The Company
The following organizational chart sets forth the four subsidiaries of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. and the lines of business in which they are engaged, as described below:
Overview
Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. provides a variety of IT services and technologies that enable customers to manage, protect and monetize their enterprise assets whether on-premise, in the Cloud, or via mobile. Historically our revenues were earned from customer bases 100% in the public sector but that has changed significantly with the acquisitions we have made since 2013. Currently, approximately 90% of the revenues we earn are from commercial enterprises and only approximately 10% are from government agencies. Our goal is to continue to build our private and public sector offerings and contracts. We intend to do this by acquiring other businesses.
On March 1, 2013, we acquired Lilien Systems, an enterprise IT infrastructure solutions provider with over $40 million in annual revenue, in consideration of a combination of $6,000,000 in value of common stock and $3 million in cash from debt financing (the “Lilien Acquisition”).
On August 31, 2013, we acquired Shoom, Inc. (“Shoom”) a provider of Cloud-based data analytics and enterprise solutions to the media, publishing, and entertainment industries with over $4 million in annual revenue with a retention rate of approximately 90% (over the last five years) in consideration of a combination of 1,381,000 shares of common stock and $2.5 million in cash (the “Shoom Acquisition”). The cash portion was funded by the excess working capital we obtained from the Shoom Acquisition.
On April 18, 2014, we acquired AirPatrol Corporation (“AirPatrol”), a developer of mobile device identification and locating systems pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 20, 2013, as amended for consideration equal to (a) $10,000,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments, allocated to and among certain creditors, payees and holders of AirPatrol’s issued and outstanding capital stock and (b) 2,000,000 shares of Company common stock, subject to certain adjustments (the “AirPatrol Acquisition”).
The acquisitions of Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol have expanded our depth of enterprise service offerings, including Big Data services and Cloud-based advanced analytics, while providing premier partnership status with leading vendors in IT infrastructure. Shoom also provides Sysorex with secure Cloud-based software products, which result in higher gross margins. These acquisitions reflect our business strategy, the purpose of which is to transform Sysorex from a services company to a technology company. We believe the acquisition of Lilien provides us with an opportunity for vertical market and geographic expansion. We are focusing our primary efforts on the U.S. market in the near-term. We have a small operating unit in Saudi Arabia and we may seek new contracts there. This unit does not represent a significant portion of our business and a failure to obtain contracts from our Saudi Arabian unit will not have a material impact on our revenues or operations.
Cyber security and Big Data analytics are the areas we are targeting because we believe, based on industry data that these are growing market segments. For example, security of all forms, especially cyber-security, are significant growth areas (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal Cyber-Security Market Forecast 2013-2018 dated April 12, 2013), and Sysorex intends to increase its role in this sector. Gartner, Inc., an information technology research and advisory company, predicts that by 2015, 20% of Global 1000 organizations will have established a strategic focus on information infrastructure equal to that of application management. This is one of five Gartner predictions about Big Data and information infrastructure discussed in “Predicts 2013: Big Data and Information Infrastructure;” a November 30, 2012 report that describes in detail how the Big Data phenomenon will affect organizations, resources and information infrastructure. Our plan is to acquire companies with unique technologies and possibly some with patents, which we believe will give us an advantage over our competitors. However, the IT services and technologies industry is extremely competitive and many of the providers in the industry are extremely large and well financed. Therefore, there is a risk that the technologies we acquire or develop could become obsolete if others in the industry develop better products.
Recent events in the federal government including the recent budget impasse and sequestration can impact our business with the federal government if they re-occur. However, our government contracts are less than 10% of our total revenues. Specifically, Congressional action could delay payment on our current contracts, delay the award of contracts that Sysorex has under submission and delay the release of task orders from the government on its contracts including the US Navy SPAWAR contract discussed below. We believe both of these will be growth areas for the government despite budget challenges because of the increased need for solutions in this space, which is reflected in recent high profile events, such as the NSA information leaks by Edward Snowden and the LexisNexis information leaks, including the social security number of the United States First Lady along with millions of other Americans, that have made it more of a focus. Our government contracts are typically three to five years and we believe that our recent historical government contract revenues will be indicative of future government contact based revenues. New contracts would be accretive.
Lilien’s revenues are typically driven by purchase orders that are captured every month. Approximately 25% of these purchase orders are contracts that range from one to five years for warranty and maintenance support and are recurring. For these contracts the customer is invoiced one time and pays Lilien upfront for the full term of the warranty and maintenance contract. The unearned revenue is recorded as deferred revenue and amortized over the contract period. Lilien has a 29-year history and track record with a management team that we expect will continue to successfully generate and grow Lilien’s business. Lilien also has a high repeat customer rate of approximately 60% annually. Lilien’s revenues are diversified over hundreds of customers and no one customer exceeds 15% of its revenues. We believe this diversification provides stability to Lilien’s revenue streams.
Shoom’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) contracts are typically performed for periods of one or more years and Shoom has a high customer retention rate. Shoom offers eSolutions including eTearsheets, invoicing, CRM, and other products and services to 750 newspapers in the Cloud. Cloud or SaaS based analytics is a growing market that Sysorex intends to pursue beyond the media vertical that Shoom is in today. According to industry sources, Cloud based business analytics and business intelligence is expected to grow from $5.2 billion in 2013 to $16.52 billion in 2018 a 25.8% CAGR (Source: PRWeb Article - Cloud Analytics Market is Growing at an Estimated CAGR of 25.8% & to Reach $16.52 Billion by 2018 - New Report by Markets and Markets April 2, 2013.) Shoom has been in business for over 10 years and has been providing its Cloud solutions for over four years.
The Lilien Acquisition significantly impacted our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, as indicated under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The results show a net loss which was attributable, in part, to certain one-time non-recurring charges related to the Lilien Acquisition and Shoom Acquisition, resulting in the Company incurring significant legal, accounting, due diligence, financing and general and administrative expenses as compared to the expenses incurred in the comparable period in 2012.
We believe the accretive impact of our acquisition strategy is becoming evident and the year ended December 31, 2013 included ten months of Lilien’s revenues and four months of Shoom’s revenues. We anticipate synergies and operational efficiencies to improve revenues for both Sysorex and Lilien, especially in Q3 and Q4 when Lilien’s business is historically stronger as a result of customer budgeting processes. Sysorex’ U.S. government operations are profitable and this division is expected to grow based on the U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract awarded to Sysorex earlier this year. The U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract started releasing task orders in Q1 2014 and other awards are expected later in the year, now that the current budget impasse is resolved. With the addition of Shoom we believe that our liquidity will improve significantly as Shoom’s business model generates approximately 78% gross margins. We believe that our shift to technology based business lines like Shoom and other future acquisitions will increase our customer base and, in turn, increase revenues to a level that will allow us to achieve profitability.
Our recent acquisition of AirPatrol, a developer of location-based cybersecurity and commercial services systems for mobile devices, on April 18, 2014, has provided the Company with the opportunity to expand its capabilities into location-based detection products. AirPatrol is a developer of mobile device identification and locationing systems. Its flagship product, ZoneDefense, is a security platform for wireless and cellular networks that can detect, monitor and manage the behavior of smartphones, tablets, laptops and other mobile devices based on their location. AirPatrol also offers a business-to-consumer platform called ZoneAware that allows retailers, resort owners, consumer firms and others to deliver custom content and services based on a mobile device’s location. We believe AirPatrol will leverage the analytics capabilities of Lilien and Shoom to drive new location data offerings.
Corporate Strategy
Sysorex management has a mergers and acquisitions strategy to acquire companies and innovative technologies servicing the multi-billion dollar IT industry. We have targeted services and technology/IP based companies since we believe that they add significant value to the Company. Sysorex plans to facilitate and manage cross-selling opportunities among the companies and provide shared corporate services to create efficiencies and be cost effective. We are seeking opportunities with the following profiles:
|
·
|
Innovative and commercially proven technologies primarily in cyber-security, business intelligence/analytics, Big Data services, Cloud and mobile/bring your own device (BYOD).
|
|
·
|
Commercial and government IT service companies which have an established customer base and are seeking growth capital to expand their capabilities, product offerings and substantially increase their revenues and operating profits.
|
|
·
|
Companies with proven technologies that are complementary to the Company’s overall strategy. We are looking at companies primarily in the United States. However, we may expand in our existing markets (e.g., Middle East) and into other geographies such as India and Europe, if there are significant strategic and financial reasons to do so.
|
An important element of our mergers and acquisitions strategy is to acquire companies with complementary capabilities/technologies and an established customer base in each of the above categories. We believe that the customer base of each potential acquisition will present an opportunity to cross-sell solutions to the customer base of other acquired companies.
Another important criterion is an acquisition candidate’s contract backlog. This is one of the most important benefits of having public sector clients. These customers provide very large multi-year contracts that can provide secure revenue visibility typically for three to five years. Based on management’s experience, we understand government contracting very well and have built a core competency in bidding on government requests for proposals. We are actively seeking companies that have built a backlog with various government agencies that can complement Sysorex’s existing contracts.
We intend to acquire innovative technologies and established, reputable IT services companies, using restricted common stock, cash and debt financing in combinations appropriate for each potential acquisition.
Industry Overview
Worldwide, companies and organizations are expected to spend a combined $3.8 trillion on hardware, software, IT services and telecommunications in 2014 with approximately 3.1% growth rate over the next five years (Source: Gartner, Inc. January 6, 2014 press release).
The U.S. Government spends approximately $80 billion in IT annually and this level of spending is expected to continue at a 3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), compared with 6% historically in the first decade of the 21st Century (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018). Security of all forms, especially cyber-security, are significant growth areas, and Sysorex intends to increase its role in this sector (based on: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal Cyber-Security Market Forecast 2013-2018 dated April 12, 2013). The focus is on deployment of technologies that proved their worth in the private sector. The technology segments like business intelligence, Cloud computing, eDiscovery, GIS and geospatial, non-relational database management systems, smart grid, SOA, unified communications and virtualization are expected to have double digit growth in the period 2013 – 2018 (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018). The total annual U.S. Federal IT market is expected to surpass $93 billion by 2018 (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018).
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
As a company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during our most recently completed fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable, in general, to public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These provisions include:
|
·
|
Reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;
|
|
·
|
No non-binding shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;
|
|
·
|
Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and
|
Reduced disclosure of financial information in this prospectus, limited to two years of audited financial information and two years of selected financial information.
As a smaller reporting company, each of the foregoing exemptions is currently available to us. We may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.0 billion in annual revenues as of the end of a fiscal year, if we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or if we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year-period.
The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We are choosing to “opt out” of this provision. Therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Our principal executive offices are located at 3375 Scott Blvd., Suite 448, Santa Clara, CA 95054, and our telephone number is (408) 702-1267.

Statements contained in this prospectus concerning the provisions of any documents are summaries of those documents and are not necessarily complete. We refer you to the documents filed with the SEC for more information.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included or referred to in this prospectus, before purchasing shares of our common stock. There are numerous and varied risks that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors in our common stock could lose all or part of their investment.
Risks Related to Consolidated Operations
Since we have recently acquired Lilien Systems, Shoom and AirPatrol, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our future consolidated business.
We completed the Lilien Acquisition on March 20, 2013, the Shoom Acquisition on September 6, 2013 and the AirPatrol Acquisition on April 16, 2014. Therefore, our limited combined operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations or the merits of an investment in our securities. We are subject to the risks inherent in the financing, expenditures, complications and delays characteristic of a newly combined business. These risks are described below under the risk factor titled “Any future acquisitions that we may make could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders and harm our business, financial condition or operating results.” In addition, while the former members of Lilien, and the shareholders of Shoom and AirPatorol have indemnified the Company from any undisclosed liabilities there may not be adequate resources to cover such indemnity. Furthermore, there are risks that the vendors, suppliers and customers of these acquired entities may not renew their relationships for which there is no indemnification. Accordingly, our business and success faces risks from uncertainties inherent to developing companies in a competitive environment. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.
Our ability to successfully execute our business plan may require additional debt or equity financing, which may otherwise not be available on reasonable terms or at all.
As of June 30, 2014, we had $4.9 million of cash on hand. On March 20, 2013, we entered into a revolving credit line for up to $5,000,000 from Bridge Bank, N.A. which was increased to $6,000,000 with a $750,000 term loan on August 29, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, the Company owed $4,581,691 under its revolving credit line and $624,995 under the term loan which matures August 27, 2016. According to our business plan we may need additional debt or equity financing. Future financings through equity offerings by us will be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors than our current investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuance of incentive awards under employee equity incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue in the future such as convertible notes and warrants, which would adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by factors, including the condition of the economy and capital markets, both generally and specifically in our industry, and the fact that we are not profitable, which could impact the availability or cost of future financing. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may need to reduce our operations accordingly.
Failure to manage or protect growth may be detrimental to our business because our infrastructure may not be adequate for expansion.
The Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol Acquisitions require a substantial expansion of the Company’s systems, workforce and facilities. We may fail to adequately manage our anticipated future growth. The substantial growth in our operations as a result of the Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol Acquisitions is expected to place a significant strain on our administrative, financial and operational resources, and increase demands on our management and on our operational and administrative systems, controls and other resources. For instance Lilien’s growth strategy includes broadening its service and product offerings, implementing an aggressive marketing plan and employing leading technologies. There can be no assurance that our systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our operations as they expand. We cannot assure you that our existing personnel, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations in the future or that we will be able to successfully implement appropriate measures consistent with our growth strategy. As part of this growth, we may have to implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to expand, train and manage our employee base, and maintain close coordination among our staff. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so, or that if we are able to do so, we will be able to effectively integrate them into our existing staff and systems.
To the extent we acquire other businesses, we will also need to integrate and assimilate new operations, technologies and personnel. The integration of new personnel will continue to result in some disruption to ongoing operations. The ability to effectively manage growth in a rapidly evolving market requires effective planning and management processes. We will need to continue to improve operational, financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures, and will need to continue to expand, train and manage our work force. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to accomplish such an expansion on a timely basis. If the Company is unable to affect any required expansion and is unable to perform its contracts on a timely and satisfactory basis, its reputation and eligibility to secure additional contracts in the future could be damaged. The failure to perform could also result in a contract terminations and significant liability. Any such result would adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition.
We will need to increase the size of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing growth, which would hurt our financial performance.
In addition to employees hired from Lilien, Shoom, AirPatrol and any other companies which we may acquire, we will need to expand our employee infrastructure for managerial, operational, financial and other resources at the parent company level. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additional employees. Our future financial performance and our ability to commercialize our product candidates and to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effectively.
In order to manage our future growth, we will need to continue to improve our management, operational and financial controls and our reporting systems and procedures. All of these measures will require significant expenditures and will demand the attention of management. If we do not continue to enhance our management personnel and our operational and financial systems and controls in response to growth in our business, we could experience operating inefficiencies that could impair our competitive position and could increase our costs more than we had planned. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.
Our business depends on experienced and skilled personnel, and if we are unable to attract and integrate skilled personnel, it will be more difficult for us to manage our business and complete contracts.
The success of our business depends on the skill of our personnel. Accordingly, it is critical that we maintain, and continue to build, a highly experienced management team and specialized workforce, including software programs and sales professionals. Competition for personnel, particularly those with expertise in government consulting and a security clearance, is high, and identifying candidates with the appropriate qualifications can be costly and difficult. We may not be able to hire the necessary personnel to implement our business strategy given our anticipated hiring needs, or we may need to provide higher compensation or more training to our personnel than we currently anticipate. In addition, our ability to recruit, hire and indirectly deploy former employees of the U.S. Government is subject to complex laws and regulations, which may serve as an impediment to our ability to attract such former employees.
Our business is labor intensive and our success depends on our ability to attract, retain, train and motivate highly skilled employees, including employees who may become part of our organization in connection with our acquisitions. The increase in demand for consulting, technology integration and managed services has further increased the need for employees with specialized skills or significant experience in these areas. Our ability to expand our operations will be highly dependent on our ability to attract a sufficient number of highly skilled employees and to retain our employees and the employees of companies that we have acquired. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining enough employees to achieve our desired expansion or staffing plans. Furthermore, the industry turnover rates for these types of employees are high and we may not be successful in retaining, training or motivating our employees. Any inability to attract, retain, train and motivate employees could impair our ability to adequately manage and complete existing projects and to accept new client engagements. Such inability may also force us to increase our hiring of independent contractors, which may increase our costs and reduce our profitability on client engagements. We must also devote substantial managerial and financial resources to monitoring and managing our workforce. Our future success will depend on our ability to manage the levels and related costs of our workforce.
In the event we are unable to attract, hire and retain the requisite personnel and subcontractors, we may experience delays in completing contracts in accordance with project schedules and budgets, which may have an adverse effect on our financial results, harm our reputation and cause us to curtail our pursuit of new contracts. Further, any increase in demand for personnel may result in higher costs, causing us to exceed the budget on a contract, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results and harm our relationships with our customers.
We have allocated a substantial portion of the net proceeds of our initial public offering to expand our business, in part, through future acquisitions, but we may not be able to identify or complete suitable acquisitions, which could harm our financial performance.
Acquisitions are a significant part of our growth strategy. On April 9, 2014 we raised net proceeds of $17.7 million in our initial public offering from the sale of 3,166,666 Shares. Out of the net proceeds of our initial public offering we utilized approximately $10.5 million for the AirPatrol Acquisition. We continually review, evaluate and consider potential investments and acquisitions. In such evaluations, we are required to make difficult judgments regarding the value of business opportunities and the risks and cost of potential liabilities. We plan to use acquisitions of companies or technologies to expand our project skill sets and capabilities, expand our geographic markets, add experienced management and increase our product and service offerings. Although we have identified several acquisition considerations, we may be unable to implement our growth strategy if we cannot reach agreement with acquisition targets on acceptable terms or arrange required financing for acquisitions on acceptable terms. If we cannot make acquisitions to expand our business, our future financial performance could be harmed. In addition, the time and effort involved in attempting to identify acquisition candidates and consummate acquisitions may divert members of our management from the operations of our company, which could also harm our business and results of operations.
Any future acquisitions that we may make could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders and harm our business, financial condition or operating results.
If we are successful in consummating acquisitions, those acquisitions could subject us to a number of risks, including, but not limited to:
·
|
the purchase price we pay and/or unanticipated costs could significantly deplete our cash reserves or result in dilution to our existing stockholders;
|
|
|
·
|
we may find that the acquired company or technologies do not improve our market position as planned;
|
·
|
we may have difficulty integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired company, as the combined operations will place significant demands on the Company’s management, technical, financial and other resources;
|
|
|
·
|
key personnel and customers of the acquired company may terminate their relationships with the acquired company as a result of the acquisition;
|
|
·
|
we may experience additional financial and accounting challenges and complexities in areas such as tax planning and financial reporting;
|
|
·
|
we may assume or be held liable for risks and liabilities (including environmental-related costs) as a result of our acquisitions, some of which we may not be able to discover during our due diligence or adequately adjust for in our acquisition arrangements;
|
|
·
|
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 incur one-time write-offs or restructuring charges in connection with the acquisition;
|
|
·
|
we may acquire goodwill and other intangible assets that are subject to amortization or impairment tests, which could result in future charges to earnings; and
|
|
·
|
we may not be able to realize the cost savings or other financial benefits we anticipated.
|
We cannot assure you that we will successfully integrate Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol or profitably manage any other acquired business. In addition, we cannot assure you that, following any acquisition, our continued business will achieve sales levels, profitability, efficiencies or synergies that justify the acquisition or that the acquisition will result in increased earnings for us in any future period. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
Insurance and contractual protections may not always cover lost revenue, increased expenses or liquidated damages payments, which could adversely affect our financial results.
Although we maintain insurance and intend to obtain warranties from suppliers, obligate subcontractors to meet certain performance levels and attempt, where feasible, to pass risks we cannot control to our customers, the proceeds of such insurance, warranties, performance guarantees or risk sharing arrangements may not be adequate to cover lost revenue, increased expenses or liquidated damages payments that may be required in the future.
If we are unable to comply with certain financial and operating restrictions in our credit facilities, we may be limited in our business activities and access to credit or may default under our credit facilities
Pursuant to our existing credit facility with Bridge Bank, N.A., all of the Company’s and our subsidiaries’ assets, other than excluded and future projects, are secured with our senior lender. As of June 30, 2014 the Company owed approximately $4.6 million under its revolving line of credit and $624,995 under a term loan. Provisions in our credit facilities and debt instruments impose restrictions or require prior approval on our ability, and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to, among other things:
·
|
incur additional debt;
|
|
·
|
pay cash dividends and make distributions;
|
|
·
|
make certain investments and acquisitions;
|
|
·
|
guarantee the indebtedness of others or our subsidiaries;
|
|
·
|
redeem or repurchase capital stock;
|
·
|
create liens or encumbrances;
|
|
|
·
|
enter into transactions with affiliates;
|
|
·
|
engage in new lines of business;
|
|
·
|
sell, lease or transfer certain parts of our business or property;
|
|
·
|
incur obligations for capital expenditures;
|
|
·
|
issue additional capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company;
|
|
·
|
acquire new companies and merge or consolidate.
|
These agreements also contain other customary covenants, including covenants that require us to meet specified financial ratios and financial tests. We may not be able to comply with these covenants in the future. Our failure to comply with these covenants may result in the declaration of an event of default and cause us to be unable to borrow under our credit facilities and debt instruments. In addition to preventing additional borrowings under these agreements, an event of default, if not cured or waived, may result in the acceleration of the maturity of indebtedness outstanding under these agreements, which would require us to pay all amounts outstanding. If the maturity of our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not have sufficient funds available for repayment or we may not have the ability to borrow or obtain sufficient funds to replace the accelerated indebtedness on terms acceptable to us or at all. Our failure to repay our bank indebtedness would result in the bank foreclosing on all or a portion of our assets and force us to curtail our operations.
We may be subject to damages resulting from claims that the Company or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.
Upon completion of any acquisitions by the Company, we may be subject to claims that our acquired companies and their employees may have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of former employers or competitors. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management. If we fail in defending such claims, in addition to paying money claims, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. A loss of key research personnel or their work product could hamper or prevent our ability to commercialize certain products, which could severely harm our business.
The loss of our Chief Executive Offer or other key personnel may adversely affect our operations.
The Company’s success depends to a significant extent upon the operation, experience, and continued services of certain of its officers, including our CEO, as well as other key personnel. While our CEO and the executive officers of Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol are all employed under employment contracts, there is no assurance we will be able to retain their services. The loss of our CEO or several of the other key personnel could have an adverse effect on the Company. If our CEO or other executive officers were to leave we would face substantial difficulty in hiring a qualified successor and could experience a loss in productivity while any successor obtains the necessary training and experience. Furthermore, we do not maintain “key person” life insurance on the lives of any executive officer and their death or incapacity would have a material adverse effect on us. The competition for qualified personnel is intense, and the loss of services of certain key personnel could adversely affect our business.
Internal system or service failures could disrupt our business and impair our ability to effectively provide our services and products to our customers, which could damage our reputation and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
Any system or service disruptions, including those caused by ongoing projects to improve our information technology systems and the delivery of services, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have a material adverse effect on our business including, among other things, an adverse effect on our ability to bill our customers for work performed on our contracts, collect the amounts that have been billed and produce accurate financial statements in a timely manner. We are also subject to systems failures, including network, software or hardware failures, whether caused by us, third-party service providers, cyber security threats, natural disasters, power shortages, terrorist attacks or other events, which could cause loss of data and interruptions or delays in our business, cause us to incur remediation costs, subject us to claims and damage our reputation. In addition, the failure or disruption of our communications or utilities could cause us to interrupt or suspend our operations or otherwise adversely affect our business. Our property and business interruption insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur as a result of any system or operational failure or disruption and, as a result, our future results could be adversely affected.
Customer systems failures could damage our reputation and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
Many of the systems and networks that we develop, install and maintain for our customers involve managing and protecting personal information and information relating to national security and other sensitive government functions. While we have programs designed to comply with relevant privacy and security laws and restrictions, if a system or network that we develop, install or maintain were to fail or experience a security breach or service interruption, whether caused by us, third-party service providers, cyber security threats or other events, we may experience loss of revenue, remediation costs or face claims for damages or contract termination. Any such event could cause serious harm to our reputation and prevent us from having access to or being eligible for further work on such systems and networks. Our errors and omissions liability insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all of the damages that we may incur and, as a result, our future results could be adversely affected.
Our financial performance could be adversely affected by decreases in spending on technology products and services by our public sector customers.
Our sales to our public sector customers are impacted by government spending policies, budget priorities and revenue levels. Although our sales to the federal government are diversified across multiple agencies and departments, they collectively accounted for approximately 10% of 2013 net sales. AirPatrol’s revenues are expected primarily from government customers in 2014 but are anticipated to shift toward a majority of commercial customers in the future. This could increase our consolidated 2014 revenues from government customers to increase to 15-20%. An adverse change in government spending policies (including budget cuts at the federal level), budget priorities or revenue levels could cause our public sector customers to reduce their purchases or to terminate or not renew their contracts with us, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows.
Our business could be adversely affected by the loss of certain vendor partner relationships and the availability of their products.
We purchase products for resale from vendor partners, which include OEMs, software publishers, and wholesale distributors. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we purchased approximately 83% of the products we sold directly from vendor partners and the remaining amount from wholesale distributors. We are authorized by vendor partners to sell all or some of their products via direct marketing activities. Our authorization with each vendor partner is subject to specific terms and conditions regarding such things as sales channel restrictions, product return privileges, price protection policies and purchase discounts. In the event we were to lose one of our significant vendor partners, our business could be adversely affected.
We have entered, and expect to continue to enter, into joint venture, teaming and other arrangements, and these activities involve risks and uncertainties. A failure of any such relationship could have material adverse results on our business and results of operations.
We have entered, and expect to continue to enter, into joint venture, teaming and other arrangements. These activities involve risks and uncertainties, including the risk of the joint venture or applicable entity failing to satisfy its obligations, which may result in certain liabilities to us for guarantees and other commitments, the challenges in achieving strategic objectives and expected benefits of the business arrangement, the risk of conflicts arising between us and our partners and the difficulty of managing and resolving such conflicts, and the difficulty of managing or otherwise monitoring such business arrangements. A failure of our business relationships could have material adverse results on our business and results of operations.
Our business and operations expose us to numerous legal and regulatory requirements and any violation of these requirements could harm our business.
We are subject to numerous federal, state and foreign legal requirements on matters as diverse as data privacy and protection, employment and labor relations, immigration, taxation, anticorruption, import/export controls, trade restrictions, internal and disclosure control obligations, securities regulation and anti-competition. Compliance with diverse and changing legal requirements is costly, time-consuming and requires significant resources. We are also focused on expanding our business in certain identified growth areas, such as health information technology, energy and environment, which are highly regulated and may expose us to increased compliance risk. Violations of one or more of these diverse legal requirements in the conduct of our business could result in significant fines and other damages, criminal sanctions against us or our officers, prohibitions on doing business and damage to our reputation. Violations of these regulations or contractual obligations related to regulatory compliance in connection with the performance of customer contracts could also result in liability for significant monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity and other reputational damage, restrictions on our ability to compete for certain work and allegations by our customers that we have not performed our contractual obligations.
If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property rights, we may experience a loss of revenue and our operations may be materially harmed.
We have not registered copyrights on any of the software we have developed. We rely upon confidentiality agreements signed by our employees, consultants and third parties to protect our intellectual property. We cannot assure you that we can adequately protect our intellectual property or successfully prosecute actual or potential infringement of our intellectual property rights. Also, we cannot assure you that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other proprietary rights of ours or that we will be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may result in a loss of revenue and could materially adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
Our performance and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our proprietary technology. Our proprietary software is protected by common law copyright laws, as opposed to registration under copyright statutes. Common law protection may be narrower than that which we could obtain under registered copyrights. As a result, we may experience difficulty in enforcing our copyrights against certain third party infringements. As part of our confidentiality-protection procedures, we generally enter into agreements with our employees and consultants and limit access to, and distribution of, our software, documentation and other proprietary information. There can be no assurance that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our technology or that agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable. The laws of other countries may afford us little or no protection of our intellectual property. We also rely on a variety of technology that we license from third parties. There can be no assurance that these third party technology licenses will continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The loss of or inability to maintain or obtain upgrades to any of these technology licenses could result in delays in completing software enhancements and new development until equivalent technology could be identified, licensed or developed and integrated. Any such delays would materially and adversely affect our business.
Risks Related to the Business and Industry of our Subsidiaries
Our growth is dependent on increasing sales to our existing clients and obtaining new clients, which, if unsuccessful, could limit our financial performance.
Our ability to increase revenues from existing clients by identifying additional opportunities to sell more of the products and services of our subsidiaries Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol, and our ability to obtain new clients depends on a number of factors, including our ability to offer high quality products and services at competitive prices, the strength of our competitors and the capabilities of our sales and marketing departments. If we are not able to continue to increase sales to the existing clients of our subsidiaries or to obtain new clients in the future, we may not be able to increase our revenues and could suffer a decrease in revenues as well.
Our results depend on the continued growth of the market for IT products and services, which is uncertain.
Lilien’s IT products and services solutions are designed to address the growing markets for off-premises services (including migrations, consolidations, Cloud computing and disaster recovery), technology integration services (including storage and data protection services and the implementation of virtualization solutions) and managed services (including operational support and client support). These markets are still evolving. Competing technologies and services or reductions in corporate spending may reduce the demand for our products and services.
Decreases, or slow growth, in the newspaper publishing industry may adversely affect Shoom’s customers and negatively impact our results from the Shoom operations.
The newspaper industry as a whole is experiencing challenges to maintain and grow print circulation and revenues. This results from, among other factors, increased competition from other media, particularly the growth of electronic media, and shifting preferences among some consumers to receive all or a portion of their news other than from a newspaper. Shoom’s customer base is focused on the newspaper publishing industry and therefore its sales will be subject to the future of newspaper industry. Sysorex plans to help Shoom expand into other verticals but there is no guarantee that it will be successful and no way to know how long such an expansion will take.
Our competitiveness depends significantly on our ability to keep pace with the rapid changes in IT. Failure by us to anticipate and meet Lilien’s clients’ technological needs could adversely affect our competitiveness and growth prospects.
Lilien operates and competes in an industry characterized by rapid technological innovation, changing client needs, evolving industry standards and frequent introductions of new products, product enhancements, services and distribution methods. Our success depends on our ability to develop expertise with these new products, product enhancements, services and distribution methods and to implement IT solutions that anticipate and respond to rapid changes in technology, the IT industry, and client needs. The introduction of new products, product enhancements and distribution methods could decrease demand for current products or render them obsolete. Sales of products and services can be dependent on demand for specific product categories, and any change in demand for or supply of such products could have a material adverse effect on our net sales if we fail to adapt to such changes in a timely manner.
We operate in a highly competitive market and Lilien and Shoom may be required to reduce the prices for their products and services to remain competitive, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our industry is developing rapidly and related technology trends are constantly evolving. In this environment, we face significant price competition from our competitors. We may be unable to offset the effect of declining average sales prices through increased sales volumes and/or reductions in our costs. Furthermore, we may be forced to reduce the prices of the products and services we sell in response to offerings made by our competitors. Finally, we may not be able to maintain the level of bargaining power that we have enjoyed in the past when negotiating the prices of our services.
Lilien faces substantial competition from other national, multi-regional, regional and local value-added resellers and IT service providers, some of which may have greater financial and other resources than we do or that may have more fully developed business relationships with clients or prospective clients than we do. Many of our competitors compete principally on the basis of price and may have lower costs or accept lower selling prices than we do and, therefore, we may need to reduce our prices. In addition, manufacturers may choose to market their products directly to end-users, rather than through IT solutions providers such as us, and this could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Profitability of our subsidiaries Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol is dependent on the rates we are able to charge for our products and services. The rates we are able to charge for our products and services are affected by a number of factors, including:
·
|
our clients’ perceptions of our ability to add value through our services;
|
|
·
|
introduction of new services or products by us or our competitors;
|
|
·
|
our competitors’ pricing policies;
|
|
·
|
our ability to charge higher prices where market demand or the value of our services justifies it;
|
|
·
|
procurement practices of our clients; and
|
|
·
|
general economic and political conditions.
|
If we are not able to maintain favorable pricing for our products and services, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
Lilien’s sales are subject to quarterly and seasonal variations that may cause significant fluctuations in our operating results, therefore period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be reliable predictors of future performance.
The timing of our revenues can be difficult to predict. Our sales efforts involve educating our clients about the use and benefit of the products we sell and our services and solutions, including their technical capabilities and potential cost savings to an organization. Clients typically undertake a significant evaluation process that has in the past resulted in a lengthy sales cycle, which typically lasts several months, and may last a year or longer. We spend substantial time, effort and money on our sales efforts without any assurance that our efforts will produce any sales during a given period.
In addition, many of our clients spend a substantial portion of their IT budgets in the second half of the year. Other factors that may cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate include changes in general economic conditions and the impact of unforeseen events. We believe that our revenues will continue to be affected in the future by cyclical trends. As a result, you may not be able to rely on period-to-period comparisons of our operating results as an indication of our future performance.
A delay in the completion of our clients’ budget processes could delay purchases of the products and services of our subsidiaries, and have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We rely on our clients to purchase products and services from us to maintain and increase our earnings, and client purchases are frequently subject to budget constraints, multiple approvals and unplanned administrative, processing and other delays. If sales expected from a specific client are not realized when anticipated or at all, our results could fall short of public expectations and our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Lilien’s profit margins depend, in part, on the volume of products and services sold. A failure to achieve increases in our profit margins in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Given the significant levels of competition that characterize the IT reseller market, it is unlikely that Lilien will be able to increase gross profit margins through increases in its sales of IT products alone. Any increases in its gross profit margins in the future will depend, in part, on the growth of our higher margin businesses such as IT consulting and professional services. In addition, low margins increase the sensitivity of our results of operations to increases in costs of financing. Any failure by us to maintain or increase our gross profit margins could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Any failures or interruptions in our services or systems could damage our reputation and substantially harm our business and results of operations.
Our success depends in part on our ability to provide reliable remote services, technology integration and managed services to our clients. The operations of Lilien, which currently has its company data center located in Larkspur, California, and Shoom has its data center in Los Angeles, California, are susceptible to damage or interruption from human error, fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks and similar events. We could also experience failures or interruptions of our systems and services, or other problems in connection with our operations, as a result of:
·
|
damage to or failure of our computer software or hardware or our connections;
|
|
·
|
errors in the processing of data by our systems;
|
|
·
|
computer viruses or software defects;
|
|
·
|
physical or electronic break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar events;
|
|
·
|
increased capacity demands or changes in systems requirements of our clients; and
|
|
·
|
errors by our employees or third-party service providers.
|
Any interruptions in our systems or services could damage our reputation and substantially harm our business and results of operations. While we maintain disaster recovery plans and insurance with coverage we believe to be adequate, claims may exceed insurance coverage limits, may not be covered by insurance or insurance may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms.
Lilien and Shoom’s services and solutions involve storing and replicating mission-critical data for our clients and are highly technical in nature. If client data is lost or corrupted, our reputation and business could be harmed.
Lilien’s data center and technology integration services and Shoom’s software-as-a-service solutions include storing and replicating mission-critical data for our clients. The process of storing and replicating that data within their data centers or at our facilities is highly technical and complex. If any data is lost or corrupted in connection with the use of our products and services, our reputation could be seriously harmed and market acceptance of our IT solutions could suffer. In addition, our solutions have contained, and may in the future contain, undetected errors, defects or security vulnerabilities. Some errors in our solutions may only be discovered after a solution has been in use by clients. Any errors, defects or security vulnerabilities discovered in our solutions after use by clients could result in loss of revenues, loss of clients, increased service and warranty cost and diversion of attention of our management and technical personnel, any of which could significantly harm our business. In addition, we could face claims for product liability, tort or breach of warranty. Defending a lawsuit, regardless of its merit, is costly and may divert management’s attention and adversely affect the market’s perception of us and our service offerings and solutions.
Lilien does not have long-term recurring revenue generating contracts with its clients, and its clients may cease providing new purchase orders at any time or reduce the amount of purchases they make that would depress Lilien’s revenues and harm our results of operations.
Our operations depend upon our relationships with our clients. Lilien’s revenues are typically driven by purchase orders received every month. The majority of Lilien’s revenues come from one time purchase orders that do not guarantee any future recurring revenues. Approximately twenty five percent of Lilien’s revenues are recurring and based on contracts that range from 1-5 years for warranty and maintenance support. For these contracts the customer is invoiced one time and pays Lilien up front for the full term of the warranty and maintenance contract. Revenue from these contracts is determinable ratably over the contract period with the unearned revenue recorded as deferred revenue and amortized over the contract period. Lilien’s clients may cease providing new purchase orders at any time, may elect not to renew such contracts, cancel and request a refund of maintenance/warranty services that have not yet been provided (upon 30 days advance written notice) or reschedule purchases. If clients cease providing us with new purchase orders, diminish the services purchased from us, cancel executed purchase orders or delay future purchase orders, Lilien’s revenues would be negatively impacted, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. There is no guarantee that we will be able to retain or generate future revenue from Lilien’s existing clients or develop relationships with new clients.
There is a risk that Lilien could lose a large client without being able to find a ready replacement.
The loss of any large client, the failure of any large client to pay its accounts receivable on a timely basis or a material reduction in the amount of purchases made by any large client could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Consolidation in the industries that we serve or from which we purchase could adversely affect our business.
Clients that Lilien or Shoom serve may seek to achieve economies of scale by combining with or acquiring other companies. If two or more of our current clients combine their operations, it may decrease the amount of work that we perform for these clients. If one of our current clients merges or consolidates with a company that relies on another provider for its consulting, systems integration and technology, or outsourcing services, we may lose work from that client or lose the opportunity to gain additional work. If two or more of our suppliers merge or consolidate operations, the increased market power of the larger company could also increase our product costs and place competitive pressures on us. Any of these possible results of industry consolidation could adversely affect our business.
The loss of any key manufacturer or distributor relationships, or related industry certifications, could have an adverse effect on our business.
As part of Lilien’s end-to-end IT solutions, we are authorized resellers of the products and services of leading IT manufacturers and distributors. In many cases, we have achieved the highest level of relationship the manufacturer or distributor offers. In addition, our employees hold certifications issued by these manufacturers and by industry associations relating to the configuration, installation and servicing of these products. Lilien differentiates itself from its competitors by the range of manufacturers and distributors we represent, the relationship level we have achieved with these manufacturers and distributors and the scope of the manufacturer and industry certifications our employees hold. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain these relationships with our manufacturers and distributors, that we will be able to retain the employees holding these manufacturer and industry certifications, or that our employees will maintain their manufacturer or industry certifications. The loss of any of these relationships or certifications could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Lilien may experience a reduction in the incentive programs offered to us by our vendors. Any such reduction could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Lilien receives payments and credits from vendors, including consideration pursuant to volume sales incentive programs and marketing development funding programs. These programs are usually of finite terms and may not be renewed or may be changed in a way that has an adverse effect on us. Vendor funding is used to offset, among other things, inventory costs, costs of goods sold, marketing costs and other operating expenses. Certain of these funds are based on our volume of net sales or purchases, growth rate of net sales or purchases and marketing programs. If we do not grow our net sales or if we are not in compliance with the terms of these programs, there could be a material negative effect on the amount of incentives offered or paid to us by vendors. No assurance can be given that we will continue to receive such incentives or that we will be able to collect outstanding amounts relating to these incentives in a timely manner, or at all. Any sizeable reduction in, the discontinuance of, or a significant delay in receiving or the inability to collect such incentives, particularly related to incentive programs with Lilien’s largest partner, Hewlett-Packard Company, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we are unable to react timely to any fundamental changes in the programs of vendors, including the elimination of funding for some of the activities for which we have been compensated in the past, such changes would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Lilien or Shoom may need additional cash financing and any failure by Lilien to obtain cash financing, could limit our ability to grow Lilien’s business and develop or enhance our service offerings to respond to market demand or competitive challenges.
Lilien and Shoom management believe that their respective current cash and cash flow from operations should be sufficient to meet their anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Lilien and Shoom may, however, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any new lines of business it may decide to pursue. If these resources are insufficient to satisfy their cash requirements, Lilien and/or Shoom may seek additional cash from the parent company. If we are unable to raise the required cash, their ability to grow their business and develop or enhance their service offerings to respond to market demand or competitive challenges could be limited.
Lilien relies on inventory financing and vendor credit arrangements for its daily working capital and certain operational functions, the loss of which could have a material adverse effect on our future results.
Lilien relies on its inventory financing and vendor financing arrangements for daily working capital and to fund equipment purchases for our technology sales business. The loss of any of our inventory financing or vendor credit financing arrangements, a reduction in the amount of credit granted to us by our vendors, or a change in any of the material terms of these arrangements could increase our need for and the cost of working capital and have a material adverse effect on our future results. These credit arrangements are discretionary on the part of our creditors and require the performance of certain operational covenants. There can be no assurance that we will continue to meet those covenants and failure to do so may limit availability of, or cause us to lose, such financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will continue to be available to us in the future on acceptable terms.
If Lilien cannot collect its receivables or if payment is delayed, our business may be adversely affected by our inability to generate cash flow, provide working capital or continue our business operations.
Lilien’s business depends on its ability to successfully obtain payment from its clients of the amounts they owe us for products received from us and any work performed by us. The timely collection of our receivables allows us to generate cash flow, provide working capital and continue our business operations. Lilien’s clients may fail to pay or delay the payment of invoices for a number of reasons, including financial difficulties resulting from macroeconomic conditions, or lack of an approved budget. An extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account will have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days of our accounts receivable. If we are unable to timely collect our receivables from our clients for any reason, our business and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Because AirPatrol derives substantially all of its revenues and cash flows from sales of a limited range of products, failure of these products to satisfy customer demands or to achieve increased market acceptance would adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects.
AirPatrol derives and expects to continue to derive a substantial portion of its revenues and cash flows from sales of its products. As such, the market acceptance of its products is critical to our continued success. Demand for AirPatrol’s products is affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including continued market acceptance, the timing of development and release of new products by competitors, technological change, and growth or decline in the mobile device management market. We expect the proliferation of mobile devices to lead to an increase in the data security demands of our customers, and AirPatrol’s products may not be able to scale and perform to meet those demands. If AirPatrol is unable to continue to meet customer demands or to achieve more widespread market acceptance of its products, our business operations, financial results and growth prospects will be materially and adversely affected.
If AirPatrol is unable to sell additional products and services to its customers, our future revenue and operating results may suffer.
The future success of AirPatrol depends, in part, on its ability to expand the deployment of its platform with existing customers by selling additional products to secure other areas of its customers’ portfolio, and by upselling additional subscription services to provide more robust mobile device security. This may require increasingly sophisticated and costly sales efforts and may not result in additional sales. In addition, the rate at which AirPatrol’s customers purchase additional products and services depends on a number of factors, including the perceived need for additional mobile device security products and services, as well as general economic conditions. If AirPatrol’s efforts to sell additional products and services to its customers are not successful, our business may suffer.
AirPatrol also depends on its installed customer base for future support and maintenance revenues. If customers choose not to continue renewing their support and maintenance or seek to renegotiate the terms of support and maintenance agreements prior to renewing such agreements, our revenue may decline.
Managing the supply of AirPatrol’s products and product components is complex. Insufficient supply and inventory may result in lost sales opportunities or delayed revenue, while excess inventory may harm gross margins.
Third-party manufacturers procure components and build AirPatrol’s products based on forecasts, and AirPatrol generally does not hold inventory for a prolonged period of time. These forecasts are based on estimates of future demand for AirPatrol’s products, which are in turn based on historical trends and analyses from AirPatrol’s sales and marketing organizations, adjusted for overall market conditions.
AirPatrol’s inventory management systems and related supply chain tools may not be able to forecast accurately and effectively manage supply of its products. If AirPatrol ultimately determines that it has excess supply, AirPatrol may have to reduce its prices and write-down inventory, which in turn could result in lower gross margins. If AirPatrol’s actual component usage and product demand are lower than the forecast, AirPatrol accrues for losses on manufacturing commitments in excess of forecasted demand.
Any production interruptions for any reason, such as a natural disaster, epidemic, capacity shortages, or quality problems, at one of AirPatrol’s manufacturing partners would negatively affect sales of AirPatrol’s product lines manufactured by that manufacturing partner and adversely affect our business and operating results.
Defects, errors, or vulnerabilities in AirPatrol’s products or services or the failure of AirPatrol’s products or services to prevent a security breach, could harm our reputation and adversely impact our results of operations.
Because AirPatrol’s products and services are complex, they have contained and may contain design or manufacturing defects or errors that are not detected until after their commercial release and deployment by customers. Defects may cause AirPatrol’s products to be vulnerable to advanced persistent threats (APTs) or security attacks, cause them to fail to help secure information or temporarily interrupt customers’ networking traffic. Because the techniques used by hackers to access sensitive information change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, AirPatrol may be unable to anticipate these techniques and provide a solution in time to protect customers’ data. In addition, defects or errors in AirPatrol’s subscription updates or products could result in a failure of AirPatrol’s services to effectively update customers’ hardware products and thereby leave customers vulnerable to APTs or security attacks.
Any defects, errors or vulnerabilities in AirPatrol’s products could result in:
·
|
Expenditure of significant financial and product development resources in efforts to analyze, correct, eliminate, or work-around errors or defects or to address and eliminate vulnerabilities;
|
|
|
·
|
Delayed or lost revenue;
|
|
·
|
Loss of existing or potential customers or partners;
|
|
·
|
Increased warranty claims compared with historical experience, or increased cost of servicing warranty claims, either of which would adversely affect gross margins; and
|
|
·
|
Litigation, regulatory inquiries, or investigations that may be costly and harm our reputation
|
AirPatrol’s current research and development efforts may not produce successful products or features that result in significant revenue, cost savings or other benefits in the near future. If AirPatrol does not realize significant revenue from its research and development efforts, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
Developing products and related enhancements in our field is expensive. AirPatrol’s investments in research and development may not result in significant design improvements, marketable products or features or may result in products that are more expensive than anticipated. AirPatrol may not achieve the cost savings or the anticipated performance improvements expected, and AirPatrol may take longer to generate revenue from products in development, or generate less revenue than expected.
AirPatrol’s future plans include significant investments in research and development and related product opportunities. AirPatrol and our management believe that AirPatrol must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to research and development efforts to maintain a competitive position. However, AirPatrol may not receive significant revenue from these investments in the near future, or these investments may not yield the expected benefits, either of which could adversely affect our business and operating results.
Misuse of AirPatrol’s products could harm our reputation and that of AirPatrol.
AirPatrol’s products may be misused by customers or third parties that obtain access to AirPatrol’s products. For example, AirPatrol’s products could be used to protect information kept by criminals from government agencies. Such use of AirPatrol’s products for censorship could result in negative press coverage and negatively affect our reputation.
If the general level of advanced attacks declines, or is perceived by current or potential customers to have declined, this could harm the business of AirPatrol, and our financial condition, operating results and growth prospects.
AirPatrol’s business is substantially dependent upon enterprises and governments recognizing that APTs and other security attacks are pervasive and are not effectively prevented by legacy security solutions. High visibility attacks on prominent enterprises and governments have increased market awareness of the problem of APTs and security attacks and help to provide an impetus for enterprises and governments to devote resources to protecting against attacks, such as testing our platform, purchasing it, and broadly deploying it within their organizations. If APTs and other security attacks were to decline, or enterprises or governments perceived that the general level of attacks has declined, AirPatrol’s ability to attract new customers and expand its offerings for existing customers could be materially and adversely affected, which would, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
If AirPatrol’s products do not effectively interoperate with its customers’ IT infrastructure, installations could be delayed or cancelled, which would harm the business of AirPatrol, and our financial condition, operating results and growth prospects.
AirPatrol’s products must effectively interoperate with its customers’ existing or future IT infrastructure, which often has different specifications, utilizes multiple protocol standards, deploys products from multiple vendors, and contains multiple generations of products that have been added over time. As a result, when problems occur in a company’s infrastructure, it may be difficult to identify the sources of these problems. If AirPatrol finds errors in the existing software or defects in the hardware used in its customers’ infrastructure, AirPatrol may have to modify its software or hardware so that its products will interoperate with the infrastructure of its customers. In such cases, AirPatrol’s products may be unable to provide significant performance improvements for applications deployed in the infrastructure of its customers. These issues could cause longer installation times for AirPatrol’s products and could cause order cancellations, either of which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, other customers may require products to comply with certain security or other certifications and standards. If AirPatrol’s products are late in achieving or fail to achieve compliance with these certifications and standards, or competitors sooner achieve compliance with these certifications and standards, AirPatrol may be disqualified from selling its products to such customers, or may otherwise be at a competitive disadvantage, either of which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Failure to protect AirPatrol’s intellectual property rights could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and growth prospects.
The success of both Sysorex and AirPatrol depends, in part, on our ability to protect proprietary methods and technologies that we develop under patent and other intellectual property laws of the United States so that we can prevent others from using our inventions and proprietary information. If Sysorex or AirPatrol fail to protect intellectual property rights adequately, competitors might gain access to our technology, and our business might be adversely affected. However, defending our intellectual property rights might entail significant expenses. Any patents issued in the future may not provide us with any competitive advantages, and our patent applications may never be granted. The process of obtaining patent protection is expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. Even if issued, there can be no assurance that these patents will adequately protect our intellectual property, as the legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of patent and other intellectual property rights are complex and often uncertain. Our inability to protect our property rights could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and growth prospects.
We may not be able to successfully integrate AirPatrol into our ongoing business operations, which may result in our inability to fully realize the intended benefits of the AirPatrol acquisition, or may disrupt our current operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and/or results of operations.
We are in the process of integrating the operations of AirPatrol into our business, and this process involves complex operational, technological and personnel-related challenges, which are time-consuming and expensive and may disrupt our ongoing business operations. Furthermore, integration involves a number of risks, including, but not limited to:
·
|
difficulties or complications in combining the companies' operations;
|
|
|
·
|
differences in controls, procedures and policies, regulatory standards and business cultures among the combined companies;
|
|
·
|
the diversion of management's attention from our ongoing core business operations;
|
|
·
|
increased exposure to certain governmental regulations and compliance requirements;
|
|
·
|
the potential loss of key personnel who choose not to remain with AirPatrol or Sysorex;
|
|
·
|
the potential loss of key customers or suppliers who choose not to do business with the combined business;
|
|
·
|
difficulties or delays in consolidating AirPatrol’s information technology platforms, including implementing systems designed to continue to ensure that the Company maintains effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for the combined company and enable the Company to continue to comply with U.S. GAAP and applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations;
|
|
·
|
unanticipated costs and other assumed contingent liabilities;
|
|
·
|
difficulty comparing financial reports due to differing financial and/or internal reporting systems;
|
|
·
|
making any necessary modifications to internal financial control standards to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and/or
|
|
·
|
possible tax costs or inefficiencies associated with integrating the operations of the combined company.
|
These factors could cause us to not fully realize the anticipated financial and/or strategic benefits of the AirPatrol acquisition, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Even if we are able to successfully operate AirPatrol within Sysorex, we may not be able to realize the revenue and other synergies and growth that we anticipate from the acquisition in the time frame that we currently expect, and the costs of achieving these benefits may be higher than what we currently expect, because of a number of risks, including, but not limited to:
·
|
the possibility that the acquisition may not further our business strategy as we expected;
|
|
|
·
|
the possibility that we may not be able to expand the reach and customer base for AirPatrol’s current and future products as expected;
|
|
·
|
the possibility that we may not be able to expand the reach and customer base for Sysorex’s products as expected;
|
|
·
|
the possibility that the carrying amounts of goodwill and other purchased intangible assets may not be recoverable; and
|
|
·
|
the fact that the acquisition will substantially expand our mobile device security business, and we may not experience anticipated growth in that market.
|
As a result of these risks, the AirPatrol acquisition and integration may not contribute to our earnings as expected, we may not achieve expected revenue synergies or our return on invested capital targets when expected, or at all, and we may not achieve the other anticipated strategic and financial benefits of the acquisition.
A significant portion of the purchase price for our acquisition of AirPatrol is allocated to goodwill and intangible assets that are subject to periodic impairment evaluations. An impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
On a pro forma basis, we anticipate acquiring approximately $5 million of goodwill and $24 million of intangible assets relating to our acquisition of AirPatrol. As required by current accounting standards, we review intangible assets for impairment either annually or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The risk of impairment to goodwill is higher during the early years following an acquisition. This is because the fair values of these assets align very closely with what we paid to acquire the reporting units to which these assets are assigned. As a result, the difference between the carrying value of the reporting unit and its fair value (typically referred to as “headroom”) is smaller at the time of acquisition. Until this headroom grows over time, due to business growth or lower carrying value of the reporting unit, a relatively small decrease in reporting unit fair value can trigger impairment charges. When impairment charges are triggered, they tend to be material due to the size of the assets involved. Our business would be adversely affected, and impairment of goodwill could be triggered, if any of the following were to occur: higher attrition rates than planned as a result of the competitive environment or our inability to provide products and services that are competitive in the marketplace, lower-than-planned adoption rates by AirPatrol customers, higher-than-expected expense levels to provide services to clients, and changes in our business model that may impact one or more of these variables.
Our business may be burdened by the contingent earn-out obligations in connection with the AirPatrol Acquisition.
In connection with the AirPatrol Acquisition, we have incurred the obligation to make a contingent earn-out payment if certain financial targets of the acquired business are met over a specified period. Contractual provisions relating to the contingent earn-out obligation include covenants to operate AirPatrol in a manner that may not otherwise be most advantageous to us. These provisions may also result in the risk of litigation relating to the calculation of the earn-out obligation amount due as well as the operation of AirPatrol. Such litigation could be expensive and divert management attention and resources. We can give no assurance that our contingent obligations, including the associated covenants relating to the operation of AirPatrol, will not otherwise adversely affect our business, liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.
Our acquisitions, including the AirPatrol Acquisition, may expose us to additional liabilities, and insurance and indemnification coverage may not fully protect us from these liabilities.
Upon completion of acquisitions, we may be exposed to unknown or contingent liabilities associated with the acquired entity, and if these liabilities exceed our estimates, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and negatively affected. As a part of the AirPatrol Acquisition in particular, the AirPatrol parties have agreed to indemnify us for any breaches of representations, warranties or covenants in the related Merger Agreement, within the one year period following the closing of the acquisition. Indemnification of Sysorex is limited to (a) 50% of the total Merger Consideration (defined hereafter) paid to AirPatrol’s shareholders for intellectual-property related claims, and (b) 800,000 shares of our common stock and $2 million for all other types of claims. AirPatrol agreed to a holdback escrow into which 800,000 shares of our common stock shall be deposited and held for one year following the closing of the acquisition. Shares of common stock would be cancelled out of the holdback escrow, and returned to Sysorex (instead of to the AirPatrol merger consideration recipients), in the event that Sysorex is owed compensation under the indemnification provisions. In addition, up to $2 million out of the potential $10 million earn-out shall be available to pay indemnification claims to Sysorex. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if indemnification claims exceed the value of the shares held in the holdback escrow, the $2 million available from any potential earn-out, and amounts recoverable under applicable insurance policies of AirPatrol, we may be required to absorb losses relating to the AirPatrol Acquisition. While we reserve amounts to pay for any losses in connection with acquisitions in accordance with GAAP, those reserves may not be adequate over time to cover actual losses, and if any such losses exceed the reserved amount, we would recognize losses to the extent of such excess, which would adversely affect our net income and stockholders’ equity and, depending on the extent of such excess losses, could adversely affect our business.
The risks arising with respect to the historic business and operations of AirPatrol may be different from what we anticipate, which could significantly increase the costs and decrease the benefits of the acquisition and materially and adversely affect our operations going forward.
Although we performed significant financial, legal, technological and business due diligence with respect to AirPatrol, we may not have appreciated, understood or fully anticipated the extent of the risks associated with the acquisition. As mentioned above, we have secured indemnification for certain matters from the former equity holders of AirPatrol in order to mitigate the consequences of breaches of representations, warranties and covenants under the Merger Agreement and the risks associated with historic operations, including those with respect to compliance with laws, accuracy of financial statements, financial reporting controls and procedures, tax matters and undisclosed liabilities, and certain matters known to us. We believe that the indemnification provisions of the Merger Agreement, together with the holdback escrow and insurance policies that we and AirPatrol have in place will limit the economic consequences of the issues we have identified in our due diligence to acceptable levels. Notwithstanding our exercise of due diligence and risk mitigation strategies, the risks of the acquisition and the costs associated with these risks may be greater than we anticipate. We may not be able to contain or control the costs associated with unanticipated risks or liabilities, which could materially and adversely affect our business, liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.
Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry
We depend on the U.S. Government for a substantial portion of our business and government budget impasses together with changes in government defense spending could have adverse consequences on our financial position, results of operations and business.
A substantial portion of our U.S. revenues from Sysorex Government Service’s and AirPatrol’s operations have been from and will continue to be from sales and services rendered directly or indirectly to the U.S. Government. Consequently, the Company’s revenues are highly dependent on the Government’s demand for computer systems and related services. Our revenues from the U.S. Government largely result from contracts awarded to us under various U.S. Government programs, primarily defense-related programs with the Department of Defense (DoD), as well as a broad range of programs with the Department of Homeland Security, the Intelligence Community and other departments and agencies. Cost cutting including through consolidation and elimination of duplicative organizations and insurance has become a major initiative for DoD. The funding of our programs is subject to the overall U.S. Government budget and appropriation decisions and processes which are driven by numerous factors, including geo-political events and macroeconomic conditions. It is expected that U.S. Government spending on IT will decrease from 6% CAGR during the first decade of the 21st Century to 3%. (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018). The overall level of U.S. defense spending increased in recent years for numerous reasons, including increases in funding of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, with the winding down of both wars, defense spending levels are becoming increasingly difficult to predict and are expected to be affected by numerous factors. Such factors include priorities of the Administration and the Congress, and the overall health of the U.S. and world economies and the state of governmental finances.
The Budget Control Act of 2011 enacted 10-year discretionary spending caps which are expected to generate over $1 trillion in savings for the U.S. Government, a substantial portion of which comes from DoD baseline spending reductions. In addition, the Budget Control Act of 2011 provides for additional automatic spending cuts (referred to as “sequestration”) totaling $1.2 trillion over nine years which were implemented beginning in the U.S. Government fiscal year ending September 30, 2013 (GFY13). These reduction targets will further reduce DoD and other federal agency budgets. Although the Office of Management and Budget has provided guidance to agencies on implementing sequestration cuts, there remains much uncertainty about how exactly sequestration cuts will be implemented and the impact those cuts will have on contractors supporting the government. We are not able to predict the impact of future budget cuts, including sequestration, on our Company or our financial results. However, we expect that budgetary constraints and concerns related to the national debt will continue to place downward pressure on DoD spending levels and that implementation of the automatic spending cuts without change will reduce, delay or cancel funding for certain of our contracts - particularly those with unobligated balances - and programs and could adversely impact our operations, financial results and growth prospects.
A significant reduction in defense spending could have long-term consequences for our size and structure. In addition, reduction in government priorities and requirements could impact the funding, or the timing of funding, of our programs, which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we are involved in U.S. Government programs, which are classified by the U.S. Government and our ability to discuss these programs, including any risks and disputes and claims associated with and our performance under such programs, could be limited due to applicable security restrictions.
The U.S. Government Systems integration business is intensely competitive and we may not be able to win government bids when competing against much larger companies, which could reduce our revenues.
Large computer systems integration contracts awarded by the U.S. Government are few in number and are awarded through a formal competitive bidding process, including IDIQ, GSA Schedule and other multi-award contracts. Bids are awarded on the basis of price, compliance with technical bidding specifications, technical expertise and, in some cases, demonstrated management ability to perform the contract. There can be no assurance that the Company will win and/or fulfill additional contracts. Moreover, the award of these contracts is subject to protest procedures and there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in any ensuing legal protest. The Company’s failure to secure a significant dollar volume of U.S. Government contracts in the future would adversely affect our Sysorex Government Services subsidiary.
The U.S. Government Systems integration business is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. The Company competes with a large number of systems integrators, hardware and software manufacturers, and other large and diverse companies attempting to enter or expand their presence in the U.S. Government market. Many of the existing and potential competitors have greater financial, operating and technological resources than the Company. The competitive environment may require us to make changes in our pricing, services or marketing. The competitive bidding process involves substantial costs and a number of risks, including significant cost and managerial time to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may not be awarded to us, or that may be awarded, but for which we do not receive meaningful revenues. Accordingly, our success depends on our ability to develop services and products that address changing needs and to provide people and technology needed to deliver these services and products. To remain competitive, we must consistently provide superior service, technology and performance on a cost-effective basis to our customers. Our response to competition could cause us to expend significant financial and other resources, disrupt our operations, strain relationships with partners, any of which could harm our business and/or financial condition.
Sysorex Government Service’s financial performance is dependent on our ability to perform on our U.S. Government contracts, which are subject to termination for convenience, which could harm our results of operations and financial condition.
Sysorex Government Service’s financial performance is dependent on our performance under our U.S. Government contracts. The Company’s strategy is to pursue a limited number of relatively large contracts. As a result, prior to the Lilien Acquisition, the Company derived a significant portion of its revenues from a small number of contracts. Government customers have the right to cancel any contract at their convenience. An unanticipated termination of, or reduced purchases under, one of the Company’s major contracts whether due to lack of funding, for convenience or otherwise, or the occurrence of delays, cost overruns and product failures could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. If one of our contracts were terminated for convenience, we would generally be entitled to payments for our allowable costs and would receive some allowance for profit on the work performed. If one of our contracts were terminated for default, we would generally be entitled to payments for our work that has been accepted by the government. A termination arising out of our default could expose us to liability and have a negative impact on our ability to obtain future contracts and orders. Furthermore, on contracts for which we are a subcontractor and not the prime contractor, the U.S. Government could terminate the prime contract for convenience or otherwise, irrespective of our performance as a subcontractor. The termination or cancellation of U.S. Government contracts, no matter what the reason, could harm our results of operations and financial condition.
Our failure to comply with a variety of complex procurement rules and regulations could result in our being liable for penalties, including termination of our U.S. Government contracts, disqualification from bidding on future U.S. Government contracts and suspension or debarment from U.S. Government contracting that could adversely affect our financial condition.
We must comply with laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of U.S. Government contracts, which affect how we do business with our customers and may impose added costs on our business. U.S. Government contracts generally are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which sets forth policies, procedures and requirements for the acquisition of goods and services by the U.S. Government, department-specific regulations that implement or supplement DFAR, such as the DoD’s Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and other applicable laws and regulations. We are also subject to the Truth in Negotiations Act, which requires certification and disclosure of cost and pricing data in connection with certain contract negotiations; the Procurement Integrity Act, which regulates access to competitor bid and proposal information and government source selection information, and our ability to provide compensation to certain former government officials; the Civil False Claims Act, which provides for substantial civil penalties for violations, including for submission of a false or fraudulent claim to the U.S. Government for payment or approval; and the U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards, which impose accounting requirements that govern our right to reimbursement under certain cost-based U.S. Government contracts. These regulations impose a broad range of requirements, many of which are unique to government contracting, including various procurement, import and export, security, contract pricing and cost, contract termination and adjustment, and audit requirements. A contractor’s failure to comply with these regulations and requirements could result in reductions to the value of contracts, contract modifications or termination, and the assessment of penalties and fines and lead to suspension or debarment, for cause, from government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time. In addition, government contractors are also subject to routine audits and investigations by U.S. Government agencies such as the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA). These agencies review a contractor’s performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The DCAA also reviews the adequacy of and a contractor’s compliance with its internal control systems and policies, including the contractor’s purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. During the term of any suspension or debarment by any U.S. Government agency, contractors can be prohibited from competing for or being awarded contracts by U.S. Government agencies. The termination of any of the Company’s significant Government contracts or the imposition of fines, damages, suspensions or debarment would adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition.
The U.S. Government may adopt new contract rules and regulations or revise its procurement practices in a manner adverse to us at any time.
Our industry has experienced, and we expect it will continue to experience, significant changes to business practices as a result of an increased focus on affordability, efficiencies, and recovery of costs, among other items. U.S. Government agencies may face restrictions or pressure regarding the type and amount of services that they may obtain from private contractors. Legislation, regulations and initiatives dealing with procurement reform, mitigation of potential conflicts of interest and environmental responsibility or sustainability, as well as any resulting shifts in the buying practices of U.S. Government agencies, such as increased usage of fixed price contracts, multiple award contracts and small business set-aside contracts, could have adverse effects on government contractors, including us. Any of these changes could impair our ability to obtain new contracts or renew our existing contracts when those contracts expire and are subject to a renewed bidding process. Any new contracting requirements or procurement methods could be costly or administratively difficult for us to implement and could adversely affect our future revenues, profitability and prospects.
We may incur cost overruns as a result of fixed priced government contracts which would have a negative impact on our operations.
Most of Sysorex’s current U.S. Government contracts are multi-award, multi-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) task order based contracts, which generally provide for fixed price schedules for products and services, have no pre-set delivery schedules, have very low minimum purchase requirements, are typically competed over among multiple awardees and force us to carry the burden of any cost overruns. Due to their nature, fixed-priced contracts inherently have more risk than cost reimbursable contracts. If we are unable to control costs or if our initials cost estimates are incorrect, we can lose money on these contracts. In addition, some of our contracts have provisions relating to cost controls and audit rights, and if we fail to meet the terms specified in those contracts, we may not realize their full benefits. Lower earnings caused by cost overruns and cost controls would have a negative impact on our results of operations. The U.S. Government has the right to enter into contract with other suppliers, which may be competitive with the Company’s IDIQ contracts. The Company also performs fixed priced contracts under which the Company agrees to provide specific quantities of products and services over time for a fixed price. Since the price competition to win both IDIQ and fixed price contracts is intense and the costs of future contract performance cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance as to the profits, if any, that the Company will realize over the term of such contracts.
Misconduct of employees, subcontractors, agents and business partners could cause us to lose existing contracts or customers and adversely affect our ability to obtain new contracts and customers and could have a significant adverse impact on our business and reputation.
Misconduct could include fraud or other improper activities such as falsifying time or other records and violations of laws, including the Anti-Kickback Act. Other examples could include the failure to comply with our policies and procedures or with federal, state or local government procurement regulations, regulations regarding the use and safeguarding of classified or other protected information, legislation regarding the pricing of labor and other costs in government contracts, laws and regulations relating to environmental, health or safety matters, bribery of foreign government officials, import-export control, lobbying or similar activities, and any other applicable laws or regulations. Any data loss or information security lapses resulting in the compromise of personal information or the improper use or disclosure of sensitive or classified information could result in claims, remediation costs, regulatory sanctions against us, loss of current and future contracts and serious harm to our reputation. Although we have implemented policies, procedures and controls to prevent and detect these activities, these precautions may not prevent all misconduct, and as a result, we could face unknown risks or losses. Our failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or misconduct by any of our employees, subcontractors, agents or business partners could damage our reputation and subject us to fines and penalties, restitution or other damages, loss of security clearance, loss of current and future customer contracts and suspension or debarment from contracting with federal, state or local government agencies, any of which would adversely affect our business, reputation and our future results.
We may fail to obtain and maintain necessary security clearances, which may adversely affect our ability to perform on certain U.S. government contracts and depress our potential revenues.
Many U.S. government programs require contractors to have security clearances. Depending on the level of required clearance, security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain. If we or our employees are unable to obtain or retain necessary security clearances, we may not be able to win new business, and our existing clients could terminate their contracts with us or decide not to renew them. To the extent we are not able to obtain and maintain facility security clearances or engage employees with the required security clearances for a particular contract, we may not be able to bid on or win new contracts, or effectively rebid on expiring contracts, as well as lose existing contracts, which may adversely affect our operating results and inhibit the execution of our growth strategy.
Our future revenues and growth prospects could be adversely affected by our dependence on other contractors.
If other contractors with whom we have contractual relationships either as a prime contractor or subcontractor eliminate or reduce their work with us, or if the U.S. Government terminates or reduces these other contractors’ programs, does not award them new contracts or refuses to pay under a contract our financial and business condition may be adversely affected. Companies that do not have access to U.S. Government contracts may perform services as our subcontractor and that exposure could enhance such companies’ prospect of securing a future position as a prime U.S. Government contractor which could increase competition for future contracts and impair our ability to perform on contracts.
We may have disputes with our subcontractors arising from, among other things, the quality and timeliness of work performed by the subcontractor, customer concerns about the subcontractor, our failure to extend existing task orders or issue new task orders under a subcontract, our hiring of a subcontractor’s personnel or the subcontractor’s failure to comply with applicable law. Current uncertain economic conditions heighten the risk of financial stress of our subcontractors, which could adversely impact their ability to meet their contractual requirements to us. If any of our subcontractors fail to timely meet their contractual obligations or have regulatory compliance or other problems, our ability to fulfill our obligations as a prime contractor or higher tier subcontractor may be jeopardized. Significant losses could arise in future periods and subcontractor performance deficiencies could result in our termination for default. A termination for default could eliminate a revenue source, expose us to liability and have an adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and task orders, especially if the customer is an agency of the U.S. Government.
Sysorex Arabia is currently without contracts and is unable to repay its indebtedness, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition.
As of December 31, 2013, Sysorex Arabia had minimal cash, $749,000 in deposits and $38,000 in other assets and inter-company balances and debts. Sysorex Arabia had an accumulated deficit balance of approximately $1,560,000. Sysorex Arabia’s largest contract was with Optical Connections Corp.’s (“OCC”), main contractor Tuwaiq Communications. This contract was to build three data centers to support OCC’s FTTH (Fiber to the Home) Network. It was signed in April 2008 and put on hold soon after because of OCC’s financial and legal troubles. The Saudi Arabian Telecom Agency has cancelled OCC’s license and our contract will be cancelled as well. Sysorex Arabia will need to determine whether or not it will pursue legal recourse. Therefore, Sysorex Arabia is currently without business and is seeking new contracts. Sysorex Arabia also has aging liabilities due to vendors, employees, social insurance payments, and partners amounting to approximately $2.7 million. This has been a result primarily of the OCC Data Center project as revenue and cash-flow projections did not materialize because of the delays. Sysorex Arabia is working with local suppliers on payment plans.
Included in Sysorex Arabia’s liabilities is a judgment in the amount of $800,000 for non-performance by Sysorex’s shareholder. That amount has been paid by the shareholder and Sysorex Arabia is waiting for the Saudi Courts to remove this judgment and release it from any claims. Sysorex Arabia has taken on several loans to finance the losses to date and to pay some liabilities. In the event that any unsatisfied claims are made against the Company, this could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition if not resolved satisfactorily, as Sysorex Arabia would not be expected to satisfy its liabilities.
Our international business exposes us to geo-political and economic factors, regulatory requirements and other risks associated with doing business in foreign countries.
Our foreign operations pose complex management, foreign currency, legal, tax and economic risks, which we may not adequately address. We have foreign operations in the Middle East and expect to do business in South Asia. These risks differ from and potentially may be greater than those associated with our domestic business.
Our international business is sensitive to changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers and geo-political uncertainties, which may be driven by changes in threat environments and potentially volatile worldwide economic conditions, various regional and local economic and political factors, risks and uncertainties, as well as U.S. foreign policy. Our international sales are subject to U.S. laws, regulations and policies, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (see below) and other export laws and regulations. Due to the nature of our products, we must first obtain licenses and authorizations from various U.S. Government agencies before we are permitted to sell our products outside of the U.S. We can give no assurance that we will continue to be successful in obtaining the necessary licenses or authorizations or that certain sales will not be prevented or delayed. Any significant impairment of our ability to sell products outside of the U.S. could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.
Our international sales are also subject to local government laws, regulations and procurement policies and practices which may differ from U.S. Government regulations, including regulations relating to import-export control, investments, exchange controls and repatriation of earnings, as well as to varying currency, geo-political and economic risks. Our international contracts may include industrial cooperation agreements requiring specific in-country purchases, manufacturing agreements or financial support obligations, known as offset obligations, and provide for penalties if we fail to meet such requirements. Our international contracts may also be subject to termination at the customer’s convenience or for default based on performance, and may be subject to funding risks. We also are exposed to risks associated with using foreign representatives and consultants for international sales and operations and teaming with international subcontractors, partners and suppliers in connection with international programs. As a result of these factors, we could experience award and funding delays on international programs and could incur losses on such programs, which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.
We are also subject to a number of other risks including:
·
|
the absence in some jurisdictions of effective laws to protect our intellectual property rights;
|
|
·
|
multiple and possibly overlapping and conflicting tax laws;
|
|
·
|
restrictions on movement of cash;
|
|
·
|
the burdens of complying with a variety of national and local laws;
|
|
·
|
political instability;
|
|
·
|
currency fluctuations;
|
|
·
|
longer payment cycles;
|
|
·
|
restrictions on the import and export of certain technologies;
|
|
|
·
|
price controls or restrictions on exchange of foreign currencies; and
|
|
·
|
trade barriers.
|
Our international operations are subject to special U.S. government laws and regulations, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and regulations and procurement policies and practices, including regulations to import-export control, which may expose us to liability or impair our ability to compete in international markets.
Our international operations are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. and other business entities for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations and deal with governmental customers in countries known to experience corruption, including certain countries in the Middle East and in the future, the Far East. Our activities in these countries create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees, consultants or contractors that could be in violation of various laws including the FCPA, even though these parties are not always subject to our control. We are also subject to import-export control regulations restricting the use and dissemination of information classified for national security purposes and the export of certain products, services, and technical data, including requirements regarding any applicable licensing of our employees involved in such work.
As a U.S. defense contractor we are vulnerable to security threats and other disruptions that could negatively impact our business.
As a U.S. defense contractor, we face certain security threats, including threats to our information technology infrastructure, attempts to gain access to our proprietary or classified information, and threats to physical security. These types of events could disrupt our operations, require significant management attention and resources, and could negatively impact our reputation among our customers and the public, which could have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. We are continuously exposed to cyber-attacks and other security threats, including physical break-ins. Any electronic or physical break-in or other security breach or compromise may jeopardize security of information stored or transmitted through our information technology systems and networks. This could lead to disruptions in mission-critical systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data. Although we have implemented policies, procedures and controls to protect against, detect and mitigate these threats, we face advanced and persistent attacks on our information systems and attempts by others to gain unauthorized access to our information technology systems are becoming more sophisticated. These attempts include covertly introducing malware to our computers and networks and impersonating authorized users, among others, and may be perpetrated by well-funded organized crime or state sponsored efforts. We seek to detect and investigate all security incidents and to prevent their occurrence or recurrence. We continue to invest in and improve our threat protection, detection and mitigation policies, procedures and controls. In addition, we work with other companies in the industry and government participants on increased awareness and enhanced protections against cyber security threats. However, because of the evolving nature and sophistication of these security threats, which can be difficult to detect, there can be no assurance that our policies, procedures and controls have or will detect or prevent any of these threats and we cannot predict the full impact of any such past or future incident. We may experience similar security threats to the information and technology systems that we develop, install or maintain under customer contracts. Although we work cooperatively with our customers and other business partners to seek to minimize the impacts of cyber and other security threats, we must rely on the safeguards put in place by those entities. Any remedial costs or other liabilities related to cyber or other security threats may not be fully insured or indemnified by other means. Occurrence of any of these security threats could expose us to claims, contract terminations and damages and could adversely affect our reputation, ability to work on sensitive U.S. Government contracts, business operations and financial results.
Difficult conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations, and we do not expect these conditions to improve in the near future.
Our results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally, both in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. Weak economic conditions generally, sustained uncertainty about global economic conditions, concerns about future U.S. government budget impasses or a prolonged or further tightening of credit markets could cause our customers and potential customers to postpone or reduce spending on technology products or services or put downward pressure on prices, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows. Concerns over inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues and the availability of credit, in the U.S. have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and the markets going forward. These factors, combined with volatile oil prices and wavering business and consumer confidence, have precipitated an economic slowdown and a global recession. Domestic and international equity markets have been experiencing heightened volatility and turmoil. These events and the continuing market upheavals may have an adverse effect on our business. In the event of extreme prolonged market events, such as the global economic recovery, we could incur significant losses.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
We are eligible to be treated as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which we refer to as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (2) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus and our periodic reports and proxy statements and (3) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, as an emerging growth company, we are only required to provide two years of audited financial statements and two years of selected financial data in this prospectus. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of any June 30 before that time or if we have total annual gross revenue of $1.0 billion or more during any fiscal year before that time, in which cases we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31 or, if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during any three-year period before that time, we would cease to be an emerging growth company immediately. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company” which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until the later of our second annual report or the first annual report required to be filed with the Commission following the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. We cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls in the future.
Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Our directors and executive officers beneficially own a significant number of shares of our common stock. Their interests may conflict with our outside stockholders, who may be unable to influence management and exercise control over our business.
As of the date of this prospectus, our executive officers and directors beneficially own approximately 43% of our shares of common stock. As a result, our executive officers and directors may be able to: elect or defeat the election of our directors, amend or prevent amendment to our articles of incorporation or bylaws, effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction, and control the outcome of any other matter submitted to the shareholders for vote. Accordingly, our outside stockholders may be unable to influence management and exercise control over our business.
We do not intend to pay cash dividends to our stockholders, so it is unlikely that stockholders will receive any return on their investment in our Company prior to selling stock in the Company.
We have never paid any dividends to our common stockholders as a public company. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth and, therefore, do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. If we determine that we will pay cash dividends to the holders of our common stock, we cannot assure that such cash dividends will be paid on a timely basis. The success of your investment in the Company will likely depend entirely upon any future appreciation. As a result, you will not receive any return on your investment prior to selling your shares in our Company and, for the other reasons discussed in this “Risk Factors” section, you may not receive any return on your investment even when you sell your shares in our Company.
Anti-Takeover, Limited Liability and Indemnification Provisions
Some provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may deter takeover attempts, which may inhibit a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and limit the opportunity of our stockholders to sell their shares at a favorable price.
Under our articles of incorporation, our Board of Directors may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock. Our Board of Directors has the ability to authorize “blank check” preferred stock without future shareholder approval. This makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, including a transaction in which our stockholders would receive a premium over the market price for their shares and/or any other transaction that might otherwise be deemed to be in their best interests, and thereby protects the continuity of our management and limits an investor’s opportunity to profit by their investment in the Company. Specifically, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board of Directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, shares could be issued by our Board of Directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover by:
·
|
diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group,
|
|
·
|
putting a substantial voting bloc in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the incumbent Board of Directors, or
|
|
·
|
effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover.
|
Nevada Anti-Takeover Law may discourage acquirers and eliminate a potentially beneficial sale for our stockholders.
We are subject to the provisions of Section 78.438 of the Nevada Revised Statutes concerning corporate takeovers. This section prevents many Nevada corporations from engaging in a business combination with any interested stockholder, under specified circumstances. For these purposes, a business combination includes a merger or sale of more than 5% of our assets, and an interested stockholder includes a stockholder who owns 10% or more of our outstanding voting stock, as well as affiliates and associates of these persons. Under these provisions, this type of business combination is prohibited for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder unless:
·
|
the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder is approved by the Board of Directors prior to the date the interested stockholder attained that status;
|
|
·
|
on consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder’s becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 90% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction was commenced, excluding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers; or
|
|
·
|
on or subsequent to that date, the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
|
This statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us.
Our indemnification of our officers and directors may cause us to use corporate resources to the detriment of our stockholders.
Our articles of incorporation eliminate the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. This limitation does not affect the availability of equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our articles of incorporation require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Nevada law.
Under Nevada law, we may indemnify our directors or officers or other persons who were, are or are threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was our director, officer, employee or agent, if we determine that the person:
·
|
conducted himself or herself in good faith, reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity as our director or officer, that his or her conduct was in our best interests, and, in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to our best interests; and
|
|
|
·
|
in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
|
These persons may be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, including excise taxes, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding. If the person is found liable to the corporation, no indemnification will be made unless the court in which the action was brought determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity in an amount that the court will establish.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the above provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
The obligations associated with being a public company require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from our business operations.
Following consummation of our initial public offering, we became subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements, and other information. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are required to certify that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. We will need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other financial personnel in order to enhance appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. As a result, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. Furthermore, the need to establish the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company may divert management’s attention from implementing our growth strategy, which could prevent us from improving our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have made, and will continue to make, changes to our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and accounting systems to meet our reporting obligations as a public company. However, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as a public company. In addition, we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur in order to comply with these requirements. We anticipate that these costs will materially increase our selling, general and administrative expenses.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the implementation of the necessary procedures and practices related to internal control over financial reporting, we may identify deficiencies. If we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, then we may not be able to obtain the independent registered public accountants' certifications required by that act, which may preclude us from keeping our filings with the SEC current, and interfere with the ability of investors to trade our securities and our shares to continue to be listed on the Nasdaq stock market.
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. With each prospective acquisition we may make we will conduct whatever due diligence is necessary or prudent to assure us that the acquisition target can comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Notwithstanding our diligence, certain internal controls deficiencies may not be detected. As a result, any internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and access to capital. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical undiscovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement.
Risks Related to our Securities
Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, these rules and regulations increase our compliance costs and make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public company, these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to maintain our director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers, and to maintain insurance at reasonable rates, or at all.
Our stock price may be volatile.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be 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 execute our business plan and complete prospective acquisitions;
|
|
·
|
changes in our industry;
|
|
·
|
competitive pricing pressures;
|
|
·
|
our ability to obtain working capital financing;
|
|
·
|
additions or departures of key personnel;
|
|
·
|
limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;
|
|
·
|
sales of our common stock (particularly following effectiveness of this registration statement);
|
|
·
|
operating results that fall below expectations;
|
|
·
|
regulatory developments;
|
|
·
|
economic and other external factors;
|
|
·
|
period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results;
|
|
·
|
our inability to develop or acquire new or needed technologies;
|
|
·
|
the public’s response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including filings with the SEC;
|
|
·
|
changes in financial estimates or ratings by any securities analysts who follow our common stock, our failure to meet these estimates or failure of those analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our common stock;
|
|
·
|
the development and sustainability of an active trading market for our common stock; and
|
|
·
|
any future sales of our common stock by our officers, directors and significant stockholders.
|
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced 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.
Our shares of common stock are thinly traded, the price may not reflect our value, and there can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future.
Our shares of common stock are thinly traded, our common stock is available to be traded and is held by a small number of holders, and the price may not reflect our actual or perceived value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our operating business, among other things. We will take certain steps including utilizing investor awareness campaigns, investor relations firms, press releases, road shows and conferences to increase awareness of our business. Any steps that we might take to bring us to the awareness of investors may require that we compensate consultants with cash and/or stock. There can be no assurance that there will be any awareness generated or the results of any efforts will result in any impact on our trading volume. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business, and trading may be at an inflated price relative to the performance of the Company due to, among other things, the availability of sellers of our shares. If an active market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Because there is currently a relatively low per-share price for our common stock, many brokerage firms or clearing firms are not willing to effect transactions in the securities or accept our shares for deposit in an account. Many lending institutions will not permit the use of low priced shares of common stock as collateral for any loans.
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.
If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, including shares issuable upon the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to this prospectus, upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144, or shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and, 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.
In general, a non-affiliated person who has held restricted shares for a period of six months, under Rule 144, may sell into the market our common stock all of their shares, subject to the Company being current in its periodic reports filed with the SEC. As of August 20, 2014, approximately 5,725,892 shares of common stock of the 19,630,339 shares issued and outstanding were free trading. In our case an affiliate of the Company may sell an amount equal to the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares or the average weekly number of our shares sold in the last four weeks prior to such sale. Such sales may be repeated once every three months, and any of the restricted shares may be sold by a non-affiliate without any restriction after they have been held one year.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market by the selling stockholders, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional shares. As of August 27, 2014 we had approximately 19,630,339 shares of common stock outstanding (assuming none of our outstanding warrants are exercised). Upon effectiveness of the registration statement relating to this prospectus, up to 5,768,470 shares of common stock held by the selling stockholders will become freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except for any shares of our common stock that may be held or acquired by our directors, executive officers and other affiliates, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, which will be restricted securities under the Securities Act. Restricted securities may not be sold in the public market unless the sale is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available.
In addition, as of June 30, 2014, there were 411,262 shares subject to outstanding warrants, 2,578,658 shares subject to outstanding options (including 625,000 outside of our plan) and an additional 680,842 shares (as amended) reserved for future issuance under our Amended and Restated 2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan that will become, or have already become, eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by any applicable vesting requirements, the lock-up agreements and Rules 144 and 701 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In accordance with lockup arrangements relating to our initial public offering on April 9, 2014, holders of an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock held by the former Lilien members and 1,381,000 shares of our common stock held by former Shoom shareholders may not be sold until mid-October of 2014. The shares held by these stockholders are included in the registration statement relating to this prospectus. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale - Rule 144”.
Forward Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Federal Securities laws. These statements relate to future events or future predictions, including those relating to our future financial performance, and are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, our future performance, our beliefs and management’s assumptions. They are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “feel,” “confident,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” ”forecast,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks described under “Risk Factors” that may cause the Company’s or its industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In addition to the risks described in these Risk Factors, important factors to consider and evaluate in such forward-looking statements include: (i) general economic conditions and changes in the external competitive market factors which might impact the Company’s results of operations; (ii) unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements including those created by the failure of the Company to adequately anticipate the costs associated with acquisitions and other critical activities; (iii) changes in the Company’s corporate strategy or an inability to execute its strategy due to unanticipated changes; and (iv) the failure of the Company to complete any or all of the transactions described herein on the terms currently contemplated. In light of these risks and uncertainties, many of which are described in greater detail elsewhere in this Risk Factors discussion, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus will in fact transpire.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We do not undertake any duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to conform such statements to actual results or changes in our expectations.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, permits an “emerging growth company” such as ours to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We are choosing to “opt out” of this provision and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards as required when they are adopted. This decision to opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act is irrevocable.
This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. We will receive no proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders in this offering. The proceeds from the sales will belong to the selling stockholders. The registration statement relating to this prospectus includes registration of up to 139,584 shares of common stock under warrants held by our lender Bridge Bank, N.A. If Bridge Bank exercises these warrants, we will receive the proceeds of the warrant exercise of up to $210,000, which shall be used for general corporate purposes. Any proceeds received by Bridge Bank in the resale of the underlying shares of common stock will belong to Bridge Bank.
The Company will bear the cost of this registration statement.
This prospectus relates to the possible resale by the selling stockholders upon expiration of a six-month lockup agreement running from the date of our initial public offering. We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part pursuant to (i) the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 31, 2013 relating to the Shoom Acquisition, under which we agreed to provide certain registration rights with respect to sales by certain former shareholders of Shoom, Inc. of the shares of our common stock issued to them in the Shoom Acquisition; (ii) the Asset Purchase and Merger Agreement dated March 1, 2013 relating to the Lilien Acquisition, under which we agreed to provide certain registration rights with respect to sales by certain former members of Lilien Systems LLC of the shares of our common stock issued to them in the Lilien Acquisition, (iii) the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 20, 2013, as amended, relating to the AirPatrol Acquisition under which we agreed to provide certain registration rights with respect to sales by certain former securityholders of AirPatrol Corporation of the shares of our common stock issued to them in the AirPatrol Acquisition, and (iv) piggy-back registration rights granted to other selling stockholders. The selling stockholders, may, from time to time, offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the shares that they hold or that may be acquired by them from the Company. The selling stockholders may sell some, all or none of their shares. We do not know how long the selling stockholders will hold the shares before selling them, and other than the above-mentioned acquisition agreements and six-month lockup agreements, we have no other agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholders regarding the sale of any of their shares.
The following table presents information regarding the selling stockholders and the shares that they may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus. The table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholders, and reflects their holdings as of August 27, 2014.
Except for the following officers of our subsidiaries, none of the selling stockholders nor any of their affiliates currently holds an executive office, or has any other material relationship, with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates: Geoffrey I. Lilien, CEO of Lillien Systems; Bret R. Osborn, President of Lilien Systems; Dhruv Gulati, Executive Vice President of Lilien Systems; William Freschi, CEO of Shoom, Inc.; Dan Cole, President of Shoom, Inc.; Sharon Ryoji, Senior Vice President of Shoom, Inc.; and Cleve Adams, CEO of AirPatrol Corporation.
As used in this prospectus, the term “selling stockholders” includes each of the selling stockholders and any donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholders as a gift, pledge or other non-sale related transfer. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. The percentage of shares beneficially owned prior to the offering is based on 19,630,339 shares of our common stock actually outstanding as of August 27, 2014.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the state’s registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the shares as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions from the selling stockholder and/or purchasers of the common stock for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent. The compensation paid to a particular broker-dealer may be less than or in excess of customary commissions. We are not able to presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will receive.
We know of no existing arrangements between any of our stockholders, and any broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares offered by this prospectus. At the time a particular offer of shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed that will set forth the names of any agents, underwriters or dealers and any compensation from the selling stockholder, and any other required information.

Under the Registration Rights Agreements dated March 15, 2013 and August 29, 2013, the Company agreed to register 83,334 and 56,250 shares of common stock, respectively, underlying warrants issued to Bridge Bank, N.A. in connection with credit facilities.

Overview of Our Business
Sysorex provides a variety of IT services and technologies that enable customers to manage, protect and monetize their enterprise assets whether on-premise, in the Cloud, or via mobile devices. The Company’s business focuses primarily on Big Data analytic solutions and services. The recent acquisition of AirPatrol Corporation (“AirPatrol”), a developer of location-based cybersecurity and commercial services systems for mobile devices, on April 18, 2014, has provided the Company with the opportunity to expand its capabilities into location-based detection products. The Company expects that location data from AirPatrol will also drive new data analytic offerings. Historically, our customer base was made up 100% of government agencies. However, the recent acquisitions in 2013 of Lilien System (“Lilien”), an enterprise IT infrastructure solutions and data analytics provider and Shoom, Inc. (“Shoom”), a provider of Cloud-based data analytics and enterprise solutions to the media, publishing, and entertainment industries, our customer base has significantly shifted. Currently, approximately 90% of the revenues we earn are from commercial enterprises and approximately 10% are from government agencies.
Our Business Strategy and Products
The acquisitions of Lilien and Shoom have expanded our depth of enterprise service offerings, including Big Data services and Cloud-based advanced analytics. Shoom also provides Sysorex with secure Cloud-based software products, which result in higher gross margins. AirPatrol provides location based technologies for mobile cyber security applications as well as other location-based services. These acquisitions reflect our business strategy, the purpose of which is to transform Sysorex from a services company to a technology company. We believe the acquisitions also provide us with an opportunity for vertical market and geographic expansion. We intend to focus our expansion efforts in the U.S. market but may consider and reserve the right to pursue international acquisitions and business opportunities.
Cyber security and Big Data analytics are the areas we are targeting because we believe, based on industry data, that these are growing market segments. Our plan is to acquire technology companies, some of which may have patented technology, which we believe will give us an advantage over our competitors. However, the IT services and technologies industry is extremely competitive and many of the providers in the industry are extremely large and well financed. Therefore, there is a risk that the technologies we acquire or develop might not be able to compete with the better-financed marketing and sales efforts of our larger competitors or that the technology could become obsolete if our competitors develop better products.
Recent events such as the budget impasse and sequestration in the federal government could continue to impact government customer funding for projects that Sysorex is pursuing by delaying payment or decisions on contract/task order awards, as the Company has experienced with prior awards, including the U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract, awarded in February 2013. However, our government contracts are currently less than 10% of our total revenues. Such government contracts typically have a three to five year term and we believe that our recent government contract revenues will be indicative of future government contract based revenues. AirPatrol also has a large government service customer base which could also be impacted by any future delays in government funding.
Lilien’s revenues are typically driven by purchase orders that are received on a monthly basis. Approximately 25% of these purchase orders are recurring contracts that range from one to five years for warranty and maintenance support. For these contracts the customer is invoiced one time and pays Lilien upfront for the full term of the warranty and maintenance contract. Revenue from these contracts is determinable ratably over the contract period with the unearned revenue recorded as deferred revenue and amortized over the contract period. Lilien has a 29-year history and a high repeat customer rate of approximately 60% annually. Lilien’s revenues are diversified over hundreds of customers and no one customer exceeds 15% of its revenues. Management believes this diversification provides stability to Lilien’s revenue streams.
Shoom’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) contracts are typically performed for periods of one or more years and Shoom has a high customer retention rate. Shoom offers eSolutions including eTearsheets, invoicing, CRM, and other products and services to 750 newspapers in the Cloud. Cloud or SaaS based analytics is a growing market that Sysorex intends to pursue beyond the media vertical that Shoom is in today. Shoom has been in business for over 10 years and has been providing its Cloud solutions for over four years.
We believe the accretive impact of our acquisition strategy is becoming evident as the six months ended June 30, 2014 include six months of Lilien and Shoom revenues and two and one half months of AirPatrol revenues, resulting in an increase in revenues of approximately $13 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. We also anticipate synergies and operational efficiencies to improve revenues and profitability for Sysorex, Lilien, AirPatrol and Shoom over the next 12 months. Sysorex’s U.S. government operations are profitable and this division is expected to grow as a result of the U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract awarded in 2013 and the U.S. Army PMSS-3 Program, which is a $450 million five-year task order based multiple award contract granted to Sysorex earlier this year. The U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract started releasing task orders in 2014; however, the U.S. Army PMSS-3 Program is currently under automatic stay as some of the un-successful bidders are challenging the agency's selection decision and therefore the government will not be issuing any task orders until the protests are resolved. With the addition of Shoom we believe that our liquidity will improve significantly as Shoom’s business model generates approximately 79% gross margins. We believe that our shift to technology based business lines like Shoom and other future acquisitions will increase our customer base and, in turn, increase revenues to a level that will allow us to achieve profitability.

In connection with the Company’s initial public offering described below and in order to satisfy the initial listing requirements for The NASDAQ Capital Market, on April 8, 2014 the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a one-for-two reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s common stock, with no reduction in authorized capital.
April 2014 Initial Public Offering
On April 9, 2014, in connection with an offering (the “Offering”) by the Company of an aggregate of 3,333,333 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, at a price to the public of $6.00 per Share, including 166,667 shares sold by a selling stockholder, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Wellington Shields & Co. LLC, and Dougherty & Co. LLC. (collectively, the “Underwriters”), with respect to the sale by the Company and the purchase by the Underwriters of the Shares. The Shares were registered for offer and sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-191648) and a related prospectus.
On April 15, 2014, upon the closing of the Offering, the Company received approximately $17.7 million from the sale of 3,166,666 Shares in the Offering, excluding the Shares sold by the selling stockholder, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions. The net proceeds of the Offering were used in connection with the acquisition of AirPatrol and will also be used to expand the Company’s sales and marketing efforts, including expanding its Washington, D.C. office, for future strategic acquisitions, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Nasdaq Listing
On April 10, 2014, in connection with the offering of the Shares described above, the Company’s common stock began trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market, under the symbol “SYRX”.
AirPatrol Merger
On April 18, 2014, the Company became the holder of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of AirPatrol upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between the Company and Airpatrol (the “Airpatrol Merger Agreement”). In accordance with Amendment 2 to the Airpatrol Merger Agreement, the AirPatrol acquisition was deemed effective as of April 16, 2014 for accounting purposes. At the closing, the Company (i) paid or initiated actions to pay a total of $8,466,258 to various former stockholders, former noteholders, former directors, professional service firms and continuing officers, (ii) issued a total of 1,042,809 shares of its common stock to former stockholders, directors, and continuing officers of AirPatrol, and to the investment banking firm of AGC Partners, LLC, and (iii) issued 800,000 shares of its common stock into a holdback escrow. A working capital adjustment applied at closing reduced cash consideration by approximately $486,000 and reduced stock merger consideration by 157,192 shares. Additionally, a total of $1,047,781 was deducted from cash merger consideration in conjunction with repayment of AirPatrol’s indebtedness to the Company. None of the persons receiving merger consideration from the Company at the closing had any material relationship, other than in respect of the merger transaction, with the Company, its affiliates, directors, officers, or any associate of such directors and officers.
JOBS Act
Pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected to opt out of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP. In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 of the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. We believe that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no changes to estimates during the periods presented in the filing. Historically changes in management estimates have not been material.
Revenue Recognition
We provide IT solutions and services to customers with revenues derived primarily from the sale of third-party hardware and software products, software, assurance, licenses and other consulting services, including maintenance services. The products and services we sell, and the manner in which they are bundled, are technologically complex and the characterization of these products and services require judgment in order to apply revenue recognition policies. For all these revenue sources, we determine whether we are the principal or agent in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic, 605-45 Principal Agent Considerations.
We allocate the total arrangement consideration to the deliverables based on an estimated selling price of our products and services and report revenues containing multiple deliverable arrangements under ASC 605-25 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“ASC-605-25”). These multiple deliverable arrangements primarily consist of the following deliverables: third-party computer hardware, third-party software, third-party hardware and software maintenance (a.k.a. support), and third-party services. We determine the estimated selling price using cost plus a reasonable margin for each deliverable, which was based on our established policies and procedures for providing customers with quotes, as well as historical gross margins for our products and services. From time to time our personnel are contracted to perform installation and services for the customer. In situations where we bundle all or a portion of the separate elements, Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) is determined based on prices when sold separately. Our revenue recognition policies vary based upon these revenue sources and the mischaracterization of these products and services could result in misapplication of revenue recognition polices.
We recognize revenue when the following criteria are met (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, these criteria are met upon shipment to customers with respect to the sales of hardware and software products. With respect to our maintenance and other service agreements, this criteria is met once the service has been provided. Revenue from the sales of our services on time and material contracts is recognized based on a fixed hourly rate as direct labor hours are expended. We recognize revenue for sales of all services on a fixed fee ratably over the term of the arrangement as such services are provided. The Company evaluates whether the revenues it receives from the sale of hardware and software products, licenses, and services, including maintenance and professional consulting services should be recognized on a gross or net basis on a transaction by transaction basis. We maintain primary responsibility for the materials and procedures utilized to service our customers, even in connection with the sale of third party-products and maintenance services as we are responsible for the fulfillment and acceptability of the products and services purchased by our customers. In addition, the nature of the products sold to our customers are such that they need configuration in order to be utilized properly for the purposes intended by the customer and therefore we assume certain responsibility for product staging, configuration, installation, modification, and integration with other client systems, or retain general inventory risk upon customer return or rejection. Our customers rely on us to develop the appropriate solutions and specifications applicable to their specific system and then integrate any such required products or services into their systems. As described above, we are responsible for the day to day maintenance and warranty services provided in connection with all of our existing customer relationships, whether such services are ultimately provided directly by the Company and its employees or by the applicable third party service provider. As of the date of this filing, after an evaluation of all of our existing customer relationships, we have concluded that we are the primary obligor to all of our existing customers and therefore recognize all revenues on a gross basis.
Long-lived Assets
We account for our long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“ASC 360”), which requires that long-lived assets be evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed. Some of the events or changes in circumstances that would trigger an impairment test include, but are not limited to:
·
|
significant under-performance relative to expected and/or historical results (negative comparable sales growth or operating cash flows for two consecutive years);
|
|
|
·
|
significant negative industry or economic trends;
|
|
·
|
knowledge of transactions involving the sale of similar property at amounts below our carrying value; or
|
|
·
|
our expectation to dispose of long-lived assets before the end of their estimated useful lives, even though the assets do not meet the criteria to be classified as “held for sale.”
|
Long-lived assets are grouped for recognition and measurement of impairment at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. The impairment test for long-lived assets requires us to assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets by comparing their net carrying value to the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows directly associated with and arising from our use and eventual disposition of the assets. If the net carrying value of a group of long-lived assets exceeds the sum of related undiscounted estimated future cash flows, we would be required to record an impairment charge equal to the excess, if any, of net carrying value over fair value.
When assessing the recoverability of our long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, we make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors. Some of these assumptions involve a high degree of judgment and also bear a significant impact on the assessment conclusions. Included among these assumptions are estimating undiscounted future cash flows, including the projection of comparable sales, operating expenses, capital requirements for maintaining property and equipment and residual value of asset groups. We formulate estimates from historical experience and assumptions of future performance, based on business plans and forecasts, recent economic and business trends, and competitive conditions. In the event that our estimates or related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an impairment charge. We concluded there were no triggering events to further measure for impairment during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.
We evaluate the remaining useful lives of long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that a revision to the remaining period of amortization is warranted. Such events or circumstances may include (but are not limited to): the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and/or other economic factors including the stability of the industry in which we operate, known technological advances, legislative actions, or changes in the regulatory environment. If the estimated remaining useful lives change, the remaining carrying amount of the long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets would be amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. We have determined that there were no events or circumstances during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 which would indicate a revision to the remaining amortization period related to any of our long-lived assets. Accordingly, we believe that the current estimated useful lives of long-lived assets reflect the period over which they are expected to contribute to future cash flows and are therefore deemed appropriate.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Assets
We have recorded goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets in connection with our acquisitions of Lilien and Shoom. Goodwill, which represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets of the acquired company, is not amortized. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are stated at fair value as of the date acquired in a business combination. Our goodwill balance and other assets with indefinite lives are evaluated for potential impairment during the fourth quarter of each year and in certain other circumstances. The evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of the business to the recorded value, including goodwill. To determine the fair value of the business, we utilize both the “Income Approach”, which is based on estimates of future net cash flows and the “Market Approach”, which observes transactional evidence involving similar businesses. There was no goodwill impairment for the six months ended June 30, 2014 or for the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.
Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2. Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3. Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data.
The derivative liability was measured at fair value using the Black Scholes pricing model and was classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The significant assumptions and valuation methods that we used to determine fair value and the change in fair value of the Company’s derivative liability was

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” (“ASC 815”), we presented the derivative liabilities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, with the corresponding changes in fair value recorded in our consolidated statements of operations for the applicable reporting periods. We computed the fair value of the derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and the reporting dates of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The fair value of conversion options that are convertible at variable rate are deemed to be a “down-round protection” and therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815. Since, “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. The Company determined the fair value of the Binomial Lattice Model and the Black-Scholes Valuation Model to be materially the same. Warrants that have been reclassified to derivative liability that did not contain “down-round protection” were valued using the Black-Scholes model. The Company’s outstanding warrants did not contain any down round protection.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to estimate the fair value of the warrants or options granted. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the warrants or options granted.
The fair value of our common stock was derived from the valuation of our company using a combination of the discounted cash flows method and comparable companies’ methods that included multiples based upon the last twelve months and forward revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). Management determined that the results of its valuation are reasonable. The term represents the remaining contractual term of the derivative. The volatility rate was developed based on analysis of the historical volatility rates of several other similarly situated companies (using a number of observations that was at least equal to or exceeded the number of observations in the life of the derivative financial instrument at issue). The risk free interest rates were obtained from publicly available U.S. Treasury yield curve rates. The dividend yield is zero because we have not paid dividends and do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
Deferred Income Taxes
In accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), management routinely evaluates the likelihood of the realization of its income tax benefits and the recognition of its deferred tax assets. In evaluating the need for any valuation allowance, management will assess whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. Ultimately, the realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or tax credits and tax loss carry-forwards can be utilized. In performing its analyses, management considers both positive and negative evidence including historical financial performance, previous earnings patterns, future earnings forecasts, tax planning strategies, economic and business trends and the potential realization of net operating loss carry-forwards within a reasonable timeframe. To this end, management considered (i) that we have had historical losses in the prior years and cannot anticipate generating a sufficient level of future profits in order to realize the benefits of its deferred tax asset; (ii) tax planning strategies; and (iii) the adequacy of future income as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, based upon certain economic conditions and historical losses through December 31, 2013, management deemed it appropriate and established a full valuation allowance.
A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax filings that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2012 and 2013, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The guidance also discusses the classification of related interest and penalties on income taxes. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Convertible Instruments
We account for hybrid contracts that feature conversion options in accordance with ASC 815 and ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, which require us to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria includes circumstances in which (i) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (ii) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (iii) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. The derivative is subsequently marked to market at each reporting date based on current fair value, with the changes in fair value reported in results of operations.
Conversion options that contain variable settlement features such as provisions to adjust the conversion price upon subsequent issuances of equity or equity linked securities at exercise prices more favorable than that featured in the hybrid contract generally result in their bifurcation from the host instrument.
We account for convertible debt instruments when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. We record, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt. We also record, when necessary, deemed dividends for the fair value of conversion options embedded in preferred stock.
Derivative Financial Instruments
In connection with the issuance of certain convertible promissory notes, the terms of the convertible notes included an embedded conversion feature which provided for a conversion of the convertible promissory notes into shares of our common stock at a rate which was determined to be variable. We determined that the conversion feature was an embedded derivative instrument pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.”
The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that we record the conversion option and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the convertible debenture agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. As a result of entering into the convertible promissory notes, we were required to reclassify all other non-employee warrants and options as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date. Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. We reassess the classification of the instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain our reserves for credit losses at a level believed by management to be adequate to absorb potential losses inherent in the respective balances. We assign an internal credit quality rating to all new customers and update these ratings regularly, but no less than annually. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the reserve for credit losses for our accounts and notes receivable is based on the age of the receivable balance, the customer’s credit quality rating, an evaluation of historical credit losses, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors.
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 allowance for credit losses included a general allowance of $549,000 and $133,000, respectfully and as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 allowance for credit losses included a general allowance of $547,672 and $133,180, respectively, due to the aging of the items greater than 120 days outstanding and other potential non-collections.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value is recorded as goodwill. Any changes in the estimated fair values of the net assets recorded for acquisitions prior to the finalization of more detailed analysis, but not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. Any subsequent changes to any purchase price allocations that are material to our condensed consolidated financial results will be adjusted. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and in-process research and development costs are recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and assessed for impairment thereafter until completion, at which point the asset is amortized over its expected useful life. Separately recognized transactions associated with business combinations are generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date. The application of business combination and impairment accounting requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
Upon acquisition, the accounts and results of operations are consolidated as of and subsequent to the acquisition date and are included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the acquisition date.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with accounting guidance which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date the services are performed.
We account for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with accounting guidance that requires that awards are recorded at their fair value on the date of grant and are amortized over the vesting period of the award. We recognize compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the equity instrument issued.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to estimate the fair value of the options or their equivalent. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the options granted.
The principal assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes model along with the results from the model were as follows:

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Revenues
Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 were $33,465,000 compared to $20,150,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. This increase of $13,315,000 was primarily attributable to the Lilien Acquisition effective March 1, 2013 and the inclusion of Lilien’s six months of 2014 revenues of $27,873,000 (as compared to four months of Lilien revenue in the comparable period in 2013 of $17,836,000), the Shoom Acquisition effective August 31, 2013 and the inclusion of Shoom’s six months ended June 30, 2014 revenues of $1,981,000, and the AirPatrol Acquisition effective April 16, 2014 and the inclusion of AirPatrol’s revenues of $1,106,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, revenues from information technology solutions to U.S. and foreign governments were $2,505,000 and for the comparable period in the prior year, revenues were $2,314,000. IT Commercial revenue was $27,873,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $17,836,000 during the comparable period in the prior year as this business sector was acquired March 1, 2013 and only four month of operations were included in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Revenue for eSolutions was $1,981,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $0 during the comparable period in the prior year as the Company did not do business in this segment prior to the acquisition of Shoom. Revenue for Location-based Technology was $1,106,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $0 during the comparable period in the prior year as the Company did not do business in this segment prior to the acquisition of AirPatrol. IT Government revenue was $2,505,000 and $2,314,000 during the comparable period in the prior year, which increased slightly due to new contracts and organic growth.
Costs of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $23,434,000 compared to $15,696,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. This increase of $7,738,000 was primarily attributable to the Lilien Acquisition effective March 1, 2013 and the inclusion of Lilien’s cost of revenues of $21,641,000 (as compared to four months of Lilien cost of revenues in the comparable period in 2013 of $14,454,000) , the Shoom Acquisition effective August 31, 2013 and the inclusion of Shoom’s cost of revenues of $401,000 and the AirPatrol acquisition effective April 16, 2014 and the inclusion of AirPatrol’s cost of revenues of $126,000. The costs of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to the IT Government business were $1,267,000 as compared to $1,242,000 for the comparable period of the prior year. This slight increase was due to cost of goods related to new contracts and organic growth.
The gross profit margins for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were 30.0% and 22.1%, respectively. IT Commercial gross margin was 22.4%, gross margin for eSolutions was 79.8% and gross margin for Location Based Technology was 88.6% during the six month period ended June 30, 2014. IT Commercial gross margin was 19.0% during the six month period ended June 30, 2013. There are no comparable amounts for eSolutions or Location Based Technology for the prior year, as the Company did not do business in these segments prior to the acquisition of Shoom and AirPatrol. The gross margin from IT Government (Sysorex’s historical business) was 49.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 46.3% during the comparable period in the prior year. This slight increase is due to new contracts during the period that included a product mix with higher margins. We expect gross profit margins to increase in the future as AirPatrol revenue is expected to increase our overall gross profit margins. (See Note 6 and section titled “Airpatrol Merger”).
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $13,095,000 compared to $5,847,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.

This increase of $1,673,000 was primarily attributable to $358,000 of additional acquisition transaction costs to the amount incurred in the comparable period in 2013, a $249,000 increase in stock based compensation, a $928,000 in other selling, general and administrative expenses, a $691,000 loss associated with the AirPatrol operations (which includes $921,000 of non-cash amortization of intangibles) offset by a $538,000 profit from the Shoom operations.
Other Expense
Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $187,000 compared to $577,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. This decrease of $390,000 was attributable to $489,000 of non-cash charges in 2013 for the change in the fair value of a derivative liability for warrants issued offset by an increase in interest expense of $126,000 due to interest being charged for six months in the period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to four months in the comparable period in the prior year under the revolving line of credit and six months of interest under the term loan in 2014 as compared to zero months in 2013 as the term loan was entered into in August 2013.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $35,000 compared to $0 for the comparable period in the prior year. This increase of $35,000 is attributable to estimated federal alternative minimum tax paid during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Deferred tax assets resulting from such losses are fully reserved as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 since, at present, we have no history of taxable income and it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.
Net Loss Attributable To Non-Controlling Interest
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $98,000 compared to $75,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. This increase of $23,000 was attributable to the increase in the loss of Sysorex Arabia and was not material.

Non-GAAP Financial information
EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management as the matrix in which it manages the business. It is defined as EBITDA plus adjustments for other income or expense items, non-recurring items and non-cash stock-based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was income of $506,000 compared to income of $292,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. Overall, Adjusted EBITDA compares favorably to the net loss attributable to stockholders of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. as described in the following paragraph.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income/loss attributable to stockholders of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp., which is our GAAP operating performance measure, to Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

We rely on Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure for the following:
·
|
To review and assess the operating performance of our Company as permitted by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting;
|
|
·
|
To compare our current operating results with corresponding periods and with the operating results of other companies in our industry;
|
|
·
|
As a basis for allocating resources to various projects;
|
|
·
|
As a measure to evaluate potential economic outcomes of acquisitions, operational alternatives and strategic decisions; and
|
|
·
|
To evaluate internally the performance of our personnel.
|
We have presented Adjusted EBITDA above because we believe it conveys useful information to investors regarding our operating results. We believe it provides an additional way for investors to view our operations, when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliation to net income (loss). By including this information we can provide investors with a more complete understanding of our business. Specifically, we present Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental disclosure because of the following:
·
|
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of interest, income taxes, and other non-operating expenses as well as depreciation and amortization which are non-cash expenses;
|
|
·
|
We believe that it is useful to provide to investors with a standard operating metric used by management to evaluate our operating performance; and
|
|
·
|
We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to compare our results to other companies.
|
Even though we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors, it does have limitations as an analytical tool. Thus, we strongly urge investors not to consider this metric in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) and the other consolidated statement of operations data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include the fact that:
·
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
|
|
·
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
|
|
·
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
|
|
·
|
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
|
|
·
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income or other taxes or the cash requirements to make any tax payments; and
|
|
·
|
Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, thereby potentially limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
|
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of performance in compliance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and providing Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information.
Proforma Net Loss per Share
Net loss per share – basic and diluted for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was ($0.19) compared to ($0.17) for the comparable period in the prior year. This decrease was attributable to the changes described for the various reporting captions discussed above.
Proforma net loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.00 compared to ($0.04) for the comparable period in the prior year.
Proforma net loss per share is used by our Company’s management as an evaluation tool as it manages the business and is defined as net loss per share- basic and diluted adjusted for non-cash items including stock based compensation, amortization of intangibles and one time charges including acquisition costs and the costs associated with the public offering.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss per share – basic and diluted, which is our GAAP operating performance measure, to proforma net loss per share for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

The remaining operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $6,285,000 compared to $2,349,000 for the comparable period in the prior year, which primarily includes $1,772,000 of expenses related to the historical Sysorex business, one-time non-recurring charges of $1,813,000 related to the acquisitions of Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol for legal, accounting, due diligence, and financing expenses, $543,000 of legal, accounting, professional fees and other costs related to the public offering, and $884,000 of other non-cash stock based compensation that isn’t included as part of the acquisition costs. Operating expenses will increase for reporting and compliance costs now that we are a reporting company with the SEC.
Loss From Operations
Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $3,916,000 compared to $455,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. This increase of $3,461,000 was primarily attributable to the historical Sysorex business for the year ended December 31, 2013, which consisted of a loss from operations of $3,936,000 which was attributable to the non-cash and one-time expenses as discussed in the preceding paragraphs.
Other Expense
Other expense consisted primarily of interest expense and derivative liabilities. Such interest expense and derivative liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $804,000 compared to $332,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. This increase of $472,000 was attributable to $489,000 of non-cash change in the fair value of derivative liability for warrants issued and $86,000 in fees related to the closing of a prior credit facility and the borrowings under the Bridge Bank revolving line of credit in the amount of $4,200,000. The majority of those borrowings were used in connection with the acquisition of Lilien.
Provision for Income Taxes
The was no provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2013 as we were in a net loss position. Deferred tax assets resulting from such losses are fully reserved as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 since, at present we have no history of taxable income and it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.
Net Loss Attributable To Non-Controlling Interest
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $272,000 compared to $91,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. This increase in net loss of $181,000 was attributable to the loss incurred at Sysorex Arabia due to the conclusion of the MODA II contract in January 2013.
Net Loss Attributable To Stockholders of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp.
Net loss attributable to stockholders of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. for the year ended December 31, 2013 was a loss of $4,263,000 compared to $694,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. This increase of $3,569,000 was attributable to the changes described for the various reporting captions discussed above.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) - years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2013 was income of $569,000 compared to income of $83,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. Overall, Adjusted EBITDA compares favorably to the net loss attributable to stockholders of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. as described in the following paragraph.

As previously discussed, Lilien is an information technology company whose operations complement and significantly expand our current base of business and enable us to provide integrated solutions and services to both government and private organizations. Lilien generated revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 of approximately $49,754,000 and $40,571,000, respectively. We anticipate Lilien’s revenues will further increase in 2014 as we expect Lilien’s business to expand into Cloud based data analytic services and as they cross-sell company owned products such as AirPatrol's location-based technology. In that light, we expect Lilien’s gross profits and cash flows to increase during 2014.
We anticipate an increase in revenues and cash flows over the next 12 months as compared to historical periods as a result of additional revenues expected from task orders issued by the U.S. Navy in connection with the SPAWAR contract and the recent AirPatrol acquisition, as well as anticipated revenues expected to be received from the recently awarded U.S. Army PMSS-3 contract, subject to the resolution of the protests described above which have resulted in the suspension of task orders at the present time.
The non-cash expenses of $2,547,000 consisted of:
$
|
1,703,000
|
Depreciation expense and amortization of intangibles primarily attributable to the Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol operations, which were, acquired effective March 1, 2013, August 31, 2013 and April 16, 2014, respectively.

Investing Activities:
Net cash flows used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $8,604,000 and $1,891,000, respectively. The cash flows used in the six months ended June 30, 2014 were comprised of $194,000 purchase of property and equipment, $140,000 investment in capitalized software, and an investment of $8,466,000 in AirPatrol offset by $71,000 of cash acquired in connection with the AirPatrol acquisition and $125,000 from the redemption of marketable securities. Cash flows related to investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 were comprised of a $3,000,000 investment in Lilien and $3,000 purchase of property and equipment offset by $1,112,000 cash acquired in connection with the Lilien acquisition.
Financing Activities:
Net cash flows from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $16,972,000 and $4,905,000, respectively. The cash flows related to the six months ended June 30, 2014 were comprised primarily of $2,080,000 of net proceeds from the issuance of common stock to a strategic investor, $16,615,000 net proceeds from a capital raise after deduction of the related costs, $13,000 of net proceeds from employee options, offset by $1,241,000 of net repayments to the bank facility, $90,000 advance to a related party and $405,000 of repayments of notes and advances payable. The positive cash flows related to the six months ended June 30, 2013 were comprised primarily of $5,000,000 of advances from a credit facility and $332,000 of advances from a related party offset by $105,000 of repayments on convertible notes, $46,000 of repayments to factor and $276,000 of repayments to related parties and notes payable. Those funds were primarily utilized for the $3,000,000 investment in Lilien, the related acquisition costs of approximately $908,000 and for the repayment of notes payable and various balances due under other credit arrangements for approximately $276,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources - General:
Our current capital resources and operating results as of June 30, 2014, as described in the preceding paragraphs, consist of:
1) An overall working capital deficit of $8,129,000;
2) Cash of $4,933,000;
3) A revolving line of credit for up to $6,000,000 with a maturity date of April 16, 2016 of which $4,582,000 is utilized;
5) A term loan for $750,000 with a maturity date of August 27, 2015; and
6) Net cash used in operating activities year-to-date of $5,534,000.
We believe our total working capital deficit of $8,129,000 does not represent a severe impediment to our operations and growth when its principal components are separately identified and analyzed and the growth of our business is taken into account. The breakdown of our overall working capital deficit is as follows:

The AirPatrol acquisition earnout liability of $7,780,000 is the present value of the expected $10,000,000 earnout to be paid to the AirPatrol shareholders in 2015, of which half of the value earned shall be paid in stock and the other half in cash (unless otherwise agreed or required pursuant to the Merger Agreement). If AirPatrol’s Net Income meets or exceeds $3,500,000 in the five quarters ending March 31, 2015, the Company shall pay to the AirPatrol stockholders an earnout payment equal to (i) AirPatrol Net Income, divided by $5,000,000, times (ii) $10,000,000, provided that the total earnout payment shall not exceed $10,000,000. The cash generated from the AirPatrol profitability target is expected to fund the cash portion of the earnout liability.
Accounts receivable exceeds the related accounts payable by $3,551,000. We do not believe there are material collectability issues with respect to our accounts receivable. In accordance with industry practice, payments to major vendors included in our accounts payable are normally extended until the time the collection of the related sale is received. Deferred revenue exceeds the related prepaid contracts by $1,443,000 and other liabilities exceed other assets by $28,000. These deficits are expected to be funded by our anticipated cash flow from operations, as described below, over the next twelve months. The revolving line of credit and the current portion of the term loan total $5,082,000 as of June 30, 2014, which we believe will not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity in the next twelve months as the principal balance is not due until April 2016, more than twelve months from the current balance sheet date of June 30, 2014. Additionally, as described in the preceding paragraphs, the amount of this credit facility was increased to $6,000,000 in August 2013.
Year-to-date net cash used in operating activities of $5,534,000 consists of net cash used in operations of $739,000 (net loss of $3,286,000 less non-cash expenses of $2,547,000) and net cash used of $4,795,000 in changes in operating assets and liabilities. We expect net cash from operations during the rest of 2014 to be positive as:
1)
|
The Company received approximately $17.7 million in April 2014, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, in net proceeds from the sale of 3,166,666 shares in a public offering;
|
|
2)
|
The Company completed a $2 million private equity offering from a strategic investor in February 2014;
|
|
3)
|
Sysorex was awarded a $3 million contract of which $1.4 million in revenue is expected to be recognized in 2014;
|
|
4)
|
Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol complement and significantly expand our current base of business and enable us to provide integrated solutions and services to both government and private organizations globally. In that light, we anticipate increases in revenues and cash flows during 2014.
|
Consequently, we expect that our current capital resources as of June 30, 2014 and since then, as described in the preceding paragraphs, will be sufficient to fund planned operations during the next twelve months. We also expect that as our business expands, cash provided from operations will, over time, eliminate our working capital deficit and provide ongoing improvement in our long-term liquidity.
We have received approximately $17.7 million in equity financing in April 2014 which provided us the funding to close the AirPatrol Corporation acquisition and we may seek future equity financing to provide us with the capital necessary to continue pursuing the acquisition and expansion strategy that we launched with the acquisition of Lilien in March 2013 and, if necessary, to provide working capital to our current operations.
If we are unsuccessful in raising additional capital or obtaining alternative financing during 2014, we may have to postpone or abandon any future acquisitions and expansion plans. However, if our acquisition and expansion plans are required to be postponed or abandoned, we expect that it will have a limited effect on our liquidity or the ongoing operations of Sysorex, Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol as described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources - Bridge Bank Financing Agreement
On March 15, 2013 Sysorex Government Services, Inc. and Lilien Systems entered into a Business Finance Agreement (the “Agreement”) as co-borrowers (the “Borrowers”) with Bridge Bank, NA (the “Bank”) pursuant to which the Borrowers obtained a revolving line of credit for up to $5,000,000 with a maturity date of March 15, 2015.

Lilien Systems and Sysorex Government Services each entered into an intercreditor subordination agreement subordinating their right of payment to the Bank.
In addition, concurrent with the First Amendment, the Company entered into a term loan for $750,000 which accrues interest at the greater of 5.25% or the Bank’s prime rate plus 2% and matures on August 27, 2016. The Company is obligated to make payments of $41,667 on the first day of each month commencing on April 1, 2014 until the loan amount is paid in full.
The Bank also received (i) warrants to purchase 83,334 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $0.90 per share in connection with the Agreement on March 20, 2013, and (ii) warrants to purchase 56,250 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $2.40 per share in connection with the First Amendment on August 29, 2013.
On May 13, 2014 the Company entered into Amendment 2 to the Agreement in connection with the Company’s acquisition of AirPatrol effective as of April 16, 2014 to extend the revolving advances maturity date to April 16, 2016, defined the term advance maturity date as August 27, 2015, approved the acquisition of AirPatrol Corporation and waived any defaults by the Company of the Performance to Plan covenant since August 29, 2013 through the date of the amendment.
As of June 30, 2014, the principal amount outstanding under the Agreement was $4,581,691 and an additional $624,995 is outstanding under a term loan.

As previously discussed, Lilien is an information technology company whose operations complement and significantly expand our current base of business and enables us to provide integrated consulting and implementation solutions and services to government and private organizations in the United States. In that light, we expect significant increases in Lilien’s revenues, profits, and cash flows during 2014. Cash flows related to operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2012 were, in comparison, minimal and consisted of normal operating activities.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities (2012-2013)
Net cash flows related to investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $1,131,000 and ($4,000), respectively. The cash flows related to the year ended December 31, 2013 was comprised of a $3,000,000 investment in Lilien and a $1,000,000 loan to AirPatrol offset by $1,112,000 in cash acquired in connection with the Lilien acquisition, $3,668,000 of cash acquired in connection with the Shoom Acquisition and $486,000 from the redemption of marketable securities. Cash flows related to investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2012 were minimal.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities (2012-2013)
Net cash flows from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were approximately a positive $3,692,000 and $259,000, respectively. The positive cash flows related to the year ended December 31, 2013 was comprised primarily of $6,448,000 of advances from a credit facility. Those funds were primarily utilized for the $3,000,000 investment in Lilien, $1,000,000 loan to AirPatrol, Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol acquisition costs of approximately $1,813,000, and $472,000 of repayments of notes, balances due under other credit arrangements and advances from related parties. $1,985,000 was paid to the Shoom shareholders as part of the acquisition purchase price which was included as a note payable on the balance sheet. Cash flows related to financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2012 were, in comparison, minimal and consisted of advances of approximately $568,000 from Duroob Technology, Inc. (“Duroob”). The owners and management of Duroob own slightly less than 50% of our subsidiary operating in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, Duroob made such advances to the Company to support those operations while we pursued the acquisition and expansion strategy described in the preceding paragraphs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources as of December 31, 2013
Our current capital resources and operating results as of and through December 31, 2013, as described in the preceding paragraphs, consist of:
1)
|
An overall working capital deficit of $7,852,000;
|
|
|
2)
|
Cash of $2,104,000;
|
|
3)
|
Marketable securities of $125,000;
|
|
4)
|
A revolving line of credit for up to $6,000,000 with a maturity date of March 15, 2015 of which $5,698,000 is utilized;
|
|
5)
|
A term loan for $750,000 with a maturity date of August 27, 2016; and
|
|
6)
|
Net cash used in operating activities year-to-date of $2,728,000.
|
We believe our total working capital deficit of $7,852,000 does not represent a severe impediment to our operations and growth when its principal components are separately identified and analyzed and the growth of our business is taken into account. The breakdown of our overall working capital deficit is as follows:

Accounts receivable exceeds the related accounts payable by $1,146,000. We do not believe there are material collectability issues with respect to our accounts receivable. In accordance with industry practice, payments to major vendors included in our accounts payable are normally extended until the time the collection of the related sale is received. Deferred revenue exceeds the related prepaid contracts by $1,282,000 and other liabilities exceed other assets by $1,574,000. These deficits are expected to be funded by our anticipated cash flow from operations, as described below, over the next twelve months. The revolving line of credit and the current portion of the term loan total $6,156,000 as of December 31, 2013, which we believe will not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity in the next twelve months as the principal balance is not due until March 2015, fifteen months from the current balance sheet date of December 31, 2013. Additionally, as described in the preceding paragraphs, the amount of this credit facility was increased to $6,000,000 in August 2013.
Net cash used in operating activities year-to-date of $2,728,000 consists of net cash used in operations of $1,596,000 (net loss of $4,535,000 less non-cash expenses of $2,939,000) and net cash used of $1,132,000 in changes in operating assets and liabilities. We expect net cash from operations during 2014 to be positive as:
1)
|
Sysorex was awarded a $3 million contract of which $1.4 million in revenue is expected to be recognized in 2014;
|
|
2)
|
Lilien and Shoom complement and significantly expand our current base of business and enables us to provide integrated consulting and implementation solutions and services to both government and private organizations in the United States. In that light, we anticipate increases in revenues and cash flows during 2014; and
|
|
3)
|
We concluded the acquisition of Shoom, Inc. (“Shoom”), a company with operations compatible to both Sysorex and Lilien, effective August 31, 2013 through the issuance of shares of Sysorex common stock. The acquisition provided us with:
|
a)
|
Positive working capital of approximately $4,073,000 which consisted almost exclusively of cash; and
|
|
|
b)
|
A business that benefits from high margins and generates approximately $1,000,000 positive cash flow on an annual basis.
|
The Company completed a $2 million private equity offering from a strategic investor in February 2014. Consequently, we expect that our current capital resources as of December 31, 2013 and since then, as described in the preceding paragraphs, will be sufficient to fund planned operations during the next twelve months. We also expect that as our business expands, cash provided from operations will, over time, eliminate our working capital deficit and provide ongoing improvement in our long-term liquidity.
We have been actively pursuing equity financing to provide us with capital necessary to continue pursuing the acquisition and expansion strategy that we launched with the acquisition of Lilien in March 2013 and, if necessary, to provide working capital to our current operations. Following completion of our initial public offering on April 9, 2014, which raised net proceeds of $17.7 million, we expect to have sufficient funds to continue this acquisition and expansion strategy. Such strategy would include the requisite funding to close and integrate the business operations of AirPatrol. While the Company does not expect that AirPatrol will require additional capital from the Company following the acquisition other than the consideration received in the acquisition, there can be no assurance that AirPatrol will be successful in its efforts and it may require additional unanticipated funding from the Company which may have an adverse effect on the Company and its operations. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional capital through this offering or obtaining alternative financing during 2014, we may have to postpone or abandon our acquisition and expansion plans. However, if our acquisition and expansion plans are required to be postponed or abandoned, we expect that it will have a limited effect on our liquidity or the ongoing operations of Sysorex, Lilien or Shoom as described above.
Bridge Bank Financing Agreement
Reference is made to the March 15, 2013 Business Finance Agreement by and among Lilien, Sysorex Government Services, Inc., Lilien Systems, and Sysorex Global Holdings, Inc. as co-Borrowers (the “Borrowers”) with Bridge Bank, NA (the “Bank”) under which the Borrowers obtained a revolving line of credit for up to $5,000,000 with a maturity date of March 15, 2015.
On March 20, 2013, the Borrowers received $4,175,000 under this Agreement. Of that amount, $3,000,000 was paid as consideration in connection with the Lilien acquisition effective March 1, 2013. The balance of $1,175,000 was primarily utilized for acquisition program related expenses totaling $594,000 and reduction of debt and accrued expenses totaling $467,000. As of March 31, 2014, the principal amount outstanding under the Agreement was $5,274,473 and an additional $750,000 is outstanding under a term loan.
As noted above, on August 29, 2013 the parties amended the Agreement in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Shoom, which modified certain sections, waived existing defaults, and increased the credit limit to $6,000,000. Additionally and concurrently with the Amendment the Company entered into a term loan for $750,000 which accrues interest at the greater of 5.25% or the Bank’s prime rate plus 2% and matures on August 27, 2016. The Company is obligated to make payments of $41,667 on the first day of each month commencing on February 1, 2014 until the loan amount is paid in full. Also as noted above the Bank received (i) warrants to purchase 83,334 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $0.90 per share in connection with the Agreement on March 20, 2013, and (ii) warrants to purchase 56,250 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $2.40 per share in connection with the Amendment on August 29, 2013.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Overview
The following organizational chart sets forth the five subsidiaries of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. and the lines of business in which they are engaged, as described below:
Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. (“Sysorex” or the “Company”), provides information technology and telecommunications solutions and services to commercial and government customers primarily in the United States. We provide a variety of IT services and/or technologies that enable customers to manage, protect and monetize their enterprise assets whether on-premise, in the Cloud, or via mobile. Sysorex is a systems integration and consulting company and has a wide range of offerings, including, but not limited to: custom application/software design, architecture and development, data center design and operations services, command control, computer communication, intelligence (C4I) system consulting, program management and security solutions and services. Sysorex is currently engaged in an acquisition strategy to add cutting edge technologies and intellectual property that complement its service offerings. The targeted technologies typically include software and/or hardware products providing cyber security, and Big Data/Analytics capabilities on premise, in the Cloud or on a mobile device. Cyber security and Big Data Analytics are expected to be our primary focus going forward.
Effective March 1, 2013, the Company acquired Lilien Systems (“Lilien” and the “Lilien Acquisition”) based in Larkspur, California, an information technology company, which significantly expanded the Company’s operations in the fields described above. Lilien delivers right-fit information technology solutions that help organizations reach their next level of business advantage. Lilien brings unsurpassed commitment, a highly qualified and educated staff with deep technical expertise, premier technology certifications, key manufacturer partnerships, and business vision to its solutions, enterprise computing and storage, virtualization, business continuity, networking and IT business consulting. See “Business - The Lilien Acquisition” below.
Effective August 31, 2013, the Company acquired Shoom, Inc. (“Shoom”) based in Encino, California, a leading provider of Cloud based data analytics and enterprise solutions to the media, publishing and entertainment industries. Shoom specializes in providing comprehensive and integrated Internet/intranet based information services and electronic delivery systems to its expanding client base. Shoom liberates publishers and advertisers from cumbersome legacy and hard-copy systems with software-as-a-service (SaaS) products including eTearSheets, eInvoice, Ad Delivery and ePaper electronic publication solutions while generating critical data analytics for its customers. Shoom expands Sysorex’s depth of enterprise service offerings with powerful Cloud–based solutions. Shoom's customers can now take advantage of Lilien's Big Data expertise and advanced analytics, while Sysorex and Lilien will leverage Shoom's talent pool of expert Cloud solution engineers. Based on management’s due diligence investigation of Shoom, the Company expects Shoom to generate approximately $4 million in revenues with a retention rate of approximately 90% (consistent with the last five years), and 25% net income in 2014 and a 10% annual growth rate thereafter exclusive of the benefits of leveraging synergies with Sysorex.
Effective April 18, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of AirPatrol Corporation (“AirPatrol”), a company in the mobile cyber-security and location-based services space with leading-edge solutions and proprietary intellectual property.
Based on the audited financial statements included in this prospectus, management’s assessment of potential revenue that could be earned by AirPatrol, as well as management’s assessment of location-based services market opportunities, AirPatrol is expected to generate additional revenue and income for Sysorex in 2014 and 2015. This is based on AirPatrol’s projections for which our management and AirPatrol believes there is a reasonable basis, however, there is no guarantee that AirPatrol will meet financial targets. AirPatrol’s customer base largely consists of government agencies and could be effected by government delays and shut downs.
The Company entered into a Master Service Agreement (the “MSA”) on February 24, 2014, with Geneseo Communications Inc. d/b/a ColoHub. The MSA is for a five year term, with automatic renewals, which provides the terms and conditions for the Company to purchase certain telecommunications and related infrastructure services from ColoHub, initially for its use and subsequently for resale to the Company’s customers. The Company has leased 1,000 square feet of space from Geneseo at $17,500 per month commencing April 1, 2014. The Company initially intends to private label Geneseo services and data center space for Lilien and Sysorex customers.
Management intends to accelerate introduction of the acquired technology and products of Lilien and Shoom, as well as any future acquisitions, by offering them through its U.S. Federal government contracts by adding their solutions and services to its GSA schedule and other relevant contract vehicles where Sysorex is the prime contractor. Sysorex expects to leverage Lilien’s sales force and customer base with any future acquisition as and when appropriate.
Corporate Strategy
Sysorex management has a mergers and acquisitions strategy to acquire companies and innovative technologies servicing the multi-billion dollar IT services industry. We have targeted services and technology/IP based companies since management believes they add value to the Company and may allow us to command a higher sales price should there be a sale or a spinoff. Sysorex plans to facilitate and manage cross-selling opportunities among the companies and provide shared corporate services to create efficiencies and be cost effective. We are seeking opportunities with the following profiles:
Innovative and commercially proven technologies primarily in cyber-security, business intelligence/analytics, Big Data services, Cloud and mobile/BYOD.
Commercial and government IT service companies which have an established customer base and are seeking growth capital to expand their capabilities, product offerings and substantially increase their revenues and operating profits.
Companies with profitable, proven technologies that are complementary to the Company’s overall strategy. We are looking at companies primarily in the United States. However, we may expand our search into other geographies such as India, Europe and others, if there are significant strategic and financial reasons to do so.
An important element of our mergers and acquisitions strategy is to acquire companies with complementary capabilities/technologies and an established customer base in each of the above categories. We believe that the customer base of each potential acquisition will present an opportunity to cross-sell solutions to the customer base of other acquired companies. For example, when we acquire a company that primarily specializes in BYOD cyber security, we will be in a position to market this solution to both Sysorex’s public sector government clients and Lilien’s private sector clients.
Another important criterion is an acquisition candidate’s contract backlog. This is one of the most important benefits of having public sector clients. These customers provide very large multi-year contracts that can provide secure revenue visibility typically for three to five years. Based on management’s experience, we understand government contracting very well and have built a core competency in bidding on government requests for proposals. We are actively seeking companies that have built a backlog with various government agencies that can complement Sysorex’s existing contracts.
We intend to acquire innovative technologies and established, reputable IT services companies, using restricted common stock, cash and debt financing in combinations appropriate for each potential acquisition.
Industry Overview
Worldwide, companies and organizations are expected to spend a combined $3.8 trillion on hardware, software, IT services and telecommunications in 2014 with an approximate 3.1% growth rate over the next five years (Source: Gartner, Inc. January 06, 2014 press release).
The U.S. Government spends approximately $80 billion in IT annually and this level of spending is expected to continue at a 3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), compared with 6% historically in the first decade of the 21st Century (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018). Security of all forms, especially cyber-security, are significant growth areas, and Sysorex intends to increase its role in this sector (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal Cyber-Security Market Forecast 2013-2018 dated April 12, 2013). The focus is on deployment of technologies that proved their worth in the private sector. The technology segments like business intelligence, cloud computing, eDiscovery, GIS and geospatial, non-relational database management systems, smart grid, SOA, unified communications and virtualization are expected to have double digit growth in the period 2013 – 2018 (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018). The total annual U.S. Federal IT market is expected to surpass $93 billion by 2018 (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018).
The Company’s headquarters offices are located at 3375 Scott Boulevard, Suite 440, Santa Clara, California 95054. Our telephone number is (408) 702-2167. The Company’s subsidiaries maintain offices in Herndon Virginia, Larkspur California, Encino California and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Corporate Structure
Sysorex has five operating subsidiaries: (i) Sysorex Federal, Inc. (100% ownership) and its wholly owned subsidiary Sysorex Government Services, Inc. based in Herndon, Virginia, which focuses on the U.S. Federal Government market; (ii) Lilien Systems (100% ownership) based in Larkspur, California; (iii) Shoom, Inc. (100% ownership) based in Encino, California, (iv) AirPatrol Corporation (100% ownership) based in Maple Lawn Maryland, and (v) Sysorex Arabia LLC (50.2% ownership) based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Mr. Nadir Ali is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of Sysorex and the five Sysorex subsidiaries. Geoffrey Lilien is the CEO of Lilien Systems, William Freschi is the CEO of Shoom, and Cleve Adams is the CEO of AirPatrol. Future acquisitions may be operated as separate business units or merged into one of the existing subsidiaries depending on its business focus.
Although the subsidiaries operate independently, they work in concert to cross sell and leverage each other’s capabilities, technologies and customer base. Sysorex provides shared corporate services across the entities. We believe that the implementation and execution of our corporate strategy will benefit our shareholders and attract investors.
Corporate History
The Company was formed in Nevada in April 1999, under the name Liquidation Bid, Inc. It changed its name to Softlead, Inc. on September 9, 2003.
On March 2, 2011 by a majority vote of shareholders at a special meeting, the Company elected to change its name to Sysorex Global Holdings, Corp.; effect a 1-for-20 reverse split of its stock; and acquire the Sysorex operational businesses. On June 2, 2011, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse split and changed its name to Sysorex Global Holdings Corp.
On July 29, 2011, the Company acquired all of the stock of the U.S. Federal Government business of Sysorex (Sysorex Federal, Inc. and its subsidiary Sysorex Government Services, Inc.) and 50.2% of the stock of the operating unit of Sysorex engaged in Saudi Arabian Government contracts (Sysorex Arabia, LLC). The acquisition was based on a share exchange, with Sysorex shareholders being issued 14,600,000 restricted common shares of the Company in exchange for stock of the three operating entities.
The Company recapitalized itself by amending its Articles of Incorporation on August 3, 2011 and increased its authorized common stock to 30,000,000 common shares, with a par value $0.001 per share. On September 1, 2011, the Board of Directors and the majority shareholders authorized the increase of the authorized shares from 30,000,000 to 40,000,000; however, the filing of the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation was not filed with the State of Nevada until April, 2012.
Effective March 20, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of Lilien LLC.
Effective August 23, 2013, the Board of Directors and the majority shareholders authorized the increase of the authorized common shares from 40,000,000 to 50,000,000.
Effective August 31, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Shoom Inc.
Effective December 6, 2013, our Board of Directors and stockholders holding a majority of our outstanding voting power approved a resolution authorizing our Board of Directors to effect a reverse split of our common stock at an exchange ratio of one-for-two with our Board of Directors retaining the discretion as to whether to implement the reverse split and adjust the ratio immediately following the effectiveness of the registration statement we filed on October 19, 2013.
On April 9, 2014, the Company consummated its initial public offering of 3,166,666 shares of common stock, which raised net proceeds of approximately $17.7 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions. Simultaneously the Company listed its common stock for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Effective April 18, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of AirPatrol Corporation.

Sysorex Government Services Contracts
Sysorex Government Services, Inc. enters into various types of contracts with our customers, such as Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Level of Effort (LOE), Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Completion, Cost-reimbursement (CR), Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), Fixed-Price Incentive (FPI) and Time-and-materials (T&M).
IDIQ contracts provide for an indefinite quantity of services or stated limits of supplies for a fixed period. They are used when the customer cannot determine, above a specified minimum, the precise quantities of supplies or services that the government will require during the contract period. IDIQs help streamline the contract process and speed service delivery. IDIQ contracts are most often used for service contracts and architect-engineering services. Awards are usually for base years and option years. The customer places delivery orders (for supplies) or task orders (for services) against a basic contract for individual requirements. Minimum and maximum quantity limits are specified in the basic contract as either a number of units (for supplies) or as dollar values (for services).
CPFF LOE contracts will be issued when the scope of work is defined in general terms requiring only that the contractor devote a specified LOE for a stated time period. A CPFF completion contract will be issued when the scope of work defines a definite goal or target which leads to an end product deliverable (e.g., a final report of research accomplishing the goal or target).
CR contracts provide for payment of allowable incurred costs, to the extent prescribed in the contract. These contracts establish an estimate of total cost for the purpose of obligating funds and establishing a ceiling that the contractor may not exceed (except at its own risk) without the approval of the contracting officer and are suitable for use only when uncertainties involved in contract performance do not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed-price contract.
FFP contracts will be issued when acquiring supplies or services on the basis of definite or detailed specifications and fair and reasonable prices can be established at the outset.
FPI target delivery contracts will be issued when acquiring supplies or services on the basis of reasonably definite or detailed specifications and cost can be reasonably predicted at the outset wherein the cost risk will be shared. A firm target cost, target profit, and profit adjustment formula will be negotiated to provide a fair and reasonable incentive and a ceiling that provides for the contractor to assume an appropriate share of the risk.
T&M contracts provide for acquiring supplies or services on the basis of (1) direct labor hours at specified fixed hourly rates that include wages, overhead, general and administrative expenses, and profit; and (2) actual cost for materials. A customer may use this contract when it is not possible at the time of placing the contract to estimate accurately the extent or duration of the work or to anticipate costs with any reasonable degree of confidence.

We believe Lilien enjoys a leadership position among solution providers in the Western United States. Lilien holds premier partner status with many of its technology partners as a result of its commitment to solution training, its business orientation and its performance. In addition, Lilien is regularly recognized by the industry as a top Solution Integrator/VAR and was recently named to CRN’s inaugural Tech Elite 250 which recognizes the top IT organizations in the U.S.
The Lilien Acquisition
The purchase price for Lilien, under the Asset Purchase and Merger Agreement (the “APMA”), effective March 1, 2013 was $9,000,000. This consisted of the payment of $3,000,000 of cash and the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of Sysorex deemed to have a fair value of $6,000,000, or $2.00 per share to the members of Lilien, LLC (the “Former Lilien Members”) in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of Lilien Systems, Inc. The cash consideration of $3,000,000 was obtained by the Company under a credit facility entered into for the purpose of completing the acquisition. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” All of the Company’s 3,000,000 shares issued in the Lilien Systems Acquisition (collectively, the “Company Shares”) are subject to Lock-up/Leak-out and Guaranty Agreements. All of the Lilien Systems, Inc. stockholders, including Geoffrey Lilien, who continued as CEO of Lilien, Bret Osborn, President of Lilien and Dhruv Gulati, EVP of Lilien (the “Lilien Stockholders”) cannot sell any of their Company Shares for a six-month period beginning on April 8, 2014. The Company contingently guaranteed (the “Guaranty”) to the Former Lilien Members the net sales price of $2.00 per share (as adjusted) for a two year period following the closing, provided the Lilien Stockholders are in compliance with the terms and conditions of the lock-up agreement. At the end of the two-year Guaranty period the Former Lilien Members shall have an option to put all, but not less than all, of their unsold Sysorex shares to Sysorex, for the price of $2.00 per unsold share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the gross profit for calendar 2013 and 2014, attributable to the Lilien business is more than 20% below what was forecasted to the Company the Guaranty will be proportionately reduced.
Under the APMA, the Former Lilien Members were entitled to any excess cash above $1,000,000, provided both Lilien’s net worth immediately preceding the closing was greater than $1,000,000 and its net worth less excess cash of at least $1,000,000 was greater than $1,000,000. As a result of a post-closing adjustment, Lilien’s net worth was less than $1,000,000 and the former Lilien Members refunded $153,000 to the Company, subject to further adjustment.
Upon the completion of the Lilien Acquisition, Geoffrey Lilien, Bret Osborn and Dhruv Gulatui were elected to the Company’s then existing Board of Directors of three persons.
Shoom Products and Services
On September 6, 2013, Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. completed the acquisition, effective August 31, 2013, of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Shoom, Inc. Shoom was founded in 1998 and is based in Encino, California. Management believes based on its knowledge of the industry that Shoom is a leading provider of cloud based data analytics and enterprise solutions to the media, publishing and entertainment industries with over 700 active publications in North America. Shoom specializes in providing comprehensive and integrated Internet/intranet based information services and electronic delivery systems to its expanding client base around the world. Shoom liberates publishers and advertisers from cumbersome legacy and hard-copy systems with software-as-a-service (SaaS) products including eTearSheets, eInvoice, Ad Delivery and ePaper electronic publication solutions while generating critical data analytics for its customers. Shoom’s software-as-a-service contracts are typically performed for periods of one or more years and Shoom has a high customer retention rate. Shoom offers eSolutions including eTearsheets, invoicing, CRM, and other products and services to 750 newspapers in the cloud.
Cloud or SaaS based analytics is a growing market that Sysorex intends to pursue beyond the media vertical that Shoom is in today. According to industry sources, cloud based business analytics and business intelligence is expected to grow from $5.2 billion in 2013 to $16.52 billion in 2018 a 25.8% CAGR (Source: PRWeb Article - Cloud Analytics Market is Growing at an Estimated CAGR of 25.8% & to Reach $16.52 Billion by 2018 - New Report by MarketsandMarkets April 2, 2013.) Shoom has been in business for over 10 years and providing its Cloud solutions for over 4 years. As of April 30, 2014, Shoom has 20 employees and is located at 6345 Balboa Blvd., Suite 247, Encino, CA 91316.
The Shoom Acquisition
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 31, 2013, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sysorex was merged with and into Shoom which continued its existence as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sysorex. Sysorex issued approximately 1,381,000 shares of its common stock to the former shareholders of Shoom, plus their pro rata share of $2,500,000 cash consideration, subject to adjustment based on the Net Worth (as defined in the Agreement of Plan and Merger) of Shoom as of August 31, 2013 compared with $6,038,020, the net worth of Shoom on July 31, 2013. Of this amount, approximately 250,000 shares of Sysorex common stock, plus approximately $500,000 of the cash consideration is being held in escrow for the benefit of the former Shoom stockholders, pro rata, for one year based on any claim for indemnification, other than tax matters for which there is a seven-year escrow. All of the Company’s 1,381,000 shares issued in the Shoom Acquisition are restricted and subject to lock-up agreements during which they cannot sell any shares for a six-month period beginning on April 8, 2014. In addition, the Company issued stock options to Shoom employees to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Sysorex common stock. William Freschi (CEO/CFO), Dan Cole (President/COO), Michael Lynch (Executive VP/GM) and Sharon Ryoji (Senior VP Customer Services) each entered into employment agreements with Shoom upon the completion of the acquisition.
AirPatrol Products and Services
AirPatrol develops indoor device locationing, monitoring and management technologies for mobile devices operating on WiFi, cellular and wideband RF networks. AirPatrol has two product lines. The first is a mobile security platform that locates devices operating within a monitored area, determines their compliance with network security policies for that zone, and then can trigger policy modification of device apps and/or features - either directly or via leading third party mobile device, application and network management tools. AirPatrol’s other product is a commercial platform for enabling location and/or context-based services and information delivery to mobile devices based on zones as small as 10 feet or as large as a square mile. The monitored areas may include a building, a campus, a mall, and outdoor regions like a downtown. Unlike other mobile locationing technologies, AirPatrol technologies use passive sensors that work over both cellular and WiFi networks and offer device locationing and zone-based app and information delivery accurate to within 10 feet - three to five times more precise than the industry standard. Additionally, unlike geo-fencing systems, AirPatrol technologies are capable of simultaneously enabling different policies and delivering different apps or information to multiple devices within the same zone based on contexts such as the type of device, the device user and time of day.
AirPatrol’s products and technologies deliver solutions to address an exploding global location-based mobile security and services (LBS) market currently estimated to be more than $12 billion in 2014, growing at a fast rate (Jupiter Research, 2013). AirPatrol has 15 patents currently pending in the areas of context-aware policy management, RF detection, cellular monitoring, end node network applications for mobile devices and related technologies. Customers for the security platforms are big box retailers, healthcare facilities, property managers (malls, shopping centers, etc.), hotels and resorts, gaming operators and government agencies. This platform requires no app installation for anonymous collection of behavioral data such as traffic flow, entry and exit patterns, length of stay and other business intelligence and analytics functions. It also serves as location-based services, sales and marketing system. In these cases, the security platform connects to third party apps on a user’s mobile device that provide functions such as location-based offers, discounts and suggestive selling, VIP service functions (for hotels, resorts, casinos, etc.), and location-based information delivery such as mobile-based guided tours of historic sites, points of interest and museums, shopping center maps, building floor plans and so on.
The AirPatrol Acquisition
On December 20, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), as amended on February 28, 2014, to acquire 100% of the capital stock of AirPatrol, a company in the mobile cyber-security and location-based services space with leading-edge solutions and proprietary intellectual property, for a purchase price equal to (a) $10,000,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments, allocated to and among certain creditors, payees and holders of AirPatrol’s issued and outstanding capital stock and (b) 2,000,000 shares of Company common stock, of which 800,000 shall be held in escrow for one year, as security to satisfy any indemnity claims that may be owed by the AirPatrol shareholders to the Company (the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration includes an earnout, half of the value of which shall be in stock and the other half in cash (unless otherwise agreed or required pursuant to the Merger Agreement) payable to the shareholders of AirPatrol in 2015 in accordance with the following formula: if for the five quarter period ending March 31, 2015, AirPatrol Net Income (as defined in the Merger Agreement) meets or exceeds $3,500,000, the Company shall pay to the AirPatrol shareholders an earnout payment equal to (i) AirPatrol Net Income, divided by $5,000,000, times (ii) $10,000,000, provided that the total earnout payment shall not exceed $10,000,000. The closing of the Merger is conditioned upon the closing of this Offering and certain other customary conditions. The Company can give no assurance that the terms and conditions will be met and the transaction will close.
On April 18, 2014, the Company consummated the AirPatrol Acquisition, and on the closing date paid adjusted Merger Consideration of $8,466,258 in cash, and 2,642,808 shares of common stock (800,000 shares of which were deposited into a holdback escrow for indemnity purposes).
On May 30, 2014 the Company and AirPatrol entered into a Waiver and Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (this “Amendment”) which was a post-closing waiver and amendment to the Merger Agreement. The fees of Shareholder Representative Services LLC (“Representative”) were inadvertently not paid by AirPatrol, and not reflected as an AirPatrol merger expense at the time of closing. Upon execution and delivery of the Amendment, the Company paid $37,500, representing the total amount of the engagement fee owed to the Representative and the Representative, on behalf of the AirPatrol Shareholders, agreed that the number of holdback shares to be released and distributed to the AirPatrol Shareholders shall be reduced by 7,500. Such reduction in the holdback shares shall constitute full and final satisfaction of this claim.
Based on the audited financial statements included in this prospectus, management’s assessment of potential revenue that could be earned by AirPatrol, as well as management’s assessment of location based services market opportunities, AirPatrol is expected to generate additional revenue and income for Sysorex in 2014 and 2015.
Market Size
Worldwide, companies and organizations are expected to spend a combined $3.8 trillion on hardware, software, IT services and telecommunications in 2014 (Source: Gartner, Inc. January 2014 Forecast.)
Spending on devices — smartphones, tablets and printers — has grown rapidly, and is expected to continue to grow according to Gartner Inc. Last year, spending on devices was $665 billion globally, and is expected to reach $718 billion this year, or 8 percent more (Source: All Things D Article, “Gartner Raises 2013 IT Spending Forecasts to $318 Trillion,” by Arik Hesseldahl, March 28, 2013).
Spending on enterprise software is running a close second, and is expected to grow this year by more than 6 percent to $297 billion. In this sector, a slowdown in IT operations management software is being offset by growth in spending on database management systems (Source: All Things D Article, “Gartner Raises 2013 IT Spending Forecasts to $318 Trillion,” by Arik Hesseldahl, March 28, 2013).
IT services and data center systems are also expected to grow this year, but a bit more slowly than in the previous forecast. Spending is coming down in the near-term on external storage and in Europe. IT services are subject to intense price competition and redirection of budgets away from new consulting projects (Source: All Things D Article, “Gartner Raises 2013 IT Spending Forecasts to $318 Trillion,” by Arik Hesseldahl, March 28, 2013).
The slowest-growing segment according to Gartner, Inc. is expected to be telecom services, which declined last year. Gartner, Inc. has stated that one television sector will generate approximately $1.7 trillion in revenue, up about 2 percent from last year. Declines in spending on voice are being offset by mobile data (Source: All Things D Article, “Gartner Raises 2013 IT Spending Forecasts to $318 Trillion,” by Arik Hesseldahl, March 28, 2013).
Government IT Services and Solutions Market
The U.S. government spends approximately $80 billion on IT annually. This spending is expected to continue at a 3% growth rate vs. 6% historically because of the impact of last years sequester. (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018.) Security of all forms, especially cyber-security, are significant growth areas (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal Cyber Security Market Forecast 2013-2018 and Sysorex intends to increase its role in this sector. Sysorex Government Services, Inc. (“SGS”) is servicing U.S. Government customers in both civilian and defense agencies. SGS provides a variety of IT solutions and services through its various government contract vehicles including our GSA Schedule, SPAWAR, TEIS-III, SITE, and others. SGS serves as a prime and subcontractor depending on the contract. SGS is also well positioned to win foreign military sales contracts leveraging the Sysorex Group presence overseas.
With a cumulative market valued at $518 billion (2013–2018), the U.S. Federal IT market is expected to grow steadily – at about 3% CAGR over the period 2013–2018. The projected growth rate of 3% is less than the historical average of 6% in the first decade of 21st century, reflecting not only the struggling economy and budget pressures, but also confidence in better performing government IT at lower costs. (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018).
Our focus is on deployment of technologies with proven worth in the private sector. Technology segments like business intelligence, Cloud computing, eDiscovery, GIS and geospatial, non-relational database management systems, Smart Grid, SOA, unified communications and virtualization are expected to experience double digit growth in the period from 2013 to 2018 (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018). The total annual U.S. Federal IT market is expected to surpass $93 billion by 2018 (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018.)
Despite sequestration, the U.S. government is still expanding its cyber security force. (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal Cyber Security Market Forecast 2013-2018.). In our opinion, the Government IT market is expected to continue to grow under the Obama Administration as funds shift from Defense to Civilian Agencies and the Government tries to create jobs and opportunities for businesses like Sysorex. Many Government agencies continue to struggle with:
·
|
Standalone applications/technology silos
|
|
·
|
Interoperability issues
|
|
·
|
Information sharing challenges
|
·
|
Cyber-security challenges
|
|
·
|
A critical lack of internal IT skills and resources
|
|
·
|
Fast evolving technology is making it difficult for government employees to stay current
|
|
·
|
Government is outsourcing civilian positions under the A-76 Rule
|
|
·
|
Government cannot successfully attract and maintain required technical staff for critical systems development
|
|
·
|
The on-going war on terrorism, Iraq and Afghanistan and homeland security requirements have forced the Government to expedite critical system deployments. This is expected to continue despite the focused shift to civilian agencies
|
|
·
|
The larger established integrators often move too slowly, miss many smaller critical pilot opportunities and have rigid structures that inhibit innovation.
|
Sysorex expects to provide a variety of systems integration services to many Government agencies. Many of our target clients have specialized systems that need to be modernized, integrated or connected to the Cloud, all with proper security infrastructure. Government customers are also looking to create more efficient systems to deploy green IT pursuant to Government guidelines. This could be LEED certification by “greening” federal buildings or simply improving energy utilization from large complex systems by using cutting edge IT and alternative energy technologies.
Cyber Security
“Federal agencies have spent more on cyber security than the entire GDP of North Korea, who some have speculated is to be involved with some of this cyber-attacks,” said Senator Thomas. L. Carper. “The issue of Cyber Warfare is not science fiction anymore. It’s reality” (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal Cyber Security Market Forecast 2013-2018.)
The short- to long-term federal cyber security investments are expected to be driven by:
·
|
an ever-increasing number and severity of cyber-attacks,
|
|
·
|
dramatic expansion in computer interconnectivity and the exponential increase in the data flows and computing power of the government networks;
|
|
·
|
perception of the U.S. adversaries that the United States is dependent on information technology and that this dependency constitutes an exploitable weakness; and
|
|
·
|
developments in the existing cyber security approaches and technologies and emergence of new technologies and approaches.
|
With a cumulative market valued at $65.5 billion (2013–2018), the U.S. Federal Cyber security market is expected to grow steadily–at about 6.2% CAGR over the next six years (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal Cyber Security Market Forecast 2013-2018).
Cloud Services
Spending on public Cloud services is expected to increase 20 percent, to $109 billion in 2012 from $91 billion in 2011. By 2016, Gartner said, this expenditure could nearly double, to $207 billion (Source: Gartner, Inc. March 2013 Forecast Press Release dated July 9, 2012 “Gartner Says Worldwide IT Spending on Pace to Surpass $3.6 Trillion in 2012”).
Big Data/Analytics
The volume, velocity and variety of Big Data can be overwhelming to IT organizations and their leaders. Gartner predicts that by 2015, Big Data demand will reach 4.4 million jobs. While this provides many opportunities to collect, manage and deploy data, we believe that a well thought out strategy is needed. According to a recent Gartner Survey (“Predicts 2013: Information Innovation” and published in “Invest in Information and Analytics to Benefit from Big Data” document dated March 8, 2013), 42% of respondents stated they had invested in Big Data technology or were planning to do so within a year.
Gartner predicts that by 2015, 20% of Global 1000 organizations will have established a strategic focus on information infrastructure equal to that of application management. This is one of five Gartner predictions about Big Data and information infrastructure discussed in “Predicts 2013: Big Data and Information Infrastructure;” a November 30, 2012 report that describes in detail how the Big Data phenomenon will affect organizations, resources and information infrastructure.
“Big Data Adoption in the Logical Data Warehouse” by Gartner dated February 7, 2013, reports on the results of a Gartner study about Big Data. For example, over 40% of all organizations plan on using the data warehouse and data integration practices.
Mobile/BYOD
The mobile software and services capabilities are a market that is predicted by McKinsey & Co. to reach $130 billion in revenue by 2015 (Source: Article from FierceMobileIT dated, November 9, 2012). According to Forrester Research statistics provided by IBM, mobile spending is predicted to reach $1.3 trillion by 2016. In addition, there are expected to be 200 million employees bringing their mobile devices to work by 2016. (Source: Article from FierceMobileIT dated, November 9, 2012).
Sales and Marketing
Sysorex has built a core competency in bidding on government requests for proposals. It utilizes its internal bid and proposal team as well as consultants to prepare the proposal responses for Government clients. Sysorex also uses business development, sales and account management employees or consultants and expects to increase these departments as the Company grows.
Lilien Systems utilizes direct marketing through approximately 20 outside and inside sales representatives, who are compensated with a base salary and commission, and relationships with customers and channel partners to generate new projects. Lilien Systems maintains the following web site: www.lilien.com.

Customers
Sysorex
In the United States, Sysorex has already re-established itself with a variety of Government contracts and subcontracts serving the U.S. Army, FAA, DHS, Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Navy, Department of Defense, Department of Health and Human Services and others. Sysorex is currently providing services, solutions or training to the following customers and holds a variety of contracts (either as a prime or subprime contractor):
U.S. GSA Schedule 70 (prime contractor)
U.S. Navy SPAWAR BFS Pillar (prime contractor)
GSA Alliant (subcontractor to CSC)
DIA - SITE– (subcontractor to Lockheed Martin)
Department of Treasury – TIPPS 4 (subcontractor to VIP)
U.S. Army Rock Island Arsenal (prime contractor)
FAA e-FAST (subcontractor to HiTec Systems)
U.S. Army – ITES-2 (subcontractor to NCI & ManTech)
DoD– Encore II (subcontractor to Lockheed Martin & ManTech)
BOSS-U – (subcontractor to Northrop Grumman)
Saudi War College (Foreign Military Sales Project, subcontractor to SAIC)
DoD - PORTICO Program – (subcontractor to Lockheed Martin)
TEIS III – (subcontractor to General Dynamics)
Our relationships with our prime contractors (when we act as a subcontractor) and our subcontractors (when we act as a prime contractor) are based on Non-Disclosure Agreements, Teaming Agreements and Subcontracts, Delivery, Task and Purchase Orders which include the agreed upon general terms and conditions between the prime contractor and subcontractor. In addition, these agreements are governed by the Government issued prime contract, which prescribes the rights and responsibilities of the prime contractor and subcontractor(s). The rights and responsibilities at the solicitation and contract level are further described by the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement (DFARS); these clauses are incorporated in the prime contract and passed along in the subcontract(s) as Government Flow-Down clauses. The FAR is the principal set of rules in the Federal Acquisition Regulation System. This system consists of sets of regulations issued by agencies of the federal government of the United States to govern what is called the “acquisition process”; this is the process through which the government purchases (“acquires”) goods and services. That process consists of three phases: (1) need recognition and acquisition planning, (2) contract formation, and (3) contract administration. The DFARS are a supplement to the FAR that provides Department of Defense (DoD) specific acquisition regulations. The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition Technology and Logistics maintains the Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy.
Lilien Systems
Lilien Systems’ key customers in 2013 were BioRad, Healthnet, Gilead Sciences, E&J Gallo, Boswell, Hawaiian Electric Company and several other commercial customers.
Shoom
Shoom’s key customers in the media, publishing and entertainment industries include Gannett, Hearst Corporation, Media General, USA Today, MediaOne, Dow Jones Local Media Group, Gate House Media and others.
AirPatrol
AirPatrol’s key customers in 2014 are primarily U.S. Government agencies but we expect private sector customers to be the majority in future years.
Competition
Sysorex
The market-space for those providing IT solutions and services is competitive throughout the world. However, the Government sector is less competitive as fewer companies understand how to successfully penetrate the Government tendering process. The management of Sysorex has 30 plus years of experience in this area and knows how to compete against the smallest to the largest players. In the past, our predecessor Sysorex went head to head with companies such as EDS, Micron, IBM, and Accenture on large government projects and was able to compete effectively. We are seeking to do the same going forward.
Competition comes in a variety of forms in today’s global economy. There are large systems integrators and defense contractors as well as small businesses, 8a, Women-owned, Veteran Disabled, Alaskan Native, etc. Some of these players include global defense & IT service companies including IBM Global Services, LogicaCMG, CSC, ATOS Origins, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon IT Services and SAIC. Sysorex expects to also face new competitors as it makes acquisitions in its target areas of cyber-security, Big Data, Cloud services and mobile/BYOD; etc. We believe these will range from services companies to companies with products and technologies.
Traditional consulting firm potential competitors include: KPMG, Accenture and Ernst & Young.
Medium/small business potential competitors include: Starry Associates, Eyak Technologies, Hi-Tec Systems, Inc., CACI, Apptis and Cylab.
Indian IT service firm potential competitors include: Wipro, TCS, Infosys, HC and Polaris
Middle East IT service firms potential competitors include: Jeraisy Group, Ebttikaar, Ejada, ACS and NATCOM
This complex landscape of domestic and multi-national services companies creates a challenging environment, however, Sysorex has a successful history and brand that it believes it can leverage. Our strategy is to be a global services provider with presence in two high growth markets (India and Middle-East). Our focus is on public, as well as private sectors, which we believe gives us a balanced and strong base for success.
Lilien Systems
The enterprise infrastructure and IT VAR industry is highly competitive. Lilien competes with various types and sizes of companies ranging from local and national service providers such as Fusion Storm Global Inc., Bear Data, LLC, enPointe Technologies and sometimes manufacturers of the products themselves. Lilien believes that it can differentiate itself from its competitors because it brings commitment, technical expertise and business vision to its solutions – enterprise computing and storage, virtualization, business continuity, networking and IT business consulting.
Shoom
Shoom competes primarily with in-house solutions that media and publishing companies may have. In addition, companies like MerlinOne and PressTeligence have part of Shoom’s solutions but usually only provide information for the specific customer and not for their competiors or for the industry.
AirPatrol
AirPatrol’s closest competition comes from wi-fi based detection companies such as Aruba and Cisco. However, these companies have decided to partner with AirPatrol as they can only do wi-fi detection and their accuracy is approximately 50-60 feet. They have partnered with AirPatrol because if offers wi-fi, cellular, RFID, blue-tooth, etc. and is sub-10-feet in location accuracy. Mobile device management companies like AirWatch, Mobile Iron and Good Technology have also integrated with AirPatrol instead of developing competing products.
Intellectual Property
The Company currently does not have any legally filed trademarks for the names Sysorex or Lilien although it has assigned value to the Lilien trade name as part of the acquisition accounting. The Company owns trademarks relating to products and services of AirPatrol Corporation, in addition to fifteen pending patents. Sysorex is investigating a trademark for its name and is actively seeking future acquisitions, which may involve the acquisition of intellectual property. Management believes that use of the Company’s intellectual property does not infringe upon any rights held by other parties.
Employees
As of August 20, 2014, Sysorex Government Services had 20 employees, including its parent’s two executive officers and one administrative person. Lilien Systems had 50 full-time, non-union employees, including its executive officers and no part-time employees. Shoom had 20 employees in total, including 19 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee. This includes 4 officers, 2 administrative people and 14 technical/engineering persons. AirPatrol had 34 full-time employees and 4 part-time employees, including 4 executive officers.

Under the Plan, as amended, we are authorized to issue up to 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock, including incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock and long term incentive awards. In December 2012, the Company obtained shareholder approval to increase the number of shares available under the Plan to 2,500,000 with yearly increases equal to 10% of the number of shares issued during the prior calendar year. Thus, effective as of January 1, 2014, an aggregate of 2,634,500 shares were authorized for grant under the Plan. The Plan is administered by our board of directors until authority is delegated to a committee of the board of directors.
As of June 30, 2014, an aggregate of 1,953,658 options had been granted under the Plan. The options are exercisable at prices ranging from $0.312 to $5.20 per share. Included are options granted to the following officers of the Company: A. Salam Qureishi, Chairman of the Board, received a 10-year option, fully vested on the date of grant, for the purchase of 250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.312 per share; Nadir Ali, CEO, received a 10-year option, fully vested on the date of grant, for the purchase of 125,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.312 per share; and Wendy Loundermon, CFO, received three 10-year options for the purchase of an aggregate 307,500 shares of common stock. These grants include a 10-year option for the purchase of 82,500 shares, with an exercise price of $1.40 per share, subject to the following vesting conditions: 71,000 shares vested on December 5, 2011, the date of grant, while 11,500 shares vested on the first anniversary of the date of grant; a 10-year option for the purchase of 75,000 shares, fully vested on December 31, 2012, the date of grant, with an exercise price of $0.312 per share, and a 10-year option for the purchase of 125,000 shares, with an exercise price of $2.56 per share, of which 31,250 shares vested on November 18, 2013 and 93,750 shares vest in equal increments over the three year period thereafter, and 25,000 shares fully vested on May 9, 2014, the date of grant, with an exercise price of $4.85. Included, effective March 1, 2013, upon the Lilien Acquisition, are 38 employees of Lilien Systems who granted an aggregate of 104,750 incentive stock options with four-year vesting schedules exercisable for ten (10) years at $0.80 per share plus an additional 40,500 options granted to Lilien employees on August 14,2013. As of the September 6, 2013 closing date of the Shoom Acquisition, 22 employees were granted an aggregate of 100,000 incentive stock options with three-year vesting schedules exercisable for 10 years at $2.60 per share. On November 18, 2013, existing employees were granted an aggregate of 458,250 options with a three-year vesting schedule exercisable for 10 years at $ 2.56 per share. On April 2, 2014 existing employees were granted an aggregate of 110,000 options with a three year vesting schedule exercisable for 10 years at $5.20 per share. Included, effective May 9, 2014 in connection with the Airpatrol acquisition 21 employees were granted an aggregate of 400,000 incentive stock option with four year vesting schedules exercisable for 10 years at $4.81 per share. As of June 30, 2014 there were 2,578,658 options currently issued and outstanding (including 625,000 not under the Plan) and 680,842 options and shares available for future issuance with the Plan.
In addition, on August 14, 2013 the Board of Directors granted to Nadir Ali non-qualified stock options outside of the Plan to purchase 625,000 shares of Common Stock at $2.70 per share, the current fair market value. The options vest in four equal installments from the second through the fifth anniversary dates of grant. However, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined) where Mr. Ali is no longer employed by the Company as an executive officer, the Option will accelerate and be fully vested (and non-forfeitable) and immediately exercisable.

Employment Agreements
The Company entered into an employment agreement with Nadir Ali, as the CEO, on July 1, 2010, as amended. Lilien Systems has entered into substantively similar employment agreements effective March 20, 2013, with Geoffrey Lilien, as Chief Executive Officer, Bret Osborn as President and Dhruv Gulati, as Executive Vice President of Business Development. See “Executive Compensation - Employment Agreements and Arrangements.”
Acquisition of Lilien
As discussed under the heading “The Lilien Acquisition” in the “Business” section above, on March 1, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Lilien LLC (“Lilien LLC”), for consideration consisting of $3,000,000 cash and the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company with a deemed fair market value of $6,000,000, or $2.00 per share, to the former members of Lilien LLC (the “Former Lilien Members”), pursuant to the Asset Purchase and Merger Agreement (the “APMA”). Pursuant to the APMA, the Company purchased the assets of Lilien LLC which included all of the capital stock of Lilien Systems (“Lilien”), now a subsidiary of the Company.
Upon the completion of the Lilien Acquisition, Geoffrey Lilien, Bret Osborn and Dhruv Gulatui were elected to the Company’s then existing Board of Directors of three persons. Sysorex and Lilien LLC agreed to mutually elect an independent seventh director. Bret Osborn and Dhruv Gulati resigned from the Board of Directors in order for the Company to have a Board consisting of a majority of independent directors upon the Company’s listing on Nasdaq. Sysorex also agreed to nominate Lilien’s three representatives for re-election for two successive shareholder meetings. In addition to serving as a director of the Company, Geoffrey Lilien is the Chief Executive Officer of Lilien.
In the Lilien Acquisition, Geoffrey Lilien received 1,705,908 shares of common stock of the Company and $1,705,908, Bret Osborn received 611,006 shares of common stock and $611,006 and Dhruv Gulati received 442,883 shares of common stock and 442,883 with the cash components subject to adjustment.
With the exception of 166,667 shares of common stock owned by Geoffrey Lilien and offered in our initial public offering, all of the shares of common stock of the Company that were issued in the Lilien Acquisition are subject to Lock-up/Leak-out and Guaranty Agreements, prohibiting the holders from selling such shares for six months from the effective date of this registration statement. The Company contingently guaranteed (the “Guaranty”) to the Former Lilien Members the net sales price of $2.00, as adjusted, per share for a two year period following the closing, provided the stockholders are in compliance with the terms and conditions of the lock-up agreement. At the end of the two year Guaranty period the Former Lilien Members shall have an option to put all, but not less than all, of their unsold Sysorex shares to Sysorex, for the price of $2.00 per unsold share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the gross profit for calendar 2013 and 2014, attributable to the Lilien assets is more than 20% below what was forecasted to the Company the Guaranty will be proportionately reduced.
Under the APMA, the Former Lilien Members were entitled to any excess cash above $1,000,000, provided both Lilien’s net worth immediately preceding the closing was greater than $1,000,000 and its net worth less excess cash of at least $1,000,000 was greater than $1,000,000. Since net worth was less than $1,000,000 there was a $153,000 working capital settlement adjustment, however, this amount is subject to continuing negotiation.
Note Payable to Related Party
The Company has borrowed funds from the Qureishi 1998 Family Trust, pursuant to an oral agreement with no stated interest rate and which is payable upon demand. As of December 31, 2012, the Company owed $136,977 to the Qureishi 1998 Family Trust, which was repaid in full March 2013. The largest aggregate amount of principal indebtedness outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2012 was $145,608, with $74,854 of principal and no interest paid during that year. The largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $136,977, all of which was paid without interest during that period. The Qureishi 1998 Family Trust owns 907,288 shares of common stock of the Company, representing approximately 4.6% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company as of August 20, 2014. The power to vote and dispose of the shares held by the Qureishi 1998 Family Trust is held by Abdus Salam Qureishi, the chairman of the board of directors of the Company. Nadir Ali and his wife are beneficiaries of the Trust.
The Company has borrowed funds from Sysorex Consulting, Inc., pursuant to an oral agreement with no stated interest rate and which is payable upon demand. As of December 31, 2012, the Company owed $11,717 to Sysorex Consulting, Inc., which has since been repaid in full. The largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2012 was $108,520 with $98,983 of additional borrowings, of which $195,787 of principal and no interest was paid during the year. The largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $11,717 with $10,858 of additional borrowings, of which $22,575 of principal and no interest was paid during the period. The power to vote and dispose of the shares held by Sysorex Consulting, Inc. is held by Abdus Salam Qureishi, the chairman of the board of directors of the Company.
Non-interest bearing amounts due on demand from Sysorex Consulting to Sysorex Saudi Arabia, Inc. were $665,554 as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. These advances were made to fund operations of Sysorex Consulting and recorded as intercompany accounts without any written agreement. The largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $665,554 with no principal or interest paid during those periods.
Agreements with Duroob Technology, Inc.
On March 31, 2013, the Company issued 443,717 shares of common stock in satisfaction of $1,774,865 owed by Sysorex Arabia LLC to Duroob Technology, Inc., a Saudi Arabian limited liability company (“Duroob”), a related party, as Duroob’s CEO owns a minority interest in Sysorex Arabia LLC. The money owed by Sysorex Arabia to Duroob was for working capital loans for payroll, rent and past-due liabilities. The fair market value of the shares was $887,433 and since Duroob is a related party the resulting gain of $887,443 has been credited to additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2013, Duroob was owed $160,331. The largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2012 was $1,813,957 with $403,534 of principal payments and no interest paid during the year. The largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $1,774,865. The Company issued stock to repay the entire $1,774,865 balance as described above and subsequently borrowed $566,749 with repayments of $312,000 during the period. There were no interest payments paid during the year ended December 31, 3013. Sysorex Arabia LLC is 50.2% owned by the Company and 49.8% owned by Abdul Aziz Salloum (“Salloum”), its general manager. Salloum is also the CEO and principal shareholder of Duroob.
The issuance of these shares was recorded by Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. as an additional investment in its majority-owned subsidiary, Sysorex Arabia LLC. However, by agreement with Salloum, the ownership percentages of Sysorex Arabia LLC remained unchanged. The Company’s 50.2% interest in Sysorex Arabia LLC was acquired from Sysorex Consulting, Inc. and the Qureishi Family Trust pursuant to a July 29, 2011 Acquisition and Share Exchange Agreement. The power to vote and dispose of the shares held by Sysorex Consulting, Inc. and the Qureishi Family Trust are held by Abdus Salam Qureishi, the chairman of the board of directors of the Company.

Our board of directors are authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by our stockholders, to issue from time to time shares of preferred stock in one or more series.

It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of our common stock until the board of directors determines the specific rights of the holders of our preferred stock. However, the effects might include, among other things:
|
·
|
Impairing dividend rights of our common stock;
|
|
·
|
Diluting the voting power of our common stock;

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 718.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, as we are, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person (a) is not liable pursuant to Section 73.138 of the NRS, and (b) acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Nevada corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person (a) is not liable pursuant to Section 73.138 of the NRS, and (b) acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the provisions of the NRS, as amended from time to time, subject to any permissible expansion or limitation of such indemnification, as may be set forth in any stockholders’ or directors’ resolution or by contract. In addition, our director and officer indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers provide, among other things, for the indemnification to the fullest extent permitted or required by Nevada law, provided that no indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification in connection with any claim initiated by the indemnitee against us or our directors or officers unless we join or consent to the initiation of the claim, or the purchase and sale of securities by the indemnitee in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
Any repeal or modification of these provisions approved by our stockholders will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any of our directors or officers existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.
We are also permitted to maintain insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or not the NRS would permit indemnification.
Anti-Takeover Effect of Nevada Law, Certain By-Law Provisions
Certain provisions of our Bylaws are intended to strengthen the board of directors’ position in the event of a hostile takeover attempt. These provisions have the following effects:
We are subject to the provisions of NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, an anti-takeover law which applies to any acquisition of a controlling interest in an “issuing corporation.” In general, such anti-takeover laws permit the articles of incorporation, bylaws or a resolution adopted by the directors of an “issuing corporation” (as defined in NRS 78.3788) to impose stricter requirements on the acquisition of a controlling interest in such corporation than the provisions of NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, as well as permit the directors of an issuing corporation to take action to protect the interests of the corporation and its stockholders, including, but not limited to, adopting plans, arrangements or other instruments that grant or deny rights, privileges, power or authority to holder(s) of certain percentages of ownership and/or voting power. Further, an “acquiring person” (and those acting in association) only obtains such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by resolution of the stockholders at either a special meeting requested by the acquiring person, provided it delivers an offeror’s statement pursuant to NRS 78.3789 and undertakes to pay the expenses thereof, or at the next special or annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, the anti-takeover law generally provides for (i) the redemption by the issuing corporation of not less than all of the “control shares” (as defined) in accordance with NRS 78.3792, if so provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws in effect on the 10th day following the acquisition of a controlling interest in an “issuing corporation”, and (ii) dissenter’s rights pursuant to NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, for stockholders that voted against authorizing voting rights for the control shares.
We are also subject to the provisions of NRS 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, which generally prohibits a publicly held Nevada corporation from engaging in a “combination” with an “interested stockholder” (each as defined) that is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of at least ten percent of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation that previously held such voting power within the past three years, for a period of three years after the date the person first became an “interested stockholder”, subject to certain exceptions for authorized combinations, as provided therein.
In accordance with NRS 78.195, our articles of incorporation provide for the authority of the board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock in series by filing a certificate of designation to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in such series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, subject to limitations prescribed by law.
Blank Check Preferred Stock
The ability to authorize “blank check” preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our Company.
Prior to the listing of our shares on Nasdaq, there was a limited public market for our common stock and a limited number of shares in the public float. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market commencing six months after the effective date of our initial public offering when lock-up agreements expire could adversely affect the prevailing market price and our ability to raise capital in the future. Specifically, holders of approximately 1,380,999 shares of our common stock issued in the Shoom Acquisition, and holders of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock issued in the Lilien Acquisition, will be eligible to sell their shares beginning in mid-October 2014.
Additionally, holders of 1,042,808 shares of our common stock who received their shares in an exempt issuance in the AirPatrol Acquisition, and will be eligible to sell their shares beginning in mid-October 2014 under Rule 144, or under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, if and when the registration statement becomes effective.
As of the date of this prospectus, we have an aggregate of 19,630,339 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Of these outstanding shares, approximately 5,127,847 shares are currently free trading and the remainder are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act all but approximately 400,000 of which have been held for more than six months. Restricted shares may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for exemption under Rule 144 or 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, which rules are summarized below, or another exemption.
Lock-Up Agreements
We have entered into lock-up agreements from each of our officers and directors and stockholders owning 2% or more of our common stock who, immediately prior to the commencement of our initial public offering, collectively held approximately 67% of our shares. Pursuant to the lock-up agreements, each such stockholder agreed that such stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our common stock, for a period of 180 days following the date of our initial public offering, without the prior written consent of our underwriter, subject to an extension in the event we issue an earnings release or make a public announcement of a material event during the last 17 days of the lock-up period. The lock-up agreements permit transfers of shares of our common stock in limited circumstances, provided that the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the provisions of the lock-up agreement.
As a result of these lock-up agreements and rules of the Securities Act, the restricted shares will be available for sale in the public market, subject to certain volume and other restrictions, and subject to release as mentioned above, as follows:
Date
|
Number
of Shares
|
|||
On the initial public offering date of April 9, 2014
|
9,578,948 | |||
For 180 days following the date of the IPO*
|
4,520,584 | |||
After the six-month anniversary of the date of the IPO
|
400,000 |
* Subject to an extension in the event we issue an earnings release or make a public announcement of a material event during the last 17 days of the lock-up period.
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a person who owns shares that were acquired from us or one of our affiliates at least six months prior to the proposed sale is entitled to sell, within any three-month period beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
One percent of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately 176,662 shares immediately after our initial public offering, assuming that the Underwriter does not exercise its option to purchase additional shares; or
The average weekly trading volume of the common stock on a national securities exchange during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.
In addition to these volume limitations, sales of unregistered shares of our common stock in reliance on Rule 144 may only be made by affiliates if such sales:
|
·
|
are preceded by a notice filing on Form 144;
|
|
·
|
are limited to broker’s transactions, as such term is defined under Section 4(a)(4) of the Securities Act; and
|
|
·
|
only occur at a time when current public information about us is available, which generally would require that we are not delinquent with any of our reports required pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
|
Rule 144 also provides that our affiliates who sell shares of our common stock that are not restricted shares must nonetheless comply with the same restrictions applicable to restricted shares, with the exception of the holding period requirement.
Under Rule 144, a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates for purposes of the Securities Act at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates, is entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. If the non-affiliate has held the shares for at least one year, then the shares may be sold without regard to the public information provisions of Rule 144. Therefore, unless otherwise restricted, shares held by non-affiliates may be sold immediately upon the expiration of the lock-up agreements.
Rule 701
In general, under Rule 701 as currently in effect, any of our employees, consultants or advisors who acquire shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement became eligible to resell such shares on July 7, 2014 in reliance of Rule 144, but without compliance with certain restrictions, including the holding period, contained in Rule 144.
Richardson & Patel LLP, with an office at 1100 Glendon Avenue, Suite 850, Los Angeles, CA 90024 will pass upon the validity of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus.
The financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, included in this prospectus have been audited by Marcum LLP an independent registered public accounting firm as set forth in their report, and are included in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

SYSOREX GLOBAL HOLDINGS CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 AND 2013
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business
Overview
Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. (“SGHC”), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AirPatrol Corporation and Airpatrol Research Corporations (“AirPatrol”), Lilien Systems, Shoom, Inc. (“Shoom”), Sysorex Government Services, Inc. (“SGS”), Sysorex Federal, Inc. (“Sysorex Federal”) and majority-owned subsidiary, Sysorex Arabia LLC (“SA”) (collectively the “Company”), provides location based technology, cybersecurity, data analytics, custom application development, cloud solutions, Mobile/BYOD solutions and strategic outsourcing to customers worldwide. The Company is headquartered in California, and has subsidiary offices in Virginia, Maryland, Oregon, Hawaii, State of Washington, California, Vancouver, Canada and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2014, the Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately $8,129,000. Included in that amount is the AirPatrol acquisition earnout liability of $7,780,000 which is the present value of the expected $10,000,000 earnout to be paid to the AirPatrol shareholders in 2015, of which half of the value earned shall be paid in stock and the other half in cash (unless otherwise agreed or required pursuant to the AirPatrol Merger Agreement (defined hereafter)) (see note 6). If AirPatrol’s Net Income (as defined in the AirPatrol Merger Agreement) meets or exceeds $3,500,000 in the five quarters ending March 31, 2015, the Company shall pay to the AirPatrol stockholders an earnout payment equal to (i) AirPatrol Net Income, divided by $5,000,000, times (ii) $10,000,000, provided that the total earnout payment shall not exceed $10,000,000. The cash generated from the AirPatrol profitability target is expected to fund the cash portion of the earnout liability.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014 the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $3.3 million and used cash in operations of approximately $5.6 million. Included in the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is approximately $1.2 million of acquisition transaction costs and approximately $1.6 million of amortization of intangibles.
The Company raised approximately $2 million in equity financing from a strategic investor during February 2014 and received approximately $17.7 million in April 2014, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, in net proceeds from the sale of 3,166,666 shares in a public offering of which it used approximately $8.5 million of cash in the acquisition of AirPatrol (see note 17). The Company’s current capital resources as of June 30, 2014 and the equity financing and contract awards in the first quarter of 2014 are expected to be sufficient to fund planned operations during the succeeding twelve months, if not the company may need to curtail certain of its expansion activities.
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of the Company’s operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and footnotes for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 included in the prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2014.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company's complete accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Company's audited financial statements and footnotes for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting records of SGHC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Sysorex Federal, SGS, Lilien Systems, Shoom, AirPatrol and its majority-owned subsidiary, SA. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
SYSOREX GLOBAL HOLDINGS CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 AND 2013
(UNAUDITED)
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Principles of Consolidation (continued)
The Company owns 50.2% of Sysorex Arabia. As of June 30, 2014, SA had minimal cash, approximately $749,000 in deposits, $35,000 in other assets and intercompany balances and debts as disclosed in the following footnotes, with an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,653,000.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates consist of:
●
|
The valuation of stock-based compensation;
|
|
●
|
The allowance for doubtful accounts;
|
|
●
|
The valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired from the AirPatrol Acquisition as described in Note 6;
|
|
●
|
The valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset; and
|
|
●
|
Impairment of intangible assets.
|
Inventory
Inventory consisting primarily of finished goods and raw materials is stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The Company continually analyzes its slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories and establishes reserves based on historical and projected sales volumes and anticipated selling prices. If the Company does not meet its sales expectations, these reserves are increased. Products that are determined to be obsolete are written down to net realizable value. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company deemed any such allowance nominal.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets primarily consist of developed technology, customer lists/relationships, non-compete agreements and trade names and trademarks and are amortized ratably over a range of one to seven years which approximates customer attrition rate and technology obsolescence. The Company assesses the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment each year. Based on its assessments, the Company did not incur any impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
The Company develops and utilizes internal software for the processing of data provided by its customers. Costs incurred in this effort are accounted for under the provisions of FASB ASC 350-40, “Internal Use Software”, whereby direct costs related to development and enhancement of internal use software are capitalized, and costs related to maintenance are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes its direct internal costs of labor and associated employee benefits that qualify as development or enhancement. These internal use software development costs are amortized over the estimated useful life which management has determined is four years following the year incurred.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 AND 2013
(UNAUDITED)
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Goodwill
The Company records goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets in connection with business combinations. Goodwill, which represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets of acquired companies, is not amortized. Indefinite-lived assets are stated at fair value as of the date acquired in a business combination. The Company’s goodwill balance and other assets with indefinite lives are evaluated for potential impairment annually each year and in certain other circumstances. The evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of the business to the recorded value, including goodwill. To determine the fair value of the business, the Company utilizes both the “Income Approach”, which is based on estimates of future net cash flows, and the “Market Approach”, which observes transactional evidence involving similar businesses. There was no impairment for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Deferred Rent Expense
The Company has operating leases which contain predetermined increases and rent holidays in the rentals payable during the term of such leases. For these leases, the aggregate rental expense over the lease term is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The difference between the expense charged to operations in any year and the amount payable under the lease during that year is recorded as deferred rent expense on the Company’s balance sheet, which will reverse over the lease term.
Foreign Currency Translation
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Revenues and expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at rates approximating exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Translation exchange gains and losses resulting from the period-end translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in other comprehensive income or loss, on the statement of equity. Transaction gains or losses are recognized through earnings.
Transaction and translation gains and losses were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) and its components in its consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments affecting stockholders’ equity that, under U.S. GAAP, are excluded from net loss. The difference between net loss as reported and comprehensive income (loss) have historically been immaterial.

The Company is a systems integrator and consulting services company that provides IT solutions and services to its customers and recognizes revenue once four criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the price is fixed and determinable, (3) delivery (software and hardware) or fulfillment (maintenance) has occurred, and (4) there is reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds (the “Revenue Recognition Criteria”). In addition, the Company also records revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-45 “Principal Agent Consideration” (“ASC 605-45”). The Company evaluates the sales of products and services on a case by case basis to determine whether the transaction should be recorded gross or net, including, but not limited to, assessing whether or not the Company: 1) is the primary obligor in the transaction; 2) has inventory risk with respect to the products and/or services sold; 3) has latitude in pricing; and 4) changes the product or performs part of the services sold. The Company evaluates whether revenues received from the sale of hardware and software products, licenses, and services, including maintenance and professional consulting services should be recognized on a gross or net basis on a transaction by transaction basis. As of the date hereof, the Company has determined that all revenues received should be recognized on a gross basis in accordance with the applicable standards.
Cooperative reimbursements from vendors, which are earned and available, are recorded in the period the related advertising expenditure is incurred. Cooperative reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of cost of sales in accordance with ASC Topic 605-50 “Accounting by a Customer (including reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor.” Provisions for returns are estimated based on historical sales returns and credit memo analysis which are adjusted to actual on a periodic basis. The Company receives marketing development funds (MDF) from vendors based on quarterly sales performance to promote the marketing of vendor products and services. The Company must file claims with vendors for these cooperative reimbursements by providing invoices and receipts for marketing expenses. Reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of marketing expenses and other applicable selling general and administrative expenses in the period in which the expenses were incurred.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 AND 2013
(UNAUDITED)
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition (continued)
The Company also enters into sales transactions whereby customer orders contain multiple deliverables, and reports its multiple deliverable arrangements under ASC 605-25 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“ASC-605-25”). These multiple deliverable arrangements primarily consist of the following deliverables: the Company’s design, configuration, installation, integration, warranty/maintenance and consulting services; and third-party computer hardware, software and warranty maintenance services. In situations where the Company bundles all or a portion of the separate elements, vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) is determined based on prices when sold separately. For the three months ended June 30, 3014 and 2013 revenue recognized as a result of customer contracts requiring the delivery of multiple elements was $12,251,679 and $8,426,363, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 revenue recognized as a result of customer contracts requiring the delivery of multiple elements was $24,579,520 and $11,277,840, respectively.
Hardware, Software and Licensing Revenue Recognition
Generally, the Revenue Recognition Criteria are met with respect to the sales of hardware and software products when they are shipped to the customer. The delivery of products to our customers occurs in a variety of ways, including (i) as a physical product shipped from the Company’s warehouse, (ii) via drop-shipment by a third-party vendor, or (iii) via electronic delivery with respect to software licenses. The Company leverages drop-ship arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouse. In such arrangements, the Company negotiates the sale price with the customer, pays the supplier directly for the product shipped, bears credit risk of collecting payment from its customers and is ultimately responsible for the acceptability of the product and ensuring that such product meets the standards and requirements of the customer. As a result, the Company recognizes the sale of the product and the cost of such upon receiving notification from the supplier that the product has shipped. Vendor rebates and price protection are recorded when earned as a reduction to cost of sales or merchandise inventory, as applicable. Vendor product price discounts are recorded when earned as a reduction to cost of sales. Vendor product sales volume and growth incentive rebates based on total Company quarterly sales are recorded when earned as other income.
Maintenance and Professional Services Revenue Recognition
With respect to sales of our maintenance, consulting and other service agreements including our digital advertising and electronic services, the Revenue Recognition Criteria is met once the service has been provided. Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized based on a fixed hourly rate as direct labor hours are expended. The fixed rate includes direct labor, indirect expenses, and profits. Materials, or other specified direct costs, are reimbursed as actual costs and may include markup. Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 the Company did not incur any such losses. These amounts are based on known and estimated factors. Revenues from time and material or firm fixed price long-term and short-term contracts are derived principally with various United States Government agencies, Saudi Arabian Government agencies, and commercial customers.
The Company recognizes revenue for sales of all services billed as a fixed fee ratably over the term of the arrangement as such services are provided. Billings for such services that are made in advance of the related revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the billing coverage period. Amounts received as prepayments for services to be rendered are recognized as deferred revenue. Revenue from such prepayments is recognized when the services are provided.
The Company’s maintenance services agreements permit customers to obtain technical support from the Company and/or the manufacturer and to update, at no additional cost, to the latest technology if new software updates are introduced during the period that the maintenance agreement is in effect. Since the Company assumes certain responsibility for product staging, configuration, installation, modification, and integration with other client systems, retains general inventory risk upon customer return or rejection, and is the most familiar with the customer and its required specifications, it generally serves as the initial contact with the customer with respect to any maintenance services required and therefore will perform all or part of the required service.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition (continued)
Typically, the Company sells maintenance contracts for a separate fee with initial contractual periods ranging from one to three years with renewal for additional periods thereafter. The Company generally bills maintenance fees in advance, records the amounts received as deferred revenue with respect to any portion of the fee for which services have not yet been provided. The Company recognizes the related revenue ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement as services are provided. In situations where the Company bundles all or a portion of the maintenance fee with products, VSOE for maintenance is determined based on prices when sold separately.
Customers that have purchased maintenance/warranty services have a right to cancel and receive a refund of the amounts paid for unused services at any time during the service period upon advance written notice to the Company. Cancellation and refund privileges with respect to maintenance/warranty services lapse as to any period during the term of the agreement for which such services have already been provided. Customers do not have the right to a refund of paid fees for maintenance/warranty services that the Company has earned and recognized as revenue. Invoices issued for maintenance/warranty services not yet rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and then recognized as revenue ratably over the service period. As a result (1) the warranty and maintenance service fees payable by each customer are separately accounted for in each customer purchase order as a separate line item, and (2) upon the Company’s receipt and acceptance of a request for refund of maintenance/warranty services not yet provided, the Company’s obligation to perform any additional maintenance/warranty services will end. Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, and returns.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for options granted to employees by measuring the cost of services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based upon the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value of that award is then ratably recognized as expense over the period during which the recipient is required to provide services in exchange for that award.
Options and warrants granted to consultants and other non-employees are recorded at fair value as of the grant date and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period until such options and warrants vest, and the fair value of such instruments, as adjusted, is expensed over the related vesting period.
The Company incurred stock-based compensation charges, net of estimated forfeitures of $652,370 and $127,277 for the three month period ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and $844,399 and $470,177 for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net loss per common share were the same since the inclusion of common shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of options and warrants in the calculation of diluted net loss per common shares would have been anti-dilutive.

Reclassification
Certain accounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year’s financial statements. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported earnings.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (ASU 2014-08) in April 2014. This new standard raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations, allows companies to have significant continuing involvement and continuing cash flows and provides for new and additional disclosures of discontinued operations and individually material disposal transactions. The Company anticipates adopting the new standard when it becomes effective in the first quarter of 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-08 to have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the ASU on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the ASU on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates events and/or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date and before the issue date of the condensed consolidated financial statements to determine if any of those events and/or transactions requires adjustment to or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reverse Stock Split
The board of directors was authorized by the Company's stockholders to effect a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of its common stock which was effective April 8, 2014. The financial statements and accompanying notes give effect to the 1-for-2 reverse stock split as if it occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented.

Note 4 - Acquisition of the Business of Lilien LLC
On March 20, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Merger Agreement (the “Lilien Agreement”) to acquire substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Lilien LLC and 100% of the stock of Lilien Systems (collectively referred hereafter as “Lilien”) effective as of March 1, 2013. Lilien is an information technology company whose operations complement and significantly expand the Company's current base of business.
The purchase price of this acquisition aggregated $9,000,000 and consisted of cash of $3,000,000, and 6,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock deemed to have a fair value of $6,000,000. The cash consideration of $3,000,000 was obtained by the Company through a borrowing under a credit facility entered into jointly between SGS and Lilien concurrently with and for the express purpose of consummating that acquisition. Total costs incurred in connection with the Lilien acquisition were $907,865 which consisted primarily of professional fees.
Lilien Systems and SGS are co-borrowers on the loan and both guaranteed the debt. As they are part of the consolidated group of the Company no accounting consideration related to the co-guaranty was deemed necessary since such impact, if any, would be eliminated in consolidation.
Additionally, under the terms of the Lilien Agreement, the Company is liable to the former members of Lilien LLC for the payment of additional cash consideration on March 20, 2015 to the extent that they receive less than $1.00 per share from the sale of the 6,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock referred to above (the “Guaranteed Amount”), less customary commissions, on or before March 20, 2015, provided the stockholders are in compliance with the terms and conditions of the lock-up agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the gross profits for calendar 2013 and 2014 attributable to the Lilien assets are more than 20% below what was forecasted to the Company, the Guaranteed Amount will be proportionately reduced. As of the date of the acquisition and June 30, 2014 the guaranteed amount was de minimis.
The acquisition of Lilien was accounted for by the Company under the acquisition method of accounting, whereby assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition and the results of operations of the acquired company are consolidated with those of the Company from the date of acquisition. The Company deemed the quoted market prices for those shares not to be a reliable measurement method due to the very limited trading activity in such securities.

The purchase price of this acquisition aggregated $8,107,000 and consisted of cash to be paid of $2,500,000, and 2,762,000 shares of the Company's common stock deemed to have a fair value of $5,607,000. The cash portion was funded by the excess working capital the Company obtained from the Shoom acquisition. The cash consideration is subject to adjustment under terms of the Shoom Agreement. Total costs incurred for the Shoom acquisition were $316,387 which consisted primarily of professional fees.
The acquisition of Shoom was accounted for by the Company under the acquisition method of accounting, whereby assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition and the results of operations of the acquired company are consolidated with those of the Company from the date of acquisition.

Note 6 – Acquisition of AirPatrol Corporation
On December 20, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement of Plan and Merger (the “AirPatrol Merger Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the capital stock of AirPatrol, a company in the mobile cyber-security and location-based services (LBS) space, for a purchase price equal to (a) $10,000,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments, allocated to and among certain creditors, payees, holders of AirPatrol’s issued and outstanding capital stock and (b) 2,000,000 shares (after giving effect to a reverse stock split) of Company common stock, of which 800,000 shares shall be held in escrow for one year, as security to satisfy any indemnity claims that may be owed by the AirPatrol stockholders to the Company (the “AirPatrol Merger Consideration”). The AirPatrol Merger Consideration also includes an earnout, half of the value of which shall be in stock and the other half in cash (unless otherwise agreed or required pursuant to the AirPatrol Merger Agreement) payable to the stockholders of AirPatrol in 2015 in accordance with the following formula: if for the five quarter period ending March 31, 2015, AirPatrol Net Income meets or exceeds $3,500,000, the Company shall pay to the AirPatrol stockholders an earnout payment equal to (i) AirPatrol Net Income, divided by $5,000,000, times (ii) $10,000,000, provided that the total earnout payment shall not exceed $10,000,000.
On April 18, 2014, the parties to the AirPatrol Merger Agreement entered into an Amendment No. 2, pursuant which the Company agreed to (i) modify the working capital adjustment provision of the AirPatrol Merger Agreement, (ii) modify the distribution of the earnout, (iii) enter into a non-competition agreement with the former chairman of the board and significant stockholder of AirPatrol in exchange for allocation of consideration to the former chairman, (iv) modify the AirPatrol retention plan to reduce cash consideration and increase stock consideration paid to an employee of AirPatrol, in addition to other modifications as set forth in the full text of Amendment No. 2. None of these modifications resulted in any increase to the AirPatrol Merger Consideration.
The working capital adjustment provision, which otherwise would have resulted in a deduction entirely from cash merger consideration of approximately $1.27 million, was adjusted so that instead approximately $486,000 was deducted from cash merger consideration, and the balance of approximately $786,000 was deducted from stock merger consideration (resulting in 157,192 fewer shares of Sysorex common stock issued as stock merger consideration at the closing).
The merger was consummated on April 18, 2014 with an effective date of acquisition of April 16, 2014, and as a result the Company became the holder of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of AirPatrol. At the closing, the Company (i) paid or initiated actions to pay a total of $8,466,258 to various former stockholders, former noteholders, former directors, professional service firms and continuing officers, (ii) issued a total of 1,042,809 shares of its common stock to former stockholders, directors, and continuing officers of AirPatrol, and to the investment banking firm of AGC Partners, LLC, and (iii) issued 800,000 shares of its common stock into a holdback escrow. A working capital adjustment applied at closing reduced cash consideration by approximately $486,000 and reduced stock merger consideration by 157,192 shares. Additionally, a total of $1,047,781 was deducted from cash merger consideration in conjunction with repayment of AirPatrol’s indebtedness to the Company as described below.
Pursuant to a loan agreement dated as of August 30, 2013, the Company loaned AirPatrol $1 million evidenced by a secured promissory note due April 29, 2014, as amended on February 28, 2014. Upon the closing of the merger on April 18, 2014, the note became due and payable. On the closing date, AirPatrol repaid the principal and interest of the note totaling $1,047,781 as a deduction from merger consideration, consisting of $1,000,000 in principal and $47,781 in interest.
In connection with this transaction, on May 9, 2014, the Company issued options to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock to certain employees of AirPatrol at an exercise price of $4.81 per share. These options are exercisable for ten years and vest over four years.
The total recorded purchase price for the transaction was $27,472,000 which consisted of the cash paid of $9,514,000, $10,178,000 for the value of stock issued and $7,780,000 for the present value of the $10,000,000 expected earn out payment.

Note 19 - Options
On January 27, 2014 the Company granted options for the purchase of 10,000 shares of common stock to an employee. These options have a four year vesting schedule, have a life of ten years and an exercise price of $4.74 per share. The Company valued the stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the fair value of the award was $16,600. The fair value of the common stock as of grant date was $4.06 share.
On April 2, 2014 the Company granted options for the purchase of 110,000 shares of common stock to employees. These options vest over four years and have an exercise period of ten years and an exercise price of $5.20 per share. The Company valued the stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the fair value of the award was $261,000. The fair value of the common stock as of the grant date was $5.20 per share.
On May 9, 2014 the Company granted options for the purchase of 400,000 shares of common stock to employees in connection with the AirPatrol Acquisition. These options vest over four years and have an exercise period of ten years and an exercise price of $4.81 per share. The Company valued the stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the fair value of the award was $883,700. The fair value of the common stock as of grant date was $4.85 per share.
On May 9, 2014 the Company granted options for the purchase of 25,000 shares of common stock to employees. These options are fully vested and have an exercise period of ten years and an exercise price of $4.85 per share. The Company valued the stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the fair value of the award was $54,900. The fair value of the common stock as of grant date was $4.85 per share.
As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of non-vested options totaled $3,262,735 which will be amortized to expense over the weighted average remaining term of 3.41 years.
The fair value of each employee option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Key weighted-average assumptions used to apply this pricing model during the six months ended June 30, 2014 were as follows:
Risk-free interest rate
|
2.62 - 2.82%
|
||
Expected life of option grants
|
7 years
|
||
Expected volatility of underlying stock
|
39.4%
|
||
Dividends
|
$-
|
The expected term assumption represents the average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is based on the expected term calculated using the approach prescribed by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 110 for “plain vanilla options”. The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options was determined by the historical volatilities for industry peers and used an average of those volatilities. The Company does not expect to declare dividends in the near future; accordingly, the assumption is $0. The Company attributes the value of stock-based compensation to operations on the straight-line single option method. Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods.
Note 20 - Credit Risk and Concentrations
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.
The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. Cash is also maintained at a foreign financial institution for its majority-owned subsidiary. Cash in foreign financial institutions as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was immaterial. The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from cash.
As of June 30, 2014, Customer E represented approximately 16%, and Customer C represented approximately 11% of total accounts receivable. Sales to these customers during the 6 months ended June 30, 2014 were $2,580,028 and $1,918,675, respectively.
The following table sets forth the percentages of revenue derived by the Company from those customers which accounted for at least 10% of revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

Note 22 – Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
SYSOREX GLOBAL HOLDINGS CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 AND 2013
(UNAUDITED)
Note 22 – Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, a judgment in the amount of $936,330 was levied against Sysorex Arabia LLC in favor of Creative Edge, Inc. in connection with amounts advanced for operations. Of that amount, $214,187 has been repaid, $514,836 will be paid through a surety bond, and the remaining $207,321 has been accrued as advances payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet by Sysorex Arabia as of June 30, 2014. In connection with this transaction there was no effect upon the statement of operations for the period ended June 30, 2014.
Contingent Consideration
Under the terms of the acquisition of Lilien, the Company is liable for the payment of additional cash consideration to the extent that the recipients of the 3,000,000 (6,000,000 pre-split) shares of the Company's common stock receive less than $3,000,000 ($6,000,000 pre-split) from the sale of those shares, less customary commissions, on or before March 20, 2015. As of the date of the acquisition and June 30, 2014 the guaranteed amount was considered by management to be de minimis.
Under the terms of the acquisition of AirPatrol, the AirPatrol Merger Consideration also includes an earnout, half of the value of which shall be in stock and the other half in cash (unless otherwise agreed or required pursuant to the AirPatrol Merger Agreement) payable to the stockholders of AirPatrol in 2015 in accordance with the following formula: if for the five quarter period ending March 31, 2015, AirPatrol Net Income meets or exceeds $3,500,000, the Company shall pay to the AirPatrol stockholders an earnout payment equal to (i) AirPatrol Net Income, divided by $5,000,000, times (ii) $10,000,000, provided that the total earnout payment shall not exceed $10,000,000. The Company has accrued an earnout liability of $7,780,000 which is the present value of the expected $10,000,000 earnout to be paid to the AirPatrol shareholders in 2015.
Note 23 - Subsequent Events
On July 3, 2014 the Company granted options for the purchase of 75,000 shares of common stock to an employee. These options vest pro-rata over 48 months and have a life of ten years and an exercise price of $3.79 per share. The Company valued the stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the fair value of the award was $127,800. The fair value of the common stock as of grant date was $3.79 per share.
On July 10, 2014 the Company issued 30,000 shares of common stock under the terms of a consulting services agreement which were fully vested upon date of grant. The Company recorded an expense of $111,000 for the value of those shares on that date.
On August 1, 2014 the Company issued 7,895 shares of common stock under the terms of a consulting services agreement which were fully vested upon date of grant. The Company recorded an expense of $30,000 for the value of those shares on that date.
To the Board of Directors of
Sysorex Global Holdings Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Overview
Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. (“SGHC”), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sysorex Federal, Inc. and Sysorex Government Services, Inc., and majority-owned subsidiary, Sysorex Arabia LLC (collectively the “Company”), provides information technology and telecommunications solutions and services primarily to government customers in the United States and Saudi Arabia. The Company is a systems integration and consulting company and has a wide range of offerings, including, but not limited to: custom application/software design, architecture and development, data center design and operations services, command control, computer communication, intelligence (C4I) system consulting, program management and security solutions and services. The Company is headquartered in the State of California, has an office in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary operates in Saudi Arabia.
Effective March 1, 2013, and as more fully described in Note 3, the Company acquired the assets of Lilien LLC (“Lilien”), and 100% of the stock of Lilien Systems (collectively “Lilien”). The Company expanded its operations by providing information technology solutions services to organizations. These services include enterprise computing and storage, virtualization, business continuity, networking and information technology business consulting services. Lilien has offices in California, Oregon, Hawaii and the State of Washington.
Effective August 31, 2013 and as more fully described in Note 4, the Company acquired Shoom, Inc. (“Shoom”) a California based provider of Cloud-based data analytics and enterprise solutions to the media, publishing, and entertainment industries. Shoom expands Sysorex’s depth of enterprise service offerings with Cloud–based solutions.
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2013 the Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately $7.9 million. For the year ended December 31, 2013 the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $4.3 million and utilized cash in operations of approximately $2.7 million.
Effective August 31, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the stock of Shoom, Inc. a California based provider of cloud based data analytics and enterprise solutions to the media, publishing, and entertainment industries that generates 77% gross margins. In addition the Company amended its bank line of credit to increase the credit limit to $6,000,000. As of December 31, 2013 there was $302,410 available under the credit line. The Company’s plans include entering into agreements to obtain additional equity financing to fund short-term operating activities and implementing its expansion strategy that was launched with the acquisition of Lilien in March 2013. The Company’s current capital resources as of December 31, 2013 and the equity financing and contract awards in the first quarter of 2014 are expected to be sufficient to fund planned operations during the succeeding twelve months as the Company closed $2 Million in equity financing from a strategic investor during February 2014 and the Company won a new $1.4 Million 1 year US Army contract that commenced in February 2014. In addition, in February 2013 the Company was awarded a U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract which has started releasing task orders during Q1 2014 and other awards are expected later in the year.
The Company can give no assurance that it will be successful in implementing its business plan and obtain financing that will be available on terms advantageous to the Company, if at all. Should the Company not be successful in implementing its business plan or obtaining the necessary financing to fund its short-term operations, the Company may need to curtail certain or all of its expansion activities.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates consist of:
The valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired from Lilien and Shoom as described in Notes 3 and 4, respectfully, as well as the valuation of the Company's common shares issued in those transactions;
The valuation of stock-based compensation;
The allowance for doubtful accounts;
The valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset; and
Impairment of intangible assets.
Business Combinations
The Company account for business combinations under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 805 “Business Combinations” using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value is recorded as goodwill. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. Upon acquisition, the accounts and results of operations are consolidated as of and subsequent to the acquisition date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, checking accounts, money market accounts and temporary investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company had no cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
In connection with certain transactions, the Company may be required to deposit assets, including cash or investment shares, in escrow accounts. The assets held in escrow are subject to various contingencies that may exist with respect to such transactions. Upon resolution of those contingencies or the expiration of the escrow period, some or all the escrow amounts may be used and the balance released to the Company. As of December 31, 2013 the Company has $500,000 deposited in escrow shown as Restricted Cash of $71,429 and Restricted Cash – net of current portion of $428,571 for the Shoom acquisition of which any amounts not subject to claims shall be released to the Shoom Stockholders, on a pro-rata basis, on each of the seven (7) anniversary dates of the Closing Date in seven equal installments. See note 18(d).
Marketable Securities
The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with FASB ASC 320-10, Investments-Debt and Equity Securities. The Company classifies its investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and all debt securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading at acquisition and reevaluate such classification at each subsequent balance sheet date. The Company has investments classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity at December 31, 2013. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value and any difference between cost and fair value is recorded as unrealized gain or loss and is reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Held-to-maturity securities are those investments that the Company has the ability and intend to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and discounts, which approximates market value at the purchase date. The Company generally purchases fixed-income securities that have a remaining maturity of one year or less. Realized gains and losses and declines in value expected to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in other expenses in the statement of operations. Cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on marketable securities are included in other revenue.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounts Receivable, net, Contracts receivable, net and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivables are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts receivables are not overstated due to uncollectibility. Bad debt reserves are maintained for various customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings, or deterioration in the customers’ operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted. The Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $547,672 and $133,180 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company has reclassified $547,672(which has been reserved against in full) and $369,804 respectively as long term contracts receivable because the amount is not expected to be collected within the next twelve months.
Inventory
Inventory consisting primarily of finished goods is stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The Company continually analyzes its slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories. Based on historical and projected sales volumes and anticipated selling prices, the Company establishes reserves. If the Company does not meet its sales expectations, these reserves are increased. Products that are determined to be obsolete are written down to net realizable value. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company deemed any such allowance nominal.
Deferred Financing Costs
Cost incurred in conjunction with the debt financing has been capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense using the straight line method, which approximates the interest rate method, over the term of the debt and is included as a component of other assets. The Company incurred $143,652 of deferred financing costs and amortized $30,243 of those costs during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Prepaid Licenses and Maintenance Contracts
Prepaid licenses and maintenance contracts represent payments made by the Company directly to the manufacturer. The Company acts as the principal and the primary obligor in the transaction and amortizes the capitalized costs ratably over the term of the contract to cost of revenues, generally one to five years.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company depreciates its property and equipment for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset, or the initial lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the economic useful life of the related assets, are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures, which extend the economic life, are capitalized. When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposal is recognized.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets primarily consist of developed technology, customer lists/relationships, and trade names and trademarks and are amortized ratably over a range of four to seven years which approximates customer attrition rate and technology obsolescence. The Company assesses the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment each year. Based on its assessments, the Company did not incur any impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Goodwill
The Company records goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets in connection with business combinations. Goodwill, which represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets of acquired companies, is not amortized. Indefinite-lived assets are stated at fair value as of the date acquired in a business combination. The Company’s goodwill balance and other assets with indefinite lives are evaluated for potential impairment annually each year and in certain other circumstances. The evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of the business to the recorded value, including goodwill. To determine the fair value of the business, the Company utilizes both the “Income Approach”, which is based on estimates of future net cash flows, and the “Market Approach”, which observes transactional evidence involving similar businesses. There was no impairment for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Software Development Costs
The Company develops and utilizes internal software for the processing of data provided by its customers. Costs incurred in this effort are accounted for under the provisions of FASB ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software, whereby direct costs related to development and enhancement of internal use software is capitalized, and costs related to maintenance are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes its direct internal costs of labor and associated employee benefits that qualify as development or enhancement. These internal use software development costs are amortized over the estimated useful life which management has determined is four years following the year such costs are capitalized.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, when there are indications that the assets might be impaired. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If an asset’s carrying value exceeds such estimated cash flows (undiscounted and with interest charges), the Company records an impairment charge for the difference.
Based on its assessments, the Company did not record any impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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 the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Income tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will either expire before the Company is able to realize the benefit, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
Non-Controlling Interest
The Company has a 50.2% equity interest in SA as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The portion of the Company’s deficiency attributable to this third-party non-controlling interest was approximately $1.5 million and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities related to the Company’s foreign operations are calculated using the Saudi Riyal and are translated at end-of-period exchange rates, while the related revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of consolidated stockholders’ equity and not deemed material.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Foreign Currency Transactions
Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company engages in foreign currency denominated transactions with customers that operate in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Aggregate foreign currency net transaction losses were not material and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) and its components in its consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive loss consists of net loss, foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses from marketable securities, affecting stockholders’ equity that, under US GAAP, are excluded from net loss.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are comprised of the following:

The Company is a systems integrator and consulting services company that provides IT solutions and services to its customers and recognizes revenue once four criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the price is fixed and determinable, (3) delivery (software and hardware) or fulfillment (maintenance) has occurred, and (4) there is reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds (the “Revenue Recognition Criteria”). In addition, the Company also records revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-45 “Principal Agent Consideration” (“ASC 605-45”). The Company evaluates the sales of products and services on a case by case basis to determine whether the transaction should be recorded gross or net, including, but not limited to, assessing whether or not the Company: 1) is the primary obligor in the transaction; 2) has inventory risk with respect to the products and/or services sold; 3) has latitude in pricing; and 4) changes the product or performs part of the services sold. The Company evaluates whether revenues received from the sale of hardware and software products, licenses, and services, including maintenance and professional consulting services should be recognized on a gross or net basis on a transaction by transaction basis. As of the date hereof, the Company has determined that all revenues received should be recognized on a gross basis in accordance with applicable the standards.
Cooperative reimbursements from vendors, which are earned and available, are recorded in the period the related advertising expenditure is incurred. Cooperative reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of cost of sales in accordance with ASC Topic 605-50 “Accounting by a Customer (including reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor.” Provisions for returns are estimated based on historical sales returns and credit memo analysis which are adjusted to actual on a periodic basis. The Company receives Marketing Development Funds (MDF) from vendors based on quarterly sales performance to promote the marketing of vendor products and services. The Company must file claims with vendors for these cooperative reimbursements by providing invoices and receipts for marketing expenses. Reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of marketing expenses and other applicable selling general and administrative expenses in the period in which the expenses were incurred.

The Company also enters into sales transactions whereby customer orders contain multiple deliverables, and reports its multiple deliverable arrangements under ASC 605-25 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“ASC-605-25”). These multiple deliverable arrangements primarily consist of the following deliverables: the Company’s design, configuration, installation, integration, warranty/maintenance and consulting services; and third-party computer hardware, software and warranty maintenance services. In situations where the Company bundles all or a portion of the separate elements, Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) is determined based on prices when sold separately. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 revenues recognized as a result of customer contracts requiring the delivery of multiple elements was $35,171,415 and $0, respectively. The Company had no multiple deliverable arrangements prior to the acquisition of Lilien.
Hardware, Software and Licensing Revenue Recognition
Generally, the Revenue Recognition Criteria are met with respect to the sales of hardware and software products when they are shipped to the customer. The delivery of products to our customers occurs in a variety of ways, including (i) as a physical product shipped from the Company’s warehouse, (ii) via drop-shipment by a third-party vendor, or (iii) via electronic delivery with respect to software licenses. The Company leverages drop-ship arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouse. In such arrangements, the Company negotiates the sale price with the customer, pays the supplier directly for the product shipped, bears credit risk of collecting payment from its customers and is ultimately response for the acceptability of the product and ensuring that such product meets the standards and requirements of the customer. As a result, the Company recognizes the sale of the product and the cost of such upon receiving notification from the supplier that the product has shipped. Vendor rebates and price protection are recorded when earned as a reduction to cost of sales or merchandise inventory, as applicable. Vendor product price discounts are recorded when earned as a reduction to cost of sales. Vendor product sales volume and growth incentive rebates based on total Company quarterly sales are recorded when earned as other income.
Maintenance and Professional Services Revenue Recognition
With respect to sales of our maintenance, consulting and other service agreements including our digital advertising and electronic services, the Revenue Recognition Criteria is met once the service has been provided. Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized based on a fixed hourly rate as direct labor hours are expended. The fixed rate includes direct labor, indirect expenses, and profits. Materials, or other specified direct costs, are reimbursed as actual costs and may include markup. Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company did not incur any such losses. These amounts are based on known and estimated factors. Revenues from time and material or firm fixed price long-term and short-term contracts are derived principally with various United States Government agencies, Saudi Arabian Government agencies, and commercial customers.
The Company recognizes revenue for sales of all services billed as a fixed fee ratably over the term of the arrangement as such services are provided. Billings for such services that are made in advance of the related revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the billing coverage period. Amounts received as prepayments for services to be rendered are recognized as deferred revenue. Revenue from such prepayments are recognized when the services are provided.
The Company’s maintenance services agreements permit customers to obtain technical support from the Company and/or the manufacturer and to update, at no additional cost, to the latest technology if new software updates are introduced during the period that the maintenance agreement is in effect. Since the Company assumes certain responsibility for product staging, configuration, installation, modification, and integration with other client systems, or retains general inventory risk upon customer return or rejection is most familiar with the customer and its required specifications it generally serves as the initial contact with the customer with respect to any maintenance services required and therefore will perform all or part of the required service.
Typically, the Company sells maintenance contracts for a separate fee with initial contractual periods ranging from one to three years with renewal for additional periods thereafter. The Company generally bills maintenance fees in advance, records the amounts received as deferred revenue with respect to any portion of the fee for which services have not yet been provided. The Company recognizes the related revenue ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement as services are provided. In situations where the Company bundles all or a portion of the maintenance fee with products, VSOE for maintenance is determined based on prices when sold separately.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Customers that have purchased maintenance/warranty services have a right to cancel and receive a refund of the amounts paid for unused services at any time during the service period upon advance written notice to the Company. Cancellation and refund privileges with respect to maintenance/warranty services lapse as to any period during the term of the agreement for which such services shave already been provided. Customers do not have the right to a refund of paid fees for maintenance/warranty services that the Company has earned and recognized as revenue. Invoices issued for maintenance/warranty services not yet rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and then recognized as revenue ratably over the service period. As a result (1) the warranty and maintenance service fees payable by each customer are separately accounted for in each customer purchase order as a separate line item, and (2) upon the Company’s receipt and acceptance of a request for refund of maintenance/warranty services not yet provided, the Company’s obligation to perform any additional maintenance/warranty services will end. Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, and returns.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred as part of cost of revenues. These costs were deemed to be nominal during each of the reporting periods.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were deemed to be nominal during each of the reporting periods.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for options granted to employees by measuring the cost of services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based upon the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value of that award is then ratably recognized as expense over the period during which the recipient is required to provide services in exchange for that award.
Options and warrants granted to consultants and other non-employees are recorded at fair value as of the grant date and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period until such options and warrants vest, and the fair value of such instruments, as adjusted, is expensed over the related vesting period.
The Company incurred stock-based compensation charges, net of estimated forfeitures of $1,202,035 and $223,600 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The following table summarizes the nature of such charges for the years then ended:

Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net loss per common share were the same since the inclusion of common shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of options and warrants in the calculation of diluted net loss per common shares would have been anti-dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, and derivative instruments. The Company determines the estimated fair value of such financial instruments presented in these financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. These financial instruments are stated at their respective historical carrying amounts, which approximate fair value due to their short term nature, except derivative instruments which are marked to market at the end of each reporting period.
Derivative Liabilities
In connection with the issuance of a secured convertible promissory note, the terms of the convertible note included an embedded conversion feature; which provided for the settlement of the convertible promissory note into shares of common stock at a rate which was determined to be variable. The Company determined that the conversion feature was an embedded derivative instrument pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.
The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the conversion option and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. As a result of entering into the convertible promissory notes, the Company is required to classify all other non-employee warrants as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date. Any change in fair value was recorded as a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
The fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible unto a fixed number of shares is recorded using the intrinsic value method and the embedded conversion option that is convertible into at variable amount of shares are deemed to be a “down-round protection” and therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815. Since, “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. The Company determined the fair value of the Binomial Lattice Model and the Intrinsic Value Method to be materially the same. Warrants that have been reclassed to derivative liability that did not contain “down-round protection” were valued using the Black-Scholes model. The Company’s outstanding warrants did not contain any down round protection.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to estimate the fair value of the warrants or options granted. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the warrants or options granted.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Segment Reporting
In accordance with ASC 280 “Segment Reporting”, operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our chief decision maker, as defined under the FASB’s guidance, is the Chief Executive Officer. It is determined that the Company operates in three business segments and two geographic segments, Saudi Arabia and the United States.
Reclassification
Certain accounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year’s financial statements. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported earnings.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Other Comprehensive Income." ASU 2013-02 finalized the reporting for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income, which was previously deferred, as discussed below. The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, they do require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. An entity is also required to present on the face of the financials where net income is reported or in the footnotes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. Other amounts need only be cross-referenced to other disclosures required that provide additional detail of these amounts. The amendments in this update are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” Under this new guidance, companies must present this unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to deferred tax assets created by net operating losses or other tax credits from prior periods that occur in the same taxing jurisdiction. If the unrecognized tax benefit exceeds such credits it should be presented in the financial statements as a liability. This update is effective for annual and interim reporting periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates events and/or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date and before the issue date of the consolidated financial statements to determine if any of those events and/or transactions requires adjustment to or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 - Acquisition of the Business of Lilien LLC
On March 20, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Merger Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Lilien LLC and 100% of the stock of Lilien Systems (collectively referred hereafter as “Lilien”) effective as of March 1, 2013. Lilien is an information technology company whose operations complement and significantly expands the Company's current base of business.
Note 3 - Acquisition of the Business of Lilien LLC (continued)
The purchase price of this acquisition aggregated $9,000,000 and consisted of cash of $3,000,000, and 6,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock deemed to have a fair value of $6,000,000. The cash consideration of $3,000,000 was obtained by the Company through a borrowing under a credit facility entered into jointly by Sysorex Government Services, Inc. and Lilien Systems concurrently with and for the express purpose of consummating that acquisition. Total costs incurred for the Lilien acquisition were $907,865 which consisted primarily of professional fees.
Lilien Systems and Sysorex Government Services are co-borrowers on the loan and both guaranteed the debt. As they are part of the consolidated group of the Company no accounting consideration related to the co-guaranty was deemed necessary since such impact, if any, would be eliminated in consolidation.
Additionally, under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is liable to the former members of Lilien LLC for the payment of additional cash consideration on March 20, 2015 to the extent that they receive less than $1.00 per share from the sale of the 6,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock referred to above (the “Guaranteed Amount”), less customary commissions, on or before March 20, 2015, provided the stockholders are in compliance with the terms and conditions of the lock-up agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the gross profits for calendar 2013 and 2014 attributable to the Lilien assets are more than 20% below what was forecasted to the Company, the Guaranteed Amount will be proportionately reduced. As of the date of the acquisition and December 31, 2013 the guaranteed amount was de minimis.
The acquisition of Lilien was accounted for by the Company under the acquisition method of accounting, whereby assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition and the results of operations of the acquired company are consolidated with those of the Company from the date of acquisition. The Company deemed the quoted market prices for those shares not to be a reliable measurement method due to the very limited trading activity in such securities.

Note 4 - Acquisition of Shoom, Inc.
Effective August 31, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the stock of Shoom, a California based provider of cloud based data analytics and enterprise solutions to the media, publishing, and entertainment industries.

Note 6 - Acquisition of AirPatrol Corporation
On December 20, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement of Plan and Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the capital stock of AirPatrol Corporation (“AirPatrol”), a company in the mobile cyber-security and location-based services (LBS) space with leading-edge solutions and proprietary intellectual property, for a purchase price equal to (a) $10,000,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments, allocated to and among certain creditors, payees, holders of AirPatrol’s issued and outstanding capital stock and (b) 4,000,000 shares of Company common stock, of which 1,600,000 shall be held in escrow for one year, as security to satisfy any indemnity claims that may be owed by the AirPatrol shareholders to the Company (the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration also includes an earnout, half of the value of which shall be in stock and the other half in cash (unless otherwise agreed or required pursuant to the Merger Agreement) payable to the shareholders of AirPatrol in 2015 in accordance with the following formula: if for the five quarter period ending March 31, 2015, AirPatrol Net Income meets or exceeds $3,500,000, the Company shall pay to the AirPatrol shareholders an earnout payment equal to (i) AirPatrol Net Income, divided by $5,000,000, times (ii) $10,000,000, provided that the total earnout payment shall not exceed $10,000,000. The closing of the Merger is conditioned upon the consummation of an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock with gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000 on terms acceptable to the Company and certain other customary conditions. The Company can give no assurance that the terms and conditions will be met and the transaction will close.

Pursuant to the terms of the Shoom agreement, the delivery of the Shoom Consideration to each stockholder was subject to the return of certain documentation thus the Company initially recorded the cash consideration to be paid as a non-interest bearing note in the amount of $2,500.000. As of December 31, 2013, $514,476 (inclusive of the $500,000 to be held in escrow) was still payable to the Shoom Shareholders and was recorded by the Company as a note payable with no interest accruing. As of February 15, 2014, only $505,000 (inclusive of the $500,000 to be held in escrow) of the $2,500,000 was still payable to the Shoom shareholders. Post-acquisition the Shoom shareholders collectively own approximately 8% of the Company.
Note 19 - Note Payable to Related Party
On June 15, 2010, the Company entered into a note payable with a director of the Company for $15,000. The note accrued interest at an annual rate of 8% per annum and matured on September 30, 2013.

Note 20 - Secured Convertible Note Payable
On August 7, 2012, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the face amount of $200,000 and received proceeds of $180,000. The Note accrues interest at the effective rate of 32%, is secured by Company receivables, matured on February 7, 2013, and may be prepaid without penalty at any time.
The Note is also convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 45% of the lowest trading price for the common stock at any time during the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of issuance by the holder of a notice of conversion. Therefore, since this embedded conversion feature provides for the settlement of this convertible promissory note with shares of common stock at a rate which is variable in nature, this embedded conversion feature must be classified and accounted for as a derivative financial instrument.
In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company also issued warrants for the purchase of 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.87 per share through July 29, 2014. Therefore, since the embedded conversion feature of the convertible promissory note must be accounted for as a derivative instrument, these warrants must also be accounted for as derivative instruments. As a result of entering into the convertible promissory note described above, all other non-employee warrants issued by the Company must also be classified and accounted for as derivative financial instruments.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that:
Derivative financial instruments be recorded at their fair value on the date of issuance and then adjusted to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date with any change in fair value reported in the statement of operations; and
The classification of derivative financial instruments be reassessed as of each balance sheet date and, if appropriate, be reclassified as a result of events during the reporting period then ended.
Note 20 - Secured Convertible Note Payable (continued)
The fair value of the embedded conversion feature and the warrants, $244,500 and $17,700, respectively, aggregated $262,200. Consequently, upon issuance of the Note, a debt discount of $200,000 was recorded and the difference of $62,200, representing the fair value of the conversion feature and the warrants in excess of the debt discount, was immediately charged to interest expense. The debt discount will be amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. The amortization of debt discount included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $16,667 and $183,333, respectively.
The fair value of the embedded conversion feature and the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
Key assumptions used to apply this pricing model during the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
Risk-free interest rate
|
0.3% | |||
Expected life of option grants
|
0.5 to 2.0 years
|
|||
Expected volatility of underlying stock
|
39% |
Key assumptions used to apply this pricing model during the year ended December 31, 2012 were as follows:
Risk-free interest rate
|
0.3% | |||
Expected life of option grants
|
0.5 to 2.0 years
|
|||
Expected volatility of underlying stock
|
39% |
The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options was determined by the historical volatilities for industry peers and used an average of those volatilities. Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods. The expected life was the contractual life.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company repaid $95,000 of the principal balance due and reclassified $116,097 of the derivative liability to additional paid-in capital. This note payable was paid in full during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Note 21 – Revolving Line of Credit
On March 15, 2013 and in connection with and concurrent with our acquisition of Lilien, Sysorex Government Services, Inc., and Lilien Systems, 100%-owned subsidiaries of Sysorex Global Holdings, Inc., entered into a Business Finance Agreement (the “Agreement”) as co-borrowers (the “Borrowers”) with Bridge Bank, NA (the “Bank”) under which the Borrowers obtained a revolving line of credit for up to $5,000,000 through March 15, 2015. On March 20, 2013, the Borrowers received $4,175,000 under the Agreement. Of that amount, $3,000,000 was paid as consideration in connection with the acquisition of Lilien effective March 1, 2013. The balance of $1,175,000 was utilized to pay the acquisition costs, for the repayment of various notes and short-term debts and to support operations. Terms of the Agreement include compliance with certain debt covenants to include an asset coverage ratio of 1.4 to 1.0, a debt service coverage ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 and performance to plan covenants. During the year ended December 31, 2013 there were instances where the Company was in an overadvance position on the bank credit line and due to a misunderstanding of the terms some of the compliance documents were not filed timely. The Company took corrective action and paid down the line. The bank has waived the defaults and the Company is in compliance. The line of credit incurs interest at the greater of 5.25% or the bank's prime rate plus 2% and matures on March 15, 2015. The interest rate as of December 31, 2013 was 5.25% per annum.
On August 29, 2013 the Company and Bridge Bank entered into Amendment 1 to Bridge Bank’s Business Financing Agreement (“BFA”) dated March 15, 2013 to amend certain sections and for Bridge Bank to waive existing defaults by the Company. The Amendment 1 waived the Asset Coverage Ratio for April 2013 and the Performance to Plan ratio for June 30, 2013. The amendments included an increase to the credit limit to $6,000,000, the Asset Coverage Ratio was amended to be not at any time less than (i) 1.0 to 1.0, tested as at the end of each month, commencing with the month ended July 31, 2013, and (ii) 1.4 to 1.0, tested as at the end of each month, commencing with the month ending September 30, 2013, and the Performance to Plan covenant was amended to state that the combined revenues and net income are not to deviate by more than 20% or $100,000 from the projections of combined revenues and Net Income approved by the boards of directors of the Company and Lilien with respect to the rolling three month period ended on the date of determination, tested as at June 30, 2013, September 30, 2013, and the end of each month thereafter, commencing with the month ending October 31, 2013.
Note 21 – Revolving Line of Credit (continued)
Terms of this agreement require all cash receipts of Sysorex Government Services, Inc. and Lilien Systems to be remitted to a lockbox for application to the balance due in connection with the Agreement. The balance outstanding under this facility was $5,697,590 as of December 31, 2013.
Additionally and concurrently with the Amendment 1 to the BFA, the Company entered into a term loan for $750,000 which accrues interest at the greater of 5.25% or the bank's prime rate plus 2% and matures on August 27, 2016. The bank’s prime rate was 3.25% as of December 31, 2013. The Company will make payments of $41,667 on the first day of each month commencing on February 1, 2014 until the loan amount is paid in full.
The minimum loan payments for the above term loan are as follows:

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had approximately $2.0 million and $4.4 million, respectively, of U.S. federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers available to offset future taxable income. These net operating losses, which, if not utilized, begin expiring in the year 2019. In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, deductibility of the Company’s net operating loss carryover may be subject to an annual limitation in the event of a change of control, as defined by the regulations. The Company performed a preliminary evaluation as to whether a change of control has taken place and concluded that Softlead, Inc. experienced a change of ownership upon the completion of the reverse merger transaction in July 2011. It is estimated that Softlead’s NOLs are subject to an annual limitation of $330,520 for NOLs generated up through the date of the reverse merger in July 2011. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had approximately $950,000 and $400,000 respectively of Saudi Arabian net operating loss carryovers available to offset future taxable income. However, only 25% of taxable income in any given year may be offset by the Company’s NOL carryovers.
No provision was made for U.S. or foreign taxes on the undistributed earnings of Sysorex Arabia, as such earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested. Such earnings have been, and will continue to be, reinvested, but could become subject to additional tax, if they were remitted as dividends, loaned to the Company, or if the Company should sell its stock in Sysorex Arabia. It is not practicable to determine the amount of additional tax, if any, that might be payable on the undistributed foreign earnings.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers, whether it is “more likely than not”, that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible.
ASC 740, “Income Taxes” requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is “more likely than not” that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. After consideration of all the information available, management believes that uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of its deferred tax assets and has, therefore, established a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the change in valuation allowance was $(1,190,983) and $217,972, respectively.
Note 26 - Income Taxes (continued)
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits is to record such interest and penalties as interest expense and as a component of selling, general and administrative expense, respectively. There were no amounts accrued for interest or penalties for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Management does not expect any material changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.
Note 27 - Fair Value
The Company determines the estimated fair value of amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange between buyer and seller. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. These fair value estimates were based upon pertinent information available as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and, as of those dates, the carrying value of all amounts approximates fair value.
The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities at fair value based upon the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 - Inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 - Inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.
Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that are classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category presented in the tables below may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in historical company data) inputs.
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s investment by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of December 31, 2013.

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of derivative liabilities associated with the convertible debt that contains an indeterminable conversion share price and the tainted warrants as the Company cannot determine if it will have sufficient authorized common stock to settle such arrangements.
Assumptions utilized in the development of Level 3 liabilities as of and during the year ended December 31, 2013 are described in Note 20.
The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level III unobservable inputs during the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2013.

Note 28 - Credit Risk and Concentrations
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.
Note 28 - Credit Risk and Concentrations (continued)
The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. Cash is also maintained at a foreign financial institution for its majority-owned subsidiary. Cash in foreign financial institutions as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was immaterial. The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from cash.
As of December 31, 2013, Customer E represented approximately 28%, Customer F represented approximately 14%, and Customer G represented approximately 11% of total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2012, Customer C represented approximately 38%, Customer B represented approximately 29%, Customer D represented approximately 17% and Customer A represented approximately 14% of total accounts receivable.
There were no customers that represented more than 10% of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2013. The following table sets forth the percentages of revenue derived by the Company from those customers which accounted for at least 10% of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2012:

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
Note 30 - Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, a judgment in the amount of $936,330 was levied against Sysorex Arabia LLC in favor of Creative Edge, Inc. in connection with amounts advanced for operations. Of that amount, $214,187 has been repaid, $514,836 will be paid through a surety bond, and the remaining $207,321 has been accrued as advances payable on the consolidated balance sheet by Sysorex Arabia as of December 31, 2013. There was no effect upon the statement of operations in connection with this transaction.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, a judgment in the amount of $613,333 was levied against Sysorex Arabia LLC in favor of one of its vendors (Tuwaiq) in connection with a dispute related to a services contract. However, this vendor owed Sysorex Arabia LLC a like amount in connection with the same services contract. In 2012 the balances were offset, the accounts were settled, and the judgment was released.
Defined Contribution Pension Plan - Sysorex
The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan (“The Sysorex 401k Plan”) covering all of its eligible employees after their completion of six months of service and upon attaining the age of 21. The Sysorex 401k Plan provides that employees can contribute a percentage of their compensation limited to amounts prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, adjusted annually. Matching contributions are made at the discretion of management. No employer-matching contributions were made to the Sysorex 401k Plan for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Defined Contribution Pension Plan-Lilien
The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan (“The Lilien 401k Plan”) covering all of its eligible employees after their completion of three months of service and upon attaining the age of 21. The Lilien 401k Plan provides that employees can contribute a percentage of their compensation limited to amounts prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, adjusted annually. Matching contributions are made at the discretion of management. No employer-matching contributions were made to the Lilien 401k Plan for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Employee Benefit Plan - Shoom
The Company has a defined contribution benefit plan that covers substantially all domestic employees who elect to participate. This plan provides for discretionary Company contributions based on employee participation. Employees must be 21 years or older to participate, have been employed by the Company for three months and worked a minimum of 501 hours. The Company’s matching contribution equals 100% on the first 3% of each participant’s compensation which is deferred as an elective deferral. Employees are 100% vested in the plan after meeting all eligibility requirements (as defined). Company contributions under the plan amounted to $14,251 for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The Company has adopted a profit sharing plan that must be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors annually. All Shoom employees who have been with the Company for at least one year are eligible. Company contributions under the profit sharing plan amounted to $83,333 for the year ended December 2013 which has been accrued for as of December 31, 2013.
Note 30 - Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
Contingent Consideration
Under the terms of the acquisition of Lilien as more fully described in Note 3, the Company is liable for the payment of additional cash consideration to the extent that the recipients of the 6,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock referred to above receive less than $6,000,000 from the sale of those shares, less customary commissions, on or before March 20, 2015. As of the date of the acquisition and December 31, 2013 management considered the guaranteed amount was considered by management to be de minimis.
Statutory Reserve
In accordance with local laws, Sysorex Arabia LLC is required to pay 10% of its net income every year to a statutory reserve account until the balance reaches 50% of its stock capital. This statutory reserve is not applicable for distribution. The Company is obligated to deposit an aggregate of $266,667 into that account based upon its stock capital and, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company has not made any deposits into that account as it is not profitable.
End of Service Indemnity Provision
In accordance with local labor laws, Sysorex Arabia LLC is required to accrue benefits payable to the employees of the Company at the end of their services with the Company. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has accrued approximately $0 and $41,680, respectively.
Quasi-Reorganization
On June 30, 2009, Sysorex Government Services, Inc., in connection with the Company’s expansion into the government services industry, performed a deficit reclassification quasi-reorganization whereby $2,441,960 of the Corporation’s accumulated deficit was reduced by a transfer from the Corporation’s additional paid in capital. Therefore, the Sysorex Government Services’ portion of Retained Earnings on the balance sheet are those Retained Earnings accumulated since July 1, 2009.
Consulting Agreement-Related Party
Effective April 1, 2013, the Company entered into a Consulting Services Ordering Agreement with its Chairman of the Board, Abdus Salam Qureishi. Mr. Qureishi, as the former CEO of the Company, consults on various operations of the Company. The term is for one year, expiring March 31, 2014, unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties. Mr. Qureishi provides services at the rate of $375 per hour. He received $240,000 during 2013 for arranging the Shoom acquisition and consulting on various operations of the Company.
Note 31 - Unaudited Pro Forma Stockholders' Equity
The Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a proposed offering of its securities. The board of directors has been authorized by the Company's stockholders to effect a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of its common stock following the effectiveness of the registration statement and prior to the closing of the offering; provided that the Company anticipates raising sufficient equity to meet the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market. In addition, the assumed reverse split is subject to adjustment depending on the market price of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the consummation of the offering. The unaudited proforma stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2013 gives effect to the assumed 1-for-2 reverse stock split (see Note 32).
Since the 1-for-2 reverse stock split is to be effected after the effectiveness of the registration statement, the historical share information included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes hereto do not assume the 1-for-2 reverse stock split, and accordingly have not been adjusted.
Note 32 – Reverse Stock Split
On December 6, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors, and on November 18, 2013, stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting power, approved resolutions authorizing the Board of Directors to effect a reverse split of the Company’s common stock at an exchange ratio of 1-for-2, subject to the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 in connection with its initial public offering simultaneous with a listing of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. In addition, the reverse split ratio is subject to adjustment depending on the market price of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the consummation of the offering to permit the Company to exceed the minimum share price requirement of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Note 33 - Subsequent Events
On January 24, 2014, the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock under the terms of a consulting services agreement which were fully vested upon date of grant.
On February 26, 2014 the Company issued 800,000 shares of common stock at $2.60/share for $2,080,000 in equity financing from a strategic investor.
On January 27, 2014 the Company granted options for the purchase of 20,000 shares of common stock to an employee. These options have a four year vesting schedule, have a life of ten years and an exercise price of $2.37 per share. The Company valued the stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the fair value of the award was $16,600. The fair value of the common stock as of grant date was $2.03/share.
Master Services Agreement
The Company entered into a Master Service Agreement (the “MSA”) on February 24, 2014, with Geneseo d/b/a ColoHub, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase certain telecommunications and related infrastructure services from Geneseo, including leasing 1,000 square feet of data center space for $17,500 per month, plus power, beginning on April 1, 2014, to be used initially by the Company and subsequently for resale to the Company’s customers.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business
Overview
AirPatrol Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary AirPatrol Research, (collectively the “Company”), is a developer of mobile device identification and locationing systems. Its flagship product, ZoneDefense, is a security platform for wireless and cellular networks that can detect, monitor and manage the behavior of smartphones, tablets, laptops and other mobile devices based on their location. AirPatrol customers include numerous government and military agencies and large enterprises around the globe. The Company was incorporated on July 28, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is headquartered in the state of Maryland, has an office in the state of California, and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary operates in Canada.
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of the Company’s operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and footnotes for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 included in the Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2014.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s complete accounting policies are described in Note 3 to the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting records of the Company and its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, AirPatrol Research Corp. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates are the allowance for doubtful accounts, useful life of fixed assets, valuation of stock-based compensation, derivative liabilities, and the valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset.
Inventory
Inventory consisting primarily of finished goods and raw materials is stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The Company continually analyzes its slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories and establishes reserves based on historical and projected sales volumes and anticipated selling prices. If the Company does not meet its sales expectations, these reserves are increased. Products that are determined to be obsolete are written down to net realizable value. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has determined such reserve to be immaterial.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) and its components in its consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments affecting stockholders’ equity that, under U.S. GAAP, are excluded from net loss. The difference between net loss as reported and comprehensive income (loss) have historically been immaterial.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Canadian Dollar is the functional currency of the AirPatrol Research Corporation. Assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rates at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income.
Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, including intercompany transactions, are included in results of operations.
Translation gains and losses were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are comprised of the following:

|
86,365 | 70,053 | ||||||
Total

$ | 277,181 | $ | 109,037 |
Revenues are derived principally from the sale of hardware products, software bundled with hardware that is essential to the functionality of the hardware and support and maintenance arrangements to customers in the United States and internationally. The Company recognizes the revenue on sales of hardware once four criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the price is fixed and determinable, (3) delivery (software and hardware) or fulfillment (maintenance) has occurred, and (4) there is reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds.
The Company also enters into sales transactions whereby customer orders contain multiple deliverable arrangements, and reports its multiple deliverable arrangements under ASC 605-25 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“ASC-605-25”). The Company evaluates each deliverable in these arrangements to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting at the inception of the arrangement and considers the delivered items a separate unit of accounting if the delivered item(s) has value to the customer when it is regularly sold on a standalone basis, and there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s) pursuant to Subtopic 605-25. These multiple deliverable arrangements primarily consist of the following deliverables: computer hardware, software, and hardware and software maintenance services. In situations where the Company bundles all or a portion of the separate elements, Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) is determined based on prices when sold separately. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 revenues recognized as a result of customer contracts requiring the delivery of multiple elements were $277,181 and $109,037 respectively.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition (continued)
Maintenance agreements allow customers to obtain technical support directly from the Company to upgrade, at no additional cost, to the latest technology if new software updates are introduced during the period that the maintenance agreement is in effect. Revenue derived from maintenance contracts primarily consists of maintenance contracts with initial contractual periods ranging from one to three years with renewal for additional periods thereafter. The Company generally bills maintenance fees in advance. The Company recognizes maintenance revenue ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement. In situations where the Company bundles all or a portion of the maintenance fee with products, VSOE for maintenance is determined based on prices when sold separately.
The Company will occasionally require an upfront deposit for significant arrangements. If the Company receives a payment from a customer prior to meeting all of the revenue recognition criteria, the payment is recorded as deferred revenue.
Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net loss per common share were the same since the inclusion of common shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of options and warrants, conversion of convertible notes payable, and shares issued to members of the Board of Directors of the Company for services rendered in the calculation of diluted net loss per common shares would have been anti-dilutive.
The following table summarizes the number of common shares and common share equivalents excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (ASU 2014-08) in April 2014. This new standard raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations, allows companies to have significant continuing involvement and continuing cash flows and provides for new and additional disclosures of discontinued operations and individually material disposal transactions. The Company anticipates adopting the new standard when it becomes effective in the first quarter of 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-08 to have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the ASU on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the ASU on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates events and/or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date and before the issue date of the condensed consolidated financial statements to determine if any of those events and/or transactions requires adjustment to or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, short term debt and derivative instruments. The Company determines the estimated fair value of such financial instruments presented in these financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. These financial instruments are stated at their respective historical carrying amounts, which approximate fair value due to their short term nature, except derivative instruments which are marked to market at the end of each reporting period.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Derivative Liabilities
In connection with the issuance of a secured convertible promissory note, the terms of the convertible note included an embedded conversion feature; which provided for the settlement of the convertible promissory note into shares of common stock at a rate which was determined to be variable. The Company determined that the conversion feature was an embedded derivative instrument pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.
The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the conversion option and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. As a result of entering into the convertible promissory notes, the Company is required to classify all other non-employee warrants as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date. Any change in fair value was recorded as a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
The fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible unto a fixed number of shares is recorded using the intrinsic value method and the embedded conversion option that is convertible into at variable amount of shares is deemed to be a “down-round protection” and therefore, does not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815. “Down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and therefore cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. As a result, warrants that have been reclassified to derivative liability that did not contain “down-round protection” were valued using the Black-Scholes model. The Company’s outstanding warrants did not contain any down round protection.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model which approximated the Binomial Lattice Model is used to estimate the fair value of the warrants or options granted. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the warrants or options granted.

Note 5 - Fair Value
The Company determines the estimated fair value of amounts presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange between buyer and seller. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. These fair value estimates were based upon pertinent information available as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. As of those dates, the carrying value of all amounts approximates fair value.
The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities at fair value based upon the following fair value hierarchy:
●
|
Level 1 - Inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
|
●
|
Level 2 - Inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
|
●
|
Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.
|
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.
Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that are classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category presented in the tables below may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in historical company data) inputs.

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of derivative liabilities associated with the convertible debt that contains an indeterminable conversion share price and the tainted warrants as the Company cannot determine if it will have sufficient authorized common stock to settle such arrangements.
Assumptions utilized in the development of Level 3 liabilities as of and during the year ended March 31, 2014 are described in Note 9 of the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Note 6 - Credit Risk and Concentrations
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits at financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to certain limits. Cash is also maintained at a foreign financial institution for its majority-owned subsidiary which had a balance of approximately $1,000 as of March 31, 2014. The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from cash.
As of March 31, 2014, Customer F represented 100% of total accounts receivable.

Litigation
From time to time the Company is subject to litigation in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the Company has adequate insurance coverage and accrues loss contingencies for all known matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated and that the resolution of any such items will not have a material effect upon the Company's financial position or results of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company has not been involved in any litigation.
Note 9 - Subsequent Events
On December 20, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement of Plan and Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) whereby Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. (“Sysorex”) would acquire 100% of the capital stock of the Company for a purchase price equal to (a) $10,000,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments, allocated to and among certain creditors, payees, holders of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock and (b) 4,000,000 shares of Sysorex’s common stock, of which 1,600,000 shall be held in escrow for one year, as security to satisfy any indemnity claims that may be owed by the Company’s shareholders to Sysorex (the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration also includes an earnout, half of the value of which shall be in stock and the other half in cash (unless otherwise agreed or required pursuant to the Merger Agreement) payable to the shareholders of the Company in 2015 in accordance with the following formula: if for the five quarter period ending March 31, 2015, the Company’s Net Income meets or exceeds $3,500,000, Sysorex shall pay to the Company’s shareholders an earnout payment equal to (i) the Company’s Net Income, divided by $5,000,000, times (ii) $10,000,000, provided that the total earnout payment shall not exceed $10,000,000. The closing of the Merger is conditioned upon the consummation of an initial public offering of Sysorex’s common stock with gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000 on terms acceptable to Sysorex and certain other customary conditions. The acquisition was completed on April 21, 2014 with an effective date of April 16, 2014.
Pursuant to a loan agreement dated as of August 30, 2013, Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. loaned AirPatrol $1,000,000 evidenced by a secured promissory note due April 29, 2014, as amended on February 28, 2014. Upon the closing of the merger on April 18, 2014, the note became due and payable. On the closing date, AirPatrol repaid the principal and interest of the note totaling $1,047,781 as a deduction from merger consideration, consisting of $1,000,000 in principal and $47,781 in interest.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of
AirPatrol Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AirPatrol Corporation and its Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AirPatrol Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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 Company has had recurring losses, and has a working capital and shareholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s 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.

Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business
Overview
AirPatrol Corporation and AirPatrol Research (collectively the “Company”), is a developer of mobile device identification and locationing systems. Its flagship product, ZoneDefense, is a security platform for wireless and cellular networks that can detect, monitor and manage the behavior of smartphones, tablets, laptops and other mobile devices based on their location. AirPatrol customers include numerous government and military agencies and large enterprises around the globe. The Company was incorporated on July 28, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is headquartered in the state of Maryland, has an office in the state of California, and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary operates in Canada.
Acquisition of AirPatrol Corporation
On December 20, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement of Plan and Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) whereby Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. (“Sysorex”) would acquire 100% of the capital stock of the Company for a purchase price equal to (a) $10,000,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments, allocated to and among certain creditors, payees, holders of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock and (b) 4,000,000 shares of Sysorex’s common stock, of which 1,600,000 shall be held in escrow for one year, as security to satisfy any indemnity claims that may be owed by the Company’s shareholders to Sysorex (the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration also includes an earnout, half of the value of which shall be in stock and the other half in cash (unless otherwise agreed or required pursuant to the Merger Agreement) payable to the shareholders of the Company in 2015 in accordance with the following formula: if for the five quarter period ending March 31, 2015, the Company’s Net Income meets or exceeds $3,500,000, Sysorex shall pay to the Company’s shareholders an earnout payment equal to (i) the Company’s Net Income, divided by $5,000,000, times (ii) $10,000,000, provided that the total earnout payment shall not exceed $10,000,000. The closing of the Merger is conditioned upon the consummation of an initial public offering of Sysorex’s common stock with gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000 on terms acceptable to Sysorex and certain other customary conditions. The Company can give no assurance that the terms and conditions will be met and the transaction will close.
Note 2 - Going Concern Matters
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has recurring net losses and incurred a net loss and used net cash in operations of $3,755,686 and $2,337,647, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $22,916,380 as of December 31, 2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of operations. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur additional liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence. If the Company were not to continue as a going concern, it would likely not be able to realize on its assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the financial statements. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating additional cash from equity or other sources to be used for operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all operational activities and/or contemplate the sale of its assets if necessary.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting records of the Company and its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, AirPatrol Research Corp. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
F-86
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates are the valuation of stock-based compensation, derivative liabilities, and the valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, checking accounts, money market accounts and temporary investments, with maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company had no cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivables are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts receivables are not overstated due to uncollectibility. Bad debt reserves are maintained for various customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings, or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was not material.
Inventory
Inventory consisting primarily of finished goods and raw materials is stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The Company continually analyzes its slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories and establishes reserves based on historical and projected sales volumes and anticipated selling prices. If the Company does not meet its sales expectations, these reserves are increased. Products that are determined to be obsolete are written down to net realizable value. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has not recorded an allowance for inventory.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company depreciates its property and equipment for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset, or the initial lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the economic useful life of the related assets, are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures, which extend the economic life, are capitalized. When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposal is recognized.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, when there are indications that the assets might be impaired. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If an asset’s carrying value exceeds such estimated cash flows (undiscounted and with interest charges), the Company records an impairment charge for the difference.
Based on its assessments, the Company did not record any impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
F-87
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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 the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Income tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will either expire before the Company is able to realize the benefit, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
Deferred Rent Expense
The Company has operating leases which contain predetermined increases and rent holidays in the rentals payable during the term of such leases. For these leases, the aggregate rental expense over the lease term is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The difference between the expense charged to operations in any year and the amount payable under the lease during that year is recorded as deferred rent expense on the Company’s balance sheet, which will reverse over the lease term.
Foreign Currency Translation
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Revenues and expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at rates approximating exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Translation exchange gains and losses resulting from the period-end translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in other comprehensive income or loss, on the statement of equity. Transaction gains or losses are recognized through earnings.
Transaction and translation gains and losses were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) and its components in its consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments affecting stockholders’ equity that, under U.S. GAAP, are excluded from net loss. The difference between net loss as reported and comprehensive income (loss) have historically been immaterial.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are comprised of the following:
Year Ended

||||||||

||||||||

Installation and training
|
113,169 | 26,329 | ||||||
Total
|
$ | 1,362,572 | $ | 719,970 |
Revenues are derived principally from the sale of hardware products, software bundled with hardware that is essential to the functionality of the hardware and support and maintenance arrangements to customers in the United States and internationally. The Company recognizes the revenue on sales of hardware once four criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the price is fixed and determinable, (3) delivery (software and hardware) or fulfillment (maintenance) has occurred, and (4) there is reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds.
F-88
The Company also enters into sales transactions whereby customer orders contain multiple deliverable arrangements, and reports its multiple deliverable arrangements under ASC 605-25 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“ASC-605-25”). The Company evaluates each deliverable in these arrangements to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting at the inception of the arrangement and considers the delivered items a separate unit of accounting if the delivered item(s) has value to the customer when it is regularly sold on a standalone basis, and there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s) pursuant to Subtopic 605-25. These multiple deliverable arrangements primarily consist of the following deliverables: computer hardware, software, and hardware and software maintenance services. In situations where the Company bundles all or a portion of the separate elements, Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) is determined based on prices when sold separately. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 revenues recognized as a result of customer contracts requiring the delivery of multiple elements were $1,362,572 and $719,970 respectively.
Maintenance agreements allow customers to obtain technical support directly from the Company to upgrade, at no additional cost, to the latest technology if new software updates are introduced during the period that the maintenance agreement is in effect. Revenue derived from maintenance contracts primarily consists of maintenance contracts with initial contractual periods ranging from one to three years with renewal for additional periods thereafter. The Company generally bills maintenance fees in advance. The Company recognizes maintenance revenue ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement. In situations where the Company bundles all or a portion of the maintenance fee with products, VSOE for maintenance is determined based on prices when sold separately.
The Company will occasionally require an upfront deposit for significant arrangements. If the Company receives a payment from a customer prior to meeting all of the revenue recognition criteria, the payment is recorded as deferred revenue.
Engineering, Research and Development
Engineering, research and development costs consist primarily of professional fees. All engineering, research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were deemed to be nominal during each of the reporting periods.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in Cost of Revenue on the consolidated statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for options and warrants granted to employees by measuring the cost of services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based upon the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value of that award is then ratably recognized as expense over the period during which the recipient is required to provide services in exchange for that award.
Options and warrants granted to consultants and other non-employees are recorded at fair value as of the grant date and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period until such options and warrants vest, and the fair value of such instruments, as adjusted, is expensed over the related vesting period.
F-89
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company incurred stock-based compensation charges of $68,903 and $91,928 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The following table summarizes the nature of such charges which are included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net loss per common share were the same since the inclusion of common shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of options and warrants, conversion of convertible notes payable, and shares issued to members of the Board of Directors of the Company for services rendered in the calculation of diluted net loss per common shares would have been anti-dilutive.
The following table summarizes the number of common shares and common share equivalents excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, short term debt and derivative instruments. The Company determines the estimated fair value of such financial instruments presented in these financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. These financial instruments are stated at their respective historical carrying amounts, which approximate fair value due to their short term nature, except derivative instruments which are marked to market at the end of each reporting period.
Derivative Liabilities
In connection with the issuance of a secured convertible promissory note, the terms of the convertible note included an embedded conversion feature; which provided for the settlement of the convertible promissory note into shares of common stock at a rate which was determined to be variable. The Company determined that the conversion feature was an embedded derivative instrument pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.
The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the conversion option and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. As a result of entering into the convertible promissory notes, the Company is required to classify all other non-employee warrants as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date. Any change in fair value was recorded as a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
F-90
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible unto a fixed number of shares is recorded using the intrinsic value method and the embedded conversion option that is convertible into at variable amount of shares is deemed to be a “down-round protection” and therefore, does not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815. “Down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and therefore cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. As a result, warrants that have been reclassified to derivative liability that did not contain “down-round protection” were valued using the Black-Scholes model. The Company’s outstanding warrants did not contain any down round protection.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model which approximated the Binomial Lattice Model is used to estimate the fair value of the warrants or options granted. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the warrants or options granted.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates events and/or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date and before the issue date of the condensed consolidated financial statements to determine if any of those events and/or transactions require adjustment to or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 4 – Certificate of Deposit - Restricted
Restricted cash as of December 31, 2013 included cash on deposit with the Company’s clearing organization.

Note 7 – Loans Payable – Related Party
On February 12, 2013 and April 9, 2013, the Chairman of the Board and largest shareholder of the Company loaned the Company $100,000 and $50,000, respectively. The loans accrue interest at a rate of 30% per annum and mature on the earlier of the one year anniversary of the loan or a change of control of the Company as defined in the agreement. During October 2013 the Company repaid $80,932 of the February advance of $100,000. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding balances of principal and accrued interest of $19,068 and $1,411 and $50,000 and $10,932 due to the related party on the February and April advances, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued secured convertible promissory notes (“2013 Notes”) and received proceeds of approximately $1,430,000. The 2013 Notes accrue interest at the rates of 8% and 20%, are secured by the assets of the Company and mature on various dates through June 30, 2016. In July 2013, the Company repaid one of the convertible notes which had an outstanding balance of $250,000.
|
In connection with the issuance of the 2013 Notes and the $250,000 unsecured note, the Company also issued warrants for the purchase of 2,769,004 and 532,510 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $0.28 per share through June 30, 2016. Therefore, since the embedded conversion feature of the convertible promissory note must be accounted for as a derivative instrument, these warrants must also be accounted for as derivative instruments. As a result of entering into the convertible promissory notes described above, all other non-employee warrants issued by the Company must also be classified and accounted for as derivative financial instruments.

Note 9 - Convertible Note Payable (continued)
The Notes are also convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of the lower of $0.28 per share or the per share price from a new offering. Therefore, since this embedded conversion feature provides for the settlement of this convertible promissory note with shares of common stock at a rate which is variable in nature, this embedded conversion feature must be classified and accounted for as a derivative financial instrument. During 2012, the Company issued a total of 5,743,133 shares of common stock to note holders upon the settlement of unsecured notes of principal of $1,490,000 and accrued interest of $127,754.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued secured convertible promissory notes (“2012 Notes”) and received proceeds of $1,330,000. The 2012 Notes accrue interest at the rate of 20%, are secured by the assets of the Company, matured on December 31, 2012, and could be prepaid without penalty at any time. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was not in compliance with the terms of these notes due to non-payment of principal and interest. However, the note holders have not issued to the Company a formal notice of default.
|
In connection with the issuance of the 2012 Notes, the Company also issued warrants for the purchase of 8,271,650 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.28 per share through June 28, 2017. Therefore, since the embedded conversion feature of the convertible promissory note must be accounted for as a derivative instrument, these warrants must also be accounted for as derivative instruments. As a result of entering into the convertible promissory note described above, all other non-employee warrants issued by the Company must also be classified and accounted for as derivative financial instruments.
|
|
On January 24, 2012 and March 12, 2012, the Company entered into two unsecured convertible notes payable agreements with the same party for gross proceeds of $1,000,000. The notes accrued interest 8% per annum and were converted on December 30, 2012 to 3,796,721 shares of common stock. The Company also entered into a third unsecured convertible notes payable agreement for $250,000. This note accrues interest at 8% per annum and matures on June 30, 2016.

|

|
During the year ended December 31, 2012, $490,000 of the 2011 Notes were converted to common stock.
|
The Notes are also convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of the lower of $0.28 per share or the per share price from a new offering. Therefore, since this embedded conversion feature provides for the settlement of this convertible promissory note with shares of common stock at a rate which is variable in nature, this embedded conversion feature must be classified and accounted for as a derivative financial instrument. During 2012, the Company issued a total of 5,743,133 shares of common stock to note holders upon the settlement of unsecured notes of principal of $1,490,000 and accrued interest of $127,754.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that:
a)
|
Derivative financial instruments be recorded at their fair value on the date of issuance and then adjusted to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date with any change in fair value reported in the statement of operations; and
|
b)
|
The classification of derivative financial instruments be reassessed as of each balance sheet date and, if appropriate, be reclassified as a result of events during the reporting period then ended.
|
The fair value of the Notes’ embedded conversion feature and the warrants, $74,065 and $531,146, respectively, aggregated $605,211. Consequently, upon issuance of the 2013 and 2012 Notes, debt discounts of $207,238 and $3,504 were recorded and the differences of $41,250 and $638, representing the fair value of the conversion feature and the warrants in excess of the debt discount, were immediately charged to interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The debt discount will be amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were unamortized debt discounts of $168,222 and $2,234 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Note 9 - Convertible Note Payable (continued)
The fair value of the embedded conversion feature and the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which was not materially different from the binomial lattice model. Key assumptions used to apply this pricing model during the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
Risk-free interest rate
|
0.25% to 3.77%
|
Expected life of option grants
|
0 to 4.8 years
|
Expected volatility of underlying stock
|
41% to 47%
|
Dividends
|

|
Key assumptions used to apply this pricing model during the year ended December 31, 2012 were as follows:
Risk-free interest rate
|
1.22% to 1.60%
|
Expected life of option grants
|
0 to 4.5 years
|
Expected volatility of underlying stock
|
34%
|
Dividends
|
$0
|
The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options was determined by the historical volatilities for industry peers and used an average of those volatilities. Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods. The options have expected lives ranging from 0 to 5 years and contractual lives of 10 years.
The Company’s minimum debt payments with respect to related party payable, notes payable and convertible notes payable are as follows:

No provision was made for U.S. or foreign taxes on the undistributed earnings of AirPatrol Research as such earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested. Such earnings have been and will continue to be, reinvested, but could become subject to additional tax, if they were remitted as dividends, loaned to the Company, or if the Company should sell its stock in AirPatrol Research. It is not practicable to determine the amount of additional tax, if any, that might be payable on the undistributed foreign earnings.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, Management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the change in the valuation allowance was approximately $1,030,110 and $1,366,388.
The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the company has taken or expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740.
If applicable, interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated and would be classified as “Other expenses – Interest” in the statements of operation. Penalties would be recognized as a component of “General and administrative.”
No interest or penalties were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.
The Company files tax returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions and is subject to examination by tax authorities beginning with the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company also files tax returns in Canada and is subject to examination by tax authorities beginning with the year ended December 31, 2010.

Note 14 - Fair Value
The Company determines the estimated fair value of amounts presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange between buyer and seller. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. These fair value estimates were based upon pertinent information available as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. As of those dates, the carrying value of all amounts approximates fair value.
The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities at fair value based upon the following fair value hierarchy:
● | Level 1 - | Inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. |
● | Level 2 - | Inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. |
● | Level 3 - |
Inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability. |
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.
Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that are classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category presented in the tables below may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in historical company data) inputs.
The following are the major categories of assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value during the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of derivative liabilities associated with the convertible debt that contains an indeterminable conversion share price and the tainted warrants as the Company cannot determine if it will have sufficient authorized common stock to settle such arrangements.

Note 15 - Credit Risk and Concentrations
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits at financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to certain limits. Cash is also maintained at a foreign financial institution for its majority-owned subsidiary which had a balance of approximately $17,000 as of December 31, 2013. The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from cash.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company earned revenues from two customers representing approximately 50% and 16% of gross sales. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company earned revenues from one customer representing approximately 45% of gross sales.
As of December 31, 2013, five customers represented approximately 37%, 19%, 15%, 12% and 10% of total gross accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2012, one customer represented approximately 97% of total gross accounts receivable.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, one vendor represented approximately 87% of total purchases. During the year ended December 31, 2012, two vendors represented approximately 50% and 37% of total purchases.
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, two vendors represented approximately 60% and 13% of total gross accounts payable. As of December 31, 2012, one vendor represented approximately 69% of total gross accounts payable.

Note 17 - Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
During 2013, the Company entered into two new lease agreements for its Maryland (US) and Canadian locations. The Maryland lease commenced on January 1, 2014 and expires on December 31, 2018. The lease calls for monthly payments of $13,708 plus common area maintenance fees along with annual increases of 3% during the term of the lease. The lease may be extended for an additional five year period. The lease of the Canadian location commenced on November 1, 2013 and expires on September 30, 2018. The lease requires fixed monthly payments of $7,018 plus common area maintenance fees for the first two years of the agreement. The last three years of the agreement call for fixed monthly payments of $7,558 plus common area maintenance fees totaling approximately $138,250 per year. The leases may be extended for an additional five year period.
The operating leases provide for annual real estate tax and cost of living increases and contain predetermined increases in the rentals payable during the term of the lease. The aggregate rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The difference between the expense charged to operations in any year and amounts payable under the lease during that year is recorded as deferred rent expense which will reverse over the lease term.
As of December 31, 2013, deferred rent was $41,587. As of December 31, 2012, deferred rent payable was immaterial. Rental expense under the operating leases for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $156,197 and $103,884, respectively.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that we may indemnify our officers and directors against losses or liabilities which arise in their corporate capacity. The effect of these provisions could be to dissuade lawsuits against our officers and directors.
The Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.7502 provides that:
1) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) Is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) Acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
2) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) Is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) Acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
3) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.
The Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.751 provides that:
1) Any discretionary indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Section 78.751 subsection 2; may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made: (a) By the stockholders; (b) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
2) The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.
3) The indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section: (a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to NRS 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 2, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action, and, (b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Our Corporate By-Laws at Article X, provide that the Corporation has accepted a provision indemnifying to the full extent permitted by the law, thereby eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, officers, employees or corporate agents for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, but such provision must not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for (a) Acts or omissions involving willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud, or knowing violation of law; or (b) the payments of distributions in violation of Nevada Revised Statute 78.300.
INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 MAY BE PERMITTED TO OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND CONTROLLING PERSONS PURSUANT TO THE FORGOING PROVISIONS OR OTHERWISE, WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT, IN THE OPINION OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, SUCH INDEMNIFICATION IS AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY AS EXPRESSED IN THAT ACT AND IS, THEREFORE, UNENFORCEABLE.

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
