Although there can be no assurance that debt or equity financing will be available on acceptable terms, the Company believes the Company’sits financial position and its ability to raise capital to be reasonable and sufficient. Based on our assessment, we do not believe there are conditions or events that, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of filing these financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

(“NSURE”), which was further amended on October 8, 2020, and as amended provides that the Company may invest up to an aggregate of $5,700,000 in NSURE to be funded in three tranches. In exchange, the Company will receive a total of 928,343 shares of NSURE’s Class A Common Stock.

During the course of calendar year 2020 and by October 8, 2020, the Company funded the first tranche, $1,350,000 in exchange for 394,029 shares. The second tranche allowed the Company to acquire an additional 209,075 shares at a price of $6.457 per share by no later than December 30, 2020. The third full tranche allowed the Company to purchase an additional 325,239 shares at a purchase price of $9.224 after December 20, 2020, but no later than March 31, 2021.

The Company did not fund tranches two and three in the required timeframes, thus, the Company relinquished its rights under the contract to any additional NSURE shares aside for the ones already acquired with tranche one.

 

10

The Company measures the NSURE shares subsequent to acquisition in accordance with ASC 321-10-35-2, at cost less impairment since no readily determinable fair value is available to the Company. The investment is reviewed for impairment at each reporting period by qualitatively assessing any indicators demonstrating fair value of the investment is less than carrying value. The Company did not observe any price changes resulting from orderly transactions for identical or similar assets for the periods ended September 30, 2022 or September 30, 2021. ASC 321-10-50-4 further requires an entity to disclose unrealized gains and losses for periods that relate to equity securities held at a reporting date. To-date, the Company has not recognized any unrealized gains or losses on the NSURE security.

 

In accordance with ACS 321-10-35-3, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine if the investment may be impaired. After considering the indicators contained in ASC 321-10-35-3a –3e, the Company determined that the investment was not impaired.

Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three and nine months ended SeptemberMarch 30,31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 because the estimated annual effective tax rate was zero. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the Company’s annual earnings and taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, the ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carry forwards, and available tax planning alternatives.

 

As of September 30, 2022 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Company provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets since the Company believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Prior Period AdjustmentsDiscontinued Operations

The Company identified certain immaterial adjustments impacting prior reporting periods. Specifically, the Company identified adjustments to correct certain asset, liability and equity accounts in relation to historical purchase price allocation accounting, historical accrued revenues and true ups of the common stock issuable account.

The Company assessed the materiality of the adjustments to prior period financial statements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. (SAB) 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.

Accordingly, the Company’s comparative condensed consolidated financial statements and impacted notes have been revised from amounts previously reported to reflect these adjustments. The following table illustrates the impact on previously reported amounts and adjusted balances presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2022.

NOTE 2. STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Medigap Healthcare Insurance Company, LLC Transaction

On January 10, 2022, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, dated December 21, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the assets of Medigap Healthcare Insurance Company, LLC (“Medigap”) for a purchase price of $20,096,250, consisting of: (i) payment to Medigap of $18,138,750 in cash and (ii) the issuance to Medigap of 606,037 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The purchase price is subject to post-closing adjustment to reconcile certain pre-closing credits and liabilities of the parties. The shares issued to Medigap as part of the purchase price are further subject to lock up arrangements pursuant to which 50% of the shares may be sold after the one-year anniversary of the date of closing of the transaction and the balance of the shares may be sold after the second-year anniversary of the date of closing of the transaction.

The acquisition of Medigap was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the acquisition method pursuant to FASB Topic No. 805, Business Combination (ASC 805). Accordingly, the total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values. The acquisition method of accounting requires, among other things, that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, if any, in a business purchase combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and certain tangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows, developing appropriate discount rates, estimating the costs, and timing.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price in connection with the acquisition of Medigap was calculated as follows:

SCHEDULE OF ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE

Description Fair Value  Weighted Average
Useful Life (Years)
 
Property, plant and equipment $20,666   5 
Right-of-use asset  317,787     
Trade names  340,000   15 
Customer relationships  4,550,000   12 
Technology  67,000   3 
Backlog  210,000   1 
Chargeback reserve  (1,484,473)    
Lease liability  (317,787)    
Goodwill  19,199,008   Indefinite 
  $22,902,201     

Trade name was measured at fair value using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. Significant inputs used to measure the fair value include an estimate of projected revenue from the trade name, a pre-tax royalty rate of 0.5% and a discount rate of 11.0%.

Customer relationships were measured at fair value using the multiple-period excess earnings method under the income approach. Significant inputs used to measure the fair value include an estimate of projected revenue and costs associated with existing customers, and a discount rate of 11.0%.

Technology was measured at fair value using the cost replacement method of the cost approach. Significant inputs used to measure the fair value include an estimate of cost to replace, an obsolescence rate of 40.3%.

14

The value assigned to backlog acquired was estimated based upon the contractual nature of the backlog as of the acquisition date, using the income approach to discount back to present value the cash flows attributable to the backlog, using a discount rate of 11.0%.

Goodwill of $19,199,008 arising from the acquisition of Medigap consisted of the value of the employee workforce and the residual value after all identifiable intangible assets were valued. Goodwill recognized pursuant to the acquisition of Medigap is currently expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Total acquisition costs for the acquisition of Medigap incurred were $94,065 recorded as a component of General and administrative expenses.

The approximate revenue and net profit or loss for the acquired business as a standalone entity per ASC 805 from January 10, 2022 to September 30, 2022 was $3,868,654 and a loss of $693,861, respectively.

The reversal of the gain inon the change fair value of the Series B warrantswarrant liability for the three and nine months September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022 is included in the numerator of the dilutive EPS calculation to eliminate the effects of the warrants that have been recorded in net income as the impact is dilutive. The gain in fair value of the Placement Agent warrants for the three months September 30, 2022 is included in the numerator of the dilutive EPS calculation to eliminate the effects of the warrants that have been recorded in net income as the impact is dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as the fair value change in the Placement Agent warrants is a loss, the addback of the loss would result in anti-dilution and therefore is not included in the numerator of dilutive EPS.

The potential impact of the 9,779,950 and 244,539 Series B and Placement Agent warrants are excluded from the denominator of the dilutive EPS calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as the average market price for both periods does not exceed the exercise price of the warrants, resulting in anti-dilutive securities.

Additionally, the following are considered anti-dilutive securities excluded from weighted-average shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share:

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

 

Overview

 

Reliance Global Group, Inc. (formerly known as Ethos Media Network, Inc.(the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on August 2, 2013. In September 2018, Reliance Global Holdings, LLC, a related party, purchased a controlling interest in the Company. Ethos Media Network, Inc. was renamed Reliance Global Group, Inc. on October 18, 2018.

We operateoperates as a diversified company engaging in business in the insurance market, as well as other related sectors. Our focus is to grow the Company by pursuing an aggressive acquisition strategy, initially and primarily focused upon wholesale and retail insurance agencies. The Company is controlled by the same management team as Reliance Global Holdings, LLC (“Reliance Holdings”), a New York based firm that is the owner and operator of numerous companies with core interests in real estate and insurance. Our relationship with Reliance Holdings provides us with significant benefits: (1) experience, knowledge, and industry relations; (2) a source of acquisition targets currently under Reliance Holdings’ control; and (3) financial and logistics assistance. We are led and advised by a management team that offers over 100 years of combined business expertise in real estate, insurance, and the financial service industry.

 

In the insurance sector, our management has extensive experience acquiring and managing insurance portfolios in several states, as well as developing specialized programs targeting niche markets. Our primary strategy is to identify specific risk to reward arbitrage opportunities and develop these on a national platform, thereby increasing revenues and returns, and then identify and acquire undervalued wholesale and retail insurance agencies with operations in growing or underserved segments, expand and optimize their operations, and achieve asset value appreciation while generating interim cash flows.

 

As part of our growth and acquisition strategy, we continue to survey the current insurance market for value-add acquisition opportunities. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we have acquired tennine insurance agencies, including both affiliated and unaffiliated companies and long term, we seek to conduct all transactions and acquisitions through our direct operations.

 

Over the next 12 months, we plan to focus on the expansion and growth of our business through continued asset acquisitions in insurance markets and organic growth of our current insurance operations through geographic expansion and market share growth.

 

Further, we launched our 5MinuteInsure.com (“5MI”) Insurtech platform during 2021 which expanded our national footprint. 5MI is a high-tech proprietary tool developed by us as a business to consumer portal which enables consumers to instantly compare quotes from multiple carriers and purchase their car and home insurance in a time efficient and effective manner. 5MI taps into the growing number of online shoppers and utilizes advanced artificial intelligence and data mining techniques, to provide competitive insurance quotes in around 5 minutes with minimal data input needed from the consumer. The platform launched during the summer of 2021 and currently operates in 46 states offering coverage with up to 30 highly rated insurance carriers.

 

With the acquisition of Barra, we launched RELI Exchange, our business-to-business (B2B) InsurTech platform and agency partner network that builds on the artificial intelligence and data mining backbone of 5MinuteInsure.com. Through RELI Exchange we on-board agency partners and provide them with an InsurTech platform white labeled, designed and branded specifically for their business. This combines the best of digital and human capabilities by providing our agency partners and their customers quotes from multiple carriers within minutes. Since its inception, RELI Exchange has increased its agent roster by more than 30%.

 

Business Trends and Uncertainties

 

The insurance intermediary business is highly competitive, and we actively compete with numerous firms for customers, properties and insurance companies, many of which have relationships with insurance companies, or have a significant presence in niche insurance markets that may give them an advantage over us. Other competitive concerns may include the quality of our products and services, our pricing and the ability of some of our customers to self-insure and the entrance of technology companies into the insurance intermediary business. A number of insurance companies are engaged in the direct sale of insurance, primarily to individuals, and do not pay commissions to agents and brokers.

Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, consist of derivative warrants. These are accounted at fair value as of inception/issuance date, and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, (non-cash) gain or loss.

 

Insurance Operations

 

Our insurance operations focus on the acquisition and management of insurance agencies throughout the U.S. Our primary focus is to pinpoint undervalued wholesale and retail insurance agencies with operations in growing or underserved segments (including healthcare and Medicare, as well as personal and commercial insurance lines). We then focus on expanding their operations on a national platform and improving operational efficiencies in order to achieve asset value appreciation while generating interim cash flows. In the insurance sector, our management team has over 100 years of experiencesexperience acquiring and managing insurance portfolios in several states, as well as developing specialized programs targeting niche markets. We plan to accomplish these objectives by acquiring wholesale and retail insurance agencies it deems to represent a good buying opportunity (as opposed to insurance carriers) as insurance agencies bear no insurance risk. Once acquired, we plan to develop them on a national platform to increase revenues and profits through a synergetic structure. The Company is initially focused on segments that are underserved or growing, including healthcare and Medicare, as well as personal and commercial insurance lines.

 

Insurance Acquisitions and Strategic Activities

 

As of the balance sheet date, we have acquired tenmultiple insurance brokerages (see table below), including both acquisitions of affiliated companies (i.e., owned by Reliance Holdings before the acquisition) and unaffiliated companies. As our acquisition strategy continues, our reach within the insurance arena can provide us with the ability to offer lower rates, which could boost our competitive position within the industry.

J.P. Kush and Associates, Inc. Transaction

Kush and Associates, Inc. whereby we purchased the business and certain assets noted within the Purchase Agreement (the “Kush Acquisition”) for a total purchase price of $3,644,166. The purchase price was paid with a cash payment of $1,900,000, $50,000 in restricted shares of our common stock, in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and an earn-out payment.

The Kush Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the acquisition method under the guidance in ASC 805-10 and 805-20. Accordingly, the total purchase consideration was allocated to intangible assets acquired based on their respective estimated fair values. The acquisition method of accounting requires, among other things, that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, if any, in a business purchase combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and certain tangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows, developing appropriate discount rates, estimating the costs, and timing.

The allocation of the purchase price in connection with the Kush Acquisition was calculated as follows:

The shares issued to Medigap as part of the purchase price are subject to lock up arrangements pursuant to which 50% of the shares may be sold after the one-year anniversary of the date of closing of the transaction and the balance of the shares may be sold after the second-year anniversary of the date of closing of the transaction.

Nasdaq NotificationThe Company determined the Series E Warrants, Series F Warrants, and Warrant Exchange

On January 31, 2022, we received a deficiency notification from Nasdaq regarding the issuance of sharesPA Warrants are equity in nature and their value is included in the Medigap Acquisition and Private Placement in violationCompany’s condensed consolidated statements of Listing Rule 5635(a)stockholders’ equity (deficit). This rule requires an issuer to obtain shareholder approval with respect to an acquisition paid for from the proceeds of a sale of common stock of the issuer which equals or exceeds 20% of the shares of the issuer, issued and outstanding prior to the acquisition. The Company submitted a remediation plan under which the Nasdaq granted us an extension to implement the required changes until May 10, 2022.

As part of its remediation plan, on March 22, 2022 we entered into Exchange Agreements with the holders of common stock issued in January 2022 resulting from the Medigap Acquisition and Private Placement. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, we issued 3,276,929 Series C prepaid warrants in exchange for 3,276,929 shares of our common stock that were previously issued. Additionally, to compensate the Private Placement investors for entering into the Exchange Agreements, we issued 1,222,498 Series D prepaid warrants to such investors for no additional consideration on the same date. The fair value of the Series D prepaid warrants upon issuance was $6,930,335; such amount was treated as a deemed dividend and accordingly reduced income available to common stockholders for the period. Shares of common stock underlying the Series C and D prepaid warrants are treated as outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. The Series C warrants were exercised during the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The Series D warrants were exercised during the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

The increase of $1.8 million or 1,243% is primarily a result of Medigap’s direct business to consumer marketing model deployed through social media platforms, in addition to overall increased branding and outreach efforts to achieve greater industry presence.

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had a cash balance of $3.0approximately $3.6 million and a working capital deficit of $3.5 millionapproximately $743,000, compared with a cash balance of $4.6approximately $1.9 million and working capital deficit of $37approximately $4.5 million at December 31, 2021.2022.

The spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the United States has resulted in economic uncertainties which may negatively impact our business operations. While the disruption is expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty surrounding the duration and extent of the impact. Currently we have not seen any material financial impact as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. However, management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry and workforce.Inflation

 

Adverse events such as health-related concerns about working in our offices, the inability to travel and other matters affecting the general work environment could harm our business and our business strategy. While we do not anticipate any material impact to our business operations as a result of the coronavirus, in the event of a major disruption caused by the outbreak of pandemic diseases such as coronavirus, we may lose the services of our employees or experience system interruptions, which could lead to diminishment of our business operations. Any of the foregoing could harm our business and delay the implementation of our business strategy and we cannot anticipate all the ways in which the current global health crisis and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.

Inflation

The Company generally may be impacted by rising costs for certain inflation-sensitive operating expenses such as labor, employee benefits, and facility leases. The Company believes inflation could have a material impact to pricing and operating expenses in future periods due to the state of the economy and current inflation rates.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as such term is defined in Regulation S-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), refers to controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to a company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

OurDuring fiscal year 2022, the Company determined it had a material weakness in its disclosure controls and procedures for specifically earnings per share (EPS). During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company mitigated the deficiency by consulting with qualified advisors that have in-depth EPS expertise. These advisors assisted the Company in the calculations and disclosures of EPS for the three months ended, March 31, 2023.

Pursuant to the above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. Based onMarch 31, 2023, and although appropriate mitigation and remedial action have been taken, will continue to disclose a material weakness and a conclusion of ineffective controls over EPS for the evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022.period ended March 31, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter which is the subject of this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

25

PART II

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, and accordingly, no legal contingencies are accrued as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. Litigation relating to the insurance brokerage industry is not uncommon. As such we, from time to time have been, subject to such litigation. No assurances can be given with respect to the extent or outcome of any such litigation in the future.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the information disclosed in Part I, Item1A,Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Except as set forth below, there2022. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

2022.

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a delisting of our common stock.

26

Our shares of common stock are currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market, such as the corporate governance requirements, minimum bid price requirement or the minimum stockholder’s equity requirement, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC may take steps to delist our common stock. Any delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our common stock and would impair stockholders’ ability to sell or purchase their common stock when they wish to do so.

On September 27, 2022, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying us that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (August 15, 2022 through September 26, 2022), our common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our common stock which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “RELI”. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we initially have a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until March 27, 2023, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules. Compliance can be achieved automatically and without further action if the closing bid price of our common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the compliance period, in which case Nasdaq will notify us of our compliance and the matter will be closed. If, however, we do not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by March 27, 2023, we may be eligible for additional time to comply; however, such additional time is not guaranteed and is subject to the discretion of Nasdaq. In order to be eligible for such additional time, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and must notify Nasdaq in writing of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period

We intend to attempt to take actions to restore our compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us would result in our common stock meeting The Nasdaq listing requirements, or that any such action would stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock. Any perception that we may not regain compliance or a delisting of our common stock by Nasdaq could adversely affect our ability to attract new investors, decrease the liquidity of the outstanding shares of our common stock, reduce the price at which such shares trade and increase the transaction costs inherent in trading such shares with overall negative effects for our stockholder. In addition, delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could deter broker-dealers from making a market in or otherwise seeking or generating interest in our common stock, and might deter certain institutions and persons from investing in our common stock.
