Certain
statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are
“forward-looking statements” regarding the plans and
objectives of management for future operations and market trends
and expectations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results,
performance or achievements to be materially different from any
future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements
included herein are based on current expectations that involve
numerous risks and uncertainties. Our plans and objectives are
based, in part, on assumptions involving the expansion of our
business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments
with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive
and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which
are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which
are beyond our control. Although we believe that our assumptions
underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of
the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be
no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this
report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant
uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included
herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as
a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and
plans will be achieved. We undertake no obligation to revise or
update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, the factors set forth herein under
the headings “Business,” “Risk Factors” and
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations”. The terms
“we”, “our”, “us”, or any
derivative thereof, as used herein refer to Infinite Group, Inc., a
Delaware corporation.
PART I
Item 1. Business
Headquartered
in Pittsford, New York, Infinite Group, Inc. (IGI) has evolved into
a developer of cybersecurity software and a provider of
cybersecurity related services to commercial businesses and
government organizations that was built from our foundation of
managed IT and virtualization services. As part of these offerings
we:
●
focus on key
security services (virtual CISO, compliance review and assessment,
incident response, penetration testing, and vulnerability
assessments) to solve and simplify security for small and medium
sized enterprises (SMEs), government agencies, and certain large
commercial enterprises. We act as the security layer to both
internal IT and third party IT
organizations. We work with both our channel partners and direct
customers to provide these services;
●
developed and
brought to market our automated vulnerability management solution
through our OEM business, Nodeware™, which we sell through
distribution and channel partners. We are also master distributor
for other security solutions such as Webroot, a cloud-based
endpoint security platform solution, where we market to and provide
support for over 300 reseller partners across North
America;
●
provide level 2
technical and security support across the application layer and
physical and virtual infrastructure including software-based
managed services supporting enterprise and federal government
customers through our partnership with Perspecta; and
●
are an Enterprise
Level sales and professional services partner with VMware selling
virtualization licenses and solutions and providing virtualization
services support to commercial and government customers including
the New York State and Local Government and Education (SLED)
entities and the New York State Office of General Services (NYS
OGS). These activities take place in our virtualization sales
organization in conjunction with support from our professional
services organization (PSO).
Business Overview
As of
December 31, 2018, we had 57 full-time employees and information
technology independent contractors. We possess certifications with
our business and technology partners and our personnel maintain
numerous security and technical certifications and qualifications.
Our professionals are located at our headquarters in Pittsford, New
York and in Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Maryland, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.
We had
sales of approximately $6.4 million in 2018 and 2017. We generated
operating income of approximately $210,000 in 2018 as compared to
an operating loss of approximately $398,000 in 2017. We had net
income of $37,000 in 2018 as compared to a net loss of $75,000 in
2017. We recorded other income of $83,250 in 2018 from the
write-off of a note payable and accrued interest and $569,999 in
2017 when we had no further obligation to make certain debt
payments. We derived approximately 78% of our sales in 2018 and 79%
in 2017 from contracts as either a prime contractor or a
subcontractor.
During
2017 and 2018, we derived approximately 70% of our sales from one
prime contractor, Perspecta (spun off
from DXC Technology Company in 2018), including sales under
subcontracts for services to its end clients, principally a major
establishment of the U.S. Government (the U.S. Government Entity)
for which we manage one of the nation’s largest physical and
virtual Microsoft Windows environments. We have been providing this
service to the U.S. Government Entity under a long-standing
subcontract, which has been renewed annually since 2004. Our team
of server experts supports approximately 5,000 physical and virtual
servers and 250,000 client workstations from facilities in Maryland
and Colorado. Operating 24 hours per day and seven days per week,
we consistently meet or exceed the requirements of our service
level agreements. We refer to this as our Advanced Server
Management (ASM) team.
During 2018, with the objective of accelerating sales growth, we
continued our transition into becoming more cybersecurity focused
with both cybersecurity services and product development further
leveraging Nodeware, our first cybersecurity product. We continue
to seek to drive development of our cybersecurity business by
developing channel programs and relationships for Nodeware and
hiring personnel who have the background to support this evolving
business. We focus on developing our cybersecurity business through
both our professional services and OEM businesses. We believe our
channel presence through entities including large distribution and
master agents have created significant opportunities in both of
these areas. This has further reinforced our commitment to this
business strategy and our decision to leverage third party channels
to bring new business and customers to IGI. We continue to be a
master reseller of Webroot through our channel program. During
2018, we maintained our sales of Webroot to commercial customers
through our channel partners and continued to earn operating
income.
We have become less reliant on sales of U.S. Federal Government
virtualization projects as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
subcontractor and are focused on increased our direct sales of
virtualization projects to both SLED and commercial businesses.
Through our legacy VMware business, we have an umbrella NYS OGS
Contract through our partnership with VMware. Accordingly, our
personnel have worked with SLED and other NYS personnel to build
relationships needed to pursue additional sales of VMware software
licenses and services through the bidding process. During 2018 and
2017, under this agreement we sold and delivered virtualization
software licenses and project credits to New York State of
approximately $500,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. Since these
are agent sales and are reported net of cost of sales, we recorded
sales of $22,065 for 2018 and $48,308 for 2017.
We
provide subcontracted professional services to a select set of OEMs
and commercial entities that need additional skilled resources when
architecting and implementing solutions. We provide cloud computing
solutions that include public and private cloud architectures along
with hybrid scalable cloud hosting, server virtualization and
desktop virtualization solutions. Our experience with cloud and
virtualization computing related software has enabled us to take
advantage of a growing trend towards Managed IT Services,
particularly in security and the SME space. Sales to our principal
client, VMware, Inc., consisted of sales under subcontracts for
services to their end clients. During 2018, we provided
professional services to these clients and earned 7.5% of our
sales.

Business Strategy
Our
strategy is to build our business by designing, developing, and
marketing cybersecurity based services, products and solutions that
fill technology gaps in cybersecurity. We brought one patent
pending product to market and intend to bring other proprietary
products and solutions to market through a channel of domestic and
international partners and distributors. Our products and solutions
are designed to simplify the security needs in customer and partner
environments, with a focus on the mid-tier Enterprise market and
below. We enable our partners by providing recurring revenue based
business models for both recurring services and through our
automated and continuous security solutions. Products may be sold
as standalone solutions or integrated into existing environments to
further automate the management of security and related IT
functions. Our ability to succeed depends on how successful we are
in differentiating ourselves in the market at a time when
competition and consolidation in these markets is on the
rise.
Our
cybersecurity business is comprised of three components: managed
security services, product development and deployment, and
integration of third-party security solutions into our security
offerings to our channel and customers. We provide cybersecurity
services and technical consulting resources to support both our
channel partners and end customers. For example, we sell our
proprietary product, Nodeware, through both our direct partners and
through other 3rd party partner distribution and agents so they can
either sell it as a standalone solution or part of other technical
services they provide to their customers. This enables the channel
partner to develop a base of recurring revenue. We also provide our
cybersecurity services through our channel partners as a
cybersecurity overlay to the technical services they already
provide
Our
goal is to maintain our base of opportunities in our VMware
business in both the public and commercial sector.
Opportunistically, we will continue to identify license and
services engagements as they arise.
We are
working to expand our managed services business with our prime
partner, Perspecta, and the current federal enterprise customer and
its customers. The following sections define specific strategic
components of our business strategy.
Nodeware
We
launched Nodeware version 1 commercially in November 2016. Nodeware
is an automated vulnerability management solution that is designed
to enhance security by proactively identifying, monitoring, and
addressing potential vulnerabilities on networks, creating a
safeguard against malicious intent to exploit known problems in a
customer’s network with simplicity and affordability.
Customers have the option to purchase Nodeware or Nodeware Plus to
accommodate the varying network needs of their organizations.
Nodeware provides a value-based solution designed for SMEs with
single subnet or several subnets, whereas Nodeware Plus can
accommodate larger organizations with more advanced network
needs.
Nodeware
assesses vulnerabilities in a computer network using scanning
technology to capture a comprehensive view of the security exposure
of a network infrastructure. Users receive alerts and view network
information through a proprietary, web enabled dashboard.
Continuous and automated internal scanning and external on demand
scanning are components of this offering.
Nodeware
2.0 was released to the market during 2017 providing the same
solution with a set of new features, such as credentialed and
uncredentialed vulnerability scanning. Nodeware scans the
customer’s system through domain credentials without
requiring an agent, providing a more comprehensive view of customer
vulnerabilities. This level of access often results in the
discovery of more missing patches or vulnerabilities that can then
be addressed by following instructions available within the
Nodeware interface.
We believe Nodeware creates an opportunity for resellers, including
managed service providers, managed security service providers,
distributors, and value-added resellers. We sell Nodeware in the
commercial sector through channel partners and agents. In 2018, we
continued to expand our channel of resellers.
We believe that our intellectual property is an asset that may
contribute to the growth and profitability of our business. We rely
on a combination of patent-pending and confidentiality procedures
and contractual provisions to establish and protect our
intellectual property rights in the United States and
abroad. In May 2016, we filed a provisional patent
application for our proprietary product, Nodeware. The U.S. patent system permits the filing of
provisional and non-provisional patent applications. A
non-provisional patent application is examined by the United
States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and can mature into a
patent once the USPTO determines that the claimed invention meets
the standards for patentability. In May 2017, we filed a utility
patent application for Nodeware. Our patent application is ready
for examination by the U.S. patent application examiner and in
2018, we have provided our first defense of the patent application
from the examiner.
Technology and Product Development
Our
goal is to position our products and solutions to enable vertical
integration with other solutions. We have a technology and product
development strategy aligned with our business strategy. We
continue to seek to identify other technical partners in the
cybersecurity market to integrate Nodeware in to; through either
API or full stack integration.
4
Cybersecurity Services
We
provide cybersecurity consulting services that include incident
response, security awareness training, risk management, IT
governance and compliance, security assessment services,
penetration testing, and virtual Chief Information Security Officer
(vCISO) offerings to channel partners and direct customers across
different vertical markets (banking, healthcare, manufacturing,
etc.) in North America. Our cybersecurity projects use leverage
different technology platforms and processes such as Nodeware to
create a living document that a customer can use to go forward on a
path of continuous improvement for its overall IT security. We
support both internal and external IT organizations with our
cybersecurity overlay that allows us to stay agnostic in the
process, especially for compliance while enabling the IT
organization to address the issues discovered. We validate overall
network security with the goal of maintaining the integrity of
confidential client information, preserving the continuity of
services, and minimizing potential data damage from attempted
threats and incidents.
Government Contract Vehicles and Agreements
A government contract vehicle is a mechanism for conducting
business with government entities which helps to significantly
reduce such entities’ lead time for procuring products or
services and lowers agency acquisition costs associated with
managing complex bid procedures. We believe that possessing contract vehicles will
facilitate sales growth if we are successful at bidding and winning
business within task orders generated under these vehicles.
However, the amount of sales that we may generate is not
determinable until a specific project award is
made.
Federal Supply Schedule Contract. In 2003, we were awarded a
Federal Supply Schedule Contract by the U.S. General Services
Administration (GSA) for IT consulting services (Schedule 70). Our
Schedule 70 contract was extended through December 2023. Having a
Schedule 70 allows us to compete for and secure prime contracts
with all executive agencies of the U.S. Government, as well as
other national and international organizations. Our Schedule 70
contract encompasses 95 different labor categories and in 2018
Nodeware was also added. We have used our Schedule 70 as a basis
for pricing our current and proposed work.
New York State and Local Government and Education (SLED).
In 2016, we began working with VMware
when it established a contract with NYS. VMware designated us as
one of a select group of partners that is authorized to sell VMware
licenses to SLED customers throughout New York State under their
2016 New York State Information Technology Service (ITS)
Manufacturer Umbrella Contract. Beginning in 2017, we also have a
similar contract with HPE under the NYS OGS contract that further
enables us to bring solutions to SLED customers. These contracts
continued in 2018.
The Quilt. The Quilt is the
non-profit national coalition of 36 of our country’s most
advanced regional research and education organizations.
Participants in The Quilt provide advanced network services and
applications to over 250 universities and thousands of other
educational institutions. Based on The Quilt participants’
combined experiences in operations and development of leading-edge
technologies, The Quilt aims to influence the national agenda on
information technology infrastructure, with emphasis on networking
for research and education. Through this coalition, The Quilt
promotes delivery of networking services at lower cost, higher
performance and greater reliability and security. Carahsoft is a
master government aggregator and distributor for the
industry’s leading and emerging IT manufacturers. We have an
agreement with Carahsoft to place orders against Carahsoft’s
Quilt contract for VMware products and support services for a
period of one year, renewable annually.
Partner Agreements
VMware Enterprise Solution Provider and Consulting
Subcontractor. Since 2007, we have been an approved VMware
Authorized Consultant (VAC) by VMware, Inc. VMware is recognized as
the industry leader in virtualization technology. As a VAC, we are
trained and certified to deliver consulting services and solutions
leveraging VMware technology. Our cloud solutions let entities
convert the capital expenditure of building and maintaining
in-house data storage and computing systems to an affordable, low
monthly operating cost. We compare desired outcomes, determine
financial implications and create a clear plan to optimize this
technology. We implement offsite data storage, server
virtualization, virtual desktop infrastructure, and public, private
or hybrid cloud solutions.
Since
2015, we have been a VMware Enterprise Level Solution Provider
(ESP) where we still have the benefits of an architect,
integration, and service partner along with the ability to sell
VMware licenses. We believe that this has positioned us to become a
full lifecycle solutions provider to create our own opportunities
to sell VMware licenses directly to end customers. We assess,
architect, recommend, implement, and support our customers directly
while still maintaining our current relationship with the VMware
PSO. We have several solution specializations and are registered
with the U.S. Federal and Education Specializations and SLED within
VMware. We have completed over 700 projects around the globe and in
market sectors including U.S. Government, state governments,
education, and commercial corporations.
Certifications
Our
technical support personnel maintain leading edge certifications
and qualifications in the respective software applications. These
certifications are examples of our concerted effort to grow and
expand our virtualization practice. We believe that our
virtualization experience and expertise with VMware will offer
opportunities to increase sales, particularly in the cloud
computing market.
CISSP® - Certified Information Systems Security
Professionals. The CISSP certification is a credential for those
with technical and managerial competence, skills, experience, and
credibility to design, engineer, implement, and manage overall
information security programs to protect organizations from
increasingly sophisticated attacks. It is a globally recognized
standard of achievement. Certain of our employees in our cyber
security group have this certification.
5
GCIH - GIAC Certified Incident Handler. The GCIH
certification is a credential for incident handlers who manage
security incidents by understanding common attack techniques,
vectors and tools as well as defending against and/or responding to
such attacks when they occur. The GCIH certification focuses on
detecting, responding, and resolving computer security incidents
including:
●
the incident
reporting process;
●
malicious
applications and network activity;
●
common attack
techniques that compromise hosts;
●
system and network
vulnerabilities; and
●
continuous process
improvement and the root causes of incidents.
Certain
of our employees in our cyber security group have this
certification.
Microsoft Silver Certified Partner. We are part of
Microsoft's Accredited Online Cloud Services program. We have been
certified in sales, pricing and technical delivery of Office 365
which combines the familiar Office desktop suite with cloud-based
versions of the next-generation communications and collaboration
services: Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and Lync Online. These
services are providing real world benefits to our clients while
allowing us to offer clear guidelines for transitioning new users
to hybrid-cloud-based solutions. We received certification for
Windows Intune which provides complete remote desktop support
capabilities enhancing our overall goal of providing complete
solutions for virtualization and cloud-based Software as a Service
(SaaS). What once required expensive hardware and time consuming
deployments can now be delivered seamlessly, including web
conferencing, collaboration, document management, messaging,
customer relationship management and productive office web
applications all with lower total cost of ownership and quicker
return on investment. We believe our Microsoft competencies assist
our business development personnel when presenting solutions that,
if accepted, will increase our sales.
Perspecta Inc. Global Procurement Master Terms Agreement.
We are a member of a select group of
suppliers that enables Perspecta Inc. (spun off from DXC Technology
Company in 2018) to purchase products and services from us under a
global procurement master agreement and as specified in a statement
of work for each project. This relationship continues to evolve and
is something that is responsible for our long-term relationship
with the Federal customer mentioned previously. Perspecta has many
tools and resources to help us generate new sales streams, and
improve our mutual profitability, while at the same time adding
unique value for our joint clients. The program comprises practical
tools and services that we anticipate will help us in the key areas
of marketing and selling our solutions, optimizing the technology,
and collaborating with other organizations within our industry to
generate more revenue. Our global procurement master agreement with
Perspecta runs to January 2020.
Competition
As we
increase our focus in security services and product development, we
face competition from several different vendors in this evolving
market. We compete with other IT professional services firms,
Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs), and cybersecurity
product and software developers operating in the U.S. Government,
state and local government and commercial marketplace. We obtain a
portion of our business based on proposals submitted in response to
requests from potential and current clients, who typically also
receive proposals from other firms. We face competition in the
commercial markets from other IT service providers, MSSPs, and
software development companies, large and small. Many of our
competitors, in general, have substantially greater capital
resources, research and development staffs, sales, and marketing
resources, facilities, and experience.
Company Information Available on the Internet
We maintain a website at https://IGIus.com.
Through a link to the Investor
Relations section of our website, our annual reports on Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any
amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the Exchange Act), are available, free of charge, as soon as
reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material
with or furnish it to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
We also maintain a web site for our cybersecurity product,
Nodeware, and services at https://www.nodeware.com.
The content of our websites shall not be deemed part of this
report.
Employees
As of December 31, 2018, we have 57 full-time employees, including
43 in information technology services, three in executive
management, three in accounting, finance and administration, and
eight in software development, marketing and sales. We are not
subject to any collective bargaining agreements and we believe that
relations with our employees and independent contractors are good.
We believe that we are currently staffed at an appropriate level to
administratively implement and carry out our business plan for the
next 12 months. However, we expect to add positions in marketing
and information technology services as we expand our
sales.
Our
ability to develop and market our services, and to establish and
maintain a competitive position in our businesses will depend, in
large part, upon our ability to attract and retain qualified
technical, marketing and managerial personnel, of which there can
be no assurance.
General Information
We were
incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on October 14,
1986. Our principal corporate headquarters are located at 175
Sully’s Trail, Suite 202, Pittsford, NY 14534. Our business
is in the field of delivering IT services, licensing our
cybersecurity product, Nodeware, and selling third party software
licenses.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In
addition to the other information provided in our reports, you
should consider the following factors carefully in evaluating our
business and us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently
known to us, which we currently deem immaterial or that are similar
to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in
general, such as competitive conditions, may also impair our
business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our
business, financial condition, or results of operations could be
materially adversely affected.
Risks Related to our Industry
The IT cybersecurity services industry is highly competitive, and
we may not be able to compete effectively.
We
operate in a highly competitive industry that includes many
participants. We believe that we currently compete principally with
other IT professional services firms, technology vendors and the
internal information systems groups of our clients. Many of the
companies that provide services in our markets have significantly
greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do.
Our marketplace continues to experience rapid changes in its
competitive landscape. Some of our competitors have sought access
to public and private capital and others have merged or
consolidated with better-capitalized partners. These changes may
create more or larger and better-capitalized competitors with
enhanced abilities to compete for market share generally and our
clients specifically, in some cases, through significant economic
incentives to clients to secure contracts. These competitors may
also be better able to compete for skilled professionals by
offering them large compensation incentives. One or more of our
competitors may develop and implement methodologies that result in
superior productivity and price reductions without adversely
affecting the competitors' profit margins. In addition, there are
relatively few barriers to entry into our markets and we have
faced, and expect to continue to face, competition from new
entrants into our markets. As a result, we may be unable to
continue to compete successfully with our existing or any new
competitors.
If we fail to meet our contractual obligations to our clients, our
ability to compete for future work and our financial condition may
be adversely affected.
If we
fail to meet our contractual obligations, we could be subject to
legal liability, which could adversely affect our business,
operating results and financial condition. The provisions we
typically include in our contracts which are designed to limit our
exposure to legal claims relating to our services may not protect
us or may not be enforceable under some circumstances or under the
laws of some jurisdictions. It is possible, because of the nature
of our business, that we may be exposed to legal claims in the
future. We have errors and omissions insurance with coverage limits
of $1 million, subject to a $100,000 deductible payable by us. The
policy limits may not be adequate to provide protection against all
potential liabilities. As a consulting firm, we depend on our
relationships with our clients and our reputation for high-quality
services to retain and attract clients and employees. As a result,
claims made against us may damage our reputation, which in turn,
could impact our ability to compete for new business.
Our sales may suffer if our patent application for the technology
used by our product, Nodeware, is not approved.
In May
2016, we filed a provisional patent application for our proprietary
product, Nodeware, to protect the
technology that we developed and applied. In May 2017, we
filed a utility patent application for Nodeware. Our patent
application is ready for examination by the U.S. patent application
examiner. We may not have the full protection until it is
fully approved. This may provide an opportunity for our competitors
to develop similar products and technologies and directly compete with us. This may harm our
sales and our ability to earn a return on our investments in this
technology.
Our gross margin from our contracts will suffer if we are not able
to maintain our pricing and utilization rates and control our
costs.
Our
gross profit margin is largely a function of the rates we charge
for our IT Services and the utilization rate, or chargeability, of
our employees. Accordingly, if we are not able to maintain the
rates we charge for our services or an appropriate utilization rate
for our employees, we will not be able to sustain our gross profit
margin and earn a sufficient amount to fund our operating expenses.
The rates we charge for our IT Services are affected by several
factors, including:
●
our clients'
perception of our ability to add value through our
services;
●
competition;
●
introduction of new
services or products by us or our competitors;
●
pricing policies of
our competitors; and
●
general economic
conditions.
Our
utilization rates are also affected by several factors, including:
seasonal trends, primarily because of holidays, vacations, and
slowdowns by our clients, which may have a more significant effect
in the fourth quarter; our ability to transition employees from
completed engagements to new engagements; our ability to forecast
demand for our services and thereby maintain an appropriately
balanced and sized workforce; and our ability to manage employee
turnover.
We have
implemented cost-management programs to manage our costs, including
personnel costs, support and other overhead costs. Some of our
costs, like office rents, are fixed in the short term, which limits
our ability to reduce costs in periods of declining sales. Our
current and future cost-management initiatives may not be
sufficient to maintain our margins as our level of sales
varies.
7
We sell our product, Nodeware, to
various customers, and we are therefore subject to risks
associated with our sales and operations.
Our potential growth in certain markets could be adversely affected
by:
●
trade regulations
and procedures and actions affecting pricing and marketing of
products, including policies adopted by countries that may champion
or otherwise favor domestic companies and technologies over foreign
competitors;
●
changes in the
international, national or local regulatory and legal environments;
and
●
import, export or
other business licensing requirements or requirements relating to
foreign software licenses, which could increase our cost of doing
business in certain jurisdictions, prevent us from delivering our
product to certain countries or markets.
These
and other factors could harm our ability to generate future revenue
and impact our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property adequately,
which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of
operations.
We
believe that our intellectual property is an asset that may
contribute to the growth and profitability of our business. We rely
on a combination of patent and confidentiality procedures and
contractual provisions to establish and protect our intellectual
property rights in the United States and abroad. The efforts we
have taken to protect our intellectual property may not be
sufficient or effective, and no patents may ultimately issue from
any patent applications we have made or may make. Any U.S. or other
patents issued to us may not be sufficiently broad to protect our
proprietary technology or be enforceable at all. We may not be
effective in policing unauthorized use of our intellectual
property. Further, the laws of certain countries do not protect
proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United
States. Therefore, in certain jurisdictions we may be unable to
protect our proprietary technology adequately against unauthorized
third party copying or use. If we do detect violations, litigation
may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights. Any
enforcement efforts we undertake, including litigation, could be
time consuming and expensive. It could divert management’s
attention and may result in a court determining that our
intellectual property rights are unenforceable. If we are not
successful in cost effectively protecting our intellectual property
rights, our business, financial condition, and results of
operations could be harmed.
If we or our channel partners fail to properly complete
cybersecurity assessments and other projects for customers, the
customers may assert that we have contributed to cybersecurity
issues that they may incur and seek recourse from us.
We perform cybersecurity assessments and other projects for our
customers. We issue reports that state the results of our work. If
a customer encounters a cybersecurity issue, it may assert that we
did not identify and suggest remediation for the
issue.
Our channel partners use Nodeware in cybersecurity projects. Our
channel partners may incur the same risks that we incur in
completing cybersecurity projects using Nodeware.
For any
security breaches against customers that use our Nodeware scanner
or services, breaches against those customers may result in
customers and the public believing that Nodeware or our services
failed. Our customers may look to our competitors for alternatives
to Nodeware and our services. Real or perceived security breaches
of our customers’ networks could cause disruption or damage
to their networks or other negative consequences and could result
in negative publicity to us, damage to our reputation, declining
sales, increased expenses and customer relations issues. Any real
or perceived defects in our product and services, or failure of our
product and services to detect a vulnerability could result
in:
●
a loss of existing
or potential customers or channel partners;
●
delayed or lost
revenue and harm to our financial condition and results of
operations;
●
a delay in
attaining, or the failure to attain, market
acceptance;
●
an increase in
warranty claims, or an increase in the cost of servicing warranty
claims, either of which would adversely affect our gross margins;
and
●
litigation,
regulatory inquiries, or investigations that may be costly and
further harm our reputation.
These
and other factors could harm our results of operations and
financial condition.
We depend on third party vendors and incur risks associated with cloud
based technologies and our product, Nodeware.
We
store certain information in a cloud based environment with third
party vendors. We are dependent on them to maintain a high level of
security to protect our information and may incur adverse
consequence if each vendor does not provide sufficient
security.
8
If we cannot continue to produce quality products and services, our
reputation, business, and financial performance may
suffer.
In
operating our business, we must address quality issues associated
with our product, services, and solutions, including defects in
engineering, design and manufacturing processes and unsatisfactory
performance under service contracts, including defects in
third-party components used in our product and unsatisfactory
performance or even malicious acts by third party contractors or
their employees. To address quality issues, we test our product to
determine the causes of problems and to develop and implement
appropriate solutions. However, the product, services, and
solutions that we offer may be complex, and our testing and quality
control efforts may not be effective in controlling or detecting
all quality issues, particularly with respect to faulty components
manufactured by third parties. If we are unable to determine the
cause, find an appropriate solution to address quality issues with
our product, we may delay shipment to customers, which could delay
revenue recognition and receipt of customer payment and could
adversely affect our revenue, cash flows and profitability. After
products are delivered, quality issues may require us to repair or
replace such products. Addressing quality issues can be expensive
and may result in additional repair, replacement and other costs,
adversely affecting our financial performance. If our customers are
dissatisfied with our services or solutions, our results of
operations could be adversely affected, and we could face possible
claims if we fail to meet our customers' expectations. In addition,
quality issues can impair our relationships with our customers
which could adversely affect our results of
operations.
System security risks, data protection breaches, cyberattacks, and
systems integration issues could disrupt our internal operations or
IT services provided to customers, and any such disruption could
reduce our revenue, increase our expenses, damage our
reputation.
We sell
cyber security services, third-party software as well as our
internally developed software, Nodeware. As a result, we have
been and will be a target of cyber-attacks designed to impede the
performance of our products, penetrate our network security or the
security of our cloud platform or our internal systems, or that of
our customers, misappropriate proprietary information and/or cause
interruptions to our services. For example, because Nodeware is a
network vulnerability management tool, a successful cyber-attack on
us may be perceived as a victory for the cyber attacker, thereby
increasing the likelihood that we may be a target of more
cyber-attacks, even absent financial motives. Further, if our
systems are breached as a result of third-party action, employee
error or misconduct, attackers could learn critical information
about how our primary product operates to help protect our
customers’ IT infrastructures from cyber risk, thereby making
our customers more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. In addition, if
actual or perceived breaches of our network security occur, they
could adversely affect the market perception of our Nodeware
product, negatively affecting our reputation, and may expose us to
the loss of our proprietary information or information belonging to
our customers, investigations or litigation and possible liability,
including injunctive relief and monetary damages. Such security
breaches could also divert the efforts of our technical and
management personnel. In addition, such security breaches could
impair our ability to operate our business and provide products to
our customers. If this happens, our reputation could be harmed, our
revenue could decline, and our business could suffer. We
monitor our network continuously with our Nodeware product as well
as other cybersecurity software.
We are
not aware of or identified an incident leading to a breach of our
internal or external facing systems. We have implemented
several proactive policies and procedures to mitigate any internal
incidents from outside forces. This includes deploying additional
monitoring software, phishing training, creating an internal
incident response team, and additional awareness through internal
communications around typical attempts that outside forces use.
While we have seen phishing attempts sent to certain email
addresses, we have mitigated those through the aforementioned
steps. Our internal security team has blocked the associated
addresses and/or domains of the senders and has enhanced email
security features to identify external emails. Overall, our
internal security posture continues to evolve as the market
evolves. We have a cyber insurance policy which will cover
certain expenses related to an attack, such as certain business
interruption costs associated with an incident.
We depend on prime contracts or subcontracts with the federal,
state and local governments for a substantial portion of our sales,
and our business would be seriously harmed if the government ceased
doing business with us or our prime contractors or significantly
decreased the amount of business it does with us or our prime
contractors.
We
derived approximately 78% of our sales in 2018 from contracts as
either a prime contractor or a subcontractor with over 70% from
government contracts. We expect that we will continue to derive a
substantial portion of our sales for the foreseeable future from
work performed under government contracts, as we have in the past,
and from marketing efforts focused on commercial enterprises. If we
or our prime contractors were suspended or prohibited from
contracting with federal, state or local governments, or if our
reputation or relationship with the federal, state or local
governments and commercial enterprises were impaired, or if any of
the foregoing otherwise ceased doing business with us or our prime
contractors or significantly decreased the amount of business it
does with us or our prime contractors, our business, prospects,
financial condition and operating results would be materially
adversely affected.
Our business could be adversely affected by changes in budgetary
priorities of the federal, state and local
governments.
Because
we derive a significant portion of our sales from contracts with
federal, state and local governments, we believe that the success
and development of our business will continue to depend on our
successful participation in their contract programs. Changes in
federal, state and local government budgetary priorities could
directly affect our financial performance. A significant decline in
government expenditures, a shift of expenditures away from programs
which call for the types of services that we provide or a change in
government contracting policies, could cause U.S. Governmental
agencies as well as state and local governments to reduce their
expenditures under contracts, to exercise their right to terminate
contracts at any time without penalty, not to exercise options to
renew contracts or to delay or not originate new contracts. Any of
those actions could seriously harm our business, prospects,
financial condition or operating results. Moreover, although our
contracts with governmental entities may contemplate that our
services will be performed over a period of several years,
government entities usually must approve funds for a given program
each government fiscal year and may significantly reduce or
eliminate funding for a program. Significant reductions in these
appropriations could have a material adverse effect on our
business. Additional factors that could have a serious adverse
effect on our government contracting business include, but may not
be limited to:
9
●
changes in
government programs or requirements;
●
budgetary
priorities limiting or delaying government spending generally, or
by specific departments or agencies and changes in fiscal policies
or available funding, including potential governmental
shutdowns;
●
reductions in the
government's use of technology solutions firms;
●
a decrease in the
number of contracts reserved for small businesses, or small
business set asides, which could result in our inability to compete
directly for these prime contracts; and
●
curtailment of the
government uses of IT or related professional
services.
The Office of Management and Budget process for ensuring government
agencies properly support capital planning initiatives, including
information technology investments, could reduce or delay federal
information technology spending and cause us to lose
revenue.
The Office of Management and Budget, or OMB, supervises spending by
federal agencies, including enforcement of the Government
Performance Results Act. This Act requires, among other things,
that federal agencies make an adequate business justification to
support capital planning initiatives, including all information
technology investments. The factors considered by the OMB include,
among others, whether the proposed information technology
investment is expected to achieve an appropriate return on
investment, whether related processes are contemporaneously
reviewed, whether inter-operability with existing systems and the
capacity for these systems to share data across government has been
considered, and whether existing off-the-shelf products are being
utilized to the extent possible. If our clients do not adequately
justify proposed information technology investments to the OMB, the
OMB may refuse funding for their new or continuing information
technology investments, and we may lose revenue as a
result.
Our contracts with federal, state and local governments may be
terminated or adversely modified prior to completion, which could
adversely affect our business.
U.S.
Government contracts generally contain provisions, and are subject
to laws and regulations, that give the U.S. Government rights and
remedies not typically found in commercial contracts, including
provisions permitting the U.S. Government to:
●
terminate our
existing contracts;
●
reduce potential
future revenues from our existing contracts;
●
modify some of the
terms and conditions in our existing contracts;
●
suspend or
permanently prohibit us from doing business with the U.S.
Government or with any specific government agency;
●
impose fines and
penalties;
●
subject us to
criminal prosecution;
●
suspend work under
existing multiple year contracts and related task orders if the
necessary funds are not appropriated by Congress;
●
decline to exercise
an option to extend an existing multiple year
contract;
●
subject the award
of some contracts to protest or challenge by competitors, which may
require the contracting U.S. agency or department to suspend our
performance pending the outcome of the protest or challenge and
which may also require the government to solicit new bids for the
contract or result in the termination, reduction or modification of
the awarded contract; and
●
claim rights in
technologies and systems invented, developed or produced by
us.
The
U.S. Government may terminate a contract with us either for
convenience (for instance, due to a change in its perceived needs
or its desire to consolidate work under another contract) or if we
default by failing to perform under the contract. If the U.S.
Government terminates a contract with us for convenience, we
generally would be entitled to recover only our incurred or
committed costs, settlement expenses and profit on the work
completed prior to termination. If the U.S. Government terminates a
contract with us based upon our default, we generally would be
denied any recovery for undelivered work, and instead may be liable
for excess costs incurred by the U.S. Government in procuring
undelivered items from an alternative source. We may in the future
receive show-cause or cure notices under contracts that, if not
addressed to the U.S. Government's satisfaction, could give the
government the right to terminate those contracts for default or to
cease procuring our services under those contracts.
Our
U.S. Government contracts typically have terms of one or more base
years and one or more option years. Many of the option periods
cover more than half of the contract's potential term. U.S.
Governmental agencies generally have the right not to exercise
options to extend a contract. A decision to terminate or not to
exercise options to extend our existing contracts could have a
material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations.
Certain
of our U.S. Government contracts also contain organizational
conflict of interest clauses that could limit our ability to
compete for certain related follow-on contracts. For example, when
we work on the design of a solution, we may be precluded from
competing for the contract to install that solution. While we
actively monitor our contracts to avoid these conflicts, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to avoid all organizational conflict
of interest issues.
10
In addition, U.S. Government contracts are frequently awarded only
after formal competitive bidding processes, which have been and may
continue to be protracted, and typically impose provisions that
permit cancellation if funds are unavailable to the public
agency.
The
competitive bidding process presents several risks, including the
following:
●
we expend
substantial funds, managerial time and effort to prepare bids and
proposals for contracts that we may not win;
●
we may be unable to
estimate accurately the resources and costs that will be required
to service any contract we win, which could result in substantial
cost overruns; and
●
we may encounter
expense and delay if our competitors protest or challenge awards of
contracts to us in competitive bidding, and any such protest or
challenge could result in a requirement to resubmit bids on
modified specifications or in the termination, reduction or
modification of the awarded contract.
Unfavorable government audits could require us to refund payments
we have received, to forgo anticipated sales and could subject us
to penalties and sanctions.
The
federal, state and local government entities we work for generally
have the authority to audit and review our contracts with them
and/or our subcontracts with prime contractors. As part of that
process, the government agency reviews our performance on the
contract, our pricing practices, our cost structure and our
compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. If the
audit agency determines that we have improperly received payment or
reimbursement, we would be required to refund any such amount. If a
government audit uncovers improper or illegal activities by us, we
may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative
sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeitures of
profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or
disqualification from doing business with the government. Any such
unfavorable determination could adversely impact our ability to bid
for new work which would have a negative impact on our
business.
The failure by federal, state and local governments to approve
budgets on a timely basis could delay procurement of our services
and solutions and cause us to lose future revenues.
On an annual basis, Congress, and state and local governments must
approve budgets that govern spending by government entities that we
support. In years when governments do not complete the budget
process before the end of their fiscal year, governments may fund
operations pursuant to a continuing resolution. A continuing
resolution allows U.S. Government agencies and other government
entities to operate at spending levels approved in the previous
budget cycle. When the government operates under a continuing
resolution, it may delay funding we expect to receive from clients
on work we are already performing and will likely result in new
initiatives being delayed or in some cases cancelled.
We may lose money on some contracts if we do not accurately
estimate the expenses, time, and resources necessary to satisfy our
contractual obligations.
We may
originate two types of government contracts for our services:
time-and-materials and fixed-price. Each of these types of
contracts, to varying degrees, involves some risk that we could
underestimate our cost of fulfilling the contract, which may reduce
the profit we earn or lead to a financial loss on the
contract.
Under
time and materials contracts, we are reimbursed for labor at
negotiated hourly billing rates and for certain expenses. We assume
financial risk on time and material contracts because we assume the
risk of performing those contracts at negotiated hourly
rates.
Under
fixed-price contracts, we perform specific tasks for a fixed price.
Compared to cost-plus contracts, fixed price contracts generally
offer higher margin opportunities, but involve greater financial
risk because we bear the impact of cost overruns and bear the risk
of underestimating the level of effort required to perform the
contractual obligations, which could result in increased costs and
expenses.
Our
profits could be adversely affected if our costs under any of these
contracts exceed the assumptions we used in bidding for the
contract.
If we fail to establish and maintain important relationships with
government entities, our ability to successfully bid for new
business may be adversely affected.
To
develop new business opportunities, we rely on establishing and
maintaining relationships with various government entities. We may
be unable to successfully maintain our relationships with
government entities, and any failure to do so could materially
adversely affect our ability to compete successfully for new
business.
Our business may suffer if our facilities or our employees are
unable to obtain or retain the security clearances or other
qualifications needed to perform services for our
clients.
Many of
our U.S. Government contracts require employees and facilities used
in specific engagements to hold security clearances and to clear
National Agency Checks and Defense Security Service checks. Some of
our contracts require us to employ personnel with specified levels
of education, work experience and security clearances. Depending on
the level of clearance, security clearances can be difficult and
time-consuming to obtain. If our employees or our facilities lose
or are unable to obtain necessary security clearances or
successfully clear necessary National Agency or Defense Security
Service checks, we may not be able to win new business and our
existing clients could terminate their contracts with us or decide
not to renew them, and in each instance our operating results could
be materially adversely affected.
11
We must comply with a variety of laws, regulations and procedures
and our failure to comply could harm our operating
results.
We must
observe laws and regulations relating to the formation,
administration and performance of government contracts which affect
how we do business with our clients and impose added costs on our
business. For example, the Federal Acquisition Regulation and the
industrial security regulations of the Department of Defense and
related laws include provisions that:
●
allow U.S.
Government entities to terminate or not renew contracts if we come
under foreign ownership, control or influence;
●
require us to
disclose and certify cost and pricing data in connection with
contract negotiations;
●
require us to
prevent unauthorized access to classified information;
and
●
require us to
comply with laws and regulations intended to promote various social
or economic goals.
We are
subject to industrial security regulations of the U.S. Government
agencies that are designed to safeguard against foreigners' access
to classified information. If we were to come under foreign
ownership, control or influence, we could lose our facility
security clearance, which could result in our U.S. Government
clients terminating or deciding not to renew an existing contract
and could impair our ability to obtain new contracts.
In
addition, our employees and independent contractors must often
comply with procedures required by the specific agency for which
work is being performed, such as time recordation or prohibition on
removal of materials from a location.
Our
failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations or procedures,
including U.S. Government procurement regulations and regulations
regarding the protection of classified information, could result in
contract termination, loss of security clearances, suspension or
prohibition from contracting with government entities, civil fines
and damages and criminal prosecution and penalties, any of which
could materially adversely affect our business.
Federal, state and local governments may revise their procurement
or other practices in a manner adverse to us.
Federal,
state and local governments may revise
their procurement practices or adopt new contracting rules and
regulations, such as cost accounting standards. New contracting
methods may be adopted relating to GSA contracts, government-wide
contracts, or new standards for contract awards intended to achieve
certain social or other policy objectives, such as establishing new
set-aside programs for small or minority-owned businesses. In
addition, government entities may face restrictions from new
legislation or regulations, as well as pressure from government
employees and their unions, on the nature and amount of services
they may obtain from private contractors. These changes could
impair our ability to obtain new contracts or contracts under which
we currently perform when those contracts are put up for
re-competition bid. Any new contracting methods could be costly or
administratively difficult for us to implement and could harm our
operating results. For example, the Truthfulness, Responsibility
and Accountability in Contracting Act, proposed in 2001, would have
limited and severely delayed the U.S. Government's ability to use
private service contractors. Although this proposal was not
enacted, it or similar legislation could be proposed at any time.
Any reduction in the U.S. Government's use of private contractors
to provide federal information technology services could materially
adversely impact our business.
Failure to maintain strong relationships with government and
commercial contractors could result in a decline in our
sales.
We
derived approximately 78% of our sales in 2018 from contracts under
which we acted as a subcontractor. Our subcontracts with prime
contractors contain many of the same provisions as the prime
contracts and therefore carry many of the same risks previously
identified in these Risk Factors. As a subcontractor, we often lack
control over fulfillment of a contract, and poor performance on the
contract by others could tarnish our reputation, even when we
perform as required. We expect to continue to depend on
relationships with other contractors for a significant portion of
our sales in the foreseeable future. Moreover, our sales and
operating results could be materially adversely affected if any
prime contractor chooses to offer services of the type that we
provide or if any prime contractor teams with other companies to
independently provide those services.
Risks Related to our Business and Financial Condition
We are highly leveraged, which increases our operating deficit and
makes it difficult for us to grow.
At
December 31, 2018, we had current liabilities of approximately $2.9
million and long-term liabilities of $1.4 million and
stockholders’ deficiency of $4,000,094. We had a working
capital deficit of approximately $2.6 million and a current ratio
of .11. For 2018, we had operating income of approximately $210,000
and used cash of approximately $130,000 for operating activities.
Working capital shortages may impair our business operations and
growth strategy, and accordingly, our business, operations, and
financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
We have been dependent on a limited number of high net worth
individuals to fund our working capital needs.
From
2003 through 2018, we received approximately $4.5 million in a
combination of equity, debt conversion and debt transactions from
several high net worth investors. We cannot provide assurance that
we will be able to continue to raise additional capital from this
group of investors, or that we will be able to secure funding from
additional sources.
At
December 31, 2018, we have current notes payable of $332,500 to
third parties, which includes convertible notes payable of
approximately $290,000. We have current maturities of long-term
obligations to third parties of $686,000 comprised of $265,000 that
was due on January 1, 2018, $175,000 which was due on August 31,
2018 and $246,000 which was due to the PBGC on September 15, 2018
in accordance with the October 2011 Settlement Agreement. We have
notes payable to related parties of $102,000 and maturities of our
long-term notes to related parties of $34,350. We cannot provide
assurance that we will be able to repay current notes payable or
obtain extensions of maturity dates for long-term notes payable
when they mature or that we will be able to repay or otherwise
refinance the notes at their scheduled maturities.
12
We may require additional financing in the future, which may not be
available on acceptable terms.
We may
require additional funds for working capital and general corporate
purposes. We cannot provide assurance that adequate additional
financing will be available or, if available, will be offered on
acceptable terms.
Subsequent to December 31, 2018, the Company entered into a note
payable agreement for up to $500,000 with a related party. The note
has an interest rate of 7.5% and is due on August 31, 2026. The
Company borrowed $200,000 which remains outstanding. As
consideration for providing this financing, the Company granted a
stock option to purchase a total of 2,500,000 common shares at an
exercise price of $.02 or a total expense of
$14,250.
Moreover,
our IT services billings generate accounts receivable that are
generally paid within 30 to 60 days from the invoice date. The cost
of those sales generally consists of employee salaries and benefits
that we must pay prior to our receipt of the accounts receivable to
which these costs relate. We therefore need sufficient cash
resources to cover such employee-related costs which, in many
cases, require us to borrow funds at costly terms.
We have secured an accounts receivable financing line of credit
from an independent financial institution that allows us to sell
selected accounts receivable invoices to the financial institution
with full recourse against us in the amount of $2 million,
including a sublimit for one major client of $1.5 million. This
provides us with the cash needed to finance certain costs and
expenses. At December 31, 2018, we had no financing availability,
based on eligible accounts receivable under this line. We pay fees
based on the length of time that the invoice remains unpaid. As we
grow, additional working capital may be required to support this
difference in the timing of cash receipts versus payroll
disbursements. Moreover, our accounts receivable financing lender
may decide to cease subsequent advances at any time in its
discretion, upon our failure to meet certain contractual
requirements or upon the occurrence of certain events or
contingencies that are out of our control. In such event, our
short-term cash requirements would exceed available cash on hand
resulting in material adverse consequences to our
business.
Finally,
any additional equity financing and conversions by the holders of
existing notes payable to common stock will be dilutive to
stockholders. Debt financings, if available, may involve
restrictive covenants that further limit our ability to make
decisions that we believe will be in our best interests. If we
cannot obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us when
required, our operations will be materially adversely affected and
we may have to cease or substantially reduce
operations.
We rely on one customer for a large portion of our
revenues.
We depend on one customer for a large portion of our revenue.
During 2018, sales to one customer, including sales under
subcontracts, accounted for 69.5% of total sales and 10.5% of
accounts receivable at December 31, 2018. The loss of this customer
could have a significant impact on our revenues and harm our
business and results of operations.
Events affecting the credit markets may restrict our ability to
access additional financing.
Over the last several years, the U.S. and worldwide capital and
credit markets have experienced significant price volatility,
dislocations, and liquidity disruptions, which have caused market
prices of many stocks to fluctuate substantially and the spreads on
prospective debt financings to widen considerably. These
circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in certain
financial markets, making terms for certain financings less
attractive, costlier, and in some cases, have resulted in the
unavailability of financing. Continued uncertainty and volatility
in the capital and credit markets may negatively impact our
business, including our ability to access additional financing at
reasonable terms, which may negatively affect our ability to fund
current operations or expand our business. These events also may
make it more difficult or costly for us to raise capital through
the issuance of our debt and equity securities.
If we acquire businesses or business assets and do not successfully
integrate the acquisitions, our results of operations could be
adversely affected.
We may
grow our business by acquiring or investing in companies and
businesses and assets that we feel have synergy and will complement
our business plan. As such, we periodically evaluate potential
business combinations and investments in other companies and
assets. We may be unable to profitably manage businesses and assets
that we may acquire or invest in. We may fail to integrate these
businesses and assets successfully without incurring substantial
expenses, delays or other problems that could negatively impact our
results of operations.
Our investments in cybersecurity and other business initiatives may
not be successful.
We have
invested in and continue to invest in cybersecurity capabilities to
add new products and services to address the needs of our clients,
including our newly introduced product, Nodeware. Our investments
may not be successful or increase our revenues. If we are not
successful in creating value from our investments by increasing
sales, our financial condition and prospects could be
harmed.
If we fail to adequately manage the size of our business, it could
have a severe negative impact on our financial results or stock
price.
Our management believes that to be successful we must appropriately
manage the size of our business. This may mean reducing costs and
overhead in certain economic periods, and selectively growing in
periods of economic expansion. In addition, we will be required to
implement operational, financial and management information
procedures and controls that are efficient and appropriate for the
size and scope of our operations. The management skills and systems
currently in place may not be adequate and we may not be able to
manage any significant reductions or growth
effectively.
13
We may have difficulties in managing our growth.
Our
future growth depends, in part, on our ability to expand, train and
manage our employee base and provide support to an expanded client
base. We must also enhance and implement new operating and software
systems to accommodate our growth and expansion of IT product and
service offerings. If we cannot manage growth effectively, it could
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations,
business and financial condition. In addition, acquisitions,
investments and expansion involve substantial infrastructure costs
and working capital. We cannot provide assurance that we will be
able to integrate acquisitions, if any, and expansions efficiently.
Similarly, we cannot provide assurance that any investments or
expansion will enhance our profitability. If we do not achieve
sufficient sales growth to offset increased expenses associated
with our expansion, our results will be adversely
affected.
We depend on the continued services of our key
personnel.
Our
future success depends, in part, on the continuing efforts of our
senior executive officers. The loss of any of these key employees
may materially adversely affect our business.
Our future success depends on our ability to continue to retain and
attract qualified employees.
We
believe that our future success depends upon our ability to
continue to train, retain, effectively manage and attract highly
skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing personnel. This
includes skills for our new initiatives in cybersecurity. Employee
turnover is generally high in the IT services industry. If our
efforts in these areas are not successful, our costs may increase,
our sales efforts may be hindered, and the quality of our client
service may suffer. Although we invest significant resources in
recruiting and retaining employees, there is often significant
competition for certain personnel in the IT services industry. From
time to time, we experience difficulties in locating enough highly
qualified candidates in desired geographic locations, or with
required specific expertise.
We may lose revenue and our cash flow and profitability could be
negatively affected if expenditures are incurred prior to final
receipt of a contract or contract funding
modification.
We provide professional services and sometimes procure materials on
behalf of our clients under various contract arrangements. From
time to time, to ensure that we satisfy our clients’ delivery
requirements and schedules, we may elect, based on verbal
authorization, to initiate procurements or provide services in
advance of receiving formal written contractual authorization from
the government client or a prime contractor. If our government or
prime contractor requirements should change or the government
directs the anticipated procurement to a contractor other than us,
or if the materials become obsolete or require modification before
we are under contract for the procurement, our investment might be
at risk. If we do not receive the required funding, our cost of
services incurred that exceed contractual funding may not be
recoverable. This could reduce anticipated revenue or result in a
loss, negatively affecting our cash flow and
profitability.
Our employees or subcontractors may engage in misconduct or other
improper activities, which could cause us to lose
contracts.
While
we have ethics and compliance programs in place, we are exposed to
the risk that employee fraud or other misconduct could occur. We
may enter into arrangements with prime contractors and joint
venture partners to bid on and execute contracts or programs. As a
result, we are exposed to the risk that fraud or other misconduct
or improper activities by such persons may occur. Misconduct by
employees, prime contractors or joint venture partners could
include intentional failures to comply with federal laws, including
U.S. Government procurement regulations, proper handling of
sensitive or classified information, compliance with the terms of
our contracts that we receive, and falsifying time records or
failures to disclose unauthorized or unsuccessful activities to us.
These actions could lead to civil, criminal, and/or administrative
penalties (including fines, imprisonment, suspension and/or bars
from performing U.S. Government contracts) and harm our reputation.
The precautions we take to prevent and detect such activity may not
be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses,
and such misconduct by employees, prime contractors or joint
venture partners could result in serious civil or criminal
penalties or sanctions or harm to our reputation, which could cause
us to lose contracts or cause a reduction in revenue.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
Certain stockholders own a significant portion of our stock and may
delay or prevent a change in control or adversely affect the stock
price through sales in the open market.
As of June 20, 2019, one related party and one third party, who is
a former member of the board of directors, hold convertible notes
payable with the right to convert the notes payable and accrued
interest into shares of common stock at $.05 per share. If these
parties converted all principal and accrued interest into common
stock, these two individuals would own approximately 12.1% and
27.1%, respectively, (39.2% in the aggregate of our then
outstanding common stock, excluding stock options). However, such
notes may not be converted if such conversion would result
in a change in control which would limit the use of our net
operating loss carryforwards. We
estimate as of the date of this report that substantially all
convertible notes payable and accrued interest due to all related
parties could be converted to shares of common stock, without
affecting a change of control that would limit the use of our net
operating loss carryforwards.
The concentration of large percentages of ownership by a single
stockholder or a few stockholders may delay or prevent a change in
control. Additionally, the sale of a significant number of our
shares in the open market by a single stockholder or otherwise
could adversely affect our stock price.
14
The price of our common stock may be adversely affected by the
possible issuance of shares to third parties upon conversion of
outstanding notes.
We have three convertible notes outstanding to third parties that
are convertible into shares of common stock at prices ranging from
$.05 to $.25 per share. If these notes were converted into common
stock, the holders would receive 4,700,000 shares of our common
stock or approximately 13.9% of
our common stock then outstanding as of June 20,
2019.
Our stock price is volatile and could be further affected by events
not within our control.
The
trading price of our common stock has been volatile and will
continue to be subject to volatility in the trading markets and
other factors.
The
closing market price for our common stock varied between a low of
$.01 and a high of $.039 in 2018. This volatility may affect the
price at which a stockholder could sell its shares of common stock,
and the sale of substantial amounts of our common stock could
adversely affect the price of our common stock. Our stock price is
likely to continue to be volatile and subject to significant price
and volume fluctuations in response to market and other factors,
including variations in our quarterly operating results and
announcement by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions,
strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital
commitments.
Our common stock is currently
quoted on the Over The Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board. Because there
is a limited public market for our common stock, a stockholder may
not be able to sell shares when he or she wants.
We cannot assure you that an active
trading market for our common stock will ever
develop.
There
is limited trading in our common stock, and we cannot assure you
that an active public market for our common stock will ever
develop. The lack of an active public trading market means that a
stockholder may not be able to sell shares of common stock when
wanted, thereby increasing market risk. Until our common stock is
listed on an exchange, we expect that the shares will continue to
be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. However, an investor may find
it difficult to obtain accurate quotations regarding the common
stock’s market value. In addition, if we failed to meet the
criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would
be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to
persons other than established customers and accredited investors.
Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from
recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect
the shares liquidity. Moreover, our ability to obtain future
financing may be adversely affected by the consequences of our
common stock trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Our common stock may be considered a “penny stock” and
may be difficult to buy or sell.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted regulations
which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity
security that has a market or exercise price of less than $5.00 per
share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our
common stock is currently below $5.00 per share and therefore may
be designated as a “penny stock” according to SEC
rules. This designation requires any broker or dealer selling these
securities to disclose certain information concerning the
transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and
determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the
securities. These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or
dealers to accept our share certificates into a customer account
and may affect the ability of our stockholders to sell their
shares.

Business
Headquartered
in Pittsford, New York, Infinite Group, Inc. is a provider of
managed IT and virtualization services and a developer and provider
of cybersecurity tools and solutions to private businesses and
government agencies. As part of these services we:
16
●
design, develop and
market solutions and products that solve and simplify network
cybersecurity needs of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs),
government agencies, and certain large commercial enterprises. We
are a master distributor for Webroot, a cloud based security
platform solution, where we market to and provide support for over
350 reseller partners across North America;
●
provide level 2
Microsoft and Hewlett Packard server and software-based managed
services supporting enterprise customers through our partnership
with Perspecta Inc. (Perspecta); and
●
are an Enterprise
Level sales and professional services partner with VMware selling
virtualization licenses and solutions and providing virtualization
services support to commercial and government customers including
the New York State and Local Government and Education (SLED)
entities and the New York State Office of General Services (NYS
OGS). These activities take place in our virtualization sales
organization in conjunction with support from our professional
services organization (PSO).
Business Strategy
During 2018, with the objective of accelerating sales growth, we
continued our transition into becoming more cybersecurity focused
with both cybersecurity services and product development further
leveraging Nodeware, our first cybersecurity product.
Our
strategy is to build our business by designing, developing, and
marketing cybersecurity based services, products and solutions that
fill technology gaps in cybersecurity. We brought one patent
pending product to market and intend to bring other proprietary
products and solutions to market through a channel of domestic and
international partners and distributors. Our products and solutions
are designed to simplify the security needs in customer and partner
environments, with a focus on the mid-tier Enterprise market and
below. We enable our partners by providing recurring revenue based
business models for both recurring services and through our
automated and continuous security solutions. Products may be sold
as standalone solutions or integrated into existing environments to
further automate the management of security and related IT
functions. Our ability to succeed depends on how successful we are
in differentiating ourselves in the market at a time when
competition and consolidation in these markets is on the
rise.
Our
cybersecurity business is comprised of three components: managed
security services, product development and deployment, and
integration of third-party security solutions into our security
offerings to our channel and customers. We provide cybersecurity
services and technical consulting resources to support both our
channel partners and end customers. For example, we sell our
proprietary product, Nodeware, through both our direct partners and
through other 3rd party partner distribution and agents so they can
either sell it as a standalone solution or part of other technical
services they provide to their customers. This enables the channel
partner to develop a base of recurring revenue. We also provide our
cybersecurity services through our channel partners as a
cybersecurity overlay to the technical services they already
provide
Our
goal is to maintain our base of opportunities in our VMware
business in both the public and commercial sector.
Opportunistically, we will continue to identify license and
services engagements as they arise.
We are
working to expand our managed services business with our prime
partner, Perspecta, and the current federal enterprise customer and
its customers. The following sections define specific strategic
components of our business strategy.
Business Overview
We had
sales of approximately $6.4 million in 2018 and 2017. We generated
operating income of approximately $210,000 in 2018 as compared to
an operating loss of approximately $398,000 in 2017. We had a net
income of $37,000 in 2018 as compared to a net loss of $75,000 in
2017. We recorded other income of $569,999 in 2017 when we had no
further obligation to make certain debt payments. We derived
approximately 78% of our sales in 2018 and 79% in 2017 from
contracts as either a prime contractor or a
subcontractor.

Sales
For
2018 and 2017, in each year, our:
●
managed service and
virtualization project sales comprised approximately 70% of our
total sales;
●
commercial sales to
small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), were approximately 17%
of our total sales; and
●
cyber security
projects, Nodeware, agent sales, and other offerings comprise the
balance of our sales with 13%.
During 2018 and 2017, we delivered VMware virtualization software
licenses and project credits to New York State of approximately
$500,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. Since these are agent
sales and are reported net of cost of sales, we recorded sales of
$22,065 for 2018 and $48,308 for 2017.
Sales
of virtualization subcontract projects have continued to decrease
because VMware has assigned fewer projects to us. Our
virtualization subcontract project sales decreased by 12% from 2017
to 2018. Our virtualization sales increased by 20.7% for the fourth
quarter of 2018 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. Our goal
is to continue to expand our VMware business in both the public and
commercial sector by building VMware license sales volume and
services concurrently directly with customers rather than relying
on subcontract project services. Our commercial SME business
continues to establish new relationships with channel partners who
purchase IT solutions from us. We began to close sales of Nodeware
with our channel partners during 2017 and have seen continued
increases in sales in 2018. We expect continuing future sales from
Nodeware sales, security assessments and related projects by our
cybersecurity personnel.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of
sales principally represents the cost of employee services related
to our IT Services Group. In smaller amounts, we also incurred cost
of sales for third party software licenses for our commercial SME
partners.
Gross
profit increased by 13.7% although sales decreased by 0.3% for
2018. This was primarily due to increased gross profit earned by
our managed services business group. This was done by continued
cost controls in this group, especially related to reducing
headcount.
General and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses include corporate overhead such as
compensation and benefits for executive, administrative and finance
personnel, rent, insurance, professional fees, travel, and office
expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased in 2018
consisting of offsetting fluctuations in various expense items and
reductions in salaries of approximately $37,600, stock option
expense of approximately $23,100, and professional fees of
$26,900.
Selling Expenses
The
decrease in selling expenses in 2018 is principally due to the
reduction of employee salaries and benefits totaling $276,788 due
primarily to reduced headcount in the commercial SME and SLED
marketing teams and VMware team offset by growth to the Nodeware
sales team.
Operating Income
The
increase in our operating income for 2018 is attributable to an increase in our gross
profit of $266,234, decreases in our selling expenses of $276,788
and a reduction of our general and administrative expenses of
$64,610.
Other Income
On
October 17, 2011, in accordance with the Settlement Agreement with
the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”),
we became obligated to make annual future payments to the PBGC
through December 31, 2017 equal to a portion of our “Free
Cash Flow” as defined in the Settlement Agreement, not to
exceed $569,999. The annual obligation was contingent upon earning
free cash flow in excess of defined amounts. At December 31, 2017,
we had no further obligation to make payments. Accordingly, we
wrote off the balance and recorded other income of $569,999. In
2018, we wrote off a note and accrued interest to a debtholder in
the amount of $83,250.
Interest Expense
Interest expense includes interest on indebtedness, amortization of
loan fees and fees for financing accounts receivable
invoices. The increase in interest expense is principally
attributable to prime rate increases in 2018 as well as increased
borrowing from debtholders.
Net Income/Loss
The
increase in net income is attributable to the items discussed above
for 2018 as compared to 2017.
18
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At
December 31, 2018, we had cash of $29,716 available for working
capital needs and planned capital asset expenditures. During 2018,
we financed our business activities through cash flows provided by
operations and sales with recourse of our accounts receivable. Our
primary source of liquidity is cash provided by collections of
accounts receivable and our factoring line of credit. At December
31, 2018, we had no availability under this line. At December 31,
2018, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,593,000
and a current ratio of .11. Our objective is to improve our working
capital position through profitable operations and we may continue
to borrow to provide cash for working capital.
At
December 31, 2018, we have current notes payable of approximately
$332,500 to third parties, which includes convertible notes payable
of approximately $290,000. Also included is $12,500 in principal
amount of a note payable due on June 30, 2016 but not paid by then.
This note was issued in payment of software we purchased in
February 2015 and secured by a security interest in the software.
To date, the holder has not taken any action to collect the amount
past due on this note or to enforce the security interest in the
software.
We have
current maturities of long-term obligations of $686,000 due to
third parties This includes $246,000 due to the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the PBGC) with all principal due on
September 15, 2018, which has not been extended. We have maturities
of our long-term notes to third parties of $265,000 due on January
1, 2018 and $175,000 due on August 31, 2018, which has not been
modified or extended .
We have
current
maturities of long-term obligations of $34,350 due to related
parties. This includes a note payable for $25,000 due
to our Chief Operating Officer which matured on March 31, 2018 and
has not been paid. We also have current notes payable to
related parties of $102,000.
We plan
to renegotiate the terms of the notes payable, seek funds to repay
the notes or use a combination of both alternatives. Previously, we
have extended certain notes totaling $440,000 with certain third
party lenders. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to
repay current notes payable or obtain extensions of maturity dates
for long-term notes payable when they mature or that we will be
able to repay or otherwise refinance the notes at their scheduled
maturities.

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities
Our
operating cash flow is primarily affected by the overall
profitability of our contracts, our ability to invoice and collect
from our clients in a timely manner, and our ability to manage our
vendor payments. We bill our clients weekly or monthly after
services are performed, depending on the contract terms. Our net
income of $37,000 for 2018 includes noncash other income and
adjustments of $91,250. Our cash used in operating activities was
offset by non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization and
stock-based compensation of $25,653. In addition, a decrease in
accounts payable and accrued expenses of $304,051 and decreases in
accounts receivable and other assets of $202,526 resulted in net
cash used in operating activities of $130,122.
We are
marketing Webroot and Nodeware to our IT channel partners who
resell to their customers. We are making investments in expanding
our virtualization sales of projects and VMware licenses to our
customers. Due to the lengthy lead times typically needed to
generate these new sales, we do not expect to realize a return from
our sales and marketing personnel for one or more quarters. As a
result, we may continue to experience small operating income or
operating losses from these investments in personnel until
sufficient sales are generated. We expect to fund the cost for the
new sales personnel from our operating cash flows and incremental
borrowings, as needed.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
In 2018, we incurred capital expenditures for computer hardware. We
expect to continue to invest in computer hardware and software to
update our technology to support the growth of our
business.
Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities
During
2018, we borrowed $70,000 from a related party under the terms of a
demand note and $20,000 from a related party under the terms of our
LOC financing agreement. During 2018, we made principal payments of
$3,350 to a related party note holder.
We plan
to evaluate alternatives which may include renegotiating the terms
of the notes, seeking conversion of the notes to shares of common
stock and seeking funds to repay the notes. We continue to evaluate
repayment of our notes payable based on our cash flow.
Credit Resources
We maintain an accounts receivable financing line of credit from an
independent financial institution that allows us to sell selected
accounts receivable invoices to the financial institution with full
recourse against us in the amount of $2,000,000, including a
sublimit for one major client of $1,500,000. This provides us with
the cash needed to finance certain costs and expenses. At December
31, 2018, we had financing availability, based on eligible accounts
receivable, of approximately $0 under this line. We pay fees based
on the length of time that the invoice remains unpaid. We had
$35,635 of available to borrow under lines of credit as of December
31, 2018, as detailed below.
19
During
May 2019, we originated a line of credit for a $500,000 with a
related party and borrowed $200,000 and have $300,000 available to
borrow for working capital.
During
2017, we originated two lines of credit with related parties
totaling $175,000. At December 31, 2018, we had $15,000 available
under these financing agreements which mature in July 2022 and
January 2023, respectively.
On
December 1, 2014, we entered into an unsecured line of credit
financing agreement (the LOC Agreement) with a member of our board
of directors. The LOC Agreement provides for working capital of up
to $400,000 through January 1, 2020. At December 31, 2018, we had
$20,635 of availability under the LOC Agreement.
We believe the capital resources available under our factoring line
of credit, cash from additional related party and third-party loans
and cash generated by improving the results of our
operations provide sources to fund our ongoing operations and to
support our internal growth. Although we have no assurances, we
believe that related parties, who have previously provided working
capital, and third parties will continue to provide working capital
loans on similar terms, as in the past, as may be necessary to fund
our on-going operations for at least the next 12 months, however,
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern
has not been alleviated. If we experiences significant growth in
its sales, we belive that this may require us to increase our
financing line, finance additional accounts receivable, or obtain
additional working capital from other sources to support its sales
growth.
We
plan to evaluate alternatives which may include renegotiating the
terms of our notes, seeking conversion of the notes to shares of
common stock and seeking funds to repay our notes. We continue to
evaluate repayment of our notes payable based on its cash
flow.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
See Note 3 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of the
Company’s accounting policies and estimates.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the
information required by this Item.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The response to this item is submitted as a separate section of
this report beginning on page F-1.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting
and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) Rules
13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by
this report (the Evaluation Date). Based upon that evaluation, our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that
as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures
are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act
(i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the
time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii)
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and
procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all
fraud. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to
provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that
reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a control system
must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the
benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Infinite
Group have been detected.
(b) Management's Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management assessed the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2018. In making this assessment, our management
used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Our management has concluded
that, as of December 31, 2018, our internal control over financial
reporting was effective based on these criteria.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

audit committee reviews the scope and results of the audit and
other services provided by our independent registered public
accounting firm and our internal controls. The compensation
committee is responsible for the approval of compensation
arrangements for our officers and the review of our compensation
plans and policies. Each committee is comprised of Mr. Villa and
Mr. Reeve.
21
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our
audit committee is comprised of Mr. Villa, as chairman, and Mr.
Reeve. The Board has determined that Mr. Villa qualifies as our
audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined in Item
407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. Neither Mr. Villa nor Mr. Reeve is
independent for audit committee purposes under the definition
contained in Section 10A(m)(3) of the Exchange Act.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies
to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and
other persons performing similar functions, as well as all
employees and directors. This code of business conduct and ethics is posted on
our website at www.IGIus.com under Business Conduct
Guidelines.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Compliance
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and
persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our
equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than
ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish
us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely
on review of the copies of such forms furnished to us, or written
representations that no Forms 5 were required, we believe that all
required Section 16(a) filings were timely made for the year ended
December 31, 2018. With respect to any of our former directors,
officers, and greater than ten-percent stockholders, we have no
knowledge of any known failure to comply with the filing
requirements of Section 16(a).
Item 11. Executive Compensation
The
Summary Compensation Table below includes, for each of the years
ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, individual compensation for

600,000 shares of
our common stock at an exercise price of $.05 per share which

On September 30, 2016, the unsecured line of credit

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation
Plans
The
Company’s Board and stockholders approved a stock option
plans adopted in 2005, which has authority to grant options to
purchase up to an aggregate of 1,030,000 common shares at December
31, 2018. Since this plan has expired, no more options may be
granted.
As of
December 31, 2018, an aggregate of 348,000 shares were available
under our 2009 stock option plan (the 2009 Plan) for option grants.
The 2009 Plan was established in February 2009 to align the
interests of our employees, consultants, agents and affiliates with
those of our stockholders to incent them to increase their efforts
on our behalf and to promote the success of our business. Under the
2009 Plan up to 4,000,000 shares of common stock were authorized
for option grants. The 2009 Plan expired in February 2019.
Generally, the 2009 Plan is administered by the compensation
committee of the Board and provides (i) for the granting of
non-qualified stock options, (ii) that the maximum term for options
granted under the plan is 10 years and (iii) that the exercise
price for the options may not be less than 100% of the fair market
value of our common stock on the date of grant.
The
following table summarizes, as of December 31, 2018, the (i)
options granted under our option plans and (ii) all other
securities subject to contracts, options, warrants, and rights or
authorized for future issuance outside of our plans. The shares
covered by outstanding options or authorized for future issuance
are subject to adjustment for changes in capitalization stock
splits, stock dividends and similar events.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and
Director Independence
Officers, Directors, and Equity Investment
On July
12, 2018, we issued an unsecured demand note payable to Northwest
Hampton Holdings, LLC (Northwest) in the principal amount of
$70,000 with interest at 6% per annum. On June 19, 2017 and July
17, 2017, we issued unsecured demand notes payable to Northwest in
the principal amount of $12,000 with interest at 6% per annum. Mr.
James Villa, our Chief Executive Officer and President James Villa,
is the sole member of Northwest.
On June
29, 2017, we issued an unsecured demand note payable to Mr. Donald
Reeve, a member of our board, in the principal amount of $20,000
with interest at 6% per annum.
On July
18, 2017, we entered into an unsecured line of credit financing
agreement for $100,000 with Mr. Andrew Hoyen, our Chief Operating
Officer and member of our Board. The LOC Agreement provides for
working capital of up to $100,000 with interest at 6% due quarterly
through July 1, 2022. The principal balance owed was $90,000 at
December 31, 2017. In consideration for providing the financing,
Mr. Andrew Hoyen was granted an option to purchase 400,000 shares
of common stock at $.04 per share with
an estimated fair value of $9,960 using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. The option expires on July 31,
2022.
On
September 21, 2017, we entered into an unsecured line of credit
financing agreement for $75,000 with Mr. Harry Hoyen, a related
party. The LOC Agreement provides for working capital of up to
$75,000 with interest at 6% due quarterly through January 2, 2023.
The principal balance owed was $70,000 at December 31, 2018. In
consideration for providing the financing, Mr. Harry Hoyen was
granted an option to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock at
$.04 per share with an estimated fair
value of $4,080 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model. The option expires on January 2, 2023.
We are
obligated under a convertible note payable to Northwest. At March
25, 2019, Northwest is the holder of a convertible note bearing
interest at 6% with principal of $146,300 and convertible accrued
interest of $89,140 which matures on January 1, 2020 and is
convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price
of $.05 per share for a total of 4,708,793 shares. Principal of
$203,324 was reduced by payments of $53,700 during 2015 and $3,324
during 2014 on this note.
At
March 25, 2019, Mr. James Witzel, our Chief Financial Officer, is
the holder of a convertible note bearing interest at 6%, with
principal of $9,000 and convertible accrued interest of $6,288
which matures on January 1, 2021 and is convertible into shares of
our common stock at a conversion price of $.05 per share for a
total 305,762 shares.
The
interest rates on the notes payable to Northwest and Mr. Witzel
(collectively, the Notes) are adjusted annually, on January
1st of each year, to a rate
equal to the prime rate in effect on December 31st of the
immediately preceding year, plus one and one quarter percent, but
in no event less than 6% per annum. The interest rate was 6.75% at
March 25, 2019. The Notes are secured by a security interest in all
our assets.
Generally, upon notice, prior to the maturity date, note holders
can convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal on the
Notes. However, the Notes are not convertible into shares of our
common stock to the extent conversion would result in a change of
control which would limit the use of our net operating loss
carryforwards; provided, however, this limitation will not apply if
we close a transaction with another third party or parties that
results in a change of control which will limit the use of our net
operating loss carryforwards. Prior to any conversion, the holders of the Notes
are entitled to convert their Notes, on a pari passu basis and upon
any such participation the requesting note holder shall
proportionately adjust his conversion request such that, in the
aggregate, a change of control, which will limit the use of our net
operating loss carryforwards, does not occur; provided, however,
the right to participate is only available to a noteholder if his
Note is then convertible into 5% or more of our common
stock.
On
December 1, 2014, we entered into an unsecured line of credit
financing agreement with Mr. Donald W. Reeve, a member of our board
of directors which provides for working capital of up to $400,000.
We paid an origination fee consisting of (i) 600,000 shares of our
common stock valued at $30,000 and (ii) immediately exercisable
options to purchase 600,000 shares of our common stock at an
exercise price of $.05 valued at $23,400 using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. On September 30,
2016, the maturity date was extended from December 31, 2017 to
January 1, 2020. As consideration for extending the maturity date,
we granted an immediately exercisable option to purchase 800,000
common shares at $.04 per share with an estimated fair value of
$14,720 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The note balance was $379,365 at March
25, 2019 with interest at 8.35% payable monthly in
arrears.
On
February 12, 2015, we issued a note payable to Mr. Andrew Hoyen,
our Chief Administrative Officer and Senior Vice President of
Business Development, in the principal amount of $25,000 with
interest at 7% per annum which matures on March 31, 2019. At the
election of the holder, the principal of the note is convertible
into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $.10 per
share for a total of 250,000 shares.
Director Independence
Our Board has determined that Donald Reeve is independent in
accordance with the NASDAQ’s independence standards. Our
audit and compensation committees consist of Mr. Villa and Mr.
Reeve, of which only Mr. Reeve is sufficiently independent for
compensation committee purposes under NASDAQ’s standards and
neither of them is sufficiently independent for audit committee
purposes under NASDAQ’s standards due to their respective
beneficial ownership of our common stock.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
The
aggregate fees billed by our principal accounting firm, Freed
Maxick CPAs, P.C. for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
are as follows:
|
2018
|
2017
|
Audit
fees
|
$65,500
|
$75,100
|
Audit fees for 2018 and 2017 were for professional services
rendered for the audits of our annual financial statements and
reviews of the financial statements included in our Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q. There were no tax or other non-audit related
services provided by the independent accountants for 2018 and
2017.
As a matter of policy, each permitted non-audit service is
pre-approved by the audit committee or the audit committee’s
chairman pursuant to delegated authority by the audit committee,
other than de minimus non-audit services for which the pre-approval
requirements are waived in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the SEC.
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The audit committee charter provides that the audit committee will
pre-approve audit services and non-audit services to be provided by
our independent auditors before the accountant is engaged to render
these services. The audit committee may consult with management in
the decision-making process, but may not delegate this authority to
management. The audit committee may delegate its authority to
pre-approve services to one or more committee members, provided
that the designees present the pre-approvals to the full committee
at the next committee meeting.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INFINITE GROUP, INC.
DECEMBER 31,
2018
with
REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
F-1
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders
Infinite Group, Inc.
Opinion on the
Financial Statements
We have audited the
accompanying balance sheets of Infinite Group, Inc. (the Company)
as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related statements of
operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash
flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the
financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In
our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring
losses from operations, has negative working capital, a
stockholders’ deficiency, and will be dependent on obtaining
future financing. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regard to these matters also are described in Note 2. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a
public accounting firm registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with
U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in
accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we
are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion.
Our audits included performing
procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing
procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/ Freed
Maxick CPAs, P.C.
We have not been able
to determine the specific year that we began serving as the
Company’s auditor; however, we are aware that we have served
as the Company’s auditor since at least 1995.

INFINITE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. - BASIS OF
PRESENTATION AND BUSINESS
The
accompanying financial statements consist of the financial
statements of Infinite Group, Inc. (the Company).
The
Company operates in one segment, the field of information
technology (IT) consulting services, with all operations based in
the United States. The primary consulting services are
cybersecurity and VMWare support services. There were no
significant sales from customers in foreign countries during 2018
and 2017. All assets are located in the United States.
NOTE 2. - MANAGEMENT PLANS
The
Company reported operating income of $209,693 in 2018 and operating
loss of $397,939 in 2017, net income of $37,000 in 2018 and a net
loss of $75,000 in 2017, and stockholders’ deficiencies of
$4,000,094 and $4,038,564 at December 31, 2018 and 2017,
respectively. Accordingly, due to current working capital
deficiencies, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
The
Company’s mission is to drive shareholder value by developing
and bringing to market automated, cost effective, and innovative
cybersecurity technologies. The Company’s strategy is to
build its business by designing, developing, and marketing IT
security-based products and solutions that fill technology gaps in
cybersecurity.
The
Company brought one product to market and intends to bring other
proprietary products and solutions to market through a channel of
partners and distributors. The products and solutions are designed
to simplify the security needs in customer and partner
environments, with a focus on Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
(SMEs). The Company enables its partners by providing recurring
revenue-based business models that use its automated plug and play
solutions. Products may be sold as standalone solutions or
integrated into existing environments to further automate the
management of security and related IT functions. The
Company’s ability to succeed depends on how successful it is
in differentiating itself in the market at a time when competition
in these markets is on the rise. The Company works with its
partner, Webroot, to increase its base of channel partners and to
increase sales of Webroot’s cloud-based endpoint security
solution, with the objective of growing its recurring revenue
model.
The
Company’s cybersecurity services business is conducted within
its professional services organization (PSO). The Company provides
services and technical resources to support both its channel
partners and end customers. The Company’s goal is to expand
its VMware business in both the local government and commercial
sector by building VMware license sales volume and services
concurrently.
The
Company is working to expand its managed services business with its
current federal enterprise customer and its customers.
Nodeware - In May
2016, the Company filed a provisional patent application for its
proprietary product, Nodeware. In May 2017, the Company filed
a utility patent application for Nodeware. The patent application
is ready for examination by the U.S. patent application examiner.
The Company launched Nodeware in November 2016. Nodeware is an
automated vulnerability management solution that enhances security
by proactively identifying, monitoring, and addressing potential
vulnerabilities on networks, creating a safeguard against hackers
and ransomware with simplicity and affordability. Customers have
the option to purchase Nodeware or Nodeware Plus to accommodate the
varying network needs of their organizations. Nodeware provides a
value-based solution designed for SMEs with single subnet or
several subnets, whereas Nodeware Plus can accommodate larger
organizations with more advanced network needs.
F-7
INFINITE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Nodeware assesses
vulnerabilities in a computer network using scanning technology to
capture a comprehensive view of the security exposure of a network
infrastructure. Users receive alerts and view network information
through a proprietary dashboard. Continuous and automated internal
scanning and external on demand scanning are available within this
offering.
Nodeware 2.0 was
released to the market during 2017 providing the same solution with
a set of new features, such as credentialed vulnerability scanning.
This scans the customer’s system without requiring an agent,
providing a more comprehensive view of customer vulnerabilities.
This level of access often results in the discovery of more missing
patches or vulnerabilities that can then be addressed by following
instructions available within the Nodeware interface.
Nodeware
creates an opportunity for resellers, including managed service
providers, managed security service providers, distributors, and
value-added resellers. The Company sells Nodeware in the commercial
sector through its channel partners and agents.
Technology and Product Development - The
Company’s goal is to position its products and solutions to
enable vertical integration with other solutions. The Company has a
technology and product development strategy aligned with its
business strategy.
Cybersecurity Services - The Company
provides cybersecurity consulting services to channel partners and
direct customers across different vertical markets (banking,
healthcare, manufacturing, etc.). Its cybersecurity projects use
Nodeware to create a living document that a customer can use to go
forward on a path of continuous improvement for its overall IT
security. The Company validates overall network security with the
goal of maintaining the integrity of confidential client
information, preserving the continuity of services, and minimizing
potential data damage from attempted threats and
incidents.
Continue to Improve Operations and Capital
Resources
The
Company's goal is to increase sales and generate cash flow from
operations on a consistent basis. The Company uses a formal
financial review and budgeting process as a tool for improvement
that has aided expense reduction and internal performance. The
Company’s business plans require improving the results of its
operations in future periods.
During
2018, the Company borrowed $90,000 ($32,000 in 2017) from related
parties under the terms of demand notes.
During
2017, the Company originated lines of credit with related parties
totaling $175,000 and borrowed $140,000. At December 31, 2018, the
Company had approximately $15,000 available under these financing
agreements.
The
Company believes the capital resources available under its
factoring line of credit, cash from additional related party and
third-party loans and cash generated by improving the results of
its operations provide sources to fund its ongoing operations and
to support the internal growth of the Company. Although the Company
has no assurances, the Company believes that related parties, who
have previously provided working capital, and third parties will
continue to provide working capital loans on similar terms, as in
the past, as may be necessary to fund its on-going operations for
at least the next 12 months, however substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has not been
alleviated. If the Company experiences significant growth in its
sales, the Company believes that this may require it to increase
its financing line, finance additional accounts receivable, or
obtain additional working capital from other sources to support its
sales growth.
F-8
INFINITE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company plans to evaluate alternatives which may include
renegotiating the terms of the notes, seeking conversion of the
notes to shares of common stock and seeking funds to repay the
notes. The Company continues to evaluate repayment of its notes
payable based on its cash flow.
NOTE 3. - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounts Receivable - Credit is granted to substantially all
customers throughout the United States. The Company carries its
accounts receivable at invoice amount, less an allowance for
doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its
accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful
accounts, based on a history of past write-offs and collections and
current credit conditions. The Company’s policy is to not
accrue interest on past due receivables. Management determined that
an allowance of $22,000 for doubtful accounts was reasonably stated
at December 31, 2018 ($30,000 – 2017).
Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash
accounts in financial institutions. The cash accounts occasionally
exceed the federally insured deposit amount; however, management
does not anticipate nonperformance by financial institutions.
Management reviews the financial viability of these institutions on
a periodic basis.
Loan Origination Fees - The Company capitalizes the costs of
loan origination fees and amortizes the fees as interest expense
over the contractual life of each agreement which is shown as a
reduction of the debt.
Sale of Certain Accounts
Receivable - The Company has available a financing
line with a financial institution (the Purchaser). In connection
with this line of credit, the Company adopted FASB ASC 860
“Transfers and Servicing”. FASB ASC 860 provides
consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial
assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.
The Company has a factoring line with the Purchaser which enables
the Company to sell selected accounts receivable invoices to the
Purchaser with full recourse against the Company.
These
transactions qualify for a sale of assets since (1) the Company has
transferred all of its right, title and interest in the selected
accounts receivable invoices to the financial institution, (2) the
Purchaser may pledge, sell or transfer the selected accounts
receivable invoices, and (3) the Company has no effective control
over the selected accounts receivable invoices since it is not
entitled to or obligated to repurchase or redeem the invoices
before their maturity and it does not have the ability to
unilaterally cause the Purchaser to return the invoices. Under FASB
ASC 860, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes
the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities
it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has
been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when
extinguished.
Pursuant to the
provisions of FASB ASC 860, the Company reflects the transactions
as a sale of assets and establishes an accounts receivable from the
Purchaser for the retained amount less the costs of the transaction
and less any anticipated future loss in the value of the retained
asset. The retained amount is equal to 10% of the total accounts
receivable invoice sold to the Purchaser. The fee is charged at
prime plus 3.6% (effective rate of 9.1% at December 31, 2018)
against the average daily outstanding balance of funds
advanced.
The
estimated future loss reserve for each receivable included in the
estimated value of the retained asset is based on the payment
history of the accounts receivable customer and is included in the
allowance for doubtful accounts, if any. As collateral, the Company
granted the Purchaser a first priority interest in accounts
receivable and a blanket lien, which may be junior to other
creditors, on all other assets.
F-9
INFINITE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
financing line provides the Company the ability to finance up to
$2,000,000 of selected accounts receivable invoices, which includes
a sublimit for one of the Company’s customers of
$1,500,000. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the
Company sold approximately $5,181,140 ($4,611,000 - 2017) of its
accounts receivable to the Purchaser. As of December 31,
2018, $363,213 ($4,486 - 2017) of these receivables remained
outstanding. Additionally, as of December 31, 2018, the
Company had no availability under the financing line with the
financial institution ($376,000 - 2017). After deducting
estimated fees and advances from the Purchaser, the net receivable
from the Purchaser amounted to $36,213 at December 31, 2018 ($449 -
2017) and is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying
balance sheets as of that date.
There
were no gains or losses on the sale of the accounts receivable
because all were collected. The cost associated with the financing
line was approximately $53,600 for the year ended December 31, 2018
($47,600 - 2017). These financing line fees are classified on the
statements of operations as interest expense.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at
cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives for
financial statement purposes. The cost of improvements to leased
properties is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the
life of the improvement. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense as incurred while improvements are
capitalized.
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets -
The Company follows provisions of FASB ASC 360 “Property,
Plant and Equipment” in accounting for the impairment of
disposal of long-lived assets. This standard specifies, among other
things, that long-lived assets are to be reviewed for potential
impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the
carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company determined
that there was no impairment of long-lived assets during 2018 and
2017.
Revenue Recognition – Effective January 1, 2018, the
Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective approach
and applied the guidance to those contracts which were not
completed as of January 1, 2018. Adoption of Topic 606 did not
impact the timing of revenue recognition in the Company’s
financial statements for the current or prior periods. Accordingly,
no adjustments have been made to opening retained earnings or prior
period amounts.
The
Company’s revenues are generated under both time and material
and fixed price agreements. Managed Support services revenue
is recognized when the associated costs are incurred, which
coincides with the consulting services being provided. Time
and materials service agreements are based on hours worked and are
billed at agreed upon hourly rates for the respective position plus
other billable direct costs. Fixed price service agreements
are based on a fixed amount of periodic billings for recurring
services of a similar nature performed according to the contractual
arrangements with clients. These agreements are arrangements
for monthly or weekly support services. Under both types of
agreements, the delivery of services occurs when an employee works
on a specific project or assignment as stated in the contract or
purchase order. Based on historical experience, the Company
believes that collection is reasonably assured.
The
Company sells licenses of Nodeware and third-party software,
principally Webroot. Substantially all customers are invoiced
monthly at fixed rates for license fees.
The
Company sells VMware software and service credits. Sales are
recorded upon receipt of the software or credits by the customer.
The Company does not take title to the software or credits.
Accordingly, the Company accounts for these as agent sales and
reduces its sales amount by the related cost of sales.
F-10
INFINITE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company’s total revenue recognized from contracts with
customers was comprised of three major services: Managed support
services, Cybersecurity projects and software and Other IT
consulting services. The categories depict how the nature, amount,
timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by
economic factors. There were no material unsatisfied performance
obligations at December 31, 2018 or 2017 for contracts with an
expected original duration of more than one year. The following
table summarizes the revenue recognized by the major
services:

Managed support services
Managed
support services consist of revenue primarily from our subcontracts
for services to its end clients, principally a major establishment
of the U.S. Government for which the Company manages one of the
nation’s largest physical and virtual Microsoft Windows
environments.
● Revenues are generated primarily
from these subcontracts through fixed price service and support
agreements. Revenues are earned and billed weekly and are
generally paid within 45 days. Revenues are recognized at time of
service.
Cyber security projects and software
Cyber
security projects and software revenue includes the selling of
licenses of Nodeware™ and third-party software, principally
Webroot™ as well as performing cybersecurity assessments and
testing.
● Nodeware™ and Webroot™
software offerings consist of fees generated from the use of the
respective software by customers. Revenue is recognized on a
ratable basis over the contract term beginning on the date that our
service is made available to the customer. Substantially all
customers are billed in the month of the service and is cancellable
upon notice per the respective agreements. Substantially all
payments are electronically billed, and the billed amounts are paid
to the Company instantaneously via an online payment platform. If
payments are made in advance, revenues related to the term
associated with our software licenses is recognized ratably over
the contractual period.
● Certain customers have the option
to purchase additional subscription and support services at a
stated price. These options generally do not provide a material
right as they are priced at the Company’s standalone selling
price.
● Cybersecurity assessments and
testing services are considered distinct performance obligations
when sold stand alone or with other products. These contracts
generally have terms of one year or less. For substantially all
these contracts, revenue is recognized when the specific
performance obligation is satisfied. If the contract has
multiple performance obligations, the revenue is recognized when
the performance obligations are satisfied. Depending on the nature
of the service, the amounts recognized are based on an allocation
of the transaction price to each performance obligation or based on
a relative standalone selling price of the products
sold.
F-11
INFINITE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
● In substantially all agreements, a
50% to 75% down payment is required before work is initiated. Down
payments received are deferred until revenue is
recognized.
Other IT consulting services
Other
IT consulting services consists of services such as project
management and general IT consulting services.
● Revenue is generated via fixed
price service agreements. These are based on periodic
billings of a fixed dollar amount for recurring services of a
similar nature performed according to the contractual arrangements
with clients. Revenues are recognized at time of
service.
Based
on historical experience, the Company believes that collection is
reasonably assured.
During
2018, sales to one client, including sales under subcontracts for
services to several entities, accounted for 69.5% of total sales
(69.6% - 2017) and 10.5% of accounts receivable at December 31,
2018 (67.5% - 2017).
Sales and Cost of Sales - The Company
designates certain sales of third party software and project
credits as agent sales where the Company does not have the
performance obligation to deliver the software or credits to the
end user. Accordingly, cost of sales is recorded as a reduction of
sales and only the gross profit is included in sales in the
accompanying statements of operations. For the years ended December
31, 2018 and 2017, the Company designated agent sales of $488,314
and $1,216,360, respectively. The related accounts receivables and
accounts payable are recorded on a gross basis in the accompanying
balance sheets.
Stock Options - The Company recognizes
compensation expense related to stock-based payments over the
requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the
awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to
determine the estimated fair value of the awards.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income tax expense in accordance with FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. 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 the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
The
Company periodically reviews tax positions taken to determine if it
is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon
examination. The Company did not have any material unrecognized tax
benefit at December 31, 2018 or 2017. The Company recognizes
accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017,
the Company recognized no interest and penalties.
The
Company files U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in various
states. The tax years 2014 through 2018 remain open to examination
by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is
subject.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted on
December 22, 2017. In accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, the Company has accounted for the impact of the
provisions in the Tax Act during the years ended December 31, 2018
and 2017.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
- The Company has determined
the fair value of debt and other financial instruments using a
valuation hierarchy. The hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs
used in measuring fair value, consists of three
levels.
Level 1
uses observable inputs such as quoted prices in active
markets;
Level 2
uses inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are
either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3
is defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data
exist and requires the Company to develop its own
assumptions.
The
hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level
3 measurements).
The
carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable
and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value
due to their short maturity. Based on the borrowing rates currently
available to the Company for loans similar to its term debt and
notes payable, the fair value approximates the carrying
amounts.
Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per
share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per
share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding, as well as dilutive potential common shares which, in
the Company’s case, comprise shares issuable under
convertible notes payable and stock options. The treasury stock
method is used to calculate dilutive shares, which reduces the
gross number of dilutive shares by the number of shares purchasable
from the proceeds of options and notes assumed to be exercised. In
a loss year, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per
share is the same, as the impact of potential common shares is
anti-dilutive.
The
following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
loss per share as of December 31, 2018 and 2017:

anti-dilutive because the exercise prices were greater than the
average market price of the common shares or their inclusion would
have been anti-dilutive.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Equity Investments
- The Company accounts for investments in equity
securities of other entities under the cost method of accounting if
investments in voting equity interests of the investee are less
than 20%. The equity method of accounting is used if the
Company’s investment in voting stock is greater than or equal
to 20% but less than a majority. In considering the
accounting method for investments less than 20%, the Company also
considers other factors such as its ability to exercise significant
influence over operating and financial policies of the
investee. If certain factors are present, the Company
could account for investments for which it has less than a 20%
ownership under the equity method of accounting. There are no
material equity investments as of December 31, 2018 or
2017.
Reclassifications - The Company reclassifies amounts in
its prior year financial statements to conform to the current
year’s presentation.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).
Topic 842 (as amended by ASU’s 2018-01, 10, 11, and 20)
amended guidance for lease arrangements to increase transparency
and comparability by providing additional information to users of
financial statements regarding an entity's leasing activities. The
revised guidance seeks to achieve this objective by requiring
reporting entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities
on the balance sheet for substantially all lease arrangements. The
new leasing standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim
periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15,
2018 (January 1, 2019 for the Company). Early adoption is
permitted. The original guidance required application on a modified
retrospective basis to the earliest period presented. ASU 2018-11,
Targeted Improvements to ASC 842, includes an option to not restate
comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective
date of ASC 842 as the date of initial application of transition.
The Company adopted the new standard on the effective date applying
the new transition method allowed under ASU 2018-11 and will add
approximately $266,000 to long-term assets, $69,000 to short-term
liabilities and $197,000 to long-term liabilities.

$.04 per share with an estimated fair value of $14,720 using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which is being amortized
ratably over the period January 1, 2018 through December 31,

On March 14, 2016, the Company entered into
an unsecured financing agreement with a third-party lender
(“2016 Note Payable”). In consideration for providing

January 2, 2023.
The
fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following
assumptions. Volatility is based on the Company’s historical
volatility. The expected life of the options was determined using
the simplified method for plain vanilla options as stated in FASB
ASC 718 to improve the accuracy of this assumption while
simplifying record keeping requirements until more detailed
information about the Company’s exercise behavior is
available. The risk-free rate for the life of the option is based
on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
grant.
The
following assumptions were used for the years ended December 31,
2018 and 2017.

At
December 31, 2018, there was approximately $7,300 of total
unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding non-vested
options, which excludes non-vested options for which the option
expense cannot be presently quantified. This cost is expected to be
recognized over a weighted average period of approximately one
year. The total fair value of shares vested during the year ended
December 31, 2018 was approximately $1,000.
The
weighted average fair value of options granted was $.01 and $.03
per share for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017,
respectively. The exercise price for all options granted equaled or
exceeded the market value of the Company’s common stock on
the date of grant.

At
December 31, 2018, the Company had federal net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $7,600,000 ($8,200,000 - 2017) and
various state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$3,400,000 ($3,300,000 - 2017) which expire from 2019 through
2038. These carryforwards exclude federal net operating loss
carryforwards from inactive subsidiaries and net operating loss
carryforwards from states that the Company does not presently
operate in. Utilization of the net operating loss
carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due
to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal
Revenue Code and similar state provisions. The annual limitation
may result in the expiration of the net operating loss
carryforwards before utilization.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At
December 31, 2018, a net deferred tax asset, representing the
future benefit attributed primarily to the available net operating
loss carryforwards and defined benefit plan expenses in the amount
of approximately $1,998,000 ($2,326,000 - 2017), had been fully
offset by a valuation allowance because management believes that
the statutory limitations on utilization of the operating losses
and concerns over achieving profitable operations diminish the
Company’s ability to demonstrate that it is more likely than
not that these future benefits will be realized before they
expire.

On
December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax
legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the
“Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes
to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, (1) reducing
the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%; (2)
eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) and
changing how existing AMT credits can be realized; (3) changing
rules related to usage and limitation of net operating loss
carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31,
2017; (4) generally eliminating U.S. federal income taxes on
dividends from foreign subsidiaries for tax years beginning after
December 31, 2017; and (5) implementing a territorial tax system
and imposing a transition toll tax on deemed repatriated earnings
of foreign subsidiaries.
