NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Nature of the Business

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

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

Corporate and Acquisition History

We were formed on March 5, 2019 as a Delaware corporation. Our principal offices are located at 6900 East Camelback Road, Suite 240, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251.

On 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 our company. Due to the companies being under common control, we 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 VCAB Merger to increase our stockholder base to, among other things, assist us in satisfying the listing standards of a national securities exchange.

On October 1, 2019, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with TalaTek (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.

On October 2, 2019, we filed a registration statement on Form 10-12G with the SEC to effect registration of our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, under the Exchange Act. The registration statement became effective on December 1, 2019.

On May 25, 2020, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Techville and its sole shareholder, pursuant to which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Techville.

On August 1, 2020, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Clear Skies and its equity holders, pursuant to which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Clear Skies.

On December 16, 2020, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Alpine and its sole member, pursuant to which Alpine became our wholly owned subsidiary.

On October 1, 2021, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with ATS, ATE, James Montagne as the sole shareholder of ATS, and James Montagne and Miriam Montagne, as the sole shareholders of ATE.

On October 8, 2021, we entered into a merger agreement with RED74 and Ticato Holdings, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Ticato”), and Tim Coleman, as sole shareholder of Ticato. Tim Coleman and Ticato were the sole shareholders of RED74.

On July 26, 2021, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with VelocIT, pursuant to which VelocIT became a wholly owned subsidiary of our company.

On December 1, 2021, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Arkavia and all of the owners of Arkavia, pursuant to which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Arkavia.

On January 5, 2022, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “True Digital Stock Purchase Agreement”) with certain stockholders of True Digital and an agreement and plan of merger (the “True Digital Merger Agreement”) with True Digital and certain of its other stockholders. On January 19, 2022, the transactions contemplated by the True Digital Stock Purchase Agreement and the True Digital Merger Agreement were consummated, with True Digital becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of our company.

On January 18, 2022, we completed a $10,300,000 underwritten public offering of shares of our common stock, pursuant to which an aggregate of 2,060,000 shares of our common stock were issued (see Note 9). In addition, we granted the underwriter warrants to purchase an aggregate of 144,200 shares of our common stock (see Note 10). We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund acquisitions, sales, marketing, and general corporate purposes. In connection with the public offering, our common stock was listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

Liquidity

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and satisfying liabilities in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $51,955,033 and working capital surplus of $3,202,490. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a loss from operations of $7,911,569 and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $3,015,795. Although we are showing positive revenue, gross profit is trending negatively primarily due to increased stock compensation related to sales activity, we expect to incur further losses through the end of 2022.

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

Although we expect that we will need to raise additional capital for future acquisitions, based on our current cash resources and commitments, we believe we will be able to maintain our current planned development and corresponding level of expenditure for at least 12 months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, although no assurance can be given that we 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 statements as of March 31, 2022, and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 our 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 months ended March 31, 2022, 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 (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, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022.

Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021, to conform to the financial statements presentation for the three months ended March 31, 2022. 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

We believe the critical accounting policies discussed below affects our 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 option pricing model, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, share price, and expected dividend rate.

Revenue

Our revenue is derived from two major types of services to clients: security managed services and professional services. With respect to security managed services, we provide 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 professional services, we provide cybersecurity consulting, compliance auditing, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, and disaster recovery and data backup solutions.

Disaggregated Revenue

Revenue consisted of the following by service offering for the three months ended March 31, 2022:

 SCHEDULE OF DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUES

Revenue consisted of the following by service offering for the three months ended March 31, 2021:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. We periodically assess our accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. We provide for allowances for doubtful receivables based on management’s estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and any other factors considered appropriate. Payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice. We write off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our allowance for doubtful accounts was $91,707 and $77,811, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally between three and five years. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of the assets are capitalized and depreciated.

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

Inventory

Inventory consists of software licenses and computer equipment for sale to customers. Inventory is measured using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and stated at lower of cost or net realizable value as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The value of inventories is reduced for excess and obsolete inventories. We monitor inventory to identify events that would require impairment due to obsolete inventory and adjusts the value of inventory when required. We recorded no inventory impairment losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation, to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. During the three ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we did not record a loss on impairment.

Intangible Assets

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

Goodwill

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

Advertising and Marketing Costs

We expense advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses were $155,341 and $45,227 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are recorded in operating expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value Measurements

As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 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. All outstanding convertible notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, the options and shares issuable upon conversion thereof have been excluded from our computation of net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

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 our 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

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

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

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

Leases

Leases in which we are the lessee are comprised of corporate offices and property and equipment. All of the leases are classified as operating leases. We lease multiple office spaces with a remaining weighted average term of 2.21 years. We lease a vehicle with a remaining term of 0.25 years.

In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, we recognized a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and corresponding lease liability on our 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 our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Deferred Revenue

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

Deferred revenue consisted of the following:

 SCHEDULE OF DEFERRED REVENUE

Foreign Currency

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

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Gain

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

Income Taxes

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

We utilize ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, our net deferred tax asset has been fully reserved.

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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

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

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

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

On January 5, 2022, we entered into True Digital Stock Purchase Agreement with certain stockholders of True Digital and the True Digital Merger Agreement with True Digital and certain of its other stockholders. On January 19, 2022, the transactions contemplated by the True Digital Stock Purchase Agreement and the True Digital Merger Agreement were consummated, with True Digital becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of our company (the “True Digital Acquisition”). True Digital’s outstanding common stock was exchanged for the right to receive an aggregate of $6,153,000 in cash and 8,229,000 shares of our common stock, subject to a 10% holdback. In the event that no claim is made by a Cerberus Indemnitee (as defined in the Merger Agreement) within one year from closing, then we shall pay the entire amount of the 10% holdback to the shareholders of True Digital.

Subsequent to the issuance of these financial statements, we expect to obtain a third-party valuation on the fair value of the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and the liabilities assumed for use in the purchase price allocation.

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:

The amount outstanding at March 31, 2022 is $1,161,718 and is considered short-term and non-interest bearing.

Note 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

2019 Equity Incentive Plan

Our board of directors approved our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) on June 6, 2019, and our stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock approved and adopted the 2019 Plan. The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under the 2019 Plan is 25,000,000 shares. The 2019 Plan has a term of ten years from the date it was adopted. Shares issued under the 2019 Plan shall be made available from (i) authorized but unissued shares of common stock, (ii) common stock held in our treasury, or (iii) previously issued shares of common stock reacquired by us, including shares purchased on the open market.

Warrant and Option Valuation

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

Options

We granted options for the purchase of 6,025,815 shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

We granted options for the purchase of 900,000 shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

In applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model to stock options granted, we used the following assumptions:

 SCHEDULE OF STOCK OPTIONS ASSUMPTIONS

The following table summarize stock option activity:

 SCHEDULE OF STOCK OPTIONS ACTIVITY

 SUMMARY OF 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 $4,687,093 and $838,762 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we attributed $2,121,583 and $2,565,510 of compensation expense related to the options to cost of payroll and selling, general, and administrative expenses, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we attributed $100,925 and $737,837 of compensation expense related to the options to cost of payroll and selling, general, and administrative expenses, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, there was future compensation expense of $46,517,161 with a weighted average recognition period of 2.20 years related to the options.

The aggregate intrinsic value totaled $105,004,192 and $85,717,281, for total outstanding and exercisable options, respectively, and was based on our estimated fair value of the common stock of $5.32 as of March 31, 2022, 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

All of our 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 19, 2022, we recognized additional ROU assets and lease liabilities of $226,942. We 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 we will exercise that option.

When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, we discounted lease payments using our estimated incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2022. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 6%. As of March 31, 2022, our leases had a remaining weighted average term of 2.21 years.

Operating leases are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:

Our Business

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

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

First Quarter Fiscal 2022 Highlights
