FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes a number of forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These statements are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, us as of the date hereof, as well as estimates and assumptions made by us. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used herein, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks relating to our business, industry, and our operations and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include statements about:

● our ability to achieve and sustain profitability of our existing lines of business and through our wholly owned subsidiaries;
our ability to raise sufficient capital to continue to acquire cybersecurity companies;
our ability to attract and retain cybersecurity talent;
our ability to identify potential acquisition targets within predetermined parameters;
our ability to successfully execute acquisitions, integrate the acquired businesses, and create synergies as a global cybersecurity consolidator;
our ability to attract and retain key technology or management personnel and to expand our management team;
the rate of growth and anticipated trends and challenges in our business and in the market for our services;
our future financial performance, including our expectations regarding our revenue, cost of revenue, operating expenses, and our ability to achieve and maintain future profitability;
sufficiency of cash and cash equivalent to meet our needs for at least the next 12 months;
our ability to attract and retain clients;
our ability to generate revenue and gross profit;
our ability to navigate through the increasingly complex cybersecurity regulatory environment;
beliefs and objectives for future operations;
our ability to stay in compliance with laws and regulations currently applicable to, or which may become applicable to, our business both in the United States and internationally;
economic and industry trends or trend analysis; and
anticipated income tax rates, tax estimates and tax standards.

Such statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks relating to our business, industry, and our operations and results of operations. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this report may not occur, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those implied in our forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or events and circumstances described in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof.

Property and EquipmentInventory

 

PropertyInventory consists of software licenses and computer equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciationfor sale to customers. Inventory is computedmeasured using the straight-linefirst-in, first-out method overand stated at lower of cost or net realizable value as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The value of inventories is reduced for excess and obsolete inventories. We monitor inventory to identify events that would require impairment due to obsolete inventory and adjust the estimated useful livesvalue of the related assets, generally between three and five years. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of the assets are capitalized and depreciated. Computer equipment costsinventory when required. We recorded 0 inventory impairment losses for the Company are capitalized, as incurred, and depreciated on a straight-line basis over three years. TalaTek capitalizes all equipment costs over $5,000 and depreciates these costs on a straight-line basis over three years.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in results of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation, to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021, the Company did not record a loss on impairment.

Intangible Assets

The Company records its intangible assets at cost in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill2022 and Other. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, which is determined by identifying the period over which the cash flows from the asset are expected to be generated.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquired business over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually at year end, at the reporting unit level or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using market and discounted cash flow approaches. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The discounted cash flow approach uses expected future operating results. Failure to achieve these expected results may cause a future impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level (See Note 6).

Advertising and Marketing Costs

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses were $254,026 and $30,488 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are recorded in operating expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advertising and marketing expenses were $471,721 and $104,058 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are recorded in operating expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.2021.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level(Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level(Level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.

 

Level 1:Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
  
Level 2:Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
  
Level 3:Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for nonrecurring fair value measurements of long-lived assets include pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All vestedFor dilutive securities, all outstanding options are considered potentially outstanding common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options is calculated using the treasury stock method. All outstanding convertible notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, the options and shares issuable upon conversion thereof have been excluded from the Company’sour computation of net loss per common share for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

The following tables summarize the securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive due to the Company’sour net loss position even though the exercise price could be less than the average market price of the common shares:

Stock-based Compensation

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the statements of operations.

For stock options issued to employees and members of the board of directors for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised. Due to the Company’s limited history and lack of public trading volume for its common stock, the Company used the average of historical share prices of similar companies within its industry to calculate volatility for use in the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance with ASC 718. The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions to value stock options that are in line with the process for valuing employee stock options noted above.

LeasesDeferred Revenue

 

LeasesDeferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received from customers in whichadvance of revenue recognized for the Companyservices provided to our customers or annual licenses and is recognized as services are performed or ratably over the lessee are comprised of corporate offices and property and equipment. Alllife of the leases are classifiedlicense. We generally invoice customers in advance or in milestone-based installments. Deferred revenue of $52,824 was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which was included in the deferred revenue balance as operating leases. The Company leases multiple office spaces with a remaining weighted average term of 1.17 years. The Company leases a vehicle with a remaining termDecember 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, deferred revenue related to such customer payments was $0.672,351,477 years., all of which is expected to be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period and is therefore presented as current.

 

In accordance with ASC 842, Leases,Deferred revenue consisted of the Company recognized a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and corresponding lease liability on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for long-term office leases and a vehicle operating lease agreement.

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

12

The Company utilizesWe utilize ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company accountsWe account for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s2021, our net deferred tax asset has been fully reserved.

 

For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizeswe recognize the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’sOur practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations when a determination is made that such expense is likely.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-03, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). ASU 2021-03 requires an entity to identify and evaluate goodwill impairment triggering events when they occur to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit (or entity, if the entity has elected the accounting alternative for amortizing goodwill and chosen that option) is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the goodwill is impaired. It must test goodwill for impairment using the triggering event date as the measurement date. An entity is required to disclose the amount assigned to goodwill in total and by major business combination, or by reorganization event resulting in fresh-start reporting. Also, the entity must disclose the weighted average amortization period in total and the amortization period by major business combination, or by reorganization event resulting in fresh-start reporting. ASU 2021-03 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2021 and did not have a significant impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU requires issuers to account for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after the modification or exchange based on the economic substance of the modification or exchange. Under the ASU, an issuer determines the accounting for the modification or exchange based on whether the transaction was done to issue equity, to issue or modify debt, or for other reasons. The ASU is applied prospectively and is effective for the Companyus for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2022, and management noted that there is no material impact to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The Companynew guidance requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in business combinations to be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606 as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. The ASU is applied prospectively and is effective for us for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting this standard will have on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Creatrix, Inc.

On June 1, 2022, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with the stockholders of Creatrix, pursuant to which Creatrix became our wholly owned subsidiary. We anticipate that this will expand our professional services offerings and capabilities. Creatrix offers recognized expertise in identity management as wells as systems integration and software engineering and specializes in biometrics, vetting, credentialing, and case management.

Subsequent to the issuance of these financial statements, we expect to obtain a third-party valuation on the fair value of the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets and the liabilities assumed for use in the purchase price allocation.

The aggregate purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimate fair values as of the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill. During the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from closing, we will continue to obtain information to assist us in finalizing the acquisition date fair values. Any qualifying changes to our preliminary estimates will be recorded as adjustments to the respective assets and liabilities, with any residual amounts allocated to goodwill.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Maxim Settlement Agreement

On October 27, 2020, we entered into an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to certain compensation obligations in the form of our common stock, cash and future rights. Certain disputes arose between the parties regarding the duties and obligations pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, resulting in the parties entering into a settlement and release agreement on January 13, 2022. As a result, we recorded a settlement liability at December 31, 2021 of $470,000 and issued 400,000 shares of our common stock to Maxim, pursuant to the settlement. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we paid $470,000 in cash.

Legal Claims

 

There are no material pending legal proceedings in which the Companywe or any of itsour subsidiaries is a party or in which any director, officerof our directors, officers or affiliate of the Company,affiliates, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of itsour voting securities, or security holder is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.

Indirect Taxes

We are subject to indirect taxation in some, but not all, of the Company.various states and foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Laws and regulations attempting to subject commerce conducted over the Internet to various indirect taxes are becoming more prevalent, both in the U.S. and internationally, and may impose additional burdens on us in the future. Increased regulation could negatively affect our business directly, as well as the business of our customers. Taxing authorities may impose indirect taxes on the Internet-related revenue we generated based on regulations currently being applied to similar, but not directly comparable industries. There are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate indirect tax determination is uncertain. In addition, domestic and international indirect taxation laws are complex and subject to change. We may be audited in the future, which could result in changes to our indirect tax estimates. We continually evaluate those jurisdictions in which nexus exists, and believe we maintain adequate indirect tax accruals.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our accrual for estimated indirect tax liabilities was $633,672 and $99,088, respectively, reflecting our best estimate of the potential liability based on an analysis of our business activities, revenues subject to indirect taxes, and applicable regulations. Although we believe our indirect tax estimates and associated liabilities are reasonable, the final determination of indirect tax audits, litigation, or settlements could be materially different than the amounts established for indirect tax contingencies.

Our BusinessSecond Quarter 2022 Highlights

The cyber security industry has a supply and demand issue; there is more demand for cyber security services than expert and seasoned compliance and cybersecurity professionals available in the market. We are a cybersecurity and compliance company comprised of highly trained and seasoned security professionals who work with clients to enhance or create a better cyber posture in their organization. We seek to identify, attract, and retain highly skilled cyber and compliance teams and bring them together to provide holistic cyber services. This is accomplished through acquisitions, direct hiring and incentivizing employees with stock options to help retain them. On an ongoing basis, we seek to identify cyber talent that is culturally aligned and that offers operating leverage through both existing customer revenue and relationships. We have invested in enterprise solutions and executive talent to integrate our different organizations into an ecosystem that works together to provide complete and holistic cybersecurity through cross pollination of solutions. The ecosystem is intended to provide additional revenue opportunities and drive overall recurring revenue.

We emphasize to clients the critical nature of having their work force create a continuously aware security culture. Once engaged, we strive to become the trusted advisors for customers’ cybersecurity and compliance needs by providing tailored security solutions based upon their organizational needs. We do not focus on the selling of cybersecurity products; we are product agnostic so that we can provide solutions that fit customers’ security needs, financial realities, and future strategy. Our approach is to evaluate clients’ organizations holistically, identify compliance requirements, and help secure the infrastructure while helping to create a culture of security.

We provide a full range of cybersecurity services, encompassing all pillars of cybersecurity, compliance, and culture, including Secured Managed Services, Compliance Services, SOC Services, Virtual CISO (vCISO) Services, Incident Response, Certified Forensics, Technical Assessments, and Cybersecurity Training. We believe that culture is the foundation of every successful cybersecurity and compliance program. To deliver that outcome, we developed our unique offering of MCCP+, which is the only holistic solution that provides all three of these pillars under one roof from a dedicated team of subject matter experts. In contrast to the majority of cybersecurity firms that are focused on a specific technology or service, we seek to differentiate ourselves by remaining technology agnostic, focusing on accumulating highly-sought after topic experts. We continually identify and acquire cyber security talent to expand our service scope and geographical coverage to provide the best possible service for our clients. We believe that bringing together a world-class team of technological experts with multi-faceted expertise in the critical aspects of cybersecurity is key to providing technology agnostic solutions to our clients in a business environment that has suffered from a chronic lack of highly-skilled professionals, thereby setting us apart from competitors and in-house security teams. Our goal is to create a culture of security and to help quantify, define and capture a return on investment (ROI) from information technology and cybersecurity spending. Our brand rallies around the battle cry: “Cybersecurity is a Culture, not a Product.”

24

Offering this set of cybersecurity services allows us to capture more revenue with greater efficiency, facilitating greater profitability and stronger customer retention. The benefit to our customers is that they receive an efficient engagement from a single provider that covers a wide range of their needs. This means their challenges are addressed more thoroughly and problems are resolved more rapidly when compared to working with multiple vendors. This leads to the best possible outcome which enables them to commit to us for the long term.

We believe that our business model is differentiated from other companies in the industry in that our employees are not consultants; they’re dedicated partners available on a recurring monthly contract. Due to the numerous challenges in hiring experienced cybersecurity and compliance professionals, we believe that assimilating our team of industry and subject matter experts into our clients’ teams is the ideal solution.

We are technology agnostic. Whereas, most cybersecurity firms are locked into working with a single technology, we seek to differentiate ourselves by remaining technology agnostic. This approach enables us to work with any business, no matter what systems or tools they use. For our customers the benefit is equally valuable; they’re able to choose the best tools and technology for their business needs without affecting their relationship with us.

We believe that building a world-class technology team with industry-specific and subject-matter expertise is the key to providing cutting-edge solutions to our clients. We aim to continue to identify and acquire cybersecurity talent to expand our scope of services and geographical footprint to fortify our capability to deliver excellence to our customers. Furthermore, our commitment is that we will stay a step ahead of threat actors and regulatory obligations to keep our customers safe and compliant.

Our Service Offering

We currently offer two major types of services to clients including Security Managed Services and Professional Services.

25

Security Managed Services

Our Security Managed Services deliver an end-to-end solution to cybersecurity and compliance needs. We begin with a gap analysis of our customers’ existing cybersecurity and compliance practices. Next, we perform penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and a best practices assessment. This culminates with a deliverable report outlining failures and risks and includes a remediation roadmap organized based on highest-value opportunities and critical necessities. This prioritized approach utilizesoperating results for the maxi-min strategy to optimize our customers’ budget; something that comes from decades of experiential wisdom. Using this roadmap, our team performs remediation and change implementation throughout a customer’s business. This is followed by our culture program that delivers cybersecurity and compliance awareness training, risk reporting, and periodic knowledge verification. We cover every area of our customers’ businesses and engage with every member of their team. This is our end-to-end holistic approach that we believe leaves no stone unturned to ensure our customers are truly safe, secure, and compliant.

We offer multiple services in the Security Managed Services portfolio includingthree months ended June 30, 2022 included the following:

 

Compliance: Our compliance practice ensures the customers are implementing the right controls, properly prioritizing risks, and investing in the appropriate remediation, so our customers can achieve compliance, adhere to industry standards and guidelines, and manage continuous monitoring over time. We provide the combination of integrated processes and systems, experienced staff, and innovative technology to help our customers meet those goals. Our seasoned experts possess the stringent industry certifications and accreditations that prove they understand security compliance regulations, frameworks, and controls. Our deep knowledge of these rigorous and unique requirements means we can offer a thorough, timely assessment that will identify residual risk within the customer’s information system. We then propose mitigation strategies to manage the customer’s risk effectively. As an authorized FedRAMP vendor ourselves, we bring an insider’s perspective to the process in the following standards:

Secured Managed Services: Cybersecurity companies who may excel at pointing out vulnerabilities or configuration issues, we have experts with the capability to resolve fix them. Our team has extensive experience in remediating security issues in a holistic fashion, to quickly effect change at organization scale. We know our customers’ teams are busy enough as is, so we offload the burden of addressing the dozens or hundreds of remediation items that may come from a security review, penetration test, or incident response project. Our remediation services resolve vulnerabilities that may expose risk to, or have caused, unwanted conditions or outcomes. Examples of issues that Cerberus Sentinel remediate include writing new or more effective policies, rearchitecting computer networks to minimize attack surface, implementing high security password requirements and multi-factor authentication, applying missing security patches that expose an organization to security attack, or correcting misconfigurations that can lead to unauthorized access such as a user being granted overly broad permissions. Our remediation services provide customers with a mature methodology for the heavy lifting needed to ensure that implementing solutions to minimize security risk are done safely, efficiently, and correctly the first time.

● SOC Managed Services: We offer SOC-as-a-service, which is a subscription-based service that manages and monitors client’s’ logs, devices, clouds, network, and assets for possible cyber threats. This lets our service provide the clients with the knowledge and skills necessary to combat cybersecurity threats.

vCISO Service: Corporations are in need of cybersecurity services but many do not have the capital resources or knowledge base to hire a Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”). We offer this service to companies on an ongoing managed service basis as a resource to augment their management team. vCISO includes road mapping the future state for the client and providing our knowledgeable expertise to help them achieve their security needs.

Professional Services

Our advisory services include a wide array of tailored solutions for organizations of all sizes. Our in-depth and uniquely acquired industry expertise allows us to act as a trusted advisor of our clients to help them lower their risk profile, minimize cost impact to organizations and meet regulatory compliance demands. We specialize in:

Incident Response and Forensics: This is where we focus on identification, investigation, and remediation of cyberattacks.

Technical Assessments: We specialize in advanced cyber security assessments that highlight the skills and experience of our team’s top-tier talent. Our customers benefit from our routine identification of issues based on our emphasis on real-world manual testing techniques and custom exploit development to uncover new avenues of attack. We believe that our approach to penetration testing services strikes the perfect equilibrium between cost, time and results. Our team of highly skilled testers utilize the same tools and techniques a malicious cybercriminal would use to try to gain unauthorized access to highly-guarded corporate systems and data to evaluate technical controls and quantify business risks in a meaningful way. This level of analysis provides business leaders the knowledge required to not only understand the impact a successful attack might have on their business operations, but also can validate the effectiveness of existing security controls and justify additional security related investment.

Training: This targets the root cause for 75% of cyber breach events by starting with a culture of security-first forward thinking. Our security awareness training can prevent a catastrophic cyberattack before it even occurs by equipping users with the tools and techniques required to spot a potential cyberattack in the early stages.

27

Other Cybersecurity Services:

Cybersecurity Road Mapping: Bringing the culture of cybersecurity to client’s leadership team and penetrating throughout the organization is a critical first step of building any successful cybersecurity system. Through our consulting service, we dive into both the cultural and technical aspects of cybersecurity within the organization, providing meaningful recommendations to improve cybersecurity posture immediately. We help our clients build effective policies and best practices, design or enhance a cybersecurity system and train the executive management team to foster a top-down culture of cybersecurity in order to facilitate diligent implementation of cybersecurity awareness.

Gap and Risk Assessment: Threat actors probe and exploit the weakest points in an organization, it doesn’t matter if a business has done 100 things right when one mistake can be catastrophic. Cerberus Sentinel combines decades of security expertise and in-depth knowledge of how cyberattackers operate to deliver a thorough security risk gap analysis that identifies real world threats and issues guidance for protection. We first familiarize ourselves with the customer’s environment, business model, operations, and business drivers to best determine a customer’s cybersecurity posture in an ever evolving threat landscape. We then use our advanced threat intelligence, data breach experience, and analytics to accurately assess the customers unique cybersecurity risk based on their “as is” state. We then operate with a holistic mindset, considering every link in the cybersecurity chain from people, processes, and technology, to determine their ideal “to be” state, aligned with their business goals, compliance requirements, and risk tolerance. Finally, we collaboratively devise and develop a strategic cybersecurity plan that takes into account critical priorities to effectively reduce cybersecurity risk by closing the gap between their “as is” and “to be” states. This comprehensive awareness of internal systems and policies provides our customers with a clear understanding of their overall risk as well as the strategies and tools they need to protect their most valuable assets: their data and brand reputation.

LossLiquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on write-offthe basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of accounts receivable remained relatively consistent duringassets and satisfying liabilities in the ninenormal course of business. At June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $59,382,049 and working capital deficit of $768,309. For the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 as compared2022, we had a loss from operations of $15,369,627 and negative cash flows from operations of $3,574,474. Although we are showing positive revenue, gross profit is trending negatively primarily due to increased stock compensation related to sales activity. We expect to incur further losses through the nineend of 2022.

To date we have funded operations primarily through the sale of equity in private placements, debt, and revenue generated by our services. During the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2022, we received $9,521,798 from our public offering of our common stock, $5,975,000 in net proceeds from our bridge loans, and $277,712 from the exercise of stock options. On June 27, 2022, our Registration Statement on Form S-3 was declared effective, and we may offer and sell from time to time, in one or more series, any of our securities, for total gross proceeds up to $300,000,000. As of June 30, 2022, we had not sold any securities under our S-3 Registration Statement.

We believe that we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our requirements for at least the next 12 months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations.

Our future capital requirements, both near-term and long-term, will depend on many factors, in addition to our recurring operating expenses, including our growth rate, the continued expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced products and service offerings, and the costs of any future acquisitions in complementary businesses and technologies. To the extent existing cash and cash equivalents are not sufficient to fund future activities, we will seek to raise additional funds through equity, equity-linked, or debt financings. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to our existing stockholders. We may enter into agreements or letters of intent with respect to potential investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, services, or technologies, which could also require us to seek additional equity financing, incur indebtedness, or use cash resources. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, or if we cannot expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities because we lack sufficient capital, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Liquidity

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and satisfying liabilities in the normal course of business. At September 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $11,013,000 and working capital surplus of approximately $646,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had a loss from operations of approximately $6,920,000 and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $4,312,000. Although the Company is showing positive revenues and gross profit trends, the Company expects to incur further losses through the end of 2021.

32

To date the Company has been funding operations primarily through the sale of equity in private placements and revenues generated by the Company’s services. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company received $3,250,000 from private placements of the Company’s common stock.

Based on its current cash resources and commitments, the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development and corresponding level of expenditure for at least twelve months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, although no assurance can be given that it will not need additional funds prior to such time.

Effects of Inflation

 

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, revenuesrevenue, or operating results during the periods presented.

 

SignificantCritical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our significantcritical accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021.April 15, 2022.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Our significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, and the valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets. Certain of our estimates, including the carrying amount of intangible assets and goodwill, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to us and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on our estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

26

Fair Value Measurement

 

The fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in the valuation of an asset or liability. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance are described below:

 

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or

 

Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

Business Combination

 

The Company allocatesWe allocate the purchase price of an acquired business to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets. Direct transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. The Company includesWe include the results of operations of the business that it haswe have acquired in itsour consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition.

33

 

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss.

 

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are comprised of trademarks, customer bases, non-compete agreements, and intellectual property with original estimated useful lives with a range of 2 to 10 years. Once placed into service, we amortize the cost of intangible assets over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquired business over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually at year end at the reporting unit level or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using market and discounted cash flow approaches. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The discounted cash flow approach uses expected future operating results. Failure to achieve these expected results may cause a future impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit.

 

27

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

We will periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review and at least annually. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

We measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’sOur agreements with its clients are primarily service contracts that range in duration from a few months to one year. The Company recognizesWe recognize revenue when control of these services is transferred to the client for an amount, referred to as the transaction price, which reflects the consideration to which the Company iswe are expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

 

A contract with a client exists only when:

 

the parties to the contract have approved it and are committed to perform their respective obligations;
the Companywe can identify each party’s rights regarding the distinct services to be transferred (“performance obligations”);
the Companywe can determine the transaction price for the services to be transferred; and
the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable that the Companywe will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the client.

 

For the majority of itsour contracts, the Company receiveswe receive non-refundable upfront payments. The Company doesWe do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since the Company expects,we expect, at contract inception, that the period between the time of transfer of the promised goods or services to the client and the time the client pays for these goods or services to be generally one year or less. The Company’sOur credit terms to clients generally average thirty30 days, although in some cases payments are required in 15 days.

 

The Company doesWe do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with original expected duration of one year or less.

 

Our revenue is categorized and disaggregated as reflected in our statement of operations as follows:

Practical Expedients

As part of ASC 606, the Company has adopted several practical expedients including the following: (i) the Company has determined that it need not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects oftechnical assessments, incident response and forensics, training, and other cybersecurity services. We considered these services to be a significant financing component since the Company expects, at contract inception, thatsingle performance obligation, and revenue is recognized in the period between when the Company transfers a promised service to the customer and when the customer pays for that service will be one year or less and (ii) the Company recognizes any incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

Reimbursed Expenses

The Company includes reimbursed expenses in revenues and costs of revenue as the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified service, including the integration of the related services into a combined output to the client, which are inseparable from the integrated service. These costs include such items as consumables, transportation and travel expenses, over which the Company has discretion in establishing prices.

35

Costs of Revenue

Costs of revenue include (i) compensation and benefits for billable employees and consultants directly involved with delivering services offerings and engagements; (ii) consumables used for the services; and (iii) other expenses directly related to service contracts such as professional services, meals and travel expenses.

Volatility in Stock-Based Compensation

The volatility is based on historical volatilities of companies in comparable stages as well as the historical volatility of companies in the industry and, by statistical analysis of the daily share-pricing model. The volatility of stock-based compensation at any point in time is based on historical volatility of similar companies in the industry for the last two to five years.performance obligations are satisfied.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not Applicable. AsBecause we are a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information requiredcalled for by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))Act) that are designed to ensureprovide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design ofrecognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

36

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness(es)weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below. Thus there remains a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. This does not include an evaluation by our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we cannot provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, to allow our principal financial and executive officers to make timely decisions regarding required disclosures as of June 30, 2022.

Our management’s evaluation was based on the following material weaknesses in our annual reportinternal control over financial reporting which, existed as of December 31, 2021 and which continue to exist, as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021:

Lack of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks in a timely manner; and
Lack of documentation on policies and procedures that are critical to the accomplishment of financial reporting objectives.

29

A material weakness is a control deficiency or combination of control deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a company with limited accounting resources, a significant amount of management’s time and attention has been and will be diverted from our business to ensure compliance with these regulatory requirements.

 

Our managementManagement’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weaknesses

We are implementing measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions planned include:

Identifying gaps in our skills base and the expertise of our staff required to meet the financial reporting requirements of a public company; and
Developing policies and procedures on internal control over financial reporting and monitoring the effectiveness of operations on existing controls and procedures.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the relevance of our risk-based approach and the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis, and iswe are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.in accordance with financial and budgetary considerations.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, our additional finance and accounting staff that we hired in the first quarter of this year continued to positively impact our segregation of duties. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we established an audit committee.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2021,2022, other than those noted above, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are currently not involved ina party to any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.legal proceedings.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors included

Economic conditions in the U.S and international economies may adversely impact our business operating on operating results.

We have disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” section ofin our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as2021, filed with the SEC on March 31,April 15, 2022, risk factors that materially affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed, except as follows:

General macro-economic conditions, such as a rise in interest rates, inflation in the cost of goods and services including labor, a recession or an economic slowdown in the United States or internationally, including as a result of continuing uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic or the Russia-Ukraine military conflict, could adversely affect demand for our services and make it difficult to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities. U.S. and global markets have recently been experiencing volatility and disruption due to new interest rate and inflation increases as well as the continued escalation of geopolitical tensions. For example, inflation in the United States began to rise in the second half of 2021 and has continued to rise in additionthe first half of 2022. Although our business has not yet been materially negatively impacted by such inflationary pressures, we cannot be certain that neither we nor our customers will be materially impacted by continued pressures. Additionally, on February 24, 2022, Russian troops engaged in a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, it could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions. Additionally, the military conflict in Ukraine has led to sanctions and other information contained in those reportspenalties being levied by the United States, European Union and in this quarterly report in evaluatingother countries against Russia, and other potential sanctions and penalties have also been proposed and/or threatened. Russian military actions and the Company and its business before purchasing shares of our common stock. The Company’s business, operating resultsresulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial conditionmarkets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets, potentially making it more difficult for us to obtain additional funds. We do not have employees or facilities in Russia or Ukraine, nor do we have customers and contractors in these locations. Our business has not yet been materially negatively impacted by this military conflict to date. However, we cannot be certain that this will not impact our position in the credit market or our ability to acquire cybersecurity businesses in the short and long term.

To the extent conditions in the domestic and global economy change, our business could be harmed as current and potential customers may reduce or postpone spending or choose not to purchase or renew our services, which they may consider discretionary. If our customers face decreased consumer demand, increased regulatory burdens, or more limited access to international markets, we may face a decline in the demand for our services and our operating results could be adversely affected due to any of those risks.impacted.
