our apartment communities or changes in policy practice or affect renovations of the communities. Noncompliance with these laws could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants and also could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. Although we believe that our multifamily residential communities are substantially in compliance with present requirements, we may incur unanticipated expenses to comply with the ADA, the FHAA and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 in connection with the ongoing operation or redevelopment of our multifamily residential communities.

38

We compete in a highly regulated industry, which may result in increased expenses or restrictions on our operations.

We conduct business in several states of the United States of America and are subject to comprehensive regulation and supervision by government agencies in each of those states. The primary purpose of such regulation and supervision is to provide safeguards for policyholders rather than to protect the interests of our shareholders, and it is difficult to anticipate how changes in such regulation would be implemented and enforced. As a result, such regulation and supervision could reduce our profitability or growth by increasing compliance costs, technology compliance, restricting the products or services we may sell, the markets we may enter, the methods by which we may sell our products and services, or the prices we may charge for our services and the form of compensation we may accept from our customers, carriers and third parties. The laws of the various state jurisdictions establish supervisory agencies with broad administrative powers with respect to, among other things, licensing of entities to transact business, licensing of agents, admittance of assets, regulating premium rates, approving policy forms, regulating unfair trade and claims practices, determining technology and data protection requirements, establishing reserve requirements and solvency standards, requiring participation in guarantee funds and shared market mechanisms, and restricting payment of dividends. Also, in response to perceived excessive cost or inadequacy of available insurance, states have from time to time created state insurance funds and assigned risk pools, which compete directly, on a subsidized basis, with private insurance providers. We act as agents and brokers for such state insurance funds and assigned risk pools in Michigan as well as certain other states. These state funds and pools could choose to reduce the sales or brokerage commissions we receive. Any such reductions, in a state in which we have substantial operations could affect the profitability of our operations in such state or cause us to change our marketing focus. Further, state insurance regulators and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners continually re-examine existing laws and regulations, and such re-examination may result in the enactment of insurance-related laws and regulations, or the issuance of interpretations thereof, that adversely affect our business. Certain federal financial services modernization legislation could lead to additional federal regulation of the insurance industry in the coming years, which could result in increased expenses or restrictions on our operations. Other legislative developments that could adversely affect us include: changes in our business compensation model as a result of regulatory developments (for example, the Affordable Care Act); and federal and state governments establishing programs to provide health insurance or, in certain cases, property insurance in catastrophe-prone areas or other alternative market types of coverage, that compete with, or completely replace, insurance products offered by insurance carriers. Also, as climate change issues become more prevalent, the U.S. and foreign governments are beginning to respond to these issues. This increasing governmental focus on climate change may result in new environmental regulations that may negatively affect us and our customers. This could cause us to incur additional direct costs in complying with any new environmental regulations, as well as increased indirect costs resulting from our customers incurring additional compliance costs that get passed on to us. These costs may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

Although we believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations, there can be no assurance that more restrictive laws, rules, regulations or interpretations thereof, will not be adopted in the future that could make compliance more difficult or expensive.

Risks Related to Investing in our Securities

We may experience volatility in our stock price that could affect your investment.

The market price of our common stock may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to various factors, including: quarterly fluctuations in our operating results; changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our future earnings; changes in securities analysts’ predictions regarding the short-term and long-term future of our industry; changes to the tax code; and our loss of significant customers or significant business developments relating to us or our competitors. Our common stock’s market price also may be affected by our inability to meet stock analysts’ earnings and other expectations. Any failure to meet such expectations, even if minor, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. In addition, stock markets have generally experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of equity securities of many listed companies have experienced wide price fluctuations not necessarily related to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect our common stock’s market price. In the past, securities class action lawsuits frequently have been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of such companies’ securities. If any such litigation is initiated against us, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, financial conditionor cash flows, and cash flows.accordingly, no legal contingencies are accrued as of September 30, 2022. Litigation relating to the insurance brokerage industry is not uncommon. As such we, from time to time have been, subject to such litigation. No assurances can be given with respect to the extent or outcome of any such litigation in the future.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company’s CEO has a controlling

Investing in our common stock equity interest.involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the information disclosed in Part I, Item1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

At May 13, 2021, our CEO, Ezra Beyman, isOur failure to meet the beneficial ownercontinued listing requirements of approximately 50.324% of the common stock, consisting of 5,500,165 common shares. As of March 31, 2021, the outstanding amount of the loan from Reliance Holdings to us, isThe Nasdaq Capital Market could result in the amount of approximately $733,573. As such he has the ability to control any actions which require shareholder approval. If there is an annual or special meeting of stockholders for any reason, our CEO has total discretion regarding proposals submitted to a vote by shareholders as a consequence of his significant equity interest. Accordingly, the Company’s CEO will continue to exert substantial control until such time, if ever, that he no longer has majority voting control.

Under our credit agreements with Oak Street, the Company has agreed that at all times that the loans are outstanding: (i) Ezra Beyman, our chief executive officer, Debra Beyman, Mr. Beyman’s wife, or Yaakov Beyman, son of Mr. and Ms. Beyman, or someone else approved by Oak Street, as applicable, will be the manager of the current subsidiaries of the Company, (ii) Mr. Ezra Beyman will be President and Chairperson of the Board of the Company, and (iii) Reliance Holdings, of which Mr. and Ms. Beyman are the sole owners, will continue to hold at least 51% of the Company’s equity.

Broad discretion of management

Any person who invests in the Company’s common stock will do so without an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any prospective acquisition. As a result, investors will be entirely dependent on the broad discretion and judgment of management in connection with the selection of acquisitions. There can be no assurance that determinations made by the Company’s management will permit us to achieve the Company’s business objectives.

Future sales or other dilution of our equity could adversely affect the market pricedelisting of our common stock.

We grow our business organically as well as through acquisitions. One method of acquiring companies or otherwise Companying our corporate activities is through the issuance of additional equity securities. The issuance of any additional shares of common or of preferred stock or convertible securities could be substantially dilutive to holders of our common stock. Moreover, to the extent that we issue restricted stock units, performance stock units, options or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in the future and those options or warrants are exercised or as the restricted stock units or performance stock units vest, our stockholders may experience further dilution. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights that entitle holders to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series and, therefore, such sales or offerings could result in increased dilution to our stockholders.

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of shares of our common stock or the perception that such sales could occur.

The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, and this may make it difficult for you to resell shares of common stock owned by you at times or at prices you find attractive.

The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, including the risk factors described above many of which are outside our control. In addition, the stock market is subject to fluctuations in the share prices and trading volumes that affect the market prices of the shares of many companies. These broad market fluctuations have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:

General economic and political conditions such as recessions, economic downturns and acts of war or terrorism;
Quarterly variations in our operating results;
Seasonality of our business cycle;
Changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results;
Our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;
Changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning us or the insurance brokerage or financial services industries in general;
Operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;
News reports relating to trends in our markets, including any expectations regarding an upcoming “hard” or “soft” market;
Cyberattacks and other cybersecurity incidents;
Changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;
Material announcements by us or our competitors;

The impact or perceived impact of developments relating to our investments, including the possible perception by securities analysts or investors that such investments divert management attention from our core operations;
Market volatility;
A negative market reaction to announced acquisitions;
Competitive pressures in each of our segments;
General conditions in the insurance brokerage and insurance industries;
Legal proceedings or regulatory investigations;
Regulatory requirements, including international sanctions and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 or other anti-corruption laws; or
Sales of substantial amounts of common shares by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur.

Stockholder class action lawsuits may be instituted against us following a period of volatility in our stock price. Any such litigation could result in substantial cost and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

We can provide no assurance that our common stock or the warrants will always meet the Nasdaq Capital Market continued listing standards.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the Nasdaq. We can provide no assurance that that an active trading market on the Nasdaq Capital Market for our common stock and the warrants will develop and continue. If our common stock remains quoted on or reverts to an over-the-counter system rather than being listed on a national securities exchange, you may find it more difficult to dispose of shares of our common stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock.

Possible issuance of additional securities.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.086 per share. As of March 31, 2021 we had 10,929,514 shares issued and outstanding. We may be expected to issue additional shares in connection with our pursuit of new business opportunities and new business operations. To the extent that additional shares of common stock are issued, our shareholders would experience dilution of their respective ownership interests.currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If we issue sharesfail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of common stock in connection with our intentThe Nasdaq Capital Market, such as the corporate governance requirements, minimum bid price requirement or the minimum stockholder’s equity requirement, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC may take steps to pursue new business opportunities, a change in control of the Company may be expected to occur. The issuance of additional shares of common stock may adversely affect the market price ofdelist our common stock, in the event that an active trading market commences.

Dividends unlikely.

The Company does not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends will be contingent upon the Company’s future revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and overall financial conditions. The payment of any future dividends will be within the discretion of the Company’s board of directors as then constituted. It is the Company’s expectation that future Management followingstock. Any delisting would likely have a business combination will determine to retain any earnings for use in its business operations and accordingly, the Company does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Speculative Nature of Warrants.

The warrants offered in our February 2021 offering do not confer any rights of common stock ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of our common stock at a fixed price for a limited period of time. Specifically, commencingnegative effect on the date of issuance, holders of the Series A Warrants may exercise their right to acquire the common stock and pay an exercise price of $6.60 per share (110% of the public offering price of our common stock and warrants in this offering), priorwould impair stockholders’ ability to five yearssell or purchase their common stock when they wish to do so.

On September 27, 2022, we received written notice from the dateListing Qualifications Department of issuance, afterThe Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying us that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (August 15, 2022 through September 26, 2022), our common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our common stock which datewill continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “RELI”. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we initially have a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until March 27, 2023, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules. Compliance can be achieved automatically and without further action if the closing bid price of our common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any unexercised warrantstime during the compliance period, in which case Nasdaq will expirenotify us of our compliance and have no further value. Moreover, following this offering, the matter will be closed. If, however, we do not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by March 27, 2023, we may be eligible for additional time to comply; however, such additional time is not guaranteed and is subject to the discretion of Nasdaq. In order to be eligible for such additional time, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the warrants is uncertainexception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and theremust notify Nasdaq in writing of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period

We intend to attempt to take actions to restore our compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, but we can beprovide no assurance that the market value of the warrants will equalany action taken by us would result in our common stock meeting The Nasdaq listing requirements, or exceed their public offering price. There can be no assurance that any such action would stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock. Any perception that we may not regain compliance or a delisting of our common stock by Nasdaq could adversely affect our ability to attract new investors, decrease the liquidity of the outstanding shares of our common stock, will ever equal or exceedreduce the exercise price at which such shares trade and increase the transaction costs inherent in trading such shares with overall negative effects for our stockholder. In addition, delisting of the warrants, and consequently, whether it will ever be profitable for holders of the warrants to exercise the warrants.

State blue sky registration; potential limitations on resale of the Company’s common stock

The holders of the Company’s shares ofour common stock registered under the Exchange Actfrom Nasdaq could deter broker-dealers from making a market in or otherwise seeking or generating interest in our common stock, and thosemight deter certain institutions and persons who desire to purchase themfrom investing in any trading market that may develop in the future, should be aware that there may be state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell the Company’s securities. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for the Company’s securities to be a limited one.our common stock.
