NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2019 AND 2018

(UNAUDITED)

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CynergisTek, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “CynergisTek”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 27, 2019.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly our financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods presented. The results for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. As a result, actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CynergisTek and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Based on our integration strategies, and an analysis of how our Chief Operating Decision Makers review, manage and are compensated, we have determined that the Company operates as one segment. As described in Note 17, we sold the MPS business on March 20, 2019. For the periods presented, all revenues were derived from domestic operations.

We have performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date of filing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with the SEC.

Certain balances have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

2.RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard on leasing. The new standard requires companies to record most leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, and also proposed a dual model for recognizing expense. The Company adopted the standard as of January 1, 2019, with retroactive reporting for prior periods (the comparative option). Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities of $808,841 and $683,797, respectively, as of January 1, 2018, with the difference due to deferred rent that were reclassified to the ROU asset value. The standard did not affect our consolidated net income or cash flows. See Note 6 for further details.

In August 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which is intended to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statement of cash flows. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years

Table of Contents

with early adoption permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. Adoption of these accounting changes did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. This guidance was effective for the Company beginning in 2019. Adoption of these accounting changes did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued a new accounting standard simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. Currently, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with the carrying value of the reporting unit (identified as "Step 1"). If the fair value of the reporting unit is lower than its carrying amount, then the implied fair value of goodwill is calculated. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than the carrying value of goodwill an impairment is recognized (identified as "Step 2"). The new standard eliminates Step 2 from the impairment test; therefore, a goodwill impairment will be recognized as the difference of the fair value and the carrying value. The new standard becomes effective on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2019.This new standard has no impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2017, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in ASC Topic 718. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in 2019. Adoption of these accounting changes did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance that expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning in 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of these accounting changes did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments related to the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this guidance and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. We do not anticipate adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Our incremental costs of obtaining a contract, which consist of sales commissions, are deferred and amortized over the period of contract performance. Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the modified retrospective method of the new revenue recognition pronouncement. Deferred commissions are included in prepaid and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We had $991,766 and $849,975 of unamortized deferred commissions as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We had $256,553 and $47,030 of commissions expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

6.LEASES

We lease approximately 17,000 square feet of office space at 27271 Las Ramblas, Suite 200, Mission Viejo, California. This lease terminates in April 2021. During the first quarter of 2019, we subleased this space to two subtenants. The terms of these subleases end concurrently with the end of our lease obligation in April 2021.We also lease approximately 3,600 square feet of office space at 11410 Jollyville Road, Suite 2201, Austin, Texas. This lease terminates in September 2019. During the first quarter of 2018, we subleased this space to a subtenant. The terms of this sublease ends concurrently with the end of our lease obligation in September 2019. We also lease approximately 9,600 square feet of office space at 11940 Jollyville Road, Austin, Texas. This lease terminates in May 31, 2020. Operating lease expense totaled $158,642 and $184,482 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

We used a discount rate of 5.5% as of January 1, 2018 in determining our operating lease liability. This rate represented our incremental borrowing rate at that time. Short-term leases with initial terms of twelve months or less are not capitalized.

We also lease certain office equipment under a finance lease arrangement.

Maturities of lease liabilities are as follows:

	Operating Leases	Finance Leases

9.LINE OF CREDIT AND TERM LOAN

On January 13, 2017, as part of the acquisition of CTEK Security, Inc. (formerly CynergisTek, Inc.), we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”). The A&R Credit Agreement amended a loan and security agreement originally entered into on May 4, 2012, as amended by several amendments. Under the A&R Credit Agreement, the term of the revolving line-of-credit was available through January 13, 2019, at an interest rate of prime plus 1.0% per annum. The amount available to us at any given time was the lesser of (a) $5.0 million, or (b) the amount available under our borrowing base (80% of our eligible accounts receivable, minus (1) accrued client lease payables, and minus (2) accrued equipment pool liability). The A&R Credit Agreement provided a term loan facility for $14,000,000.

There were no borrowings on the line of credit for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Interest charges associated with this term loan totaled $133,914 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Debt Restructuring

On March 12, 2018, we entered into a Credit Agreement (together with the other related documents defined therein, the “Credit Agreement”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A., a national banking association (“Bank”), as lender (the “BMO Loan”).

The purposes of the BMO Loan were (1) to refinance and replace the facilities under the A&R Credit Agreement, thus terminating that agreement as of March 12, 2018, (2) to refinance $2,250,000 of a promissory note held by Michael McMillan (the “McMillan Seller Note”), (3) to finance payments to Michael Hernandez, including the full repayment of a promissory note held by Hernandez (the “Hernandez Seller Note”) in the original principal amount of $4,500,000, also issued as part of the Original SPA, (4) to finance working capital, (5) for general corporate purposes and (6) to fund certain fees and expenses associated with the closing of the BMO Loan.

Term Loan: Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Bank agreed to provide a term loan in the amount of $17,250,000 to the Company, which was paid in accordance with the purpose of the BMO Loan as described above. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company could elect that the term loan be outstanding as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. The term loan was payable in principal payment installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing on June 30, 2018. All principal and interest not sooner paid on the term loan was due and payable on September 12, 2022, the final maturity thereof.

Revolving Line of Credit: Additionally, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Bank agreed to provide a revolving loan or loans to the Company in an aggregate amount of up to $5,000,000 with a $500,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company could elect that each borrowing of revolving loans be either Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. Each revolving loan, both for principal and interest then outstanding, matured and was due and payable on March 12, 2020, or such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement) was terminated in whole pursuant to the Credit Agreement. There were no borrowings on the line of credit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.

Beginning June 30, 2018, we were required to maintain certain financial covenants in connection with this credit agreement, including a total leverage ratio, a senior leverage ratio, and a fixed charge coverage ratio. These covenants contain ratios which changed over relevant periods of the credit agreement and could be found in Section 7.13 of the Credit Agreement.

Interest Rates

Base rate loans (“Base Rate Loans”) bear interest at an annual rate equal to the base rate (defined as the highest of (a) the rate of interest quoted in The Wall Street Journal, Money Rates Section as the prime rate in effect on such day, with any change in the Base Rate resulting from a change in such prime rate to be effective as of the date of the relevant change in such prime rate, (b) the sum of (i) the rate determined by the Bank to be the average of the rates per annum quoted to the Bank by two or more Federal funds brokers selected by the Bank for sale to the Bank at face value of Federal funds in the secondary market in an amount equal or comparable to the principal amount for which such rate is being determined, plus (ii) 1/2 of 1%, and (c) the overnight LIBOR rate plus 1.0%) plus an applicable margin of between 1.50% and 2.50%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio.

Eurodollar loans (“Eurodollar Loans”) bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Adjusted LIBOR rate (defined as the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the LIBOR index rate by (b) the maximum reserve percentage, expressed as a decimal, at which reserves are imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) on “eurocurrency liabilities,” as defined in such Board’s Regulation D (or any successor thereto), subject to any amendments of such reserve requirement by such Board or its successor, taking into account any transitional adjustments thereto) plus an applicable margin of between 2.50% and 3.50%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio.

On March 12, 2018, we paid a $25,000 revolving loan commitment fee associated with the line of credit.

Interest charges associated with the BMO term loan totaled $207,903 and $50,217 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In addition, on March 12, 2018, we paid a $86,250 commitment fee associated with the term loan.

On March 20, 2019, we used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the assets of CTEK Solutions business to fully repay the balance of the term loan in the amount of $15,456,984 plus interest of $52,760. At that time, the Revolving Credit Commitment was terminated.

10.PROMISSORY NOTES

In connection with the acquisition of CTEK Security, Inc. (formerly CynergisTek, Inc.), we issued two promissory notes totaling $9,000,000 to Hernandez and McMillan (the “Seller Notes”), with each of the Seller Notes having an initial principal amount of $4,500,000. These Seller Notes bear interest at 8% per annum, require quarterly interest-only payments during the first 12 months, quarterly payments of principal and interest during the last 24 months,

Table of Contents

using a 36-month amortization period commencing from that point, with a balloon payment due on the maturity date. Amounts due and owing under the Seller Notes are subordinate to the right of payment due under the A&R Credit Agreement pursuant to the Subordination Agreement. The Company had the right to prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Seller Notes, provided that such prepayment is accompanied by accrued interest on the amount of principal prepaid, calculated to the date of such prepayment.

On March 12, 2018, the Company fully repaid the $4,500,000 plus accrued interest on the Hernandez Seller Note.

As part of the debt restructuring with BMO Harris Bank N.A., on March 12, 2018, the Company repaid $2,250,000 plus accrued interest on the McMillan Seller Note. The Company and Mr. McMillan agreed to amend and restate the McMillan Seller Note pursuant to the A&R McMillan Seller Note. The A&R McMillan Seller Note is in the principal amount of $2,250,000, bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum, provides for quarterly payments of principal and interest and matures on March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the outstanding principal balance due under the A&R McMillan Seller Note was $1,687,500 and $1,828,125, respectively. Amounts due and owing under the A&R McMillan Seller Note are subordinate to the right of payment due under the BMO Loan pursuant to a Subordination Agreement among the Company, the Bank and Mr. McMillan.

Interest charges associated with the Seller Notes totaled $35,106 and $149,425 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, in lieu of any earn-out payments (as described in the Original SPA (as defined below)) that could be earned by Hernandez under the Original SPA, the Company agreed to pay Hernandez the amount of $3,750,000 in the form of a promissory note (the “Earn-out Note”). The Earn-out Note provided for (i) a maturity date of March 12, 2023, at which all principal and accrued and unpaid interest was due, (ii) a simple interest rate of 5% per annum commencing on January 1, 2018, and compounding annually, and (iii) the right of the Company to prepay all or any portion of the Earn-out Note without premium or penalty. On March 26, 2019, we used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the assets of CTEK Solutions business to fully repay the Earn-out Note with interest of $234,293.

Interest charges associated with the Earn-out Note totaled $45,858 and $45,813 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Company also issued a Severance Payment Note to Hernandez in the original principal amount of $343,750 (the “Severance Payment Note”). The Severance Payment Note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum, compounded annually, allowed for prepayment by the Company and matured on January 10, 2019, at which time all principal and accrued and unpaid interest was due.

Interest charges associated with the Severance Payment Note totaled $494 and $4,191 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Amounts due and owing under the Earn-out Note and Severance Payment Note were subordinate to the right of payment due under the BMO Loan pursuant to a Subordination Agreement among the Company, the Bank and Hernandez.

13.NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding during a certain period and is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period, using the as-if-converted method for secured convertible notes, and the treasury stock method for options and warrants. Diluted net income (loss) per share does not include potentially dilutive securities because such inclusion in the computation would be anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, potentially dilutive securities consisted of options and warrants to purchase 583,865 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $2.28 to $4.05 per share and 780,850 shares of restricted stock units. Of these potentially dilutive securities, 209,904 of the shares of common stock underlying the options and warrants are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of including the remaining instruments would be anti-dilutive. Also included in potentially dilutive securities are 47,455 shares of restricted stock units which vested in March 2019 but had not been issued by period end.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, potentially dilutive securities consisted of options and warrants to purchase 280,416 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.90 to $6.45 per share and 500,500 shares of restricted stock units. Of these potentially dilutive securities, none of the shares to purchase common stock from the options and warrants or shares related to the restricted stock units are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of including these instruments would be anti-dilutive.

14.REMAINING PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS

Remaining performance obligations represent the amount of revenue from fixed-fee contracts, including those which have potential early cancellation provisions, for which work has not been performed. As of March 31, 2019, approximately $25,000,000 of revenue from fixed-fee contracts is expected to be recognized from these remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 87% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 24 months, with the balance thereafter. We elected to utilize the practical expedient exemption to exclude from this disclosure, the amount of revenue from contracts which are not fixed-fee and where we do not have the right to invoice until the services have been performed.

15.EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Michael H. McMillan

In January 2017, we entered into an employment agreement with Michael H. McMillan (“McMillan”) (the “McMillan Employment Agreement”), pursuant to which we employed McMillan as President and Chief Strategy Officer of the Company. The initial term of the McMillan Employment Agreement is 36 months and will automatically renew for subsequent 12-month terms unless either party provides written notice to the other party of a desire to not renew the agreement.

Pursuant to the McMillan Employment Agreement, the Company has the right to terminate McMillan’s employment without cause at any time on thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to McMillan. Additionally, McMillan has the right to resign for “Good Reason” (as defined in the McMillan Employment Agreement) on thirty (30) days’ written notice. In the event of (i) such termination without cause, or (ii) McMillan’s inability to perform the essential functions of his position due to a mental or physical disability or his death, or (iii) McMillan’s resignation for Good Reason, McMillan is entitled to receive the base salary then in effect and full target annual bonus, prorated to the date of termination, and a “Severance Payment” equivalent to (a) payment of compensation for an additional twelve months, payable as a lump sum, and (b) the acceleration of all unvested stock options and warrants then held by McMillan, subject to certain conditions set forth in the McMillan Employment Agreement. If McMillan resigns for other than Good Reason, he will be entitled to receive the base salary for the thirty (30) day written notice period, but no other amounts. On October 2, 2017, the Board appointed McMillan as Chief Executive Officer and his base salary was increased to $325,000.

In February 2018, the Company amended the McMillan Employment Agreement to extend the term thereof through December 31, 2020 and increased his base salary to $334,700 for 2018, $359,700 for 2019, and the 2020 base salary to be determined by the Board of Directors at the end of the 2019 calendar year. He will also be eligible for a bonus of up to $219,375 and $242,798 in 2018 and 2019, respectively, and his 2020 bonus will be up to 67.5% of his base salary. The foregoing is a summary of the McMillan Employment Agreement, the full context of which is found as Exhibit 99.6 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 17, 2017, and the amendment to the McMillan Employment Agreement, which is found as Exhibit 10.44 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2018.

Paul T. Anthony

Effective January 1, 2016, we entered into an employment agreement with Paul T. Anthony (the “Anthony Agreement”). The Anthony Agreement provides that Mr. Anthony will continue to serve as our Executive Vice President, CFO and Corporate Secretary. The Anthony Agreement has a term of two years and provided for an annual base salary of $245,000. The Anthony Agreement will automatically renew for subsequent twelve (12) month terms unless either party provides advance written notice to the other that such party does not wish to renew the agreement for a subsequent twelve (12) months. Mr. Anthony also receives the customary employee benefits available to our employees. Mr. Anthony was also entitled to receive a bonus of up to $132,000 per year, the achievement of which is based on Company performance metrics. We may terminate Mr. Anthony’s employment under the Anthony Agreement without cause at any time on thirty (30) days advance written notice, at which time Mr. Anthony would receive severance pay for twelve months and be fully vested in all options and warrants granted to date. The foregoing is a summary of the Anthony Agreement, the full context of which is found as Exhibit 10.32 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016. In March 2017, the Board of Directors

Table of Contents

authorized an increase in Mr. Anthony’s base salary to $250,000 and increased his potential annual bonus amount to $150,000.

In February 2018, the Company amended the Anthony Agreement to extend the term thereof through December 31, 2020 and increased his base salary to $284,700 for 2018, and $309,700 for 2019, with the 2020 base salary to be determined by the Board of Directors at the end of the 2019 calendar year. He will also be eligible for a bonus of up to $185,625 and $209,047 in 2018 and 2019, respectively, and his 2020 bonus will be up to 67.5% of his base salary. The foregoing is a summary of the Anthony Agreement, the full context of which is found as Exhibit 10.32 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016, and the amendment to the Anthony Agreement, which is found as Exhibit 10.45 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2018.

16.CONCENTRATIONS

Cash Concentrations

At times, cash balances held in financial institutions are in excess of federally insured limits. Management performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of financial institutions and limits the amount of risk by selecting financial institutions with a strong credit standing.

Major Customers

Our largest customer accounted for approximately 25% and 14% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our largest customer had accounts receivable totaling approximately $1,200,000 and $400,000 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

17.DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 20, 2019, we, along with our wholly-owned subsidiary, CTEK Solutions, Inc., entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (together with the other related documents defined therein, the “Purchase Agreement”) with Vereco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we sold our assets used in the provision of our managed print services business division (the “MPS Business”), which had been primarily conducted by CTEK Solutions, Inc. The Buyer also assumed certain liabilities relating to the MPS Business. The purchase price paid to us by Buyer pursuant to the Purchase Agreement was $30,000,000, $5,000,000 of which was placed in escrow by Buyer, the release of which is contingent upon certain events and conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on closing working capital results of the MPS Business. The initial working capital adjustment reduced the cash received by $629,746.

The following is the summary of the transaction selling the MPS Business:

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis, including those estimates related to customer programs and incentives, product returns, bad debts, supplies, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. As a result, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We consider the following accounting policies to be most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and those that require the most subjective judgment:

·Revenue recognition and deferred revenue

We operate under a consolidated strategy and management structure, deriving revenue from the following sources:

oManaged services

oConsulting and professional services

oHardware and software resales

Revenue is recognized pursuant to ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASC 606). Accordingly, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. This principle is applied using the following 5-step process:

1.Identify the contract with the customer

2.Identify the performance obligations in the contract

3.Determine the transaction price

4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

5.Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied

Managed Services

Managed services revenue is earned monthly during the term of the contract, as services and supplies are provided at a fixed fee and is recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the commencement date of the contract. Managed services contracts are typically long-term contracts lasting 3 to 5 years.

Consulting and Professional Services

Consulting and professional services contracts are typically short-term, project-based services rendered on either a fixed fee or a time and materials basis. These contracts are normally for a duration of less than one year. For fixed

Table of Contents

fee arrangements, revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the project. For time and materials arrangements, revenues are recognized as the services are rendered.

Hardware and Software Resales

For hardware and software resales, we recognize revenue on a gross basis, as we are deemed to be the primary obligor in these arrangements. Revenue from the resale of hardware is recognized when delivered to the customer. For software resales, when we do not provide any services that are considered essential to the functionality of the software, revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software. All product warranties and upgrades or enhancements are provided exclusively by the manufacturer. We do not sell any internally-developed software.

For hardware and software maintenance arrangements, we recognize revenue at the time of sale on a net basis, as a third-party service provider is deemed to be the primary obligor. Under net sales recognition, the cost of the third-party service provider or vendor is recorded as a direct reduction to net revenues on the statements of operations.

Deferred and Unbilled Revenue

We receive payments from customers based on billing schedules established in our contracts. Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of the amount of revenue recognized and such amounts are recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. Unbilled revenue reflects our conditional right to receive payment from customers for our completed performance under contracts.

·Accounts receivable valuation and related reserves

We estimate the losses that may result from that portion of our accounts receivable that may not be collectible as a result of the inability of our customers to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes customer concentration, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. We review past due accounts on a monthly basis and record an allowance for doubtful accounts where we deem appropriate.

·Impairment review of goodwill and intangible assets

We periodically evaluate our intangible assets and goodwill relating to acquisitions for impairment. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated at least annually at year end for any impairment in the carrying value. We review our intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, the following: significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business; and a significant negative industry or economic trend for a sustained period. Goodwill and intangible asset impairment assessments are generally determined based on fair value techniques, including determining the estimated future discounted and undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset. Those models require estimates of future revenue, profits, capital expenditures and working capital for each reporting unit. We estimate these amounts by evaluating historical trends, the current state of the Company’s industries and the economy, current budgets, and operating plans. Determining the fair value of reporting units and goodwill includes significant judgment by management and different judgments could yield different results. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

·Stock-based compensation

Under the fair value recognition provisions of the authoritative guidance, stock-based compensation cost granted to employees is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service or performance period, which is the vesting period. Stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services to be provided to us are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. We currently use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our

Table of Contents

stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, the expected term of the award, the risk-free interest rate and any expected dividends. Compensation cost associated with grants of restricted stock units are also measured at fair value. We evaluate the assumptions used to value restricted stock units on a quarterly basis. When factors change, including the market price of the stock, share-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what has been recorded in the past. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, we may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned share-based compensation expense.

·Income taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial reporting requirements and those imposed under federal and state tax laws. Deferred taxes are provided for timing differences in the recognition of revenue and expenses for income tax and financial reporting purposes and 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. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019, Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Revenue

Revenue increased by approximately $1,400,000 to $5,773,657 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018 as we have intensified our sales efforts, expanded our service offerings and benefitted from our customers need for additional professional services. This increase is a result of an approximately $500,000 increase in multi-year managed service revenues and approximately $900,000 in additional revenues from consulting and professional services provided to new and existing customers, largely from professional staffing services contracts.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries and related expenses of direct labor and indirect support staff. Cost of revenue was $3,484,639 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $2,408,780 for the same period in 2018. We incurred approximately $800,000 more in salaries and related costs, approximately $100,000 more in stock compensation, and approximately $200,000 in contract labor. These increases were due to increased headcount in order to provide services to a larger customer base, to support new services and our efforts to augment the employee salary and benefit offerings to attract and retain talent.

Gross margin was 40% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and 45% for the same period in 2018. The reduction in gross margin is reflective of our investment in attracting and retaining talented cyber security employees and costs associated with ramping up new services. Over the next few quarters, we expect gross margins to improve as we look to grow our cyber security consulting services.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses include salaries, commissions and expenses for sales and marketing personnel, travel and entertainment, and other selling and marketing costs. Sales and marketing expenses were $1,481,383 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $1,367,871 for the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily a result of increases in sales commissions earned as a result of an increase in bookings for the compared periods.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses include personnel costs for finance, administration, information systems, and general management, as well as facilities expenses, professional fees, legal expenses and other administrative costs. General and administrative expenses decreased by $515,658 to $1,653,633 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $2,169,291 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease is due to approximately $600,000 in severance paid to a departed executive in 2018. This is partially offset by an increase in stock compensation expense of approximately $100,000 as a result of an increase in the issuance of restricted stock units to key employees and board members.

Depreciation

Depreciation remained steady at $38,985 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $35,064 for the same period in 2018.

Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangibles

Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles remained the same at $452,734 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The composition of identified intangible assets was consistent over the compared periods and there was no impairment affecting these assets.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $295,905, compared to $399,733 for the same period in 2018. The decrease was due to a lower average principal balance on the bank term loan and certain sellers promissory notes for the compared periods, due to scheduled quarterly principal payments. We expect interest expense to decrease substantially in future periods based since we repaid the bank term loan and certain sellers promissory notes in March 2019.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $144,214, compared to income tax benefit of $602,472 for the same period in 2018. These amounts were based on estimated annual income tax rates we anticipate for the year. The 2019 rate is also influenced by the tax rate on the gain on the sale of the MPS company.

Income from Discontinued Operations, Including Gain on Sale, Net of Tax

On March 20, 2019, we sold the net assets of our MPS business. The gain on the sale of this business together with the earnings from these discontinued operations totaled $19,304,463. This compares to the earnings from these discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2018 totaling $1,149,069.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents were $12,386,637 and our working capital was $11,621,383. Our principal cash requirements are for operating expenses, including employee costs and capital expenditures as well as

Table of Contents

debt service to our related party sellers note and income taxes. Our primary sources of cash are revenues from operations and the sale of the MPS business.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, our cash provided by operating activities amounted to $1,148,830, as compared to $647,953 provided by operating activities for the same period in 2018. We have been able to maintain a positive position in providing cash from operations by staying current on collections and selling profitable service contracts.

As discussed above, in March 2019, we sold the MPS business and received initial cash of approximately $24,400,000 upon which we repaid approximately $15,400,000 remaining on a bank term loan. We also repaid approximately $4,200,000 in notes payable to related parties. As a result of the repayment of the term loan to the bank, we terminated the availability of a $5,000,000 line of credit with them. We may seek additional financing or equity raises; however, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Any financing or equity raises may result in dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may include restrictive covenants. Management believes that cash generated from operations, together with existing cash reserves will be sufficient to sustain our business operations over at least the next twelve months.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of March 31, 2019, we did not have any other relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

As of March 31, 2019, expected future cash payments related to contractual obligations and commercial commitments were as follows:

	Payments Due by Period
		Total	Less than 1 year	1-3 years	3-5 years	More than 5 years
Promissory notes		$ 1,907,476	$ 681,010	$ 1,226,466	$ -	$ -
Capital leases		1,013	1,013	-	-	-
Operating leases		1,113,960	619,466	494,494	-	-
Total		$ 3,022,449	$ 1,301,489	$ 1,720,960	$ -	$ -
