| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | Note 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of (i) Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries COR Analytics, LLC and MOR Analytics, LLC, and (ii) Helix Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Helix TCS, LLC, Security Consultants Group, LLC, Boss Security Solutions, LLC, Security Grade Protective Services, Ltd., Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc, Engeni LLC (including Engeni S.A., which is 99% owned by Engeni LLC) and Green Tree International, Inc. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial results of Helix and its subsidiaries are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements only for the 29-day period ended March 31, 2021. Use of Estimates Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses together with amounts disclosed in related notes to the financial statements. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is possible that the external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable; and Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable. The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable and accrued liabilities and other liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Credit Risk The Company considers all cash accounts that are not subject to withdrawal restrictions and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, as cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash with major financial institutions. Cash held at U.S. bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. The portion of deposits in excess of FDIC coverage is not protected by such insurance and represents a credit risk to the Company. At times, the Company’s deposits exceed this coverage. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions. Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $280,176 and $0 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Management charges account balances against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Long-Lived Assets, Including Definite Lived Intangible Assets Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows derived from such assets. Definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships, software technology and trade names. For long-lived assets used in operations, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted, probability-weighted future cash flows. The Company measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value. When an impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value. Goodwill Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. The Company reviews goodwill for possible impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The impairment model prescribes a two-step method for determining goodwill impairment. However, an entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the two-step goodwill impairment test is necessary. The qualitative factors considered by Forian may include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, the Company’s outlook, market performance of the Company’s industry and recent and forecasted financial performance. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. In the first step, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company then performs the second step of the impairment test, which requires allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities using the acquisition method prescribed under authoritative guidance for business combinations with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. An impairment charge is recognized when the implied fair value of the Company’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount. No impairment losses have been recognized during the periods presented. Business Combinations The Company accounts for its business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805-10, Business Combinations (“ASC 805-10”), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred. If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, the Company records the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date and any changes in fair value after the acquisition date are accounted for as measurement-period adjustments. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration resulting from events after the acquisition date, such as earn-outs, are recognized as follows: 1) if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, the contingent consideration is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity, or 2) if the contingent consideration is classified as a liability, the changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. ASC 606-10-32-32 requires the determination of the price at which the Company would sell individual products or services to a customer. The Company does not always have sufficient data or experience related to the terms and pricing for products and services when components are sold on a standalone basis. In instances where insufficient data exists, the Company recognizes the contractual fees ratably over the term of the arrangement. In instances where a customer has limited operating history or the customer has recently been formed, management may determine that it is prudent to recognize only the first year’s fees ratably over the first year of the term, more often than not resulting in the recognition of a lower amount of revenue during the first year. Performance obligations that are distinct and remain undelivered would not be recognized until the end of the contract provided that the consideration is guaranteed. No significant judgements affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue. The Company generates revenue from three categories of product offerings: Information and Software, Services and Other. In 2020, the revenue generated by the Company was exclusively from Information and Software relating to MOR. In 2021, the Company also began to recognize Information and Software, Services and Other revenues related to its acquisition of Helix on March 2, 2021. In most Information and Software contracts, payments are scheduled throughout the term and the contract may include one or more of the following performance obligations: (i) the provision of historical and/or current information as agreed upon, (ii) access to the information through a hosting provider, (iii) access to and use of software products (iv) installation and training and (v) access to the Company’s analytical team throughout the term of the agreement, as agreed upon. Information and Software contracts do not always have distinct pricing assigned to each performance obligation; rather, the price is bundled and the total bundled pricing is invoiced throughout the term of the agreement, with the exception of contracts for software products which provide separate pricing for implementation and training of such products. The Company recognizes revenue resulting from Information and Software pursuant to agreements under which the Company receives payments for providing the customer access to its products over the contract period. The Company satisfies its performance obligations throughout the term of the contract. Any payments received prior to satisfying performance obligations are deferred and recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied. There are no variable considerations or financing component under such contracts. Prices are typically fixed, but certain contracts can also include royalties in excess of fixed fees. There were $62,500 of royalties in excess of fixed fees for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Invoicing under contracts is set forth in an invoicing schedule as part of the contract and payments are typically due within 30 days. Services Revenue are primarily from contracts with government agencies and revenue is recognized upon completion of the various milestones within the contract. In the event that a contract does not specifically allocate revenue to the satisfaction of specific performance obligations or milestones, the purchase price of the contracts is allocated based on the percentage of time spent, or expected to be spent, to meet each performance obligation. Initial customization of the software to meet state specific requirements and the training to appropriately utilize the software are generally recognized upon completion of the customization and acceptance by the state agency. Support and service revenues are then recognized over a predetermined period of time as defined in the contract. Contract renewals may include an annual service fee that is recognized over the time period defined in the contract. Other revenues are primarily from security monitoring services offerings and the provision of web marketing services. Contracts for these services have a stated transaction price for monthly services and are recognized as the services are provided. Contract acquisition costs, which consist of sales commissions paid or payable, is considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions for initial and renewal contracts are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. $8,298 and $53,784 of such costs were capitalized as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. There are no significant judgements affecting the determination of the amount and timing of the related revenue. In the event the Company has not satisfied all performance obligations on its contracts with customers, any amounts of unbilled revenue or excess costs are recorded as contract assets and contract liabilities. Contract assets result when the cumulative revenue recognized exceeds the cumulative invoicing under a contract. The value of the differential is reflected in Contract assets and represents the value of the revenue that was not billed to customers as of the balance sheet date. Contract liabilities (“Deferred Revenue”) result when cumulative receipts under a contract for the same performance obligation exceeds the total revenue recognition and such excess is reflected in Deferred Revenue and represents the value of the performance obligations to be satisfied after March 31, 2021. The following are the contract balances as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021: Contract assets Balance at January 1, 2021 $ 196,701 Contract assets acquired from Helix 263,755 Add 218,333 Less (45,486 ) Less (206,349 ) Balance at March 31, 2021 $ 426,954 Contract liabilities (Deferred Revenue) Balance at January 1, 2021 $ 158,884 Contract liabilities assumed from Helix 636,910 Add 378,533 Less (503,143 ) Balance at March 31, 2021 $ 671,184 Segment Information Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer, who reviews the financial performance and the results of operations of the segments prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. Customer Concentration For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had a single customer that accounted for $237,500 of revenue, which represented 15% of revenues generated from customer sales. The Company believes that this customer is ultimately replaceable, and any disruption associated with this customer would only have a short-term impact on the business. The contract assets balance for this customer at March 31, 2021 was $125,000. Concentration of Vendors The Company has licensed certain information assets from a third party as a key input to certain of the Company’s Information and Software Products. Licensing fees to this vendor represented 29% and 43% of the Company’s operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This vendor is critical to the business. The Company believes that while this vendor is ultimately replaceable, any disruption associated with this vendor could have a material short-term impact on the business. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation which is recorded commencing at the in-service date using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to charge the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, which are 3 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets annually and whenever events and or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying value. There were no impairment losses recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Software Development Costs The Company accounts for costs incurred in the development of computer software in accordance with ASC Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software. Costs incurred in the application development stage are subject to capitalization and subsequent amortization and possible impairment. Application development stage costs were not material for the Company. Product development costs are primarily personnel related to activities for design and evaluating software development, testing, bug fixes, and other maintenance activities. Product development costs are expensed as incurred. The company capitalized software development costs of $50,228 and $0, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Contingencies Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expenses and amounted to $4,935 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Foreign Currency The local currency is the functional currency for one entity’s operations outside the United States. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the end of each period. Income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net loss for the period. Net Loss per Share Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. At March 31, 2021, the Company had potentially dilutive securities that could be exercised or converted into common stock. Refer to Note 13 for the Company’s disclosure on such potential dilution. Further, as the Company has incurred net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented. Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equit Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet (“temporary equity”). The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity. Initial Measurement The Company records its financial instruments classified as liability, temporary equity or permanent equity at issuance at the fair value, or cash received. Subsequent Measurement – Financial instruments classified as liabilities The Company records the fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities at each subsequent measurement date. The changes in fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities are recorded as other expense/income. Stock-based Compensation The Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan”) permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock awards and/or restricted stock units. Stock options represent the right to purchase the Company’s common stock at the exercise price on the date of grant of the stock option at a future date. Restricted stock awards are grants of shares of our common stock. Restricted stock units represent the right to receive shares of our common stock on future specified dates. Stock options, restricted stock awards and units granted contain restrictions that cause them to be subject to substantial risk of forfeiture and restrict their exercise, sale or other transfer by the grantee until they vest. The terms of the stock options, restricted stock awards and units granted under the 2020 Plan are determined by the Board of Directors in the agreement evidencing the award, including the number of shares, period of restriction or vesting schedule and other terms. The fair value of the stock options, restricted stock awards and units is based on the underlying grant date fair value of the Company’s common stock. The fair value is then expensed over the requisite service periods of the awards, net of forfeitures, which is generally the service period and the related amount is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Income Taxes MOR was organized as an LLC and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company upon completion of the Merger with Helix on March 2, 2021. As a result, the Company was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes through March 2, 2021. Accordingly, the Company’s taxable income, deductions, assets and liabilities are reported by the members on their respective income tax returns. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income tax has been made by the Company for all business activity from its inception through March 2, 2021. After March 2, 2021, the Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has an incurred net operating loss for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the period since March 2, 2021. Tax contingencies are recorded, if needed, to address potential exposure involving tax positions the Company has taken that could be challenged by tax authorities. These potential exposures could result from applications of various statutes, rules, regulations and interpretations. Any estimates of tax contingencies contain assumptions and judgments about potential actions by taxing jurisdictions. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions would be included as part of the income tax provision. The Company’s conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analysis of or changes in tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof as well as other factors. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company has considered all recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements. |
