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 6900 E. Camelback Road, Suite 240, Scottsdale, AZ 85258.

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

Effective August 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Clear Skies Security, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Clear Skies”), and its equity holders, pursuant to which Clear Skies became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Clear Skies Acquisition”). Under the terms of the Clear Skies Acquisition, all issued and outstanding equity securities in Clear Skies were exchanged for an aggregate of 2,330,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Effective December 16, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Alpine Security, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Alpine”), and its sole member, pursuant to which Alpine became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Alpine Acquisition”). Under the terms of the Alpine Acquisition, all issued and outstanding membership units in Alpine were exchanged for an aggregate of 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Nature of the Business

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

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

Liquidity

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

To date the Company has been funding operations primarily through the sale of equity in private placements and revenues generated by the Company’s services. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company received $3,250,000 from private placements of the Company’s common stock.

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

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information as of June 30, 2021 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2021 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, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021.

Consolidation

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

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 to conform to the financial statements presentation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss or cash flows as previously reported.

Use of Estimates

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

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

Revenue

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

Practical Expedients

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

Disaggregated Revenues

Revenue consists of the following by service offering for the six months ended June 30, 2021:

 SCHEDULE OF DISAGGREGATION OF 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, 2021. Contract modifications are not routine in the performance of the Company’s contracts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company periodically assesses its accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. The Company provides for allowances for doubtful receivables based on management’s estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and any other factors considered appropriate. Payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $55,264 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 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 is removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in results of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

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

Intangible Assets

The Company records its intangible assets at cost in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Finite-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 Note 5).

Advertising and Marketing Costs

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

Fair Value Measurements

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

Net Loss per Common Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All vested outstanding options are considered potentially outstanding common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options is calculated using the treasury stock method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, the options have been excluded from the Company’s computation of net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

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

 SUMMARY OF SECURITIES EXCLUDED FROM DILUTED PER SHARE CALCULATION

Stock-based Compensation

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

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

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

Leases

Leases in which the Company is the lessee are comprised of corporate offices and property and equipment. All of the leases are classified as operating leases. The Company leases multiple office spaces with a remaining weighted average term of 1.42 years. The Company leases a vehicle with a remaining term of 0.92 years.

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

Income Taxes

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

The Company utilizes ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s net deferred tax asset has been fully reserved.

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

SCHEDULE OF STOCK OPTION ACTIVITY

The following table summarizes information about options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2021:

SUMMARY OF OPTIONS TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OUTSTANDING AND EXERCISABLE

The compensation expense attributed to the issuance of the options is recognized ratably over the vesting period.

Options granted under the 2019 Plan are exercisable for a specified period, generally five to ten years from the grant date and generally vest over three to four years from the grant date.

Total compensation expense related to the options was $891,126 and $343,910 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Total compensation expense related to the options was $1,729,888 and $669,339 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, there was future compensation expense of $6,525,546 with a weighted average recognition period of 2.11 years related to the options.

The aggregate intrinsic value totaled $186,672,318 and $95,695,130, for total outstanding and exercisable options, respectively, and was based on the Company’s estimated fair value of the common stock of $8.14 as of June 30, 2021, which is the aggregate fair value of the common stock that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date, net of the aggregate exercise price.

NOTE 12 – 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.

All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. With the adoption of Topic 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities.

On January 1, 2021 and February 1, 2021, the Company recognized additional ROU assets and lease liabilities of $37,932 and $137,826, respectively. The Company elected to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities arising from office 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.

When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Company discounted lease payments using its estimated incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2021. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 6%. As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s leases had a remaining weighted average term of 1.39 years.

Our Business

We are a security services 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 cybersecurity and information technology (“IT”) spending.

Cybersecurity Market

As the world has become increasingly connected through the Internet and the Internet of Things (“IoT”), cyberattacks have prevailed and evolved over the years, in different forms, causing uncontainable threats to the integrity and privacy of enterprise and personal data and resulted in significant economic losses globally.

In response to the increasing economic damage caused by heightened cybersecurity risks, regulatory bodies have pushed the implementation of new cybersecurity legislations, and cyber insurance companies have increased minimum cybersecurity requirements. We believe that we are well positioned in a fast-growing industry to provide businesses with a wide scope of cybersecurity services and with significant opportunities for growth.

Service Offering

We currently offer two major types of services to clients: Managed Services and Consulting Services.

Managed Services

Our Managed Services focus on a holistic approach to cybersecurity based on an upfront gap analysis of our clients’ existing cybersecurity practices. We provide multiple offerings in the managed service portfolio including the following:

Consulting Services

Our consulting services include a wide array of tailored solutions for organizations of all sizes. Our in-depth industry expertise allows us to act as the trusted advisor of our clients to help them lower their risk profile, minimize cost impact to organizations and meet regulatory compliance demands.

Revenues decreased for Cerberus by $216,403, or 40%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, due to one of the Company’s largest customers decreasing its required services as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.
