NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Nature of Operations

 

Reliability Incorporated (“Reliability” or the “Company”; references herein to the Company include both Reliability and its wholly-owned, consolidated subsidiary, Maslow) is a leading provider of employer of record (“EOR”) and temporary staffing services for media and information technology (“IT”) that operates, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, The Maslow Media, Inc., (“MMG” or “Maslow”), primarily within the United States of America (the “U.S.”) in three industry segments: Employer of Record (“EOR”), Staffing and Video Production segment which provides script to screen media talent. EOR which is a unique workforce management solution, represents 78.4% of the year to date revenue. Our Staffing segment provides skilled field talent on a nationwide basis for IT and finance and accounting projects. Our staffing includes revenue derived from permanent placement. Video Production involves assembling and providing crews for special projects that can last anywhere from a week to six months.

 

Reliability was incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas in 1953, but the then principal business of the Company started in 1971 was closed down in 2007. The Company completed a reverse merger with MMG (the “Merger”) on October 29, 2019 via the merger agreement filed with the SEC (“Merger Agreement”).

 

The Company acquired the customer contracts and trade receivables and assumed certain liabilities of Intelligent Quality Solutions (“IQS”) in exchange for a reduction of notes receivable from Vivos Holdings LLC (“Vivos Holdings”), the previous sole shareholder of MMG, (the “IQS Acquisition”) on December 1, 2019. The owners of Vivos Holdings and their transferees who were issued shares of Reliability Common Stock as consideration in the Merger include Naveen Doki, Silvija Valleru, Shirisha Janumpally (through Judos Trust and Federal Systems), and Kalyan Pathuri (through Igly Trust) who together own approximately 84.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Reliability Common Stock and are referred to herein as “Vivos” or the “Vivos Shareholders.”

 

This IQS Acquisition has enabled Maslow to expand its staffing capabilities into the IT realm.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its only 100% owned subsidiary, MMG. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Theses unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q. Operating results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of financial results for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In preparing these unaudited consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, recoverability of notes receivable, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, loss contingencies, allocation of purchase price in connection with business combinations, valuation allowances for deferred income taxes, and the assumptions used for web site development cost classifications.

 

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts in the 2019 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, 27.7% and 27.6%, respectively of revenue came from AT&T Services, Inc. (inclusive of its DirecTV division) (“AT&T”) and 10.0 % and 11.0%, respectively from Janssen Pharmaceuticals (which includes workforce partners Johnson & Johnson). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, 38.5% and 38.2%, respectively of revenue came from AT&T. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, 12.1% was from WETA. No other client exceeded 10% of revenues.

 

AT&T, Janssen, and Goldman Sachs accounted for 37.1%, 17.4%, and 14.3%, respectively of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2019, AT&T and Janssen accounted for 63.3% and 10.8% of accounts receivable, respectively.

 

NOTE 2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. On May 5, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), MMG received the proceeds of a loan pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) with TBK Bank, SSB (“Lender”), in the amount of $5,216 (the “PPP Loan”). The Paycheck Protection Program was established under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The Lender’s affiliate, Advance Business Capital LLC (d/b/a Triumph Business Capital), is currently the Company’s factor under its existing Factoring and Security Agreement, dated November 4, 2016, as amended and modified.

 

The Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (“PPPFA”) signed into law on June 5, 2020, resulted in the SBA issuing two revisions on June 11 and June 12, 2020 to the First Interim Final Rule, which was originally posted on the Treasury and SBA websites on April 2, 2020 and published in the Federal Register on April 15, 2020 (85 Fed. Reg. 20,811).

 

As of September 30, 2020, 100% of the PPP funds had been utilized with 99% covering payroll costs. The Company believes that the funds have been employed to achieve a high level of forgiveness. Although the Company believes that a significant portion of the PPP Loan will be forgiven, no assurance can be given that any of such PPP Loan will, in fact, be forgiven.

 

In the third quarter of 2020, the Company made required repayments of principal and interest of approximately $806 pursuant to the Convertible Notes described in Note 4 below. Thus, with interest, the total bridge loan debt serviced was $946.

 

The Company’s ongoing liquidity position has experienced additional pressures due to the loss of business resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic. In the second quarter of 2020, the business saw a year over year comparative drop in revenue by 46%, attributable in large part to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. In the third quarter of 2020, that loss dwindled to approximately 28%, as the Company generated $6,201 in third quarter revenue. This improved total, however, was 38% lower than the third quarter of 2019.

 

If business does not return to historical levels, a significant portion of the PPP loan is not forgiven, or if other challenges facing the Company are not resolved favorably, the Company may cease to continue as a going concern.

(amounts in thousands, except per share data)

 

As part of its response management has invested in business development in order to increase client workforce needs and has worked to eliminate non-essential general and administrative costs. The Company continues to face pressure to make cash payments pursuant to the Settlement Agreements (filed as exhibits 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 30, 2019) prior to the Company’s anticipated liquidation of the shares of Company Common Stock pledged pursuant to the Agreement for the Contingent Liquidation of the Common Stock of Reliability Incorporated (as successor in interest to Maslow Media Group, Inc.), dated October 28, 2019 (the “Liquidation Agreement”) (filed as exhibit 10.30 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 30, 2019). The Vivos Shareholders that are the counterparties to the Liquidation Agreement are not cooperating with the Company to liquidate the shares subject thereto, and the shares underlying the Liquidation Agreement itself may not be properly held as claimed in the Arbitration (defined below). No assurance can be given that the beneficiaries of the Settlement Agreement will continue to forebear.

 

No assurance can be given that the Company will return to its pre-Pandemic revenue levels, how long it will take to enforce the requirements of the Liquidation Agreement, the Company’s ability to utilize capital markets, and the actual amount of PPP Loan forgiveness. As a result, the Company may face hurdles in maintaining sufficient liquidity to continue operations, in which case the Company might be forced to liquidate or seek to reorganize under applicable bankruptcy statutes.

 

The Company is quoted on the OTC Marketplace under the symbol “RLBY”.

 

NOTE 3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new guidance on disclosures related to fair value measurements. The guidance is intended to improve the effectiveness of the notes to financial statements by facilitating clearer communication, and it includes multiple new, eliminated, and modified disclosure requirements. The guidance was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance on the accounting for internal-use software. The guidance aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a cloud computing arrangement that is a service arrangement with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. The guidance was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance on income taxes. The guidance removes certain exceptions to the general income tax accounting principles and clarifies and amends existing guidance to facilitate consistent application of the accounting principles. The new guidance is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2021. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 4. DEBT

 

Convertible Debt

 

The Company had convertible notes payable (“Convertible Notes”) in the amount of $802 as of June 30, 2020 and $890 as of December 31, 2019, respectively, pursuant to a convertible debt offering that commenced June 13, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, the balance was zero ($0) as all note payments have been satisfied. The offering was conducted pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder. The notes bore interest at 12% per year, with the balance due and payable within 1 year from the issuance date, unless earlier converted into shares of Company Common Stock. Warrants, issued in connection with these notes, can only be exercised if the proceeds of $5,000 are obtained by the Company from the sale of equity securities within 5 years of issuance.

Other Debt

 

In February 2020, the Company took out a $250 6-month term loan from Triumph Business Capital (“Triumph”) at 10% per annum, in order to meet the Company’s cash obligations (“Triumph Term Loan”). On April 7, 2020, in the face of the COVID 19 lockdown, Triumph offered a 2-month payment holiday and to extend the note payment, which ultimately was agreed to end in February 2021. As of September 30, 2020, $117 was outstanding under the Triumph Term Loan arrangement.

 

Tax Liabilities

 

When the Maslow Media Group was initially acquired by Vivos Holdings in December 2016, Maslow’s corporate status was changed from an S Corp to a C Corp due to its new ownership structure. This triggered an accelerated tax event, a $215 estimated annual impact per year, for four years, that the Company is working with the IRS to pay off. As of September 30, 2020, the tax liability was $258 compared to $817 as of December 31, 2019.

 

Factoring Facilities

 

Triumph Business Capital

 

On November 4, 2016, the Company entered into a factoring and security agreement with Triumph. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company received advances on its accounts receivable (i.e. invoices) through Triumph to fund growth and operations. The proceeds of this agreement were used to pay operating costs of the business which included employee salaries, vendor payments and overhead expenses. On January 5, 2018, the agreement was amended to lower the factoring fee and interest rate for a term of one year. The agreement was amended again on January 19, 2018, to increase the maximum advance rate to $5,500. In January 2020, a new agreement was negotiated with Triumph lowering advance rate from 18 basis points to 15 and the interest rate from prime plus 2.5% to prime plus 2%. The portion of an invoice eligible for sale to Triumph went from 90% to 93%. The agreement which previously renewed annually, is now month to month. The Company continues to be obligated to meet certain financial covenants in respect to invoicing and reserve account balances.

 

In accordance with the agreement, a reserve amount is required for the total unpaid balance of all purchased accounts multiplied by a percentage equal to the difference between one hundred percent and the advanced rate percentage. As of September 30, 2020, the required amount was 10%. Any excess of the reserve amount is paid to the Company on a weekly basis, as requested. If a reserve shortfall exists for a period of ten-days, the Company is required to make payment to the financial institution for the shortage.

On April 29, 2020, MMG was approved for a $5,216 loan through the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) with a term of two (2) years and an interest rate of 1% per annum. The PPP provides that the Company may apply for forgiveness of this loan if the loan proceeds were used for payroll and certain other specified operating expenses while maintaining specified headcount requirements. The accrued interest on the PPP loan as of September 30, 2020 was $22.

 

On June 5^th, 2020, The Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (the “PPPF Act”) went into effect providing more flexibility to participants in the PPP which included extending the time to begin repayment of the PPP loan until the amount of forgiveness, if any, is determined, which could be as late as December 31, 2020. The Company may apply for forgiveness earlier if they determine that doing so will maximize the amount of loan forgiveness.

 

The date the Company ultimately decides to apply for forgiveness will be dependent on maximizing headcount which, in turn will determine the extent of forgiveness.

 

Although the Company has rehired previously furloughed employees, and hired new employees based on various necessities, there are many other dynamic factors that will impact revenue producing and SG&A headcount between now and December 31, 2020. As a result, no assurance can be given that all or any portion of this loan will be forgiven.

 

NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is engaged from time to time in legal matters and proceedings arising out of its normal course of business. The Company establishes a liability related to its legal proceedings and claims when it has determined that it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and the related amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that an obligation is reasonably possible, the Company will, if material, disclose the nature of the loss contingency and the estimated range of possible loss, or include a statement that no estimate of the loss can be made.

 

On or about February 17, 2020, the Company, as plaintiff, filed a complaint with the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland against Vivos Holdings, LLC, Vivos Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“Vivos Real Estate”) and Naveen Doki (the “Defendants”), to enforce Maslow’s rights under certain promissory notes and a personal guarantee made by the defendants (the “Debt Collection Suit”). The aggregate amount of these obligations as of the Balance Sheet Date is approximately $4,229. The case is proceeding, and Maslow intends to continue to vigorously pursue this litigation. The trial on this matter is scheduled for March 2021.

 

On or about May 6, 2020, the Defendants filed with the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland a Counterclaim and Third-Party Complaint for Damages, Declaratory and Injunctive Relief and Jury Demand (the “Counterclaim”), The Company believes that the Counterclaim has no merit. The Company will vigorously defend itself and its indemnified officers, directors and other parties as permitted by the Company’s organizational documents. The Company and the other Counterclaim defendants have moved to have the Debt Collection Suit and the Counterclaim stayed pending the outcome of the Arbitration described below. Trial on this matter is scheduled for March 2021. The Defendants have also brought a motion seeking an injunction related to corporate matters. The Company has objected to this motion and a hearing has been scheduled for November 2020.

 

On or about June 5, 2020, the Company submitted a Claimant’s Notice of Intention to Arbitrate and Demand For Arbitration (the “Arbitration”) with the American Arbitration Association in New York, and to the Respondents thereto: Naveen Doki; Silvija Valleru; Shirisha Janumpally (individually and in her capacity as trustee of Judos Trust); Kalyan Pathuri (individually in his capacity as trustee of Igly Trust) and Federal Systems (the “Respondents”). The Arbitration alleges that certain of the Respondents breached the Merger Agreement providing for the Merger of MMG into a subsidiary of Reliability, in a number of significant respects and committed fraud in connection with the Merger. The Company is seeking damages which if granted will likely be the remedy set forth within the merger agreement which is primarily the relinquishment in whole or in part shares of Company Common Stock received by the Respondents in connection with the Merger. The Company has brought a motion to compel the Arbitration in accordance with the Merger Agreement which is currently being decided by the Federal Courts in New York. The Company believes a strong basis for the motion exists, but no assurance can be given that it will be granted. Regardless, the Company intends to pursue claims under the Merger Agreement in whatever venue is required.

On June 12, Igly Trust, a Vivos entity, brought an action in Texas to compel the Company to provide it certain corporate records, including the Company’s shareholder list. The Company has moved to have this action stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration.

 

On February 28, 2020, Healthcare Resource Network, LLC (“HCRN”), an entity previously owned by Vivos Holdings, filed a complaint against Maslow in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland. The plaintiff has not specified any alleged damage caused by Maslow and the Company believes any claims are without merit. The Company will defend itself from this case. Since HCRN’s primary claim relates to the improper actions of Vivos, the parties have been discussing the tolling of HCRN’s claims against the Company while both the Company and HCRN, together or separately, resolve the matters against Vivos. On September 3, 2020, MMG and HCRN entered into a Tolling Agreement pursuant to which HCRN dismissed MMG from this litigation without prejudice and agreed to forebear filing a new complaint or initiating any lawsuit or other legal proceeding against MMG until January 31, 2022.

 

On September 28, 2018, Credit Cash filed a complaint against Maslow, Vivos, Vivos Acquisitions, LLC, Dr. Doki, Dr. Valleru (the “Credit Cash Parties”) and other defendants in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey for, among other things, breach of contract of the Maslow and HCRN Credit Facilities and their respective guaranties in relation to the November 15, 2017 agreement (the “DNJ Action”).

On December 10, 2018, the Parties entered into a settlement agreement for the purpose of settling certain claims related to the DNJ Action only. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, certain repayment terms were agreed upon between Credit Cash and the Parties, but Credit Cash did not relinquish the right to pursue any claims related to the NY State Action, nor to pursue any remedies against any of the parties in relation to the November 15, 2017 agreement. Certain of the Vivos Shareholders executed and delivered to Maslow that certain Agreement for the Contingent Liquidation of the Common Stock of Maslow Media Group, Inc., dated as of October 28, 2019 (the “Liquidation Agreement”), pursuant to which such Vivos Shareholders pledged to Maslow the shares of Company Common Stock they received in the Merger to provide the capital required to satisfy the Parties’ obligations under the Settlement Agreements. Immediately prior to the execution of the Liquidation Agreement, certain Vivos Shareholders misrepresented to Maslow the status of the obligations under the Settlement Agreement, which were, in fact, then in default. To date these Vivos Shareholders have not cooperated with the Company to monetize those shares as contemplated by the Liquidation Agreement and certain of the shares underlying the Liquidation Agreement may not be properly held by Vivos as claimed in the Arbitration (defined below) due to violations of the Merger Agreement by Vivos Shareholders.. The Company will take appropriate action to enforce its rights under the Liquidation Agreement, which actions will be dictated in part by the outcome of the Arbitration. On or about March 16, 2020, Credit Cash entered its New Jersey confession of judgment with the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland.

These payments, plus any other payments made by the Company on behalf of Vivos, are added to the principal balance of the Vivos Promissory Note receivable. In 2018, all quarterly interest payments to be made in Vivos Note Period 2 were offset by the management fees due to Vivos. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the total outstanding balance was $2,719 and $2,666, which includes accrued interest receivable of $217 and $162, respectively.

Mr. Doki is a 5% or greater beneficial holder of Company Common Stock, and therefore is a related party. As of February 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit against the majority shareholder, pursuant to the personal guaranty agreement for defaulting on the outstanding notes receivables.

 

On September 5, 2019, Maslow entered into a secured promissory note agreement with Vivos, pursuant to which Maslow issued a secured promissory note to Vivos in the principal amount of $750 (“Secured Note”).

As a result, repayment on both facilities was accelerated, with the full balance for each becoming immediately due and payable. On December 10, 2018, Maslow, Vivos, Vivos Acquisitions, LLC, Dr. Doki, and Dr. Valleru and Credit Cash entered into a settlement agreement in connection the November 15, 2017 agreement to govern the terms of the repayment of the HCRN Credit Facility and Maslow Credit Facility (“Settlement Agreement”).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This section includes several forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including, but not limited to, statements about our plans, strategies, adequacy of resources and future financial results (such as revenue, gross profit, operating profit, cash flow), are forward-looking statements. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “can,” “could,” “should,” “intends,” “project,” “predict,” “plans,” “estimates,” “goal,” “target,” “possible,” “potential,” “would,” “seek,” and similar references to future periods. These statements are not a guarantee of future performance and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Because these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking statements. The uncertainties surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to make forward looking assumptions and estimates very volatile. Moreover, the continued contradictory advice between the federal and state governments regarding such matters as reopening schools, social distancing and mask requirements make it even more difficult to predict the timing of a return to pre-pandemic levels, particularly in the media production space. The current potential for a surge of cases heading into the late fall, winter period could also impact the accuracy of forward looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on us and our clients including renewed lock-downs that may be required if a surge levels are not contained; our ability to access the capital markets by pursuing additional debt and equity financing to fund our business plan and expenses on terms acceptable to the Vivos Shareholders or at all; negative outcome of pending and future claims and litigation and our ability to comply with our contractual covenants, including in respect of our debt; potential loss of clients and possible rejection of our business model and/or sales methods; weakness in general economic conditions and levels of capital spending by customers in the industries we serve; weakness or volatility in the financial and capital markets, which may result in the postponement or cancellation of our customers’ projects or the inability of our customers to pay our fees; delays or reductions in U.S. government spending; credit risks associated with our customers; competitive market pressures; the availability and cost of qualified labor; our level of success in attracting, training and retaining qualified management personnel and other staff employees; changes in tax laws and other government regulations, including the impact of health care reform laws and regulations; the possibility of incurring liability for our business activities, including, but not limited to, the activities of our temporary employees; our performance on customer contracts; and government policies, legislation or judicial decisions adverse to our businesses. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. We recommend readers to carefully review the entirety of this Quarterly Report, the “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the other reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), particularly our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, our expectations regarding the future performance of our business and the other non-historical statements in the discussion and analysis are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors including those described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed with the SEC. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. You should read the following discussion together with our financial statements and related notes thereto and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND COMMENTS RELATED TO OPERATIONS

 

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

There have been no material changes or developments in the Company’s evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or methodologies that it believes to be Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates from those disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Management’s Discussion included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes discussion of various factors and items related to the Company’s results of operations and liquidity. There have been no other significant changes in most of the factors discussed in the Form 10-K and many of the items discussed in the Form 10-K are relevant to 2020 operations; thus the reader of this report should read Management’s Discussion included in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. In January 2020, this coronavirus spread to other countries, including the United States, and efforts to contain the spread of this coronavirus intensified. On March 30, 2020, Maryland governor Larry Hogan issued a stay at home order which resulted in the Company moving to a work from home model. We reacted as soon as March 20, 2020 when we instituted furloughs and cut administrative pay by 10% and executive pay by 15%. Other non-essential costs were reduced or eliminated. Whereas we were prepared for this situation and were able to adapt quickly, our business began to suffer from companies and governors in the other 49 states simultaneously or subsequently issuing similar orders.

 

Much of our billable workforce began working from home dependent on client instructions. Some IT staffing clients in the healthcare space were still able to have employees and contractors come to their facilities due to essential service exceptions. However, we still began to observe stronger negative impact in the media space as our client partners demand began to wane in all segments. In April and May combined, we saw a 49% decline in revenue when compared to same periods in 2019.

 

On April 29, 2020 we were formally approved by TBK bank and the SBA for Payroll Protection (PPP) lending. With the board approving the loan provisions in the loan documents presented to us on the same day, May 4th, the proceeds totaling $5,216 were then released on May 5, 2020.

 

As of September 30, 2020, we had deployed all $5,216 in PPP funds. The Company believes that 99% of the PPP funds deployed have been for eligible payroll per the SBA regulations governing fund eligibility for fund use and forgiveness. However, there is no certainty that any of or all the PPP funds will ultimately be forgiven.

 

Because our administrative staff continued to be productive using our web-based applications from the safety of their homes, management decided to terminate its lease at 22 Baltimore Road with Vivos Real Estate, affording Vivos Real Estate 30 days of notice prior to the effective termination date of April 30, 2020. And because our lease was on a month to month basis, there was no penalty or negative consequences associated with this action. We do not believe our work from home protocols have materially adversely impacted our internal controls, financial reporting systems or our operations.

 

During this period, our critical priorities continue to be the health and safety of our team members, field talent, candidates, and client partners.

 

 

The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, circumstances permitting people to return to work, among others. A surge in cases during the fall and winter could result in additional shutdowns or protocols that could adversely impact the Company.

 

We expect that the social distancing measures, the reduced operational status of our client partners, reductions in production at certain client partners facilities, and general business uncertainty will continue to significantly effect demand in all our segments throughout the remainder of 2020, and possibly beyond.

 

In the last two months of the third quarter our customers began to reengage in their media activities due in part to a relaxation of state COVID-19 measures, and because customers had instituted safe policies and procedures for their and our employees to return to work. In addition, media coverage of the national election and return of the National Football League in September, propelled business from its COVID-19 lows but not to the levels of 2019. Due to the many uncertainties at this time, no assurance can be given that this trend will continue at its current pace.

 

Revenues

 

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $ 6,201, an increase of $1,004 or 19% over the quarter ending June 30, 2020 but a decrease of $3,874 or 38% to same quarter ending September 30, 2019. The comparable drop to 2019 was predominantly due to reduced demand for services resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. EOR revenue dropped 47% and Video and Multimedia production declined by 48%, as clients continued to curtail studio and on-site productions due mostly to stay at home / shelter in place state orders. Staffing Revenues however increased 4% due to IQS IT staffing which was not in place a year ago.

 

For the nine months ending September 30, 2020 revenues were $20,199, which was $7,807 or 27.9% less than the nine-month period ending September 30, 2019. This variance can also be attributed to reduced demand for workforce services due to COVID-19 pandemic.

 

IQS staffing revenues when compared to its pre-acquisition records as a stand-alone company, declined in the third quarter by $283 from $926 to $643, or 31%

 

IQS IT staffing Revenue for the three-month period ending September 30, 2020, totaled $624 which was 27% off the pace of a year ago when it was $855 due to the causes stated above which although began in mid-March 2020, did not affect this IT business as much until the end of the second quarter.

 

IQS IT staffing Revenue for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2020, totaled $2,066 which was 11.7% off the pace of a year ago when it was $2,340.

 

Cost of Revenue / Gross Profit

 

The Company’s gross margin in the third quarter was $654 or 10.5% which was well short of our second quarter performance of $723 and 13.9% respectively. This was caused by 2 factors: i) an arrangement MMG made with one of our customers to employ our PPP funds directly for a limited number of resources assigned to this client. Hence, we returned up to 14 media specialists, so far, to work and billed our client only the gross profit portion and not approximately $116 in payroll costs. Although we still had PPP funds when this arrangement commenced, it has continued several weeks past the point when we exhausted the PPP funds for its intended use. Because PPP fund forgiveness and accounting use has not been finalized, we could not apply these funds as a subsidy to amply offset our cost of revenue for this project. Otherwise our gross margin would have been $770 and 12.4% for quarter and our gross profit total would have exceeded our second quarter total of $723 by $47; ii) the other reason for the margin decline was that our EOR business, which is our lowest margin segment, improved in a greater proportion to the other two segments, with EOR representing 73% of the revenue in the second quarter to 79% in the third. In contrast the IQS business, our highest margin declined by 3% in revenue when comparing the third quarter 2020 to the second.

 

 

When comparing gross profit performance for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 to its 2019 counterpart, the third quarter 2020 yielded $654 or a 39% decrease in gross profit compared to a year ago. IQS contribution to gross profit was at $262 which represents 28.5% of the Company’s third quarter gross profit.

 

IQS IT staffing’s gross margin was 30% for the quarter ending September, and year to date is now at 31%. A change in client composition has compacted margins from 34% to 31%.

 

IQS IT staffing’s operating income for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2020 was $182 compared to a loss of ($21) a year ago. This is due to our ability to take on this business and manage with existing organizational structure resulting in an elimination of redundancies.

 

Company gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, of $2,409 was $570 less or 19% less than it was a year ago at $2,979. September’s revenue at $2,542 represented 41% of our third quarter revenue and was a 43% improvement over the average of the 5 preceding months beginning in April and ending in August. This improvement can be attributed to increases in EOR services demand by AT&T, Janssen, and WETA which began increasing their media resources to percentages approaching pre-COVID 19 levels.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $1,086 as compared to $724 in 2019. The increase is due to costs associated with being a public company and higher legal costs which totaled approximately $214 and $131, respectively, or $345 which exceeds the $314 difference. The other major SG&A increase in comparing 2020 third quarter to a year ago is $128 comes from IQS administrative salaries. So, when comparing MMG operating costs in the third quarter 2020 to 2019, costs were reduced by $159, representing a 21% improvement.

 

For the nine months ending September 30, 2020, SG&A expenses of $3,438 were $1,398 greater than 2019 with an identical paradigm to the quarter with cost associated with being a public company and higher legal costs being the drivers, totaling approximately $868 and $333, respectively, for a total of $1,201 of the $1,398 difference.

 

Interest Expense

 

The Company recognized interest expense in the amount of $30 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $100 in 2019. The decrease was attributable to interest on the $850 in convertible notes and offset by a large reduction in use of factoring which was due to the reduction of revenues and the PPP funds which do not necessitate immediate borrowing for working capital.

 

For the nine months ending September 30, 2020, interest expense increased to $283 compared with $273 in 2019 primarily due to the $725 in interest on the convertible notes the Company in the third quarter of 2020 compared with $491 in 2019.

 

Our factoring costs decreased year over year as the necessity to factor invoices was significantly diminished after receipt of the PPP funds. Prior to receipt of the PPP funds, our average cash balance was $395, while employing 85-90% of factoring capabilities. Use of PPP funds for payroll and rent enabled cash reserves to be fortified as our average cash improved to $657 in the third quarter 2020. Hence, our 2020 factoring costs (factoring fee plus interest) were $8 compared to $79 in 2019.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

The Company incurred a net loss during the three months ended September 30, 2020 of $192 compared to net profit in the same period 2019 of $157.

 

The $349 increase in net loss can be attributed to i) reduction in revenue by $3,874 leading to gross profit decrease by $406 as a result of COVID-19 customer reductions in force; ii) corporate costs much of which are public company related ($214, see quarterly G&A results above) totaling $419 which include legal costs associated with shareholder disputes totaling $131; iii) increase in cost of revenue due to the customer subsidy described above totaling $116 iv) additional losses were offset by income tax benefit of $237.

 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the net loss was $753 versus a profit of 533 in the same period in 2019. The $1,286 variance can be attributed less to the same factors cited above which can be simplified by focusing on the $570 gross profit deficit and corporate costs of $1,191 that were not necessary a year ago. Those two changes alone account for a $1,762 reduction in operational profit in the nine months ending on September 30 in 2020 to a year ago offset by income tax benefit of $286.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations via traditional accounts receivable activities and via borrowings under our Factoring Facility (up to 93%) with Triumph and receivables enabling access to the 7% unfactored portion. Because certain large clients have changed their payment practices announcing 60 and 90 day terms amounting to a unilateral extension to contractual terms by 30-60 days, we can be adversely impacted since Triumph, and most other factoring institutions no longer provide credit after an account obligor who pays 30 or more days from their contractual terms.

 

Our primary use of cash are for payments to field talent, corporate and staff employees, related payroll liabilities, operating expenses, public company costs, including but not limited to general and professional liability and directors and officers liability insurance premiums, legal fees, filing fees, auditor and accounting fees, stock transfer services, and board compensation; followed by cash factoring and other borrowing interest; cash taxes; and debt servicing payments.

 

The Company expected to have promissory note receivable for $3,000 repaid by Naveen Doki at the end of 2019. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company continued to pursue repayment as the impact of not having that cash returned to the Company coupled with approximately $900 more a year in costs associated with being a public company and the inability to tap the capital markets due to not having any available shares, resulted in cash challenges.

 

Also, as described in Note 5 to the Financial Statements above, Vivos Holdings LLC has defaulted its secured promissory note that would have paid $10 per month to Company.

 

In the third quarter of 2020, the Company made required repayments of principal and interest of approximately $806 pursuant to the convertible notes. This completed the repayment of outstanding notes having an aggregate value of principal and interest of approximately $946.

 

In March 2020, a national, lockdown began to unfold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This resulted in a significant loss of business starting the last week of March 2020, resulting in a reduction of billing by approximately 51% in the combined months of April and May 2020.

 

On May 5, 2020, MMG received the PPP Loan. Subsequently, the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act, was passed by Congress and signed by the President on June 3, 2020, which among other changes and provisions, allowed for the funds to be employed over a 24-week period versus 8. By utilizing these funds for their intended purpose of payroll, with forgiveness potential over the first 24 weeks, the Company has been able to free up cash to pay other expenses and obligations, while also improving our non-PPP working capital. As stated above under Interest, use of PPP funds for payroll and rent enabled cash reserves to be fortified to average (Non PPP) working capital of $458 from May 1 through July 6, 2020, from a previous 4 month average of $395.

 

Cash employed to repay the convertible notes in the second quarter totaled $140 and required disbursement in the third quarter of $806. Although the outlay of the $806 in the third quarter had a substantial impact on cash flows, the Company expects to have sufficient working capital after making these payments.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $586 compared to $136 in the comparable period of 2019. The change was attributable to an increase in legal expenses and other costs associated with being a public company.

 

In February 2020, Maslow took out a $250 6-month term loan from Triumph at 10% APR, in order to meet its cash obligations. In early March 2020, the loan principal was increased by $75 with the remaining term extended 26 weeks to September 2020. On April 7, 2020, in the face of the COVID 19 lockdown, Triumph offered a 2-month payment holiday and to extend the note payment to February 2021.

Item 4. Risk Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is engaged from time to time in legal matters and proceedings arising out of its normal course of business. The Company establishes a liability related to its legal proceedings and claims when it has determined that it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and the related amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that an obligation is reasonably possible, the Company will, if material, disclose the nature of the loss contingency and the estimated range of possible loss, or include a statement that no estimate of the loss can be made.

 

On or about February 17, 2020, the Company, as plaintiff, filed a complaint with the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland against Vivos Holdings, LLC, VREH and Naveen Doki (the “Defendants”), to enforce Maslow’s rights under certain promissory notes and a personal guarantee made by the defendants (the “Debt Collection Suit”). The aggregate amount of these obligations as of the Balance Sheet Date is approximately $4,229. The case is proceeding. The Company believes that it will be granted a judgment in its favor. Maslow intends to continue to vigorously pursue this litigation. The trial on this matter is scheduled for March 2021.

 

On or about May 6, 2020, the Defendants filed with the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland a Counterclaim and Third-Party Complaint for Damages, Declaratory and Injunctive Relief and Jury Demand (the “Counterclaim”), The Company believes that the Counterclaim has no merit. The Company will vigorously defend itself and its indemnified officers, directors and other parties as permitted by the Company’s organizational documents. The Company and the other Counterclaim defendants have moved to have the Debt Collection Suit and the Counterclaim stayed pending the outcome of the Arbitration described below. Trial on this matter is scheduled for March 2021. The Defendants have also brought a motion seeking an injunction related to corporate matters. The Company has objected to this motion and a hearing has been scheduled for November 2020.

 

On or about June 5, 2020, the Company submitted a Claimant’s Notice of Intention to Arbitrate and Demand For Arbitration (the “Arbitration”) with the American Arbitration Association in New York, and to the Respondents thereto: Naveen Doki; Silvija Valleru; Shirisha Janumpally (individually and in her capacity as trustee of Judos Trust); Kalyan Pathuri (individually in his capacity as trustee of Igly Trust) and Federal Systems (the “Respondents”). The Arbitration alleges that the Respondents breached the Merger Agreement in a number of significant respects and committed fraud in connection with the Merger. The Company is seeking damages which if granted will likely be the remedy set forth within the merger agreement which is in whole or in part shares of Company Common Stock received by the Respondents in connection with the Merger. The Company has brought a motion to compel the Arbitration which is currently being decided by the Federal Courts in New York. The Company believes a strong basis for the motion exists, but no assurance can be given that it will be granted. Regardless, the Company intends to pursue claims under the Merger Agreement in whatever venue is required.

 

On June 12, Igly Trust, a Vivos entity, brought an action in Texas to compel the Company to provide it certain corporate records, including the Company’s shareholder list. The Company has moved to have this action stayed pending the outcome of the Arbitration.

 

On February 28, 2020, Healthcare Resource Network, LLC (“HCRN”) filed a complaint against Maslow in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland. The plaintiff has not specified any alleged damage caused by Maslow and the Company believes any claims are without merit. The Company will defend itself from this case. Since HCRN’s primary claim relates to the improper actions of Vivos, the parties have been discussing the tolling of HCRN’s claims against the Company while both the Company and HCRN, together or separately, resolve the matters against Vivos. On September 3, 2020, MMG and HCRN entered into a Tolling Agreement pursuant to which HCRN dismissed MMG from this litigation without prejudice and agreed to forebear filing a new complaint or initiating any lawsuit or other legal proceeding against MMG until January 31, 2022.

 

 

On September 28, 2018, Credit Cash filed a complaint against Maslow, Vivos, Vivos Acquisitions, LLC, Dr. Doki, Dr. Valleru (the “Parties”) and other defendants in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey for, among other things, breach of contract of the Maslow and HCRN Credit Facilities and their respective guaranties in relation to the November 15, 2017 agreement (the “DNJ Action”). On October 30, 2018, Credit Cash filed a motion to intervene in an action pending in New York State, Monroe County, filed by HCRN and LE Finance, LLC against the Parties, and other defendants (“NY State Action”). On December 10, 2018, the Parties entered into a settlement agreement for the purpose of settling certain claims related to the DNJ Action only. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, certain repayment terms were agreed upon between Credit Cash and the Parties, but Credit Cash did not relinquish the right to pursue any claims related to the NY State Action, nor to pursue any remedies against any of the parties in relation to the November 15, 2017 agreement. Certain of the Vivos Shareholders executed and delivered to Maslow that certain Agreement for the Contingent Liquidation of the Common Stock of Maslow Media Group, Inc., dated as of October 28, 2019 (the “Liquidation Agreement”), pursuant to which such Vivos Shareholders pledged to Maslow the shares of Company Common Stock they received in the Merger to provide the capital required to satisfy the Parties’ obligations under the Settlement Agreements. Vivos Shareholders misrepresented upon the execution of the Liquidation Agreement to Maslow the status of its obligations under the Settlement Agreement, which were, in fact, then in default. To date these Vivos Shareholders have not cooperated with the Company to monetize those shares as contemplated by the Liquidation Agreement. The Company will take appropriate action to enforce its rights under the Liquidation Agreement, which actions will be dictated in part by the outcome of the Arbitration. On or about March 16, 2020, Credit Cash entered its New Jersey confession of judgment with the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland.

 

The Company may be required to make cash payments pursuant to the Settlement Agreements (filed as exhibits 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 30, 2019).

 

On or about May 5, 2020, Libertas Holdings LLC and Kinetic Direct Funding entered their New York confession of judgment with the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland, and have approached the Company regarding payment, which the parties have been discussing. The Vivos Shareholders that are the counterparties to the Liquidation Agreement are not cooperating with the Company in regard to the payment of the debt. These debts were incurred by another company held by the Vivos Shareholders for the other company’s benefit but for which Maslow, while under the Vivos Shareholders ownership, guaranteed payment for the benefit of the other company.

 

Item 1a. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, shareholders should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

 

We are currently engaged in substantial and complex litigation and arbitration with the Vivos Shareholders, the outcome of which could materially harm our business and financial results.

 

As more fully described in Note 5 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements above, we are currently engaged in litigation and arbitration with the Vivos Shareholders. The litigation includes multiple complaints and counterclaims by us and the Vivos Shareholders in venues in Maryland and Texas. The arbitration was brought by the Company to enforce its rights under the Merger Agreement.

 

The litigation and arbitration are substantial and complex, and they have caused and could continue to cause us to incur significant costs, as well as distract our management over an extended period. The litigation and arbitration may substantially disrupt our business and we cannot assure you that we will be able to resolve the litigation on terms favorable to us or that we will be successful in the arbitration.
