Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

CISO GLOBAL, INC. and subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “our company” refer to CISO Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.

NOTE 1 –ORGANIZATION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

Description of the Business

We are a cybersecurity, compliance and software company comprised of highly trained and seasoned security professionals who work with clients to enhance or create a better cyber posture in their organization. We provide a full range of cybersecurity consulting, related services and cybersecurity software, encompassing all three pillars of compliance, cybersecurity, and culture. Our services include secured managed services, compliance services, security operations center (“SOC”) services, virtual Chief Information Security Officer (“vCISO”) services, incident response, certified forensics, technical assessments, and cybersecurity training. We believe that culture is the foundation of every successful cybersecurity and compliance program. To deliver that outcome, we developed our unique offering of MCCP+ (“Managed Compliance & Cybersecurity Provider + Culture”), which is a holistic solution that provides all three of these pillars under one roof from a dedicated team of subject matter experts. In contrast to the majority of cybersecurity firms that are focused on a specific technology or service, we seek to differentiate ourselves by remaining technology agnostic, focusing on accumulating highly sought-after topic experts. We continually seek to identify and acquire cybersecurity talent to expand our service scope and geographical coverage to provide the best possible service for our clients. We believe that bringing together a world-class team of technological experts with multi-faceted expertise in the critical aspects of cybersecurity is key to providing technology agnostic solutions to our clients in a business environment that has suffered from a chronic lack of highly skilled professionals, thereby setting us apart from competitors and in-house security teams. Our goal is to create a culture of security and to help quantify, define, and capture a return on investment from information technology and cybersecurity spending.

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to regulations of the SEC, and include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Our interim financial statements are unaudited, and in our opinion, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the periods presented. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, due to losses incurred, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern exists.

We are evaluating strategies to obtain the required additional funding for future operations. These strategies may include obtaining equity financing, issuing debt or entering into other financing arrangements, which may result in us taking the Company private and no longer operating as a publicly traded company, and restructuring operations to grow revenues and decrease expenses. However, we may be unable to access further equity or debt financing when needed. As such, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional liquidity when needed or under acceptable terms, if at all.

The ability for us to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish the plan and eventually attain profitable operations. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications of certain immaterial prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We periodically evaluate our estimates and adjust prospectively, if necessary. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results could materially differ.

We believe the critical accounting policies discussed below affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Material estimates include the allowance for credit losses, the carrying value of intangible assets and goodwill, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, the estimated fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and stock issued in business combinations, and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, share price, and expected dividend rate.

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue

Our revenue is derived from three major types of services to clients: security managed services, professional services and software. With respect to security managed services, we provide culture education and enablement, tools and technology provisioning, data and privacy monitoring, regulations and compliance monitoring, remote infrastructure administration, and cybersecurity services, including, but not limited to, antivirus and patch management. With respect to professional services, we provide cybersecurity consulting, compliance auditing, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, and disaster recovery and data backup solutions.

Our revenue is categorized and disaggregated as reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations as follows:

Security Managed Services

Security managed services revenue primarily consists of risk compliance, cyber defense operations, and secured managed services. We consider these services to be a single performance obligation, and revenue is recognized as services and materials are provided to the customer.

Professional Services

Professional services revenue primarily consists of security testing and training, and incident response and digital forensics. We consider these services to be a single performance obligation, and revenue is recognized in the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied.

Cybersecurity Software

Cybersecurity software revenue primarily consists of our internally developed cybersecurity software designed to provide a security management platform, protect users from untrusted and malicious online threats, provide proactive security monitoring, and deliver continuous security assessments. We consider these services to be a single performance obligation, and revenue is recognized in the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of allowances for credit losses. We periodically assess our accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. We provide for allowances for credit losses based on management’s estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and any other factors considered appropriate. Payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice. We write off accounts receivable against the allowance for credit losses when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our allowance for credit losses was $185,562 and $219,141, respectively.

Reverse Stock Split

On February 29, 2024, our board of directors approved a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of our common stock. The record date for the reverse stock split was the close of business on March 7, 2024, with share distribution occurring on March 8, 2024. As a result of the reverse stock split, stockholders receivedone share of CISO Global, Inc. common stock, par value $0.00001, for each 15 shares they held as of the record date. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated for the effects of this reverse stock split. Common stock underlying our outstanding warrants, convertible notes, and options have also been adjusted, and the conversion and exercise prices have also been adjusted.

Net Loss per Common Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For dilutive securities, all outstanding options and warrants are considered potentially outstanding common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options is calculated using the treasury stock method. All outstanding convertible notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive with respect to losses, the options, warrants and shares issuable upon conversion thereof have been excluded from our computation of net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Our shares of outstanding common stock and earnings per share calculation have been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect our 1-for-15 reverse stock split. The following tables summarize the securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive due to our net loss position even though the exercise price could be less than the average market price of the common shares:

June 30, 2024June 30, 2023
Stock options1,847,7802,324,968
Warrant49,61449,614
Convertible debt881,616277,778
Total2,779,0102,652,360

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognized for the services provided to our customers or annual licenses and is recognized as services are performed or ratably over the life of the license. We generally invoice customers in advance or in milestone-based installments.

Deferred revenue consisted of the following:

June 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Current:
Security managed services$867,222$578,941
Professional services570,213792,696
Software106,409-
Total deferred revenue - current$1,543,844$1,371,637
Long-term:
Security managed services$53,839$84,294
Total deferred revenue – long term$53,839$84,294

The increase in the deferred revenue balance is primarily driven by payments received in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, offset by $957,839 of revenue recognized during 2024, which was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2023. The deferred revenue balance as of June 30, 2024 represents our remaining performance obligations that will be recognized as revenue over the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied, and is expected to be recognized in revenue as follows:

Remainder of 2024202520262027Total
Security managed services$559,379$266,541$23,396$6,778$856,094
Professional services635,180---635,180
Software106,409---106,409
Total deferred revenue$1,300,968$266,541$23,396$6,778$1,597,683

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, 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 income in the period that includes the enactment date.

We utilize ASC 740,Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At June 30, 2024, our net deferred tax asset has been fully reserved.

For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, we recognize the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations when a determination is made that such expense is likely.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (FASB) issued guidance to update reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. This update is effective for our 2024 fiscal year and interim periods in fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this guidance require additional disclosures about income taxes, primarily focused on the disclosures of income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation table. The new guidance will be effective for the 2025 fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures within our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 –ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

We committed to a formal plan to sell our Latin America subsidiaries to focus on our US-based operations and development and marketing of our internally developed cybersecurity software.

NOTE 10 –COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Claims

There are no material pending legal proceedings in which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, any owner of record orbeneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or security holder is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.

Indirect Taxes

We are subject to indirect taxation in some, but not all, of the various states and foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Laws and regulations attempting to subject commerce conducted over the Internet to various indirect taxes are becoming more prevalent, both in the U.S. and internationally, and may impose additional burdens on us in the future. Increased regulation could negatively affect our business directly, as well as the business of our customers. Taxing authorities may impose indirect taxes on the Internet-related revenue we generated based on regulations currently being applied to similar, but not directly comparable industries. There are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate indirect tax determination is uncertain. In addition, domestic and international indirect taxation laws are complex and subject to change. We may be audited in the future, which could result in changes to our indirect tax estimates. We continually evaluate those jurisdictions in which nexus exists, and believe we maintain adequate indirect tax accruals.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our accrual for estimated indirect tax liabilities was $23,840 and $53,277, respectively, reflecting our best estimate of the potential liability based on an analysis of our business activities, revenues subject to indirect taxes, and applicable regulations. Although we believe our indirect tax estimates and associated liabilities are reasonable, the final determination of indirect tax audits, litigation, or settlements could be materially different than the amounts established for indirect tax contingencies.

Warranties

Our services are generally warranted to deliver and operate in a manner consistent with general industry standards that are reasonably applicable and materially conform with our documentation under normal use and circumstances.

We offer a limited warranty to certain customers, subject to certain conditions, to cover certain costs incurred by the customer in case of a security breach. We have entered into an insurance policy to cover our potential liability arising from this limited warranty arrangement. We have not incurred any material costs related to such obligations and have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

In addition, we also indemnify certain of our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities that may arise while they are serving in good faith in their company capacities. We maintain director and officer liability insurance coverage that would generally enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

NOTE 11 –LOANS PAYABLE AND LINES OF CREDIT

Loans Payable

Loans payable was as follows:

Interest RateMaturitiesJune 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Term loans (US dollar denominated)4.00% – 71.55%2024 - 2027$3,488,106$1,930,787
Less, current portion(3,431,948)(1,856,245)
Long term loans payable$56,158$74,542

Term Loans

Various subsidiaries in the United States are borrowers under certain term loans. These term loans require monthly principal and interest payments. These term loans are secured by various assets owned by our subsidiaries. We recorded aggregate interest expense on these term loans of $1,526 and $32,257 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $3,995 and $38,479 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Accrued interest as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 waszero. The aggregate effective interest rate of the term loans is 5.94%.

In November 2023, we entered into a business loan and security agreement with LendSpark Corporation, pursuant to which we obtained a loan with a principal amount of $2,200,000 and paid an origination fee of $44,000.

NOTE 12 –LEASES

We have entered into various non-cancellable operating lease agreements for certain offices. These leases currently have lease periods expiring through 2028. The lease agreements may include one or more options to renew.

Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The components of lease costs, weighted-average lease term, and discount rates are detailed below.

When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, we discounted lease payments using our estimated incremental borrowing rate at commencement date of each lease. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 10.10%. As of June 30, 2024, our leases had a remaining weighted average term of 3.37 years.
