Our Business
SCWorx is a provider of data content and services related to the repair, normalization and interoperability of information for healthcare providers, as well as big data
analytics for the healthcare industry. SCWorx has developed and markets health care information technology solutions and associated services that improve healthcare
processes and information flow within hospitals and other healthcare facilities. SCWorx’s software enables a healthcare provider to simplify and organize its data (“data
normalization”), allows the data to be utilized across multiple internal software applications (“interoperability”) and provides the basis for sophisticated data analytics (“big
data”). Customers use our software to achieve multiple operational benefits, such as supply chain cost reductions, decreased accounts receivables aging, accelerated and
completed patient billing in less than 72 hours, contract optimization, increased supply chain management and total cost visibility via dynamic AI connections that automatically
structures, repairs, synchronizes and maintains purchasing (“MMIS”), Clinical (“EMR”) and finance (“CDM”) systems. SCWorx’s customers include some of the most
prestigious healthcare organizations in the United States. SCWorx offers an advanced software solution for the management of health care providers’ foundational business
applications, empowering its customers to significantly reduce costs, drive better clinical outcomes and enhance their revenue. SCWorx supports the interrelationship between
the three core healthcare provider systems: Supply Chain, Financial and Clinical. This solution integrates common keys within distinct and variable databases that allows the
repaired foundational data to move seamlessly from one application to another enabling our Customers to drive supply chain cost reductions, optimize contracts, increase
supply chain management (“SCM”), cost visibility, control rebates and contract administration fees.
Currently, the business systems of hospitals are frequently deficient and often unconnected from each other. These deficiencies in part result from the vast amount of
unstructured, manually created and managed data that proliferates within the hospital’s supply chain, clinical and billing systems. SCWorx’s solutions are designed to improve
the flow of information quickly and accurately between the buy-side (supply chain purchasing systems), the consumption-side (clinical documentation systems like the
electronic medical records (“EMR”)) and billing and collection systems (patient billing systems). The currently poor state of interoperability limits the potential value of each
independent system and requires significant expense and extensive human resource commitments from senior personnel to stay ahead of problems and complete basic
administrative tasks. SCWorx provides an information service that ultimately leads to safer, more cost effective and financially efficient patient care.
SCWorx has demonstrated that in order for the core hospital systems to function properly there must be a Single Source of Truth (“SSOT”) for all products utilized and
ultimately billed for. The Item Master File (“IMF”), which is a database of all known products used in hospital and health care settings, must be accurate at all times and
expanded upon to hold both clinical and financial attributes. An accurate and expanded Item Master File supports interoperability between the supply chain, clinical and
financial systems by delivering, on demand, reports detailing the purchasing, utilization and revenue associated with each and every item used, allowing hospitals to better
manage their business. The Single Source of Truth establishes a common vernacular and syntax, while assigning a consistent meaning across the healthcare provider’s core
systems and accurately migrating data from one application to another and removing disconnects between critical business systems.
1
SCWorx’s software solutions are delivered to clients within a fixed term period, where such software is hosted in SCWorx’s data center and accessed by the client
through a secure connection in a software as a service (“SaaS”) delivery method.
SCWorx sells its solutions and services in the United States to hospitals and health systems through its distribution and reseller partnerships.
SCWorx’s Software Solutions/Services
SCWorx empowers healthcare providers to maintain comprehensive access and visibility to an advanced business intelligence that enables better decision-making and
reductions in product costs and utilization, ultimately leading to accelerated and accurate patient billing. SCWorx’s software modules perform separate functions as follows.
● Virtualized Item Master File repair, expansion and automation — The process begins with data normalization — data is put into a simplified and normalized
structure and location for use throughout the enterprise. The SCWorx software normalizes, automates and builds interoperability via advanced attribution, vendor
and contract mapping, product categorization, repairing the unit of measure and establishing revenue codes and flags. SCWorx improves the healthcare providers’
business processes through the establishment of a clean and normalized Item Master File that improves efficiencies, eliminates cumbersome and error-prone manual
processes, and provides an integrated cloud-based suite of services that enhances the productivity of operating room staff, supply chain margins and billing revenue
through the seamless sharing and accuracy of critical business data.
●
Electronic Medical Record Management — The Electronic Medical Record (EMR) module integrates the advanced data attributes created by SCWorx in the Item
Master into the EMR. The EMR serves as the database that hospitals use to document all clinical procedures in terms of the products used and the costs that should
be charged. What makes this module special is that prior to its creation there was no mechanism that tied product purchases to actual utilization. Hospitals, being
mass consumption businesses, had no way to identify excess ordering that always accompanies mass consumption organizations. In addition, the automation and
consistency of delivered attributes dramatically reduces the administrative burden as today these additional attributes are being created by expensive clinical
resources manually — over and over again by each hospital. The SCWorx EMR management system creates one vernacular for each hospital so they see the data in
a manner that suits them — and then creates a universal vernacular so they can see their performance against other like institutions.
● Charge Description Master Management — The Charge Description Master (CDM) Management module assists healthcare providers by integrating the CDM data
into the workflow of the hospitals purchasing systems so that the latest costs can be automatically updated against the hospitals charging systems. The CDM data
provided by SCWorx is made more accurate, and the resulting data is integrated to the Item Master for real-time delivery to the EMR — this data is the last
remaining piece of information that is consumed by the EMR and passed ultimately to the patient billing systems. SCWorx provides real-time integration,
automation and management of Item Master File, Clinical Information Systems and the Charge Description Master.
● Contract Management — SCWorx’s Contract Management Module assists healthcare providers to establish an efficient contract management system and to provide
first class care to patients, while reducing operating costs, assuring adherence to compliance requirements, and mitigating risk. By linking the Item Master File to the
healthcare providers contract management system and procedures, SCWorx simplifies the way contracts are managed from start to finish by streamlining the
processes of creating, routing, reviewing and approving contracts. SCWorx delivers a data warehouse platform which integrates item master management, spend
analysis, and contract management. These solutions enable financial staff across the healthcare provider to drill down quickly and deeply into actionable and real-
time financial data and key performance indicators to improve revenue realization and staff efficiency. This suite of solutions includes the ability to automatically
push price changes to a contract, compliance for standard and non-standard products, contract compliance and optimization reporting, reliable cost data for current
and alternate products, cost performance metrics, matching purchase order price to contract and contract repository.
● Request for Proposal (“RFP”) Automation — With the reality of shrinking operating margins, increasing operating expenses and decreasing insurance
reimbursements, hospitals must evaluate all major expenditures. In addition, requirements for provable quality of service supported by trackable metrics now
frequently necessitate the search for better options available in the marketplace. Since hospital-based provider subsidies are often a major expense item and since
there are often perceived opportunities for quality improvement, it is a reasonable practice for hospital leadership to carefully evaluate all of their current hospital-
based services and associated financial support before each contract renegotiation. The proliferation of large regional and national providers, with their ability to
derive benefits from economies of scale, have made RFPs much more of a competitive process. Hospital administrators, however, often rely on poor or conflicting
data when creating an RFP. Through the integration and utilization of the SSOT SCWorx automates the RFP process and makes it more accurate. SCWorx
automates the core sourcing processes with the intention to accelerate cycle times, surveys and confirms business preferred processes, designs and builds a flow
chart for the current and desired workflows, cross references bid analysis, implements bid scoring, customizes software to support automation and customizes the
report writer and output documents.

●
Integration of Acquired Businesses — The agnostic design of the SCWorx solution enables rapid deployment of a virtual Item Master File to quickly and easily
allow combining healthcare providers to share information and achieve cost synergies and interoperability without large and cumbersome upgrades or
implementations. During the consolidation of healthcare providers, SCWorx cleans the data and makes the data available to the disparate systems. In addition, M&A
activity requires in-depth reporting for comparison of Group Purchasing Organization (“GPO”) contract overlap. When healthcare providers that use different GPOs
merge, or are acquired, there is a lack of information to compare contracts. SCWorx provides information for comparative purposes to solve these issues rapidly.
● Rebate Management — Frequently, vendors use rebates and incentives as a key part of their pricing strategy and structure when selling to hospitals. This tactic
makes pricing more attractive to healthcare providers. When tracked through Accounts Payable, and issued correctly, rebates can help healthcare organizations save
money. At any large healthcare provider, vendor rebates can be difficult to manage since they require a multi-step process to track dollars earned, credits issued, and
monies paid. Rebates frequently cause tracking challenges for Accounts Payable departments. Inconsistent tracking is the primary problem for loss of savings with
vendor rebate programs. SCWorx’s Rebate Management Module enables healthcare providers to correctly calculate and track rebates provided by healthcare
provider vendors. Purchasing or Contracting departments monitor rebates by creating and maintaining a Rebates Master List which is provided to the Accounts
Payable department. To assist in this cumbersome process, SCWorx provides information from the SSOT, such as historical data, frequent updates, advanced
administrative fee reporting, purchase rebate tracking, early payment/discount management and Vendor Master Data alignment.
● Big Data Analytics Model — SCWorx provides an in-depth, easy-to-use web portal for display, reporting and analysis of the information contained within the
SCWorx data warehouse. SCWorx’s analytics solution enables healthcare providers to view benchmarking information, quickly add new items to the SSOT and
identify cost savings through this real-time and on-demand solution. In addition to simplifying the item add process, SCWorx provides peer comparison reporting
against similar healthcare providers and a list of informative reports for business measurement, such as spend trend analysis, contract gap analysis, market price
comparison, etc. The SCWorx product line is a simplified user experience and visual display for the hospital employee which does not require access to the SCWorx
application.
● Data Integration and Warehousing — Healthcare providers maintain a significant amount of data. In many cases the data is not useful for analytics since the data is
held within an individual “silo.” SCWorx establishes an expandable, data warehouse of items that have been normalized, repaired and enriched as the SSOT for
useful benchmarking, interoperability and analytics. SCWorx’s data warehouse allows healthcare providers to effectively use the data contained in their
environment and efficiently establish the supply chain as a leading driver of revenue cycle management. The data warehouse is updated as frequently as every five
minutes without intervention.
●
ScanWorx — Our mobile perioperative closed loop scanning solution is driven by the SCWorx foundational data structure, and utilizes interoperable data
exchanges to push and secure the customer’s enriched item master, all built around the customer’s internal business rules and chart of account requirements
offering the following:
■ Cloud hosted mobile scanning solution, which automates the consumption of known and unknown implant device utilization during surgical procedures via
intuitive Scanning or smart searching features.
■ All scanned device utilization will capture all available attributes, such as Global Trade Item Number, Lot, Serial numbers, expiration dates.
■

■
■
ScanWorx has the ability to consume additional product utilization per case when provided by the EMR for surgical preference cards, central sterile processing
products, and anesthesia gas.
ScanWorx will identify and automate the Item-Add process for unknown items introduced during surgical procedures based on customer’s existing business
rules.
Direct-Worx — In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, SCWorx established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Direct-Worx, LLC, which will utilize
the SCWorx database to identify trends within the purchasing supply chain and use this information to source and provide critical, difficult-to-find items for the
healthcare industry. Items may become difficult to source due to unexpected disruptions within the supply chain, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. These products
currently include:
■
Test Kits — the Company has identified multiple potential sources for Rapid Test Kits for COVID-19.
3
■
PPE — Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) includes items such as masks, gloves, gowns, shields, etc. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and
employees have extensive experience in the healthcare industry and industry contacts, and a database of items specifically designated to assist the healthcare
industry in fulfilling its inventory demands.
The sale of PPE and rapid test kits for COVID-19 represent a new business for the Company and is subject to the myriad risks associated with any new venture.
The Company has for example encountered great difficulty in attempting to secure reliable sources of supply for both COVID-19 Rapid Test Kits and PPE
including, 3M N95 masks, which are the preferred medical grade mask of US healthcare companies. Further, the Company has encountered shipping delays
with regard to masks and other PPE, and significant quality related issues regarding N95 masks. In addition, regarding its sourcing of COVID-19 Rapid Test
Kits, the Company has encountered significant shipping delays, as well as reduced quantities. Consequently, there is no assurance as to the timing or quantities
of any future deliveries of COVID-19 Test Kits. The Company has yet to complete the sale of any COVID-19 rapid test kits and had no test kits or PPE in
inventory as of December 31, 2019 and had 19,000 test kit units as of the date of this report. In addition, changes in FDA processes governing the sale of
COVID-19 serology tests could have the effect of rendering the COVID-19 serology tests to be sold by the Company not saleable in the United States, which
could have a material adverse effect on the Company. See Government Regulation. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate any
significant revenue from the sale of PPE products or rapid test kits.
Clients and Strategic Partners
SCWorx continues to provide transformational data-driven solutions to some of the finest, most well-respected healthcare providers in the United States. Clients are
geographically dispersed throughout the country and the continued focus is to assist healthcare providers with issues they have pertaining to data interoperability. SCWorx
provides these solutions through a combination of direct sales and relationships with strategic partners.
Our major clients include the following hospitals and health care providers: CAPTIS, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Mercy Health, Providence Health &
Services, University of Chicago Medical Center, and the University of Vermont Medical Center, among others.
Competition
SCWorx competes against a variety of vendors and smaller companies which provide solutions in the specific markets we address. Our principal competitors include:
●
●
●
purchasing departments that have limited budgets and may be attempting to manually repair the item master file;
large companies with a long list of products and services and small companies which may provide item master normalization and data cleanse services;
software companies or service providers, as well as small, specialized vendors, that provide complementary or competitive solutions in benchmarking or data
analytics and data warehousing that may compete with our offerings; and
●
large national medical supply companies which distribute PPE products and rapid test kits, such as Medline Industries, Inc.
Some of our actual and perceived competitors have advantages over us, such as longer operating histories, greater financial, technical, marketing or other resources,
stronger brand and business user recognition, larger intellectual property portfolios, broader distribution and presence, and competitive pricing. In addition, our industry is
evolving rapidly and is becoming increasingly competitive.
Barriers to entry to the data management market include technological and application sophistication, the ability to offer a proven product, creating and utilizing a
well-established client base and distribution channels, brand recognition, the ability to provide agnostic interoperability and to operate on a variety of MMIS, EMR and financial
platforms, the ability to integrate with pre-existing systems and capital for sustained development and marketing activities. There are few barriers to entry to the PPE
product/test kit distribution business.
SCWorx believes that these obstacles taken together represent a moderate to high-level barrier to entry on the data management side of our business. The principal
competitive factors in our markets are product features, functionality and support, product depth and breadth (number of items in the central data warehouse), flexibility, ease of
deployment and use, total cost of ownership and time to value. We believe that we generally compete favorably on the basis of these factors. For example, besides our agnostic
interoperability, additional key strengths include the SCWorx data warehouse, which exceeds 12 million items, SCWorx Big Data analytics and benchmarking.
Contracts, License and Service Fees
SCWorx enters into agreements with its clients that specify the scope of the solution to be installed and/or services to be provided by SCWorx, as well as the agreed-
upon aggregate price, applicable duration and the timetable for the associated licenses and services.
For clients purchasing software to be installed locally or provided on a SaaS model, these are multi-element arrangements that include a term license granting the right
to access the applicable software functionality (whether installed locally at the client site or the right to use our company’s solutions as a part of SaaS services), terms regarding
maintenance and support services, terms for any third-party components such as infrastructure and software, and professional services for implementation, integration, process
engineering, optimization and training, as well as fees and payment terms for each of the foregoing. If the client purchases solutions on a long-term license model, the client
may be billed the license fee up front or on a monthly or quarterly basis. Maintenance and support are provided on a term basis for separate fees, with an initial term of typically
three to five years. The license, maintenance and support fee is charged annually in advance, commencing either upon contract execution or deployment of the solution in live
production. If the client purchases solutions on a term-based model, the client is billed periodically a combined access fee for a specified term, typically three to five years in
length.
4
SCWorx also generally provides software and SaaS client’s professional services for implementation, integration, process engineering, and optimization and training.
These services and the associated fees are separate from the license, maintenance and access fees. Professional services are provided on either a fixed-fee or hourly
arrangements billable to clients based on agreed-to payment milestones (fixed fee) or monthly payment structure on hours incurred (hourly). These services can either be
included at the time the related SaaS solution is licensed as part of the initial purchase agreement or added on afterward as an addendum to the existing agreement for services
required after the initial implementation.
For one-time data normalization services clients, these normalization services are provided either through a stand-alone services agreement or services addendum to an
existing master agreement with the client. These normalization services are available as either a one-time service or recurring monthly, quarterly or annual review structure.
These services are typically provided on a per item basis. Payment typically occurs upon completion of the applicable normalization project. The commencement of revenue
recognition varies depending on the size and complexity of the system and/or services involved, the implementation or performance schedule requested by the client and usage
by clients of SaaS for software-based components. SCWorx’s agreements are generally non-cancelable but provide that the client may terminate its agreement upon a material
breach by SCWorx and/or may delay certain aspects of the installation or associated payments in such events. SCWorx does allow for termination for convenience in certain
situations. SCWorx also includes trial or evaluation periods for certain clients, especially for new or modified solutions. Therefore, it is difficult for SCWorx to accurately
predict the revenue it expects to achieve in any particular period, and a termination or installation delay of one or more phases of an agreement, or the failure of SCWorx to
procure additional agreements, could have a material adverse effect on SCWorx’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Historically, SCWorx has not
experienced a material amount of contract cancellations; however, SCWorx sometimes experiences delays during contract implementation, and SCWorx accounts for them
accordingly.
Third Party License Fees
SCWorx incorporates software licensed from various third-party vendors into its proprietary software. Stand-alone third-party software is also required to operate
certain of SCWorx’s proprietary software and/or SaaS services. SCWorx licenses these software products and pays the required license fees when such software is delivered to
clients.
PPE and Rapid Test Kit Products
As of 2020, we are endeavoring to sell PPE products and COVID-19 rapid test kits primarily through use of our internal and external sales personnel. Through the date
of filing we have not had any sales of PPE products.
CageTix Ticketing Platform
Currently, the majority of paid tickets for regional MMA events is sold by the fighters appearing on the event fight card. Referred to as “fighter consigned” tickets,
sales are generally made in face-to-face cash transactions. Our CageTix event ticketing platform allows regional promoters to control the ticketing sales chain. The CageTix
platform can provide significant benefits to regional promotions, including the security of credit/debit card sales processing, immediate revenue recognition, and real time sales
reporting.
Property
Our company does not own any real property. The principal executive offices are located at an office complex in New York, New York, consisting of shared office
space that we are leasing. The lease had an original one-year term that commenced on December 1, 2015, which was renewed until November 30, 2018 and now is under a
month-to-month lease agreement. The lease allows for the limited use of private offices, conference rooms, mail handling, videoconferencing, and certain other business
services.
Our company also has a lease for office space in Greenwich, Connecticut. The lease expires in May 2021.
Government Regulation
Management believes that governmental regulation is not material to our current core data management business.
The sale of tests to identify antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the blood (i.e., COVID-19 serology tests) in the United States is subject to regulation by the US
Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In order for such COVID-19 serology tests to be sold in the United States, they must be authorized for sale by the FDA, either by being
cleared under FDA’s 510(k) pathway, approved under FDA’s Premarket Approval pathway, or, more commonly, authorized under the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)
process developed by FDA for COVID-19 serology tests during the duration of the current public health emergency. The Company believes that the COVID-19 serology tests
to be sold by the Company will conform with the FDA EUA process for COVID-19 serology tests and therefore can be lawfully distributed in the United States. Changes in
FDA processes governing the sale of COVID-19 serology tests could have the effect of rendering the COVID-19 serology tests to be sold by the Company not saleable in the
United States, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Intellectual Property
We protect our intellectual property rights by relying on federal, state and common law rights, as well as contractual restrictions. We control access to our proprietary

agreements with third parties. We further control the use of our proprietary technology and intellectual property through provisions in our websites’ terms of use. Agreements
between the Company and end-users includes a license agreement in which a non-transferable non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, limited use license to use the licensed products

The Company currently hosts our solution, serves our customers, and supports our operations in the United States through an agreement with a third party hosting and
infrastructure provider, Rackspace. The Company incorporates standard IT security measures, including but not limited to; firewalls, disaster recovery, backup, etc.
Circumstances outside our control could pose a threat to our intellectual property rights. For example, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in
the United States or other countries in which we seek protection of our marks or our copyrighted works. Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not
be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights may harm our business or our ability to compete.
Seasonality
We do not believe that SCWorx’s revenues are impacted by seasonality.
Employees
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had 4 and 2 employees, respectively. On December 31, 2019, 2 are in management and finance and 2 are in operations. As of
December 31, 2018, 2 employees were in management and finance. We mainly utilize independent contractors for maintenance of our database and customer software
installation. As of June 3, 2020, we had 8 employees, of which 4 were in management and finance and 4 were in programming.
Legal Proceedings
In conducting our business, we may become involved in legal proceedings. We will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount
within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might
include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred.
On April 29, 2020, a securities class action case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its CEO.
The action is captioned Daniel Yannes, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff vs. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants.
On May 27, 2020, a second securities class was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its CEO. The
action is captioned Caitlin Leeburn, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants. Both lawsuits
allege that the Company and its CEO mislead investors in connection with the Company’s April 13, 2020 press release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits. The
plaintiffs in these actions are seeking unspecified monetary damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these proceedings. In connection with these actions, the
Company may be obligated to indemnify its CEO and any of its officers or directors who incur any liability or expense incurred as a result of serving at our company’s request
in such capacity.
In addition, following the April 13, 2020 press release and related disclosures (related to COVID-19 rapid test kits), the Securities and Exchange Commission made an
inquiry regarding the disclosures the Company made in relation to the transaction involving COVID-19 test kits. On April 22, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission
ordered that trading in the securities of the Company be suspended because of “questions and concerns regarding the adequacy and accuracy of publicly available information in
the marketplace” (the “SEC Trading Halt”). The SEC Trading Halt expired May 5, 2020, at 11:59 PM EDT. The Company is fully cooperating with the SEC’s investigation and
is providing documents and other requested information.
In April 2020, the Company received related inquiries from The Nasdaq Stock Market and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company has
been fully cooperating with these agencies and providing information and documents, as requested. On May 5, 2020, the Nasdaq Stock Market informed the Company that it
has initiated a “T12 trading halt,” which means the halt will remain in place until the Company has fully satisfied Nasdaq's request for additional information. The Company
continues to fully cooperate with Nasdaq and respond to Nasdaq’s information requests as they are issued. The T12 trading halt remains in effect as of the filing of this Form 10-
K.
Also in April 2020, the Company was contacted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey, which is seeking information and documents from the
Company’s officers and directors relating primarily to the April 13, 2020 press release concerning COVID-19 rapid test kits. The Company is fully cooperating with the U.S.
Attorney’s Office in its investigation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Certain factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. You should carefully consider the risks and
uncertainties described below, in addition to other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and related
notes. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties of which we are unaware, or that we currently believe are
not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. If any of the following risks occurs,
our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could
decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Financial Results and Financing Plans
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our business and the business of our hospital customers.
Our operations and business have experienced disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic spreading throughout the United
States and the world. The New York and New Jersey area, where the Company is headquartered, is currently at one of the epicenters of the coronavirus outbreak in the United
States. The Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its team members since the outbreak.
In addition, the Company’s customers (hospitals) have also experienced extraordinary disruptions to their businesses and supply chains, while experiencing
unprecedented demand for health care services related to COVID-19. As a result of these extraordinary disruptions to our customers’ business, our customers are currently
focused on meeting the nation’s health care needs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, there is a significant risk that our customers will not be able to focus any
resources on expanding the utilization of our services, which could adversely impact our future growth prospects, at least until the adverse effects of the pandemic subside. In
addition, the financial impact of COVID-19 on our hospital customers could cause the hospital to delay payments due to us for services, which could negatively impact our cash
flows.
We are endeavoring to mitigate these risks through the sale of personal protective equipment (“PPE”) and COVID-19 rapid test kits to the health care industry,
including many of our hospital customers. The sale of PPE and rapid test kits for COVID-19 represent a new business for the Company and is subject to the myriad risks
associated with any new venture. The Company has for example encountered great difficulty in attempting to secure reliable sources of supply for both COVID-19 Rapid Test
Kits and PPE including, 3M N95 masks, which are the preferred medical grade mask of US healthcare companies. Further, the Company has encountered shipping delays with
regard to masks and other PPE, and significant quality related issues regarding N95 masks. In addition, regarding its sourcing of COVID-19 Rapid Test Kits, the Company has
encountered significant shipping delays, as well as reduced quantities. Consequently, there is no assurance as to the timing or quantities of any future deliveries of COVID-19
Test Kits. The Company has yet to complete the sale of any COVID-19 rapid test kits and had no test kits or PPE in inventory as of December 31, 2019 and had 19,000 test kit
units as of the date of this report. In addition, changes in FDA processes governing the sale of COVID-19 serology tests could have the effect of rendering the COVID-19
serology tests to be sold by the Company not saleable in the United States, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. See Government Regulation. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate any significant revenue from the sale of PPE products or rapid test kits.
We have a history of losses and may continue to incur losses in the future.
We have a history of losses and may continue to incur losses in the future, which could negatively impact the trading value of our common stock. For the year ended
December 31, 2019, our revenues were $5,548,119, and we had a net loss of $11,312,500. For the year ended December 31, 2018, our revenues were $3,421,937, and we had a
net loss of $380,603. At December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $12,794,473.
We incurred losses from operations of $11,897,491 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and $151,179 for the year ended December 31, 2018. We may continue to
incur operating and net losses in future periods. These losses may increase, and we may never achieve profitability for a variety of reasons, including increased competition,
decreased growth in our target market and other factors described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section. If we cannot achieve sustained profitability, our stockholders may
lose all or a portion of their investment in our company.
If we are unable to sustain our recent revenue growth rates, we may never achieve or sustain profitability.
We have experienced consistent growth in recent years. To become profitable, we must, among other things, continue to increase our revenues. Our total revenues
increased to $5,548,119 in the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,421,937 in the year ended December 31, 2018. However, the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect
our near term revenue growth. In order to become profitable and then maintain profitability, we must, among other things, nevertheless continue to increase our revenues. It is
unlikely we will be able to sustain our recent revenue growth, given the COVID-19 pandemic. This adverse effect on revenue will be exacerbated if we are unable to develop
and market new products, which could help us increase our sales to existing customers or develop new customers. Even if our revenues continue to grow, they may not be
sufficient to exceed increases in our operating expenses or to enable us to achieve or sustain profitability.

Risks Related to Our Business
Our inability to obtain additional capital may prevent us from completing our business strategy and successfully operating our business; however, additional financings
may subject our existing stockholders to substantial dilution.
To continue our growth path, we expect to finance our future expansion plans through public or private equity offerings or debt financings. Additional funds may not
be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay or reduce the scope of our business
plans. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, debt financing, if available,
may involve restrictive covenants. We may seek to access the public or private capital markets whenever conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for
additional capital at that time. Our access to the financial markets and the pricing and terms we receive in the financial markets could be adversely impacted by various factors,
including changes in financial markets and interest rates.
Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the costs and timing of our future acquisitions.
A failure to successfully execute our growth strategy could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We intend to continue pursuing growth through expanding our product offerings, project skill-sets and capabilities, and increase critical mass to enable us to bid on
larger contracts. We may also consider potential acquisitions if conditions permit. However, we may be unable to find suitable acquisition candidates or to complete acquisitions
on favorable terms, if at all. Moreover, any completed acquisition may not result in the intended benefits. For example, while the historical financial and operating performance
of an acquisition target are among the criteria we evaluate in determining which acquisition targets we will pursue, there can be no assurance that any business or assets we
acquire will continue to perform in accordance with past practices or will achieve financial or operating results that are consistent with or exceed past results. Any such failure
could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, any completed acquisition may not result in the intended benefits for other reasons
and our acquisitions will involve a number of other risks, including:
● We may have difficulty integrating the acquired companies;
● Our ongoing business and management’s attention may be disrupted or diverted by transition or integration issues and the complexity of managing geographically
or culturally diverse enterprises;
● We may not realize the anticipated cost savings or other financial benefits we anticipated;
● We may have difficulty retaining or hiring key personnel, customers and suppliers to maintain expanded operations;
● Our internal resources may not be adequate to support our operations as we expand, particularly if we are awarded a significant number of contracts in a short time
period;
● We may have difficulty retaining and obtaining any required regulatory approvals, licenses and permits;
● We may not be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to us or at all, and any such financing could result in dilution to our
stockholders, impact our ability to service our debt within the scheduled repayment terms and include covenants or other restrictions that would impede our ability
to manage our operations;
● We may have failed to, or be unable to, discover liabilities of the acquired companies during the course of performing our due diligence; and
● We may be required to record additional goodwill as a result of an acquisition, which will reduce our tangible net worth.
Any of these risks could prevent us from executing our acquisition growth strategy, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects.
Our contracts may require us to perform extra or change order work, which can result in disputes and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects.
Our contracts generally require us to perform extra or change order work as directed by the customer, even if the customer has not agreed in advance on the scope or
price of the extra work to be performed. This process may result in disputes over whether the work performed is beyond the scope of the work included in the original project
plans and specifications or, if the customer agrees that the work performed qualifies as extra work, the price that the customer is willing to pay for the extra work. Even when the
customer agrees to pay for the extra work, we may be required to fund the cost of such work for a lengthy period of time until the change order is approved by the customer and
we are paid by the customer.
8
We derive a significant portion of our revenue from a few customers and the loss of one of these customers, or a reduction in their demand for our services, could adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Our customer base is highly concentrated. Due to the size and nature of our contracts, one or a few customers have represented a substantial portion of our
consolidated revenues and gross profits in any one year or over a period of consecutive years. Two customers accounted for approximately 19% and 10%, respectively, of our
revenue in the year ended December 31, 2019. Three customers accounted for approximately 20%, 16% and 12%, respectively, of our revenue in the year ended December 31,
2018. Revenues under our contracts with significant customers may continue to vary from period to period depending on the timing or volume of work that those customers
contract from us. A limited number of customers may continue to comprise a substantial portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future.
Because we do not maintain any reserves for payment defaults, a default or delay in payment on a significant scale could adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects. We could lose business from a significant customer for a variety of reasons, including:
●
●
●
the consolidation, merger or acquisition of an existing customer, resulting in a change in procurement strategies employed by the surviving entity that could reduce
the amount of work we receive;
our performance on individual contracts or relationships with one or more significant customers could become impaired due to another reason, which may cause us
to lose future business with such customers and, as a result, our ability to generate income would be adversely impacted;
key customers could slow or stop spending on initiatives related to projects we are performing for them due to increased difficulty in the markets as a result of
economic downturns or other reasons.
Since many of our customer contracts allow our customers to terminate the contract without cause, our customers may terminate their contracts with us at will, which
could impair our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our auditors have indicated in their report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 that conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern since we may not have sufficient capital resources from operations and existing financing arrangements to meet our operating expenses
and working capital requirements.
As of December 31, 2019, we had a working capital deficit of $1,768,834 and accumulated deficit of $12,794,473. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we had
a net loss of $11,312,500 and used $4,691,290 of cash in operations. We have historically incurred operating losses and may continue to incur operating losses for the
foreseeable future. We believe that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This may hinder our future ability to obtain
financing or may force us to obtain financing on less favorable terms than would otherwise be available. If we are unable to develop sufficient revenues and additional
customers for our products and services, we may not generate enough revenue to sustain our business, and we may fail, in which case our stockholders would suffer a total loss
of their investment. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
9
To the extent that actual recoveries with respect to change orders or amounts subject to contract disputes or claims are less than the estimates used in our financial
statements, the amount of any shortfall will reduce our future revenues and profits, and this could adversely affect our reported working capital and results of operations. In
addition, any delay caused by the extra work may adversely impact the timely scheduling of other project work and our ability to meet specified contract milestone dates.
Our failure to adequately expand our direct sales force will impede our growth.
We will need to continue to expand and optimize our sales infrastructure in order to grow our customer base and our business, including for PPE products and rapid
test kits. We plan to expand our account management/sales force when warranted by business conditions. Identifying and recruiting qualified personnel and training them
requires significant time, expense and attention. If we are unable to hire, develop and retain talented account management/sales personnel or if the personnel are unable to
achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time, we may not be able to realize the intended benefits of this investment or increase our revenue.
If we are unable to attract and retain qualified executive officers and managers, we will be unable to operate efficiently, which could adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We depend on the continued efforts and abilities of our management, as well as the senior management of our subsidiaries, to establish and maintain our customer
relationships and identify strategic opportunities. The loss of any one of them could negatively affect our ability to execute our business strategy and adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Competition for managerial talent with significant industry experience is high, and we may lose access to
executive officers for a variety of reasons, including more attractive compensation packages offered by our competitors. Although we have entered into employment agreements
with certain of our senior level management, we cannot guarantee that any of them or other key management personnel will remain employed by us for any length of time.
10
Fines, judgments and other consequences resulting from our failure to comply with regulations or adverse outcomes in litigation proceedings could adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
From time to time, we may be involved in lawsuits and regulatory actions, including class action lawsuits that are brought or threatened against us in the ordinary
course of business. These actions may seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, workers’ compensation, violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act
and state wage and hour laws, employment discrimination, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties, and consequential damages or other losses, or
injunctive or declaratory relief.
On April 29, 2020, a securities class action case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its CEO.
The action is captioned Daniel Yannes, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff vs. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants.
On May 27, 2020, a second securities class was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its CEO. The
action is captioned Caitlin Leeburn, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants. Both lawsuits
allege that the Company and its CEO mislead investors in connection with the Company’s April 13, 2020 press release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits. The
plaintiffs in these actions are seeking unspecified monetary damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these proceedings. In connection with these actions, the
Company may be obligated to indemnify its CEO and any of its officers or directors who incur any liability or expense incurred as a result of serving at our company’s request
in such capacity.
In addition, following the April 13, 2020 press release and related disclosures (related to COVID-19 rapid test kits), the Securities and Exchange Commission made an
inquiry regarding the disclosures the Company made in relation to the transaction involving COVID-19 test kits. On April 22, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission
ordered that trading in the securities of the Company be suspended because of “questions and concerns regarding the adequacy and accuracy of publicly available information in
the marketplace” (the “SEC Trading Halt”). The SEC Trading Halt expired May 5, 2020, at 11:59 PM EDT. The Company is fully cooperating with the SEC’s investigation and
is providing documents and other requested information.
In April 2020, the Company received related inquiries from The Nasdaq Stock Market and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company has
been fully cooperating with these agencies and providing information and documents, as requested. On May 5, 2020, the Nasdaq Stock Market informed the Company that it
has initiated a “T12 trading halt,” which means the halt will remain in place until the Company has fully satisfied Nasdaq's request for additional information. The Company
continues to fully cooperate with Nasdaq and respond to Nasdaq’s information requests as they are issued. The T12 trading halt remains in effect as of the filing of this Form 10-
K.
Also in April 2020, the Company was contacted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey, which is seeking information and documents from the
Company’s officers and directors relating primarily to the April 13, 2020 press release concerning COVID-19 rapid test kits. The Company is fully cooperating with the U.S.
Attorney’s Office in its investigation.
Any defects or errors, or failures to meet our customers’ expectations could result in large damage claims against us. Claimants may seek large damage awards and,
due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings. Any failure to properly estimate or manage cost, or
delay in the completion of projects, could subject us to penalties.
The ultimate resolution of these matters through settlement, mediation or court judgment could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows. Regardless of the outcome of any litigation, these proceedings could result in substantial cost and may require us to devote substantial resources to
defend ourselves. When appropriate, we establish reserves for litigation and claims that we believe to be adequate in light of current information, legal advice and professional
indemnity insurance coverage, and we adjust such reserves from time to time according to developments. If our reserves are inadequate or insurance coverage proves to be
inadequate or unavailable, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may suffer.
If we are required to reclassify independent contractors as employees, we may incur additional costs and taxes which could adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects.
We use a significant number of independent contractors in our operations for whom we do not pay or withhold any federal or state employment tax. There are a
number of different tests used in determining whether an individual is an employee or an independent contractor and such tests generally take into account multiple factors.
There can be no assurance that legislative, judicial or regulatory (including tax) authorities will not introduce proposals or assert interpretations of existing rules and regulations
that would change, or at least challenge, the classification of our independent contractors. Although we believe we have properly classified our independent contractors, the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service or other U.S. federal or state authorities or similar authorities of a foreign government may determine that we have misclassified our independent
contractors for employment tax or other purposes and, as a result, seek additional taxes from us or attempt to impose fines and penalties. If we are required to pay employer
taxes or pay backup withholding with respect to prior periods with respect to or on behalf of our independent contractors, our operating costs will increase, which could
adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Our dependence on subcontractors and suppliers could increase our cost and impair our ability to complete contracts on a timely basis or at all.
We rely on third-party subcontractors to perform some of the work on our contracts. We also rely on third-party suppliers to provide materials needed to perform our
obligations under those contracts. We generally do not bid on contracts unless we have the necessary subcontractors and suppliers committed for the anticipated scope of the
contract and at prices that we have included in our bid. Therefore, to the extent that we cannot engage subcontractors or suppliers, our ability to bid for contracts may be
impaired. In addition, if a subcontractor or third-party supplier is unable to deliver its goods or services according to the negotiated terms for any reason, we may suffer delays
and be required to purchase the services from another source at a higher price. We sometimes pay our subcontractors and suppliers before our customers pay us for the related
services. If customers fail to pay us and we choose, or are required, to pay our subcontractors for work performed or pay our suppliers for goods received, we could suffer an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
11
Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover all significant risk exposures.
We will be exposed to liabilities that are unique to the services we provide. While we intend to maintain insurance for certain risks, the amount of our insurance
coverage may not be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities, and we may be forced to bear substantial costs resulting from risks and uncertainties of our business. It is also
not possible to obtain insurance to protect against all operational risks and liabilities. The failure to obtain adequate insurance coverage on terms favorable to us, or at all, could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Risks Related to Our Industry
Our industry is highly competitive, with a variety of larger companies with greater resources competing with us, and our failure to compete effectively could reduce the
number of new contracts awarded to us or adversely affect our market share and harm our financial performance.
The contracts on which we bid are generally awarded through a competitive bid process, with awards generally being made to the lowest bidder, but sometimes based
on other factors, such as shorter contract schedules, larger scale to complete projects or prior experience with the customer. Within our markets, we compete with many other
service providers. Price is often the principal factor in determining which service provider is selected by our customers, especially on smaller, less complex projects. As a result,
any organization with adequate financial resources and access to technical expertise may become a competitor. Smaller competitors are sometimes able to win bids for these
projects based on price alone because of their lower costs and financial return requirements. Additionally, our competitors may develop the expertise, experience and resources
to provide services that are equal or superior in price to our services, and we may not be able to maintain or enhance our competitive position.
Some of our competitors have already achieved greater market penetration than we have in the markets in which we compete, and some have greater financial and
other resources than we do. A number of national companies in our industry are larger than we are and, if they so desire, could establish a presence in our markets and compete
with us for contracts. As a result of this competition, we may need to accept lower contract margins in order to compete against competitors that have the ability to accept
awards at lower prices or have a pre-existing relationship with a customer. If we are unable to compete successfully in our markets, our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects could be adversely affected.
Many of the customers we serve are subject to consolidation and rapid technological and regulatory change, and our inability or failure to adjust to our customers’
changing needs could reduce demand for our services.
We derive, and anticipate that we will continue to derive, a substantial portion of our revenue from customers in the medical industry. This industry is subject to rapid
changes in technology and governmental regulation. Changes in technology may reduce the demand for the services we provide. Additionally, the medical industry has been
characterized by a high level of consolidation that may result in the loss of one or more of our customers. Our failure to rapidly adopt and master new technologies as they are
developed in any of the industries we serve or the consolidation of one or more of our significant customers could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects.
Further, customers are regulated by the Department of Health and Human Services and other regulators. These regulators may interpret the application of their
regulations in a manner that is different than the way such regulations are currently interpreted and may impose additional regulations, either of which could reduce demand for
our services and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
12
Economic downturns could cause capital expenditures in the industries we serve to decrease, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects.
The demand for our services has been and may be vulnerable to general downturns in the United States economy. The current election cycle may cause economic
uncertainty. Our customers are affected by economic changes that decrease the need for or the profitability of their services. This can result in a decrease in the demand for our
services and potentially result in the delay or cancellation of projects by our customers. As a result, some of our customers may opt to defer or cancel pending projects. A
downturn in overall economic conditions also affects the priorities placed on various projects funded by governmental entities and federal, state and local spending levels.
In general, economic uncertainty makes it difficult to estimate our customers’ requirements for our services. Our plan for growth depends on expanding our company.
If economic factors in any of the regions in which we plan to expand are not favorable to the growth and development of the medical industry, we may not be able to carry out
our growth strategy, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Other Risks Relating to Our Company and Results of Operations
Our operating results may fluctuate due to factors that are difficult to forecast and not within our control.
Our past operating results may not be accurate indicators of future performance, and you should not rely on such results to predict our future performance.
Our operating results have fluctuated and could fluctuate in the future. Factors that may contribute to fluctuations include:
●
●
●
our ability to effectively manage our working capital;
our ability to satisfy customer demands in a timely and cost-effective manner; and
pricing and availability of labor.
Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions that we use to prepare our financial statements.
To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements that
affect the reported values of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Areas requiring significant estimates by our
management include:
●
●
●
●
●
contract costs and profits and revenue recognition of contract change order claims;
provisions for uncollectible receivables and customer claims and recoveries of costs from subcontractors, suppliers and others;
valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations;
accruals for estimated liabilities, including litigation and insurance reserves; and
goodwill and intangible asset impairment assessment.
At the time the estimates and assumptions are made, we believe they are accurate based on the information available. However, our actual results could differ from,
and could require adjustments to, those estimates.
13
We exercise judgment in determining our provision for taxes in the United States that are subject to tax authority audit review that could result in additional tax liability
and potential penalties that would negatively affect our net income.
The amounts we record in intercompany transactions for services, licenses, funding and other items affects our potential tax liabilities. Our tax filings are subject to
review or audit by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and state, local and foreign taxing authorities. We exercise judgment in determining our worldwide provision for income
and other taxes and, in the ordinary course of our business, there may be transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Examinations of our tax
returns could result in significant proposed adjustments and assessment of additional taxes that could adversely affect our tax provision and net income in the period or periods
for which that determination is made.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
Our common stock price has fluctuated in recent years, and the trading price of our common stock is likely to continue to reflect changes, which could result in losses to
investors and litigation.
In addition to changes to market prices based on our results of operations and the factors discussed elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, the market price of and
trading volume for our common stock may change for a variety of other reasons, not necessarily related to our actual operating performance. The capital markets have
experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the
trading price of our common stock. In addition, the average daily trading volume of the securities of small companies can be very low, which may contribute to future volatility.
Factors that could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly include:
●
●
●
●
the results of operating and financial performance and prospects of other companies in our industry;
strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
announcements of innovations, increased service capabilities, new or terminated customers or new, amended or terminated contracts by our competitors;
the public’s reaction to our press releases, media coverage and other public announcements, and filings with the SEC;
● market conditions for providers of services to the medical industry;
●
●
●
lack of securities analyst coverage or speculation in the press or investment community about us or opportunities in the markets in which we compete;
changes in government policies in the United States and, if our international business increases, in other foreign countries;
changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities or research analysts who track our common stock or failure of our actual results of operations to
meet those expectations;
●
dilution caused by the conversion into common stock of convertible debt securities or by the exercise of outstanding warrants;
● market and industry perception of our success, or lack thereof, in pursuing our growth strategy;
●
●
●
●
●
●
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;
any lawsuit involving us, our services or our products;
arrival and departure of key personnel;
government investigations of our business activities;
sales of common stock by us, our investors or members of our management team; and
changes in general market, economic and political conditions in the United States and global economies or financial markets, including those resulting from natural
or man-made disasters.
14
Any of these factors, as well as broader market and industry factors, may result in large and sudden changes in the trading volume of our common stock and could
seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. This may prevent stockholders from being able to sell their shares at or above
the price they paid for shares of our common stock, if at all. In addition, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, stockholders often institute
securities class action litigation against that company. Our involvement in any class action suit or other legal proceeding, including the existing lawsuits filed against us and
described elsewhere in this report, could divert our senior management’s attention and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects.
The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our common stock could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common
stock and could impair our future ability to raise capital through common stock offerings. As of December 31, 2019 and June 3, 2020, we had 7,390,261 and 9,385,582 shares
of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively, of which 4,359,807 and 3,351,545 shares, respectively, were restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by
the SEC. The sale of these shares into the open market may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
As of December 31, 2019 and June 3, 2020, there were also outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,311,916 and 734,009 shares of our common stock,
respectively, at a weighted-average exercise price of $9.35 and $12.20 per share, respectively, all of which were exercisable as of such date. The conversion of a significant
principal amount of our outstanding convertible debt securities into shares of our common stock, our repayment of a significant amount of principal, interest or other amounts
payable under such debt securities in shares of our common stock or the exercise of outstanding warrants at prices below the market price of our common stock could adversely
affect the market price of our common stock. The market price of our common stock also may be adversely affected by our issuance of shares of our capital stock or convertible
securities in connection with future acquisitions, or in connection with other financing efforts.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock.
We have never paid cash dividends and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any
earnings to finance our operations and growth. As a result, any short-term return on your investment will depend on the market price of our common stock, and only
appreciation of the price of our common stock, which may never occur, will provide a return to stockholders. The decision whether to pay dividends will be made by our board
of directors in light of conditions then existing, including, but not limited to, factors such as our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, business
conditions, and covenants under any applicable contractual arrangements. Investors seeking cash dividends should not invest in our common stock.
If equity research analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our common stock, the market
price of our common stock will likely decline.
The trading market for our common stock will rely in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts, over whom we have no control, publish about us
and our business. We may never obtain research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the
market price for our common stock could decline. In the event we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage, the market price of our common stock could decline if one or
more equity analysts downgrade our common stock or if those analysts issue unfavorable commentary, even if it is inaccurate, or cease publishing reports about us or our
business.
15
A failure by us to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.
Maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to produce accurate and complete financial reports and to help prevent financial
fraud. In addition, such control is required in order to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. While we have undertaken remedial steps to
improve our financial reporting process, including the implementation of a firm-wide accounting information system that collects, stores and processes financial and accounting
data on a consolidated basis for use in meeting our reporting obligations, there are no assurances that our internal control over financial reporting has been effective at any time
since then. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we did not have effective controls over financial reporting. Our management has identified material weaknesses in our
internal controls related to deficiency in the design of internal controls and segregation of duties.
If we are unable to maintain adequate internal controls or fail to correct material weaknesses in such controls noted by our management or our independent registered
public accounting firm, our business and operating results could be adversely affected, we could again fail to meet our obligations to report our operating results accurately and
completely and our continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market could be jeopardized. We have implemented a policy whereby any external communications need to be
reviewed and approved by a member of our Board of Directors, as well as our outside legal counsel.
Complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies will increase our costs and the demands on management and could harm our operating results.
As a public company and particularly after we cease to be an “emerging growth company,” we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses. In addition,
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the Nasdaq Capital Market impose various requirements on public companies, including requiring
changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and
regulations have increased and will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs and have made and will continue to make some activities more
time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules and regulations make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we
may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or to incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. These rules and regulations could also make
it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or board committees or as executive officers.
If we do not manage our growth effectively, our revenue, business and operating results may be harmed.
Our expansion strategy includes the possible acquisitions of other SaaS companies. We may not be able to identify, secure and manage future acquisitions successfully.
The acquisition of any future businesses may require a greater than anticipated investment of operational and financial resources as we seek to institute uniform standards and
controls across acquired businesses. Acquisitions may also result in the diversion of management and resources, increases in administrative costs, including those relating to the
assimilation of new employees, and costs associated with any financings undertaken in connection with such acquisitions. We cannot assure you that any acquisition we
undertake, including those we have already made, will be successful. Future growth will also place additional demands on our management, sales, and marketing resources, and
may require us to hire and train additional employees. We will need to expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate our growth, and we may not have the
resources to do so in the time frames required. The failure to manage our growth effectively will materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
We may be unable to implement our strategy of acquiring additional companies and such acquisitions may subject us to additional unknown risks.
We may make future acquisitions of SaaS companies in markets that we do not serve now. We may not be able to reach agreements with such companies on favorable
terms or at all. In completing acquisitions, we rely upon the representations and warranties and indemnities made by the sellers with respect to each acquisition as well as our
own due diligence investigation. We cannot assure you that such representations and warranties will be true and correct or that our due diligence will uncover all materially
adverse facts relating to the operations and financial condition of the acquired companies or their businesses. To the extent that we are required to pay for undisclosed
obligations of an acquired company, or if material misrepresentations exist, we may not realize the expected economic benefit from such acquisition and our ability to seek legal
recourse from the seller may be limited.
16
The value of our goodwill and other intangible assets may decline.
As of December 31, 2019, there was goodwill and other intangible assets of $8,571,686. We evaluate goodwill at least annually, and will do so more frequently if
events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. Many of the assumptions and estimates that we make in order to estimate the fair value of our intangible
assets directly impact the results of impairment testing, including an estimate of future expected revenues, earnings and cash flows, and the discount rates applied to expected
cash flows. We are able to influence the outcome and ultimate results based on the assumptions and estimates we choose for testing. To avoid undue influence, we have set
criteria that are followed in making assumptions and estimates. The determination of whether goodwill or acquired intangible assets have become impaired involves a significant
level of judgment in the assumptions underlying the approach used to determine the value of our reporting unit. Changes in our strategy or market conditions could significantly
impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded amounts of intangible assets.
Any future acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of indebtedness and increased amortization expense.
Any future acquisitions are likely to result in issuances of equity securities, which will be dilutive to the equity interests of existing stockholders, and may involve the
incurrence of debt, which will require us to maintain cash flows sufficient to make payments of principal and interest, the assumption of known and unknown liabilities, and the
amortization of expenses related to intangible assets, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, the
acquisition of SCWorx resulted in a change of control of our company involving the issuance of 5,263,158 shares of common stock and 190,000 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, convertible into 500,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment), and the issuance of warrants to purchase an additional 250,000 shares of common stock, at an
exercise price of $5.70 per share.
We may become involved in litigation which could harm the value of our business.
Because of the nature of our business and the exit from lines of business, there is a risk of litigation. Any litigation could cause us to incur substantial expenses
whether or not we prevail, which would add to our costs and affect the capital available for our operations.
On April 29, 2020, a securities class action case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its CEO.
The action is captioned Daniel Yannes, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff vs. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants. On May 27,
2020, a second securities class was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its CEO. The action is captioned
Caitlin Leeburn, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants.
Both lawsuits allege that the Company and its CEO mislead investors in connection with the Company’s April 13, 2020 press release with respect to the sale of
COVID-19 rapid test kits. The plaintiffs in these actions are seeking unspecified monetary damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these proceedings. In
connection with these actions, the Company may be obligated to indemnify its CEO and any of its officers or directors who incur any liability or expense incurred as a result of
serving at our company’s request in such capacity.
Economic uncertainty impacts our business and financial results, and a renewed recession could materially affect us in the future.
Periods of economic slowdown or recession could lead to a reduction in demand for our software and services, which in turn could reduce our revenues and results of
operations and adversely affect our financial position. Our business will be dependent upon business discretionary spending and therefore is affected by business confidence as
well as the future performance of the United States and global economies. As a result, our results of operations are susceptible to economic slowdowns and recessions.
We depend on the services of key executives, and the loss of these executives could materially harm our business and our strategic direction if we were unable to replace
them with executives of equal experience and capabilities.
Our future success significantly depends on the continued service and performance of our key management personnel, especially our CEO and founder, Marc Schessel.
We cannot prevent members of senior management from terminating their employment with us even if we have an employment agreement with them. Losing the services of
members of senior management could materially harm our business until a suitable replacement is found, and such replacement may not have equal experience and capabilities.
We have not purchased life insurance covering any members of our senior management.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, rapidly changing and increasingly fragmented, and we may not be able to compete effectively, especially against
competitors with greater financial resources or marketplace presence.
We face competition from other SaaS companies. Many of the companies with which we will compete have greater financial and technical resources than are available
to us. Our failure to compete effectively could result in a significant loss of customers, which could adversely affect our operating results.
17
Our limited operating history makes forecasting our revenues and expenses difficult.
Revenues and operating results are difficult to forecast accurately because of our limited operating history as a combined business, which commenced in February of
2019, and because SCWorx’s results generally depend primarily on our ability to secure term service/license agreements, which are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty.
As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending appropriately to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which may result in substantial losses and a lower
market price for our common stock. The Company’s results will also depend on its ability to enter into agreements to acquire and sell PPE and test kits. The sale of PPE and
rapid test kits for COVID-19 represent a new business for the Company and is subject to the myriad risks associated with any new venture. The Company has for example
encountered great difficulty in attempting to secure reliable sources of supply for both COVID-19 Rapid Test Kits and PPE including, 3M N95 masks, which are the preferred
medical grade mask of US healthcare companies. Further, the Company has encountered shipping delays with regard to masks and other PPE, and significant quality related
issues regarding N95 masks. In addition, regarding its sourcing of COVID-19 Rapid Test Kits, the Company has encountered significant shipping delays, as well as reduced
quantities. Consequently, there is no assurance as to the timing or quantities of any future deliveries of COVID-19 Test Kits. The Company has yet to complete the sale of any
COVID-19 rapid test kits and had no test kits or PPE in inventory as of December 31, 2019 and had 19,000 test kit units as of the date of this report. In addition, changes in
FDA processes governing the sale of COVID-19 serology tests could have the effect of rendering the COVID-19 serology tests to be sold by the Company not saleable in the
United States, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. See Government Regulation. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate
any significant revenue from the sale of PPE products or rapid test kits.
We may need additional capital to support our operations or the growth of our business, and we cannot be certain that this capital will be available on reasonable terms
when required, or at all.
In order for us to grow and execute our business plan successfully, we may require additional financing which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. If
such financing is available, it may be dilutive to the equity interests of existing stockholders. Failure to obtain financing will have a material adverse effect on our financial
position. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support the operation or growth of
our business could be significantly impaired and our operating results may be harmed.
If we fail to meet the continued listing standards and corporate governance requirements for Nasdaq Capital Market companies, we may be subject to de-listing.
Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain this listing, we are required to comply with various continued listing
standards, including corporate governance requirements, set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules. These standards and requirements include, but are not limited to, maintaining a
minimum bid price for our common stock, as well as having a majority of our Board members qualify as independent. If we fail to meet any one of these requirements for an
extended period of time, we will be subject to possible de-listing. Currently, trading in our common stock has been halted by the Nasdaq Stock Market. See Item 3. Legal
Proceedings of this Annual Report on 10-K. In addition, on June 1, 2020, The Nasdaq Stock Market notified us that due to the late filing of this 2019 annual Report on Form
10-K, we were no longer in compliance with their listing rule which requires us to timely file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing of this
Annual Report on 10-K has cured this deficiency.
On April 22, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission ordered that trading in the securities of the Company be suspended because of “questions and concerns
regarding the adequacy and accuracy of publicly available information in the marketplace” (the “SEC Trading Halt”). The SEC Trading Halt expired May 5, 2020, at 11:59 PM
EDT.
Also in April 2020, the Company received related inquiries from The Nasdaq Stock Market and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company
has been fully cooperating with these agencies and providing information and documents, as requested. On May 5, 2020, the Nasdaq Stock Market informed the Company that
it has initiated a “T12 trading halt,” which means the halt will remain in place until the Company has fully satisfied Nasdaq's request for additional information. The Company
continues to fully cooperate with Nasdaq and respond to Nasdaq’s information requests as they are issued. The T12 trading halt remains in effect as of the filing of this Form 10-
K.
Our common stock may be affected by limited trading volume and price fluctuations, which could adversely impact the value of our common stock and our ability to grow
our business.
There has been limited trading in our common stock, and there can be no assurance that an active trading market in our common stock will either develop or be
maintained. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market
price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in
the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may also cause short
sellers to enter the market periodically in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no
assurances that the market for our common stock will be stable or that our share price will appreciate over time.
18
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 obtain working capital financing;
additions or departures of key personnel;
sales of our common stock;
our ability to execute our business plan;
operating results that fall below expectations;
regulatory developments; and
economic and other external factors.
In addition, the securities markets from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular
companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
The periodic availability of shares for sale upon the expiration of any statutory holding period or lockup agreements, could create a circumstance commonly referred to
as an “overhang”, in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring,
also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem
reasonable or appropriate.
We may be unable to establish, protect or enforce our intellectual property rights adequately.
Our success will depend in part on our ability to establish, protect and enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. Our inability to protect our
tradenames, service marks and other intellectual property rights from infringement, piracy, counterfeiting or other unauthorized use could negatively affect our business. If we
fail to establish, protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, we may lose an important advantage in the market in which we compete. Our intellectual property rights may
not be sufficient to help us maintain our position in the market and our competitive advantages. Monitoring unauthorized uses of and enforcing our intellectual property rights
can be difficult and costly. Legal intellectual property actions are inherently uncertain and may not be successful, and may require a substantial amount of resources and
management attention.
We currently hosts our solution, serve our customers, and support our operations in the United States through an agreement with a third party hosting and
infrastructure provider, Rackspace. The Company incorporates standard IT security measures, including but not limited to; firewalls, disaster recovery, backup, etc.
Circumstances outside our control could pose a threat to our intellectual property rights. For example, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in
the United States or other countries in which we seek protection of our marks or our copyrighted works. Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not
be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights may harm our business or our ability to compete.
Changes in laws, regulations and other requirements could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
We are subject to the laws, regulations and other requirements of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Changes to these laws could have a material adverse impact on
the revenue, profit or the operation of our business.
Disruptions in our information technology systems or security breaches of confidential customer information or personal employee information could have an adverse
impact on our operations.
Our operations are dependent upon the integrity, security and consistent operation of various information technology systems and data centers that process
transactions, communication systems and various other software applications used throughout our operations. Disruptions in these systems could have an adverse impact on our
operations. We could encounter difficulties in developing new systems or maintaining and upgrading existing systems. Such difficulties could lead to significant expenses or to
losses due to disruption in our business operations.
19
In addition, our information technology systems are subject to the risk of infiltration or data theft. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or
degrade service, or sabotage information technology systems change frequently and may be difficult to detect or prevent over long periods of time. Moreover, the hardware,
software or applications we develop or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise the
security of our information systems. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities through fraud or deception aimed at our employees,
contractors or temporary staff. In the event that the security of our information systems is compromised, confidential information could be misappropriated, and system
disruptions could occur. Any such misappropriation or disruption could cause significant harm to our reputation, lead to a loss of sales or profits or cause us to incur significant
costs to reimburse third parties for damages.
Our current insurance policies may not provide adequate levels of coverage against all claims, and we may incur losses that are not covered by our insurance.
We believe we maintain insurance coverage that is customary for businesses of our size and type; however, we may be unable to insure against certain types of losses
or claims, or the cost of such insurance may be prohibitive. For example, although we carry insurance for breaches of our computer network security, there can be no assurance
that such insurance will cover all potential losses or claims or that the dollar limits of such insurance will be sufficient to provide full coverage against all losses or claims.
Uninsured losses or claims, if they occur, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and results of operations.
We may be required to pay for the defense of our clients, officers, or directors in accordance with certain indemnification provisions.
Our company provides indemnification of varying scope to certain customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from
the use of our services. In accordance with authoritative guidance for accounting for guarantees, we evaluate estimated losses for such indemnification. Management considers
such factors as the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. To date, no such claims have been filed
against our company and, as a result, no liability has been recorded in our financial statements.
As permitted under Delaware law, our company has agreements whereby we indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or
director is, or was, serving at our company’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these
indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce our financial exposure and may enable
us to recover a portion of any such payments. In connection with the Class Action claims and investigations described in Item 3. Legal Proceedings of this Annual Report on 10-
K, we are obligated to indemnify our officers and directors for costs incurred in defending against these claims and investigations. Because we currently do not have the
resources to pay for these costs, our directors and officers liability insurance carrier has agreed to indemnify these persons even though the $750,000 retention under such policy
has not yet been met. Ultimately, we will be obligated to pay the amount of the retention to the extent of actual settlement and defense costs, which payments could have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
On April 29, 2020, a securities class action case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its CEO.
The action is captioned Daniel Yannes, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff vs. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants. This lawsuit
alleges that the Company and its CEO mislead investors in connection with the Company’s April 13, 2020 press release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits. The
plaintiffs in this action are seeking unspecified monetary damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these proceedings. In connection with this litigation, the
Company may be obligated to indemnify its CEO and any of its officers or directors who incur any liability or expense incurred as a result of serving at our company’s request
in such capacity.
On May 27, 2020, a second securities class was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its CEO. The
action is captioned Caitlin Leeburn, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants. This lawsuit also
alleges that the Company and its CEO mislead investors in connection with the Company’s April 13, 2020 press release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits. The
plaintiffs in this action are also seeking unspecified monetary damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these proceedings.
In addition, following the April 13, 2020 press release and related disclosures (related to COVID-19 rapid test kits), the Securities and Exchange Commission made an
inquiry regarding the disclosures the Company made in relation to the transaction involving COVID-19 test kits. On April 22, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission
ordered that trading in the securities of the Company be suspended because of “questions and concerns regarding the adequacy and accuracy of publicly available information in
the marketplace” (the “SEC Trading Halt”). The SEC Trading Halt expired May 5, 2020, at 11:59 PM EDT. The Company is fully cooperating with the SEC’s investigation and
is providing documents and other requested information.
In April 2020, the Company received related inquiries from The Nasdaq Stock Market and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company has
been fully cooperating with these agencies and providing information and documents, as requested. On May 5, 2020, the Nasdaq Stock Market informed the Company that it
has initiated a “T12 trading halt,” which means the halt will remain in place until the Company has fully satisfied Nasdaq's request for additional information. The Company
continues to fully cooperate with Nasdaq and respond to Nasdaq’s information requests as they are issued. The T12 trading halt remains in effect as of the filing of this Form 10-
K.
Also in April 2020, the Company was contacted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey, which is seeking information and documents from the
Company’s officers and directors relating primarily to the April 13, 2020 press release concerning COVID-19 rapid test kits. The Company is fully cooperating with the U.S.
Attorney’s Office in its investigation.
In connection with these actions, the Company may be obligated to indemnify its CEO and any of its officers or directors who incur any liability or expense incurred
as a result of serving at our company’s request in such capacity.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 2. Properties
Our company does not own any real property. The principal executive offices are located at an office complex in New York, New York, consisting of shared office
space that we are leasing. The lease had an original one-year term that commenced on December 1, 2015, which was renewed until November 30, 2018 and now is under a
month-to-month lease agreement. The lease allows for the limited use of private offices, conference rooms, mail handling, videoconferencing, and certain other business
services.
We also have a lease for office space in Greenwich, Connecticut. The lease expires in May 2021.
We believe that our facilities are adequate for our current needs.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
In conducting our business, we may become involved in legal proceedings. We will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount
within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might
include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred.
On April 29, 2020, a securities class action case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its CEO.
The action is captioned Daniel Yannes, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff vs. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants.
On May 27, 2020, a second securities class was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its CEO. The
action is captioned Caitlin Leeburn, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants. Both lawsuits
allege that the Company and its CEO mislead investors in connection with the Company’s April 13, 2020 press release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits. The
plaintiffs in these actions are seeking unspecified monetary damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these proceedings. In connection with these actions, the
Company may be obligated to indemnify its CEO and any of its officers or directors who incur any liability or expense incurred as a result of serving at our company’s request
in such capacity.
In addition, following the April 13, 2020 press release and related disclosures (related to COVID-19 rapid test kits), the Securities and Exchange Commission made an
inquiry regarding the disclosures the Company made in relation to the transaction involving COVID-19 test kits. On April 22, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission
ordered that trading in the securities of the Company be suspended because of “questions and concerns regarding the adequacy and accuracy of publicly available information in
the marketplace” (the “SEC Trading Halt”). The SEC Trading Halt expired May 5, 2020, at 11:59 PM EDT. The Company is fully cooperating with the SEC’s investigation and
is providing documents and other requested information.
In April 2020, the Company received related inquiries from The Nasdaq Stock Market and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company has
been fully cooperating with these agencies and providing information and documents, as requested. On May 5, 2020, the Nasdaq Stock Market informed the Company that it
has initiated a “T12 trading halt,” which means the halt will remain in place until the Company has fully satisfied Nasdaq's request for additional information. The Company
continues to fully cooperate with Nasdaq and respond to Nasdaq’s information requests as they are issued. The T12 trading halt remains in effect as of the filing of this Form 10-
K.
Also in April 2020, the Company was contacted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey, which is seeking information and documents from the
Company’s officers and directors relating primarily to the April 13, 2020 press release concerning COVID-19 rapid test kits. The Company is fully cooperating with the U.S.
Attorney’s Office in its investigation.

Dividends
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our shares of common stock, and we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We
anticipate that we will retain any earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. Any future determination relating to our dividend
policy will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on a number of factors, including future earnings, capital requirements, financial conditions and
future prospects and other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Furthermore, our ability to pay dividends is limited by the Delaware General Corporation Law,
which provides that a corporation may pay dividends only out of existing “surplus,” which is defined as the amount by which a corporation’s net assets exceeds its stated
capital.
Refer to Note 10, Stockholders’ Equity, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a non–cash dividend related to the decrease in the exercise price of
certain warrants.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect
Management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may” “will,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate” and “continue,” or similar words. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us
and members of our management team as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risk and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-
looking statements.
Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Important factors known to us could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or
revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in the future operating results over time. We believe that
its assumptions are based upon reasonable data derived from and known about our business and operations and the business and operations of our company. No assurances
are made that actual results of operations or the results of our future activities will not differ materially from its assumptions. Factors that could cause differences include, but
are not limited to, expected market demand for our services, fluctuations in pricing for materials, and competition.
Our Business
On February 1, 2019, we acquired SCWorx Corp. in a stock for stock transaction, in connection with which we changed our name to SCWorx Corp. and changed our
trading symbol on the Nasdaq to WORX. SCWorx is a leading provider of data content and services related to the repair, normalization and interoperability of information for
healthcare providers and big data analytics for the healthcare industry.
SCWorx has developed and markets health information technology solutions and associated services that improve healthcare processes and information flow within
hospitals. SCWorx’s software platform enables healthcare providers to simplify, repair, and organize its data (“data normalization”), allows the data to be utilized across
multiple internal software applications (“interoperability”) and provides the basis for sophisticated data analytics (“big data”). SCWorx’s solutions are designed to improve the
flow of information quickly and accurately between the existing supply chain, electronic medical records, clinical systems, and patient billing functions. The software is
designed to achieve multiple operational benefits such as supply chain cost reductions, decreased accounts receivables aging, accelerated and more accurate billing, contract
optimization, increased supply chain management and cost visibility, synchronous charge description master (“CDM”) and control of vendor rebates and contract administration
fees.
SCWorx empowers healthcare providers to maintain comprehensive access and visibility to an advanced business intelligence that enables better decision-making and
reductions in product costs and utilization, ultimately leading to accelerated and accurate patient billing. SCWorx’s software modules perform separate functions as follows:
●
virtualized Item Master File repair, expansion and automation;
● CDM management;
●
●
●
●
●
contract management;
request for proposal automation;
rebate management;
big data analytics modeling; and
data integration and warehousing.
23
SCWorx continues to provide transformational data-driven solutions to many healthcare providers in the United States. The Company’s clients are geographically
dispersed throughout the country. The Company’s focus is to assist healthcare providers with issues that they have pertaining to data interoperability. SCWorx provides these
solutions through a combination of direct sales and relationships with strategic partners.
SCWorx’s software solutions are delivered to its clients within a fixed term period, typically a three-to-five-year contracted term, where such software is hosted in
SCWorx data centers (Amazon Web Service’s “AWS” or RackSpace) and accessed by such clients through a secure connection in a software as a service (“SaaS”) delivery
method.
SCWorx currently sells its solutions and services in the United States to hospitals and health systems through its direct sales force and its distribution and reseller
partnerships.
Direct-Worx — In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, SCWorx established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Direct-Worx, LLC, which will utilize the
SCWorx database to identify trends within the purchasing supply chain and use this information to source and provide critical, difficult-to-find items for the healthcare
industry. Items are becoming increasingly difficult to source due to unexpected disruptions within the supply chain, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. These products currently
include:
Test Kits — the Company has identified multiple potential sources for Rapid Test Kits for COVID-19.
PPE — Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) includes items such as masks, gloves, gowns, shields, etc. The Company has extensive experience and a database of
items specifically designated to assist the healthcare industry in fulfilling its inventory demands.
The sale of PPE and rapid test kits for COVID-19 represent a new business for the Company and is subject to the myriad risks associated with any new venture. The
Company has for example encountered great difficulty in attempting to secure reliable sources of supply for both COVID-19 Rapid Test Kits and PPE including, 3M N95
masks, which are the preferred medical grade mask of US healthcare companies. Further, the Company has encountered shipping delays with regard to masks and other PPE,
and significant quality related issues regarding N95 masks. In addition, regarding its sourcing of COVID-19 Rapid Test Kits, the Company has encountered significant shipping
delays, as well as reduced quantities. Consequently, there is no assurance as to the timing or quantities of any future deliveries of COVID-19 Test Kits. The Company has yet to
complete the sale of any COVID-19 rapid test kits and had no test kits or PPE in inventory as of December 31, 2019 and had 19,000 test kit units as of the date of this report. In
addition, changes in FDA processes governing the sale of COVID-19 serology tests could have the effect of rendering the COVID-19 serology tests to be sold by the Company
not saleable in the United States, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. See Government Regulation. The Company intends to begin selling COVID-19
rapid test kits in 2020. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate any significant revenue from the sale of PPE products or rapid test kits.
SCWorx, as a result of the acquisition, also operates an online event ticketing platform focused on serving regional mixed martial arts promotions. Due to the relative
size of the ticketing business and how information is reported to the Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Company includes such ticketing business as part of its
SaaS business reporting unit.
The Company’s SaaS business is focused on streamlining three core healthcare provider systems; supply chain, financial and clinical enabling providers’ enterprise
systems to work as one automated and seamless business management system. SCWorx offers an advanced software solution for the management of health care providers’
foundational business applications, empowering its customers to significantly reduce costs, drive better clinical outcomes and enhance such providers’ revenue. SCWorx
supports the interrelationship between the three above-referenced core healthcare provider systems. This solution moves data from one application to another to drive supply
cost reductions, optimize contracts, increase supply chain management cost visibility and control rebates and contract administration fees.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements. These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States which requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. By their nature,
these estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We evaluate our estimates based on our historical experience and various other assumptions that
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates relate to revenue recognition, the assessment of recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, the
assessment of useful lives and the recoverability of property, plant and equipment, the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation expense, recognition and
measurement of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, the assessment of unrecognized tax benefits, and others. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and material
effects on our consolidated operating results and consolidated financial position may result. Refer to Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements, for a full description of our accounting policies.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance to U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SCWorx and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
24
Reverse Stock Split
On February 1, 2019, we effected a 1-for-19 reverse stock split with respect to the outstanding shares of our common stock. The reverse stock split was deemed
effective at the open of business on February 4, 2019. The reverse stock split did not affect the total number of shares of common stock that we are authorized to issue, which is
45,000,000 shares. The reverse stock split also did not affect the total number of shares of Series A preferred stock that we are authorized to issue, which is 900,000 shares.
Share and per share data have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the reverse stock split unless otherwise noted.
Cash
Cash is maintained with various financial institutions. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash
deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Management applies fair value accounting for significant financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair
value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Management defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are
required to be recorded at fair value, management considers the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is
estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the
lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 -
Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or
other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 - Inputs that are generally
unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Concentration of Credit and Other Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject our company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, accounts receivable and warrants. We
believe that any concentration of credit risk in its accounts receivable is substantially mitigated by our evaluation process, relatively short collection terms and the high level of
credit worthiness of its customers. We perform ongoing internal credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition, obtain deposits and limit the amount of credit extended
when deemed necessary but generally require no collateral.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had two customers representing 19% and 10% of aggregate revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we had three
customers representing 20%, 16% and 12% of aggregate revenues. At December 31, 2019, we had four customers representing 17%, 14%, 10% and 10% of aggregate accounts
receivable. At December 31, 2018, we had three customers representing 39%, 21% and 13% of aggregate accounts receivable.
25
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Our company continually monitors customer payments and maintains a reserve for estimated losses resulting from our customers’ inability to make required payments.
In determining the reserve, we evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable based upon a variety of factors. In cases where we become aware of circumstances that may
impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations, we record a specific allowance against amounts due. For all other customers, we recognize allowances for
doubtful accounts based on our historical write-off experience in conjunction with the length of time the receivables are past due, customer creditworthiness, geographic risk
and the current business environment. Actual future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from our estimates. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful
accounts as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 of $344,412 and $0, respectively.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The current portion of lease obligations are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the
consolidated balance sheets. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make
lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the
lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in
determining the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which are included in the lease ROU asset when it is
reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with
lease components only, none with non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.
Business Combinations
Our company includes the results of operations of a business we acquire in our consolidated results as of the date of acquisition. We allocate the fair value of the
purchase consideration of our acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of
purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the
synergies between the acquired businesses and our company. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The fair value of contingent consideration (earn
out) associated with acquisitions is remeasured each reporting period and adjusted accordingly. Acquisition and integration related costs are recognized separately from the
business combination and are expensed as incurred. For additional information regarding our acquisitions, refer to Note 5, Business Combinations.
Goodwill and Identified Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded as the difference between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets
acquired under a business combination. Goodwill also includes acquired assembled workforce, which does not qualify as an identifiable intangible asset. Management reviews
impairment of goodwill annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. We first assess qualitative
factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine that it is
not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary.
Identified intangible assets
Identified finite-lived intangible assets consist of ticketing software and promoter relationships resulting from the February 1, 2019 business combination. Our
identified intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 to 7 years. Management makes judgments about the
recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of
assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, we assess recoverability by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the
related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the
fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, we would accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the
new shorter useful life.
For further discussion of goodwill and identified intangible assets, refer to Note 5, Business Combinations.
26
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the related assets’ estimated
useful lives. Equipment, furniture and fixtures are being amortized over a period of three years.
Expenditures that materially increase asset life are capitalized, while ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Topic 606 to depict the transfer of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of Topic 606 we perform the following steps:
●
●
●
●
●
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
We follow the accounting revenue guidance under Topic 606 to determine whether contracts contain more than one performance obligation. Performance obligations
are the unit of accounting for revenue recognition and generally represent the distinct goods or services that are promised to the customer.
Management has identified the following performance obligations in our contracts with customers:
1. Data Normalization: which includes data preparation, product and vendor mapping, product categorization, data enrichment and other data related services,
2. Software-as-a-service (“SaaS”): which is generated from clients’ access of and usage of our hosted software solutions on a subscription basis for a specified contract
term, which is usually annually. In SaaS arrangements, the client cannot take possession of the software during the term of the contract and generally has the right to
access and use the software and receive any software upgrades published during the subscription period,
3. Maintenance: which includes ongoing data cleansing and normalization, content enrichment, and optimization, and
4. Professional Services: mainly related to specific customer projects to manage and/or analyze data and review for cost reduction opportunities.
27
A contract will typically include Data Normalization, SaaS and Maintenance, which are distinct performance obligations and are accounted for separately. The
transaction price is allocated to each separate performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. Significant judgement is required to determine the stand-alone
selling price for each distinct performance obligation and is typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a stand-alone basis. At contract
inception, an assessment of the goods and services promised in the contracts with customers is performed and a performance obligation is identified for each distinct promise to
transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services). To identify the performance obligations, management considers all the goods or services promised in
the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation has been
met. We consider control to have transferred upon delivery because we have a present right to payment at that time, we have transferred use of the good or service, and the
customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from, the good or service.
Our SaaS and Maintenance contracts typically have termination for convenience without penalty clauses and accordingly, are generally accounted for as month-to-
month agreements. If it is determined that we have not satisfied a performance obligation, revenue recognition will be deferred until the performance obligation is deemed to be
satisfied.
Revenue recognition for our performance obligations are as follows:
Data Normalization and Professional Services
Our Data Normalization and Professional Services are typically fixed fee. When these services are not combined with SaaS or Maintenance revenues as a single unit of
accounting, these revenues are recognized as the services are rendered and when contractual milestones are achieved and accepted by the customer.
SaaS and Maintenance
SaaS and Maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the contract terms beginning on the commencement date of each contract, which is the date on which our
service is made available to customers.
We do have some contracts that have payment terms that differ from the timing of revenue recognition, which requires us to assess whether the transaction price for
those contracts include a significant financing component. We have elected the practical expedient that permits an entity to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing
component if it expects that at the contract inception, the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that
good or service will be one year or less. We do not maintain contracts in which the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when
the customer pays for that good or service exceeds the one-year threshold.
In periods prior to the adoption of ASC 606, we recognized revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement existed, delivery had occurred, the sales price was
fixed or determinable, and the collectability of the resulting receivable was reasonably assured. The adoption of Topic 606 did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to our
opening retained earnings since there was no significant impact upon adoption of Topic 606. There was also no material impact to revenues, or any other financial statement
line items for the year ended December 31, 2018 as a result of applying ASC 606.
We have one revenue stream, from the SaaS business, and have not presented any varying factors that affect the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash
flows.
As of December 31, 2019, we had $1,056,637 of remaining performance obligations recorded as contract liabilities. We expect to recognize sales relating to these
existing performance obligations of $1,056,637 during the remainder of 2020.
There were no revenues that were recognized from performance obligations that were partially satisfied prior to January 1, 2018.
28
Costs to Fulfill a Contract
Costs to fulfill a contract typically include costs related to satisfying performance obligations as well as general and administrative costs that are not explicitly
chargeable to customer contracts. These expenses are recognized and expensed when incurred in accordance with ASC 340-40.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenues primarily represent data center hosting costs, consulting services and maintenance of our large data array that were incurred in delivering professional
services and maintenance of our large data array during the periods presented.
Contract Balances
Contract assets arise when the revenue associated prior to our unconditional right to receive a payment under a contract with a customer (i.e., unbilled revenue) and
are derecognized when either it becomes a receivable or the cash is received. There were no contract assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and January 1, 2018.
Contract liabilities arise when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of our company satisfying our performance obligations under the contract and are
derecognized when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied. Contract liabilities were $1,056,637 and $816,714 as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $946,539 as of January 1, 2018.
Income Taxes
Our company converted to a corporation from a limited liability company during 2018.
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes.”
Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary
differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we evaluated available evidence and concluded that we may not realize all the benefits of our deferred tax assets; therefore,
a valuation allowance was established for our deferred tax assets.
ASC Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-40
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions
for any of the reporting periods presented.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. The Tax Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax regime by,
including but not limited to, lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time
transition tax on previously untaxed accumulated earnings and profits of foreign subsidiaries, and creating new taxes on foreign sourced earnings. During the year ended
December 31, 2019, we completed the accounting for tax effects of the Tax Act under ASC 740. There were no impacts to the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
29
Stock-based Compensation Expense
We account for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the authoritative guidance on share-based payments. Under the provisions of the guidance,
stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the option or warrant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and is recognized as
expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of our stock awards for non-employees is estimated based
on the fair market value on each vesting date, accounted for under the variable-accounting method.
The authoritative guidance also requires that we measure and recognize stock-based compensation expense upon modification of the term of stock award. The stock-
based compensation expense for such modification is accounted for as a repurchase of the original award and the issuance of a new award.
Calculating stock-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the stock-based awards, stock price
volatility, and the pre-vesting option forfeiture rate. We estimate the expected life of options granted based on historical exercise patterns, which are believed to be
representative of future behavior. We estimate the volatility of our common stock on the date of grant based on historical volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the fair
value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if
factors change and we use different assumptions, its stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, we are required to estimate the
expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. We estimate the forfeiture rate based on historical experience of our stock-based awards
that are granted, exercised and cancelled. If the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from the estimate, stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different
from what was recorded in the current period. We also grant performance based restricted stock awards to employees and consultants. These awards will vest if certain
employee/consultant-specific or company-designated performance targets are achieved. If minimum performance thresholds are achieved, each award will convert into a
designated number of shares of our common stock. If minimum performance thresholds are not achieved, then no shares will be issued. Based upon the expected levels of
achievement, stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The expected levels of achievement are reassessed over the
requisite service periods and, to the extent that the expected levels of achievement change, stock-based compensation is adjusted in the period of change and recorded on the
statements of operations and the remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation is recorded over the remaining requisite service period. Refer to Note 10, Stockholders’
Equity, for additional detail.
Loss Per Share
We compute earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per
share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number
of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock
method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of
shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of December
31, 2019 and 2018, we had 1,650,511 and 371,848, respectively, common stock equivalents outstanding.
Indemnification
We provide indemnification of varying scope to certain customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of our
software. In accordance with authoritative guidance for accounting for guarantees, we evaluate estimated losses for such indemnification. We consider such factors as the degree
of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. To date, no such claims have been filed against our company and
no liability has been recorded in our financial statements.
As permitted under Delaware law, we have agreements whereby we indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director
is, or was, serving at our company’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification
agreements is unlimited. In addition, we have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce our financial exposure and may enable us to recover
any payments above the applicable policy retention, should they occur.
In connection with the Class Action claims and investigations described in Item 3. Legal Proceedings of this Annual Report on 10-K, we are obligated to indemnify
our officers and directors for costs incurred in defending against these claims and investigations. Because we currently do not have the resources to pay for these costs, our
directors and officers liability insurance carrier has agreed to indemnify these persons even though the $750,000 retention under such policy has not yet been met. Ultimately,
we will be obligated to pay the amount of the retention to the extent of actual settlement and defense costs, which payments could have a material adverse effect on the
Company.
30
Contingencies
From time to time, we may be involved in legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. We record a liability in our consolidated financial
statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Management reviews these estimates in each accounting
period as additional information becomes known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not
recorded in the consolidated financial statements. If a loss is probable but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, we disclose the loss contingency and an estimate
of possible loss or range of loss (unless such an estimate cannot be made). We do not recognize gain contingencies until they are realized. Legal costs incurred in connection
with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Refer to Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies, for further information.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to allowance for
doubtful accounts, the estimated useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, equity component of convertible debt, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax
asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that
are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent
there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-
02”). ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, on the
balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months, as well as the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. Disclosures are required to provide the
amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. A modified retrospective transition approach is provided for lessees of leases existing at, or entered into after,
the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases
(Topic 842) Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”). ASU 2018-11 allows all entities adopting ASU 2016-02 to choose an additional (and optional) transition method of
adoption, under which an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings in the period of adoption. ASU 2018-11 also allows lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are met.
We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 in the quarter beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption resulted in the recognition of additional disclosures and a
right of use asset of approximately $53,000 included as a component of prepaid expenses and other assets and a lease liability of approximately $53,000, which is included as a
component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest
Entities (“ASU 2018-17”). ASU 2018-17 provides that indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional
basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. ASU 2018-17 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and the adoption of the standard did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair
Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and
earlier adoption is permitted. We adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”),
which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying
amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020,
and the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Stock-based Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting, which amends the
existing accounting standards for share-based payments to nonemployees. This ASU aligns much of the guidance on measuring and classifying nonemployee awards with that of
awards to employees. Under the new guidance, the measurement of nonemployee equity awards is fixed on the grant date. The effective date for the standard is for interim
periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, but no earlier than our adoption date of Topic 606. The new guidance is required to be
applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. We adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, and the adoption
of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
31
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”) “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASC 326”): Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments” which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing
incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model which requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. It also eliminates the
concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather
than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-
10 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASC 2019-10”), which defers the effective date of
ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for public entities which meet the definition of a smaller
reporting company. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023. Management is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the
consolidated financial statements. The effect will largely depend on the composition and credit quality of our investment portfolio and the economic conditions at the time of
adoption.
Results of Operations
The COVID-19 Pandemic has disrupted our business and the business of our hospital customers.
Our operations and business have experienced disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic spreading throughout the United
States and the world. The New York and New Jersey area, where the Company is headquartered, is currently at one of the epicenters of the coronavirus outbreak in the United
States. The Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its team members since the outbreak.
In addition, the Company’s customers (hospitals) have also experienced extraordinary disruptions to their businesses and supply chains, while experiencing
unprecedented demand for health care services related to COVID-19. As a result of these extraordinary disruptions to our customers’ business, our customers are currently
focused on meeting the nation’s health care needs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, there is a significant risk that our customers will not be able to focus any
resources on expanding the utilization of our services, which could adversely impact our future growth prospects, at least until the adverse effects of the pandemic subside. In
addition, the financial impact of COVID-19 on our hospital customers could cause the hospital to delay payments due to us for services, which could negatively impact our cash
flows.
We are endeavoring to mitigate these risks through the sale of personal protective equipment (“PPE”) and COVID-19 rapid test kits to the health care industry,
including many of our hospital customers. The sale of PPE and rapid test kits for COVID-19 represent a new business for the Company and is subject to the myriad risks
associated with any new venture. The Company has for example encountered great difficulty in attempting to secure reliable sources of supply for both COVID-19 Rapid Test
Kits and PPE including, 3M N95 masks, which are the preferred medical grade mask of US healthcare companies. Further, the Company has encountered shipping delays with
regard to masks and other PPE, and significant quality related issues regarding N95 masks. In addition, regarding its sourcing of COVID-19 Rapid Test Kits, the Company has
encountered significant shipping delays, as well as reduced quantities. Consequently, there is no assurance as to the timing or quantities of any future deliveries of COVID-19
Test Kits. The Company has yet to complete the sale of any COVID-19 rapid test kits and had no test kits or PPE in inventory as of December 31, 2019 and had 19,000 test kit
units as of the date of this report. In addition, changes in FDA processes governing the sale of COVID-19 serology tests could have the effect of rendering the COVID-19
serology tests to be sold by the Company not saleable in the United States, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. See Government Regulation. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate any significant revenue from the sale of PPE products or rapid test kits.
The Company has yet to complete the sale of any COVID-19 rapid test kits. Through the date of filing we have not generated any material revenue from the sale of
PPE.

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $5,548,119, compared to revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018, which was $3,421,937. The increase in
revenue is primarily related to revenue from the addition of new multi-year customer contracts during 2019, data consulting projects completed during 2019, license renewals in
2019, and monthly maintenance revenue from new customers in the last half of 2018. Given the disruption caused to our hospital customers by the COVID-19 pandemic, we
expect our near term revenues to be adversely impacted. Customer retention includes monthly and annual recurring revenue that should not be significantly impacted by the
pandemic.
Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $12,404,731 to $13,063,526 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $658,795 in the same period of
2018. Salary and wages increased approximately $1.7 million due to our hiring of personnel in 2019 and having no employees in 2018. Insurance increased by approximately
$156,000 due to an increase in Directors and Officers insurance and other insurance coverages. Travel increased by approximately $279,000 mainly related to sales
opportunities. We expect travel expenses to decrease significantly in 2020. Bad debt expense increased to $344,412 in 2019 from $0 in 2018. Accounting and legal expenses
increased approximately $1.6 million due to the regulatory filings required and the acquisition completed on February 1, 2019 and the listing of the Company’s stock on the
Nasdaq Stock Market. We also expect legal and accounting fees to decrease in 2020. Stock-based compensation expense increased $7,482,254 related to equity awards to
employees, directors, and consultants and the transfer of common shares by our CEO and a former significant shareholder to non-employee consultants. SEC related expenses
increased approximately $287,000. We expect stock-based compensation to be significant in 2020 due to equity awards made to officers, directors, employees and consultants in
April 2020.
We had other income of $584,991 in 2019 compared to other expense of $229,424 in 2018. In 2019, there was a gain on the fair value of convertible note receivable of
$372,282 compared to a loss on fair value of asset of $112,944 in 2018. Interest expense decreased from $220,091 in 2018 to $23,720 in 2019. The decrease was a result of the
conversion of the debt to equity in 2019. The Company had a gain on the fair value of asset (warrant) in 2019 of $55,000 compared to a loss of $66,000 in 2018.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. The Tax Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax regime by,
including but not limited to, lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time
transition tax on previously untaxed accumulated earnings and profits of foreign subsidiaries, and creating new taxes on foreign sourced earnings. As of December 31, 2018, the
Company completed the accounting for tax effects of the Tax Act under ASC 740.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Going Concern
The following discussion of SCWorx’s Liquidity and Capital Resources with regard to sources and uses of cash in 2019 is not indicative of the future sources and uses
of cash by the combined Company after giving effect to the acquisition of SCWorx, which occurred on February 1, 2019. Management has concluded and our auditors have
indicated in their report on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 that conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern since we may not have sufficient capital resources from operations and existing financing arrangements to meet our operating expenses and
working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2019, we had a working capital deficit of $1,768,834 and accumulated deficit of $12,794,473. During the year ended
December 31, 2019, we had a net loss of $11,312,500 and used $4,691,290 of cash in operations. We have historically incurred operating losses and may continue to incur
operating losses for the foreseeable future. We believe that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This may hinder our future
ability to obtain financing or may force us to obtain financing on less favorable terms than would otherwise be available. If we are unable to develop sufficient revenues and
additional customers for our products and services, we may not generate enough revenue to sustain our business, and we may fail, in which case our stockholders would suffer a
total loss of their investment. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
As of June 3, 2020, we had only limited cash on hand, and we are experiencing negative cash flows from operations. Consequently, we need to raise additional capital
in the near term to fund our operations and the implementation of our business plan.
On May 5, 2020, we received $293,972 in financing from the US government’s Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”). We entered into a loan agreement with Bank of
America. This loan agreement was pursuant to the CARES Act. The CARES Act was established in order to enable small businesses to pay employees during the economic
slowdown caused by COVID-19 by providing forgivable loans to qualifying businesses for up to 2.5 times their average monthly payroll costs. The amount borrowed under the
CARES Act is eligible to be forgiven provided that (a) the Company uses the PPP Funds during the eight week period after receipt thereof, and (b) the PPP Funds are only used
to cover payroll costs (including benefits), rent, mortgage interest, and utility costs. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if, among other reasons, the Company does
not maintain staffing or payroll levels. Principal and interest payments on any unforgiven portion of the PPP Funds (the “PPP Loan”) will be deferred for six months and will
accrue interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.0% and carry a two year maturity date. There is no prepayment penalty on the CARES Act Loan.
During May 2020, we received $515,000 of a committed $565,000 from the sale of 135,527 shares of common stock (at a price of $3.80 per share) and warrants to
purchase 169,409 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. This transaction is subject to execution of definitive documents.
We are currently experiencing an increasing working capital deficiency. As of December 31, 2019, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $1.8 million,
compared to a deficit of $49,655 as of December 31, 2018. The approximate $1.7 million increase in our working capital deficit was due primarily to an approximate $1.6
million increase in accounts payable, a $240,000 increase in contract liabilities, due to the selling additional annual contracts to customers, and an approximate $1 million
decrease in acquisition related convertible notes and interest receivable, which were converted to equity in 2019, partially offset by approximately $623,000 increase in accounts
receivable, due to the additional revenue in 2019 and approximately $411,000 increase in cash.
Based on our current business plan, we anticipate that our operating activities will use approximately $250,000 in cash per month over the next twelve months, or
approximately $3.0 million. Currently we have limited cash on hand, and consequently, we are unable to fully implement our current business plan. Accordingly, we have an
immediate need for additional capital to fund our operating activities.
In order to remedy this liquidity deficiency, we are actively seeking to raise additional funds through the sale of equity and debt securities, and ultimately, we will need
to generate substantial positive operating cash flows. Our internal sources of funds will consist of cash flows from operations, but not until we begin to realize additional
revenues from the sale of our products and services. As previously stated, our operations are generating negative cash flows, and thus adversely affecting our liquidity. If we are
able to secure sufficient funding in the near term to fully implement our business plan, we expect that our operations could begin to generate significant cash flows during early
2021, which should ameliorate our liquidity deficiency. If we are unable to raise additional funds in the near term, we will not be able to fully implement our business plan, in
which case there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
In the event we do not generate sufficient funds from revenues or financing through the issuance of common stock or from debt financing, we may be unable to fully
implement our business plan and pay our obligations as they become due, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial
condition, and results of operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to recover the
value of its assets or satisfy its liabilities (see Note 2 to the Financial Statements - Liquidity/Going Concern).
34
Based on our limited availability of funds we expect to spend minimal amounts on software development and capital expenditures. We expect to fund any software
development expenditures through a combination of cash flows from operations and proceeds from equity and/or debt financing. If we are unable to generate positive cash flows
from operations, and/or raise additional funds (either through debt or equity), we will be unable to fund our software development expenditures, in which case, there could be an
adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our operations through December 31, 2019 have resulted in negative cash flows from operations of $4,691,290. If we are able to generate additional revenue through
the addition of new customers, combined with an anticipated reduction in legal and accounting expenses, we believe we may begin to generate positive operating cash flows in
early 2021. However, there is no assurance we will be able to increase our revenue sufficiently so as to generate positive operating cash flows within this time frame.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $4,691,290 for the year ended December 31, 2019, mainly related to the net loss of $11,312,500, and offset by non-cash
stock-based compensation of $7,482,254 related to various equity awards to employees and non-employees.
Net cash used in operating activities from operations was $241,080 for the year ended December 31, 2018, mainly related to the net loss of $380,603, increase in
accounts receivable of $173,200, amortization of note discount of $48,261, non-cash expenses relating to the fair value of convertible notes and warrants of $178,944, a
decrease in deferred revenue of $129,825 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $311,865.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $4,915,236 for the year ended December 31, 2019, related to the cash acquired in the reverse acquisition of $5,441,437,
partially offset by advances to a shareholder of $199,549 and the purchase of Alliance convertible notes receivable of $215,000 and capital expenditures of $111,652.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1,703,466 for the year ended December 31, 2018, which were primarily a $1,035,000 loan to Alliance and $547,116 of
advances to a shareholder.
We expect cash used in investing activities to decrease during 2020.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $187,548 for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily related to the proceeds from a note payable, related party.
Cash provided by financing activities was $2,005,846 for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily related to $1,250,000 of proceeds from the sale of common
stock and $755,846 of borrowings from a related party.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Management’s Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-
15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of December 31, 2019, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K,
as required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of
management, including our Chief Executive Officer, based on the 2013 framework and criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and
procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, due to
deficiencies in the design of internal controls and lack of segregation of duties, our Disclosure Controls were not effective as of December 31, 2019, such that the information
required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar
functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. Our Chief Financial Officer left in October 2019 and our Chief Executive Officer has been filling the
role of principal financial officer, along with our use of consulting personnel.
Management Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Our management has identified material weaknesses in our internal controls related to deficiencies in the design of internal controls and segregation of duties.
Management is planning to meet with the Audit Committee to discuss remediation efforts, which are expected to be resolved during 2020, or until such time as management is
able to conclude that its remediation efforts are designed and operating effectively. Our management is actively looking for a Chief Financial Officer along with other
accounting and finance personnel to assist in the remediation efforts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
We may in the future identify other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in connection with our internal control over financial reporting. Material
weaknesses and significant deficiencies that may be identified in the future will need to be addressed as part of our quarterly and annual evaluations of our internal controls over
financial reporting under Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Any future disclosures of a material weakness, or errors as a result of a material weakness, could
result in a negative reaction in the financial markets and a decrease in the price of our common stock.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information
On June 11, 2020, our Board of Directors appointed Timothy A. Hannibal, who currently serves as our Chief Revenue officer, to act as our Interim Chief Financial
Officer. In his role as Interim chief Financial Officer, Mr. Hannibal will oversee our financial operations. Mr. Hannibal will serve in such capacity until we appoint a
permanent Chief Financial Officer or until his earlier resignation or removal. Any change to Mr. Hannibal’s compensation as a result of his acting as Interim CFO has yet to be
determined.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
The Company’s founder and majority stockholder had provided cash advances on an unsecured and non-interest-bearing basis, during the first few years of operation.
Beginning in 2016, the founder began receiving distributions from the Company. The amounts owed to, and due from, the shareholder have been netted in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. In January 2019, this shareholder surrendered 1,401 common shares to the Company as settlement of the $1,409,284 net amount due to the
Company. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the net balance due from the founder was $0 and $1,409,284, respectively. The balance did not carry a maturity date, and there
were no repayment terms.
In October 2016, the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement with Mark Munro, then a minority shareholder for up to $1,000,000 of borrowings for
operating expenses. In November 2016 and January 2018, the Company entered into additional note agreements with Mr. Munro to provide up to an additional $2,000,000 of
aggregate borrowings for which the Company had guaranteed payment from its subsidiary if the Company was unable meet its obligations. The interest rate for the notes was
10% per annum, and the notes had a maturity date in January 2021. One of the notes bore interest at 10% for the first 90 days and was then adjusted to 18% per annum.
As previously disclosed, on August 20, 2018, the Company entered into a SEA with Alliance MMA, as amended on December 18, 2018, in connection therewith Mr.

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

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

Note 1. Description of Business
Nature of Business
SCWorx Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
SCWorx, LLC (n/k/a SCW FL Corp.) (“SCW LLC”) was a privately held limited liability company which was organized in Florida on November 17, 2016. On
December 31, 2017, SCW LLC acquired Primrose Solutions, LLC (“Primrose”), a Delaware limited liability company, which became its wholly-owned subsidiary and focused
on developing functionality for the software now used and sold by SCWorx Corp. (the “Company” or “SCWorx”). The majority interest holders of Primrose were interest
holders of SCW LLC and based upon Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5G, the technology acquired has been accounted for at predecessor cost of $0. To facilitate the planned
acquisition by Alliance MMA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Alliance”), on June 27, 2018, SCW LLC merged with and into a newly-formed entity, SCWorx Acquisition
Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SCW Acquisition”), with SCW Acquisition being the surviving entity. Subsequently, on August 17, 2018, SCW Acquisition changed its name
to SCWorx Corp. On November 30, 2018, the Company and certain of its stockholders agreed to cancel 6,510 shares of common stock. In June 2018, the Company began to
collect subscriptions for common stock. From June to November 2018, the Company collected $1,250,000 in subscriptions and issued 3,125 shares of common stock to new
third-party investors. In addition, on February 1, 2019, (i) SCWorx Corp. (f/k/a SCWorx Acquisition Corp.) changed its name to SCW FL Corp. (to allow Alliance to change its
name to SCWorx Corp.) and (ii) Alliance acquired SCWorx Corp. (n/k/a SCW FL Corp.) in a stock-for-stock exchange transaction and changed Alliance’s name to SCWorx
Corp., which is the Company’s current name, with SCW FL Corp. becoming the Company’s subsidiary.
Business Combination and Related Transactions
In June 2018, SCWorx Acquisition Corp. entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Alliance, as amended on December 18, 2018, under which
SCWorx Acquisition Corp. agreed to purchase up to $1,250,000 in principal amount of Alliance’s convertible notes and warrants to purchase up to 1,128,356 [59,387 shares
reflective of one for nineteen stock split] [bracketed amounts disclosed represent post- reverse split adjusted shares or per share amounts] shares of Alliance common stock. The
initial $750,000 tranche of the notes was convertible into shares of Alliance common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.3725 [$7.0775 post-split] and the related 503,356
[26,492 post-split] warrants have an exercise price of $0.3725 [$7.0775 post-split]. The conversion price on the $750,000 convertible note was reduced to $0.215 [$4.085 post-
split] per share in January 2019. The remaining $500,000 tranche of the notes was convertible into shares of Alliance common stock at a conversion price of $0.20 [$3.80 post-
split] and the related 625,000 [32,895 post-split] warrants had an exercise price of $0.30 [$5.70 post-split]. All of these notes (an aggregate of $1,250,000 in principal amount)
converted automatically into Alliance common stock upon the closing of the Company’s acquisition on February 1, 2019 and were distributed to certain of the Company’s
common stockholders.
Pursuant to the SPA, between June 29, 2018 and October 16, 2018, Alliance sold SCWorx Acquisition Corp. convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$750,000 and warrants to purchase 503,356 [26,492 post-split] shares of Alliance common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $750,000. Each of the notes bore interest at
10% annually and had a one year term. The warrants had an exercise price of $0.3725, [$7.0775 post-split] a term of five years and were vested upon grant. As noted above,
these notes automatically converted into Alliance common stock upon the closing of the Company’s acquisition on February 1, 2019.
On August 20, 2018, the Company and its stockholders entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with Alliance, as amended on December 18, 2018 (“SEA”). Under
the SEA, the Company’s shareholders agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, in exchange for which Alliance agreed to issue at the
closing 100,000,000 shares of Alliance common stock to the Company’s stockholders.

Pursuant to the SPA, between November 16, 2018 and December 31, 2018, the Company purchased additional Alliance convertible notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $275,000 and warrants to purchase 356,250 [18,750 post-split] shares of Alliance common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $275,000. Each of the Notes bore
interest at 10% annually and matured one year from the issue date. These warrants had an exercise price of $0.30 [$5.70 post-split], a term of five years and were vested upon
grant. This brought the total amount funded by the Company to $1,035,000 as of December 31, 2018. In January 2019, SCWorx purchased $215,000 of additional Alliance
convertible notes under the aggregate $1,250,000 SPA. These notes automatically converted into Alliance common stock upon the closing of the Company’s acquisition on
February 1, 2019 and were purchased under the aggregate $1,250,000 terms of the SPA.
In anticipation of the acquisition of the Company, Alliance filed an original listing application with the Nasdaq Capital Market to list the common stock of the
combined company. On February 1, 2019, Nasdaq approved the listing of Alliance’s common stock (on a combined basis with SCWorx), with the result being that the newly
combined company’s common stock is now newly listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
On February 1, 2019, SCWorx Corp. changed its name to SCW FL Corp. to allow Alliance to change its name to SCWorx Corp. Alliance completed the acquisition of
SCWorx Corp. (n/k/a SCW FL Corp.), at which point Alliance changed its name to SCWorx Corp., changed its ticker symbol to “WORX”, and effected a one-for-nineteen
reverse stock split of its common stock, which combined the 100,000,000 Alliance shares of common stock issued to the Company’s shareholders into 5,263,158 shares of
common stock of the newly combined company (refer to Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for additional detail).
From a legal perspective, Alliance acquired SCW FL Corp., and as a result, historical equity awards including stock options and warrants are carried forward at their
historical basis.
From an accounting perspective, Alliance was acquired by SCW FL Corp. in a reverse merger and as a result, the Company has completed preliminary purchase
accounting for the transaction.

method.
F-8
SCWorx currently sells its solutions and services in the United States to hospitals and health systems through its direct sales force and its distribution and reseller
partnerships.
Direct-Worx — In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, SCWorx established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Direct-Worx, LLC, which will utilize the
SCWorx database to identify trends within the purchasing supply chain and use this information to source and provide critical, difficult-to-find items for the healthcare
industry. Items may become difficult to source due to unexpected disruptions within the supply chain, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the date of filing the Company
has not sold any PPE and as of December 31, 2019 did not have any inventory. These products currently include:
Test Kits — the Company has identified multiple potential sources for Rapid Test Kits for COVID-19.
PPE — Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) includes items include masks, gloves, gowns, shields, etc.
This is a new business for us, and there is no assurance that we will be able to complete any sales of these products or that any such sales will be sufficient to offset the
negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. The sale of PPE and rapid test kits for COVID-19 represent a new business for the Company and is subject to the
myriad risks associated with any new venture. The Company has yet to complete the sale of any COVID-19 rapid test kits. Through the date of filing we have not generated any
material revenue from the sale of PPE.
SCWorx, as part of the acquisition of Alliance MMA, operates an online event ticketing platform focused on serving regional MMA (“mixed martial arts”)
promotions.
Note 2. Liquidity and Going Concern
Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which
contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustment that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and incurred a net loss of $11,312,500 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and $380,603 for the year
ended December 31, 2018. The accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2019 was $12,794,473 The Company has not yet achieved profitability and expects to continue to incur
cash outflows from operations. It is expected that its operating expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, the Company will eventually need to generate significant
increases in product revenues to achieve profitability. These conditions indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within
one year after the financial statement issuance date.
As of the filing date of this Report, management believes that there may not be sufficient capital resources from operations and existing financing arrangements in
order to meet operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next twelve months.
Accordingly, we are evaluating various alternatives, including reducing operating expenses, securing additional financing through debt or equity securities to fund
future business activities and other strategic alternatives. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate the level of operating revenues in its business
plan, or if additional sources of financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If no additional sources of financing are available, our future operating prospects may be
adversely affected. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance to U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SCWorx and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reverse Stock Split
On February 1, 2019, the Company effected a 1-for-19 reverse stock split with respect to the outstanding shares of its common stock. The reverse stock split was
deemed effective on February 4, 2019. The reverse stock split did not affect the total number of shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue, which is
45,000,000 shares. The reverse stock split also did not affect the total number of shares of Series A preferred stock that the Company is authorized to issue, which is 900,000
shares. Share and per share data have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the reverse stock split unless otherwise noted.
F-9
Reclassifications
A reclassification has been made to the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity/(deficit) to break out the total Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock par value of $819 and additional paid in capital of $7,980,126. Previously, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the entire balance was disclosed
as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. This change in classification does not affect the previously reported total stockholders’ equity balance. In addition, the authorized
common stock has been restated to reflect the correct amount of 45,000,000 authorized shares of common stock.
In addition, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported
results of operations or cash flows.
Cash
Cash is maintained with various financial institutions. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of
cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. There were no amounts in excess of the FDIC
insured limit for both the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Management applies fair value accounting for significant financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair
value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Management defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are
required to be recorded at fair value, management considers the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is
estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the
lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 -
Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or
other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 - Inputs that are generally
unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Concentration of Credit and Other Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, due from
shareholder, convertible notes receivable and warrants. The Company believes that any concentration of credit risk in its accounts receivable is substantially mitigated by the
Company’s evaluation process, relatively short collection terms and the high level of credit worthiness of its customers. The Company performs ongoing internal credit
evaluations of its customers’ financial condition, obtains deposits and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary but generally requires no collateral. The
Company believes that any concentration of credit risk in its due from shareholder and convertible notes receivable was substantially mitigated by the shareholder’s material
interest in the Company, ability to sell off portions of the interest, if necessary, and the closing of the acquisition of SCWorx by Alliance and conversion of the notes payable -
related party into shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the settlement of the due from stockholder balance with the surrender of 1,401 SCWorx shares of common
stock in January 2019.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had two customers representing 19% and 10% of aggregate revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2018,
the Company had three customers representing 20%, 16% and 12% of aggregate revenues. At December 31, 2019, the Company had four customers representing 17%, 14%,
10% and 10% of aggregate accounts receivable. At December 31, 2018, the Company had three customers representing 39%, 21% and 13% of aggregate accounts receivable.
F-10
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company continually monitors customer payments and maintains a reserve for estimated losses resulting from its customers’ inability to make required payments.
In determining the reserve, the Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based upon a variety of factors. In cases where the Company becomes aware of
circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific allowance against amounts due. For all other
customers, the Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on its historical write-off experience in conjunction with the length of time the receivables are past
due, customer creditworthiness, geographic risk and the current business environment. Actual future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from the Company’s
estimates. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 of $344,412 and $0, respectively.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The current portion of lease obligations are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on
the consolidated balance sheets. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the
Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present
value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the
information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the
lease, which are included in the lease ROU asset when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease components only, none with non-lease components, which are generally accounted for
separately (refer to Note 8, Leases, for additional detail).
Business Combinations
The Company includes the results of operations of a business it acquires in its consolidated results as of the date of acquisition. The Company allocates the fair value of
the purchase consideration of its acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of
purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the
synergies between the acquired businesses and the Company. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The fair value of contingent consideration (earn
out) associated with acquisitions is remeasured each reporting period and adjusted accordingly. Acquisition and integration related costs are recognized separately from the
business combination and are expensed as incurred. For additional information regarding the Company’s acquisitions, refer to Note 5, Business Combinations.
Goodwill and Purchased Identified Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible
assets acquired under a business combination. Goodwill also includes acquired assembled workforce, which does not qualify as an identifiable intangible asset. The Company
reviews impairment of goodwill annually in the third quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. The Company first
assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances,
the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is
unnecessary.
F-11
Identified intangible assets
Identified finite-lived intangible assets consist of ticketing software and promoter relationships resulting from the February 1, 2019 business combination. The
Company’s identified intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 to 7 years. The Company makes judgments about
the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount
of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses recoverability by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated
with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount
over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the Company would accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining
carrying value over the new shorter useful life.
For further discussion of goodwill and identified intangible assets, refer to Note 5, Business Combinations.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the related assets’ estimated
useful lives. Equipment, furniture and fixtures are being amortized over a period of three years.
Expenditures that materially increase asset life are capitalized, while ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $6,453 and $0, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Topic 606 to depict the transfer of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to
which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of Topic 606 the Company
performs the following steps:
●
●
●
●
●
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
The Company follows the accounting revenue guidance under Topic 606 to determine whether contracts contain more than one performance obligation. Performance
obligations are the unit of accounting for revenue recognition and generally represent the distinct goods or services that are promised to the customer.
The Company has identified the following performance obligations in its contracts with customers:
1) Data Normalization: which includes data preparation, product and vendor mapping, product categorization, data enrichment and other data related services,
2) Software-as-a-service (“SaaS”): which is generated from clients’ access of and usage of the Company’s hosted software solutions on a subscription basis for a specified
contract term, which is usually annually. In SaaS arrangements, the client cannot take possession of the software during the term of the contract and generally has the
right to access and use the software and receive any software upgrades published during the subscription period,
F-12
3) Maintenance: which includes ongoing data cleansing and normalization, content enrichment, and optimization, and
4) Professional Services: mainly related to specific customer projects to manage and/or analyze data and review for cost reduction opportunities.
A contract will typically include Data Normalization, SaaS and Maintenance, which are distinct performance obligations and are accounted for separately. The
transaction price is allocated to each separate performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. Significant judgement is required to determine the stand-alone
selling price for each distinct performance obligation and is typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a stand-alone basis. At contract
inception, an assessment of the goods and services promised in the contracts with customers is performed and a performance obligation is identified for each distinct promise to
transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services). To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all the goods or services promised in
the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation has been
met. The Company considers control to have transferred upon delivery because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the Company has transferred use of the
good or service, and the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from, the good or service.
The Company’s SaaS and Maintenance contracts typically have termination for convenience without penalty clauses and accordingly, are generally accounted for as
month-to-month agreements. If it is determined that the Company has not satisfied a performance obligation, revenue recognition will be deferred until the performance
obligation is deemed to be satisfied.
Revenue recognition for the Company’s performance obligations are as follows:
Data Normalization and Professional Services
The Company’s Data Normalization and Professional Services are typically fixed fee. When these services are not combined with SaaS or Maintenance revenues as a
single unit of accounting, these revenues are recognized as the services are rendered and when contractual milestones are achieved and accepted by the customer.
SaaS and Maintenance
SaaS and Maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the contract terms beginning on the commencement date of each contract, which is the date on which the
Company’s service is made available to customers.
The Company does have some contracts that have payment terms that differ from the timing of revenue recognition, which requires the Company to assess whether the
transaction price for those contracts include a significant financing component. The Company has elected the practical expedient that permits an entity to not adjust for the
effects of a significant financing component if it expects that at the contract inception, the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and
when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. The Company does not maintain contracts in which the period between when the entity transfers a
promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service exceeds the one-year threshold.
In periods prior to the adoption of ASC 606, the Company recognized revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement existed, delivery had occurred, the sales
price was fixed or determinable, and the collectability of the resulting receivable was reasonably assured. The adoption of Topic 606 did not result in a cumulative effect
adjustment to the Company’s opening retained earnings since there was no significant impact upon adoption of Topic 606. There was also no material impact to revenues, or
any other financial statement line items for the year ended December 31, 2018 as a result of applying ASC 606.
The Company has one revenue stream, from the SaaS business, and believes it has presented all varying factors that affect the nature, timing and uncertainty of
revenues and cash flows.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $1,056,637 of remaining performance obligations recorded as contract liabilities. The Company expects to recognize
sales relating to these existing performance obligations of $1,056,637 during the remainder of 2020.
There were no revenues that were recognized from performance obligations that were partially satisfied prior to January 1, 2018.
F-13
Costs to Fulfill a Contract
Costs to fulfill a contract typically include costs related to satisfying performance obligations as well as general and administrative costs that are not explicitly
chargeable to customer contracts. These expenses are recognized and expensed when incurred in accordance with ASC 340-40.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenues primarily represent data center hosting costs, consulting services and maintenance of the Company’s large data array that were incurred in delivering
professional services and maintenance of the Company’s large data array during the periods presented.
Contract Balances
Contract assets arise when the revenue associated prior to the Company’s unconditional right to receive a payment under a contract with a customer (i.e., unbilled
revenue) and are derecognized when either it becomes a receivable or the cash is received. There were no contract assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and January 1,
2018.
Contract liabilities arise when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of the Company satisfying its performance obligations under the contract and are
derecognized when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied. Contract liabilities were $1,056,637 and $816,714 as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $946,539 as of January 1, 2018. Revenue recognized in 2018 included the $946,539 of contract liabilities outstanding as of
January 1, 2018 and revenues in 2019 included $816,714 of contract liabilities outstanding as of December 31, 2018.
Income Taxes
The Company converted to a corporation from a limited liability company during 2018.
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income
Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of
temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has evaluated available evidence and concluded that the Company may not realize all the benefits of its deferred tax assets;
therefore, a valuation allowance has been established for its deferred tax assets.
ASC Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-40
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax
positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
F-14
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. The Tax Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax regime by,
including but not limited to, lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time
transition tax on previously untaxed accumulated earnings and profits of foreign subsidiaries, and creating new taxes on foreign sourced earnings. The Company completed the
accounting for tax effects of the Tax Act under ASC 740. There were no impacts to the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the authoritative guidance on share-based payments. Under the provisions of the
guidance, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the option or warrant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and is
recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
The authoritative guidance also requires that the Company measures and recognizes stock-based compensation expense upon modification of the term of stock award.
The stock-based compensation expense for such modification is accounted for as a repurchase of the original award and the issuance of a new award.
Calculating stock-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the stock-based awards, stock price
volatility, and the pre-vesting option forfeiture rate. The Company estimates the expected life of options granted based on historical exercise patterns, which are believed to be
representative of future behavior. The Company estimates the volatility of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant based on historical volatility. The assumptions
used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of
management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, its stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the
future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. The Company estimates the
forfeiture rate based on historical experience of its stock-based awards that are granted, exercised and cancelled. If the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from the
estimate, stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what was recorded in the current period. The Company also grants performance based
restricted stock awards to employees and consultants. These awards will vest if certain employee\consultant-specific or company-designated performance targets are achieved.
If minimum performance thresholds are achieved, each award will convert into a designated number of the Company’s common stock. If minimum performance thresholds are
not achieved, then no shares will be issued. Based upon the expected levels of achievement, stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite
service period. The expected levels of achievement are reassessed over the requisite service periods and, to the extent that the expected levels of achievement change, stock-
based compensation is adjusted in the period of change and recorded on the statements of operations and the remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation is recorded over
the remaining requisite service period. Refer to Note 10, Stockholders’ Equity, for additional detail.
Loss Per Share
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings
(loss) per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the
treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the
number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had 1,650,511 and 371,848, respectively, common stock equivalents outstanding.
F-15
Indemnification
The Company provides indemnification of varying scope to certain customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from
the use of the Company’s software. In accordance with authoritative guidance for accounting for guarantees, the Company evaluates estimated losses for such indemnification.
The Company considers such factors as the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. To date, no
such claims have been filed against the Company and no liability has been recorded in its financial statements.
As permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or
director is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these
indemnification agreements is unlimited. In addition, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce its financial exposure and
may enable it to recover any payments above the applicable policy retention, should they occur.
Contingencies
The Company records a liability when the Company believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the
Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible, and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements. The Company reviews the developments in its contingencies that could affect the amount of the provisions that has been previously recorded, and the
matters and related possible losses disclosed. The Company adjusts provisions and changes to its disclosures accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements,
rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability and the estimated amount.
Legal costs associated with loss contingencies are accrued based upon legal expenses incurred by the end of the reporting period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the allowance
for doubtful accounts, the estimated useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, equity component of convertible debt, stock-based compensation, and deferred income
tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and
expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates.
To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Actual results could differ materially from
those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-
02”). ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, on the
balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months, as well as the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. Disclosures are required to provide the
amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. A modified retrospective transition approach is provided for lessees of capital and operating leases existing at,
or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. ASU 2016-02 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.
2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”). ASU 2018-11 allows all entities adopting ASU 2016-02 to choose an additional (and optional)
transition method of adoption, under which an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening
balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. ASU 2018-11 also allows lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component if certain
conditions are met. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 in the quarter beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption resulted in the recognition
of additional disclosures and a right of use asset of approximately $53,000 included as a component of prepaid expenses and other assets and a lease liability of approximately
$53,000, which is included as a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest
Entities (“ASU 2018-17”). ASU 2018-17 provides that indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional
basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. ASU 2018-17 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the adoption of the standard did not have a
material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair
Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and
earlier adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”),
which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying
amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company adopted this new standard in the first quarter of
fiscal 2020 and the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Stock-based Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting, which amends the
existing accounting standards for share-based payments to nonemployees. This ASU aligns much of the guidance on measuring and classifying nonemployee awards with that of
awards to employees. Under the new guidance, the measurement of nonemployee equity awards is fixed on the grant date. The effective date for the standard is for interim
periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, but no earlier than the Company’s adoption date of Topic 606. The new guidance is
required to be applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. The Company adopted this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal
2019 and the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”) “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASC 326”): Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments” which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing
incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model which requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. It also eliminates the
concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather
than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-
10 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASC 2019-10”), which defers the effective date of
ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for public entities which meet the definition of a smaller
reporting company. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023. Management is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the
consolidated financial statements. The effect will largely depend on the composition and credit quality of our investment portfolio and the economic conditions at the time of
adoption.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions
Due from Shareholder/Member
The Company’s founder and then majority stockholder, Marc Schessel, had provided cash advances on an unsecured and non-interest-bearing basis, during the first
few years of operation. Beginning in 2016, the founder began receiving distributions from the Company. The amounts owed to, and due from, the shareholder have been netted
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In January 2019, this shareholder surrendered 1,401 common shares to the Company as settlement of the balance due. As of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, the net balance due from the founder was $0 and $1,409,284, respectively. The balance did not carry a maturity date and there were no repayment
terms.
Due to Shareholder
In October 2016, the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement with a minority shareholder for up to $1,000,000 of borrowings for operating expenses. In
November 2016 and January 2018, the Company entered into additional note agreements with the minority shareholder to provide up to an additional $2,000,000 of aggregate
borrowings for which the Company had guaranteed payment from its subsidiary if the Company was unable to repay the note. The interest rate for the notes was 10% per annum
and the notes had a maturity date in January 2021. One of the notes bore interest at 10% for the first 90 days and was then adjusted to 18% per annum.
As previously disclosed, on August 20, 2018, the Company entered into a SEA with Alliance MMA, as amended on December 18, 2018, in connection therewith this
minority shareholder agreed to accept shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock having a face value equal to the total amount owed to him of approximately $2.1 million in
full satisfaction of such indebtedness (including principal and accrued interest).
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the notes payable - related party totaled $0 and $1,591,491 respectively. On September 30, 2019, the note holder agreed to accept
17,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in 2020 as full settlement of the remaining $192,000 of principal.
The Company incurred interest expense of $23,720 and $218,991 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which was accrued and converted to
Series A Preferred Stock in 2019.
In addition, this shareholder also provided office space to the Company at no cost through January 2019.
Note 5. Business Combinations

On June 28, 2018, SCWorx Acquisition Corp. entered into a SPA with Alliance MMA, under which SCW LLC agreed to buy up to $1,000,000 in principal amount of
convertible notes and warrants to purchase up to 35,323 shares of common stock. The notes were originally convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of
$7.0775 and bore interest at 10% annually. The warrants were originally exercisable for shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.0775.
Under the SPA, SCWorx Acquisition Corp. agreed to fund (i) $500,000 at the initial closing, (ii) a second tranche of $250,000 upon the signing of a business
combination agreement with the Company and (iii) a third tranche of $250,000 upon mutual agreement of Alliance MMA and SCWorx.
On December 18, 2018, SCWorx agreed to increase the total amount of principal from $1,000,000 to $1,250,000 and to reduce the conversion price of the final
$500,000 installment of the aggregate $1,250,000 note purchase to $3.80 per share. The warrant exercise price for the related warrants to purchase 32,895 shares was reduced to
$5.70 per share.
Pursuant to the SPA, during 2018, SCWorx purchased convertible notes from Alliance MMA in the principal amount of $1,035,000 and warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 45,242 shares of common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,035,000. The note for $750,000 bears interest at 10% annually and matured on July 31,
2019. This note was amended in January 2019 to reduce the conversion price to $4.09 per share. The related warrant to acquire 26,492 shares of common stock has an exercise
price of $7.0775, a term of five years and was vested upon grant. The note for $275,000 has a conversion price of $3.80, bore interest at 10% annually and matured on June 22,
2019. The warrant to acquire 18,750 shares of common stock has an exercise price of $5.70, a term of five years and was vested upon grant.
F-19
During the first quarter of 2019, SCWorx purchased additional convertible notes from Alliance MMA in the principal amount of $215,000 and warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 14,145 shares of common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $215,000. The note for $215,000 had a conversion price of $3.80, bore interest at 10% annually
and matured on June 22, 2019. The warrant to acquire 14,145 shares of common stock had an exercise price of $5.70, a term of five years and was vested upon grant.
The Alliance acquisition closed on February 1, 2019 and the principal, commitment costs and accrued interest related to the purchased Alliance convertible notes
automatically converted into 362,280 shares of Alliance common stock. In January 2019, the SCWorx board of directors declared a dividend of the 362,280 when-converted
shares of Alliance common stock, and related warrants, to the SCWorx shareholders, two of whom waived their rights to the dividend, resulting in the shares being distributed
to shareholders who participated in the November 2018 stock offering by SCWorx Corp. of $1,250,000.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company held a convertible note receivable from Alliance MMA with a balance of $837,317. The Company also received warrants
from the transaction which were valued at $67,000.
Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a framework for
measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities according to a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The
fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level
3). The hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.
Unobservable inputs are inputs that are derived from assumptions based on management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability based on the best information available under the circumstances.
The hierarchy is broken down into the following three levels, based on the reliability of inputs:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or
other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities that are derived from assumptions based on management’s estimate of assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Fair value is determined on a recurring basis based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers and is adjusted for management’s estimates of costs to sell and
holding period discounts.
The following table presents information as of December 31, 2018 about significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in the valuation of assets measured at fair

The Company has recorded a warrant asset in relation to the contingent call option upon the occurrence of a “fundamental transaction”, as defined in the SEA. The fair
value of the warrant asset (and related discount) at the date of issuance was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was deemed not to be materially
different than the fair value as would have been determined using an open simulation model such as the Monte Carlo. The Black-Scholes model uses a combination of
observable inputs (Level 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3) in calculating fair value.
The assumptions used to measure the fair value of the warrants as of original issuance date and as of December 31, 2018 were as follows:

Note 8. Leases
Operating Leases
The Company leases office facilities under operating leases. The Company’s principal executive office in New York City is under a month to month arrangement. The
Company’s also had a lease which was set to expire in March 2020 and was renewed through May 2021. Leases with a probable term of 12 months or less are not recorded on
the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As a practical expedient, the Company elected, for all
office and facility leases, not to separate non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs) from lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent) and instead
to account for each separate lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate for
purposes of discounting lease payments.
The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) electing the practical expedient that allows the Company not to
restate its comparative periods prior to the adoption of the standard on January 1, 2019. As such, the disclosures required under ASC 842 are not presented for periods before
the date of adoption. For the comparative periods prior to adoption, the Company presented the disclosures which were required under ASC 840. The Company elected the
optional transition method and adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis with no restatement of prior period amounts. As allowed under
the new accounting standard, the Company elected to apply practical expedients to carry forward the original lease determinations, lease classifications and accounting of initial
direct costs for all asset classes at the time of adoption. The Company also elected not to separate lease components from non-lease components and to exclude short-term leases
from its condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s adoption of the new standard as of January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of
approximately $53,000 and liabilities of approximately $53,000. There was no impact to the accumulated deficit upon adoption of Topic 842.
The Company has operating leases for corporate, business and technician offices. Leases with a probable term of 12 months or less, including month-to-month
agreements, are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, unless the arrangement includes an option to purchase the underlying asset, or an option to renew the
arrangement, that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise (short-term leases). The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one to 15 months, none of which
include options to extend the leases without a new arrangement.
As of December 31, 2019, assets recorded under operating leases were $11,065, which is included as a component of prepaid expenses and other assets. Operating
lease right of use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate
used to determine the commencement date present value of lease payment is our incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a
similar term at an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as initial
direct costs paid or incentives received.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has no additional operating leases, other than that noted above, and no financing leases.
Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various contingencies. The Company records a contingency in the consolidated financial statements when
it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable, or otherwise disclosed, in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies
(“ASC Topic 450”). Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether a loss is reasonably estimable. In the event the
Company determines that a loss is not probable, but is reasonably possible, and it becomes possible to develop what the Company believes to be a reasonable range of possible
loss, then the Company will include disclosures related to such matter as appropriate and in compliance with ASC Topic 450. To the extent there is a reasonable possibility that
the losses could exceed the amounts already accrued, the Company will, when applicable, adjust the accrual in the period in which the determination is made, disclose an
estimate of the additional loss or range of loss, indicate that the estimate is immaterial with respect to its financial statements as a whole or, if the amount of such adjustment
cannot be reasonably estimated, disclose that an estimate cannot be made.

Transfer of Common Stock to Consultants
On or about February 1, 2019, the Company’s founder and CEO as well as another shareholder transferred an aggregate of approximately 1,379,000 and 144,000
shares of common stock, respectively to certain consultants of the Company, of which approximately 983,000 and 144,000 shares of common stock, respectively were sold to
consultants in exchange for promissory notes. The Company accounted for these share transfers as stock-based compensation expense based upon the Black-Scholes model as if
these were stock option grants made by the Company. The Company used the following inputs in the Black-Scholes option pricing model, expected life of 5 years, risk-free
interest rate of 2.51%, volatility 92% and dividend yield of 0%. As a result, the Company recognized approximately $3.6 million of stock-based compensation expense during
the first quarter of 2019 related to these share transfers. Additionally, approximately 396,000 shares of common stock were transferred by the founder and CEO to contractors
for no consideration. The Company accounted for these share transfers as stock-based compensation based upon the underlying common stock price of $4.37 as of the date of
transfer. The Company recognized approximately $1.7 million of stock-based compensation expense related to these transfers during the first quarter of 2019.

Stock Incentive Plan
In connection with Alliance’s acquisition of SCW FL Corp., the Company adopted Alliance’s Second Amended and Restated 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (“2016
Plan”). The 2016 Plan allows the Company to grant shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company’s directors, officers, employees and consultants. On January 30,
2019, the Alliance shareholders approved the amendment of the 2016 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance thereunder to 3,000,000
shares of common stock.
On February 13, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company granted an aggregate of 425,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2016 Plan, of which an
aggregate of 325,000 shares were granted to management and vest quarterly over the next three years, and of which 100,000 were issued to a consultant and vest quarterly over
one year. Upon the effectiveness under the Securities Act of a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the shares covered by the 2016 Plan, these RSUs vest in twelve
equal quarterly instalments, commencing on the grant date of February 13, 2019 and had a grant date fair value of approximately $2.7 million. The Company also granted an
additional 525,000 RSUs which are subject to performance vesting, of which an aggregate of 225,000 shares were issued to management and 300,000 were issued to a
consultant. The 225,000 shares issued to management were cancelled in April 2020, when the person’s employment with the Company terminated. Additionally, the board of
directors awarded stock options under the 2016 Plan to each of the four independent board members to acquire an aggregate of 53,572 shares of the Company’s common stock
and to an employee to acquire 25,000 shares. The stock options have a term of five years, an exercise price of $6.49 per share, vest quarterly over four quarters beginning on the
grant date of February 13, 2019 and had a grant date fair value of $431,000. The Company determined the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes model with the
following inputs: expected life 10 years, risk-free interest rate 0.25%, dividend yield 0% and expected volatility 90%.
On December 5, 2019, the Company issued 50,000 RSU’s to a member of the board of directors. The RSU’s vested immediately and had a fair value of $135,000.
Additionally, on December 10, 2019, the board of directors awarded stock options under the 2016 Plan to each of the three remaining independent directors to 50,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock. The stock options have a term of five years, an exercise price of $2.64 per share, vest immediately on the grant date of December 10, 2019 and
had a grant date fair value of $388,746. The Company determined the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes model with the following inputs: expected life 10
years, risk-free interest rate 1.0%, dividend yield 0% and expected volatility 100%.
On June 28, 2019, the Company terminated the aforementioned consultant and reversed the stock-based compensation expense recognized during the first quarter 2019
totaling $162,250 as the consultant had not vested in any of the RSU’s.
On October 26, 2019, the employment of the Employee who received the 250,000 RSU’s on February 13, 2019, terminated and the remaining stock based
compensation for the employee was cancelled as the employee had not vested in the shares.

Note 11. Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net
loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities
outstanding during each period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding option grants.
The following securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have been anti-
dilutive:
Stock options
Warrants
Total common stock equivalents
Note 12. Income Taxes
By virtue of a merger of the limited liability company into a corporation, the Company became a corporation during 2018.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $28.3 million and $56,416, respectively, available to
offset future taxable income. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had state loss carry-forwards of approximately $10.8 million and $11,352, respectively. Future
utilization of net operating losses may be limited due to potential ownership changes under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The
federal net operating loss carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely and state loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2039.
The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $7,088,189 and $73,790, respectively. The net change in valuation allowance for the years ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018 was an increase of $7,014,399 and $73,790, respectively. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the
generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred
income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on consideration of these items, management has
determined that enough uncertainty exists relative to the realization of the deferred income tax asset balances to warrant the application of a full valuation allowance as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018.
The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits during 2019 or 2018. By statute, all tax years are open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the
Company is subject.

Note 13. Legal Proceedings
In conducting our business, we may become involved in legal proceedings. We will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount
within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might
include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred.
On April 29, 2020, a securities class action case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its CEO.
The action is captioned Daniel Yannes, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff vs. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants.
On May 27, 2020, a second securities class was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its CEO. The
action is captioned Caitlin Leeburn, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. SCWorx Corp. and Marc S. Schessel, Defendants. Both lawsuits
allege that the Company and its CEO mislead investors in connection with the Company’s April 13, 2020 press release with respect to the sale of COVID-19 rapid test kits. The
plaintiffs in these actions are seeking unspecified monetary damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these proceedings. In connection with these actions, the
Company may be obligated to indemnify its CEO and any of its officers or directors who incur any liability or expense incurred as a result of serving at our company’s request
in such capacity.
In addition, following the April 13, 2020 press release and related disclosures (related to COVID-19 rapid test kits), the Securities and Exchange Commission made an
inquiry regarding the disclosures the Company made in relation to the transaction involving COVID-19 test kits. On April 22, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission
ordered that trading in the securities of the Company be suspended because of “questions and concerns regarding the adequacy and accuracy of publicly available information in
the marketplace” (the “SEC Trading Halt”). The SEC Trading Halt expired May 5, 2020, at 11:59 PM EDT. The Company is fully cooperating with the SEC’s investigation and
is providing documents and other requested information.
In April 2020, the Company received related inquiries from The Nasdaq Stock Market and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company has
been fully cooperating with these agencies and providing information and documents, as requested. On May 5, 2020, the Nasdaq Stock Market informed the Company that it
has initiated a “T12 trading halt,” which means the halt will remain in place until the Company has fully satisfied Nasdaq's request for additional information. The Company
continues to fully cooperate with Nasdaq and respond to Nasdaq’s information requests as they are issued. The T12 trading halt remains in effect as of the filing of this Form 10-
K.
Also in April 2020, the Company was contacted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey, which is seeking information and documents from the
Company’s officers and directors relating primarily to the April 13, 2020 press release concerning COVID-19 rapid test kits. The Company is fully cooperating with the U.S.
Attorney’s Office in its investigation.

Equity Offering
During May 2020 the Company received $515,000 in connection with an equity financing. This transaction is subject to execution of definitive documents.
COVID-19
The Company’s operations and business have experienced disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic spreading throughout
the United States and the world. The New York and New Jersey area, where the Company is headquartered, is currently at one of the epicenters of the coronavirus outbreak in
the United States. The Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its team members since the outbreak.
In addition, the Company’s customers (hospitals) have also experienced extraordinary disruptions to their businesses and supply chains, while experiencing
unprecedented demand for health care services related to COVID-19. As a result of these extraordinary disruptions to our customers’ business, the Company’s customers are
currently focused on meeting the nation’s health care needs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, there is a significant risk that the Company’s customers will not
be able to focus any resources on expanding the utilization of the Company’s services, which could adversely impact the Company’s future growth prospects, at least until the
adverse effects of the pandemic subside. In addition, the financial impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s hospital customers could cause the hospital to delay payments due to
us for services, which could negatively impact the Company’s cash flows.
Receipt of CARES funding
On May 5, 2020, we received $293,972 in financing from the U.S. government’s Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”). We entered into a loan agreement with Bank of
America. This loan agreement was pursuant to the CARES Act. The CARES Act was established in order to enable small businesses to pay employees during the economic
slowdown caused by COVID-19 by providing forgivable loans to qualifying businesses for up to 2.5 times their average monthly payroll costs. The amount borrowed under the
CARES Act is eligible to be forgiven provided that (a) the Company uses the PPP Funds during the eight week period after receipt thereof, and (b) the PPP Funds are only used
to cover payroll costs (including benefits), rent, mortgage interest, and utility costs. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if, among other reasons, the Company does
not maintain staffing or payroll levels. Principal and interest payments on any unforgiven portion of the PPP Funds (the “PPP Loan”) will be deferred for six months and will
accrue interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.0% and carry a two year maturity date. There is no prepayment penalty on the CARES Act Loan.

such failure or conduct is not reasonably capable of being cured. In the event Executive does not cure the alleged failure or conduct within the time frame provided for such cure
by the Company, the Company shall send the Executive written notice specifying the effective date of termination. The failure by the Company to set forth in the notice
referenced in this Section 7.1 any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Cause shall not waive any right of the Company to assert, or preclude the Company

(a) conviction of a felony or a crime involving fraud or moral turpitude; or
(b) theft, material act of dishonesty or fraud, intentional falsification of any employment or Corporation records, or commission of any criminal act which impairs

(a) The Company may terminate the employment of Executive and this Agreement at any time during the Term of this Agreement without Cause by giving Executive
written notice of such termination, to be effective upon the giving of such written notice, in which case Executive shall receive the compensation, severance, and benefit

(b) This Agreement shall be deemed terminated immediately upon the death of Executive.
7.4 Termination by Executive for Good Reason. Executive may terminate his employment and this Agreement at any time for Good Reason (as defined below). A

Executive’s belief that Good Reason exists within sixty (60) days of the initial existence of the Good Reason condition, and that notice shall describe in reasonable detail the
condition(s) believed to constitute Good Reason. The Company then shall have thirty (30) days to remedy the Good Reason condition(s). If not remedied within that 30-day
period or if the Company notifies Executive that it does not intend to cure such condition(s) before the end of that 30-day period, Executive may submit a notice of termination
to the Company; provided, however, that the notice of termination invoking Executive’s option to terminate employment for Good Reason must be given no later than sixty (60)

NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT
Exhibit A
THIS NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT (the “ Agreement”), dated as of February 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”) is entered into by
and between SCWorx Corp. , a Delaware corporation (“Company”) John Price, an individual and resident of the State of New York (the “Executive”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the employment or continued employment of the Executive by the Company, and the continued receipt and access to
confidential, proprietary, and trade secret information associated with the Executive’s position with the Company, the Executive and the Company agree as follows:
1. Confidentiality. Executive understands and agrees that in the course of providing services to the Company, Executive may acquire confidential and/or proprietary information
concerning the Company’s operations, its future plans and its methods of doing business. Executive understands and agrees it would be extremely damaging to the Company if
Executive disclosed such information to a competitor or made such information available to any other person. Executive understands and agrees that such information is
divulged to Executive in strict confidence and Executive understands and agrees that Executive shall not use such information other than in connection with the Business and
will keep such information secret and confidential unless disclosure is required by court order or otherwise by compulsion of law. In view of the nature of Executive’s
employment with the Company and the information that Executive has received during the course of Executive’s employment, Executive also agrees that the Company would
be irreparably harmed by any violation, or threatened violation of the agreements in this paragraph and that, therefor, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction prohibiting
Executive from any violation or threatened violation of such agreements.
2. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the nature of the Company’s confidential, proprietary, and trade secret information to
which the Executive has, and will continue to have, access to derives value from the fact that it is not generally known and used by others in the highly competitive industry in
which the Company competes. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that, even in complete good faith, it would be impossible for the Executive to work in a similar
capacity for a competitor of the Company without drawing upon and utilizing information gained during employment with the Company. Accordingly, at all times during the
Executive’s employment with the Company and for a period of one (1) year after termination, for any reason, of such employment, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly:
(a) Engage in any business or enterprise (whether as owner, partner, officer, director, employee, consultant, investor, lender or otherwise, except as the holder of not
more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding capital stock of a company) that directly or indirectly competes with the Company’s business or the business of any of its
subsidiaries anywhere in the United States; or
(b) Either alone or in association with others (i) solicit, or facilitate any organization with which the Executive is associated in soliciting, any employee of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries to leave the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (ii) solicit for employment, hire or engage as an independent contractor, or
facilitate any organization with which the Executive is associated in soliciting for employment, hire or engagement as an independent contractor, any person who was employed
by the Company or any of its subsidiaries at any time during the term of the Executive’s employment with the Seller or the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries
(provided, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to any individual whose employment with the Seller, the Company or any of its subsidiaries has been terminated for a period of
one year or longer); or (iii) solicit business from or perform services for any customer, supplier, licensee or business relation of the Seller or the Company or any of their
respective subsidiaries, induce or attempt to induce, any such entity to cease doing business with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or in any way interfere with the
relationship between any such entity and the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
A-1
3. Return of Property. Executive understands and agrees that all business information, files, research, records, memoranda, books, lists and other documents and tangible
materials, including computer disks, and other hardware and software that he receives during his employment, whether confidential or not, are the property of the Company, and
that, upon the termination of his services, for whatever reason, he will promptly deliver to the Company all such materials, including copies thereof, in his possession or under
his control. Any analytical templates, books, presentations, reference materials, computer disks and other similar materials already rightfully owned by the Executive prior to the
Effective Date shall remain the property of the Executive and any copies thereof obtained by or provided to the Company shall be returned or destroyed in a manner similar
acceptable to the Executive.
4. Not Employment Contract. The Executive acknowledges that this Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment and,
except as set forth in Executive Employment Agreement (to which this Agreement is ancillary), does not guarantee that the Company or any of its subsidiaries will continue his
employment for any period of time or otherwise change the at-will nature of his employment.
5. Interpretation. If any restriction set forth in Section 2 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it shall be modified to the
minimum extent necessary to render the modified restriction valid, legal and enforceable. The parties intend that the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions contained
in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each and every county of each and every state of the United States of America where this
provision is intended to be effective.
6. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
7. Waiver of Rights. No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent
given by the Company on any one occasion is effective only in that instance and will not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any other occasion.
8. Equitable Remedies. The restrictions contained in this Agreement are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and its subsidiaries and are
considered by the Executive to be reasonable for such purpose. The Executive agrees that any breach of this Agreement is likely to cause the Company substantial and
irrevocable damage and therefor, in the event of any such breach, the Executive agrees that the Company, in addition to such other remedies that may be available, shall be
entitled to specific performance and other injunctive relief.
9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Any action, suit, or other legal proceeding which
is commenced to resolve any matter arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement shall be commenced only in a court of the State of Delaware (or, if appropriate,
a federal court located within Delaware), and the Company and the Executive each consent to the jurisdiction of such a court.
A-2
7. Term. This Agreement shall be effective on the Effective Date. This Agreement shall expire on [Expiry of employment agreement], provided the obligations of the Executive
under Sections 2 shall survive for a period of one (1) year after expiration or termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing the obligations of the Executive under Sections 1 shall
survive for two (2) years and Section 3 shall survive indefinitely.
8. Certain Exclusions. The obligations stipulated in Section 1 of this Agreement shall not apply to confidential information which: (i) is, prior to disclosure, in the lawful
possession of, or already known to, the Executive; (ii) has come into the public domain through no fault of the Executive; (iii) has been lawfully received from a third party
without restrictions or breach of this Agreement; (iv) is independently developed by the Executive without any use of the confidential information of the Company; or (v) is
disclosed pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body, subject to the Executive giving reasonable prior notice in writing
to the Company to allow it to seek protective or other court orders.
THE EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT, HAS SOUGHT INDEPENDENT COUNSEL TO ADVISE HIM AS
TO THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HIS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER AND UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES TO ALL OF THE PROVISIONS IN THIS
AGREEMENT.
