Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Sellers sold, assigned, transferred, and delivered to InvictaBuyer the Assets (as defined in the Agreement) and InvictaBuyer paid aggregate consideration of $1,750,000 and assumed the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Agreement). The Assets included but were not limited to the right, title and interest in and to all assets and property, tangible and intangible, of every kind and description, used in, related to or necessary for the security guarding and protective guarding services business conducted by the Company.Sellers. The Agreement contained certain customary representations and warranties made by the parties. The Sellers and Helix agreed to various customary covenants, including, among others, covenants regarding non-competition, the use and disclosure of confidential information, and the non-solicitation of business relationships. As collateral for Sellers’ indemnification obligations, Buyer held back $600,000 of the consideration pursuant to the Agreement. See Subsequent Events (Note 20).Note 6 for additional details.


2.Going Concern Uncertainty, Financial Condition and Management’s Plans

 

The Company believes that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that its available cash balance as of the date of this filing will not be sufficient to fund its anticipated level of operations for at least the next 12 months. The Company believes that its ability to continue operations depends on its ability to sustain and grow revenue and results of operations as well as its ability to access capital markets when necessary to accomplish the Company’s strategic objectives. The Company believes that it will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. The Company expects to finance future cash needs from its results of operations and, depending on the results of operations, the Company may need additional equity or debt financing until it can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever. 

 

At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,400,761$1,340,470 as compared to a working capital deficit of $3,416,501 at December 31, 2019. The decrease of $2,015,740$2,076,031 in the Company’s working capital deficit from December 31, 2019 to JuneSeptember 30, 2020 was primarily the result of proceeds received from the sale of common stock, a reduction in accounts receivable, and non-cash decreases in the fair market value of the Company’s convertible notes and warrant liability.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) recognized COVID-19 as a global pandemic, prompting many national, regional, and local governments, including in the markets that the Company operates in, to implement preventative or protective measures, such as travel and business restrictions, wide-sweeping quarantines and stay-at-home orders. While the Company is actively working to successfully navigate the financial, operational, and personnel challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. government, state and local government officials, and international governments to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain, out of the Company’s control and cannot be predicted at this time.

 


The Company’s future capital requirements for its operations will depend on many factors, including the profitability of its businesses, the number and cash requirements of other acquisition candidates that the Company pursues, and the costs of operations. The Company has been investing in upgrading the capabilities of its software business. The Company’s management has taken several actions to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations for the next twelve months, including growing and diversifying its revenue streams, selectively reducing expenses, and considering additional funding. Additionally, if the Company’s actual revenues are less than forecasted, the Company anticipates that variable expenses will also decline, and the Company’s management can implement expense reduction as necessary. The Company is evaluating other measures to further improve its liquidity, including the sale of equity or debt securities. Lastly, the Company may elect to reduce certain related-party and third-party debt by converting such debt into common shares. The Company’s management believes that these actions will enable the Company to meet its liquidity requirements for the next twelve months. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in any capital-raising efforts that it may undertake to fund operations during 2020 and beyond.  

 

The Company plans to generate positive cash flow from BioTrackTHC to address some of the liquidity concerns. However, to execute the Company’s business plan, service existing indebtedness and implement its business strategy, the Company anticipates that it will need to obtain additional financing from time to time and may choose to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings, borrowings from affiliates or other arrangements. The Company cannot be sure that any additional funding, if needed, will be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all. Furthermore, any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities may dilute the Company’s current stockholders’ ownership and could also result in a decrease in the market price of the Company’s common stock. The terms of those securities issued by the Company in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors and may include the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect. The Company also may be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities it issues, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact the Company’s operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, any debt financing, if available, may subject the Company to restrictive covenants and significant interest costs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital, when needed, to continue operations in their current form.


3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation 

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which include Helix TCS, LLC (“Helix TCS”), Security Grade, BioTrackTHC (since June 1, 2018), Engeni US (since August 3, 2018), and Green Tree International, Inc. (since September 10, 2019). As of July 31, 2020, the date of the consummation of the sale of the Guarding segment, formerly owned subsidiaries Security Consultants Group, LLC (“Security Consultants”), Boss Security Solutions, Inc. (“Boss Security”), Security Grade, BioTrackTHC (since June 1, 2018), Engeni US (since August 3, 2018),and Tan Security (since April 1, 2019) and Green Tree International, Inc. (since September 10, 2019).are presented as part of discontinued operations. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. 

  

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Changes in estimates and assumptions are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known. Use of estimates includes the following: 1) allowance for doubtful accounts, 2) estimated useful lives of property, equipment and intangible assets, 3) intangibles impairment, 4) valuation of convertible notes payable and 5) revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from estimates.

 

Discontinued Operations

In the third quarter of 2020, the Company determined that the Security and Guarding segment met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation as a result of the combined sale of the assets of Security Consultants, Boss Security, and Tan Security. These businesses represented the majority of the Company’s Security and Guarding segment. 


As the combined sale of the Security and Guarding segment represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results, these businesses were presented in discontinued operations separate from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, as applicable.

Cash  

 

Cash consists of checking accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

 

From time to time, the Company’s cash balances may exceed FDIC-insured limits. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company’s cash balances exceeded FDIC-insured limits by approximately $967,000$1,078,000 and $120,000, respectively. The Company’s cash accounts have been placed with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company has not experienced, nor does it anticipate, any losses with respect to such accounts.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information; and determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.

 

Management charges balances off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company determines when receivables are past due, or delinquent based on how recently payments have been received.

 

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 $333,535$362,631 and $273,138 at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.


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 non-compete agreements and customer relationships. 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. Helix 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 Helix may include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, Helix’s outlook, market performance of Helix’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, Helix 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, Helix 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 Helix’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.

 


Assumptions and estimates used in the evaluation of impairment may affect the carrying value of long-lived assets, which could result in impairment charges in future periods. Such assumptions include projections of future cash flows and the current fair value of the asset.asset

 

Accounting for Acquisitions

 

In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, the Company determines whether a transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed constitute a business. Each business combination is then accounted for by applying the acquisition method. If the assets acquired are not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, the Company recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The Company capitalizes acquisition-related costs and fees associated with asset acquisitions and immediately expenses acquisition-related costs and fees associated with business combinations.

 

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

 


Business Combinations

 

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

 

The estimated fair value of net assets acquired, including the allocation of the fair value to identifiable assets and liabilities, was determined using established valuation techniques. The estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was determined using the income approach to valuation based on the discounted cash flow method. Under this method, expected future cash flows of the business on a stand-alone basis are discounted back to a present value. The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets, consisting of software and trade name acquired were determined using the relief from royalty method.

 


The most significant assumptions under the relief from royalty method used to value software and trade names include: estimated remaining useful life, expected revenue, royalty rate, tax rate, discount rate and tax amortization benefit. The discounted cash flow method used to value non-compete agreements includes assumptions such as: expected revenue, term of the non-compete agreements, probability and ability to compete, operating margin, tax rate and discount rate. Management has developed these assumptions on the basis of historical knowledge of the business and projected financial information of the Company. These assumptions may vary based on future events, perceptions of different market participants and other factors outside the control of management, and such variations may be significant to estimated values.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Under FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (“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.

 

The security services revenue is generated from performing armed and unarmed guarding which is contracted for on an hourly basis. Revenues associated with these contracted services are recognized under time-based arrangements as services are provided.

 


Additionally, the Company provides transportation security services, which are generally contracted for on a per-run basis and sometimes additional fees and surcharges are also billed to the client depending on the length of the run. Revenues associated with these services are recognized as the transportation service is provided. The guarding and transportation security business is now a discontinued operation. The Company still provides monitoring services.

 

The Company also generates revenue from developing and licensing seed to sale cannabis compliance software to both private-sector and public-sector (government agencies) businesses that are involved in cannabis related operations. The Company also generates revenue from on-going training, support and software customization services.

 

Occasionally, the Company will enter into systems installation arrangements. Installation jobs are estimated based on the cost of equipment to be installed, the number of hours expected to be incurred to complete the job and other ancillary costs. Revenue associated with these services are recognized over the arrangement period.

 

Lastly, the Company generates monthly recurring revenues from Cannalytics, its business intelligence and data tool for commercial customers. Revenue is recognized monthly.

 

Segment Information

 

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

 

Asset information by operating segment is not presented 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 consolidated financial statements.

 


Expenses

 

Cost of Revenue

 

The cost of revenues is the total cost incurred to obtain a sale and the cost of the goods or services sold. Cost of revenues primarily consisted of hourly compensation for security personnel and employees involved in the creation and development of licensing software.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses encompass selling general and administrative expenses, salaries and wages, professional and legal fees and depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of rent/moving expenses, advertising and travel expenses. Salaries and wages is composed of non-revenue generating employees. Professional services are principally comprised of outside legal, audit, information technology consulting, marketing and outsourcing services as well as the costs related to being a publicly traded company.

 

Other Income

 

Other income consisted of a gain on the change in fair value of convertible notes, gain on the change in the fair value of warrant liability, loss on the change in fair value of convertible notes – related party, loss on the change in fair value of contingent consideration, loss on issuance of warrants and interest expense.

 


Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives are 3 years for vehicles and 5 years for furniture and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and major improvements are capitalized. When assets are sold, or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in loss from operations.

 

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 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 selling, general and administrative expenses and amounted to $2,327$2,174 and $178,219$104,785 for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $7,747$9,581 and $247,490$350,840 for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net loss for the period.

14

Income Taxes

 

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 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 sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss consists of consolidated net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments. Foreign currency translation adjustments included in comprehensive loss were not tax-effected as investments in international affiliates are deemed to be permanent.

 


Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

 

The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from 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.

   

Share-based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in conformity with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Stock Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation to employees consist of stock option grants and restricted shares that are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.

  

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, based upon the fair-value of the underlying instrument. The equity instruments are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest and is recognized as an expense over the period which services are received.

 

The Company calculates the fair value of option grants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model and estimates the fair value of the stock based upon the estimated fair value of the common stock. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 


The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight- line basis over the requisite service period of the award.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”) provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).

  

The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:

 

 Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
   
 Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
   
 Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.

 

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are required to be recorded at fair value either on a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction based on market participants. The following section describes the valuation methodologies that the Company used to measure, for disclosure purposes, its financial instruments at fair value.

 

Convertible notes payable

 

The fair value of the Company’s convertible notes payable, approximated the carrying value as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Factors that the Company considered when estimating the fair value of its debt included market conditions and the term of the debt. The level of the debt would be considered as Level 2.

 

Warrant liabilities

 

The fair value of the Company’s warrant liabilities approximated the carrying value as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Factors that the Company considered when estimating the fair value of its warrants included market conditions and the term of the warrants. The level of the warrant liabilities would be considered as Level 3.

 

Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, deposits and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances from related parties and obligation pursuant to acquisition approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of those items. 

 


Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt and convertible securities, using the if-converted method.


For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and the six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, potential common shares includable in the computation of fully-diluted per share results are not presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, dilutive earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders less the change in fair value of warrant liability, the change in fair value of convertible notes, interest expense on convertible notes, and the debt discount amortized on convertible notes. The calculation of diluted EPS excludes 24,571,582 shares for securities which have been deemed to be anti-dilutive.

 

Earnings per share for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019 were calculated as follows:

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings or cash flows as previously reported.

 


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-.02, Leases (Topic 842) (“Topic 842”) which requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The most prominent of the changes in the standard is the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases.

 

The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and used the modified retrospective approach with the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, prior period balances and disclosures have not been restated. The Company elected certain practical expedients, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward prior conclusions about lease identification and classification.

 

Adoption of the standard resulted in the balance sheet recognition of additional lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $1,500,000. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company currently has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in separate lease and non-lease components for all our leases. For additional information regarding the Company’s leases, see Note 18 in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.

  

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220); Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this ASU allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the ASU. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 


In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees and applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASC 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. This update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 removes certain disclosures, modifies certain disclosures and adds additional disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluatingadopted this ASU as of January 1, 2020. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the effect that this update will have on itsCompany’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The following is a description of the principal activities from which we generate our revenue.

 

Security and GuardingMonitoring Revenue

 

Helix provides armed and unarmed guards, monitoring of security alarms and cameras, as well as armed transportation services. The guardswhich are charged out at an hourly rate, as are the monitoring services, with invoices typically sent to clients shortly after each month-end for the previous month, with revenue being recognized over time. The customer simultaneously receives and consumes benefits provided by the Helix performance. Transportation services are typically invoiced on a per-run basis, with revenue being recognized at a point in time once the service has been completed.

 

Systems Installation Revenue

 

Security systems, including Internet Protocol camera,cameras, intrusion alarm systems, perimeter alarm systems, and access controls are installed for clients. Installation jobs are estimated based on the cost of the equipment, the number of man hours expected to complete the work, supplies, travel, and any other ancillary costs. The installation is typically invoiced with 60% of the total price immediately after signing and the balance upon completion of the installation service. The timing of these contracts is short-term in nature and less than 12 months in duration, and revenue is recognized over the term of the contracts, utilizing the cost-to-cost method.

 

Software

 

The Company generates revenue from developing and licensing seed to sale cannabis compliance software to both private-sector and public-sector (government agencies) clients that are involved in cannabis related operations. The Company also generates revenue from on-going training, support and software customization services.

 


The private-sector software entails cultivation tracking, inventory management, point of sale and analytic reporting to assist businesses in meeting their compliance requirements and effectively managing their businesses. Customers within the private sector business are charged an initial one-time installation fee and the revenues associated with these services are recognized upon completion of installation and configuration at a point in time. After the installation and configuration of the software is completed, the customer is invoiced monthly and revenues associated with these services are recognized monthly over a period of time in which the customer continues to use the software and related services.


The public-sector software assists government agencies in efficient oversight of cannabis related business under their jurisdiction. Revenues associated with governmental contracts are longer-term in nature and recognized upon completion of certain milestones over a period of time or on a completed-contract basis at a point in time. The Company considers the contract to be complete when all significant costs have been incurred and the customer accepts the project. Costs incurred prior to the customer accepting the project are deferred and reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as prepaid expenses and other current assets.

  

Performance Obligations

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in accordance with ASC 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.  Generally, the Company’s contracts include a single performance obligation that is separately identifiable, and therefore, distinct. Under ASC 606, the allocation of transaction price is not necessary if only one performance obligation is identified.

 

Significant Judgments

 

Accounting for long-term contracts involves the use of various techniques to estimate total contract revenue, costs and satisfaction of performance obligation.obligations. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and subsequently recognizes revenue, over time, as security and installation services are performed. There were no changes to the significant judgments used by the Company to determine the timing of satisfaction of the performance obligations under ASC 606.

 

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill Contract

 

The Company’s costs to fulfill or obtain contracts with customers primarily consist of commissions and legal costs. The Company provides sales team members with commissions at 0-6%. Although sales commissions are incremental in nature and are only incurred when a contract is obtained, there is no up-front commission paid on the satisfactory obtainment of a contract, resulting in no sales commissions being capitalized at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company also incurs legal costs relating to the drafting and negotiating of contracts with select customers. Because legal costs are not incremental in nature and are incurred regardless of whether a contract is ultimately obtained, there were no legal costs capitalized as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company did not record amortization of costs incurred to obtain the contract or any impairment losses for the period ending JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019.

Green Tree International, Inc.

On February 5, 2019, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Merger Sub, entered into the Amercanex Merger Agreement with GTI and Steve Janjic, as the representative of the GTI shareholders, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into GTI (the “Merger”).

 

Pursuant to the Amercanex Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Company will issue to the GTI stockholders an amount of unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $15 million, based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the forty-five (45) trading day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the Closing Date. If the Closing occurs and revenues of GTI in the second 12 month period following the Closing Date exceed $5 million$5,000,000 and are less than or equal to $10 million,$10,000,000, Parent shall issue to the Company Shareholders a number of unregistered Parent Shares (whether issued or reserved for issuance) equal to the quotient of (a) $5 million$5,000,000 divided by (b) the Parent Share Price multiplied by the quotient of (c) the revenues of the Company in the second 12 month period following the Closing Date less $5 million$5,000,000 divided by (d) $5 million.$5,000,000.

 

To secure the indemnification obligations of the GTI shareholders to the Company under the Merger Agreement, 4,140,274 of the Company shares to be issued to the GTI shareholders will be held back and the Company will be entitled to retain such number of the holdback shares as necessary to satisfy those indemnification obligations. 50% of the holdback shares that remain after satisfaction of any indemnification obligations will be released 12 months after the closing date of the merger, and the remainder 24 months after the closing date of the merger. Additionally, the Amercanex Merger Agreement stated that if in the first 12 months following the closing GTI generates less than $1.5 million$1,500,000 of revenues, 100% of the holdback shares shall be returned to the Company.

In connection with closing the Merger on September 10, 2019, the Company issued 16,765,727 unregistered shares of its common stock to GTI stockholders. In connection with the Merger, Steve Janjic joined the board of directors of the Company. As the $1,500,000 revenue threshold was not reached within the first 12 months, all 4,140,274 holdback shares were returned to the Company and the final purchase price allocation included the 12,625,453 unregistered shares of common stock issued to GTI.


The Merger is being accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company has determined preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the GTI merger. These values are subject to change as we perform additional reviews of our assumptions utilized.

 


The Company has made a provisional allocation of the purchase price of the GTI transaction to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the purchase date. The following table summarizes the provisional purchase price allocations relating to the GTI transaction:

Conversion:

 

Each Series B Preferred Share is convertible at the option of the holder into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of Series B Preferred Shares to be converted, multiplied by the Preferred Conversation Rate. The Preferred Conversion Rate shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Preferred Stock Adjusted Issue Price ($0.3110812) by the Preferred Stock Conversation Price in effect at the time of the conversion (the initial conversion price will be equal to the Preferred Stock Original Issue Price, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and fundamental transactions). Based on the current conversion price, the Series B Preferred Shares are convertible into 14,417,856 shares of common stock. A fundamental transaction means: (i) our merger or consolidation with or into another entity, (ii) any sale of all or substantially all of our assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any reclassification of our Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange by which Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property; or (iv) sale of shares below the preferred stock conversion price. Each Series B Preferred Share will automatically convert into common stock upon the earlier of (i) notice by the Company to the holders that the Company has elected to convert all outstanding Series B Preferred Shares at any time on or after May 12, 2018; or (ii) immediately prior to the closing of a firmly underwritten initial public offering (involving the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on an Approved Stock Exchange) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of the Common Stock for the account of the Company in which the net cash proceeds to the Company (before underwriting discounts, commissions and fees) are at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000).

 

As a result of the Company’s financing at $.11 per share during May and June 2020 the number of shares of common stock the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into increased from 13,784,201 to 14,417,856.

1718.Income Taxes

 

No provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been recorded as the Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. Significant components of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019 consist of income tax loss carryforwards. These amounts are available for carryforward for use in offsetting taxable income of future years through 2035. Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward period. Utilization of the net operating loss carry-forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. Due to the Company’s history of operating losses, these deferred tax assets arising from the future tax benefits are currently not likely to be realized and are thus reduced to zero by an offsetting valuation allowance. As a result, there is no provision for income taxes. 

 

For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $19,278,000$20,077,000 and $15,098,000,$16,952,000, respectively. Utilization of these net loss carry forwards is subject to the limitations of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company applied a 100% valuation reserve against the deferred tax benefit as the realization of the benefit is not certain.

 

18.19.Commitments and Contingencies

 

Under Topic 842, operating lease expense is generally recognized evenly on a straight-line basis. 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 with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, the Company combines the lease and non-lease components in determining the lease liabilities and ROU assets.


Activity related to the Company’s leases was as follows:

 

 Six Months Ended
June 30,
2020
  Nine Months Ended
September 30,
2020
 
Operating lease expense $94,612  $60,306 
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities $100,681  $67,233 
ROU assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations $301,396  $301,396 

 

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. The Company used the incremental borrowing rate on December 31, 2018 for all leases that commenced prior to that date.

 


ROU lease assets and lease liabilities for the Company’s operating leases were recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as follows:

 

 As of

Total $1,294,619   $879,733 

 

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company had additional operating lease obligations for a lease with a future effective date of approximately $600,000. This operating lease will commence during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 with a lease term of three years.


19.20.Segment Results

 

FASB 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 three segments, Security and guarding, Systems installation and Software.

 

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:

The chief operating decision making group uses net loss before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization and adjusted for non-core or certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as a non-GAAP measure to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net loss, loss from operations, or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. From time to time, we may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges that affect the period-to-period comparability of the Company’s operating performance.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  

 

Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under Item 1A. Risk Factors appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed on March 30, 2020 with the SEC. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

 

Unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “Helix”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Helix Technologies, Inc.

Overview

 

Helix Technologies, Inc. provides critical infrastructure solutions to the legal cannabis industry. Our mission is to provide clients with the best-in-class critical infrastructure services through a single integrated platform which enables them to run their businesses more safely, efficiently, and profitably. As we increase our platform’s scale and scope, clients will be able to realize greater cost savings and operating advantages.

 

Our team is composed of former military, financial services, and technology professionals with deep experience in technology design and development, strategic partnerships, data aggregation, venture capital, private equity, risk-management, security and law enforcement, intelligence, banking, and finance.

 

Technology is a cornerstone of Helix’s service offering. Our technology platform allows clients to manage their business in a compliant manner with BioTrackTHC’s seed-to-sale software, as well as managing inventory and supply costs through Cannabase. We also provide bespoke monitoring and transport solutions. We focus on utilizing technology as an operations multiplier, bringing in and managing unique partnerships across the technology and operations spectrum to tailor and create desired outcomes for our clients.

 

Within the cannabis industry, no other activity carries as much potential for unforeseen negative impact as a lapse in compliance operations. Helix brings a broad range of compliance services to firms in the cannabis industry, safeguarding their ability to operate while increasing their access to services that offer them a competitive edge.

 

We have largely completed the financial and operational integrations of the previous 24 months, namely the acquisitions of BioTrackTHC, Engeni, Tan Security and Amercanex. BioTrackTHC specializes in providing cannabis software services, ranging from monitoring of plant inventory to point-of-sale solutions. BioTrackTHC’s software is used by 9 government entities and more than 2,000 commercial client locations across 34 U.S. states and 6 countries. Engeni provides a turnkey and comprehensive digital presence solution for small businesses. The Engeni Growth solution includes an optimized web page, a fully paid Google pay-per-click campaign, lead capture, lead delivery and ubiquitous directory/map listings. Engeni has also become the Company’s organic offshore software development platform, and has delivered the second generation of the BioTrackTHC software. These strategic acquisitions will help field the growing demand in the Legal Cannabis Industry. Tan Security, a licensed security company, provided the Company a platform with which to expand security operations in the state of California. Amercanex is a business to business wholesale marketplace that leverages blockchain technology and is capable of facilitating wholesale cannabis and hemp transactions between licensed businesses on a global scale. The Company has integrated Amercanex’s technology with BioTrackTHC’s software platforms. Integration of the previously announced acquisitions has already yielded the operational and financial results that the management team sought, evidenced by strongly improved cash flows from operations, growing market share, and a greatly accelerated software development time with increased market responsiveness. These integrations still have room to yield more financial and operational leverage, which will be welcome in the unprecedented operating environment that now confronts the industry. Further, the turnaround of the BioTrackTHC unit is well advanced, with strategic restructuring in operations and personnel nearly complete, having been initiated in 2019. The transition of BioTrackTHC from an operation with negative $800,000 of Adjusted EBITDA in 2018 (while still better than competitors) into an operation that generated nearly $800,000 in Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2020 and Q2 2020, over $1 million of Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2020, and is a transformational success.

 


Today, the leadership team is focused on keeping our employees and clients as safe as possible as we continue to execute our strategy in the face of the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic. As a former military officer with training in Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical operations, Helix’s CEO is focused on not only the Company’s strategic and operational results, but on the evolution of the pandemic threat to the business and our lives.

 


On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) recognized COVID-19 as a global pandemic, prompting many national, regional, and local governments, including in the markets that the Company operates in, to implement preventative or protective measures, such as travel and business restrictions, wide-sweeping quarantines and stay-at-home orders. As a result, COVID-19 has significantly curtailed global economic activity, including in the industries in which the Company operates.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant disruption and volatility in the capital markets, which, depending on future developments, could impact our capital resources and liquidity in the future. If we need to raise additional capital to support operations in the future, we may be unable to access the capital markets.

 

In response to the health and safety risks and challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has been proactively and regularly implementing measures to protect its employees. These measures include, but are not limited to, the following:following:

 

Abiding by national, state, and local recommendations to require the wearing of protective face masks and practicing of social distancing.

 

Adopting remote working protocols, systems, and processes.

 

While the Company is actively working to successfully navigate the financial, operational, and personnel challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. government, state and local government officials, and international governments to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain, out of our control and cannot be predicted at this time. We believe that the economic impacts of the pandemic are not well understood in terms of scope, scale and duration, and so we continue to focus on accelerating our execution timeline while using our technology and data resources to deliver greater reliability and profitability to our customers.

Revenue

Total revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was $9,315,142, which represented an increase of $2,045,162 compared to total revenue of $7,269,980 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase primarily resulted from additional revenue resulting from continued growth in our software client based, and an increase in the number of clients serviced by our security operations.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 primarily consisted of hourly compensation for security personnel and employees involved in the creation and development of licensing software. Cost of revenues increased by $730,429 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, to $4,652,347 as compared to $3,921,918 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase resulted entirely from the substantial increase in the number of clients serviced by Helix security, which required the hiring of additional employees. Despite growing software revenues, our cost of revenues in that business unit declined year over year.


Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses encompass selling, general and administrative expenses, salaries and wages, professional and legal fees and depreciation. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of rent/moving expenses, advertising and travel expenses. Salaries and wages is composed of non-revenue generating employees. Professional services are principally comprised of outside legal, audit, information technology consulting, marketing and outsourcing services as well as the costs related to being a publicly traded company. Our operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $9,124,129 and $8,410,448, respectively. The overall $713,681 increase in operating expenses was attributable to the following increases in operating expenses of:

Selling, general and administrative – $(485,435)
Salaries and wages – $552,328
Professional and legal fees – $(645,920)
Depreciation and amortization – $(77,270)
Loss on impairment of intangible assets - $1,369,978

The $485,435 decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is a result of decreases in rent expense, advertising and travel expenses. The $552,328 increase in salaries and wages resulted from share-based compensation and separation payments to terminated employees. The $645,920 decrease in professional and legal fees primarily resulted from a decrease in legal fees and costs associated with fundraising and acquisitions. The $1,369,978 increase in loss on impairment of intangible assets was due to the full impairment of the Security Grade customer list in the first quarter of 2020.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net consisted of a change in the fair value of convertible notes, change in the fair value of convertible notes – related party, change in fair value of warrant liability, change in fair value of contingent consideration, loss on issuance of warrants, gain on reduction of obligation pursuant to acquisition and interest (expense) income. Other income (expense), net during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $(1,730,035) and $(967,007), respectively.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows

 

Going Concern

 

Management believes that we will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. Therefore, we may either need additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we have generated revenue and are trying to achieve positive cash flows from operations.

 

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we had a cash balance of $2,001,931,$1,677,041, accounts receivable, net of $1,350,513$744,906 and $6,148,926$5,914,154 in current liabilities. At the current cash consumption rate, we may need to consider additional funding sources toward the end of fiscal 2020. We’ve taken proactive measures to reduce operating expenses, drive growth in revenue and expeditiously resolve any remaining legal matters.

 

The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to this uncertainty and as to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Related Party Transactions

On March 1, 2019, we entered into a $1,500,000 Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“Note Nine”) with Rose Capital Fund I, LP (the Related Party Holder”). A Managing Member of the Related Party Holder is also one our Directors. The Related Party Holder provided us with $1,475,000 in cash proceeds, which we received during the period ended September 30, 2019. The additional $25,000 was retained by the Related Party Holder for legal bills for the transaction. Note Nine will mature on March 1, 2020 and bears interest at a rate of 25% per annum, payable by us half in cash and half in kind on a quarterly basis. The principal balance of Note Nine is convertible at the election of the Related Party Holder, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, and at maturity based on the available cash balance of the Company, into our common stock at the lower of $0.90 per share or a 30% discount to our 30-day weighted average listed price per share immediately before the date of conversion, or at the Maturity Date. The Company and the Related Party Holder are negotiating a potential extension of Note Nine. In conjunction with Note Nine, we issued a warrant to the Related Party Holder to purchase 535,715 shares of our common stock at $1.40 per share.

We evaluated Note Nine in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and determined Note Nine will be accounted for as a liability initially measured at fair value and subsequently at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of Note Nine was $1,285,221. Accordingly, we recorded a change in fair value of ($498,233) related to Note Nine for the six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

In addition, we recorded a debt discount relating to the warrants issued in the amount of $1,186,153 based on the relative fair value of the warrants at inception of Note Nine. The additional $25,000 retained by the fourth investor for legal bills for the transaction will be recorded as a debt discount. Debt discount amortized to interest expense was $199,094 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The unamortized discount balance at June 30, 2020 was $0. On May 31, 2019, we issued 52,083 restricted shares of common stock as PIK interest payments in the amount of $46,875. On February 24, 2020, we issued 167,891 restricted shares of common stock as PIK interest payments in the amount of $93,750. Accrued interest expense associated with Note Nine was $29,795 as of June 30, 2020, which includes PIK interest payable. As of June 30, 2020, the balance of Note Nine, net of debt discount for warrants and legal bills was $1,285,221. 

On March 1, 2019, in connection with the issuance of Note Nine, we issued warrants, of which the value was derived and based off the fair value of Note Nine, to the investor to purchase 535,715 shares of our common stock at $1.40 per share. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by the warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after March 1, 2019 and on or before March 1, 2024, by delivery to us of the Notice of Exercise.

We determined that the warrants associated with Note Nine are puttable for cash upon a fundamental transaction at the option of the holder and as such required classification as a liability pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. We have no plans to consummate a fundamental transaction and do not believe a fundamental transaction is likely to occur during the remaining term of the outstanding warrants. In accordance with the accounting guidance, the outstanding warrants are recognized as a warrant liability on the balance sheet and are measured at their inception date fair value and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a component of other income in the statement of operations. At inception, March 1, 2019, the fair value of the warrant liability was $1,186,153 while as of March 31, 2020, the fair value of the warrant liability was $138. Accordingly, we recorded a change in fair value of approximately $181,927 during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which is reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. 

On July 29, 2019, we entered into an unsecured promissory note with the Related Party Holder in the amount of $300,000. The unsecured promissory note has a fixed interest rate of 12% and is due and payable on January 29, 2020. We and the Related Party Holder mutually agreed to defer payment of interest and repayment of principal until July 29, 2020, at which time we repaid the note with all accrued interest.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP financial measure and is the primary basis used to measure the operational strength and performance of our businesses as well as to assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our businesses. This measure eliminates the significant level of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results primarily from intangible assets recognized in business combinations and significant non-cash expense related to share basedshare-based compensation. It is also unaffected by our capital and tax structures. Our management and Board of Directors use this financial measure to evaluate our consolidated operating performance and the operating performance of our operating segments and to allocate resources and capital to our operating segments. Additionally, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our operating performance with that of other companies in our industries, although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before income tax expense, other income (loss), interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, share based compensation expense, other operating gains and losses (such as impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of long-lived assets), if any, and other gains and losses associated with the mark to market of our convertible notes, contingent liabilities and warrant liabilities. From time to time, we may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges that affect the period-to-period comparability of our operating performance. We reconcile consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to net loss. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating loss, net loss, or net cash provided by operating activities that we have reported in accordance with GAAP.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures 

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (who is our Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (who is our Principal Financial Officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control problems or acts of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

 

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Occasionally, we may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business. We record a provision for a liability when we believe 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 our 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.

 

There is currently no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self- regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our Company’s or our Company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material effect on the Company, with the exception of:
