Special
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains
various forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities
Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the “Exchange Act”) and other laws. Forward-looking
statements consist of, among other things, trend analyses,
statements regarding future events, future financial performance,
our plan to build our business and the related expenses, our
anticipated growth, trends in our business, our ability to continue
as a going concern, and the sufficiency of our capital resources
including funds that we may be able to raise under our convertible
note facility, our ability to raise financing from other sources
and/or ability to defer expenditures, the impact of the liens on
our assets securing amounts owed to third parties, expectation
regarding competitors as more and larger companies attempt to
market products/services competitive to our products, market
acceptance of our new product offerings, including updates to our
Platform, rate of new user subscriptions, market penetration of our
products and expectations regarding our revenues and
expenses, all of which are based on current
expectations, estimates, and forecasts, and the beliefs and
assumptions of our management. Words such as “expect,”
“anticipate,” “project,”
“intend,” “plan,” “estimate,”
variations of such words, and similar expressions also are intended
to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions
that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ
materially and adversely from those expressed in any
forward-looking statements. Readers are directed to risks and
uncertainties identified under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk
Factors,” and elsewhere in this report for factors that may
cause actual results to be different than those expressed in these
forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake
no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking
statements for any reason.
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS
General
MobileSmith, Inc.
(referred to herein as, “MobileSmith,” the
“Company,” “us,” “we,” or
“our”) was incorporated in Delaware in August 1993 and
became a public company through a self-registration in February
2005.
Principal Products and Services
MobileSmith is a developer of software applications
for the healthcare industry. Our software products include a
cloud-based collection of
applications that run on our architected healthcare technology
ecosystem. The architecture is designed to do the
following:
●
improve experience
of healthcare patients and consumers, who are often at the same
time members of various medical insurance networks
●
optimize delivery
of healthcare and relationship between members and insurance
networks
●
increase adoption,
utilization and intelligence of EMRs (electronic medical records),
extend EMR's usability to patients and consumers of
healthcare
Since 2013 the
Company focused exclusively on the development of do-it-yourself
customer facing platform that enabled organizations to rapidly
create, deploy, and manage custom, native smartphone and tablet
apps deliverable across iOS and Android mobile platforms without
writing a single line of code. During 2017 the Company
concluded that it had its highest rate of success with clients
within the Healthcare industry and concentrated its development and
sales and marketing efforts in that industry. During 2018 we
further refined our Healthcare offering and redefined our product -
a suite of e-health mobile solutions that consist of a catalog of
ready to deploy mobile app solutions (App Blueprints) and support
services. In 2019 and 2020 we consolidated our current
solutions under a single offering branded Peri™.
Peri™ is
designed to bridge the gap between healthcare industry system tools
and healthcare consumer's mobile device.
From time to time
we have provided custom software development
services. Such services are not core to our business model
and will likely decrease in significance in the
future.
3
Target Market and Sales Channels
During 2017 we completed a
strategic shift and focused our business and research and
development activities primarily on the Healthcare industry in the
United States. In 2018 we refined our healthcare focus by
identifying two target markets: (i) healthcare providers (including
hospitals, hospital systems and the United States Veterans Health
Administration) and (ii) healthcare payer market (including
insurance companies and insurance brokers).
Both markets are
targeted with a diversified sales workforce that includes direct
sales and resellers, such as channel
partners.
Principal
Customers
During 2019 we increased our services to a government agency and
the revenue from that relationship comprised 17% of our recognized
aggregate revenue. This same customer accounted for
12% of recognized revenue in 2020. The contract with this
customer was completed in 2020. Such services are not core to our
business model and unlikely to be significant in the
future.
For the year ended
December 31, 2020, one customer accounted for 12% of the
Company’s revenue. Two customers accounted for 91% of the net
accounts receivable balance as of December 31,
2020.
During
2017 and 2018 we focused our technological and design efforts on
our Blueprint features, that dominated our offering to healthcare
providers in 2019 (Blueprint is a
fully customizable pre-built app targeting specific healthcare
related business function or health
condition).
During 2019 we
invested heavily in development of our Peri™ solution,
which was introduced to the market during that year and in 2020 we
continued to refine the product and add
features.
4
Competition
We have been
successful in penetrating the
healthcare provider technology market and developed extensive
expertise in the industry. With many of our customers we
enjoy five-plus year relationships. However, the healthcare
provider technology industry is highly competitive. Our
competitors range from successful established companies to emerging
start-ups. Many of these companies have significantly greater
financial, personnel, and other resources than we do.
Moreover, more companies enter the industry and market every
year. As a result of this, we expect the competition we face
to grow stronger in the next five years.
Intellectual
Property
During 2014, we
stopped pursuing the majority of our patent applications as we
determined that the cost of pursuing them is greater than the
potential protection provided by them. Since then we have
been granted one patent associated with our
technology.
We also have
several trademarks registered and pending with the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office. These trademarks cover certain brand names of our
offerings.
Employees
As of December 31,
2020, we had 28 full time employees and no part-time employees.
None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining
agreements.
Available

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below and
elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before making an
investment decision. Our business, financial condition or results
of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of
these risks. Our common stock is considered speculative and the
trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these
risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The
following risk factors are not the only risk factors facing the
Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to
us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our
business.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have materially affected how
we and our customers are operating our businesses, and the duration
and extent to which this will impact our future results of
operations and overall financial performance remains
uncertain.
Conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted
our main customer base - healthcare providers in the United States.
Healthcare providers in many states were overwhelmed with COVID-19
patients during 2020 and beginning of 2021. Many hospitals halted
elective and critical surgical procedures, which are the main
target of our primary Peri™ offering. Many hospitals
furloughed their non-essential staff or re-assigned their staff to
intensive care units. We have experienced difficulties in our
selling process, in engaging decision makers within hospital
organizations. Travel limitations have also restricted access to
our current and potential customers.
Elective surgeries are a significant component of hospital
revenues. Without such revenue healthcare systems may incur
significant losses from operations and reduced cashflows. We may
experience an increase in non-renewals for subscription to our
software products or adverse changes to the payment terms under
existing contracts.
If the COVID-19 pandemic has an extended substantial impact on our
employees and customers, our results of operations, our liquidity
and access to financing may be negatively
impacted.
A
default by us in respect to the amounts outstanding on the notes
outstanding under the commercial bank loan when due in 2022 would
enable the bank to foreclose on our assets.
The Company has an
outstanding Loan and
Security Agreement (the “LSA”) with Comerica Bank in
the amount of $5,000,000, which matures in June of 2022 and
is secured by an extended irrevocable letter of credit
issued by UBS AG (Geneva, Switzerland) (“UBS AG”) with
a renewed term expiring on May 31, 2021, which term is renewable
for one year periods, unless notice of non-renewal is given by UBS
AG at least 45 days prior to the then current expiration
date. The provision of any such notice by UBS will
constitute an event of default under the LSA, at which time all
amounts outstanding under the LSA will become due and payable. As
of the filing date of this Form 10-K, no such notice has been
provided to us nor have we been provided with any indication that
we are to receive notice of non-renewal of the letter of
credit. We also have no
commitments of funding should UBS elect to not renew the letter of
credit.
Any foreclosure
efforts under the LSA could force us to substantially
curtail or cease our operations.
Historically,
we have operated at a loss, and we continue to do so.
We have had
recurring losses from operations and continue to have negative cash
flows. If we do not become cash flow positive through additional
financing or growth, we may have to cease operations and liquidate
our business.
We
are dependent on existing and other investors for the financing of
our operations and their inability or unwillingness to fund our
operations can have a material adverse effect on our
operations.
Since
inception, we have not yet achieved positive
cash flows from operations, and our main source of operating funds
since 2007 was the sale of notes under two convertible note
facilities that we implemented and through issuance of subordinated
promissory notes. See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. In
December of 2020 and January of 2021 we exchanged all non-bank debt
into Series A Convertible Preferred stock (the "Series A
Preferred") with the same investors. We expect to finance our
operations through issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
going forward. If financing
through issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock becomes
unavailable, we will need to seek other sources of
funding. The inability to raise additional funds when
needed on terms acceptable to us may have a material adverse effect
on our operations.
The fact that there is substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern may
negatively affect our ability to raise additional funds, among
other things. If we fail to raise sufficient capital, we will not
be able to implement our business plan, we may have to liquidate
our business, and you may lose your investment.
Our audited
financial statements underscore doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. Such disclosure could
materially limit our ability to raise additional funds by issuing
new equity or debt securities or otherwise. If we fail to raise
sufficient capital, we will not be able to implement our business
plan and, we may have to liquidate our business, which may result
in the loss of your entire investment. You should consider
disclosures related to the going concern that we have made in our
financial statements when determining if an investment in us is
suitable.
6
The
delivery of software via the SaaS business model is more vulnerable
to cyber-crime than the sale of pre-packaged software.
Our service
involves the storage and transmission of customers’
proprietary information. If our security measures are breached as a
result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or
otherwise and, as a result, unauthorized access is obtained to our
customers’ data or our data, our reputation could be damaged,
our business may suffer, and we could incur significant liability.
In addition, third parties may attempt to fraudulently induce
employees or customers to disclose sensitive information such as
user names, passwords, or other information in order to gain access
to our customers’ data or our data, which could result in
significant legal and financial exposure and a loss of confidence
in the security of our service that would harm our future business
prospects. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized
access, or to sabotage systems, change frequently and generally are
not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to
anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative
measures. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs,
the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures
could be harmed and we could lose sales and customers.
Our
business is currently dependent on the success of a single product,
Peri® offering.
Our business model
is dependent on the commercial success of Peri™. Our future
financial performance and revenue growth will depend on acceptance
by the market of our product. If the market does
not accept Peri™ as a viable product to address the
market’s needs, it will have a materially adverse impact on
our business.
Government
regulation may subject us to liability or require us to change the
way we do business.
The laws and
regulations that govern our business change rapidly. Evolving areas
of law that are relevant to our business include privacy and
security laws, proposed encryption laws, content regulation,
information security accountability regulation, sales and use tax
laws and regulations and attempts to regulate activities on the
Internet. In addition to being directly subject to certain
requirements of the HIPAA privacy and security regulations, we are
required through contracts with our customers known as
“business associate agreements” to protect the privacy
and security of certain personal and health related information. We
are required to comply with revised requirements under the HIPAA
privacy and security regulations. The rapidly evolving and
uncertain regulatory environment could require us to change how we
do business or incur additional costs. Further, we cannot predict
how changes to these laws and regulations might affect our
business. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations
could subject us to civil and criminal penalties, subject us to
contractual penalties, including termination of our customer
agreements, damage our reputation and have a detrimental impact on
our business.
We
may be found to infringe on intellectual property rights of
others.
Third parties,
including customers, may in the future assert claims or initiate
litigation related to exclusive patent, copyright, trademark, and
other intellectual property rights to technologies and related
standards that are relevant to us. Because of the existence of a
large number of patents in the mobile apps field, the secrecy of
some pending patents, and the rapid rate of issuance of new
patents, it is not economically practical or even possible to
determine in advance whether a product or any of its components
infringes or will infringe on the patent rights of others. The
asserted claims and/or initiated litigation can include claims
against us or our manufacturers, suppliers, or customers, alleging
infringement of their proprietary rights with respect to our
existing or future products or components of those products.
Regardless of the merit of these claims, they can be
time-consuming, result in costly litigation and diversion of
technical and management personnel, or require us to develop a
non-infringing technology or enter into license agreements. Where
claims are made by customers, resistance even to unmeritorious
claims could damage customer relationships. There can be no
assurance that licenses will be available on acceptable terms and
conditions, if at all, or that our indemnification by our suppliers
will be adequate to cover our costs if a claim were brought
directly against us or our customers. Furthermore, because of the
potential for high court awards that are not necessarily
predictable, it is not unusual to find even arguably unmeritorious
claims settled for significant amounts. If any infringement or
other intellectual property claim made against us by any third
party is successful, if we are required to indemnify a customer
with respect to a claim against the customer, or if we fail to
develop non-infringing technology or license the proprietary rights
on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, our business,
operating results, and financial condition could be materially and
adversely affected.
Our exposure to
risks associated with the use of intellectual property may be
increased as a result of acquisitions, as we have a lower level of
visibility into the development process with respect to such
technology or the care taken to safeguard against infringement
risks.
7
Officers, directors, principal stockholders and other related
parties control us. This might lead them to make decisions that do
not align with interests of minority
stockholders.
Our principal
stockholders beneficially own or control a large percentage of our
outstanding common stock. Certain of these principal stockholders
hold Series A Convertible Preferred equity, which may be exercised
or converted into additional shares of our common stock under
certain conditions. The holders of Series A Preferred shares have
designated a representative to act as their agent. We have agreed
that the representative shall be granted access to our facilities
and personnel during normal business hours, shall have the right to
attend all meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees,
and shall receive all materials provided to the Board of Directors
or any committee. In addition, so long as the Series A Preferred
shares are outstanding, we have agreed that we will not take
certain material corporate actions without approval of the
Agent.
Our principal
stockholders, acting together, would have the ability to control
substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for
approval (including the election and removal of directors and any
merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our
assets) and to control our management and affairs. Accordingly,
this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying,
deferring, or preventing a change in control of us; impeding a
merger, consolidation, takeover, or other business combination
involving us; or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a
tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which
in turn could materially and adversely affect the market price of
our common stock.
Mr. Avy Lugassy
controls Grasford Investments Ltd. (“Grasford”) and
other entities of which he is either a beneficial owner or
exercises significant influence or control. As of the date of
this report , Grasford holds 10,054,045 , or 35.6%, of the
Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. In
addition, Avy Lugassy holds or controls approximately 459,230 in
Series A Preferred shares, which are convertible at the election of
the holder into additional 13,776,900 shares of common stock. Being
a significant owner of our company, Mr. Lugassy may exercise
significant influence on our operations through his ability to vote
his shares.
In addition, as of
the date of this report, Union Bancaire Privée
(“UBP”) holds 7,167,832, or 25.4% of
the
Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and
approximately 695,728 in Series A Preferred shares convertible into
additional 20,871,840 shares of common stock . Because UBP may
convert its Series A Preferred shares, if UBP so converts, it would
acquire a significant percentage of our shares of common stock and,
like Grasford, would be able to exercise significant influence on
the Company’s operations as a result.
Future
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be
limited.
In accordance with
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a
change in equity ownership of greater than 50% of the Company
within a three-year period can result in an annual limitation on
the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss
carryforwards that were created during tax periods prior to the
change in ownership. A change in ownership may result from the
issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to
conversion of the Series A Preferred or any other event that
results in the issuance of common or preferred shares of the
Company, among other events.
Any
future issuance of our shares of common stock could have a dilutive
effect on the value of our existing shares of common
stock.
The conversion
price on our outstanding Series A Preferred stock is 30 shares of
common for one share of preferred, which equates to purchase price
of one share of common stock for every $1.43 of investment into
convertible notes or Series A Preferred Shares and on March 22,
2021 the closing price of our stock was $3.23 per share. As
of the date of this report, we have 1,277,377 of Series A Preferred
outstanding convertible into 38,321,310 shares of common stock,
which would more than double our current number of shares of common
stock outstanding. As we continue to issue more of the Series
A Preferred, the number of conversion shares will
increase.
8
The
ability of our Board of Directors to issue additional stock may
prevent or make more difficult certain transactions, including a
sale or merger of the Company.
Our Board of
Directors is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock with powers, rights and preferences designated by
it, of which it designated 1,750,000 for Series A Convertible
Preferred stock. Shares of voting or convertible preferred
stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be
issued, to create voting impediments or to frustrate persons
seeking to affect a takeover or otherwise gain control of the
Company. The ability of the Board of Directors to issue such
additional shares of preferred stock, with rights and preferences
it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to
acquire control of the Company by tender offer or other means.
Such issuances could therefore deprive stockholders of
benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the
realization of a premium over the market price for their shares in
a tender offer or the temporary increase in market price that such
an attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such
additional shares of preferred stock to persons friendly to the
Board of Directors could make it more difficult to remove incumbent
officers and directors from office even if such change were to be
favorable to stockholders generally.
There
currently is very limited public market for our common stock and
there can be no assurance that a more active public market will
ever develop. Failure to develop or maintain a trading market could
negatively affect the value of our common stock and make it
difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares.
There is currently
a very limited public market for shares of our common stock and a
more active one may never develop. Our Common Stock is quoted on
the OTC Markets, QB Tier. The OTC Markets is a thinly traded market
and lacks the liquidity of certain other public markets with which
some investors may have more experience. Our shares of common stock
are traded infrequently and even an insignificant investment in our
shares of common stock may be illiquid.
We may not ever be
able to satisfy the listing requirements for our common stock to be
listed on a national securities exchange, which is often a more
widely traded and liquid market. Some, but not all, of the factors
which may delay or prevent the listing of our common stock on a
more widely-traded and liquid market include the following: our
stockholders’ equity may be insufficient; the market value of
our outstanding securities may be too low; our net income from
operations may be too low; our common stock may not be sufficiently
widely held; we may not be able to secure market makers for our
common stock; and we may fail to meet the rules and requirements
mandated by the several exchanges and markets to have our common
stock listed. Should we fail to satisfy the initial listing
standards of the national exchanges, or our common stock is
otherwise rejected for listing, and remains listed on the OTC
Markets or is suspended from the OTC Markets, the trading price of
our common stock could suffer and the trading market for our common
stock may be less liquid and our common stock price may be subject
to increased volatility, making it difficult or impossible to sell
shares of our common stock.
Penny
Stock Regulations are applicable to investment in shares of our
common stock.
Broker-dealer
practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are
regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the SEC. Penny
stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than
$5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national
securities exchanges, provided that current prices and volume
information with respect to transactions in such securities are
provided by the exchange or system). Penny stock rules require a
broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not
otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk
disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks
and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also
must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for
the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements
showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's
account. In addition, penny stock rules generally require that
prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable
investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written
agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may
have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the
secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to penny stock
rules. Many brokers will not deal with penny stocks, restricting
the market for our shares of common stock.
We
do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our shares of common
stock; thus our stockholders will not be able to receive a return
on their shares unless they sell them.
We intend to retain
any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our
business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our
common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends,
our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their
shares unless they sell them.

PROPERTIES
We do not own any
real property. The Company's corporate office in Raleigh North
Carolina consists of approximately 7,000 square feet. The lease
term for the premises commenced in July 2013 with an initial term
that expired in March 2019. The Company has extended the
lease through April 2024.
As a result of the amendment the Company has received an incentive
from the landlord valued at approximately
$100,000.
Accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
require that the total rent expense to be incurred over the term of
the lease be recognized on a straight-line basis. The
average annual rent expense over the term of the lease is
approximately $190,000.
ITEM 3.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time,
we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings
which arise in the ordinary course of business. We are currently
not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe
will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition or operating

7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This discussion
summarizes significant factors affecting the operating results,
financial condition and liquidity of MobileSmith for the two-year
period ended December 31, 2020. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and
the more detailed discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations in conjunction with the risks
described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
of Financing Activities and Sources of
Cash
From November 14,
2007 and through November of 2020, we have financed our working
capital deficiency primarily through the issuance of convertible
promissory notes under two convertible note facilities and
subordinated promissory notes to related parties. The first,
established in November 2007, is evidenced by the Convertible
Secured Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement, dated November 14,
2007, as amended (as so amended, the “2007 NPA”) and
the second, established in December 2014, is evidenced by
the unsecured
Convertible Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement (the “2014
NPA”); together with the 2007 NPA, (the “Convertible
Note Facilities”) with Union Bancaire Privée, UBP
SA ("UBP"). All references in this filing to
“2007 NPA Notes” will mean notes issued under
the 2007 NPA and all references to “2014 NPA
Notes" will mean notes issued under the 2014 NPA. All
references to the Convertible Notes will mean any convertible note
or notes issued either under 2007 or 2014 NPAs. All
references to Subordinated Promissory Notes will mean any
subordinated note or notes, as defined under Subordinated
Promissory Notes, Related Parties in "Debt" footnote in ITEM 8.
Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data.
12
In June of 2020 we extended
maturity of both the 2007 and 2014 NPA Notes from November of 2020
to November of 2022, which lengthened the period over which the
debt discount is amortized.
During 2020, we borrowed
a total of $4,550,000 under the 2014 NPA.
In addition, during
2020 we also borrowed a total of $1,910,000 through issuance of
Subordinated Promissory Notes to related parties to finance our
working capital shortfalls.
On December 23,
2020, the Company and all but one debt investor entered into a debt
exchange transaction where the Company exchanged its convertible
debt and promissory notes plus accrued but unpaid interest into
Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock.
The total of 1,158,141 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock were issued in
exchange for $49,684,127 of face value of debt that also included
accrued interest. On January 28, 2021
the Company exchanged remaining face value of $2,900,000 of
convertible debt for 70,014 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred stock.
Starting in
December of 2020, we have entered into
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock purchased
agreements for our Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock and started financing our shortfall in operations by
issuance of preferred shares under the agreement. In
2020, we issued 8,158 of Series A
Convertible Preferred in exchange for $350,000
in cash.
●
Each share of
Series A Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.001 per share
and a stated value equal to $42.90 (the “Stated
Value”);
●
Each share of the
Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to
receive an annual dividend equal to $3.43, subject to proration
related to the timing of issuance. Such dividend is designed to
have an effective yield of 8%on invested stated
value;
●
Each dividend shall
be paid either in shares of Series A Preferred Stock
(“Payment-in-Kind”) or in
cash, at the option of the Corporation, on the respective Dividend
Date;
●
The Holders of
Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights with respect
to any matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the
Corporation;
●
The Holders of
Series A Preferred Stock shall have certain Board observation and
inspection rights administered through a designated
Agent;
●
Each share of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from
time to time, at the option of the Holder into30 shares of Common
Stock, which results in conversion ratio of $1.43 of stated value
of Series A Preferred Stock into one share of common stock (the
"Series A Preferred Conversion Price");
●
The shares are
subject to automatic conversion immediately prior to the occurrence
of a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in a Certificate of
Designation. A Fundamental Transaction includes, but is not limited
to, a sale, merger or similar change in
ownership.
Comerica LSA
We have an outstanding Loan and Security Agreement (the "LSA") with
Comerica Bank pursuant to which $5,000,000 is outstanding with an
original maturity date of June 9, 2016. On June 9, 2020, the Company and Comerica Bank
entered into Third Amendment to the LSA, which extended the
maturity of the LSA to June 9, 2022.
The LSA
is secured by
an extended irrevocable letter of credit issued by UBS AG (Geneva,
Switzerland) with a renewed term expiring on May 31, 2021, which
term is automatically renewable for one year periods, unless notice
of non-renewal is given by UBS AG at least 45 days prior to the
then current expiration date. The provision of any such
notice by UBS will constitute an event of default under the LSA, at
which time all amounts outstanding under the LSA will become due
and payable. As of the date of this Form 10-K, no such notice has
been provided to us and we have not we been provided with any
indication that we are to receive notice of non-renewal of the
letter of credit.

Revenue
decreased by $604,629, or 22%. The decrease of $200,000
accounted for completion of a large contract with a government
agency. The remainder of the decrease is associated with loss
of customers due to non-renewals of contracts.
Cost
of Revenue decreased
by $235,038, or 22%. A decrease of $77,000 is attributable to
decrease in license and use fees paid to our service partners,
whose technology is integrated into our service offerings. A
decrease of $218,000 is attributable to outsourced and internal
development costs associated with delivery of custom development
services. Decrease of $58,000 was due to change in
amortization expense. The decreases were offset by increase
in payroll costs of $88,000 due to expansion of our
product delivery team.
Gross
Profit decreased by $369,591, or 21%. Contract
non-renewals resulted in loss of customers who
predominantly had purchased subscription services that
carry higher margins than services revenue or contracts with
integrations with service partners.
Selling and
Marketing expense decreased by $117,000, or 8%.
Personnel expense which includes both employees and contractors
decreased by $66,000 as we restructured our team and kept certain
positions unfilled until later in year. We increased hiring
for selling and marketing activities which resulted in an increase
in recruiting expense by $86,000. Travel decreased by $46,000
due to COVID pandemic limitations. Stock based compensation
decreased by $107,000.
Research and
Development expense
increased by $49,219, or 2%. Personnel cost increased
by $118,000 because our developers devoted less time to revenue
generating custom development and more time to overall
product development. Recruiting costs decreased by
$91,000. Stock based compensation increased by
$28,000.
General and
Administrative expense decreased by $304,256, or
8%. Stock based compensation decreased by $290,000.
Travel expense and IT related costs decreased by 107,000 and
36,000, respectively. Personnel costs
, which includes the Board of Directors and consultants, increased
by approximately $95,000.
Interest Expense increased by $1,146,397
or 23%. Cash portion of interest increased $470,000 due to
increase in face value of debt. Non-cash interest portion
increased by $760,000 due to amortization of debt discount and debt
premiums. The increases were offset by decrease in Comerica
interest by $73,000 due to decrease in the variable interest rate
on Comerica Loan.
Losses on Debt Extinguishments of
$59.3535,584 resulted from two debt exchange transactions, which
took place in May and December of 2020. For more information
about the transaction refer to "Debt" footnote of the financial
statements included in this Form
10K.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We have not yet achieved positive cash flows from operations, and
historically our main source of funds for our operations had been
the sale of our convertible promissory notes issued under our
convertible note facilities and subordinated promissory notes to
related parties. Subsequent to the exchange of debt for
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that
was completed on January 28, 2021, our source of funding is
expected to be issuance of Series A Convertible
Preferred stock. We need to continue to rely on outside
funding until we are able to generate sufficient cash from revenues
to fund our operations. We believe that anticipated cash flows from
operations, and additional issuances of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, together with cash on hand, will
provide sufficient funds to finance our operations at least for the
next 12 months from the date of this report. Changes in
our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased
expenses, or other events may cause us to seek additional equity or
debt financing in future periods. There can be no guarantee that
financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.
Additional equity and convertible debt financing could be dilutive
to the holders of shares of our common stock, and additional debt
financing, if available, could impose greater cash payment
obligations and more covenants and operating
restrictions.
During 2020 the
Company issued $1,650,000 and $2,900,000 in 2014 NPA notes to
related and unrelated parties,
respectively.
In addition,
during the year the Company issued $1,910,000 in subordinated
promissory to related parties.
We issued 350,000
in Series A Convertible Preferred shares and received a
$542,100 PPP loan.
Nonetheless, there
are factors that can impact our ability to continue to fund
our operating the next twelve months. These
include:
●
|
Our ability to
expand revenue volume during and post the COVID-19 pandemic, when
healthcare systems have been
concentrating their efforts on emergency services,
recovery from pandemic and may postpone other
initiatives;
|
|
|
●
|
Our ability to
maintain product pricing as expected, particularly in light of
increased competition and its unknown effects on market
dynamics;
|
|
|
●
|
Our continued need
to reduce our cost structure while simultaneously expanding
the breadth of our business, enhancing our technical
capabilities, and pursing new business opportunities;
|
|
|
●
|
Our ability
to raise capital amidst global economic downturn associated with
COVID-19 pandemic.
|
In addition, if UBS
were to elect not to renew the irrevocable letter of
credit beyond May 31, 2021, the currently scheduled expiration
date, then such non-renewal will result in an event of default
under the LSA, at which time all amounts outstanding under the LSA
of approximately $5 million will become due and payable. Currently,
the letter of credit is automatically extended for one year
periods, unless notice of non-renewal is given by UBS AG at least
45 days prior to the then current expiration date. As of
the filing date of this report on Form 10-K, no such notice has
been provided to us nor have we been provided with any indication
that we are to receive notice of non-renewal of the letter of
credit.
15
Capital Expenditures and Investing Activities
Our capital
expenditures are limited to the purchase of new office equipment
and new mobile devices that are used for testing. Cash
used for investing activities was not significant and we do not
plan any significant capital expenditures.
Going
Concern
Our independent
registered public accounting firm has issued an emphasis of matter
paragraph in their report included in this Form 10-K in which they
express substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities that might
be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Our continuation as a going concern depends on our ability to
generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely
basis, extend payment terms, to obtain additional financing that is
currently required, and ultimately to attain profitable operations
and positive cash flows. There can be no assurance that our efforts
to raise capital or increase revenue will be successful. If our
efforts are unsuccessful, we may have to cease operations and
liquidate our business.
Critical
accounting policies and estimates
The discussion and
analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related
to revenue recognition, bad debts, intangible assets and income
taxes. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
We have identified
the accounting policies below as critical to our business
operations and the understanding of our results of
operations.
16
Revenue Recognition and
Deferred Revenue
Revenue Recognition: General Overview and Performance Obligations
to Customers
The Company derives revenue primarily from contracts for
subscription to the suite of e-health mobile solutions and, to a
much lesser degree, ancillary services provided in connection with
subscription services.
The Company’s contracts include the following performance
obligations:
●
Access
to the content available on the App Blueprint Catalog, including
hosting of the deployed apps;
●
App
Build and Managed Services;
●
Custom
development work.
The majority of the Company’s contracts are for subscription
to a catalog of mobile App Blueprints, hosting of the deployed apps
and related services. Custom work for specific deliverables is
documented in the statements of work. Customers may enter into
subscription and various statements of work concurrently or
consecutively. Most of the Company’s performance obligations
are not considered to be distinct from the subscription to
Blueprints, hosting of deployed apps and related services and are
combined into a single performance obligation except for some
custom development work which is capable of being distinct. New
statements of work and modifications of contracts are reviewed each
reporting period and significant judgment is applied as to nature
and characteristics of the new or modified performance obligations
on a contract by contract basis.
Revenue Recognition: Transaction Price of the Contract and
Satisfaction of Performance Obligations
The transaction price of the contract is an aggregate amount of
consideration payable by customer for delivery of contracted
services. Transaction price is impacted by the terms of a
contracted agreement with the customer. Such terms range from one
to three years. The transaction price may include a
significant financing component in instances where Company offers
discounts for accelerated payments on the long-term
contracts. A significant financing component is recorded in
other assets and is amortized as interest expense in the
Company’s statement of operations over the term of the
contract.
The transaction price is predominantly allocated to the single
performance obligation of access to the Blueprints, hosting and
related services and, to a lesser degree, allocated between the
access and other distinct performance obligations based on the
stand-alone selling price. The subscription revenue is then
recognized over the term of the contract, using the output method
of time elapsed. Other performance obligations identified are
evaluated based on the specific terms of the agreement are usually
recognized at a point in time upon delivery of a specific
documented output. Management believes that such chosen methods
faithfully depict satisfaction of Company performance obligations
and transfer of benefit to the customers.
The full transaction price of the contract may be billed in its
entirety or in agreed upon installments. Billed transaction
price in excess of revenue recognized results in the recording of a
contract liability. Unbilled portion of transaction price
represents contracted consideration receivable by the Company that
was not yet billed.
17
Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract
The Company’s incremental costs of obtaining a contract
include sales commissions and are recognized as other assets on the
balance sheet for the contracts with a term exceeding 12 months.
These costs are amortized through the term of the contract and are
recorded as sales and marketing expense. As of December 31,
2020 the Company’s other assets include
approximately $5,000 of such
costs.
Contract Liabilities
A new contract liability is created every time the Company records
receivables due from its customers and has not satisfied the
requirements to recognize revenue. Contract liability represents
Company’s obligation to transfer services for which the
Company has already invoiced. Most of the contract
liabilities will be recognized in revenue over a period of 12 to 36
months.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company
measures share-based compensation cost at the grant date based on
the fair value of the award. The Company recognizes compensation
cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
The requisite service period is generally three years. The
Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The
Company uses the simplified method allowed by SAB 107 for
estimating expected term of the
options in calculating the fair value of the awards that have a
term of more than 7 years because the Company does not have
reliable historical data on exercise of its
options.
Fair Value
Measurements
Certain debt
and equity transactions require the Company to record newly issued
financing instruments at fair value at the time of issuance.
The Company follows guidance in ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements to
determine fair value of such instruments. We use Level 3 from
the fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC 820. Level 3
inputs require us to use significant judgements and unobservable
inputs when determining fair value of financing instruments.
Such judgements and inputs are described in detail in footnote 6 in
the financial statements that accompany this report.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of
Directors and Stockholders MobileSmith, Inc.
Raleigh, North
Carolina
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We have audited the
accompanying balance sheets of MobileSmith, Inc. (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the
related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and
cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended
December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to
as 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, 2020 and 2019,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“US
GAAP”).
Explanatory
Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. As more fully discussed in Note 1 to
the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses
from operations and has a working capital deficiency as of December
31, 2020. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and
management’s plans regarding those matters are also described
in Note 1. 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 the 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.
Critical
Audit Matters
The critical audit
matters communicated below are matters arising from the current
period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or
required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1)
relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the
financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical
audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by
communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate
opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or
disclosures to which they relate.
Debt and Equity Instruments
As disclosed in
Notes 4 and 6 to the financial statements, the Company has entered
into convertible note agreements with individuals including related
parties. The accounting for the transactions were complex, as it
required assessment as to whether features, other than the
conversion feature, required bifurcation and separate valuation.
Additionally, the transactions were complex as they required
valuation of the conversion feature in the debt instrument, which
involved estimation of the fair value of the debt instrument absent
of any conversion feature, and evaluation of the appropriate
classification of the conversion feature in the financial
statements.
F-2
Our audit
procedures included the following:
●
We obtained an
understanding of the internal controls and processes in place over
management’s valuation assessments.
●
We obtained and
read the underlying convertible note
agreements.
●
We evaluated the
Company’s selection of the valuation methodology and
significant assumptions used by the Company, and evaluated the
completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the
significant assumptions. Specifically, when assessing the key
assumptions, we evaluated the appropriateness of the
Company’s estimates of its credit risk, volatility, dividend
yield, and the market risk free rate for stock
compensation.
●
We evaluated the
Company’s selection of the valuation methodology and
significant assumptions used by the Company, and evaluated the
completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the
significant assumptions over debt and equity
transactions.
●
We tested a sample
of convertible debt and equity transactions to ensure they are
properly recorded in accordance with US GAAP.
●
We verified proper
approval of equity transactions.
●
We tested
management’s application of the relevant accounting
guidance.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company had
$2,197,079 in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020. As
disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company
derives revenue primarily from contracts with custom work for
specific deliverables and multiple performance
obligations.
Due to the nature
of the Company’s contracts including multiple performance
obligations, management exercises significant judgment in the
following areas in determining appropriate revenue
recognition:
●
Identification of
the contract with the customer
●
Determination of
which products and services are considered distinct performance
obligations that should be accounted for separately or
combined
●
Determination of
stand-alone selling prices for each performance
obligation
●
Estimation of
contract transaction price and allocation of the transaction price
to the performance obligations
●
The pattern of
delivery for each distinct performance
obligation
As a result, a high
degree of auditor judgement was required in performing audit
procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s
judgments. Changes in these judgments can have a material effect on
the
amount of revenue
recognized on these contracts. Based on our knowledge of the
Company, we determined the nature and extent of procedures to be
performed over revenue, including the determination of the revenue
streams over which those procedures were performed. Our audit
procedures included the following for each revenue stream where
procedures were performed:
●
Obtained an
understanding of the internal controls and processes in place over
the Company’s revenue recognition
processes.
●
Analyzed the
significant assumptions and estimates made by management as
discussed above.
●
Assessed the
recorded revenue by selecting a sample of transactions, analyzing
the related contract, testing management’s identification of
distinct performance obligations, and comparing the amounts
recognized for consistency with underlying
documentation.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

SUMMARY
OF BUSINESS AND DESCRIPTION OF GOING CONCERN
Description of Business and Going Concern
MobileSmith, Inc.
(referred to herein as the “Company,” “us,”
“we,” or “our”) was incorporated as
Smart Online, Inc. in the State of Delaware in 1993. The Company
changed its name to MobileSmith, Inc. effective July 1, 2013.
The same year the Company focused exclusively on development of
do-it-yourself customer facing platform that enabled organizations
to rapidly create, deploy, and manage custom, native smartphone and
tablet apps deliverable across iOS and Android mobile platforms
without writing a single line of code. During 2017 the
Company concluded that it had its highest rate of success with
clients within the Healthcare industry and concentrated its
development and sales and marketing efforts in that industry.
During 2018 we further refined our Healthcare offering and
redefined our product - a suite of e-health mobile solutions that
consist of a catalog of ready to deploy mobile app solutions (App
Blueprints) and support services. In 2019 and 2020 we
consolidated our current solutions under a single offering
branded Peri™. Peri™ is a cloud-based collection
of applications that run of our architected healthcare
technology ecosystem. The architecture is designed
to:
●
improve experience
of healthcare patients and consumers, who are often at the same
time members of various medical insurance networks
●
optimize delivery
of healthcare and relationship between members and insurance
networks
●
increase adoption,
utilization and intelligence of EMRs (electronic medical records),
extend EMR's usability to patients and consumers of
healthcare Peri™ is
designed to bridge the gap between healthcare industry system tools
and healthcare consumer's mobile device.
Our flagship PeriOp
offering is an EMR integrated mobile app based set of
pre
and postoperative instructions (which we refer to as Clinical
Pathways), that establishes a direct two-way clinical procedure
management process between a patient and a healthcare provider and
by doing so improves patient engagement and procedural
adherence.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company
incurred net losses, as well as negative cash flows from
operations, and at December 31, 2020 and 2019, had deficiencies in
working capital. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern.
The Company’s continuation as a going
concern depends upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows
to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional
financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitable
operations and positive cash flows. Since November 2007, the
Company has been funding its operations, in part, from the proceeds
of the issuance of notes under a convertible secured subordinated
note purchase agreement facility which was established in 2007 (the
"2007 NPA"), an unsecured convertible subordinated note purchase
agreement facility established in 2014 (the "2014 NPA") and
subordinated promissory notes to related parties. In December
2020 and January 2021 the Company exchanged all of its non-bank
debt for Series A Convertible Preferred stock and terminated both
2007 and 2014 NPAs.
The Company is
authorized to issue up to 1,750,000 in Series A Convertible
Preferred stock at a price of $42.9 per share. The Company
management expects that Series A Convertible Preferred stock will
remain it main source of funding in foreseeable future.
Based on the above, there is substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.

2.SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions in the
Company’s financial statements and notes thereto. Significant
estimates and assumptions made by management include the
determination of performance obligations and the allocation of
consideration among performance obligations, and the determination
of when the Company has met the requirements to recognize revenue
related to the performance obligations, share-based compensation
and allowance for accounts receivable. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents. The Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") covers $250,000 for substantially
all depository accounts. The Company from time to time may have
amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits.
Revenue Recognition: General Overview and Performance Obligations
to Customers
The Company
derives revenue primarily from contracts for subscription to the
suite of e-health mobile solutions and, to a much lesser degree,
ancillary services provided in connection with subscription
services.
The
Company’s contracts include the following performance
obligations:
●
Access
to the content available on the App Blueprint Catalog, including
hosting of the deployed apps;
●
App
Build and Managed Services; and
●
Custom
development work.
The majority of the Company’s
contracts are for a subscription to a catalog of mobile App
Blueprints, and hosting of the deployed apps and related services.
Custom work for specific deliverables is documented in statements
of work or separate contracts. Customers may enter into
subscription and various statements of work concurrently or
consecutively. Most of the Company’s performance obligations
are not considered to be distinct from the subscription to
Blueprints, hosting of deployed apps and related services and are
combined into a single performance obligation except for certain
custom development work which is capable of being distinct. New
statements of work and modifications of contracts are reviewed each
reporting period and significant judgment is applied as to nature
and characteristics of the new or modified performance obligations
on a contract by contract basis.
Revenue Recognition: Transaction Price of the Contract and
Satisfaction of Performance Obligations
The transaction
price of the contract is an aggregate amount of consideration
payable by customer for delivery of contracted services. The
transaction price is impacted by the terms of a contracted
agreement with the customer. Such terms range from one to three
years. The transaction price excludes any marketing or
sales discounts or any future renewal periods, unless the
renewal periods represent a material right given to customer to
extend the agreement. The transaction price may include a
significant financing component in instances where the Company
offers discounts for accelerated payments on the long-term
contracts. Significant financing components are recorded in
other assets and amortized as interest expense in the
Company’s Statement of Operations over the term of the
contract.
The transaction
price is predominantly allocated to a single performance obligation
of access to the Blueprints, hosting and related services and, to a
lesser degree, allocated between the access and other distinct
performance obligations based on the stand-alone selling price. The
subscription revenue is then recognized over time over the term of
the contract, using the output method of time elapsed. Other
performance obligations identified are evaluated based on the
specific terms of the agreement are usually recognized at a point
in time upon delivery of a specific documented output. Management
believes that such chosen methods faithfully depict satisfaction of
the Company performance obligations and transfer of benefit to the
customers.
The full
transaction price of the contract may be billed in its entirety or
in agreed upon installments. Billed transaction price in
excess of revenue recognized results in the recording of a contract
liability. The unbilled portion of transaction price related
to revenue earned represents contracted consideration receivable by
the Company that was not yet billed.
Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract
The
Company’s incremental costs of obtaining a contract include
sales commissions. Sales commissions are recognized as other
assets on the balance sheet for the contracts with a term exceeding
12 months. These costs are amortized through the term of the
contract and are recorded as sales and marketing
expense.
Contract Liabilities
A new contract
liability is created every time the Company records receivables due
from its customers. The contract liability represents the
Company’s obligation to transfer services for which the
Company has already invoiced. Most of the contract
liabilities will be recognized in revenue over a period of 12 to 36
months.
Customer Credit Risk
Most of the
Company's receivables (billings) are collected within 30-45
days. The majority of the Company's customers are healthcare
organizations, which historically have had low credit
risk.
F-9
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues
includes salaries of customer support teams, costs of
infrastructure, expenses for outsourced work to fulfill the
contracted work, and amortization charges for capitalized
software.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company
maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability or failure of its customers to make
required payments. The need for an allowance for doubtful accounts
is evaluated based on specifically identified amounts that
management believes to be potentially uncollectible. If actual
collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be
required.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company
evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets every
reporting period or whenever events and circumstances indicate that
the value may be impaired.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs
consist primarily of industry related tradeshows and marketing
campaigns. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, or the first
time the advertising takes place, applied consistently based on the
nature of the advertising activity. The amounts related to
advertising during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were
$248,261 and $234,203, respectively.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per
share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted net loss per share is
computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive
common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods. Shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of Convertible Subordinated
Promissory Notes (the “Notes”), conversion of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of share-based awards are
excluded from the calculation of the weighted average number,
because the effect of the conversion and exercise would be
anti-dilutive.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company evaluates new significant accounting pronouncements at
each reporting period. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the
Company did not identify any new pronouncement that had or is
expected to have a material effect on Company’s presentation
of its financial statements.

Bank Loan
The Company has an outstanding Loan and Security Agreement with
Comerica Bank dated June 9, 2014 (the "LSA") in the amount of
$5,000,000, with an extended maturity date of June 9,
2022. The LSA is secured by an extended irrevocable
letter of credit issued by UBS AG
(Geneva, Switzerland) ("UBS AG") with a renewed term expiring on
May 31, 2021, which term is renewable for one year periods, unless
notice of non-renewal is given by UBS AG at least 45 days prior to
the then current expiration date.
The LSA with Comerica has the following additional
terms:
●
a
variable interest rate at prime plus 0.6% payable
monthly;
●
secured
by substantially all of the assets of the Company, including the
Company’s intellectual property;
●
acceleration of
payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and
continuation of certain events of default, including but not
limited to, failure by the Company to perform its obligations,
observe the covenants made by it under the LSA, failure to renew
the UBS AG SBLC, and insolvency of the Company.
Paycheck Protection Program
Loan
On April 29, 2020 the Company borrowed $542,100 through issuance of
a promissory note in accordance with the Paycheck Protection
Program ("PPP") established by Section 1102 of the CARES Act and
implemented and administered by the Small Business Administration
(the "PPP loan"). The PPP loan matures on April 29,
2022. The PPP loan carries interest at 1% per year and is
payable in 18 monthly installments of $30,513. The PPP loan
may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment
penalties. The PPP loan contains events of default and other
provisions customary for a loan of this type. Pursuant to the
PPP rules, all or portion of this loan may be forgiven. The
actual amount of the loan forgiveness will depend, in part, on the
total amount of payroll costs, certain allowed rent and utility
costs. Not more than 25% of the loan forgiveness amount may
be attributable to non-payroll costs. The Company used the
proceeds from the PPP loan for qualifying expenses, applied for
forgiveness of the PPP loan in accordance with the terms of the
CARES Act. Such forgiveness was granted to the Company on
February 18, 2021.

Convertible
Notes
under 2007 and 2014 NPAs Overview
Since November 14,
2007 and through December 10, 2014, the Company financed its
working capital deficiency primarily through the issuance of its
notes of up to $33,300,000 in principal (the “2007 NPA
Notes”) under the Convertible Secured Subordinated Note
Purchase Agreement, dated November 14, 2007, as amended (the
“2007 NPA”). On December 11, 2014 the Company
entered into 2014 NPA for the sum of notes up to $40,000,000 in
principal ("2014 NPA Notes"). At the request of the note
holder any amounts borrowed under the 2007 NPA and the 2014 NPA
allow the principal amount to be converted to common shares at a
conversion price of $1.43 per share.
Maturity of 2014
and 2007 NPA Notes had been extended several times. The most
recent such extension moved maturity date to November 14,
2022. Notes under both 2014 and 2007 NPAs were issued with
identical terms. Such main terms are as follows: (a) allow
for optional conversion into common stock upon request of a
noteholder at a price of $1.43 (b) pay 8% interest twice per
year in January and July (c) subordinated to the Bank
Loan.
Majority of 2007
and 2014 NPA notes are related party notes.
Grasford
Investments, Ltd. ("Grasford"), the Company’s largest
stockholder, owned $12,076,282 in face value amount of 2007 NPA
Notes as of December 31, 2019. Grasford is controlled by Avy
Lugassy, one of the Company’s principal shareholders.
Grasford's entire holding was exchanged in the
December 2020 Debt Exchange.
UBP
owned $27,617,180 in combined face value of 2007 and 2014 NPA Notes
as of December 31, 2019 and is considered a significant beneficial
owner. UBP's holdings grew to $28,817,180 during 2020, which
was exchanged in the December 2020 Debt
Exchange. Crystal
Management owned $730,769 in face value of 2007 NPA Notes as of
December 31, 2019. Crystal Management is controlled by Doron
Rotler, the third largest shareholder of the Company. The
entire holding was exchanged in the December 2020 Debt
Exchange.
During 2020 the
Company issued $2,900,000 in 2014 NPA notes to an unrelated party
on three different occasions. These notes were the only
non-bank notes outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and were
exchanged in the January 2021 Exchange
transaction. The carrying value of the notes as of December
31, 2020 was $972,108 and represented face value of $2,900,000, net
of discount of $1,927,892 .
Subordinated Promissory Notes, Related Parties
The
Company has issued subordinated notes to related parties to finance
its shortfall in working capital. The subordinated notes
carry interest rate of 8% per year, which is paid twice a
year. The subordinated notes are unsecured and are
subordinated to all other Company debt. The subordinated
notes had maturity date in November of 2022. Avy Lugassy, one
of the Company's principal shareholders is a beneficial owner of
the related parties holding the subordinated notes.
The
Company started the year with $3,518,250 on January 1, 2020 in
outstanding notes and issued additional $1,910,000 notes during the
year under the same terms. During the May 2020 Note Exchange
$4,063,250 of subordinated promissory notes to related parties were
exchanged for the same face value of 2014 NPA note under the terms
described above (refer to "May 2020 Note Exchange" paragraph below
for more detail), which were subsequently exchanged again in the
December 2020 Debt Exchange. The remaining balance of
$1,365,000 in subordinated promissory notes to related parties were
also exchanged in the December 2020 Debt Exchange.
April 2020 Debt Modification
On
April 30, 2020, the Company and the holders of the majority of
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes issued
under the 2014 NPA (the "2014 NPA Notes") and holders of the
majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Secured Promissory Notes (the
“2007 NPA Notes”) issued under the
Convertible Secured Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement dated
November 14, 2007 (the "2007 NPA”) agreed to extend the
maturity dates of the 2014 NPA Notes and the 2007 NPA Notes to
November 14, 2022. In addition, the 2014 NPA was amended to
allow the Company to issue 2014 NPA Notes as consideration of
cancellation of other indebtedness. Except as for above mentioned
modifications, all of the terms relating to the outstanding 2007
NPA Notes and the 2014 Notes continue in full force and effect. The
Company is entitled to utilize the amounts available for future
borrowing under each of the 2007 Note Purchase Agreement and the
2014 Note Purchase Agreement through November 14,
2022.
May 2020 Note
Exchange
On May 6, 2020, the Company and related party holders of
$4,063,250 in subordinated promissory notes exchanged those notes
for the 2014 NPA Notes issued under 2014 NPA (the "May 2020 Note
Exchange"). Avy Lugassy, one of Company's principal
shareholders is a beneficial owner of the entities holding newly
issued 2014 NPA Notes. The newly issued 2014 NPA Notes mature
on November 14, 2022 and have the terms identical to other 2014 NPA
Notes. The May 2020 Note Exchange was accounted for as debt
extinguishment and the newly issued 2014 NPA Notes were recorded at
fair value in accordance with ASC 470
"Debt". The
total fair value of the 2014 NPA Notes issued as a result of the
May 2020 Note Exchange was determined to be $8,928,000. The
May 2020 Note Exchange transaction resulted in loss recorded on the
statement of operations of $4,864,750 and a premium on the newly
issued convertible debt of $4,864,750. The embedded
beneficial conversion feature present in the newly issued debt in
the amount of $4,063,250 resulted in a debt discount and a charge
to paid-in
capital.
Amortization of debt discount and debt premium was scheduled to be
recorded in interest expense through the maturity date of the
notes.
December 2020
Debt Exchange
On
December 23, 2020, the Company and all but one debt investor
entered into a debt exchange transaction where the Company
exchanged its convertible and non-convertible debt plus accrued but
unpaid interest into Series A Convertible Preferred
equity. The December 2020 Debt Exchange transaction was
accounted for as debt extinguishment and the newly issued Series A
Convertible Preferred Shares were recorded at fair value in
accordance with ASC 470 "Debt". The total of 1,158,141 shares
were issued in December 2020 Debt Exchange fair valued at
$103,299,344. The combined face value of debt exchanged was
$47,989,660 in addition to accrued but unpaid interest of
$1,694,467 for a total of $49,684,127. The carrying value of
the debt exchanged was $48,810,508 due to inclusion of unamortized
debt discounts and debt premiums in the amounts of $4,519,542 and
$3,645,924, respectively. The difference between the carrying
amount of extinguished debt and fair value of the Series A
Preferred Shares issued
resulted in loss recorded on the statement of
operations of
$54,488,834.
As a result of the
December 2020 Debt Exchange, the original 2007 and 2014 NPAs and
related notes with participating investors were
cancelled.
During the year
the Company recorded $3,184,641 in amortization of debt discount,
offset by $1,218,824 of amortization of debt
premium.
As of December 31,
2020 the Company has approximately $250,000 in interest outstanding
related to non-bank debt.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
From time to time,
the Company may be subject to routine litigation, claims or
disputes in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends
itself vigorously in all such matters. In the opinion of
management, no pending or known threatened claims, actions or
proceedings against the Company are expected to have a material
adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or
cash flows. However, the Company cannot predict with certainty the
outcome or effect of any such litigation or investigatory matters
or any other pending litigations or claims. There can be no
assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any such lawsuits and
investigations. The Company will record a liability when it
believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and
the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company
periodically evaluates developments in its legal matters that could
affect the amount of liability that it has previously accrued, if
any, and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is
required to determine both the likelihood of there being, and the
estimated amount of, a loss related to such matters, and the
Company’s judgment may be incorrect. The outcome of any
proceeding is not determinable in advance. Until the final
resolution of any such matters that the Company may be required to
accrue for, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the
amount accrued, and such amounts could be material.

STOCKHOLDERS’
DEFICIT
Common Stock
The Company is
authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par
value per share. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had
28,389,493 shares of common stock outstanding. Holders of the
Company’s shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for
each share held.
Preferred Stock
The Board of
Directors is authorized, without further stockholder approval, to
issue up to 5,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock in
one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges,
and restrictions applicable to such shares, including dividend
rights, conversion rights, terms of redemption, and liquidation
preferences, and to fix the number of shares constituting any
series and the designations of such series.
On December 10,
2020 the Board of Directors authorized to designate
1,750,000 of 5,000,000 as Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock with the following terms:
●
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have a
par value of $0.001 per share and a stated value equal to $42.90
(the “Stated Value”);
●
Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall
be entitled to receive an annual dividend equal to $3.43, subject
to proration related to the timing of issuance. Such dividend
is designed to have an effective yield of 8%on invested stated
value;
●
Each dividend shall be paid either in shares of
Series A Preferred Stock (“Payment-in-Kind”) or in cash, at the option of the
Corporation, on the respective Dividend Date;
●
The Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights
with respect to any matters to be voted on by the stockholders of
the Corporation;
●
The
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have certain Board
observation and inspection rights administered through a designated
Agent;
●
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any
time and from time to time, at the option of the Holder into 30
shares of Common Stock, which results in conversion ratio of $1.43
of stated value of Series A Preferred Stock into one share of
common stock (the "Series A Preferred Conversion
Price");
●
The shares are subject to automatic conversion immediately
prior to the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction,
as defined in a Certificate of Designation. A Fundamental
Transaction includes, but is not limited to, a sale, merger or
similar change in ownership.
On December 23,
2020 the Company issued 1,158,141 of Series A Convertible Preferred
shares in the December 2020 Debt Exchange transaction (refer to
"Debt" footnote for more detail on the transaction).
The December 2020 Debt Exchange resulted in a debt
extinguishment treatment and the Series A Convertible Preferred was
recorded at its fair value of $103,299,344. On the date of the
December 2020 Debt Exchange the market value of the common stock
was above the Series A Preferred Conversion Price of $1.43, which
resulted in the conversion feature that was beneficial to the
holder on the date of the exchange. The resulting beneficial
conversion feature was recorded as a discount and amortized in its
entirety as a deemed dividend on the date of the
December 2020 Debt Exchange and charged to loss attributable to
common shareholders on the Company's Statement of Operations in the
amount of $37,176,330.
During the period
ended December 31, 2020 the Company issued 8,156 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred in exchange of 350,000 in cash funding.
The shares were issued with a beneficial conversions feature
discount and resulted in a deemed dividend with charge to loss
attributable to common shareholders of $261,850.

Equity Compensation Plans
2016 Equity Compensation
Plan
In May 2016, the
Company’s shareholders authorized adoption of the approved
MobileSmith Inc. 2016 Equity Compensation Plan for officers,
directors, employees and consultants, initially reserving for
issuance thereunder 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
The exercise price
for incentive stock options granted under the above plans is
required to be no less than the fair market value of the common
stock on the date the option is granted, except for options granted
to 10% stockholders, which are required to have an exercise price
of not less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock
on the date the option is granted. Incentive stock options
typically have a maximum term of 10 years, except for option grants
to 10% stockholders, which are subject to a maximum term of five
years. Non-statutory stock options have a term determined by either
the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors. Options granted under the plans are not transferable,
except by will and the laws of descent and
distribution.

$2.27 and $1.42, respectively.
At December 31,
2020, $9,316,951 of expense remains to be recorded related to all
options outstanding.
Exercise prices for
options outstanding as of December 31, 2020 ranged between $.90 and
$2.75.
The Company
measures share-based compensation cost at the grant date based on
the fair value of the award. The Company recognizes compensation
cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
The requisite service period is generally three years. The
Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The Company uses
the simplified method allowed by SAB 107 for estimating expected
term of the options in calculating the fair value of the awards
that have a term of more than 7 years because the Company does not
have reliable historical data on exercise of its options. The
simplified method was used for options granted in 2020
and 2019.
The fair value of
option grants under the Company’s equity compensation plan
during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was estimated
using Black-Scholes pricing model using the following

FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We are required to
provide financial statement users with information about assets and
liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet or
disclosed in the notes to the financial statements regarding (1)
the valuation techniques and inputs used to develop fair value
measurements, including the related judgments and assumptions made,
(2) the uncertainty in the fair value measurements as of the
reporting date, and (3) how changes in the measurements impact the
performance and cash flows of the entity.
Fair value is
defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or
most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy prescribed by the accounting literature
contains three levels as follows:
Level 1 –
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 –
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that
are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full
term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 –
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets
or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial
instruments whose value is determined using pricing models,
discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well
as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires
significant management judgment or estimations.
The
2020 May 2020 Note Exchange and the December 2020 Debt
Exchange resulted in transactions which required the Company to
recognize debt extinguishments in both instances and to record
newly issued financing instruments at fair value at the dates of
the transactions on a non-recurring basis. Fair
value measurements in both transactions were categorized as Level 3
fair value measurements due to use of various unobservable inputs
to the pricing models. A single most significant
factor included in pricing models was the Level 1
input of observable market value of MobileSmith common
stock on the date of the transactions, as quoted on the
OTCQB. Despite the thinly traded nature of the Company stock,
the quoted market value could not be ignored in determination of
fair value in the transactions.
Fair value
measurements in the May 2020 Note Exchange transaction
(refer to "Debt" footnote for the description of the
transaction)
The
Company used a binomial model to determine the fair value of the
newly issued instrument.
The
significant unobservable inputs and information used to develop
those inputs include the following:
●
the
volatility of stock price was determined to be 86% and was based on
the volatility of the Company’s stock price as quoted on the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) for the
period of 2.5 years, which approximated the period remaining until
maturity of the convertible instrument at the time of the
transaction;
●
the
risk free rate of .24%;
●
the
credit spread over the risk free rate of approximately
8%;
●
the
nodes of the binomial model were extended for two and a half years,
which approximates the time period until maturity of the
convertible instrument; and
●
the
conversion ratio of $1.43 per share of common
stock
Fair value measurements in December 2020 Debt Exchange transaction (refer to "Stockholder's deficit" footnote for the description of the transaction)
The Company used
income approach to arrive at the fair value of the Series A
Convertible Preferred stock on December 23, 2020 - the date of the
exchange. Using this approach the value of Series A
Convertible Preferred holding is equal to the present value of the
cash flow streams that can be expected to be generated by the
holder in a combination of dividends and conversion of preferred
shares into common and subsequent sale of the common
shares. The Company used Monte Carlo model
to simulate future movement of our common stock and discounted the
results back to December 23, 2020 transaction date. The model
used the following notable inputs:
●
the
market price of the Company common stock on December 23, 2020 of
$2.50 as a starting point of simulation
●
the
risk free rate and discount rate of 1.23%;
●
volatility
of 80%;
●
term of
simulation extended to 15 years;
●
the
model also considered the probability of a Fundamental Transaction
(as defined in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock certificate of
designation) and probabilities of payment of dividend in cash or in
additional preferred shares.
As of December 31,
2020 and 2019, we believe that the fair value of our financial
instruments other than cash and cash equivalents, such as, accounts
receivable, our bank loan, notes payable, and accounts payable
approximate their carrying
amounts.

INCOME
TAXES
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability
method in accordance with the requirements of US GAAP. Under the
asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized
for the tax consequences of “temporary differences” by
applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the tax bases of existing assets and
liabilities.
The balances of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as

As
of December 31, 2020, the Company had U.S. federal net operating
loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $96.5
million, of which $19.3 million will never expire and approximately
$77.2 million will expire between 2021 and 2037. For state tax
purposes, the NOL carryforwards expire between 2021 and 2035. In
accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, a change in equity ownership of greater than 50% of the
Company within a three-year period can result in an annual
limitation on the Company’s ability to utilize its NOL
carryforwards that were created during tax periods prior to the
change in ownership.
The
Company has reviewed its tax positions and has determined that it
has no significant uncertain tax positions at December 31,
2020.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
All full-time
employees who meet certain age and length of service requirements
are eligible to participate in the Company’s 401(k) Plan. The
plan provides for contributions by the Company in such amounts as
the Board of Directors may annually determine, as well as a 401(k)
option under which eligible participants may defer a portion of
their salaries. The Company contributed a total of approximately
$34,000 and $36,000 to the plan during 2020 and 2019,
respectively.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
On January 28, 2021
the Company exchanged the remaining face value of
$2,900,000 of convertible debt for 70,014 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred stock (the "January 2021 Debt
Exchange")
Subsequent to
December 31, 2020 the Company issued a total of 41,066 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred stock in exchange for $1,761,700 of
cash investment.
On February 18,
2021 the Company's PPP loan was forgiven in its
entirety.
In
February 2021, the Company received approximately $542,000 of
proceeds from a note payable issued under either the SBA's Paycheck
Protection Program under section 7(a)(36) of the Small Business Act
or the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program Second Draw Loans under
Section 7(a)(37) of the Small Business Act. The note matures in
five years and bears interest at 1% per year. Similar to the
initial PPP Loan, the second loan contains a loan forgiveness
covered period of six months from the date of issuance in which the
Company will not be obligated to make any payments of principal or
interest. If the Company does not submit a loan forgiveness
application within ten months after the end of the loan forgiveness
covered period, the Company must begin making principal and
interest after that period. Interest continues to accrue during the
deferment period. If the Company is unable to or does not follow
those guidelines for the loan to be forgiven by the SBA, the
Company would be required to repay a portion of or the entire
balance of the loan proceeds in full.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management,
with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures for the quarter ended December 31,
2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a
company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the
time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files
or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
to the company’s management, including its principal
executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to
do, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating
the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and
procedures.
Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2020,
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the
reasonable assurance level.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is
responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control
system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our
management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and
fair presentation of published financial statements.
Our internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that:
(i)
|
pertain to the
maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our
assets;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and
expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of our management and directors; and
|
|
|
(iii)
|
provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
|
All internal
control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be
effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to
financial statement preparation and presentation.
In making the
assessment of adequate internal control over financial reporting,
our management used the criteria issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)
in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that
assessment and those criteria, management believes that our
internal control over financial reporting were effective as of
December 31, 2020.
During our fourth
quarter ended December 31, 2020, there were no changes made in our
internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined
in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
