NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Corporate History

 

Cerberus Cyber Sentinel Corporation (“Cerberus Sentinel,” “Cerberus,” or the “Company”) was formed on March 5, 2019 as a Delaware corporation. The Company’s principal offices are located at 7333 E. Doubletree, Suite D270, Scottsdale, Arizona 85258.

 

On April 12, 2019, Cerberus acquired GenResults, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“GenResults”). GenResults was established on June 22, 2015. 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. As of December 31, 2019, GenResults was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cerberus. 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 its wholly-owned subsidiary. 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 converted into an aggregate of 3,392,271 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Nature of the Business

 

Cerberus Sentinel is a security consulting company comprised of security professionals who work with clients to create a continuously aware security culture. We do not sell cybersecurity products. We position ourselves 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 the liabilities in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $2,800,000 and working capital surplus of approximately $1,300,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had a loss from operations of approximately $1,390,000 and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $740,000. Although the Company is showing positive revenues and gross profit trends, the Company expects to incur further losses through the end of 2020.

 

7 

 

 

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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company received $140,000 from private placements to accredited investors of the Company’s common stock and approximately $710,000 from the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Payroll Protection Program.

 

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 financial information as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 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 six months ended June 30, 2020 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, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020.

 

Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, GenResults, TalaTek and Techville. 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 to conform to the financial statements presentation for the three and six months ended June 30 ,2020. 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 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, assumptions used in Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected divided rate.

 

8 

 

 

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 and regulations and compliance, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020:

Contract Modifications

 

There were no contract modifications during the six months ended June 30, 2020. 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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $70,847 and $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, 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 be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 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.

 

10 

 

 

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 (See Notes 3 and 6).

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs

 

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses were $45,708 and $73,570 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $8,151 and $11,340 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, 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.

 

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 are 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 six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

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

 

   June 30, 2020   June 30, 2019 
         
Stock Options   20,820,000    1,100,000 
Total   20,820,000    1,100,000 

 

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 market 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 office space monthly with no long term agreements. The Company leases a vehicle with a remaining term of three 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 its vehicle operating lease agreement. See Note 13 – 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.

 

12 

 

 

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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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.

 

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

 

Technologyville, Inc. Acquisition

 

On May 25, 2020, the Company entered into and effected a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Techville, and its sole shareholder, Brian Yelm (“Yelm”). Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, Techville became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the SPA, at the effective time of the Techville Acquisition, Techville’s outstanding common stock was exchanged for 3,392,271 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Immediately following the Techville Acquisition, the Company had 111,654,771 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The pre-acquisition stockholders of the Company retained an aggregate of 108,262,500 shares, representing approximately 97% ownership of the post-acquisition company. Therefore, upon consummation of the Techville 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 June 30, 2020, based on the retrospective 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 May 25, 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.

 

13 

 

 

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:

 

Consideration paid  $1,356,908 
      
Tangible assets acquired:     
Cash   65,037 
Accounts receivable, net   80,289 
Vehicle   58,693 
Total tangible assets   204,019 
      
Assumed liabilities:     
Line of credit   33,705 
Accrued expenses   117,742 
Loan payable   50,896 
Other liabilities   1,128 
Total assumed liabilities   203,471 
      
Net assets acquired   548 
      
Goodwill (a.)(b.)  $1,356,360 

 

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 Techville are both cybersecurity service providers. The acquisition of Techville provided Cerberus potential sales synergies resulting from Cerberus’ access to Techville’s current client-base to offer additional services. Goodwill also represents Techville’s customer list as well as Mr. Yelm’s two-year non-compete clause, 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.

Total compensation expense related to the options was $343,910 and $669,339 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, there was future compensation cost of $2,777,590 with a weighted average recognition period of 1.82 years.

 

The aggregate intrinsic value totalled $60,000 and was based on the Company’s estimated fair value of the stock price of $0.40 as of June 30, 2020, respectively, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date.

 

On January 1, 2020, the Company granted options to purchase 720,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Reithinger, with an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The options vest monthly over a three-year period. The options issued were valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model under the following assumptions: stock price - $0.40; strike price - $0.50; expected volatility – 72%; risk free interest rate – 1.67%; dividend rate – 0%; and expected term – 5.75 years.

 

On January 1, 2020, the Company granted options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to an employee, with an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The options for 33% of the shares vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and then monthly over the subsequent two-year period. The options issued were valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model under the following assumptions: stock price - $0.40; strike price - $0.50; expected volatility – 72%; risk free interest rate – 1.59%; dividend rate – 0%; and expected term – 3.49 years.

NOTE 13 – LEASES

 

A lease is defined as a contract that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 842 and it primarily affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which the Company is the lessee.

 

All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases, and as such, were previously not recognized on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. With the adoption of Topic 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as right-of-use (ROU) assets and corresponding lease liabilities.

 

On May 25, 2020, the Company recognized ROU assets of $19,393 and lease liabilities of approximately $19,393. The Company elected to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities arising from short-term office leases, leases with initial terms of twelve months or less (deemed immaterial) on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

ROU assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

 

20 

 

 

When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Company discounted lease payments using its estimated incremental borrowing rate at May 25, 2020. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 5.77%. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s leases had a remaining weighted average term of 2 years.

 

Rent expense amounted to approximately $5,420 and $13,252 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $6,417 and $6,417 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

 

The following table presents net lease cost and other supplemental lease information:

 

  

Six Months Ended

June 30, 2020

 
Lease cost     
 Operating lease cost (cost resulting from lease payments)  $1,591 
 Short term lease cost   14,857 
 Sublease income   - 
Net lease cost  $16,448 
      
Operating lease – operating cash flows (fixed payments)  $1,591 
Operating lease – operating cash flows (liability reduction)  $1,407 
Non-current leases – right of use assets  $17,901 
Current liabilities – operating lease liabilities  $4,304 
Non-current liabilities – operating lease liabilities  $13,682 

 

Future minimum payments under non-cancelable leases for operating leases for the remaining terms of the leases following the six months ended June 30, 2020, are as follows:

 

Fiscal Year  Operating Leases 
2020 (excluding the six months ended June 30, 2020)  $4,772 
2021   9,543 
2022   4,772 
Total future minimum lease payments   19,087 
Amount representing interest   (1,101)
Present value of net future minimum lease payments  $17,986 

 

NOTE 14 – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

 

Cash Deposits

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $1,139,000 and $1,377,000, respectively, in excess of the FDIC insured limit.

NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On July 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Clear Skies Security, LLC (“Clear Skies”) and its equity holders. Pursuant to the SPA, all of Clear Skies’ outstanding equity securities were acquired by the Company in exchange for the issuance of 2,330,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On July 27, 2020, the Company granted options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $2.00 to an employee under the Company’s 2019 Equity Plan.

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States and the World. The Company continues to monitor the outbreak of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, in addition to the impact on its employees. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company’s operations and liquidity is uncertain as of the date of this report. While there could ultimately be a material impact on operations and liquidity of the Company, at the time of issuance, the impact could not be determined.

These risks and factors include, by way of example and without limitation:

 

our ability to achieve and sustain profitability of the existing lines of business through expansion;
our ability to raise sufficient capital to acquire world-class engineer-owned cybersecurity companies;
our ability to attract and retain world-class cybersecurity talent;

Corporate History

 

Cerberus Cyber Sentinel Corporation (“Cerberus Sentinel”) was formed on March 5, 2019 as a Delaware corporation. Our principal offices are located at 7333 E. Doubletree, Suite D270, Scottsdale, Arizona 85258.

 

Effective April 1, 2019, we acquired GenResults. GenResults was established on June 22, 2015. Prior to our acquisition of GenResults, GenResults was wholly owned by an entity affiliated with David G. Jemmett, our Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company. As of December 31, 2019, GenResults is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cerberus Sentinel. Due to the companies being under common control, the Company accounted for the acquisition as a reorganization.

 

On April 12, 2019, we consummated a transaction whereby VCAB Six Corporation, a Texas corporation, (“VCAB”) merged with and into us (the “VCAB Merger”). At the time of the VCAB Merger, VCAB was subject to a bankruptcy proceeding and had minimal assets, no equity owners and no liabilities, except for approximately 1,500 holders of Class 5 Allowed General Unsecured Claims and a holder of allowed administrative expenses (collectively the “Claim Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the VCAB Merger, and in accordance with the bankruptcy plan, we issued an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Plan Shares”) to the Claim Holders as full settlement and satisfaction of their respective claims. As provided in the bankruptcy plan, the Plan Shares were issued pursuant to Section 1145 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the VCAB Merger, the separate corporate existence of VCAB was terminated. We entered into the merger in order to increase our shareholder base and in order to, among other things, assist us in satisfying the listing standards of a national securities exchange.

 

Effective as of October 1, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “TalaTek Merger”) pursuant to which TalaTek became our wholly owned subsidiary. Under the TalaTek Merger, all issued and outstanding units representing membership interests in TalaTek were converted into an aggregate of 6,200,000 shares of our common stock.

 

Effective May 25, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Techville, 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 converted into an aggregate of 3,392,271 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Business Overview

 

We are a security consulting company comprised of highly trained security professionals who work with clients to create a continuously aware security culture. We do not sell cybersecurity products. We position ourselves 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 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 businesses 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.

25 

 

 

Penetration testing: We offer network and application level penetration testing performed through industry tools and verified by certified security experts. At the network level, we conduct network scans for clients at pre-defined intervals based on their preference. Subsequent automatic scans are performed at the same IP address. We also make further attempts to exploit any vulnerability found by the network scan to eliminate false positives. At the application level, we utilize techniques such as parameter tampering, cookie poisoning, session hijacking, user privilege escalation, credential manipulation, forceful browsing, backdoors and debug options, configuration subversion, input validation bypass, SQL injection, and cross-site scripting to assess the application for known vulnerabilities.

 

SOC services: We offer SOC-as-a-service, which is a subscription-based service that manages and monitors client’s logs, devices, clouds, network and assets for possible cyber threats. This service provides the clients with the knowledge and skills necessary to combat cybersecurity threats.

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).

 

34 

 

 

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.

 

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 there are payments 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.

 

36 

 

 

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.

 

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.

 

New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Any new and recently adopted accounting pronouncements are more fully described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements herein for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not Applicable. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required 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”)) 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 officer and principal 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.

 

37 

 

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal 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 officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness(es) in internal control over financial reporting disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

 

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.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

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, 2020 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors included in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020, in addition to other information contained in those reports and in this quarterly report in evaluating the Company and its business before purchasing shares of our common stock. The Company’s business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected due to any of those risks. In addition:

 

A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease in the United States or elsewhere may adversely affect our business.

 

If a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease occurs in the United States or elsewhere, our business may be adversely affected. The spread of COVID-19 has caused many countries around the world to impose quarantines and restrictions on travel and mass gatherings to slow the spread of the virus. Employers (including us) are also required to prepare and increase, as much as possible, the capacity and arrangement for employees to work remotely. In addition, on March 11, 2020, the President of the United States issued a proclamation to restrict travel to the United States from foreign nationals who have recently been in certain European countries. We are still assessing the effect on our business, from the spread of COVID-19 and the actions implemented by the government of the United States and elsewhere across the globe.

 

The spread of an infectious disease, including COVID-19, may also result in a period of business disruption, and in reduced operations, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business, and the business of our clients, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others.

 

38 

 

 

The COVID-19 outbreak and mitigation measures also have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on global economic conditions which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts our business and operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain its impact.

 

We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.

 

As our business plan and strategies develop, we must add additional managerial, operational, financial and other personnel. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including:

 

identifying, recruiting, integrating, maintaining, and motivating additional personnel;
managing our internal development efforts effectively, including those of our current and future acquirees, while complying with our contractual obligations to contractors and other third parties; and
improving our operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems, and procedures.

 

Our future financial performance will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage any future growth, which might be impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, and our management may also have to divert a disproportionate amount of its attention away from day-to-day activities in order to devote a substantial amount of time to managing these growth activities. This lack of long-term experience working together may adversely impact our senior management team’s ability to effectively manage our business and growth.

 

We currently rely, and for the foreseeable future will continue to rely, in substantial part on certain independent organizations, advisors and consultants to provide certain services. There can be no assurance that the services of these independent organizations, advisors and consultants will continue to be available to us on a timely basis when needed, or that we can find qualified replacements. In addition, if we are unable to effectively manage our outsourced activities or if the quality or accuracy of the services provided by consultants is compromised for any reason, we may not be able to advance our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to manage our existing consultants or find other competent outside contractors and consultants on economically reasonable terms, if at all. If we are not able to effectively expand our organization by hiring new employees and expanding our groups of consultants and contractors, we may not be able to successfully implement the tasks necessary to further scale our business or effectively integrate acquisitions.

 

These and other risks associated with our operations may materially adversely affect our ability to attain or maintain profitable operations.
