ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
General
 
MobileSmith, Inc. (referred to herein as, “MobileSmith,” the “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) was incorporated in Delaware in August 1993 and became a public company through a self-registration in February 2005. The Company’s common stock trades on the OTC Market (OTC.QB) under the symbol “MOST”.
 
Principal Products and Services
  
We develop and marketMobileSmith is a developer of software applications for the healthcare industry solutionsindustry.  Our software products include a cloud-based  collection of  applications that run on our architected healthcare technology ecosystem.  The architecture is designed to do the following:
improve experience of healthcare patients and consumers, who are often at the same time members of various medical insurance networks
optimize delivery of healthcare by meansand relationship between members and insurance networks
increase adoption, utilization and intelligence of mobile technology.  Our software-as-a-service (“SaaS”)EMRs (electronic medical records), extend EMR's usability to patients and consumers of healthcare

Since 2013 the Company focused exclusively on the development of do-it-yourself customer facing platform and related services provide a catalog of vetted mobile app tools that can be rapidly customized and implemented by healthcare organizations with goals of addressing many key pain points of the industry, including preventable readmissions, adherence to treatment plans, management of chronic conditions.   Our flagship product is the MobileSmith® Platform (the “Platform”).  The Platform is an innovative hosted set of tools that enablesenabled organizations to rapidly create, deploy, and manage custom, native smartphone and tablet apps specific to healthcare industry deliverable across iOS and Android mobile platforms without writing a single line of code.  Platform related services often include data integration, trainingDuring 2017 the Company concluded that it had its highest rate of success with clients within the Healthcare industry and integrationconcentrated its development and sales and marketing efforts in that industry.  During 2018 we further refined our Healthcare offering and redefined our product - a suite of third party services. We also provide consulting services, which include assistance with design and implementation ofe-health mobile strategy, implementation of mobile marketing strategy and development of mobile apps.  Revenue from such services is included in the Professional Services and Other Revenue line of our Statement of Operations.  Delivery of Professional Services requires allocationsolutions that consist of a portioncatalog of our research and development efforts into Cost of Revenue. 
The Platform has applications outside of healthcare and has been successfully deployed in retail and real estate operations.
Mode of Operations
In our business model the customers acquire accessready to the Platform through user subscription agreements and are able to obtain control ofdeploy mobile app production. We often refersolutions (App Blueprints) and support services.  In 2019 and 2020 we consolidated our  current solutions under a single offering branded Peri™.  Peri™ is designed to bridge the gap between healthcare industry system tools and healthcare consumer's mobile device.

From time to time we have provided custom software development services.  Such services are not core to our business model as platform-as-a-service ("PaaS"), because we not only offer cloud software to create mobile apps, we offer infrastructure to hostand will likely decrease in significance in the newly created mobile apps, back-office tools to manage those apps, cloud tools to connect customers data or ability to incorporate existing third party software code into customer apps.  Out Platform is a truly comprehensive offering and thus more accurately described by the PaaS model.  In the industry and this report terms SaaS and PaaS may be used interchangeably as common reference to cloud computing model. future. 
Our business model allows for creation and management of any desired number of apps by our customers for a monthly subscription fee. The on-demand PaaS model developed using multi-tenant architecture enables end users to visit a website and use the PaaS applications, all via a web browser, with no installation, no special information technology knowledge and no maintenance. The PaaS application is transformed into a service that can be used anytime and anywhere by the end user. Multi-tenant PaaS applications also permit us to add needed functionality to our applications in one location for the benefit of all end users. This capability allows us to provide upgrades universally.


 
Target Market and Sales Channels
 
During 2017 we completed a strategic shift and focused our business activities and research and development activities primarily on healthcarethe Healthcare industry in the United States. AlthoughIn 2018 we refined our Platform was designed with broad use in mind, our customer base started to increasingly gravitate towards healthcare clientsfocus by identifying two target markets: (i) healthcare providers (including hospitals, hospital systems and hospitalsthe United States Veterans Health Administration) and once we developed industry expertise, validated use cases that demonstrate return on investment from use of mobile apps in(ii) healthcare we solidified our focus on the healthcare industry.

We identified several trends in healthcare that are affecting use of mobile technology in healthcare market:
payer market (including insurance companies and insurance brokers).
 
Increased pressures on healthcare industry to provide consumer-focused services,Both markets are targeted with a diversified sales workforce that includes direct sales and resellers, such as evidenced by entry of non-traditional healthcare players, like retail pharmacies into offering primary healthcare nation wide;
Tech-savvy Generation X and Millennial consumers are becoming primary healthcare consumers and are demanding ease of use and transparency in healthcare and expect mobile access to healthcare services, information and interaction with the healthcare provider via mobile device;
Increasing pressure from both government regulation and the traditional private payers to reduce costs by compensating healthcare providers based on value and outcome delivered.
We believe that the do-it-yourself model for creation and management of apps will become a cost effective solution for healthcare clients who have an ever increasing need to interact with their customers and employees through mobile devices. Single apps may reach their limits of usability very quickly, if made complex. The Platform provides the subscriber with the capacity to create multiple, customized non-template apps with designated functionalities and specific designs without incurring additional costs.
channel partners. 
 
Principal Customers
 
In 2016During 2019 we hadincreased our services to a major retail customergovernment agency and the revenue from that accounted for approximately 15%relationship comprised 17% of our 2016recognized aggregate revenue. TheThis same customer accounted for approximately 7%12% of 2017 revenue. In 2017 we had a major healthcarerecognized revenue in 2020.  The contract with this customer was completed in federal government space that2020. Such services are not core to our business model and unlikely to be significant in the future.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, one customer accounted for 46%12% of our 2017the Company’s revenue. The revenue from this major government customer had been deferredin compliance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("US GAAP") revenue recognition requirementsTwo customers accounted for sale91% of software products and services and was recognized during 2017, when such requirements were met.  Contracts with both the major retail and major government customers endednet accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2017.  Our future revenues will be negatively impacted by loss of these two major customers. 
2020.
 
Research and Development
In 2017 we continued to enhance the Platform with various functionalities sought by current and target customers.  We continuously monitor such demand, rapidly develop the functionalities and make them available to all our customers, current and future.
  
During 2017 and 2018 we focused our Blueprints featuretechnological and design efforts on our Blueprint features, that dominated our offering to healthcare providers in 2019  (Blueprint is afully customizable pre-built app targeting specific healthcare related business function or health condition)proved successful, so we focused on Platform enhancements to optimize its use:.
 
We completed a “clone app” featureDuring 2019 we invested heavily in development of our Peri™  solution, which was introduced to the market during that allows any app or app Blueprintyear and in 2020 we continued to be easily copied, stored, or modified to be shared across any customer account.  We will continue to enhance this feature until our platform can offer a crowd-sourced app block functionality;
We added a new wayfinding app block that allows any healthcare company to plug in a mapping platformrefine the product and provide a Google maps blue dot style navigation through their hospital complexes;
We added a set of services offerings to help our customers quickly customize and deploy our Blueprints.
Based on a detailed competitive assessment, we started a process of modernizing our Platform to take advantage of the latest iOS and Android capabilities: we released support for Android’s Material Design Language, as well as support for Android 8 (Oreo) and iOS 11.  We expect to complete this project to support VIPER architecture that allows pluggable custom code blocks in 2018.
Our research and development team has begun a fundamental redesign of the Platform architecture to take advantage of new technologies from Amazon Web Service to provide highly scalable multi-tenant functionality. add features.

We incurred research and development expenses of approximately $1.67 million and $1.7 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 
Competition
 
We occupy a unique position among a larger numberhave been successful in penetrating the healthcare provider technology market and developed extensive expertise in the industry.  With many of rapid app development platforms onour customers we enjoy five-plus year relationships.  However, the market, becauses we provide a no-code platform that allows for full customization of developed apps and includes ability to quickly add reusable custom native code or hybrid HTML 5 code targetinghealthcare provider technology industry specific features, complex user interfaces, and workflows into a single seamless app user experience.is highly competitive.  Our competitors tendrange from successful established companies to focus on only one rapid app development style (no code, hybrid, or low code) which limits their abilityemerging start-ups.  Many of these companies have significantly greater financial, personnel, and other resources than we do.  Moreover, more companies enter the industry and market every year.  As a result of this, we expect the competition we face to either leverage non-programmers, or their ability to quickly provide custom functionality.grow stronger in the next five years.
 
Investment in building our expertise in healthcare industry adds to our competitive advantage.

Intellectual Property
 
During 2014, we stopped pursuing the majority of our patent applications as we determined that the cost of pursuing them is greater than the potential protection provided by them.  Since then we have been granted one patent associated with our Platform.technology.
 
We also have several trademarks registered and pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. These trademarks cover certain brand names that identify specifics of the Platform user interface.our offerings.
 
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2017,2020, we had 3228 full time employees and no part-time employees. None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the risks described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before making an investment decision. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. Our common stock is considered speculative and the trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The following risk factors are not the only risk factors facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business.
 
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have materially affected how we and our customers are operating our businesses, and the duration and extent to which this will impact our future results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain.
Conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted our main customer base - healthcare providers in the United States. Healthcare providers in many states were overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients during 2020 and beginning of 2021. Many hospitals halted elective and critical surgical procedures, which are the main target of our primary Peri™ offering. Many hospitals furloughed their non-essential staff or re-assigned their staff to intensive care units. We have experienced difficulties in our selling process, in engaging decision makers within hospital organizations. Travel limitations have also restricted access to our current and potential customers.
Elective surgeries are a significant component of hospital revenues. Without such revenue healthcare systems may incur significant losses from operations and reduced cashflows. We may experience an increase in non-renewals for subscription to our software products or adverse changes to the payment terms under existing contracts.
If the COVID-19 pandemic has an extended substantial impact on our employees and customers, our results of operations, our liquidity and access to financing may be negatively impacted.
A default by us in respect to the amounts outstanding on the notes outstanding under the commercial bank loan when due in 2022 would enable the bank to foreclose on our assets.
The Company has an outstanding Loan and Security Agreement (the “LSA”) with Comerica Bank in the amount of $5,000,000, which matures in June of 2022 and is secured by an extended irrevocable letter of credit issued by UBS AG (Geneva, Switzerland) (“UBS AG”) with a renewed term expiring on May 31, 2021, which term is renewable for one year periods, unless notice of non-renewal is given by UBS AG at least 45 days prior to the then current expiration date.  The provision of any such notice by UBS will constitute an event of default under the LSA, at which time all amounts outstanding under the LSA will become due and payable. As of the filing date of this Form 10-K, no such notice has been provided to us nor have we been provided with any indication that we are to receive notice of non-renewal of the letter of credit.We also have no commitments of funding should UBS elect to not renew the letter of credit.
Any foreclosure efforts under the LSA could force us to substantially curtail or cease our operations.
Historically, we have operated at a loss, and we continue to do so.
 
We have had recurring losses from operations and continue to have negative cash flows. If we do not become cash flow positive through additional financing or growth, we may have to cease operations and liquidate our business.
 
We are dependent on existing and other investors for the financing of our operations and their inability or unwillingness to fund our operations can have a material adverse effect on our operations.
 
WeSince inception, we have not yet achieved positive cash flows from operations, and our main source of operating funds issince 2007 was the sale of notes under two convertible note facilities that we implemented.implemented and through issuance of subordinated promissory notes. See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. Since November 2007In December of 2020 and January of 2021 we exchanged all non-bank debt into Series A Convertible Preferred stock (the "Series A Preferred") with the same investors.  We expect to finance our operations through the dateissuance of this report, we have raised approximately $47.7 million through these note facilities and we have the ability to raise up to an additional $25.6 million under such facilities from existing note holders and others upon request. However, no assurance can be provided that we will in fact be able to raise needed amounts through the facilities or through any other sources on commercially reasonable terms. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock going forward.  If financing through the note facilitiesissuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock becomes unavailable, we will need to seek other sources of funding.  The inability to raise additional funds when needed whether through the note facilities or otherwise,on terms acceptable to us may have a material adverse effect on our operations.
 
Our independent registered public accounting firm indicatesThe fact that it hasthere is substantial doubt that we canabout our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm’s opinionconcern may  negatively affect our ability to raise additional funds, among other things. If we fail to raise sufficient capital, we will not be able to implement our business plan, we may have to liquidate our business, and you may lose your investment.
 
Cherry Bekaert LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has expressed substantialOur audited financial statements underscore doubt in its report included within this Annual Report on Form 10-K about our ability to continue as a going concern given our recurring losses from operations and deficiencies in working capital and equity, which are described in the first risk factor above. This reportconcern.  Such disclosure could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds by issuing new debtequity or equitydebt securities or otherwise. If we fail to raise sufficient capital, we will not be able to implement our business plan and, we may have to liquidate our business, and youwhich may loseresult in the loss of your entire investment. You should consider disclosures related to the going concern that we have made in our independent registered public accounting firm’s reportfinancial statements when determining if an investment in us is suitable.

A default by us in respect of the amounts outstanding on the notes outstanding under the note facilities and the commercial bank loans when due in 2018 would enable these creditors to foreclose on our assets.
 
The Notes currently outstanding under the Convertible Note Facilities, which together with interest accrued as of the date of this report on Form 10-K aggregate approximately $41.3 million, come due in November 2018.  In addition, we have an outstanding Loan and Security Agreement (the “LSA”) with Comerica Bank in the amount of $5,000,000, which matures in June of 2018 and is secured by an extended irrevocable letter of credit issued by UBS AG (Geneva, Switzerland) (“UBS AG”) with a renewed term expiring on May 31, 2018, which term is renewable for one year periods, unless notice of non-renewal is given by UBS AG at least 45 days prior to the then current expiration date.  The provision of any such notice by UBS will constitute an event of default under the LSA, at which time all amounts outstanding under the LSA will become due and payable. As of the date of this report on Form 10-K, no such notice has been provided to us nor have we been provided with any indication that we are to receive notice of non-renewal of the letter of credit.
Unless we can defer payment on the notes or such notes are in fact converted into our common stock, of which no assurance can be provided, we will need to find other sources of funding to pay the amounts that are scheduled to come due in November 2018. We also have no commitment from any funding source should UBS elect to not renew the letter of credit.
Furthermore, the amounts under the LSA as well as approximately $23.6 million under the Notes, are secured by a lien on our assets. A default by us under these notes or the LSA would enable these creditors to foreclose on our assets. Additionally, the non-renewal of the letter of credit securing the UBS note, which is currently scheduled to expire on May 31, 2018, would also trigger an event of default under the LSA as well as the outstanding notes. Any foreclosure could force us to substantially curtail or cease our operations.

  
The delivery of software via the SaaS business model is more vulnerable to cyber-crime than the sale of pre-packaged software.
  
Our service involves the storage and transmission of customers’ proprietary information. If our security measures are breached as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise and, as a result, unauthorized access is obtained to our customers’ data or our data, our reputation could be damaged, our business may suffer, and we could incur significant liability. In addition, third parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees or customers to disclose sensitive information such as user names, passwords, or other information in order to gain access to our customers’ data or our data, which could result in significant legal and financial exposure and a loss of confidence in the security of our service that would harm our future business prospects. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, or to sabotage systems, change frequently and generally are not recognized until 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 could be harmed and we could lose sales and customers.
 
Our business is currently dependent on the success of a single product, the Platform, and related services.Peri® offering.
 
Our business model is dependent on the commercial success of the Platform.Peri™. Our future financial performance and revenue growth will depend on acceptance by the market of our vision that mobile app development byproduct. If the market does not accept Peri™ as a non-developerviable product to address the market’s needs, it will becomehave a mainstream solution for businesses of all sizes. Our growth is dependentmaterially adverse impact on the introduction of new features to the Platform and innovation in the area of mobile app development solutions for a wide range of customers.our business.
 
Government regulation may subject us to liability or require us to change the way we do business.
 
The laws and regulations that govern our business change rapidly. Evolving areas of law that are relevant to our business include privacy and security laws, proposed encryption laws, content regulation, information security accountability regulation, sales and use tax laws and regulations and attempts to regulate activities on the Internet. In addition to being directly subject to certain requirements of the HIPAA privacy and security regulations, we are required through contracts with our customers known as “business associate agreements” to protect the privacy and security of certain personal and health related information. We are required to comply with revised requirements under the HIPAA privacy and security regulations. The rapidly evolving and uncertain regulatory environment could require us to change how we do business or incur additional costs. Further, we cannot predict how changes to these laws and regulations might affect our business. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject us to civil and criminal penalties, subject us to contractual penalties, including termination of our customer agreements, damage our reputation and have a detrimental impact on our business.
Our propriety rights may prove difficult to enforce.
Our Platform technology is not patent protected and is not exclusive to us, as there are various platforms in the market that allow for creation of mobile apps, ranging from “do it yourself” platforms for creation of template apps to platform tools designed for use by developers.  Although we consider our Platform unique, in that it allows for creation of sophisticated mobile apps by non-developers, there is no guarantee that another company will not build a similar platform.
Furthermore, many key aspects of networking technology are governed by industry wide standards, which are usable by all market entrants. Although we are not dependent on any individual patents or group of patents for particular segments of the business for which we compete, if we are unable to protect our proprietary rights to the totality of the features (including aspects of products protected other than by patent rights) in a market, we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to others who need not incur the substantial expense, time, and effort required to create innovative products that have enabled us to be successful.
 
We may be found to infringe on intellectual property rights of others.
 
Third parties, including customers, may in the future assert claims or initiate litigation related to exclusive patent, copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights to technologies and related standards that are relevant to us. Because of the existence of a large number of patents in the mobile apps field, the secrecy of some pending patents, and the rapid rate of issuance of new patents, it is not economically practical or even possible to determine in advance whether a product or any of its components infringes or will infringe on the patent rights of others. The asserted claims and/or initiated litigation can include claims against us or our manufacturers, suppliers, or customers, alleging infringement of their proprietary rights with respect to our existing or future products or components of those products. Regardless of the merit of these claims, they can be time-consuming, result in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel, or require us to develop a non-infringing technology or enter into license agreements. Where claims are made by customers, resistance even to unmeritorious claims could damage customer relationships. There can be no assurance that licenses will be available on acceptable terms and conditions, if at all, or that our indemnification by our suppliers will be adequate to cover our costs if a claim were brought directly against us or our customers. Furthermore, because of the potential for high court awards that are not necessarily predictable, it is not unusual to find even arguably unmeritorious claims settled for significant amounts. If any infringement or other intellectual property claim made against us by any third party is successful, if we are required to indemnify a customer with respect to a claim against the customer, or if we fail to develop non-infringing technology or license the proprietary rights on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
 
Our exposure to risks associated with the use of intellectual property may be increased as a result of acquisitions, as we have a lower level of visibility into the development process with respect to such technology or the care taken to safeguard against infringement risks.
 

 
Officers, directors, principal stockholders and other related parties control us. This might lead them to make decisions that do not align with interests of minority stockholders.
 
Our principal stockholders beneficially own or control a large percentage of our outstanding common stock. Certain of these principal stockholders hold Notes,Series A Convertible Preferred equity, which may be exercised or converted into additional shares of our common stock under certain conditions. The Noteholdersholders of Series A Preferred shares have designated a bond representative to act as their agent.

Accordingly, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of us; impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover, or other business combination involving us; or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Future utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be limited.
 
In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a change in equity ownership of greater than 50% of the Company within a three-year period can result in an annual limitation on the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards that were created during tax periods prior to the change in ownership. A change in ownership may result from the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to conversion of the NotesSeries A Preferred or any other event that would resultresults in the issuance of common or preferred shares of the Company, among other events.
 
Any future issuance of our shares of common stock could have a dilutive effect on the value of our existing shares of common stock.
 
The conversion price on our outstanding Series A Preferred stock is 30 shares of common for one share of preferred, which equates to purchase price of one share of common stock for every $1.43 of investment into convertible promissory notes is fixed at $1.43.or Series A Preferred Shares and on March 22, 2021 the closing price of our stock was $3.23 per share.  As of the date of this report, we have $40,530,0001,277,377 of face value NotesSeries A Preferred outstanding convertible into 28,342,65738,321,310 shares of common stock.stock, which would more than double our current number of shares of common stock outstanding.  As we continue to issue more notes,of the Series A Preferred, the number of conversion shares will increase.


 
The ability of our Board of Directors to issue additional stock may prevent or make more difficult certain transactions, including a sale or merger of the Company.
 
Our Board of Directors will beis authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with powers, rights and preferences designated by it.it, of which it designated 1,750,000 for Series A Convertible Preferred stock.  Shares of voting or convertible preferred stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to create voting impediments or to frustrate persons seeking to effectaffect a takeover or otherwise gain control of the Company.  The ability of the Board of Directors to issue such additional shares of preferred stock, with rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of the Company by tender offer or other means.  Such issuances could therefore deprive stockholders of benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price for their shares in a tender offer or the temporary increase in market price that such an attempt could cause.  Moreover, the issuance of such additional shares of preferred stock to persons friendly to the Board of Directors could make it more difficult to remove incumbent officers and directors from office even if such change were to be favorable to stockholders generally.
 
There currently is no activevery limited public market for our Common Stockcommon stock and there can be no assurance that ana more active public market will ever develop.

We may not ever be able to satisfy the listing requirements for our Common Stockcommon stock to be listed on a national securities exchange, which is often a more widely-tradedwidely traded and liquid market. Some, but not all, of the factors which may delay or prevent the listing of our Common Stockcommon stock on a more widely-traded and liquid market include the following: our stockholders’ equity may be insufficient; the market value of our outstanding securities may be too low; our net income from operations may be too low; our Common Stockcommon stock may not be sufficiently widely held; we may not be able to secure market makers for our Common Stock;common stock; and we may fail to meet the rules and requirements mandated by the several exchanges and markets to have our Common Stockcommon stock listed.

Penny Stock Regulations are applicable to investment in shares of our Common Stock.common stock.
 
Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the SEC. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges, provided that current prices and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities are provided by the exchange or system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to penny stock rules. Many brokers will not deal with penny stocks, restricting the market for our shares of common stock.

Overview of Financing Activities and Sources of Cash
 
From November 14, 2007 and through the dateNovember of this report on Form 10-K,2020, we have financed our working capital deficiency primarily through the issuance of ourconvertible promissory notes under two convertible note facilities.facilities and subordinated promissory notes to related parties. The first, established in November 2007, is evidenced by the Convertible Secured Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement, dated November 14, 2007, as amended (as so amended, the “2007 NPA”) and the second, established in December 2014, is evidenced by the unsecured Convertible Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement (the “2014 NPA”); together with the 2007 NPA, the(the “Convertible Note Facilities”)) with Union Bancaire Privée, UBP SA ("UBP").   All references in this filing to “2007 NPA Notes” will mean notes issued under the  2007 NPA and all references to “2014 NPA Notes" will mean notes issued under the 2014 NPA.  All references to the Convertible Notes will mean any convertible note or notes issued either under 2007 or 2014 NPAs.  All references to Subordinated Promissory Notes will mean any subordinated note or notes, as defined under Subordinated Promissory Notes, Related Parties in "Debt" footnote in ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
 
From November 14, 2007 and through December 10, 2014, we have financed our working capital deficiency primarily with the issuance of Notes under the 2007 NPA.   On December 11, 2014 the Company entered into the 2014 NPA and issued its first 2014 NPA Note to UBP.  We intend to primarily use our 2014 NPA for future issuances of convertible notes.
 

  
In June of 20162020 we extended maturity of both the 2007 and 2014 NPA Notes from November of 20162020 to November of 2018,2022, which lengthened the period of time over which the debt discount is amortized.  
 
During 2017,2020, we borrowed a total of $3,725,000$4,550,000 under the 2014 NPA and converted $7,000,000 in principal amount of 2007 NPA Notes into shares of common stock. The aggregate balance of the Notes as of December 31, 2017 was $37,781,883, net of discount of $498,117.NPA.

We have not yet achieved positive cash flows from operations, and historically our main source of funds for our operations continues to behad been the sale of our convertible promissory notes issued under our convertible note facilities and subordinated promissory notes to related parties.  Subsequent to the exchange of debt for Series A Convertible Note Facilities.Preferred Stock that was completed on January 28, 2021, our source of funding is expected to be issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred stock.   We need to continue to rely on this sourceoutside funding until we are able to generate sufficient cash from revenues to fund our operations or obtain alternate sources of financing.operations. We believe that anticipated cash flows from operations, and additional issuances of Notes, of which no assurance can be provided,Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, together with cash on hand, will provide sufficient funds to finance our operations at least for the next 12 months from the date of this report.  Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, or other events may cause us to seek additional equity or debt financing in future periods. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available to us under the Convertible Note Facilities or otherwise on acceptable terms, orif at all. Additional equity and convertible debt financing could be dilutive to the holders of shares of our common stock, and additional debt financing, if available, could impose greater cash payment obligations and more covenants and operating restrictions.
 
During 2017, the Company raised gross proceeds of $3,725,000 from the private placement to UBP under 2014 NPA.  Subsequent to December 31, 2017 and through the date of this report,2020 the Company issued additional$1,650,000 and $2,900,000 in 2014 NPA Notesnotes to UBP in the amount of $2,250,000related and a short term bridge loan to a related party in the amount of $325,000.unrelated parties, respectively.
 
In addition, during the year the Company issued  $1,910,000 in subordinated promissory to related parties. 

We issued 350,000 in Series A Convertible Preferred shares and received a $542,100 PPP loan.
Nonetheless, there are factors that can impact our ability to continue to fund our operating the next twelve months. These include:
 
Our ability to expand revenue volume;volume during and post the COVID-19 pandemic, when healthcare systems have been concentrating their efforts on emergency services, recovery from pandemic  and may postpone other initiatives;
  
Our ability to maintain product pricing as expected, particularly in light of increased competition and its unknown effects on market dynamics;
  
Our continued need to reduce our cost structure while simultaneously expanding the breadth of our business, enhancing our technical capabilities, and pursing new business opportunities.opportunities;
 ● Our ability to raise capital amidst global economic downturn associated with COVID-19 pandemic.
 
In addition, if UBS were to elect not to not renew the irrevocable letter of credit issued by it beyond May 31, 2018,2021, the currently scheduled expiration date, then such non-renewal will result in an event of default under the LSA, at which time all amounts outstanding under the LSA of approximately $5 million will become due and payable. Currently, the letter of credit is automatically extended for one year periods, unless notice of non-renewal is given by UBS AG at least 45 days prior to the then current expiration date.  As of the filing date of this report on Form 10-K, no such notice has been provided to us nor have we been provided with any indication that we are to receive notice of non-renewal of the letter of credit.
 
Additionally, all notes issued under the 2007 and 2014 NPAs mature on November 14, 2018and Comerica LSA matures on June 6, 2018.  The Company is actively working with the debt holders to extend the maturity of both Notes and the LSA.

Uses of Cash
During the year ended December 31, 2017, we used in operating activities approximately $7.6 million, which was offset by $3.4 million in cash collected from our customersnettingapproximately $4.2 million of net cash used in operating activities.  Approximately $3.2 million of this amount was used to pay interest payments on the convertible notes and bank debt; approximately $3.3 million for payroll, benefits and related costs; approximately $370,000 was used for non-payroll related sales and marketing efforts, such as tradeshows and marketing campaigns and approximately $756,000 was used for other non-payroll development and general and administrative expenses, which included among other things: infrastructure costs, rent, insurance, legal, professional, compliance, and other expenditures.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we used in operating activities approximately $7.7 million, which was offset by $2.3 million in cash collected from our customers, netting approximately $5.4 million of net cash used in operating activities.  Approximately $3.2 million of this amount was used to pay interest payments on the convertible notes and bank debt; approximately $3.3 million for payroll, benefits and related costs; approximately $485,000 was used for non-payroll related sales and marketing efforts, such as tradeshows and marketing campaigns and approximately $722,000 was used for other non-payroll development and general and administrative expenses, which included among other things: infrastructure costs, rent, insurance, legal, professional, compliance and other expenditures.
 
Capital Expenditures and Investing Activities
 
Our capital expenditures are limited to the purchase of new office equipment and new mobile devices that are used for testing.  Cash used for investing activities was not significant and we do not plan any significant capital expenditures in the near future.expenditures.
 
Going Concern
 
Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an emphasis of matter paragraph in their report included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in which they express substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern depends on our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, extend payment terms, to obtain additional financing that is currently required, and ultimately to attain profitable operations and positive cash flows. There can be no assurance that our efforts to raise capital or increase revenue will be successful. If our efforts are unsuccessful, we may have to cease operations and liquidate our business.
 
Critical accounting policies and estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, intangible assets and income taxes. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
We have identified the accounting policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.
 

 
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue and Multiple Element Arrangements
 
We follow U.S. GAAP principlesRevenue Recognition: General Overview and Performance Obligations to Customers
The Company derives revenue primarily from contracts for subscription to the suite of revenue recognition, which allows recognizing revenue only: (a) when an arrangement exists; (b) whene-health mobile solutions and, to a much lesser degree, ancillary services provided in connection with subscription services.
The Company’s contracts include the Company delivered its obligations under such arrangement; (c) whenfollowing performance obligations:
Access to the fees are fixed or determinable; and (d) when collectioncontent available on the App Blueprint Catalog, including hosting of the fees billed is reasonably assured. Certain customers prepay the annual subscription fees at the beginningdeployed apps;
App Build and Managed Services;
Custom development work.
The majority of the term. In suchCompany’s contracts are for subscription to a catalog of mobile App Blueprints, hosting of the deployed apps 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 Blueprints, hosting of deployed apps and related services and are combined into a single performance obligation except for some custom development work which is capable of being distinct. New statements of work and modifications of contracts are reviewed each reporting period and significant judgment is applied as to nature and characteristics of the new or modified performance obligations on a contract by contract basis.
Revenue Recognition: Transaction Price of the Contract and Satisfaction of Performance Obligations
The transaction price of the contract is an aggregate amount of consideration payable by customer for delivery of contracted services. Transaction price is impacted by the terms of a contracted agreement with the customer. Such terms range from one to three years.  The transaction price may include a significant financing component in instances a deferred revenue liabilitywhere Company offers discounts for accelerated payments on the long-term contracts.  A significant financing component is recorded in other assets and is amortized as interest expense in the Company’s statement of operations over the term of the contract. 
The transaction price is predominantly allocated to the single performance obligation of access to the Blueprints, hosting and related services and, to a lesser degree, allocated between the access and other distinct performance obligations based on our balance sheet and the stand-alone selling price. The subscription revenue is then recognized asover the term of the contract, using the output method of time elapsed. Other performance obligations underidentified are evaluated based on the specific terms of the agreement are fulfilledusually recognized at a point in time upon delivery of a specific documented output. Management believes that such chosen methods faithfully depict satisfaction of Company performance obligations and transfer of benefit to the customers.
The full transaction price of the contract may be billed in its entirety or in agreed upon installments.  Billed transaction price in excess of revenue recognized results in the recording of a contract liability.  Unbilled portion of transaction price represents contracted consideration receivable by us. Often Mobilesmith’sthe Company that was not yet billed. 

Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract
The Company’s incremental costs of obtaining a contract include sales commissions and are recognized as other assets on the balance sheet for the contracts combine various typeswith a term exceeding 12 months. These costs are amortized through the term of deliverablesthe contract and are recorded as sales and marketing expense. As of December 31, 2020 the Company’s other assets include approximately $5,000 of such as subscription feescosts. 
Contract Liabilities
A new contract liability is created every time the Company records receivables due from its customers and various professional services. Such Multiple-Element Arrangements are broken out into separate unitshas not satisfied the requirements to recognize revenue. Contract liability represents Company’s obligation to transfer services for which the Company has already invoiced.  Most of accounting aligned with various deliverables within the arrangement. contract liabilities will be recognized in revenue over a period of 12 to 36 months.

Share-Based Compensation
The value of each deliverable withinCompany measures share-based compensation cost at the arrangement is determinedgrant date based on the best estimate of selling price (“BESP”) and the assignedfair value of each unitthe award. The Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The requisite service period is generally three years.  The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The Company uses the simplified method allowed by SAB 107 for estimating expected term of accounting is recognizedthe options in revenue as individual obligations are delivered.
Salecalculating the fair value of software takes place whenthe awards that have a term of more than 7 years because the Company sells perpetual license to the Platform through installation in a private cloud.  Revenue recognition begins when all elementsdoes not have reliable historical data on exercise of the agreement, besides post-contract customer support, are delivered (including installation, if applicable).  The software revenue is recognized ratably over the period of post-contract customer support.its options. 
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-9 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017,Fair Value Measurements
Certain debt and early adoption is permitted.   Originallyequity transactions require the Company planned to adopt the standard early.  During the current period the Company concluded that costs of early adoption outweighed the anticipated benefits during the year and concluded that the adoption will take place with the period beginning on January 1, 2018, in compliance with therecord newly issued standards.The Company selected a retrospective approachfinancing instruments at fair value at the time of adoption, at which time cumulative effectissuance.  The Company follows guidance in ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements to determine fair value of initially adoptingsuch instruments.  We use Level 3 from the standard will be recognizedfair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC 820.  Level 3 inputs require us to use significant judgements and unobservable inputs when determining fair value of financing instruments.  Such judgements and inputs are described in retained earnings as of the date of adoption and additionaldetail in footnote disclosures will be included6 in the financial statements.  Prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted.  The Company expectsstatements that adoption of Topic 606 will not have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.accompany this report.   
 
Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets every reporting period or whenever events and circumstances indicate that the value may be impaired.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MobileSmith, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 20172020 and 2016,2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017,2020, 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, 20172020 and 2016,2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017,2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.America (“US GAAP”).
 
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern Uncertainty
TheseThe accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficiency as of December 31, 2017.2020. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans concerning theseregarding those matters are also described in Note 1 to the financial statements.1. 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 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 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.
 
Critical Audit Matters
/s/ CHERRY BEKAERT LLP

We have served as the Company's auditors since 2009. 
Raleigh, North Carolina
March, 29, 2018 
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Debt and Equity Instruments
As disclosed in Notes 4 and 6 to the financial statements, the Company has entered into convertible note agreements with individuals including related parties. The accounting for the transactions were complex, as it required assessment as to whether features, other than the conversion feature, required bifurcation and separate valuation. Additionally, the transactions were complex as they required valuation of the conversion feature in the debt instrument, which involved estimation of the fair value of the debt instrument absent of any conversion feature, and evaluation of the appropriate classification of the conversion feature in the financial statements.
 


Our audit procedures included the following:
We obtained an understanding of the internal controls and processes in place over management’s valuation assessments.
We obtained and read the underlying convertible note agreements.
We evaluated the Company’s selection of the valuation methodology and significant assumptions used by the Company, and evaluated the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the significant assumptions. Specifically, when assessing the key assumptions, we evaluated the appropriateness of the Company’s estimates of its credit risk, volatility, dividend yield, and the market risk free rate for stock compensation.
We evaluated the Company’s selection of the valuation methodology and significant assumptions used by the Company, and evaluated the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the significant assumptions over debt and equity transactions.
We tested a sample of convertible debt and equity transactions to ensure they are properly recorded in accordance with US GAAP.
We verified proper approval of equity transactions.
We tested management’s application of the relevant accounting guidance.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company had $2,197,079 in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020. As disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company derives revenue primarily from contracts with custom work for specific deliverables and multiple performance obligations.
Due to the nature of the Company’s contracts including multiple performance obligations, management exercises significant judgment in the following areas in determining appropriate revenue recognition:
Identification of the contract with the customer
Determination of which products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or combined
Determination of stand-alone selling prices for each performance obligation
Estimation of contract transaction price and allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations
The pattern of delivery for each distinct performance obligation
As a result, a high degree of auditor judgement was required in performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s judgments. Changes in these judgments can have a material effect on the
amount of revenue recognized on these contracts. Based on our knowledge of the Company, we determined the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over revenue, including the determination of the revenue streams over which those procedures were performed. Our audit procedures included the following for each revenue stream where procedures were performed:
Obtained an understanding of the internal controls and processes in place over the Company’s revenue recognition processes.
Analyzed the significant assumptions and estimates made by management as discussed above.
Assessed the recorded revenue by selecting a sample of transactions, analyzing the related contract, testing management’s identification of distinct performance obligations, and comparing the amounts recognized for consistency with underlying documentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 20172020 AND 20162019
 
1.1. SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND DESCRIPTION OF GOING CONCERN
  
Description of Business and Going Concern

MobileSmith, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) was incorporated as Smart Online, Inc. in the State of Delaware in 1993. The Company changed its name to MobileSmith, Inc. effective July 1, 2013.
The same year the Company develops solutions for the healthcare industryfocused exclusively on development of do-it-yourself customer facing platform that focus on improvements in delivery of healthcare by means of mobile technology.  The Company’s flagship product is the MobileSmith® Platform (the “Platform”). The Platform is an innovative hosted set of tools that enablesenabled organizations to rapidly create, deploy, and manage custom, native smartphone and tablet apps specific to healthcare industry deliverable across iOS and Android mobile platforms without writing a single line of code.  The Platform has applications in other industries and has been successfully deployed in retail and real estate operations.
These consolidated financial statements include accounts ofDuring 2017 the Company concluded that it had its highest rate of success with clients within the Healthcare industry and concentrated its wholly-owned subsidiary, which was created to explore the conceptdevelopment and sales and marketing efforts in that industry.  During 2018 we further refined our Healthcare offering and redefined our product - a suite of e-health mobile solutions that consist of a consumer targetedcatalog of ready to deploy mobile app development platform.  From time to time, the Company may create additional wholly-owned subsidiaries in order to test various new services assolutions (App Blueprints) and support services.  In 2019 and 2020 we consolidated our  current solutions under a partsingle offering branded Peri™. Peri™ is a cloud-based collection of  its research and development process.  This subsidiary did not have material activity in 2016 or 2017.applications that run of our architected healthcare technology ecosystem.  The architecture is designed to:
 
The Company’s principal products and services include:
Subscription to its Software as a Service (“SaaS”) cloud based mobile app development platform to customersimprove experience of healthcare patients and consumers, who designare often at the same time members of various medical insurance networks
optimize delivery of healthcare and build their own apps;relationship between members and insurance networks
increase adoption, utilization and intelligence of EMRs (electronic medical records), extend EMR's usability to patients and consumers of healthcareManaged services for customPeri™ is designed to bridge the gap between healthcare industry system tools and healthcare consumer's mobile application design, development and implementation;device.
Mobile application marketing services; and
Mobile strategy implementation consulting.
 
Our flagship PeriOp offering is an EMR integrated mobile app based set of  pre and postoperative instructions (which we refer to as Clinical Pathways), that establishes a direct two-way clinical procedure management process between a patient and a healthcare provider and by doing so improves patient engagement and procedural adherence.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the years ended December 31, 20172020 and 2016,2019, the Company incurred net losses, as well as negative cash flows from operations, and at December 31, 20172020 and 2016,2019, had deficiencies in working capital. These factors indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company’s continuation as a going concern depends upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitable operations and positive cash flows. Since November 2007, the Company has been funding its operations, in part, from the proceeds of the issuance of notes under a convertible secured subordinated note purchase agreement facility which was established in 2007 as well as,(the "2007 NPA"), an unsecured convertible subordinated note purchase agreement facility established in 2014. As of2014 (the "2014 NPA") and subordinated promissory notes to related parties.  In December 31, 2017,2020 and January 2021 the Company had $38,280,000exchanged all of face value outstanding under these facilitiesits non-bank debt for Series A Convertible Preferred stock and the Company is entitled to sell to the investors additional notes under these facilities in an amount not exceeding $27,820,000 , when requested to by the Company, subject to the terms and conditions specified in these facilities. There can be no assurance that the Company will in fact be able to raise additional capital through these facilities or even from other sources on commercially acceptable terms or at all.

The Notes underterminated both 2007 and 2014 NPA matureNPAs.
The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,750,000 in NovemberSeries A Convertible Preferred stock at a price of 2018 and the Comerica LSA matures in June of 2018.$42.9 per share.  The Company management is actively negotiating extensionexpects that Series A Convertible Preferred stock will remain it main source of maturityfunding in foreseeable future.

Based on the 2007 and 2014 NPAs by at least two years and refinancing of Comerica LSA by extending its maturity.
above, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
 

 
2.SIGNIFICANT2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions in the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include the determination of performance obligations and the best estimateallocation of selling priceconsideration among performance obligations, and the determination of when the deliverables included in multiple-deliverableCompany has met the requirements to recognize revenue arrangements, deferral of certain revenues,related to the performance obligations, share-based compensation and allowance for accounts receivable, estimated useful lives of property and equipment, recoverability of capitalized software asset and other long lived assets.receivable.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
US GAAP requires disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Due to the short period of time to maturity, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable reported in the financial statements approximate the fair value.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents 
All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)("FDIC") covers $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits.

Revenue RecognitionRecognition: General Overview and Performance Obligations to Customers
The Company derives revenue primarily from contracts for subscription services charged to customers accessing the Platformsuite of e-health mobile solutions and, to a much lesser degree, professionalancillary services provided in connection with subscription services.
 
The Company recognizes revenues whenCompany’s contracts include the following criteria have been met:performance obligations:
 
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
delivery has occurred;
the fees are fixed or determinable; and
collection is considered reasonably assured.
Access to the content available on the App Blueprint Catalog, including hosting of the deployed apps;
 
Subscription Revenues
Subscription revenuesApp Build and Managed Services; and
Custom development work.
The majority of the Company’s contracts are recognized ratablyfor a subscription to a catalog of mobile App Blueprints, and hosting of the deployed apps and related services. Custom work for specific deliverables is documented in statements of work or separate contracts. 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 Blueprints, hosting of deployed apps and related services and are combined into a single performance obligation except for certain custom development work which is capable of being distinct. New statements of work and modifications of contracts are reviewed each reporting period and significant judgment is applied as to nature and characteristics of the new or modified performance obligations on a contract by contract basis.
Revenue Recognition: Transaction Price of the Contract and Satisfaction of Performance Obligations
The transaction price of the contract is an aggregate amount of consideration payable by customer for delivery of contracted services. The transaction price is impacted by the terms of a contracted agreement with the customer. Such terms range from one to three years.  The transaction price excludes  any marketing or sales discounts or  any future renewal periods, unless the renewal periods represent a material right given to customer to extend the agreement. The transaction price may include a significant financing component in instances where the Company offers discounts for accelerated payments on the long-term contracts.  Significant financing components are recorded in other assets and amortized as interest expense in the Company’s Statement of Operations over the contract term of the arrangement beginningcontract. 
The transaction price is predominantly allocated to a single performance obligation of access to the Blueprints, hosting and related services and, to a lesser degree, allocated between the access and other distinct performance obligations based on the date that our servicestand-alone selling price. The subscription revenue is made available tothen recognized over time over the customer. Amounts that have been invoicedterm of the contract, using the output method of time elapsed. Other performance obligations identified are recorded in revenue or deferred revenue, dependingevaluated based on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Software Revenue
Sale of software takes place when the Company sells perpetual license to the Platform through installation in a private cloud.  Revenue recognition begins when all elementsspecific terms of the agreement besides post-contract customer support, are delivered (including installation).  The software revenue isusually recognized ratably overat a point in time upon delivery of a specific documented output. Management believes that such chosen methods faithfully depict satisfaction of the periodCompany performance obligations and transfer of post-contract customer support in accordance with ASC 985-605.benefit to the customers.
 
Professional Services RevenuesThe full transaction price of the contract may be billed in its entirety or in agreed upon installments.  Billed transaction price in excess of revenue recognized results in the recording of a contract liability.  The unbilled portion of transaction price related to revenue earned represents contracted consideration receivable by the Company that was not yet billed. 
Professional services revenues consist
Incremental Costs of fees for professional services, which relate to developmentObtaining a Contract
The Company’s incremental costs of custom code or certain data integration connectors, mobile application marketing services, and mobile strategy implementation consulting. These revenuesobtaining a contract include sales commissions.  Sales commissions are recognized as other assets on the balance sheet for the contracts with a term exceeding 12 months. These costs are amortized through the term of the contract and are recorded as sales and marketing expense.
Contract Liabilities
A new contract liability is created every time the Company records receivables due from its customers. The contract liability represents the Company’s obligation to transfer services are rendered for time and material contracts and whenwhich the milestones are achieved and accepted byCompany has already invoiced.  Most of the customer for fixed-fee contracts.  Deliverycontract liabilities will be recognized in revenue over a period of such revenue may be outsourced12 to 36 months.
Customer Credit Risk
Most of the Company's trusted vendors, depending on our internal capacity to deliver such services.
receivables (billings) are collected within 30-45 days.  The majority of the Company's customers are healthcare organizations, which historically have had low credit risk. 
 

Multiple-Element Arrangements
The Company evaluates each element in a multiple-element arrangement to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting. In order to account for deliverables in a multiple-deliverable arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have standalone value upon delivery.
In determining whether professional service revenues have standalone value, the Company considers availability of professional services from other vendors, the nature of the Company’s professional services, and whether the Company sells professional services to customers without the subscription.
When multiple deliverables are included in an arrangement are separable into different units of accounting, the arrangement consideration is allocated to the identified separate units of accounting based on their relative selling price. Multiple-deliverable arrangements accounting guidance provides a hierarchy to use when determining the relative selling price for each unit of accounting.
Vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of selling price, based on the price at which the item is regularly sold by the vendor on a standalone basis, should be used if it exists.
If VSOE of selling price is not available, third-party evidence (“TPE”) of selling price is used to establish the selling price if it exists. If VSOE of selling price and TPE of selling price are not available, then the best estimate of selling price (“BESP”) is to be used. VSOE and TPE do not currently exist for any of the Company’s deliverables. Accordingly, the Company uses its BESP to determine the relative selling price.
The Company determines its BESP for its deliverables based on its overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and entity-specific factors. The Company evaluates its BESP by reviewing historical data related to sales of its deliverables. Total consideration under the contract is allocated to each of the separate units of accounting through application of the relative selling price method.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of billings or payments received prior to the date when revenue is recognized.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues includes salaries of customer support teams, costs of infrastructure, that supports the Platform, expenses for outsourced work to fulfill the contracted work, and amortization charges for the Platform.capitalized software.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability or failure of its customers to make required payments. The need for an allowance for doubtful accounts is evaluated based on specifically identified amounts that management believes to be potentially uncollectible. If actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required.
 

Property and Equipment
The Company records property and equipment at cost and provides for depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives by asset classification are as follows:
Computer hardware and office equipment5 years
Computer software5 years
Furniture and fixtures5 years
Leasehold improvementsShorter of the estimated useful life or the lease term
Software Development Costs
The Company capitalized certain costs of development and subsequent enhancement of the Platform through the middle of 2013. The Company started capitalizing software development costs when technological feasibility of the Platform or its enhancements had been established. The Company expensed costs associated with preliminary project stage and research activities. The Company’s policy provided for the capitalization of certain payroll, benefits, and other payroll-related costs for employees who were directly associated with development.
During 2012, the Platform was substantially completed. During 2013, the Company’s development efforts became more driven by market requirements and rapidly changing customers’ needs. As a result, the Company’s development team adopted the Agile iterative approach to software development. Due to Agile’s short development cycles and focus on rapid production, the Company ceased capitalizing software development costs mid-way through 2013 as the documentation produced under the Agile method did not meet requirements necessary to establish technological feasibility. No development costs were capitalized in 2016 or 2017 and the Company does not expect to capitalize substantial development costs in the future.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of the perpetual license for critical Platform software, costs associated with the Company’s patent filings and other acquired intangible assets. The Company also owns several copyrights and trademarks related to products, names, and logos used throughout its non-acquired product lines.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets every reporting period or whenever events and circumstances indicate that the value may be impaired.

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs consist primarily of industry related tradeshows and marketing campaigns. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, or the first time the advertising takes place, applied consistently based on the nature of the advertising activity. The amounts related to advertising during 2017 and 2016 were $268,133 and $382,932, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation
The Company measures share-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The requisite service period is generally three years. The compensation cost is recognized net of estimated forfeiture activity.
The fair value of option grants under the Company’s equity compensation plan during the yearyears ended December 31, 2017 was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions :
Dividend yield0.00%
Expected volatility102.80%
Risk-free interest rate1.90%
Expected lives (years)7.0
2020 and 2019 were $248,261 and $234,203, respectively.
  
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods. Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Convertible Subordinated Promissory Notes (the “Notes”), conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of share-based awards are excluded from the calculation of the weighted average number, because the effect of the conversion and exercise would be anti-dilutive.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company evaluates new significant accounting pronouncements at each reporting period. For the year ended December 31, 2017,2020, the Company did not adoptidentify any new pronouncement that had or is expected to have a material effect on the Company’s presentation of its consolidated financial statements.
 


In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-9 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted.   Originally the Company planned to adopt the standard early.  During the current period the Company concluded that costs of early adoption outweighed the anticipated benefits during the year and adopted the standard effective January 1, 2018, in compliance with the issued standards.  The Company selected a modified retrospective approach at the time of adoption, at which time cumulative effect of initially adopting the standard will be recognized in retained earnings as of the date of adoption and additional footnote disclosures will be included in the financial statements.  Prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted.3. DEBT
 
The Company used a comprehensive approach to assessCompany's debt had been significantly impacted by the impactfollowing transactions that took place in 2020:
April 30, 2020 extension of maturity of non-bank debt through November 14, 2022 (the "April 2020 Debt Modification")
May 6, 2020 exchange of $4,063,250 in related party subordinated promissory notes for the notes issued under the  December 11, 2014  unsecured Convertible Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement, as amended (the “2014 NPA”) (the "May 2020 Note Exchange")
Debt exchange of all non-bank debt for equity that was completed on two different dates:  most of the guidance the contract portfolio.  The review is now substantially completedebt was exchanged on December 23, 2020 (the "December 2020 Debt Exchange") and the Company expects to record a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit upon adoption of the new revenue standard as of January 1, 2018.  The cumulative adjustment will decrease Company's accumulated deficit by approximately $70,000.   The cumulative adjustment is related to incremental upfront contract acquisition cost (such as sales commissions on contracts with a term of longer than 12 months) and financing component of transaction price (a discount givenremaining debt was exchanged subsequent to the customer to accelerate paymentsyear end on long term contracts).   New standard requires contract acquisition costs to be capitalized and amortized over estimated life of the asset; under current guidance these costs are expenses when incurred.  In regard to financing component of transaction price, the new standard requires to account for such costs seperately as interest expense.  Currently, the revenue is reported net of financing discounts.January 28, 2021 (the "January 2021 Exchange")
 
The Company has identified that adoption of Topic 606 will not have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
The FASB's new leases standard ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) was issued on February 25, 2016. ASU 2016-02 is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The ASU affects all companies and other organizations that lease assets such as real estate, airplanes, and manufacturing equipment. The ASU will require organizations that lease assets, referred to as "Lessees", to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. An organization is to provide disclosures designed to enable users of financial statements to understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements concerning additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP, which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the new ASU will require both types of leases (i.e. operating and capital) to be recognized on the balance sheet. The FASB lessee accounting model will continue to account for both types of leases. The capital lease will be accounted for in substantially the same manner as capital leases are accounted for under existing GAAP. The operating lease will be accounted for in a manner similar to operating leases under existing GAAP, except that lessees will recognize a lease liability and a lease asset for all of those leases.

Public companies will be required to adopt the new leasing standard for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption will be permitted for all companies and organizations upon issuance of the standard. For calendar year-end public companies, this means an adoption date of January 1, 2019 and retrospective application to previously issued annual and interim financial statements for 2018 and 2017. See Notes 5 and 6 for the Company's current lease commitments. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that this new leasing ASU will have on its financial statements.
On November 17, 2016 FASB issued ASU 2016-18, which the Company will adopt effective January 1, 2018.   This ASU may impact the way restricted cash is presented on the statement of cash flows.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell 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 orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prescribed by the accounting literature contains three levels as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimations.

Legal Proceedings
 
From time to time, the Company may be subject to routine litigation, claims or disputes in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously in all such matters. In the opinion of management, no pending or known threatened claims, actions or proceedings against the Company are expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome or effect of any such litigation or investigatory matters or any other pending litigations or claims. There can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any such lawsuits and investigations. The Company will record a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  The Company periodically evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that it has previously accrued, if any, and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both the likelihood of there being, and the estimated amount of, a loss related to such matters, and the Company’s judgment may be incorrect. The outcome of any proceeding is not determinable in advance. Until the final resolution of any such matters that the Company may be required to accrue for, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued, and such amounts could be material.

The Board of Directors is authorized, without further stockholder approval, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions applicable to such shares, including dividend rights, conversion rights, terms of redemption, and liquidation preferences, and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designations of such series. There were no shares of preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2017 and 2016.
 
Equity Compensation PlansOn December 10, 2020 the Board of Directors authorized to designate 1,750,000 of 5,000,000 as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with the following terms:
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.001 per share and a stated value equal to $42.90 (the “Stated Value”)
Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive an annual dividend equal to $3.43, subject to proration related to the timing of issuance.  Such dividend is designed to have an effective yield of 8%on invested stated value;
Each dividend shall be paid either in shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“Payment-in-Kind”) or in cash, at the option of the Corporation, on the respective Dividend Date;
The Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights with respect to any matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the Corporation;
The Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have certain Board observation and inspection rights administered through a designated Agent;
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time, at the option of the Holder into 30 shares of Common Stock, which results in conversion ratio of $1.43 of stated value of Series A Preferred Stock into one share of common stock (the "Series A Preferred Conversion Price");
The shares are subject to automatic conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in a Certificate of Designation.  A Fundamental Transaction includes, but is not limited to, a sale, merger or similar change in ownership.  
On December 23, 2020 the Company issued 1,158,141 of Series A Convertible Preferred shares in the December 2020 Debt Exchange transaction (refer to "Debt" footnote for more detail on the transaction).  The December 2020 Debt Exchange resulted in a debt extinguishment treatment and the Series A Convertible Preferred was recorded at its fair value of $103,299,344.  On the date of the December 2020 Debt Exchange the market value of the common stock was above the Series A Preferred Conversion Price of $1.43, which resulted in the conversion feature that was beneficial to the holder on the date of the exchange.  The resulting beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a discount and amortized in its entirety as a deemed dividend on the date of the December 2020 Debt Exchange and charged to loss attributable to common shareholders on the Company's Statement of Operations in the amount of $37,176,330.  
 
2004 Equity Compensation PlanDuring the period ended December 31, 2020 the Company issued 8,156 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred in exchange of 350,000 in cash funding.  The shares were issued with a beneficial conversions feature discount and resulted in a deemed dividend with charge to loss attributable to common shareholders of $261,850.

The Company measures share-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The requisite service period is generally three years.  The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The Company uses the simplified method allowed by SAB 107 for estimating expected term of the options in calculating the fair value of the awards that have a term of more than 7 years because the Company does not have reliable historical data on exercise of its options.  The simplified method was used for options granted in 2020 and 2019.
The fair value of option grants under the Company’s equity compensation plan during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was estimated using Black-Scholes pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions :

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We are required to provide financial statement users with information about assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements regarding (1) the valuation techniques and inputs used to develop fair value measurements, including the related judgments and assumptions made, (2) the uncertainty in the fair value measurements as of the reporting date, and (3) how changes in the measurements impact the performance and cash flows of the entity.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell 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 orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prescribed by the accounting literature contains three levels as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimations.

The 2020 May 2020 Note Exchange and the December 2020 Debt Exchange resulted in transactions which required the Company to recognize debt extinguishments in both instances and to record newly issued financing instruments at fair value at the dates of the transactions on a non-recurring basis.  Fair value measurements in both transactions were categorized as Level 3 fair value measurements due to use of various unobservable inputs to the pricing models.  A single most significant factor included in pricing models was the Level 1 input of observable market value of MobileSmith common stock on the date of the transactions, as quoted on the OTCQB.  Despite the thinly traded nature of the Company stock, the quoted market value could not be ignored in determination of fair value in the transactions.
Fair value measurements in the May 2020 Note Exchange transaction (refer to "Debt" footnote for the description of the transaction)
The Company used a binomial model to determine the fair value of the newly issued instrument. 
The significant unobservable inputs and information used to develop those inputs include the following:
the volatility of stock price was determined to be 86% and was based on the volatility of the Company’s stock price as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) for the period of 2.5 years, which approximated the period remaining until maturity of the convertible instrument at the time of the transaction;
the risk free rate of .24%;
the credit spread over the risk free rate of approximately 8%;
the nodes of the binomial model were extended for two and a half years, which approximates the time period until maturity of the convertible instrument; and
the conversion ratio of $1.43 per share of common stock

Fair value measurements in December 2020 Debt Exchange transaction (refer to "Stockholder's deficit" footnote for the description of the transaction)
The Company used income approach to arrive at the fair value of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock on December 23, 2020 - the date of the exchange.  Using this approach the value of Series A Convertible Preferred holding is equal to the present value of the cash flow streams that can be expected to be generated by the holder in a combination of dividends and conversion of preferred shares into common and subsequent sale of the common shares.   The Company used Monte Carlo model to simulate future movement of our common stock and discounted the results back to December 23, 2020 transaction date.  The model used the following notable inputs:
the market price of the Company common stock on December 23, 2020 of $2.50 as a starting point of simulation
the risk free rate and discount rate of 1.23%;
volatility of 80%;
term of simulation extended to 15 years;
the model also considered the probability of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock certificate of designation) and probabilities of payment of dividend in cash or in additional preferred shares.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we believe that the fair value of our financial instruments other than cash and cash equivalents, such as, accounts receivable, our bank loan, notes payable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts. 
 

 
8. INCOME TAXES
7. INCOME TAXES
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with the requirements of US GAAP. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of “temporary differences” by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.
 
U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. On December 22, 2017, U.S. tax legislation known as the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”) was enacted. For corporations, the TCJA amends existing U.S. Internal Revenue Code by reducing the corporate income tax rate and modifying several business deduction and international tax provisions. Specifically, the corporate income tax rate was reduced to 21% from 34%, which resulted in revaluation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities and adjustment to the corresponding valuation allowance.  Other changes that may have significant future impact on the Company's financial position relates to net operating losses, which going forward will have an unlimited carryforward period (previously 20 years) and no carryback period (previously 2 years), but deductions for such losses are limited to 80% of taxable income (previously 100% of taxable income) beginning with the 2018 tax year.

Not applicable.
 
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2017,2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
 
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
(i)pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
  
(ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
  
(iii)provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
 
In making the assessment of adequate internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that assessment and those criteria, management believes that our internal control over financial reporting waswere effective as of December 31, 2017.2020. 
 
During our fourth quarter ended December 31, 2017,2020, there were no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or stockholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.

The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock option grant are set forth in Note 2 (Significant Accounting Policies) to our financial statements, which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The grant-date fair value does not necessarily reflect the value of shares which may be received in the future with respect to these awards.
