NOTE
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature
of Operations
Reliability,
Inc. is a leading provider of employer workforce management solutions that operates, along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Maslow
Media Group, Inc (“MMG”), (collectively, “Reliability” or the “Company”), primarily within the United
States of America in four industry segments: Employer of Record (“EOR”), Recruiting and Staffing, Direct Placements, and
Video and Multimedia Production Services, which provides script to screen media talent. Our Staffing segment provides skilled field talent
on a nationwide basis for Media, IT, and finance and accounting client partner projects. Video Production involves assembling and providing
staff and/or crews with equipment for live or taped programming. This service can be provided within client facilities or on location
across the globe and cover pre-production planning to post-production services.
Reliability
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas in 1953, but the then principal business of the Company started in 1971 was closed
down in 2007. The Company completed a reverse merger with MMG (the “Merger”) on October 29, 2019.
Company
Background
Linda
Maslow founded Maslow Group initially in 1988 and incorporated the firm under the name the Maslow Media Group Inc.
(“MMG”) in March 1992.
On
November 9, 2016, MMG was sold to Vivos Holdings, LLC (“Vivos Holdings”), owned by Dr. Naveen Doki (“Dr. Doki”)
and Silvija Valleru (“Ms. Valleru”).
In
2018, Vivos Holdings and several other Vivos companies engaged an investment banker who approached management
of Reliability to discuss a potential reverse merger transaction. The other investors who collaborated on a share swap of MMG for other
Vivos companies were Shirisha Janumpally (“Mrs. Janumpally”) ,
wife of Dr. Doki, and Kalyan Pathuri (“Mr. Pathuri”), husband of Silvija Valleru.
These
individuals included but were not limited to Dr. Doki, Mrs. Janumpally, Mr. Pathuri, Mrs. Valleru . Igly Trust and Judos Trust also
have common ownership combinations in a number of other entities [Vivos Holdings, LLC, Vivos Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“VREH”),
Vivos Holdings, Inc., Vivos Group, Vivos Acquisitions, LLC, and Federal Systems, LLC], (collectively referred to herein as “Vivos
Group”).
The
reverse merger was consummated on October 29, 2019. As a result of the Merger, the Vivos Group (Vivos Holdings LLC, officially) acquired
approximately 84 % of the issued and outstanding shares of Reliability which were distributed by Vivos Holdings, LLC.
On
October 29, 2019, MMG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliability by merging R-M Merger Sub, Inc., a Virginia corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliability, with and into Maslow, with MMG being the surviving corporation.
The
Company ceased to be a “shell” company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the
“Exchange Act”) by virtue of its ownership of MMG following the Merger. The acquisition of MMG also resulted in a “change
in control” of Reliability.

Upon
purchasing MMG and thereafter, the “Vivos Group”) began borrowing
monies from MMG starting with $ 1,400 in 2016 and by the end of 2019 the balance had reached $ 3,418 , which included a $ 3,000 guarantee
from Dr. Naveen Doki. (See Note 8 for more details).
The
attempted collection of the guarantee and debt from the Vivos Group set off a chain of legal events culminating in an arbitration hearing
and award in 2022. (See below and Item 3 for complete summary). We refer below to the disputes between Reliability and the Vivos Group
as the “Vivos Matter.”
A
series of legal actions and hearings took place starting in March of 2020 through September of 2021. At that time, arbitration was agreed
by both the Vivos Group and MMG, The proceedings began in February 2022 and were completed in March 2022.
On
August 31, 2022, the Arbitrator issued an award (the “Award”) with the Company and MMG prevailing on their claims. The Company
and MMG were awarded the following:
●
an
award in favor of MMG against Vivos Holdings LLC under Note I (as defined in the Award) in the amount of $ 3,458 , with interest thereon
from June 30, 2022, at the rate of 4.5 % per year;
●
no
award as to Note II (as defined in the Award) until and at such time as the automatic stay imposed by the United States Bankruptcy
Court as a result of the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by VREH is lifted or the bankruptcy proceeding is terminated;
●
an
award in favor of MMG against Vivos Holdings, LLC under Note III (as defined in the Award) in the amount of $ 800 , with interest thereon
from June 30, 2022, at the rate of 2.5 % per year, plus collection costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in
the effort to collect Note III;
●
an
award in favor of MMG against Naveen under the Personal Guaranty (as defined in the Award) in the amount of $ 2,309 , plus interest
thereon at the rate of 6 % per year from the date of the Award;
●
an
award in favor of the Company against Naveen, Valleru, Janumpally, individually and as Trustee of Judos Trust, and Pathuri, as Trustee
of Igly Trust, jointly and severally, for contract damages of $ 1,000 , to be satisfied by the transfer of their shares of the Company
common stock to the Company equal in value to $ 1,000 , valued as of the date of the Award, in accordance with the provisions of Section
9.06(d) of the Merger Agreement;
●
an
award in favor of the Company against Naveen, Valleru, Janumpally, individually and as Trustee of Judos Trust, and Pathuri, as Trustee
of Igly Trust, jointly and severally, for fraud damages in the amount of $ 4,327 , plus interest thereon at the rate of 6 % per year
from the date of the Award, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including attorneys’ and accountants’
fees;
●
an
award appointing a rehabilitative receiver for the Company under the deadlock situation provisions of Section 11.404(a)(1)(B) of
the Texas Business Organizations Code, the primary function of which is to collect the contract and fraud damages, including costs,
expenses and fees provided in the Award, due to the Company, with matters regarding such receivership to be set forth in a supplemental
award; and
●
declaratory
relief in favor of the Company and its officers and directors.
Section
11.404(a)(1)(B) of the Texas Business Organizations Code provides for the appointment of a rehabilitative receiver when “the governing
persons of the entity are deadlocked in the management of the entity’s affairs, the owners or members of the entity are unable
to break the deadlock, and irreparable injury to the entity is being suffered or is threatened because of the deadlock.” With respect
to the receivership, the owners or holders of all of the shares of common stock of the Company received as a result of the conversion
of 1,600 shares of common stock of MMG owed by Naveen and Valleru under the Merger Agreement shall not be entitled to vote any of those
shares at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders of the Company during the period of the receivership. Upon the completion
of the receiver’s primary function of collecting damages due to the Company, the receivership shall terminate and the restrictions
on the rights of the shareholders of the Company imposed by the Award shall be lifted.

On
May 17, 2023, the Arbitrator issued an Amended and Supplemental Arbitration Award (the “Amended Award”) which included
the following:
●
the
Arbitrator will appoint a rehabilitative receiver under Maryland law in a Supplemental Award Appointing Rehabilitative Receiver;
●
an
award in favor of MMG and against VREH under Note II in the amount of $ 835,156 as of June 30, 2022, with interest thereafter at the
rate of 5.5 % per year; and
●
because
the loss sustained by Reliability, Inc. in fraud damages (Award 6) is the same as the loss sustained by Reliability, Inc.’s
wholly-owned subsidiary, Maslow Media Group, Inc., in the nonpayment of Notes I, II, and the Personal Guaranty (Awards 1, 2, and
4), there can be only one recovery.
On
May 31, 2023, the Arbitrator appointed a Rehabilitative Receiver in the above case, an assignment which the appointee accepted. We now
await the Supplemental Order Appointing the Rehabilitative Receiver.
On
June 16, 2023, we learned that the principal amount due on 22 Baltimore Road had been satisfied via sale and thus the Fairfax, Virginia
court released the VREH confessed judgement; meaning MMG was no longer listed as a guarantor.
On
July 21, 2023, MMG filed a petition for attorneys’ fees, as requested by the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator set the following remaining
schedule for submitting petitions for attorneys’ fees: Vivos Holdings, LLC response on August 21, 2023 and our reply on September
6, 2023.
Upon
a final resolution as to the underlying ownership and rights of certain shareholders, the Company intends to hold an annual meeting of
shareholders within a reasonable time thereafter.
As
of June 30, 2023, the Vivos Debtor (“Vivos Debtor”) balance was $ 5,348 . The arbitration award covering all bulleted items
above currently totals $ 6,348 independent of legal fees, interest, and other fees (see Note 2 below). This amount represents a reduction
in earlier estimates as a result of the clarifications issued by the Arbitrator in the Amended Award on May 17, 2023.
Basis
of presentation
The
unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly-owned divisions, including
its 100 % -owned subsidiary, MMG. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States and the rules of the SEC, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto
contained in our Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for
a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein. The results
of operations for the periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
For
the six months ended June 30, 2023, 24.5 % of revenue came from one customer, and 13.6 % from a second customer. Combined, this totals
38.1 % of revenue. Last year, these two customers plus a third, accounted for 48.6 % of revenue for the same period ended June 30, 2022.
This year, the top five customers accounted for 60.6% of revenue versus a year ago, when the top five landed on 63.5% . No other client has
exceeded 10% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

NOTE
2. MANAGEMENT’S PLAN
Although
the Company continues to experience net operating losses, management believes it has the ability to continue as a going concern and meet
its financial obligation as they become due in 2023 and beyond. The factors impacting this view include, but are not limited to, the
following:
●
cash
flow forecasts showing sufficient cash and working capital for at least 12 months from July 23, 2023;
●
the
prospect of receiving the amounts awarded in the arbitration hearing in 2023, which include the $ 5,348 in notes receivable from related
parties, plus awards for fraud, totaling $ 1,000 for contract damages, and additional interest, and legal fees, after the supplemental
award is finalized;
●
the
reduction in legal fees associated with Vivos Matter year to date at $ 460 plus future savings compared to a year ago;
●
new
sales plan implementation by our recently hired Vice President of Sales who has experience and success in managing contingent and
direct hire staffing organizations; and
●
the
Company has additional availability to use its factoring line to extend borrowings of up to 93 % of unfactored invoices, which as of
August 1, 2023, could be converted to approximately $ 2,347 in cash.
As
a result of the foregoing, the Company believes that it has sufficient cash to meet its financial obligations for the next 12 months
and beyond as they become due.

Factoring
Facility
The
Company is in a factoring and security agreement with Gulf Coast Bank and Trust (“Gulf”),
which enables the Company to receive advances on its accounts receivable (i.e., invoices) through Gulf to fund growth and operations.
The proceeds of this agreement are most frequently used to pay operating costs of the business, which include employee salaries, vendor
payments, and overhead expenses.
Our

NOTE
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
There
are a number of debts and confessions of judgement (“COJ”) related to the Vivos Group that included Maslow as a co-signer
or guarantor at some stage in the Vivos Group debt process from November 2016 through October 29, 2019, when Vivos Holdings LLC owned
Maslow. All known debts disclosed to Maslow management and Reliability prior to the Merger were addressed by various safeguards such
as the Liquidation Agreement, and the Naveen Doki personal guarantee described in Item 1. However, there were certain non-disclosures
by Vivos Holdings, LLC that are included below which are completely covered in Note 8 and Item 3 Legal Proceedings.
In
December 2019, the Company’s executive management learned that prior to the Merger, in January 2018, one of the Company’s
related parties, on behalf of Maslow, executed a guarantee of obligations of Vivos Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“VREH”), under
a mortgage loan for the purchase of the property at 22 Baltimore Rd., Rockville, Maryland. Maslow leased this space on market terms.
This obligation had not been included in Maslow’s consolidated financial statements and was not separately disclosed prior to the
Merger.
Maslow
challenged this obligation and included the lack of disclosure in its arbitration complaint. This matter was finally resolved on June
16, 2023 with the sale of the building by VREH, which relieved MMG of any further obligation in regard to the building’s mortgage.
In
September 2022, MMG learned that Vivos IT, LLC filed a lawsuit against Second Wind Consultants (“SWC”) in May 2019
included MMG as a plaintiff. The lawsuit included claims of fraud in inducement and unjust enrichment against SWC. The five parties
suing SWC, included Vivos LLC, The Maslow Media Group, Suresh Venkat Doki, Naveen Doki, and Silvija Valleru. The lawsuit related to
a debt restructuring services agreement secured by Suresh Doki, Naveen Doki and Silvija Valleru to assist the following then owned
Vivos entities: Maslow Media Group, Inc., Health Care Resources Network, Inc., Mettler & Michael, Inc., 360 IT Professionals,
Inc., and US IT Solutions, Inc. SWC countersued all plaintiffs on September 30, 2019, seeking to collect the balance of $ 402,500
not paid by the Vivos Group. These suits were not disclosed to Maslow management or to Reliability before the Merger closed on
October 29, 2019. MMG continues to weigh its legal options. The Company filed a motion in January 2023 to include
all original parties to the SWC Agreement. The court has not yet issued its ruling on the motion filed.
At
the present time, the Company is uncertain as to whether any of the above items will have a material impact on their consolidated financial
statements.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Stock
Purchase Agreement
On
November 9, 2016, Vivos Holdings, LLC, the former owner of MMG, acquired 100 % of MMG through a stock acquisition exchange for a purchase
price of $ 1,750 , of which: (i) $ 1,400 was paid at settlement with proceeds from MMG and (ii) a promissory note to pay the remaining $ 350
(“Vivos/MMG Purchase Agreement”). The promissory note was to be paid in twenty-four equal installments, including interest
at 4.5%, in the amount of approximately $15, commencing six months after closing, with the last payment on March 1, 2019 . These payments
were paid by MMG on behalf of the Vivos Debtors. The Vivos Debtors subsequently entered into a promissory note receivable with MMG, described
below, for the full stock purchase price. No payment has ever been made against this note and between 2018 to present, there has been
$ 2,503 in additional borrowings.
As
of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the receivable totaled $ 5,348 and $ 5,251 , respectively. This is not inclusive of the additional
amounts awarded in the arbitration.
Notes
Receivable
The
Company has notes receivable from Vivos Holdings, LLC and VREH, a member of Vivos Group, both related party affiliates due to their
ownership percentage in the Company. Per Code of Virginia the legal rate of interest shall be implied when there is an obligation to
pay interest and no express contract to pay interest at a specified rate. However, it was determined in 2021 that the two notes had
clauses capping the default interest at 4.5 %
and 5.5 % ,
respectively. The rate adjustment for the periods allowed was made using the eligible agreement rates.
In
connection with the Vivos/MMG Purchase Agreement, on November 15, 2016, MMG executed a promissory note receivable with Vivos Holdings,
LLC in the amount of $ 1,400 . As defined by the Vivos/MMG Purchase Agreement, the loan consisted of two periods, whereby in the first
period no principal or interest payments were required. During the second loan period, interest was supposed to have been paid in 20
equal consecutive payments, quarterly. Principal plus any unpaid interest is due September 20, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the total outstanding
balance was $ 3,647 , which includes accrued interest receivable of $ 63 for the period.
On
November 15, 2017, MMG executed an intercompany promissory note receivable with VREH in the amount of $ 772 . There were two loan periods
defined. During the first loan period, interest accrued monthly and a new loan amount of $ 781 was subject to a second loan period. As
of June 30, 2023, the total outstanding balance was $ 881 , which includes accrued interest receivable of $ 24 for the period.
On
June 12, 2019, MMG entered into a Personal Guaranty agreement with Dr. Doki, pursuant to which Dr. Naveen Doki personally guaranteed
to MMG repayment of $ 3,000 of the balance of the Promissory Note issued to Vivos Debtors on November 15, 2017, within the 2019 calendar
year via cash, stock, or other business assets acceptable to the Company. Dr. Doki is a 5 % or greater beneficial holder of Company Common
Stock, and therefore is a related party.
As
of February 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit against the majority shareholder, pursuant to the personal guaranty agreement for defaulting
on the outstanding notes receivable.
Between November 2016 and June 30, 2023, the Vivos Group borrowed an additional $ 2,547 , included in the note receivable,
totaling $ 3,647 .

On
September 5, 2019, MMG entered into a Secured Promissory Note agreement with Vivos, pursuant to which MMG issued a secured promissory
note to the Vivos Group in the principal amount of $ 750 . The note bears interest at 2.5 % per year and requires the Vivos Group to make
monthly payments to MMG of $ 10 beginning December 1, 2019, with balance due and payable on November 1, 2026 . Upon an event of default,
MMG has the right to declare the entire unpaid balance of the note due and payable. The note was secured by 30,000,000 shares of Company
Common Stock, was due and payable upon a default by Vivos. In addition, both Naveen Doki and Silvija Valleru personally guaranteed the
repayment of the note by the Vivos Group. Naveen Doki and Silvija Valleru were beneficial owners of Vivos and are also 5 % or greater
beneficial owners of Company Common Stock, which is qualified by the Merger Arbitration complaint. As of June 30, 2023, the total outstanding
balance was $ 820 , which includes 2023 interest of $ 10 .
Debt
Settlement Agreements
On
July 21, 2022, Maslow settled the obligation which Vivos Holdings, LLC had obligated Maslow to in July 2018, with Libertas Funding, LLC
and Kinetic for $ 475 . (see Section 1A). The $ 475 is included in the additional borrowing cited above.
Related
Party Relationships
On
October 29, 2019, prior to the Merger, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Naveen Doki and Silvija Valleru became beneficial owners of
206,606,528 and 51,652,908 shares of RLBY Common Stock, respectively, equal to 68.9 % and 17.2 % of the total number of shares of RLBY
Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to the Merger, respectively. The Company’s arbitration award thus far includes relinquishment
of shares of the Company common stock equal in value to $ 1,000 , valued as of the date of the Award, in accordance with the provisions
of Section 9.06(d) of the Merger Agreement (see Note 1).
In
2019, the Company entered into transactions with two executive officers, Nick Tsahalis and Mark Speck, of the Company, resulting in the
issuance of warrants to purchase 163,232 shares each of common stock.
The
term “warrant” herein refers to warrants issued by MMG and assumed by the Company as a result of the Merger. The terms
of all warrants are the same other than as to the number of shares covered thereby. The warrant may be exercised at any time or from
time to time during the period commencing at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on first business day following the completion of the Qualified
Financing (as defined below) and expiring at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the fifth annual anniversary thereof (the “Exercise
Period”). For purposes herein, a “Qualified Financing” means the issuance by the Company, other than certain
excluded issuances of shares of Common Stock, in one transaction or series of related transactions, which transaction(s) result in
aggregate gross proceeds actually received by the Company of at least $ 5,000 .
The exercise price per full share of the Company common stock shall be 120 %
of the average sale price of the Company common stock across all transactions constituting a part of the Qualified Financing, with
equitable adjustments being made for any splits, combinations or dividends relating to the Company common stock, or combinations,
recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events, that occur following one transaction
constituting a part of the Qualified Financing and prior to one or more other transactions constituting a part of the Qualified
Financing (the “Exercise Price”). Convertible note warrants were not valued and included as liability on the balance
sheet because of uncertainty around their pricing, value, and low probability at this juncture in receiving the $ 5,000
trigger.

2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
The
following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our unaudited
consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This section includes
several forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that reflect our current
views with respect to future events and financial performance. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future,
including, but not limited to, statements about our plans, strategies, adequacy of resources and future financial results (such as revenue,
gross profit, operating profit, cash flow), are forward-looking statements. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified
by words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “can,”
“could,” “should,” “intends,” “project,” “predict,” “plans,”
“estimates,” “goal,” “target,” “possible,” “potential,” “would,”
“seek,” and similar references to future periods. These statements are not a guarantee of future performance and involve
a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Because these forward-looking statements are based on
estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond
our control or are subject to change, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in these
forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on us and our clients; our ability to access the capital markets
by pursuing additional debt and equity financing to fund our business plan and expenses on terms acceptable to the Vivos Group or at
all; negative outcome of pending and future claims and litigation and our ability to comply with our contractual covenants, including
in respect of our debt; potential loss of clients and possible rejection of our business model and/or sales methods; weakness in general
economic conditions and levels of capital spending by customers in the industries we serve; weakness or volatility in the financial and
capital markets, which may result in the postponement or cancellation of our customers’ projects or the inability of our customers
to pay our fees; delays or reductions in U.S. government spending; credit risks associated with our customers; competitive market pressures;
the availability and cost of qualified labor; our level of success in attracting, training and retaining qualified management personnel
and other staff employees; changes in tax laws and other government regulations, including the impact of health care reform laws and
regulations; the possibility of incurring liability for our business activities, including, but not limited to, the activities of our
temporary employees; our performance on customer contracts; and government policies, legislation or judicial decisions adverse to our
businesses. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
We assume no obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required
by law. We recommend readers to carefully review the entirety of this Quarterly Report, the “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the other reports and documents we file from
time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), particularly our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our
Current Reports on Form 8-K.
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, our expectations regarding the future performance
of our business and the other non-historical statements in the discussion and analysis are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors including those described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, with the SEC. Our actual results may differ materially
from those contained in any forward-looking statements. You should read the following discussion together with our financial statements
and related notes thereto and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND COMMENTS RELATED TO OPERATIONS
This
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these unaudited
consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
17
There
have been no material changes or developments in the Company’s evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions
or methodologies that it believes to be Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates as disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2022.
Management’s
Discussion included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, includes discussion of various factors and items related to
the Company’s results of operations and liquidity. There have been no other significant changes in most of the factors discussed
in the Form 10-K and many of the items discussed in the Form 10-K are relevant to 2023 operations; thus, the reader of this report should
read Management’s Discussion included in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
Revenues
for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $5,452, which was $1,029 or 15.9% less than for the same period in 2022 with revenue at
$6,481. 18.4% or $1,017 of the drop can be attributed to the EOR business segment as second quarter revenues dropped to $4,499 from $5,516.
The primary reasons for the EOR second-quarter downturn were that one large client converted more than ten of our employees from our payroll
to theirs, another client has had declines in programming.
Recruiting
and Staffing revenues dipped by $35 from $898 in the period ending June 30, 2022 to $863 comparatively in 2023, while Direct Hire
revenues were up $22 in the quarter ending June 30, 2023 to the comparable period a year ago when that business segment did not
complete any placements. Media Staffing would have increased revenues if not for the loss of a client for which we acted as a
subcontractor (explained below in Gross Profit section).
Video
Production produced the same revenue, $68 in the second quarter 2023, that it did a year ago in in the second quarter ending June 30,
2022.
For
the six-month period ending June 30, 2023, revenues at $10,651 in 2023 are $1,613 or 13.2% off of 2022’s $12,264 performance. The
paradigm is the same as in the second quarter in that $1,344 of the $1,613 decline or 83% was based on the lower revenue performance
of the same three aforementioned clients.
Cost
of Revenue / Gross Profit
Gross
profit for the three-month period ending June 30, 2023 was $740 representing 13.6% of revenues, which was $147 lower than the $887 in
gross profit MMG earned in 2022’s second quarter when the gross margin was at 13.7%.
The
slight margin dip can be attributed to a resource that we added last year in the third quarter to support a client directly and the
other the loss of a client with whom we acted in a subcontractor capacity. The client failed to win a renewal bid by the end
customer. This had a 20-basis impact on the overall gross profit margin in the second quarter 2023.
Year
to date through June 30, 2023, our gross profit margins exceed those of 2022 over the same period 13.6% to 13.2%. The catalyst of the
gross margin percentage improvement is EOR - up close to 1% at 12.1%.
EOR
margins tend to be lower at the beginning of the year as variable costs, such as federal and state unemployment taxes, reset at the beginning
of the year. EOR margins tend to increase throughout the year as these variable costs are exhausted. In late 2022 and early 2023, several
EOR contracts were extended, resulting in a slight improvement in margins. Overall, our customer mix continues to be more weighted to
clients that have more favorable pricing terms than those that previously dominated sales.
General
and Administrative (“G&A”)
General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $911 compared to $1,097 in the same period in 2022, representing
a $186 or 17% decrease. $139 of the $186 is from the reduction in arbitration related costs, while employee salaries and benefits were
comparatively down $36 as commissions were cut by $22, and business insurance costs trimmed by $10 when comparing the second quarter
2023 to 2022.
18
In
the six months ended June 30, 2023, SG&A costs of $1,844 were $558 (23.2%) lower than they were in the same period in 2022 when they
landed on $2,402. A savings of $460 was derived as a result of the reduction in arbitration related costs. Other major favorable variances
were loaded wages $165, with $135 coming from a lower bonus accrual and offset of over accrued 2022 bonuses, and $27 derived from our
business insurance package. Conversely, there were cost increases of $75 for a combination of contract services and marketing costs,
$36 for staff events and development, when comparing the period ending June 30, 2023 with the same period in 2022.
We
expect increases in payroll as certain roles have been contracted and sales and sales support continue to evolve.
Interest
Expense
The
Company incurred $22 in interest charges for financing and factoring its invoices in the second quarter 2023 compared with $36 in the
same period a year ago, as average borrowing was at $605 for the quarter as compared with $2,500 in 2022. Buyer Initiated Payment Agreement (“BIP”) with American Express
(“Amex”) interest totaled approximately
$16.
Other
Income (Expense)
Other
Income/Expense in the second quarter was ($119) compared with $0 in the second quarter 2022. Other expenses were split as approximately
half was to cover legal fees for the Second Wind matter (see Note 6 above) and half to address another non-operating related legal matter.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our
working capital requirements are driven predominantly by EOR field talent payments, G&A salaries, public company costs, interest
associated with factoring, and client accounts receivable receipts. Since receipts from client payments are on average 70 days behind
payments to field talent, working capital requirements can be periodically challenged. We have a Factoring Facility with Gulf, whereas
Gulf advances 93% of our eligible receivables at an advance rate of 15 basis points, an interest rate of prime plus 2%., and our prime
floor rate at 4%. Our Days Outstanding (DSO) for the trailing 12 months ending June 30, 2023 is at 57 comparable to 64 DSO for the trailing
twelve months ending March 31, 2022.
Our
12-month DSO has averaged 64 since January 2020 as some of our largest clients have 60 to 90-day terms. Delays in receipt of purchase
orders also has had an adverse impact on DSO. However, in April 2023, we entered into a BIP
with Amex which enables MMG to be advanced 100% of purchase order approved invoices minus a flat interest
rate percentage that is based on that day’s submitted invoice volume. The greater the volume the lower the interest rate charged.
This has a profound impact on DSO as this arrangement enables bank debits and credits to A/R as opposed to credits to factoring short
term debt with impact to A/R only once the client pays the invoice.
The
BIP program has also lowered our cost of capital in that our effective APR for the period ending June 30, 2023 was 5.9% versus the 10.33%
Gulf charges on annualized basis.
Alternatively,
we have had an increase over the past 12 months in client advances which averaged approximately $211 a month.
When
looking at A/R aging in relation to payments to due date, as of June 30, 2023, 89.2% of our $1,631 in total trade A/R was current and
99% was < 31 days aged, compared to 64.1% and 77.6% a year ago, respectively. Our > 60 days aged invoices represent $16 or 1% of
our total A/R. This improvement mostly can be attributed to our use of the Amex BIP program as described above.
Our
federal and state tax liability is $5 compared to $6 as of December 31, 2022.
Our
primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations via accounts receivable and borrowings under our BIP agreement with Amex
and our Factoring Facility with Gulf enabling access to the 7% unfactored portion. The BIP agreement enables MMG to accelerate cash on
accounts with 90-day terms.
19
Our
primary uses of cash are for payments to field talent, corporate and staff employees, related payroll liabilities, operating expenses,
public company costs, including but not limited to, general and professional liability and directors and officer’s liability insurance
premiums, legal fees, filing fees, auditor and accounting fees, stock transfer services, and board compensation; followed by cash factoring
and other borrowing interest; cash taxes; and debt payments.
Since
we are an Employer of Record with the majority of contracted talent paid as W-2 employees who are paid known amounts, but on inconsistent
schedules; our cash inflows do not typically align with these required payments, resulting in temporary cash challenges, which is why
we employ factoring.
Vivos
Debtors as of June 30, 2023 had notes receivable totaling $5,348, including default on a $3,000 promissory note and on a $750 tax obligation
in December 2019.
It
was also anticipated that following the Merger, the Company would both access the capital markets by selling additional shares of Company
Common Stock and use shares of Company Common Stock as currency to acquire other business revenues. However, all 300 million authorized
shares of Company Common Stock were issued in connection with the Merger. No shares are expected to become available to the Company until
the legal dispute with the Vivos Debtors and Vivos Group is resolved. At that point, the Board and/or the shareholders can decide whether
to amend the Company’s Certificate of Formation to increase the number of authorized shares of Company Common Stock or approve
a reverse-split of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock to provide additional shares for these purposes. Under the Arbitration
Award, it is possible that shares may be returned to treasury which may give the Board greater flexibility in selling shares or using
shares to acquire other businesses. No timetable has been set as to when any of these events might take place.
Over
the past three years MMG received eligible forgiven PPP Loan totaling $5,216, ERC cash of $4,676, which has bolstered working capital
enabling us to invest in software and hire needed resources for operations. On April 29, 2023, we received our final ERC check from the
IRS for $1,203 which was for our second quarter 2021’s eligible ERC 941X submission and eligible interest.
Overall,
these programs bolstered our working capital and enabled us to bring back employees and continue to serve our clients.
As
of June 30, 2023, our working capital was $8,220, compared to $8,645 at the end of December 2022. Our adjusted working capital at the
end of June 2023, excluding the notes receivable related to the Vivos Debtors totals $2,871 compared to 3,394 at the end of 2022.

4. Risk Controls and Procedures
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures . The
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end
of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed
in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods

1. Legal Proceedings
On
or about February 25, 2020, the Company, as plaintiff, filed a complaint with the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland against
Vivos Holdings, LLC, Vivos Real Estate Holdings, LLC, and Dr. Doki, to enforce Maslow’s rights under certain promissory notes and
a personal guarantee made by the defendants.
On
August 9, 2021, Reliability filed an additional claim in the Debt Collection Suit and Vivos Default Counterclaim in the Circuit Court
of Montgomery County, Maryland against Doki, Valleru, Pathuri, Janumpally, Igly, and Judos, that the Respondents breached the Merger
Agreement in a number of significant respects and committed fraud in connection with the Merger.
On
September 7, 2021, the Company entered in Arbitration and Tolling Agreements with alleged shareholder Naveen Doki, M.D., and his affiliates
and all other persons who were parties to the pending litigation previously reported in the Texas, New York and Maryland courts and before
the American Arbitration Association. The Agreements call for the stay or dismissal of the pending litigation, with the parties agreeing
to resolve their disputes before a single arbitrator in Maryland. The parties also agreed to maintain the status quo in corporate governance
and related matters pending a final non-appealable judgment confirming any award in arbitration. The parties also signed a Tolling Agreement
to toll the statute of limitations following the dismissal of a pending litigation.
On
August 2, 2022, VREH filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection in the District Court of Maryland. This action prevented the Arbitrator
from providing any ruling relating to Note II in the arbitration case at the time of his award.
On
August 24, 2022, the Company filed a motion to stay the VREH Bankruptcy filing to allow the Arbitrator to rule on the claims against
VREH. The motion to lift the stay was granted by the court on September 16, 2022 after the initial award by the Arbitrator.
On
August 31, 2022, the Arbitrator issued an award (the “Award”) with the Company with MMG prevailing on their claims. The Company
and MMG were awarded the following:
●
an
award in favor of MMG against Vivos under Note I (as defined in the Award) in the amount of $3,458, with interest thereon from June
30, 2022, at the rate of 4.5% per year;
●
no
award as to Note II (as defined in the Award) until and at such time as the automatic stay imposed by the United States Bankruptcy
Court as a result of the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by VREH is lifted or the bankruptcy proceeding is terminated;
●
an
award in favor of MMG against Vivos under Note III (as defined in the Award) in the amount of $800, with interest thereon from June
30, 2022, at the rate of 2.5% per year, plus collection costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in the effort
to collect Note III;
●
an
award in favor of MMG against Naveen under the Personal Guaranty (as defined in the Award) in the amount of $2,309, plus interest
thereon at the rate of 6% per year from the date of the Award;
●
an
award in favor of the Company against Naveen, Valleru, Janumpally, individually and as Trustee of Judos Trust, and Pathuri, as Trustee
of Igly Trust, jointly and severally, for contract damages of $1,000, to be satisfied by the transfer of their shares of the Company
common stock to the Company equal in value to $1,000, valued as of the date of the Award, in accordance with the provisions of Section
9.06(d) of the Merger Agreement;
●
an
award in favor of the Company against Naveen, Valleru, Janumpally, individually and as Trustee of Judos Trust, and Pathuri, as Trustee
of Igly Trust, jointly and severally, for fraud damages in the amount of $4,327, plus interest thereon at the rate of 6% per year
from the date of the Award, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including attorneys’ and accountants’
fees;
●
an
award appointing a rehabilitative receiver for the Company under the deadlock situation provisions of Section 11.404(a)(1)(B) of
the Texas Business Organizations Code, the primary function of which is to collect the contract and fraud damages, including costs,
expenses and fees provided in the Award, due to the Company, with matters regarding such receivership to be set forth in a supplemental
award; and
●
declaratory
relief in favor of the Company and its officers and directors.
21
Section
11.404(a)(1)(B) of the Texas Business Organizations Code provides for the appointment of a rehabilitative receiver when “the governing
persons of the entity are deadlocked in the management of the entity’s affairs, the owners or members of the entity are unable
to break the deadlock, and irreparable injury to the entity is being suffered or is threatened because of the deadlock.” With respect
to the receivership, the owners or holders of all of the shares of common stock of the Company received as a result of the conversion
of 1,600 shares of common stock of MMG owed by Naveen and Valleru under the Merger Agreement shall not be entitled to vote any of those
shares at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders of the Company during the period of the receivership. Upon the completion
of the receiver’s primary function of collecting damages due to the Company, the receivership shall terminate and the restrictions
on the rights of the shareholders of the Company imposed by the Award shall be lifted.
On
May 17, 2023, the Arbitrator issued an Amended and Supplemental Arbitration Award (the “Amended Award”) in which included
the following:
●
the
arbitrator will appoint a rehabilitative receiver under Maryland law in a Supplemental Award Appointing Rehabilitative Receiver;
●
an
award in favor of MMG and against VREH under Note II in the amount of $835,156 as of June 30, 2022, with interest thereafter at the rate
of 5.5% per year; and
●
because
the loss sustained by Reliability, Inc. in fraud damages (Award 6) is the same as the loss sustained by Reliability, Inc.’s
wholly-owned subsidiary, Maslow Media Group, Inc., in the nonpayment of Notes I, II, and the Personal Guaranty (Awards 1, 2, and
4), there can be only one recovery.
On
May 31, 2023, the arbitrator appointed a Rehabilitative Receiver in the above case, an assignment which the appointee accepted. We now
await the Supplemental Order Appointing the Rehabilitative Receiver.
On
June 16, 2023, we learned that the principal amount due on 22 Baltimore Road had been satisfied via sale and thus the Fairfax, Virginia
court released the VREH confessed judgement; meaning MMG no longer was no longer listed as a guarantor.
On
July 21, 2023, MMG filed a petition for attorney’s fees, as requested by the arbitrator. The arbitrator set the following remaining
schedule for submitting petitions for attorney’s fees: Vivos Holdings LLC response on August 21, 2023 and our reply on September
6, 2023.
The
following legal proceedings where Vivos Group borrowings impact MMG:
In
September 2022, MMG learned that Vivos IT, LLC lawsuit against Second Wind Consultants (“SWC”) in May 2019 included MMG as
a plaintiff. The lawsuit brought claims of Fraud in the inducement, unjust enrichment and other monetary claims against SWC. The 5 parties
suing SWC, included Vivos IT, LLC, Maslow Media Group, Suresh Venkat Doki, Naveen Doki and Silvija Valleru The lawsuit related to a debt
restructuring services agreement secured by Suresh Doki, Naveen Doki, and Silvija Valleru to assist the following then owned Vivos entities:
Maslow Media Group, Inc., Health Care Resources Network, Inc., Mettler & Michael, Inc., 360 IT Professionals, Inc. and US IT Solutions,
Inc., SWC countersued all plaintiffs on September 30, 2019 seeking to collect the balance of $403 not paid by the Vivos Group. This
was not disclosed to Maslow Management or to Reliability before the Merger closed on October 29, 2019.
Maslow
has retained Counsel and has filed a motion to include all original parties to the SWC agreement, as two of the original parties were
not in the original filings (HCRN & Media Solutions). Counsel for SWC requested an extension to the deadline to respond to this motion
but has failed to respond before the extension deadline received. The motion is currently being considered by the court. To date MMG
has spent $59 on legal fees related to this matter.

In

Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which could materially affect our business,

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely

We
are currently engaged in substantial and complex litigation and arbitration with the Vivos Group, the outcome of which could materially
harm our business and financial results.
As
more fully described in Note 6 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, we are currently
engaged in litigation and arbitration with the Vivos Group. The arbitration was brought by the Company to enforce its rights under the
Merger Agreement.
The
litigation and arbitration are substantial and complex, and they have caused and could continue to cause us to incur significant costs,
as well as distract our management over an extended period. The arbitration process may continue to substantially disrupt our business
and we cannot assure you that we will be able to resolve the litigation on terms favorable to us in any definitive time frame.
