NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER
30, 2020
NOTE
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
AMERI
Holdings, Inc. (“AMERI”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) is a company that, through
the operations of its eleven subsidiaries, provides SAP TM cloud and digital enterprise services to clients worldwide.
Headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, we typically go to market both vertically by industry and horizontally by product/technology
specialties and provide our customers with a wide range of business and technology offerings. We work with customers, primarily
within North America, to improve process, reduce costs and increase revenue through the judicious use of technology. The Company
earns almost all of its revenue from North America. The Company takes the position that all of its businesses operate as a single
segment.
On
January 10, 2020, we and Ameri100 Inc. (“Buyer”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”)
pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, the Company will sell
to Buyer and Buyer will purchase from the Company one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding equity interests (the “Purchased
Shares”) of Ameri100 Holdco, Inc. (“Holdco”) (the “Spin-Off”).
On
January 10, 2020, the Company entered into an Amalgamation Agreement (as amended on May 6, 2020, the “Amalgamation Agreement”)
with Jay Pharma Merger Sub, Inc., a company organized under the laws of Canada and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger
Sub”), Jay Pharma Inc., a company organized under the laws of Canada (“Jay Pharma”), Jay Pharma ExchangeCo.,
Inc. a company organized under the laws of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“ExchangeCo”),
and Barry Kostiner, as the Company Representative, which provides that, among other things, Merger Sub and Jay Pharma will be
amalgamated and will continue as one corporation (“Amalco”), with Amalco continuing as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary
of ExchangeCo and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameri, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Amalgamation Agreement.
On August 12, 2020, the Company, Jay Pharma and certain other signatories thereto entered into a tender agreement (as may be amended
from time to time, the “Tender Agreement”), which provides that, among other things, Ameri will make a tender offer
(such offer, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time as permitted under the Tender Agreement, the “Offer”)
to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Jay Pharma for the number of shares of Resulting Issuer common stock equal
to the exchange ratio set forth in the Tender Agreement, and Jay Pharma will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameri, on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Tender Agreement. The Tender Agreement terminates and replaces in its entirety the Amalgamation
Agreement.
Liquidity
and Going Concern
The
Company has incurred net losses from operations since inception. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was
$4.6 million and the accumulated deficit was $45.1 million as of September 30, 2020. The Company’s ongoing losses have had
a significant negative impact on the Company’s financial position and liquidity. The Company has also been historically
reliant on loans from related parties, loans from third parties and sales of equity securities to fund operations, working capital
and complete acquisitions. To increase revenues, our operating expenses are likely to continue to grow and, as a result, we will
need to generate significant additional revenues to cover such expenses. We expect our primary sources of cash to be customer
collections and external financing. We also continue to work on cost reductions, and we have initiated steps to reduce our overhead
to improve cash savings. We may raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities or borrowings from financial
institutions or third parties or a combination of the foregoing. Capital raised will be used to implement our business plan, grow
current operations, make acquisitions or start new vertical businesses among some of the possible uses.
One
of the Company’s largest customers has terminated the majority of its work as a result of COVID-19. This customer has accounted
in the past for annual revenues of between $5 to $7 million dollars. The impact on this quarter is a reduction of approximately
$1.5 million in revenue.
As
a result of funding from the Small Business Association as well as sales of securities, the Company believes it has adequate
cash reserves to cover expected working capital needs over the next 12 months.
Our
financial statements as of September 30, 2020 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional funding through the issuance of equity
or debt securities, as well as to attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to generate additional revenues. Our
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Although the Company
believes in the viability of management’s strategy to generate sufficient revenue, control costs and the ability to raise
additional funds if necessary, there can be no assurances to that effect. The foregoing conditions raise substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Certain information and disclosure notes normally included in annual financial statements prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to those
rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which were of a normal, recurring
nature) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and
cash flows as of and for the interim periods presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our
comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) plus or minus any periodic currency translation adjustments.
The
results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period. The following
information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit
Losses on Financial Instruments” . This ASU requires that credit losses be reported using an expected losses model rather
than the incurred losses model that is currently used, and establishes additional disclosures related to credit risks. For available-for-sale
debt securities with unrealized losses, this standard now requires allowances to be recorded instead of reducing the amortized
cost of the investment. ASU 2016-13 limits the amount of credit losses to be recognized for available-for-sale debt securities
to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair value and requires the reversal of previously recognized credit losses if fair
value increases. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted,
and requires adoption using a modified retrospective approach, with certain exceptions. Based on the composition of the Company’s
investment portfolio as of December 31, 2019, current market conditions and historical credit loss activity, the adoption of this
standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Additionally, for
trade receivables, due to their short duration and the credit profile of the Company’s customers, the effect of transitioning
from the incurred losses model to the expected losses model is not expected to be material.
In
June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic718):
Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting . Under the new standard, companies will no longer be required to
value non-employee awards differently from employee awards. Companies will value all equity classified awards at their grant-date
under ASC 718 and forgo revaluing the award after the grant date. ASU 2018-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, but no
earlier than the Company’s adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (as described above
under “ Revenue Recognition ”). The Company adopted the new standard during the year ended December 31, 2019
and the adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement
(Topic 820), Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” . This ASU
removed the following disclosure requirements: (1) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy; (2) the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and (3) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair
value measurements. Additionally, this update added the following disclosure requirements:
(1)
the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income and loss for recurring Level
3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; (2) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable
inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative
information (such as the median or arithmetic average) in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative
information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop
Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU No. 2018-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early
adoption permitted.

January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. Under this new standard, goodwill
impairment would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed
the carrying value of goodwill. This ASU eliminates existing guidance that requires an entity to determine goodwill impairment
by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by hypothetically assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its
assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. This update is effective for annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for interim or
annual goodwill impairment test performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Based on the Company’s preliminary assessment
of the foregoing update, it does not anticipate such update will have a material impact its financial statements.
Standards
Implemented
In
May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ,” which supersedes
the revenue recognition requirements in “ Revenue Recognition (Topic 605).” This ASU requires an entity to recognize
revenue when goods are transferred, or services are provided to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which
the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires disclosures enabling users
of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts
with customers.
In
August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , deferral of the Effective
Date.” With the issuance of ASU 2015-14, the new revenue guidance ASU 2014-09 will be effective for annual periods, and
interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, using one of two prescribed retrospective methods.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606), Identifying Performance
Obligations and Licensing .” The guidance is applicable from the date of applicability of ASU 2014-09. This ASU finalizes
the amendments to the guidance on the new revenue standard on the identification of performance obligations and accounting for
licenses of intellectual property. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements
(Topic 606)” which is applicable from the date of applicability of ASU 2014-09. This guidance provides optional exemptions
from the disclosure requirement for remaining performance obligations for specific situations in which an entity need not estimate
variable consideration to recognize revenue. In May 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and
Practical Expedients”. This amendment clarified certain aspects of Topic 606 and will be applicable from the date of
applicability of ASU 2014-09. The Company has implemented the above standard.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “ Leases” (Topic 842) which amended guidance for lease arrangements
to increase transparency and comparability by providing additional information to users of financial statements regarding an entity’s
leasing activities. Subsequent to the issuance of Topic 842, the FASB clarified the guidance through several ASUs; hereinafter
the collection of lease guidance is referred to as ASC 842. The revised guidance seeks to achieve this objective by requiring
reporting entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for substantially all lease arrangements.
8
Table of Contents
On
January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach and analyzed the lease for a right of use
(“ROU”) asset and liability to be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet related to the operating lease for its
office space. Results for the year ended December 31, 2019 are presented under ASC 842, while prior period amounts were not adjusted
and continue to be reported in accordance with the legacy accounting guidance under ASC Topic 840, Leases .
As
part of the adoption the Company elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard,
which among other things, allowed the Company to:
1.
Not
separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease
components associated with that lease component as a single lease component.
2.
Not
to apply the recognition requirements in ASC 842 to short-term leases.
3.
Not
record a right of use asset or right of use liability for leases with an asset or liability balance that would be considered
immaterial. Refer to Note 15 of our consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures required by ASC 842.
In
May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “ Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting,”
which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to
apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This standard is required to be adopted in the first quarter of 2018. The Company
adopted the standard during the year ended December 31, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated
financial statements and disclosures.
In
July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, “ Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic
480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement
of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception” . Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting
for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments
(or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current
accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible
instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part
II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence
of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite
deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain
mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This
ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted
the new standard during the year ended December 31, 2019 and the adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements and related disclosures.
In
June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic718):
Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting . Under the new standard, companies will no longer be required to
value non-employee awards differently from employee awards. Companies will value all equity classified awards at their grant-date
under ASC 718 and forgo revaluing the award after the grant date. ASU 2018-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, but no
earlier than the Company’s adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (as described above
under “ Revenue Recognition ”). The Company adopted the new standard during the year ended December 31, 2019
and the adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recent
issued accounting pronouncements
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives
and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts
in an Entity’s Own Equity . The amendments in Update No. 2020-06 simplify the complexity associated with applying U.S.
GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. More specifically, the amendments focus
on the guidance for convertible instruments and derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. Update
No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of determining the effect that the adoption will have on its financial
position and results of operations.
In
March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “ Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference
Rate Reform on Financial Reporting .” ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions to account for contracts,
hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate if certain criteria are met. The amendments
of ASU No. 2020-04 are effective immediately, as of March 12, 2020, and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications
made and hedging relationships entered into on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact that the amendments
of this standard would have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
In
December 2019, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes (ASU 2019-12, “ Income
Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ”). This guidance eliminates certain exceptions to the
general approach to the income tax accounting model and adds new guidance to reduce the complexity in accounting for income
taxes. This guidance is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods.
The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Management
has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”)
through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued,
but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material impact on the financial statements of the
Company.
Subsequent
Events. The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date for potential
recognition or disclosure. Any material events that occur between the balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements
were issued are disclosed as subsequent events, while the financial statements are adjusted to reflect any conditions that existed
at the balance sheet date.

4. REVENUE RECOGNITION:
In
May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue
recognition requirements under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition , and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry
Topics of the ASC. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange
for those goods or services. The new guidance will significantly enhance comparability of revenue recognition practices across
entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. Additionally, the guidance requires improved disclosures as to the nature,
amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers (Topic 606)—Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients . This update clarifies the objectives
of collectability, sales and other taxes, noncash consideration, contract modifications at transition, completed contracts at
transition and technical correction. The amendments in this update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09. In September 2017, the
FASB issued additional amendments providing clarification and implementation guidance.
11
Table of Contents
The
Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method which would require a cumulative effect
adjustment for initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings and the
comparative information would not require to be restated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect
for those periods.
The
adoption of ASC 606 represents a change in accounting principle that will more closely align revenue recognition with the delivery
of the Company’s services and will provide financial statement readers with enhanced disclosures. We recognize revenues
as we transfer control of deliverables (products, solutions and services) to our customers in an amount reflecting the consideration
to which we expect to be entitled.
To
achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:
1)
Identify
the contract with a customer
A
contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s
rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract
has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that
are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies
judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the
customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining
to the customer.
2)
Identify
the performance obligations in the contract
Performance
obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both
capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources
that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the
transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple
promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct
in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance
obligation.
3)
Determine
the transaction price
The
transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring
services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount
of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most
likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction
price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract
will not occur. None of the Company’s contracts as of December 31, 2019 contained a significant financing component.
4)
Allocate
the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
If
the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation.
However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract
with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or
to a specific part of the contract. For example, a bonus or penalty may be associated with one or more, but not all, distinct
services promised in a series of distinct services that forms part of a single performance obligation. Contracts that contain
multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative
standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance
obligation or to a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling
price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable
through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as
market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.
5)
Recognize
revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The
Company satisfies performance obligations either over time or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related
performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised service to a customer.

Table of Contents
For
performance obligations where control is transferred over time, revenues are recognized based on the extent of progress towards
completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment
and is based on the nature of the deliverables to be provided.
Revenues
related to fixed-price contracts for application development and systems integration services, consulting or other technology
services are recognized as the service is performed using the cost to cost method, under which the total value of revenues is
recognized on the basis of the percentage that each contract’s total labor cost to date bears to the total expected labor
costs. Revenues related to fixed-price application maintenance, testing and business process services are recognized based on
our right to invoice for services performed for contracts in which the invoicing is representative of the value being delivered.
If our invoicing is not consistent with value delivered, revenues are recognized as the service is performed based on the cost
to cost method described above. The cost to cost method requires estimation of future costs, which is updated as the project progresses
to reflect the latest available information; such estimates and changes in estimates involve the use of judgment. The cumulative
impact of any revision in estimates is reflected in the financial reporting period in which the change in estimate becomes known
and any anticipated losses on contracts are recognized immediately.
Revenues
related to our time-and-materials, transaction-based or volume-based contracts are recognized over the period the services are
provided either using an output method such as labor hours, or a method that is otherwise consistent with the way in which value
is delivered to the customer.
Revenues
also include the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.
We
may enter into arrangements that consist of multiple performance obligations. Such arrangements may include any combination of
our deliverables. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised deliverables, we apply judgment to determine whether promised
deliverables are capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the
promised deliverables are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. For arrangements with multiple distinct performance
obligations, we allocate consideration among the performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price. Standalone
selling price is the price at which we would sell a promised good or service separately to the customer. When not directly observable,
we typically estimate standalone selling price by using the expected cost plus a margin approach. We typically establish a standalone
selling price range for our deliverables, which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change.
We
assess the timing of the transfer of goods or services to the customer as compared to the timing of payments to determine whether
a significant financing component exists. As a practical expedient, we do not assess the existence of a significant financing
component when the difference between payment and transfer of deliverables is a year or less. If the difference in timing arises
for reasons other than the provision of finance to either the customer or us, no financing component is deemed to exist. The primary
purpose of our invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing our services, not to
receive or provide financing from or to customers. We do not consider set up or transition fees paid upfront by our customers
to represent a financing component, as such fees are required to encourage customer commitment to the project and protect us from
early termination of the contract.
Prior
to the adoption of the New Revenue Standard on January 1, 2018, revenues were earned and recognized when all of the following
criteria were met: evidence of an arrangement existed, the price was fixed or determinable, the services had been rendered and
collectability was reasonably assured. Contingent or incentive revenues were recognized when the contingency was satisfied and
we concluded the amounts were earned. Volume discounts were recorded as a reduction of revenues as services were provided. Revenues
also included the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, sales to five major customers accounted for approximately 54%
and 52% of our total revenue, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, five of our customers contributed 23%,10%,9%,7%
and 6% of our revenue.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, sales to five major customers accounted for approximately 47%
of our total revenue, respectively.
NOTE
5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
The
Company’s intangible assets primarily consists of the customer lists it acquired through various acquisitions. We amortize
our intangible assets that have finite lives using either the straight-line method or based on estimated future cash flows to
approximate the pattern in which the economic benefit of the asset will be utilized. Amortization expense was $1.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. This amortization expense relates to customer lists which expire
through 2022.
NOTE
6. GOODWILL:
Goodwill
represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations.
The total value of the Company’s goodwill was $13.7 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
As
per Company policy, goodwill impairment tests are conducted on an annual basis and any impairment is reflected in the Company’s
Statements of Operations.

NOTE
7. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE:
Basic
income (loss) per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. When applicable,
diluted income (loss) per share is calculated using two approaches. The first approach, the treasury stock method, reflects the
potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options, warrants, restricted stock units and outstanding shares to be
awarded to satisfy contingent consideration for the business combinations (collectively, the “Equity Awards”) were
exercised and issued. The second approach, the if converted method, reflects the potential dilution of the Equity Awards, the
8% Convertible Unsecured Promissory Notes (the “2017 Notes”) described in Note 10 being exchanged for common stock.
Under this method, interest expense, net of tax, if any, associated with the 2017 Notes, up through redemption, is added back
to net income attributable to common stockholders and the shares outstanding are increased by the underlying 2017 Notes are considered
to be issued.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, no shares related to the issuance of common stock upon exercise of the Equity
Awards or the exchange of the 2017 Notes for common stock were considered in the calculation of diluted loss per share, as the
effect would be anti-dilutive due to net losses attributable to common stockholders for both periods.
A
reconciliation of net loss attributable to common stockholders and weighted average shares used in computing basic and diluted
net loss per share is as follows:

9. BANK DEBT:
On
January 23, 2019, certain subsidiaries of the Company, including Ameri100 Arizona LLC, Ameri100 Georgia, Inc., Ameri100 California,
Inc. and Ameri and Partners, Inc., as borrowers (individually and collectively, “Borrower”) entered into a Loan and
Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) for a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with North Mill
Capital LLC, as lender (the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement has an initial term of two years from the closing date,
with renewal thereafter if Lender, at its option, agrees in writing to extend the term for additional one year periods (the “Term”).
The Loan Agreement is collateralized by a first-priority security interest in all of the assets of Borrower. In addition, (i)
pursuant to a Corporate Guaranty entered into by the Company in favor of the Lender (the “Corporate Guaranty”), the
Company has guaranteed the Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Facility and (ii) pursuant to a Security Agreement entered
into between the Company and Lender (the “Security Agreement”), the Company granted a first-priority security interest
in all of its assets to Lender.
The
Borrowers received an initial advance on January 23, 2019 in an amount of approximately $2.85 million (the “Initial Advance”).
Borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest at the prime rate (as designated by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association)
plus one and three quarters percentage points (1.75%), but in no event shall the interest rate be less than seven and one-quarter
percent (7.25%). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, the minimum monthly interest payable
by Borrower on the Advances (as defined in the Loan Agreement) in any month shall be calculated based on an average Daily Balance
(as defined in the Loan Agreement) of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for such month. For the first year of the Term, Borrower
shall pay to Lender a facility fee equal to $50,000, due in equal monthly installments, with additional facility fees due to Lender
in the event borrowings exceed certain thresholds and with additional facility fees due and payable in later years or upon later
milestones. In addition, Borrower shall pay to Lender a monthly fee (the “Servicing Fee”) in an amount equal to one-eighth
percent (.125%) of the average Daily Balance (as defined in the Loan Agreement) during each month on or before the first day of
each calendar month during the Term.
Borrower
also agreed to certain negative covenants in the Loan Agreement, including that they will not, without the prior written consent
of Lender, enter into any extraordinary transactions, dispose of assets, merge, acquire, or consolidate with or into any other
business organization or restructure.
As
of September 30, 2020, the principal balance and accrued interest under the Credit Facility amounted to $3.1 million.
NOTE
10. CONVERTIBLE NOTES:
On
November 25, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor for the sale of a $1,000,000
convertible debenture (the “First Debenture”).
The
First Debenture accrued interest at rate of 5% and was due six (6) months from the issue date. The First Debenture was convertible
at any time after the issue date into shares of Company’s Common Stock at a price equal to $2.725.
On
January 14, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (with the same institutional investor for the sale
of a $500,000 convertible debenture (the “Second Debenture” and collectively with the First Debenture, the “Debentures”).
The
Second Debenture accrued interest at rate of 5% and was due on the same date as the First Debenture. The Second Debenture was
convertible at any time after the issue date into shares of Company’s Common Stock at a price equal to $2.725.
15
Table of Contents
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the holders of First Debenture and Second Debenture exercised their rights for conversion
into common shares for which the company issued 550,458 common shares. After the conversion, there are no First Debentures or
Second Debentures outstanding.
On
June 3, 2020 Ameri entered into an Exchange Agreement with Alpha Capital Ansalt (“Alpha”), the holder of certain
8% unsecured convertible notes, which notes were originally issued on or about March 7, 2017 (the “2017 Prior Notes”).
Pursuant to such Exchange Agreement, Alpha agreed to exchange the 2017 Prior Notes for a new convertible 1% debenture (the “June
Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2,265,342.46, which June Debenture is convertible into shares of common
stock of Ameri at a conversion price of $1.75 per share. The June Debenture is due on December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2020,
828,572 shares of common stock have been issued upon conversions of the June Debenture.
On
September 15, 2020, Ameri entered into separate Exchange Agreements with the holders of certain 7.25% secured convertible notes,
including Alpha, which notes were originally issued on or about February 24, 2020 (the “2020 Prior Notes”). Pursuant
to such Exchange Agreements, the holders agreed to exchange the 2020 Prior Notes for new convertible 7.25% debentures (the “September
Debentures” and collectively with the June Debenture, the “Convertible Debentures”) in the aggregate principal
amount of $1,002,979 which September Debentures are convertible into shares of Ameri common stock at a conversion price of $1.11
per share. The principal amount of the September Debentures is equal to the principal amount of the 2020 Prior Notes and the accrued
interest thereon. The September Debentures are due on the earlier of (i) the effective date of the Offer or (ii) October 31, 2020.
As of September 30, 2020, no shares of common stock have been issued upon conversions of the September Debentures.
NOTE
11. LEASES:
The
Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent the right
to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from
the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease
payments over the lease term.
The
Company’s principal facility is located in Alpharetta, Georgia. The Company also leases office space in various locations
with expiration dates between 2016 and 2020. In January 2020, the Company entered into a lease agreement for its Dallas office
with expiration date 2027. The lease agreements often include leasehold improvement incentives, escalating lease payments, renewal
provisions and other provisions which require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, maintenance costs, or defined rent increases.
Rent expense is recorded over the lease terms on a straight-line basis. Rent expense was $0.2 million and $0.25 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.
The
Company utilized a portfolio approach in determining the discount rate. The portfolio approach takes into consideration the range
of the term, the range of the lease payments, the category of the underlying asset and the Company’s estimated incremental
borrowing rate, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of
lease payments. The Company also considered its recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with
similar characteristics when calculating the incremental borrowing rates.
The
lease terms include options to extend the leases when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. These
operating leases contain renewal options for periods ranging from three to five years that expire at various dates with no residual
value guarantees. Future obligations relating to the exercise of renewal options is included in the measurement if, based on the
judgment of management, the renewal option is reasonably certain to be exercised. Factors in determining whether an option is
reasonably certain of exercise include, but are not limited to, the value of leasehold improvements, the value of the renewal
rate compared to market rates, and the presence of factors that would cause a significant economic penalty to the Company if the
option is not exercised. Management reasonably plans to exercise all options, and as such, all renewal options are included in
the measurement of the right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities.
Leases
with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, per the election of the practical expedient noted above.
The
Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company recognizes variable
lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Variable lease payments that depend on an
index or a rate are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date, otherwise variable lease payments are
recognized in the period incurred. Rent expense was $0.2 million and $0.25 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020
and September 30, 2019, respectively. The components of lease expense were as follows:

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT:
We
utilize the following valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy
prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
●
Level
1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
●
Level
2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial
instrument; and
●
Level
3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.
A
financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based upon the lowest level input that
is significant to the fair value measurement.
The
fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using a discounted cash flow technique with significant inputs that are
not observable in the market. The significant inputs not supported by market activity included our probability assessments of
expected future cash flows related to the acquisitions during the earn-out period, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties
associated with the obligation, and calculated in accordance with the respective terms of the share purchase agreements.
No
financial instruments were transferred into or out of Level 3 classification during the period ended September 30, 2020 and year
ended December 31, 2019.

17. REVISION OF PRIOR YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company’s corrections of the financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and the year then ended were a result of the adoption
of FASB ASU 2016-02 “Leases” (Topic 842) and the implementation of the guidance for a lease that was executed

2. MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated
financial statements (and notes thereto) included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Special Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere herein.
We
use the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “AMERI” and “the Company” in this
report to refer to AMERI Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Company
History
We
were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in February 1994 as Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc., which was
a shell company immediately prior to our completion of a “reverse merger” transaction on May 26, 2015, in which we
caused Ameri100 Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our newly created, wholly owned subsidiary, to be merged with and
into Ameri and Partners Inc (“Ameri and Partners”), a Delaware corporation (the “Merger”). On May 26,
2015, we completed the Merger, in which we caused Ameri100 Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our newly created, wholly
owned subsidiary, to be merged with and into Ameri and Partners (doing business as Ameri100), a Delaware corporation. As a result
of the Merger, Ameri and Partners became our wholly owned operating subsidiary. The Merger was consummated under Delaware law,
pursuant to an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of May 26, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”),
and in connection with the Merger we changed our name to AMERI Holdings, Inc. We are headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia.
On
January 10, 2020, we entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with respect to the Spin-Off and the Amalgamation Agreement with
respect to the Amalgamation. There is no assurance when or if the amalgamation will be completed. Any delay in completing the
amalgamation may substantially reduce the intended benefits that Ameri and Jay Pharma expect to obtain from the amalgamation.
Completion
of the amalgamation and spin-off is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions as set forth in the Amalgamation
Agreement and spin-off agreements, including the approval by Ameri’s stockholders and Jay Pharma’s shareholders, approval
by NASDAQ of Ameri’s application for the listing of common stock in connection with the amalgamation, and other customary
closing conditions. There can be no assurance that Ameri and Jay Pharma will be able to satisfy the closing conditions or that
closing conditions of the amalgamation or spin-off beyond their control will be satisfied or waived. If such conditions are not
satisfied or waived, the amalgamation and spin-off may not occur or will be delayed, and Ameri and Jay Pharma each may lose some
or all of the intended benefits of the amalgamation. In addition, if the Amalgamation Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances,
Ameri or Jay Pharma may be required to pay a termination fee of $500,000. Moreover, each of Ameri and Jay Pharma has incurred
and expect to continue to incur significant expenses related to the amalgamation, such as legal and accounting fees, some of which
must be paid even if the amalgamation is not completed.
Overview
We
specialize in delivering SAP cloud, digital and enterprise services to clients worldwide. Our SAP focus allows us to provide technological
solutions to a broad and growing base of clients. Our model inverts the conventional global delivery model wherein offshore IT
service providers are based abroad and maintain a minimal presence in the United States. With a strong SAP focus, our client partnerships
anchor around SAP cloud and digital services. We pursue an acquisition strategy that seeks to disrupt the established business
model of offshore IT service providers.
We
generate revenue by providing consulting services under written service contracts with our customers. The service contracts we
enter into generally fall into two categories: (1) time-and-materials contracts and (2) fixed-price contracts.
When
a customer enters into a time-and-materials or fixed-price (or a periodic retainer-based) contract, the revenue is recognized
in accordance with the deliverables of each contract. If the deliverables involve separate units of accounting, the consideration
from the arrangement is measured and allocated to the separate units, based on vendor specific objective evidence of the value
for each deliverable.
20
Table of Contents
The
revenue under time and materials contracts is recognized as services are rendered and performed at contractually agreed upon rates.
Revenue pursuant to fixed-price contracts is recognized under the proportional performance method of accounting. We routinely
evaluate whether revenue and profitability should be recognized in the current period. We estimate the proportional performance
on fixed-price contracts on a monthly basis utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete
the project.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, sales to five major customers accounted for 54% and 52% of our
total revenue, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, two of our customers have contributed 23% and 10%
of our revenue. For the comparable period in 2019, one of our customers contributed 13% of our revenue.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, sales to five major customers accounted for 47% and 48% of our
total revenue, respectively. Two of our customers contributed 20% and 10% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
2020. For the comparable period in 2019, Two of our customers contributed 19% and 10% of our revenue.
We
continue to explore strategic alternatives to improve the market position and profitability of our product and service offerings
in the marketplace, generate additional liquidity for the Company, and enhance our valuation. We expect to pursue our goals during
the next twelve months through organic growth and through other strategic alternatives. Some of these alternatives have included,
and could continue to include, selective acquisitions. The Company has obtained financing and additional capital from the sale
of equity and incurrence of indebtedness in the past, and continues to consider capital raising and financing from the sale of
various types of equity and incurrence of indebtedness to provide capital for our business plans and operations in the future.
Business
Update Regarding COVID-19
During
the first quarter of 2020, the spread of a new strain of coronavirus and the disease created by that virus, COVID-19, has created
a global pandemic presenting substantial public health and economic challenges around the world. The global pandemic is affecting
our employees, communities and business operations, as well as the global economy and financial markets. The full extent to which
the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend
on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge
concerning COVID-19, the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national
and international markets.
The
disclosure in the remainder of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(MD&A) is qualified by the disclosure in this section on the impacts of COVID-19 and, to the extent that the disclosure in
the remainder of this MD&A refers to a financial or performance metric that has been affected by a trend or activity, that
reference is in addition to any impact discussed in this section of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The effect of the COVID-19
pandemic is rapidly evolving and, as such, the information contained herein is accurate as of the date hereof, but may become
outdated due to changing circumstances beyond our present awareness or control.
The
Company has Implemented work from home policies and procedures for all of its employees and consultants in the USA and India.
These policies and procedures will remain in place until such time that the local regulatory authorities in each of our locations
approves the return to normal business operations. At this time, none of our employees’ health has been impacted by COVID-19.
No
clients have gone out of business or filed for bankruptcy, and although there has been a reduction in staffing, no active clients
have completely ceased using our services as a result of COVID-19. As a direct result of COVID-19 we had significant consultant
roll-offs from one of the top US airlines that has been one of our top five revenue clients over the last several years. We expect
a portion of that business to come back when the US airline business recovers. Additionally, we have seen minor consultant roll-offs
from other clients related to COVID-19. One of the Company’s largest customers has terminated the majority of its work as
a result of COVID-19. This customer has accounted in the past for annual revenues of between $5 to $7 million dollars. The impact
on this quarter is a reduction of approximately $1.5 million in revenue. We have had no projects cancelled due to COVID-19 although
we have had some new projects put on hold. We have also had clients notify us they will be slow to pay our bills and have some
reduced billable hours per week until the economy reopens further. We are at the beginning stages of rebuilding our sales pipeline
for a post-COVID economy.

In
addition to client initiatives, the Company has invested in continued development of its internal technology expertise and business
process efficiency. We have initiated the internal implementation of a Professional Services Automation suite that we hope will
significantly streamline our business operations.
There
is a continued near-term expectation of negative cashflow as a result of high Selling, General and Administrative expenses and
significant expenses associated with building solutions, sales and resource recruiting capabilities. Also, SAP has pushed out
its deadline for mandatory migration to S/4HANA past 2025, which is expected to have a near-term negative impact on the expansion
of the solutions business. Due to the foregoing and COVID-19 Pandemic, it is expected that our business will fall short of our
2020 revenue goals.

Revenues
Revenues
for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $0.7 million, or 7%, as compared to the three months ended September
30, 2019 mainly due to loss of revenue from existing customers due to COVID-19.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, sales to five major customers accounted for 54% and 52% of our
total revenue, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, two of our customers have contributed 23% and 10%
of our revenue. For the comparable period in 2019, one of our customers contributed 13% of our revenue. We derived most of our
revenues from our customers located in North America for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019.

Table of Contents
One
of the Company’s largest customers has terminated the majority of its work as a result of COVID-19. This customer has accounted
in the past for annual revenues of between $5 to $7 million dollars. The impact on this quarter is a reduction of approximately
$1.5 million in revenue.
Revenues
for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $4.5 million, or 15%, as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 2019 mainly due to loss of revenue from existing customers due to COVID-19.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, sales to five major customers accounted for 47% and 48% of our
total revenue, respectively. Two of our customers contributed 20% and 10% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
2020. For the comparable period in 2019, two of our customers contributed 19% and 10% of our revenue. We derived most of our revenues
from our customers located in North America for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019.
We
are expecting a decrease in revenue from existing clients of approximately $3.5 million, as compared to full year revenue of 2019,
during the next 12 months due to COVID-19.
Gross
Margin
Our
gross margin was 22% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 21% for the comparable period in 2019.
Our
gross margin was 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and for the comparable period in 2019.
Our
target gross margins in future periods are anticipated to be in the range of 20% to 25% based on a mix of project revenues and
professional service revenues. However, there is no assurance that we will achieve such anticipated gross margins.
Selling,
General and Administration Expenses
Selling,
general and administration (“SG&A”) expenses include all costs, including rent costs, which are not directly associated
with revenue-generating activities, as well as the non-cash expense for stock-based compensation. These include employee costs,
corporate costs and facilities costs. Employee costs include administrative salaries and related employee benefits, travel, recruiting
and training costs. Corporate costs include reorganization costs, legal, accounting and outside consulting fees. Facilities costs
primarily include rent and communications costs.
SG&A
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $2.4 million, as compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2019.
SG&A
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $7.8 million, as compared to $9.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019.
Depreciation
and Amortization
Depreciation
and amortization expense amounted to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and three months ended September
30, 2019 and $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $1.7 million for nine months ended September 30, 2019.
We capitalized the customer lists acquired during various acquisitions, resulting in increased amortization costs. The customer
lists from each acquisition are amortized over a period of 60 months.
Operating
Income (Loss)
Our
operating loss was $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $1.6 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2019.
Our
operating loss was $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $4.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2019.
We
expect the COVID-19 pandemic to negatively impact our operations for the remainder of the fiscal year and for the next twelve
months. One of the Company’s largest customers has terminated the majority of its work as a result of COVID-19. This customer
has accounted in the past for annual revenues of between $5 to $7 million dollars. The impact on this quarter is a reduction of
approximately $1.5 million in revenue.

Interest
Expense
Our
interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $(0.1) million as compared to $0.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2019.
Our
interest expense for nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $0.4 million as compared to $0.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
cash position was approximately $2.8 million as of September 30, 2020, as compared to $0.4 million as of December 31, 2019.
Cash
used for operating activities was $3.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and was primarily a result of net
changes in working capital requirements. Cash used in investing activities was $0.04 million during the nine months ended September
30, 2020. Cash provided by financing activities by loans and rights issue was $6.3 million during the nine months ended September
30, 2020.
Liquidity
Concerns
As
of September 30, 2020, we had negative working capital of $2.7 million and cash of $2.8 million. Our principal sources
of cash have included bank borrowings, the private placement of shares and net bank borrowings. To increase revenues, our operating
expenses are likely to continue to grow and, as a result, we will need to generate significant additional revenues to cover such
expenses.
Our
financial statements as of September 30, 2020 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional funding through the issuance of equity
or debt securities, as well as to attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to generate additional revenues. Our
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Although the Company
believes in the viability of management’s strategy to generate sufficient revenue, control costs and the ability to raise
additional funds if necessary, there can be no assurances to that effect. The foregoing conditions raise substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern.
Available
Credit Facility, Borrowings and Repayment of Debt
As
of September 30, 2020, we had approximately $3.1 million in borrowings outstanding under our senior secured credit facility (the
“Credit Facility”), which provided for up to $8 million in principal for revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”)
for general working capital purposes.
In
addition, we have an outstanding aggregate of $815,342.46 million in 1% convertible unsecured debentures (the “1% Debentures”),
which were issued to one of accredited investors. The 1% Debentures bear interest at 1% per annum and are convertible at $1.75
per share.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable for the period ended September 30, 2020 were $7.6 million as compared to $6.4 million as on December 31, 2019 the increase
was mainly due to delay in payment by our customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Accounts
Payable
Accounts
payable for the period ended September 30, 2020 were $4.6 million as compared to $4.7 million as on December 31, 2019. The increase
in Accounts payable is due to delay in payments to our vendors.
Accrued
Expense
Accrued
expenses for the period ended September 30, 2020 were $1.9 million as compared to $2.1 million as on December 31, 2019. These
expenses reflect obligations associated with work that has been performed but not yet billed, and will be paid in the 4 th
quarter. It is a rotational liability associated with the gap in timing between work performed and invoices paid.
Operating
Activities
Our
largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from our customers. Our primary uses of cash for operating activities
are for personnel-related expenditures, leased facilities and taxes.

Impact
of Inflation
We

we attempt to minimize any effects of inflation on our operating results by controlling operating costs and, whenever possible,
seeking to ensure that billing rates reflect increases in costs due to inflation.
For
all significant foreign operations, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations
are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each period end. Statements of Operations accounts are translated at the exchange
rate prevailing as of the date of the transaction. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are reported under accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of equity. Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions
are included in other income, net for the periods presented.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements

Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Revenue
Recognition. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . ASU 2014-09
supersedes the revenue recognition requirements under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition , and most industry-specific guidance
throughout the Industry Topics of the ASC. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict
the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects
to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Under the new guidance, an entity is required to perform the following
five steps: (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. The new guidance will significantly enhance comparability of revenue
recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. Additionally, the guidance requires improved
disclosures as to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)— Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients . This
update clarifies the objectives of collectability, sales and other taxes, noncash consideration, contract modifications at transition,
completed contracts at transition and technical correction. The amendments in this update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09.
In September 2017, the FASB issued additional amendments providing clarification and implementation guidance.
The
Company adopted this guidance and related amendments as of the first quarter of fiscal 2018, applying the full retrospective transition
method. As the underlying principles of the new standard, relating to the measurement of revenue and the timing of recognition,
are closely aligned with the Company’s current business model and practices, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a
material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In addition, the adoption of ASC 606 did not impact the previously reported
financial statements in any prior period nor did it result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.
We
recognize revenues as we transfer control of deliverables (products, solutions and services) to our customers in an amount reflecting
the consideration to which we expect to be entitled. To recognize revenues, we apply the following five step approach: (1) identify
the contract 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 revenues when a performance obligation
is satisfied. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from all parties, the rights of the parties are identified,
payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. We apply
judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay based on a variety of factors including the customer’s
historical payment experience.
For
performance obligations where control is transferred over time, revenues are recognized based on the extent of progress towards
completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment
and is based on the nature of the deliverables to be provided.
25
Table of Contents
Revenues
related to fixed-price contracts for application development and systems integration services, consulting or other technology
services are recognized as the service is performed using the cost to cost method, under which the total value of revenues is
recognized on the basis of the percentage that each contract’s total labor cost to date bears to the total expected labor
costs. Revenues related to fixed-price application maintenance, testing and business process services are recognized based on
our right to invoice for services performed for contracts in which the invoicing is representative of the value being delivered.
If our invoicing is not consistent with value delivered, revenues are recognized as the service is performed based on the cost
to cost method described above. The cost to cost method requires estimation of future costs, which is updated as the project progresses
to reflect the latest available information; such estimates and changes in estimates involve the use of judgment. The cumulative
impact of any revision in estimates is reflected in the financial reporting period in which the change in estimate becomes known
and any anticipated losses on contracts are recognized immediately.
Revenues
related to our time-and-materials, transaction-based or volume-based contracts are recognized over the period the services are
provided either using an output method such as labor hours, or a method that is otherwise consistent with the way in which value
is delivered to the customer.
Revenues
also include the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.
We
may enter into arrangements that consist of multiple performance obligations. Such arrangements may include any combination of
our deliverables. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised deliverables, we apply judgment to determine whether promised
deliverables are capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the
promised deliverables are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. For arrangements with multiple distinct performance
obligations, we allocate consideration among the performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price. Standalone
selling price is the price at which we would sell a promised good or service separately to the customer. When not directly observable,
we typically estimate standalone selling price by using the expected cost plus a margin approach. We typically establish a standalone
selling price range for our deliverables, which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change.
We
assess the timing of the transfer of goods or services to the customer as compared to the timing of payments to determine whether
a significant financing component exists. As a practical expedient, we do not assess the existence of a significant financing
component when the difference between payment and transfer of deliverables is a year or less. If the difference in timing arises
for reasons other than the provision of finance to either the customer or us, no financing component is deemed to exist. The primary
purpose of our invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing our services, not to
receive or provide financing from or to customers. We do not consider set up or transition fees paid upfront by our customers
to represent a financing component, as such fees are required to encourage customer commitment to the project and protect us from
early termination of the contract.
Prior
to the adoption of the New Revenue Standard on January 1, 2018, revenues were earned and recognized when all of the following
criteria were met: evidence of an arrangement existed, the price was fixed or determinable, the services had been rendered and
collectability was reasonably assured. Contingent or incentive revenues were recognized when the contingency was satisfied and
we concluded the amounts were earned. Volume discounts were recorded as a reduction of revenues as services were provided. Revenues
also included the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, sales to five major customers accounted for 47% and 48% of our
total revenue, respectively. Two of our customers contributed 20% and 10% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
2020. For the comparable period in 2019, Two of our customers contributed 19% and 10% of our revenue.
Stock-Based
Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense for awards of equity instruments to employees and non-employee directors
is determined based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. We recognize these compensation costs net of an estimated forfeiture
rate over the requisite service period of the award. Forfeitures are estimated on the date of grant and revised if actual or expected
forfeiture activity differs materially from original estimates.
Warrant
Liability. The Company accounts for the warrants issued in July 2018 in accordance with the guidance on Accounting for
Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, which provides that the Company classifies
the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This
liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized
in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of warrants issued by the Company in connection with private placements
of securities has been estimated using the warrants quoted market price.
Impairment.
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment, and certain other assets to be held and used by us, are
reviewed when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable based
on estimated future cash flows. If this assessment indicates that the carrying values will not be recoverable, as determined based
on undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful lives, an impairment loss is recognized based on the fair value of the asset.
26
Table of Contents
Income
Taxes. We provide for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method of accounting. Under this method, deferred
income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities
and their financial reporting amounts at each balance sheet date, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable
to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. If it is determined that it is more likely than
not that future tax benefits associated with a deferred income tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is provided.
The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date. Tax benefits earned on employee stock awards in excess of recorded stock-based compensation expense
are credited to additional paid-in capital. Our provision for income taxes also includes the impact of provisions established
for uncertain income tax positions, as well as the related interest.
Accounts
Receivable. We extend credit to clients based upon management’s assessment of their credit-worthiness on an unsecured
basis. We provide an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on historical experience and management evaluation of trend analysis.
We include any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in allowance for doubtful accounts.
Business
Combination. We account for business combinations using the acquisition method, which requires the identification of the
acquirer, the determination of the acquisition date and the allocation of the purchase price paid by the acquirer to the identifiable
tangible and intangible assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, including any contingent consideration and any non-controlling
interest in the acquiree at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of net assets acquired, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. Identifiable intangible assets
with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the periods in which the costs
are incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in our consolidated financial statements from the
acquisition date.
Goodwill
and Purchased Intangibles. We evaluate goodwill and purchased intangible assets for impairment at least annually, or as
circumstances warrant. Goodwill is evaluated at the reporting unit level by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with
its carrying amount. For purchased intangible assets, if our annual qualitative assessment indicates possible impairment, we test
the assets for impairment by comparing the fair value of such assets to their carrying value. In determining the fair value, we
utilize various estimates and assumptions, including discount rates and projections of future cash flows. If an impairment is
indicated, a write down to the implied fair value of goodwill or fair value of intangible asset is recorded.
Valuation
of Contingent Earn-out Consideration. Acquisitions may include contingent consideration payments based on the achievement
of certain future financial performance measures of the acquired company. Contingent consideration is required to be recognized
at fair value as of the acquisition date. We estimate the fair value of these liabilities based on financial projections of the
acquired companies and estimated probabilities of achievement. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, however,
there is significant judgment involved. We evaluate, on a routine, periodic basis, the estimated fair value of the contingent
consideration and changes in estimated fair value, subsequent to the initial fair value estimate at the time of the acquisition,
will be reflected in income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration
obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue and/or earnings
estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria. Any
changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration may have a material impact on our operating results.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The
Company translates the foreign currency financial statements into U.S. Dollars using the year or reporting period end or average
exchange rates in accordance with the requirements of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Assets and liabilities are translated
at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect for the periods
presented. The cumulative translation adjustment is included in the accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) within stockholders’
equity (deficit).

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures,
no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and
our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore,
even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation
and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As
required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Company’s
management, including our Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our
company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our company’s disclosure controls and
procedures are improving in terms of effectiveness as of the end of the period covered by this report as noted below in management’s
report on internal control over financial reporting. In the past, there were effectiveness issues largely due to the fact that
we were acquiring privately held companies as a part of our growth strategy and our control procedures over all acquired subsidiaries
were largely manual in nature. However we have deployed all of our business on a consolidated professional services automation
platform in the quarter concluding 30-Sep-2020. We are working to improve and harmonize our financial reporting controls and procedures
across all of our companies. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during
the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls
over financial reporting.
Disclosure
controls and procedures and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls
and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls
and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect
the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the
inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of September 30, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining
records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; providing reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with authorizations
of management and our directors; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets
that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result of
this assessment, our management concluded that, as of September 30, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was not
yet effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This is largely due to the fact
that we previously acquired multiple privately held companies as part of our growth strategy and our control procedures over all
acquired subsidiaries will not be effective until such time as we are able to fully integrate the acquisition with our company
and set processes and procedures for the acquired entities. We are working to improve and harmonize our financial reporting controls
and procedures across all of our companies.

This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include an attestation report of our independent auditors regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent auditors pursuant to temporary
rules of the SEC that permit our company to provide only management’s report in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Inherent
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Internal
control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals
for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale
of organization and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process, which involves human diligence
and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial
reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations
are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though
not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with
respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation
that occurred during the third quarter ended in 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION

1. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
We
are not currently a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor is our property the subject of a pending legal proceeding, that
is not in the ordinary course of business or otherwise material to the financial condition of our business.
ITEM
1A. RISK
FACTORS
Our
business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be impacted by a number of factors, many of which are
beyond our control, including those set forth in our Form 10-K, the occurrence of any one of which could have a material adverse
effect on our actual results.
There
have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K, except as noted below.
Our
results of operations could in the future be materially adversely affected by the global coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).
The
global coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has created significant volatility in the price of our common stock, uncertainty in customer
demand for our services, and widespread economic disruption. The extent to which the coronavirus pandemic will impact our business,
operations and financial results will depend on numerous factors that are frequently changing or unknown, and that we may not
be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’
responses or planned responses to the pandemic; the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and any interventions intended
to mitigate decreased economic activity; the effect on our customers and customer demand for our products, services, and solutions;
our ability to sell and provide our products, services, and solutions, including as a result of travel restrictions, personnel
working from home or with diminished technology and communication abilities, and social distancing; the ability of our customers
to pay timely, if at all, for our services and solutions with or without discounts requested by our customers; and closures of
our and our customers’ offices and facilities. The closure of our customers’ facilities, restrictions that prevent
our customers from accessing those facilities or their own customers, and broad disruptions in our customers’ markets and
customer base, has disrupted, and could in the future disrupt the demand for our products, services, and solutions and result
in, among other things, termination of customer contracts, delays or interruptions in the performance of contracts, losses of
revenues, and an increase in bad debts. Customers may also slow or halt decision making, delay planned work, or suspend, terminate,
or reduce existing contracts or services. Indeed, one of the Company’s largest customers has terminated the majority of
its work as a result of COVID-19. This customer has accounted in the past for annual revenues of between $5 to $7 million dollars.
The impact on this quarter is a reduction of approximately $1.5 million in revenue. Travel and immigration restrictions may delay
or prevent our personnel from accessing worksites, and work-from-home or remote working arrangements could reduce profitability
or increase information security and connectivity vulnerabilities. In addition, when COVID-19-related restrictions on business
are eased, our ability to deliver services to our customers could be affected by any outbreak of illness among employees returning
to our facilities or to our customers’ facilities. Moreover, there may be additional costs that we will have to incur in
connection with further changes to, or a return to, normal operating conditions. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely
affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the
risk factors included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, including, but not limited to, those
relating to our operations in emerging markets, our ability to execute on our growth strategy through strategic acquisitions,
our dependency on third parties for network infrastructure, attracting, hiring, and retaining personnel, the effects on movements
in foreign currency exchange rates, and the effects that changes to fiscal, political, regulatory and other federal policies may
have on our operations, each of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations
and/or stock price.
