FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes a number of forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These statements are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, us as of the date hereof, as well as estimates and assumptions made by us. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used herein, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks relating to our business, industry, and our operations and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include statements about:

our ability to achieve and sustain profitability of our existing lines of business and through our wholly owned subsidiaries;
our ability to raise sufficient capital to continue to acquire cybersecurity companies;
our ability to attract and retain cybersecurity talent;
our ability to identify potential acquisition targets within predetermined parameters;
our ability to successfully execute acquisitions, integrate the acquired businesses, and create synergies as a global cybersecurity consolidator;
our ability to attract and retain key technology or management personnel and to expand our management team;
the accuracy of estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements, profitability, and needs for additional financing;
our ability to attract and retain clients;
our ability to generate revenue and gross profit; and
our ability to navigate through the increasingly complex cybersecurity regulatory environment.

These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2022, any of which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, or performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, or performance or achievements expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, or performance. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Nature of the Business

 

We are a cybersecurity and compliance company comprised of highly trained and seasoned security professionals who work with clients to enhance or create a better cyber posture in their organization. Cybersecurity, also known as computer security or information technology security, is the protection of computer systems and networks from information disclosure, theft of or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The cybersecurity industry has a supply and demand issue wherein there is more demand for cybersecurity services than there are expert and seasoned compliance and cybersecurity professionals available in the market. We seek to identify, attract, and retain highly skilled cyber and compliance teams and bring them together to provide holistic cyber services. We accomplish this through acquisitions, direct hiring, and incentivizing employees with stock options to help retain them. On an ongoing basis, we seek to identify cyber talent that is culturally aligned and that offers operating leverage through both existing customer revenue and relationships. We have invested in enterprise solutions and executive talent to integrate our different organizations into an ecosystem that works together to provide complete and holistic cybersecurity through cross pollination of solutions. The ecosystem is intended to provide additional revenue opportunities and drive overall recurring revenue.

We provide a full range of cybersecurity consulting and related services, encompassing all three pillars of compliance, cybersecurity, and culture. Our services include secured managed services, compliance services, security operations center (“SOC”) services, virtual Chief Information Security Officer (“vCISO”) services, incident response, certified forensics, technical assessments, and cybersecurity training. We believe that culture is the foundation of every successful cybersecurity and compliance program. To deliver that outcome, we developed our unique offering of MCCP+ (“Managed Compliance & Cybersecurity Provider + Culture”), which is the only holistic solution that provides all three of these pillars under one roof from a dedicated team of subject matter experts. In contrast to the majority of cybersecurity firms that are focused on a specific technology or service, we seek to differentiate ourselves by remaining technology agnostic, focusing on accumulating highly sought-after topic experts. We continually seek to identify and acquire cybersecurity talent to expand our service scope and geographical coverage to provide the best possible service for our clients. We believe that bringing together a world-class team of technological experts with multi-faceted expertise in the critical aspects of cybersecurity is key to providing technology agnostic solutions to our clients in a business environment that has suffered from a chronic lack of highly skilled professionals, thereby setting us apart from competitors and in-house security teams. Our goal is to create a culture of security and to help quantify, define, and capture a return on investment from information technology and cybersecurity spending. Our brand rallies around the battle cry: “Cybersecurity is a Culture, not a Product.”

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considersWe consider 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 CompanyWe periodically assesses itsassess our accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. The Company providesWe provide 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 writesWe write off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s2021, our allowance for doubtful accounts was $76,200 91,707and $40,00077,811, 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 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 are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in results of operations.

 

Inventory

Inventory consists of software licenses and computer equipment for sale to customers. Inventory is measured using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and stated at lower of cost or net realizable value as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The value of inventories is reduced for excess and obsolete inventories. We monitor inventory to identify events that would require impairment due to obsolete inventory and adjusts the value of inventory when required. We recorded 0 inventory impairment losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviewsWe review 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 ended March 31, 2022 and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Companywe did not record a loss on impairment.

10

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company records itsWe record our intangible assets at costfair value in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Finite-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 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(see Note 6).

Advertising and Marketing Costs

 

The Company expensesWe expense advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses were $254,026155,341 and $30,48845,227 for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively, and are recorded in operating expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advertising and marketing expenses were $471,721 and $104,058 for the nine months ended September 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). 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(Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level(Level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.

 

Level 1:Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
Level 3:Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources.  These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.  The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for nonrecurring fair value measurements of long-lived assets include pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

 

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. All outstanding convertible notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, the options and shares issuable upon conversion thereof have been excluded from the Company’sour computation of net loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and 2020.2021.

11

 

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’sour net loss position even though the exercise price could be less than the average market price of the common shares:

Stock-Based Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company appliesWe apply 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 theour board of directors for their services, the Company estimateswe estimate the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes 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 recognizeswe recognize 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’sour limited history and lack of public trading volume for itsour common stock, the Companywe used the average of historical share prices of similar companies within itsour industry to calculate volatility for use in the Black-Scholes 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 accountswe account for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance with ASC 718. The Company usesWe use valuation methods and assumptions to value stock options that are in line with the process for valuing employee stock options noted above.

Leases

 

Leases in which the Company iswe are the lessee are comprised of corporate offices and property and equipment. All of the leases are classified as operating leases. The Company leasesWe lease multiple office spaces with a remaining weighted average term of 1.172.21 years. The Company leasesWe lease a vehicle with a remaining term of 0.670.25 years.

 

In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Companywe recognized a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and corresponding lease liability on itsour unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for long-term office leases and a vehicle operating lease agreement. See Note 12 – Leases for further discussion, including the impact on the Company’sour unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognized for the services provided to our customers or annual licenses and is recognized as services are performed or ratably over the life of the lease. We generally invoice customers in advance or in milestone-based installments. Deferred revenue of approximately $54,000 was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2022 that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, deferred revenue related to such customer payments was $1,952,543, all of which is expected to be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period and is therefore presented as current.

Deferred revenue consisted of the following:

SCHEDULE OF DEFERRED REVENUE

  March 31, 2022  December 31, 2021 
Security managed services $1,724,543  $52,824 
Professional services  228,000   - 
Total deferred revenue $1,952,543  $52,824 

Foreign Currency

Arkavia, uses the local currency as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities for Arkavia have been translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period and results of operations at the average exchange rates for the period. Unrealized exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of the financial statements of our non-U.S. functional currency operations are accumulated in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments account in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Gain

Foreign currency translation adjustments of $902,441 represent the difference between net loss and comprehensive gain for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, 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.

 

12

The Company utilizesWe utilize 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 accountsWe account 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 September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2020, the Company’s2021, our net deferred tax asset has been fully reserved.

 

For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizeswe recognize the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’sOur 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

In March 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-03, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). ASU 2021-03 requires an entity to identify and evaluate goodwill impairment triggering events when they occur to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit (or entity, if the entity has elected the accounting alternative for amortizing goodwill and chosen that option) is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the goodwill is impaired. It must test goodwill for impairment using the triggering event date as the measurement date. An entity is required to disclose the amount assigned to goodwill in total and by major business combination, or by reorganization event resulting in fresh-start reporting. Also, the entity must disclose the weighted average amortization period in total and the amortization period by major business combination, or by reorganization event resulting in fresh-start reporting. ASU 2021-03 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2021 and did not have a significant impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU requires issuers to account for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after the modification or exchange based on the economic substance of the modification or exchange. Under the ASU, an issuer determines the accounting for the modification or exchange based on whether the transaction was done to issue equity, to issue or modify debt, or for other reasons. The ASU is applied prospectively and is effective for the Companyus for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2022 and management noted that there is no material impact to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

15

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The Companynew guidance requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in business combinations to be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606 as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. The ASU is applied prospectively and is effective for us for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting this standard will have on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

Catapult Acquisition Corporation

 

On August 12, 2021,January 5, 2022, we entered into True Digital Stock Purchase Agreement with certain stockholders of True Digital and the Company effected an AmendedTrue Digital Merger Agreement with True Digital and Restatedcertain of its other stockholders. On January 19, 2022, the transactions contemplated by the True Digital Stock Purchase Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Catapult Acquisition Merger Sub, LLC (“Merger Sub”), Catapult Acquisition Corporation (d/b/a VelocIT) (“VelocIT”), the shareholders of VelocIT and Derek Hahn, in his capacity as the shareholder representative. Pursuant to theTrue Digital Merger Agreement the Merger Sub mergedwere consummated, with and into VelocIT, with VelocIT surviving the Merger asTrue Digital becoming a wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary of the Companyour company (the “VelocIT“True Digital Acquisition”). At the effective time of the VelocIT Acquisition, VelocIT’sTrue Digital’s outstanding common stock was exchanged for 2,566,778 shares of the Company’s common stock.

13

Immediately following the VelocIT Acquisition, the Company had 120,296,749 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The pre-acquisition stockholders of the Company retainedright to receive an aggregate of $117,729,9716,153,000 in cash and 8,229,000 shares representing approximatelyof our common stock, subject to a 98%10% ownershipholdback. In the event that no claim is made by a Cerberus Indemnitee (as defined in the Merger Agreement) within one year from closing, then we shall pay the entire amount of the post-acquisition company. Therefore, upon consummation10% holdback to the shareholders of the VelocIT Acquisition, there was no change in control.True Digital.

 

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 consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, based on the respective estimated fair value on the date of acquisition as determined in a purchase price allocation using available information and making assumptions management believed 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 12, 2021. Subsequent to the issuance of these financial statements, the Company expectswe expect to obtain a third-party valuation on the fair value of the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and the liabilities assumed for use in the purchase price allocation.

 

During the period subsequent to the effective date of the acquisition, VelocIT recorded revenue of $985,146 and a net loss of $1,695,276 for the period from August 12, 2021 to September 30, 2021.

 a.(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 VelocIT are both cybersecurity service providers. The acquisition of VelocIT provided Cerberus potential sales synergies resulting from Cerberus’ access to VelocIT’s current client-base to offer additional services. These items will be assigned a fair value upon the completion of the third-party valuation and are not expected to change significantly.

Warrant and Option Valuation

We computed the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected terms for options issued to non-employees is the contractual life and the expected term used for options issued to employees and directors is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. We utilize the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. We utilize an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within our industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

Our Business

 

The cyber security industry has a supply and demand issue; there is more demand for cyber security services than expert and seasoned compliance and cybersecurity professionals available in the market. We are a cybersecurity and compliance company comprised of highly trained and seasoned security professionals who work with clients to enhance or create a better cyber posture in their organization. Cybersecurity, also known as computer security or information technology security, is the protection of computer systems and networks from information disclosure, theft of or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The cybersecurity industry has a supply and demand issue wherein there is more demand for cybersecurity services than there are expert and seasoned compliance and cybersecurity professionals available in the market. We seek to identify, attract, and retain highly skilled cyber and compliance teams and bring them together to provide holistic cyber services. This is accomplishedWe accomplish this through acquisitions, direct hiring, and incentivizing employees with stock options to help retain them. On an ongoing basis, we seek to identify cyber talent that is culturally aligned and that offers operating leverage through both existing customer revenue and relationships. We have invested in enterprise solutions and executive talent to integrate our different organizations into an ecosystem that works together to provide complete and holistic cybersecurity through cross pollination of solutions. The ecosystem is intended to provide additional revenue opportunities and drive overall recurring revenue.

We emphasize to clients the critical nature of having their work force create a continuously aware security culture. Once engaged, we strive to become the trusted advisors for customers’ cybersecurity and compliance needs by providing tailored security solutions based upon their organizational needs. We do not focus on the selling of cybersecurity products; we are product agnostic so that we can provide solutions that fit customers’ security needs, financial realities, and future strategy. Our approach is to evaluate clients’ organizations holistically, identify compliance requirements, and help secure the infrastructure while helping to create a culture of security.

 

We provide a full range of cybersecurity consulting and related services, encompassing all three pillars of compliance, cybersecurity, and culture. Our services include secured managed services, compliance services, security operations center (“SOC”) services, virtual Chief Information Security Officer (“vCISO”) services, incident response, certified forensics, technical assessments, and culture, including Secured Managed Services, Compliance Services, SOC Services, Virtual CISO (vCISO) Services, Incident Response, Certified Forensics, Technical Assessments, and Cybersecurity Training.cybersecurity training. We believe that culture is the foundation of every successful cybersecurity and compliance program. To deliver that outcome, we developed our unique offering of MCCP+ (“Managed Compliance & Cybersecurity Provider + Culture”), which is the only holistic solution that provides all three of these pillars under one roof from a dedicated team of subject matter experts. In contrast to the majority of cybersecurity firms that are focused on a specific technology or service, we seek to differentiate ourselves by remaining technology agnostic, focusing on accumulating highly-sought afterhighly sought-after topic experts. We continually seek to identify and acquire cyber securitycybersecurity talent to expand our service scope and geographical coverage to provide the best possible service for our clients. We believe that bringing together a world-class team of technological experts with multi-faceted expertise in the critical aspects of cybersecurity is key to providing technology agnostic solutions to our clients in a business environment that has suffered from a chronic lack of highly-skilledhighly skilled professionals, thereby setting us apart from competitors and in-house security teams. Our goal is to create a culture of security and to help quantify, define, and capture a return on investment (ROI) from information technology and cybersecurity spending. Our brand rallies around the battle cry: “Cybersecurity is a Culture, not a Product.”

Offering this set of cybersecurity services allows us to capture more revenue with greater efficiency, facilitating greater profitability and stronger customer retention. The benefit to our customers is that they receive an efficient engagement from a single provider that covers a wide range of their needs. This means their challenges are addressed more thoroughly and problems are resolved more rapidly when compared to working with multiple vendors. This leads to the best possible outcome which enables them to commit to usFirst Quarter Fiscal 2022 Highlights

Our operating results for the long term.three months ended March 31, 2022 included the following:

 

We believe that our business model is differentiated from other companies in the industry in that our employees are not consultants; they’re dedicated partners available on a recurring monthly contract. Due to the numerous challenges in hiring experienced cybersecurity and compliance professionals, we believe that assimilating our team of industry and subject matter experts into our clients’ teams is the ideal solution.

Total revenue increased by $6.8 million to $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Total gross profit decreased by $670,000 to $49,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.
We acquired TrueDigital, which is now wholly owned subsidiaries of our company.

 

We are technology agnostic. Whereas, most cybersecurity firms are locked into working with a single technology, we seek to differentiate ourselves by remaining technology agnostic. This approach enables us to work with any business, no matter what systems or tools they use. For our customers the benefit is equally valuable; they’re able to choose the best tools and technology for their business needs without affecting their relationship with us.

We believe that building a world-class technology team with industry-specific and subject-matter expertise is the key to providing cutting-edge solutions to our clients. We aim to continue to identify and acquire cybersecurity talent to expand our scope of services and geographical footprint to fortify our capability to deliver excellence to our customers. Furthermore, our commitment is that we will stay a step ahead of threat actors and regulatory obligations to keep our customers safe and compliant.

We then operate with a holistic mindset, considering every link in the cybersecurity chain from people, processes, and technology, to determine their ideal “to be” state, aligned with their business goals, compliance requirements, and risk tolerance. Finally, we collaboratively devise and develop a strategic cybersecurity plan that takes into account critical priorities to effectively reduce cybersecurity risk by closing the gap between their “as is” and “to be” states. This comprehensive awareness of internal systems and policies provides our customers with a clear understanding of their overall risk as well as the strategies and tools they need to protect their most valuable assets: their data and brand reputation.

Although we are showing positive revenue, gross profit is trending negatively primarily due to increased stock compensation related to sales activity, we expect to incur further losses through the end of 2022.

To date we have funded operations primarily through the sale of equity in private placements and revenue generated by our services. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we received $9,471,000 from our public offering of our common stock.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated by operating activities will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months as well as our longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations.

 

LossOur future capital requirements, both near-term and long-term, will depend on write-offmany factors, in addition to our recurring operating expenses, include our growth rate, the continued expansion of accounts receivable remained relatively consistent duringsales and marketing activities, the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as comparedintroduction of new and enhanced products and service offerings, and the costs of any future acquisitions in complementary businesses and technologies. To the extent existing cash and cash equivalents are not sufficient to fund future activities, we may seek to raise additional funds through equity, equity-linked or debt financings. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to our existing stockholders. We may enter into agreements or letters of intent with respect to potential investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, services or technologies, which could also require us to seek additional equity financing, incur indebtedness or use cash resources. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020.event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, or if we cannot expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities because we lack sufficient capital, our business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.

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 September 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $11,013,000 and working capital surplus of approximately $646,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had a loss from operations of approximately $6,920,000 and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $4,312,000. Although the Company is showing positive revenues and gross profit trends, the Company expects to incur further losses through the end of 2021.

Significant Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our significantcritical accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for the quarter and sixthree months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021.

Fair Value Measurement

The fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in the valuation of an asset or liability. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques 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 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance are described below:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or

Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Business Combination

The Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets. Direct transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. The Company includes the results of operations of the business that it has acquired in its consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition.April 15, 2022.

 

33

32

 

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss.

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 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.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

We will periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review and at least annually. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s agreements with its clients are primarily service contracts that range in duration from a few months to one year. The Company recognizes revenue when control of these services is transferred to the client for an amount, referred to as the transaction price, which reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

A contract with a client exists only when:

the parties to the contract have approved it and are committed to perform their respective obligations;
the Company can identify each party’s rights regarding the distinct services to be transferred (“performance obligations”);
the Company can determine the transaction price for the services to be transferred; and
the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the client.

For the majority of its contracts, the Company receives non-refundable upfront payments. The Company does 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 the time of transfer of the promised goods or services to the client and the time the client pays for these goods or services to be generally one year or less. The Company’s credit terms to clients generally average thirty days, although in some cases payments are required in 15 days.

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with original expected duration of one year or less.

Practical Expedients

As part of 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.

Reimbursed Expenses

The Company includes reimbursed expenses in revenues and costs of revenue as the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified service, including the integration of the related services into a combined output to the client, which are inseparable from the integrated service. These costs include such items as consumables, transportation and travel expenses, over which the Company has discretion in establishing prices.

35

Costs of Revenue

Costs of revenue include (i) compensation and benefits for billable employees and consultants directly involved with delivering services offerings and engagements; (ii) consumables used for the services; and (iii) other expenses directly related to service contracts such as professional services, meals and travel expenses.

Volatility in Stock-Based Compensation

The volatility is based on historical volatilities of companies in comparable stages as well as the historical volatility of companies in the industry and, by statistical analysis of the daily share-pricing model. The volatility of stock-based compensation at any point in time is based on historical volatility of similar companies in the industry for the last two to five years.

Not Applicable. As

Because we are a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information requiredcalled for by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officerChief Executive Officer and our principal financial officer,Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is 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. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

 

36

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officerChief Executive Officer and principal financial officer,Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officerChief Executive Officer and principal financial officerChief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures as of March 31, 2022. 

33

Our management’s evaluation was based on the following material weakness(es)weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting disclosedwhich existed as of December 31, 2021, and which continue to exist, as discussed in our annual reportAnnual Report on Form 10-K for10-K:

Lack of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks in a timely manner; and
Lack of documentation on policies and procedures that are critical to the accomplishment of financial reporting objectives.

A material weakness is a control deficiency or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a company with limited accounting resources, a significant amount of management’s time and attention has been and will be diverted from our business to ensure compliance with these regulatory requirements.

Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weaknesses

Our management plans to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions planned include:

Identify gaps in our skills base and the expertise of our staff required to meet the financial reporting requirements of a public company; and
Develop policies and procedures on internal control over financial reporting and monitor the effectiveness of operations on existing controls and procedures.

 

Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the relevance of our risk-based approach and the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.in accordance with financial and budgetary considerations.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, our additional finance and accounting staff that we hired in the first quarter of this year continued to positively impact our segregation of duties. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we established an audit committee.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, other than those noted above, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
