1. Business
Corporate
Information
SCWorx, LLC (n/k/a SCW FL
Corp.) (“SCW LLC”) was a privately held limited liability company which was organized in Florida on November 17, 2016. On
December 31, 2017, SCW LLC acquired Primrose Solutions, LLC (“Primrose”), a Delaware limited liability company, which became
its wholly-owned subsidiary and focused on developing functionality for the software now used and sold by SCWorx Corp. (the “Company”
or “SCWorx”). The majority interest holders of Primrose were interest holders of SCW LLC and based upon Staff Accounting Bulletin
Topic 5G, the technology acquired has been accounted for at predecessor cost of $0. To facilitate the planned acquisition by Alliance
MMA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Alliance”), on June 27, 2018, SCW LLC merged with and into a newly-formed entity, SCWorx
Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SCW Acquisition”), with SCW Acquisition being the surviving entity. Subsequently,
on August 17, 2018, SCW Acquisition changed its name to SCWorx Corp. On November 30, 2018, the Company and certain of its stockholders
agreed to cancel 6,510 shares of common stock. In June 2018, the Company began to collect subscriptions for common stock. From June to
November 2018, the Company collected $1,250,000 in subscriptions and issued 3,125 shares of common stock to new third-party investors.
In addition, on February 1, 2019, (i) SCWorx Corp. (f/k/a SCWorx Acquisition Corp.) changed its name to SCW FL Corp. (to allow Alliance
to change its name to SCWorx Corp.) and (ii) Alliance acquired SCWorx Corp. (n/k/a SCW FL Corp.) in a stock-for-stock exchange transaction
and changed Alliance’s name to SCWorx Corp., which is the Company’s current name, with SCW FL Corp. becoming the Company’s
subsidiary. On March 16, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, SCWorx established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Direct-Worx, LLC.
Our
principal executive offices are located at 590 Madison Avenue, 21 st Floor, New York, New York, 10022. Our telephone
number is (844) 472-9679.

“we,” “us” and “our” refer to SCWorx, Corp. (f/k/a Alliance MMA, Inc.). Unless specified otherwise,
the historical financial results in this Annual Report are those of SCWorx and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Business Combination and Related Transactions
On February 1, 2019, Alliance
MMA completed the acquisition of SCWorx, changed its name to SCWorx Corp., changed its ticker symbol to “WORX”, and effected
a one-for-nineteen reverse stock split of its common stock, which combined the 100,000,000 Alliance shares of common stock issued to the
Company’s shareholders into 5,263,158 shares of common stock of the newly combined company.

transaction.
Our
Business
SCWorx
is a leading provider of data content and services related to the repair, normalization and interoperability of information for
healthcare providers, as well as big data analytics for the healthcare industry.
SCWorx
has developed and markets health care information technology solutions and associated services that improve healthcare processes
and information flow within hospitals and other healthcare facilities. SCWorx’s software enables a healthcare provider to
simplify and organize its data (“data normalization”), allows the data to be utilized across multiple internal software
applications (“interoperability”) and provides the basis for sophisticated data analytics (“big data”).
Customers use our software to achieve multiple operational benefits, such as supply chain cost reductions, decreased accounts
receivables aging, accelerated and completed patient billing in less than 72 hours, contract optimization, increased supply chain
management and total cost visibility via dynamic AI connections that automatically structures, repairs, synchronizes and maintains
purchasing (“MMIS”), Clinical (“EMR”) and finance (“CDM”) systems. SCWorx’s customers
include some of the most prestigious healthcare organizations in the United States. SCWorx offers an advanced software solution
for the management of health care providers’ foundational business applications, empowering its customers to significantly
reduce costs, drive better clinical outcomes and enhance their revenue. SCWorx supports the interrelationship between the three
core healthcare provider systems: Supply Chain, Financial and Clinical. This solution integrates common keys within distinct and
variable databases that allows the repaired foundational data to move seamlessly from one application to another enabling our
Customers to drive supply chain cost reductions, optimize contracts, increase supply chain management (“SCM”), cost
visibility, control rebates and contract administration fees.
Currently,
the business systems of hospitals are frequently deficient and often unconnected from each other. These deficiencies in part result
from the vast amount of unstructured, manually created and managed data that proliferates within the hospital’s supply chain,
clinical and billing systems. SCWorx’s solutions are designed to improve the flow of information quickly and accurately
between the buy-side (supply chain purchasing systems), the consumption-side (clinical documentation systems like the electronic
medical records (“EMR”)) and billing and collection systems (patient billing systems). The currently poor state of
interoperability limits the potential value of each independent system and requires significant expense and extensive human resource
commitments from senior personnel to stay ahead of problems and complete basic administrative tasks. SCWorx provides an information
service that ultimately leads to safer, more cost effective and financially efficient patient care.
1
SCWorx
has demonstrated that in order for the core hospital systems to function properly there must be a Single Source of Truth (“SSOT”)
for all products utilized and ultimately billed for. The Item Master File (“IMF”), which is a database of all known
products used in hospital and health care settings, must be accurate at all times and expanded upon to hold both clinical and
financial attributes. An accurate and expanded Item Master File supports interoperability between the supply chain, clinical and
financial systems by delivering, on demand, reports detailing the purchasing, utilization and revenue associated with each and
every item used, allowing hospitals to better manage their business. The Single Source of Truth establishes a common vernacular
and syntax, while assigning a consistent meaning across the healthcare provider’s core systems and accurately migrating
data from one application to another and removing disconnects between critical business systems.
SCWorx’s
software solutions are delivered to clients within a fixed term period, where such software is hosted in SCWorx’s data center
and accessed by the client through a secure connection in a software as a service (“SaaS”) delivery method.
SCWorx
sells its solutions and services in the United States to hospitals and health systems through its distribution and reseller partnerships.
SCWorx’s
Software Solutions/Services
SCWorx
empowers healthcare providers to maintain comprehensive access and visibility to an advanced business intelligence that enables
better decision-making and reductions in product costs and utilization, ultimately leading to accelerated and accurate patient
billing. SCWorx’s software modules perform separate functions as follows.
●
Virtualized
Item Master File repair, expansion and automation — The process begins with data normalization — data is put into
a simplified and normalized structure and location for use throughout the enterprise. The SCWorx software normalizes, automates
and builds interoperability via advanced attribution, vendor and contract mapping, product categorization, repairing the unit
of measure and establishing revenue codes and flags. SCWorx improves the healthcare providers’ business processes through
the establishment of a clean and normalized Item Master File that improves efficiencies, eliminates cumbersome and error-prone
manual processes, and provides an integrated cloud-based suite of services that enhances the productivity of operating room
staff, supply chain margins and billing revenue through the seamless sharing and accuracy of critical business data.
●
Electronic
Medical Record Management — The Electronic Medical Record (EMR) module integrates the advanced data attributes created
by SCWorx in the Item Master into the EMR. The EMR serves as the database that hospitals use to document all clinical procedures
in terms of the products used and the costs that should be charged. What makes this module special is that prior to its creation
there was no mechanism that tied product purchases to actual utilization. Hospitals, being mass consumption businesses, had
no way to identify excess ordering that always accompanies mass consumption organizations. In addition, the automation and
consistency of delivered attributes dramatically reduces the administrative burden as today these additional attributes are
being created by expensive clinical resources manually — over and over again by each hospital. The SCWorx EMR management
system creates one vernacular for each hospital so they see the data in a manner that suits them — and then creates
a universal vernacular so they can see their performance against other like institutions.
●
Charge
Description Master Management — The Charge Description Master (CDM) Management module assists healthcare providers by
integrating the CDM data into the workflow of the hospitals purchasing systems so that the latest costs can be automatically
updated against the hospitals charging systems. The CDM data provided by SCWorx is made more accurate, and the resulting data
is integrated to the Item Master for real-time delivery to the EMR — this data is the last remaining piece of information
that is consumed by the EMR and passed ultimately to the patient billing systems. SCWorx provides real-time integration, automation
and management of Item Master File, Clinical Information Systems and the Charge Description Master.
●
Contract
Management — SCWorx’s Contract Management Module assists healthcare providers to establish an efficient contract
management system and to provide first class care to patients, while reducing operating costs, assuring adherence to compliance
requirements, and mitigating risk. By linking the Item Master File to the healthcare providers contract management system
and procedures, SCWorx simplifies the way contracts are managed from start to finish by streamlining the processes of creating,
routing, reviewing and approving contracts. SCWorx delivers a data warehouse platform which integrates item master management,
spend analysis, and contract management. These solutions enable financial staff across the healthcare provider to drill down
quickly and deeply into actionable and real-time financial data and key performance indicators to improve revenue realization
and staff efficiency. This suite of solutions includes the ability to automatically push price changes to a contract, compliance
for standard and non-standard products, contract compliance and optimization reporting, reliable cost data for current and
alternate products, cost performance metrics, matching purchase order price to contract and contract repository.
2
●
Request
for Proposal (“RFP”) Automation — With the reality of shrinking operating margins, increasing operating
expenses and decreasing insurance reimbursements, hospitals must evaluate all major expenditures. In addition, requirements
for provable quality of service supported by trackable metrics now frequently necessitate the search for better options available
in the marketplace. Since hospital-based provider subsidies are often a major expense item and since there are often perceived
opportunities for quality improvement, it is a reasonable practice for hospital leadership to carefully evaluate all of their
current hospital-based services and associated financial support before each contract renegotiation. The proliferation of
large regional and national providers, with their ability to derive benefits from economies of scale, have made RFPs much
more of a competitive process. Hospital administrators, however, often rely on poor or conflicting data when creating an RFP.
Through the integration and utilization of the SSOT SCWorx automates the RFP process and makes it more accurate. SCWorx automates
the core sourcing processes with the intention to accelerate cycle times, surveys and confirms business preferred processes,
designs and builds a flow chart for the current and desired workflows, cross references bid analysis, implements bid scoring,
customizes software to support automation and customizes the report writer and output documents.
●
Integration
of Acquired Businesses — The agnostic design of the SCWorx solution enables rapid deployment of a virtual Item Master
File to quickly and easily allow combining healthcare providers to share information and achieve cost synergies and interoperability
without large and cumbersome upgrades or implementations. During the consolidation of healthcare providers, SCWorx cleans
the data and makes the data available to the disparate systems. In addition, M&A activity requires in-depth reporting
for comparison of Group Purchasing Organization (“GPO”) contract overlap. When healthcare providers that use different
GPOs merge, or are acquired, there is a lack of information to compare contracts. SCWorx provides information for comparative
purposes to solve these issues rapidly.
●
Rebate
Management — Frequently, vendors use rebates and incentives as a key part of their pricing strategy and structure when
selling to hospitals. This tactic makes pricing more attractive to healthcare providers. When tracked through Accounts Payable,
and issued correctly, rebates can help healthcare organizations save money. At any large healthcare provider, vendor rebates
can be difficult to manage since they require a multi-step process to track dollars earned, credits issued, and monies paid.
Rebates frequently cause tracking challenges for Accounts Payable departments. Inconsistent tracking is the primary problem
for loss of savings with vendor rebate programs. SCWorx’s Rebate Management Module enables healthcare providers to correctly
calculate and track rebates provided by healthcare provider vendors. Purchasing or Contracting departments monitor rebates
by creating and maintaining a Rebates Master List which is provided to the Accounts Payable department. To assist in this
cumbersome process, SCWorx provides information from the SSOT, such as historical data, frequent updates, advanced administrative
fee reporting, purchase rebate tracking, early payment/discount management and Vendor Master Data alignment.
●
Big
Data Analytics Model — SCWorx provides an in-depth, easy-to-use web portal for display, reporting and analysis of the
information contained within the SCWorx data warehouse. SCWorx’s analytics solution enables healthcare providers to
view benchmarking information, quickly add new items to the SSOT and identify cost savings through this real-time and on-demand
solution. In addition to simplifying the item add process, SCWorx provides peer comparison reporting against similar healthcare
providers and a list of informative reports for business measurement, such as spend trend analysis, contract gap analysis,
market price comparison, etc. The SCWorx product line is a simplified user experience and visual display for the hospital
employee which does not require access to the SCWorx application.
●
Data
Integration and Warehousing — Healthcare providers maintain a significant amount of data. In many cases the data is
not useful for analytics since the data is held within an individual “silo.” SCWorx establishes an expandable,
data warehouse of items that have been normalized, repaired and enriched as the SSOT for useful benchmarking, interoperability
and analytics. SCWorx’s data warehouse allows healthcare providers to effectively use the data contained in their environment
and efficiently establish the supply chain as a leading driver of revenue cycle management. The data warehouse is updated
as frequently as every five minutes without intervention.

existing business rules.
Direct-Worx
— In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,
SCWorx established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Direct-Worx, LLC, with the intention of
utilizing the SCWorx database to identify trends within the purchasing supply chain and
then use this information to assist the Company in its endeavors to provide critical,
difficult-to-find items for the healthcare industry.
■
The
Company sought to provide COVID-19 Rapid Test Kits and PPE — Personal Protective
Equipment to the healthcare industry. PPE includes items such as masks, gloves, gowns,
shields, etc.
The
Company has extensive experience in the healthcare industry and industry contacts, and a database of items specifically designated
to assist the healthcare industry in fulfilling its inventory demands.
The
sale of PPE and rapid test kits for COVID-19 represented a new business for the Company and is subject to the myriad risks associated
with any new venture. The Company encountered great difficulty in attempting to secure reliable sources of supply for both COVID-19
Rapid Test Kits and PPE The Company currently has no contracted supply of Rapid Test Kits or PPE. During the year ended December
31, 2020, the Company has completed only minimal sales of COVID-19 rapid test kits and PPE. In addition, changes in market conditions
and FDA processes governing the sale of COVID-19 serology tests could have the effect of rendering the COVID-19 serology tests
held by the Company not saleable in the United States, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate any significant revenue
from the sale of PPE products or rapid test kits, and as of the date of this report, the Company has not generated any material
revenue from the sale of PPE or rapid test kits.
The
Company is no longer actively seeking to procure and sell Test Kits or PPE. Instead, the Company is focused on selling its current inventory
of PPE and Test Kits. The Company may receive commissions for acting as an intermediary with respect to the sale of PPE and/or Test Kits.
However, there is no assurance the Company will realize any material revenue from these activities.

Clients
and Strategic Partners
SCWorx
continues to provide transformational data-driven solutions to some of the finest, most well-respected healthcare providers in
the United States. Clients are geographically dispersed throughout the country and the continued focus is to assist healthcare
providers with issues they have pertaining to data interoperability. SCWorx provides these solutions through a combination of
direct sales and relationships with strategic partners.
Competition
SCWorx
competes against a variety of vendors and smaller companies which provide solutions in the specific markets we address. Our principal
competitors include:
●
purchasing
departments that have limited budgets and may be attempting to manually repair the item master file;
●
large
companies with a long list of products and services and small companies which may provide item master normalization and data
cleanse services;
●
software
companies or service providers, as well as small, specialized vendors, that provide complementary or competitive solutions
in benchmarking or data analytics and data warehousing that may compete with our offerings; and
●
large
national medical supply companies which distribute PPE products and rapid test kits, such as Medline Industries, Inc.
Some
of our actual and perceived competitors have advantages over us, such as longer operating histories, greater financial, technical,
marketing or other resources, stronger brand and business user recognition, larger intellectual property portfolios, broader distribution
and presence, and competitive pricing. In addition, our industry is evolving rapidly and is becoming increasingly competitive.
Barriers
to entry to the data management market include technological and application sophistication, the ability to offer a proven product,
creating and utilizing a well-established client base and distribution channels, brand recognition, the ability to provide agnostic
interoperability and to operate on a variety of MMIS, EMR and financial platforms, the ability to integrate with pre-existing
systems and capital for sustained development and marketing activities. There are few barriers to entry to the PPE/test kit distribution
business.
SCWorx
believes that these obstacles taken together represent a moderate to high-level barrier to entry on the data management side of
our business. The principal competitive factors in our markets are product features, functionality and support, product depth
and breadth (number of items in the central data warehouse), flexibility, ease of deployment and use, total cost of ownership
and time to value. We believe that we generally compete favorably on the basis of these factors. For example, besides our agnostic
interoperability, additional key strengths include the SCWorx data warehouse, which exceeds 12 million items, SCWorx Big Data
analytics and benchmarking.
Contracts,
License and Service Fees
SCWorx
enters into agreements with its clients that specify the scope of the solution to be installed and/or services to be provided
by SCWorx, as well as the agreed-upon aggregate price, applicable duration and the timetable for the associated licenses and services.
For
clients purchasing software to be installed locally or provided on a SaaS model, these are multi-element arrangements that include
a term license granting the right to access the applicable software functionality (whether installed locally at the client site
or the right to use our company’s solutions as a part of SaaS services), terms regarding maintenance and support services,
terms for any third-party components such as infrastructure and software, and professional services for implementation, integration,
process engineering, optimization and training, as well as fees and payment terms for each of the foregoing. If the client purchases
solutions on a long-term license model, the client may be billed the license fee up front or on a monthly or quarterly basis.
Maintenance and support are provided on a term basis for separate fees, with an initial term of typically three to five years.
The license, maintenance and support fee is charged annually in advance, commencing either upon contract execution or deployment
of the solution in live production. If the client purchases solutions on a term-based model, the client is billed periodically
a combined access fee for a specified term, typically three to five years in length.
5
SCWorx
also generally provides software and SaaS client’s professional services for implementation, integration, process engineering,
and optimization and training. These services and the associated fees are separate from the license, maintenance and access fees.
Professional services are provided on either a fixed-fee or hourly arrangements billable to clients based on agreed-to payment
milestones (fixed fee) or monthly payment structure on hours incurred (hourly). These services can either be included at the time
the related SaaS solution is licensed as part of the initial purchase agreement or added on afterward as an addendum to the existing
agreement for services required after the initial implementation.
For
one-time data normalization services clients, these normalization services are provided either through a stand-alone services
agreement or services addendum to an existing master agreement with the client. These normalization services are available as
either a one-time service or recurring monthly, quarterly or annual review structure. These services are typically provided on
a per item basis. Payment typically occurs upon completion of the applicable normalization project. The commencement of revenue
recognition varies depending on the size and complexity of the system and/or services involved, the implementation or performance
schedule requested by the client and usage by clients of SaaS for software-based components. SCWorx’s agreements are generally
non-cancelable but provide that the client may terminate its agreement upon a material breach by SCWorx and/or may delay certain
aspects of the installation or associated payments in such events. SCWorx does allow for termination for convenience in certain
situations. SCWorx also includes trial or evaluation periods for certain clients, especially for new or modified solutions. Therefore,
it is difficult for SCWorx to accurately predict the revenue it expects to achieve in any particular period, and a termination
or installation delay of one or more phases of an agreement, or the failure of SCWorx to procure additional agreements, could
have a material adverse effect on SCWorx’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Historically, SCWorx
has not experienced a material amount of contract cancellations; however, SCWorx sometimes experiences delays during contract
implementation, and SCWorx accounts for them accordingly.
Third
Party License Fees
SCWorx
incorporates software licensed from various third-party vendors into its proprietary software. Stand-alone third-party software
is also required to operate certain of SCWorx’s proprietary software and/or SaaS services. SCWorx licenses these software
products and pays the required license fees when such software is delivered to clients.
PPE
and Rapid Test Kit Products
We are endeavoring to sell our existing inventory of PPE products
primarily through use of our internal and external sales personnel. Through the date of filing we have not had significant sales of PPE
products.
CageTix
Ticketing Platform
In 2020, the majority of paid tickets for regional MMA events were
sold by the fighters appearing on the event fight card. Referred to as “fighter consigned” tickets, sales are generally made
in face-to-face cash transactions. The CageTix event ticketing platform allowed regional promoters to control the ticketing sales chain.
The CageTix platform provided benefits to regional promotions, including the security of credit/debit card sales processing, immediate
revenue recognition, and real time sales reporting. Due to the Covid restrictions which were put in place for large gatherings, SCWorx
has paused business activity for Cagetix.
Property
The
company does not own any real property. The principal executive offices are located at an office complex in New York, New York,
consisting of shared office space that we are leasing. The lease had an original one-year term that commenced on December 1, 2015,
which was renewed until November 30, 2018 and now is under a month-to-month lease agreement. The lease allows for the limited
use of private offices, conference rooms, mail handling, videoconferencing, and certain other business services.
The
company also has a lease for office space in Greenwich, Connecticut which expired in March 2020 and is now Month-to-month.

Government
Regulation
Management
believes that governmental regulation is not material to our current core data management business.
The sale of tests to identify
antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the blood (i.e., COVID-19 serology tests) in the United States is subject to regulation by the US
Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In order for such COVID-19 serology tests to be sold in the United States, they must be authorized
for sale by the FDA, either by being cleared under FDA’s 510(k) pathway, approved under FDA’s Premarket Approval pathway,
or, more commonly, authorized under the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) process developed by FDA for COVID-19 serology tests during
the duration of the current public health emergency.
The Company believes that the COVID-19 serology tests held by the
Company will conform with the FDA EUA process for COVID-19 serology tests and therefore can be lawfully distributed in the United States.
Changes in FDA processes governing the sale of COVID-19 serology tests could have the effect of rendering the COVID-19 serology tests
to be sold by the Company not saleable in the United States, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Intellectual
Property
We
protect our intellectual property rights by relying on federal, state and common law rights, as well as contractual restrictions.
We control access to our proprietary technology by entering into confidentiality agreements, invention assignment agreements and
work for hire agreements with our employees and contractors, and confidentiality agreements with third parties. We further control
the use of our proprietary technology and intellectual property through provisions in our websites’ terms of use. Agreements
between the Company and end-users includes a license agreement in which a non-transferable non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, limited
use license to use the licensed products for the duration of the service order. Customers may not modify, copy, translate, decompile,
disassemble, reverse engineer, loan, rent, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works of the licensed products, in whole or
in part. Customer agrees to maintain software and data as Confidential Information.
The
Company currently hosts our solution, serves our customers, and supports our operations in the United States through an agreement
with a third party hosting and infrastructure provider, Rackspace. The Company incorporates standard IT security measures, including
but not limited to; firewalls, disaster recovery, backup, etc.
Circumstances
outside our control could pose a threat to our intellectual property rights. For example, effective intellectual property protection
may not be available in the United States or other countries in which we seek protection of our marks or our copyrighted works.
Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment
of our intellectual property rights may harm our business or our ability to compete.
Seasonality
We
do not believe that SCWorx’s revenues are impacted by seasonality.
Employees
As
of December 31, 2020, we had 9 employees, of which 2 were management and finance and the rest in operations. We primarily utilize
independent contractors and third-part vendors for software, maintenance of our database and customer software installation.
Legal
Proceedings
In
conducting our business, we may become involved in legal proceedings. We will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable
that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established,
the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within
the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might include, for example,
estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred.
On
April 29, 2020, a securities class action case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York against us and our CEO. The action is captioned Daniel Yannes, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiff vs. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants.
On
May 27, 2020, a second securities class was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against
us and our CEO. The action is captioned Caitlin Leeburn, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff
v. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants.
On
June 23, 2020, a third securities class was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against
us and our CEO. The action is captioned Jonathan Charles Leonard, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiff v. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants.
7
All
three lawsuits allege that our company and our CEO mislead investors in connection with our April 13, 2020 press release with
respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits. The plaintiffs in these actions are seeking unspecified monetary damages. These
three class actions were consolidated on September 18, 2020 and Daniel Yannes was designated lead plaintiff. A consolidated Amended
Complaint (“CAC”) was filed on October 19, 2020. The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the CAC on November 18,
2020, and the briefing on that motion was complete on January 8, 2021. We are still awaiting a ruling on the motion, and we intend
to continue vigorously defending against this lawsuit.
On
June 15, 2020, a shareholder derivative claim was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
against Marc S. Schessel, Steven Wallitt (current directors), and Robert Christie and Charles Miller (former directors) (“Director
Defendants”). The action is captioned Javier Lozano, derivatively on behalf of SCWorx Corp., Plaintiff, v. Marc S. Schessel,
Charles K. Miller, Steven Wallitt, Defendants, and SCWorx Corp., Nominal Defendant. This lawsuit alleges that the Director Defendants
breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, including by misleading investors in connection with our April 13, 2020 press
release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits, failing to correct false and misleading statements and failing to
implement proper disclosure and internal controls. The Plaintiff, on our behalf, is seeking an award of monetary damages, improvements
in our disclosure and internal controls, and legal fees. The Director Defendants intend to vigorously defend against these proceedings.
This derivative action is also still pending, and the plaintiff in such action has agreed to voluntarily stay the case until a
ruling on a motion to dismiss, which we intend to file in the securities class action case.
On
August 21, 2020, a shareholder derivative claim was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York against Marc S. Schessel, Steven Wallitt (current directors), and Robert Christie and Charles Miller (former directors) (“Director
Defendants”). The action is captioned Josstyn Richter, derivatively on behalf of SCWorx Corp., Plaintiff, v. Marc S. Schessel,
Charles K. Miller, Steven Wallitt, Defendants, and SCWorx Corp., Nominal Defendant. This lawsuit alleges that the Director Defendants
breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, including by misleading investors in connection with our April 13, 2020 press
release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits, failing to correct false and misleading statements and failing to
implement proper disclosure and internal controls. The Plaintiff, on our behalf, is seeking an award of monetary damages, improvements
in our disclosure and internal controls, and legal fees. The Director Defendants intend to vigorously defend against these proceedings.
On
August 27, 2020, the Lozano and Richter derivative actions were consolidated and jointly stayed until a ruling on a motion to
dismiss which we filed in the securities class action case.
On
September 30, 2020, a shareholder derivative action was filed in the Supreme Court State of New York, New York County against
Marc S. Schessel and Steven Wallitt (current directors) and Charles Miller (a former director). The action is captioned Hemrita
Zarins, derivatively on behalf of SCWorx Corp. v. Marc S. Schessel, Charles Miller, Steven Wallitt and SCWorx, Nominal Defendant.
This lawsuit alleges that the Director Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, including by misleading investors
in connection with the Company’s April 13, 2020 press release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits, failing
to correct false and misleading statements and failing to implement proper disclosure and internal controls. The Plaintiff, on
our behalf, is seeking an award of monetary damages, improvements in our disclosure and internal controls, and legal fees. On
October 28, 2020, Zarins withdrew this action and refiled an action in the Chancery Court in the State of Delaware on October
29, 2020. Zarins named as Defendants Marc S. Schessel, Robert Christie (a former director), Steven Wallitt and SCWorx, Nominal
Defendant. The allegations, as well as the relief sought, in the Delaware Chancery Court proceeding are substantially the same
as that filed in the New York State Action. This action has been stayed pending the ruling on the motion to dismiss in the aforementioned
securities class action. The Director Defendants intend to vigorously defend against these proceedings.
In
addition, following the April 13, 2020 press release and related disclosures (related to COVID-19 rapid test kits), the Securities
and Exchange Commission made an inquiry regarding the disclosures we made in relation to the transaction involving COVID-19 test
kits. On April 22, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission ordered that trading in the securities of our company be suspended
because of “questions and concerns regarding the adequacy and accuracy of publicly available information in the marketplace”
(the “SEC Trading Halt”). The SEC Trading Halt expired May 5, 2020, at 11:59 PM EDT. We are fully cooperating with
the SEC’s investigation and are providing documents and other requested information.
8
In
April 2020, we received related inquiries from The Nasdaq Stock Market and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
We have been fully cooperating with these agencies and providing information and documents, as requested. On May 5, 2020, the
Nasdaq Stock Market informed us that it had initiated a “T12 trading halt,” which means the halt will remain in place
until we have fully satisfied Nasdaq’s request for additional information. We fully cooperated with Nasdaq and responded
to all of Nasdaq’s information requests as they were issued. The T12 trading halt was lifted on August 10, 2020.
Also
in April 2020, we were contacted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey, which is seeking information
and documents from our officers and directors relating primarily to the April 13, 2020 press release concerning COVID-19 rapid
test kits. We are fully cooperating with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in its investigation.
In
connection with these actions and investigations, the Company is obligated to indemnify its officers and directors for costs incurred
in defending against these claims and investigations. Because the Company currently does not have the resources to pay for these
costs, its directors and officers liability insurance carrier has agreed to indemnify these persons even though the $750,000 retention
under such policy has not yet been met. The Company estimates it is currently obligated to pay approximately $700,000 of the retention,
which payments could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The $700,000 have been accrued in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities in theses financial statements.
David
Klarman v. SCWorx Corp. f/k/a Alliance MMA, Inc.,
Index
No. 619536/2019 (N.Y. State Sup. Ct., Suffolk County)
On
October 3, 2019, David Klarman, a former employee of Alliance, served a complaint against SCWorx seeking $400,000.00
for a breach of his employment agreement with Alliance. Klarman claims that Alliance ceased paying him his salary in March 2018
as well as other alleged contractual benefits. SCWorx does not believe that it owes the amount demanded and intends to vigorously
defend against these claims. On March 6, 2020, SCWorx filed an answer and counterclaims against Mr. Klarman. On September 18,
2020, the Court granted Klarman’s counsel’s motion to withdraw as counsel due to irreconcilable differences. “The Court stayed the case for 45 days after service of the Court’s order. Mr. Klarman’s wife, Marie Klarman, Esq.,
filed a Notice of Appearance on November 6, 2020 and filed a motion on November 9, 2020 seeking various forms of relief -- in
violation of the Court’s Individual Rules and the Commercial Division Rules. We opposed Klarman’s motion on December
31, 2020 and the case was marked fully submitted on January 21, 2021. By Decision and Order dated March 26, 2021, the Court granted
Klarman’s motion to dismiss four (4) of fourteen (14) defenses, denied Klarman’s motion to dismiss SCWorx’s
counterclaims against him; denied Klarman’s motion for summary judgment and denied Klarman’s motion to strike allegations
contained in the Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaims based on his contention that such allegations were “scandalous”
or prejudicial. The Court has scheduled a conference for April 28, 2021 presumably to set a discovery schedule.
At
this time, we are unable to predict the duration, scope, or possible outcome of these investigations and lawsuits.

Item
1A. Risk Factors
Certain
factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. You should
carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, in addition to other information contained in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes. The risks and uncertainties described below are
not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties of which we are unaware, or that we currently believe are not material,
may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
If any of the following risks occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially
and adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of
your investment.
Risks
Related to Our Financial Results and Financing Plans
The
COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our business and the business of our hospital customers.
Our
operations and business have experienced disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic which
spread throughout the United States and the world. The New York and New Jersey area, where the Company is headquartered, was at
one of the epicenters of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States. The Company has followed the recommendations of local
health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its team members since the outbreak.
In
addition, the Company’s customers (hospitals) have also experienced extraordinary disruptions to their businesses and supply
chains, while experiencing unprecedented demand for health care services related to COVID-19. As a result of these extraordinary
disruptions to our customers’ business, our customers have been focused on meeting the nation’s health care needs
in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, there is a significant risk that our customers will not be able to focus any
resources on expanding the utilization of our services, which could adversely impact our future growth prospects, at least until
the adverse effects of the pandemic subside. In addition, the financial impact of COVID-19 on our hospital customers could cause
the hospital to delay payments due to us for services, which could negatively impact our cash flows.
We
have attempted to mitigate these risks through the sale of personal protective equipment (“PPE”) and COVID-19 rapid
test kits to the health care industry, including many of our hospital customers.
The
sale of PPE and rapid test kits for COVID-19 represented a new business for the Company and is subject to the myriad risks associated
with any new venture. The Company encountered great difficulty in attempting to secure reliable sources of supply for both COVID-19
Rapid Test Kits and PPE. The Company currently has no contracted supply of Rapid Test Kits or PPE. During the year ended December
31, 2020, the Company has completed only minimal sales of COVID-19 rapid test kits and PPE. In addition, changes in market conditions
and FDA processes governing the sale of COVID-19 serology tests could have the effect of rendering the COVID-19 serology tests
held by the Company not saleable in the United States, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate any significant revenue
from the sale of PPE products or rapid test kits, and as of the date of this report, the Company has not generated any material
revenue from the sale of PPE or rapid test kits.
The
Company is no longer actively seeking to procure and sell Test Kits or PPE. Instead, the Company is focused on selling its
current inventory of PPE and Test Kits. The Company may receive commissions for acting as an intermediary with respect to the
sale of PPE and/or Test Kits. However, there is no assurance the Company will realize any material revenue from these activities.
We
have a history of losses and may continue to incur losses in the future.
We
have a history of losses and may continue to incur losses in the future, which could negatively impact the trading value of our common
stock. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our revenues were $5,213,118, and we had a net loss of $7,402,350. For the year ended December
31, 2019, our revenues were $5,548,119, and we had a net loss of $11,312,500. At December 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of
$20,196,823.
10
We
incurred losses from operations of $6,045,011 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and $11,897,491 for the year ended December
31, 2019. We may continue to incur operating and net losses in future periods. These losses may increase, and we may never achieve
profitability for a variety of reasons, including increased competition, decreased growth in our target market and other factors
described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section. If we cannot achieve sustained profitability, our stockholders
may lose all or a portion of their investment in our company.
If
we are unable to grow our revenue, we may never achieve or sustain profitability.
To
become profitable, we must, among other things, increase our revenues. Our total revenues stayed relatively flat at $5,213,118
in the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $5,548,119 in the year ended December 31, 2019. However, the COVID-19 pandemic
may continue to adversely affect our near-term revenue growth. In order to become profitable and then maintain profitability,
we must, among other things, increase our revenues while dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. This adverse effect on revenue will
be exacerbated if we are unable to develop and market new products, which could help us increase our sales to existing customers
or develop new customers. Even if we are able to grow our revenues, they may not be sufficient to exceed increases in our operating
expenses or to enable us to achieve or sustain profitability.
Risks
Related to Our Business
Our
inability to obtain additional capital may prevent us from completing our business strategy and successfully operating our business;
however, additional financings may subject our existing stockholders to substantial dilution.
To
continue our growth path, we expect to finance our future expansion plans through public or private equity offerings or debt financings.
Additional funds may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not
available, we may be required to delay or reduce the scope of our business plans. To the extent that we raise additional funds
by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, debt financing, if available,
may involve restrictive covenants. We may seek to access the public or private capital markets whenever conditions are favorable,
even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital at that time. Our access to the financial markets and the pricing
and terms we receive in the financial markets could be adversely impacted by various factors, including changes in financial markets
and interest rates.
Our
future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the costs and timing of our future acquisitions.
A
failure to successfully execute our growth strategy could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects.
We
intend to continue pursuing growth through expanding our product offerings, project skill-sets and capabilities, and increase
critical mass to enable us to bid on larger contracts. We may also consider potential acquisitions if conditions permit. However,
we may be unable to find suitable acquisition candidates or to complete acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all. Moreover,
any completed acquisition may not result in the intended benefits. For example, while the historical financial and operating performance
of an acquisition target are among the criteria we evaluate in determining which acquisition targets we will pursue, there can
be no assurance that any business or assets we acquire will continue to perform in accordance with past practices or will achieve
financial or operating results that are consistent with or exceed past results. Any such failure could adversely affect our business,
financial condition or results of operations. In addition, any completed acquisition may not result in the intended benefits for
other reasons and our acquisitions will involve a number of other risks, including:
●
We
may have difficulty integrating the acquired companies;
●
Our
ongoing business and management’s attention may be disrupted or diverted by transition or integration issues and the
complexity of managing geographically or culturally diverse enterprises;
●
We
may not realize the anticipated cost savings or other financial benefits we anticipated;
11
●
We
may have difficulty retaining or hiring key personnel, customers and suppliers to maintain expanded operations;
●
Our
internal resources may not be adequate to support our operations as we expand, particularly if we are awarded a significant
number of contracts in a short time period;
●
We
may have difficulty retaining and obtaining any required regulatory approvals, licenses and permits;
●
We
may not be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to us or at all, and any such financing
could result in dilution to our stockholders, impact our ability to service our debt within the scheduled repayment terms
and include covenants or other restrictions that would impede our ability to manage our operations;
●
We
may have failed to, or be unable to, discover liabilities of the acquired companies during the course of performing our due
diligence; and
●
We
may be required to record additional goodwill as a result of an acquisition, which will reduce our tangible net worth.
Any
of these risks could prevent us from executing our acquisition growth strategy, which could adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects.
Our
contracts may require us to perform extra or change order work, which can result in disputes and adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Our
contracts generally require us to perform extra or change order work as directed by the customer, even if the customer has not
agreed in advance on the scope or price of the extra work to be performed. This process may result in disputes over whether the
work performed is beyond the scope of the work included in the original project plans and specifications or, if the customer agrees
that the work performed qualifies as extra work, the price that the customer is willing to pay for the extra work. Even when the
customer agrees to pay for the extra work, we may be required to fund the cost of such work for a lengthy period of time until
the change order is approved by the customer and we are paid by the customer.
We
derive a significant portion of our revenue from a few customers and the loss of one of these customers, or a reduction in their
demand for our services, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Our
customer base is highly concentrated. Due to the size and nature of our contracts, one or a few customers have represented a substantial
portion of our consolidated revenues and gross profits in any one year or over a period of consecutive years. Two customers accounted
for approximately 22% and 17%, respectively, of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2020. Two customers accounted for approximately
19% and 10%, respectively, of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2019. Revenues under our contracts with significant customers
may continue to vary from period to period depending on the timing or volume of work that those customers contract from us. A
limited number of customers may continue to comprise a substantial portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future.
Because
we do not maintain any reserves for payment defaults, a default or delay in payment on a significant scale could adversely affect
our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We could lose business from a significant customer for
a variety of reasons, including:
●
the
consolidation, merger or acquisition of an existing customer, resulting in a change in procurement strategies employed by
the surviving entity that could reduce the amount of work we receive;
●
our
performance on individual contracts or relationships with one or more significant customers could become impaired due to another
reason, which may cause us to lose future business with such customers and, as a result, our ability to generate income would
be adversely impacted;
12
●
key
customers could slow or stop spending on initiatives related to projects we are performing for them due to increased difficulty
in the markets as a result of economic downturns or other reasons.
Since
many of our customer contracts allow our customers to terminate the contract without cause, our customers may terminate their
contracts with us at will, which could impair our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
There
is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our
auditors have indicated in their report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 that conditions exist
that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern since we may not have sufficient capital resources
from operations and existing financing arrangements to meet our operating expenses and working capital requirements.
As of December 31, 2020, we
had only limited cash on hand, a working capital deficit of $2,414,635 and accumulated deficit of $20,196,823. During the year ended December
31, 2020, we had a net loss of $7,402,350 and used $959,070 of cash in operations. We have historically incurred operating losses and
may continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. We believe that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. This may hinder our future ability to obtain financing or may force us to obtain financing on
less favorable terms than would otherwise be available. If we are unable to develop sufficient revenues and additional customers for our
products and services, we may not generate enough revenue to sustain our business, and we may fail, in which case our stockholders would
suffer a total loss of their investment. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
To
the extent that actual recoveries with respect to change orders or amounts subject to contract disputes or claims are less than
the estimates used in our financial statements, the amount of any shortfall will reduce our future revenues and profits, and this
could adversely affect our reported working capital and results of operations. In addition, any delay caused by the extra work
may adversely impact the timely scheduling of other project work and our ability to meet specified contract milestone dates.
Our
failure to adequately expand our direct sales force will impede our growth.
We
will need to expand and optimize our sales infrastructure in order to grow our customer base and our business. We plan to expand
our account management/sales force when we have sufficient capital to do so. Identifying and recruiting qualified personnel and
training them requires significant time, expense and attention. If we are unable to hire, develop and retain talented account
management/sales personnel or if the personnel are unable to achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time,
we may not be able to realize the intended benefits of this investment or increase our revenue.
If
we are unable to attract and retain qualified executive officers and managers, we will be unable to operate efficiently, which
could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We
depend on the continued efforts and abilities of our management, to establish and maintain our customer relationships and identify
strategic opportunities. The loss of any one of them could negatively affect our ability to execute our business strategy and
adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Competition for managerial talent with
significant industry experience is high, and we may lose access to executive officers for a variety of reasons, including more
attractive compensation packages offered by our competitors. Although we have entered into employment agreements with certain
of our senior level management, we cannot guarantee that any of them or other key management personnel will remain employed by
us for any length of time.
Fines,
judgments and other consequences resulting from our failure to comply with regulations or adverse outcomes in litigation proceedings
could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
From
time to time, we may be involved in lawsuits and regulatory actions, including class action lawsuits that are brought or threatened
against us in the ordinary course of business. These actions may seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury,
workers’ compensation, violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and state wage and hour laws, employment discrimination,
breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties, and consequential damages or other losses, or injunctive
or declaratory relief.

Please
refer to Item 3. Legal Proceedings of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed description of the pending legal actions
and investigations.
Any
defects or errors, or failures to meet our customers’ expectations could result in large damage claims against us. Claimants
may seek large damage awards and, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome
of any such proceedings. Any failure to properly estimate or manage cost, or delay in the completion of projects, could subject
us to penalties.
The
ultimate resolution of these matters through settlement, mediation or court judgment could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Regardless of the outcome of any litigation, these proceedings could
result in substantial cost and may require us to devote substantial resources to defend ourselves. When appropriate, we establish
reserves for litigation and claims that we believe to be adequate in light of current information, legal advice and professional
indemnity insurance coverage, and we adjust such reserves from time to time according to developments. If our reserves are inadequate
or insurance coverage proves to be inadequate or unavailable, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects
may suffer.
If
we are required to reclassify independent contractors as employees, we may incur additional costs and taxes which could adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We
use a significant number of independent contractors in our operations for whom we do not pay or withhold any federal or state
employment tax. There are a number of different tests used in determining whether an individual is an employee or an independent
contractor and such tests generally take into account multiple factors. There can be no assurance that legislative, judicial or
regulatory (including tax) authorities will not introduce proposals or assert interpretations of existing rules and regulations
that would change, or at least challenge, the classification of our independent contractors. Although we believe we have properly
classified our independent contractors, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or other U.S. federal or state authorities or similar
authorities of a foreign government may determine that we have misclassified our independent contractors for employment tax or
other purposes and, as a result, seek additional taxes from us or attempt to impose fines and penalties. If we are required to
pay employer taxes or pay backup withholding with respect to prior periods with respect to or on behalf of our independent contractors,
our operating costs will increase, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Our
dependence on subcontractors and suppliers could increase our cost and impair our ability to complete contracts on a timely basis
or at all.
We
rely on third-party subcontractors to perform some of the work on our contracts. We also rely on third-party suppliers to provide
materials needed to perform our obligations under those contracts. We generally do not bid on contracts unless we have the necessary
subcontractors and suppliers committed for the anticipated scope of the contract and at prices that we have included in our bid.
Therefore, to the extent that we cannot engage subcontractors or suppliers, our ability to bid for contracts may be impaired.
In addition, if a subcontractor or third-party supplier is unable to deliver its goods or services according to the negotiated
terms for any reason, we may suffer delays and be required to purchase the services from another source at a higher price. We
sometimes pay our subcontractors and suppliers before our customers pay us for the related services. If customers fail to pay
us and we choose, or are required, to pay our subcontractors for work performed or pay our suppliers for goods received, we could
suffer an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Our
insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover all significant risk exposures.
We
will be exposed to liabilities that are unique to the services we provide. While we intend to maintain insurance for certain risks,
the amount of our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities, and we may be forced to bear substantial
costs resulting from risks and uncertainties of our business. It is also not possible to obtain insurance to protect against all
operational risks and liabilities. The failure to obtain adequate insurance coverage on terms favorable to us, or at all, could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
14
Risks
Related to Our Industry
Our
industry is highly competitive, with a variety of larger companies with greater resources competing with us, and our failure to
compete effectively could reduce the number of new contracts awarded to us or adversely affect our market share and harm our financial
performance.
The
contracts on which we bid are generally awarded through a competitive bid process, with awards generally being made to the lowest
bidder, but sometimes based on other factors, such as shorter contract schedules, larger scale to complete projects or prior experience
with the customer. Within our markets, we compete with many other service providers. Price is often the principal factor in determining
which service provider is selected by our customers, especially on smaller, less complex projects. As a result, any organization
with adequate financial resources and access to technical expertise may become a competitor. Smaller competitors are sometimes
able to win bids for these projects based on price alone because of their lower costs and financial return requirements. Additionally,
our competitors may develop the expertise, experience and resources to provide services that are equal or superior in price to
our services, and we may not be able to maintain or enhance our competitive position.
Some
of our competitors have already achieved greater market penetration than we have in the markets in which we compete, and some
have greater financial and other resources than we do. A number of national companies in our industry are larger than we are and,
if they so desire, could establish a presence in our markets and compete with us for contracts. As a result of this competition,
we may need to accept lower contract margins in order to compete against competitors that have the ability to accept awards at
lower prices or have a pre-existing relationship with a customer. If we are unable to compete successfully in our markets, our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.
Many
of the customers we serve are subject to consolidation and rapid technological and regulatory change, and our inability or failure
to adjust to our customers’ changing needs could reduce demand for our services.
We
derive, and anticipate that we will continue to derive, a substantial portion of our revenue from customers in the medical industry.
This industry is subject to rapid changes in technology and governmental regulation. Changes in technology may reduce the demand
for the services we provide. Additionally, the medical industry has been characterized by a high level of consolidation that may
result in the loss of one or more of our customers. Our failure to rapidly adopt and master new technologies as they are developed
in any of the industries we serve or the consolidation of one or more of our significant customers could adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Further,
customers are regulated by the Department of Health and Human Services and other regulators. These regulators may interpret the
application of their regulations in a manner that is different than the way such regulations are currently interpreted and may
impose additional regulations, either of which could reduce demand for our services and adversely affect our business and results
of operations.
Economic
downturns could cause capital expenditures in the industries we serve to decrease, which may adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects.
The
demand for our services has been and may be vulnerable to general downturns in the United States economy. The current election
cycle may cause economic uncertainty. Our customers are affected by economic changes that decrease the need for or the profitability
of their services. This can result in a decrease in the demand for our services and potentially result in the delay or cancellation
of projects by our customers. As a result, some of our customers may opt to defer or cancel pending projects. A downturn in overall
economic conditions also affects the priorities placed on various projects funded by governmental entities and federal, state
and local spending levels.
In
general, economic uncertainty makes it difficult to estimate our customers’ requirements for our services. Our plan for
growth depends on expanding our company. If economic factors in any of the regions in which we plan to expand are not favorable
to the growth and development of the medical industry, we may not be able to carry out our growth strategy, which could adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
15
Other
Risks Relating to Our Company and Results of Operations
Our
operating results may fluctuate due to factors that are difficult to forecast and not within our control.
Our
past operating results may not be accurate indicators of future performance, and you should not rely on such results to predict
our future performance.
Our
operating results have fluctuated and could fluctuate in the future. Factors that may contribute to fluctuations include:
●
our
ability to effectively manage our working capital;
●
our
ability to satisfy customer demands in a timely and cost-effective manner; and
●
pricing
and availability of labor.
Actual
results could differ from the estimates and assumptions that we use to prepare our financial statements.
To
prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions as of the date
of the financial statements that affect the reported values of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities. Areas requiring significant estimates by our management include:
●
contract
costs and profits and revenue recognition of contract change order claims;
●
provisions
for uncollectible receivables and customer claims and recoveries of costs from subcontractors, suppliers and others;
●
valuation
of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations;
●
accruals
for estimated liabilities, including litigation and insurance reserves; and
●
goodwill
and intangible asset impairment assessment.
At
the time the estimates and assumptions are made, we believe they are accurate based on the information available. However, our
actual results could differ from, and could require adjustments to, those estimates.
We
exercise judgment in determining our provision for taxes in the United States that are subject to tax authority audit review that
could result in additional tax liability and potential penalties that would negatively affect our net income.
The
amounts we record in intercompany transactions for services, licenses, funding and other items affects our potential tax liabilities.
Our tax filings are subject to review or audit by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and state, local and foreign taxing authorities.
We exercise judgment in determining our worldwide provision for income and other taxes and, in the ordinary course of our business,
there may be transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Examinations of our tax returns
could result in significant proposed adjustments and assessment of additional taxes that could adversely affect our tax provision
and net income in the period or periods for which that determination is made.
16
Risks
Related to our Common Stock
Our
common stock price has fluctuated substantially, and the trading price of our common stock is likely to continue to be volatile,
which could result in losses to investors and litigation.
In
addition to changes to market prices based on our results of operations and the factors discussed elsewhere in this “Risk
Factors” section, the market price of and trading volume for our common stock may change for a variety of other reasons,
not necessarily related to our actual operating performance. The capital markets have experienced extreme volatility that has
often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect
the trading price of our common stock. In addition, the average daily trading volume of the securities of small companies can
be very low, which may contribute to future volatility. Factors that could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate
significantly include:
●
the
results of operating and financial performance and prospects of other companies in our industry;
●
strategic
actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
●
announcements
of innovations, increased service capabilities, new or terminated customers or new, amended or terminated contracts by our
competitors;
●
the
public’s reaction to our press releases, media coverage and other public announcements, and filings with the SEC;
●
market
conditions for providers of services to the medical industry;
●
lack
of securities analyst coverage or speculation in the press or investment community about us or opportunities in the markets
in which we compete;
●
changes
in government policies in the United States and, if our international business increases, in other foreign countries;
●
changes
in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities or research analysts who track our common stock or failure of our actual
results of operations to meet those expectations;
●
dilution
caused by the conversion into common stock of convertible debt securities or by the exercise of outstanding warrants;
●
market
and industry perception of our success, or lack thereof, in pursuing our growth strategy;
●
changes
in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;
●
any
lawsuit involving us, our services or our products;
●
arrival
and departure of key personnel;
●
government
investigations of our business activities;
●
sales
of common stock by us, our investors or members of our management team; and
●
changes
in general market, economic and political conditions in the United States and global economies or financial markets, including
those resulting from natural or man-made disasters.
Any
of these factors, as well as broader market and industry factors, may result in large and sudden changes in the trading volume
of our common stock and could seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. This
may prevent stockholders from being able to sell their shares at or above the price they paid for shares of our common stock,
if at all. In addition, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, stockholders often
institute securities class action litigation against that company. Our involvement in any class action suit or other legal proceeding,
including the existing lawsuits filed against us and described elsewhere in this report, could divert our senior management’s
attention and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
The
sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our common stock could adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.
Sales
of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the
market price of our common stock and could impair our future ability to raise capital through common stock offerings. As of December
31, 2020 and May 15, 2021, we had 9,895,600 and 10,029,433 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively, of which
2,296,832 and 2,170,056 shares, respectively, were restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC. The sale
of these shares into the open market may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
17
As
of December 31, 2020 and May 15, 2021, there were outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 675,091 and 765,552 shares
of our common stock, respectively, at a weighted-average exercise price of $8.95 and $8.37 per share, respectively, all of which
were exercisable as of such date. The market price of our common stock also may be adversely affected by our issuance of shares
of our capital stock or convertible securities in connection with future acquisitions, or in connection with other financing efforts.
We
have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock.
We
have never paid cash dividends and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
We currently intend to retain any earnings to finance our operations and growth. As a result, any short-term return on your investment
will depend on the market price of our common stock, and only appreciation of the price of our common stock, which may never occur,
will provide a return to stockholders. The decision whether to pay dividends will be made by our board of directors in light of
conditions then existing, including, but not limited to, factors such as our financial condition, results of operations, capital
requirements, business conditions, and covenants under any applicable contractual arrangements. Investors seeking cash dividends
should not invest in our common stock.
If
equity research analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade
our common stock, the market price of our common stock will likely decline.
The
trading market for our common stock will rely in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts, over whom we
have no control, publish about us and our business. We may never obtain research coverage by securities and industry analysts.
If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the market price for price of our common stock could decline
if one or more equity analysts downgrade our common stock or if those our common stock could decline. In the event we obtain securities
or industry analyst coverage, the market analysts issue unfavorable commentary, even if it is inaccurate, or cease publishing
reports about us or our business.
A
failure by us to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect
on our business and operating results.
Maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to produce accurate and complete financial reports and
to help prevent financial fraud. In addition, such control is required in order to maintain the listing of our common stock on
the Nasdaq Capital Market. While we have undertaken remedial steps to improve our financial reporting process, including the implementation
of a firm-wide accounting information system that collects, stores and processes financial and accounting data on a consolidated
basis for use in meeting our reporting obligations, there are no assurances that our internal control over financial reporting
has been effective at any time since then. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we did not have effective controls over financial
reporting. Our management has identified material weaknesses in our internal controls related to deficiency in the design of internal
controls and segregation of duties.
If
we are unable to maintain adequate internal controls or fail to correct material weaknesses in such controls noted by our management
or our independent registered public accounting firm, our business and operating results could be adversely affected, we could
again fail to meet our obligations to report our operating results accurately and completely and our continued listing on the
Nasdaq Capital Market could be jeopardized. We have implemented a policy whereby any external communications need to be reviewed
and approved by a member of our Board of Directors, as well as our outside legal counsel.
Complying
with the laws and regulations affecting public companies will increase our costs and the demands on management and could harm
our operating results.
As
a public company and particularly after we cease to be an “emerging growth company,” we will incur significant legal,
accounting, and other expenses. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the Nasdaq
Capital Market impose various requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices.
Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules
and regulations have increased and will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs and have made
and will continue to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules and regulations make it more
difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced
policy limits and coverage or to incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. These rules and regulations
could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or board committees
or as executive officers.
18
If
we do not manage our planned growth effectively, our revenue, business and operating results may be harmed.
Our
expansion strategy includes the possible acquisitions of other SaaS companies. We may not be able to identify, secure and manage
future acquisitions successfully. The acquisition of any future businesses may require a greater than anticipated investment of
operational and financial resources as we seek to institute uniform standards and controls across acquired businesses. Acquisitions
may also result in the diversion of management and resources, increases in administrative costs, including those relating to the
assimilation of new employees, and costs associated with any financings undertaken in connection with such acquisitions. We cannot
assure you that any acquisition we undertake, including those we have already made, will be successful. Future growth will also
place additional demands on our management, sales, and marketing resources, and may require us to hire and train additional employees.
We will need to expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate our growth, and we may not have the resources
to do so in the time frames required. The failure to manage our growth effectively will materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
We
may explore acquiring additional companies and such acquisitions may subject us to additional unknown risks.
We
may make future acquisitions of SaaS companies in markets that we do not serve now. We may not be able to reach agreements with
such companies on favorable terms or at all. In completing acquisitions, we will rely upon the representations and warranties
and indemnities made by the sellers with respect to each acquisition as well as our own due diligence investigation. We cannot
assure you that such representations and warranties will be true and correct or that our due diligence will uncover all materially
adverse facts relating to the operations and financial condition of the acquired companies or their businesses. To the extent
that we are required to pay for undisclosed obligations of an acquired company, or if material misrepresentations exist, we may
not realize the expected economic benefit from such acquisition and our ability to seek legal recourse from the seller may be
limited.
The
value of our goodwill and other intangible assets may decline.
As
of December 31, 2020, there was goodwill of $8,366,467. We evaluate goodwill at least annually,
and will do so more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. Many of the assumptions
and estimates that we make in order to estimate the fair value of our intangible assets directly impact the results of impairment
testing, including an estimate of future expected revenues, earnings and cash flows, and the discount rates applied to expected
cash flows. We are able to influence the outcome and ultimate results based on the assumptions and estimates we choose for testing.
To avoid undue influence, we have set criteria that are followed in making assumptions and estimates. The determination of whether
goodwill or acquired intangible assets have become impaired involves a significant level of judgment in the assumptions underlying
the approach used to determine the value of our reporting unit. Changes in our strategy or market conditions could significantly
impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded amounts of intangible assets.
Any
future acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of indebtedness and increased
amortization expense.
Any
future acquisitions are likely to result in issuances of equity securities, which will be dilutive to the equity interests of
existing stockholders, and may involve the incurrence of debt, which will require us to maintain cash flows sufficient to make
payments of principal and interest, the assumption of known and unknown liabilities, and the amortization of expenses related
to intangible assets, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
For example, the acquisition of SCWorx resulted in a change of control of our company involving the issuance of 5,263,158 shares
of common stock and 190,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, convertible into 500,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment),
and the issuance of warrants to purchase an additional 250,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $5.70 per share.
We
may become involved in litigation which could harm the value of our business.
Because
of the nature of our business and the exit from lines of business, there is a risk of litigation. Any litigation could cause us
to incur substantial expenses whether or not we prevail, which would add to our costs and affect the capital available for our
operations.
Please
refer to Item 3. Legal Proceedings of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed description of the pending legal actions
and investigations.
19
Economic
uncertainty impacts our business and financial results, and a renewed recession could materially affect us in the future.
Periods
of economic slowdown or recession could lead to a reduction in demand for our software and services, which in turn could reduce
our revenues and results of operations and adversely affect our financial position. Our business will be dependent upon business
discretionary spending and therefore is affected by business confidence as well as the future performance of the United States
and global economies. As a result, our results of operations are susceptible to economic slowdowns and recessions.
We
depend on the services of key executives, and the loss of these executives could materially harm our business and our strategic
direction if we were unable to replace them with executives of equal experience and capabilities.
Our
future success significantly depends on the continued service and performance of our key management and other personnel, including
our President and COO, Timothy A. Hannibal. We cannot prevent members of senior management from terminating their employment with
us even if we have an employment agreement with them. Losing the services of members of senior management could materially harm
our business until a suitable replacement is found, and such replacement may not have equal experience and capabilities. We have
not purchased life insurance covering any members of our senior management.
The
markets in which we operate are highly competitive, rapidly changing and increasingly fragmented, and we may not be able to compete
effectively, especially against competitors with greater financial resources or marketplace presence.
We
face competition from other SaaS companies. Many of the companies with which we will compete have greater financial and technical
resources than are available to us. Our failure to compete effectively could result in a significant loss of customers, which
could adversely affect our operating results.
Our
limited operating history makes forecasting our revenues and expenses difficult.
Revenues
and operating results are difficult to forecast accurately because of our relatively limited operating history as a combined business,
which commenced in February of 2019, and because SCWorx’s results generally depend primarily on our ability to secure term
service/license agreements, which are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending
appropriately to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which may result in substantial losses and a lower market price
for our common stock. The Company’s results will also depend on its ability to enter into agreements to acquire and sell
PPE and test kits. We have encountered difficulty in securing reliable sources of supply of these products.
We
may need additional capital to support our operations or the growth of our business, and we cannot be certain that this capital
will be available on reasonable terms when required, or at all.
In
order for us to grow and execute our business plan successfully, we will likely require additional financing which may not be
available on acceptable terms or at all. If such financing is available, it may be dilutive to the equity interests of existing
stockholders. Failure to obtain financing will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. If we are unable to obtain
adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support the operation
or growth of our business could be significantly impaired and our operating results may be harmed.
If
we fail to meet the continued listing standards and corporate governance requirements for Nasdaq Capital Market companies, we
may be subject to de-listing.
Our
common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain this listing, we are required to comply with various
continued listing standards, including corporate governance requirements, set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules. These standards and
requirements include, but are not limited to, maintaining a minimum bid price for our common stock, as well as having a majority of our
Board members qualify as independent. If we fail to meet any one of these requirements for an extended period of time, we will be subject
to possible de-listing. In addition, on January 4, 2021, The Nasdaq Stock Market notified us that due to our failure to hold our annual
meeting before December 31, 2020, we were no longer in compliance with their listing rule which requires us to hold our annual meeting
before December 31 of each year. The Company intends to hold a Special Meeting in lieu of its 2020 Annual Meeting May 24, 2021, which
will have the effect of curing this deficiency.
Further on April 19, 2021 and April 21, 2021, the Nasdaq Stock Market
notified the Company that it was not in compliance with the Nasdaq’s rules for continued listing because the Company has not yet
filed its 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (“2020 10-K”), as required by Nasdaq Rule 5250(c)(1) (the April
21 notification superseded the April 19 notification). The most recent Nasdaq notice requires the Company to submit its plan to regain
compliance, no later than May 19, 2021. The filing of this 10-K will cure this deficiency.
20
Our
common stock may be affected by limited trading volume and price fluctuations, which could adversely impact the value of our common
stock and our ability to grow our business.
There
has been limited trading in our common stock, and there can be no assurance that an active trading market in our common stock
will either develop or be maintained. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant
price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating
performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall
economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These
fluctuations may also cause short sellers to enter the market periodically in the belief that we will have poor results in the
future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our common
stock will be stable or that our share price will appreciate over time.
Our
stock price has been volatile .
The
market price of our common stock has been highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors,
many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
●
our
ability to obtain working capital financing;
●
additions
or departures of key personnel;
●
sales
of our common stock;
●
our
ability to execute our business plan;
●
operating
results that fall below expectations;
●
regulatory
developments; and
●
economic
and other external factors.
In
addition, the securities markets from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to
the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market
price of our common stock.
Offers
or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
The
periodic availability of shares for sale upon the expiration of any statutory holding period or lockup agreements, could create
a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang”, in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock
could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult
our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and
price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.
We
may be unable to establish, protect or enforce our intellectual property rights adequately.
Our
success will depend in part on our ability to establish, protect and enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights.
Our inability to protect our tradenames, service marks and other intellectual property rights from infringement, piracy, counterfeiting
or other unauthorized use could negatively affect our business. If we fail to establish, protect or enforce our intellectual property
rights, we may lose an important advantage in the market in which we compete. Our intellectual property rights may not be sufficient
to help us maintain our position in the market and our competitive advantages. Monitoring unauthorized uses of and enforcing our
intellectual property rights can be difficult and costly. Legal intellectual property actions are inherently uncertain and may
not be successful, and may require a substantial amount of resources and management attention.
21
We
currently hosts our solution, serve our customers, and support our operations in the United States through an agreement with a
third party hosting and infrastructure provider, Rackspace. The Company incorporates standard IT security measures, including
but not limited to; firewalls, disaster recovery, backup, etc.
Circumstances
outside our control could pose a threat to our intellectual property rights. For example, effective intellectual property protection
may not be available in the United States or other countries in which we seek protection of our marks or our copyrighted works.
Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment
of our intellectual property rights may harm our business or our ability to compete.
Changes
in laws, regulations and other requirements could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
We
are subject to the laws, regulations and other requirements of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Changes to these laws could
have a material adverse impact on the revenue, profit or the operation of our business.
Disruptions
in our information technology systems or security breaches of confidential customer information or personal employee information
could have an adverse impact on our operations.
Our
operations are dependent upon the integrity, security and consistent operation of various information technology systems and data
centers that process transactions, communication systems and various other software applications used throughout our operations.
Disruptions in these systems could have an adverse impact on our operations. We could encounter difficulties in developing new
systems or maintaining and upgrading existing systems. Such difficulties could lead to significant expenses or to losses due to
disruption in our business operations.
In
addition, our information technology systems are subject to the risk of infiltration or data theft. The techniques used to obtain
unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage information technology systems change frequently and may be difficult
to detect or prevent over long periods of time. Moreover, the hardware, software or applications we develop or procure from third
parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise the security of our
information systems. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities through fraud or deception
aimed at our employees, contractors or temporary staff. In the event that the security of our information systems is compromised,
confidential information could be misappropriated, and system disruptions could occur. Any such misappropriation or disruption
could cause significant harm to our reputation, lead to a loss of sales or profits or cause us to incur significant costs to reimburse
third parties for damages.
Our
current insurance policies may not provide adequate levels of coverage against all claims, and we may incur losses that are not
covered by our insurance.
We
believe we maintain insurance coverage that is customary for businesses of our size and type; however, we may be unable to insure
against certain types of losses or claims, or the cost of such insurance may be prohibitive. For example, although we carry insurance
for breaches of our computer network security, there can be no assurance that such insurance will cover all potential losses or
claims or that the dollar limits of such insurance will be sufficient to provide full coverage against all losses or claims. Uninsured
losses or claims, if they occur, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and results of operations.
We
may be required to pay for the defense of our clients, officers, or directors in accordance with certain indemnification provisions.
Our
company provides indemnification of varying scope to certain customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made
by third parties arising from the use of our services. In accordance with authoritative guidance for accounting for guarantees,
we evaluate estimated losses for such indemnification. Management considers such factors as the degree of probability of an unfavorable
outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. To date, no such claims have been filed against our
company and, as a result, no liability has been recorded in our financial statements.
22
As
permitted under Delaware law, our company has agreements whereby we indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or
occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our company’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential
amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have directors’
and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce our financial exposure and may enable us to recover
a portion of any such payments.
In
connection with the Class Action claims and investigations described in Item 3. Legal Proceedings of this Annual Report on Form
10-K, we are obligated to indemnify our officers and directors for costs incurred in defending against these claims and investigations.
Because we currently do not have the resources to pay for these costs, our directors and officers liability insurance carrier
has agreed to indemnify these persons even though the $750,000 retention under such policy has not yet been met. Ultimately, we
will be obligated to pay the amount of the retention to the extent of actual settlement and defense costs, which payments could
have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Please
refer to Item 3. Legal Proceedings of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed description of the various actions and investigations
for which we are obligated to indemnify our officers and directors.
In
connection with these actions and investigations, the Company is obligated to indemnify its officers and directors for costs incurred
in defending against these claims and investigations. Because the Company currently does not have the resources to pay for these
costs, its directors and officers liability insurance carrier has agreed to indemnify these persons even though the $750,000 retention
under such policy has not yet been met. The Company estimates it is currently obligated to pay approximately $700,000 of the retention,
which payments could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

2. Properties
Our
company does not own any real property. The principal executive offices are located at an office complex in New York, New York,
consisting of shared office space that we are leasing. The lease had an original one-year term that commenced on December 1, 2015,
which was renewed until November 30, 2018 and now is under a month-to-month lease agreement. The lease allows for the limited
use of private offices, conference rooms, mail handling, videoconferencing, and certain other business services.
The
company also has a lease for office space in Greenwich, Connecticut which expired in March 2020 and is now Month-to-month.
We
believe that our facilities are adequate for our current needs.
Item
3. Legal Proceedings
In
conducting our business, we may become involved in legal proceedings. We will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable
that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established,
the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within
the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might include, for example,
estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred.
On
April 29, 2020, a securities class action case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York against us and our CEO. The action is captioned Daniel Yannes, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiff vs. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants.
On
May 27, 2020, a second securities class was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against
us and our CEO. The action is captioned Caitlin Leeburn, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff

23
On
June 23, 2020, a third securities class was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against
us and our CEO. The action is captioned Jonathan Charles Leonard, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiff v. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants.
All
three lawsuits allege that our company and our CEO mislead investors in connection with our April 13, 2020 press release with
respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits. The plaintiffs in these actions are seeking unspecified monetary damages. These
three class actions were consolidated on September 18, 2020 and Daniel Yannes was designated lead plaintiff. A consolidated Amended
Complaint (“CAC”) was filed on October 19, 2020. The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the CAC on November 18,
2020, and the briefing on that motion was complete on January 8, 2021. We are still awaiting a ruling on the motion, and we intend
to continue vigorously defending against this lawsuit.
On
June 15, 2020, a shareholder derivative claim was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
against Marc S. Schessel, Steven Wallitt (current directors), and Robert Christie and Charles Miller (former directors) (“Director
Defendants”). The action is captioned Javier Lozano, derivatively on behalf of SCWorx Corp., Plaintiff, v. Marc S. Schessel,
Charles K. Miller, Steven Wallitt, Defendants, and SCWorx Corp., Nominal Defendant. This lawsuit alleges that the Director Defendants
breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, including by misleading investors in connection with our April 13, 2020 press
release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits, failing to correct false and misleading statements and failing to
implement proper disclosure and internal controls. The Plaintiff, on our behalf, is seeking an award of monetary damages, improvements
in our disclosure and internal controls, and legal fees. The Director Defendants intend to vigorously defend against these proceedings.
This derivative action is also still pending, and the plaintiff in such action has agreed to voluntarily stay the case until a
ruling on a motion to dismiss, which we intend to file in the securities class action case.
On
August 21, 2020, a shareholder derivative claim was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York against Marc S. Schessel, Steven Wallitt (current directors), and Robert Christie and Charles Miller (former directors) (“Director
Defendants”). The action is captioned Josstyn Richter, derivatively on behalf of SCWorx Corp., Plaintiff, v. Marc S. Schessel,
Charles K. Miller, Steven Wallitt, Defendants, and SCWorx Corp., Nominal Defendant. This lawsuit alleges that the Director Defendants
breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, including by misleading investors in connection with our April 13, 2020 press
release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits, failing to correct false and misleading statements and failing to
implement proper disclosure and internal controls. The Plaintiff, on our behalf, is seeking an award of monetary damages, improvements
in our disclosure and internal controls, and legal fees. The Director Defendants intend to vigorously defend against these proceedings.
On
August 27, 2020, the Lozano and Richter derivative actions were consolidated and jointly stayed until a ruling on a motion to
dismiss which we filed in the securities class action case.
On
September 30, 2020, a shareholder derivative action was filed in the Supreme Court State of New York, New York County against
Marc S. Schessel and Steven Wallitt (current directors) and Charles Miller (a former director). The action is captioned Hemrita
Zarins, derivatively on behalf of SCWorx Corp. v. Marc S. Schessel, Charles Miller, Steven Wallitt and SCWorx, Nominal Defendant.
This lawsuit alleges that the Director Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, including by misleading investors
in connection with the Company’s April 13, 2020 press release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits, failing
to correct false and misleading statements and failing to implement proper disclosure and internal controls. The Plaintiff, on
our behalf, is seeking an award of monetary damages, improvements in our disclosure and internal controls, and legal fees. On
October 28,2020, Zarins withdrew this action and refiled an action in the Chancery Court in the State of Delaware on October
29, 2020. Zarins named as Defendants Marc S. Schessel, Robert Christie (a former director), Steven Wallitt and SCWorx, Nominal
Defendant. The allegations, as well as the relief sought, in the Delaware Chancery Court proceeding are substantially the
same as that filed in the New York State Action. This action has been stayed pending the ruling on the motion to dismiss in the
aforementioned securities class action. The Director Defendants intend to vigorously defend against these proceedings.
In
addition, following the April 13, 2020 press release and related disclosures (related to COVID-19 rapid test kits), the Securities
and Exchange Commission made an inquiry regarding the disclosures we made in relation to the transaction involving COVID-19 test
kits. On April 22, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission ordered that trading in the securities of our company be suspended
because of “questions and concerns regarding the adequacy and accuracy of publicly available information in the marketplace”
(the “SEC Trading Halt”). The SEC Trading Halt expired May 5, 2020, at 11:59 PM EDT. We are fully cooperating
with the SEC’s investigation and are providing documents and other requested information.
24
In
April 2020, we received related inquiries from The Nasdaq Stock Market and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
We have been fully cooperating with these agencies and providing information and documents, as requested. On May 5, 2020, the
Nasdaq Stock Market informed us that it had initiated a “T12 trading halt,” which means the halt will remain in place
until we have fully satisfied Nasdaq’s request for additional information. We fully cooperated with Nasdaq and responded
to all of Nasdaq’s information requests as they were issued. The T12 trading halt was lifted on August 10, 2020.
Also
in April 2020, we were contacted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey, which is seeking information
and documents from our officers and directors relating primarily to the April 13, 2020 press release concerning COVID-19 rapid
test kits. We are fully cooperating with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in its investigation.
In
connection with these actions and investigations, the Company is obligated to indemnify its officers and directors for costs incurred
in defending against these claims and investigations. Because the Company currently does not have the resources to pay for these
costs, its directors and officers liability insurance carrier has agreed to indemnify these persons even though the $750,000 retention
under such policy has not yet been met. The Company estimates it is currently obligated to pay approximately $700,000 of the retention,
which payments could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
David
Klarman v. SCWorx Corp. f/k/a Alliance MMA, Inc.,
Index
No. 619536/2019 (N.Y. State Sup. Ct., Suffolk County)
On October 3, 2019, David Klarman, a former employee of Alliance, served
a complaint against SCWorx seeking $400,000.00 for a breach of his employment agreement with Alliance. Klarman claims
that Alliance ceased paying him his salary in March 2018 as well as other alleged contractual benefits. SCWorx
does not believe that it owes the amount demanded and intends to vigorously defend against these claims. On March 6, 2020,
SCWorx filed an answer and counterclaims against Mr. Klarman. On September 18, 2020, the Court granted Klarman's counsel's motion
to withdraw as counsel due to "irreconcilable differences." The Court stayed the case for 45 days after service of
the Court's order. Mr. Klarman's wife, Marie Klarman, Esq., filed a Notice of Appearance on November 6, 2020 and filed a motion
on November 9, 2020 seeking various forms of relief -- in violation of the Court's Individual Rules and the Commercial Division Rules.
We opposed Klarman’s motion on December 31, 2020 and the case was marked fully submitted on January 21, 2021. By Decision
and Order dated March 26, 2021, the Court granted Klarman’s motion to dismiss four (4) of fourteen (14) defenses, denied Klarman’s
motion to dismiss SCWorx’s counterclaims against him; denied Klarman’s motion for summary judgment and denied Klarman’s
motion to strike allegations contained in the Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaims based on his contention that such allegations were
“scandalous” or prejudicial. On April 7, 2021, Klarman filed a Reply to the Counterclaims, denying the material allegations
and interposed numerous affirmative defenses. The Court has issued a preliminary conference order, setting a discovery cut-off of
October 2022.
At
this time, we are unable to predict the duration, scope, or possible outcome of these investigations and lawsuits.

statements that reflect Management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. You can identify
these statements by forward-looking words such as “may” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate” and “continue,” or similar words. Those statements include statements
regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us and members of our management team as well as the assumptions on which
such statements are based. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance and involve risk and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by
such forward-looking statements.
26
Readers
are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Important factors known to us could cause actual results to differ materially from those
in forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions,
the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in the future operating results over time. We believe that its assumptions are
based upon reasonable data derived from and known about our business and operations and the business and operations of our company.
No assurances are made that actual results of operations or the results of our future activities will not differ materially from
its assumptions. Factors that could cause differences include, but are not limited to, expected market demand for our services,
fluctuations in pricing for materials, and competition.
Our
Business
On
February 1, 2019, we acquired SCWorx Corp. in a stock for stock transaction, in connection with which we changed our name to SCWorx
Corp. and changed our trading symbol on the Nasdaq to WORX. SCWorx is a leading provider of data content and services related
to the repair, normalization and interoperability of information for healthcare providers and big data analytics for the healthcare
industry.
SCWorx
has developed and markets health information technology solutions and associated services that improve healthcare processes and
information flow within hospitals. SCWorx’s software platform enables healthcare providers to simplify, repair, and organize
its data (“data normalization”), allows the data to be utilized across multiple internal software applications (“interoperability”)
and provides the basis for sophisticated data analytics (“big data”). SCWorx’s solutions are designed to improve
the flow of information quickly and accurately between the existing supply chain, electronic medical records, clinical systems,
and patient billing functions. The software is designed to achieve multiple operational benefits such as supply chain cost reductions,
decreased accounts receivables aging, accelerated and more accurate billing, contract optimization, increased supply chain management
and cost visibility, synchronous charge description master (“CDM”) and control of vendor rebates and contract administration
fees.
SCWorx
empowers healthcare providers to maintain comprehensive access and visibility to an advanced business intelligence that enables
better decision-making and reductions in product costs and utilization, ultimately leading to accelerated and accurate patient
billing. SCWorx’s software modules perform separate functions as follows:
●
virtualized
Item Master File repair, expansion and automation;
●
CDM
management;
●
contract
management;
●
request
for proposal automation;
●
rebate
management;
●
big
data analytics modeling; and
●
data
integration and warehousing.
SCWorx
continues to provide transformational data-driven solutions to many healthcare providers in the United States. The Company’s
clients are geographically dispersed throughout the country. The Company’s focus is to assist healthcare providers with
issues that they have pertaining to data interoperability. SCWorx provides these solutions through a combination of direct sales
and relationships with strategic partners.
SCWorx’s
software solutions are delivered to its clients within a fixed term period, typically a three-to-five-year contracted term, where
such software is hosted in SCWorx data centers (Amazon Web Service’s “AWS” or RackSpace) and accessed by such
clients through a secure connection in a software as a service (“SaaS”) delivery method.
SCWorx
currently sells its solutions and services in the United States to hospitals and health systems through its direct sales force
and its distribution and reseller partnerships.
27
SCWorx, as part of the acquisition of Alliance MMA, operated an online
event ticketing platform focused on serving regional MMA (“mixed martial arts”) promotions.
We
currently host our solutions, serve our customers, and support our operations in the United States through an agreement with a
third party hosting and infrastructure provider, RackSpace. We incorporate standard IT security measures, including but not limited
to; firewalls, disaster recovery, backup, etc. Our operations are dependent upon the integrity, security and consistent operation
of various information technology systems and data centers that process transactions, communication systems and various other
software applications used throughout our operations. Disruptions in these systems could have an adverse impact on our operations.
We could encounter difficulties in developing new systems or maintaining and upgrading existing systems. Such difficulties could
lead to significant expenses or to losses due to disruption in our business operations.
In
addition, our information technology systems are subject to the risk of infiltration or data theft. The techniques used to obtain
unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage information technology systems change frequently and may be difficult
to detect or prevent over long periods of time. Moreover, the hardware, software or applications we develop or procure from third
parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise the security of our
information systems. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities through fraud or deception
aimed at our employees, contractors or temporary staff. In the event that the security of our information systems is compromised,
confidential information could be misappropriated, and system disruptions could occur. Any such misappropriation or disruption
could cause significant harm to our reputation, lead to a loss of sales or profits or cause us to incur significant costs to reimburse
third parties for damages.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s
discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial
statements. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”) in the United States which requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. By their nature, these
estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We evaluate our estimates based on our historical experience
and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates relate to revenue recognition,
the assessment of recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, the assessment of useful lives and the recoverability of property,
plant and equipment, the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation expense, recognition and measurement of deferred
income tax assets and liabilities, the assessment of unrecognized tax benefits, and others. Actual results could differ from those
estimates, and material effects on our consolidated operating results and consolidated financial position may result. Refer to
Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for a full description
of our accounting policies.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance to U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of SCWorx and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Principles

The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material

Reverse
Stock Split
On
February 1, 2019, we effected a 1-for-19 reverse stock split with respect to the outstanding shares of our common stock. The reverse
stock split was deemed effective at the open of business on February 4, 2019. The reverse stock split did not affect the total
number of shares of common stock that we are authorized to issue, which is 45,000,000 shares. The reverse stock split also did
not affect the total number of shares of Series A preferred stock that we are authorized to issue, which is 900,000 shares. Share
and per share data have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the reverse stock split unless otherwise noted.
28
Cash
Cash
is maintained with various financial institutions. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit
risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
up to $250,000.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Management
applies fair value accounting for significant financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Management defines fair value
as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required
to be recorded at fair value, management considers the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the
market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks
inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy,
which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon
the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable
or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 - Inputs
that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would
use in pricing the asset or liability.
Concentration
of Credit and Other Risks
Financial
instruments that potentially subject our company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, accounts
receivable and warrants. We believe that any concentration of credit risk in its accounts receivable is substantially mitigated
by our evaluation process, relatively short collection terms and the high level of credit worthiness of its customers. We perform
ongoing internal credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition, obtain deposits and limit the amount of credit
extended when deemed necessary but generally require no collateral.
For
the year ended December 31, 2020, we had two customers representing 22% and 17% of aggregate revenues. For the year ended December
31, 2019, we had two customers representing 19% and 10% of aggregate revenues. At December 31, 2020, we had three customers representing
35%, 32% and 10% of aggregate accounts receivable. At December 31, 2019, we had four customers representing 17%, 14%, 10% and
10% of aggregate accounts receivable.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
Our
company continually monitors customer payments and maintains a reserve for estimated losses resulting from our customers’
inability to make required payments. In determining the reserve, we evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable based
upon a variety of factors. In cases where we become aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability
to meet its financial obligations, we record a specific allowance against amounts due. For all other customers, we recognize allowances
for doubtful accounts based on our historical write-off experience in conjunction with the length of time the receivables are
past due, customer creditworthiness, geographic risk and the current business environment. Actual future losses from uncollectible
accounts may differ from our estimates. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2020 and 2019
of $183,277 and $344,412, respectively.
Leases
We
determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The current portion of lease obligations are included in accounts payable
and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use
an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the
lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments
over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the
information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms may include options
to extend or terminate the lease, which are included in the lease ROU asset when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise
that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements
with lease components only, none with non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.
29
Business
Combinations
Our
company includes the results of operations of a business we acquire in our consolidated results as of the date of acquisition.
We allocate the fair value of the purchase consideration of our acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible
assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values
of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value
of the synergies between the acquired businesses and our company. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful
lives. The fair value of contingent consideration (earn out) associated with acquisitions is remeasured each reporting period
and adjusted accordingly. Acquisition and integration related costs are recognized separately from the business combination and
are expensed as incurred. For additional information regarding our acquisitions, refer to Note 5, Business Combinations.
Goodwill
and Identified Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill
is recorded as the difference between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible
and identified intangible assets acquired under a business combination. Goodwill also includes acquired assembled workforce, which
does not qualify as an identifiable intangible asset. Management reviews impairment of goodwill annually in the fourth quarter,
or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. We first assess qualitative factors
to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the totality of
events or circumstances, we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than
its carrying amount, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary.
Identified
intangible assets
Identified
finite-lived intangible assets consist of ticketing software and promoter relationships resulting from the February 1, 2019 business
combination. Our identified intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging
from 5 to 7 years. Management makes judgments about the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever facts and circumstances
indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable.
If such facts and circumstances exist, we assess recoverability by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated
with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if
any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally
estimated, we would accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful
life.
For
further discussion of goodwill and identified intangible assets, refer to Note 5, Business Combinations.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over
the related assets’ estimated useful lives. Equipment, furniture and fixtures are being amortized over a period of three
years.
Expenditures
that materially increase asset life are capitalized, while ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue in accordance with Topic 606 to depict the transfer of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects
the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition
for arrangements within the scope of Topic 606 we perform the following steps:
●
Step
1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
●
Step
2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
30
●
Step
3: Determine the transaction price
●
Step
4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
●
Step
5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
We
follow the accounting revenue guidance under Topic 606 to determine whether contracts contain more than one performance
obligation. Performance obligations are the unit of accounting for revenue recognition and generally represent the distinct goods
or services that are promised to the customer.
Management
has identified the following performance obligations in our contracts with customers:
1.
Data
Normalization: which includes data preparation, product and vendor mapping, product categorization, data enrichment and other
data related services,
2.
Software-as-a-service
(“SaaS”): which is generated from clients’ access of and usage of our hosted software solutions on a subscription
basis for a specified contract term, which is usually annually. In SaaS arrangements, the client cannot take possession of
the software during the term of the contract and generally has the right to access and use the software and receive any software
upgrades published during the subscription period,
3.
Maintenance:
which includes ongoing data cleansing and normalization, content enrichment, and optimization, and
4.
Professional
Services: mainly related to specific customer projects to manage and/or analyze data and review for cost reduction opportunities.
A
contract will typically include Data Normalization, SaaS and Maintenance, which are distinct performance obligations and are accounted
for separately. The transaction price is allocated to each separate performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price
basis. Significant judgement is required to determine the stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation and
is typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a stand-alone basis. At contract inception,
an assessment of the goods and services promised in the contracts with customers is performed and a performance obligation is
identified for each distinct promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services). To identify
the performance obligations, management considers all the goods or services promised in the contract regardless of whether
they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation has
been met. We consider control to have transferred upon delivery because we have a present right to payment at that time, we have
transferred use of the good or service, and the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all the remaining
benefits from, the good or service.
Our
SaaS and Maintenance contracts typically have termination for convenience without penalty clauses and accordingly, are generally
accounted for as month-to-month agreements. If it is determined that we have not satisfied a performance obligation, revenue recognition
will be deferred until the performance obligation is deemed to be satisfied.
Revenue
recognition for our performance obligations are as follows:
Data
Normalization and Professional Services
Our
Data Normalization and Professional Services are typically fixed fee. When these services are not combined with SaaS or Maintenance
revenues as a single unit of accounting, these revenues are recognized as the services are rendered and when contractual milestones
are achieved and accepted by the customer.
SaaS
and Maintenance
SaaS
and Maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the contract terms beginning on the commencement date of each contract, which
is the date on which our service is made available to customers.
31
We
do have some contracts that have payment terms that differ from the timing of revenue recognition, which requires us to assess
whether the transaction price for those contracts include a significant financing component. We have elected the practical expedient
that permits an entity to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects that at the contract inception,
the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good
or service will be one year or less. We do not maintain contracts in which the period between when the entity transfers a promised
good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service exceeds the one-year threshold.
As
of December 31, 2020, we had $2,025,333 of remaining performance obligations recorded as deferred revenue. We expect to recognize
sales relating to these existing performance obligations of during 2021.
Costs
to Fulfill a Contract
Costs
to fulfill a contract typically include costs related to satisfying performance obligations as well as general and administrative
costs that are not explicitly chargeable to customer contracts. These expenses are recognized and expensed when incurred in accordance
with ASC 340-40.
Cost
of Revenue
Cost
of revenues primarily represent data center hosting costs, consulting services and maintenance of our large data array that were
incurred in delivering professional services and maintenance of our large data array during the periods presented.
Contract
Balances
Contract
assets arise when the revenue associated prior to our unconditional right to receive a payment under a contract with a customer
( i.e ., unbilled revenue) and are derecognized when either it becomes a receivable or the cash is received. There were no
contract assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Contract
liabilities arise when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of our company satisfying our performance obligations
under the contract and are derecognized when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized when the performance obligation
is satisfied. Deferred revenue for contract liabilities were $2,025,333 and $1,056,637 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Income
Taxes
Our
company converted to a corporation from a limited liability company during 2018.
We
use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable
or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have
been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations
in the period that includes the enactment date.
Valuation
allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we evaluated available evidence and concluded that we
may not realize all the benefits of our deferred tax assets; therefore, a valuation allowance was established for our deferred
tax assets.
ASC
Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements
and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions
for any of the reporting periods presented.
32
On
December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. The Tax Act significantly revised
the U.S. corporate income tax regime by, including but not limited to, lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 34% to
21% effective January 1, 2018, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time transition tax on previously untaxed
accumulated earnings and profits of foreign subsidiaries, and creating new taxes on foreign sourced earnings. During the years
ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we completed the accounting for tax effects of the Tax Act under ASC 740. There were no impacts
to the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Stock-based
Compensation Expense
The Company accounts for stock-based
compensation expense in accordance with the authoritative guidance on share-based payments. Under the provisions of the guidance, stock-based
compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the option or warrant using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
The authoritative guidance also requires that the Company measure
and recognize stock-based compensation expense upon modification of the term of stock award. The stock-based compensation expense for
such modification is accounted for as a repurchase of the original award and the issuance of a new award.
Calculating stock-based compensation
expense requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the stock-based awards, stock price volatility,
and the pre-vesting option forfeiture rate. The Company estimates the expected life of options granted based on historical exercise patterns,
which are believed to be representative of future behavior. The Company estimates the volatility of the Company’s common stock on
the date of grant based on historical volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the
Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.
As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, its stock-based compensation expense could be materially different
in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares
expected to vest. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on historical experience of its stock-based awards that are granted,
exercised and cancelled. If the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from the estimate, stock-based compensation expense could
be significantly different from what was recorded in the current period. The Company also grants performance based restricted stock awards
to employees and consultants. These awards will vest if certain employee\consultant-specific or company-designated performance targets
are achieved. If minimum performance thresholds are achieved, each award will convert into a designated number of the Company’s
common stock. If minimum performance thresholds are not achieved, then no shares will be issued. Based upon the expected levels of achievement,
stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The expected levels of achievement
are reassessed over the requisite service periods and, to the extent that the expected levels of achievement change, stock-based compensation
is adjusted in the period of change and recorded on the statements of operations and the remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation
is recorded over the remaining requisite service period. Refer to Note 9, Stockholders’ Equity, for additional detail.
Loss
Per Share
We
compute earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of
both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed
by dividing the loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator)
during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury
stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price
for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants.
Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had
790,847 and 1,650,511, respectively, common stock equivalents outstanding.
Indemnification
We
provide indemnification of varying scope to certain customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third
parties arising from the use of our software. In accordance with authoritative guidance for accounting for guarantees, we evaluate
estimated losses for such indemnification. We consider such factors as the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and
the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. To date, no such claims have been filed against our company and
no liability has been recorded in our financial statements.
33
As
permitted under Delaware law, we have agreements whereby we indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences
while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our company’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount
of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. In addition, we have
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce our financial exposure and may enable
us to recover any payments above the applicable policy retention, should they occur.
In
connection with the Class Action claims and investigations described in Item 3. Legal Proceedings of this Annual Report on Form 10-K,
the Company is obligated to indemnify its officers and directors for costs incurred in defending against these claims and investigations.
Contingencies
From
time to time, we may be involved in legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. We record a liability in
our consolidated financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably
estimated. Management reviews these estimates in each accounting period as additional information becomes known and adjusts the
loss provision when appropriate. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in
the consolidated financial statements. If a loss is probable but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, we disclose
the loss contingency and an estimate of possible loss or range of loss (unless such an estimate cannot be made). We do not recognize
gain contingencies until they are realized. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Refer to Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, for further information.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly
evaluates estimates and assumptions related to allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated useful lives and recoverability
of long-lived assets, equity component of convertible debt, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation
allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors
that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the
carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent
there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset
and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, on the balance sheet for all
leases with terms longer than 12 months, as well as the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. Disclosures
are required to provide the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. A modified retrospective transition
approach is provided for lessees of leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period
presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. In July
2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”). ASU 2018-11
allows all entities adopting ASU 2016-02 to choose an additional (and optional) transition method of adoption, under which an
entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening
balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. ASU 2018-11 also allows lessors to not separate non-lease components from
the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 in the
quarter beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption resulted in the recognition of additional disclosures and a right of use asset
of approximately $53,000 included as a component of prepaid expenses and other assets and a lease liability of approximately $53,000,
which is included as a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2019. The Company did not have any
right of use assets or lease liabilities at December 31, 2020.
34
In
October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party
Guidance for Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2018-17”). ASU 2018-17 provides that indirect interests held
through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees
paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. ASU 2018-17 is effective for annual and interim periods
beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal
2020, and the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes
to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure
requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and earlier adoption is
permitted. We adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and the adoption of the standard did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill
Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an
entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair
value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal
2020, and the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Stock-based Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment
Accounting, which amends the existing accounting standards for share-based payments to nonemployees. This ASU aligns much
of the guidance on measuring and classifying nonemployee awards with that of awards to employees. Under the new guidance, the
measurement of nonemployee equity awards is fixed on the grant date. The effective date for the standard is for interim periods
in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, but no earlier than our adoption date of Topic
606. The new guidance is required to be applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application.
We adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, and the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact
on our consolidated financial statements.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”) “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASC
326”): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” which requires the measurement and recognition of expected
credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with
an expected loss model which requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. It also eliminates
the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be
recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These
changes will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 “Financial Instruments
– Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASC 2019-10”),
which defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within
those fiscal years, for public entities which meet the definition of a smaller reporting company. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-13
effective January 1, 2023. Management is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the consolidated financial
statements. The effect will largely depend on the composition and credit quality of our investment portfolio and the economic
conditions at the time of adoption.
Results
of Operations
The
COVID-19 Pandemic has disrupted our business and the business of our hospital customers.
Our
operations and business have experienced disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic which
spread throughout the United States and the world. The New York and New Jersey area, where the Company is headquartered, was at
one of the epicenters of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States. The Company has followed the recommendations of local
health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its team members since the outbreak.
In
addition, the Company’s customers (hospitals) have also experienced extraordinary disruptions to their businesses and supply
chains, while experiencing unprecedented demand for health care services related to COVID-19. As a result of these extraordinary
disruptions to our customers’ business, our customers have been focused on meeting the nation’s health care needs
in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, there is a significant risk that our customers will not be able to focus any
resources on expanding the utilization of our services, which could adversely impact our future growth prospects, at least until
the adverse effects of the pandemic subside. In addition, the financial impact of COVID-19 on our hospital customers could cause
the hospital to delay payments due to us for services, which could negatively impact our cash flows.
35
We
have attempted to mitigate these risks through the sale of personal protective equipment (“PPE”) and COVID-19 rapid
test kits to the health care industry, including many of our hospital customers.
The
sale of PPE and rapid test kits for COVID-19 represented a new business for the Company and is subject to the myriad risks associated
with any new venture. The Company encountered great difficulty in attempting to secure reliable sources of supply for both COVID-19
Rapid Test Kits and PPE. The Company currently has no contracted supply of Rapid Test Kits or PPE. During the year ended December
31, 2020, the Company has completed only minimal sales of COVID-19 rapid test kits and PPE. In addition, changes in market conditions
and FDA processes governing the sale of COVID-19 serology tests could have the effect of rendering the COVID-19 serology tests
held by the Company not saleable in the United States, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate any significant revenue
from the sale of PPE products or rapid test kits, and as of the date of this report, the Company has not generated any material
revenue from the sale of PPE or rapid test kits.
The
Company is no longer actively seeking to procure and sell Test Kits or PPE. Instead, the Company is focused on selling its
current inventory of PPE and Test Kits. The Company may receive commissions for acting as an intermediary with respect to the
sale of PPE and/or Test Kits. However, there is no assurance the Company will realize any material revenue from these activities.

Revenues
Revenue
for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $5,213,118, compared to revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018, which was $5,548,119.
The decline in revenue is primarily related to decreases in one time revenue from the addition in 2019 of new multi-year customer
contracts and a decrease in revenue from data consulting projects which were completed during 2019. Given the disruption caused
to our hospital customers by the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect that our near-term revenues will likely be adversely impacted.
Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased $5,320,677 to $7,742,850
for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $13,063,527 in the same period of 2019. This decrease is largely due to decreases
of approximately $3.8 million in non-cash stock compensation, approximately $900,000 in salary expense, approximately $415,000 in travel
expense, approximately $775,000 in accounting and auditing expense, and approximately $930,000 in research and development costs, partially
offset by an increase of approximately $973,000 in legal fees largely related to the matters described in Item 3. Legal Proceedings in
2020.
We
had other expense of $1,357,339 in 2020 compared to other income of $584,991 in 2019. In 2020, other expenses were related to
losses on stock settlement of payables. In 2019, there was a gain on the fair value of convertible note receivable of $372,282
and a gain on the fair value of asset (warrant) in 2019 of $55,000. Interest expense decreased from $23,720 in 2019 to $0 in 2020.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Going
Concern
Management has concluded and
our auditors have indicated in their report on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 that conditions
exist that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern since we may not have sufficient capital resources
from operations and existing financing arrangements to meet our operating expenses and working capital requirements. As of December 31,
2020, we had a working capital deficit of $2,414,635 and accumulated deficit of $20,196,823. During the year ended December 31, 2020,
we had a net loss of $7,402,350 and used $959,070 of cash in operations. We have historically incurred operating losses and may continue
to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. We believe that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. This may hinder our future ability to obtain financing or may force us to obtain financing on less favorable terms
than would otherwise be available. If we are unable to develop sufficient revenues and additional customers for our products and services,
we may not generate enough revenue to sustain our business, and we may fail, in which case our stockholders would suffer a total loss
of their investment. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
On
May 5, 2020, we obtained a $293,972 unsecured loan payable through the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which
was enacted as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES ACT”). The funds were received
from Bank of America through a loan agreement pursuant to the CARES Act. The CARES Act was established in order to enable small
businesses to pay employees during the economic slowdown caused by COVID-19 by providing forgivable loans to qualifying businesses
for up to 2.5 times their average monthly payroll costs. The amount borrowed under the CARES Act and used for payroll costs, rent,
mortgage interest, and utility costs during the 24 week period after the date of loan disbursement is eligible to be forgiven
provided that (a) we use the PPP Funds during the eight week period after receipt thereof, and (b) the PPP Funds are only used
to cover payroll costs (including benefits), rent, mortgage interest, and utility costs. While the full loan amount may be forgiven,
the amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if, among other reasons, we do not maintain staffing or payroll levels or less
than 60% of the loan proceeds are used for payroll costs. Principal and interest payments on any unforgiven portion of the PPP
Funds (the “PPP Loan”) will be deferred to the date the SBA remits the borrower’s loan forgiveness amount to
the lender or, if the borrower does not apply for loan forgiveness, 10 months after the end of the borrower’s loan forgiveness
period for six months and will accrue interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.0% and carry a two year maturity date. There is no
prepayment penalty on the CARES Act Loan.
37
On
March 17, 2021, we received an additional $139,595 in financing from the US government’s Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”).
We entered into a loan agreement with Bank of America. This loan agreement was pursuant to the CARES Act. The CARES Act was established
in order to enable small businesses to pay employees during the economic slowdown caused by COVID-19 by providing forgivable loans
to qualifying businesses for up to 2.5 times their average monthly payroll costs. The amount borrowed under the CARES Act is eligible
to be forgiven provided that (a) the Company uses the PPP Funds during the six month period after receipt thereof, and (b) the
PPP Funds are only used to cover payroll costs (including benefits), rent, mortgage interest, and utility costs. The amount of
loan forgiveness will be reduced if, among other reasons, the Company does not maintain staffing or payroll levels. Principal
and interest payments on any unforgiven portion of the PPP Funds (the “PPP Loan”) will be deferred for six months
and will accrue interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.0% and carry a two year maturity date. There is no prepayment penalty on
the CARES Act Loan.
During
May 2020, we received $515,000 from the sale of 135,527 shares of common stock (at a price of $3.80 per share) and warrants to
purchase 169,409 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. Of the $515,000 investment, $125,000 is subject
to execution of definitive documents.
We are currently experiencing
a working capital deficiency. As of December 31, 2020, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $2.4 million, compared to a deficit
of approximately $1.8 million as of December 31, 2019. The approximate $645,000 increase in our working capital deficit was due primarily
to an approximate $969,000 increase in contract liabilities, due to the selling additional annual contracts to customers, an approximate
$375,000 increase in equity financing not yet converted, an approximate $188,000 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, an
approximate $112,000 decrease in cash, and an approximate $77,000 decrease in accounts receivable, partially offset by an approximate
$998,000 increase in inventory and an approximate $76,000 increase in prepaid expenses.
As of May 15, 2021, we had only limited cash on hand, and we are experiencing
negative cash flows from operations. Consequently, we need to raise additional capital as soon as possible to fund our operations and
the implementation of our business plan.
Based
on our current business plan, we anticipate that our operating activities will use approximately $400,000 in cash per month over
the next twelve months, or approximately $4.8 million. Currently we have limited cash on hand, and consequently, we are unable
to implement our current business plan. Accordingly, we have an immediate need for additional capital to fund our operating activities.
In order to remedy this liquidity deficiency, we have cut spending
and are actively seeking to raise additional funds through the sale of equity and debt securities, and ultimately, we will need to generate
substantial positive operating cash flows. Our internal sources of funds will consist of cash flows from operations, but not until we
begin to realize additional revenues from the sale of our products and services. As previously stated, our operations are generating negative
cash flows, and thus adversely affecting our liquidity. If we are able to secure sufficient funding in the second quarter of 2021 to fully
implement our business plan, we expect that our operations could begin to generate significant cash flows in the first quarter of 2022,
which should ameliorate our liquidity deficiency. If we are unable to raise additional funds in the near term, we will not be able to
fully implement our business plan, in which case there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
In
the event we do not generate sufficient funds from revenues or financing through the issuance of common stock or from debt financing,
we will be unable to fully implement our business plan and pay our obligations as they become due, any of which circumstances
would have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. The accompanying
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to recover the value of
its assets or satisfy its liabilities (see Note 2 to the Financial Statements - Liquidity/Going Concern).
Based
on our current limited availability of funds, we expect to spend minimal amounts on software development and capital expenditures.
We expect to fund any software development expenditures through a combination of cash flows from operations and proceeds from
equity and/or debt financing. If we are unable to generate positive cash flows from operations, and/or raise additional funds
(either through debt or equity), we will be unable to fund our software development expenditures, in which case, there could be
an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our operations through December 31, 2020 have resulted in negative
cash flows from operations of $959,070. If we are able to raise additional capital during the second quarter of 2021 and generate additional
revenue through the acquisition of new customers, coupled with an anticipated reduction in legal and accounting expenses, we believe we
may begin to generate positive operating cash flows during the first quarter of 2022. However, there is no assurance we will be able to
increase our revenue sufficiently so as to generate positive operating cash flows within this time frame.

The

Item
9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
On
October 14, 2020, Withum Smith + Brown (“Withum”), SCWorx Corp.’s independent registered public accounting firm,
notified SCWorx Corp. (the “Company” or “Registrant”) that it would no longer be able to provide audit
and review services to the Company, effective October 14, 2020. The audit and review services were discontinued for reasons unrelated
to the reviews or audited financials of the Company. Withum has audited the Company’s financial statements since 2019.
Withum’s
report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 did not contain an adverse opinion
or disclaimer of opinion, nor was such report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle, except
for an explanatory paragraph relating to a substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and through October 14, 2020, there were no disagreements with Withum on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to
Withum’s satisfaction, would have caused Withum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection
with its report.
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and through October 14, 2020, there were no “reportable events” as defined
under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
On
October 20, 2020, the Company appointed Sadler Gibb & Associates, LLC (“SG”) as its new independent registered
public accounting firm, effective immediately, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. This appointment was authorized and
approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
During
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and through October 20, 2020, the Company did not consult with SG on the application
of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or consult with SG for the type of audit opinion
that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, where a written report or oral advice was provided
that SG concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial
reporting issue. In addition, the Company did not consult with SG on the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)
of Regulation S-K and the related instructions or on any “reportable events” as identified under Item 304(a)(1)(v)
of Regulation S-K.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form
8-K filed April 21, 2021, on April 15, 2021, Sadler Gibb & Associates, LLC notified the Company that it was (i) terminating its engagement
to provide audit and review services to the Company, effective April 14, 2021, and (ii) withdrawing its consent and association with the
Completed Interim Review of the consolidated financial statements performed by SG for the period ended September 30, 2020. SG’s
Letter stated that, in reaching this conclusion, it believed that it cannot rely on the representations of management and that there are
disagreements between the Company and SG on matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of SG, would have caused SG to make reference to the subject
matter of the disagreement in their reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company disagreed with SG’s
belief regarding the representations of management and requested the opportunity to explain its position to SG, but SG declined such request.
The Company and SG also disagreed about the number of reporting units the Company has for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s
CFO discussed with SG the number of reporting units. In addition, the Company engaged an independent technical accounting expert who also
discussed the Company’s position with SG.
On April 19, 2021, the Company
appointed BF Borgers CPA PC (“BFB”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately, for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. This appointment was authorized and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board
of Directors.
Item
9A. Controls and Procedures
Management’s
Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”),
as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), as of December 31, 2020, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as required
by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with
the participation of management, including our President/COO and Chief Financial Officer, based on the 2013 framework and criteria
established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness
of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide
reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon this evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that, due to deficiencies in the design of internal controls and lack of segregation of duties, our Disclosure Controls
were not effective as of December 31, 2020, such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under
the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal
financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
40
Management
Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Our
management has identified material weaknesses in our internal controls related to deficiencies in the design of internal controls
and segregation of duties. Management is planning to meet with the Audit Committee to discuss remediation efforts, which are expected
to be resolved during 2021, or until such time as management is able to conclude that its remediation efforts are designed and
operating effectively. Our management is actively looking for additional accounting and finance personnel to assist in the remediation
efforts.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that the consolidated financial
statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results
of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.
We
may in the future identify other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in connection with our internal control over
financial reporting. Material weaknesses and significant deficiencies that may be identified in the future will need to be addressed
as part of our quarterly and annual evaluations of our internal controls over financial reporting under Sections 302 and 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Any future disclosures of a material weakness, or errors as a result of a material weakness, could
result in a negative reaction in the financial markets and a decrease in the price of our common stock.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company hired a new CFO to manage financial reporting, increase the segregation of
duties, and implement increased financial controls.

Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered
class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, statements of changes in beneficial

Based
solely on our review of the copies of such reports received by us, and on written representations by our officers and directors

an independent investigation of our own, we believe that with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, our officers
and directors, and all of the persons known to us to beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock filed all required reports
on a timely basis except for an initial Form 4 filing by our newly appointed CFO due to his needing to apply for Edgar codes.

13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions
The
Company incurred interest expense of $23,720 to Mark Munro, a related party during the year ended December 31, 2019, which was
accrued and converted to Series A Preferred Stock in 2019.
On
July 24, 2020, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer, Marc Schessel, transferred 20,000 of his personally held common
shares to Mark Shefts, a Director as compensation for acting as a director. The company deemed this transfer to be in consideration
for services and recorded a non-cash expense of $115,100 for the fair value of the shares transferred.
Included
in accounts payable at December 31, 2020 are amounts due to officers of the Company in the amount of $153,838.
Included
in accounts receivable at December 31, 2020 are amounts due from a former officer and director of the Company in the amount of
$28,673.
On January 19, 2020, Marc. S. Schessel’s employment as CEO
of SCWorx, Corp., a Delaware corporation, ceased by mutual agreement, and the Company and Mr. Schessel concurrently entered into a consulting
agreement under which Mr. Schessel will provide consulting services to the Company. The Consulting Agreement provides for annual consulting
fees of $295,000. In addition, such agreement provides for cash and equity bonuses based on revenue generation. The Consulting Agreement
is for a term of two years, but may be terminated by the Company for “cause” (as defined) or by either party for any reason
or no reason upon sixty days prior notice. The Consulting Agreement also contains non-competition and non-solicitation provisions which
are applicable during the term of the Consulting Agreement and for a period of two years thereafter.

Director
Independence
The
rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, or the Nasdaq Rules, require a majority of a listed company’s board of directors to
be composed of independent directors within one year of listing. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules require that, subject to specified
exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees be independent.
Under the Nasdaq Rules, a director will qualify as an independent director only if, in the opinion of our Board of Directors,
that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities
of a director. The Nasdaq Rules also require that audit committee members satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3
under the Exchange Act, as amended. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee
of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or
any other board committee, accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed
company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries. In considering
the independence of compensation committee members, the Nasdaq Rules require that our Board of Directors must consider additional
factors relevant to the duties of a compensation committee member, including the source of any compensation we pay to the director
and any affiliations with our company.
Our
Board of Directors undertook a review of the composition of our Board of Directors and its committees and the independence of
each director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations,
including family relationships, our Board of Directors has determined that each of our directors other than Mark Schessel, and
Tim Hannibal, is independent based on the definition of independence in the Nasdaq listing standards.

To
the shareholders and the board of directors of SCWorx Corp.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SCWorx Corp. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020, the related
statement of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively
referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then
ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial
Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
2 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's
financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or
fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders’ and the Board of Directors
of SCWorx Corp.:
Opinion On The Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet of SCWorx Corp. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred
to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt Regarding Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements,
the entity has suffered recurring losses from operations, has negative cash flows from operations, and has an accumulated deficit, that
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws
and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with
the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required
to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we were
required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company's auditor since
2018.

1. Description of Business
Nature
of Business
SCWorx,
LLC (n/k/a SCW FL Corp.) (“SCW LLC”) was a privately held limited liability company which was organized in Florida
on November 17, 2016. On December 31, 2017, SCW LLC acquired Primrose Solutions, LLC (“Primrose”), a Delaware limited
liability company, which became its wholly-owned subsidiary and focused on developing functionality for the software now used
and sold by SCWorx Corp. (the “Company” or “SCWorx”). The majority interest holders of Primrose were interest
holders of SCW LLC and based upon Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5G, the technology acquired has been accounted for at predecessor
cost of $0. To facilitate the planned acquisition by Alliance MMA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Alliance”), on June
27, 2018, SCW LLC merged with and into a newly-formed entity, SCWorx Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SCW Acquisition”),
with SCW Acquisition being the surviving entity. Subsequently, on August 17, 2018, SCW Acquisition changed its name to SCWorx
Corp. On November 30, 2018, the Company and certain of its stockholders agreed to cancel 6,510 shares of common stock. In June
2018, the Company began to collect subscriptions for common stock. From June to November 2018, the Company collected $1,250,000
in subscriptions and issued 3,125 shares of common stock to new third-party investors. In addition, on February 1, 2019, (i) SCWorx
Corp. (f/k/a SCWorx Acquisition Corp.) changed its name to SCW FL Corp. (to allow Alliance to change its name to SCWorx Corp.)
and (ii) Alliance acquired SCWorx Corp. (n/k/a SCW FL Corp.) in a stock-for-stock exchange transaction and changed Alliance’s
name to SCWorx Corp., which is the Company’s current name, with SCW FL Corp. becoming the Company’s subsidiary. On
March 16, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, SCWorx established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Direct-Worx, LLC.
Business
Combination and Related Transactions
On
February 1, 2019, Alliance MMA completed the acquisition of SCWorx, changed its name to SCWorx Corp., changed its ticker symbol
to “WORX”, and effected a one-for-nineteen reverse stock split of its common stock which combined the 100,000,000
Alliance shares of common stock issued to the Company’s shareholders into 5,263,158 shares of common stock of the newly
combined company.
From
a legal perspective, Alliance MMA acquired SCWorx FL Corp, and as a result, historical equity awards including stock options and
warrants are carried forward at their historical basis.
From
an accounting perspective, Alliance MMA was acquired by SCWorx FL Corp in a reverse merger and as a result, the Company has completed
purchase accounting for the transaction.
Operations
of the Business
SCWorx
is a leading provider of data content and services related to the repair, normalization and interoperability of information for
healthcare providers and big data analytics for the healthcare industry.
SCWorx
has developed and markets health information technology solutions and associated services that improve healthcare processes and
information flow within hospitals. SCWorx’s software platform enables healthcare providers to simplify, repair, and organize
its data (“data normalization”), allows the data to be utilized across multiple internal software applications (“interoperability”)
and provides the basis for sophisticated data analytics (“big data”). SCWorx’s solutions are designed to improve
the flow of information quickly and accurately between the existing supply chain, electronic medical records, clinical systems,
and patient billing functions. The software is designed to achieve multiple operational benefits such as supply chain cost reductions,
decreased accounts receivables aging, accelerated and more accurate billing, contract optimization, increased supply chain management
and cost visibility, synchronous Charge Description Master (“CDM”) and control of vendor rebates and contract administration
fees.
F- 8
SCWorx
empowers healthcare providers to maintain comprehensive access and visibility to an advanced business intelligence that enables
better decision-making and reductions in product costs and utilization, ultimately leading to accelerated and accurate patient
billing. SCWorx’s software modules perform separate functions as follows:
●
virtualized
Item Master File repair, expansion and automation;
●
CDM
management;
●
contract
management;
●
request
for proposal automation;
●
rebate
management;
●
big
data analytics modeling; and
●
data
integration and warehousing.
SCWorx
continues to provide transformational data-driven solutions to some of the finest, most well-respected healthcare providers in
the United States. Clients are geographically dispersed throughout the country. The Company’s focus is to assist healthcare
providers with issues they have pertaining to data interoperability. SCWorx provides these solutions through a combination of
direct sales and relationships with strategic partners.
SCWorx’s
software solutions are delivered to clients within a fixed term period, typically a three-to-five-year contracted term, where
such software is hosted in SCWorx data centers (Amazon Web Service’s “AWS” or RackSpace) and accessed by the
client through a secure connection in a software as a service (“SaaS”) delivery method.
SCWorx
currently sells its solutions and services in the United States to hospitals and health systems through its direct sales force
and its distribution and reseller partnerships.
On
March 16, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, SCWorx established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Direct-Worx, LLC, with the
intention of utilizing the SCWorx database to identify trends within the purchasing supply chain and then use this information
to assist the Company in its endeavors to provide critical, difficult-to-find items for the healthcare industry.
The
Company sought to provide COVID-19 Rapid Test Kits and PPE — Personal Protective Equipment to the healthcare industry. PPE
includes items such as masks, gloves, gowns, shields, etc.
The
Company has extensive experience in the healthcare industry and industry contacts, and a database of items specifically designated
to assist the healthcare industry in fulfilling its inventory demands.
The
sale of PPE and rapid test kits for COVID-19 represented a new business for the Company and is subject to the myriad risks associated
with any new venture. The Company encountered great difficulty in attempting to secure reliable sources of supply for both COVID-19
Rapid Test Kits and PPE The Company currently has no contracted supply of Rapid Test Kits or PPE. During the year ended December
31, 2020, the Company has completed only minimal sales of COVID-19 rapid test kits and PPE. In addition, changes in market conditions
and FDA processes governing the sale of COVID-19 serology tests could have the effect of rendering the COVID-19 serology tests
held by the Company not saleable in the United States, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate any significant revenue
from the sale of PPE products or rapid test kits, and as of the date of this report, the Company has not generated any material
revenue from the sale of PPE or rapid test kits.
The
Company is no longer actively seeking to procure and sell Test Kits or PPE. Instead, the Company is focused on selling its
current inventory of PPE and Test Kits. The Company may receive commissions for acting as an intermediary with respect to the
sale of PPE and/or Test Kits. However, there is no assurance the Company will realize any material revenue from these activities.
SCWorx,
as part of the acquisition of Alliance MMA, operates an online event ticketing platform focused on serving regional MMA (“mixed
martial arts”) promotions.
F- 9
Impact
of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The
Company’s operations and business have experienced disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19
pandemic spreading throughout the United States and the world. The New York and New Jersey area, where the Company is headquartered,
was at one of the early epicenters of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States. The outbreak has since spread to the rest
of the country and is adversely impacting new customer acquisition. The Company has been following the recommendations of local
health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its team members since the outbreak.
In
addition, the Company’s customers (hospitals) have also experienced extraordinary disruptions to their businesses and supply
chains, while experiencing unprecedented demand for health care services related to COVID-19. As a result of these extraordinary
disruptions to the Company’s customers’ business, the Company’s customers are currently focused on meeting the
nation’s health care needs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the Company believes that its customers have
not been able to focus resources on expanding the utilization of the Company’s services, which has adversely impacted the
Company’s future growth prospects, at least until the adverse effects of the pandemic subside. In addition, the financial
impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s hospital customers could cause the hospitals to delay payments due to the Company for
services, which could negatively impact the Company’s cash flows.
The
Company is endeavoring to mitigate these impacts to revenue through the sale of personal protective equipment (“PPE”)
and COVID-19 rapid test kits to the health care industry, including many of the Company’s hospital customers. The Company’s
Chief Executive Officer and employees have experience in the healthcare industry and industry contacts, and a database of items
designed to assist the healthcare industry in fulfilling its inventory demands.
On
March 16, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, SCWorx established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Direct-Worx, LLC to endeavor
to source and provide critical, difficult-to-find items for the healthcare industry. Items have become difficult to source due
to unexpected disruptions within the supply chain, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Notwithstanding these efforts, the Company
has to date realized only a minimal amount of revenue from the sale of PPE and Test Kits.
Note
2. Liquidity and Going Concern
Liquidity
and Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment
that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company has suffered recurring
losses from operations and incurred a net loss of $7,402,350 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and $11,312,500 for the year ended December
31, 2019. The accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2020 was $20,196,823 The Company has not yet achieved profitability and expects to
continue to incur cash outflows from operations. It is expected that its operating expenses will continue to increase and, as a result,
the Company will eventually need to generate significant increases in product revenues to achieve profitability. These conditions indicate
that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statement
issuance date.
As
of the filing date of this Report, the Company has only limited cash on hand, and management believes that there may not be sufficient
capital resources from operations and existing financing arrangements in order to meet operating expenses and working capital
requirements for the next twelve months.
Accordingly,
we are evaluating various alternatives, including reducing operating expenses, securing additional financing through debt or equity
securities to fund future business activities and other strategic alternatives. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to generate the level of operating revenues in its business plan, or if additional sources of financing will be available
on acceptable terms, if at all. If no additional sources of financing are available, our future operating prospects may be adversely
affected. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
F- 10
Note
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance to U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SCWorx and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reverse
Stock Split
On
February 1, 2019, the Company effected a 1-for-19 reverse stock split with respect to the outstanding shares of its common stock.
The reverse stock split was deemed effective on February 4, 2019. The reverse stock split did not affect the total number of shares
of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue, which is 45,000,000 shares. The reverse stock split also did not affect
the total number of shares of Series A preferred stock that the Company is authorized to issue, which is 900,000 shares. Share
and per share data have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the reverse stock split unless otherwise noted.
Cash
Cash is maintained with various
financial institutions. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally
of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000.
Amounts in excess of the FDIC insured limit for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $113,361 and zero, respectively.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Management
applies fair value accounting for significant financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Management defines fair value
as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required
to be recorded at fair value, management considers the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the
market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks
inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy,
which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon
the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable
or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 - Inputs
that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would
use in pricing the asset or liability.
Concentration
of Credit and Other Risks
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, accounts
receivable, due from shareholder, convertible notes receivable and warrants. The Company believes that any concentration of credit
risk in its accounts receivable is substantially mitigated by the Company’s evaluation process, relatively short collection
terms and the high level of credit worthiness of its customers. The Company performs ongoing internal credit evaluations of its
customers’ financial condition, obtains deposits and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary but generally
requires no collateral. The Company believes that any concentration of credit risk in its due from shareholder and convertible
notes receivable was substantially mitigated by the shareholder’s material interest in the Company, ability to sell off
portions of the interest, if necessary, and the closing of the acquisition of SCWorx by Alliance and conversion of the notes payable
- related party into shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the settlement of the due from stockholder balance with
the surrender of 1,401 SCWorx shares of common stock in January 2019.
F- 11
For the
year ended December 31, 2020 the Company had two customers representing 22% and 17% of aggregate revenues. For the year ended
December 31, 2019, the Company had two customers representing 19% and 10% of aggregate revenues. At December 31, 2020, we had three
customers representing 35%, 32% and 10% of aggregate accounts receivable. At December 31, 2019, the Company had four customers representing
17%, 14%, 10% and 10% of aggregate accounts receivable.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
The
Company continually monitors customer payments and maintains a reserve for estimated losses resulting from its customers’
inability to make required payments. In determining the reserve, the Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable
based upon a variety of factors. In cases where the Company becomes aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s
ability to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific allowance against amounts due. For all other customers,
the Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on its historical write-off experience in conjunction with the length
of time the receivables are past due, customer creditworthiness, geographic risk and the current business environment. Actual
future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from the Company’s estimates. The Company recorded an allowance for
doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 of $183,277 and $344,412, respectively.
Inventory
The
inventory balance at December 31, 2020 is related to the Company’s Direct-Worx, LLC subsidiary and consisted of approximately
87,000 gowns and approximately 47,000 test kits. These items are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at cost. A company
affiliated with a shareholder advanced the $475,000 in cash to the supplier of the test kits and the amount due is recorded in
shareholder advance.
Inventory
is valued at the lower of cost or market value. When market value is determined to be less than cost, the Company records an allowance. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had allowances of $0.
Leases
The
Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The current portion of lease obligations are included in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s
right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease
payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present
value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company
uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of
lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which are included in the
lease ROU asset when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease components only, none with
non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately (refer to Note 7, Leases, for additional detail).
Business
Combinations
The
Company includes the results of operations of a business it acquires in its consolidated results as of the date of acquisition.
The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase consideration of its acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities and
intangible assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over
the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The primary items that generate goodwill
include the value of the synergies between the acquired businesses and the Company. Intangible assets are amortized over their
estimated useful lives. The fair value of contingent consideration (earn out) associated with acquisitions is remeasured each
reporting period and adjusted accordingly. Acquisition and integration related costs are recognized separately from the business
combination and are expensed as incurred. For additional information regarding the Company’s acquisitions, refer to Note
5, Business Combinations.
F- 12
Goodwill
and Purchased Identified Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill
is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net
tangible and identified intangible assets acquired under a business combination. Goodwill also includes acquired assembled workforce,
which does not qualify as an identifiable intangible asset. The Company reviews impairment of goodwill annually in the fourth quarter,
or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. The Company first assesses qualitative
factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the totality
of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit
is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary.
Identified
intangible assets
Identified
finite-lived intangible assets consist of ticketing software and promoter relationships resulting from the February 1, 2019 business
combination. The Company’s identified intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives, ranging from 5 to 7 years. The Company makes judgments about the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever
facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets
may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses recoverability by comparing the projected
undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective
carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If
the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the Company would accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining
carrying value over the new shorter useful life.
For
further discussion of goodwill and identified intangible assets, refer to Note 5, Business Combinations.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over
the related assets’ estimated useful lives. Equipment, furniture and fixtures are being amortized over a period of three
years.
Expenditures
that materially increase asset life are capitalized, while ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation
expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $29,043 and $6,453, respectively.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Topic 606 to depict the transfer of promised goods or services in an amount that
reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue
recognition for arrangements within the scope of Topic 606 the Company performs the following steps:
●
Step
1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
●
Step
2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
●
Step
3: Determine the transaction price
●
Step
4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
●
Step
5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
F- 13
The
Company follows the accounting revenue guidance under Topic 606 to determine whether contracts contain more than one
performance obligation. Performance obligations are the unit of accounting for revenue recognition and generally represent the
distinct goods or services that are promised to the customer.
The
Company has identified the following performance obligations in its SaaS contracts with customers:
1)
Data
Normalization: which includes data preparation, product and vendor mapping, product categorization, data enrichment and other
data related services,
2)
Software-as-a-service
(“SaaS”): which is generated from clients’ access of and usage of the Company’s hosted software
solutions on a subscription basis for a specified contract term, which is usually annually. In SaaS arrangements, the client
cannot take possession of the software during the term of the contract and generally has the right to access and use the software
and receive any software upgrades published during the subscription period,
3)
Maintenance:
which includes ongoing data cleansing and normalization, content enrichment, and optimization, and
4)
Professional
Services: mainly related to specific customer projects to manage and/or analyze data and review for cost reduction opportunities.
A
contract will typically include Data Normalization, SaaS and Maintenance, which are distinct performance obligations and are accounted
for separately. The transaction price is allocated to each separate performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price
basis. Significant judgement is required to determine the stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation and
is typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a stand-alone basis. At contract inception,
an assessment of the goods and services promised in the contracts with customers is performed and a performance obligation is
identified for each distinct promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services). To identify
the performance obligations, the Company considers all the goods or services promised in the contract regardless of whether
they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation has
been met. The Company considers control to have transferred upon delivery because the Company has a present right to payment at
that time, the Company has transferred use of the good or service, and the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially
all the remaining benefits from, the good or service.
The
Company’s SaaS and Maintenance contracts typically have termination for convenience without penalty clauses and accordingly,
are generally accounted for as month-to-month agreements. If it is determined that the Company has not satisfied a performance
obligation, revenue recognition will be deferred until the performance obligation is deemed to be satisfied.
Revenue
recognition for the Company’s performance obligations are as follows:
Data
Normalization and Professional Services
The
Company’s Data Normalization and Professional Services are typically fixed fee. When these services are not combined with
SaaS or Maintenance revenues as a single unit of accounting, these revenues are recognized as the services are rendered and when
contractual milestones are achieved and accepted by the customer.
SaaS
and Maintenance
SaaS
and Maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the contract terms beginning on the commencement date of each contract, which
is the date on which the Company’s service is made available to customers.
The
Company does have some contracts that have payment terms that differ from the timing of revenue recognition, which requires the
Company to assess whether the transaction price for those contracts include a significant financing component. The Company has
elected the practical expedient that permits an entity to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component if it
expects that at the contract inception, the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer
and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. The Company does not maintain contracts in which
the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good
or service exceeds the one-year threshold.
F- 14
In
periods prior to the adoption of ASC 606, the Company recognized revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement existed,
delivery had occurred, the sales price was fixed or determinable, and the collectability of the resulting receivable was reasonably
assured. The adoption of Topic 606 did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to the Company’s opening retained earnings
since there was no significant impact upon adoption of Topic 606. There was also no material impact to revenues, or any other
financial statement line items for the year ended December 31, 2018 as a result of applying ASC 606.
The
Company has one revenue stream, from the SaaS business, and believes it has presented all varying factors that affect the nature,
timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows.
PPE Inventory sales
Revenues
from the sale of inventory are typically recognized upon shipment to a customer as long as the Company has met all performance obligations
related to the sale in accordance to Topic 606.
Brokered PPE sales
PPE
revenues are recognized once the customer obtains physical possession of the product(s). Because the Company acts as an agent in arranging
the relationship between the customer and the supplier, PPE revenues are presented net of related costs, including product procurement,
warehouse and shipping fees, etc.
Remaining Performance Obligations
As
of December 31, 2020, we had $2,025,333 of remaining performance obligations recorded as deferred revenue. We expect to recognize
sales relating to these existing performance obligations of during 2021.
Costs
to Fulfill a Contract
Costs
to fulfill a contract typically include costs related to satisfying performance obligations as well as general and administrative
costs that are not explicitly chargeable to customer contracts. These expenses are recognized and expensed when incurred in accordance
with ASC 340-40.
Cost
of Revenue
Cost
of revenues primarily represent data center hosting costs, consulting services and maintenance of the Company’s large data
array that were incurred in delivering professional services and maintenance of the Company’s large data array during the
periods presented.
Contract
Balances
Contract
assets arise when the revenue associated prior to the Company’s unconditional right to receive a payment under a contract
with a customer ( i.e ., unbilled revenue) and are derecognized when either it becomes a receivable or the cash is received.
There were no contract assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Contract
liabilities arise when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of our company satisfying our performance obligations
under the contract and are derecognized when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized when the performance obligation
is satisfied. Contract liabilities were $2,025,333 and $1,056,637 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Income
Taxes
The
Company converted to a corporation from a limited liability company during 2018.
The
Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount
of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting
from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Valuation
allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has evaluated available evidence and concluded
that the Company may not realize all the benefits of its deferred tax assets; therefore, a valuation allowance has been established
for its deferred tax assets.
ASC
Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements
and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions
for any of the reporting periods presented.
F- 15
On
December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. The Tax Act significantly revised
the U.S. corporate income tax regime by, including but not limited to, lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 34% to
21% effective January 1, 2018, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time transition tax on previously untaxed
accumulated earnings and profits of foreign subsidiaries, and creating new taxes on foreign sourced earnings. The Company completed
the accounting for tax effects of the Tax Act under ASC 740. There were no impacts to the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the authoritative guidance on share-based payments. Under
the provisions of the guidance, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the
option or warrant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite
service period, which is generally the vesting period.
The
authoritative guidance also requires that the Company measures and recognizes stock-based compensation expense upon modification
of the term of stock award. The stock-based compensation expense for such modification is accounted for as a repurchase of the
original award and the issuance of a new award.
Calculating
stock-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the stock-based
awards, stock price volatility, and the pre-vesting option forfeiture rate. The Company estimates the expected life of options
granted based on historical exercise patterns, which are believed to be representative of future behavior. The Company estimates
the volatility of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant based on historical volatility. The assumptions used in
calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent
uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different
assumptions, its stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required
to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. The Company estimates the
forfeiture rate based on historical experience of its stock-based awards that are granted, exercised and cancelled. If the actual
forfeiture rate is materially different from the estimate, stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from
what was recorded in the current period. The Company also grants performance based restricted stock awards to employees and consultants.
These awards will vest if certain employee\consultant-specific or company-designated performance targets are achieved. If minimum
performance thresholds are achieved, each award will convert into a designated number of the Company’s common stock. If
minimum performance thresholds are not achieved, then no shares will be issued. Based upon the expected levels of achievement,
stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The expected levels of achievement
are reassessed over the requisite service periods and, to the extent that the expected levels of achievement change, stock-based
compensation is adjusted in the period of change and recorded on the statements of operations and the remaining unrecognized stock-based
compensation is recorded over the remaining requisite service period. Refer to Note 9, Stockholders’ Equity, for additional
detail.
Loss
Per Share
The
Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation
of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed
by dividing the loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator)
during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury
stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price
for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants.
Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company
had 790,847 and 1,650,511, respectively, common stock equivalents outstanding.
Indemnification
The
Company provides indemnification of varying scope to certain customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made
by third parties arising from the use of the Company’s software. In accordance with authoritative guidance for accounting
for guarantees, the Company evaluates estimated losses for such indemnification. The Company considers such factors as the degree
of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. To date, no such
claims have been filed against the Company and no liability has been recorded in its financial statements.
F- 16
As
permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events
or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The maximum
potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. In
addition, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce its financial
exposure and may enable it to recover any payments above the applicable policy retention, should they occur.
In connection with the Class Action and derivative claims and investigations
described in Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, the Company is obligated to indemnify its officers and directors for costs incurred
in defending against these claims and investigations.
Contingencies
The
Company records a liability when the Company believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can
be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible, and the loss or range of loss can be estimated,
the Company discloses the possible loss in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company reviews the developments
in its contingencies that could affect the amount of the provisions that has been previously recorded, and the matters and related
possible losses disclosed. The Company adjusts provisions and changes to its disclosures accordingly to reflect the impact of
negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. Significant judgment is required to determine
both the probability and the estimated amount.
Legal
costs associated with loss contingencies are accrued based upon legal expenses incurred by the end of the reporting period.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly
evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated useful lives and recoverability
of long-lived assets, equity component of convertible debt, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation
allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors
that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the
carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent
there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Actual
results could differ materially from those estimates.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset
and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, on the balance sheet for all
leases with terms longer than 12 months, as well as the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. Disclosures
are required to provide the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. A modified retrospective transition
approach is provided for lessees of leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period
presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. In July
2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”). ASU 2018-11
allows all entities adopting ASU 2016-02 to choose an additional (and optional) transition method of adoption, under which an
entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening
balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. ASU 2018-11 also allows lessors to not separate non-lease components from
the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 in the
quarter beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption resulted in the recognition of additional disclosures and a right of use asset
of approximately $53,000 included as a component of prepaid expenses and other assets and a lease liability of approximately $53,000,
which is included as a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2019. The Company did not have any
right of use assets or lease liabilities at December 31, 2020.
In
October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party
Guidance for Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2018-17”). ASU 2018-17 provides that indirect interests held
through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees
paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. ASU 2018-17 is effective for annual and interim periods
beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal
2020, and the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
F- 17
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes
to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure
requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and earlier adoption is
permitted. We adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and the adoption of the standard did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill
Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an
entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair
value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal
2020, and the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Stock-based Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment
Accounting, which amends the existing accounting standards for share-based payments to nonemployees. This ASU aligns much
of the guidance on measuring and classifying nonemployee awards with that of awards to employees. Under the new guidance, the
measurement of nonemployee equity awards is fixed on the grant date. The effective date for the standard is for interim periods
in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, but no earlier than our adoption date of Topic
606. The new guidance is required to be applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application.
We adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, and the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact
on our consolidated financial statements.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”) “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASC
326”): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” which requires the measurement and recognition of expected
credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with
an expected loss model which requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. It also eliminates
the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be
recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These
changes will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 “Financial Instruments
– Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASC 2019-10”),
which defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within
those fiscal years, for public entities which meet the definition of a smaller reporting company. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-13
effective January 1, 2023. Management is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the consolidated financial
statements. The effect will largely depend on the composition and credit quality of our investment portfolio and the economic
conditions at the time of adoption.

4. Related Party Transactions
The
Company incurred interest expense of $23,720 to Mark Munro, a related party during the year ended December 31, 2019, which was
accrued and converted to Series A Preferred Stock in 2019.
During April, 2020, a company
affiliated with a shareholder advanced $475,000 in cash to the supplier of test kits for their purchase. The amount due is recorded in
shareholder advance.
On
July 24, 2020, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer, Marc Schessel, transferred 20,000 of his personally held common
shares to Mark Shefts, a Director as compensation for acting as a director. The company deemed this transfer to be in consideration
for services and recorded a non-cash expense of $115,100 for the fair value of the shares transferred.
Included
in accounts payable at December 31, 2020 are amounts due to officers of the Company in the amount of $153,838.
Included
in accounts receivable at December 31, 2020 are amounts due from a former officer and director of the Company in the amount of
$28,673.

Purchase
accounting
On
February 1, 2019, the Company’s shareholders exchanged all of its outstanding shares in exchange for 5,263,158 shares of
Alliance common stock. Due to the Company’s shareholders acquiring a controlling interest in Alliance after acquisition,
the transaction was treated as a reverse merger for accounting purposes, with SCWorx being the reporting company. In accordance
with purchase accounting rules under ASC 805, the purchase consideration was $11,765,491.
The
acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets acquired, liabilities assumed and purchase

COVID 19 had on the overall MMA industry where it is currently being utilized had potentially lessened its useful life as currently deployed.
Because of this potential impact, management has chosen to shorten the projected useful life of these assets and accelerate their amortization
accordingly.

6. Loan Payable
Receipt
of CARES funding
On
May 5, 2020, the Company obtained a $293,972 unsecured loan payable through the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which
was enacted as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES ACT”). The funds were received from
Bank of America through a loan agreement pursuant to the CARES Act. The CARES Act was established in order to enable small businesses
to pay employees during the economic slowdown caused by COVID-19 by providing forgivable loans to qualifying businesses for up to 2.5
times their average monthly payroll costs. The amount borrowed under the CARES Act and used for payroll costs, rent, mortgage interest,
and utility costs during the 24 week period after the date of loan disbursement is eligible to be forgiven provided that (a) the Company
uses the PPP Funds during the eight week period after receipt thereof, and (b) the PPP Funds are only used to cover payroll costs (including
benefits), rent, mortgage interest, and utility costs. While the full loan amount may be forgiven, the amount of loan forgiveness will
be reduced if, among other reasons, the Company does not maintain staffing or payroll levels or less than 60% of the loan proceeds are
used for payroll costs. Principal and interest payments on any unforgiven portion of the PPP Funds (the “PPP Loan”) will
be deferred to the date the SBA remits the borrower’s loan forgiveness amount to the lender or, if the borrower does not apply
for loan forgiveness, 10 months after the end of the borrower’s loan forgiveness period for six months and will accrue interest
at a fixed annual rate of 1.0% and carry a two year maturity date. There is no prepayment penalty on the CARES Act Loan. The Company
expects the loan to be fully forgiven.
Note
7. Leases
Operating
Leases
The
Company’s principal executive office in New York City is under a month to month arrangement. The Company also had a lease
in Greenwich, CT which expired in March 2020 and is now month-to-month.
The
Company has operating leases for corporate, business and technician offices. Leases with a probable term of 12 months or less, including
month-to-month agreements, are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, unless the arrangement includes an option to purchase
the underlying asset, or an option to renew the arrangement, that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise (short-term leases).
The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line bases over the lease term. The Company’s only two remaining
leases are month-to-month. As a practical expedient, the Company elected, for all office and facility leases, not to separate non-lease
components (common-area maintenance costs) from lease components (fixed payments including rent) and instead to account for each separate
lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate
for purposes of discounting lease payments.
F- 20
The
Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) electing the practical expedient that
allows the Company not to restate its comparative periods prior to the adoption of the standard on January 1, 2019. As such, the disclosures
required under ASC 842 are not presented for periods before the date of adoption. For the comparative periods prior to adoption, the
Company presented the disclosures which were required under ASC 840. The Company elected the optional transition method and adopted the
new guidance on January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis with no restatement of prior period amounts. As allowed under the new
accounting standard, the Company elected to apply practical expedients to carry forward the original lease determinations, lease classifications
and accounting of initial direct costs for all asset classes at the time of adoption. The Company also elected not to separate lease
components from non-lease components and to exclude short-term leases from its consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s adoption
of the new standard as of January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of approximately $53,000 and liabilities
of approximately $53,000. There was no impact to the accumulated deficit upon adoption of Topic 842.
As
of December 31, 2020, assets recorded under operating leases were $0. Operating lease right of use assets and lease liabilities
are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate
used to determine the commencement date present value of lease payment is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which
is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term at an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar
economic environment. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid
or incentives received.
For
the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the components of lease expense were as follows:

8. Commitments and Contingencies
In
conducting our business, we may become involved in legal proceedings. We will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable
that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established,
the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within
the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might include, for example,
estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred.
On
April 29, 2020, a securities class action case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York against us and our CEO. The action is captioned Daniel Yannes, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiff vs. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants.

All
three lawsuits allege that our company and our CEO mislead investors in connection with our April 13, 2020 press release with
respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits. The plaintiffs in these actions are seeking unspecified monetary damages. These
three class actions were consolidated on September 18, 2020 and Daniel Yannes was designated lead plaintiff. A consolidated Amended
Complaint (“CAC”) was filed on October 19, 2020. The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the CAC on November 18,
2020, and the briefing on that motion was complete on January 8, 2021. We are still awaiting a ruling on the motion, and we intend
to continue vigorously defending against this lawsuit.
On
June 15, 2020, a shareholder derivative claim was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
against Marc S. Schessel, Steven Wallitt (current directors), and Robert Christie and Charles Miller (former directors) (“Director
Defendants”). The action is captioned Javier Lozano, derivatively on behalf of SCWorx Corp., Plaintiff, v. Marc S. Schessel,
Charles K. Miller, Steven Wallitt, Defendants, and SCWorx Corp., Nominal Defendant. This lawsuit alleges that the Director Defendants
breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, including by misleading investors in connection with our April 13, 2020 press
release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits, failing to correct false and misleading statements and failing to
implement proper disclosure and internal controls. The Plaintiff, on our behalf, is seeking an award of monetary damages, improvements
in our disclosure and internal controls, and legal fees. The Director Defendants intend to vigorously defend against these proceedings.
This derivative action is also still pending, and the plaintiff in such action has agreed to voluntarily stay the case until a
ruling on a motion to dismiss, which we intend to file in the securities class action case.
On
August 21, 2020, a shareholder derivative claim was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York against Marc S. Schessel, Steven Wallitt (current directors), and Robert Christie and Charles Miller (former directors) (“Director
Defendants”). The action is captioned Josstyn Richter, derivatively on behalf of SCWorx Corp., Plaintiff, v. Marc S. Schessel,

breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, including by misleading investors in connection with our April 13, 2020 press
release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits, failing to correct false and misleading statements and failing to
implement proper disclosure and internal controls. The Plaintiff, on our behalf, is seeking an award of monetary damages, improvements
in our disclosure and internal controls, and legal fees. The Director Defendants intend to vigorously defend against these proceedings.
On
August 27, 2020, the Lozano and Richter derivative actions were consolidated and jointly stayed until a ruling on a motion to
dismiss which we filed in the securities class action case.
On
September 30, 2020, a shareholder derivative action was filed in the Supreme Court State of New York, New York County against
Marc S. Schessel and Steven Wallitt (current directors) and Charles Miller (a former director). The action is captioned Hemrita
Zarins, derivatively on behalf of SCWorx Corp. v. Marc S. Schessel, Charles Miller, Steven Wallitt and SCWorx, Nominal Defendant.

in connection with the Company’s April 13, 2020 press release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits, failing
to correct false and misleading statements and failing to implement proper disclosure and internal controls. The Plaintiff, on
our behalf, is seeking an award of monetary damages, improvements in our disclosure and internal controls, and legal fees. On
October 28, 2020, Zarins withdrew this action and refiled an action in the Chancery Court in the State of Delaware on October
29, 2020. Zarins named as Defendants Marc S. Schessel, Robert Christie (a former director), Steven Wallitt and SCWorx, Nominal
Defendant. The allegations, as well as the relief sought, in the Delaware Chancery Court proceeding are substantially the same
as that filed in the New York State Action. This action has been stayed pending the ruling on the motion to dismiss in the aforementioned
securities class action. The Director Defendants intend to vigorously defend against these proceedings.
F- 22
In
addition, following the April 13, 2020 press release and related disclosures (related to COVID-19 rapid test kits), the Securities
and Exchange Commission made an inquiry regarding the disclosures we made in relation to the transaction involving COVID-19 test
kits. On April 22, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission ordered that trading in the securities of our company be suspended
because of “questions and concerns regarding the adequacy and accuracy of publicly available information in the marketplace”
(the “SEC Trading Halt”). The SEC Trading Halt expired May 5, 2020, at 11:59 PM EDT. We are fully cooperating with
the SEC’s investigation and are providing documents and other requested information.
In
April 2020, we received related inquiries from The Nasdaq Stock Market and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
We have been fully cooperating with these agencies and providing information and documents, as requested. On May 5, 2020, the
Nasdaq Stock Market informed us that it had initiated a “T12 trading halt,” which means the halt will remain in place
until we have fully satisfied Nasdaq’s request for additional information. We fully cooperated with Nasdaq and responded
to all of Nasdaq’s information requests as they were issued. The T12 trading halt was lifted on August 10, 2020.
Also
in April 2020, we were contacted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey, which is seeking information
and documents from our officers and directors relating primarily to the April 13, 2020 press release concerning COVID-19 rapid
test kits. We are fully cooperating with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in its investigation.
In
connection with these actions and investigations, the Company is obligated to indemnify its officers and directors for costs incurred
in defending against these claims and investigations. Because the Company currently does not have the resources to pay for these
costs, its directors and officers liability insurance carrier has agreed to indemnify these persons even though the $750,000 retention
under such policy has not yet been met. The Company estimates it is currently obligated to pay approximately $700,000 of the retention,
which payments could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The $700,000 has been accrued in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities in these financial statements.
David
Klarman v. SCWorx Corp. f/k/a Alliance MMA, Inc.,
Index
No. 619536/2019 (N.Y. State Sup. Ct., Suffolk County)
On October 3, 2019, David Klarman, a former employee of Alliance, served
a complaint against SCWorx seeking $400,000.00 for a breach of his employment agreement with Alliance. Klarman claims
that Alliance ceased paying him his salary in March 2018 as well as other alleged contractual benefits. SCWorx
does not believe that it owes the amount demanded and intends to vigorously defend against these claims. On March 6, 2020,
SCWorx filed an answer and counterclaims against Mr. Klarman. On September 18, 2020, the Court granted Klarman's counsel's motion
to withdraw as counsel due to "irreconcilable differences." The Court stayed the case for 45 days after service of
the Court's order. Mr. Klarman's wife, Marie Klarman, Esq., filed a Notice of Appearance on November 6, 2020 and filed a motion
on November 9, 2020 seeking various forms of relief -- in violation of the Court's Individual Rules and the Commercial Division Rules.
We opposed Klarman’s motion on December 31, 2020 and the case was marked fully submitted on January 21, 2021. By Decision
and Order dated March 26, 2021, the Court granted Klarman’s motion to dismiss four (4) of fourteen (14) defenses, denied Klarman’s
motion to dismiss SCWorx’s counterclaims against him; denied Klarman’s motion for summary judgment and denied Klarman’s
motion to strike allegations contained in the Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaims based on his contention that such allegations were
“scandalous” or prejudicial. On April 7, 2021, Klarman filed a Reply to the Counterclaims, denying the material allegations
and interposed numerous affirmative defenses. The Court has issued a preliminary conference order, setting a discovery cut-off of
October 2022.
At
this time, we are unable to predict the duration, scope, or possible outcome of these investigations and lawsuits.

10. Net Loss Per Share
Basic
net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding
during each period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average shares
of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. The Company uses
the treasury stock method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding option grants.
The
following securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including
them would have been anti-dilutive:

As
of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $32.6 million and $28.3 million,
respectively, available to offset future taxable income. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had state loss carry-forwards
of approximately $15.1 million and $10.8, respectively. Future utilization of net operating losses may be limited due to potential ownership
changes under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The federal net operating loss carryforwards
can be carried forward indefinitely and state loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2039.
F- 29
The
valuation allowance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $8,893,457 and $7,088,189, respectively. The net change in valuation allowance
for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was an increase of $1,805,268 and $7,014,399, respectively. In assessing the realizability
of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets
will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income
during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income
tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on consideration of these
items, management has determined that enough uncertainty exists relative to the realization of the deferred income tax asset balances
to warrant the application of a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
The
Company had no unrecognized tax benefits during 2020 or 2019. By statute, all tax years are open to examination by the major taxing
jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

12. Subsequent Events
Receipt
of CARES funding
On
March 17, 2021, we received $139,595 in financing from the U.S. government’s Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”).
We entered into a loan agreement with Bank of America. This loan agreement was pursuant to the CARES Act. The CARES Act was established
in order to enable small businesses to pay employees during the economic slowdown caused by COVID-19 by providing forgivable loans
to qualifying businesses for up to 2.5 times their average monthly payroll costs. The amount borrowed under the CARES Act is eligible
to be forgiven provided that (a) the Company uses the PPP Funds during the eight week period after receipt thereof, and (b) the
PPP Funds are only used to cover payroll costs (including benefits), rent, mortgage interest, and utility costs. The amount of
loan forgiveness will be reduced if, among other reasons, the Company does not maintain staffing or payroll levels. Principal
and interest payments on any unforgiven portion of the PPP Funds (the “PPP Loan”) will be deferred for six months
and will accrue interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.0% and carry a two year maturity date. There is no prepayment penalty on
the CARES Act Loan.
Changes
in Management
On
January 19, 2021, Marc. S. Schessel’s employment as CEO of SCWorx, Corp. ceased by mutual agreement, and the Company and
Mr. Schessel concurrently entered into a consulting agreement (“Consulting Agreement”) under which Mr. Schessel will
provide consulting services to the Company. The Consulting Agreement provides for annual consulting fees of $295,000. In addition,
such agreement provides for cash and equity bonuses based on revenue generation. The Consulting Agreement is for a term of two
years, but may be terminated by the Company for “cause” (as defined) or by either party for any reason or no reason
upon sixty days prior notice. The Consulting Agreement also contains non-competition and non-solicitation provisions which are
applicable during the term of the Consulting Agreement and for a period of two years thereafter.
Equity
Issuances
On
January 6, 2021, The Company issued 72,369 shares of common stock and 90,461 5 year warrants to purchase shares of common stock
at $4.00 per share pursuant to the prior receipt of $275,000 in equity financing.
On
February 8, 2021, the Company issued 52,632 shares of common stock to a holder of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock upon
the conversion of 20,000 of such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Between
January 25, 2021 and February 8, 2021, the Company issued a total of 8,832 shares of common stock to holders of fully vested restricted
