BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Forian Inc. (the “Company” or “Forian”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 15, 2020 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC (“MOR”) for the purpose of effecting the Business Combination (as defined below). All activity of the Company through March 2, 2021 relates only to MOR. MOR was established on May 6, 2019 in Delaware. MOR Analytics, LLC and COR Analytics, LLC are wholly owned subsidiaries of MOR. The Company provides innovative software solutions, proprietary data and predictive analytics to optimize the operational, clinical and financial performance of its customers within the healthcare and cannabis industries. The Company’s mission is to provide its customers with the best-in-class critical technology services through a single integrated platform that enables its customers to operate their businesses more safely, efficiently and profitably and to serve its customers and its customers’ stakeholders and constituencies more comprehensively. The Company represents the unique convergence of proprietary healthcare and consumer data, innovative data management capabilities and intelligent data science with a leading cannabis technology platform yielding the combined power to drive innovation and transparency across the industries it serves.

On March 2, 2021 (the “Merger Closing Date”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 16, 2020, as amended by Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 30, 2020, as further amended by Amendment No. 2 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 9, 2021 (together, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Helix Technologies, Inc. (“Helix”), the Company and DNA Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into Helix, with Helix being the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Each share of Helix common stock was exchanged for 0.05 shares of Company common stock in the Merger. Helix provides traceability and point of sale technology, analytics solutions and other products to customers within each vertical of the cannabis industry to help them improve the performance of their business.

Immediately prior to the Merger Closing Date, pursuant to the Equity Interest Contribution Agreement, dated March 2, 2021 (the “Contribution Agreement”), by and among the Company, MOR and each equity holder of MOR, such equity holders contributed their interests in MOR to the Company in exchange for shares of Company common stock (the “Contribution” and, together with the Merger, the “Business Combination”). Upon the closing of the Contribution, MOR became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Each unit of MOR was exchanged for 1.7776 shares of Company common stock in the Merger, subject to adjustments pursuant to the Contribution Agreement.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, while the Company is the legal acquirer, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). As such, MOR is deemed to be the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes.

Note 2

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Contribution was completed on March 2, 2021 and the combination of MOR and Forian was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control pursuant to ASC 805-50. Accordingly, the combination of Forian and MOR results in a change in reporting entity and the financial statements are presented as though the combination of Forian and MOR occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented. Additionally, the results of Helix are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on March 2, 2021, the Merger Closing Date.

Note 3

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of (i) Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries COR Analytics, LLC and MOR Analytics, LLC, and (ii) Helix Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Helix TCS, LLC, Security Consultants Group, LLC, Boss Security Solutions, LLC, Security Grade Protective Services, Ltd., Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc, BT UCS, Inc., Engeni LLC (including Engeni S.A., which is 99% owned by Engeni LLC), Green Tree International, Inc. and AIE Exchange Canada, Inc. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial results of Helix and its subsidiaries are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on March 2, 2021, the Merger Closing Date.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses together with amounts disclosed in related notes to the financial statements. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is possible that the external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable; and

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable and accrued liabilities and other liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Credit Risk

The Company considers all cash accounts that are not subject to withdrawal restrictions and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, as cash and cash equivalents.

The Company maintains cash with major financial institutions. Cash held at U.S. bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. The portion of deposits in excess of FDIC coverage is not protected by such insurance and represents a credit risk to the Company. At times, the Company’s deposits exceed this coverage.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.

Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $269,325 and $0 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Management charges account balances against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Long-Lived Assets, Including Definite Lived Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows derived from such assets. Definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships, software technology and trade names. For long-lived assets used in operations, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted, probability-weighted future cash flows. The Company measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value. When an impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value.

Goodwill

Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. The Company reviews goodwill for possible impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for its business combinations under the provisions of ASC Topic 805-10, Business Combinations (“ASC 805-10”), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred. If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, the Company records the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date and any changes in fair value after the acquisition date are accounted for as measurement-period adjustments. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration resulting from events after the acquisition date, such as earn-outs, are recognized as follows: 1) if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, the contingent consideration is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity, or 2) if the contingent consideration is classified as a liability, the changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).

Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. ASC 606-10-32-32 requires the determination of the price at which the Company would sell individual products or services to a customer. The Company does not always have sufficient data or experience related to the terms and pricing for products and services when components are sold on a standalone basis. In instances where insufficient data exists, the Company recognizes the contractual fees ratably over the term of the arrangement. In instances where a customer has limited operating history or the customer has recently been formed, management may determine that it is prudent to recognize only the first year’s fees ratably over the first year of the term, more often than not resulting in the recognition of a lower amount of revenue during the first year. Performance obligations that are distinct and remain undelivered would not be recognized until the end of the contract provided that the consideration is guaranteed. No significant judgements affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue.

In 2020, the revenue generated by the Company was exclusively from Information and Software relating to MOR. In 2021, the Company also began to recognize Information and Software, Services and Other revenues related to its acquisition of Helix on March 2, 2021.

In most Information and Software contracts, payments are scheduled throughout the term and the contract may include one or more of the following performance obligations: (i) the provision of historical and/or current information as agreed upon, (ii) access to the information through a hosting provider, (iii) access to and use of software products (iv) installation and training and (v) access to the Company’s analytical team throughout the term of the agreement, as agreed upon.

Information and Software contracts do not always have distinct pricing assigned to each performance obligation; rather, the price is bundled and the total bundled pricing is invoiced throughout the term of the agreement, with the exception of contracts for software products which provide separate pricing for implementation and training of such products.

The Company recognizes revenue resulting from Information and Software pursuant to agreements under which the Company receives payments for providing the customer access to its products over the contract period. The Company satisfies its performance obligations throughout the term of the contract. Any payments received prior to satisfying performance obligations are deferred and recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied. There are no variable considerations or financing component under such contracts. Prices are typically fixed, but certain contracts can also include royalties in excess of fixed fees. There were $62,500 of royalties in excess of fixed fees for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Invoicing under contracts is set forth in an invoicing schedule as part of the contract and payments are typically due within 30 days.

Services revenues are primarily from contracts with government agencies and revenue is recognized upon completion of the various milestones within the contract. In the event that a contract does not specifically allocate revenue to the satisfaction of specific performance obligations or milestones, the purchase price of the contracts is allocated based on the percentage of time spent, or expected to be spent, to meet each performance obligation. Initial customization of the software to meet state specific requirements and the training to appropriately utilize the software are generally recognized upon completion of the customization and acceptance by the state agency. Support and service revenues are then recognized over a predetermined period of time as defined in the contract. Contract renewals may include an annual service fee that is recognized over the time period defined in the contract.

Other revenues are primarily from security monitoring services offerings and the provision of web marketing services. Contracts for these services have a stated transaction price for monthly services and are recognized as the services are provided.

Contract acquisition costs, which consist of sales commissions paid or payable, are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions for initial and renewal contracts are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. $8,162 and $53,784 of such costs were capitalized as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. There are no significant judgements affecting the determination of the amount and timing of the related revenue.

In the event the Company has not satisfied all performance obligations on its contracts with customers, any amounts of unbilled revenue or excess costs are recorded as contract assets and contract liabilities.

Contract assets result when the cumulative revenue recognized exceeds the cumulative invoicing under a contract. The value of the differential is reflected in Contract assets and represents the value of the revenue that was not billed to customers as of the balance sheet date.

Contract liabilities (“Deferred Revenue”) result when cumulative receipts under a contract for the same performance obligation exceeds the total revenue recognition and such excess is reflected in Deferred Revenue and represents the value of the performance obligations to be satisfied after June 30, 2021.

The following are the contract balances as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021:

Contract assets
Balance at January 1, 2021		$	196,701
Contract assets acquired from Helix			277,088
Add: Revenue recognized from related contract assets			879,097
Less: Contract acquisition costs amortized during the six months ended June 30, 2021			(45,622	)
Less: Payments received during the six months ended June 30, 2021			(724,667	)
Balance at June 30, 2021		$	582,597
Contract liabilities (Deferred Revenue)
Balance at January 1, 2021		$	158,884
Contract liabilities assumed from Helix			320,936
Add: Payments received during the six months ended June 30, 2021			1,410,760
Less: Revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021			(1,231,686	)
Balance at June 30, 2021		$	658,894

Segment Information

ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer, who reviews the financial performance and the results of operations of the segments prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company.

Customer Concentration

The Company did not have any customers that exceeded 10% of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company had a single customer that accounted for 46% and 48% of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company believes that this customer is ultimately replaceable, and any disruption associated with this customer would only have a short-term impact on the business.

Concentration of Vendors

The Company has licensed certain information assets from a third party as a key input to certain of the Company’s Information and Software Products. Licensing fees to this vendor represented less than 10% of the Company’s operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. This vendor is critical to the business. The Company believes that while this vendor is ultimately replaceable, any disruption associated with this vendor could have a material short-term impact on the business.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, which is recorded commencing at the in-service date using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to charge the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, which are 1 to 7 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets annually and whenever events and or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying value. There were no impairment losses recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Software Development Costs

The Company accounts for costs incurred in the development of computer software in accordance with ASC Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software. Costs incurred in the application development stage are subject to capitalization and subsequent amortization and possible impairment. Application development stage costs were not material for the Company. Product development costs are primarily personnel related to activities for design and evaluating software development, testing, bug fixes, and other maintenance activities. Product development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalized software development costs of $266,410 and $0, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Contingencies

Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expenses and amounted to $16,063 and $20,998 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $0 and $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Foreign Currency

The local currency is the functional currency for one entity’s operations outside the United States. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the end of each period. Income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net loss for the period.

Net Loss per Share

Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. At June 30, 2021, the Company had potentially dilutive securities that could be exercised or converted into common stock. Refer to Note 13 for the Company’s disclosure on such potential dilution. Further, as the Company has incurred net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.

Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company will determine the liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares.

Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet (“temporary equity”). The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity.

Initial Measurement

The Company records its financial instruments classified as liability, temporary equity or permanent equity at issuance at the fair value, or cash received.

Subsequent Measurement – Financial instruments classified as liabilities

The Company records the fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities at each subsequent measurement date. The changes in fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities are recorded as other expense/income.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan”) permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock awards and/or restricted stock units. A total of 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan. Stock options represent the right to purchase the Company’s common stock at the exercise price on the date of grant of the stock option at a future date. Restricted stock awards are grants of shares of our common stock. Restricted stock units represent the right to receive shares of our common stock on future specified dates. Stock options, restricted stock awards and units granted contain restrictions that cause them to be subject to substantial risk of forfeiture and restrict their exercise, sale or other transfer by the grantee until they vest. The terms of the stock options, restricted stock awards and units granted under the 2020 Plan are determined by the Board of Directors in the agreement evidencing the award, including the number of shares, period of restriction or vesting schedule and other terms. The fair value of the stock options, restricted stock awards and units is based on the underlying grant date fair value of the Company’s common stock. The fair value is then expensed over the requisite service periods of the awards, net of forfeitures, which is generally the service period and the related amount is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

MOR was organized as a limited liability company and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company upon completion of the Merger with Helix on March 2, 2021. As a result, the Company was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes through March 2, 2021. Accordingly, the Company’s taxable income, deductions, assets and liabilities are reported by the members on their respective income tax returns. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income tax has been made by the Company for all business activity from its inception through March 2, 2021.

After March 2, 2021, the Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has an incurred net operating loss for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the period since March 2, 2021.

Tax contingencies are recorded, if needed, to address potential exposure involving tax positions the Company has taken that could be challenged by tax authorities. These potential exposures could result from applications of various statutes, rules, regulations and interpretations. Any estimates of tax contingencies contain assumptions and judgments about potential actions by taxing jurisdictions. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions would be included as part of the income tax provision. The Company’s conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analysis of or changes in tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof as well as other factors.

The Company has considered all recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

Note 5

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities are stated at estimated fair value based upon current market quotes (level 1 inputs) and are classified as available-for-sale. Realized gains and losses are included in investment income. Unrealized gains and losses are immaterial and therefore the Company has presented such amounts within Investment income in the Statement of Operations. The Company invests in short-term U.S. Treasuries and money market mutual funds. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the fair value of these investments approximated cost.

Note 6

PREPAID EXPENSES

The Company has various agreements which require upfront and periodic payments. The Company records the expenses related to these agreements ratably over the annual terms. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s balance sheet reflected other prepaid expenses of $930,172 and $120,979, respectively, relating to various software licenses and insurance policies with durations ranging from 3 months to 1 year.

Note 7

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, property and equipment were comprised of the following:

Note 8

INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

The following table summarizes the Company’s intangible assets as of June 30, 2021:

		Estimated Useful Life (Years)				Gross Carrying Amount at March 2, 2021				Accumulated Amortization				Net Book Value at 6/30/2021
Customer Relationships			5			$	5,243,000			$	(343,896	)		$	4,899,104
Software Technology			2				1,170,000				(191,855	)			978,145
Software Technology			7				4,109,000				(192,511	)			3,916,489
Tradenames and Trademarks			8				386,000				(15,824	)			370,176
						$	10,908,000			$	(744,086	)		$	10,163,914

The Company uses the straight-line method to determine the amortization expense for its definite lived intangible assets. Amortization expense related to the purchased intangible assets was $567,213 and $744,086 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

The estimated future amortization expense for the next five years and thereafter is as follows:

Note 9

ACCRUED EXPENSES

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accrued expenses were comprised of the following:

Transaction-related accrued expenses are associated with the Merger. See Note 4.

In conjunction with the Merger, outstanding warrants to purchase Helix common stock were converted to warrants to purchase Company common stock. As the warrant holders have the option to receive cash in lieu of common stock in certain circumstances, the Company determined that the warrants require classification as a liability pursuant to ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the outstanding warrants are recognized as a warrant liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are measured at their inception date fair value (the closing date of the Merger) and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period with changes being recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had 97,058 warrants outstanding classified as liabilities.

The fair value of the Company’s warrant liability was calculated using the Black-Scholes model and the following assumptions:

		Amount
Balance as of April 1, 2021		$	624,088
Change in fair value of warrant liability			128,800
Balance as of June 30, 2021		$	752,888

Note 11

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units

Unvested equity interests of MOR were converted into restricted common stock of the Company based upon the Exchange Ratio of 1.7776 Forian shares for each 1 MOR unit, subject to any adjustments required under the Contribution Agreement. The information regarding the 2020 Plan below is presented as though the combination occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented.

The 1,760,551 of unvested awards at June 30, 2021 consists of 404,000 restricted stock units and 1,356,551 shares of restricted stock.

Stock Options

As part of the Merger (see Note 4), the Company assumed the Helix TCS, Inc. Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan and the Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, each as amended, pursuant to which options exercisable at prices between $2.00 and $51.80 per share for 455,089 shares of Company common stock were outstanding. The value attributable to service subsequent to the Merger will be recognized as compensation cost by the Company.

Stock option activity for the period ended June 30, 2021 is as follows:

Helix Stockholder Lawsuits

Beginning on February 16, 2021, four lawsuits were filed by purported Helix stockholders (captioned Dillion v. Helix Technologies, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-01365 (filed February 16, 2021 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York) (the “Dillion Complaint”); Baros v. Helix Technologies, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-01425 (filed February 17, 2021 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York) (the “Baros Complaint”); Anderson v. Helix Technologies, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-00464 (filed February 17, 2021 in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado) (the “Anderson Complaint”); and Robinson v. Helix Technologies, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-00484 (filed February 18, 2021 in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado) (the “Robinson Complaint” and, together with the Dillion Complaint, the Anderson Complaint and the Baros Complaint, the “Stockholder Complaints”)). The Stockholder Complaints were filed against (a) Helix and (b) the members of Helix’s board of directors (the “Individual Defendants”) and the Baros Complaint was also filed against Forian, MOR and Merger Sub. The Stockholder Complaints generally allege that the defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, by, among other things, failing to disclose material information in the Proxy Statement regarding the sales process, reconciliation of certain financial projections regarding Helix certain inputs underlying Management Planning, Inc.’s financial analysis, and potential conflicts of interest of involving Helix’s insiders. The Stockholder Complaints also allege the Individual Defendants (and the Baros Complaint alleges Forian, Merger Sub and MOR) violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act as controlling persons who had the ability to prevent the Proxy Statement from being materially false and misleading. The Stockholder Complaints seek, among other things, an injunction against the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and an award of costs and expenses, including a reasonable allowance for attorneys’ and experts’ fees. Despite seeking an injunction in the complaints, none of the plaintiffs followed up with a motion to enjoin the transactions. On March 11, 2021, the Robinson Complaint was voluntarily dismissed. The remaining three complaints have not been served, and there has been no activity on any of them since the complaints were filed.
