Nature
of the Business
Cerberus
Sentinel is a security services company comprised of security professionals who work with clients throughout the United States to create
a continuously aware security culture. We do not sell cybersecurity products. We position the Company as a trusted cybersecurity advisor
and are committed to delivering tailored security solutions to organizations of different sizes and across all geographies and industries
to fit their budgetary needs and limit their cyber threat exposure.
We
currently provide a multitude of cybersecurity services including managed security service, cybersecurity consulting, technology consulting,
compliance auditing, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, security remediation, Security Operations Center (“SOC”)
set-up and consulting and cybersecurity training. We differentiate ourselves from our competitors by staying technology agnostic. We
believe that many cybersecurity service providers in the market today are committed to a specific technology solution which limits their
service scope and ability to quickly respond to any emerging cybersecurity challenges. In addition, as we continue to serve our clients
within our existing capacities, we plan to continue making strategic acquisitions of small-to-medium-sized engineer-led cybersecurity
service firms to continue to expand our service scope and geographical coverage. We believe that having a world-class technology team
with multi-faceted expertise is key to providing technology agnostic solutions to our clients and maximizing their return on investment
from information technology (“IT”) and cybersecurity spending.

Liquidity
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as
a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and satisfying liabilities in the normal course of business. At September 30,
2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 11,013,392
and working capital surplus of approximately $ 646,000 .
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had a loss from operations of approximately $ 6,920,167
and negative cash flows from operations
of approximately $ 4,312,312 .
Although the Company is showing positive revenues and gross profit trends, the Company expects to incur further losses through the end
of 2021.
To
date the Company has been funding operations primarily through the sale of equity in private placements and revenues generated by the
Company’s services. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company received $ 3,250,000 from private placements of
the Company’s common stock.
Based
on its current cash resources and commitments, the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development and corresponding
level of expenditure for at least twelve months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements,
although no assurance can be given that it will not need additional funds prior to such time.
NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information as of September 30, 2021, and for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2021 and 2020, has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”)
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the
opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for such periods.
Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant
to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. These unaudited financial statements and related notes should
be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021.
Consolidation
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, GenResults,
LLC (“GenResults”), TalaTek, Inc. (“TalaTek”), Techville, Clear Skies, Alpine, and VelocIT. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, to conform to the
financial statements presentation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. These reclassifications had no effect on net
loss or cash flows as previously reported.

of Estimates
Preparing
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The
Company believes the critical accounting policies discussed below affect its 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, and expected divided rate.
Revenue
The
Company’s revenues are derived from two major types of services to clients: Managed Services and Consulting Services. With respect
to Managed Services, the Company provides 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 Consulting Services, the Company provides cybersecurity consulting, compliance auditing,
vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, and disaster recovery and data backup solutions.
Practical
Expedients
As
part of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, the Company has adopted several practical expedients including the
following: (i) the Company has determined that it need not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant
financing component since the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised service
to the customer and when the customer pays for that service will be one year or less and (ii) the Company recognizes any incremental
costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have
recognized is one year or less.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company periodically
assesses its accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. The Company provides 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. The Company writes off accounts receivable against
the allowance for doubtful accounts when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020,
the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 76,200
and $ 40,000 ,
respectively.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets, generally between three and five years. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of the assets are capitalized and depreciated.
Computer equipment costs for the Company are capitalized, as incurred, and depreciated on a straight-line basis over three years. TalaTek
capitalizes all equipment costs over $ 5,000 and depreciates these costs on a straight-line basis over three years.
Maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in results of operations.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company reviews long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the
forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined
to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets
of the operation, to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature
of the assets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company did not record a loss on impairment.
10
Intangible
Assets
The
Company records its intangible assets at cost in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other . Finite-lived
intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, which is determined by identifying the
period over which the cash flows from the asset are expected to be generated.
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 least annually at year end, at the reporting unit level or more frequently
if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit
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 discounted cash flow
approaches. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The discounted cash flow
approach uses expected future operating results. Failure to achieve these expected results may cause a future impairment of goodwill
at the reporting unit level (See Note 6).
Advertising
and Marketing Costs
The
Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses were $ 254,026 and $ 30,488 for
the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are recorded in operating expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of operations. Advertising and marketing expenses were $ 471,721 and $ 104,058 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021
and 2020, respectively, and are recorded in operating expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Fair
Value Measurements
As
defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). ASC 820 establishes
a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs
(level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.
Level
1:
Quoted
prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level
2:
Pricing
inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as
of the reported date.
Level
3:
Pricing
inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally
developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. The significant unobservable inputs used in
the fair value measurement for nonrecurring fair value measurements of long-lived assets include pricing models, discounted cash
flow methodologies and similar techniques.
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.
All vested 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 have been excluded from the Company’s computation of net loss per common share for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
11
The
following tables summarize the securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these
potential shares was antidilutive due to the Company’s net loss position even though the exercise price could be less than the
average market price of the common shares:

Stock-based
Compensation
The
Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation , which requires the measurement and recognition of
compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the statements of operations.
For
stock options issued to employees and members of the board of directors for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair
value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management
to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the
expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based
vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to
the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting
term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised. Due to the Company’s
limited history and lack of public trading volume for its common stock, the Company used the average of historical share prices of similar
companies within its industry to calculate volatility for use in the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Pursuant
to Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee
Share-Based Payment Accounting , the Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance with
ASC 718. The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions to value stock options that are in line with the process for valuing employee
stock options noted above.
Leases
Leases
in which the Company is the lessee are comprised of corporate offices and property and equipment. All of the leases are classified as
operating leases. The Company leases multiple office spaces with a remaining weighted average term of 1.17 years. The Company leases
a vehicle with a remaining term of 0.67 years.
In
accordance with ASC 842, Leases , the Company recognized a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and corresponding lease liability
on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for long-term office leases and a vehicle operating lease agreement. See Note 12
– Leases for further discussion, including the impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures.
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.
12
The
Company utilizes 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.
The Company accounts 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 September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company’s
net deferred tax asset has been fully reserved.
For
uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax
positions in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s 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.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
March 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-03, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). ASU 2021-03 requires an entity to identify
and evaluate goodwill impairment triggering events when they occur to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value
of a reporting unit (or entity, if the entity has elected the accounting alternative for amortizing goodwill and chosen that option)
is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the goodwill is impaired. It must test
goodwill for impairment using the triggering event date as the measurement date. An entity is required to disclose the amount assigned
to goodwill in total and by major business combination, or by reorganization event resulting in fresh-start reporting. Also, the entity
must disclose the weighted average amortization period in total and the amortization period by major business combination, or by reorganization
event resulting in fresh-start reporting. ASU 2021-03 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2021 and did not have a significant
impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In
May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50),
Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus
of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU requires issuers to account for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified
written call options that remain equity classified after the modification or exchange based on the economic substance of the modification
or exchange. Under the ASU, an issuer determines the accounting for the modification or exchange based on whether the transaction was
done to issue equity, to issue or modify debt, or for other reasons. The ASU is applied prospectively and is effective for the Company
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this standard will have on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
All
newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not applicable or immaterial to the Company.
NOTE
3 – ACQUISITIONS
Catapult
Acquisition Corporation
On
August 12, 2021, the Company effected an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with
Catapult Acquisition Merger Sub, LLC (“Merger Sub”), Catapult Acquisition Corporation (d/b/a VelocIT) (“VelocIT”),
the shareholders of VelocIT and Derek Hahn, in his capacity as the shareholder representative. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the
Merger Sub merged with and into VelocIT, with VelocIT surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “VelocIT
Acquisition”). At the effective time of the VelocIT Acquisition, VelocIT’s outstanding common stock was exchanged for 2,566,778
shares of the Company’s common stock.
13
Immediately
following the VelocIT Acquisition, the Company had 120,296,749 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The pre-acquisition stockholders
of the Company retained an aggregate of 117,729,971 shares, representing approximately 98 % ownership of the post-acquisition company.
Therefore, upon consummation of the VelocIT Acquisition, there was no change in control.
The
Company accounted for this transaction in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Assets and
liabilities of the acquired business were included in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, based on the respective
estimated fair value on the date of acquisition as determined in a purchase price allocation using available information and making assumptions
management believed are reasonable.
Per
ASC 805, Business Combinations , the measurement period is the period after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may
adjust the provisional amounts recognized for a business combination. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition
date. The Company has identified the acquisition date as August 12, 2021 . Subsequent to the issuance of these financial statements, the
Company expects to obtain a third-party valuation on the fair value of the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets,
and the liabilities assumed for use in the purchase price allocation.
During
the period subsequent to the effective date of the acquisition, VelocIT recorded revenue of $ 985,146 and a net loss of $ 1,695,276 for
the period from August 12, 2021 to September 30, 2021.
The
following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed
as of the transaction date:

Goodwill (a.)(b.)
$ 16,823,655
a.
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, goodwill
is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present. Goodwill
and intangibles are not deductible for tax purposes.
b.
Goodwill represents expected synergies from the merger of operations
and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Cerberus and VelocIT are both cybersecurity service providers. The
acquisition of VelocIT provided Cerberus potential sales synergies resulting from Cerberus’ access to VelocIT’s current client-base
to offer additional services. These items will be assigned a fair value upon the completion of the third-party valuation and are not
expected to change significantly.

All

to be recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities.
On
January 1, 2021, February 1, 2021, and August 12, 2021, the Company recognized additional ROU assets and lease liabilities of
$ 37,932 ,
$ 137,826 and
154,767 ,
respectively. The Company elected to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities arising from office leases with initial terms of
twelve months or less (deemed immaterial) on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
ROU
assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum
lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate
the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
When
measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Company discounted lease payments using its estimated
incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2021. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 6 % . As of September 30, 2021,
the Company’s leases had a remaining weighted average term of 1.15 years.

reasonable data derived from and known about our business and operations. No assurances are made that actual results of operations or
the results of our future activities will not differ materially from our assumptions.

Corporate
History
Cerberus
Cyber Sentinel Corporation (“Cerberus Sentinel”) was formed on March 5, 2019 as a Delaware corporation. Our principal offices
are located at 6900 E. Camelback Road, Suite 240, Scottsdale, AZ 85251.
Effective

a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Techville Acquisition”). Under the terms of the Techville Acquisition, all
issued and outstanding common stock of Techville was exchanged for an aggregate of 3,392,271 shares of our common stock.
Effective

a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Clear Skies Acquisition”). Under the terms of the Clear Skies Acquisition,
all issued and outstanding equity securities in Clear Skies were exchanged for an aggregate of 2,330,000 shares of our common stock.

Our
Business
The
cyber security industry has a supply and demand issue; there is more demand for cyber security services than expert and seasoned compliance
and cybersecurity professionals available in the market. We are a cybersecurity and compliance company comprised of highly trained and
seasoned security professionals who work with clients to enhance or create a better cyber posture in their organization. We seek to identify,
attract, and retain highly skilled cyber and compliance teams and bring them together to provide holistic cyber services. This is accomplished
through acquisitions, direct hiring and incentivizing employees with stock options to help retain them. On an ongoing basis, we seek
to identify cyber talent that is culturally aligned and that offers operating leverage through both existing customer revenue and relationships.
We have invested in enterprise solutions and executive talent to integrate our different organizations into an ecosystem that works together
to provide complete and holistic cybersecurity through cross pollination of solutions. The ecosystem is intended to provide additional
revenue opportunities and drive overall recurring revenue.
We
emphasize to clients the critical nature of having their work force create a continuously aware security culture. Once engaged, we strive
to become the trusted advisors for customers’ cybersecurity and compliance needs by providing tailored security solutions based
upon their organizational needs. We do not focus on the selling of cybersecurity products; we are product agnostic so that we can provide
solutions that fit customers’ security needs, financial realities, and future strategy. Our approach is to evaluate clients’
organizations holistically, identify compliance requirements, and help secure the infrastructure while helping to create a culture of
security.
We
provide a full range of cybersecurity services, encompassing all pillars of cybersecurity, compliance, and culture, including Secured
Managed Services, Compliance Services, SOC Services, Virtual CISO (vCISO) Services, Incident Response, Certified 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 developed our unique offering of MCCP+, which is the only holistic solution that provides all three of these
pillars under one roof 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 accumulating highly-sought
after topic experts. We continually identify and acquire cyber security 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 agnostic solutions to our clients in
a business environment that has suffered from a chronic lack of highly-skilled professionals, 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
(ROI) from information technology and cybersecurity spending. Our brand rallies around the battle cry: “Cybersecurity is a Culture,
not a Product.”

Offering
this set of cybersecurity services allows us to capture more revenue with greater efficiency, facilitating greater profitability and
stronger customer retention. The benefit to our customers is that they receive an efficient engagement from a single provider that covers
a wide range of their needs. This means their challenges are addressed more thoroughly and problems are resolved more rapidly when compared
to working with multiple vendors. This leads to the best possible outcome which enables them to commit to us for the long term.
We
believe that our business model is differentiated from other companies in the industry in that our employees are not consultants; they’re
dedicated partners available on a recurring monthly contract. Due to the numerous challenges in hiring experienced cybersecurity and
compliance professionals, we believe that assimilating our team of industry and subject matter experts into our clients’ teams
is the ideal solution.
We
are technology agnostic. Whereas, most cybersecurity firms are locked into working with a single technology, we seek to differentiate
ourselves by remaining technology agnostic. This approach enables us to work with any business, no matter what systems or tools they
use. For our customers the benefit is equally valuable; they’re able to choose the best tools and technology for their business
needs without affecting their relationship with us.
We
believe that building a world-class technology team with industry-specific and subject-matter expertise is the key to providing cutting-edge
solutions to our clients. We aim to continue to identify and acquire cybersecurity talent to expand our scope of services and geographical
footprint to fortify our capability to deliver excellence to our customers. Furthermore, our commitment is that we will stay a step ahead
of threat actors and regulatory obligations to keep our customers safe and compliant.
Our
Service Offering
We
currently offer two major types of services to clients including Security Managed Services and Professional Services.
25
Security
Managed Services
Our
Security Managed Services deliver an end-to-end solution to cybersecurity and compliance needs. We begin with a gap analysis of our customers’
existing cybersecurity and compliance practices. Next, we perform penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and a best practices assessment.
This culminates with a deliverable report outlining failures and risks and includes a remediation roadmap organized based on highest-value
opportunities and critical necessities. This prioritized approach utilizes the maxi-min strategy to optimize our customers’ budget;
something that comes from decades of experiential wisdom. Using this roadmap, our team performs remediation and change implementation
throughout a customer’s business. This is followed by our culture program that delivers cybersecurity and compliance awareness
training, risk reporting, and periodic knowledge verification. We cover every area of our customers’ businesses and engage with
every member of their team. This is our end-to-end holistic approach that we believe leaves no stone unturned to ensure our customers
are truly safe, secure, and compliant.
We
offer multiple services in the Security Managed Services portfolio including the following:
●
Compliance: Our compliance practice ensures the customers are implementing the right controls, properly prioritizing risks, and
investing in the appropriate remediation, so our customers can achieve compliance, adhere to industry standards and guidelines, and
manage continuous monitoring over time. We provide the combination of integrated processes and systems, experienced staff, and
innovative technology to help our customers meet those goals. Our seasoned experts possess the stringent industry certifications and
accreditations that prove they understand security compliance regulations, frameworks, and controls. Our deep knowledge of these
rigorous and unique requirements means we can offer a thorough, timely assessment that will identify residual risk within the
customer’s information system. We then propose mitigation strategies to manage the customer’s risk effectively. As an
authorized FedRAMP vendor ourselves, we bring an insider’s perspective to the process in the following standards:

Secured Managed Services: Cybersecurity companies who may excel at pointing out vulnerabilities or configuration issues, we have experts
with the capability to resolve fix them. Our team has extensive experience in remediating security issues in a holistic fashion, to quickly
effect change at organization scale. We know our customers’ teams are busy enough as is, so we offload the burden of addressing
the dozens or hundreds of remediation items that may come from a security review, penetration test, or incident response project. Our
remediation services resolve vulnerabilities that may expose risk to, or have caused, unwanted conditions or outcomes. Examples of issues
that Cerberus Sentinel remediate include writing new or more effective policies, rearchitecting computer networks to minimize attack
surface, implementing high security password requirements and multi-factor authentication, applying missing security patches that expose
an organization to security attack, or correcting misconfigurations that can lead to unauthorized access such as a user being granted
overly broad permissions. Our remediation services provide customers with a mature methodology for the heavy lifting needed to ensure
that implementing solutions to minimize security risk are done safely, efficiently, and correctly the first time.
● SOC Managed Services: We offer SOC-as-a-service, which is a subscription-based service that manages and monitors
client’s’ logs, devices, clouds, network, and assets for possible cyber threats. This lets our service provide the
clients with the knowledge and skills necessary to combat cybersecurity threats.
●
vCISO Service: Corporations are in need of cybersecurity services but many do not have the capital resources or knowledge base to hire
a Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”). We offer this service to companies on an ongoing managed service basis as
a resource to augment their management team. vCISO includes road mapping the future state for the client and providing our knowledgeable
expertise to help them achieve their security needs.
Professional
Services
Our
advisory services include a wide array of tailored solutions for organizations of all sizes. Our in-depth and uniquely acquired industry
expertise allows us to act as a trusted advisor of our clients to help them lower their risk profile, minimize cost impact to organizations
and meet regulatory compliance demands. We specialize in:
●
Incident Response and Forensics: This is where we focus on identification, investigation, and remediation of cyberattacks.
●
Technical Assessments: We specialize in advanced cyber security assessments that highlight the skills and experience of our team’s
top-tier talent. Our customers benefit from our routine identification of issues based on our emphasis on real-world manual testing techniques
and custom exploit development to uncover new avenues of attack. We believe that our approach to penetration testing services strikes
the perfect equilibrium between cost, time and results. Our team of highly skilled testers utilize the same tools and techniques a malicious
cybercriminal would use to try to gain unauthorized access to highly-guarded corporate systems and data to evaluate technical controls
and quantify business risks in a meaningful way. This level of analysis provides business leaders the knowledge required to not only
understand the impact a successful attack might have on their business operations, but also can validate the effectiveness of existing
security controls and justify additional security related investment.
Training:
This targets the root cause for 75% of cyber breach events by starting with a culture of security-first forward thinking. Our security
awareness training can prevent a catastrophic cyberattack before it even occurs by equipping users with the tools and techniques required
to spot a potential cyberattack in the early stages.
27
●
Other Cybersecurity Services:
○
Cybersecurity Road Mapping: Bringing the culture of cybersecurity to client’s leadership team and penetrating throughout the
organization is a critical first step of building any successful cybersecurity system. Through our consulting service, we dive into
both the cultural and technical aspects of cybersecurity within the organization, providing meaningful recommendations to improve
cybersecurity posture immediately. We help our clients build effective policies and best practices, design or enhance a
cybersecurity system and train the executive management team to foster a top-down culture of cybersecurity in order to facilitate
diligent implementation of cybersecurity awareness.
○
Gap and Risk Assessment: Threat actors probe and exploit the weakest points in an organization, it doesn’t matter if a business
has done 100 things right when one mistake can be catastrophic. Cerberus Sentinel combines decades of security expertise and in-depth
knowledge of how cyberattackers operate to deliver a thorough security risk gap analysis that identifies real world threats and issues
guidance for protection. We first familiarize ourselves with the customer’s environment, business model, operations, and business
drivers to best determine a customer’s cybersecurity posture in an ever evolving threat landscape. We then use our advanced threat
intelligence, data breach experience, and analytics to accurately assess the customers unique cybersecurity risk based on their “as
is” state. We then operate with a holistic mindset, considering every link in the cybersecurity chain from people, processes, and
technology, to determine their ideal “to be” state, aligned with their business goals, compliance requirements, and risk
tolerance. Finally, we collaboratively devise and develop a strategic cybersecurity plan that takes into account critical priorities
to effectively reduce cybersecurity risk by closing the gap between their “as is” and “to be” states. This comprehensive
awareness of internal systems and policies provides our customers with a clear understanding of their overall risk as well as the strategies
and tools they need to protect their most valuable assets: their data and brand reputation.

acquisition. Net cash provided by investing activities of $254,180 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was due to cash acquired
in the Techville and Clear Skies Acquisitions.
Financing
Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $1,182,685, which was primarily due to cash received
from the sale of the Company’s common stock of $3,250,000 and offset by the payment of loans of approximately $2,000,000.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $1,443,158 and was due to cash received
from the sale of the Company’s common stock of $790,000 and proceeds from PPP loans of $709,600.
Liquidity
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as
a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and satisfying liabilities in the normal course of business. At September 30,
2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $11,013,000 and working capital surplus of approximately $646,000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had a loss from operations of approximately $6,920,000 and negative
cash flows from operations of approximately $4,312,000. Although the Company is showing positive revenues and gross profit trends, the
Company expects to incur further losses through the end of 2021.
32
To
date the Company has been funding operations primarily through the sale of equity in private placements and revenues generated by the
Company’s services. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company received $3,250,000 from private placements of the
Company’s common stock.
Based
on its current cash resources and commitments, the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development and corresponding
level of expenditure for at least twelve months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements,
although no assurance can be given that it will not need additional funds prior to such time.
Effects
of Inflation
We
do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the periods presented.
Significant
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
significant 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, 2021 and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021.
Fair
Value Measurement
The
fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement
that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in the valuation of an asset or liability. It establishes
a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest
priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority
to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance
are described below:
Level
1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
Level
2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the
full term of the asset or liability; or
Level
3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported
by little or no market activity).
Business
Combination
The
Company allocates 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. The Company includes the results
of operations of the business that it has acquired in its consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition.
33
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.
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 least annually at year end, at the reporting unit level 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 discounted cash flow approaches.
Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The discounted cash flow approach
uses expected future operating results. 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.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company’s agreements with its clients are primarily service contracts that range in duration from a few months to one year. The
Company recognizes 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 the Company is 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;
●
the
Company can identify each party’s rights regarding the distinct services to be transferred (“performance obligations”);
●
the
Company can determine the transaction price for the services to be transferred; and
●
the
contract has commercial substance, and it is probable that the Company 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 its contracts, the Company receives non-refundable upfront payments. The Company does not adjust the promised amount
of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since the Company expects, 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. The Company’s credit terms to clients generally average thirty days, although in some cases payments
are required in 15 days.
The
Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with original expected duration of one year
or less.

Practical
Expedients
As
part of ASC 606, the Company has adopted several practical expedients including the following: (i) the Company has determined that it
need not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since the Company expects,
at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised service to the customer and when the customer pays
for that service will be one year or less and (ii) the Company recognizes any incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense
when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.
Reimbursed
Expenses
The
Company includes reimbursed expenses in revenues and costs of revenue as the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise
to provide the specified service, including the integration of the related services into a combined output to the client, which are inseparable
from the integrated service. These costs include such items as consumables, transportation and travel expenses, over which the Company
has discretion in establishing prices.
35
Costs
of Revenue
Costs
of revenue include (i) compensation and benefits for billable employees and consultants directly involved with delivering services offerings
and engagements; (ii) consumables used for the services; and (iii) other expenses directly related to service contracts such as professional
services, meals and travel expenses.
Volatility
in Stock-Based Compensation
The
volatility is based on historical volatilities of companies in comparable stages as well as the historical volatility of companies in
the industry and, by statistical analysis of the daily share-pricing model. The volatility of stock-based compensation at any point in
time is based on historical volatility of similar companies in the industry for the last two to five years.
New
and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Any
new and recently adopted accounting pronouncements are more fully described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements herein for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that
is material to stockholders.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not
Applicable. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
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 Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure 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 our
principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls
and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible
disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under
all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
36
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 and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness(es) in internal control over financial reporting disclosed in
our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
Our
management 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 is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements
or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During
the quarter ended September 30, 2021, our additional finance and accounting staff that we hired in the first quarter of this year continued
to positively impact our segregation of duties. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we established an audit
committee.
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, 2021, other than those noted above, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings

are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results
of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency,
self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries,
threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’
