NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “our company” refer to CISO Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
Description of the Business
We are a cybersecurity and compliance company comprised of highly trained and seasoned security professionals who work with clients to improve their cybersecurity posture. We provide a full range of cybersecurity consulting and related services, encompassing strategy and risk, cyber defense operations, architecture and engineering, and readiness and resiliency. Our services include secured managed services, compliance services, security operations center (“SOC”) services, virtual Chief Information Security Officer (“vCISO”) services, incident response, digital forensics, technical assessments, and cybersecurity training. We believe that culture is the foundation of every successful cybersecurity and compliance program. To deliver that outcome, we deliver a holistic solution that provides these services in a unified way from a dedicated team of subject matter experts. In contrast to the majority of cybersecurity firms that are focused on a specific technology or service, we seek to differentiate ourselves by remaining technology agnostic, focusing on aggregating teams of highly sought-after practitioners. We continually seek to identify and acquire cybersecurity talent to expand our service scope and geographical coverage to provide the best possible service for our clients. We believe that bringing together a world-class team of technological experts with multi-faceted expertise in the critical aspects of cybersecurity is key to providing technology to our clients in a business environment that is experiencing challenges attracting and retaining cybersecurity talent, thereby setting us apart from competitors and in-house security teams. Our goal is to create a culture of security and to help quantify, define, and capture a return on investment from information technology and cybersecurity spending. Our brand rallies around the battle cry: “Cyber security is a Culture, not a Product.”
Basis of Presentation
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Our interim financial statements are unaudited, and in our opinion, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the periods presented. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the year ending December 31, 2023. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Going Concern
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred
a net loss of $
Based on our current business plan, we believe our cash balance as of the date of this filing, together with anticipated revenues, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirement for the near term. However, there can be no assurance that the current business plan will be achievable. Such conditions raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
| 9 |
Our existence is dependent upon our ability to develop profitable operations. We are devoting substantially all of our efforts to developing our business, reducing overhead costs, and raising capital, although there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful. No assurance can be given that our actions will result in profitable operations or the resolution of liquidity problems. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to improve our liquidity, in addition to a planned reduction in overhead costs, we are actively pursuing additional debt and/or equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to secure additional financing.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the amount or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications of certain immaterial prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We periodically evaluate our estimates and adjust prospectively, if necessary. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results could materially differ.
We believe the critical accounting policies discussed below affects our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the carrying value of intangible assets and goodwill, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, the estimated fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and stock issued in business combinations, and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, share price, and expected dividend rate.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue
Our revenue is derived from two major types of services to clients: security managed services and professional services. With respect to security managed services, we provide culture education and enablement, tools and technology provisioning, data and privacy monitoring, regulations and compliance monitoring, remote infrastructure administration, and cybersecurity services, including, but not limited to, antivirus and patch management. With respect to professional services, we provide cybersecurity consulting, compliance auditing, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, and disaster recovery and data backup solutions.
Our revenue is categorized and disaggregated as reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations as follows:
Security Managed Services
Security managed services revenue primarily consists of compliance, security managed services, SOC managed services, and vCISO. We considered these services to be a single performance obligation, and revenue is recognized as services and materials are provided to the customer.
| 10 |
Professional Services
Professional services revenue primarily consists of technical assessments, incident response and forensics, training, and other cybersecurity services. We considered these services to be a single performance obligation, and revenue is recognized in the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts
receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. We periodically assess
our accounts and other receivables for collectability on a current expected credits loss basis. We provide for allowances for doubtful receivables
based on management’s estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and any other factors considered appropriate.
Payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice. We write off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when
a balance is determined to be uncollectible. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our allowance for doubtful accounts was $
Inventory
Inventory
consists of computer equipment for sale to customers. Inventory is measured using the first-in, first-out method and stated at lower
of cost or net realizable value as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The value of inventories is reduced for excess and obsolete
inventories. We monitor inventory to identify events that would require impairment due to obsolete inventory and adjust the value of
inventory when required. We recorded
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For dilutive securities, all outstanding options are considered potentially outstanding common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options is calculated using the treasury stock method. All outstanding convertible notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, the options and shares issuable upon conversion thereof have been excluded from our computation of net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

| Stock options | ||||||||
| Warrant | ||||||||
| Convertible debt | ||||||||
| Total | ||||||||
Deferred Revenue
Deferred
revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognized for the services
provided to our customers or annual licenses and is recognized as services are performed or ratably over the life of the license. We
generally invoice customers in advance or in milestone-based installments. Deferred revenue of $

| June 30, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |||||||
| Security managed services | $ | $ | ||||||
| Professional services | ||||||||
| Total deferred revenue | $ | $ | ||||||
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We utilize ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At June 30, 2023, our net deferred tax asset has been fully reserved due to our current period impairment, we expect to be in a net deferred tax asset position in Chile, and a valuation allowance has been recorded for this jurisdiction during the current period.
For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, we recognize the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations when a determination is made that such expense is likely.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following:

NOTE 5 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL
Goodwill
During the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023, our share price reduction was determined to be an indicator of impairment under ASC 350 of our two reporting units, United States and Latin America. We performed an ongoing assessment to consider whether events or circumstances had occurred that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The valuation limitation from our recent share price decline caused us to perform an interim goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2023.
Based
on the results of this testing, we recorded a $
As part of our quantitative testing process for goodwill of the reporting units, we estimated fair values using a revenue multiple analysis, a form of the income approach, from the perspective of a market participant. Significant assumptions used in the revenue multiple approach are revenue growth rates and revenue multiples of key comparable companies within our industry.
The following table summarizes the changes in goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2023:
| Balance December 31, 2022 | $ | |||
| Impairment | ( | ) | ||
| Foreign currency translation adjustment | ||||
| Ending balance, June 30, 2023 | $ |
The remaining balance of goodwill for the reporting units continue to be at risk for future impairment. There continues to be uncertainty surrounding the factors impacting our business, and a sustained downturn, significantly extended recovery, or a change in long-term revenue growth or profitability for our reporting units could increase the likelihood of an additional future impairment. Additionally, changes in market participant assumptions or further share price reductions could increase the likelihood of further future impairment.
Intangible Assets
We performed an interim impairment test of our intangible assets based upon the conditions that precipitated the interim goodwill impairment test described above.
Based
on the results of this testing, we recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges totaling
Fair values used in testing for potential impairment of our intangible assets are calculated using a discounted cash flows method by applying estimated cash flows from our forecasted revenue and expenses of the business that utilize those assets. The assumed cash flows from this calculation are discounted at a rate based on a market participant discount rate.
| 13 |
There is uncertainty surrounding the revenue growth factors for these assets and a change in the long-term revenue growth rate or increase in the discount rate assumption could increase the likelihood of a future impairment.
Following
the recognition of the impairment losses, the affected assets had an aggregate carrying value of $

Indirect Taxes
We are subject to indirect taxation in some, but not all, of the various states and foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Laws and regulations attempting to subject commerce conducted over the Internet to various indirect taxes are becoming more prevalent, both in the United States. and internationally, and may impose additional burdens on us in the future. Increased regulation could negatively affect our business directly, as well as the business of our customers. Taxing authorities may impose indirect taxes on the Internet-related revenue we generated based on regulations currently being applied to similar, but not directly comparable, industries. There are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate indirect tax determination is uncertain. In addition, domestic and international indirect taxation laws are complex and subject to change. We may be audited in the future, which could result in changes to our indirect tax estimates. We continually evaluate those jurisdictions in which nexus exists, and believe we maintain adequate indirect tax accruals.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and satisfying liabilities in the normal course of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $64,170,352 and negative cash flows from operations of $5,318,960 and expect to incur further losses through the end of 2023. In the report accompanying our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern and that they have substantial doubt as to our ability to do so based on our recurring losses from operations and need to raise additional capital. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the amount or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
As of June 30, 2023, we had $291,351,048 of available funding under our S-3 Registration Statement from which we may issue our securities to fund current and future operations, assuming there is adequate demand for our securities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $5,318,960 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $64,170,352, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate of $55,321,005 and additional cash inflow by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of an increase in accounts receivable, current assets, deferred revenue and accounts payable and accrued expenses. Net cash used in operating activities was $3,574,474 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $15,369,627, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate of $10,206,845, partially offset by cash generated by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of an increase in accounts payable.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities of $148,866 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was due to purchases of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities of $5,114,700 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and was primarily due to net cash paid in the acquisition of True Digital Security, Inc.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $5,493,207, which was primarily due to cash received from the sale of our common stock of $6,682,198, $2,210,022 in net proceeds from our loans payable, and $6,050,000 in proceeds from convertible notes payable, offset by aggregate repayments on loans payable and convertible notes payable of $9,847,980. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $14,781,284, which was primarily due to cash received from the sale of our common stock in our public offering of $9,521,798 and $5,975,000 in net proceeds from our bridge loans.

Based on our current business plan, we believe our cash balance as of the date of this filing, together with anticipated revenues, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirement for the near term. However, there can be no assurance that the current business plan will be achievable. Such conditions raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Our existence is dependent upon our ability to develop profitable operations. We are devoting substantially all of our efforts to developing our business, reducing overhead costs, and raising capital, although there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful. No assurance can be given that our actions will result in profitable operations or the resolution of liquidity problems. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to improve our liquidity, in addition to a planned reduction in overhead costs, we are actively pursuing additional debt and/or equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to secure additional financing.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the amount or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Our significant estimates and assumptions include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the carrying value of intangible assets and goodwill, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, the estimated fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and stock issued in business combinations, and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, share price, and expected dividend rate. Certain of our estimates, including the carrying amount of intangible assets and goodwill, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to us and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on our estimates and could cause actual results to materially differ from those estimates.
| 25 |
Business Combination
We allocate the purchase price of an acquired business to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets. Direct transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. We include the results of operations of the business that we have acquired in our consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are comprised of trademarks, customer bases, non-compete agreements, and intellectual property with original estimated useful lives with a range of 2 to 10 years. Once placed into service, we amortize the cost of intangible assets over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquired business over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually at year end or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using market and revenue multiple approaches. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Failure to achieve these expected results may cause a future impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We will periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review and at least annually. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
Stock-Based Compensation
We measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees.
| 26 |
Revenue Recognition
Our agreements with clients are primarily service contracts that range in duration from a few months to one year. We recognize revenue when control of these services is transferred to the client for an amount, referred to as the transaction price, which reflects the consideration to which we are expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
A contract with a client exists only when:
| ● | the parties to the contract have approved it and are committed to perform their respective obligations; | |
| ● | we can identify each party’s rights regarding the distinct services to be transferred (“performance obligations”); | |
| ● | we can determine the transaction price for the services to be transferred; and | |
| ● | the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable that we will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the client. |
For the majority of our contracts, we receive non-refundable upfront payments. We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since we expect, at contract inception, that the period between the time of transfer of the promised goods or services to the client and the time the client pays for these goods or services to be generally one year or less. Our credit terms to clients generally average 30 days, although in some cases payments are required in 15 days.
We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with original expected duration of one year or less.
Our revenue is categorized and disaggregated as reflected in our statements of operations as follows:
Security Managed Services
Security managed services revenue primarily consist of compliance, security managed services, SOC managed services, and vCISO. We consider these services to be a single performance obligation, and revenue is recognized as services and materials are provided to the customer.
Professional Services
Professional services revenue primarily consists of technical assessments, incident response and forensics, training, and other cybersecurity services. We consider these services to be a single performance obligation, and revenue is recognized in the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Because we are a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information called for by this Item.
| 27 |
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below. Thus there remains a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. This does not include an evaluation by our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we cannot provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, to allow our principal financial and executive officers to make timely decisions regarding required disclosures as of June 30, 2023.
Our management’s evaluation was based on the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which existed as of December 31, 2022 and which continue to exist, as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022:
| ● | lack of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks in a timely manner; and | |
| ● | lack of documentation on policies and procedures that are critical to the accomplishment of financial reporting objectives. |
A material weakness is a control deficiency or combination of control deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a company with limited accounting resources, a significant amount of management’s time and attention has been and will be diverted from our business to ensure compliance with these regulatory requirements.
Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weaknesses
We are implementing measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions planned include:
| ● | identifying gaps in our skills base and the expertise of our staff required to meet the financial reporting requirements of a public company; and |
| ● | developing policies and procedures on internal control over financial reporting and monitoring the effectiveness of operations on existing controls and procedures. |
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the relevance of our risk-based approach and the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis, and we are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and in accordance with financial and budgetary considerations.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, other than those noted above, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
| 28 |

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Description of the Business
We are a cybersecurity and compliance company comprised of highly trained and seasoned security professionals who work with clients to improve their cybersecurity posture. We provide a full range of cybersecurity consulting and related services, encompassing strategy and risk, cyber defense operations, architecture and engineering, and readiness and resiliency. Our services include secured managed services, compliance services, security operations center (“SOC”) services, virtual Chief Information Security Officer (“vCISO”) services, incident response, digital forensics, technical assessments, and cybersecurity training. We believe that culture is the foundation of every successful cybersecurity and compliance program. To deliver that outcome, we deliver a holistic solution that provides these services in a unified way from a dedicated team of subject matter experts. In contrast to the majority of cybersecurity firms that are focused on a specific technology or service, we seek to differentiate ourselves by remaining technology agnostic, focusing on aggregating teams of highly sought-after practitioners. We continually seek to identify and acquire cybersecurity talent to expand our service scope and geographical coverage to provide the best possible service for our clients. We believe that bringing together a world-class team of technological experts with multi-faceted expertise in the critical aspects of cybersecurity is key to providing technology to our clients in a business environment that is experiencing challenges attracting and retaining cybersecurity talent, thereby setting us apart from competitors and in-house security teams. Our goal is to create a culture of security and to help quantify, define, and capture a return on investment from information technology and cybersecurity spending. Our brand rallies around the battle cry: “Cyber security is a Culture, not a Product.”
Basis of Presentation
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Our interim financial statements are unaudited, and in our opinion, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the periods presented. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the year ending December 31, 2023. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $64,170,352 and had negative cash flows from operations of $5,318,960. At June 30, 2023, we had total current assets of $16,022,786 and total current liabilities of $23,144,217, resulting in a working capital deficit of $7,121,431. At June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,872,175.
Based on our current business plan, we believe our cash balance as of the date of this filing, together with anticipated revenues, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirement for the near term. However, there can be no assurance that the current business plan will be achievable. Such conditions raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Our existence is dependent upon our ability to develop profitable operations. We are devoting substantially all of our efforts to developing our business, reducing overhead costs, and raising capital, although there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful. No assurance can be given that our actions will result in profitable operations or the resolution of liquidity problems. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to improve our liquidity, in addition to a planned reduction in overhead costs, we are actively pursuing additional debt and/or equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to secure additional financing.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the amount or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications of certain immaterial prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We periodically evaluate our estimates and adjust prospectively, if necessary. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results could materially differ.
We believe the critical accounting policies discussed below affects our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the carrying value of intangible assets and goodwill, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, the estimated fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and stock issued in business combinations, and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, share price, and expected dividend rate.

| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue
Our revenue is derived from two major types of services to clients: security managed services and professional services. With respect to security managed services, we provide culture education and enablement, tools and technology provisioning, data and privacy monitoring, regulations and compliance monitoring, remote infrastructure administration, and cybersecurity services, including, but not limited to, antivirus and patch management. With respect to professional services, we provide cybersecurity consulting, compliance auditing, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, and disaster recovery and data backup solutions.
Our revenue is categorized and disaggregated as reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations as follows:
Security Managed Services
Security managed services revenue primarily consists of compliance, security managed services, SOC managed services, and vCISO. We considered these services to be a single performance obligation, and revenue is recognized as services and materials are provided to the customer.
Professional Services
Professional services revenue primarily consists of technical assessments, incident response and forensics, training, and other cybersecurity services. We considered these services to be a single performance obligation, and revenue is recognized in the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. We periodically assess our accounts and other receivables for collectability on a current expected credits loss basis. We provide for allowances for doubtful receivables based on management’s estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and any other factors considered appropriate. Payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice. We write off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our allowance for doubtful accounts was $287,780 and $270,011, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory consists of computer equipment for sale to customers. Inventory is measured using the first-in, first-out method and stated at lower of cost or net realizable value as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The value of inventories is reduced for excess and obsolete inventories. We monitor inventory to identify events that would require impairment due to obsolete inventory and adjust the value of inventory when required. We recorded no inventory impairment losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For dilutive securities, all outstanding options are considered potentially outstanding common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options is calculated using the treasury stock method. All outstanding convertible notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, the options and shares issuable upon conversion thereof have been excluded from our computation of net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognized for the services provided to our customers or annual licenses and is recognized as services are performed or ratably over the life of the license. We generally invoice customers in advance or in milestone-based installments. Deferred revenue of $2,835,291 was recognized as revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, deferred revenue is expected to be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period and is therefore presented as current.
Deferred revenue consisted of the following:
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We utilize ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At June 30, 2023, our net deferred tax asset has been fully reserved due to our current period impairment, we expect to be in a net deferred tax asset position in Chile, and a valuation allowance has been recorded for this jurisdiction during the current period.
For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, we recognize the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations when a determination is made that such expense is likely.

Goodwill
During the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023, our share price reduction was determined to be an indicator of impairment under ASC 350 of our two reporting units, United States and Latin America. We performed an ongoing assessment to consider whether events or circumstances had occurred that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The valuation limitation from our recent share price decline caused us to perform an interim goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2023.
Based on the results of this testing, we recorded a $16,330,838 and $4,507,966 pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge related to the United States reporting unit and Latin America reporting unit, respectively, for the three-months ended June 30, 2023. For the six-months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded $31,776,819 and $9,261,353 of pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges related to the United States reporting unit and Latin America reporting units, respectively. This charge is recorded as Impairment of goodwill on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The overall enterprise fair value was limited by the recent decline in our share price. The reduction in fair value for the reporting units, and corresponding impairment charge, was primarily driven by increase in the discount rate arising from higher equity premiums that reflect significant uncertainty surrounding our company and a decrease in forecasted near-term cashflows of our reporting units.
As part of our quantitative testing process for goodwill of the reporting units, we estimated fair values using a revenue multiple analysis, a form of the income approach, from the perspective of a market participant. Significant assumptions used in the revenue multiple approach are revenue growth rates and revenue multiples of key comparable companies within our industry.
The following table summarizes the changes in goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2023:
The remaining balance of goodwill for the reporting units continue to be at risk for future impairment. There continues to be uncertainty surrounding the factors impacting our business, and a sustained downturn, significantly extended recovery, or a change in long-term revenue growth or profitability for our reporting units could increase the likelihood of an additional future impairment. Additionally, changes in market participant assumptions or further share price reductions could increase the likelihood of further future impairment.
Intangible Assets
We performed an interim impairment test of our intangible assets based upon the conditions that precipitated the interim goodwill impairment test described above.
Based on the results of this testing, we recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges totaling zero and $3,116,039 for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, related to our customer base, intellectual property, tradenames-trademarks and non-compete, which is included in the net carry amount of intangibles in the table below. These charges were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Fair values used in testing for potential impairment of our intangible assets are calculated using a discounted cash flows method by applying estimated cash flows from our forecasted revenue and expenses of the business that utilize those assets. The assumed cash flows from this calculation are discounted at a rate based on a market participant discount rate.
There is uncertainty surrounding the revenue growth factors for these assets and a change in the long-term revenue growth rate or increase in the discount rate assumption could increase the likelihood of a future impairment.
Following the recognition of the impairment losses, the affected assets had an aggregate carrying value of $540,192 as of June 30, 2023.
Intangible assets, net are summarized as follows:
The weighted average remaining useful life of identifiable amortizable intangible assets remaining is 3.50 years as of June 30, 2023.
Amortization of identifiable intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $524,602 and $512,503, respectively, and was $1,271,774 and $817,467 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Based on the balance of intangible assets at June 30, 2023, expected future amortization expense is as follows:

Legal Claims
There are no material pending legal proceedings in which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or security holder is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.
Indirect Taxes
We are subject to indirect taxation in some, but not all, of the various states and foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Laws and regulations attempting to subject commerce conducted over the Internet to various indirect taxes are becoming more prevalent, both in the United States. and internationally, and may impose additional burdens on us in the future. Increased regulation could negatively affect our business directly, as well as the business of our customers. Taxing authorities may impose indirect taxes on the Internet-related revenue we generated based on regulations currently being applied to similar, but not directly comparable, industries. There are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate indirect tax determination is uncertain. In addition, domestic and international indirect taxation laws are complex and subject to change. We may be audited in the future, which could result in changes to our indirect tax estimates. We continually evaluate those jurisdictions in which nexus exists, and believe we maintain adequate indirect tax accruals.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our accrual for estimated indirect tax liabilities was $819,959 and $409,187, respectively, reflecting our best estimate of the potential liability based on an analysis of our business activities, revenues subject to indirect taxes, and applicable regulations. Although we believe our indirect tax estimates and associated liabilities are reasonable, the final determination of indirect tax audits, litigation, or settlements could be materially different than the amounts established for indirect tax contingencies.
Material Agreements
We entered into a consulting agreement in May 2023 with Trending Equities Corp. to provide investor relations and capital introductions to us. The contract requires us to pay a minimum marketing spend of $1,100,000 over the term of the consulting agreement that terminates in November 2023. As of June 30, 2023, our remaining contractual obligation under this agreement was $950,000.

Loans Payable
Loans payable was as follows:
In June 2022, we entered into a bridge loan, secured by substantially all of our assets, in the principal amount of $5,000,000 bearing an interest rate of 4.00% per annum payable monthly with a maturity date of December 14, 2022, which was extended to March 14, 2023. We did not repay this bridge loan on the maturity date, which resulted in an event of default under the terms thereof. As a result, the interest rate applicable to amounts due under this bridge loan increased from 4.00% to 7.50%. This bridge loan was repaid in full on March 20, 2023. We recorded interest expense of zero and $116,667 during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

These term loans are secured by various assets owned by our subsidiaries. We recorded aggregate interest expense on these term loans of $32,257 and $38,479 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Accrued interest as of June 30, 2023 was zero. The aggregate effective interest rate of the term loans is 9.87%.
Our Latin America subsidiaries are the borrowers under certain term loans denominated in Chilean Pesos. These term loans require monthly principal and interest payments. These term loans are secured by various assets owned by our subsidiaries. We recorded aggregate interest expense on these term loans of $119,494 and $255,410 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Accrued interest as of June 30, 2023 was zero.

| LEASES | NOTE 11 – LEASES
We have entered into various non-cancellable operating lease agreements for certain offices. These leases currently have lease periods expiring between 2023 and 2028. The lease agreements may include one or more options to renew. Renewals were not assumed in our determination of the lease term unless the renewals were deemed to be reasonably assured at lease commencement. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The components of lease costs, weighted-average lease term, and discount rates are detailed below.
When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, we discounted lease payments using our estimated incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date of each lease. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 9.78%. As of June 30, 2023, our leases had a remaining weighted average term of 4.15 years.
Operating leases are included in the unaudited condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:
The components of lease costs, which are included in loss from operations in our unaudited condensed consolidated Statements of Operations, were as follows:

| Revenue | Revenue
Our revenue is derived from two major types of services to clients: security managed services and professional services. With respect to security managed services, we provide culture education and enablement, tools and technology provisioning, data and privacy monitoring, regulations and compliance monitoring, remote infrastructure administration, and cybersecurity services, including, but not limited to, antivirus and patch management. With respect to professional services, we provide cybersecurity consulting, compliance auditing, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, and disaster recovery and data backup solutions.
Our revenue is categorized and disaggregated as reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations as follows:
Security Managed Services
Security managed services revenue primarily consists of compliance, security managed services, SOC managed services, and vCISO. We considered these services to be a single performance obligation, and revenue is recognized as services and materials are provided to the customer.
Professional Services
Professional services revenue primarily consists of technical assessments, incident response and forensics, training, and other cybersecurity services. We considered these services to be a single performance obligation, and revenue is recognized in the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. We periodically assess our accounts and other receivables for collectability on a current expected credits loss basis. We provide for allowances for doubtful receivables based on management’s estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and any other factors considered appropriate. Payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice. We write off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our allowance for doubtful accounts was $287,780 and $270,011, respectively.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inventory | Inventory
Inventory consists of computer equipment for sale to customers. Inventory is measured using the first-in, first-out method and stated at lower of cost or net realizable value as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The value of inventories is reduced for excess and obsolete inventories. We monitor inventory to identify events that would require impairment due to obsolete inventory and adjust the value of inventory when required. We recorded no inventory impairment losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net Loss per Common Share |
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For dilutive securities, all outstanding options are considered potentially outstanding common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options is calculated using the treasury stock method. All outstanding convertible notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, the options and shares issuable upon conversion thereof have been excluded from our computation of net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Deferred Revenue | Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognized for the services provided to our customers or annual licenses and is recognized as services are performed or ratably over the life of the license. We generally invoice customers in advance or in milestone-based installments. Deferred revenue of $2,835,291 was recognized as revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, deferred revenue is expected to be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period and is therefore presented as current.
Deferred revenue consisted of the following:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We utilize ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At June 30, 2023, our net deferred tax asset has been fully reserved due to our current period impairment, we expect to be in a net deferred tax asset position in Chile, and a valuation allowance has been recorded for this jurisdiction during the current period.
For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, we recognize the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations when a determination is made that such expense is likely. |
