Company Organization

Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. was original incorporated under the name LandStar, Inc. as a Nevada corporation on May 4, 1998, for the purpose of purchasing, developing, and reselling real property, with its principal focus on the development of raw land. From incorporation through December 31, 1998, LandStar had no business operations and was a development-stage company. LandStar did not purchase or develop any properties and decided to change its business plan and operations. On March 31, 1999, the Company acquired approximately 98.5% of the common stock of Rebound Rubber Corp. pursuant to a share exchange agreement with Rebound Rubber Corp. (“Rebound Rubber”) and substantially all of Rebound Rubber’s shareholders. The acquisition was effected by issuing 14,500,100 shares of common stock, which constituted 14.5% of the 100,000,000 authorized shares of LandStar, and 50.6% of the 28,622,100 issued and outstanding shares on completion of the acquisition (all numbers are pre-reverse split). The acquisition was treated for accounting purposes as a continuation of Rebound Rubber under the LandStar capital structure. If viewed from a non-consolidated perspective, on March 31, 1999 LandStar issued 14,500,100 shares for the acquisition of the outstanding shares of Rebound Rubber.

The share exchange with Rebound Rubber (and other transactions occurring in March 1999) resulted in a change of control of LandStar and the appointment of new officers and directors of the Company. These transactions also redefined the focus of the Company on the development and exploitation of the technology to de-vulcanize and reactivate recycled rubber for resale as a raw material in the production of new rubber products. The Company’s business strategy was to sell the de-vulcanized material (and compounds using the materials) to manufacturers of rubber products.

Prior to 2001 the Company had no revenues. In 2001 and 2002 revenues were derived from management services rendered to a rubber recycling company.

In August 2001 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to authorize 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value; and, 150,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value. Preferred shares could be designated into specific classes and issued by action of the Company’s Board of Directors. In May 2008 the Company’s Board established a class of Convertible Preferred Series A (the “Series A”), authorizing 10,000,000 shares. The Series A provided for, among other things, (i) each share of Series A was convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; and, (ii) a holder of Series A was entitled to vote 1,000 shares of common stock for each share of Series A on all matters submitted to a vote by shareholders.

In September 2008 the Company amended its Articles to increase the number of authorized shares to 985,000,000, $0.001 par value. In January 2009 the Company amended its Articles to increase the number of authorized shares to 4,000,000,000, $0.001 par value. In January 2010 the Company once again amended its Articles to increase the number of authorized shares to 8,888,000,000, $0.001 par value.

The Company’s last filing of financial information with the SEC was the Form 10-QSB it filed on December 19, 2002 for the quarter ended 30 September 2002. No other filings were effected with the SEC until the Company filed a Form 15 May 19, 2008, which terminated the Company’s filing obligations with SEC.

The Company was effectively dormant for a number of years. In or around February 2014 there was a change in control when Kevin Hayes acquired 1,000,000 shares of the Series A (pre-reverse split), and was appointed as the sole director and officer. In or around April 2017 there was another change in control when Kevin Hayes sold the 1,000,000 shares of Series A to Hybrid Titan Management, which then proceeded to assign the Series A to William Alessi. Mr. Alessi was then appointed as the sole director and officer of the Company. Mr. Alessi initiated legal action in his home state of North Carolina to confirm, among other things, his ownership of the Series A; his “control” over the Company; and, the status of creditors of the Company. In or around June 2017 the court entered judgment in favor of Mr. Alessi.

2

In or around July 2017, while under the majority ownership and management of Mr. Alessi, the Company sought to effect a merger transaction (the “Merger”) under which the Company would be merged into Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (“Data443”). Data443 was formed as a North Carolina corporation in July 2017 under the original name LandStar, Inc. The name of the North Carolina corporation was changed to Data443 in December 2017. In November 2017 the controlling interest in the Company was acquired by our current chief executive officer and sole board member, Jason Remillard, when he acquired all of the Series A shares from Mr. Alessi. In that same transaction Mr. Remillard also acquired all of the shares of Data443 from Mr. Alessi. Mr. Remillard was then appointed as the sole director and sole officer of the Company, and of Data443. Initially, Mr. Remillard sought to recognize the Merger initiated by Mr. Alessi and respect the results of the Merger. The Company relied upon documents previously prepared and proceeded as if the Merger had been effected.

In January 2018 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Myriad Software Productions, LLC, which is owned 100% by Mr. Remillard. Those assets were comprised of the software program known as ClassiDocs, and all intellectual property and goodwill associated therewith. This acquisition changed the Company’s status to no longer being a “shell” under applicable securities rules. In consideration for the acquisition, the Company agreed to a purchase price of $1,500,000 comprised of (i) $50,000 paid at closing; (ii) $250,000 in the form of our promissory note; and, (iii) $1,200,000 in shares of our common stock, valued as of the closing, which equated to 1,200,000,000 shares of our common stock (pre-reverse split). The shares have not yet been issued and are not included as part of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. However, these shares have been recorded as additional paid in capital within our consolidated financial statements for the period ending 30 June 2018.

In April 2018 the Company amended the designation for its Series A Preferred Stock by providing that a holder of Series A was entitled to (i) vote 15,000 shares of common stock for each share of Series A on all matters submitted to a vote by shareholders; and, (ii) convert each share of Series A into 1,000 shares of our common stock.

In May 2018 the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation. The total authorized number of shares is: 8,888,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value; and, 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, designated in the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Series A remains in full force and effect.

In June 2018, after careful analysis and in reliance upon professional advisors retained by the Company, it was determined that the Merger had, in fact, not been completed, and that the Merger was not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. As such, the Merger was legally terminated. In place of the Merger, in June 2018 the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Data443 (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Data443 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with both the Company and Data443 continuing to exist as corporate entities. The finances and business conducted by the respective entities prior to the Share Exchange will be treated as related party transactions in anticipation of the Share Exchange. As consideration in the Share Exchange, we agreed to issue to Mr. Remillard: (a) One hundred million (100,000,000) shares of our common stock; and (b) On the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the closing of the Share Exchange (the “Earn Out Date”), an additional 100,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Earn Out Shares”) provided that Data 443 has at least an additional $1 million in revenue by the Earn Out Date (not including revenue directly from acquisitions). The aforementioned shares are all pre-reverse split. None of our shares of our common stock to be issued to Mr. Remillard under the Share Exchange have been issued. As such, none of said shares are included as part of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. However, the shares committed to Mr. Remillard have been recorded as common shares issuable and included in additional paid-in capital and the earn out shares have been reflected as a contingent liability for common stock issuable within the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019.

On or about June 28, 2018 we secured the rights to the WordPress GDPR Framework through our wholly owned subsidiary Data443 for a total consideration of €40,001, or $46,521, payable in four payments of €10,000, with the first payment due at closing, and the remaining payments issuable at the end of July, August and September, 2018. All of the payments were made and upon issuance of the final payment, we have the right to enter into an asset transfer agreement for the nominal cost of one euro (€1).

On or about October 22, 2018 we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Modevity, LLC (“Modevity”) to acquire certain assets collectively known as ARALOC™, a software-as-a service (“SaaS”) platform that provides cloud-based data storage, protection, and workflow automation. The acquired assets consist of intellectual and related intangible property including applications and associated software code, and trademarks. While the Company did not acquire any of the customers or customer contracts of Modevity, the Company did acquire access to books and records related to the customers and revenues Modevity created on the ARALOC™ platform as part of the asset purchase agreement. These assets were substantially less than the total assets of Modevity, and revenues from the platform comprised a portion of the overall sales of Modevity. We are required to create the technical capabilities to support the ongoing operation of this SaaS platform. A substantial effort on the part of the Company is needed to continue generating ARALOC™ revenues through development of a sales force, as well as billing and collection processes. We paid Modevity (i) $200,000 in cash; (ii) $750,000, in the form of our 10-month promissory note; and, (iii) 164,533,821 shares of our common stock. In July 2020 the Company completed all payments due to Modevity under the asset purchase agreement.

On or around February 7, 2019, the Company entered into an Exclusive License and Management Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Wala, Inc. (“Wala”). Under the License Agreement the Company was granted the exclusive right and license to receive all benefits from the marketing, selling, and licensing of the data archiving platform known as ArcMail and all assets related thereto (the “ArcMail Assets”). In connection with the License Agreement, the Company also executed (i) a Stock Rights Agreement, under which the Company had the right to acquire all shares of stock of Wala; and, (ii) a Business Covenants Agreement, under which Wala and its CEO agreed to not compete with the Company’s use of the ArcMail assets for a designated period of time. The Company has not purchased any outstanding shares under the Stock Purchase Rights Agreement. The License Agreement, Stock Rights Agreement, and Business Covenants Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “ArcMail Agreements”).

On June 21, 2019, the Company filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation to increase the total number authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from 8,888,000,000 shares to 15,000,000,000 shares.

If the Company fails to meet its obligations under the terms of the Note, the Note shall become immediately due and payable and subject to penalties provided for in the Note. The Company also granted to Auctus warrants to acquire 110,933,333 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “First Warrant”).

Our Growth Strategy

Key elements of our growth strategy include:

Acquisitions. We intend to aggressively pursue acquisitions of other cybersecurity software and service providers focused on the data security sector. We target companies with a developed and/or steady client base, as well as companies with offerings that complement our existing suite of products.

Research & Development; Innovation. We intend to increase our spending on research and development to create new and innovative products and to improve existing products, proactively identifying and solving the data security needs of our clients.

Grow Our Customer Base. We believe the continued challenges businesses face in managing their enterprise data and the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats will keep the demand high for the type of products and services we offer. We intend to capitalize on this demand by continually developing and curating a collection of products and services that are attractive and relevant to both our established revenue base and to new customers.

Expand Our Sales Capacity. We believe that continuing to expand our sales force will be essential to achieving our expansion and growth. We intend to expand our sales capacity by adding sales and marketing employees, with heavy focus on customer success and leveraging our existing customer relationships.

Our Customers

Our current customer base is comprised primarily of two segments – commercial enterprises and open-source consumers. Our commercial enterprise customers are generally focused within the U.S., range from 500 employees to over 150,000 employees, and use our data security products. We have over 10,000 commercial enterprise customers. We have approximately 20 customers in the financial technology industry that contract with us directly for products with subscriptions with terms of more than three years. We have more than 2,500 customers comprising mid-market-sized organizations that also contract with us directly for products with subscriptions with terms of one to three years. Our open-source consumers are more widely distributed geographically, include organizations of all sizes in terms of both number of employees and revenues, and typically use our online GDPR/CCPA/GLPD Privacy plugins, our Privacy Badge solution, or our user experience enhancement products. We have over 200,000 open-source consumers with active installations of our plugins, and we have 9,000 open-source consumers that pay a premium for additional or advanced features. We expect that some of our open-source consumers will become commercial customers over time.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the “JOBS Act.” An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies. As a result, the information that we provide to stockholders may be different than the information you may receive from other public companies in which you hold equity. For example, as long as we are an emerging growth company:

we are not required to engage an auditor to report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act;Act”);
we are not required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board or the (the “PCAOB”) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
we are not required to submit certain executive compensation matters to stockholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden parachutes”; and
we are not required to comply with certain disclosure requirements related to executive compensation, such as the requirement to disclose the correlation between executive compensation and performance and the requirement to present a comparison of our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to our median employee compensation.

We may take advantage of these reduced disclosure and other requirements until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our IPO, or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. For example, if certain eventsWe will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur beforeof: the endlast day of such five-year period, including ifthe fiscal year in which we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenue,revenue; the last day of the fiscal year in which we qualify as a “large accelerated filer”; the date on which we have, more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or issueduring the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company.securities; and the last day of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of this offering occurs.

As mentioned above, the JOBS Act permits us, as an emerging growth company, to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We have elected not to opt out of the extended transition period which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, as an emerging growth company, we can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make it difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used to compareAs a result, our financial statements withmay not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies, which may make comparison of our financials to those of such other public companies more difficult.

We are also a public“smaller reporting company,” meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company. The market value of our stock held by non-affiliates plus the proposed aggregate amount of gross proceeds to us as a result of this offering is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company after this offering if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates (public float) is less than $250 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 Million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, orwe may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements of anin our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companycompanies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation. In the event that has opted outwe are still considered a “smaller reporting company” at such time as we cease being an “emerging growth company,” the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but it will still be less than it would be if we were considered neither an “emerging growth company” nor a “smaller reporting company.” Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies,” “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of using the extended transition period.Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, being required to provide only two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

We will require additional funds in the future to achieve our current business strategy and ouran inability to obtain funding willcould cause our business to fail.

We will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity salesfinancings in order to fund our future operations and fulfill our future contractual obligations in the future.obligations. These financings may not be available when needed. Even if these financings are available, itthey may be on terms that we deem unacceptable or that are materially adverse to your interests with respect to dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences, or other terms. Our inability to obtain financing wouldcould have an adverse effect on our ability to implement our current business plan and develop our products, and as a result, could diminish our sales or require us to diminish or suspend our operations and possibly cease our existence.

Even if we are successful in raising capital in the future, we will likely need to raise additional capital to continue and/or expand our operations. If we do not raise the additional capital, the value of any investment in us may become worthless. In the event

If we do not raise additional capital but from other than conventional sources, it is likely that we may need to scale back or curtailotherwise adjust our growth strategy which may prevent us from fully implementing our business plan.

 

Technology is constantly undergoing significant changeschanging and evolutionsevolving and it is imperative that we keep up with an ever changing technological landscape in order to ensure the continued viability of our products and services.services requires that we keep up with an ever-changing technological landscape.

 

Our industry is categorized by rapid technological progression, ever increasingever-increasing innovation, changes in customer requirements, and frequent new product introductions, and we may be subject to legal and regulatory compliance mandates and frequent new product introductions.as the relevant law develops in the fields in which are products are used. As a result, we must continually change and improve our products in response to such changes, and our products must also successfully interface with products from other vendors, which are also subject to constant change. While we believe we have the competency to aid our clientscustomers in all aspects of data privacy and security, we will need to constantly work on improvingimprove our current assets in orderand offerings to keep up with technological advances that will almost certainlyare expected to occur.

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to anticipate future market needs and opportunities or be able to develop new products and services or expand the functionality of our current products and services in a timely manner or at all. Even if we are able to anticipate, develop, and introduce new products and expand the functionality of our current products, there can be no assurance that enhancements or new products will achieve widespread market acceptance. Should we fail toacceptance: If they do so,not, our business may be adversely affected and in the worst possible scenario, we may have to cease operations altogether if we do not adapt to the constant changes that occur in the way business is conducted.altogether.

We will face intense competition in our market, especially from larger, well establishedwell-established companies, and we may lack sufficient financial and other resources to maintain and improve our competitive position.

The market for data privacy and security and other data governance solutions is intensely competitive and is characterized by constant change and innovation. We face competition from both traditional, larger software vendors offering enterprise-wide software frameworks and services and smaller companies offering point solutions for specific identityidentification and data governance issues. We also compete with IT equipment vendors and systems management solution providers whose products and services address identitydata identification and classification and data governance requirements. Our principal competitors vary depending on the product we offer.product. Many of our existing competitors have achieved, and some of our potential competitors could have,achieve, substantial competitive advantages such as:due to:

greater name recognition and longer operating histories;
more comprehensive and varied products and services;

10

broader market focus;
broader product offerings and market focus;
greater resources to develop technologies or make acquisitions;
 more expansive intellectual property portfolios;portfolios that may limit our ability to market or sell products and services in the United States or markets outside the United States;
 broader distribution capabilities and established relationships with distribution partners and customers;
greater customer support resources; and
substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources.

Given their larger size, greater resources, and existing customer relationships, ourOur competitors may be able to compete and respond more effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, or customer requirements. Our competitors may also seek to extend or supplement their existing offeringsproducts and services to provide data security and data governance solutions that more closely compete with our products and services offerings. Potential customers may also prefer to purchase, or incrementally add solutions, from their existing suppliers rather than to onboard with us as a new or additional supplier regardless of productwhether our products offer better performance or more features.

14

In addition, with the recent increase in large merger and acquisition transactions in the technology industry, particularly transactions involving cloud-based technologies, there is a greater likelihood that we will compete with other large technology companies in the future.

Some of our competitors have made acquisitions or entered into strategic relationships to offer a more comprehensive product offerings in combination than they individually had offered.were previously able to offer alone. Companies and alliances resulting from these possible consolidations and partnerships may create more compelling product offerings and be able to offer more attractive pricing, making itthem more compelling to customers and more difficult for us to compete with effectively. In addition, continued industry consolidation may adversely impact customers’customer perceptions of the viability of smallsmall- and medium-sized technology companies and consequently their willingness to purchase from those companies. Conditions in our market could change rapidly and significantly as a result of technological advancements, partnering byamong our competitors, or continuing market consolidation. These competitive pressures in our market or our failurepotential inability to compete effectively may result in price reductions, fewer orders, reduced revenue and gross margins, increased net losses, and loss of market share. Any failure to meet and address these factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

We are dependent on the continued services and performance of our chief executive officer,founder and Chief Executive Officer, Jason Remillard, the loss of whom could adversely affect our business.

Our future performance depends in large part on the continued services and continuing contributions of our chief executive officerfounder, Chief Executive Officer and sole director,president, Jason Remillard, to successfully manage our company,the Company, to execute on our business plan, and to identify and pursue new opportunities and deliver product innovations. The loss of services of Mr. RemillardRemillard’s services could significantly delay or prevent the achievement ofus from achieving our development and strategic objectives and adversely affect our business.

 

Our officers and directors lack experience in and with the reporting and disclosure obligations of publicly-traded companies.

Our chief executive officer and sole director, Jason Remillard, lacks experience in and with the reporting and disclosure obligations of publicly-traded companies and with serving as an officer and director of a publicly-traded company. Such lack of experience may impair our ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, which may result in material misstatements to our financial statements and an inability to provide accurate financial information to our stockholders. Consequently, our operations, future earnings, and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to Mr. Remillard’s lack of experience with publicly-traded companies and their reporting requirements in general. Notwithstanding Mr. Remillard’s recent experience as our CEO and his commitment to best public company practices, there is no assurance he will be successful.

A failure to hire and integrate additional sales and marketing personnel or maintain their productivity could adversely affect our results of operations and growth prospects.

Our business requires intensive sales and marketing activities. Our sales and marketing personnel are essential to attracting new customers and expanding sales to the customers we recently acquired through acquisitions; this is key to our future growth. We face a number of challenges in successfully expanding our sales force. We must locate and hire a significant number of qualified individuals, and competition for such individuals is intense. We may be unable to achieve our hiring or integration goals due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the number of individuals we hire; challenges in finding individuals with the correct background due to increased competition for such hires; and, increased attrition rates among new hires and existing personnel. Furthermore, based on our past experience, it often can take up to 12 months before a new sales force member is trained and operating at a level that meets our expectations. We plan to invest significant time and resources in training new members of our sales force, and we may be unable to achieve our target performance levels with new sales personnel as rapidly as we have done in the past due to larger numbers of hires or lack of experience training sales personnel to operate in new jurisdictions. Our failure to hire a sufficient number of qualified individuals, to integrate new sales force members within the time periods we have achieved historically or to keep our attrition rates at levels comparable to others in our industry may materially impact our projected growth rate.

1511
 

If we are unable to attract new customers andand/or expand sales to existing customers, both domestically and internationally, our growth could be slower than we expect, and our business may be harmed.

Our future growth depends in part upon increasing our customer base. Our ability to achieve significant growth in revenues in the future will depend in large part, upon the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, both domestically and internationally, and our ability to attract new customers. If we fail to attract new customers, and maintain and expand those customer relationships, our revenues willmay grow more slowly than expected, and our business willmay be harmed.

Our future growth also depends upon expanding sales of our products and services to existing customers and their organizations. If our customers do not purchase additional licenses or capabilities,our other offerings related to complementary products and services , our revenues may grow more slowly than expected, may not grow at all, or may decline. There can be no assurance that our efforts wouldwill result in increased sales to existing customers and additional revenues. If our efforts are not successful, our business wouldmay suffer.

If we are unable to maintain successful relationships with our channel partners, our business could be adversely affected.

 

We intend to rely to some extent on channel partners, such as distribution partners and resellers, to sell licenses for our products and to sell our technical support and maintenance agreements.services. Our ability to achieve revenue growth in the future may depend in part on our success in maintaining successful relationships with our channel partners. Agreements with channel partners tend to be non-exclusive, meaning our channel partners may offer customers the products of several different companies. If our channel partners do not effectively market and sell our products and services, choose to use greater efforts to market and sell their own products or those of others, or fail to meet the needs of our customers, our ability to grow our business may be adversely affected. Further,Furthermore, agreements with channel partners generally allow them to terminate their agreements for any reason upon 30 days’ notice. A termination of the agreement has no effect on orders already placed. The loss of a substantial number of our channel partners, our possible inability to replace them, or the failure to recruit additional channel partners could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. If we are unable to maintain our relationships with these channel partners, our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows could be adversely affected.

 

Breaches in our security, cyber-attacks,cyberattacks, or other cyber-riskscyber risks could expose us to significant liability and cause our business and reputation to suffer.

 

Our operations may involve transmissiontransmitting and processing of our customers’the confidential, proprietary, and sensitive information.information of our customers. We have legal and contractual obligations to protect the confidentiality of and appropriateto appropriately use of customer data. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks as a result of third partythird-party action, employee error, or misconduct. Security risks, including, but not limited to, unauthorized use or disclosure of customer data, theft of proprietary information, loss or corruption of customer data, and computer hacking attacks or other cyber-attacks,cyberattacks, could expose us to substantial litigation expenses and damages, indemnity and other contractual obligations, government fines and penalties, mitigation expenses and other liabilities. We arehave been subject to attempted cyberattacks in the past and expect to be subject to such attacks in the future. We continuously workingwork to improve our information technology systems, together with creatingand to create security boundaries around our critical and sensitive assets. We provide advance security awareness training to our employees and contractors that focuses on various aspects of the cyber security world. All of these steps are taken in orderperform activities to mitigate the risk of attackattacks and to ensureincrease our readinesscapabilities to responsibly handle any security violation or attack. However, because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until successfully launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures and our products could be harmed, we could lose potential sales and existing customers, our ability to operate our business could be impaired, and we may incur significant liabilities.

 

Failure to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights could substantially harm our business.

 

The success of our business depends on our ability to obtain, protect, and enforce our trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, patents, and other intellectual property rights.rights such as copyrights and trademarks. We attempt to protect our intellectual property under trade secret, patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secrettrademark laws, and through a combination of confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions and other methods, all of which offer only limited protection. The process of obtaining patent protection is expensive and time-consuming,time consuming, and we may choose not to seek patent protection for certain innovations and may choose not to pursue patent protection in certain jurisdictions. In addition, issuance of ajurisdictions in which we do or plan to do business. Not seeking patent does not guarantee that we have an absolute rightprotection may limit our options to practice the patented invention.exclude competitors from using those innovations altogether or in those jurisdictions.

1612
 

Our policy is to require our employees (and our consultants and service providers that develop intellectual property included in our products) to execute written agreements in which they assign to us their rights in potential inventions and other intellectual property created within the scope of their employment (or,employment. We also require any consultants we engage to provide services that may result in intellectual property that would benefit us to contractually agree to assign their rights to their inventions or creations to us, in connection with respect to consultants and service providers, their engagement to develop such intellectual property), butthe engagement. However, we cannot assure you that we have adequately protected our rights in every such agreement or that we have executed an agreement with every such party. Finally, in order to benefit from intellectual property protection, we must monitor, detect, and pursue infringement claims in certain circumstances in relevant jurisdictions, all of which is costly and time-consuming. As a result, we may not be able to obtain adequate protection ofadequately protect our intellectual property.property rights.

The data security, cyber-security,cybersecurity, data retention, and data governance industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of relevant patents and frequent claims and related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. From time-to-time,time to time, third parties have asserted and may assert their patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights against us, our channel partners, or our customers. Successful claims of infringement or misappropriation by a third party could prevent us from distributing certain products or performing certain services or could require us to pay substantial damages (including, for example, treble damages if we are found to have willfully infringed patents and increased statutory damages if we are found to have willfully infringed copyrights), royalties or other fees. Such claims also could require us to cease making, licensing or using solutions that are alleged to infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property of others or to expend additional development resources to attempt to redesign our products or services or otherwise to develop non-infringing technology. Even if third parties may offer a license to their technology, the terms of any offered license may not be acceptable, and the failure to obtain a license or the costs associated with any license could cause our business, results of operations or financial condition to be materially and adversely affected. In some cases, we indemnify our channel partners and customers against claims that our products infringe the intellectual property of third parties. Defending against claims of infringement or being deemed to be infringing the intellectual property rights of others could impair our ability to innovate, develop, distribute, and sell our current and planned products and services. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights and ensure that we are not violating the intellectual property rights of others, we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to others who need not incur the additional expense, time, and effort required to create the innovative products that have enabled us to be successful to date.

 

Real or perceived errors, failures, or bugs in our technology could adversely affect our growth prospects.

Because we develop, use, and provide complex technology, undetected errors, failures, or bugs may occur. Our technology is often installed and used in a variety of computing environments with different operating system management software, and equipment, and networking configurations, which may cause errors or failures of our technology or other aspects of the computing environment into which it is deployed. In addition, deployment of our technology into computing environments may expose undetected errors, compatibility issues, failures, or bugs in our technology. Despite testing by us, errors, failures, or bugs may not be found until our technology is released to our customers. Moreover, our customers could incorrectly implement or inadvertently misuse our technology, which could result in customer dissatisfaction and adversely impact the perceived utility of our products. Any of these real or perceived errors, compatibility issues, failures, or bugs could result in negative publicity, reputational harm, loss of or delay in market acceptance, loss of competitive position, or claims by customers for losses sustained by them. In such an event, we may be required, or may choose, for customer relations or other reasons, to expend additional resources in order to help correct the problem.

We are subject to federal, state and industry privacy and data security regulations, which could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our software.

The regulatory framework for privacy issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertainfluid and unpredictable for the foreseeable future. Many federal, state, and foreign government bodies and agencies have adopted or are considering adopting privacy and data security laws and regulations. In addition, privacy advocates and industry groups may propose new and different self-regulatory standards. We also may determine that certain requirements or standards that either legally or contractually applyare best practices for us to us.implement. Because the interpretation and application of privacy and data protection laws are stillcan be uncertain, it is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our existing data security practices. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits and other claims, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our technology, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Any inability to adequately address privacy concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable privacy or data protection laws, regulations and policies, could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales and adversely affect our business.

Because our long-term success depends, in part, on our ability to expand the sales and marketing of our technology and solutions to customers located outside of the United States, our business will beis susceptible to risks associated with international operations.

We intend to expand our international sales and marketing operations. Conducting international operations subjects us to risks that we domay not generally face in the United States.States or may prove more challenging to address. These risks include:

pandemics, political instability, war, armed conflict, or terrorist activities;
challenges developing, marketing, selling, and implementing our technology and solutions caused by language, cultural and ethical differences, and the competitive environment;
heightened risks of unethical, unfair, or corrupt business practices, actual or claimed, in certain geographies and of improper or fraudulent sales arrangements that may impact financial results and result innecessitate restatements of andor result in irregularities in financial statements;
competition from bigger and stronger companies in the new markets;
laws imposing heightened restrictions on data usageuse and increased penalties for failure to comply with applicable laws, particularly in countries within the EU;European Union (EU);
currency fluctuations;
management communication and integration problems resulting from cultural differences and geographic dispersion;
potentially adverse tax consequences, including multiple and possibly overlapping tax structures, the complexities of foreign value addedvalue-added tax (VAT) systems, restrictions on the repatriation of earnings and changes in tax rates; and
uncertainty around how the United Kingdom’s decision to exit the EU will impact its access to the European Union Single Market, the related regulatory environment, the global economy, and the resulting impact on our business; and
lack of familiarity with local laws, customs and practices, and laws and business practices favoring local competitors or commercial parties.

The occurrence of any one of these risks could harm our international business and, consequently, our operating results. Additionally, operating in international markets requires significant management attention and financial resources. We cannot be certain that the investment and additional resources required to operate in other countries will produce desired levels of revenue or net income.

The adoption of the recent tax reform and the enactment of additional legislation changing the United States taxation of international business activities could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”), which significantly reformed the Internal Revenue Code. The TCJA, among other things, included changes to U.S. federal tax rates, imposes significant additional limitations on the deductibility of interest, restricts the use of net operating loss carry-forwards arising after December 31, 2017, allows for the expensing of capital expenditures, and puts into effect the migration from a “worldwide” system of taxation to a territorial system. We continue to examine the impact this tax reform legislation may have on our business. Due to the proposed expansion of our international business activities, any changes in the U.S. taxation of such activities may increase our worldwide effective tax rate and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations. Further, foreign governments may enact tax laws in response to the TCJA that could result in further changes to global taxation and materially affect our financial position and results of operations. The impact of the TCJA on holders of our securities is uncertain. With the change in the presidency in 2021, increased corporate tax rates are being considered, as are proposals for corporate tax increases in foreign countries. These proposals, if enacted, may increase our worldwide effective tax rate, create tax and compliance obligations in jurisdictions in which we previously had none, and adversely affect our financial position. We urge our stockholders to consult with their legal and tax advisors with respect to such legislation and the potential tax consequences.

Changes in financial accounting standards may cause adverse and unexpected revenue fluctuations and impact our reported results of operations.

A change in accounting standards or practices could harm our operating results and may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements have occurred and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may harm our operating results or the way we conduct our business. Additionally, the adoption of new or revised accounting principles may require that we make significant changes to our systems process and controls.controls, which could be time consuming and costly.

Our business is subject to the risks of pandemic, fire, power outages, floods, earthquakes, and other catastrophic events, and to interruption by manmade problems such as terrorism.terrorism and war.

A pandemic, significant natural disaster, such as a fire, flood or an earthquake, or a significant power outage could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In the event our customers’ information technology systems or our channel partners’ selling or distribution abilities are hindered by any of these events, we may miss financial targets, such as revenues and sales targets, for a particular quarter. Further,Furthermore, if a natural disaster occurs in a region from which we derive a significant portion of our revenue, customers in that region may delay or forego purchases of our products, which may materially and adversely impact our results of operations for a particular period. In addition, acts of terrorism or war could cause disruptions in our business or the business of channel partners, customers, or the economy as a whole. All of the aforementioned risks may be exacerbated if the disaster recovery plans for us and our channel partners prove to be inadequate. To the extent that any of the above results in delays or cancellations of customer orders, or the delaydelays in the manufacture, deploymentproducing, deploying or shipment ofshipping our products or delivering our services, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

We anticipate that our operations will continue to increase in complexity as we grow, which will add additional challenges to the management of our business in the future.

We expect that our business will grow as we execute on our business plan, and that as we grow our operations will increase in complexity. To effectively manage this growth, we have made and continue to make substantial investments to improve our operational, financial and management controls as well as our reporting systems and procedures. Further, as our customer base grows, we will need to expand our professional services and other personnel. We also will need to effectively manage our direct and indirect sales processes as the number and type of our sales personnel and channel partners grows and becomes more complex, and as we expand into foreign markets. If we are unable to effectively manage the increasing complexity of our business and operations, the quality of our technology and customer service could suffer, and we may not be able to adequately address competitive challenges. These factors could all negatively impact our business, operations, operating results, and financial condition.

Any failureWe require additional financing to offer high-quality customer service may adversely affectsustain our relationships withoperations and execute our customersbusiness plan. If we fail to secure the required additional financing on acceptable terms and in a timely manner, our financial results.

We have limited capital resources and resolve technical issues relatingoperations. To date, our operations have been funded largely from the proceeds of debt and equity financings. We will require substantial additional capital in the near future to operate our applications.business. We may be unable to respond quickly enoughobtain additional financing on terms acceptable to accommodate short-term increases in demandus, or at all. Even if we obtain financing for our customer success services. We also may be unablenear-term operations, we expect that we will require additional capital thereafter.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in similar services providedthe future to meet our needs.

Increased customer demand for these services, without corresponding revenue, could increase costsexisting shareholders will be reduced and adversely affect our operating results.shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, our sales process is highly dependent on the reliable functional operationnew securities may contain rights, preferences, or privileges that are senior to those of our applications,common stock. If we raise additional capital by incurring debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of securities, market fluctuations in the price of our business reputation, and positive recommendations from our existing customers. Any failure to maintain high-quality customer service, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality customer service,shares of common stock could adversely affect our reputation,limit our ability to sell our applicationsobtain equity financing. We cannot give any assurance that any additional financing will be available to existing and prospective customers andus, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us. If we are unable to raise capital when needed, our business, operatingfinancial condition, and results of operations would be materially adversely affected, and financial position.we could be forced to reduce or discontinue our operations.

IfWe have relied on funding from Jason Remillard for working capital to fund operations in the marketpast, and there is no assurance that future financing from Mr. Remillard will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us.

For the past several years, we have depended on our Chief Executive Officer, Jason Remillard, for cloud-based enterprise work management applications develops more slowly than we expect, or declines,working capital to fund our operations and to execute our business plan. In addition, we have in the past been and in the future be dependent upon Mr. Remillard to provide continued funding and capital resources. However, no assurance can be given that future financing from Mr. Remillard will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. In the absence of financing from other sources, the inability to obtain additional financing from Mr. Remillard could be adversely affected.

The market for cloud-based enterprise work management applications is not as mature asresult in the market for legacy on-premise enterprise systems, and it is uncertain whether cloud-based applications will achieve and sustain high levels of customer demand and market acceptance. Our success will depend to a substantial extent on increased adoption of cloud-based applications, andscaling back or discontinuance of our enterprise work management software applications in particular. Many large organizations have invested substantial personnel and financial resources to integrate legacy on-premise enterprise systems into their businesses, and therefore may be reluctantoperations or unwilling to migrate to cloud-based applications or away from their traditional vendors or to new practices because of the organizational changes often requiredour inability to successfully implement new enterprise work management systems. In addition, we do not know whether the adoptionour plan of enterprise work management software will continue to grow and displace manual processes and traditional tools, such as paper-based techniques, spreadsheets, and email. It is difficult to predict customer adoption rates and demand for our applications, the future growth rate and size of the cloud-based software application market or the entry of competitive products. The expansion of the cloud-based software application market depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance, and perceived value associated with cloud-based applications, as well as the ability of cloud-based application companies to address security and privacy concerns. If other cloud-based software application providers experience security incidents, loss of customer data, disruptions in delivery or other problems, the market for cloud-based applications as a whole, including our enterprise work management applications, may be negatively affected. If cloud-based applications do not achieve widespread adoption, or there is a reduction in demand for cloud-based applications caused by a lack of customer acceptance, technological challenges, weakening economic conditions, security or privacy concerns, competing technologies and products, decreases in corporate spending or otherwise, our revenues may decrease and our business could be adversely affected.operations.

We have made and expect to continue to make acquisitions as a primary component of our growth strategy. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates or consummate acquisitions on acceptable terms, or we may be unable to successfully integrate acquisitions, which could disrupt our operations and adversely impact our business and operating results.

A primary component of our growth strategy has beenis to acquire complementary businesses to grow our company. For example, in September 2019, we acquired certain assets collectively known as DataExpressTM, a software platform for secure sensitive data transfer within the hybrid cloud.businesses. We intend to continue to pursue acquisitions of complementary technologies, products, and businesses as a primary component of our growth strategy to enhance the features and functionality of our applications,offerings, to expand our customer base and provide access to new markets, and to increase benefits of scale. Acquisitions involve certain known and unknown risks that could cause our actual growth or operating results to differ from our expectations. For example:

we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates or to consummate acquisitions on acceptable terms;
we may pursue international acquisitions, which inherently pose more risks than domestic acquisitions;
we compete with others to acquire complementary products, technologies, and businesses, which may result in decreased availability of, or increased price for, suitable acquisition candidates;
we may not be able to obtain the necessary financing on favorable terms or at all, to finance any or all of our potential acquisitions;
we may ultimately fail to consummate an acquisition even if we announce that we plan to acquire a technology, product, or business; and
acquired technologies, products, or businesses may not perform as we expect and we may fail to realize anticipated revenue and profits.

In addition, our acquisition strategy may divert management’s attention away from our existing business, resulting in the loss of key customers or employees, and expose us to unanticipated problems or legal liabilities, including responsibility as a successor for undisclosed or contingent liabilities of acquired businesses or assets.

If we fail to conduct due diligence on our potential targets effectively, we may, for example, not identify problems at target companies or fail to recognize incompatibilities or other obstacles to successful integration. Our inability to successfully integrate future acquisitions could impede us from realizing all of the benefits of those acquisitions and could severely weaken our business operations. The integration process may disrupt our business and, if new technologies, products, or businesses are not implemented effectively, may preclude the realization of the full benefits expected by us and could harm our results of operations. In addition, the overall integration of new technologies, products, or businesses may result in unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, and competitive responses. The difficulties integrating an acquisition include, among other things:

issues in integrating the target company’s technologies, products or businesses with ours;
incompatibility of marketing and administration methods;

2016
 

maintaining employee morale and retaining key employees;
integrating the cultures of both companies;
preserving important strategic customer relationships;
consolidating corporate and administrative infrastructures and eliminating duplicative operations; and
coordinating and integrating geographically separate organizations.

In addition, even if the operations of an acquisition are integrated successfully, we may not realize the full benefits of the acquisition, including the synergies, cost savings, or growth opportunities that we expect. TheseThe benefits we do realize may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame, or at all.frame.

Further, acquisitions may cause us to:

issue common stock that would dilute our current stockholders’ ownership percentage;
use a substantial portion of our cash resources;
increase our interest expense, leverage and debt service requirements if we incur additional debt to pay for an acquisition;
assume liabilities for which we do not have indemnification from the former owners; further, indemnification obligations may be subject to dispute or concerns regarding the creditworthiness of the former owners;
record goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets that are subject to impairment testing and potential impairment charges;
experience volatility in earnings due to changes in contingent consideration related to acquisition earn-out liability estimates;
incur amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets;
lose existing or potential contracts as a result of conflict of interest issues;
become subject to adverse tax consequences or deferred compensation charges;
incur large and immediate write-offs; or
become subject to litigation.

We expect our quarterly financial results to fluctuate.

We expect our net sales and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, including changes in:

demand for data security;
our ability to retain existing customers or encourage repeat purchases;
advertising and other marketing costs; and
general economic conditions.

The variability and unpredictability of these and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, could result in our failing to meet or exceed financial expectations for a given period. If our operating results in future quarters fall below the expectations of investors or any securities analysts that cover our stock, the price of our common stock could decline substantially.

The JOBS Act allows us to postpone the date by which itwe must comply with certain laws and regulations intended to protect investors and to reduce the amount of information providedwe provide in reports filed with the SEC.

 

The JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on “emerging growth companies.” We meet the definition of an “emergingemerging growth company”company and so long as we qualify as an “emergingemerging growth company, we will be,are, among other things:

exempt fromnot required to comply with the provisions of Section 404(b)auditor attestation requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires that ourinclude having an independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting;
subject to reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exempt from the “sayrequirement to hold a nonbinding advisory vote on pay” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approveexecutive compensation and stockholder approval of certain executive officers) and the “say on goldenany “golden parachute” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve golden parachute arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and certain disclosure requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to compensation of our chief executive officer;payments not previously approved;
permitted to omit the detailed compensationpresent only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of management’s discussion and analysis from proxy statementsof financial condition and reports filed under the Exchange Actresults of operations disclosure in this Prospectus; and instead provide a reduced level of disclosure concerning executive compensation; and
exempt fromnot required to comply with any rules that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report on theour financial statements.

We currently intendmay choose to take advantage of some or all of thethese reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to it so long asburdens while we qualify as an “emergingemerging growth company”.company. We have taken advantage of all of these reduced burdens in this Prospectus, and currently intend to do so in future filings. As a result, the information we provide stockholders may be different than information you might receive from other public companies in which you hold equity. In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until those standards apply to private companies. We have elected not to opt outavail ourselves of the extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards available under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. Among other things, this means that our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting so long as we qualify as an “emerging growth company,” which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as we qualify as an “emerging growth company,” we may elect not to provide certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of executive officers, which we would otherwise have been required to provide in filings with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate us.exemption. We will remain an “emergingemerging growth company” for upcompany until the earliest to five years, althoughoccur of the last day of the fiscal year in which we will lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1have more than $1.07 billion ifin annual revenue; the last day of the fiscal year in which we issuequalify as a “large accelerated filer”, the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period, or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million. As a result, investor confidence in ussecurities; and the market pricelast day of our common stock may be adversely affected.the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of this offering occurs.

Notwithstanding the above, weWe are also currently a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that wethe market value of our stock held by non-affiliates plus the proposed aggregate amount of gross proceeds to us as a result of this offering is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company and have a public floatafter this offering if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million andas of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenues ofrevenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year.year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter. In the event that we are still considered a “smallersmaller reporting company, at suchthe time are we cease being an “emergingemerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that area available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company.” Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies,” “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, being required to provide only two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in annual reports. our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emergingemerging growth company”company or “smallersmaller reporting company”company may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

Adverse economic conditions may negatively impact our business.

Our business depends on the overall demand for information technology and on the economic health of our current and prospective customers. Any significant weakening of the economy in the United States or Europe, or of the global economy, more limited availability of credit, a reduction in business confidence and activity, decreased government spending, economic uncertainty and other difficulties may affect one or more of the sectors or countries in which we sell our solutions. Global economic and political uncertainty may cause some of our customers or potential customers to curtail spending generally or IT and data security spending specifically and may ultimately result in new regulatory and cost challenges to our operations. In addition, a strong dollar could reduce demand for our products in countries with relatively weaker currencies. These adverse conditions could result in reductions in sales of our solutions, longer sales cycles, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial position.

Failure to remediate weakness in internal accounting controls could result in material misstatements in our financial statements.statements and may result in a lack of certain protections typically afforded to investors.

As a reporting company we are required, pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to include in our Annual Report on Form 10-K our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting, and when we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will need to provide a statement that our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management has identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to lack of segregation of duties resulting from our limited personnel and has concluded that, due to such weakness, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of MarchDecember 31, 2021.2022. We do not have a sufficient number of employees to segregate responsibilities and may be unable to afford increasing our staff or engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of employees, and we do not expect to be able to remediate this weakness until after this Offering.the offering. If not remediated, or if we identify further weaknesses in our internal controls, our failure to establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and a failure to meet our reporting and financial obligations, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our common stock.

 

We do not have a majority of independent directors on our board of directors, and we have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which stockholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or the NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address the board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. Although we plan to adopt these corporate governance measures upon our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, we have not yet adopted any of these other corporate governance measures and since our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so.

Our Board of Directors is comprised of one individual, who is also our executive officer. As a result, we do not have independent directors on our Board of Directors. Upon our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, we plan to establish audit and compensation committees comprised only of independent directors. However, until that date, our current sole director has the ability, among other things, to determine his own level of compensation and to unilaterally make certain other governance decisions. and the prior absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested-director transactions, conflicts of interest, and similar matters.

We have secured debt, which could have adverse consequences to you.

The terms of the secured debt we have incurred could result in adverse consequences, including but not limited to the following:

limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other general corporate requirements;
limiting our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; and
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that may have proportionately less debt and greater financial resources.

18

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell material assets or operations, obtain additional capital, or restructure our debt. In the event that we are required to dispose of material assets or operations to service our debt and to meet our other obligations, the value realized on such assets or operations will depend on market conditions and the availability of buyers. Accordingly, any such sale may not, among other things, be for a sufficient dollar amount. Certain of our obligations are secured by a security interest in all of our assets. The foregoing encumbrances may limit our ability to dispose of material assets or operations. We also may not be able to restructure our indebtedness on favorable economic terms, if at all.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Securities

The trading price of our common stock following this offering may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility that may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our common stock.

The trading price of our common stock following this offering may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility that may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our common stock. Our common stock may trade at prices higher or lower than the offering price. There have been recent instances of extreme share price run-ups followed by rapid price declines following initial public offerings, with share price volatility seemingly unrelated to company performance, particularly among companies with relatively smaller public floats, and we expect that such instances may continue and/or increase in the future. Contributing to this risk of volatility are a number of factors. First, we anticipate that our shares of common stock will initially be held by a relatively limited number of stockholders and thus, are likely to be more sporadically and thinly traded than that of larger, more established companies. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price of our shares of common stock could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand as compared to a seasoned issuer that could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Second, we are a speculative investment due to our limited operating history in our current business strategy, not being profitable, and being an early stage company with no guarantee that we can operate our business profitably. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the shares of a larger, more established company that has a relatively large public float.

Because we became a reporting company under the Exchange Act by means other than a traditional underwritten initial public offering, we may not be able to attract the attention of research analysts at major brokerage firms.

Because we did not become a reporting company by conducting an underwritten initial public offering, or IPO, of our common stock on a national securities exchange, and because prior to this offering, our stock traded on OTC Pink rather than being listed on a national securities exchange, research analysts of brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our Company. In addition, investment banks may be less likely to agree to underwrite secondary offerings on our behalf than they might if we had become a public reporting company by means of an IPO because they may be less familiar with our Company as a result of more limited coverage by analysts and the media, and because we became public at an early stage in our development.

Our common stock will rank junior to all our liabilities to third party creditors, and to any class or series of our capital stock created after this offering specifically ranking by its terms senior to the common stock, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or winding up of our assets.

In the event of bankruptcy, liquidation or winding up, our assets will be available to pay obligations on our common stock only after all our liabilities have been paid. Our common stock will effectively rank junior to all existing and future liabilities held by third party creditors. The terms of our common stock do not restrict our ability to raise additional capital in the future through the issuance of debt or senior series of preferred stock. Our common stock will also rank junior to our existing Series A and any Series B Preferred Stock we may issue, as well as any class or series of our capital stock created after this offering specifically ranking by its terms senior to the common stock. In the event of bankruptcy, liquidation or winding up, there may not be sufficient assets remaining, after paying our liabilities, to pay amounts due on any or all of our common stock then outstanding.

Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our common stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred stock, which could rank senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our common stock. Moreover, if we issue preferred stock, the holders of such preferred stock could be entitled to preferences over holders of common stock in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred stock in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our common stock must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return, if any, they may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock.

Our common stock is subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, which may make it difficult for broker-dealers to complete customer transactions and could adversely affect trading activity in our securities.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock may be less than $5.00 per share for some period of time and therefore would be a penny stock according to SEC rules, unless we are listed on a national securities exchange. We can offer no assurance that if we successfully list on The Nasdaq Capital Markets, we will be able to continue to satisfy the conditions necessary to stay listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Under the SEC penny stock rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:

make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;
receive the purchaser’s prior written agreement to the transaction;
provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in penny stocks and which describe the market for these penny stocks as well as a purchaser’s legal remedies; and
obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a penny stock can be completed.

19

If required to comply with these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.

Our common stock has historically experienced low trading volume on the OTC Pink, and therefore the price may not accurately reflect our value. There can be no assurance that an active market for our common stock will develop, either now or in the future.

Our shares of common stock have been thinly traded on the OTC Pink. Only a small percentage of our common stock is available to be traded and is held by a small number of holders and the price, if traded, may not reflect our actual or perceived value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our operating business, among other things. We will take certain steps that may include any or all of investor awareness campaigns, press releases, road shows and conferences to increase awareness of our business and any steps that we might take to bring us to the awareness of investors may require that we compensate consultants with cash and/or stock.

In addition, the trading volume of stocks quoted on the OTC Pink is often low and is often characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects. Because our common stock was quoted on the OTC Pink prior to this offering, trading has been only possible through broker-dealers, and the trading volume of our common stock has been low. Because we were quoted on the OTC Pink prior to this offering and were not a privately-held company, our common stock may continue to experience low trading volume after this offering, and you may experience difficulty liquidating your investment in our common stock or liquidating it at a price that reflects the value of our business. As a result, holders of our securities may not find purchasers for our securities should they desire to sell them. Accordingly, our securities should be purchased only by investors having no need for liquidity in their investment and who can hold our securities for an indefinite period of time. Our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market is a condition of this offering, but we cannot assure you that there will be a market for our common stock in the future.

We have had a history of losses and may incur future losses, which may prevent us from attaining profitability.

We have had a history of operating losses since our inception and, as of June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $52,060,481. We may incur operating losses in the future, and these losses could be substantial and impact our ability to attain profitability. If we cannot increase revenue growth, we will not achieve or sustain profitability or positive operating cash flows. Even if we achieve profitability and positive operating cash flows, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability or positive operating cash flows on a quarterly or annual basis.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their report in our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 to the effect that our losses from operations and our negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. We may be required to cease operations which could result in our stockholders losing all or almost all of their investment. As of June 30 ,2023, we had cash balance of $15,904 and our principal sources of liquidity were trade accounts receivable of $3,147 and prepaid, advance payment for acquisition of $2,726,188 and other current assets of $273,159, as compared to cash of $1,712, trade accounts receivable of $21,569 advance payment for acquisition of $2,726,188 and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $91,204 as of December 31, 2022.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may fluctuate in a way that is disproportionate to our operating performance.

Our stock price may experience substantial volatility as a result of a number of factors, including:

sales or potential sales of substantial amounts of our common stock;
the success of competitive products or technologies;
announcements about us or about our competitors, including new product introductions and commercial results;
the recruitment or departure of key personnel;
litigation and other developments;

20

actual or anticipated changes in estimates as to financial results, development timelines or recommendations by securities analysts;
variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us; and
general economic, industry and market conditions.

Many of these factors are beyond our control. The stock markets in general, and the market for companies whose shares are quoted on the OTC Pink in particular have historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market and industry factors could reduce the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

We currently have outstanding shares of preferred stock that have special rights that could limit our ability to undertake corporate transactions, inhibit potential changes of control and reduce the proceeds available to our common stockholders in the event of a change in control.

We currently have common stock and preferred stock outstanding. Our preferred stockholders have special rights that holders of our common stock do not have. Currently, we have two types of preferred stock: Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. An example of special rights that holders of our Series A Preferred Stock have is the ability to vote on all matters submitted to holders of common stock with 15,000 votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock. Examples of the special rights that holders of our Series B Preferred Stock have are that each share of Series B Preferred Stock has (i) a stated value of $10.00 per share; (ii) is convertible into common stock at a price per share equal to 61% of the lowest price for the Company’s common stock during the 20 day of trading preceding the date of the conversion; (iii) earns dividends at the rate of 9% per annum; but (iv) has no voting rights. Our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to holders of our common stock as to dividend rights and liquidation preference. We currently have 149,892 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding and no shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.

As a result of the rights our preferred stockholders have, we may not be able to undertake certain corporate transactions, including equity or debt transactions necessary to raise sufficient capital to run our business, change of control transactions or other transactions that may be beneficial to our businesses. The holdings of the preferred stockholders may discourage, delay, or prevent a merger, acquisition, or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which our common stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. The market price of our common stock could be adversely affected by the rights of our preferred stockholders.

We have never paid and do not currently intend to pay cash dividends.

We have never paid cash dividends on any of our common stock and we currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be our common stockholders’ sole source of gain for the foreseeable future. Under the terms of our existing Articles of Incorporation, we cannot declare, pay, or set aside any dividends on shares of any class or series of our capital stock, other than dividends on shares of common stock payable in shares of common stock, unless we pay dividends to the holders of our preferred stock. Additionally, without special stockholder and Board of Directors approvals, we cannot currently pay or declare dividends and will be limited in our ability to do so until such time, if ever, that we are listed on a stock exchange.

Our Chief Executive Officer has the ability to control all matters submitted to stockholders for approval, which limits stockholders’ ability to influence corporate affairs.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Jason Remillard, holds 149,892 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (each share votes as the equivalent of 15,000 shares of common stock on all matters submitted for a vote by the common stockholders), and as such, Mr. Remillard would be able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, Mr. Remillard would control the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent a change of control of our Company on terms that other stockholders may desire, which could deprive our stockholders from receiving a premium for their common stock. Concentrated ownership and control by Mr. Remillard could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Any material sales of common stock by Mr. Remillard, for example, could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

The interests of Mr. Remillard and his affiliates may differ from the interests of other stockholders with respect to the issuance of shares, business transactions with and/or sales to other companies, selection of officers and directors, and other business decisions. The non-controlling stockholders are severely limited in their ability to override the decisions of Mr. Remillard.

21

Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and under Nevada law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws, respectively, may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which our common stockholders might otherwise receive a premium price for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our common stock. In addition, because our Board of Directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our Board of Directors.

We will continue to incur substantial costs as a result of operating as a public reporting company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance initiatives.

As a public reporting company listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company or while our common stock was quoted on the OTC Pink. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have imposed various requirements on public companies, including to establish and maintain effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. Complying with these laws and regulations will require the time and attention of our Board of Directors and management and will increase our expenses. We estimate that we will incur approximately $350,000 to $600,000 in 2023 to comply with public company compliance requirements with many of those costs recurring annually thereafter.

Among other things, we will be required to:

maintain and evaluate a system of internal controls over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules and regulations of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
maintain adequate insurance coverage to attract and retain directors and officers;
provide adequate compensation to attract qualified directors;
maintain policies relating to disclosure controls and procedures;
prepare and distribute periodic reports in compliance with our obligations under federal securities laws;
institute a more comprehensive compliance function, including corporate governance; and
involve, to a greater degree, our outside legal counsel and accountants in the above activities.

The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders are significant and much greater for a publicly-held company listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market than for a privately-held company or for a Company whose common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink, and compliance with these rules and regulations may require us to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel, and will involve a material increase in regulatory, legal and accounting expenses, and the attention of management. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the applicable regulations in a timely manner, if at all. In addition, being a public company listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market may make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. In the future, we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain this coverage.

22

We currently have outstanding, and we may in the future issue, instruments which are convertible into shares of common stock, which will result in additional dilution to you.

We currently have outstanding instruments which are convertible into shares of common stock, and we may need to issue similar instruments in the future. If these convertible instruments are converted into shares of common stock, or if we issue other convertible or exchangeable securities, you could experience additional dilution. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will be able to issue shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share you pay or the then-current market price.

We may, in the future, issue additional shares of our common stock, which may have a dilutive effect on our current stockholders.

Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 61,413,168 shares were issued and outstanding as of August 7, 2023. The future issuance of shares of our common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then-existing stockholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value.

The public offering price per share is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $          per share, based on the assumed public offering price of $           per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. Investors in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the book value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.

An investment in our common stock is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.

An investment in our common stock is speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in us, including the risk of losing their entire investment.

If we fail to implement properestablish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our abilityfinancial results accurately or prevent fraud. Any inability to produce accuratereport and file our financial statementsresults accurately and on a timely basis could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.

Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be impaired, which couldable to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our operatingfinancial condition, results of operation, and access to capital. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical undiscovered failures of internal controls exist, and we may in the future discover areas of our ability to operate our business and our stock price.internal control that need improvement.

We must ensure that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis. We have tested our internal controls and identified a weakness and may find additional areas for improvement in the future. Remediating this weakness will require us to hire and train additional personnel. Implementing any future changes to our internal controls may require compliance training of our directors, officers, and employees, entail substantial costs to modify our accounting systems and take a significant period of time to complete. Such changes may not, however, be effective in establishing the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, and our failure to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis could increase our operating costs and could materially impair our ability to operate our business. In addition, investors’ perceptionsinvestor perception that our internal control over financial reporting is inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements may materially adversely affect our stock price.

We have recently incurred secured debt, which could have important consequences to you.

The terms of the secured debt we recently incurred could result in the following, among other, adverse consequences:

limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate requirements;
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; and
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that may have proportionately less debt and greater financial resources.

 

23
 

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell material assets or operations, obtain additional capital or restructure our debt. In the event that we are required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations, the value realized on such assets or operations will depend on market conditions and the availability of buyers. Accordingly, any such sale may not, among other things, be for a sufficient dollar amount. Certain of our obligations are secured by a security interest in all of our assets. The foregoing encumbrances may limit our ability to dispose of material assets or operations. We also may not be able to restructure our indebtedness on favorable economic terms, if at all.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Securities

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink under the trading symbol “ATDS.” However, trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Pink is often thin. Therefore, you may be unable to liquidate your investment in our stock.

Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Pink is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market for our common stock in the future.

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

The existence of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock creates a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” which can act as a depressant to our common stock price. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities more difficult in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. If our existing shareholders and investors seek to sell a substantial number of shares of our common stock, such selling efforts may cause significant declines in the market price of our common stock.

We may not be successful in our attempts to list on the Nasdaq. As such, trading in our stock may be limited and you may not be able to liquidate your investment in our stock.

We intend to list our shares of common stock on Nasdaq. However, there is no assurance we will be successful. The approval of such listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market is a condition of closing this offering. The OTC Pink is significantly more limited market than the Nasdaq stock market. The quotation of our shares of common stock on the OTC Pink may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.

There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. Market liquidity will depend on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result, holders of our securities may not find purchasers for our securities should they desire to sell them. Consequently, our securities should be purchased only by investors having no need for liquidity in their investment and who can hold our securities for an indefinite period of time.

24

We have had a history of losses and may incur future losses, which may prevent us from attaining profitability.

We have had a history of operating losses since our inception and, as of March 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $37,698,831. We may incur operating losses in the future, and these losses could be substantial and impact our ability to attain profitability. We do not expect to significantly increase expenditures for product development, general and administrative expenses, and sales and marketing expenses; however, if we cannot increase revenue growth, we will not achieve or sustain profitability or positive operating cash flows. Even if we achieve profitability and positive operating cash flows, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability or positive operating cash flows on a quarterly or annual basis.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their report in our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 to the effect that our losses from operations and our negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. We may be required to cease operations which could result in our stockholders losing all or almost all of their investment.

Because we became a reporting company under the Exchange Act by means other than a traditional underwritten initial public offering, we may not be able to attract the attention of research analysts at major brokerage firms.

Because we did not become a reporting company by conducting an underwritten initial public offering, or IPO, of our common stock, and because our stock traded on OTC Pink rather than being listed on a national securities exchange, research analysts of brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our company. In addition, investment banks may be less likely to agree to underwrite secondary offerings on our behalf than they might if we were to become a public reporting company by means of an IPO because they may be less familiar with our company as a result of more limited coverage by analysts and the media, and because we became public at an early stage in our development.

Our common stock is subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, which may make it difficult for broker-dealers to complete customer transactions and could adversely affect trading activity in our securities.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock may be less than $5.00 per share for some period of time and therefore would be a “penny stock” according to SEC rules, unless we are listed on a national securities exchange. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:

make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;
receive the purchaser’s prior written agreement to the transaction;
provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in “penny stocks” and which describe the market for these “penny stocks” as well as a purchaser’s legal remedies; and
obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a “penny stock” can be completed.

If required to comply with these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may fluctuate in a way that is disproportionate to our operating performance.

Our stock price may experience substantial volatility as a result of a number of factors, including:

sales or potential sales of substantial amounts of our common stock;
the success of competitive products or technologies;
announcements about us or about our competitors, including new product introductions and commercial results;
the recruitment or departure of key personnel;
litigation and other developments;

25

actual or anticipated changes in estimates as to financial results, development timelines or recommendations by securities analysts;
variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us; and
general economic, industry and market conditions.

Many of these factors are beyond our control. The stock markets in general, and the market for Pink Sheet companies in particular, have historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market and industry factors could reduce the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

We currently have outstanding shares of preferred stock that have special rights that could limit our ability to undertake corporate transactions, inhibit potential changes of control and reduce the proceeds available to our common stockholders in the event of a change in control.

We currently have outstanding two classes of stock, common stock and preferred stock; the preferred stock consists of two series, one of which is designated as Series A Preferred Stock. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to holders of common stock at a conversion ratio of 15,000 votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock.

As a result of the rights our preferred stockholders have, we may not be able to undertake certain corporate transactions, including equity or debt offerings necessary to raise sufficient capital to run our business, change of control transactions or other transactions that may otherwise be beneficial to our businesses. These provisions may discourage, delay, or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which our common stockholders might otherwise receive a premium price for their shares. The market price of our common stock could be adversely affected by the rights of our preferred stockholders.

We have never paid and do not intend to pay cash dividends.

As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be our common stockholders’ sole source of gain for the foreseeable future. Under the terms of our existing Articles of Incorporation, we cannot declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any class or series of our capital stock, other than dividends on shares of common stock payable in shares of common stock, unless we pay dividends to the holders of our preferred stock. Additionally, without special stockholder and board approvals, we cannot currently pay or declare dividends and will be limited in our ability to do so until such time, if ever, that we are listed on a stock exchange.

Our sole director and chief executive officer has the ability to control all matters submitted to stockholders for approval, which limits minority stockholders’ ability to influence corporate affairs.

Our sole director and chief executive officer, Jason Remillard, holds 150,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (each share votes as the equivalent of 15,000 shares of common stock on all matters submitted for a vote by the common stockholders), and as such, Mr. Remillard would be able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, Mr. Remillard would control the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent a change of control of our company on terms that other stockholders may desire, which could deprive our stockholders from receiving a premium for their common shares. Concentrated ownership and control by Mr. Remillard could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Any material sales of common stock by Mr. Remillard, for example, could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

The interests of Mr. Remillard and his affiliates may differ from the interests of other stockholders with respect to the issuance of shares, business transactions with and/or sales to other companies, selection of officers and directors, and other business decisions. The non-controlling stockholders are severely limited in their ability to override the decisions of Mr. Remillard.

26

Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and under Nevada law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws, respectively, may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which our common stockholders might otherwise receive a premium price for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our common stock. In addition, because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors.

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public reporting company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

As a public reporting company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have imposed various requirements on public companies, including establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. Complying with these laws and regulations requires the time and attention of our board of directors and management, and increases our expenses. We estimate that we will incur approximately $150,000 to $200,000 in 2020 to comply with public company compliance requirements with many of those costs recurring annually thereafter.

Among other things, we will be required to:

maintain and evaluate a system of internal controls over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules and regulations of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
maintain policies relating to disclosure controls and procedures;
prepare and distribute periodic reports in compliance with our obligations under federal securities laws;
institute a more comprehensive compliance function, including corporate governance; and
involve, to a greater degree, our outside legal counsel and accountants in the above activities.

The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders are expensive and much greater than that of a privately-held company, and compliance with these rules and regulations may require us to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel, and will involve a material increase in regulatory, legal and accounting expenses and the attention of management. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the applicable regulations in a timely manner, if at all. In addition, being a public company makes it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. In the future, we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain this coverage.

We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

As a reporting company we are required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to include in our annual report our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We do not have a sufficient number of employees to segregate responsibilities and may be unable to afford increasing our staff or engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of employees.

We do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, our sole director has the ability, among other things, to determine his own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.

27

We currently have outstanding, and we may in the future issue, instruments which are convertible into shares of common stock, which will result in additional dilution to you.

We currently have outstanding instruments which are convertible into shares of common stock, and we may need to issue similar instruments in the future. In the event that these convertible instruments are converted into shares of common stock outstanding stock, or that we make additional issuances of other convertible or exchangeable securities, you could experience additional dilution. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will be able to issue shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors or the then current market price.

We may, in the future, issue additional shares of our common stock, which may have a dilutive effect on our current stockholders.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 3.8 billion shares of common stock, of which 1,483,888,915 shares were issued and outstanding as of June 04, 2021. The future issuance of our common shares may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common shares held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

An investment in our common stock is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.

An investment in our common stock is speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in us, including the risk of losing their entire investment.

If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.

Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation and access to capital. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical un-discovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal control that need improvement.

Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules implemented by the SEC required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, these rules and regulations increase our compliance costs and make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public company, these rules and regulations also may make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may at times be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. Thus, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers, and to maintain insurance at reasonable rates, or at all.

Our shares of common stock are thinly traded, and therefore the price may not accurately reflect our value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future.

Our shares of common stock are thinly traded. Only a small percentage of our common stock is available to be traded, and is held by a small number of holders and the price, if traded, may not reflect our actual or perceived value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our operating business, among other things. We will take certain steps including utilizing investor awareness campaigns, press releases, road shows and conferences to increase awareness of our business and any steps that we might take to bring us to the awareness of investors may require that we compensate consultants with cash and/or stock.

28

There can be no assurance that there will be any awareness generated or the results of any efforts will result in any impact on our trading volume. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business and trading may be at an inflated price relative to the performance of our company due to, among other things, availability of sellers of our shares. If a market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Because there may be a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms or clearing firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities or accept our shares for deposit in an account. Even if an investor finds a broker willing to affect a transaction in the shares of our common stock, the combination of brokerage commissions, transfer fees, taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of low priced shares of common stock as collateral for any loans.

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144 or upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, itWarrants, such sale could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in. In anticipation of which,an overhang, the market price of our common stock could fall.decline. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financingfunds through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may invest or spend the proceeds in ways with which you do not agree and in ways that may not yield a return.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section titled “Use of Proceeds”, and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary from their currently intended use. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to holders of our security holders.common stock.

Warrants The warrants offered hereby are speculative in nature.

The Warrants offered in this 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, commencing on the date of issuance, holders of the Warrants may exercise their right to acquire the common stock and pay an exercise price of $____$                  per share (100% of the assumed public offering price of a Unit), prior to five years from the date of issuance, after which date any unexercised Warrants will expire and have no further value. In addition, there is no established trading market for the Warrants and, although we intend to applyhave applied to list the warrantsWarrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market, there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop. The approval of such listing on theThe Nasdaq Capital Market is a condition of closing this offering. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the warrantsWarrants will be limited.

Holders of the Warrants will have no rights as a common stockholder until they acquire our common stock.

Until holders of the Warrants acquire shares of our common stock upon exercise of the Warrants, the holders will have no rights with respect to shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Upon exercise of the Warrants, the holder will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder as to the security exercised only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise.

Provisions of the Warrants offered by this Prospectus could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.

Certain provisions of the Warrants offered by this Prospectus could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. The Warrants prohibit us from engaging in certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions” unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the warrants.Warrants. These and other provisions of the Warrants offered by this Prospectus could prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us even where the acquisition could be beneficial to you.

Even if the reverse stock split achieves the requisite increase in the market price of our common stock, we cannot assure youThere is no guarantee that we will be able to continue to comply with the minimum bid price requirementcontinued listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Even if the reverse stock split achieves the requisite increase , and a failure to do so could result in the market pricea delisting of our common stock to be in compliance with the minimum bid price of the Nasdaq Capital Market, there.

There can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock following the reverse stock split will remain at the level required for continuing compliance with that requirement. It is not uncommon for the market priceThe Nasdaq Capital Market continued listing requirement of a company’s common stock to decline in the period followingminimum bid price above one dollar. There are a reverse stock split. If the market price of our common stock declines following the effectuation of the reverse stock split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split. In any event, other factors unrelated to the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, such asfactors, including negative financial or operational results, that could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and jeopardize our ability to meet or maintain theThe Nasdaq Capital Market’s minimum bid price requirement. The approval of such listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market is a condition of closing this offering.

Even if the reverse stock split increases the market price of our common stock and we meet the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, a failure of which could result in a de-listing of our common stock.

The Nasdaq Capital Market requires that the trading price of its listed stocks remain above one dollar in order for the stock to remain listed. If a listed stock trades below one dollar for more than 30 consecutive trading days, then it is subject to delisting from theThe Nasdaq Capital Market. In addition, to maintain a listing on theThe Nasdaq Capital Market we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, and certain corporate governanceshareholder approval requirements. If we are unable to satisfy these requirements or standards, we could be subject to delisting, which would have a negative effect on the price of our common stock and wouldcould impair your ability to sell or purchase our common stock when you wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, we would expect to take actions to restore our compliance with the listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our common stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price, or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below the minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with the listing requirements.

The reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our common stockOur .

The liquidity of the shares of our common stock may be affected adversely by the reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following the reverse stock split, especially if the market price of our common stock does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split. In addition, the reverse stock split may increase the number of shareholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our common stock, creating the potential for such shareholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty effecting such sales.

Following the reverse stock split, the resulting market price of our common stock may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. Consequently, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not improve.

Although we believe that a higher market price of our common stock may help generate greater or broader investor interest, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will result in aour share price that will attract new investors, including institutional investors. In addition, there can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock will satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. As a result, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not necessarily improve.

There is no assurance that Even once listed on theThe Nasdaq Capital Market, we will notthe share price of our common stock may continue to experience volatility in our share price.

The OTC Pink, tier, where our common stock is currently quoted, provides significantly less liquidity than theThe Nasdaq Capital Market. As such, investors and potential investors may find it difficult to obtain accurate stock price quotations, and holders of our common stock may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original offering price or at any price. Our public offering price per Unit may vary from the market price of our common stock after the offering. If an active market for our stock develops and continues, our stock price may nevertheless be volatile. If our stock experiences volatility, investors may not be able to sell their common stock at or above the public offering price per Unit. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock and our stock price may decline substantially in a short period of time. As a result, our shareholders could suffer losses or be unable to liquidate their holdings. No assurance can be given that the price of our common stock will become less volatile whenthan it is now once listed on theThe Nasdaq Capital Market.

Since our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink, our stockholders may face significant restrictions on the resale of our securities due to state “blue sky” laws and the sale of shares of our securities in this offering is subject to state “blue sky” laws.

Each state has its own securities laws, often called “blue sky” laws, which (i) limit sales of securities to a state’s residents unless the securities are registered in that state or qualify for an exemption from registration, and (ii) govern the reporting requirements for broker-dealers doing business directly or indirectly in the state. Before a security is sold in a state, there must be a registration in place to cover the transaction, or the transaction must be exempt from registration. The applicable broker must be registered in that state. We do not know whether our common stock will be registered or exempt from registration under the laws of any state. Since our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink, a determination regarding registration will be made by those broker-dealers, if any, who agree to serve as the market-makers for our common stock. There may be significant state blue sky law restrictions on the ability of investors to sell, and on purchasers to buy, our common stock. You should therefore consider the resale market for our common stock to be limited, as you may be unable to resell your common stock without the significant expense of state registration or qualification. In addition, since our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink, the shares of our common stock sold in this offering are not “covered securities” for purposes of the Securities Act. The term “covered security” applies to securities preempted under federal law from state securities registration requirements due to their oversight by federal authorities and self-regulatory authorities, such as national securities exchanges. Because our common stock is not a “covered security,” the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering is subject to compliance with “blue sky” laws in each state or an exemption therefrom.

Risks Related to the Covid-19 Pandemic

Adverse or uncertain macroeconomic or geopolitical conditions or reduced IT spending may adversely impact our business, revenues, and profitability.

Our business, operations and performance are dependent in part on worldwide economic conditions and events that may be outside of our control, such as political and social unrest, terrorist attacks, hostilities, malicious human acts, climate change, natural disasters (including extreme weather), pandemics or other major public health concerns and other similar events, and the impact these conditions and events have on the overall demand for enterprise computing infrastructure solutions and on the economic health and general willingness of our current and prospective end customers to purchase our solutions and to continue spending on IT in general. The global macroeconomic environment has been, and may continue to be, inconsistent, challenging and unpredictable due to international trade disputes, tariffs, including those recently imposed by the U.S. government on Chinese imports to the U.S., restrictions on sales and technology transfers, uncertainties related to changes in public policies such as domestic and international regulations, taxes, or international trade agreements, elections, geopolitical turmoil and civil unrests, instability in the global credit markets, uncertainties regarding the effects of the United Kingdom’s separation from the European Union, commonly known as “Brexit”, actual or potential government shutdowns, and other disruptions to global and regional economies and markets. Specifically, the recent and developing outbreak of a respiratory illness caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus that was named by the World Health Organization as COVID-19 (collectively with any future mutations or related strains thereof, “COVID-19”) has caused and may continue to cause travel bans or disruptions, supply chain delays and disruptions, and additional macroeconomic uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19 is fluid and uncertain, but it has caused, and COVID or a similar health crisis in the future may continue to cause, various negative effects, including an inability to meet with actual or potential customers, our end customers deciding to delay or abandon their planned purchases, us deciding to delay, cancel, or withdraw from user and industry conferences and other marketing events, and delays or disruptions in our or our OEM partners’ supply chains, including delays or disruptions in procuring and shipping the hardware appliances on which our software solutions run. As a result, we maycould experience extended sales cycles, our ability to close transactions with new and existing customers and partners may be negatively impacted, potentially significantly, our ability to recognize revenue from software transactions we do close may be negatively impacted, potentially significantly, our demand generation activities, and the efficiency and effect of those activities, may be negatively affected, our ability to provide 24x7 worldwide support and/or replacement parts to our end customers may be effected, and it has been and, until the COVID-19 outbreak is contained, willmay continue to be more difficult for us to forecast our operating results. These macroeconomic challenges and uncertainties, including the COVID-19, outbreak, have, and may continue to,in the future, put pressure on global economic conditions and overall IT spending and may cause our end customers to modify spending priorities or delay or abandon purchasing decisions, thereby lengthening sales cycles and potentially lowering prices for our solutions and product and services offerings, and may make it difficult for us to forecast our sales and operating results and to make decisions about future investments, any of which could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Public health threats or outbreaks of communicable diseases could have a material adverse effect on the Company’sour operations and overall financial performance.

The CompanyWe may face risks related to public health threats or outbreaks of communicable diseases. A global health crisis, such as the current outbreak of coronavirus or COVID-19, could adversely affect the United States and global economies and limit the ability of enterprises to conduct business for an indefinite period of time. The current outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted financial markets, and international trade, resulted in increased unemployment levels and significantly impacted global supply chains, all of which have the potential to impact our business and COVID-19 or a similar health crisis in the Company’s business.future, could do the same.

In addition,During the COVID-19 outbreak, government authorities have implemented various mitigation measures, including travel restrictions, limitations on business operations, stay-at-home orders, and social distancing protocols. TheIf similar measures are taken in the future, either because of COVID-19 or another health crisis, the economic impact of the aforementioned actions maycould impair our ability to sustain sufficient financial liquidity and impact our financial results. Specifically, the continued spread of COVID-19 or another health crisis, and efforts to contain the virusCOVID-19 or such other health crisis could: (i) result in an increase in costs related to delayed payments from customers and uncollectable accounts, (ii) cause a reduction in revenue related to late fees and other charges related to governmental regulations, (iii) cause delays and disruptions in the supply chain related to obtaining necessary materials for our network infrastructure or customer equipment, (iv) cause workforce disruptions, including the availability of qualified personnel; and (v) cause other unpredictable events.

As we cannot predict the duration or scope of thea future global health crisis, the anticipated negative financial impact to our operating results cannot be reasonably estimated but could be material and could last for an extended period of time.

Prolonged economic uncertainties or downturns could materially adversely affect our business.

Our business depends on our current and prospective customers’ ability and willingness to invest money in IT services, and more importantly cybersecurity projects, which in turn is dependent upon their overall economic health. Negative conditions in the general economy both in the United States and abroad, including conditions resulting from COVID-19 and numerous other factors beyond our control, could cause a decrease in business investments, including corporate spending on enterprise software in general, and could negatively affect the rate of growth of our business. Uncertainty in the global economy makes it extremely difficult for our customers and us to forecast and plan future business activities accurately. This could cause our customers to reevaluate decisions to purchase our product or to delay their purchasing decisions, which could lengthen our sales cycles.

We have aA significant number of our customers many of which arehave been and continue to be impacted significantly by the economic turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our customers may reduce their spending on IT; delay or cancel IT projects; focus on in-house development efforts; or seek to lower their costs by renegotiating maintenance and support agreements. To the extent purchases of licenses for our software and services are perceived by customers and potential customers to be discretionary, our revenues may be disproportionately affected by delays or reductions in general IT spending. If the economic conditions of the general economy or industries in which we operate worsen from present levels, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

IfIn addition, should we are unable to attract new customers and expand sales to existing customers, both domestically and internationally,have a significant number of our growthemployees contract the COVID-19 virus it could be slower than we expect, and our business may be harmed.

Our success will depend, in part,have a negative impact on our ability to support new and existing customer growth and maintain customer satisfaction. Due to COVID-19, our sales and marketing teams have avoided in-person meetings and are increasingly engaging withserve customers online and through other communications channels, including virtual meetings. While our revenues increased in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019, there is no guarantee that for the long run our sales and marketing teams will be as successful or effective using these other communications channels as they try to build relationships. If we cannot provide the tools and training to our teams to efficiently do their jobs and satisfy customer demands, we may not be able to achieve anticipated revenue growth as quickly as expected.a timely fashion.

Our future growth depends upon expanding sales of our products to existing customers and their organizations and receiving subscription and maintenance renewals. If our customers do not purchase additional licenses or capabilities, our revenues may grow more slowly than expected, may not grow at all, or may decline. There can be no assurance that our efforts would result in increased sales to existing customers (“upsells”) and additional revenues. If our efforts to upsell to our customers are not successful, our business would suffer. Our future growth also depends in part upon increasing our customer base, particularly those customers with potentially high customer lifetime values. Our ability to achieve significant growth in revenues in the future will depend, in large part, upon the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, both domestically and internationally, and our ability to attract new customers. Our ability to attract new customers may be adversely affected by the continued COVID-19 pandemic. If we fail to attract new customers and maintain and expand those customer relationships, our revenues may be adversely affected, and our business will be harmed.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $               from the sale of the                Units offered in this offering, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the Underwriter’sunderwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full, we estimate that our net proceeds will be approximately $              . We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders.

We intend to use $931,840the net proceeds of this offering to for general corporate purposes, working capital, potential acquisitions and to repay approximately $               of short-term debt obligations.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds to repay a secured promissory to Auctus Fund, LLC; and, $120,225from this offering. Our expected use of the net proceeds to repay a convertible promissory note to Quick Capital, LLC.

from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. The amounts and timing of our expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, and the actual allocation of proceeds realized from this offering will depend upon our operating revenues and cash position and our working capital requirements and may change. Therefore, asAs of the date of this Prospectus, we cannot specifypredict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering. Accordingly,offering or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. While we have discretion in the applicationno current agreements or commitments for any specific acquisitions at this time, we may use a portion of the net proceeds and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the proceeds of this offering.for these purposes.

Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments and U.S.United States government securities. We anticipate that the proceeds from this offering will enable us to further grow the business and increase cash flows from operations.

A 50% increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $        per Unit would increase (decrease) the expected net proceeds of the offering to us by approximately $          million, assuming that the number of shares of common stock sold by us remains the same. We may also increase or decrease the number of Units we are offering.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The offering price of the Units has been negotiated between the Underwriterunderwriter and us considering our historical performance and capital structure, prevailing market conditions, and overall assessment of our business. Each Unit consists of one share of our common stock and a warrantWarrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $                 , which is %100% of the assumed public offering price of the Units.

DILUTION

If you invest in our Units in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the assumed public offering price per share of common stock that is part of the Unit and the as adjustedas-adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after this offering.

Our net tangible book value is the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities. Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2021June 30, 2023 was ($5,132,870)$(8,702,040), or ($0.0036)$(.15) per share of common stock.

3429
 

As adjustedAs-adjusted net tangible book value is our net tangible book value after taking into account the effect of the sale of Units in this offering at the assumed public offering price of $$5 per Unit and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. Our as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2021June 30, 2023 would have been approximately $     $(2,262,000), or $$(.01) per share. This amount represents an immediate increase in as adjustedas-adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $$.14 per share to our existing stockholders, and an immediate dilution of $$5.01 per share to new investors participating in this offering. Dilution per share to new investors is determined by subtracting as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering from the public offering price per share paid by new investors.

The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

Assumed public offering price per share (attributing no value to the warrants) $ 
Net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2021 $(0.0036)
Increase in as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering $ 
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering $ 
Dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value per share to new investors $ 
Assumed public offering price per share (attributing no value to the warrants) $5 
Net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2023 $(.15)
Increase in as-adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering $.14 
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering $(.01)
Dilution in as-adjusted net tangible book value per share to new investors $5.01 

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $$1.00 per Unit would increase (decrease) the as adjustedas-adjusted net tangible book value per share by $       ,$.01, and the dilution per share to new investors in this offering by $        ,$5.00, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, assuming the number of Units offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus remains the same and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The information above assumes that the Underwriterunderwriter does not exercise its over-allotment option. If the Underwriterunderwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full, the as adjustedas-adjusted net tangible book value will increase to $$.0015 per share, representing an immediate increase to existing stockholders of $$.02 per share and an immediate dilution of $$.75 per share to new investors.

The foregoing discussion and table do not take into account further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding warrantsWarrants having a per share exercise price less than the per share offering price to the public in this offering.

We may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

The above discussion and table are based on 1,442,053,44259,363,988 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2021.June 30, 2023. The discussion and table do not include, as of that date:

shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock;

exercise of the Warrants;
exercise of the Underwriter’s Warrants; and
exercise of the Underwriter’sunderwriter’s option to purchase additional shares and/or warrantsthe Underwriter’s Warrants from us in this offering.

Overview

Our company was incorporated as LandStar, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on May 4, 1998, for the purpose of purchasing, developing and reselling real property, with its principal focus on the development of raw land. From incorporation through December 31, 1998, we had no business operations and was a development-stage company. We did not purchase or develop any properties and decided to change our business plan and operations. On March 31, 1999, we acquired approximately 98.5% of the common stock of Rebound Rubber Corp. (“Rebound Rubber”) pursuant to a share exchange agreement with Rebound Rubber and substantially all of Rebound Rubber’s shareholders. The acquisition was effected by issuing 14,500,100 shares of common stock, which constituted 14.5% of the 100,000,000 of our authorized shares, and 50.6% of the 28,622,100 issued and outstanding shares on completion of the acquisition.

The share exchange with Rebound Rubber (and other transactions occurring in March 1999) resulted in a change of control and the appointment of new officers and directors. These transactions also changed our focus to the development and utilization of technology to de-vulcanize and reactivate recycled rubber for resale as a raw material in the production of new rubber products. Our business strategy was to sell the de-vulcanized material (and compounds using the materials) to manufacturers of rubber products.

Prior to 2001 we had no revenues. In 2001 and 2002 revenues were derived from management services rendered to a rubber recycling company.

In August 2001, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to authorize 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 150,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. We may designate preferred stock into specific classes by action of our board of directors. In May 2008, our board of directors established a class of Convertible Preferred Series A (the “Series A”), authorizing 10,000,000 shares. When established, among other things, (i) each share of Series A was convertible into 1,000 shares of our common stock, and (ii) a holder of Series A was entitled to vote 1,000 shares of common stock for each share of Series A on all matters submitted to a vote by stockholders.

38

In September 2008, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares to 985,000,000, $0.001 par value per share, further amended the Articles in January 2009 to increase the number of authorized shares to 4,000,000,000, and in January 2010 amended our Articles to increase the number of authorized shares to 8,888,000,000.

We were effectively dormant for a number of years. In or around February 2014, there was a change in control whereby Kevin Hayes acquired 1,000,000 shares of the Series A and was appointed as our sole director and officer. In or around April 2017, there was another change in control when Mr. Hayes sold the 1,000,000 shares of Series A to Hybrid Titan Management, which then proceeded to assign the Series A to William Alessi. Mr. Alessi was then appointed as our sole director and officer. Mr. Alessi initiated legal action in his home state of North Carolina to confirm, among other things, his ownership of the Series A; his “control” over the company, and the status of creditors of the company. In or around June 2017, the court entered judgment in favor of Mr. Alessi, confirming his majority ownership and control of the company.

In or around July 2017, while under the majority ownership and management of Mr. Alessi, we sought to effect a merger transaction (the “Merger”) under which the company would be merged into Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Data443”). Data443 was originally formed under the name LandStar, Inc. The name of the North Carolina corporation was changed to Data443 in December 2017. In November 2017, our controlling interest was acquired by our current chief executive officer and sole board member, Jason Remillard, when he acquired all of the Series A shares from Mr. Alessi. In that same transaction, Mr. Remillard also acquired all of the shares of Data443 from Mr. Alessi. Mr. Remillard was then appointed as our sole director and sole officer and of Data443.

In January 2018, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Myriad Software Productions, LLC, which was owned 100% by Mr. Remillard. Those assets were comprised of the software program known as ClassiDocs®, and all intellectual property and goodwill associated therewith. As a result of the acquisition, the Company was no longer a “shell” under applicable securities rules. In consideration for the acquisition, we agreed to a purchase price of $1,500,000, comprised of: (i) $50,000 paid at closing; (ii) $250,000 in the form of a promissory note; and (iii) $1,200,000 in shares of our common stock, valued as of the closing, which equated to 1,200,000,000 shares of our common stock. The shares have not yet been issued and are not included as part of our issued and outstanding shares. However, these shares have been recorded as “Acquisition of ClassiDocs” included in additional paid in capital within our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2019.

In April 2018, we amended the designation for our Series A by providing that a holder of Series A was entitled to (i) vote 15,000 shares of common stock for each share of Series A on all matters submitted to a vote by stockholders, and (ii) convert each share of Series A into 1,000 shares of our common stock.

In May 2018, the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation. The total authorized number of shares is 8,888,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, designated in the discretion of our board of directors. The Series A remains in full force and effect.

In June 2018, after careful analysis and in reliance upon professional advisors we retained, it was determined that the Merger had, in fact, not been completed, and that the Merger was not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. As such, the Merger was legally terminated. In place of the Merger, in June 2018, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Data443 (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Data443 became our wholly-owned subsidiary, with both the Company and Data443 continuing to exist as corporate entities. As consideration in the Share Exchange, we agreed to issue to Mr. Remillard: (a) 100,000,000 shares of our common stock and (b) on the eighteen-month anniversary of the closing of the Share Exchange (the “Earn Out Date”), an additional 100,000,000 shares of our common stock, provided that Data443 has at least an additional $1,000,000 in revenue by the Earn Out Date (not including revenue directly from acquisitions). None of the shares of our common stock to be issued to Mr. Remillard under the Share Exchange have been issued. As such, none of said shares are included as part of our issued and outstanding shares. However, these shares have been recorded as “Share exchange with related party for Data443 additional share issuable” included in additional paid in capital within our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2019.

39

On or about June 29, 2018, we secured the rights to the WordPress GDPR Framework through our wholly-owned subsidiary Data443 for a total consideration of €40,001, or approximately $46,521, payable in four payments of approximately €10,000, with the first payment due at closing, and the remaining payments due at the end of July, August, and September 2018. Upon issuance of the final payment, we gained the right to enter into an asset transfer agreement for the nominal cost of one euro (€1).

On or about October 22, 2018, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Modevity, LLC (“Modevity”) to acquire certain assets collectively known as ARALOC®, a software-as-a service (“SaaS”) platform that provides cloud-based data storage, protection, and workflow automation. The acquired assets consist of intellectual and related intangible property including applications and associated software code, and trademarks. Access to books and records related to the customers and revenues Modevity created on the ARALOC platform were also included in the asset purchase agreement. These assets were substantially less than the total assets of Modevity, and revenues from the platform comprised a portion of the overall sales of Modevity. We are required to create the technical capabilities to support the ongoing operation of this SaaS platform. A substantial effort on our part is needed to continue generating ARALOC revenues through development of a sales force, as well as billing and collection processes. We paid Modevity (i) $200,000 in cash, (ii) $750,000, in the form of a 10-month promissory note, and (iii) 164,533,821 shares of our common stock.

On or around February 7, 2019, the Company entered into an Exclusive License and Management Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Wala, Inc. (“Wala”). Under the License Agreement the Company was granted the exclusive right and license to receive all benefits from the marketing, selling, and licensing of the data archiving platform known as ArcMail and all assets related thereto (the “ArcMail Assets”). In connection with the License Agreement, the Company also executed (i) a Stock Rights Agreement, under which the Company had the right to acquire all shares of stock of Wala; and, (ii) a Business Covenants Agreement, under which Wala and its CEO agreed to not compete with the Company’s use of the ArcMail assets for a designated period of time. The License Agreement, Stock Rights Agreement, and Business Covenants Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “ArcMail Agreements”).

On June 21, 2019, the Company filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation to increase the total number authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from 8,888,000,000 shares to 15,000,000,000 shares.

On September 16, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with DMBGroup, LLC to acquire certain assets collectively known as DataExpressTM, a software platform for secure sensitive data transfer within the hybrid cloud. The total purchase price of approximately $2.8 million consists of: (i) a $410,000 cash payment at closing; (ii) a promissory note in the amount of $940,000, payable in the amount of $41,661 over 24 monthly payments starting on October 15, 2019, accruing at a rate of 6% per annum; (iii) assumption of approximately $98,000 in liabilities and, (iv) approximately 2,465,753 shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, these shares have not been issued and are recorded as “Stock issuable for asset purchase” included in additional paid in capital.

On October 14, 2019, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc., and to effect a 1-for-750 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common and preferred shares, each with $0.001 par value, and to reduce the numbers of authorized common and preferred shares to 60,000,000 and 337,500, respectively. On October 28, 2019, the name change and the split and changes in authorized common and preferred shares was effected, resulting in approximately 7,282,678,714 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock to be reduced to approximately 9,710,239, and 1,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s preferred shares to be reduced to 1,334 as of October 28, 2019. All per share amounts and number of shares, including the authorized shares, in the consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split and decrease in authorized common and preferred shares.

On March 05, 2020 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock to 250,000,000. On April 15, 2020 the Company further amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock to 750,000,000. On August 17, 2020 the Company again amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock to 1.5 billion. On November 25, 2020 the Company filed a Certificate of Designation to authorize and create its Series B Preferred shares, consisting of 80,000 shares.

Outlook

Our objective is to further integrate our suite of data security, ransomware protection, and privacy products and offer the products alone or in combination to enterprise customers directly and via our partner channels. We aim to position our products to meet the challenges our customers face - data privacy concerns grow in lockstep with security breaches, the need to continually expand data storage, and to meet telework, telehealth, and remote learning requirements.

We have relied on and expect to continue to benefit from strategic acquisitions of products, talent, and an established customer base to contribute to our long-term growth objectives.

Key elements of our growth strategy may be summarized as follows:

Acquisitions. We intend to aggressively pursue acquisitions of other cybersecurity software and service providers focused on the delivery datedata security sector. We target companies with a developed and/or steady client base, as well as companies with offerings that complement our existing suite of products.

Research & Development; Innovation. We intend to increase our spending on research and development to create new and innovative products and to improve existing products, proactively identifying and solving the data security needs of our clients.

Grow Our Customer Base. We believe the continued challenges businesses face in managing their enterprise data and the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats will keep the demand high for the shares;type of products and Triton’s ownership not exceeding 9.9%services we offer. We intend to capitalize on this demand by continually developing and curating a collection of products and services that are attractive and relevant to both our established revenue base and to new customers.

Expand Our Sales Capacity. We believe that continuing to expand our sales force will be essential to achieving our expansion and growth. We intend to expand our sales capacity by adding sales and marketing employees, with heavy focus on customer success and leveraging our existing customer relationships.

Management’s Plans

Our plan is to continue to grow our business through strategic acquisitions, and then expand selling across our subsidiaries and affiliated companies. During the next twelve months, we anticipate incurring costs related to (i) filing of Exchange Act reports; and (ii) operating our businesses. We will require additional operating capital to maintain and continue operations. We will need to raise additional capital through debt or equity financing, and there is no assurance we will be able to raise the necessary capital.

While we primarily report income based on recognized and deferred revenue, another measurement internally for the business is booked revenues. Management uses this measure to track numerous indicators such as: contract value growth; initial contract value per customer; and certain other values that change quarter-over-quarter. These results may also be subject to, and impacted by, sales compensation plans, internal performance objectives, and other activities. We continue to increase revenue from our existing operations. We generally recognize revenue from customers ratably over the terms of their subscription, which is generally one year at a time. As a result, a substantial portion of the issuedrevenue we report in each period is attributable to the recognition of deferred revenue relating to agreements that we executed during previous periods. Consequently, any increase or decline in new sales or renewals in any one period will not be immediately reflected in our revenue for that period. Any such change, however, would affect our revenue in future periods. Accordingly, the effect of downturns or upturns in new sales and outstanding sharespotential changes in our rate of renewals may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods.

Recent Developments

On May 11, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to purchase certain assets (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Appointed Receiver for the Assets of Cyren Ltd (the “Receiver”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Receiver sold, transferred, assigned, conveyed and delivered to the Company, at any time. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 withand we purchased from Receiver, all right, title, and interest in and to certain assets in the SEC on December 28, 2020.

Revenue

The decrease in revenue has partially resulted from some sales that were originally forecasted for the second quarter of 2023 being pulled forward to the first quarter of 2023. In addition, two of our larger customers opted for annual renewals instead of a multi-year, paid-up-front renewals.. We have restarted several of our lead generation and funnel movement activities throughout the second quarter of 2023. Our existing customers continue to evaluate our offerings for multiple products at a time, rather than singular use cases, which continues to build on organic growth from our customers that come from our acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

The following table provides selected financial data about our company as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

  June 30,  December 31,  Change

Working capital deficiency $(10,008,138) $(8,479,172) $(1,528,966)  (18)%

We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including outlays for capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2023, we had cash balance of $15,904 and our principal sources of liquidity were trade accounts receivable of $3,147, and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $273,169, as compared to cash of $1,712 trade accounts receivable of $31,978, and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $91,204 as of December 31, 2022.

During the last three years, and through the date of this Report, we have faced an increasingly challenging liquidity situation that has limited our ability to execute our operating plan. We will need to obtain capital to continue operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure such funding on acceptable terms. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we reported a loss from operations of $1,587,878.

As of June 30, 2023, we had assets of cash in the amount of $15,904 and other current assets in the amount of $276,306. As of June 30, 2023, we had current liabilities of $10,300,348. Our accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2023 was $52,060,481.

As of December 31, 2022, we had assets of cash in the amount of $1,712 and other current assets in the amount of $123,182. As of December 31, 2022, we had current liabilities of $8,604,066. Our accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2022 was $51,412,128.

The revenues generated from our current operations will not be sufficient to fund our planned growth. We will require additional capital to continue to operate our business, and to further expand our business. Sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements with third parties may include equity or debt financing, bank loans or revolving credit facilities. We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. Unless we can attract additional investment, our operating as a going concern is in doubt.

We have determined that additional capital will be required in the form of equity or debt securities. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may have to cease filing the required reports and cease operations completely. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity securities or by issuing common stock to pay current or future obligations, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the common stock.

COVID-19 UpdateOff-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company continues to closely monitor developments and is taking steps to mitigate the potential risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic to the Company, its employees and its customers. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business and operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain. While in the near-term we may experience reductions in our billing and revenue growth rates, we are proactively managing expenditures, including reductionsAs of non-critical and discretionary expenses, while preserving strategic investment in sales capacity and still seeking new acquisition targets and opportunities. To protect our employees while continuing to provide the services needed by our clients the Company continues to limit customer contact, and continues to minimize employee contact with other employees by having our employees work remotely while they shelter in place as required by local regulations. The dedication of our employees and their work ethic have allowed us to continue providing critical services to our customers during these challenging times.

Due to the pandemic, we have been forced to adapt and change the way we have historically operated. At the end of the first quarter of 2020, we temporarily closed our office and instructed our employees to work remotely as a precautionary measure intended to minimize the risk of the virus to them, our customers, partners, and the communities in which we operate. Towards the end of the second quarter of 2020, we cautiously and gradually started to open our office. WhileJune 30, 2023, we did not require employees to work from our office, we did ensure all required adjustments were made and all local regulations and recommendations were met to ensure the safety of our employees should they voluntarily choose to work from our office. As part of the move to remote work and virtual-only customer experience, we have had to postpone or cancel customer and industry events, as well as travel to visit potential customers, or conduct them virtually. We cannot predict with certainty the impact these changes may have on our sales.any off-balance sheet arrangements.

We believe that the impact of COVID-19 has increased the long-term opportunity that we see to help our customers protect their data and detect threats, as well as achieve regulatory compliance. Nevertheless, in the early stages of the pandemic, we experienced some negative impact on our results of operations in the last two weeks of the first quarter of 2020, as we believe our customers’ focus turned primarily to the safety of their employees and to positioning themselves to operate under a work-from-home environment. However, since that time, we have seen companies pivot from that emergency mode to become more focused on the elevated risks associated with having a highly distributed workforce. Companies around the world now have the majority of their employees working from potentially vulnerable home networks, accessing critical on-premises data stores and infrastructure through VPNs and in cloud data stores. We believe that the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased the threat of cybercrime, and that we remain positioned to help our clients protect against data and infrastructure against cybercrime. This has resulted in increase in traffic to our website. During the third and fourth quarters of 2020, as existing customers and prospects continued to adjust to the new working practices, we saw some of this interest convert into new business or the expansion of existing business. While we are encouraged by these trends, we continue to see corporate expenditures subject to elevated scrutiny in the current environment. We have also been unable to travel to meet with prospective new clients, which has impacted our ability to convert prospects into new clients. We anticipate that as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, it will continue to be challenging to estimate conversion rates of prospective business into actual new client.

Through March 31, 2021, there has not been a noticeable increase in accounts receivable for the Company. However, it is likely that if the COVID-19 pandemic persists and state stay-at-home orders remain in place, it is likely that more customers will be unable to keep their bills current. Further, while we have not yet experienced any interruption to our normal materials and supplies process, it is impossible to predict whether COVID-19 will cause future interruptions and delays.

42

Through March 31, 2021 we have not had any of our employees contract the COVID-19 virus. Should we have a significant number of our employees contract the COVID-19 virus it could have a negative impact on our ability to serve customers in a timely fashion.

CARES Act

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020. There are several different provisions with the CARES Act that impact income taxes for corporations. While we continue to evaluate the tax implications, we believe these provisions will not have a material impact to the financial statements.

Additionally, the Company has applied for, and has received, funds under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) after the period covered in these financial statements in the amount of $339,000. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on our having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on our future adherence to the forgiveness criteria.

The PPP Loan has a two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for six months after the date of disbursement. The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The promissory note issued in connection with the PPP Loan contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type.

The PPP Loan is being used to retain our employees, as well as for other permitted uses under the terms and conditions of the PPP Loan.

The Company also received a $150,000 loan (the “EID Loan”) from the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) under the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program. The Company received the loan proceeds on or around May 27, 2020. The EID Loan has a thirty year term and bears interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for twelve months after the date of disbursement. The EID Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties, and is otherwise repaid at the rate of $731 per month. The proceeds from the EID Loan must be used for working capital. The Loan Authorization and Agreement and the Note executed by the Company in connection with the EID Loan contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type.

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are requiredin the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities theand disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenuesincome and expensesexpense during the reporting periods.periods presented.

Critical accountingOur critical estimates include revenue recognition and intangible assets. Although we believe that these estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material.

43

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actualactual results could differ from those estimates.

While our significantestimates given a change in conditions or assumptions that have been consistently applied. We also have other policies that we consider key accounting policies, such as our policy for revenue recognition, however, the application of these policies does not require us to make significant estimates or judgments that are described in more detail in Note 2 of our consolidated Quarterly financial statements included in this Prospectus, we believe the followingdifficult or subjective.

The critical accounting policies to be critical toused by management and the judgmentsmethodology for its estimates and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:assumptions are as follows:

Assumption as a Going Concern

Management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, given our current financial position and lack of liquidity, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Convertible Financial Instruments

The Company bifurcatesWe bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable GAAP.

When the Company haswe have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stockCommon Stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

The issuance of the convertible debt issued by the Companydescribed in Note 9, below, generated a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The CompanyWe recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stockCommon Stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of common stockCommon Stock per share on the commitment date, resulting in a discount on the convertible debt (recorded as a component of additional paid inpaid-in capital).

44

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchydiscount is amortized to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requiresinterest expense over the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurementterm of the instrument.convertible debt.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

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. For non-employees, as per ASU No. 2018-7, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-BasedStock-Based Payment Accounting, remeasurement is not required. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded by us in the same expense classifications in the consolidated statements of operations, as if such amounts were paid in cash. Also, refer to Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the consolidated financial statements that are included in this Prospectus.

Deferred Tax Assets and Income Taxes Provision

The Company adopted the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.Quarterly Report.

Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company has incurred recurring losses and presently has no revenue-producing business; (b) general economic conditions; and, (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by wayState of a public or private offering, among other factors.

Outlook

Our continued objective is to further integrate our growing suite of proven industry leading data security and privacy offerings and deliver the combined offering to our growing stable of enterprise and medium-sized clients directly and via our partner channel. Data privacy concerns continue to grow lockstep with security breaches and ongoing expansion of data storage, consumption, and spread of telework, telehealth and remote learning requirements.

North Carolina. We have utilized, and expect to continue to utilize, acquisitions to contribute to our long-term growth objectives. During fiscal 2021 we hope to continue to acquire complimentary business assets and client bases. Some of the key element to our growth strategy include, without limitation:

Improve and extend our technological capabilities, domestically and internationally.
Further integrate our product offerings to provide an unmatched data privacy platform.
Focus on underserved markets, such as sports teams (at all levels) and medium-sized businesses.
Deliver capabilities via unconventional channels, including open-source and “freemium” and trial subscription models.
Leverage our existing relationships for professional references, association and internal private industry level promotional events and other high-value and successful product positional activities.
Be prepared to capture and execute on opportunities in the acquisition marketplace.
Continued focus on net bookings with minimum long-term contract value.
Improve SaaS Services with high increasing ‘attach’ rate for additional capabilities.
Increase year-over-year conversions from perpetual one-time contract sales to multiyear recurring subscription revenue agreements.

While we report primarily income based on recognized and deferred revenue, another measurement internally for the business is booked revenues. Management utilizes this measure to track numerous indicators such as: contract value growth; initial contract value per customer; and, certain other values that change quarter-over-quarter. These results may also be subject to, and impacted by, sales compensation plans, internal performance objectives, and other activities. We continue to increase revenue from our existing operations. We generally recognize revenue from customers ratably over the terms of their subscription, which is generally one year at a time. As a result, a substantial portion of the revenue we report in each period is attributable to the recognition of deferred revenue relating to agreements that we entered into during previous periods. Consequently, any increase or decline in new sales or renewals in any one period will not be immediately reflected in our revenue for that period. Any such change, however, would affect our revenue in future periods. Accordingly, the effect of downturns or upturns in new sales and potential changes in our rate of renewals may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods.

In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported in China; in January 2020 the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern;, and, in March 2020 the WHO declared it a pandemic. The long-term impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments including the duration, spread, severity, and potential recurrence of the virus. Our future performance will also depend on the impact of COVID-19 on our customers, partners, employee productivity, and sales cycles, including as a result of travel restrictions. These potential developments are uncertain and cannot be predicted and as such, the extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business, operations, financial condition, and results of operations over the long term is unknown. Furthermore, due to our shift to a predominantly subscription model, the effect of COVID-19 may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods.

46

While we are actively managing our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, its impact on our year 2021 results and beyond is uncertain. We continue to conduct business as usual with modifications to employee travel, employee work locations, customer interactions, and cancellation of certain marketing events, among other things. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, suppliers, and stockholders. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our longer-term operational and financial performance remains uncertain. Furthermore, due to our subscription-based business model, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods, if at all. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will depend on several factors, including the pace of reopening the economy around the world; the possible resurgence in the spread of the virus; the development cycle of therapeutics and vaccines; the impact on our customers and our sales cycles; the impact on our customer, employee, and industry events; and the effect on our vendors. Please see the section titled “Risk Factors,” in this Prospectus for a further description of the material risks we currently face, including the risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020

Revenue

We recognized $838,000 of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $478,000 in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020. We had net billings for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $624,000 compared to $603,000 in the prior year period. Deferred revenues are $1,287,000 as of March 31, 2021, a decrease of $231,000 from $1,518,000 as of December 31, 2020.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 amounted to $1,434,000 as compared to $1,425,000 for the three months ended year ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $8,000, or 1%. The expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily consisted of management costs, costs to integrate assets we acquired and to expand sales, audit and review fees, filing fees, professional fees, and other expenses, including the re-classification of sales-related management expenses, in connection with the projected growth of the Company’s business. Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 consisted of primarily the same items.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 amounted to $95,000 as compared to $121,000 for the three months ended year ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $25,000, or 21%. The expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily consisted of developing a sales operation, with some previously reported expenses, primarily management costs, reclassified to general and administrative expenses. Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 consisted of primarily the same items.

The net loss of $10,181,000 was mainly due to a net operating loss $1,103,000 and a loss from change in fair value of derivative liability of $8,506,000, associated with convertible notes payable.

Provision for Income Tax

No provision for income taxes was recorded in either the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020, as we have incurred taxable losses in both periods.

CASH FLOW FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including outlays for capital expenditures. As of March 31, 2021, our principal sources of liquidity were cash or cash equivalents of $53,000; trade accounts receivable of $37,000; and, other current assets of $9,000, as compared to cash or cash equivalents of $59,000; and trade accounts receivable of $137,000 as of December 31, 2020.

During the last two years, and through April 14, 2021 (the date our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021 was filed), we have faced an increasingly challenging liquidity situation that has impacted our ability to execute our operating plan. We started generating revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018, and we have continued to increase revenue through April 14, 2021 as we have actively sought to grow our business in the data security market. We have also been required to maintain our corporate existence; satisfy the requirements of being a public company; and, have chosen to become a mandatory filer with the SEC. We will need to obtain capital to continue operations. There is no assurance that our Company will be able to secure such funding on acceptable (or any) terms. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we reported a loss from operations of $858,000 and $1,102,000, respectively; and, used cash flows from operating activities totaling $384,000 and $343,000, respectively, for the same periods. We had a beginning cash balance of $59,000 as of January 01, 2021, and a beginning cash balance of $19,000 as of January 01, 2020.

As of March 31, 2021, we had assets of cash in the amount of $53,000 and other current assets in the amount of $46,000. As of March 31, 2021, we had current liabilities of $3,236,000. The Company’s accumulated deficit was $37,699,000.

As of March 31, 2020, we had assets of cash in the amount of $70,000 and other current assets in the amount of $40,000. As of March 31, 2020, we had current liabilities of $17,899,000. The Company’s accumulated deficit was $31,792,000.

The revenues, if any, generated from our acquisitions alone will not be sufficient to fund our operations or planned growth. We will require additional capital to continue to operate our business, and to further expand our business. Sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements with third parties may include equity or debt financing, bank loans or revolving credit facilities. We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. Unless the Company can attract additional investment, the future of the Company operating as a going concern is in serious doubt.

We are now obligated to file annual, quarterly, and current reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) and the rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board have imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities of ours more time- consuming and costly. In order to meet the needs to comply with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act, we will need investment of capital.

48

Management has determined that additional capital will be required in the form of equity or debt securities. There is no assurance that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company.

If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may have to cease filing the required reports and cease operations completely. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity securities or by issuing common stock to pay current or future obligations, the percentage ownership of our shareholders will be reduced, shareholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the common stock.

Cash on hand $53,060  $69,643  $(16,583)

Operating Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, our Company used $384,000 in operating activities, compared to $343,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Cash used in operation activities was primarily due to an increase in operating liabilities.

Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we used funds in investing activities of $79,000 to acquire equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we used funds in investing activities of $4,000 to acquire furniture and fixtures.

Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 we raised net proceeds of $160,000 through the issuance of our Series B Convertible Stock in the gross amount of $169,000. We also raised net proceeds of $654,000 through the issuance of our common stock. We raised proceeds of $65,000 through loans from related parties and repaid $168,000 to related parties. We raised net proceeds of $100,000 through the issuance of our convertible note and net proceeds of $925,000 through the issuance of our notes payable, and repaid $1,257,000 on notes payable. By comparison, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, we raised net proceeds of $497,000 through the issuance of our convertible promissory notes in the gross amount of $540,000. We also raised net proceeds of $190,000 through the issuance of our promissory notes and repaid $203,245 on a note payable. We raised proceeds of $83,000 through loans from related parties and repaid $161,000 to related parties.

We are dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund our ongoing operations and to execute our business plan for growth in the data security market. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, we may not be able to implement our plan of operations.

Going Concern

The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 included in this Prospectus have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that our Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our Company has generated very limited revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of our company to obtain necessary financing to achieve our operating objectives, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of March 31, 2021, our Company has an accumulated deficit of $37,699,000. We do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our plan of operation for the next twelve months.

49

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above in their report on the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity or debt securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any additional capital.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Management’s Plans

Our plan is to continue to grow our business through strategic acquisitions, and then expand selling across our subsidiaries and affiliated companies. During the next twelve months, we anticipate incurring costs related to (i) filing of Exchange Act reports; and, (ii) operating our businesses. We will require additional operating capital to maintain and continue operations. We will need to raise additional capital through debt or equity financing, and there is no assurance we will be able to raise the necessary capital.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019

Revenue

The increase in revenue was primarily due to revenues from assets acquired during 2020.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue consists of direct expense, such as sales commission, shipping, and supplies. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to an increase in revenue.

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 our operating expenses are as follows:

  Year Ended    
  December 31,    
  2020  2019  Change

General and Administrative Expenses

The general and administrative expenses primarily consisted of management costs, costs to integrate assets we acquired and to expand sales, product enhancements, audit and review fees, filing fees, professional fees, and other expenses related to SEC reporting, including the re-classification of sales-related management expenses, in connection with the projected growth of the Company’s business. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to an increase in amortization of intangible assets, payroll expense, professional fees.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

The sales and marketing expenses primarily consisted of developing a sales operation, with some previously reported expenses, primarily management costs, reclassified to general and administrative expenses. The decrease in sales and marketing expense was primarily due to a decrease in consulting and management costs.

Other income (expense)

Other income for the year ended December 31, 2020 consisted of interest expense, loss on change in fair value of derivative, and loss on settlement and extinguishment of debt. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2019 consisted of interest expense, gain on change in fair value of derivative, gain on contingent liability, and loss on settlement on lawsuit. The increase in other income was primarily due to change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

Net Loss

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was mainly derived from an operating loss of $3,900,485, and loss on change in fair value of derivative liability of $7,406,416. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was mainly derived from an operating loss of $3,934,079, due in part by increased general and administrative costs and reduced by other net income of $3,326,708, which was mainly from a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability of $7,238,498.

We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including outlays for capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2020, our principal sources of liquidity were cash of $58,783 and trade accounts receivable of $136,503, as compared to cash of $18,673, trade accounts receivable of $63,556, inventory of $8,301 and other current assets of $807 as of December 31, 2019.

51

During the last two years, and through March 23, 2021 (the date our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 was filed), we have faced an increasingly challenging liquidity situation that has severely limited our ability to execute our operating plan. We generated no revenue until the fourth quarter of 2018, though we have actively prepared to initiate business in the data security market. We have also been required to maintain our corporate existence, satisfy the requirements of being a public company, and have chosen to become a mandatory filer with the SEC. We will need to obtain capital to continue operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure such funding on acceptable (or any) terms. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we reported a loss from operations of $3,900,485 and $3,934,079, respectively, and had negative cash flows used in operating activities of $758,479 and $828,437, respectively, for the same periods.

As of December 31, 2020, we had assets of cash in the amount of $58,783 and other current assets in the amount of $136,503. As of December 31, 2020, we had current liabilities of $5,617,390. The Company’s accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2020 was $35,518,584.

As of December 31, 2019, we had assets of cash in the amount of $18,673 and other current assets in the amount of $72,664. As of December 31, 2019, we had current liabilities of $9,494,908. The Company’s accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2019 was $21,610,915. The decrease in working capital deficiency was primarily due to a decrease in derivative liability, offset by an increase in deferred revenue, convertible notes, due to related party and license fee payable.

The revenues, if any, generated from our acquisitions alone will not be sufficient to fund our operations or planned growth. We will require additional capital to continue to operate our business, and to further expand our business. Sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements with third parties may include equity or debt financing, bank loans or revolving credit facilities. We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. Unless the Company can attract additional investment, the future of the Company operating as a going concern is in serious doubt.

We are now obligated to file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) and the rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board have imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities of ours more time-consuming and costly. In order to meet the needs to comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act, we will need investment of capital.

Management has determined that additional capital will be required in the form of equity or debt securities. There is no assurance that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company.

If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may have to cease filing the required reports and cease operations completely. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity securities or by issuing common stock to pay current or future obligations, the percentage ownership of our shareholders will be reduced, shareholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the common stock.

Operating Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2020, our Company used $758,479 in operating activities, compared to $828,437 during the year ended December 31, 2019. Cash used in operation activities was primarily due to an increase in operating liabilities.

Investing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we used funds in investing activities of $315,000 to acquire intellectual property and $146,400 to acquire property and equipment. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we used funds in investing activities of $269,309 to acquire intellectual property and $10,629 to acquire property and equipment.

Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2020 we raised $50,000 through the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock; $1,502,250 from issuance of convertible debt; $2,147,996 from issuance of notes payable; and, $299,173 from loan from related party, offset in part through repayment of $1,689,846 on notes payable; repayment to related party of $976,257 and, $73,327 of capital lease payments. By comparison, during the year ended December 31, 2019 we raised $500,000 through the issuance of approximately 557,936 shares of our common stock and warrants to acquire approximately 291,219 shares of our common stock on a post reverse split basis, $440,000 for stock subscriptions of commons stock and warrants to be issued later, and $676,000 from issuance of convertible debt, $215,120 from issuance of notes payable, $12,900 from loan form related party, offset in part through repayment of $650,000 on notes payable, repayment to related party of $371,623 and $20,284 of capital lease payments.

We are dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund our ongoing operations and to execute our business plan. In addition, we are dependent upon our controlling shareholder to provide continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, we may not be able to implement our plan of operations.

Going Concern

The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 included in this Prospectus have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that our company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our Company has generated very limited revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of our company to obtain necessary financing to achieve our operating objectives, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of December 31, 2020, our Company has an accumulated deficit of $35,518,584. We do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our plan of operation for the next twelve months.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above in their report on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity or debt securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any additional capital.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the following transactions occurred:

On April 14, 2021, the Company received net proceeds of $76,196.00 from a third party on behalf of the amounts owed to the Company by Triton.

On April 21, 2021, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 1.8 billion to 3.8 billion in order to satisfy the share reserve requirement under the Auctus financing closed on April 23, 2021, as described in the next paragraph.

On 22 April 2021 the Company issued 17,845,072 shares of its common stock upon the cashless exercise of a warrant. The issuance was exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On 23 April 2021, the Company entered into and closed a financing transaction pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Auctus Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Auctus”).

The Note is secured by a security interest in the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”). Timely payment under the Note is further secured by the issuance of Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Second Warrant”) to Auctus for 110,933,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.0075, exercisable only in the event of a default under the Note. Interest on the Principal Amount of the Note accrues at the rate of 12% per annum, which amount is fully due and owing upon the issuance of the Note. Repayment of all amounts due under the Note shall be tendered on the 12-month anniversary of the Note. The Note may be prepaid in whole at any time without prepayment penalty or premium. If the Company fails to meet its obligations under the terms of the Note, the Note shall become immediately due and payable and subject to penalties provided for in the Note. The Company also granted to Auctus warrants to acquire 110,933,333 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “First Warrant”). Exercise price for the warrants is $0.0075, with a cashless exercise option.

BUSINESS

Business History

Our company was incorporated as LandStar,Landstar, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on May 4, 1998, for the purpose of purchasing, developing and reselling real property, with its principal focus on the development of raw land. From incorporation through December 31, 1998, we had no business operations and was a development-stage company. We did not purchase or develop any properties and decided to change our business plan and operations.1998. On March 31, 1999, we acquired approximately 98.5% of the common stock of Rebound Rubber Corp. (“Rebound Rubber”) pursuant to a share exchange agreement with Rebound Rubber and substantially all of Rebound Rubber’s shareholders. The acquisition was effected by issuing 14,500,100 shares of common stock, which constituted 14.5% of the 100,000,000 of our authorized shares, and 50.6% of the 28,622,100 issued and outstanding shares on completion of the acquisition.

The share exchange with Rebound Rubber (and other transactions occurring in March 1999) resulted in a change of control and the appointment of new officers and directors. These transactions also changed our focus to the development and utilization of technology to de-vulcanize and reactivate recycled rubber for resale as a raw material in the production of new rubber products. Our business strategy was to sell the de-vulcanized material (and compounds using the materials) to manufacturers of rubber products.

Prior to 2001 we had no revenues. In 2001 and 2002 revenues were derived from management services rendered to a rubber recycling company.

In August 2001, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to authorize 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 150,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. We may designate preferred stock into specific classes by action of our board of directors. In May 2008, our board of directors established a class of Convertible Preferred Series A (the “Series A”), authorizing 10,000,000 shares. When established, among other things, (i) each share of Series A was convertible into 1,000 shares of our common stock, and (ii) a holder of Series A was entitled to vote 1,000 shares of common stock for each share of Series A on all matters submitted to a vote by stockholders.

In September 2008, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares to 985,000,000, $0.001 par value per share, further amended the Articles in January 2009 to increase the number of authorized shares to 4,000,000,000, and in January 2010 amended our Articles to increase the number of authorized shares to 8,888,000,000.

We were effectively dormant for a number of years. In or around February 2014, there was a change in control whereby Kevin Hayes acquired 1,000,000 shares of the Series A and was appointed as our sole director and officer. In or around April 2017, there was another change in control when Mr. Hayes sold the 1,000,000 shares of Series A to Hybrid Titan Management, which then proceeded to assign the Series A to William Alessi. Mr. Alessi was then appointed as our sole director and officer. Mr. Alessi initiated legal action in his home state of North Carolina to confirm, among other things, his ownership of the Series A; his “control” over the company, and the status of creditors of the company. In or around June 2017, the court entered judgment in favor of Mr. Alessi, confirming his majority ownership and control of the company.

In or around July 2017, while under the majority ownership and management of Mr. Alessi, we sought to effect a merger transaction (the “Merger”) under which the company would be merged into Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Data443”). Data443 was originally formed under the name LandStar, Inc. The name of the North Carolina corporation was changed to Data443 in December 2017. In November 2017, our controlling interest was acquired by our current chief executive officer and sole board member, Jason Remillard, when he acquired all of the Series A shares from Mr. Alessi. In that same transaction, Mr. Remillard also acquired all of the shares of Data443 from Mr. Alessi. Mr. Remillard was then appointed as our sole director and sole officer and of Data443.

54

In January 2018, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Myriad Software Productions, LLC, which was owned 100% by Mr. Remillard. Those assets were comprised of the software program known as ClassiDocs®, and all intellectual property and goodwill associated therewith. As a result of the acquisition, the Company was no longer a “shell” under applicable securities rules. In consideration for the acquisition, we agreed to a purchase price of $1,500,000, comprised of: (i) $50,000 paid at closing; (ii) $250,000 in the form of a promissory note; and (iii) $1,200,000 in shares of our common stock, valued as of the closing, which equated to 1,200,000,000 shares of our common stock. The shares have not yet been issued and are not included as part of our issued and outstanding shares. However, these shares have been recorded as “Acquisition of ClassiDocs” included in additional paid in capital within our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2019.

In April 2018, we amended the designation for our Series A by providing that a holder of Series A was entitled to (i) vote 15,000 shares of common stock for each share of Series A on all matters submitted to a vote by stockholders, and (ii) convert each share of Series A into 1,000 shares of our common stock.

In May 2018, the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation. The total authorized number of shares is 8,888,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, designated in the discretion of our board of directors. The Series A remains in full force and effect.

In June 2018, after careful analysis and in reliance upon professional advisors we retained, it was determined that the Merger had, in fact, not been completed, and that the Merger was not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. As such, the Merger was legally terminated. In place of the Merger, in June 2018, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Data443 (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Data443 became our wholly-owned subsidiary, with both the Company and Data443 continuing to exist as corporate entities. As consideration in the Share Exchange, we agreed to issue to Mr. Remillard: (a) 100,000,000 shares of our common stock and (b) on the eighteen-month anniversary of the closing of the Share Exchange (the “Earn Out Date”), an additional 100,000,000 shares of our common stock, provided that Data443 has at least an additional $1,000,000 in revenue by the Earn Out Date (not including revenue directly from acquisitions). None of the shares of our common stock to be issued to Mr. Remillard under the Share Exchange have been issued. As such, none of said shares are included as part of our issued and outstanding shares. However, these shares have been recorded as “Share exchange with related party for Data443 additional share issuable” included in additional paid in capital within our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2019.

On or about June 29, 2018, we secured the rights to the WordPress GDPR Framework through our wholly-owned subsidiary Data443 for a total consideration of €40,001, or approximately $46,521, payable in four payments of approximately €10,000, with the first payment due at closing, and the remaining payments due at the end of July, August and September 2018. Upon issuance of the final payment, we gained the right to enter into an asset transfer agreement for the nominal cost of one euro (€1).

On or about October 22, 2018, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Modevity, LLC (“Modevity”) to acquire certain assets collectively known as ARALOC®, a software-as-a service (“SaaS”) platform that provides cloud-based data storage, protection, and workflow automation. The acquired assets consist of intellectual and related intangible property including applications and associated software code, and trademarks. Access to books and records related to the customers and revenues Modevity created on the ARALOC platform were also included in the asset purchase agreement. These assets were substantially less than the total assets of Modevity, and revenues from the platform comprised a portion of the overall sales of Modevity. We are required to create the technical capabilities to support the ongoing operation of this SaaS platform. A substantial effort on our part is needed to continue generating ARALOC revenues through development of a sales force, as well as billing and collection processes. We paid Modevity (i) $200,000 in cash, (ii) $750,000, in the form of a 10-month promissory note, and (iii) 164,533,821 shares of our common stock.

On June 21, 2019, the Company filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation to increase the total number authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from 8,888,000,000 shares to 15,000,000,000 shares.

On September 16, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with DMBGroup, LLC to acquire certain assets collectively known as DataExpressTM, a software platform for secure sensitive data transfer within the hybrid cloud. The total purchase price of approximately $2.8 million consists of: (i) a $410,000 cash payment at closing; (ii) a promissory note in the amount of $940,000, payable in the amount of $41,661 over 24 monthly payments starting on October 15, 2019, accruing at a ratewe changed our name with the Secretary of 6% per annum; (iii) assumptionState of approximately $98,000 in liabilities and, (iv) approximately 2,465,753 shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, these shares have not been issued and are recorded as “Stock issuable for asset purchase” included in additional paid in capital.

55

On October 14, 2019, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change its nameNevada from Landstar, Inc. to Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc., and to effect a 1-for-750 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common and preferred shares, each with $0.001 par value, and to reduce the numbers of authorized common and preferred shares to 60,000,000 and 337,500, respectively. On October 28, 2019, the name change and the split and changes in authorized common and preferred shares was effected, resulting in approximately 7,282,678,714 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock to be reduced to approximately 9,710,239, and 1,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s preferred shares to be reduced to 1,334 as of October 28, 2019. All per share amounts and number of shares, including the authorized shares, in the consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split and decrease in authorized common and preferred shares.

On March 05, 2020 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock to 250,000,000. On April 15, 2020 the Company further amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock to 750,000,000. On August 17, 2020 the Company again amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock to 1.5 billion. On November 25, 2020 the Company filed a Certificate of Designation to authorize and create its Series B Preferred shares, consisting of 80,000 shares. On December 15, 2020 the Company again amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock from 1.5 billion to 1.8 billion. Thereafter, the Company again amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock from 1.8 billion to 3.8 billion.

On August 13, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire certain assets collectively known as FileFacets, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that performs sophisticated data discovery and content search of structured and unstructured data within corporate networks, servers, content management systems, email, desktops and laptops. The total purchase price was $135,000, which amount was paid in full at the closing of the transaction.

On September 21, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with the owners of a business known as IntellyWP™, to acquire the intellectual property rights and certain assets collectively known as IntellyWP™, an Italy-based developer that produces WordPress plug-ins that enhance the overall user experience for webmaster and end users.

The total purchase price of $305,000 consists of: (i) a $125,000 cash payment at closing; and, (ii) the issuance of 19,148,936 shares of our common stock to RNS.

On December 11, 2020, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (“CSPA”) with Triton Funds, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Triton”), an unrelated third party. Triton agreed to invest $1 million in the Company in the form of common stock purchases. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the CSPA, the Company agreed to sell to Triton common shares of the Company having an aggregate value of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). The price of the shares to be sold will be $0.006 per shares. Triton’s obligation to purchase securities is conditioned on certain factors including, but not limited, to the Company having an effective registration available for resale of the securities being purchased; a minimum closing price of $0.009 per share for the Company’s common stock on the delivery date for the shares; and, Triton’s ownership not exceeding 9.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at any time. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on December 28, 2020. The S-1 was declared effective by the SEC as of January 26, 2021.

On February 12, 2021, and effective January 31, 2021 the Company declared terminated each of the ArcMail Agreements. The Company has asserted numerous claims under the ArcMail Agreements. Further, Wala lost all rights to the ArcMail Assets through a foreclosure action brought by certain secured creditors of Wala (the “Wala Creditors”). The Company considers its relationship with Wala to be closed and will not pursue any further action in that regard.

56

On February 12, 2021 the Company closed its acquisition of the ArcMail Assets from the Wala Creditors pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Asset Sale Agreement executed by and between the Company and the Wala Creditors. The effective date of the Asset Sale Agreement and the acquisition was deemed to be January 31, 2021. Total purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) was One Million Four Hundred Four Thousand Dollars ($1,404,000), evidenced by three promissory notes in favor of the Wala Creditors in the total amount of the Purchase Price (the “Notes”). Payments under the Notes commence in 30-days and continue monthly thereafter for 60-months. The Notes are secured by a pledge of the ArcMail Assets as collateral under the terms of a Security Agreement in favor of the Wala Creditors. The foregoing descriptions of the Asset Sale Agreement; Notes; and, Security Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the actual language contained in the Asset Sale Agreement, Notes, and Security Agreement, respectively.

On February 23, 2021, the Company filed with the SEC its Schedule 14C, Preliminary Information Statement, providing notice that the Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of our shares entitled to vote had approved and authorized the following actions:

(1)       Amendment of our articles of incorporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”) to provide for a decrease in the authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 1,800,000,000 to a number of not less than 10,000,000 and not more than 1,000,000,000 (the “Authorized Common Stock Reduction”), at any time prior to the one year anniversary of the filing of the Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C with respect to these actions the “Definitive Information Statement”), with the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) having the discretion to determine whether or not the Authorized Common Stock Reduction is to be effected, and if effected, the exact number of the Authorized Common Stock Reduction within the above range.

Size of Our Market Opportunity

Worldwide spending on information security products and services will reach more than $114 billion in 2018, an increase of 12.4 percent from last year,By 2024, according to the latest forecasta study from Gartner, Inc. In 2019, the, it is expected that 30% of enterprises will have adopted data security platforms, up from less than 5% in 2019. Gartner, Inc. also stated in another report titled “Predicts 2022: Consolidated Security Platforms Are The Future” that customers are working on vendor consolidation strategies aggressively in addition to expecting a portfolio or stack approach to their purchasing requirements.

We expect that current market was forecast to grow 8.7 percent to $124 billion, with further increases expected for 2020. As cloud-based services increase in popularity, that market increases to an estimated $300 billion by 2021.

They estimate that nearly 20% of that data will be critical to our daily lives (and nearly 10% will be hypercritical). The study also suggests that by 2025, almost 90% of all data will require a meaningful level of security, but less than half will be secured. Every enterprise and governmental agency will almost certainly require new technologies to protect and manage data.certain product segments represent opportunities for us.

Competition

Competition

The industry in which we compete is highly competitive. Many companies offer similar products and services for data security. We may be at a substantial disadvantage to our competitors who have more capital than we do to carry out operations and marketing efforts. We hope to maintain oura competitive advantage by offering quality at a competitive price, continuing to acquire unique and capable technologies and by utilizing the experience, knowledge, and expertise of our management team.

We will face competition from more established companies that have competitive advantages, such as greater name recognition, larger sales, marketing, research and acquisition resources, access to larger customer bases and channel partners, a longer operating history and lower labor and development costs, which may enable them to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we do. Increased competition could result in us failing to attract customers or maintaining them. It could also lead to price cuts, alternative pricing structures or the introduction of products available for free or a nominal price, reduced gross margins, longer sales cycles and loss of market share. If we are unable to compete successfully against current and future competitors, our business and financial condition may be harmed.Employees

We may be required to cease operations which could result in our stockholders losing all or almost all of their investment.

Mr. Palma is currently a faculty member at Fordham University’s School of Law, where he has taught since April 2021 and at Fordham University’s Graduate School of Business Administration, where he has taught since January 2014. From October 2020 until March 2022, Mr. Palma served as a consultant at Treliant Risk Advisors, a risk management consulting firm that advises financial services organizations. Prior to Mr. Palma’s tenure at Treliant Risk Advisors, from November 1995 to September 2009 and from April 2011 to July 2019, Mr. Palma served as Vice President and Global Risk Officer and in various other roles at Citigroup Inc., where he focused on internal audit and risk management. Mr. Palma currently sits on the board of directors of the Will Restaurant Group, a restaurant startup in the Outer Banks, North Carolina and in the past has served on the board of directors of several other private companies. Mr. Palma holds certifications as a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist, a Certified Financial Services Auditor and a Certified Fraud Examiner. We believe that Mr. Palma’s analytical, financial, and presentation skills, and his ample experience advising companies on risk management qualify him to serve as one of our directors.

Lewis Jaffe

Lewis (Lew) Jaffe is a Clinical Professor and an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Loyola Marymount University in the Fred Kiesner Center for Entrepreneurship Management, where he teaches both undergraduates and MBA candidates. Mr. Jaffe serves on the board of directors of Reed Inc. (NASDAQ: REED); Fit Life Brands (OTCQX: FTLF); and is the lead independent director for York Telecom, a privately-held company. Formerly, he was the lead independent director of Benihana Inc. prior to it being taken private. Mr. Jaffe’s career includes serving as CEO and Founder/Cofounder of numerous companies including, MoviMe Network; CEO of Oxford Media Inc. (publicly traded at the time of Mr. Jaffe’s involvement); and President and COO of Verso Technologies (publicly traded at the time of Mr. Jaffe’s involvement) where he integrated numerous acquisitions that were made prior to his tenure while creating product bundles with in-house technology. As the CEO of PictureTel Corporation (publicly traded at the time of Mr. Jaffe’s involvement), a $750 million revenue video conferencing company which he sold in 2001, he developed video compression and communications technologies. Mr. Jaffe has been a guest on a number of business shows for CNBC, MSNBC, and ABC, and has been quoted in a variety of business and trade publications, including Forbes MagazineThe Wall Street Journalthe New York TimesBusiness Week, and The Boston Globe. We believe Mr. Jaffe’s extensive experience as a financial expert in myriad aspects of business and markets, as well as his understanding of our business, operations, and strategy, qualifies him to serve on our Board of Directors.

He is an acknowledged and respected leader, entrepreneur, and innovator with hands-on experience in strategic marketing, brand building, sales, and product development. Mr. Favish also founded Fotoball USA, a pioneer in retail licensed products and marketing, in 1984. In 1994, Mr. Favish transformed Fotoball into a publicly-held company listed on The Nasdaq Stock Exchange with 200 employees. After growing revenues from $7 million in 1994 to $50 million in 2003, Fotoball was acquired in January 2004 by an industry-leading NYSE company.

Throughout his career, Mr. Favish has been a guest speaker at several leading universities and an advisor to companies in both the United States and Asia, advising them on branding, product development, and marketing strategies.

Under rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a formalrelationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

Selling Stockholder Sales

This prospectus covers the possible resale by the Selling Stockholders identified in the table below of up to 46,550,000 shares of our Common Stock, which were issued to 37 Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders acquired the Selling Stockholder Shares pursuant to a private placement of securities.

The Selling Stockholders may sell some, all or none of their Selling Stockholder Shares. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the Selling Stockholders regarding the sale of any of the Selling Stockholder Shares. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the below table, no Selling Stockholder has had any material relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the past three years other than as a securityholder of our company.

We have prepared the following table based on written representations and information furnished to us by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholders. Since the date on which the Selling Stockholders provided this information, the Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of the Selling Stockholder Shares in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, we believe that: (i) none of the Selling Stockholders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers, and (ii) no Selling Stockholder has direct or indirect agreements or understandings with any person to distribute their Selling Stockholder Shares. To the extent any Selling Stockholder identified below is, or is affiliated with, a broker-dealer, it could be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Information about the Selling Stockholders may change over time.

The following table presents information regarding the Selling Stockholders and the Selling Stockholder Shares that each may offer and sell from time to time under this Prospectus. The table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholders, and reflects their respective holdings as of August 24, 2023, unless otherwise noted in the footnotes to the table. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and thus represents voting or investment power with respect to our securities. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares over which the individual has sole or shared voting power or investment power as well as any shares that the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days after the date of this table. To our knowledge and subject to applicable community property rules, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all equity interests beneficially owned. The percentage of shares beneficially owned before and after the Offering is based on 61,413,168 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding on August 7, 2023, and                   shares to be issued and outstanding after the Offering, which excludes (i) 159,974 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants at a weighted average exercise price per share in the range of approximately $0.93 to $22.07 (ii) 149,892 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) exercise of the Underwriter’s Warrants; and, (iv) exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares and/or Warrants from us in this offering.

Plan of Distribution

We are registering the Selling Stockholder Shares issued to permit the resale of the Selling Stockholder Shares by the Selling Stockholders from time to time after the date of this Prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Selling Stockholder Shares. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the Selling Stockholder Shares in the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. The Selling Stockholder Shares will not be sold through Dawson in this public offering.

The Selling Stockholders may sell all or a portion of the Selling Stockholder Shares beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the Selling Stockholder Shares are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the Selling Stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The Selling Stockholder Shares may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
in the over-the-counter market;
in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
privately negotiated transactions;
short sales;
in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this Prospectus. However, the Selling Stockholders will not sell any Selling Stockholder Shares until after the closing of this offering.

61

If the Selling Stockholders effect such transactions by Selling Stockholder Shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the Selling Stockholder Shares for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the Selling Stockholder Shares or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Selling Stockholder Shares in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell Selling Stockholder Shares short and deliver Selling Stockholder Shares covered by this Prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Stockholders may also loan or pledge Selling Stockholder Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

The Selling Stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Selling Stockholder Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Selling Stockholder Shares from time to time pursuant to this Prospectus or any amendment to this Prospectus under the applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this Prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer and donate the Selling Stockholder Shares in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this Prospectus.

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the Selling Stockholder Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the Selling Stockholder Shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of Selling Stockholder Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

Under the securities laws of some states, the Selling Stockholder Shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Selling Stockholder Shares may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that any Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of the Selling Stockholder Shares registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this Prospectus forms a part.

The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Selling Stockholder Shares by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Selling Stockholder Shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Selling Stockholder Shares. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Selling Stockholder Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Selling Stockholder Shares.

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this Prospectus forms a part, the Selling Stockholder Shares will be freely tradeable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

The sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock,common stock, including sales by the Selling Stockholders, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Common Stock.common stock. In addition, any such sale or perception could make it more difficult for us to sell equity, or equity related, securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate. If and when this Registration Statement, of which this Prospectus is a part, becomes effective, we might elect to adopt a stock option plan and file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act registering the shares of Common Stockcommon stock reserved for issuance thereunder. Following the effectiveness of any such Registration Statement, the shares of Common Stockcommon stock issued under such plan, other than shares held by affiliates, if any, would be immediately eligible for resale in the public market without restriction.

6762

The sale of shares of our Common Stockcommon stock which are not registered under the Securities Act, known as “restricted” shares, typically are effected under Rule 144. As of June 04, 2021,August 7, 2023, we had outstanding an aggregate of 1,483,888,91561,413,168 shares of Common Stock,common stock, of which approximately 72,746,59447,376,727 shares are restricted Common Stock.common stock. All our shares of Common Stockcommon stock might be sold under Rule 144 after having been held for six months. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of “restricted” shares of our Common Stock,common stock, or the availability of such shares for future sale, will have on the market price of our Common Stockcommon stock or our ability to raise capital through an offering of our equity securities.

All of the shares of our Common Stockcommon stock sold under this Prospectus will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless the shares are purchased by “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Any shares purchased by an affiliate or held by our current stockholders, or issued by us in connection with the conversion or exercise of the preferred stock, warrants and options described above, may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, including the exemption under Rule 144 of the Securities Act described below. 4,641,804 shares of common stock outstanding prior to this offering are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These restricted securities are eligible for public sale only if they are registered under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act, which are summarized below.

Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, once we have been subject to public company reporting requirements for at least 90 days, a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates for purposes of the Securities Act at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than our affiliates, is entitled to sell those shares without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144, subject to compliance with the current public information requirements of Rule 144. If such a person has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than our affiliates, then that person is entitled to sell those shares without complying with any of the requirements of Rule 144.

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, our affiliates or persons selling shares on behalf of our affiliates are entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

1.0% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock; or
the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed on Form 144.

Such sales by affiliates under Rule 144 are also subject to restrictions relating to the manner of sale, notice requirements, and the availability of current public information about us, and to the holding period requirements set forth above if the shares are restricted securities.

Rule 701

Rule 701 of the Securities Act, as currently in effect, permits each of our employees, officers, directors, and consultants, to the extent such persons are not “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144, who purchased or received our shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract, to resell such shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without compliance with the specific requirements regarding the availability of public information or holding periods thereunder. Rule 701 provides that affiliates who purchased or received shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract are eligible to resell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirement of Rule 144.

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Sections 78.7502 and 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes authorize a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, under certain circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. In addition, our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that we have the authority to indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees and agents (other than officers and directors) against liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. We are also empowered under our Bylawsbylaws to purchase insurance on behalf of any person whom we are required or permitted to indemnify.

Combinations with Interested Stockholders Provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes

Pursuant to provisions in our articles of incorporation, we have elected not to be governed by certain Nevada statutes that may have the effect of discouraging corporate takeovers.

73

Nevada’s “combinations with interested stockholders” statutes (NRS 78.411 through 78.444, inclusive) prohibit specified types of business “combinations” between certain Nevada corporations and any person deemed to be an “interested stockholder” for two years after such person first becomes an “interested stockholder” unless the corporation’s board of directors approves the combination (or the transaction by which such person becomes an “interested stockholder”) in advance, or unless the combination is approved by the board of directors and sixty percent of the corporation’s voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder, its affiliates and associates. Furthermore, in the absence of prior approval certain restrictions may apply even after such two-year period. For purposes of these statutes, an “interested stockholder” is any person who is (1) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (2) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the two previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term “combination” is sufficiently broad to cover most significant transactions between a corporation and an “interested stockholder.” Our articles of incorporation opt out of these provisions, as provided for in the NRS, and accordingly, the combinations with interested stockholders statutes are not applicable to us.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Madison Stock Transfer, Inc. Our transfer agent will also be the Warrant Agent.

Reverse Stock Split

On 19 February 2021, our stockholders approved a reverse stock split within the range of not less than 1-for-10 and not more than 1-for-2,000, (the “Reverse Split”), at any time prior to the one year anniversary of the filing of the Definitive Information Statement, with the Board having the discretion to determine whether or not the Reverse Split is to be effected, and if effected, the exact ratio for the Reverse Split within the above range. At the same time, the same stockholders approved a decrease in the authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock to a number of not less than 10,000,000 and not more than 1,000,000,000 (the “Authorized Common Stock Reduction”), at any time prior to the one year anniversary of the filing of the Definitive Information Statement. The Board will have the discretion to determine whether or not the Authorized Common Stock Reduction is to be effected, and if effected, the exact number of the Authorized Common Stock Reduction within the above range.

In determining the source of securities to close out the short position, the Underwriterunderwriter will consider, among other things, the price of securities available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase securities through the over-allotment option. A naked short position occurs if the Underwriterunderwriter sells more securities than could be covered by the over-allotment option. This position can only be closed out by buying securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the Underwriterunderwriter is concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.

DATA443 RISK MITIGATION, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Nevada corporation on May 4, 1998. On October 15, 2019, the Company changed its name from LandStar, Inc. to Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. within the state of Nevada.

The Company delivers solutions and capabilities that businesses can use in conjunction with their use of established cloud vendors such as Microsoft® Azure, Google® Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon® Web Services (AWS), as well as with on-premises databases and database applications with virtualization platforms, such as those hosted or configured using VMWare®, Citrix® and Oracle® clouds/products).

Advance Payment for Acquisition

On January 19, 2022, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Centurion Holdings I, LLC (“Centurion”) to acquire the intellectual property rights and certain assets collectively known as Centurion SmartShield Home and SmartShield Enterprise, patented technology that protects and recovers devices in the event of ransomware attacks. The total purchase price of $3,400,000 consists of: (i) a $250,000 cash payment at closing; (ii) a $2,900,000 promissory note issued by Data443 in favor of Centurion (“Centurion Note”); and (iii) $250,000 in the form of a contingent payment. The Centurion Note matures January 19, 2027 but provides that Data443’s repayment obligation would accelerate on the occurrence of certain events. One of those events was a financing event that did not occur within the originally anticipated timeframe. If that event had occurred, then Data443’s repayment obligation would have been to repay the balance of the outstanding principal and interest as follows: (i) $500,000 of the then-outstanding amount due in cash; and (ii) the remaining balance, at Data443’s option, in Common stock or a combination of Common stock and cash, with the number of shares of Common stock to be determined according to a specified formula. In April 2022, Data443 and Centurion agreed that, even though the trigger for this acceleration event did not occur, Data443 would issue shares of Common stock to Centurion in an amount then-equivalent to $2,400,000, as partial repayment of the obligation due under the Centurion Note. The number of shares of Common stock Data443 issued to Centurion on April 20, 2022, was 380,952. Because Data443 still has some repayment obligations to fulfill under the Centurion Note, as of the filing date of these financial statements, the acquisition that is the subject of the Centurion Asset Purchase Agreement is still not completed, and is expected to be completed in 2023.

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, we have included all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in our Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023 include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Data 443 Risk Mitigation, Inc., a North Carolina operating company. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with US GAAP. All inter company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the net earnings (loss) or and financial position.

F-8

Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables are generally recorded at the invoice amount mostly for a one-year period, net of an allowance for bad debt. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022, we recorded bad debt expense of $0 and $0, respectively

Stock-Based Compensation

Employees – We account for stock-based compensation under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to employees, including the grant of employee stock options, to be calculated based on its fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date), and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.

Nonemployees - Under the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Stock-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), we account for stock-based compensation to non-employees under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to be calculated based on the fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date), and recognized in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

We recorded approximately $565,571 in stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $798,690in stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Determining the appropriate fair value model and the related assumptions requires judgment. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the fair value of each option grant was estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected volatility represents the historical volatility of our publicly traded common stock. Due to limited historical data, we calculate the expected life based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the contractual term which is in accordance with the simplified method. The expected term for options granted to nonemployees is the contractual life. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of stock options. We have not paid and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our shares of Common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero.

Contingencies

We account for contingent liabilities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 450, Contingencies. This standard requires management to assess potential contingent liabilities that may exist as of the date of the financial statements to determine the probability and amount of loss that may have occurred, which inherently involves an exercise of judgment. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in our financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed in our financial statements. For loss contingencies considered remote, we generally would neither accrue any estimated liability nor disclose the nature of the contingent liability in our financial statements. Management has assessed potential contingent liabilities as of June 30, 2023, and based on that assessment, there are no probable or possible loss contingencies requiring accrual or establishment of a reserve.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share

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

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive:

SCHEDULE OF ANTI-DILUTIVE BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options” and ASC subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“Standard”). The Standard reduced the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Pursuant to the Standard, convertible debt instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid in capital. The Standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Due to adoption of this Standard on January 1, 2022, we recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to increase the opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2022 by $439,857.

To compute the transition adjustment for a convertible instrument under both the modified retrospective and full retrospective methods, entities need to recompute the basis of that instrument at transition (i.e., the beginning of year of adoption for the modified retrospective method or the beginning of earliest year presented for the full retrospective method) as if the conversion option had not been separated. The Company use the modified retrospective method to adjust.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2: LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the financial statements, we have incurred significant current period losses of $648,353 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and we have negative working capital of $10,008,138and an accumulated deficit $52,060,481as of June 30, 2023. We have relied upon loans and issuances of our equity to fund our operations. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters, include raising additional debt or equity financing, the terms of which might not be acceptable. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have two noncancelable operating leases for office facilities, one that we entered into January 2019 and that expires January 10, 2024 and another that we entered into in April 2022 and that expires April 30, 2024. Each operating lease has a renewal option and a rent escalation clause. In the summer of 2022, we relocated to the expanded square footage of the premises that are the subject of the April 2022 lease to support our growing operations, and entered into a commission agreement with the landlord of the building to sublet the premises that are the subject of the January 2019 lease.

We recognized total lease expense of approximately $146,994 and $83,339 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, primarily related to operating lease costs paid to lessors from operating cash flows. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we recorded a security deposit of $33,467.

Conversion

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we converted notes with principal amounts and accrued interest of $332,592 into 10,807,823 shares of common stock.

F-12

Convertible notes payable consists of the following:

Promissory Notes - Issued in fiscal year 2020

In 2020, we issued convertible promissory notes with principal amounts totaling $100,000. The 2020 Promissory Notes have the following key provisions:

Terms 60 months.
Annual interest rates of 5%.
Conversion price fixed at $0.01.

Promissory Notes - Issued in fiscal year 2021

In 2021, we issued convertible promissory notes with principal amounts totaling $1,696,999, which resulted in cash proceeds of $1,482,000 after financing fees of $214,999 were deducted. The 2021 Convertible Notes have the following key provisions:

Terms ranging from 90 days to 12 months.
Annual interest rates of 5% to 12%.
Convertible at the option of the holders after varying dates.
Conversion price based on a formula corresponding to a discount (39% discount) off the average closing price or lowest trading price of our Common stock for the 20 prior trading days including the day on which a notice of conversion is received.
The Mast Hill Fund, LLC convertible promissory note matured on October 19, 2022. The default annual interest rate of 16% becomes the effective interest rate on the past due principal and interest. As of June 30, 2023 the note had a principle balance of $414,690 and accrued interest of $39,822. The note is currently in default.

The 2021 Convertible Notes also were associated with the following:

The issuance of 1,414 shares of Common stock valued at $133,663.
The issuance of 117,992 warrants to purchase shares of Common stock with an exercise price a range from $7.44 to 36.00. The term in which the warrants can be exercised is 5 years from issue date. (Note 12)

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, in connection with the 2021 Convertible Notes, we repaid principal in the amount of $38,490 and interest expense of $39,822.

Promissory Notes - Issued in fiscal year 2022

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we issued convertible promissory notes with principal amounts totaling $2,120,575, which resulted in cash proceeds of $1,857,800 after deducting a financing fee of $262,775. The 2022 Convertible Notes have the following key provisions:

Terms ranging from 3 to 12 months.
Annual interest rates of 9% to 20%.
Convertible at the option of the holders after varying dates.
Conversion price based on a formula corresponding to a discount (20% or 39% discount) off the lowest trading price of our Common stock for the 20 prior trading days including the day on which a notice of conversion is received, although one of the 2022 Convertible Notes establishes a fixed conversion price of $4.50 per share.
554,464 shares of common stock valued at $473,691 issued in conjunction with convertible notes.
On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into a Note Exchange Agreement (the “Note Exchange Agreement”) with Westland Properties LLC (the “Noteholder”), pursuant to which the Company agreed with Westland Properties LLC to exchange one outstanding note with a total outstanding balance of $5,398,299 for a new note with an aggregate value of $665,000 (the “New Note”). The New Note matures on June 1, 2024, and calls for payments of (i) $115,000 on or prior to July 25, 2023, (ii) nine monthly payments to the noteholder in the amount of $38,889 each, with the first payment beginning September 1, 2023 and (iii) $200,000 on the earlier of (a) three business days following the Company’s successful listing on any of the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange or (b) the receipt of not less than $4,000,000 in funding from a single transaction. If the conditions for payment of the above $200,000 are not met, but the Company raises capital in excess of $500,000 in a single closing, then 25% of any capital raised in such closing shall be used to satisfy the $200,000 payment. The Company followed ASC470 Trouble Debt Restructuring, to record a gain on settlement of debt for $4,904,081.

In connection with the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, we reclassified $517,500, previously allocated to the conversion feature, from additional paid-in capital to convertible notes on our balance sheet. The reclassification was recorded to combine the two legacy units of account into a single instrument classified as a liability. As of January 1, 2022, we also recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of $439,857 to accumulated deficit on our balance sheet, that was primarily driven by the derecognition of interest expense related to the accretion of the debt discount as required under the legacy accounting guidance. Under ASU 2020-06, we will no longer incur non-cash interest expense related to the accretion of the debt discount associated with the embedded conversion option.

Promissory Notes - Issued in fiscal year 2023

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we issued convertible promissory notes with principal amounts totaling $637,858, which resulted in cash proceeds of $520,000 after deducting a financing fee of $117,858. The 2023 Convertible Notes have the following key provisions:

Terms ranging from 9 to 12 months.
Annual interest rates of 9% to 20%.
Convertible at the option of the holders after varying dates.
Conversion price based on a formula corresponding to a discount (20% or 30% discount) off the lowest trading price of our Common stock for the 20 prior trading days including the day on which a notice of conversion is received, although one of the 2023 Convertible Notes establishes a fixed conversion price of $.50 per share.
As of the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no derivative liabilities.

F-13

NOTE 9: DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

We analyzed the conversion option of convertible notes for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and hedging, and determined that the instrument should be classified as a liability since the conversion option becomes effective at issuance resulting in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options.

ASC 815 requires we assess the fair market value of derivative liability at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as other income or expense item.

We determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement during the year based on management’s estimate of the expected future cash flows required to settle the liabilities, and used the Binomial pricing model to calculate the fair value as of June 30, 2023. The Binomial model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each convertible note and warrant is estimated using the Binomial valuation model. As of the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no derivative liabilities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 there was no derivative outstanding, and no loss recorded. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the change in fair value of the derivative liability was $57,883 and the loss on the derivative was $57,883.

The fair value of the derivative liability for all the notes that became convertible, including the notes issued in prior years, during the year ended December 31, 2022 amounted to $57,883 recognized as a derivative loss.

The inputs used to calculate the derivative values are as follows:

NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

DMB Note Collection Action

On June 17, 2021, DMB Group, LLC (“DMB”) filed a lawsuit against our wholly-owned subsidiary, the North Carolina operating company Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc., (the “Subsidiary”) in County Court in Denton County, Texas, naming the Subsidiary as defendant. The matter was settled September 2021 by mutual agreement of the involved parties. The Subsidiary has made all payments required pursuant to the settlement and the matter is now considered closed. The Court granted our motions for nonsuit and dismissal with prejudice on orders entered May 4 and May 5, 2022 respectively.

Employment Related Claims

We view most legal proceedings involving claims of former employees as routine litigation incidental to the business, and therefore not material.

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in a number of lawsuits incidental to our business, including litigation related to intellectual property, employees, and commercial matters. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these cases, management believes that any ultimate liability would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. However, an unforeseen unfavorable development in any of these cases could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in the period in which it is recorded.

Data443 Risk Mitigation

Opinion on the Financial

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Restatement of Prior Issued Financials

As discussed in Note 17 to the financial statements, the 2022 financial statements have been restated to correct the presentation of the statement of cashflows.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has negative working capital and a stockholders’ deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

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

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

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

TPS Thayer, LLC

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

DATA443 RISK MITIGATION, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCHDECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021

NOTE 1: BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Description of Business

Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Nevada corporation on May 4, 1998. On October 15, 2019, the Company changed its name from LandStar, Inc. to Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. within the state of Nevada.

We deliver solutions and capabilities that businesses can use in conjunction with their use of established cloud vendors such as Microsoft® Azure, Google® Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon® Web Services (AWS), as well as with on-premises databases and database applications with virtualization platforms, such as those hosted or configured using VMWare®, Citrix® and Oracle® clouds/products).

Advance Payment for Acquisition

 

On January 19, 2022, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Centurion Holdings I, LLC (“Centurion”) to acquire the intellectual property rights and certain assets collectively known as Centurion SmartShield Home and SmartShield Enterprise, patented technology that protects and recovers devices in the event of ransomware attacks. The total purchase price of $3,400,000 consists of: (i) a $250,000 cash payment at closing; (ii) a $2,900,000 promissory note issued by Data443 in favor of Centurion (“Centurion Note”); and (iii) $250,000 in the form of a contingent payment. The Centurion Note matures January 19, 2027 but provides that Data443’s repayment obligation would accelerate on the occurrence of certain events. One of those events was a financing event that did not occur within the originally anticipated timeframe. If that event had occurred, then Data443’s repayment obligation would have been to repay the balance of the outstanding principal and interest as follows: (i) $500,000 of the then-outstanding amount due in cash; and (ii) the remaining balance, at Data443’s option, in Common stock or a combination of Common stock and cash, with the number of shares of Common stock to be determined according to a specified formula. In April 2022, Data443 and Centurion agreed that, even though the trigger for this acceleration event did not occur, Data443 would issue shares of Common stock to Centurion in an amount then-equivalent to $2,400,000, as partial repayment of the obligation due under the Centurion Note. The number of shares of Common stock Data443 issued to Centurion on April 20, 2022, was 380,952. Because Data443 still has some repayment obligations to fulfill under the Centurion Note, as of the filing date of these financial statements, the acquisition that is the subject of the Centurion Asset Purchase Agreement is still not completed, and is expected to be completed in 2023.

Reverse Stock Splits

Effective March 7, 2022 and July 1, 2021, we effected an 8 for 1 and 2,000 for 1 reverse stock split, respectively, of our issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Splits”). All references to shares of our common stock in this annual report refers to the number of shares of common stock after giving retrospective effect to these Reverse Stock Splits (unless otherwise indicated).

NOTE 1: 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of MarchDecember 31, 20212022 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Data 443 Risk Mitigation, Inc., a North Carolina operating company, and the operations of Myriad Software Productions, LLC through September 2018 when it was liquidated. Prior to the acquisition of Data 443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. in North Carolina and the assets of Myriad Software Productions, LLC in 2018, these two entities were controlled by our sole director and officer, Jason Remillard. On November 17, 2017, Mr. Remillard acquired control of LandStar, Inc. through his purchase of all the outstanding Series A preferred shares of the Company, and as a result, these two entities became common controlled entities that require consolidation of results with the reporting company, LandStar, Inc., from the time common control occurred.company. All intercompany accounts and activities have been eliminated.eliminated upon consolidation. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Interim Financial Statements

F-25

Use of Estimates

These unaudited

The preparation of consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordanceconformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial informationrequires management to make estimates and withassumptions that affect the instructions to Form 10-Qreported amounts of assets and Regulation S-X. Accordingly,liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings (loss) or and financial position.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenue primarily from contracts for subscription to access our SaaS platforms and, to a much lesser degree, ancillary services provided in connection with subscription services. The Company’s contracts include the performance obligations that require us to provide access to the platforms, usually on an annual subscription. The Company’s contracts are for subscriptions to our data classification, movement, governance, encryption, access control and distribution software and related services. We also perform professional services consulting with specific deliverables managed primarily by statements of work. Customers typically enter into our services subscription and various statements of work concurrently. Most of the Company’s performance obligations are not considered to be distinct from the subscriptions to our software or hosting platforms and related services and are combined into a single performance obligation. New statements of work and modifications of contracts are reviewed each reporting period and to assess the nature and characteristics of the new or modified performance obligations on a contract by contract basis.

Revenue related to contracts with customers is evaluated utilizing the following steps: (i) Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) Determine the transaction price; (iv) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (v) Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Revenues from professional services consist mostly of time and material services. The performance obligations are satisfied, and revenues are recognized, when the services are provided or over the time of the service term until it expires.

Subscription software that is sold on-premises is recognized at the point of time when the software license has been delivered and the benefit of the asset has transferred. Maintenance associated with subscription licenses is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Our SaaS offerings allow customers to use hosted software, and our revenue is recognized ratably over the associated contract time period.

F-26

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded in accordance with ASC 310, “Receivables.” Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not include allbear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Inamount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue mostly consists of service subscriptions received from users in advance of revenue recognition. The increase in the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statementsdeferred revenue balance for the year ended December 31, 20202022 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained2021 was driven by cash payments from customers in advance of satisfying our Form 10-Kperformance obligations, offset by revenue recognized that was included in the Company has filed withdeferred revenue balance at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 23, 2021. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021, are not necessarily indicativebeginning of the resultsperiod.

Convertible Financial Instruments

The Company account for our convertible financial instruments in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” Prior to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, we separated the convertible notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amounts of the liability component of the convertible notes were calculated by measuring the fair value of similar debt instruments that do not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amounts of the equity components, representing the conversion option, were determined by deducting the fair value of the liability components from the par value of the convertible notes. This difference represents the debt discount that is amortized to interest expense over the terms of the convertible notes using the effective interest rate method.

Following the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, which we elected to adopt using a modified retrospective approach, we no longer separate the convertible notes into liability and equity components. Now convertible notes are recorded and disclosed as convertible notes payable, net of unamortized discount.

F-27

Share-Based Compensation

Employees - The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to employees, including the grant of employee stock options, to be calculated based on its fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date), and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.

Nonemployees - During June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”) to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2018-07 early. Under the requirements of ASU 2018-07, the Company accounts for share-based compensation to non-employees under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to be calculated based on the fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date), and recognized in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

The Company recorded approximately $404,118 $879,671 in share-based compensation expense for the three monthsyear ended MarchDecember 31, 2021,2022, compared to $205,652 approximately $968,470 in share-based compensation expense for the three monthsyear ended MarchDecember 31, 2020.2021.

Determining the appropriate fair value model and the related assumptions requires judgment. During the three monthsyear ended MarchDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value of each option grant was estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The expected volatility represents the historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded common stock. Due to limited historical data, the Company calculates the expected life based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the contractual term which is in accordance with the simplified method. The expected term for options granted to nonemployees is the contractual life. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of stock options. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its shares of common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with “Conversion and Other Options” and ASC subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and, (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2: LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared (i) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and (ii) assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant income to date. The Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a business with no substantive revenue, as well as limitations on its operating capital resources. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In light of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise capital and generate revenue and profits in the future.

During 2018, the Company made two product acquisitions, ClassiDocs™, and ARALOC, and completed the acquisition of one entity, Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (“Data443”), the North Carolina operating company. During 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of selected assets of DataExpress; and, completed a transaction under which the Company licensed the assets of ArcMail™. During the period ending September 30, 2020, the Company has completed the acquisition of selected assets of FileFacets™, and selected assets of Intelly WP™. The Company is actively seeking new products and entities to acquire, with several candidates identified. The Company has developed, and continues to develop, large scale relationships with cyber security, marketing and product organizations, and to market and promote ClassiDocs and other products the Company may develop or acquire. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had negative net working capital; an accumulated deficit; and, had reduced its operating losses.

We continue to monitor the effects COVID-19 could have on our operations and liquidity including our ability to collect account receivable timely from our customers due to the economic impacts COVID-19 could have on the general economy. COVID-19 has also impacted our ability to travel, meet distribution partners in their offices, present at tradeshows, and perform other enterprise-related sales functions. Many customers have still yet to return to their pre-pandemic “normal” office working conditions. These continued operating conditions have impacted our ability to execute and deploy some of our normal sales and marketing activities. While we are not unique in this position, these factors, among others, raise some doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

5,725,000 shares of common stock valued at $88,738 issued in conjunction with convertible note

NOTE 9: DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and hedging, and determined that the instrument should be classified as a liability since the conversion option becomes effective at issuance resulting in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options.

ASC 815 requires we assess the fair market value of derivative liability at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as other income or expense item.

The Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement during the year based on management’s estimate of the expected future cash flows required to settle the liabilities, and used the Binomial pricing model to calculate the fair value as of March 31, 2021. As of the three month period ended March 31, 2021, there were no derivative liabilities. The Binomial model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each convertible note and warrant is estimated using the Binomial valuation model.

For the three months March 31, 2021 and 2020, the estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows:

The Company valued the conversion feature using the Binomial pricing model. The fair value of the derivative liability for all the notes and convertible preferred stock that became convertible, including the notes and convertible preferred stock issued in prior years, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 amounted to $186,456, and $100,000 of the value assigned to the derivative liability was recognized as a debt discount to the notes, while the balance of $86,459 was recognized as a “day 1” derivative loss.

For the three months March 31, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, the estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows:

   Three months Ended Year Ended

MARCH 31, 2021

Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable such as share price has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. The Company estimates expected volatility giving primary consideration to the historical volatility of its common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the published yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term remaining equal to the expected life of the stock option. The expected lives of the stock options represent the estimated period of time until exercise or forfeiture and are based on the simplified method of using the mid-point between the vesting term and the original contractual term.

The following summarizes certain information about stock options vested and expected to vest as of March 31, 2021:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc (“the Company”), as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

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

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

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

Critical Accounting Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgement. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in anyway our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Going Concern Assessment

As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company prepared its financial statements on a going concern basis, and management has concluded that the Company has not generated significant income to date. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred net losses of USD 13.9 million and used the net cash in operating activities of USD 0.76 million. As of December 31, 2020, the accumulated deficit amounted to USD 35.52 million, total stockholders’ deficit of USD 3.49 million and the current liabilities exceeded the current assets in the amount of USD 5.42 million. The Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a business with no substantive revenue, as well as limitations on its operating capital resources. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise capital and generate revenue and profits in the future. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The principal consideration for our determination that performing procedures relating to the Company’s going concern assessment is a critical audit matter is the significant judgment by management for the going concern assessment, which is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise capital and generate revenue and profits in the future.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included testing the issuance of additional equity, debt securities and purchase of intellectual properties by the Company subsequent to year end. The evaluation of management’s going concern assessment also included consummation of external financing. Emphasis of a Matter is included regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern below.

Emphasis of a Matter

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 3 to the financial statements and going concern assessment of critical accounting matter above, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has working capital and stockholders’ deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DECEMBER 31, 2020 and 2019

NOTE 1: BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Nevada corporation on May 4, 1998. On October 15, 2019, the Company changed its name from LandStar, Inc. to Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. within the state of Nevada.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Data 443 Risk Mitigation, Inc., a North Carolina operating company, and the operations of Myriad Software Productions, LLC through September 2018 when it was liquidated. Prior to the acquisition of Data 443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. in North Carolina and the assets of Myriad Software Productions, LLC in 2018, these two entities were controlled by our sole director and officer, Jason Remillard. On November 17, 2017, Mr. Remillard acquired control of LandStar, Inc. through his purchase of all the outstanding Series A preferred shares of the Company, and as a result, these two entities became common controlled entities that require consolidation of results with the reporting company, LandStar, Inc., from the time common control occurred. All intercompany accounts and activities have been eliminated. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2020 and 2019

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenue primarily from contracts for subscription to access our SaaS platforms and, to a much lesser degree, ancillary services provided in connection with subscription services. The Company’s contracts include the performance obligations that require us to provide access to the platforms, usually on an annual subscription. The Company’s contracts are for subscriptions to DataExpressTM, ArcMail, and ARALOCTM, hosting of the platforms and related services. Custom work for specific deliverables is documented in the statements of work. Customers may enter into subscription and various statements of work concurrently or consecutively. Most of the Company’s performance obligations are not considered to be distinct from the subscription to DataExpressTM, ArcMail, and ARALOCTM, hosting of the platform and related services and are combined into a single performance obligation. New statements of work and modifications of contracts are reviewed each reporting period and to assess the nature and characteristics of the new or modified performance obligations on a contract by contract basis.

Revenue related to contracts with customers is evaluated utilizing the following steps: (i) Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) Determine the transaction price; (iv) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (v) Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded in accordance with ASC 310, “Receivables.” Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company does not currently have any amount recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts. Based on management’s estimate and based on all accounts being current, the Company has not deemed it necessary to reserve for doubtful accounts at this time.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue mostly consists of service subscriptions received from users in advance of revenue recognition. The increase in the deferred revenue balance for the year ended December 31, 2020 was driven by cash payments from customers in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, offset by revenue recognized that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period.

Convertible Financial Instruments

The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.

Common stock purchase warrants and derivative financial instruments - Common stock purchase warrants and other derivative financial instruments are classified as equity if the contracts (1) require physical settlement or net-share settlement, or (2) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). Contracts which (1) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (2) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (3) that contain reset provisions that do not qualify for the scope exception are classified as liabilities. The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liabilities is required.

DATA443 RISK MITIGATION, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2020 and 2019

Beneficial Conversion Feature - The issuance of the convertible debt described in Note 9, below, generated a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of common stock per share on the commitment date, resulting in a discount on the convertible debt (recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital). The discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible debt.

Share-Based Compensation

Employees - The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to employees, including the grant of employee stock options, to be calculated based on its fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date), and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.

Nonemployees - During June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”) to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2018-07 early. Under the requirements of ASU 2018-07, the Company accounts for share-based compensation to non-employees under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to be calculated based on the fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date), and recognized in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

The Company recorded approximately $1,349,646 in share-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to approximately $869,960 in share-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Determining the appropriate fair value model and the related assumptions requires judgment. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the fair value of each option grant was estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The expected volatility represents the historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded common stock. Due to limited historical data, the Company calculates the expected life based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the contractual term which is in accordance with the simplified method. The expected term for options granted to nonemployees is the contractual life. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of stock options. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its shares of common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero.

Income Taxes

The asset and liability method is used in the Company’s accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events are considered other than enactment of changes in the tax law or rates.

The Company adopted ASC 740 “Income Taxes,” which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits.

F-28

The determination of recording or releasing tax valuation allowance is made, in part, pursuant to an assessment performed by management regarding the likelihood that the Company will generate future taxable income against which benefits of its deferred tax assets may or may not be realized.

DECEMBER 31, 2020 and 2019

Intellectual Property

The cost of intangible assets with determinable useful lives is amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed on a straight-line basis over the estimated periods benefited. Patents, technology and other intangibles with contractual terms are generally amortized over their respective legal or contractual lives. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, an impairment assessment is performed and lives of intangible assets with determinable lives may be adjusted.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, consisting mostly of computer equipment, and software, is recorded at cost reduced by accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Depreciation expense is recognized over the assets’ estimated useful lives of three - seven years using the straight-line method. Major additions and improvements are capitalized as additions to the property and equipment accounts, while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, when appropriate, changes are made prospectively. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, asset lives may be adjusted and an impairment assessment may be performed on the recoverability of the carrying amounts.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

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 pricing an asset or a liability. The Company’s financial instruments, includingcarrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, note payable,marketable securities, trade receivables, short-term deposits and trade payables approximate their fair value due to related parties and accrued liabilities, are carried at historical cost. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term naturematurity of thesesuch instruments. Management determined that liabilities created by beneficial conversion features associated with the issuance of certain convertible notes payable (see Note 8), meet the criteria of derivatives and are required to be measured at fair value. The fair value of these derivative liabilities was determined during the year based on management’s estimate of the expected future cash flows required to settle the liabilities. As of the end of year, at December 31, 2020 there were no derivative liabilities due to a combination of all convertible notes being either (i) converted into common stock; or, (ii) amended to have a fixed conversion price. This valuation technique involves management’s estimates and judgment based on unobservable inputs and is classified in level 3.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share

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

For the year ended December 31, 20202022 and 2019,2021, respectively, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive.

Leases

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates and manages its business as one operating segment and all of the Company’s revenues and operations are currently in the United States.

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. For the Company, the new standard will be effective on January 1, 2020. ASU 2018-13 modifies prior disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU 2018-13 removes certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, such as removing the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, modifies existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty, and adds new disclosure requirements, such as disclosing the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurement.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)—Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. For the Company, the new standard will be effective on January 1, 2020. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license), by requiring a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to capitalize certain implementation costs as if the arrangement was an internal-use software project. The impact of this new standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements has not been material.

We adopted recently issued accounting pronouncements in 2019, and we believe that none had a significant impact on our financial position, balance sheet, results of operations, or cash flow, except for ASC Update No. 2016-02—Leases, which requires organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those periods) using a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. Data443 adopted ASU 2016-02 in the first quarter of 2019. See Note 5 for more complete details on balances at December 31, 2020.

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance will be effective for entities for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2021 and do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with “ConversionConversion and Other Options” and ASC subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

Lease right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset pursuant to the lease for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement of an arrangement where it is determined at inception that a lease exists. These assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term calculated using our estimated incremental borrowing rate generally applicable to the location of the lease right-of-use asset, unless an implicit rate is readily determinable. We combine lease and certain non-lease components in determining the lease payments subject to the initial present value calculation. Lease right-of-use assets include upfront lease payments and exclude lease incentives, if applicable. When lease terms include an option to extend the lease, we have not assumed the options will be exercised.

Lease expense for operating leases generally consist of both fixed and variable components. Expense related to fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are generally expensed as incurred, where applicable, and include agreed-upon changes in rent, certain non-lease components, such as maintenance and other services provided by the lessor, and other charges included in the lease. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

The Company determined that the conversion features, in the convertible notes, met the definition of a liability in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 - 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and therefore bifurcated the embedded conversion options once the notes become convertible and accounted for it as a derivative liability. The fair value of the conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the note.

The Company valued the conversion feature using the Binomial pricing model. The fair value of the derivative liability for all the notes that became convertible, including the notes issued in prior years, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 amounted to $10,854,214, and $947,175 of the value assigned to the derivative liability was recognized as a debt discount to the notes, while the balance of $9,907,039 was recognized as a “day 1” derivative loss.

As of December 31, 2020, $1,526,0002021, $100,000 notes that were issued in fiscal year 2020 were outstanding.

Promissory Notes - Issued in fiscal year 2021

Terms ranging from 90 days to 12 months.
Annual interest rates of 5% to 12%.
Convertible at the option of the holders after varying dates.
Conversion prices are typically based on the discounted (39% discount) average closing prices or lowest trading prices of the Company’s shares during 20 periods prior to conversion.
1,414 shares of common stock valued at $133,663 issued in conjunction with convertible notes.
117,992 warrants to purchase shares of common stock with an exercise price a range from $7.44 to 36.00 granted in conjunction with convertible notes. The term of warrant is 5 years from issue date. (Note 12)

The convertible note on October 19, 2021 by the Company in favor of Mast Hill Fund matured on October 19, 2022 which triggered the conversion provision, the default interest rate of 16% and penalty of 125% additional principal based on the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest. As a result of additional principal penalty, the outstanding principal balance increase $91,311 and the effective interest rate increased to 16%.

The convertible note on December 21, 2021 by the Company in favor of Westland Properties, LLC matured on December 21, 2022 which triggered the default interest rate of 24% and penalty of 125% additional principal based on the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest. The Company broke certain covenants of the convertible note related to the failure of the Company uplist 60 days from the note issuance date that triggered a 10% penalty of the outstanding principal and additional 5% of the outstanding principal every 10 calendar days until the uplist is completed or the note is paid off. The conversion provision triggered on the 6 month anniversary of the note as a result of not completing the uplist. As a result of the covenants, outstanding principal increased by $1,974,914 and the effective interest rate increased to 24% with an additional 5% every 10 days until uplist.

As of December 31, 2021, $1,607,857 notes that were issued in fiscal year 2021 were outstanding.

Promissory Notes - Issued in fiscal year 2022

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we issued convertible promissory notes with principal amounts totaling $2,120,575, which resulted in cash proceeds of $1,857,800 after deducting a financing fee of $262,775. The 2022 Convertible Notes have the following key provisions:

Terms ranging from 3 to 12 months.
Annual interest rates of 9% to 20%.
Convertible at the option of the holders after varying dates.
Conversion price based on a formula corresponding to a discount (20% or 39% discount) off the lowest trading price of our Common stock for the 20 prior trading days including the day on which a notice of conversion is received, although one of the 2022 Convertible Notes establishes a fixed conversion price of $4.50 per share.

554,464 shares of common stock valued at $473,691 issued in conjunction with convertible notes.

In connection with the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, we reclassified $517,500, previously allocated to the conversion feature, from additional paid-in capital to convertible notes on our balance sheet. The reclassification was recorded to combine the two legacy units of account into a single instrument classified as a liability. As of January 1, 2022, we also recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of $439,857 to accumulated deficit on our balance sheet, that was primarily driven by the derecognition of interest expense related to the accretion of the debt discount as required under the legacy accounting guidance. Under ASU 2020-06, we will no longer incur non-cash interest expense related to the accretion of the debt discount associated with the embedded conversion option.

NOTE 10: DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The CompanyWe analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and hedging, and determined that the instrument should be classified as a liability since the conversion option becomes effective at issuance resulting in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options.

ASC 815 requires we assess the fair market value of derivative liability at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as other income or expense item.

The CompanyWe determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement during the year based on management’s estimate of the expected future cash flows required to settle the liabilities, and used the Binomial pricing model to calculate the fair value as of December 31, 2020.2022. As of the end of year atended December 31, 20202022, there were no derivative liabilities. The Binomial model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each convertible note and warrant is estimated using the Binomial valuation model.

Under the PPP, the Company may apply to have certain amounts forgiven under the direction of the Administrator of the SBA providing that the Company satisfies certain criteria. Repayment of the PPP loan will commence earlier of when the SBA remits the forgiveness amount to the lender or the Maturity Date.

A penalty of 125% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest was triggered and as a result $173,333 and $70,500, respectively, additional principal was added to the outstanding balance. We are in communication with the lender.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, 330,00021 warrants were granted, for a period of five years from issuance, at price of $0.50$8,000 per share. However, as of September 30, 2020, 250,00016 of these original warrants, as reset, were completely cancelled and are all null and void in all respects as part of the consideration for the issuance of the Exchange Note.

As a result of the reset features, the warrants increased by 366,704,61922,919 for the periodyear ended December 31, 2020, and the total warrants exercisable into 368,908,30323,057 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.0051$81.60 per share as of December 31, 2020. The reset feature of warrants was effective at the time that a separate convertible instrument with lower exercise price was issued. We accounted for the issuance of the Warrants as a derivative.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with three existing investors in the Company (the “Holders”), each of which was the holder of warrants issued the Company. The total number of warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) held by the Holders totaled 330,250,187.2.

The risk-free interest rate is based on the published yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term remaining equal to the expected life of the stock option. The expected lives of the stock options represent the estimated period of time until exercise or forfeiture and are based on the simplified method of using the mid-point between the vesting term and the original contractual term.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Under our Amended and Restated Bylaws, every person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent legally permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada from time to time against all expenses, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees judgments, fines, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by him in connection therewith. Such right of indemnification shall be a contract right, which may be enforced in any manner desired by such person. The expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding must be paid by the Registrant as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by us. Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right which such directors, officers, or representatives may have or hereafter acquire, and, without limiting the generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders, provision of law, or otherwise.

Without limiting the application of the foregoing, our board of directors may adopt bylaws from time to time with respect to indemnification, to provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, and may cause the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of such status, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person. The indemnification provided shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

II-1

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

We have not entered into any agreements with our directors and executive officers that require us to indemnify these persons against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred (including expenses of a derivative action) in connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or any of our affiliated enterprises. We have an insurance policy covering our officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, or otherwise.

Item 17. Undertakings

(a)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows:

(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)To include any Prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than Prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)Any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)Any free writing Prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)The portion of any other free writing Prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or our securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the undersigned pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the undersigned has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the undersigned of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the undersigned in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the undersigned will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
