NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1

BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS


Forian Inc. (the “Company” or “Forian”), was incorporated in Delaware on October 15, 2020 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC (“MOR”) for the purpose of effecting the Business Combination (as defined below). All activity of the Company through March 2, 2021 relates only to MOR. MOR was established on May 6, 2019 in Delaware. MOR Analytics, LLC and COR Analytics, LLC are wholly owned subsidiaries of MOR. The Company provides innovative software solutions, proprietary data and predictive analytics to optimize the operational, clinical and financial performance of its customers within the healthcare and cannabis industries. The Company’s mission is to provide its customers with the best-in-class critical technology services through a single integrated platform that enables its customers to operate their businesses more safely, efficiently and profitably and to serve its customers and its customers’ stakeholders and constituencies more comprehensively. The Company represents the unique convergence of proprietary healthcare and consumer data, innovative data management capabilities and intelligent data science with a leading cannabis technology platform yielding the combined power to drive innovation and transparency across the industries it serves.


On March 2, 2021 (the “Merger Closing Date”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 16, 2020, as amended by Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 30, 2020, as further amended by Amendment No. 2 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 9, 2021 (together, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Helix Technologies, Inc. (“Helix”), the Company and DNA Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into Helix, with Helix being the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Each share of Helix common stock was exchanged for 0.05 shares of Company common stock in the Merger. Helix provides trackingtraceability and point of sale technology, analytics solutions and other products to customers within each vertical of the cannabis industry to help them improve the performance of their business.


Immediately prior to the Merger Closing Date, pursuant to the Equity Interest Contribution Agreement, dated March 2, 2021 (the “Contribution Agreement”), by and among the Company, MOR and each equity holder of MOR, such equity holders contributed their interests in MOR to the Company in exchange for shares of Company common stock (the “Contribution” and, together with the Merger, the “Business Combination”). Upon the closing of the Contribution, MOR became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Each unit of MOR was exchanged for 1.7776 shares of Company common stock in the Merger, subject to adjustments pursuant to the Contribution Agreement.


Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, while the Company is the legal acquirer, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations”Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). As such, MOR is deemed to be the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes.


Note 2BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Principles of Consolidation


The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of (i) Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries COR Analytics, LLC and MOR Analytics, LLC, and (ii) Helix Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Helix TCS, LLC, Security Consultants Group, LLC, Boss Security Solutions, LLC, Security Grade Protective Services, Ltd., Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc, BT UCS, Inc., Engeni LLC (including Engeni S.A., which is 99% owned by Engeni LLC) and, Green Tree International, Inc. and AIE Exchange Canada, Inc. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial results of Helix and its subsidiaries are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements only forbeginning on March 2, 2021, the 29-day period ended March 31, 2021.Merger Closing Date.


Use of Estimates


Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses together with amounts disclosed in related notes to the financial statements. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is possible that the external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.



Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)ASC 820, “FairFair Value Measurements and Disclosures”Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.


ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;


Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable; and

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable.


The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable and accrued liabilities and other liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.


Cash and Cash Equivalents and Credit Risk


The Company considers all cash accounts that are not subject to withdrawal restrictions and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, as cash and cash equivalents.


The Company maintains cash with major financial institutions. Cash held at U.S. bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. The portion of deposits in excess of FDIC coverage is not protected by such insurance and represents a credit risk to the Company. At times, the Company’s deposits exceed this coverage.


Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts


Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.


Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $280,176$269,325 and $0 at March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.


Management charges account balances against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.


Long-Lived Assets, Including Definite Lived Intangible Assets


Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows derived from such assets. Definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships, software technology and trade names. For long-lived assets used in operations, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted, probability-weighted future cash flows. The Company measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value. When an impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value.

Goodwill


Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. The Company reviews goodwill for possible impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.


The impairment model prescribes a two-step method for determining goodwill impairment. However, an entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the two-step goodwill impairment test is necessary.


The qualitative factors considered by Forian may include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, the Company’s outlook, market performance of the Company’s industry and recent and forecasted financial performance. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. In the first step, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company then performs the second step of the impairment test, which requires allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities using the acquisition method prescribed under authoritative guidance for business combinations with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. An impairment charge is recognized when the implied fair value of the Company’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount. NoNaN impairment losses have been recognized during the periods presented.


Business Combinations


The Company accounts for its business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)ASC Topic 805-10, Business Combinations (“ASC 805-10”), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred. If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, the Company records the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date and any changes in fair value after the acquisition date are accounted for as measurement-period adjustments. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration resulting from events after the acquisition date, such as earn-outs, are recognized as follows: 1) if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, the contingent consideration is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity, or 2) if the contingent consideration is classified as a liability, the changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.


Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).


Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. ASC 606-10-32-32 requires the determination of the price at which the Company would sell individual products or services to a customer. The Company does not always have sufficient data or experience related to the terms and pricing for products and services when components are sold on a standalone basis. In instances where insufficient data exists, the Company recognizes the contractual fees ratably over the term of the arrangement. In instances where a customer has limited operating history or the customer has recently been formed, management may determine that it is prudent to recognize only the first year’s fees ratably over the first year of the term, more often than not resulting in the recognition of a lower amount of revenue during the first year. Performance obligations that are distinct and remain undelivered would not be recognized until the end of the contract provided that the consideration is guaranteed. No significant judgements affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue.


The Company generates revenue from three3 categories of product offerings: Information and Software, Services and Other.


In 2020, the revenue generated by the Company was exclusively from Information and Software relating to MOR. In 2021, the Company also began to recognize Information and Software, Services and Other revenues related to its acquisition of Helix on March 2, 2021.


In most Information and Software contracts, payments are scheduled throughout the term and the contract may include one or more of the following performance obligations: (i) the provision of historical and/or current information as agreed upon, (ii) access to the information through a hosting provider, (iii) access to and use of software products (iv) installation and training and (v) access to the Company’s analytical team throughout the term of the agreement, as agreed upon.


Information and Software contracts do not always have distinct pricing assigned to each performance obligation; rather, the price is bundled and the total bundled pricing is invoiced throughout the term of the agreement, with the exception of contracts for software products which provide separate pricing for implementation and training of such products.


The Company recognizes revenue resulting from Information and Software pursuant to agreements under which the Company receives payments for providing the customer access to its products over the contract period. The Company satisfies its performance obligations throughout the term of the contract. Any payments received prior to satisfying performance obligations are deferred and recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied. There are no variable considerations or financing component under such contracts. Prices are typically fixed, but certain contracts can also include royalties in excess of fixed fees. There were $62,500 of royalties in excess of fixed fees for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021. Invoicing under contracts is set forth in an invoicing schedule as part of the contract and payments are typically due within 30 days.


Services Revenuerevenues are primarily from contracts with government agencies and revenue is recognized upon completion of the various milestones within the contract. In the event that a contract does not specifically allocate revenue to the satisfaction of specific performance obligations or milestones, the purchase price of the contracts is allocated based on the percentage of time spent, or expected to be spent, to meet each performance obligation. Initial customization of the software to meet state specific requirements and the training to appropriately utilize the software are generally recognized upon completion of the customization and acceptance by the state agency. Support and service revenues are then recognized over a predetermined period of time as defined in the contract. Contract renewals may include an annual service fee that is recognized over the time period defined in the contract.


Other revenues are primarily from security monitoring services offerings and the provision of web marketing services. Contracts for these services have a stated transaction price for monthly services and are recognized as the services are provided.


Contract acquisition costs, which consist of sales commissions paid or payable, isare considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions for initial and renewal contracts are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. $8,298$8,162 and $53,784 of such costs were capitalized as of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. There are no significant judgements affecting the determination of the amount and timing of the related revenue.

In the event the Company has not satisfied all performance obligations on its contracts with customers, any amounts of unbilled revenue or excess costs are recorded as contract assets and contract liabilities.


Contract assets result when the cumulative revenue recognized exceeds the cumulative invoicing under a contract. The value of the differential is reflected in Contract assets and represents the value of the revenue that was not billed to customers as of the balance sheet date.


Contract liabilities (“Deferred Revenue”) result when cumulative receipts under a contract for the same performance obligation exceeds the total revenue recognition and such excess is reflected in Deferred Revenue and represents the value of the performance obligations to be satisfied after March 31,June 30, 2021.


The following are the contract balances as of and for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021:

Segment Information

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic
ASC 280, Segment Reporting(“ASC 280”), establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer, who reviews the financial performance and the results of operations of the segments prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company.


Customer Concentration


ForThe Company did 0t have any customers that exceeded 10% of total revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, theJune 30, 2021. The Company had a single customer that accounted for $237,50046% and 48% of total revenue which represented 15% of revenues generated from customer sales.for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company believes that this customer is ultimately replaceable, and any disruption associated with this customer would only have a short-term impact on the business. The contract assets balance for this customer at March 31, 2021 was $125,000.


Concentration of Vendors


The Company has licensed certain information assets from a third party as a key input to certain of the Company’s Information and Software Products. Licensing fees to this vendor represented 29% and 43%less than 10% of the Company’s operating expenses for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. This vendor is critical to the business. The Company believes that while this vendor is ultimately replaceable, any disruption associated with this vendor could have a material short-term impact on the business.


Property and Equipment, Net


Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, which is recorded commencing at the in-service date using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to charge the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, which are 31 to 7 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.


The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets annually and whenever events and or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying value. There were no0 impairment losses recognized during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020.2020, respectively.


Software Development Costs


The Company accounts for costs incurred in the development of computer software in accordance with ASC Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software.Software. Costs incurred in the application development stage are subject to capitalization and subsequent amortization and possible impairment. Application development stage costs were not material for the Company. Product development costs are primarily personnel related to activities for design and evaluating software development, testing, bug fixes, and other maintenance activities. Product development costs are expensed as incurred. The companyCompany capitalized software development costs of $50,228$266,410 and $0, respectively, for the three months ended March 31,as of June 30, 2021 and 2020.December 31, 2020, respectively.


Contingencies


Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.


Advertising


Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expenses and amounted to $4,935$16,063 and $20,998 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $0 and $0 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 andJune 30, 2020, respectively.


Foreign Currency


The local currency is the functional currency for one entity’s operations outside the United States. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the end of each period. Income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net loss for the period.


Net Loss per Share


Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. At March 31,June 30, 2021, the Company had potentially dilutive securities that could be exercised or converted into common stock. Refer to Note 13 for the Company’s disclosure on such potential dilution. Further, as the Company has incurred net losses for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.


Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity


The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from EquityEquity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company will determine the liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares.


Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet (“temporary equity”). The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity.


Initial Measurement


The Company records its financial instruments classified as liability, temporary equity or permanent equity at issuance at the fair value, or cash received.


Subsequent Measurement – Financial instruments classified as liabilities


The Company records the fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities at each subsequent measurement date. The changes in fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities are recorded as other expense/income.

Stock-based Compensation


The Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan”) permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock awards and/or restricted stock units. A total of 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan. Stock options represent the right to purchase the Company’s common stock at the exercise price on the date of grant of the stock option at a future date. Restricted stock awards are grants of shares of our common stock. Restricted stock units represent the right to receive shares of our common stock on future specified dates. Stock options, restricted stock awards and units granted contain restrictions that cause them to be subject to substantial risk of forfeiture and restrict their exercise, sale or other transfer by the grantee until they vest. The terms of the stock options, restricted stock awards and units granted under the 2020 Plan are determined by the Board of Directors in the agreement evidencing the award, including the number of shares, period of restriction or vesting schedule and other terms. The fair value of the stock options, restricted stock awards and units is based on the underlying grant date fair value of the Company’s common stock. The fair value is then expensed over the requisite service periods of the awards, net of forfeitures, which is generally the service period and the related amount is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.


Income Taxes


MOR was organized as an LLCa limited liability company and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company upon completion of the Merger with Helix on March 2, 2021. As a result, the Company was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes through March 2, 2021. Accordingly, the Company’s taxable income, deductions, assets and liabilities are reported by the members on their respective income tax returns. Therefore, no0 provision for federal or state income tax has been made by the Company for all business activity from its inception through March 2, 2021.


After March 2, 2021, the Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has an incurred net operating loss for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the period since March 2, 2021.


Tax contingencies are recorded, if needed, to address potential exposure involving tax positions the Company has taken that could be challenged by tax authorities. These potential exposures could result from applications of various statutes, rules, regulations and interpretations. Any estimates of tax contingencies contain assumptions and judgments about potential actions by taxing jurisdictions. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions would be included as part of the income tax provision. The Company’s conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analysis of or changes in tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof as well as other factors.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


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

The Notes had no interest rate and were due on the sooner of the initial closing of MOR’s Series S Preferred Unit financing or December 31, 2020. In March 2020, in connection with MOR’s Series S Preferred Unit financing, the aggregate outstanding balance of the Notes of $184,300, was converted, at the option of the holders, into 295,501 shares of Company common stock.

Note 15COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Operating Leases


The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842. All contracts are evaluated to determine whether or not they represent a lease. A lease conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company has operating leases primarily consisting of facilities with remaining lease terms of one year to five years. The lease term represents the period up to the early termination date unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will not exercise the early termination option. Certain leases include rental payments that are adjusted periodically based on changes in consumer price and other indices.


Leases are classified as finance or operating in accordance with the guidance in ASC 842. The Company does not hold any finance leases.


The Company is obligated under operating lease agreements for office facilities in (i) Florida (two)(2), (ii) Washington, (iii) Colorado and (iv) Argentina that expire in (i) December 2021 and 2024, (ii) December 2022, (iii) February 2026 and (iv) December 2021, respectively. The Company also has three3 short-term leases related to offices in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Virginia. These short-term leases are currently leased on a month-to-month basis. A short-term lease is a lease with a term of 12 months or less and does not include the option to purchase the underlying asset that we would expect to exercise. The Company has elected to adopt the short-term lease exemption in ASC 842 and as such have not recognized a “right of use” asset or lease liability for these three3 short-term leases.


The Company’s lease agreements generally do not provide an implicit borrowing rate, therefore an internal incremental borrowing rate is determined based on information available at lease commencement date for purposes of determining the present value of lease payments.

SEGMENT RESULTS


ASC 280-10-50 requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach is based on the way a company’s management organized segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.


Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision-making group is composed of the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer. The Company operates in three3 segments, Information & Software, Services and Other.


Asset information by operating segment is not presented below since the chief operating decision maker does not review this information by segment. The reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.


The following represents selected information for the Company’s reportable segments:

Overview


The Company was initially incorporated in Delaware on October 15, 2020 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC (“MOR”), which was founded in Delaware on May 6, 2019, in connection with the Business Combination described below. On October 16, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Helix Technologies, Inc. (“Helix”) and MOR, pursuant to which DNA Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), merged with and into Helix, with Helix surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). On March 2, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with the equity holders of MOR, pursuant to which the equity holders of MOR contributed their interests in MOR to the Company in exchange for shares of Company common stock (the “Contribution” and together with the Merger, the “Business Combination”). Following consummation of the Business Combination on March 2, 2021, the Company became the parent company of both Helix and MOR. Helix provides traceability and point of sale technology, analytics solutions and other products to customers within each vertical of the cannabis industry to help them improve the performance of their business.


The Company provides innovative software solutions, proprietary data and predictive analytics to optimize the operational and financial performance of our customers. Given ourthe prior experience of our management team, our initial focus is on stakeholders within the healthcare and cannabis industries. However, we believe the application of our offerings across other verticals to enhance the transparency and efficacy of our customers’ relationships with their communities and customers is equally compelling.


The Company represents the unique convergence of proprietary healthcare, consumer and cannabis data, SaaS analytics, innovative data management capabilities and intelligent data science with a leading cannabis technology platform yielding the combined power to drive innovation and transparency across the industries we serve. In MOR, there was early recognition of the opportunity to bring the sophistication of proven data science technology and analytics solutions to a prominent cannabis technology platform provider, creating innovation in both the applications that are key to supporting customer success within the cannabis industry and to the data science powered insights that drive healthcare and other mature regulated growth industries. In Helix, there was realization that the capability set of a technology solutions provider within more evolved sectors together with the track record of the MOR management team offered a unique opportunity to enhance the value that Helix brings to its cannabis customers and to the industry generally.

The Company’s mission is to provide itsour customers with the best-in-class critical technology services through a single integrated Forian platform that enables itsour customers within the healthcare and cannabis industries to operate their businesses more safely, efficiently and profitably and to serve itsour customers and itsour customers’ stakeholders and constituencies more comprehensively.


A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in December 2019, and subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Our business has largely operated in a work-from-home environment since the inception of the pandemic and, as a result, has experienced limited business disruption to date. Our management team continues to focus on the highest level of safety measures to protect our employees. We have not experienced a material impact to our financial results to date, however, COVID-19 continues to present significant uncertainty in the future economic outlook for our customers and the markets we serve.


Financial Operations Overview


The following discussion sets forth certain components of our statements of operations as well as factors that impact those items.


Revenues


Revenues are derived from Information and Software Products, Services and Other Products. Information and Software revenues are generated from licensing fees for our proprietary information and software products. The Company recognizes revenues from Information and Software products as performance obligations under customer contracts are satisfied. Services revenues are primarily from contracts with government agencies and revenue is recognized upon completion of the various milestones within the contract. Other revenues are primarily from security monitoring services offerings and the provision of web marketing services. Contracts for these services have a stated transaction price for monthly services and are recognized as the services are provided.


Cost of Revenues


Cost of revenue is generated from direct costs associated with the delivery orof our Informationproducts and Software productsservices to our customers. The cost of revenue relates primarily to labor costs, hosting and infrastructure costs and client service team costs. We record the cost of direct fulfillment as cost of revenue. Infrastructure and licensed data costs, which are shared across all projects or groups of projects, are not charged to cost of revenue.


Research and Development


Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, subcontractor and third-party consulting fees, and hosted infrastructure costs. We continue to focus our research and development efforts on adding new features and applications to our product offerings. Once our prototypes are proven, we begin to capitalize costs that qualify with the associated development rather than recording those costs as research and development.


Sales and Marketing


Sales and marketing expense is primarily salaries and related expenses, including commissions, for our sales, marketing and product management staff. Marketing program costs are also recorded as sales and marketing expense including advertising, market research and events (such as trade shows, corporate communications, brand building, etc.). The Company plans to continue to invest in marketing and sales by expanding our selling and marketing staff, building brand awareness, attracting new clients and sponsoring additional marketing events. The timing of these marketing events will affect our marketing costs in any particular quarter.

General and Administrative Expenses


General and administrative expenses include salaries and benefits and other costs of departments serving administrative functions, such as executives, finance and accounting and human resources. In addition, general and administrative expense includes non-personnel costs, such as professional fees, legal fees, accounting and finance advisory fees and other supporting corporate expenses not allocated to cost of revenue, product and development or sales and marketing.


Depreciation and Amortization Expenses


Depreciation and Amortization relate to long lived assets used in our business. Depreciation expense relates primarily to furniture and equipment, computers and vehicles. Amortization expense relates primarily to Identifiable Intangiblesidentifiable intangibles of acquired companies.


Transaction Related Expenses


Transaction related expenses relate to the acquisition of Helix on March 2, 2021 and include professional, legal, accounting and finance advisory fees and other direct expenses.


Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates


Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.principles (“U.S. GAAP”). We believe that several accounting policies are important to understanding our historical and future performance. We refer to these policies as critical because these specific areas generally require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time we make the estimate, and different estimates – which also would have been reasonable – could have been used. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures


In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have provided certaina non-GAAP measures,measure, which we define as financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure provided herein is earnings before interest, taxes, non-cash and other items (“Adjusted EBITDA”) presented on both a historical basis and a “pro forma” basis reflecting the acquisition of Helix as of the beginning of the periods presented. Adjusted EBITDA should be viewed as supplemental to, and not as an alternative for net income or loss calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP (referred to below as “Net loss”).


Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management as an additional measure of our Company’s performance for purposes of business decision-making, including developing budgets, managing expenditures and evaluating potential acquisitions or divestitures. Period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA help our management identify additional trends in our Company’s financial results that may not be shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of net income. In addition, we may use Adjusted EBITDA in the incentive compensation programs applicable to some of our employees in order to evaluate our Company’s performance. Our management recognizes that Adjusted EBITDA has inherent limitations because of the excluded items, particularly those items that are recurring in nature. In order to compensate for those limitations, management also reviews the specific items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, but included in net income, as well as trends in those items contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in their analysis of our results for reasons similar to the reasons why our management finds it useful and because it helps facilitate investor understanding of decisions made by management in light of the performance metrics used in making those decisions. In addition, as more fully described below, we believe that providing Adjusted EBITDA, together with a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, helps investors make comparisons between our company and other companies that may have different capital structures, different effective income tax rates and tax attributes, different capitalized asset values and/or different forms of employee compensation. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended as a substitute for comparisons based on net loss. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non-GAAP measures to evaluate their financial performance. Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measures and the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures provided by each company under applicable SEC rules.

The following is an explanation of the items excluded by us from Adjusted EBITDA but included in net loss:



Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is a non-cash expense relating to capital expenditures and intangible assets arising from acquisitions that are expensed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related assets. We exclude depreciation and amortization expense from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new acquisitions and full amortization of previously acquired tangible and intangible assets. Accordingly, we believe that this exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance. Investors should note that the use of tangible and intangible assets contributed to revenue in the periods presented and will contribute to future revenue generation and should also note that such expense will recur in future periods.


Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense arising from the grant of stock-based awards to employees. We believe that excluding the effect of stock-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons in our Company’s operating performance because (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing of grants of new stock-based awards, including grants in connection with acquisitions. Additionally, we believe that excluding stock-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors in making meaningful comparisons between our Company’s operating performance and the operating performance of other companies that may use different forms of employee compensation or different valuation methodologies for their stock-based compensation. Investors should note that stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees whose efforts contributed to the operating results in the periods presented and are expected to contribute to operating results in future periods. Investors should also note that such expenses will recur in the future.

We believe that excluding the effect of stock-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons in our Company’s operating performance because (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing of grants of new stock-based awards, including grants in connection with acquisitions.

Investors should note that stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees whose efforts contributed to the operating results in the periods presented and are expected to contribute to operating results in future periods. Investors should also note that such expenses will recur in the future.

Interest and Investment Income and Expense. Interest and investment income is associated with the level of marketable debt securities and other interest bearing accounts in which we invest, and interest expense is related to our debt assumed in our acquisition of Helix related to the financing certain of its fixed assets. Interest and investment income and expense can vary over time due to a variety of financing transactions, changes in interest rates, cash used to fund operations and capital expenditures and acquisitions that we have entered into or may enter into in the future. We exclude interest and investment income and expense from Adjusted EBITDA (i) because these items are not directly attributable to the performance of our business operations and, accordingly, their exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance and (ii) to assist management and investors in making comparisons to companies with different capital structures. Investors should note that interest income and expense will recur in future periods.

Other Items. We engage in other activities and transactions that can impact our net loss. In the periods being reported, these other items included, (i) change in fair value of warrant liability which related to warrants assumed in the acquisition of Helix; (ii) transaction related expenses which consist of professional fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of Helix; and (iii) other income which consists of profits on marketable security investments. We exclude these other items from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe these activities or transactions are not directly attributable to the performance of our business operations and, accordingly, their exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance. Investors should note that some of these other items may recur in future periods.

We exclude these other items from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe these activities or transactions are not directly attributable to the performance of our business operations and, accordingly, their exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance. Investors should note that some of these other items may recur in future periods.
Income tax expense. MOR was organized as a limited liability company until the completion of the Helix acquisition. As a result, we were treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes through March 2, 2021, and our taxable income and losses are reported by our members on their individual tax returns for such period. Therefore, we did not record any income tax expense or benefit through March 2, 2021. We expect to incur a net loss for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes for this year. Accordingly, any benefit for federal and state income taxes benefit has been entirely offset by a valuation allowance against the related deferred tax net assets. We exclude the income tax expense from Adjusted EBITDA (i) because we believe that the income tax expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of our business operations and, accordingly, its exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance and (ii) to assist management and investors in making comparisons to companies with different tax attributes.

Limitations on the use of Non-GAAP financial measures


There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures because non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures provided by other companies.


The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which items are adjusted to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a U.S. GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing U.S. GAAP measures in our public disclosures.


Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business and to view our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.


Item 4.Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (who is also the Company’sour principal executive officer), and our chief financial officer (who is also the Company’sour principal financial and accounting officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,June 30, 2021, which is the end of the three-month period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


The CompanyWe identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting as disclosed in Item 9A of the Company’sour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2020, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer therefore concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the fiscal quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2021 remain ineffective to the extent of the material weaknesses identified.


We are committed to remediating the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weaknesses, certain of which were the result of the evaluation of MOR as the financial successor to Helix for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2021. Our management is responsible for implementing changes and improvements to internal control over financial reporting and for remediating the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weaknesses we identified. With oversight from our Audit Committee, we have taken steps to remediate the internal control deficiencies and expect to implement further remediation actions during 2021 that we believe will improve our internal control over financial reporting. Certain improvements to our internal control over financial reporting occurred as a consequence of the Merger (e.g., additional finance resources and protocols employed by Helix), supplemented by the Company’sour engagement of outside firms to assist the Companyus with additional accounting expertise and with the review of our internal controls framework for the Company’sour compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, as amended. Until the remediation actions are fully implemented and the operational effectiveness of related internal controls is validated through testing, the material weaknesses noted above will continue to exist.


Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, the Company’sour management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has determined, based on the procedures we have performed, that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at March 31,June 30, 2021 and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Our remediation efforts for material weaknesses previously reported were ongoing during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, as described in Item 9A of our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2020, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021. There were no other material changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Part II — OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.
Legal Proceedings


From time to time we may be involved in claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can be costly and time consuming, and it can divert management’s attention from important business matters and initiatives, negatively impacting our overall operations. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not currently have any pending litigation to which we are a party or to which our property is subject that we believe to be material, except for:


Kenney, et al. v. Helix TCS, Inc.


On July 20, 2017, one former employee of Helix filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act on behalf of himself and other employees.

The Stockholder Complaints were filed against (a) Helix and (b) the members of Helix’s board of directors (the “Individual Defendants”) and the Baros Complaint was also filed against Forian, MOR and Merger Sub. The Stockholder Complaints generally allege that the defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, by, among other things, failing to disclose material information in the Proxy Statement regarding the sales process, reconciliation of certain financial projections regarding Helix certain inputs underlying Management Planning, Inc.’s financial analysis, and potential conflicts of interest of involving Helix’s insiders. The Stockholder Complaints also allege the Individual Defendants (and the Baros Complaint alleges Forian, Merger Sub and MOR) violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act as controlling persons who had the ability to prevent the Proxy Statement from being materially false and misleading. The Stockholder Complaints seek, among other things, an injunction against the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and an award of costs and expenses, including a reasonable allowance for attorneys’ and experts’ fees. Despite seeking an injunction in the complaints, none of the plaintiffs followed up with a motion to enjoin the transactions. On March 11, 2021, the Robinson Complaint was voluntarily dismissed. The remaining three complaints have not been served, and there has been no activity on any of them since the complaints were filed. We will vigorously defend the claims in the remaining pending Stockholder Complaints.
