Prior to the Company’s acquisition of GenResults, GenResults was wholly-owned by an entity affiliated with David G. Jemmett, Cerberus’ Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company. Due to the companies being under common control, the Company accounted for the acquisition as a reorganization.

Effective October 1, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “TalaTek Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which TalaTek, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“TalaTek”), became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the TalaTek Merger Agreement, all issued and outstanding units representing membership interests in TalaTek were converted into an aggregate of 6,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Effective May 25, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Technologyville, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Techville”), and its sole shareholder, pursuant to which Techville became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Techville Acquisition”). Under the terms of the Techville Acquisition, all issued and outstanding common stock of Techville was exchanged for an aggregate of 3,392,271 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Effective August 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Clear Skies Security, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Clear Skies”), and its equity holders, pursuant to which Clear Skies became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Clear Skies Acquisition”).

Nature of the Business

Cerberus Sentinel is a security services company comprised of security professionals who work with clients throughout the United States to create a continuously aware security culture. We do not sell cybersecurity products. We position the Company as a trusted cybersecurity advisor and are committed to delivering tailored security solutions to organizations of different sizes and across all geographies and industries to fit their budgetary needs and limit their cyber threat exposure.

We currently provide a multitude of cybersecurity services including managed security service, cybersecurity consulting, technology consulting, compliance auditing, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, security remediation, Security Operations Center (“SOC”) set-up and consulting and cybersecurity training. We differentiate ourselves from our competitors by staying technology agnostic. We believe that many cybersecurity service providers in the market today are committed to a specific technology solution which limits their service scope and ability to quickly respond to any emerging cybersecurity challenges. In addition, as we continue to serve our clients within our existing capacities, we plan to continue making strategic acquisitions of small-to-medium-sized engineer-led cybersecurity service firms to continue to expand our service scope and geographical coverage. We believe that having a world-class technology team with multi-faceted expertise is key to providing technology agnostic solutions to our clients and maximizing their return on investment from information technology (“IT”) and cybersecurity spending.

Liquidity

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and satisfying liabilities in the normal course of business. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $3,870,000$8,760,000 and working capital surplus of approximately $1,569,000. $3,532,000. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company had a loss from operations of approximately $2,420,000 $3,762,000and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $1,158,000.$2,647,000. Although the Company is showing positive revenues and gross profit trends, the Company expects to incur further losses through the end of 2020.2021.

To date the Company has been funding operations primarily through the sale of equity in private placements and revenues generated by the Company’s services. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company received $790,000$3,250,000 from private placements to accredited investors of the Company’s common stock and approximately $710,000 from a loan through the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program.stock.

Based on its current cash resources and commitments, the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development and corresponding level of expenditure for at least twelve months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, although no assurance can be given that it will not need additional funds prior to such time.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information as of June 30, 2021 and for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 20192020 has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. These unaudited financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20192020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020.31, 2021.

Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, GenResults, LLC (“GenResults”), TalaTek, Inc. (“TalaTek”), Techville, Clear Skies, and Clear Skies.Alpine. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 to conform to the financial statements presentation for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss or cash flows as previously reported.

Use of Estimates

Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies discussed below affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the carrying value of intangible assets and goodwill, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, the estimated fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and stock issued in business combinations and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected divided rate.

Revenue

Revenue

The Company’s revenues are derived from two major types of services to clients: Managed Services and Consulting Services. With respect to Managed Services, the Company provides culture education and enablement, tools and technology provisioning, data and privacy monitoring, regulations and compliance monitoring, remote infrastructure administration, and cybersecurity services including, but not limited to, antivirus and patch management. With respect to Consulting Services, the Company provides cybersecurity consulting, compliance auditing, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, and disaster recovery and data backup solutions.

Practical Expedients

As part of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, the Company has adopted several practical expedients including the following: (i) the Company has determined that it need not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised service to the customer and when the customer pays for that service will be one year or less and (ii) the Company recognizes any incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

Disaggregated Revenues

Revenue consists of the following by service offering for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020:2021:

SCHEDULE OF DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUES 

Revenue consists of the following by service offering for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019:2020:

Contract Modifications

There were no contract modifications during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Contract modifications are not routine in the performance of the Company’s contracts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company periodically assesses its accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. The Company provides for allowances for doubtful receivables based on management’s estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and any other factors considered appropriate. Payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $70,847$55,264 and $40,000,$40,000, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally between three and five years. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of the assets are capitalized and depreciated. Computer equipment costs for the Company are capitalized, as incurred, and depreciated on a straight-line basis over three years. TalaTek capitalizes all equipment costs over $5,000, as incurred,$5,000 and depreciates these costs on a straight-line basis over three years.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will beis removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will beis reflected in results of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company did not record a loss on impairment.

Intangible Assets

The Company records its intangible assets at cost in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Finite livedFinite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, which is determined by identifying the period over which the cash flows from the asset are expected to be generated.

Goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquired business over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually at year end, at the reporting unit level or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using market and discounted cash flow approaches. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The discounted cash flow approach uses expected future operating results. Failure to achieve these expected results may cause a future impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level (See Notes 3 and 6)Note 5).

Advertising and Marketing Costs

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses were $30,488 $172,468 and $104,058 $45,708 for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, respectively,2021 and $11,500 and $22,840 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, and are recorded in operating expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advertising and marketing expenses were $217,695 and $73,570 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are recorded in operating expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value Measurements

As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is 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 (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.

Net Loss per Common Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All vested outstanding options are considered potentially outstanding common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options is calculated using the treasury stock method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, the options have been excluded from the Company’s computation of net loss per common share for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020.

The following tables summarize the securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive due to the Company’s net loss position even though the exercise price could be less than the average market price of the common shares:

SUMMARY OF SECURITIES EXCLUDED FROM DILUTED PER SHARE CALCULATION

Stock-based Compensation

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the statements of operations.

For stock options issued to employees and members of the board of directors for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised. Due to the Company’s limited history and lack of public markettrading volume for its common stock, the Company used the average of historical share prices of similar companies within its industry to calculate volatility for use in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance with ASC 718. The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions to value the stock options that are in line with the process for valuing employee stock options noted above.

Leases

Leases in which the Company is the lessee are comprised of corporate offices and property and equipment. All of the leases are classified as operating leases. The Company leases multiple office space monthlyspaces with no longa remaining weighted average term agreements.of 1.42 years. The Company leases a vehicle with a remaining term of three0.92 years.

In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company recognized a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and corresponding lease liability on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for itslong-term office leases and a vehicle operating lease agreement. See Note 1312 – Leases for further discussion, including the impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company utilizes ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company’s net deferred tax asset has been fully reserved.

For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations when a determination is made that such expense is likely.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

All newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not applicable or immaterial to the Company.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

Clear Skies Security LLC Acquisition

Effective August 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Clear Skies, and its equity holders, pursuant to which Clear Skies became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Clear Skies Acquisition”). At the effective time of the Clear Skies Acquisition, Clear Skies’ outstanding equity securities was exchanged for 2,330,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Immediately following the Clear Skies Acquisition, the Company had 113,984,771 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The pre-acquisition stockholders of the Company retained an aggregate of 111,654,771 shares, representing approximately 98% ownership of the post-acquisition company. Therefore, upon consummation of the Clear Skies Acquisition, there was no change in control.

The Company accounted for this transaction in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Assets and liabilities of the acquired business were included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020, based on the estimated fair value on the date of acquisition as determined in a purchase price allocation using available information and making assumptions management believes are reasonable.

Per ASC 805, Business Combinations, the measurement period is the period after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may adjust the provisional amounts recognized for a business combination. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date. The Company has identified the acquisition date as August 1, 2020. Subsequent to the issuance of these financial statements, the Company expects to obtain a third-party valuation on the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed for use in the purchase price allocation.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the transaction date:

a. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present. Goodwill and intangibles are not deductible for tax purposes.

b. Goodwill represents expected synergies from the merger of operations and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Cerberus and Clear Skies are both cybersecurity service providers. The acquisition of Clear Skies provided Cerberus potential sales synergies resulting from Cerberus’ access to Clear Skies’ current client-base to offer additional services. Goodwill also represents Clear Skies’ customer list as well as the value of a non-competition agreement of one of the principals of Clear Skies, to which the Company is currently unable to assign a fair value. These items will be assigned a fair value upon the completion of the third-party valuation.
