iCoreConnect Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2024
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
iCoreConnect Inc. (formerly known as FG Merger Corp) (collectively with its subsidiary, the "Company"), a Delaware Corporation, is a cloud-based software and technology company focused on increasing workflow productivity and customer profitability through its enterprise platform of applications and services.
Prior to August 25, 2023, the Company was a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. On August 25, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), the Company consummated the business combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and among FG Merger Corp, a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in Delaware ("FGMC"), FG Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of FGMC ("Merger Sub"), and iCoreConnect Inc., a Nevada corporation("iCore"), dated as of January 5, 2023 ("Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between FGMC and iCore. was affected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into iCore, with iCore. surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FGMC. On the Closing Date, FGMC was renamed "iCoreConnect Inc." and the previous iCoreConect Inc. was renamed "iCore Midco, Inc." ("Old iCore").
Business Combinations
On January 1, 2024 the Company completed the acquisitions for substantial all the assets of (a) Ally Commerce, Inc. dba FeatherPay; (b) Verifi Dental, Limited; and (c) Teamworx LLC which are all accounted for as asset acquisitions. On September 1, 2023, the Company completed the acquisitions for substantially all of the assets of Preferred Dental Development, LLC which was accounted for as an asset acquisition.
Going Concern and Liquidity
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company generated an operating loss of $12,730,323. In addition, at September 30, 2024, the Company has an accumulated deficit, and net working capital deficit of $138,213,468 and $11,670,852 respectively. The Company's activities were primarily financed through private placements of equity securities and issuance of debt. The Company intends to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities to fund its operations. The Company is reliant on future fundraising to finance operations soon. Such financing may not be available on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all. In light of these matters, there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements.
Currently, management intends to develop an improved healthcare communications system and intends to develop alliances with strategic partners to generate revenues that will sustain the Company. While management believes in the viability of its strategy to increase revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. Management's ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent upon its ability to continually increase the Company's customer base and realize increased revenues from signed contracts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10K as filed with the SEC on April 19, 2024 and Form 10-K/A as filed with the SEC on April 29, 2024. The interim results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future periods.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the potential inability of certain customers to make required future payments on amounts due. Management determines the adequacy of this allowance by periodically evaluating the aging and past due nature of individual customer accounts receivable balances and considering the customer's current financial situation as well as the existing industry economic conditions and other relevant factors that would be useful in assessing the risk of collectability. If the future financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make specific required payments, additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. In addition, if the financial condition of customers improves and collections of amounts outstanding commence or are reasonably assured, then the Company may reverse previously established allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company has estimated and recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $59,000 at September 30, 2024.
Software Development Costs and Acquired Software
The Company accounts for software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be sold to external users. In accordance with ASC 985-730, Computer Software Research and Development, research and planning phase costs are expensed as incurred and development phase costs including direct materials and services, payroll and benefits and interest costs are capitalized.
The Company has determined that technological feasibility for its products to be marketed to external users was reached before the release of those products. As a result, the development costs and related acquisition costs after the establishment of technological feasibility were capitalized as incurred. Capitalized costs for software to be sold to external users and software acquired in a business combination are amortized based on current and projected future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to the straight-line amortization over three years.
Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35, Property, Plant and Equipment, Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. This accounting standard requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an entity over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. The Company assess goodwill impairment by the amount by which the carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. As of September 30, 2024 there was no impairment of the Company's Goodwill.

The Company accounts for revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with ASU No. 2017-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and a series of related accounting standard updates (collectively referred to as "Topic 606"). This guidance sets forth a five-step revenue recognition model which replaced the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance and to require more detailed disclosures. The five steps of the revenue recognition model are: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in the contract with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each. To determine the performance obligation, the Company considers all products and services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The timing of satisfaction of the performance obligation is not subject to significant judgment. The Company measures revenue as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods and services. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers that are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
The Company's customers are acquired through its own salesforce and through the referrals from its many state association marketing partners. The Company primarily generates revenue from multiple software as a service (SaaS) offering, which typically include subscriptions to its online software solutions. The Company's secondary source of revenue is professional services and other revenue related to customer onboarding, IT services and equipment sales that often precede a subscription service offering purchased by the customer. Approximately 94% of the Company's revenue is subscription based with the remainder being professional services and other IT related revenue. The geographic concentration of the Company's revenue is 100% in North America.
For the nine months ended September, 2024 and 2023, disaggregated revenues were recurring revenues of $8,062,616 and $5,170,844, respectively and non-recurring revenues of $536,646 and $530,528, respectively.

Management has determined that it has the following performance obligations related to its products and services: multiple SaaS offerings, which typically include subscriptions to our online software solutions. Revenue from Software as a Service, hardware, service repairs, and support & maintenance are all recognized at a point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally occurring upon shipment or delivery dependent upon the terms of the underlying contract, or services is completed. Our customers do not have the right to take possession of the online software solution. Revenue from subscriptions, including additional fees for items such as incremental contacts, is recognized ratably over the subscription period beginning on the date the subscription is made available to customers. Substantially all subscription contracts are one year. We recognize revenue from on-boarding services and equipment as the services are provided. Amounts billed that have not yet met the applicable revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue.
For contracts with customers that contain multiple performance obligations, the Company accounts for the promised performance obligations separately as individual performance obligations if they are distinct. In determining whether performance obligations meet the criteria for being distinct, the Company considers several factors, including the degree of interrelation and interdependence between obligations and whether or not the good or service significantly modifies or transforms another good or service in the contract. After identifying the separate performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company generally determines the standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers. Judgment may be used to determine the standalone selling prices for items that are not sold separately, including taking into consideration either historical pricing practices or an adjusted market assessment. Unsatisfied and partially unsatisfied performance obligations as of the end of the reporting period primarily consist of products and services for which customer purchase orders have been accepted and that are in the process of being delivered.
Transaction price is calculated as the selling price less any variable consideration, consisting of rebates and discounts. Discounts provided to customers are known at contract inception. Rebates are calculated on the "expected value" method where the Company (1) estimates the probability of each rebate amount which could be earned by the distributor, (2) multiplies each estimated amount by its assigned probability factor, and (3) calculates a final sum of each of the probability-weighted amounts calculated in step (2). The sum calculated in step (3) is the rebate amount, which along with discounts reduces the amount of revenue recognized.
The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment cost rather than as an additional promised service. As a result, the Company accrues the costs of shipping and handling when the related revenue is recognized. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in the costs of goods sold on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts billed to a customer for shipping and handling are reported as revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses and include advertising, marketing and promotional programs and are charged as expenses in the year in which they are incurred. Advertising costs were $528,602 and $435,672 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments
The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging", which requires additional disclosures about the Company's objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, how the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and how the derivative instruments and related hedging items affect the financial statements.
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible debt and preferred stock instruments are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required under ASC 815 to be accounted for separately from the host contract and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities, if any, is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results.
Freestanding warrants issued by the Company in connection with the issuance or sale of debt and equity instruments are considered to be derivative instruments. Pursuant to ASC 815, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether the fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability.

Table of Contents |
Financial Instruments With Down Round Features
The Company accounts for financial instruments with down-round features whereby the down-round feature is disregarded when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for the purpose of determining liability of equity classification. The down-round feature (price resets) will be accounted for when triggered. For instruments issued with no floor, such instruments may be required to be recorded as a derivative.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when it is necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount, if any, expected to be realized in future years.
ASC 740, Accounting for Income taxes ("ASC 740"), requires that deferred tax assets be evaluated for future realization and reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent we believe a portion more likely than not will not be realized. We consider many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of our deferred tax assets, including our recent cumulative loss experience and expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdictions, the carry forwarding periods available to us for tax reporting purposes and other relevant factors.
The Company has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits or penalties has not been provided since there has been no unrecognized benefit or penalty. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit or penalty, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company files U.S. Federal income tax returns and various returns in state jurisdictions. The Company's open tax years subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the state Departments of Revenue generally remain open for three years from the date of filing.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by adding other Common Stock equivalents, including stock options, shares issuable on exercise of warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive. Common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share which consisted of all outstanding common stock options and warrants.

Table of Contents |
Debt Obligations and Warrants
For debt obligations issued with warrants, that are determined to have equity treatment, the fair value of the warrants is recorded as a debt discount to offset the debt, based on the relative allocation of fair value of both the debt and the warrants. If the warrants are treated as a derivative liability, the fair value of the warrants would be recorded as a debt discount with no relative allocation.
For debt obligations with debt default provisions, the Company evaluates those provisions to determine if the potential occurrence of any default, would require the Company to record a derivative liability for substantive changes in expected cashflows, of such debt instruments, resulting from the defaults. The Company has issued and outstanding debt obligations that contain default provisions. The Company performed an assessment of such provisions to determine if they were substantive (based on the default provisions) and if so, a derivative liability would be required to be recorded. The Company performed such assessment as of September 30, 2024 and determined the fair value of the liability was de minimis.
Derivative Instruments
The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record any bifurcated embedded features at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded in earnings each period as non-operating, non-cash income or expense. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. Bifurcated embedded features are recorded upon note issuance at their initial fair values which create additional debt discount to the host instrument.
Leases
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases and a series of related Accounting Standards Updates that followed (collectively referred to as "Topic 842"). Topic 842 requires organizations to recognize right-of-use ("ROU") lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous lease guidance. The FASB retained the distinction between finance leases and operating leases, leaving the effect of leases in the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows largely unchanged from previous U.S. GAAP. The Company utilized the transition method allowed under ASU 2018-11 in which an entity initially applies the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, if any.
The Company determines, at contract inception, whether or not an arrangement contains a lease and evaluates the contract for classification as an operating or finance lease. For all leases, ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments, including annual rent increases, over the lease term at commencement date. If the Company's lease does not provide an implicit rate in the contract, the Company uses its incremental, secured borrowing rate based on lease term information available as of the adoption date or lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Any renewal periods are considered in the analysis of each lease to the extent that the Company considers them to be reasonably certain of being exercised.

Business Combinations
The Company applies the principles provided in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations, to determine whether an acquisition involves an asset or a business. In determining whether an acquisition should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition, The Company first determines whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If this is the case, the single identifiable asset or the group of similar assets is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If this is not the case, The Company then further evaluate whether the single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets and activities includes, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. If so, the transaction is accounted for as a business combination.
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting which requires that (i) identifiable assets acquired (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities assumed generally be measured and recognized at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date and (ii) the excess of the purchase price over the net estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized as goodwill, which is not amortized for accounting purposes but is subject to testing for impairment at least annually.
The Company measures and recognizes asset acquisitions that are not deemed to be business combinations based on the cost to acquire the assets. Goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition with any consideration in excess of net assets acquired allocated to acquired assets on a relative estimated fair value basis. Transaction costs are expensed in a business combination and transaction costs directly attributable to an asset acquisition are considered a component of the cost of the asset acquisition.
Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments -Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected.
The Company completed its assessment on the adoption date of the new standard and did not adjust the opening balance of retained earnings relating to its trade receivables. The Company writes off receivables once it is determined that they are no longer collectible, as local laws allow.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting - Improving Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280)." The standard is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The standard requires disclosure to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM, a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. The standard also requires all annual disclosures currently required by ASC Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company completed its assessment of the new standard and determined that the standard did not apply as the Company currently only has one reportable segment.
Not Yet Adopted
In October 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-06, "Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative." This standard affects a wide variety of Topics in the Codification. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures, The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATION AND RECAPITALIZATION
On August 25, 2023, Old iCore and FGMC consummated the Business Combination, with Old iCore surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of FGMC. As part of the Business Combination, FGMC changed its name to iCoreConnect Inc. Upon the closing of the Business Combination (the "Closing"), the Company's certificate of incorporation provided for, among other things, a total number of authorized shares of capital stock of 140,000,000 shares, of which 40,000,000 shares were designated Series A preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share and 100,000,000 were designated common stock, $0.0001 par value per share.
The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, FGMC is treated as the "acquired" company and Old iCore is treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Old iCore issuing stock for the net assets of FGMC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of FGMC are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded.
Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each issued and outstanding share of Old iCore Common Stock was canceled and converted into Company Common Stock based upon the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The shares and corresponding capital amounts and loss per share related to Old iCore Common Stock prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated to reflect the Exchange Ratio. All non-redeemed shares of FGMC common stock were converted into new iCoreConnect Inc. Series A preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock") on a one for one basis.
Unvested outstanding stock options to purchase shares of Old iCore Common Stock ("Old iCore Options") granted under the iCoreConnect Inc 2016 Stock Incentive Plan ("2016 Plan") converted into stock options for shares of Company Common Stock upon the same terms and conditions that were in effect with respect to such stock options immediately prior to the Business Combination, after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio (the "Exchanged Options"). Old iCore Options that were vested at the time of the merger converted into shares of Company Common Stock upon the same terms and conditions that were in effect with respect to such options immediately prior to the Business Combination, after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio.
Outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Old iCore Common Stock ("Old iCore warrants") issued and outstanding converted into shares of Company Common Stock upon the same terms and conditions that were in effect with respect to such warrants immediately prior to the Business Combination, after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio.
The following table details the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination:

In January 2024, the Company purchased Acquired Technology in the amount of $7,148,083. The amortization expense of intangible assets was $2,297,671 and $nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company's amortization is based on no residual value using the straight-line amortization method as it best represents the benefit of the intangible assets.
In July 2024, the Company purchased customer relations ships in exchange for 32,328 shares of common stock with a value of $30,000.
5. FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT
On August 14, 2023, the Company entered into Prepaid Forward Purchase Agreement (the "FPA") with Old iCore and RiverNorth SPAC Arbitrage Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Purchaser").
In accordance with the FPA and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Purchaser purchased the lesser of (a) 1.5 million shares of FGMC Common Stock and (b) such number of shares of FGMC Common Stock as shall, following the Business Combination, not exceed 9.9% of the total number of shares of FGMC Common Stock to be outstanding (such shares to be purchased, the "Forward Purchase Shares") from public shareholders for a price no greater than the redemption price per share as is indicated in FGMC's most recently filed periodic report (the "Prepaid Forward Purchase Price").
In accordance with the terms of the Business Combination, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each Forward Purchase Share automatically converted into one share of Preferred Stock (including the shares of the Company's Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock, the "Purchased Shares").
15 |
Table of Contents |
Upon the Business Combination closing, 100,000 Purchased Shares were deemed to be "Commitment Shares" and the remaining Purchased Shares were deemed to be "Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares".
Upon the closing of the Business Combination FGMC caused Purchaser to be paid directly out of the funds held in FGMC's trust account, a cash amount (the "Prepayment Amount") equal to the number of Purchased Shares multiplied by the amount paid to redeeming stockholders in connection with the Business Combination (the "Redemption Price"). The Redemption Price was $10.69.
Upon the sale of the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares (or underlying FGMC Common Stock) by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will remit the Reference Price (as defined below) per share to FGMC. On the earlier to occur of:
· |
the occurrence of a "Registration Failure" (as defined in the FPA), and |
|
· |
the date that is eighteen months after the closing of the Business Combination (the "Maturity Date"), then, for any Common Stock underlying the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares not sold by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall, on the 25th trading day after the Maturity Date (the "Payment Date"), pay the Company an amount equal to (i) the number of Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares that the Purchaser held on the Maturity Date, multiplied by (ii) the lowest daily volume weighted average price per share of FGMC Common Stock during the twenty trading days beginning on the day after the Maturity Date less $0.15. |
Any Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares that are held as Preferred Stock by the Purchaser will not be eligible for the earning or payment of dividends.
Between the Maturity Date and the Payment Date, the Purchaser may not sell more than a number of Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares per day equal to the greater of (i) 5% of the Purchased Shares owned by the Purchaser at the Maturity Date and (ii) 10% of the daily trading volume on such date.
The Purchaser has agreed that until the Maturity Date, the Common Stock underlying the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares may not be sold for a price less than the Reference Price. The "Reference Price" will initially equal the Redemption Price and will be reduced (but never increased) each month commencing on the first day of the month starting 30 days after the Business Combination closing to the volume weighted average price of the FGMC Common Stock for the preceding 10 trading days, but in no event less than $10.00 per share (the "Floor") unless in the Company's sole discretion, the Floor is lowered. Any reduction of the Floor shall be accomplished through a written notice from the Company to Purchaser.
The FPA provides for certain registration rights. In particular, FGMC is required to, within 30 calendar days following written request by Purchaser, file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of all shares held by Purchaser and have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.
In August 2024, the parties entered into an amendment which extend the conversion date to the maturity date. In addition, the parties confirmed their agreement that the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares would not be eligible for dividends or any downside protection while such shares remained as Preferred Stock.
Given the Company has not been able to have the Preferred Stock trade on any exchange, the Company is valuing the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares at market value as of September 2024 as these share can likely only extra value if converted into Common Stock.

On February 26, 2024, The Company executed a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain institutional investors (the "Investors"). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Investors agreed to purchase from the Company unsecured convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2,375,000. The Purchase Agreement contemplates funding of the investment across two tranches. At the first closing (the "Initial Closing") an aggregate principal amount of $1,375,000 will be issued upon the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,250,000, representing an original issue discount of 10%. On such date (the "Initial Closing Date"), the Company will also issue the Investors 85,174 shares of Company common stock (the "Commitment Shares"). Subject to satisfying the conditions discussed below, the Company has the right under the Purchase Agreement, but not the obligation, to require that the Investors purchase additional Notes at one additional closing. Upon notice, the Company may require that the Investors purchase an additional aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000 of Notes, in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000,000, if, among other items, (i) the Registration Statement (as described below) is effective; and (ii) the Shareholder Approval (as described below) has been obtained. The Notes will mature 12 months from their respective issuance date (the "Maturity Date"), unless earlier converted. Commencing on the six-month anniversary of the issue date, the Company will be required to make monthly amortization payments pursuant to the Note of approximately 1/6th of the principal amount of the Note per month (the "Amortization Payments"). The Notes will be the Company's unsecured obligations and equal in right of payment with all of our other indebtedness and other indebtedness of any of our subsidiaries. The Notes were issued with an original issue discount of 10.0% per annum, and will not accrue additional interest during the term; provided that the interest rate of the Notes will automatically increase to 16% per annum (the "Default Rate") upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default. Each holder of Notes may convert all, or any part, of the outstanding Notes, at any time at such holder's option, into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial "Conversion Price" of $1.848 per share, which is subject to proportional adjustment upon the occurrence of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination and/or similar transactions. With limited exceptions, if the Company at any time while a Note is outstanding, issues any common stock or securities entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of common stock (upon conversion, exercise or otherwise), at an effective price per share less than the Conversion Price then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the same price as the new investment. A holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of a Note to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the holder (together with certain related parties) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99%, or the "Maximum Percentage", of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. If the Company fails to make any Amortization Payments when due, then each holder may alternatively elect to convert all or any portion of such holder's Notes at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price, and (ii) 90% of the lowest VWAP of the common stock during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to such conversion. On April 26, 2024, the Company and the Investors entered into an amendment to the Purchase Agreements (the "Amendment") and related transaction documents, pursuant to which the terms of the Financing were amended. The amended terms include, but are not limited to, an increase in the total amount of the Notes issuable under the Financing to an aggregate principal amount of up to $8,250,000. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company has the right to provide the Note holders a notice that permits the holders to voluntarily convert the Notes at any time at the Market Price (defined below) on the date of conversion (such notice "Voluntary Conversion Notice"). |

On such date (the "Second Closing Date"), the Company also issued the Investors 50,734 shares of Company common stock (the "Second Commitment Shares"). The Notes will mature 12 months from their respective issuance date (the "Maturity Date"), unless earlier converted. Commencing on the six-month anniversary of the issue date, the Company will be required to make monthly amortization payments pursuant to the Note of approximately 1/6th of the principal amount of the Note per month (the "Amortization Payments"). The Notes will be the Company's unsecured obligations and equal in right of payment with all of our other indebtedness and other indebtedness of any of our subsidiaries. The Notes were issued with an original issue discount of 10.0% per annum, and will not accrue additional interest during the term; provided that the interest rate of the Notes will automatically increase to 16% per annum (the "Default Rate") upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default (See "- Events of Default" below). Each holder of Notes may convert all, or any part, of the outstanding Notes, at any time at such holder's option, into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial "Conversion Price" of $0.77 per share, which is subject to proportional adjustment upon the occurrence of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination and/or similar transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on July 31, 2024, the Company provided the holders of all of the Notes a Voluntary Conversion Notice and accordingly, the Notes may be converted by the holders at any time at the Market Price (defined below). With limited exceptions, if the Company at any time while a Note is outstanding, issues any common stock or securities entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of common stock (upon conversion, exercise or otherwise), at an effective price per share less than the Conversion Price then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the same price as the new investment. A holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of a Note to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the holder (together with certain related parties) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99%, or the "Maximum Percentage", of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. If the Company fails to make any Amortization Payments when due, then each holder may alternatively elect to convert all or any portion of such holder's Notes at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price, and (ii) 90% of the lowest VWAP of the common stock during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to such conversion (the "Market Price"). The Notes contain standard and customary events of defaults (each, an "Event of Default"), including but not limited: (i) failure to pay to the holder any amounts when due; iii) the failure to timely file or make effective the Registration Statement (as described below) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, (iii) the failure to obtain Shareholder Approval (as described below), and (iv) bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company. The Notes prohibit the Company from entering specified fundamental transactions (including, without limitation, mergers, business combinations and similar transactions) unless the Company (or the Company's successor) assumes in writing all of the obligations under the Notes and the other transaction documents in the Financing. In addition, if such event occurs then the holder of the Note shall have the right to (i) be repaid the full amount owed under the Note and (ii) receive upon conversion of all or any portion of the Note such stock, securities or assets which the holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had the Note been converted immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein).

On July 31, 2024, the Company and the Investors entered into a waiver agreement pursuant to which the Investors agreed to waive certain events of default under the Notes related to the Company's failure to file its Form 10-K on a timely basis and delays in registering the resale of the common stock underlying the Notes issued in February 2024. In consideration for the waiver, the Company issued the investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,680,555 shares (the "Warrants"). In compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the Company is not able to issue any shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrants if the issuance of such shares of common stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of common stock which the Company may without breaching the Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company obtained shareholder approval for such transaction on September 16, 2024. Each Warrant has an initial exercise price per share equal to $0.90. The Warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our shares of common stock and the exercise price. Subject to certain exemptions outlined in the Warrant, for the life of the Warrant, if the Company sells or issues any common stock or convertible security, at an effective price per share less than the exercise price of the Warrant then in effect (a "Dilutive Issuance"), the exercise price of the Warrant will be reduced to the price per share in the Dilutive Issuance and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be proportionally adjusted so that the aggregate exercise price of the Warrant shall remain unchanged; provided that the exercise price of the Warrants may not be lowered below $0.135 per share. A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the outstanding shares of common stock immediately after exercise. If at the time a holder exercises its Warrants, a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Warrants. The registration statement for the resale of the common stock underlying the warrants went effective on October 23, 2024. The promissory notes are subordinated to the Company's senior lenders. |

10. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and trade accounts receivables. The Company places its cash with high-credit-quality financial institutions. At times, such cash may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance coverage limit of $250,000 per depositor. As a result, there could be a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company has not experienced any losses due to these excess deposits and believes the risk is not significant. With respect to trade receivables, management routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that the receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

Access to the Company's software products usually requires immediate payment but can extend several months under certain circumstances. Management periodically and regularly reviews customer account activity in order to assess the adequacy of allowances for doubtful accounts, considering such factors as economic conditions and each customer's payment history and creditworthiness. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, or if they were otherwise unable to make payments in accordance with management's expectations, we might have to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts, modify their financial terms and/or pursue alternative collection methods.
The Company has no significant customers (greater than 10% of total revenue) in its nine-month 2024 revenue. The Company has accounts receivable concentration with three customers in 2024 representing 45% of total accounts receivables outstanding as of September 30, 2024, and one customer that represented 31% of accounts receivable outstanding as of December 31, 2023.

About the Company
Company History
The Company is a cloud-based software and technology company focused on increasing workflow productivity and customer profitability through its enterprise platform of applications and services.
Software as a Service (SaaS) Offerings
The Company currently markets secure Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) offering under the names of iCoreRx, iCorePDMP, iCoreEPCS, iCoreVerify, iCoreVerify+, iCoreHuddle, iCoreHuddle+, iCoreCodeGenius, iCoreExchange, iCoreCloud, iCorePay, iCoreSecure, and iCoreIT. The Company's software is sold under annual recurring revenue subscriptions.
iCoreRx - iCoreRx is a HIPAA compliant electronic prescription SaaS solution that integrates with popular practice management and electronic health record systems. It saves time by selecting exact medications at available doses with built-in support from a drug directory and provides full support for Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances (iCoreEPCS). It protects both the patient and provider by viewing the patient's complete medication history. It also speeds up the process by allowing the doctor to create a "favorites" list for commonly used medication sets.
iCorePDMP is an add-on for iCoreRx that seamlessly integrates with state databases to automate prescription drug monitoring. Providers in many states are required to check the patient's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) history before prescribing controlled substances. This service provides one-click real-time access to the state databases without the need to manually enter data. This tool also generates patient risk scores and an interactive visualization of usage patterns to help the prescriber identify potential risk factors. The prescriber can then use this report to make decisions on objective insight into potential drug misuse or abuse which will ultimately lead to improved patient safety and better patient outcomes.
iCoreVerify and iCoreVerify+ - iCoreVerify is a HIPAA compliant SaaS solution that automatically retrieves a patients insurance eligibility breakdown to verify their benefits seven (7) days in advance of their appointment and on-demand using iCoreConnect's real time technology. Automation runs daily to verify insurance every patient on the schedule a full week in advance of their appointment date. The system returns results typically in less than one second for most responses. This substantially reduces the phone calls and labor hours for the practice.

iCoreIT -The trend in IT Services companies for over a decade has been to move away from a "Break/Fix model" to a "Managed Service Provider (MSP)" and "Managed Software as a Service (MSaaS)" model with recurring revenue.
Managed IT Services (MSP and MSaaS)
The MSP/MSaaS approach, by using preventative measures, keeps computers and networks up and running while data is accessible and safeguarded. Installation of critical patches and updates to virus protection are automated. Systems are monitored and backed up in real-time. They are fixed or upgraded before they cause a service disruption. A Unified Threat Management solution is deployed to protect against virus, malware, SPAM, phishing and ransomware attacks. Remote technical support is a click away. All support is delivered at a predictable monthly cost.
By leveraging managed services with our expertise in cloud computing, our customers can scale their business without extensive capital investment or disruption in services.
We derive most of our revenue from subscriptions to our cloud-based SaaS and MSaaS offerings. Subscription revenue related to SaaS and MSaaS offerings account for 94% and 91% of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We sell multiple offerings at different base prices on a subscription basis to meet the needs of the customers we serve.
Professional services and other revenue account for 6% and 9% of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Professional services and other revenue include hardware, software, labor, and other revenues related to customer onboarding for SaaS/MSaaS services or one-time, non-recurring services.

Financing
We are currently funding our business capital requirements through sales of our common stock and debt arrangements. While we intend to seek additional funding, if revenue increases to a point where we are able to sustain ourselves and increase our budget to match our growth needs, we may significantly reduce the amount of investment capital we seek. The amount of funds raised, and revenue generated, if any, will determine how aggressively we can grow and what additional projects we will be able to undertake. No assurance can be given that we will be able to raise additional capital when needed or at all, or that such capital, if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to, or do not raise additional capital in the near future or if our revenue does not begin to grow as we expect, we will have to curtail our spending and downsize our operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as recognized in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe that the most critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, software development capitalization and amortization, income taxes, stock-based compensation, and long-lived assets and goodwill. See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenues. Net revenues increased to $8,599,262 from $5,701,372 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in revenue was driven by sales in the Company's core SaaS offerings coupled with the addition of sales related to its asset acquisitions which are predominantly recurring services.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $1,946,704 an increase from $1,493,357. The moderate increase in cost of sales is consistent with the increase in growth in recurring revenue over non-recurring revenues which have a higher margin associated with delivery. The Company has been able to continue leverage its capacity in its data centers and other systems to bring on customers while being able to keep costs related to support and service in check.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $17,061,929 and $9,189,829, respectively. The increase is largely attributed to a one-time $4,779,580 cost associated with stock based compensation for members of the management team that were awarded special compensation for completing the business combination. The Company did not have enough instruments available under its 2023 Stock Plan and required the plan increase to be approved by its Shareholders. Shareholder approval was obtained in May 2024 and the Company expensed the value of this award in full during the period. The increase between periods is also due to an increase in payroll expenses related to the cost to service its asset acquisitions and other general and administrative expenses to support the rate of growth.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $951,173 and $1,007,120, respectively. The decrease between periods was primarily due to the Company having a large portion of debt being converted into common stock prior to the merger.

In addition, the Company issued higher levels of convertible debt than in the comparative period resulting in additional financing costs being reported.

LIQUIDITY, GOING CONCERN AND CAPITAL
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 the Company generated an operating loss of $12,730,323. In addition, as of September 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit and net working capital deficit of $138,213,468, and $11,670,852, respectively. The Company's activities were primarily financed through private placements of equity securities and issuance of debt. The Company is seeking to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities to fund its operations, although it has no commitments for such capital and there is no assurance that it will be successful in raising any additional capital. The Company is reliant on future fundraising to finance operations in the near future. If the Company fails to raise additional capital in the near future, it will be required to curtail or cease its operations. In light of these matters, there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements.
Management has introduced new lines of services with higher margins while it continues to develop strategic partnerships and has ramped up selling into the existing customer base as well as penetrate larger organizations with multiple customers while continuing to scope out additional areas of opportunity. While management believes in the viability of its strategy to increase revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. Management's ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent upon its ability to continually increase the Company's customer base and realize increased revenues from signed contracts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The primary factors that influence our liquidity include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of our equity and debt raises, revenues, cash collections from our clients, capital expenditures, and investments in research and development.
The following table summarizes the impact of operating, investing and financing activities on our cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 related to our operations:

Operating Activities: Net cash used by operating activities of $1,258,941 for nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 was $503,010 less than the $1,761,630 cash used by operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in cash utilized by operating activities was primarily attributable to a larger non-cash charge add backs over the comparative periods along with increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and lower prepaid expenses. Future spending on operating activities is expected to be funded by the sale of and issuance of additional shares of common stock.
Investing Activities: Net cash used by investing activities was $1,901,003 and $9,989,644 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The overall decrease was mainly attributable to the merger related costs in 2023. Future spending on investing activities is expected to be funded by the sale of and issuance of additional shares of common stock.
Financing Activities: Net cash provided by financing activities of $2,152,932 and $12,012,831 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The cash decrease was a result of reduced net issuance of debt less payments for 2024 while in 2023 the increase was attributed to net issuance of debt less payments along with sale of common stock and merger related items.

Credit Facilities
On September 12, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Arena Business Solutions Global SPC II, Ltd. on behalf of and for the account of Segregated Portfolio #8 - SPC #8 ("Arena"), pursuant to which Arena committed to purchase up to $40 million (the "Commitment Amount") of our common stock, at our direction from time to time, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in the Purchase Agreement.
As consideration for Arena's irrevocable commitment to purchase Common Stock upon the terms of and subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue a total of 291,259 shares of Common Stock equaling $600,000 (the "Commitment Fee Shares") based on a price per share equal to the simple average daily VWAP of the Common Stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the date on which the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective.
This line was cancelled in February 2024 and the Company expensed deferred costs of $1,008,376 related to this transaction which are reported as financing costs.
On August 16, 2024, the Company executed a Registration Rights Agreement with Clearthink (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement within 30 days registering the shares of Company common stock issuable pursuant to the Strata Agreement. Clearthink has no right to require the Company to sell any shares of common stock to Clearthink, but Clearthink is obligated to make purchases at the Company's direction subject to certain conditions. There is no upper limit on the price per share that Clearthink could be obligated to pay for the common stock under the Strata Agreement.
Actual sales of shares of common stock to Clearthink from time to time will depend on a variety of factors, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Company's common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for its operations. The net proceeds that the Company may receive under the Strata Agreement cannot be determined at this time, since it will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sell shares of its common stock to Clearthink, the Company's ability to meet the conditions of the Strata Agreement and the other limitations, terms and conditions of the Strata Agreement. The Company expects that any proceeds received by the Company from such sales to Clearthink will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Under the applicable rules of Nasdaq and the Strata Agreement, the Company will not sell or issue to Clearthink shares of its common stock, other than the Commitment Fee Shares (defined below), in excess of 19.99% of the Company's shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of the Strata Agreement (the "Exchange Cap"), unless the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap.
The Strata Agreement also prohibits the Company from directing Clearthink to purchase any shares of common stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of the Company's common stock then beneficially owned by Clearthink and its affiliates as a result of purchases under the Strata Agreement, would result in Clearthink and its affiliates having beneficial ownership of more than the 9.99% of the Company's then outstanding common stock.
The Company may direct Clearthink to purchase amounts of its common stock under the Strata Agreement that it specifies from time to time in a written notice (a "Request Notice") delivered to Clearthink on any trading day up to the Commitment Amount. The maximum amount that the Company may specify in any one Request Notice is equal to the lesser of $1,000,000 or 500% of the average number of shares traded for the 10 trading days prior to the date of the Request Notice.
The purchase price of the shares of common stock will be equal shall equal 80% of the average of the two lowest daily volume-weighted average prices if the Company's common stock is traded under $0.25 per share and 85% of the average of the two lowest daily volume-weighted average prices if the Company's common stock is traded between $0.26 to $0.50 and 88% of the average of the two lowest daily volume-weighted average prices if the Company's common stock is traded between $0.51 - $0.99 and 90% of the average of the two lowest daily volume-weighted average prices if the Company's common stock is traded over $1.00 during the five trading days preceding the purchase date.

Unless earlier terminated as provided in the Strata Agreement, the Strata Agreement will terminate automatically on the earliest to occur of: (i) the 24-month anniversary of the date of the Registration Statement becoming effective; and (ii) the date on which Clearthink shall have purchased shares of common stock under the Strata Agreement for an aggregate gross purchase price equal to Commitment Amount under the Strata Agreement.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports 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 or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure..
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer who is our principal executive officer and our Chief Financial Officer, who is our principal financial and accounting officer, have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company's accounting for complex financial instruments and material weakness related to our inability to adequately segregate responsibilities over the financial reporting process to ensure the accuracy of information. In addition, management has further identified deficiencies within its corporate governance practices, as the Company did not have the necessary controls in place to understand the impact on equity holders and monitor the issuance of instruments with down round features. To address this material weakness, management has devoted, and plans to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of its internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance these processes to better evaluate its research and understanding of the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to its financial statements. We plan to include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among its personnel and third-party professionals with whom it consults regarding complex accounting applications and we also plan to hire additional personnel to help provide adequate segregation of duties in the financial reporting process.
Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have not identified any change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company from time to time, may be a party to various litigation, claims and disputes, arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate impact of such actions cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe the outcome of these matters, except for that noted below, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
On February 21, 2023, the Company received a notice under section 21 of Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 related to a dispute pursuant to contract between the Company and a service provider, pursuant to which the service provider has asserted the Company has violated the terms of the contract and has claimed damages of approximately $635,000. The Company is evaluating the claims asserted against it and intends to defend itself vigorously in these proceedings; however, there can be no assurances that it will be successful in its efforts.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
If we are unable to maintain compliance with the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and could make it more difficult for you to sell your shares.
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and we are therefore subject to its continued listing requirements, including requirements with respect to the market value of publicly-held shares, market value of listed shares, minimum bid price per share, and minimum stockholder's equity, among others, and requirements relating to board and committee independence. If we fail to satisfy one or more of the requirements, we may be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market.
On July 8, 2024, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying us that for the last 32 consecutive business days the closing bid price for our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule").
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the "Compliance Period Rule"), we have been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until January 6, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If, at any time before the January 6, 2025, the closing bid price for our common stock closes at $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written notification to us that we comply with the Bid Price Rule, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H).
If we are not in compliance with the Bid Price Rule by January 6, 2025, we may be afforded a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance. To qualify, we would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the minimum bid price requirement. In addition, we would be required to notify Nasdaq of our intent to cure the minimum bid price deficiency, which may include, if necessary, implementing a reverse stock split.
On August 20, 2024, we received an additional deficiency letter from the Staff, which notified us that we did not presently comply with Nasdaq's Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Equity Rule"), which requires that we maintain a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders' equity, and that we also did not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations set forth in the Equity Rule. We 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance, which we submitted. If our plan is accepted, the Staff can grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from August 20, 2024 (or on or about February 14, 2025) to evidence compliance. After review of the plan of compliance, the Staff will provide written notification to us whether it accepts the plan, and if the Staff does not accept the plan, we would then be entitled to appeal the Staff's determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. There can be no assurance that, if we appeal the determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, that such appeal would be successful.
If we do not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by January 6, 2025 and are not eligible for an additional compliance period at that time or if we do not regain compliance with the Equity Rule by February 14, 2025, the Staff will provide written notification to us that our common stock may be delisted. We would then be entitled to appeal the Staff's determination to a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel and request a hearing. There can be no assurance that, if we do appeal the delisting determination by the Staff to the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel, that such appeal would be successful.
Delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market would adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of equity securities, may significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities and may negatively affect the value and liquidity of our common stock. Delisting also could have other negative results, including the potential loss of employee confidence, the loss of institutional investors or interest in business development opportunities.
