1A. RISK FACTORS
There
are numerous and varied risks that may prevent us from achieving our goals, including those described below. You should carefully
consider the risks described below and the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated
financial statements and related notes. Our business, financial condition, and or results of operations, could be harmed by any
of the following risks. If any of the events or circumstances described below were to occur, our business, the financial condition
and the results of operations could be materially adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of Company Common Stock could
decline, and investors could lose part or all of their investment. The risks below are not the only risks we face. Additional
risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business, financial condition
or results of operations.
An
investment in our common stock should be considered high risk .
An
investment in RLBY should be considered high risk and requires a long-term commitment, with no certainty of return.
Impact
of COVID-19 Pandemic
In
December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. In January 2020, this coronavirus
spread to other countries, including the United States, and efforts to contain the spread of this coronavirus intensified. The
outbreak and any preventative or protective actions that governments or we may take in respect of this coronavirus may result
in a period of business disruption, reduced customer traffic and reduced operations.
We
have maintained our focus on the health and safety of our employees, contractors, customers, and suppliers, working with each
stakeholder on precautions to keep everyone safe from the virus. We have worked closely with our clients whom we contract staffing
to implement health and safety protocols and develop plans for safely reestablishing or continuing operations during this pandemic.
The
demand for staffing services has been and will be significantly affected by general economic conditions. Uncertainties related
to the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic have had and are expected to have an adverse impact on the staffing industry and the
Company’s ability to forecast its financial performance. As such, any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated
at this time but may materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The extent to which the coronavirus
impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information
which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus, rollout of vaccines, and federal, state and local government and
client actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. Our executive management team continues to track
COVID-19 news and developments, including the deployment of vaccines.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR COMPANY
Disputes between Reliability and the Vivos
Group have put our growth plans on hold as Reliability cannot tap the public markets for capital.

On June 5, 2020, Reliability commenced an
arbitration seeking to address purported merger violations before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”)
in New York, New York, as permitted by the Merger Agreement against Mr. Doki; Mrs. Valleru; Mrs. Janumpally (individually and
in her capacity as trustee of Judos Trust); Mr. Pathuri (individually in his capacity as trustee of Igly Trust) and Federal Systems
(the “Respondents”).as The Respondents filed a counterclaim, but changed their mind, refused to pay the AAA’s
fee, and ultimately refused to participate in the arbitration. Thereafter, Reliability petitioned the state court in New York
to compel arbitration, but this action was removed to federal court, where it has been pending for several months awaiting
court action. The Company is seeking damages which if granted will likely be the remedy set forth within the merger agreement
which is primarily the relinquishment in whole or in part shares of Company Common Stock received by the Respondents in connection
with the Merger.
12
The Vivos Group will likely continue
to control virtually all matters submitted to shareholders for a vote; may elect all of our directors upon the end of the term
of the current directors; and, as a result, may control our management, policies, and operations. Our other shareholders will
not have voting control over our actions, including the determination of other industries and markets that we may enter and the
entities we acquire, which may be affiliated with Vivos. The various actions taken by the Company against the Vivos Group
are motivated by ensuring that either Vivos no longer controls the vote of the shareholders or, in the alternative, that no
Vivos Group votes or actions can harm the Company or the minority shareholders. No assurance can be given that the Company
will be successful in these actions, however on December 23, 2020 at a hearing in the Maryland District Court, a
motion by Vivos to compel a shareholder meeting was summarily dismissed. The judge agreed that permitting Vivos Group to
vote their shares at a meeting of shareholders could materially harm the interests of the Company as a whole, its employees and
minority shareholders. This judge will be presiding over a full trial on the merits shortly. While our dispute with Vivos continues,
we will be unable to execute our busines plan. The Company’s business plan contemplates issuing additional shares of Common
Stock to raise capital and to use as currency for our acquisition growth strategy. Presently, the Company does not have any authorized
shares that are not issued. No shares are expected to become available to the Company until this matter is resolved. The Company
will suffer a material adverse effect if the Company continues to have no shares of Common Stock available for issuance.
Related
Party Indebtedness; Default.
Prior to the Merger, shareholders of Vivos,
(“Vivos Debtors”) directly and through affiliated entities, borrowed amounts from Maslow (the “Related
Party Debt”) that reached an aggregate outstanding balance (including principal and interest) as of December 31, 2019 of
approximately $4,169. The Related Party Debt is evidenced by several promissory notes and a personal guaranty of Mr. Naveen
Doki, also a Majority Shareholder. The Related Party Debt is currently in default and as of December 31, 2020 had a balance of
$4,258. In February 2020, Maslow brought an action in the District Court of Montgomery County, Maryland, to enforce the promissory
notes and guaranty. Failure of the Company to recover the Related Party Debt could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The case is currently pending with a trial date set to begin on October 4, 2021, barring any delays that more likely would be
the result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In
addition, prior to the Merger, some of the Vivos Group incurred obligations at a number of other businesses they own and
caused Maslow to become obligated thereon as co-obligor or guarantor, and pledged assets of Maslow to secure certain of these
obligations. During the five months prior to the consummation of the Merger, Maslow paid approximately $450 in satisfaction of
these obligations. Maslow continues to be a contingent obligor on certain of these debts. If the direct obligors fail to satisfy
these debts, the creditors may bring action against Maslow, which, if determined adversely, could have a material adverse effect
on the Company.
The
existence of these obligations could significantly affect our liquidity, as well as our ability to obtain loans in the future.
Certain members of Vivos Group entered into that certain Agreement for the Contingent Liquidation of the Common Stock of
Maslow Media Group, Inc., dated as of October 28, 2019 (the “Liquidation Agreement”), pursuant to which those Vivos
Group thereto pledged their shares of Company Common Stock to be sold or granted to the applicable creditors in satisfaction
of the debts owed to the creditors and terminate any guarantees, liens and obligations affecting Maslow. The sale of the shares
subject to the Liquidation Agreement could adversely impact the value of the Common Stock. In addition, the value of the shares
of Company Common Stock may be insufficient to pay off all outstanding obligations. The Company may have to resort to the courts
to enforce the terms of the Liquidation Agreement, and the sale of these shares may need to be registered under applicable securities
laws, which would distract management and increase expenses.
13
The
Company could be subject to unknown liabilities incurred by its previous sole shareholder, Vivos Holdings LLC .
Maslow was previously a wholly owned subsidiary
of Vivos Holdings, LLC (“Vivos Holdings”). Vivos is owned and controlled by the seven parties that we are currently
in dispute. Vivos Holdings had caused Maslow to be a guarantor or direct obligor for loans, advances, or other liabilities
for the benefit of Vivos related entities other than Maslow. These obligations were often incurred by Vivos Holdings on
behalf of Maslow without the knowledge of Maslow’s senior management. There may be additional obligations of other Vivos
Group entities for which Maslow may have liability as a result of these arrangements that are not known to the management
of Maslow. These liabilities could have a material adverse effect on the Company and the value of the Common Stock. Reliability
runs periodic lien checks, the latest as late as January 2021 and have not seen any new uncommunicated pre-existing liabilities.
The
success of our business depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified employees that possess the skills demanded by clients
and intense competition may limit the ability to attract and retain such qualified employees .
For
the Company’s staffing, executive recruiting, and video production services, the success of the Company depends on the ability
to attract and retain qualified employees who possess the skills and experience necessary to meet the requirements of clients
or to successfully bid for new client projects. The ability to attract and retain qualified employees could be impaired by improvement
in economic conditions resulting in lower unemployment, increases in compensation, or increased competition. During periods of
economic growth, the Company faces increasing competition from other staffing companies for retaining and recruiting qualified
temporary and permanent employees, which in turn leads to greater advertising and recruiting costs and increased salary expenses.
These problems can be exacerbated by the fact that the Company often must attract and retain employees with skills specific to
the video production industry, which narrows the pool of available, qualified employees that the Company may draw upon. If the
Company cannot attract and retain qualified temporary and permanent employees, the quality of its services may deteriorate and
the financial condition, business, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
Our
success depends to a large degree on growth in market acceptance of human resources outsourcing and related services we provide .
Because
the majority of our revenues currently comes from EOR services, a large portion of our success depends on the willingness of clients
to outsource their human resources (“HR”) function to a third-party service provider. Many companies have invested
substantial personnel, infrastructure and financial resources in their own internal HR organizations and therefore may be reluctant
to switch to our solution. Companies may not engage us for other reasons, including a desire to maintain control over all aspects
of their HR activities, a belief that they manage their HR activities more effectively using their internal administrative organizations,
perceptions about the expenses associated with our services, perceptions about whether our services comply with laws and regulations
applicable to them or their businesses, or other considerations that may not always be evident. Additional concerns or considerations
may also emerge in the future. We must address our potential clients’ concerns and explain the benefits of our approach
in order to convince them to change the way that they manage their HR activities, particularly in parts of the United States where
our Company and solution are less well-known. If we are not successful in addressing potential clients’ concerns and convincing
companies that our solution can fulfill their HR needs, then the market for our solution may not develop as we anticipate thus
our business may not grow.
Any
significant or prolonged economic downturn could result in clients using fewer staffing and executive recruiting services offered
by the Company, terminating their relationship with the Company, or becoming unable to pay for services on a timely basis, or
at all.
Because
demand for the types of services our Company offers is sensitive to changes in the level of economic activity, the Company’s
business has in the past and may in the future suffer during economic downturns. Demand for the services we provide are highly
correlated to changes in the level of economic activity and employment. Consequently, as economic activity begins to slow down,
it has been the Company’s experience that companies tend to reduce their use of our services, resulting in decreased revenues
and profit levels. In addition, the Company may experience pricing pressure during economic downturns which could have a negative
impact on the results of operations. Further, many of our clients are corporate media departments and broadcast networks. As a
result, any industry downturn that affects these kinds of companies could have a major effect on our business.
14
The
deterioration of the financial condition and business prospects of clients could reduce their need for the staffing and executive
recruiting services we provide and could result in a significant decrease in the Company’s revenues and earnings derived
from these clients. In addition, during economic downturns, companies may slow the rate at which they pay their vendors, seek
more flexible payment terms or become unable to pay their debts as they become due.
State
unemployment insurance expense is a direct cost of doing business in the staffing industry. State unemployment tax rates are established
based on a company’s specific experience rate of unemployment claims and a state’s required funding formula on covered
payroll. Economic downturns have in the past, and may in the future, result in a higher occurrence of unemployment claims resulting
in higher state unemployment tax rates. This would result in higher direct costs to us. In addition, many state unemployment funds
have been depleted during the recent economic downturn and many states have borrowed from the federal government under the Title
XII loan program. Employers in all states receive a credit against their federal unemployment tax liability if the employer’s
federal unemployment tax payments are current and the applicable participating state is also current with its Title XII loan program.
If a state fails to repay such loans within a specific time period, employers in such states may lose a portion of their tax credit.
The
Company is exposed to employment-related claims and costs as well as periodic litigation that could materially adversely affect
the Company’s financial condition, business, and results of operations .
Our
business often entails employing individuals and placing such individuals in our clients’ workplaces. The Company’s
ability to control the workplace environment of clients is limited. As the employer of record of these employees, the Company
incurs a risk of liability to its employees and clients for various workplace events, including:
●
claims
of misconduct or negligence on the part of employees;
●
discrimination
or harassment claims against employees, or claims by employees of discrimination or harassment by clients or the Company;
●
immigration-related
claims;
●
claims
relating to violations of wage, hour, and other workplace regulations;
●
claims
related to wrongful termination or denial of employment;
●
violation
of employment rights related to employment screening or privacy issues;
●
claims
relating to employee benefits, entitlements to employee benefits, or errors in the calculation or administration of such benefits;
and
●
possible
claims relating to misuse of clients’ confidential information, misappropriation of assets, or other similar claims.
The
Company may incur fines and other losses and negative publicity with respect to any of these situations. Some of the claims may
result in litigation, which is expensive and distracts attention from the operation of ongoing business.
The
Company assumes the obligation to make wage, tax, and regulatory payments for our employees, and, as a result, is exposed to client
credit risks.
The
Company generally assumes responsibility for and manages the risks associated with employees’ payroll obligations, including
liability for payment of salaries, wages, and certain taxes. These obligations are fixed, whether clients make payments as required
by service contracts with the Company, which exposes the Company to credit risks of clients. As a result of the broad economic
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our clients may be more likely to breach their payment obligations.
15
Workers’
compensation costs for employees may rise and reduce our margins and require more liquidity.
The
Company is responsible for, and pays, workers’ compensation costs for individuals employed by the Company – both regular
staff and client employees for which the Company is the employer of record. At times, these costs have risen substantially as
a result of increased claims and claim trends, general economic conditions, changes in business mix, increases in healthcare costs,
and government regulations. Although the Company carries insurance, unexpected changes in claim trends, including the severity
and frequency of claims, actuarial estimates, and medical cost inflation could result in costs that are significantly different
than initially reported. If future claims-related liabilities increase due to unforeseen circumstances, or if new laws, rules,
or regulations are passed, costs could increase significantly. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to increase
the fees charged to clients in a timely manner and in a sufficient amount to cover increased costs as a result of any changes
in claims-related liabilities.
We
currently depend on two customers for a material portion of our net revenue. The loss of or a substantial reduction in business
of either customer would significantly reduce our net revenue and adversely impact our operating results.
AT&T
(AT&T and DirectTV combined) and Janssen Pharmaceuticals (which includes workforce partners Johnson & Johnson) accounted
for approximately 49% and 38% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition,
AT&T comprised 49% of the accounts receivable balance in both December 31, 2020 and 2019. Janssen Pharmaceuticals comprised
of 18% and 19% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. No other client exceeded 10% of revenues.
The loss of, or a substantial reduction in business from, either of these customers would have a significant negative impact on
our business and our operating results. We may not be successful in finding a client or clients that could replace the loss of
either of these customers, and as such, it could have a negative impact on our revenue and results of operations for a prolonged
period.
Improper
disclosure of employee and client data could result in liability and harm to the reputation of the Company.
The
business of the Company involves the use, storage, and transmission of information about employees and clients. It is possible
that security controls over personal and other data and practices that the Company follows may not prevent the improper access
to, or disclosure of, personally identifiable or otherwise confidential information. Our security controls may be inadequate,
or hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with our data through different means, including
but not limited to malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks. Any event that results in a disclosure
of our clients’ and employees’ data could harm the reputation of the Company and subject the Company to liability
under contracts and the laws that protect personal data and confidential information, resulting in increased costs or loss of
revenue. Further, data privacy is subject to frequently changing rules and regulations, which sometimes conflict among the various
jurisdictions in which the Company provides services. The failure to adhere to or successfully implement processes in response
to changing regulatory requirements in this area could result in legal liability or impairment to the reputation of the Company
in the marketplace.
16
The
Company could face disruption and increased costs from outsourcing and offshoring various aspects of its business.
The
Company may outsource aspects of its business to lower cost of employment areas in the United States and potentially to places
such as India. This outsourcing solution would focus predominantly on shared service activities which traditionally consist of
back-office functions such as “hire to retire”, “procure to pay” and “order to cash”
processes. Although a goal of outsourcing our operations is to reduce the operational costs of our business, it is possible that
we will not realize any benefit from outsourcing such aspects of our business, or even increase our overhead expenses. A transition
may create risk of errors and omissions or technical disruptions that could negatively impact our clients, and in turn damage
our reputation resulting in a loss of customers of our business.
The
Company is obligated to pay certain fees and expenses .
The
Company will pay various fees and expenses related to its ongoing operations regardless of whether or not the Company’s
activities are profitable. These fees and expenses will require dependence on third-party relationships. The Company is generally
dependent on relationships with its strategic partners and vendors, and the Company may enter into similar agreements with future
potential strategic partners and alliances. The Company must be successful in securing and maintaining its third-party relationships
to be successful. There can be no assurance that such third parties may regard their relationship with the Company as important
to their own business and operations, that they will not reassess their commitment to the business at any time in the future,
or that they will not develop their own competitive services, either during their relationship with the Company or after their
relations with the Company expire. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company’s existing relationships or future
relationships will result in sustained business partnerships, successful service offerings, or significant revenues for the Company.
The
Company depends on its management team to manage its business effectively .
The
Company’s future success is dependent in large part upon its ability to understand, develop, and execute the business plan
and to attract and retain highly skilled management, operational and executive personnel. Thus, the Company is highly dependent
on its officers to provide the necessary skills, experience and background to execute the Company’s business plan. Additionally,
the employer of record business is a specialty service which requires a full understanding of the service and its merits to be
able to educate clients and potential clients to win business and operate optimally. The loss of any officer’s services
with this knowledge could stifle the Company’s growth for 4-9 months, and could impede, particularly initially as the Company
builds a record and reputation, its ability to develop and execute on its objectives, and as such would negatively impact the
Company’s possible overall development.
Government
regulation could negatively impact the business .
The
Company’s business is subject to various government regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Currently, the
Company has clients and places employees in all 50 U.S. states and in numerous foreign countries. Due to the wide scope of the
Company’s operations, the Company could be subject to regulation by various political and regulatory entities, including
various local and municipal agencies and government sub-divisions. The Company may incur increased costs necessary to comply with
existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply. The Company’s operations could be
adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its business or industry, such
as the imposition of additional licensing or tax requirements. Failure to comply with the legal regulations in places we do business,
or the regulatory prohibition or restriction of employment services, could lead to financial liability and regulatory action against
the Company, which could significantly harm our development as a business.
17
The
Company may face significant competition from companies that serve its industries .
The
Company may face competition from other companies that offer similar solutions. Some of these potential competitors may have longer
operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger client bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing
resources than the Company possesses. These advantages may enable such competitors to respond more quickly to new or emerging
trends and changes in customer preferences. These advantages may also allow them to engage in more extensive market research and
development, undertake extensive far-reaching marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and make more attractive
offers to potential customers, employees and strategic partners. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced
gross margin and loss of market share. The Company may not be able to compete successfully, and competitive pressures may adversely
affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.
The
staffing industry is highly competitive with low barriers to entry which could limit the Company’s ability to maintain or
increase our market share or profitability.
The
staffing services industry is highly competitive with limited barriers to entry. Although we specialize in EOR and providing staffing
services specifically for video production, where the market is not yet saturated by competitors, we still face significant competition
on a national, regional and a local scale with full-service and specialized temporary staffing companies. We expect that the level
of competition will remain high, which could limit our ability to maintain or increase our market share or profitability.
Several
of our existing or potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do, which
may enable them to:
●
Invest
in new technologies;
●
Be
more competitive in cash and price paid for acquisitions;
●
Devote
greater resources to marketing;
●
Aggressively
price products and services below market rates; and
●
Offer
better benefit packages that we may not be able to match.
The
Company is subject to the potential factors of market and customer changes, which could result in our inability to timely respond
to the needs of our clients.
The
business of the Company is susceptible to rapidly changing preferences of the marketplace and its customers. The needs of customers
are subject to constant change. Although the Company intends to continue to develop and improve its services to meet changing
customer needs of the marketplace, there can be no assurance that funds for such expenditures will be available or that the Company’s
competition will not develop similar or superior capabilities or that the Company will be successful in its internal efforts.
The future success of the Company will depend in part on its ability to respond effectively to rapidly changing trends, industry
standards and customer requirements by adapting and improving the features and functions of its services. In the Company’s
industry, failure by a business to adapt to the changing needs and demands of customers is likely to render the business obsolete.
Negative
publicity could adversely affect our business and operating results .
Negative
publicity about our industry or our Company, including the utility of our services, even if inaccurate, could adversely affect
our reputation and the confidence in, and the use of, our services, which could harm our business and operating results. Harm
to our reputation can arise from many sources, including poor performance or misconduct by the workers we supply and recruit for
our clients, misconduct by our partners, outsourced service providers or other counterparties, and failure by us to meet
minimum standards of service expected by clients in our industry.
18
The
Company has generated revenues, but limited profits, to date .
The
business model of the Company involves significant costs of services, resulting in a low gross and net margins on revenues. Coupling
this fact with the required operating expenses incurred by the Company, the Company has only generated approximately $1,500 in
total profits in any one year, and specifically $195 in 2019 and $386 in 2018. In 2020, with the Company taking on the added expense
of being a public company, additional expenses of approximately $900 for management compensation, administrative costs, insurance,
consulting, and legal fees for reporting and regulatory compliance, had the most impact on our incurring a net loss of $826. The
Company hopes and expects that as its business expands, it will enjoy economies of scale resulting in higher operating and net
margins and improved cash flows, but there is no guarantee this will occur.
The
Company may suffer from lack of availability of additional funds .
We
have ongoing needs for working capital in order to fund operations, pay costs associated with being a public company, and to continue
to expand our operations. To that end, we will be required to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. However,
there can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing additional capital on favorable terms, if at all. There is a
potential that we will continue to lack shares of Company Common Stock available for an equity financing. If additional debt is
incurred, the Company may fail to comply with the terms of such financing, which could result in significant liability for our
Company. If we are unsuccessful, we may need to (a) initiate cost reductions; (b) forego business development opportunities; (c)
seek extensions of time to fund liabilities, or (d) seek protection from creditors. In addition, any future sale of our equity
securities would dilute the ownership and control of your shares and could be at prices substantially below prices at which our
shares currently trade. Our inability to raise capital could require us to significantly curtail or terminate our operations.
Our plan is to increase our cash reserves through the sale of additional equity or debt securities. The sale of convertible debt
securities or additional equity securities could result in additional and potentially substantial dilution to our shareholders.
The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing
covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity. In addition, our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable
terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties.
In
addition, if we are unable to generate adequate cash from operations, and if we are unable to find sources of funding, it may
be necessary for us to sell all or a portion of our assets, enter into a business combination, or reduce or eliminate operations.
These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our shareholders or that
result in our shareholders losing all of their investment in our Company.
Our
acquisition strategy creates risks for our business .
We
expect that we will pursue acquisitions of other businesses, assets or technologies to grow our business. We may fail to identify
attractive acquisition candidates, or we may be unable to reach acceptable terms for future acquisitions. We might not be able
to raise enough cash to compete for attractive acquisition targets. If we are unable to complete acquisitions in the future, our
ability to grow our business at our anticipated rate will be impaired.
We
may pay for acquisitions by issuing additional shares of Common Stock, if such shares become available, which would dilute our
shareholders, or by issuing debt, which could include terms that restrict our ability to operate our business or pursue other
opportunities and subject us to meaningful debt service obligations. We may also use significant amounts of cash to complete acquisitions.
Most acquisitions will include “Earn Out” provisions which ensure adequate generation of revenue and profits, but
cash required to pay Earn Outs likely will exceed that total or incremental cash flow generated by the acquired business. To the
extent that we complete acquisitions in the future, we likely will incur future depreciation and amortization expenses associated
with the acquired assets. We may also record significant amounts of intangible assets, including goodwill, which could become
impaired in the future. Acquisitions involve numerous other risks, including:
●
difficulties
integrating the operations, technologies, services and personnel of the acquired companies;
●
challenges
maintaining our internal standards, controls, procedures and policies;
●
diversion
of management’s attention from other business concerns;
●
over-valuation
by us of acquired companies;
●
litigation
resulting from activities of the acquired company, including claims from terminated employees, customers, former shareholders
and other third parties;
19
●
insufficient
revenues to offset increased expenses associated with the acquisitions and unanticipated liabilities of the acquired companies;
●
insufficient
indemnification or security from the selling parties for legal liabilities that we may assume in connection with our acquisitions;
●
entering
markets in which we have no prior experience and may not succeed;
●
risks
associated with foreign acquisitions, such as communication and integration problems resulting from geographic dispersion
and language and cultural differences, compliance with foreign laws and regulations and general economic or political conditions
in other countries or regions;
●
potential
loss of key employees of the acquired companies; and
●
impairment
of relationships with clients and employees of the acquired companies or our clients and employees as a result of the integration
of acquired operations and new management personnel.
The
Company may suffer from a lack of liquidity .
By
incurring indebtedness, the Company subjects itself to increased debt service obligations which could result in operating and
financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity. This would impair our ability to hire the necessary senior
and support personnel required for our business, as well carry out its acquisition strategy and other business objectives.
The
Company lacks some of the technology necessary to manage its planned staffing operations, payroll, and sales activities .
The
Company relies heavily on its software providers to manage payroll, recruitment, onboarding, benefits administration, scheduling,
year-end reporting, and other related human resources issues. Currently, we rely on software provided by Paycom to help manage
these operations. In 2020, we added Intaact finance and accounting suite, SalesForce.Com, and advanced search B2B sales facilitator
Zoom Info; all which have made our business more efficient and effective. However, this segmented technology is not an integrated
ERP and will not handle the growing complexity of our needs as we evolve our operations through mergers and acquisitions of other
businesses. This could hamper our ability to successfully reduce the general and administrative costs of businesses that we acquire,
as contemplated by our acquisition strategy, which would ultimately impair our ability to generate a healthy profit.
The
Company is currently party to Factoring Facilities that are eroding its profit margins and may impair our ability to secure additional
financing.
The
Company has a factoring and security agreements (collectively, the “Factoring Facilities”) with Triumph Business Capital
(“Triumph”) who is sometimes referred to herein as a “Factor” or “Factoring Company”. Pursuant
to the Factoring Facilities, the Company sells its accounts receivable (i.e., invoices) at a discount so that the Company
can meet its immediate cash needs, at which point the value of those invoices become a debt of the Company that must be paid to
the Factoring Company. This type of facility is common for companies in the EOR and staffing industries as a great deal of cash
is advanced to make payroll and pay contractors. We may use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make debt
service payments on these Factoring Facilities, which reduces the funds available to us for other purposes such as working capital,
capital expenditures and acquisitions. In addition, because our largest asset (our accounts receivable) is encumbered pursuant
to these Factoring Facilities, our ability to obtain lines of credit or other financings for other purposes such as growth initiatives
and acquisitions is limited. Additionally, we are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates because our Factoring Facilities have
variable rates of interest tied to the prime interest rate. The reduction of cash flow as a result of these Factoring Facilities
may put us at a competitive disadvantage and reduce our flexibility in planning for, or responding to, changing conditions in
our industry, including increased competition, and makes us more vulnerable to general economic downturns and adverse developments
in our business.
20
No
formal market survey has been conducted .
No
independent marketing survey has been undertaken to determine the potential demand for the Company’s services over the longer
term. The Company has conducted no marketing studies regarding whether its business would continue to be marketable. No assurances
can be given that upon marketing, sufficient customer markets and business can be developed to sustain the Company’s operations
on a continued basis.
The
Company services numerous geographic areas, and therefore may be subject to risks such as natural disasters and travel-related
disruptions, which may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We
operate in all U.S. states and in numerous countries around the world. To do so, we often send workers to locations that could
be affected by various factors beyond our control that could adversely affect our ability to service our clients. These factors
could also affect our employees, vendors, insurance carriers and other contractual counterparties. Such factors include:
●
war,
terrorist activities or threats and heightened travel security measures instituted in response to these events;
●
outbreaks
of pandemic or contagious diseases or consumers’ concerns relating to potential exposure to contagious diseases;
●
natural
disasters, such as hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados, floods and volcanic eruptions and man-made disasters;
●
bad
weather and even forecasts of bad weather, including abnormally hot, cold and/or wet weather;
●
oil
prices and travel costs and the financial condition of the airline, automotive and other transportation-related industries,
any travel-related disruptions or incidents and their impact on travel; and
●
actions
or statements by U.S. and foreign governmental officials related to travel and corporate travel-related activities (including
changes to the U.S. visa rules) and the resulting public perception of such travel and activities.
Any
one or more of these factors could adversely affect our ability to offer services to clients, which could materially adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A
downturn of the U.S. or global economy could result in our clients using fewer workforce solutions or becoming unable to pay us
for our services on a timely basis or at all, which would materially adversely impact our business.
Because
demand for workforce solutions and services, particularly staffing services, is sensitive to changes in the level of economic
activity, our business may suffer during an economic downturn resulting from among other things the COVID-19 pandemic. During
periods of weak economic growth or economic contraction, the demand for staffing services typically declines. When demand drops,
our operating profit is typically impacted unfavorably as we experience a deleveraging of our selling and administrative expense
base as expenses may not decline as quickly as revenues. In periods of decline, we can only reduce selling and administrative
expenses to a certain level without negatively impacting our long-term prospects. Additionally, during economic downturns companies
may slow the rate at which they pay their vendors, or they may become unable to pay their obligations. If our clients become unable
to pay amounts owed to us, or pay us more slowly, then our cash flow and profitability may suffer.
21
Client
services may be terminated on short notice, leaving us vulnerable to a significant loss in revenue
Client
staffing needs can change and as a result we could lose staffing or EOR headcount rather quickly. In late 2019, this was the case when
AT&T announced the cancellation of two (2) live anchor multiple hour DirecTV sports programs, which had an estimated $4,000
revenue impact on the Company. A reduction in such needs and resulting loss of clients or placements at clients could result in
a significant decrease in revenue within a short period of time that would be difficult to quickly replace.
Inability
to retain or attract new clients.
Growth
and profitability of our business is dependent upon our ability to retain and capture new clients. Our ability to achieve success
in both areas is reliant on our sales and service organization. If we are unable to execute effectively, or our selected business
development efforts falter, we may not be able to attract a significant number of new clients and our existing client base could
shrink, resulting in an adverse impact on our revenues and profitability.
We
could be required to write-off goodwill and intangible assets.
In
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to review our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment
at least annually. Our goodwill and intangibles assets were $721 at the end of 2020. An unfavorable evaluation could cause us
to write-off these assets in future periods. Any future write-offs could have a material adverse impact on our operational results
or Operating Income Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“OIBITDA”). OIBITDA is a non-GAAP metric
we use to better reflect the operating results of the Company.
Our
business is subject to federal, state and local labor and employment laws and a failure to comply could materially harm our business.
We
are subject to regulation by a host of federal, state and local regulatory agencies in the jurisdictions within which we operate
including but not limited to the U.S. Department of Labor. There are local agencies which have similar state and city regulations
as well with specific laws and regulations varying among these jurisdictions. This acts both as an opportunity for the Company
since we manage these risks as a matter of course for our EOR service, and a risk as compliance with these requirements imposes
some additional burden on us. However, in the past challenges complying with these local, state and federal regulations has not
resulted in a material adverse event on Maslow’s business. Any inability or failure to comply with government regulation
could however materially harm our business. Increased government regulation of the workplace or of the employer-employee relationship,
or judicial or administrative proceedings related to such regulation, could create additional business for the Company, but could
also materially harm our business
In
reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, federal and state legislatures have been attempting to push through legislation, much of which
affects the employee-employer relationship, and these new laws may have a material impact on our operations, business,
finances and prospects. No certainty can be provided as to the nature of these new regulations or their impact.
Concentration
Risk of Customers
Workforce
clients AT&T and DirecTV (under a single AT&T agreement) and Janssen Pharmaceuticals (which includes workforce partners
Johnson & Johnson) made up approximately 29% and 11% of our 2020 revenues, respectively. In addition, these two customers
account for approximately 49% and 18% of our accounts receivables as of December 31, 2020, respectively. Our business relies on
relationships with several large customers, to generate a large portion of our revenue. This revenue concentration in a relatively
small number of customers (5 clients make up 65% of revenue) makes us particularly dependent on factors affecting those companies.
22
RISKS
RELATED TO OWNERSHIP OF COMMON STOCK
Our
stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, resulting in substantial losses for our shareholders .
The
market price of Common Stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile for the foreseeable future. The market price
of Common Stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the
factors listed below:
●
actual
or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations;
●
any
financial projections we provide to the public, any changes in these projections or our failure to meet these projections;
●
lack
of securities analyst coverage;
●
effect
of applicable “penny stock” rules and FINRA Rule 2111;
●
failure
of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our Company, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts
who follow our Company, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;
●
ratings
changes by any securities analysts who follow our Company;
●
announcements
by us or our competitors of significant innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
●
changes
in operating performance and stock market valuations of other business services companies generally, or those in our industry
in particular;
●
price
and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole;
●
changes
in our board of directors or management;
●
sales
of large blocks of Company Common Stock, including sales by our executive officers, directors and significant shareholders;
●
lawsuits
threatened or filed against us;
●
short
sales, hedging and other derivative transactions involving our capital stock;
●
general
economic conditions in the United States and abroad; and
●
other
events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism or responses to these events.
In
addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market
prices of equity securities of many business services companies. Stock prices of many business services companies have fluctuated
in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In the past, shareholders have instituted
securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in securities litigation,
it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our business and adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
23
Common
Stock is subject to risks arising from restrictions on reliance on Rule 144 by shell companies or former shell companies.
Under
a regulation of the SEC known as “Rule 144,” a person who beneficially owns restricted securities of an issuer and
who is not an affiliate of that issuer may sell them without registration under the Securities Act provided that certain conditions
have been met. One of these conditions is that such person has held the restricted securities for a prescribed period, which will
be 6 months for Common Stock. However, Rule 144 is unavailable for the resale of securities issued by an issuer that is a shell
company (other than a business combination related shell company) or, unless certain conditions are met, that has been at any
time previously a shell company.
The
SEC defines a shell company as a company that has (a) no or nominal operations and (b) either (i) no or nominal assets, (ii) assets
consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or (iii) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal
other assets.
As
a result of the Merger described in Item 1.01, the Company ceased being a shell company as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2
under the Exchange Act.
While
we believe that as a result of the Merger, Reliability ceased to be a shell company, the SEC and others whose approval is required
for shares to be sold under Rule 144 might take a different view.
Rule
144 is available for the resale of securities of former shell companies if and for as long as the following conditions are met:
(i)
the
issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
(ii)
the
issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
(iii)
the
issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and materials required to be filed, as applicable, during the
preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Current
Reports on Form 8-K; and
(iv)
at
least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current comprehensive disclosure with the SEC reflecting its
status as an entity that is not a shell company known as “Form 10 Information.”
Although
the Company has filed Form 10 Information with the SEC on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 29, 2019, shareholders
who receive the Company’s restricted securities will not be able to sell them pursuant to Rule 144 without registration
until the Company has met the other conditions to this exception and then for only as long as the Company continues to meet the
condition described in subparagraph (iii), above, and is not a shell company. No assurance can be given that the Company will
meet these conditions or that, if it has met them, it will continue to do so, or that it will not again be a shell company.
The
issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock could cause the value of Common Stock to decline.
The
sale or issuance of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock, or anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult
for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish. Further,
if we do sell or issue more Common Stock, any investors’ investment in the Company will be diluted. Moreover, the Company
has outstanding warrants. The conversion or exercise of the warrants for shares of Company Common Stock would dilute the common
shareholders. If significant dilution occurs, any investment in Common Stock could significantly decline in value.
The
application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price of Common Stock and increase transaction
costs to sell those shares. This can be exacerbated by the current low float of the stock in relation to the shares outstanding.
24
The
SEC has adopted Rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us,
as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share,
subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:
●
that
a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and
●
the
broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity
of the penny stock to be purchased.
In
order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
●
obtain
financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and
●
make
a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has enough knowledge
and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating
to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
●
sets
forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and that the broker or dealer received a
signed written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make
it more difficult for investors to dispose of Common Stock and cause a decline in the market value of Common Stock.
Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to
buy and sell our stock.
In
addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted Rule 2111 that requires a broker-dealer to
have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending the investment. Prior
to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts
to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under
interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not
be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their
customers buy Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for
our shares.
We
do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future .
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our stock and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We anticipate that we will retain all our future earnings for use in the development of our business and for general corporate
purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR PREVIOUS STATUS AS A SHELL COMPANY
We
may have contingent liabilities related to our operations prior to the Merger of which we are not aware and for which we have
not adequately provided for.
We
identified as a shell company with no operating activities prior to the Merger. Upon completion of the Merger, we acquired all
of the operations of The Maslow Media Group, Inc. Prior to the consummation of the Merger, Reliability Incorporated was engaged
from 1971 to 2007 in the design, manufacture, market, and support of high-performance equipment used to test and condition integrated
circuits. This business was closed in 2007. We cannot assure you that there are no material claims outstanding, or other circumstances
of which we are not aware, that would give rise to a material liability relating to those prior operations, even though we do
not record any provisions in our financial statements related to any such potential liability. If we are subject to past claims
or material obligations relating to our operations prior to the consummation of the Merger, such claims could materially adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
25
RISK
RELATED TO THE MERGER AND OWNERSHIP OF COMMON STOCK
Costs
of being a public company and risks associated with having been a shell.
We
are now incurring increased costs with demands upon management and accounting and finance resources as a result of complying with
the laws and regulations affecting public companies; any failure to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial
reporting or to recruit, train and retain necessary accounting and finance personnel could have an adverse effect on our ability
to accurately and timely prepare our consolidated financial statements.
We
identified as a shell company with no recent operating activities prior to the Merger. Upon completion of the Merger, we acquired
all the operations of The Maslow Media Group. Inc. As a public operating company, we are now incurring significant administrative,
legal, accounting and other burdens and expenses beyond those of a private company, including those associated with corporate
governance requirements and public company reporting obligations. We have already enhanced and supplemented our internal accounting
resources with additional accounting and finance personnel with the requisite technical and public company experience and expertise,
as well as refined our quarterly and annual financial statement closing process, to enable us to satisfy such reporting obligations.
However, even with perceived success in doing so, there can be no assurance that our finance and accounting organization will
be able to adequately meet the increased demands that result from being a public company.
Furthermore,
we are required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In order to satisfy the requirements of Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to document and test our internal control procedures and prepare annual
management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. These assessments will need to include
disclosure of identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Testing and maintaining internal
control over financial reporting will involve significant costs and could divert management’s attention from other matters
that are important to our business. Additionally, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in remediating any
deficiencies that may be identified. If we are unable to remediate any such deficiencies or otherwise fail to establish and maintain
adequate accounting systems and internal control over financial reporting, or we are unable to recruit, train and retain necessary
accounting and finance personnel, we may not be able to accurately and timely prepare our consolidated financial statements and
otherwise satisfy our public reporting obligations. Any inaccuracies in our consolidated financial statements or other public
disclosures (in particular if resulting in the need to restate previously filed financial statements), or delays in our making
required SEC filings, could have a material adverse effect on the confidence in our financial reporting, our credibility in the
marketplace and the trading price of Common Stock.
In
addition, our management team will also have to adapt to other requirements of being a public company. We will need to devote
significant resources to address these public company-associated requirements, including compliance programs and investor relations,
as well as our financial reporting obligations. Complying with these rules and regulations will substantially increase our legal
and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly.
26
Common
Stock may not be eligible for listing on a national securities exchange .
Common
Stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, and we do not currently meet the initial quantitative listing
standards of a national securities exchange. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of
any national securities exchange, or, if we do meet such initial qualitative listing standards, that we will be able to maintain
any such listing. Common Stock is currently quoted on the pink sheets OTCQB of the OTC Marketplace under the symbol of “RLBY”,
and, unless and until Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, we expect that it will continue to be eligible
and quoted on the “pink sheets,” to which time we are eligible to apply to the OTCQB or OTCQX. However, in order to
qualify for the OTCQB for instance, we would need our float to be a minimum of 5% of outstanding shares to even apply for an exception.
Currently our float is under 3% of outstanding. Until outstanding shares are increased, or sufficient number of shares registered
and eligible for trade we will be unable to apply for an exception to move to the OTCQB or OTCQX. In those venues, however, an
investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of Common Stock. In addition, if we continue
to fail to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who
sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations normally
deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling Common Stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it
more difficult for us to raise additional capital.
We
cannot predict whether there will be an active trading market for our common stock and the market price of our common stock may
remain volatile.
Given
our low float of approximately 11,675,503 shares and the absence of an active trading market shareholders may have difficulty
buying and selling our common stock at all or at the price you consider reasonable. Market visibility for shares of our common
stock may be limited, which may have a depressive effect on the market price for shares of our common stock and on our ability
to raise capital or make acquisitions by issuing our common stock.
Our
compliance with regulations concerning corporate governance and public disclosure has resulted and may in the future result in
additional expenses.
Evolving
disclosure, governance and compliance laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure,
including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
New or changing laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity,
and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies,
which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to
disclosure and governance practices. As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards of a public
company are likely to continue to result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and
attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.
