PRELIMINARY – SUBJECT TO COMPLETION – DATED NOVEMBER 24, 2020

HELIX TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Greenwood Village, CO 80111
[•], 2020
Dear Fellow Stockholder:
On October 16, 2020, Helix Technologies, Inc., or “Helix,” Forian Inc., or “Forian,” and Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC, or “MOR” entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (which, as it may be amended, supplemented, or modified from time to time, we refer to as the “merger agreement”) providing for the merger of a subsidiary of Forian with and into Helix (which we refer to as the “Helix merger”), with Helix, following the merger, to be the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forian. Immediately prior to the consummation of the Helix merger, Forian and MOR will engage in a reorganization, pursuant to which the holders of the equity interests of MOR will exchange their MOR ownership interests for Forian common stock. This reorganization will result in MOR also becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Forian.
The Helix merger agreement provides for all of the outstanding shares of Helix preferred stock as well as certain outstanding convertible notes of Helix to be converted into Helix common stock. Afterward, at the effective time of the Helix merger, each outstanding share of Helix common stock (including those resulting from the preferred stock and the notes but excluding dissenting shares and certain excluded shares as described in the enclosed proxy statement/prospectus) will be converted into the right to receive 0.02731 shares of Forian common stock (which we refer to as the “Helix merger consideration”). Upon completion of the merger, former Helix stockholders are expected to own approximately 28% of the Forian’s outstanding common stock. The number of shares of Forian common stock that Helix stockholders will receive in the merger for each share of Helix common stock is fixed. Although it is expected that Forian’s common stock will be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market following the Helix merger, it currently is not traded and there has been no public market for its common stock. The implied value of the consideration Helix stockholders will receive in the merger will depend upon a number of factors that will not be known at the time you vote on the merger.
Helix will hold a special meeting of its stockholders in connection with the Helix merger. At this special meeting, Helix stockholders will be asked to vote to approve the Helix merger agreement and certain other matters, as described in the enclosed proxy statement/prospectus.
The special meeting of Helix stockholders will be held virtually on the Internet [•], 2020 at [•] local time.
Your vote is important. We cannot complete the Helix merger unless Helix’s stockholders approve the Helix merger agreement. The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Helix common stock entitled to vote on the Helix merger agreement is required for the approval of the Helix merger agreement by Helix’s stockholders. Regardless of whether you plan to attend the special meeting, please take the time to vote your shares in accordance with the instructions contained in the enclosed proxy statements/prospectus.
The Helix board of directors unanimously recommends that Helix stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Helix merger agreement and “FOR” the other matters to be considered at the Helix special meeting.
The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus describes the special meeting, the Helix merger, the documents related to the Helix merger, and other related matters. Please carefully read the entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the section titled Risk Factors,” for a discussion of the risks relating to the proposed Helix merger. You also can obtain information about the proposed Helix merger, and Forian from documents that Forian has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
If you have any questions regarding the Helix merger, please contact Scott Ogur, Helix’s Chief Financial Officer, by mail at 5300 DTC Parkway, Suite 300, Greenwood Village, CO 80111 or by telephone at (720) 328-5372.
We are excited about the opportunities afforded by the Helix merger and look forward to seeing you at the special meeting.
Sincerely,
[Insert Signature here]
Zachary L. Venegas.

(ii)
failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the mergers, including as a result of delay in completing the transaction, integrating the businesses of Helix and MOR or implementing any contemplated business separation (if undertaken), receiving the anticipated tax treatment of the merger, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expected cost savings, expected expenses, expected earnings, expected synergies, future prospects, and the failure to implement business and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of Forian’s businesses following the merger;
(iii)
pricing trends, including Helix’s and MOR’s ability to achieve economies of scale;
(iv)
potential litigation relating to the merger that could be instituted against Helix, MOR or their respective directors;

certain restrictions during the pendency of the merger that may impact Helix’s and MOR’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; and
(xiv)
unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, natural disasters, the outbreak of coronavirus or similar outbreaks or pandemics, and their effects on economic and business environments in which Helix and MOR operate, as well as Helix’s and MOR’s response to any of the aforementioned factors.

PROXY STATEMENT
Special Meeting of Stockholders of Helix Technologies, Inc. to be held on [•], 2020
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The following are some questions that stockholders of Helix Technologies, Inc., which we refer to as Helix, may have regarding the merger and the other matters being considered at the special meeting as well as the answers to those questions. Helix (which we also refer to as “we”) recommends that you read carefully the remainder of this proxy statement/prospectus because the information in this section does not provide all the information that might be important to you with respect to the merger and the other matters being considered at the special meeting. Additional important information is also contained in the appendices to this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information” on page 181.
General Merger-Related Questions and Answers
Q:
Why are Helix stockholders receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?
A:
On October 16, 2020, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Helix Technologies, Inc., or “Helix,” Forian Inc., or “Forian,” DNA Merger Sub, Inc., or “Merger Sub,” and Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC, or “MOR” (which, as it may be amended, supplemented, or modified from time to time, we refer to as the “merger agreement”). A copy of the merger agreement is included in this proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix A. Under the merger agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Helix (which we refer to as the “merger”), with Helix, following the merger, to be the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forian.
In order for Helix stockholders to approve the Helix merger agreement and certain related matters, Helix has called a special meeting of its stockholders (which we refer to as the “Helix special meeting”). Helix shareholders are receiving this document because it is a proxy statement being used by the Helix board of directors to solicit proxies from Helix stockholders in connection with the approval of the merger agreement and related matters by Helix’s stockholders and it describes the proposals to be presented at the Helix special meeting. This document also constitutes a prospectus of Forian because Forian is offering shares of its common stock to Helix stockholders in exchange for outstanding shares of Helix common stock, as consideration for the Helix merger.
This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the Helix merger, the merger agreement, the Helix special meeting, and related matters, as well as important information to consider in connection with an investment in Forian common stock. You should read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully and in its entirety.
Q:
What will happen in the merger?
A:
In the merger, Forian will acquire Helix by means of the merger of Merger Sub into Helix. Helix will be the surviving entity in the merger. Each share of Helix common stock outstanding will be converted into the right to receive 0.02731 shares of Forian common stock.
Q:
When do you expect to complete the merger?
A:
We currently expect to complete the merger during the first quarter of 2021. However, we cannot assure you when or if the merger will occur. Helix must, among other things, obtain the required approvals of Helix stockholders at its special meeting and satisfy the other conditions to the merger described below in “The Merger Agreement—Conditions of the Merger” beginning on page 78.
1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q:
What happens if the merger is not completed?
A:
If the merger is not completed, holders of Helix common stock will not receive any consideration for their shares in connection with the merger. Instead, Helix will remain an independent public company and its common stock would be expected to continue to be quoted on the OTCQB. In addition, in certain circumstances, a termination fee may be required to be paid by Helix. See “The Merger Agreement—Termination Fee” beginning on page 80 for a complete discussion of the circumstances under which the termination fee will be required to be paid.
Q:
Will Helix be required to submit the Helix merger proposal to its stockholders even if the Helix board of directors has withdrawn or modified its recommendation?
A:
Yes. Unless the merger agreement is terminated before the Helix special meeting, Helix is required to submit the Helix merger proposal to its stockholders even if the Helix board of directors has withdrawn or modified its recommendation, consistent with the terms of the merger agreement.
Q:
Is the merger expected to be taxable to Helix stockholders?
A:
Generally, no. The merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and holders of Helix common stock are not expected to recognize any gain or loss for U. S. federal income tax purposes on the exchange of shares of Helix common stock for shares of Forian common stock in the merger. You should read “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger and the Contribution” beginning on page 83 for a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. Tax matters can be complicated and the tax consequences of the merger to you will depend on your particular tax situation. You should consult your tax advisor to determine the specific tax consequences of the merger to you.
Helix Special Meeting
Q:
Who may access the virtual Helix special meeting?
A:
Only stockholders and their proxy holders will be able to access the virtual special meeting. As indicated, we will not have an in-person special meeting. You will need to enter the 16-digit control number received with your proxy card to enter the special meeting via the online web portal. See “If I vote by proxy, can I still access the special meeting and vote there if I choose?” below.
Q:
How many votes constitute a quorum in order to hold the Helix special meeting? Do abstentions and “broker non-votes” count?
A:
Stockholders representing at least a majority of the shares of capital stock entitled to vote at a meeting must be present in present in person or represented by proxy in order to constitute a quorum. Stockholders who participate in the virtual special meeting will be deemed to be present in person. A quorum must exist to conduct any business at the special meeting. If a quorum is not present at the special meeting, any officer entitled to preside at or to act as Secretary of the special meeting will have power to adjourn the special meeting from time to time until a quorum is present.
Abstentions will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Broker non-votes, however, are included in the calculation of the number of votes considered to be present at the special meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum only when there are “routine” matters to be voted upon. Because there is no “routine” matter to be voted upon at the special meeting, broker non-votes will not be included for purposes of determining a quorum. See “What are ‘broker votes’ and ‘broker non-votes’?” below.
Q:
Who may vote at the Helix special meeting?
A:
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on December [•], 2020 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting. As of that date, there were [•] shares of Helix common stock outstanding and entitled to be voted at the special meeting. Each share is entitled to one (1) vote on all matters at the special meeting.
2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q:
Do Helix preferred stockholders have the right to vote on the merger?
A.
Yes; however, the owners of 100% of the shares of Helix preferred stock that are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Helix special meeting have signed voting and support agreements agreeing to vote in favor of adoption of the merger agreement and the Helix adjournment proposal. Accordingly, it will not be necessary to solicit their proxies in connection with the Helix special meeting. See “THE MERGER – Voting and Support Agreements” beginning on page 66.
Q:
Who may solicit proxies on Helix’s behalf?
A:
In addition to solicitation of proxies by Helix by mail, proxies may also be solicited by Helix’s directors and employees personally, and by telephone, facsimile or other means. Helix has also made arrangements with [•] to assist it in soliciting proxies. For more information on solicitation of proxies in connection with the special meeting of Helix stockholders, see “The Helix Special Meeting - Solicitation of Proxies” beginning on page 144.
Q:
Will a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Helix special meeting be available?
A:
In accordance with Delaware law, a list of Helix stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting will be available for any purpose germane to the special meeting beginning [•], 2020 at Helix’s corporate headquarters during regular business hours. In addition, during the special meeting, that list of stockholders will be available for examination at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HLIX2020SM.
Q:
What am I voting on at the Helix special meeting?
A:
Helix stockholders are being asked to vote on:
Adoption of the merger agreement as such agreement may be amended from time to time, which we refer to as the Helix merger proposal;
Approval, in a non-binding advisory vote, of certain compensation that may become payable to Helix’s named executive officers in connection with the merger, which we refer to as the Helix merger-related compensation proposal; and
Approval of the adjournment, postponement or continuance of the special meeting on one or more occasions, if necessary or appropriate, in order to further solicit proxies, in the event that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the foregoing proposals, which we refer to as the Helix adjournment proposal.
We will also consider other business that properly comes before the special meeting in accordance with Delaware law and our Bylaws.
Q:
What are my choices when voting on the Helix merger proposal and what vote is needed to approve it?
A:
Regarding the vote to adopt the Helix merger proposal, Helix stockholders may:

Q:
How do Helix stockholders vote?
A:
If shares are registered with our transfer agent, Equiniti US. (“Equiniti”) directly in the name of a Helix stockholder, that stockholder is considered a stockholder of record with respect to those shares. This proxy statement/prospectus and a proxy card is being sent directly to record holders by Equiniti. Please carefully consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus and, whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, please vote by (i) accessing the Internet website specified on your proxy card, (ii) calling the toll-free number specified on your proxy card, if you requested printed copies of the proxy materials or (iii) marking, signing and returning your proxy card promptly, if you requested printed copies of the proxy materials, so that we can be assured of having a quorum present at the special meeting and so that your shares may be voted in accordance with your wishes, even if you later decide to attend the special meeting.
If a Helix stockholder holds shares in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, those shares may be voted by Internet or telephone depending on the voting procedures used by the broker, bank or other nominee, as explained below under the question “How do Helix stockholders vote if their shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee?”
Q:
How do Helix stockholders vote if their shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee?
A:
If shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee (this is called “street name”), the broker, bank or other nominee will send you instructions for voting those shares. Many (but not all) brokerage firms, banks and other nominees participate in a program provided through Broadridge that offers Internet and telephone voting options.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q:
If a stockholder votes by proxy, can that stockholder still access the Helix special meeting and vote there?
A:
Yes. If you are a Helix stockholder of record, the method you use to vote will not limit your right to vote at the virtual special meeting if you decide to participate. As indicated, Helix is hosting the special meeting exclusively online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HELIX 2021. There will be no physical location at which stockholders may attend the special meeting, but stockholders may attend and participate in the meeting electronically. Stockholders who participate in the virtual special meeting will be deemed to be present in person and will be able to vote during the special meeting at the times that the polls are open. Stockholders who wish to attend the meeting should go to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HLIX2020SM at least 10 minutes before the beginning of the meeting to register their attendance and complete the verification procedures to confirm that they were stockholders of record as of [•], 2020. The proxy card includes instructions on how to participate in the special meeting and how to vote your shares by accessing the virtual special meeting via the Internet. Stockholders will need to enter the 16-digit control number received with the proxy card to enter the special meeting via the online web portal.
Q:
If my Helix shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee, may a Helix stockholder still access the Helix special meeting?
A:
Yes. Beneficial owners whose stock is held for them in street name by their brokers or other nominees may also attend the meeting by going to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HLIX2020SM at least 10 minutes before the beginning of the meeting to register their attendance and complete the verification procedures to confirm that they were stockholders as of the record date. Such beneficial owners may not vote at the meeting, and may only cause their shares to be voted by providing voting instructions to the persons who hold the beneficial owners’ shares for them. Beneficial owners will need to provide the name of the broker or other nominee that holds their shares to gain access to the virtual meeting.
Q:
May Helix stockholders ask questions during the special meeting?
A:
Yes. Questions may be submitted in two ways. Stockholders who want to ask a question before the meeting may do so, beginning at [•] a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on [•], 2020, and until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on [•], 2020, by logging into www.proxyvote.com and entering their 16-digit control number. Once past the login screen, click on “Question for Management,” type in the question, and click “Submit.” Alternatively, stockholders will be able to submit questions live during the meeting by accessing the meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HLIX2020SM, typing their question into the “Ask a Question” field, and clicking “Submit.” Only questions pertinent to meeting matters will be answered during the meeting, subject to time constraints.
Q:
Do Helix stockholders have appraisal or dissenters’ rights?
A:
Yes. Under applicable Delaware law, Helix stockholders have the right to dissent from the Helix merger proposal and receive the “fair value” of their Helix shares in cash. Perfection of dissenters’ rights is complex. The procedures for exercising dissenters’ rights is described in “APPRAISAL RIGHTS OF HELIX STOCKHOLDERS ” beginning on page 66. Additionally, the full text of the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) relative to dissenters’ rights is included as Appendix D to this proxy statement/prospectus.
Q:
What are “broker votes” and “broker non-votes”?
A:
On certain “routine” matters, brokerage firms have discretionary authority under applicable stock exchange rules to vote their customers’ shares if their customers do not provide voting instructions. When a brokerage firm votes its customers’ shares on a routine matter without receiving voting instructions (referred to as a “broker vote”), these shares are counted both for establishing a quorum to conduct business at the special meeting and in determining the number of shares voted “FOR” or “AGAINST” any “routine” matter.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Proposal 1 – the Helix merger proposal, Proposal 2 – the Helix merger-related compensation proposal and Proposal 3 – the Helix adjournment proposal all are considered “non-routine” matters for which brokerage firms do not have discretionary authority to vote their customers’ shares if their customers did not provide voting instructions. Therefore, for purposes of the special meeting, if a Helix stockholder holds Helix common stock through a brokerage account, the brokerage firm may not vote those shares on the stockholder’s behalf on any of Proposal 1 – the Helix merger proposal, Proposal 2 – the Helix merger-related compensation proposal or Proposal 3 – the Helix adjournment proposal, without receiving instructions from the stockholder. When a brokerage firm does not have the authority to vote its customers’ shares or does not exercise its authority, these situations are referred to as “broker non-votes.” Since there are no non-routine matters being voted on at the special meeting, Helix will not have any broker non-votes at the special meeting. that may either count for purposes of establishing a quorum or that may be voted on any matter to be presented at the special meeting. Banks, brokers and other nominees will send instructions to stockholders for whom they hold Helix stock on how they can instruct the banks, brokers or other nominees to vote on these proposals. If no voting instructions are provided, banks, brokers and other nominees will not vote those shares on these proposals.
Helix encourages its stockholders to provide instructions to their brokerage firm, bank or other nominee by voting their proxy. This action ensures that shares will be voted at the special meeting on all matters up for consideration.
Q:
What if a Helix stockholder abstains from voting?
A:
Helix stockholders have the option to “ABSTAIN” from voting with respect to Proposal 1 – the Helix merger proposal, Proposal 2 – the Helix merger-related compensation proposal and Proposal 3 – the Helix adjournment proposal. If a quorum is present, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against Proposal 1 but will have no effect on Proposals 2 and 3, because, by abstaining, the stockholder will be deemed to not have cast a vote with respect to such proposals.
Q:
May a proxy be revoked after it has been delivered?
A:
Yes. A proxy may be revoked at any time before the polls close by submitting a subsequent proxy with a later date by using the Internet, by telephone or by mail or by sending our Corporate Secretary a written revocation. A proxy also will be considered revoked if the stockholder attends the special meeting and votes via the virtual portal. If shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee, the stockholder must contact their broker, bank or other nominee to change their vote or obtain a proxy to vote their shares if they wish to cast their vote during the virtual special meeting.
Q:
How will my Helix shares be voted if a proxy card is returned or the stockholder votes via telephone or Internet? What if a proxy card is returned but does not provide voting instructions? What if a stockholder does not complete the telephone or Internet voting procedures without specifying how shares are to be voted?
A:
The Helix Board of Directors has named Zachary L. Venegas, Helix’s Chief Executive Officer, and Scott Ogur, Helix’s Chief Financial Officer, as official proxy holders. They will vote all proxies, or record an abstention, in accordance with the directions on the proxy.
All shares represented by properly executed proxies, unless previously revoked, will be voted at the special meeting as the stockholder directs.
IF YOU SIGN AND RETURN YOUR PROXY CARD BUT GIVE NO DIRECTION OR COMPLETE THE TELEPHONE OR INTERNET VOTING PROCEDURES BUT DO NOT SPECIFY HOW YOU WANT TO VOTE YOUR SHARES, THE SHARES WILL BE VOTED “FOR” THE HELIX MERGER PROPOSAL; AND “FOR” THE HELIX ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.
Q:
Who will count the votes at the Helix special meeting?
A:
A representative of Broadridge has been appointed as an inspector of elections for the special meeting. That person will tabulate votes cast by proxy or during the special meeting as well as determine whether a quorum is present.

Q:
What do holders of Helix common stock need to do now?
A:
After you have carefully read this document and have decided how you wish to vote your Helix shares, please vote your shares as soon as possible. If you are a stockholder of record, to vote by proxy card, indicate on your proxy card how you want your shares to be voted with respect to each of the matters indicated. When complete, sign, date and mail your proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid return envelope as soon as possible. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone or through the Internet by following the voting instructions found on your proxy card. If you beneficially hold your shares through a bank, broker, nominee or other holder of record, you should follow the voting instructions you receive from that holder of record to vote your shares.
Submitting your proxy by Internet, telephone or mail or directing your bank or broker to vote your shares will ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Helix special meeting. If you would like to attend the Helix special meeting, see “The Helix Special Meeting – Attending the Special Meeting” beginning on page 145.
Q:
Why is your vote as a Helix stockholder important?
A:
If you do not vote by proxy card, telephone or Internet or vote in person at the Helix special meeting, it will be more difficult for Helix to obtain the necessary quorum to hold its special meeting. In addition, approval of the Helix merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Helix common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting. The Helix board of directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote to adopt the Helix merger proposal. Further, due to the importance of the vote to approve the Helix merger proposal, Helix is also seeking, through the Helix adjournment proposal, authority from stockholders to adjourn the Helix special meeting to temporarily delay the meeting to provide time for Helix to solicit additional proxies in the event there are insufficient votes to adopt the Helix merger proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q:

General Contribution-Related Questions and Answers
Q:
What will happen in the contribution?
A:
Forian, MOR and each equity holder of MOR will enter into a contribution agreement, pursuant to which, immediately prior to the Merger, each equity holder of MOR will contribute their interests in MOR to Forian in exchange for shares of Forian common stock, following the contribution, MOR will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forian. A copy of the form of contribution agreement is included in this proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix B. Each 0.09709 units of MOR will be exchanged for one share of Forian common stock. This document also constitutes a prospectus of Forian because Forian is offering shares of its common stock to equity holders of MOR in exchange for outstanding units of MOR, as consideration for the contribution.
Q:
When will the contribution be completed?
A:
The contribution is to occur immediately prior to the merger. We currently expect to complete the merger during the first quarter of 2021. However, we cannot assure you when or if the merger will occur. Helix must, among other things, obtain the required approvals of Helix stockholders at its special meeting to satisfy the other conditions to the merger described below in “The Merger Agreement – Conditions of the Merger” beginning on page 78.
Q:
What happens if the contribution is not completed?
A:
If the contribution is not completed, equity holders of MOR will not receive any consideration for their interests in MOR in connection with the proposed contribution. Instead, MOR will remain an independent private company.
Q:
Is the contribution expected to be taxable to MOR equity holders?
A:
Generally, no. The contribution is intended to qualify as a transaction described in Section 351(a) of the Code, and equity holders of MOR are not expected to recognize any gain or loss for U. S. federal income tax purposes on the exchange of equity interests in MOR for shares of Forian common stock in the contribution. You should read “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger and the Contribution” beginning on page 81 for a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the contribution. Tax matters can be complicated and the tax consequences of the contribution to you will depend on your particular tax situation. You should consult your tax advisor to determine the specific tax consequences of the contribution to you.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement, at the effective time, each share of Helix common stock that is owned directly by Forian, Merger Sub, Helix, any Helix subsidiary or held in Helix’s treasury will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be canceled and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.
Stock Options
Each outstanding Helix stock option, whether vested or unvested, will be automatically converted at the effective time into a Forian stock option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Helix stock option immediately prior to the effective time, the number of shares of Forian commons stock (rounded, if necessary, down to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying the number of shares of Helix common stock subject to such Helix stock option as of immediately prior to the effective time by the exchange ratio, at an exercise price per share of Forian common stock (rounded, if necessary, up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the exercise price per share of Helix common stock under such Helix stock option divided by the exchange ratio.

Recommendation of the Helix Board of Directors (page 46)
After careful consideration, the Helix board of directors unanimously recommends that Helix stockholders vote “FOR” the merger proposal, “FOR” the merger-related compensation proposal, and “FOR” the adjournment proposal. For a more complete description of Helix’s reasons for the merger and the recommendation of the Helix board of directors, please see the section entitled “THE MERGER—Reasons for the Merger and Recommendation of the Helix Board of Directors” beginning on page 46.
Opinion of Helix’s Financial Advisor (pages 48)
On October 16, 2020, Helix’s financial advisor in connection with the merger, delivered an oral opinion to the Helix board of directors, which was subsequently confirmed in a written opinion dated the same date, to the effect that, as of such date and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Management Planning Inc., or MPI, as set forth in such opinion, the 4,420,000 shares (net of options and warrants) of Forian common stock to be received by the holders of Helix common stock in the proposed merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.
The full text of MPI’s opinion dated October 16, 2020 is attached as Appendix C to this proxy statement/prospectus, and the full text of the opinion is incorporated herein by reference. You should read the opinion as well as the section entitled “THE MERGER—Opinion of Helix’s Financial Advisor” beginning on page 48 in their entirety to understand the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by MPI.
MPI’s opinion was for the information of, and was directed to, the Helix board of directors (in its capacity as such) in connection with its consideration of the financial terms of the merger.
The opinion addressed only the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date of the opinion, to the Helix stockholders of the exchange of (a) 100% of the fully diluted common stock of Helix (160,307,826 shares) for (b) 4,420,000 shares (net of options and warrants) of Forian in the merger to the common stockholders of Helix. It did not address the underlying business decision of Helix to engage in the merger or enter into the merger agreement or constitute a recommendation to the Helix board of directors in connection with the merger, and it does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of Helix common stock or any shareholder of any other entity as to how to vote in connection with the merger or any other matter, nor does it constitute a recommendation regarding whether or not any such shareholder should enter into a voting, stockholders’, or affiliates’ agreement with respect to the merger or exercise any dissenters’ or appraisal rights that may be available to such shareholder. MPI received a fee for its services, none of which was contingent upon consummation of the merger.
For further information, please see the section entitled “THE MERGER—Opinion of Helix’s Financial Advisor” beginning on page 48.
Material U. S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (page 83)
The merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code and it is a condition to the respective obligations of Forian and Helix to complete the merger that each of Forian and Helix receives a legal opinion from Forian’s tax counsel that the merger qualifies as a reorganization. Consistent with such treatment, as a result of receiving Forian common stock and cash in exchange for Helix common stock, in general, a U.S. holder (as defined in the section entitled “MATERIAL U. S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER AND THE CONTRIBUTION” beginning on page 83) of Helix common stock will recognize gain, but not loss, equal to the lesser of cash received or gain realized in the merger; provided, that, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt of cash for a fractional share interest will be different. The amount of gain realized will equal the amount by which the cash plus the fair market value, at the effective time of the merger, of Forian common stock exceeds the shareholder’s basis in Helix common stock to be surrendered in exchange therefor.
11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

This tax treatment may not apply to every shareholder of Helix. Determining the actual tax consequences of the merger to you may be complicated and will depend on your specific situation and on variables not within our control. We strongly recommend that you consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the merger to you.
For more information, please see the section entitled “MATERIAL U. S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER AND THE CONTRIBUTION” beginning on page 83.
Risk Factors (page 18)
Before voting at the special meeting, you should carefully consider all of the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the risk factors set forth in the section entitled “RISK FACTORS” beginning on page 18 and the risk factors described in Helix’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended on December 31, 2019 and other reports that Helix files with the SEC. Please see the section entitled “WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION” beginning on page 181.
Helix Special Meeting of Stockholders (page 143)
The Helix special meeting will be held on [•] day, [•], 2020 at 10:00 a.m. (ET) virtually on the internet. At the special meeting, Helix stockholders will be asked:
To approve the Helix merger proposal;
To approve the Helix merger-related compensation proposal; and
To approve the Helix adjournment proposal.
Helix Record Date; Vote Required (page 59)
Helix stockholders can vote at the special meeting if they owned shares of Helix common stock at the close of business on [•], 2020, which is the record date for the special meeting. On the record date, Helix had [•] shares of common stock outstanding and approximately [•] stockholders entitled to vote. Each Helix stockholder can cast one vote for each share of Helix common stock owned on that date.
The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of Helix common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum. Abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum; however, broker “non-votes” are not counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Although brokers have discretionary power to vote your shares of Helix common stock with respect to routine matters, they do not have discretionary power to vote your shares of Helix common stock on non-routine matters. All proposals for consideration at the Helix special meeting are non-routine and therefore your broker will not be able to vote your shares of Helix common stock with respect to these proposals unless the broker received appropriate instructions from you.
If a quorum exists, the approval of the Helix merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Helix common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal as votes against this proposal.
If a quorum exists, approval, on an advisory basis only, of the Helix merger-related compensation proposal, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the special meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be disregarded and have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.
If a quorum exists, the approval of the Helix adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the special meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be disregarded and have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.
As of the record date, Helix directors and executive officers, and their affiliates, beneficially held approximately [•]% of the outstanding shares of Helix common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Helix directors and executive officers have entered into support agreements that obligate each director to vote shares of Helix common stock over which each such director has sole voting and dispositive power for approval of the Helix merger proposal.

Some of the directors and executive officers of Helix have interests in the merger that differ from, or are in addition to, their interests as stockholders of Helix. These interests exist because of, among other things, employment or severance agreements that the executive officers entered into with Helix, rights that these executive officers and directors have under Helix’s benefit plans including equity plans and deferred compensation plans, agreements or arrangements with Forian to continue or serve as employees, consultants and/or directors following the merger, and rights to indemnification and directors and officers insurance following the merger. The employment and severance agreements provide certain executive officers with severance benefits if their employment is terminated in connection with the merger. The aggregate compensation that certain Helix directors and named executive officers or their affiliates may receive as a result of the merger is described in greater detail under “Interests of Certain Helix Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 61.
In addition, Scott Ogur, Chief Financial Officer of Helix will join the board of directors of Forian.
Further, as of the record date of the Helix special meeting, Helix directors and executive officers owned, in the aggregate, options to purchase [•] shares of Helix common stock, [•] shares of preferred stock convertible notes that convert into [•] shares of Helix common stock, all of which will be converted and/or adjusted prior to the merger. The treatment of the options, preferred stock and convertible notes is set forth in the merger agreement and described in greater detail under “Interests of Helix Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 61.
The members of the Helix board of directors knew about these additional interests and considered them when they approved the merger agreement and the merger.
Conditions of the Merger (page 78)
The obligations of Forian and Helix to complete the merger depend on a number of conditions being satisfied or waived. These conditions include:
Helix stockholders’ approval of the merger agreement;
the effectiveness of the registration statement filed on Form S-4 of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part and no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof will have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose will have been initiated or threatened by the SEC;

We cannot be certain when, or if, the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived, or that the merger will be completed.
No Solicitation of Acquisition Proposals (page 74)
The merger agreement requires Helix, each of its subsidiaries, and its and their respective officers, directors, managers or employees to cease other solicitations, discussions or negotiations with any persons that were ongoing at the time the merger agreement was entered into with respect to any inquiry, proposal, discussion, offer or request that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to another transaction involving Helix and to refrain from engaging in further such activities.
The merger agreement further requires Helix to refrain from recommending against the merger with Forian except under certain circumstances set forth in the merger agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the merger agreement, if Helix or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their respective representatives receives a written alternative proposal by any person or group at any time prior to the Helix special meeting that was not solicited in material breach of the merger agreement, Helix and its representatives may, prior to the Helix special meeting, if the Helix board of directors (or any committee thereof) has determined, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with Helix’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel), that such alternative proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal (provided that Helix and its representatives may contact such person or group prior to such conclusion solely to clarify the terms and conditions thereof to determine whether such alternative proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal) and that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable law: (i) furnish non-public information to and afford access to the business, employees, officers, contracts, properties, assets, books and records of Helix and its subsidiaries to any person in response to such alternative proposal, pursuant to the prior execution of (and Helix and/or its subsidiaries may enter into) an acceptable confidentiality agreement (provided that Helix has previously furnished, made available or provided access to Forian to any such non-public information or substantially concurrently (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours thereafter) does so); and (ii) enter into and maintain discussions or negotiations with any person regarding such alternative proposal.
Notwithstanding anything in the merger agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to (but not after) the Helix special meeting, the Helix board of directors may, if Helix has received an alternative proposal from any Person or Group that is not withdrawn and Helix Board concludes in good faith constitutes a superior proposal (after taking into account the terms of any revised offer by Forian), (i) make an adverse recommendation change, or (ii) terminate the merger agreement in order to enter into a definitive written agreement providing for such superior proposal simultaneously with the termination of the merger agreement, in each case only if (A) if the Helix board of directors (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors), that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) the Helix Board (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors) that such alternative proposal constitutes a superior proposal, and (C) Helix has complied in all material respects with the terms of the merger agreement with respect to such alternative proposal; provided, however, that (1) no adverse
14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

recommendation change may be made, and (2) no related termination of the merger agreement may be effected, in each case until after the fifth Business Day (which we refer to as the notice period) following Forian’s receipt of a written notice from Helix advising Forian that Helix has received an alternative proposal that is not withdrawn and that the Helix Board (or any committee thereof) has concluded in good faith constitutes a superior proposal and, absent any revision to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, the Helix board of directors intends to make an adverse recommendation change on account of such alternative proposal or terminate the merger agreement (which we refer to as a notice of a superior proposal) and specifying the reasons therefor, including the terms and conditions of any such superior proposal (including copies of all relevant documents in Helix’s possession relating to such superior proposal) and the identity of the party making the superior proposal (in each case to the extent not previously provided by Helix to Forian). During the notice period, Helix will, and will cause its representatives to negotiate with Forian and its representatives in good faith (to the extent Forian desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of the merger agreement so that the alternative proposal would cease to constitute a superior proposal. Any material amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment of such superior proposal will require a new notice of superior proposal and Helix will be required to comply again with the requirements of the merger agreement. In determining whether an alternative proposal constitutes a superior proposal, the Helix board of directors Board (or committee thereof) will take into account any changes to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement proposed by Forian in response to a notice of superior proposal.
Termination (page 79)
The merger agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the effective time under the following circumstances:
by mutual written consent of Helix and Forian;
by either Helix or Forian:
if the Merger is not consummated on or before February 26, 2021, provided, that, the right to terminate the merger agreement will not be available to a party if its action or failure to act constitutes a material breach or violation of any of its covenants, agreements or other obligations hereunder and such material breach or violation has been the principal cause of or directly resulted in the failure to satisfy the conditions to the obligations of the terminating party to consummate the merger prior to February 26, 2021 or the failure of the closing of the merger to occur by February 26, 2021;
if an applicable law, order, preliminary, temporary or permanent, or other legal restraint or prohibition and no action, proceeding, binding order, decree or determination by any governmental entity is in effect that prevents, enjoins, makes illegal or prohibits the consummation of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement;
if Helix stockholder approval of the merger is not obtained at the Helix special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof at which the vote was taken on the merger; or
if all of the conditions to closing have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied (or waived) at the closing, which conditions would be reasonably capable of being satisfied at such time) and Forian is unable to satisfy its obligation to effect the closing at such time because a private offering by MOR of equity interests or other securities of MOR on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to MOR in its sole discretion, resulting in net proceeds to MOR (after deducting applicable fees, expenses, charges and discounts) in the aggregate amount of at least $11,000,000 cannot be completed prior to the closing date.
By Helix, if Forian or Merger Sub has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in the merger agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Forian or Merger Sub has become untrue, in each case, such that the closing conditions, could not be satisfied as of the closing date; provided, however, that Helix may not terminate the merger agreement unless any such breach or failure to be true has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice by Helix to Forian
15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

informing Forian of such breach or failure to be true, except that no cure period will be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured prior to February 26, 2021; and provided, further, that Helix may not terminate the merger agreement pursuant if Helix is then in breach of the merger agreement in any material respect;
by Helix prior to the receipt of Helix’s stockholder approval in order to enter into a definitive written agreement providing for a superior proposal if Helix has complied in all material respects with the merger agreement; provided, that, Helix pays the applicable termination fee prior to or simultaneously with such termination and enters into such definitive written agreement for such superior proposal simultaneously with such termination of the merger agreement;
by Forian, if Helix has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in the merger agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Helix has become untrue, in each case, such that the closing conditions, could not be satisfied as of the closing date; provided, however, that Forian may not terminate the merger agreement unless any such breach or failure to be true has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice by Forian to Helix of such breach or failure to be true, except that no cure period will be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured prior to February 26, 2021; and provided, further, Forian may not terminate the merger agreement if Forian is then in breach of the merger agreement in any material respect;
by Forian, prior to the Helix special meeting or, if such meeting is adjourned, the reconvening of such meeting, in the event that the Helix board made a change in board recommendation;
by Forian, if Helix has materially breached its obligations regarding non-solicitation and alternative proposals;
by Forian, if Helix has not divested its guarding business at least fifteen (15) business days prior to February 26, 2021; or
by Forian, if The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC informs Forian that the shares of Forian common stock are not, or will not be, approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, whether or not such decision is subject to appeal.
Expenses and Termination Fees (page 80)
Generally, each party is required to pay all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the merger and the other transactions and agreements contemplated by the merger agreement. However, upon a termination of the merger agreement, a party will become obligated to pay to the other party a termination fee in certain circumstances.
The merger agreement provides that, upon termination of the merger agreement under specified circumstances, Helix will be required to pay Forian a termination fee equal to the greater of (a) $1,365,000 and (b) the aggregate amount of all costs, fees and expenses incurred by Forian and its affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The merger agreement provides that, upon termination of the merger agreement under specified circumstances, Helix will be required to reimburse Forian the aggregate amount of all costs, fees and expenses incurred by Forian and its affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The merger agreement provides that, upon termination of the merger agreement under specified circumstances, Forian will be required to pay Helix a termination fee of $500,000.
Voting and Support Agreements (page 66)
Concurrent with the execution and delivery of the merger agreement, certain of Helix’s officers, directors and significant stockholders (which we refer to as a supporting stockholder) entered into voting and support agreements (which we refer to as voting agreements) with Forian. The supporting stockholders beneficially own approximately 45% of the issued and outstanding shares of Helix common stock and 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Helix preferred stock entitled to vote at Helix special meeting.
Pursuant to the voting agreements, each supporting stockholder agreed, among other things to, vote or cause to be voted the shares of Helix common stock and Helix preferred stock (on an as-converted basis) beneficially owned by such supporting stockholder in favor of (i) the adoption of the merger agreement and approval of the merger and (b) against (i) any action or proposal that would constitute a breach in any respect of any covenant,
16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

representation or warranty under the merger agreement or of such supporting stockholder under the applicable voting agreement, or that reasonably would be expected to prevent, impede, frustrate, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the merger or any of the other transactions involving Helix or the consummation thereof, (ii) any alternative proposal or any proposal relating to an alternative proposal, or (iii) any proposal in opposition to approval of the merger agreement or in competition with or materially inconsistent with the merger agreement. See “THE MERGER AGREEMENT – Voting and Support Agreements”.
The supporting stockholders also agreed to waive their appraisal rights in connection with the merger and agreed to certain non-solicitation obligations with respect to any inquiry or alternative proposals. See “APPRAISAL RIGHTS OF HELIX STOCKHOLDERS” and “THE MERGER AGREEMENT – Acquisition Proposals”.
Each supporting stockholder that beneficially owns shares of Helix preferred stock also agreed, under the voting agreements, that all of its shares of Helix preferred stock would convert into 1.046 shares of Helix common stock, with such conversion to become effective immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. Each supporting stockholder that beneficially owns certain convertible promissory notes also agreed, under the voting agreements that such convertible promissory notes would convert into shares of Helix common stock prior to the effective time of the merger.
Listing of Forian Common Stock
It is a condition to the completion of the merger that Forian common stock to be issued to Helix stockholders and members of MOR be approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance.
Certain Governance Matters Following the Merger (page 127)
Immediately after consummation of the merger, Forian’s board of directors will consist of eleven directors, including Martin Wygod, Max Wygod (Chairman), Adam Dublin and Dan Barton of MOR, Scott Ogur of Helix, Stanley Totman, Mark Adler, Ian Banwell, Jennifer Hajj, Shahir Kassam-Adams and one additional independent director.
Furthermore, immediately after consummation of the merger, Dan Barton, Chief Executive Officer of MOR, will be Chief Executive Officer of Forian, Clifford Farren, Chief Financial Officer of MOR, will be Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of Forian, and Adam Dublin, co-founder of MOR, will be Chief Strategy Officer of Forian.
Appraisal Rights (page 66)
Helix stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the merger under Section 262 of DGCL, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix D, and the section titled “APPRAISAL RIGHTS OF HELIX STOCKHOLDERS” in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Comparison of Stockholders’ Rights (page 164)
Upon completion of the merger, Helix stockholders will become stockholders of Forian and their rights will be governed by Delaware law and the governing corporate documents of Forian in effect at the effective time. Helix stockholders will have different rights once they become Forian stockholders due to differences between the governing corporate documents of each of the entities.
Upon completion of the contribution, members of MOR will become stockholders of Forian and their rights will be governed by Delaware law and the governing corporate documents of Forian in effect at the effective time. Members of MOR will have different rights once they become Forian stockholders due to differences between the governing corporate documents of each of the entities.
These differences are described in detail in the section entitled “Comparison of Rights of Stockholders” beginning on page 164.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed under the caption entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” Helix stockholders should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding whether to vote for approval of the merger proposal. Please see the sections entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 181.
Risks Related to the Business Combination
MOR members and Helix stockholders cannot be sure of the value of the transaction consideration they will receive.
MOR members and Helix stockholders will receive a fixed number of shares of Forian common stock in the MOR contribution and the Helix merger, respectively, rather than a number of shares of Forian common stock with a particular fixed market value. The market values of interests in MOR and Helix common stock at the effective time may vary significantly from their prices on the date hereof or the date on which MOR members agree to the contribution transaction and Helix stockholders vote on the merger proposal, respectively. Because the respective MOR and Helix exchange ratios are fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the market price of Helix common stock, the market value of the Forian common stock issued in the MOR contribution or the Helix merger, as applicable, and the MOR interests and Helix common stock surrendered in the MOR contribution and the Helix merger, respectively, may be higher or lower than the market values of these securities on earlier dates. All of the consideration to be received by MOR members and Helix stockholders will be Forian common stock (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares received by Helix stockholders). At the time of the MOR contribution and the Helix special meeting, MOR members and Helix stockholders will not know or be able to determine the value of the Forian common stock they may receive upon completion of the transactions. Changes in the value of MOR interests or the market price of Helix common stock may result from a variety of factors that are beyond the control of MOR or Helix, including changes in their respective businesses, operations and prospects, regulatory considerations, governmental actions, and legal proceedings and other developments. Market assessments of the benefits of the business combination, the likelihood that the business combination will be completed and general and industry-specific market and economic conditions may also have an effect on the value of the MOR interests and the market price of Helix common stock. Changes in the value of the MOR interests and in the market prices of Helix common stock may also be caused by developments affecting industry-specific and general economic and market conditions and may have an adverse effect prior to the consummation of the business combination.
Neither MOR nor Helix is permitted to terminate their respective agreements solely because of changes in the value of either party’s securities. In addition, the values of the MOR interests and Helix common stock may vary significantly until the contribution and merger are completed of the transactions. You are urged to obtain up-to-date market prices for Helix common stock. There is no assurance that the business combination will be completed, that there will not be a delay in the completion of the business combination, or that all or any of the anticipated benefits of the business combination will be obtained.
The market price for Forian common stock may be affected by factors different from those that historically have affected the business of MOR and Helix.
Upon completion of the business combination, holders of interests in MOR and shares of Helix common stock will become holders of shares of Forian common stock. MOR and Helix each have businesses that differ from each other. Accordingly, the results of operations of Forian will be affected by some factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of each of MOR and Helix.
Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or that cannot be met.
Consummation of the merger is conditioned upon, among other things, certain regulatory approvals of the transfer of certain interests of Helix to a third party. A delay in the completion of the merger may reduce the anticipated benefits of the merger, which could also have a material adverse effect on the combined company’s business and cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

MOR or Helix may waive one or more of the closing conditions applicable to the MOR contribution or the Helix merger.
MOR or Helix may determine to waive, in whole or in part, one or more of the conditions to its obligations to consummate the business combination. MOR or Helix currently expect to evaluate the materiality of any waiver and its effect on MOR members or Helix stockholders, as applicable, in light of the facts and circumstances at the time.
The merger agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the business combination may not be completed.
The completion of the business combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions. Those conditions include: (i) the adoption of the merger agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of Helix common stock entitled to vote thereon; (ii) obtaining of required governmental approvals and the absence of certain governmental restraints or prohibitions preventing completion of the Helix merger; (iv) the effectiveness of the registration statement and the absence of any stop order or proceedings by the SEC; (v) the approval of the shares of Forian common stock to be issued to MOR members and Helix stockholders for listing on Nasdaq; (vi) the truth and correctness of the representations and warranties made by both parties (generally subject to certain “materiality” and “material adverse effect” qualifiers) in the merger agreement; (vii) the performance of or compliance with, by MOR and Helix, their respective obligations, covenants and agreements under the merger agreement in all material respects; and (viii) the completion of the MOR contribution and this offering.
These conditions to the closing may not be fulfilled and, accordingly, the business combination may not be completed. In addition, if the Helix merger is not completed by a “drop-dead date” as set forth in the merger agreement, either MOR or Helix may choose not to proceed with the Helix merger, and the parties can mutually decide to terminate the merger agreement at any time prior to the consummation of the Helix merger. In addition, MOR or Helix may elect to terminate the merger agreement in certain other circumstances. If the merger agreement is terminated, MOR and Helix may incur substantial fees in connection with termination of the merger agreement and will not recognize the anticipated benefits of the merger.
Termination of the merger agreement could negatively impact MOR and/or Helix.
If the merger agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and the merger is not consummated, the ongoing businesses of MOR and Helix may be adversely affected by a variety of factors. MOR’s and Helix’s respective businesses may have been or be adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities during the pendency of the business combination, by the failure to obtain the anticipated benefits of completing the business combination, by payment of certain costs relating to the business combination, and by the focus of their respective managements on the business combination for an extended period of time rather than on business opportunities or other issues. The market price of Helix common stock might decline as a result of any such failures to the extent that the current market prices reflect a market assumption that the merger will be completed.
In addition, if the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, MOR may be required to pay a termination fee to Helix or Helix may be required to pay a termination fee to MOR, in each case depending on the circumstances surrounding the termination. MOR or Helix may also be negatively impacted if the merger agreement is terminated and their respective boards seek but are unable to find another business combination or strategic transaction offering equivalent or more attractive consideration than the consideration to be provided in the merger, or if the respective companies become subject to litigation related to entering into or failing to consummate the merger, including direct actions by MOR members or Helix stockholders, as applicable, against the directors and/or officers of MOR or Helix for breaches of fiduciary duty, or derivative actions brought by MOR or Helix stockholders in the name of the respective companies.
MOR and Helix will be subject to business uncertainties while the business combination is pending.
Uncertainty about the completion or effect of the transactions may affect the relationship between MOR and Helix and their respective suppliers, customers, distributors, licensors and licensees and may have an adverse effect on MOR and/or Helix, and consequently on the combined company. These uncertainties may cause suppliers, customers, distributors, licensors and others that deal with the parties to seek to change existing
19

TABLE OF CONTENTS

business relationships with MOR or Helix, as applicable, and to delay or defer decisions concerning MOR or Helix. Changes to existing business relationships, including termination or modification, could negatively affect each of MOR’s and Helix’s revenues, earnings and cash flow, as well as the market price of their respective common stock.
MOR and Helix will be subject to certain contractual restrictions while the business combination is pending.
The merger agreement restricts each of MOR and Helix, without the consent of the other party, from making certain acquisitions and divestitures, entering into certain contracts, incurring certain indebtedness and expenditures, paying dividends in excess of certain thresholds, repurchasing or issuing securities outside of existing convertible securities, share repurchase and equity award programs, and taking other specified actions until the earlier of the completion of the business combination or the termination of the merger agreement. These restrictions may prevent MOR and/or Helix from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the business combination and could have the effect of delaying or preventing other strategic transactions. Adverse effects arising from the pendency of the merger could be exacerbated by any delays in consummation of the merger or the termination of the merger agreement.
Third parties may terminate or alter existing contracts or relationships with MOR or Helix.
Each of MOR and Helix has contracts with customers, suppliers, vendors, distributors, landlords, licensors, joint venture partners, and other business partners which may require MOR or Helix, as applicable, to obtain consent from these other parties in connection with the business combination. If these consents cannot be obtained, the counterparties to these contracts and other third parties with which MOR and/or Helix currently have relationships may have the ability to terminate, reduce the scope of or otherwise materially adversely alter their relationships with either or both of the parties in anticipation of the business combination, or with the combined company following the contribution and the merger. The pursuit of such rights may result in MOR, Helix or the combined company suffering a loss of potential future revenue or incurring liabilities in connection with a breach of such agreements and may lose rights that are material to its business. Any such disruptions could limit the combined company’s ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the transactions. The adverse effect of such disruptions could also be exacerbated by a delay in the completion of the transactions or the termination of the contribution agreement or the merger agreement.
MOR and Helix will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the transactions.
MOR and Helix have incurred and expect to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with the transactions. These costs and expenses include financial advisory, legal, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees and expenses, reorganization and restructuring costs, severance/employee benefit-related expenses, public company filing fees and other regulatory expenses, printing expenses and other related charges. Some of these costs are payable by MOR and Helix regardless of whether the transactions are completed.
The combined company will also incur transaction expenses and debt restructuring costs in connection with the merger, which we refer to as transaction costs. There are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated in connection with the transactions and the integration of the two companies’ businesses. Although MOR and Helix expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, strategic benefits, additional income as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, may offset incremental transaction, merger-related and restructuring costs over time, any net benefit may not be achieved in the near term or at all. Many of these transaction costs will be borne by MOR or Helix even if the transactions are not completed. The combined company will also incur restructuring and integration costs in connection with the transactions. The costs related to restructuring and integration will be expensed as a cost of the ongoing results of operations of either MOR, Helix or the combined company. While both MOR and Helix have assumed that certain expenses would be incurred in connection with the transactions, there are many factors beyond their control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the integration and implementation expenses.
Helix directors and executive officers may have interests in the Helix merger different from the interests of Helix stockholders generally.
Certain of the directors and executive officers of each of MOR and Helix negotiated the terms of the merger agreement, the Helix board recommended that Helix stockholders vote in favor of the Helix merger proposal and the Helix merger-related compensation proposal. These directors and executive officers may have interests in the
20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Helix merger that are different from, or in addition to, or in conflict with, those of Helix stockholders, generally. These interests include the continued employment of certain executive officers of Helix by the combined company, the continued positions of a number of directors of MOR and Helix as directors of Forian, the treatment in the Helix merger of stock options and restricted stock units held by Helix directors and executive officers, the effect of the Helix merger on any employment, severance or change in control arrangements entered into with Helix directors and executive officers, and the indemnification of former Helix directors and officers by Forian.
Helix stockholders should be aware of these interests when they consider recommendations of the Helix board that they vote in favor of the Helix merger proposal and Helix merger-related compensation proposal, as applicable. The Helix board was aware of these interests when it determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, the Helix stockholders and recommended that the Helix stockholders adopt the merger agreement.
The directors and management of Forian will own a significant percentage of Forian common stock and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval.
Upon the closing of the merger, the directors and officers of Forian, as a group will beneficially own approximately 34% of the outstanding voting stock of Forian. These stockholders may be able to determine all matters requiring stockholder approval. For example, these stockholders may be able to control elections of directors, amendments of Forian organizational documents or approval of any merger, sale of assets or other major corporate transaction. This may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for Forian common stock that you may feel are in your best interest as one of Forian’s stockholders. The interests of this group of stockholders may not always coincide with your interests or the interests of other stockholders and they may act in a manner that advances their best interests and not necessarily those of other stockholders, including seeking a premium value for their common stock, and might affect the prevailing market price for our common stock.
Existing MOR members and Helix stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest in, and will exercise less influence over management of, Forian after the transactions than they did with respect to MOR and Helix prior to the transactions.
MOR members and Helix stockholders currently have the right to vote in the election of the MOR board and the Helix board, respectively, and on other matters affecting the respective companies. Upon the completion of the transactions, each MOR stockholder and each Helix stockholder who receives shares of Forian common stock in the transactions will become a stockholder of Forian with a percentage ownership of, and voting interest in, Forian that is smaller than such stockholder’s percentage ownership of, and voting interest in, MOR or Helix, as applicable, immediately prior to the transactions. Immediately following the completion of the transactions, the former MOR members, as a group, will own 72% of Forian and the former Helix stockholders, as a group, will own 28% of Forian. In particular, Helix stockholders, as a group, will have less than a majority of the ownership and voting power of Forian and, therefore, will be able to exercise less collective influence over the management and policies of Forian than they currently exercise over the management and policies of MOR. Accordingly, MOR members and Helix stockholders will have less influence on the management and policies of the combined company than they now have on the management and policies of MOR or Helix, as applicable.
Shares of Forian common stock to be received by MOR members in the MOR contribution and Helix stockholders in the Helix merger will have rights different from the membership interests of MOR and Helix common stock, respectively.
Upon completion of the transactions, MOR members and Helix stockholders will no longer be members or stockholders of MOR and/or Helix, as applicable, but will instead be stockholders of Forian. The rights of former MOR members and Helix stockholders who become Forian stockholders will be governed by the Forian charter and the Forian bylaws, each of which will be adopted, prior to the effective time. The rights associated with shares of Forian common stock are different from the rights associated with shares of MOR membership interests or Helix common stock.
Declaration, payment and amounts of dividends, if any, to holders of shares of Forian common stock will be uncertain.
The amounts of dividends, if any, that are declared or paid to Forian stockholders cannot yet be determined and depends on a number of factors. The Forian board will have sole discretion to determine whether any
21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

dividends will be declared, when dividends, if any, are declared, and the amounts of such dividends. We expect that such determination would be based on a number of considerations, including Forian’s results of operations and capital management plans and the market price of Forian common stock, the combined company’s access to capital markets, as well as industry practice and other factors deemed relevant by the Forian board. In addition, Forian’s ability to pay dividends and the amounts of any dividends ultimately paid in respect of the Forian common stock will, in each case, be subject to Forian receiving funds, directly or indirectly, from its operating subsidiaries, including MOR and Helix. Further, the ability of MOR and Helix to make distributions to Forian will depend on satisfying Delaware law with respect to such distributions, and the ability of MOR and Helix to receive distributions from their own respective subsidiaries will continue to depend on the laws of the jurisdictions in which such subsidiaries are organized. There can be no guarantee that Forian stockholders will receive or be entitled to dividends commensurate with the historical dividends of MOR or Helix.
The market price of the combined company’s common stock may be volatile, and holders of the combined company’s common stock could lose a significant portion of their investment due to drops in the market price of the combined company’s common stock following completion of the transactions.
The market price of the combined company’s common stock may be volatile, and following completion of the merger stockholders may not be able to resell their Forian common stock at or above the price at which they are deemed to have acquired the Forian common stock pursuant to the merger agreement or otherwise due to fluctuations in its market price, including changes in price caused by factors unrelated to the combined company’s operating performance or prospects.
Specific factors that may have a significant effect on the market price for the combined company’s common stock include, among others, the following:
changes in stock market analyst recommendations or earnings estimates regarding the combined company’s common stock, other companies comparable to it or companies in the industries they serve;
actual or anticipated fluctuations in the combined company’s operating results or future prospects;
reaction to public announcements by the combined company;
strategic actions taken by the combined company or its competitors, such as any contemplated business separation, acquisitions or restructurings;
failure of the combined company to achieve the perceived benefits of the transactions, including financial results and anticipated synergies, as rapidly as or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts;
adverse conditions in the financial market or general U.S. or international economic conditions, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism and responses to such events; and
sales of common stock by the combined company, members of its management team or significant stockholders.
The effects of health epidemics, including the recent global coronavirus pandemic, have led to periods of significant volatility in various markets and industries and could harm the business and results of operations for each of MOR and Helix and the combined company following the completion of the merger.
The business and results of operations for each of MOR, Helix and the combined company could be adversely affected by health epidemics, including the recent coronavirus pandemic. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, causing a disease referred to as COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, coronavirus has spread to many countries worldwide, including the United States.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus to be a pandemic. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on the businesses of MOR, Helix and the combined company, and there is no guarantee that efforts by MOR, Helix and Forian to address the adverse impacts of the coronavirus will be effective. The impact to date has included periods of significant volatility in various markets and industries. This volatility could have an adverse impact on MOR’s and Helix’s customers and on the companies’ business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular, automotive and consumer electronics industries, as well as other industries that include
22

TABLE OF CONTENTS

customers of MOR and Helix, have and may continue to be impacted by the coronavirus outbreak and/or other events beyond the control of MOR, Helix or the combined company, and further volatility could have an additional negative impact on these industries, customers, MOR, Helix, and the combined company.
In addition, recent actions by United States federal, state and foreign governments to address the coronavirus outbreak, including intermittent and non-uniform (from city to city and state to state) travel bans and school, business and entertainment venue closures, may also have a significant adverse effect on the markets in which MOR and Helix conduct their businesses. The extent of impacts resulting from the coronavirus outbreak and other events beyond the control of MOR, Helix and the combined company will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus outbreak and actions taken to contain the coronavirus or its impact, among others.
In addition, the coronavirus outbreak could result in business disruption to MOR or Helix, and if either company is unable to recover from such a business disruption on a timely basis, the merger and the combined company’s business and financial conditions and results of operations following the completion of the merger would be adversely affected. The merger and efforts to integrate the businesses of MOR and Helix, and any contemplated business separation transaction, may also be delayed and adversely affected by the coronavirus outbreak, and become more costly. Each of MOR, Helix and the combined company may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions, which could adversely affect their financial condition and results of operations.
There can be no assurance that the global coronavirus pandemic will not have a material and adverse impact on the business, operating results and financial condition of MOR and Helix and, in the future, the combined company. Even after the coronavirus outbreak has subsided, MOR and Helix and, in the future, the combined company may continue to experience material and adverse impact on their business, operating results and financial condition as a result of its global economic impact, including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future. The ultimate impact of the coronavirus pandemic or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. MOR and Helix do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our applicable business, operations or the global economy as a whole.
Risks Related to the Combined Company
Combining the businesses of MOR and Helix may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected, which may adversely affect the combined company’s results and negatively affect the value of Forian common stock following the transactions.
MOR and Helix have entered into their respective agreements because each believes that the transactions will be beneficial to its respective company and stockholders, as applicable, and that combining the businesses of MOR and Helix will produce benefits and cost savings. MOR and Helix have historically operated as independent companies and will continue to do so until the completion of the transactions. Following the completion of the transactions, Forian’s management will need to integrate MOR’s and Helix’s respective business. The combination of two independent businesses is a complex, costly and time-consuming process and the management of the combined company may face significant challenges in implementing such integration, many of which may be beyond the control of management, including, without limitation:
latent impacts resulting from the diversion of MOR’s and Helix’s respective management team’s attention from ongoing business concerns as a result of the devotion of management’s attention to the transactions and performance shortfalls at one or both of the companies;
difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects;
the possibility of faulty assumptions underlying expectations regarding the integration process, including with respect to the intended tax efficient transactions;
unanticipated issues in integrating information technology, communications programs, financial procedures and operations, and other systems, procedures and policies;
difficulties in managing a larger combined company, addressing differences in business culture and retaining key personnel;
23

TABLE OF CONTENTS

unanticipated changes in applicable laws and regulations;
managing tax costs or inefficiencies associated with integrating the operations of the combined company and any contemplated tax efficient separation transaction;
coordinating geographically separate organizations; and
unforeseen expenses or delays associated with the transactions.
Some of these factors will be outside of the control of MOR and Helix and any one of them could result in increased costs and diversion of management’s time and energy, as well as decreases in the amount of expected revenue which could materially impact our business, financial conditions and results of operations. The integration process and other disruptions resulting from the transactions may also adversely affect the combined company’s relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, distributors, licensors and others with whom MOR and Helix have business or other dealings, and difficulties in integrating the businesses or regulatory functions of MOR and Helix could harm the reputation of the combined company.
Forian has no operating or financial history. Therefore, the actual financial condition and results of operations of Forian after the merger may differ materially.
Forian has been recently incorporated in connection with the proposed transactions and has no operating history or revenues. This proxy statement/prospectus includes unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for Forian, which we refer to as the pro forma financial statements, that combine the audited historical consolidated financial statements of MOR from inception (May 6, 2020) to December 31, 2019, with the audited historical consolidated financial statements of Helix for the year ended December 31, 2019, in each case, adjusted to give effect to the transactions, and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019, combines the MOR and Helix audited consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, giving effect to the transactions as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet of Forian as of September 30, 2020, combines the unaudited historical balance sheets of MOR and Helix as of September 30, 2020, and gives pro forma effect to the transactions as if they had been consummated on September 30, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, combines the MOR and Helix unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, giving effect to the transactions as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2019.
The pro forma financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only, are based on certain assumptions, address a hypothetical situation and reflect limited historical financial data. The pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects adjustments that were developed using preliminary estimates based on available information and various assumptions, and may be revised as additional information becomes available. The pro forma financial statements do not include, among other things, estimated cost or growth synergies, adjustments related to restructuring or integration activities, future acquisitions or disposals not yet known or probable, including those that may be required by regulatory or governmental authorities in connection with the merger, or impacts of merger related change in control provisions that are currently not factually supportable and/or probable of occurring. Therefore, the pro forma financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s actual financial condition or results of operations would have been had the transactions been completed on the dates indicated. The final acquisition accounting adjustments may differ materially from the pro forma adjustments reflected in this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, Forian’s business, assets, results of operations and financial condition may differ significantly from those indicated by the pro forma financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Whether or not the transactions are completed, the announcement and pendency of the transactions will divert significant management resources to complete the transactions, which could have an adverse effect on their respective businesses, financial results, and/or market prices.
Whether or not the transactions are completed, the announcement and pendency of the transactions could cause disruptions in the businesses of MOR and Helix by directing the attention of management of each of MOR and Helix toward the completion of the transactions. MOR and Helix have each diverted significant management
24

TABLE OF CONTENTS

resources in an effort to complete the transactions and are each subject to restrictions on the conduct of their respective businesses. If the efforts and actions required of MOR and Helix in order to consummate the transactions are more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected, such efforts and actions could result in the additional diversion of each company’s management’s attention and resources or the disruption or interruption of, or the loss of momentum in, each company’s ongoing businesses, which could adversely affect the business and financial results of MOR or Helix, as applicable. If the transactions are not completed, MOR and Helix will have incurred significant costs, including the diversion of management resources, for which they will have received little or no benefit.
Forian’s future results will suffer if it does not effectively manage its expanded operations following the transactions.
Following the transactions, the size of the business of Forian will increase significantly beyond the current size of either MOR or Helix’s current businesses. Forian’s future success depends, in part, upon its ability to manage this expanded business, which may pose substantial challenges for management, including challenges related to the management and monitoring of new operations and associated increased costs and complexity. There can be no assurance that the combined company will be successful or that it will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue enhancements and other benefits currently anticipated from the transactions.
Forian will incur significant costs in connection with the integration of the combined company.
There are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated in connection with the transactions. While both MOR and Helix have assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred in connection with the transactions, there are many factors beyond their control that could affect the total amount of, or the timing of, anticipated expenses with respect to the integration and implementation of the combined businesses.
There may also be additional unanticipated significant costs in connection with the transactions that the combined company may not recoup. These costs and expenses could reduce the benefits and additional income Forian expects to achieve from the transactions. Although Forian expects that these benefits will offset the transaction expenses and implementation costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term or at all.
Changes in tax laws or regulations that are applied adversely to us or our customers may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, financial condition or results of operations.
New income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be enacted at any time, which could adversely affect our business operations and financial performance. Further, existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us. For example, legislation enacted in 2017, informally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted many significant changes to the U.S. tax laws. Future guidance from the IRS and other tax authorities with respect to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may affect us, and certain aspects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act could be repealed or modified in future legislation. In addition, it is uncertain if and to what extent various states will conform to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act or any newly enacted federal tax legislation. Changes in corporate tax rates, the realization of net deferred tax assets relating to our operations, the taxation of foreign earnings, and the deductibility of expenses under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act or future reform legislation could have a material impact on the value of our deferred tax assets, could result in significant one-time charges, and could increase our future U.S. tax expense.
The combined company may be exposed to increased litigation, which could have an adverse effect on the combined company’s business and operations.
The combined company may be exposed to increased litigation from stockholders, customers, suppliers, consumers and other third parties due to the combination of MOR’s business and Helix’s business following the merger. Such litigation may have an adverse impact on the combined company’s business and results of operations or may cause disruptions to the combined company’s operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The certificate of incorporation of Forian contains forum limitations for certain disputes between Forian and its stockholders that could limit the ability of stockholders to bring claims against Forian or its directors, officers and employees in jurisdictions preferred by stockholders.
The Forian charter provides that, unless Forian consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative lawsuit brought on behalf of Forian, (ii) any lawsuit against current or former directors, officers, employees, stockholders or agents of Forian asserting a breach of a duty (including any fiduciary duty) owed by any such current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of Forian to Forian or Forian’s stockholders, (iii) any lawsuit asserting a claim against Forian or any current or former director, officer, employee, stockholder or agent of Forian arising out of or relating to any provision of the DGCL, the Forian charter or the Forian bylaws (each, as in effect from time to time), or (iv) any lawsuit asserting a claim against Forian or any current or former director, officer, employee, stockholder or agent of Forian governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware. The Forian charter also provides that, unless Forian consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. The foregoing forum provisions may prevent or limit a stockholder’s ability to file a lawsuit in a judicial forum that it prefers for disputes with Forian or its directors, officers, employees, stockholders or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits, make them more difficult or expensive to pursue, and result in outcomes that are less favorable to such stockholders than outcomes that may have been attainable in other jurisdictions.
In addition, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing forum provisions in the charter, courts may find the foregoing forum provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable in certain cases that the foregoing forum provisions purport to address, including claims brought under the Securities Act. If this were to occur in any particular lawsuit, Forian may incur additional costs associated with resolving such lawsuit in other jurisdictions or resolving lawsuits involving similar claims in multiple jurisdictions, all of which could harm its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Risks Relating to Helix
As a company whose clients operate in the cannabis industry, Helix faces many unique and evolving risks.
Helix currently licenses its technology to government and private clients with respect to their tracking, monitoring and compliance needs as they operate in a growing cannabis industry. Any risks related to the cannabis industry that may adversely affect clients and potential clients of Helix may, in turn, adversely affect demand for our products. Marijuana is a Schedule-I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act and is illegal under federal law. It remains illegal under United States federal law to grow, cultivate, sell or possess marijuana for any purpose or to assist or conspire with those who do so. Additionally, 21 U.S.C. 856 makes it illegal to “knowingly open, lease, rent, use, or maintain any place, whether permanently or temporarily, for the purpose of manufacturing, distributing, or using any controlled substance.” Even in those states in which the use of marijuana has been authorized, its use remains a violation of federal law. Since federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana is not preempted by state laws that legalize its use, strict enforcement of federal law regarding marijuana would likely result in our clients’ inability to proceed with their operations, which would adversely affect demands for Helix products.
Helix has a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow its business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations.
Helix has a limited operating history. Its operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. Helix has not generated positive earnings and there can be no assurance that it will achieve profitable operations. If Helix’s business plan is not successful, and it is not able to operate profitably, that may result in investors losing some or all of their investment in Forian.
We will need additional capital to fund Helix’s operations.
Forian and/or Helix will require additional capital to fund Helix’s current operations and anticipated expansion of its business (including as a result of the acquisition of Helix) and to pursue targeted revenue opportunities. There is no assurance that additional capital to fund our operations can be raised. Additional
26

TABLE OF CONTENTS

capital may not be available, the terms of any such capital raising may be uncertain, and the terms of any prospective equity capital may not be acceptable. In addition, any future sale of equity securities would dilute the ownership and control of the then-current stockholders and could be at prices substantially below prices at which Helix shares currently trade or Forian shares, on a post-merger basis, may trade. The inability to raise capital could require Forian and/or Helix to significantly curtail or terminate operations.
If we do not successfully develop and deploy new technologies to address the needs of our customers, including those of Helix, our business and results of operations could suffer.
Helix’s success has been based on our ability to design software and products that enable the integration of data into a common operating environment to facilitate advanced data analysis, knowledge management, and collaboration. Helix has spent substantial amounts of time and money researching and developing new technologies and enhanced versions of existing features to meet customers’ and potential customers’ rapidly evolving needs. There is no assurance that enhancements to the Helix platforms or new product features or capabilities will be compelling to customers or gain market acceptance. If research and development investments do not accurately anticipate customer demand or if we fail to develop our platforms in a manner that satisfies customer preferences in a timely and cost-effective manner, we may fail to retain existing Helix customers or increase demand for our platforms.
The introduction of new products and services by competitors or the development of entirely new technologies to replace existing offerings could make Helix platforms obsolete or adversely affect its (and, accordingly Forian’s) business, financial condition, and results of operations. We may experience difficulties with software development, design, or marketing that delay or prevent our development, introduction, or implementation of new platforms, features, or capabilities. Helix has in the past experienced delays in its internally planned release dates of new features and capabilities, and there can be no assurance that new platforms, features, or capabilities will be released according to schedule. Any delays could result in adverse publicity, loss of revenue or market acceptance, or claims by customers, any of which could harm our business. Moreover, the design and development of new platforms or new features and capabilities to existing platforms may require substantial investment, and there is no assurance that such investments will be successful. If customers do not widely adopt our new platforms, experiences, features, and capabilities, we may not be able to realize a return on our investment and Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.
New and existing platforms and changes to existing platforms could fail to attain sufficient market acceptance for many reasons, including:
The failure to predict market demand accurately in terms of product functionality and to supply offerings that meet this demand in a timely fashion;
Product defects, errors, or failures or our inability to satisfy customer service level requirements;
Negative publicity or negative private statements about the security, performance, or effectiveness of our platforms or product enhancements;
Delays in releasing to the market new offerings or enhancements to existing offerings;
Introduction or anticipated introduction of competing platforms or functionalities by competitors;
Inability of our platforms or product enhancements to scale and perform to meet customer demands;
Receiving qualified or adverse opinions in connection with security or penetration testing, certifications or audits, such as those related to IT controls and security standards and frameworks or compliance;
Reluctance of customers to purchase proprietary software products; and
Reluctance of customers to purchase products incorporating open source software.
If we are not able to continue to identify challenges faced by our customers and develop, license, or acquire new features and capabilities to our platforms in a timely and cost-effective manner, or if such enhancements do not achieve market acceptance, Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may suffer and anticipated revenue growth may not be achieved.
27

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Because Helix derives, and expects to continue to derive, substantially all of its revenue from customers purchasing the Helix Biotrack, Helix Exchange and Helix Cannalytics platforms, market acceptance of these platforms, and any enhancements or changes thereto, is critical to Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) success.
Real or perceived errors, failures, defects or bugs in our platforms could adversely affect our results of operations and growth prospects.
Because Helix offers very complex platforms, undetected errors, defects, failures or bugs may occur, especially when platforms or capabilities are first introduced or when new versions or other product or infrastructure updates are released. These platforms are often installed and used in large-scale computing environments with different operating systems, software products and equipment, and data source and network configurations, which may cause errors or failures in our platforms or may expose undetected errors, failures, or bugs in our platforms. Despite testing, errors, failures, or bugs may not be found in new software or releases until after commencement of commercial shipments. Errors can also delay the development or release of new platforms or capabilities or new versions of platforms, adversely affect Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) reputation and our customers’ willingness to buy Helix’s platforms, and adversely affect market acceptance or perception of these platforms. Many customers use these platforms in applications that are critical to their businesses or missions and may have a lower risk tolerance to defects in Helix’s platforms than to defects in other, less critical, software products. Any errors or delays in releasing new software or new versions of platforms or allegations of unsatisfactory performance or errors, defects or failures in released software could cause Helix (and, accordingly Forian) to lose revenue or market share, increase its service costs, result in substantial costs in redesigning the software, result in the loss of significant customers, subject Helix (and, accordingly Forian) to liability for damages and divert company resources from other tasks, any one of which could materially and adversely affect Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, Helix’s platforms could be perceived to be ineffective for a variety of reasons outside of its control. Hackers or other malicious parties could circumvent our or customers’ security measures, and customers may misuse our platforms resulting in a security breach or perceived product failure.
Real or perceived errors, failures, or bugs in Helix platforms and services, or dissatisfaction with those services or outcomes, could result in customer terminations and/or claims by customers for losses sustained by them. In such an event, Helix may be required, or may choose, for customer relations or other reasons, to expend additional resources in order to help correct any such errors, failures, or bugs.
We depend on computing infrastructure operated by third parties to support some of Helix’s solutions and customers, and any errors, disruption, performance problems, or failure in any of those operational infrastructures could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We rely on the technology, infrastructure, and software applications, of certain third parties in order to host or operate some of certain key platform features or functions of Helix’s business. Additionally, Helix relies on computer hardware and cloud capabilities purchased in order to deliver its solutions and services. Neither Helix nor, following the merger, Forian, has control over the operations of the facilities of the third parties that are use. If any of these third-party services experience errors, disruptions, security issues, or other performance deficiencies, if they are updated such that Helix’s solutions become incompatible, if these services, software, or hardware fail or become unavailable due to extended outages, interruptions, defects, or otherwise, or if they are no longer available on commercially reasonable terms or prices (or at all), these issues could result in errors or defects in our solutions, cause Helix’s solutions to fail, Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) revenue and margins could decline, or reputation and brand could be damaged, Helix (and, accordingly Forian) could be exposed to legal or contractual liability, expenses could increase, the ability to manage our operations could be interrupted, and our processes for managing sales and servicing customers could be impaired until equivalent services or technology, if available, are identified, procured, and implemented, all of which may take significant time and resources, increase costs, and could adversely affect Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) business. Many of these third-party providers attempt to impose limitations on their liability for such errors, disruptions, defects, performance deficiencies, or failures, and if enforceable, Helix (and, accordingly Forian) may have additional liability to customers or third-party providers.
Helix has experienced, and may in the future experience, disruptions, failures, data loss, outages, and other performance problems with its infrastructure and cloud-based offerings due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, introductions of new functionality, human or software errors, employee misconduct,
28

TABLE OF CONTENTS

capacity constraints, denial of service attacks, phishing attacks, computer viruses, malicious or destructive code, or other security-related incidents, and its disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient for all situations. If such disruptions, failures, data loss, outages, or other performance problems are encountered, Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Helix’s systems and the third-party systems upon which it and its customers rely are also vulnerable to damage or interruption from catastrophic occurrences such as earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures, cybersecurity threats, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical and similar events, or acts of misconduct. Despite any precautions that might be taken, the occurrence of a catastrophic disaster or other unanticipated problems at our or our third-party vendors’ hosting facilities, or within our systems or the systems of third parties upon which Helix relies, could result in interruptions, performance problems, or failure of our infrastructure, technology, or solutions, which may adversely impact Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) business. In addition, Helix’s ability to conduct normal business operations could be severely affected. In the event of significant physical damage to one of these facilities, it may take a significant period of time to achieve full resumption of services, and any disaster recovery planning may not account for all eventualities. In addition, any negative publicity arising from these disruptions could harm Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) reputation and brand and adversely affect Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) business.
Furthermore, Helix’s solutions are in many cases important or essential to customers’ operations, including their oversight and compliance programs. Any interruption in service, whether as a result of an internal or third-party issue, could damage Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) brand and reputation, cause customers to terminate or not renew their contracts or decrease use of our solutions and services, require us to indemnify our customers against certain losses, result in our issuing credit or paying penalties or fines, subject us to other losses or liabilities, cause our solutions to be perceived as unreliable or unsecure, and prevent us from gaining new or additional business from current or future customers, any of which could harm Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) business, financial condition, and results of operations.
A failure to maintain relationships with third-party providers (or obtain adequate replacements), and to receive services from such providers that do not contain any material errors or defects, could adversely affect Helix’s ability to deliver effective products and solutions to its customers and adversely affect Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) business and results of operations.
If any of the systems of any third parties upon which we rely, our customers’ cloud or on-premises environments, or our internal systems, are breached or if unauthorized access to customer or third-party data is otherwise obtained, public perception of our platforms and services may be harmed, and we may lose business and incur losses or liabilities.
Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) success depends in part on its ability to provide effective data security protection in connection with Helix’s platforms and services, and we rely on information technology networks and systems to securely store, transmit, index, and otherwise process electronic information. Because Helix’s platforms and services are used to store, transmit, index, or otherwise process and analyze large data sets that often contain proprietary, confidential, and/or sensitive information (including in some instances personal or identifying information and personal health information), we could be perceived as an attractive target for attacks by computer hackers or others seeking unauthorized access, and we face threats of unintended exposure, exfiltration, alteration, deletion, or loss of data. Additionally, because many of our customers use Helix’s platforms to store, transmit, and otherwise process proprietary, confidential, or sensitive information, they have a lower risk tolerance for security vulnerabilities in Helix’s platforms and services than for vulnerabilities in other, less critical, software products and services.
Helix, and the third-party vendors upon which it relies, has experienced, and may in the future experience, cybersecurity threats, including threats or attempts to disrupt its information technology infrastructure and unauthorized attempts to gain access to sensitive or confidential information. Its and its third-party vendors’ technology systems may be damaged or compromised by malicious events, such as cyberattacks (including computer viruses, malicious and destructive code, phishing attacks, and denial of service attacks), physical or electronic security breaches, natural disasters, fire, power loss, telecommunications failures, personnel misconduct, and human error. Such attacks or security breaches may be perpetrated by internal bad actors, such as employees or contractors, or by third parties (including traditional computer hackers, persons involved with organized crime, or foreign state or foreign state-supported actors). Cybersecurity threats can employ a wide
29

TABLE OF CONTENTS

variety of methods and techniques, which may include the use of social engineering techniques, are constantly evolving, and have become increasingly complex and sophisticated; all of which increase the difficulty of detecting and successfully defending against them. Furthermore, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until after they are launched against a target, Helix and its third-party vendors may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures. Although Helix is continuing to bolster its threat detection and mitigation processes and procedures, there can be no guarantee that future cyberattacks, if successful, will not have a material impact on Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) business or financial results. While there are security measures in place to protect our information and our customers’ information and to prevent data loss and other security breaches, there can be no assurance that in the future we will be able to anticipate or prevent security breaches or unauthorized access of our information technology systems or the information technology systems of the third-party vendors upon which we rely. Despite the implementation of network security measures and internal information security policies, data stored on personnel computer systems is also vulnerable to similar security breaches, unauthorized tampering or human error.
Many governments have enacted laws requiring companies to provide notice of data security incidents involving certain types of data, including personal data. If an actual or perceived breach of security measures, unauthorized access to our system or the systems of the third-party vendors that Helix relies upon, or any other cybersecurity threat occurs, Helix (and, accordingly Forian) may face direct or indirect liability, costs, or damages, contract termination, Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) reputation in the industry and with current and potential customers may be compromised, Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) ability to attract new customers could be negatively affected, and Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Further, unauthorized access to our or our third-party vendors’ information technology systems or data or other security breaches could result in the loss of information; significant remediation costs; litigation, disputes, regulatory action, or investigations that could result in damages, material fines, and penalties; indemnity obligations; interruptions in the operation of our business, including our ability to provide new product features, new platforms, or services to our customers; damage to Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) operation technology networks and information technology systems; and other liabilities. Moreover, our remediation efforts may not be successful. Any or all of these issues, or the perception that any of them have occurred, could negatively affect our ability to attract new customers, cause existing customers to terminate or not renew their agreements, hinder our ability to obtain and maintain required or desirable cybersecurity certifications, and result in reputational damage, any of which could materially adversely affect Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects. There can be no assurance that any limitations of liability provisions in our license arrangements with customers or in our agreements with vendors, partners, or others would be enforceable, applicable, or adequate or would otherwise protect us from any such liabilities or damages with respect to any particular claim.
Our business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. and non-U.S. laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection and security, technology protection, and other matters. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in claims, changes to our business practices, monetary penalties, increased cost of operations, or otherwise harm our business.
We are subject to a variety of local, state, national, and international laws and directives and regulations in the United States and abroad that involve matters central to our business, including privacy and data protection, data security, data storage, retention, transfer and deletion, technology protection, and personal information. Foreign data protection, data security, privacy, and other laws and regulations can impose different obligations or be more restrictive than those in the United States. These U.S. federal and state and foreign laws and regulations, which, depending on the regime, may be enforced by private parties or government entities, are constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change, and they are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. In addition, the application, interpretation, and enforcement of these laws and regulations are often uncertain, and may be interpreted and applied inconsistently from country to country and inconsistently with our current policies and practices. A number of proposals are pending before U.S. federal, state, and foreign legislative and regulatory bodies that could significantly affect our business.
The overarching complexity of privacy and data protection laws and regulations around the world pose a compliance challenge that could manifest in costs, damages, or liability in other forms as a result of failure to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

implement proper programmatic controls, failure to adhere to those controls, or the malicious or inadvertent breach of applicable privacy and data protection requirements by us, our employees, our business partners, or our customers.
In addition to government regulation, self-regulatory standards and other industry standards may legally or contractually apply to us, be argued to apply to us, or we may elect to comply with such standards or to facilitate our customers’ compliance with such standards. Because privacy, data protection, and information security are critical competitive factors in our industry, we may make statements on our website, in marketing materials, or in other settings about our data security measures and our compliance with, or our ability to facilitate our customers’ compliance with, these standards. We also expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws and regulations concerning privacy, data protection, and information security, and we cannot yet determine the impact such future laws, regulations and standards, or amendments to or re-interpretations of existing laws and regulations, industry standards, or other obligations may have on our business. New laws, amendments to or re-interpretations of existing laws and regulations, industry standards, and contractual and other obligations may require us to incur additional costs and restrict our business operations. As these legal regimes relating to privacy, data protection, and information security continue to evolve, they may result in ever-increasing public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions. Furthermore, because the interpretation and application of laws, standards, contractual obligations and other obligations relating to privacy, data protection, and information security are uncertain, these laws, standards, and contractual and other obligations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is, or is alleged to be, inconsistent with our data management practices, our policies or procedures, or the features of our solutions. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits, and other claims, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our solutions, which could have an adverse effect on our business. We may be unable to make such changes and modifications in a commercially reasonable manner or at all, and our ability to fulfill existing obligations, make enhancements, or develop new solutions and features could be limited. Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations, and policies that are applicable to the businesses of our customers may limit the use and adoption of, and reduce the overall demand for, our solutions.
These existing and proposed laws and regulations can be costly to comply with and can make our solutions and services less effective or valuable, delay or impede the development of new products, result in negative publicity, increase our operating costs, require us to modify our data handling practices, limit our operations, impose substantial fines and penalties, require significant management time and attention, or put our data or technology at risk. Any failure or perceived failure by us or our solutions to comply with U.S., or applicable foreign laws, regulations, directives, policies, industry standards, or legal obligations relating to privacy, data protection, or information security, or any security incident that results in loss of or the unauthorized access to, or acquisition, use, release, or transfer of, personal information, personal data, or other customer or sensitive data sensitive data or information may result in governmental investigations, inquiries, enforcement actions and prosecutions, private claims and litigation, indemnification or other contractual obligations, other remedies, including fines or demands that we modify or cease existing business practices, or adverse publicity, and related costs and liabilities, which could significantly and adversely affect Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) business and results of operations.
Our failure to manage growth effectively could impair our business.
Our business strategy envisions a period of rapid growth that may put a strain on our administrative and operational resources, and funding requirements. Our ability to effectively manage growth will require us to continue to expand the capabilities of our operational and management systems and to attract, train, manage and retain qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to do so, particularly if losses continue and we are unable to obtain sufficient financing. If we are unable to successfully manage growth, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.
If we lose key personnel, or if their reputations are damaged, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected, and proprietary information of our company could be shared with our competitors.
We depend on the ability and experience of a number of our key personnel who have substantial experience with Helix’s operations and the vertical markets in which we offer our products and services. Many of our key personnel were recruited by us specifically due to their experience. Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) success
31

TABLE OF CONTENTS

depends in part upon the reputation and influence within the industry of our senior managers. It is possible that the loss of the services of one or a combination of our senior executives or key managers could have a material adverse effect on Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, contractual obligations related to confidentiality and assignment of intellectual property rights may be ineffective or unenforceable, and departing employees may share our proprietary information with competitors in ways that could adversely impact Helix (and, accordingly Forian).
In a dynamic industry like ours, our success and growth depend on our ability to attract, recruit, retain and develop qualified employees.
Our business functions at the intersection of rapidly changing technological, social, economic and regulatory developments that require a wide-ranging set of expertise and intellectual capital. To continue to successfully compete and grow, we must attract, recruit, develop and retain the necessary personnel who can provide the needed expertise across the entire spectrum of our intellectual capital needs. While we have a number of key personnel who have substantial experience with our operations, we must also develop our personnel to provide succession plans capable of maintaining continuity in the midst of the inevitable unpredictability of human capital. The market for qualified personnel is competitive, and we may not succeed in recruiting additional personnel or may fail to effectively replace current personnel who depart with qualified or effective successors. Our effort to retain and develop personnel may also result in significant additional expenses, which could adversely affect Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) profitability. There can be no assurances that qualified employees will continue to be employed or that we will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future. Failure to retain or attract key personnel could have a material adverse effect on Helix’s (and, accordingly Forian’s) business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to successfully manage our intellectual property.
Our intellectual property is critical to our future success, particularly in our strategic verticals where we may offer proprietary software solutions to our clients. We rely on a combination of contractual license rights and copyright, trademark and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary technology. Third parties may challenge, invalidate, circumvent, infringe or misappropriate our intellectual property or the intellectual property of our third-party licensors, or such intellectual property may not be sufficient to permit us to take advantage of current market trends or otherwise to provide competitive advantages, which could result in costly redesign efforts, discontinuance of certain service offerings or other competitive harm. Others, including our competitors, may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products and services, design around or reverse engineer our intellectual property, and in such cases neither we nor our third-party licensors may be able to assert intellectual property rights against such parties. Further, our contractual license arrangements may be subject to termination or renegotiation with unfavorable terms to us, and our third-party licensors may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other adverse business dynamics, any of which might affect our ability to use and exploit the products licensed to us by these third-party licensors. We may have to litigate to enforce or determine the scope and enforceability of our intellectual property rights (including litigation against our third-party licensors), which is expensive, could cause a diversion of resources and may not prove successful. The loss of intellectual property protection or the inability to obtain third-party intellectual property could harm our business and ability to compete.
We may be subject to infringement claims.
We may be subject to costly litigation if our products or services are alleged to infringe upon or otherwise violate a third party’s proprietary rights. Third parties may have, or may eventually be issued, patents that could be infringed by our products and services. Any of these third parties could make a claim of infringement against us with respect to our products and services. We may also be subject to claims by third parties for patent infringement, breach of copyright, trademark, license usage or other intellectual property rights. Any claim from third parties may result in a limitation on our ability to use the intellectual property subject to these claims. Additionally, in recent years, individuals and groups have been purchasing intellectual property assets for the sole purpose of making claims of infringement and attempting to extract settlements from companies like ours. Even if we believe that intellectual property related claims are without merit, defending against such claims is time consuming and expensive and could result in the diversion of the time and attention of our management and employees. Claims of intellectual property infringement also might require us to redesign affected products or
32

TABLE OF CONTENTS

services, enter into costly settlement or license agreements, pay costly damage awards for which we may not have insurance, or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing or selling certain of our products or services. Even if we have an agreement for indemnification against such costs, the indemnifying party, if any in such circumstances, may be unable to uphold its contractual obligations. If we cannot or do not license the infringed technology on reasonable terms or substitute similar technology from another source, our revenue and earnings could be materially and adversely affected. Further, our agreements with customers and other third parties may include indemnification provisions under which we agree to indemnify them for losses suffered or incurred as a result of third-party claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or other violations of intellectual property rights, damages caused by us to property or persons, or other liabilities relating to or arising from our platforms, services, or other contractual obligations. Large indemnity payments could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any dispute with a customer with respect to such obligations could have adverse effects on our relationship with that customer and other existing customers and new customers and harm our business and results of operations.
Risks Relating to MOR
MOR is in the development stage and has a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow its business, then we may have to scale back or even cease its ongoing business operations.
MOR is in the development stage, with limited operating history. MOR is faced with risks inherent in operating a new business, including difficulties often encountered in developing, producing and commercializing new technologies; developing the markets for MOR’s products and technologies; and attracting and retaining qualified management, sales and/or marketing and technical staff, in addition to the risks described below.
MOR is also faced with risks inherent in operating a new business, including: (i) difficulties and delays often encountered in developing, producing and commercializing new, complex technologies; (ii) developing the markets for MOR's products and technologies; (iii) transitioning MOR's development efforts to commercialization; and (iv) attracting and retaining qualified management, sales and/or marketing and technical staff.
We will need additional capital to fund Helix’s operations.
MOR will require additional capital to operate or expand the business. Additional funds may not be available when needed, on terms that are acceptable to MOR, or at all. If MOR raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible securities, the percentage ownership of members could be significantly diluted, and these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the preferred units. Furthermore, market factors may negatively impact MOR’s ability to obtain debt or equity financing. If sufficient funds are not available to MOR, the business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely impacted.
Our future success depends on our ability to retain our key personnel and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.
MOR is dependent on the talent and resources of its key managers and employees. Additionally, MOR’s future success will depend upon its continued ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly-skilled personnel. If MOR is not able to effectively increase and retain its talent, its ability to achieve its strategic objectives will be adversely impacted, and the business will be harmed.
We depend on computing infrastructure operated by third parties to support some of our solutions and customers, and any errors, disruption, performance problems, or failure in their or our operational infrastructure could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The software, internal applications and systems underlying MOR’s products and services are inherently complex and may contain defects or errors, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. The development, expansion, operation and maintenance of its technology and network infrastructure is expensive and complex and requires significant internal and external resources. If MOR does not successfully develop, expand, operate or maintain its technology and network infrastructure, or if MOR experiences operational failures, MOR’s reputation could be harmed, and MOR could lose current and prospective customers and service providers, which could adversely impact the business, financial condition or results of operations.
33

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We rely on third parties for certain services made available to users of our platforms, which could limit our control over the quality of the user experience and our cost of providing services.
MOR’s ability to generate revenue will be affected by the amount of time it takes to complete and enhance its platform. Additionally, there are multiple third-party vendors and service providers that must continue to provide MOR access to its application programming interfaces and operating systems, and MOR will rely on cooperation from third parties to integrate with their systems. Should third-party vendors, service providers and collaborators not perform as expected, cooperate with MOR or deliver their work as planned, MOR may not be able to release its products and services in a timely manner.
MOR utilizes third-party software in its product and service offerings and expects to continue to do so. The correction of these errors and defects will be dependent on these third parties, so it may be difficult for MOR to correct them. Further, MOR cannot be certain that third-party licensors will continue to make their software available to MOR on acceptable terms, or invest the appropriate levels of resources in their software to maintain and enhance its capabilities or remain in business.
If we are unsuccessful at developing new technologies, products or services, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
MOR is heavily reliant on its information technology infrastructure, processes and procedures, and will devote significant resources to ensuring it has competitive informational technology systems. Information technology changes rapidly, however, and MOR may not be able to stay ahead of such advances. If MOR is unable to introduce new or upgraded products, services or technology that users and collaborators recognize as valuable, MOR may fail to generate additional engagement on its platforms, attract and retain customers or monetize the activity on its platforms. MOR’s efforts to develop new and upgraded products, services or technology could require MOR to incur significant costs. MOR cannot guarantee current or prospective users and customers will respond favorably to new or improved products, services or technology.
Additionally, traditional pharmaceutical, data informatics and other well-established companies are expanding into the cannabis industry. This expansion could increase the number of competitors with similar platforms and expertise to MOR and could prevent MOR from realizing anticipated growth in customers and revenues.
If we fail to perform our services in accordance with contractual requirements, regulatory standards and ethical considerations, we could be subject to significant costs or liability and our reputation could be harmed.
MOR collects, processes and stores a large amount of personal information. This data is often accessed through transmissions over public and private networks, including the internet. Despite MOR’s physical security measures, implementation of technical controls and contractual precautions designed to identify, detect and prevent the unauthorized access, alteration, use or disclosure of MOR’s data, there is no guarantee that these measures or any other measures can provide absolute security. Systems that access or control access to MOR’s services and databases may be compromised as a result of criminal activity, including cyber-attacks and other intentional business disruptions, negligence or otherwise. Unauthorized disclosure or use, or loss or corruption, of MOR’s data or inability of MOR’s users to access MOR’s systems could disrupt the operations, subject MOR to substantial legal liability, result in a material loss of business, cause MOR to incur significant cost and significantly harm MOR’s reputation.
Privacy regulation is an evolving area and compliance with applicable privacy regulations may increase our operating costs or adversely impact our ability to service our clients and market our products and services.
Federal and state governments and agencies have adopted, or are considering adopting, laws and regulations regarding the collection, use and disclosure of data. It is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with MOR’s data practices, which could cause MOR to incur additional cost. Moreover, complying with these various laws could cause MOR to incur substantial costs or require it to change its business practices in a manner adverse to the business.
More specifically, the solutions we provide will involve the collection, storage and transmission of confidential personal and proprietary information regarding our customers and our customers’ current and prospective patients and other users. For certain of our business verticals, we will also collect, store and transmit a variety of data regarding an individual’s medical history. Our web-based and mobile products in these verticals
34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

may at least partially be subject to the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). Among other concerns, HIPAA provisions also address the security and privacy of health data in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the nation's health care system by encouraging the widespread use of electronic data interchange in the domestic health care system.
While we will devise plans to meet or exceed the regulatory requirements, including HIPAA, using our internal resources in conjunction with third party services, we might fail to achieve or maintain compliance to such requirements, and our third-party services suppliers might decide to modify or discontinue their services without adequate notice and this might cause additional expense in arranging new services and could harm our reputation, business, operating results and financial condition.
Regulatory authorities around the world are considering a number of legislative proposals concerning privacy and data protection. Federal and state governments and agencies have adopted, or are considering adopting, laws and regulations regarding the collection, use and disclosure of data. As MOR’s business expands, it may become subject to laws of additional jurisdictions, domestic and foreign. It is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with MOR’s data practices. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, any increase in the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, applicable legislative and regulatory initiatives may limit MOR’s ability to collect, aggregate or use data. Moreover, complying with these various laws could cause MOR to incur substantial costs or require it to change its business practices in a manner adverse to its business.
We may not be able to successfully manage our intellectual property and we may be subject to infringement claims.
Part of MOR’s success will depend on its ability to protect its proprietary rights in the technologies used in its products. We will consider trade secrets, including confidential and unpatented technology, important to the maintenance of our competitive position. However, trade secrets and know-how are difficult to protect. Further, if any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor, we would have no right to prevent that competitor from using the technology or information to compete with us. If any of our trade secrets were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our competitive position would be materially and adversely harmed. Additionally, if MOR is unable to protect its proprietary rights adequately, its business could be harmed.
There has been substantial litigation in internet and software-related industries regarding patent, trademark and copyrights and other intellectual property rights and, from time to time, third parties may claim infringement by MOR of their intellectual property rights. If MOR were found to be infringing on the intellectual property rights of any third party, it could be subject to liabilities for such infringement, which could have a material adverse impact on MOR’s profitability. In addition, any such claims could distract management from conducting the business.
Our failure to manage growth effectively could impair our business.
MOR intends to provide its solutions and services in various different industries. In order to manage its proposed growth effectively, MOR will have to develop and implement operational, financial and other internal control systems, as well as business development capabilities, and these systems and capabilities may need to be customized for the applicable industry being serviced by MOR. If MOR cannot manage growth effectively, the quality of solutions and services provided by MOR may not meet users’ expectations, which could have a negative effect on its business, revenues, financial condition and results of operations.
As a company whose clients operate in the cannabis industry, we face many unique and evolving risks.
A key vertical of MOR will be to partner directly or indirectly with U.S. cannabis companies and businesses ancillary to cannabis. The legal marijuana industry is a new industry, is at an early stage of development, represents a niche market, is evolving rapidly and is experiencing an increasing number of market entrants. MOR’s business prospects in this vertical is dependent on widespread acceptance and use of marijuana products, which is subject to a high level of uncertainty and volatility.
Further, cannabis companies and companies providing ancillary products and services are subject to greater amounts of governmental uncertainty and regulation pose additional risks relative to other businesses, and therefore transactions with these companies present greater overall risk. These companies typically have shorter
35

TABLE OF CONTENTS

operating histories, less predictable operating results, and regulatory concerns which tend to render them more vulnerable to market conditions, as well as general economic downturns. In addition, cannabis companies are engaged in rapidly changing businesses with products subject to substantial regulatory and operational risk.
Cannabis remains illegal under federal law, and MOR’s cannabis-related business is heavily dependent on state laws pertaining to the cannabis industry. Even though a number of states have decriminalized the sale of marijuana, many of these states impose significant restrictions on marijuana-related businesses and, accordingly, their vendors and collaborators, as well as on the collection and use of data from these businesses. These state-level restrictions could have a material adverse impact on the ability of MOR to identify suitable opportunities and the sales of MOR’s products and services. Laws and regulations affecting the cannabis industry are constantly changing, which could potentially have a detrimental effect on our business. We cannot predict the impact that future legislative actions may have on MOR.
There is a risk that MOR will not be able to find a bank that is willing to provide banking services to businesses contracting with cannabis companies or that a bank will continue to be willing to support cannabis and ancillary businesses in the long term. Banks that do business with marijuana-related businesses run the risk of federal prosecution. In addition, regulatory guidance requires banks to engage in comprehensive due diligence, monitoring and reporting when providing services to marijuana-related businesses. The risk of potential federal enforcement, and significant regulatory compliance obligations, may result in banks refraining from providing banking services to MOR.
Since MOR anticipates providing products and services to companies in the cannabis industry, insurance that is otherwise readily available, such as general liability, worker’s compensation, and directors’ and officers’ insurance, will likely be more difficult for us to find, and more expensive. There are no guarantees that we will be able to find this insurance in the future, or that the cost will be affordable to MOR. If MOR is forced to go without such insurance, it may prevent us from entering into certain business sectors, may inhibit our growth, and may expose us to additional risk and financial liabilities.
Our business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection and security, technology protection, and other matters. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in claims, changes to our business practices, monetary penalties, increased cost of operations, or otherwise harm our business.
Changes in applicable laws or regulations, or in the interpretations of these laws and regulations, could result in increased compliance costs or the need for additional capital expenditures, particularly given MOR’s operation in industries with more regulatory risks, such as personal data and cannabis. If a company fails to comply with these requirements, it could also be subject to civil or criminal liability and the imposition of fines. A company also could be materially and adversely affected as a result of statutory or regulatory changes or judicial or administrative interpretations of existing laws and regulations that impose more comprehensive or stringent requirements on such company.
New legislation or regulations may result in increased costs directly related to MOR’s compliance or indirectly to the extent that these requirements impact our customers and collaborators, for example through increase the prices of goods and services because of increased costs or reduced availability. We cannot predict whether such legislative or regulatory initiatives will result in significant changes to existing laws and regulations and/or whether any changes in such laws or regulations will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE MERGER
The following is a discussion of the merger and the material terms of the merger agreement relating to the Helix merger. We recommend that you read carefully the merger agreement in its entirety, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement/prospectus. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the merger agreement that is important to you. This section is not intended to provide you with any factual information about Forian, MOR or Helix. Such information can be found elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and in the public filings Helix makes with the SEC, as described in the section entitled “WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION” beginning on page 181.
Terms of the Merger
The Merger
At the effective time, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Helix, with Helix surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forian. As a result, among other things, Forian will become the ultimate parent of Helix and its respective subsidiaries.
Terms of the Merger
Each of the Forian board of directors and the Helix board of directors has approved the merger agreement, which provides for the merger of a Forian wholly-owned subsidiary with and into Helix. Helix will be the surviving entity in the merger; however, at that time, it will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forian.
Each share of Helix common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger (including shares resulting from the conversion of preferred stock and a convertible note, but excluding shares held by Forian and its subsidiaries, in each case except for shares held by them in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted, and excluding dissenting shares) will be converted into the right to receive 0.02731 shares of Forian common stock, which is referred to herein as the exchange ratio. If the number of shares of common stock of Forian or Helix changes before the merger is completed because of a reclassification, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar event, then a proportionate adjustment will be made to the exchange ratio.
The articles of incorporation of Helix will be amended and restated effective at the time of the merger and will thereafter be the articles of incorporation of the surviving corporation.

This strategic planning exercise generally has included an evaluation of the merits and drawbacks of (a) continuing to operate as an independent company, (b) continued expansion through organic growth and the strategic acquisition of other companies, and (c) entering into a strategic merger with another company. These reviews and strategic discussions have focused on, among other things, prospects and developments in Helix’s business, including Helix’s ability to increase capital to support operations and growth, in Helix’s industry, in the regulatory environment and in the economy and financial markets.

the fact that some of Helix’s directors and executive officers have other interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, their interests as Helix stockholders; and
the possibility of litigation in connection with the merger.
Based on the factors described above, the board of Helix determined that the merger with Forian would be advisable and in the best interests of Helix and its stockholders and other constituencies the board was authorized by law and by its certificate of incorporation to consider, and adopted the merger agreement and resolved to recommend its approval to the stockholders of Helix.
The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Helix board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive but includes the material factors considered by the Helix board of directors. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger and the complexity of these matters, the Helix board of directors did not find it useful, and did not attempt, to quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to these factors. In considering the factors described above, the individual members of the Helix board of directors may have given different weight to different factors. The Helix board of directors conducted an overall analysis of the factors described above including through discussions with, and questioning of, Helix’s management and Helix’s legal and financial advisors, and considered the factors overall to be favorable to, and to support, its determination to adopt the merger agreement and recommend its approval to Helix’s stockholders.
Opinion of Helix’s Financial Advisor
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Helix Technologies, Inc. (“Helix” or the “Company”) engaged and retained Management Planning, Inc. (“MPI” or the “Advisor”) to deliver an opinion to the Board (the “Opinion”) as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Company’s shareholders of the exchange of (a) 100% of the fully diluted common stock of Helix (160,307,826 shares) for (b) 4,420,000 shares (net of options and warrants) of Forian, Inc. (“Forian”). The balance of Forian’s issued and outstanding shares (12,531,044) will be issued to equity holders of Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC (“MOR”) in connection with Forian’s acquisition of MOR (collectively,the “Transaction”).

evaluation or appraisal. The Opinion is based upon market, economic, financial and other considerations as they existed on, and can be evaluated as of, October 14, 2020. Any change in such conditions will require a reevaluation. MPI has assumed that there are no legal issues regarding the Company or the Transaction that would affect the Opinion and has relied on this assumption without undertaking any independent investigation or inquiry. MPI provided no legal advice to any person (or entity) in connection with the Transaction.
MPI did not consider any potential legislative or regulatory changes being considered or recently enacted by the United States, Canada or any other foreign government or other regulatory body, or any changes in accounting methods or generally accepted accounting principles that may be adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, Canadian securities regulatory authorities or any similar foreign regulatory body or board.

MPI has also assumed that all necessary governmental and regulatory approvals and third-party consents will be obtained on terms and conditions that will not have a material adverse effect on the Transaction. MPI assumed that the final form of the Agreement would be substantially similar to the last draft received by MPI prior to rendering its Opinion. MPI assumed that the Transaction will be consummated in a manner that complies with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and all other applicable rules and regulations. MPI’s Opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the Stockholders as to how to vote on the Transaction. MPI’s Opinion does not imply any conclusion as to what the value, price or the trading range of Helix common stock actually will be before or after the announcement or the consummation of the Transaction, which may vary depending on numerous factors that generally influence the price of securities.
Overview of Financial Analyses
The following is a summary of the primary financial analyses performed by MPI to arrive at its Opinion. The summary of MPI’s analyses includes information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses, the tables must be read in conjunction with the text related to each summary. It should be noted that the tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Therefore, considering the data set forth in the tables without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the financial analyses. MPI performed certain procedures, including each of the financial analyses described below, and reviewed with the Board and management of Helix the assumptions on which such analyses were based and other factors, including the historical and projected financial results of Helix and MOR.
In arriving at its Opinion, MPI reviewed details pertaining to the Transaction, Helix and MOR and determined its valuation process, approaches and methodologies accordingly. The Opinion contemplates the indicated values of Helix, MOR and Forian and the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Stockholders. In determining the value of Forian MPI completed the following:
a)
determined the value of the equity of Helix;
b)
determined the value of the equity of MOR; and,
c)
combined the indicated values determined from the analysis of Helix and MOR, adjusting for MOR’s capital raise (As per the DRAFT Agreement and Plan of Merger, at least $11 million of new investment in MOR is being raised and is expected to close concurrently with the Transaction. Based upon information provided by management, MOR shall raise approximately $13 million; and this balance was incorporated in the analysis), to derive the indicated value range of Forian.
It should be noted that MPI’s analysis did not contemplate any post Transaction synergies or additional liquidity which may become available to Forian relating to obtaining a listing on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.
Helix Valuation
Analysis of Selected Publicly Traded Companies. MPI identified a group of publicly traded companies (SaaS businesses operating in the cannabis industry) that exhibited investment characteristics as similar as possible to Helix for use as valuation guidelines (the “Helix Guideline Companies”). MPI reviewed and
50

TABLE OF CONTENTS

compared certain financial and operating information pertaining to Helix to data derived from the Helix Guideline Companies. The selected companies were as follows:
Akerna Corp.
Braingrid Limited
CannaOne Technologies Inc.
FluroTech Ltd.
Next Generation Management Corp.
Nuvus Gro Corp.
TILT Holdings Inc.
Following a closer review of the Helix Guideline Companies, MPI elected to not rely upon a market approach in its determination of value for Helix. Lack of profitability, limited analyst projections, differences in growth outlook, and other qualitative factors limited comparability between Helix and the Helix Guideline Companies. Although the market approach was not directly utilized, certain market data gathered from the Helix Guideline Companies was deemed useful and incorporated in parts of the selected valuation approach.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. MPI performed a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the present value of Helix’s projected cash flows and determine a range of estimated enterprise values for the Company. Management provided a breakdown of future performance by operating segment (government and commercial) for the 2020-2023 fiscal years, which included information necessary to determine the after-tax, unlevered cash flows of each segment. After-tax, unlevered cash flow was computed by reducing projected EBIT by the Company’s estimated tax rate, expected changes in working capital, and capital expenditures and adding back projected depreciation and amortization. MPI also contemplated the differences in the Company’s operating segments as it pertains to customer attrition, customer concentration, pricing structures, market trends, growth, overall risk, and other factors. In performing this analysis, MPI utilized discount rates for the government and commercial segments that ranged from 20% to 24% and 25% to 29%, respectively. MPI determined these discount rates based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital analysis for each segment and applied the rates to the projected after-tax, unlevered free cash flows of each segment. Next, MPI utilized terminal multiples of revenue, for the government and commercial segments, ranging from 0.75x to 1.75x. The range of multiples was selected by MPI in its professional judgment and based on the enterprise value to revenue ratios observed among the Helix Guideline Companies. Based upon MPI’s analysis of Helix’s projected after-tax, unlevered cash flows, bifurcated by operating segments and incorporating the variables as described herein, the implied enterprise values of Helix’s government and commercial segments were $1.1 million to $1.7 million and $18.7 million to $29.9 million, respectively. The described analysis indicated a total concluded enterprise value range for Helix of $19.8 million to $31.6 million.

Concluded Equity Value. MPI utilized the indicated enterprise value range of $19.8 million to $31.6 million in its determination of the implied equity value of Helix. Next, adjustments were made for debt, a working capital deficiency, cash (net of contingent claims), potential tax savings on net operating losses and the value of options and warrants outstanding. The determination of the equity value for Helix is summarized below:

MOR Valuation
Analysis of Selected Publicly Traded Companies. MPI identified a group of publicly traded companies (CROs and healthcare/life sciences data analytics firms) that exhibited investment characteristics as similar as possible to MOR for use as valuation guidelines (the “MOR Guideline Companies”). MPI reviewed and compared certain financial and operating information pertaining to MOR to data derived from the MOR Guideline Companies. The selected companies were as follows:
Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc.
Health Catalyst, Inc.
IQVIA Holdings Inc.
NextGen Healthcare, Inc.
PRA Health Sciences, Inc.
Medpace Holdings, Inc.
ICON Public Limited Company
MPI reviewed, among other information, the indicated enterprise value (calculated as total market capitalization based on closing stock prices on October 14, 2020 plus debt, less cash) as a multiple of three-year projected revenues for each of the MOR Guideline Companies. Financial data of the MOR Guideline Companies was obtained from research analysts’ estimates, financial filings and other information available to the public. Financial data of MOR was obtained based on management’s projection estimates and input regarding the company’s cannabis and life sciences segment. Based on this observed data, MPI selected and applied a range of multiples to MOR’s three-year projected revenue for its cannabis and life sciences segments. This analysis indicated the following reference range of approximate aggregate enterprise values for MOR:

Notes: (a) Range of selected multiples assumed to be the same for the cannabis and life sciences segments.
52

TABLE OF CONTENTS

After applying the selected range of multiples to the three-year projected revenues of the cannabis and life sciences segments of $4.2 million and $16.8 million, respectively, the resulting enterprise value ranges were $6.3 million to $8.4 million and $25.2 million to $33.6 million, respectively. The described analysis indicated a total concluded enterprise value range for MOR of $31.5 million to $42.0 million.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. MPI also performed a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the present value of MOR’s projected cash flows and determine a range of estimated enterprise values for the company. Management provided information to estimate a breakdown of future performance by operating segment (cannabis and life sciences) for the 2020-2025 fiscal years, which also included information necessary to determine the after-tax, unlevered cash flows of each segment. Given the company’s pre-revenue nature and its relatively untested market strategy, there is a significant level of execution risk inherent in MOR’s forecasts. Consequently, MPI’s analysis of MOR considered certain market-based assumptions for profitability. Specifically, in its analysis of MOR, MPI reduced projected EBITDA margins to 14% in FY2023 to be in line with current market levels observed among the MOR Guideline Companies. MPI also utilized FY2023 as the terminal period of the company’s forecast with the view that operations beyond that point were significantly more subject to speculation. With these adjustments in mind, after-tax, unlevered cash flow was computed by reducing projected EBIT by MOR’s estimated tax rate, expected changes in working capital, and capital expenditures and adding back projected depreciation and amortization. MPI also contemplated the differences in MOR’s operating segments as it pertains to pricing structures, customer base, expected customer commitments, market trends, growth, overall risk, and other factors. In performing this analysis, MPI utilized discount rates for the cannabis and life sciences segments that ranged from 23% to 27% and 19% to 23%, respectively. MPI determined these discount rates based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital analysis for each segment of MOR and applied the rates to the after-tax, unlevered free cash flows of each segment. Next, MPI utilized terminal multiples of EBITDA for the cannabis and life sciences segments ranging from 11.0x to 15.0x. The range of multiples was selected by MPI in its professional judgment and based upon the enterprise value to EBITDA ratios observed among the MOR Guideline Companies. Based upon MPI’s analysis of MOR’s projected after-tax, unlevered cash flows, bifurcated by operating segment and incorporating the variables as described herein, the implied enterprise values of MOR’s cannabis and life sciences segments were $6.1 million to $15.3 million and $20.6 million to $38.0 million, respectively. The described analysis indicated total a concluded enterprise value range for MOR of $26.7 million to $53.3 million.
Concluded Equity Value. MPI utilized the indicated enterprise value range from the market approach, the income approach, as well as MOR’s Capital Raise Pre-Money Valuation (net of cash), in its determination of total concluded enterprise value range of $31.2 million to $43.6 million. To arrive at equity value, MPI added cash to the concluded enterprise value range. The determination of the equity value for MOR is summarized below:

Other Matters
MPI has acted as financial advisor to the Board in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fee of $120,000 for such services. MPI’s fee is not contingent upon the closing of the Transaction. Please also note that MPI has not rendered valuation services to the Company in the past. The Company has agreed to indemnify MPI for certain liabilities arising out of the rendering of its Opinion.
MPI prepared these analyses for the purpose of providing an opinion to the Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the exchange of the fully diluted common equity of Helix for the shares of Forian. Any estimates contained in these analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual future results. Accordingly, MPI assumes no responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecasted in such estimates.
The Company selected MPI to prepare the fairness opinion in connection with the Transaction based on MPI’s reputation. The issuance of MPI’s Opinion was authorized by MPI’s fairness opinion committee. The foregoing description is only a summary of the analyses and examinations that MPI deems material to its Opinion. It is not a comprehensive description of all analyses and examinations actually conducted by MPI. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process that involves various judgments and determinations as to
54

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the most appropriate and relevant assumptions and financial analyses and the application of these methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore such an opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. MPI believes that its analyses and the summary set forth herein must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and of the factors considered, without considering all analyses and factors, would create an incomplete view of the process underlying the analyses set forth in its presentation to the Board. In addition, MPI may have given some analyses more or less weight than other analyses, and may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions. The fact that any specific analysis has been referred to in the summary above is not meant to indicate that this analysis was given greater weight than any other analysis.
In performing its analyses, MPI made numerous assumptions with respect to industry and market information, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. The analyses performed by MPI are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by these analyses. These analyses were prepared solely as part of the analysis performed by MPI with respect to its Opinion.
Unaudited Financial Forecasts of Helix and MOR
In connection with the proposed merger Helix management and MOR management, prepared forecasts relating to Helix and MOR (without giving effect to the business combinations) that included forecasted future financial and operating performance. These non-public forecasts were provided to MPI for use and reliance in its financial analysis in preparation of its opinion to the Helix board of directors. A summary of these forecasts is set forth below.
You should be aware that uncertainties are inherent in prospective financial information of any kind. None of Helix or MOR or any of their respective affiliates, advisors, officers, directors, managers or representatives has made or makes any representation or can give any assurance to any Helix stockholder, or any other person regarding the ultimate performance of Helix or MOR compared to the summarized information set forth below or that any such results will be achieved. The Helix and MOR forecasts were prepared solely for internal purposes and not with a view toward public disclosure or toward compliance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the published guidelines of the SEC, or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. They were, however, in the view of Helix’s and MOR’s management, prepared on a reasonable basis and reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments when they were prepared. However, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as necessarily indicative of actual future results, and readers of this proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to rely on these forecasts.
Helix and MOR use a variety of financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP for forecasting, budgeting and measuring operating performance, including Helix’s use of earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”). While Helix believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information to help investors understand its operating results and to analyze Helix’s financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not reported by all of Helix’s competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of Helix’s competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures.
The summary forecasts set forth below summarize the forecasts made available by the parties to the merger to their respective legal and financial advisors. The inclusion of the following summary forecasts in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that Helix, MOR or their respective representatives considered or consider the forecasts to be necessarily predictive of actual future performance or events, and the summary forecasts set forth below should not be relied upon as such.
Neither Helix’s nor MOR’s independent registered public accounting firm, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the forecasts set forth below, nor have they expressed nor will they express any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the forecasts.
Internal forecasts, such as those set forth below, are inherently subjective in nature, susceptible to interpretation and, accordingly, are not guarantees that the result indicated by such forecasts will be achieved.
55

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The internal financial forecasts also reflect numerous assumptions made by management, including material assumptions that may not be realized and are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Helix or MOR. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the assumptions made in preparing the internal financial forecasts upon which the following projected financial information was based will be realized and, in fact, may have proven to have been, or may longer be, accurate. There will be differences between actual and forecasted results, and the differences may be material. Because the forecasts cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less reliable with each successive year. Furthermore, any assumptions and forecasts that are not realized in early periods could have a compounding effect on the forecasts shown for later periods − any failure of an assumption or forecasts to be reflective of actual results in an early period could have a greater effect on the forecasted results failing to be reflective of actual events in later periods. The forecasts do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date they were prepared. Neither MOR nor Helix intend to update or revise the forecasts.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Management and Board of Directors of Forian After the Transaction
Immediately after consummation of the Merger, Parent’s board of directors will consist of eleven directors, including Marty Wygod, Max Wygod, Adam Dublin and Dan Barton of MOR, Scott Ogur of Helix, and the following independent directors Dr. Mark Adler, Ian Banwell, Jennifer Hajj, Shahir Kassam-Adams, Stanley Trotman, and one more to be named at a later date.
Furthermore, immediately after consummation of the Merger, Dan Barton, Chief Executive Officer of MOR, will be Chief Executive Officer of Parent, Max Wygod, co-founder of MOR, will be Executive Chairman of Parent’s board of directors, and Adam Dublin, co-founder of MOR, will be Chief Strategy Officer of Parent.
Interests of Helix Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger
In considering the recommendation of the Helix board that Helix stockholders vote to approve the merger, Helix stockholders should be aware that Helix’s directors and current and certain former executive officers have certain interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, those of Helix stockholders generally. The Helix board was aware of and considered these potential interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the merger agreement and in recommending that Helix stockholders vote to approve the adoption of the merger agreement. These interests are further described below.
Service as a Director of Forian
Under the merger agreement, Scott Ogur, CFA, who currently serves as the Chief Financial Officer of Helix, will join the board of directors of Forian at the effective time of the merger. As a director of Forian, Mr. Ogur will be eligible to receive the same equity compensation paid to other members of the Forian board of directors.
Options to Acquire Helix Common Stock
As of the record date for the Helix special meeting, the Helix directors and executive officers owned, in the aggregate, options to purchase [•] shares of Helix common stock granted under Helix equity compensation plans.
Under the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger each such stock option that is outstanding and not yet exercised immediately prior to the merger, whether vested or unvested, shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Helix common stock and shall be converted into an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting, exercisability and the ability to pay the exercise price and satisfy applicable tax or other withholding obligations by reduction of the amount of shares otherwise deliverable) as were applicable to such Helix stock option immediately prior to the effective time, the number of shares of Forian common stock (rounded, if necessary, down to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying the number of shares of Helix company common Stock subject to such stock option as of immediately prior to the effective time by the exchange ratio of 0.02731, at an exercise price per share of Forian common stock (rounded, if necessary, up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the exercise price per share of Helix common stock under such Helix stock option divided by 0.02731. This means that Helix directors and executive officers, following the merger, in the aggregate, will hold options to purchase [•] shares of Forian common stock that are substituted for stock granted under Helix equity compensation plans.
As soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time, if and to the extent necessary to cause a sufficient number of authorized, but unissued Forian common stock to be registered and issuable upon the exercise or settlement of the surviving corporation stock options, Forian is required to file a new or amended Registration Statement on Form S-8 with respect to the shares of Forian common stock subject to the former Helix stock options and to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such surviving corporation stock options remain outstanding.
Shares of Helix Preferred Stock
As of the record date for the Helix special meeting, the Helix directors and executive officers beneficially owned, in the aggregate, 1,000,000 shares of Helix Series A preferred stock and 13,784,201 shares of Helix Series B preferred stock.
Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, each outstanding share of Helix Series A preferred stock and Helix Series B preferred stock will be converted into 1.046 shares of Helix common stock and
61

TABLE OF CONTENTS

thereafter, as a result of the merger, each share of Helix common stock resulting from the conversion of the preferred shares shall be converted into 0.02731 shares of Forian common stock (the result being that each share of Helix preferred stock will ultimately be converted into .02857 shares of Forian common stock). This will result in the Helix officers and directors receiving 422,385 shares of Forian common stock as a result of the conversion of the Helix preferred stock and the merger.
Helix RC Convertible Notes
As of the record date for the Helix special meeting, the Helix directors and executive officers beneficially owned, in the aggregate, $1,885,000 in principal amount of the Helix RC Convertible Notes. Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, $1.5 million in principal amount of the outstanding RC Convertible Notes will be converted into common stock of Helix pursuant to a Convertible Notes Conversion Agreement at the rate of one share per $0.10, which will result in the issuance of 15 million shares of Helix common stock. The remaining $385,000 in principal amount of the outstanding RC Convertible Notes will be converted into [•] shares of Helix common stock pursuant to a Convertible Notes Conversion Agreement. As a result of the merger, each share of Helix common stock resulting from the conversion of the convertible notes will be converted into 0.02731 shares of Forian common stock. This will result in the Helix officers and directors receiving [•] shares of Forian common stock as a result of the conversion of the Helix convertible notes and the merger.
Termination of Rose Management agreement
Two Helix directors, Andrew Schweibold and Sat Joshi, are principals of Rose Management Group, LLC (“Rose Management”), with which Helix has an agreement to provide certain management and consulting services. That agreement terminates upon the closing of certain transactions, which include the merger. Upon such a termination, Rose Management is entitled to and will receive a payout equal to one additional year of management fees, which equals $249,960.
Employee Benefits
Forian, for a period of at least six (6) months after the effective time of the merger, must provide each Helix employee who continues to be employed following the merger with compensation and benefits that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the compensation and benefits (other than severance and equity compensation and other long-term incentives) that were provided immediately prior to the effective time.
For purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accruals (with respect to benefit accruals, solely for the purposes of determining accrual of vacation, paid time off, and severance benefits), under the Forian benefit plans providing benefits to any continuing employee following the effective time of the merger, Forian must, and must cause Helix, as the surviving corporation of the merger, to, cause service rendered by each continuing employee to Helix prior to the effective time to be credited for such purposes to the same extent as such continuing employee was entitled, prior to the effective time, to credit for such service under any similar Forian benefit plan; provided, however, that continuing employees will not receive service credit if that would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service.
Forian must (i) cause each continuing employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all Forian benefit plans to the extent coverage under such Forian benefit plan replaces coverage under a comparable Helix benefit plan in which such continuing employee participated immediately before the effective time; and (ii) for purposes of each Forian benefit plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any continuing employee from and after the effective time, (A) cause all pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, waiting periods and actively at work requirements of such Forian benefit plan to be waived for such continuing employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, waiting periods or actively at work requirements were waived or satisfied under the comparable Helix benefit plan and (B) recognize, or cause to be recognized, any eligible expenses incurred by such continuing employee and his or her covered dependents under a Helix benefit plan during the portion of the plan year prior to the effective time to be taken into account under such Forian benefit plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, co-insurance, co-payment and maximum out of pocket requirements applicable to such continuing employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Forian benefit plan. See the section entitled “Merger Agreement – Employee Benefits” beginning on page 78.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Insurance and Indemnification
For a period of six years from and after the effective time of the merger, Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger has agreed to provide, and Forian has agreed cause Helix to provide, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and Helix’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, indemnification and provide advancement of reasonable expenses to, each indemnified party against all losses that are paid in settlement of or in connection with any claim based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such person was a director or officer of Helix or any Helix subsidiary (or was serving at the request of Helix or any of its subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee, or trustee of another person) and pertaining to any matter existing at or before the effective time of the merger. In addition, for a period of six years from the effective time of the merger, Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger has agreed to provide, and Forian has agreed cause Helix to provide director’s and officer’s liability insurance with respect to claims against such directors and officers arising from facts or events that occurred before the effective time of the merger, which insurance shall contain at least the same coverage and amounts, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous, as that coverage currently provided by Helix. In no event shall Helix or Forian, however, be required to expend, on an annual basis, more than 300% of the current annual amount expended by Helix to maintain such directors and officers insurance coverage. In lieu of the foregoing, Helix may obtain at or prior to the effective time a six-year “tail” policy under Helix’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence if and to the extent that the same may be obtained for an amount that, in the aggregate, does not exceed 300% of the current annual amount expended by Helix to maintain such directors and officers insurance coverage. See the section entitled “Merger Agreement – Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance” beginning on page 76.
Certain Compensation for Helix Named Executive Officers
The following table sets forth the information required by Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, regarding certain merger-related compensation that the Helix named executive officers may be entitled to receive pursuant to their existing agreements with Helix. The amounts are calculated assuming that (i) the effective date of the merger and a qualifying termination of employment occurred on [•], 2020 (which is an assumed date solely for the purposes of calculations in this section); (ii) Messrs. Venegas and Ogur each experience a qualifying termination in connection with the merger; and (iii) the amounts below are determined using a price per share of Helix common stock of $[•], the average closing price per share over the first five business days following the announcement of the merger agreement, and are based on Helix equity awards that were outstanding as of [•], 2020. The merger-related compensation payable to the Helix named executive officers will be submitted to a non-binding advisory vote of the Helix stockholders, as described under “Proposal 2 – the Helix Merger-Related Compensation Proposal” beginning on page 146. As the vote is advisory only, however, it will not preclude payment of this compensation, which Helix is contractually obligated to pay, even if the vote were to be “AGAINST” payment of these amounts.
The calculations in the table do not include amounts that Helix’ named executive officers were already entitled to receive or vested in as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, these amounts do not reflect compensation actions that may occur after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus but before the effective time of the merger. As a result of the foregoing assumptions, which may or may not actually occur or be accurate on the relevant date, including the assumptions described in the footnotes to the table, the actual amounts, if any, to be received by a named executive officer may materially differ from the amounts set forth below.

These options, in the merger, convert, respectively into options to acquire 4,096 shares of Forian common stock (exercise price - $3.83) and 13,655 shares of Forian common stock (exercise price -$6.11). As of October 17, 2020 (the day following execution of the merger agreement), Mr. Venegas would have realized $24,325 in profit had those options been exercised and the resulting shares sold that day.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Employment Agreements with Helix Executive Officers
Certain Helix executive officers have employment and severance agreements that provide such or executive officers with severance benefits if their employment is terminated in connection with the merger. The aggregate compensation that certain Helix directors and named executive officers may receive as a result of the merger is as follows: Mr. Venegas, $200,000 and Mr. Ogur, $180,000.
Helix currently has employment agreements with each of Messrs. Venegas and Ogur. These employment agreements will terminate at the effective time of the merger.
Employment with Forian Following the Merger
It is anticipated that, following the merger, Mr. Ogur will be a member of Forian’s board of directors and that each of Messrs. Venegas and Ogur will be consultants to Forian and to Helix. Mr. Venegas is expected to receive a $25,000 per month advisory fee, options to purchase 400,000 shares of Forian common stock that vest over four years, and a potential performance fee of up to 30% of the annualized advisory fee. Mr. Ogur is expected to receive a $22,500 per month advisory fee, options to purchase 400,000 shares of Forian common stock that vest over four years, and a potential performance fee of up to 20% of the annualized advisory fee. As of the date hereof the proposed consulting agreements with Mr. Ogur and Mr. Venegas have not been finalized or executed.
Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Voted Upon
The following table sets forth certain information as of the record date about outstanding options granted under the Incentive Plans held by our officers and directors of Helix. In the merger, all stock options will be converted into options to acquire Forian common stock. See “Options to Acquire Helix Common Stock” above. The following chart shows the options held by Helix’s executive officers, including Helix’s named executive officers:

The members of the Helix board of directors were informed of the material elements of these additional interests and considered them when they approved the merger agreement.
Exchange of Shares for Merger Consideration
Broadridge will act as exchange agent in the merger and in that role will process the exchange of Helix stock certificates for Forian common stock. Do not forward your Helix stock certificates with your proxy card.
Deposit with Exchange Agent. At the effective time, for the benefit of the holders of Helix stock certificates and/or book-entry shares, Forian will deliver to the exchange agent, to be given to the holders of Helix common stock in exchange for their certificates and book-entry shares as provided for in the merger agreement, evidence of shares in book entry form, representing the number of whole shares of Forian common stock issuable to the holders of Helix common stock as the merger consideration. The exchange agent will not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to the shares of Forian common stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it will receive and hold all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with respect to such shares of Forian common stock for the account of the persons entitled thereto.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Mailing of Transmittal Material. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) business days prior to the effective time, Helix will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the exchange agent all information which is reasonably necessary for the exchange agent to perform its obligations as specified herein. As promptly as practicable after the effective time, but in no event later than three (3) business days following the effective time, Forian will cause the exchange agent to mail and otherwise make available to each holder of record of Helix common stock, a notice and a form of letter of transmittal, in a form reasonably acceptable to Helix (which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to such certificate(s) theretofore representing shares of Helix common stock will pass, only upon proper delivery of such certificate(s) to the exchange agent or transfer of book-entry shares to the exchange agent), advising such holder of the effectiveness of the merger and the instructions and procedure for surrendering to the exchange agent such certificate(s) or book-entry shares in exchange for book-entry shares representing the number of whole shares of Forian common stock which the shares of Helix common stock represented by such certificate(s) or book-entry shares will have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to the merger agreement as well as any dividends or distributions to be paid in respect of such shares pursuant to the merger agreement. A letter of transmittal will be properly completed only if accompanied by a certificate or certificates or instructions to transfer book-entry shares representing all shares of Helix common stock covered thereby, subject to the provisions below – Exchange Agent Deliveries”.
Issued Shares. All shares of Forian common stock to be issued pursuant to the merger will be deemed issued and outstanding as of the effective time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Forian in respect of the Forian common stock, the record date for which is at or after the effective time, that declaration will include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares of Forian common stock issuable pursuant to the merger agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the Forian common stock will be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered certificate or book-entry shares until such certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the certificate as provided below – “Lost or Destroyed certificates; Issuances of Forian Common Stock in New Names) or book-entry shares are surrendered for exchange in accordance with the merger agreement. Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following the surrender of any such certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the certificate as provided – “Lost or Destroyed certificates; Issuances of Forian Common Stock in New Names) or book-entry shares, there will be issued and/or paid to the holder of the book-entry shares representing whole shares of Forian common stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (A) at the time of such surrender, any unpaid dividends or other distributions with a record date at or after the effective time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Forian common stock and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Forian common stock with a record date at or after the effective time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.
Exchange Agent Deliveries. Each holder of an outstanding certificate or certificates or book-entry shares who has surrendered such certificate or certificates or book-entry shares to the exchange agent will, upon acceptance thereof by the exchange agent, be entitled to evidence of issuance in book entry form, the number of whole shares of Forian common stock into which the aggregate number of shares of Helix common stock previously represented by such certificate or certificates or book-entry shares surrendered will have been converted pursuant to the merger agreement and any other distribution theretofore paid with respect to Forian common stock issuable in the merger, in each case, without interest. The exchange agent will accept such certificates or book-entry shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the exchange agent may impose consistent with the notice and form of letter of transmittal to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices.
Each outstanding certificate or book-entry share which prior to the effective time represented Helix common stock and which is not surrendered to the exchange agent in accordance with the procedures provided for herein will, except as otherwise herein provided, until duly surrendered to the exchange agent, be deemed to evidence ownership of the number of shares of Forian common stock into which such Helix common stock will have been converted. After the effective time, there will be no further transfer on the records of Helix of certificates or book-entry shares representing shares of Helix common stock and, if such certificates or book-entry shares are presented to Helix for transfer, they will be cancelled against delivery of book entry shares representing Forian common stock as hereinabove provided.
Lost or Destroyed certificates; Issuances of Forian Common Stock in New Names. The exchange agent will not be obligated to deliver book-entry shares representing shares of Forian common stock to which a holder of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Helix common stock would otherwise be entitled as a result of the merger until such holder surrenders the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Helix common stock for exchange as provided in the merger agreement, or, in default thereof, an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond in an amount as may be reasonably required in each case by Forian. If any book entry shares of Forian common stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate evidencing Helix common stock surrendered in exchange therefore is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed or accompanied by an executed form of assignment separate from the certificate and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange pay to the exchange agent any transfer or other tax required by reason of the issuance of book entry shares of Forian common stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate or book-entry shares surrendered or otherwise establish to the satisfaction of the exchange agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.
Unclaimed merger consideration. The exchange of shares of Helix common stock for the merger consideration as provided in the merger agreement will be administered by the exchange agent until such time as any unclaimed portion thereof is required to be delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Neither the exchange agent nor any party to the merger agreement will be liable to any holder of stock represented by any certificate or book-entry share for any consideration paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. The exchange agent will be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of Helix to establish the identity of those persons entitled to receive the consideration specified in the merger agreement, which books will be conclusive (absent manifest error) with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by any certificate or book-entry share, the exchange agent will be entitled to deposit any consideration represented thereby in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.
No Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Forian common stock will be issued by virtue of the merger, but in lieu thereof, each holder of Helix common stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Forian common stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Forian common stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) will be automatically converted into the right to receive one full additional share of Forian common stock.
Withholding Rights. Forian (through the exchange agent, if applicable) will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to the merger agreement to any holder of shares of Helix common stock or Helix stock awards such amounts as Forian reasonably determines is required under the Internal Revenue Code or any state, local or foreign tax law or regulation thereunder to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment, and to collect any necessary tax forms or other necessary information. Any amounts so withheld will be treated for all purposes of the merger agreement as having been paid to the holder of Helix common stock or Helix stock award, as applicable, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Forian.
Appraisal Rights
Helix stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the merger under Section 262 of DGCL, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix D, and the section titled “APPRAISAL RIGHTS OF HELIX STOCKHOLDERS” in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Public Trading Markets
Helix common stock currently trades on the OTCQB under the symbol “HLIX”. Following the merger, Helix stock will not be listed.
Forian’s common stock currently is not listed; however, a condition to the effectiveness of the merger is that Forian’s common stock be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to official notice of issuance. Forian has applied to have its shares of common stock listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FORA.”
Voting and Support Agreements
Concurrent with the execution and delivery of the merger agreement, certain of Helix’s officers, directors and significant stockholders (which we refer to as a supporting stockholder) entered into voting and support
66

TABLE OF CONTENTS

agreements (which we refer to as voting agreements) with Forian. The supporting stockholders beneficially own approximately 45% of the issued and outstanding shares of Helix common stock and 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Helix preferred stock entitled to vote at Helix special meeting.
Pursuant to the voting agreements, each supporting stockholder agreed, among other things to, vote or cause to be voted the shares of Helix common stock and Helix preferred stock (on an as-converted basis) beneficially owned by such supporting stockholder in favor of (i) the adoption of the merger agreement and approval of the merger and (b) against (i) any action or proposal that would constitute a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation or warranty under the merger agreement or of such supporting stockholder under the applicable voting agreement, or that reasonably would be expected to prevent, impede, frustrate, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the merger or any of the other transactions involving Helix or the consummation thereof, (ii) any alternative proposal or any proposal relating to an alternative proposal, or (iii) any proposal in opposition to approval of the merger agreement or in competition with or materially inconsistent with the merger agreement. See “THE MERGER AGREEMENT – Acquisition Proposals”.
In addition, under the terms of its voting agreement, each supporting stockholder irrevocably appointed Forian as such supporting stockholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact to vote at any annual or special meeting of Helix stockholders at which any of the matters set forth above are to be considered, with respect to such supporting stockholder’s Helix common stock and Helix preferred stock.
Each supporting stockholder also agreed, under its voting agreement, not to, among other things, (a) cause or permit any transfer of any of such supporting stockholder’s securities subject to the voting agreement; (b) deposit any of such securities in a voting trust, grant any proxy or power of attorney in respect of such securities, enter into any voting agreement or similar arrangement with respect to such securities; (c) acquire any additional securities of Helix; (d) form, join, encourage, influence, advise or in any way participate in any “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act with any persons with respect to any securities of Helix; (e) act in concert with any person to make, or participate in, a “solicitation” of “proxies” or consents (as such terms are used in the proxy solicitation rules of the SEC), other than to recommend that stockholders of Helix vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement and any proposal or action in respect of which approval of Helix’s stockholders is requested that could reasonably be expected to facilitate the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement; or (f) commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions.
The supporting stockholders also agreed to waive their appraisal rights in connection with the merger and agreed to certain non-solicitation obligations with respect to any inquiry or alternative proposals. See “THE MERGER – Dissenters or Appraisal Rights” and “THE MERGER AGREEMENT – Acquisition Proposals”.
Each supporting stockholder that beneficially owns shares of Helix Preferred Stock also agreed, under the voting agreements, that all of its shares of Helix preferred stock would convert into 1.046 shares of Helix common stock, with such conversion to become effective immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. Each supporting stockholder that beneficially owns certain convertible promissory notes also agreed, under the voting agreements, that such convertible promissory notes would convert into shares of Helix common stock prior to the effective time of the merger.
Accounting Treatment
While Forian will be the legal acquirer, the merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). MOR will be deemed the accounting acquirer in the business combination for accounting purposes and Helix will be treated as the acquiree, based on a number of factors considered at the time of preparation of this proxy statement/prospectus, including control over the post-merger company as evidenced by the composition of executive management and the board of directors as well as the relative equity ownership after the closing of the business combination. The application of acquisition accounting of is dependent upon the working capital positions at the closing of the business combination, is dependent on other factors such as the share price of Helix immediately prior to the closing of the merger, and is dependent on certain valuations and other studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The combined company will complete the valuations and other studies upon completion of the business combination and will finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but in no event later than one year following the closing date of the merger. Consolidated
67

TABLE OF CONTENTS

financial statements of Forian issued after the consummation of the merger will reflect such values. In addition, costs incurred in connection with the business combination will be expensed as incurred unless related to the equity issuance. The operating results of Helix will be included in Forian’ consolidated financial statements from the date the merger is consummated and forward.
Resales of Forian Common Stock
The shares of Forian common stock to be issued to stockholders of Helix under the merger agreement have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may be freely traded without restriction by holders, including holders who were affiliates of Helix on the date of the special meeting (except for such holders who become affiliates of Forian as of the effective time of the merger via their appointment to the board of directors of Forian or otherwise). All directors and executive officers of Helix are considered affiliates of Helix for this purpose.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE MERGER AGREEMENT
The following is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the merger agreement. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the merger agreement that is important to you. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to, and incorporated by reference into, this proxy statement/prospectus. The rights and obligations of the parties are governed by the express terms and conditions of the merger agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus. We recommend that you read the merger agreement carefully and in its entirety before making any decisions regarding the merger.
Closing
The closing of the merger will take place remotely via the electronic transmittal of executed documents at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on a date to be specified by Helix and Forian, which will be no later than the second business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to be satisfied at or prior to the closing, unless the merger agreement has been terminated pursuant to its terms. The date on which the closing occurs is referred to herein as the closing date.
Effective Time
Subject to the provisions of the merger agreement, as soon as practicable on the closing date, the parties will cause the merger to be consummated by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger with respect to the merger, duly executed and completed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, and will make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The merger will become effective concurrently. We refer to the time at which the merger becomes effective as the effective time.
Terms of the Merger
Each of the Forian board of directors and the Helix board of directors has approved the merger agreement, which provides for the merger of a Forian wholly-owned subsidiary with and into Helix. Helix will be the surviving entity in the merger; however, at that time, it will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forian.
Each share of Helix common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger (including shares resulting from the conversion of preferred stock and a convertible note, but excluding shares held by Forian and its subsidiaries, in each case except for shares held by them in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted, and excluding dissenting shares) will be converted into the right to receive 0.02731 shares of Forian common stock, which is referred to herein as the exchange ratio. If the number of shares of common stock of Forian or Helix changes before the merger is completed because of a reclassification, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar event, then a proportionate adjustment will be made to the exchange ratio.
The articles of incorporation of Helix will be amended and restated effective at the time of the merger and will thereafter be the articles of incorporation of the surviving corporation. The Helix bylaws as in effect immediately prior to the completion of the merger will be the bylaws of the surviving entity.
Treatment of Helix Stock Options
By virtue of the merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each Helix stock option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the effective time will, as of the effective time, cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Helix common stock and will be converted into an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting, exercisability and the ability to pay the exercise price and satisfy applicable tax or other withholding obligations by reduction of the amount of shares otherwise deliverable) as were applicable to such Helix stock option immediately prior to the effective time, the number of shares of Forian common stock (rounded, if necessary, down to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying the number of shares of Helix common stock subject to such stock option as of immediately prior to the effective time by the exchange ratio, at an exercise price per share of Forian Common Stock (rounded, if necessary, up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the exercise price per share of Helix common stock under such stock option divided by the exchange ratio.

In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties were made as of a specified date, are modified or qualified by information in one or more confidential disclosure letters prepared in connection with the execution and delivery of the merger agreement, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the merger agreement are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts about Forian, Helix or the other parties at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus or that Helix makes publicly available in reports, statements and other documents filed with the SEC.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the preceding paragraph, if Helix or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their respective representatives receives a written alternative proposal by any person or group at any time prior to the Helix special meeting that was not solicited in material breach of the merger agreement, Helix and its representatives may, prior to the Helix special meeting, if the Helix board of directors (or any committee thereof) has determined, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with Helix’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel), that such alternative proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal (provided that Helix and its representatives may contact such person or group prior to such conclusion solely to clarify the terms and conditions thereof to determine whether such alternative proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal) and that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable law: (i) furnish non-public information to and afford access to the business, employees, officers, contracts, properties, assets, books and records of Helix and its subsidiaries to any person in response to such alternative proposal, pursuant to the prior execution of (and Helix and/or its subsidiaries may enter into) an acceptable confidentiality agreement (provided that Helix has previously furnished, made available or provided access to Forian to any such non-public information or substantially concurrently (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours thereafter) does so); and (ii) enter into and maintain discussions or negotiations with any person regarding such alternative proposal.
Reasonably promptly (but in no event more than twenty-four (24) hours) following Helix’s receipt of any alternative proposal or any inquiry or request for non-public information relating to Helix or any Helix subsidiary by any person who has made or could reasonably be expected to make any alternative proposal from and after the date of the merger agreement, Helix will advise Forian in writing of (i) the receipt of such alternative proposal, inquiry or request, (ii) the identity of the person making any such alternative proposal, inquiry or request, and (iii) the terms and conditions of such alternative proposal or potential alternative proposal or the nature of the information requested, and Helix will as reasonably promptly as practicable provide to Forian: (A) a copy of such alternative proposal or potential alternative proposal, if in writing, or a written summary of the material terms of such alternative proposal, if oral, and (B) copies of all written requests, proposals, correspondence or offer, including proposed agreements received by Helix, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives. In addition, Helix will keep Forian reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis, or upon Forian’s reasonable request, (x) of the status and material terms of (including amendments or revisions or proposed amendments or revisions to) each alternative proposal or potential alternative proposal, and (y) as to the nature of any information requested of Helix or any of its subsidiaries with respect thereto.
Notwithstanding anything in the merger agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to (but not after) the Helix special meeting, the Helix board of directors may, if Helix has received an alternative proposal from any Person or Group that is not withdrawn and Helix board concludes in good faith constitutes a superior proposal (after taking into account the terms of any revised offer by Forian), (i) make an adverse recommendation change, or (ii) terminate the merger agreement in order to enter into a definitive written agreement providing for such superior proposal simultaneously with the termination of the merger agreement, in each case only if (A) if the Helix board of directors (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors), that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) the Helix board (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors) that such alternative proposal constitutes a superior proposal, and (C) Helix has complied in all material respects with the terms of the merger agreement with respect to such alternative proposal; provided, however, that (1) no adverse recommendation change may be made, and (2) no related termination of the merger agreement may be effected, in each case until after the fifth business day (which we refer to as the notice period) following Forian’s receipt of a written notice from Helix advising Forian that Helix has received an alternative proposal that is not withdrawn and that the Helix board (or any committee thereof) has concluded in good faith constitutes a superior proposal and, absent any revision to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, the Helix board of directors intends to make an adverse recommendation change on account of such alternative proposal or terminate the merger agreement (which we refer to as a notice of a superior proposal) and specifying the reasons therefor, including the terms and conditions of any such superior proposal (including copies of all relevant documents in Helix’s possession relating to such superior proposal) and the identity of the party making the superior proposal (in each case to the extent not previously provided by Helix to Forian). During the notice period, Helix will, and will cause its representatives to negotiate with Forian and its representatives in good faith
75

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(to the extent Forian desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of the merger agreement so that the alternative proposal would cease to constitute a superior proposal. Any material amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment of such superior proposal will require a new notice of superior proposal and Helix will be required to comply again with the requirements of the merger agreement. In determining whether an alternative proposal constitutes a superior proposal, the Helix board of directors (or committee thereof) will take into account any changes to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement proposed by Forian in response to a notice of superior proposal.
Nothing contained in the merger agreement will prevent Helix or the Helix board of directors (or any committee thereof) from issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an alternative proposal (it being understood that such a “stop, look and listen” statement by the Helix board of directors to its stockholders will not be deemed to be an adverse recommendation change) or from making any disclosure to Helix’s stockholders if the Helix board of directors (or any committee thereof), after consultation with outside legal counsel, concludes that its failure to do so would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, a factually accurate public statement that describes Helix’s receipt of an alternative proposal and the operation of the merger agreement with respect thereto will not be deemed an adverse recommendation change.
Efforts to Obtain Required Stockholder Vote
Helix, as soon as practicable following the effective date of the Registration Statement on Form S-4, of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, will duly call, give notice of, convene, and hold a meeting of the Helix stockholders for the purpose of (i) obtaining the approval of the Helix merger proposal by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Helix common stock entitled to vote thereon, (ii) approval of the Helix merger-related compensation proposal and (iii) approval of the Helix adjournment proposal.
Helix will (A) file the definitive proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC and cause this proxy statement/prospectus to be mailed to the Helix stockholders and to hold the Helix stockholder meeting as promptly as practicable (and in any event within five (5) business days) after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act and (B) except if the Helix board of directors will have made a Helix adverse recommendation change, solicit the approval of the Helix merger proposal by the Helix stockholders.
Helix will, through the Helix board of directors, recommend to the Helix stockholders that they vote for adoption of the Helix merger proposal and will include such recommendation in this proxy statement/prospectus, except to the extent that the Helix board of directors will have made a Helix adverse recommendation change as contemplated in the merger agreement and discussed below in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement – Acquisition Proposals” beginning on page 74.
Helix may adjourn or postpone the Helix stockholder meeting (i) to the extent necessary to ensure that any necessary supplement or amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus is provided to the Helix stockholders in advance of a vote on the Helix merger proposal or (ii) if, as of the time for which the Helix stockholder meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus), there are insufficient Helix stockholders represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such Helix stockholder meeting or there are insufficient votes to obtain the adoption of the merger agreement. In addition, Helix may postpone or adjourn the special meeting (i) with the consent of Forian, (ii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that Helix has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, is necessary under applicable law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by Helix stockholders prior to the special meeting or (iii) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the Helix merger proposal.
Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance
For a period of six (6) years from and after the effective time, Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger, will (and Forian will cause Helix to) either maintain in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by Helix or Helix’s subsidiaries or provide substitute policies for Helix and Helix’s subsidiaries and its and their respective current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors’ and officers’ and fiduciary liability insurance
76

TABLE OF CONTENTS

coverage currently maintained by Helix or Helix’s subsidiaries, in either case, with terms (including with respect to coverage, limits, conditions, retentions and amounts) that are substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable, in the aggregate, than those of Helix’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance coverage in effect on the date of the merger agreement with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the effective time (with insurance carriers having at least the same or better rating as Helix’s current insurance carrier for such insurance policies), except that in no event will Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger, be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies annual premiums in excess of 300% of the annual premium most recently paid by Helix prior to the date of the merger agreement (which we refer to as the maximum amount), and if Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger, is unable to obtain the insurance required by the merger agreement, it will (and Forian will cause Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger, to) obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Amount. In lieu of such insurance, prior to the closing date of the merger, Helix may, subject Forian’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), purchase “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance for Helix and its current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors’ and officers’ and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by Helix, such tail insurance to provide limits not less than the existing coverage and to have other terms not less favorable to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by Helix with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the effective time; provided, that, in no event will the annual cost of any such tail insurance exceed the maximum amount; provided, further, that Helix’s procurement of such “tail” policy will be deemed to satisfy in full the obligations of Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger, to procure such insurance. Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger, will (and Forian will cause Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger, to) maintain such policies in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement.
For a period of six (6) years from and after the effective time (which we refer to as the indemnity period), Forian agrees that all rights to indemnification, reimbursement, advancement of legal fees and expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the effective time now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of Helix and Helix’s subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) and any indemnification or other similar agreements of Helix or any of Helix’s Subsidiaries, in each case as in effect on the date of the merger agreement and the closing date of the merger, will continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms (it being agreed that after the closing of the merger, such rights will be mandatory rather than permissive, if applicable). Forian will cause the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or governing documents of Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger, and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation that are no less favorable to the current or former directors, officers or employees of Helix and Helix’s subsidiaries than those set forth in the certificates of incorporation and bylaws of Helix and Helix’s subsidiaries’ (or equivalent organizational and governing documents) as of the date of the merger agreement, which provisions thereafter until the end of the indemnity period will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any current or former directors, officers or employees of Helix and Helix’s Subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing, during the indemnity period, Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger, agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless each individual who was prior to or is as of the date of the merger agreement, or who becomes prior to the effective time, a director or officer of Helix or any of Helix’s subsidiaries or who was prior to or is as of the closing date of the merger, or who thereafter commences prior to the effective time, serving at the request of Helix or any of Helix’s Subsidiaries as a director or officer of another person or entity (which we refer to as an indemnified party), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines and fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the effective time (including the merger agreement and the merger and the other transactions and actions contemplated by the merger agreement)), arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the indemnified party is or was a director or officer of Helix or any Helix subsidiary or is or was serving at the request of Helix or any Helix subsidiary as a director or officer of another person or entity prior to the effective time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the effective time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law; provided, that such indemnification will be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under applicable law. In the event of
77

TABLE OF CONTENTS

any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, (x) each indemnified party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding from Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger, within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt by Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger, from the indemnified party of a request therefor; provided that any person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, if and only to the extent required by the DGCL or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) or any such indemnification agreement or similar agreement of or with, as the case may be, Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by final non-appealable adjudication that such person is not entitled to indemnification and (y) Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger, and such indemnified party will cooperate with each other in the defense of any such matter.
Employee Benefits Matters
In the merger agreement, Forian agreed that, for a period of at least six (6) months following the effective time, it will, or it will cause Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger, to provide each employee of Helix or any of its subsidiaries who continues as of the effective time to be employed by Forian, Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger, or any Forian subsidiary (which we refer to as a continuing employee) with compensation and benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the compensation and benefits (other than severance and equity compensation and other long-term incentives) that were provided to such continuing employee immediately prior to the effective time.
For purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accruals (with respect to benefit accruals, solely for the purposes of determining accrual of vacation, paid time off, and severance benefits), under the Forian benefit plans providing benefits to any continuing employee following the effective time, Forian will, and will cause Helix, as the surviving corporation in the merger to, cause service rendered by each continuing employee to Helix prior to the effective time to be credited for such purposes to the same extent as such continuing employee was entitled, prior to the effective time, to credit for such service under any similar Helix benefit plan; provided, however, that in no event will continuing employees be entitled to service credit to the extent such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service.
Forian will (i) cause each continuing employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all Forian benefit plans to the extent coverage under such Forian benefit plan replaces coverage under a comparable Helix benefit plan in which such continuing employee participated immediately before the effective time; and (ii) for purposes of each Forian benefit plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any continuing employee from and after the effective time, (A) cause all pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, waiting periods and actively at work requirements of such Forian benefit plan to be waived for such continuing employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, waiting periods or actively at work requirements were waived or satisfied under the comparable Helix benefit plan and (B) recognize, or cause to be recognized, any eligible expenses incurred by such continuing employee and his or her covered dependents under a Helix benefit plan during the portion of the plan year prior to the effective time to be taken into account under such Forian benefit plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, co-insurance, co-payment and maximum out of pocket requirements applicable to such continuing employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Forian benefit plan.
Conditions of the Merger
The obligations of Forian and Helix to complete the merger depend on a number of conditions being satisfied or waived. These conditions include:
Helix stockholders’ approval of the merger agreement;
The effectiveness of the registration statement filed on Form S-4 of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part and no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof will have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose will have been initiated or threatened by the SEC;

Termination of the Merger Agreement
The merger agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the effective time under the following circumstances:
by mutual written consent of Helix and Forian;
by either Helix or Forian:
if the Merger is not consummated on or before February 26, 2021, provided, that, the right to terminate the merger agreement will not be available to a party if its action or failure to act constitutes a material breach or violation of any of its covenants, agreements or other obligations hereunder and such material breach or violation has been the principal cause of or directly resulted in the failure to satisfy the conditions to the obligations of the terminating party to consummate the merger prior to February 26, 2021 or the failure of the closing of the merger to occur by February 26, 2021;
if an applicable law, order, preliminary, temporary or permanent, or other legal restraint or prohibition and no action, proceeding, binding order, decree or determination by any governmental entity is in effect that prevents, enjoins, makes illegal or prohibits the consummation of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement;
if Helix stockholder approval of the merger is not obtained at the Helix special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof at which the vote was taken on the merger; or
79

TABLE OF CONTENTS

if all of the conditions to closing have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied (or waived) at the closing, which conditions would be reasonably capable of being satisfied at such time) and Forian is unable to satisfy its obligation to effect the closing at such time because a private offering by MOR of equity interests or other securities of MOR on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to MOR in its sole discretion, resulting in net proceeds to MOR (after deducting applicable fees, expenses, charges and discounts) in the aggregate amount of at least $11,000,000 cannot be completed prior to the closing date.
By Helix, if Forian or Merger Sub has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in the merger agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Forian or Merger Sub has become untrue, in each case, such that the closing conditions, could not be satisfied as of the closing date; provided, however, that Helix may not terminate the merger agreement unless any such breach or failure to be true has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice by Helix to Forian informing Forian of such breach or failure to be true, except that no cure period will be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured prior to February 26, 2021; and provided, further, that Helix may not terminate the merger agreement pursuant if Helix is then in breach of the merger agreement in any material respect;
by Helix prior to the receipt of Helix’s stockholder approval in order to enter into a definitive written agreement providing for a superior proposal if Helix has complied in all material respects with the merger agreement; provided, that, Helix pays the applicable termination fee prior to or simultaneously with such termination and enters into such definitive written agreement for such superior proposal simultaneously with such termination of the merger agreement;
by Forian, if Helix has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in the merger agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Helix has become untrue, in each case, such that the closing conditions, could not be satisfied as of the closing date; provided, however, that Forian may not terminate the merger agreement unless any such breach or failure to be true has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice by Forian to Helix of such breach or failure to be true, except that no cure period will be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured prior to February 26, 2021; and provided, further, Forian may not terminate the merger agreement if Forian is then in breach of the merger agreement in any material respect;
by Forian, prior to the Helix special meeting or, if such meeting is adjourned, the reconvening of such meeting, in the event that the Helix board made a change in board recommendation;
by Forian, if Helix has materially breached its obligations regarding non-solicitation and alternative proposals;
by Forian, if Helix has not divested its guarding business at least fifteen (15) business days prior to February 26, 2021; or
by Forian, if The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC informs Forian that the shares of Forian common stock are not, or will not be, approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, whether or not such decision is subject to appeal.
Expenses and Termination Fees
Generally, each party is required to pay all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the merger and the other transactions and agreements contemplated by the merger agreement. However, upon a termination of the merger agreement, a party will become obligated to pay to the other party a termination fee in certain circumstances.
The merger agreement provides that, upon termination of the merger agreement under specified circumstances, Helix will be required to pay Forian a termination fee equal to the greater of (a) $1,365,000 and (b) the aggregate amount of all costs, fees and expenses incurred by Forian and its affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The merger agreement provides that, upon termination of the merger agreement under specified circumstances, Helix will be required to reimburse Forian the aggregate amount of all costs, fees and expenses incurred by Forian and its affiliates in connection with the transactions

contemplated by the merger agreement. The merger agreement provides that, upon termination of the merger agreement under specified circumstances, Forian will be required to pay Helix a termination fee of $500,000.
Amendments, Extensions and Waivers
Subject to compliance with applicable law, the merger agreement may be amended by a written agreement of the parties at any time before or after receipt of the Helix stockholder approval, except that after Helix stockholder approval has been received, there may not be any further amendment that by law requires the further approval of the Helix stockholders.
A party may (i) extend the time for performance of any obligation or act of any other party, (ii) waive any inaccuracy in a representation or warranty of any other party, (ii) extend the time for performance of any obligation or act of any other party, (iii) waive compliance by the other party with any of the covenants and agreements contained in the merger agreement or (iv) waive the satisfaction of any of its conditions contained in the merger agreement. No extension or waiver by Helix is permitted if it would require the approval of Helix’s stockholders unless such approval is required by law.
No Third-Party Beneficiaries
The merger agreement is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than with respect to certain limited sections of the merger agreement which are enforceable by the financing sources to the extent related to the debt financing.
Specific Performance
The parties have agreed in the merger agreement that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of the merger agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. The parties have agreed that they will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the merger agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of its terms and provisions, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties have further agreed to waive the requirement of any posting of a bond in connection with these remedies.
Explanatory Note Regarding the Merger Agreement and the Summary of the Merger Agreement: REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS IN THE MERGER AGREEMENT ARE NOT INTENDED TO FUNCTION AS PUBLIC DISCLOSURES.
The merger agreement and the summary of its terms in this proxy statement/prospectus have been included only to provide you with information about the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. The terms and information in the merger agreement are not intended to provide any other public disclosure of factual information about Forian, MOR or Helix or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates or businesses. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the merger agreement are made by Forian and Helix only for purposes of the merger agreement, and as of specific dates, and were qualified and subject to certain limitations and exceptions agreed to by Forian and Helix in connection with negotiating the terms of the merger agreement. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the merger agreement and were negotiated for the purpose of allocating contractual risk among the parties to the merger agreement rather than to establish matters as facts. Stockholders of Helix and stockholders of Forian are not third-party beneficiaries under the merger agreement. The representations and warranties may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality or material adverse effect different from those generally applicable to stockholders and reports and documents filed with the SEC, and, in some cases, they may be qualified by disclosures made by one party to the other, which are not necessarily reflected in the merger agreement or other public disclosures made by Forian or Helix. The representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement do not survive the effective time. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants, which does not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, may have changed since the date of the merger agreement, and subsequent developments or new information may not be fully reflected in public disclosures of Forian or Helix.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER AND THE CONTRIBUTION
General
Subject to the limitations, assumptions and qualifications described herein, the following discussion and legal conclusions contained herein constitute and represent the opinion of Duane Morris LLP, counsel to Forian, as to the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of (i) the merger to “U.S. holders” (as defined below) of Helix common stock who exchange such stock for shares of Forian common stock pursuant to the merger and (ii) the contribution to the U.S. holders of MOR equity interests who exchange such interests for shares of Forian common stock pursuant to the contribution. This discussion is based upon the Code, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Such a change could affect the continuing validity of this summary. No assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences set forth below.
The following summary addresses only those U.S. holders that hold their Helix common stock or MOR equity interest, as applicable, as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. Further, this summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular Helix stockholders or MOR members in light of their individual circumstances or to Helix stockholders or MOR members that are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without limitation: banks and certain other financial institutions; tax-exempt organizations; S corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities (or an investor in an S corporation, partnership or other pass-through entity); accrual-basis taxpayers that are subject to special accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code; insurance companies; mutual funds; dealers or brokers in stocks or securities, commodities or foreign currencies; any person who is not a U.S. holder (as defined below); a trader in securities who elects the mark-to-market method of accounting for the securities; persons that hold shares or equity interests as part of a hedge, a straddle or a constructive sale or conversion transaction or other integrated investment; regulated investment companies; real estate investment trusts; controlled foreign corporations or passive foreign investment companies; former citizens or residents of the United States; U.S. expatriates; persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; persons that have a negative capital account balance in their MOR equity interests; persons who acquired their Helix common stock or MOR equity interests through a tax-qualified retirement plan or pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or similar securities or otherwise as compensation, including, without limitation, those persons who hold MOR equity interests that were granted to them as a “profits interest” for U.S. federal income tax purposes; Helix shareholders who exercise dissenter’s rights; persons who actually or constructively own more than 5% of Helix voting stock; and holders of Helix or MOR stock options, stock warrants or debt instruments.
In addition, the discussion does not address any tax consequences arising under any alternative minimum tax or any state, local or foreign tax, or under any U.S. federal laws other than those pertaining to the income tax, nor does it address any tax consequences arising under the unearned income Medicare contribution tax pursuant to the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, or any withholding considerations under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (including the U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and intergovernmental agreements entered into pursuant thereto or in connection therewith).
For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of Helix common stock or MOR equity interests that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is:
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income regardless of the source; or
a trust (i) that is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and all the substantial decisions of which are controlled by one or more United States persons or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Helix common stock or MOR equity interests, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is a Helix stockholder or MOR member, and any partners in such partnership, should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the merger and the contribution to their specific circumstances.
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OR DISCUSSION OF ALL OF THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER AND THE CONTRIBUTION. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF THE MERGER AND THE CONTRIBUTION, INCLUDING TAX RETURN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX LAWS IN LIGHT OF YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
General
Duane Morris LLP has opined that, based upon facts, representations and assumptions set forth in its opinion: (i) the merger constitutes a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, (ii) Forian and Helix will each be a party to that reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code and (iii) the merger and contribution taken together qualify as a transaction governed under Section 351 of the Code.
This opinion will be based on customary assumptions and representations from Helix and MOR, as well as certain covenants and undertakings by Forian, Helix, MOR and Merger Sub (collectively, the “tax opinion representations and assumptions”). If any of the tax opinion representations and assumptions is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate or is violated, the validity of the opinion described above may be affected and the tax consequences of the merger and the contribution could differ from those described in this proxy statement/prospectus.
An opinion of counsel represents counsel’s best legal judgment but is not binding on the IRS or any court, so there can be no certainty that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions reflected in the opinion or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. Neither Helix nor MOR intends to obtain a ruling from the IRS regarding the qualification of merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or the qualification of the merger and contribution taken together as a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will agree with the views expressed herein, or that a court will not sustain any challenge by the IRS in the event of litigation. The remainder of this discussion under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Helix Common Stock and MOR equity interests” assumes that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the merger will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the merger and contribution taken together will qualify as a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Helix Common Stock and MOR Equity Interests
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. holder of Helix common stock or MOR equity interests that receives shares of Forian common stock in the merger or the contribution, as applicable:
will recognize no gain or loss upon the exchange of shares of Helix common stock or MOR equity interests for shares of Forian common stock in the merger or the contribution, respectively;
will have a tax basis in the Forian common stock received in the merger or the contribution equal to the tax basis of the Helix common stock or MOR equity interests, respectively, surrendered in exchange therefor; and
will have a holding period for shares of Forian common stock received in the merger or the contribution that includes its holding period for its shares of Helix common stock or MOR equity interests, respectively, surrendered in exchange therefor.
U.S. holders that acquired different blocks of Helix common stock or MOR equity interests at different times or different prices should consult their tax advisor regarding the manner in which gain or loss should be determined in their specific circumstances.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

APPRAISAL RIGHTS OF HELIX STOCKHOLDERS
Under the DGCL, if you do not wish to accept the merger consideration provided for in the merger agreement for your shares of Helix common stock, you have the right to seek appraisal of your shares and to receive payment in cash for the fair value of your shares, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be fair value. The “fair value” of your shares of Helix common stock as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery may be more or less than, or the same as, the merger consideration that you are otherwise entitled to receive under the terms of the merger agreement. These rights are known as appraisal rights. Strict compliance with the statutory procedures in Section 262 of the DGCL is required. Failure to follow precisely any of the statutory requirements will result in the loss of your appraisal rights. Stockholders wishing to exercise the right to seek an appraisal of their shares of Helix common stock must do ALL of the following:
The stockholder must not vote in favor of the Helix merger proposal. Because a proxy received that does not contain voting instructions will, unless revoked, be voted in favor of the Helix merger proposal, a stockholder who votes by proxy and who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must vote against the Helix merger proposal or abstain;
The stockholder must deliver to Helix a written demand for appraisal before the vote on the Helix merger proposal at the special meeting;
The stockholder must continuously hold the shares from the date of making the demand through the effective time. A stockholder will lose appraisal rights if the stockholder transfers the shares before the effective time; and
The stockholder or the surviving corporation must file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery requesting a determination of the fair value of the shares within 120 days after the effective time. The surviving corporation is under no obligation to file any petition and has no intention of doing so.
This section is intended as a brief summary of the material provisions of the Delaware statutory procedures that a stockholder must follow in order to seek and perfect appraisal rights. This summary, however, is not a complete statement of all applicable requirements, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262 of the DGCL, the full text of which appears in Appendix D to this proxy statement/prospectus. The following summary does not constitute any legal or other advice, nor does it constitute a recommendation that stockholders exercise their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL.
Section 262 of the DGCL requires that, when a merger agreement is to be submitted for adoption at a meeting of stockholders, the stockholders be notified, not less than 20 days before the meeting to vote on the merger, that appraisal rights will be available. A copy of Section 262 of the DGCL must be included with such notice. This proxy statement/prospectus constitutes Helix’s notice to its stockholders that appraisal rights are available in connection with the merger, in compliance with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL. If you wish to consider exercising your appraisal rights, you should carefully review the text of Section 262 of the DGCL contained in Appendix D. Failure to comply timely and properly with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL will result in the loss of your appraisal rights under the DGCL.
If you elect to demand appraisal of your shares of Helix common stock, (i) you must deliver to Helix a written demand for appraisal of your shares of Helix common stock before the vote is taken on the Helix merger proposal, which must reasonably inform Helix of the identity of the holder of record of Helix common stock and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand appraisal of his, her or its shares of Helix common stock, (ii) you must not vote or submit a proxy in favor of the Helix merger proposal, (iii) you must continuously hold the shares from the date of making the demand through the effective time and (iv) you or the surviving corporation must file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery requesting a determination of the fair value of the shares within 120 days after the effective time. The surviving corporation is under no obligation to file any petition and has no intention of doing so. If you fail to comply with any of these conditions and the merger is completed, you will be entitled to receive the consideration for your shares of Helix common stock as provided for in the merger agreement, but you will have no appraisal rights with respect to your shares of Helix common stock.
A holder of shares of Helix common stock wishing to exercise appraisal rights must hold of record the shares of Helix common stock on the date the written demand for appraisal is made and must continue to hold
85

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the shares of Helix common stock of record through the effective time, because appraisal rights will be lost if the shares of Helix common stock are transferred prior to the effective time. Voting against or failing to vote for the Helix merger proposal by itself does not constitute a demand for appraisal within the meaning of Section 262 of the DGCL. A proxy that is submitted and does not contain voting instructions will, unless revoked, be voted in favor of the Helix merger proposal, and it will constitute a waiver of the stockholder’s right of appraisal and will nullify any previously delivered written demand for appraisal. Therefore, a stockholder who submits a proxy and who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must either submit a proxy containing instructions to vote against the Helix merger proposal or abstain from voting on the Helix merger proposal. The written demand for appraisal must be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote on the Helix merger proposal.
All demands for appraisal should be addressed to Helix Technologies, Inc., 5300 DTC Parkway, Suite 300, Greenwood Village, CO 80111, Attention: Corporate Secretary, and must be delivered before the vote is taken on the Helix merger proposal at the special meeting, and should be executed by, or on behalf of, the record holder of the shares of Helix common stock. The demand must reasonably inform Helix of the identity of the stockholder and the intention of the stockholder to demand appraisal of his, her or its shares of Helix common stock.
To be effective, a demand for appraisal by a stockholder of Helix must be made by, or in the name of, the record stockholder, fully and correctly, as the stockholder’s name appears on the stockholder’s stock certificate(s) or in the transfer agent’s records, in the case of uncertificated shares. The demand cannot be made by the beneficial owner if he or she does not also hold the shares of Helix common stock of record. The beneficial holder must, in such cases, have the registered owner, such as a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, submit the required demand in respect of those shares of Helix common stock. If you hold your shares of Helix common stock through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee and you wish to exercise appraisal rights, you should consult with your bank, brokerage firm or the other nominee to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal by the nominee.
If shares of Helix common stock are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of a demand for appraisal must be executed by or on behalf of the holder of record. If the shares of Helix common stock are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand should be executed by or for all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an authorized agent for two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner or owners and expressly disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, he or she is acting as agent for the record owner. A record owner, such as a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, who holds shares of Helix common stock as a nominee for others, may exercise his or her right of appraisal with respect to the shares of Helix common stock held for one or more beneficial owners, while not exercising this right for other beneficial owners. In that case, the written demand should state the number of shares of Helix common stock as to which appraisal is sought. Where no number of shares of Helix common stock is expressly mentioned, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares of Helix common stock held in the name of the record owner.
Within 10 days after the effective time, the surviving corporation must give notice of the date that the merger has become effective to each of the Helix stockholders who have properly filed a written demand for appraisal and who did not vote in favor of the Helix merger proposal. At any time within 60 days after the effective time, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined a proceeding as a named party may withdraw the demand and accept the merger consideration specified by the merger agreement for that stockholder’s shares of Helix common stock by delivering to the surviving corporation a written withdrawal of the demand for appraisal. However, any such attempt to withdraw the demand made more than 60 days after the effective time will require written approval of the surviving corporation. Unless the demand is properly withdrawn by the stockholder within 60 days after the effective date of the merger, no appraisal proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery will be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery, with such approval conditioned upon such terms as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems just. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal petition or joined the proceeding as a named party may withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and accept the merger consideration within 60 days after the effective time.
Within 120 days after the effective time, but not thereafter, either the surviving corporation or any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of Section 262 and is entitled to appraisal rights under
86

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Section 262 may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the shares of Helix common stock held by all stockholders entitled to appraisal. Upon the filing of the petition by a stockholder, service of a copy of such petition will be made upon the surviving corporation. The surviving corporation has no obligation to file such a petition and has no present intention to file such a petition, and holders should not assume that the surviving corporation will file a petition. Accordingly, the holders of Helix common stock who desire to have their shares appraised should initiate all necessary action to perfect their appraisal rights within the time and manner prescribed by Section 262. In addition, within 120 days after the effective time, any stockholder who has properly filed a written demand for appraisal and who has complied with all requirements for exercising appraisal rights, upon written request, will be entitled to receive from the surviving corporation, a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares of Helix common stock not voted in favor of the Helix merger proposal and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. The statement must be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such written request has been received by the surviving corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later. A person who is the beneficial owner of shares of Helix common stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition for appraisal or request from the surviving corporation such statement. As noted above, however, the demand for appraisal can only be made by a holder of record.
If a petition for appraisal is duly filed by a stockholder and a copy of the petition is delivered to the surviving corporation, then the surviving corporation will be obligated, within 20 days after receiving service of a copy of the petition, to file with the Delaware Register in Chancery a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded an appraisal of their shares of Helix common stock and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares of Helix common stock have not been reached. After notice to stockholders who have demanded appraisal, if such notice is ordered by the Delaware Court of Chancery, the Delaware Court of Chancery is empowered to conduct a hearing upon the petition and to determine those stockholders who have complied with Section 262 of the DGCL and who have become entitled to the appraisal rights provided by Section 262 of the DGCL. The Delaware Court of Chancery may require stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares of Helix common stock and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their stock certificates to the Register in Chancery for notation of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with that direction, the Delaware Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to that stockholder.
After the Delaware Court of Chancery determines which stockholders are entitled to appraisal of their shares of Helix common stock, the appraisal proceeding will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Delaware Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding, the Delaware Court of Chancery will appraise the shares of Helix common stock, determining their fair value as of the effective time after taking into account all relevant factors exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. When the value is determined, the Delaware Court of Chancery will direct the payment of such value together with interest, if any, to Helix stockholders entitled to receive the same (in the case of shares represented by certificates, payment will not be made until following surrender of such certificates). Unless the Delaware Court of Chancery in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment will be compounded quarterly and will accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective time and the date of payment of the judgment.
You should be aware that an investment banking opinion as to fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration is not necessarily an opinion as to fair value under Section 262 of the DGCL. No representation is made as to the outcome of an appraisal of fair value by the Delaware Court of Chancery and stockholders should recognize that such an appraisal could result in a determination of a value higher or lower than, or the same as, the merger consideration. Moreover, Helix, or the surviving corporation, reserves the right to assert, in any appraisal proceeding, that, for purposes of Section 262 of DGCL, the “fair value” of a share of Helix common stock is less than the merger consideration. In determining “fair value,” the Delaware Court of Chancery is required to take into account all relevant factors. In Weinberger v. UOP, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court discussed the factors that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal
87

TABLE OF CONTENTS

proceeding, stating that “proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court” should be considered and that “[f]air price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company.” The Delaware Supreme Court has stated that in making this determination of fair value the court must consider market value, asset value, dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts which could be ascertained as of the date of the merger which throw any light on future prospects of the merged corporation. Section 262 of the DGCL provides that fair value is to be “exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger.” In Cede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court stated that such exclusion is a “narrow exclusion [that] does not encompass known elements of value,” but which rather applies only to the speculative elements of value arising from such accomplishment or expectation. In Weinberger, the Delaware Supreme Court construed Section 262 of the DGCL to mean that “elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the merger and not the product of speculation, may be considered.” In addition, the Delaware Court of Chancery has decided that the statutory appraisal remedy, depending on the factual circumstances, may or may not be a dissenter’s exclusive remedy.
The costs of the appraisal proceeding (which do not include attorneys’ fees or the fees and expenses of experts) may be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and taxed upon the parties as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon the application of a stockholder, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees and expenses of experts used in the appraisal proceeding, to be charged pro rata against the value of all shares of Helix common stock entitled to appraisal. Any stockholder who demanded appraisal rights will not, after the effective time, be entitled to vote shares of Helix common stock subject to that demand for any purpose or to receive payments of dividends or any other distribution with respect to those shares of Helix common stock, other than with respect to payment as of a record date prior to the effective time. However, if no petition for appraisal is filed within 120 days after the effective time, or if the stockholder otherwise fails to perfect, successfully withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal, then the right of that stockholder to appraisal will cease and that stockholder will be entitled to receive the merger consideration (without interest) for his, her or its shares of Helix common stock pursuant to the merger agreement.
STOCKHOLDERS WHO HOLD THEIR SHARES IN BROKERAGE OR BANK ACCOUNTS OR OTHER NOMINEE FORMS, AND WHO WISH TO EXERCISE APPRAISAL RIGHTS, SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR BROKERS, BANKS AND NOMINEES, AS APPLICABLE, TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE PROCEDURES FOR THE BROKER, BANK OR OTHER NOMINEE HOLDER TO MAKE A DEMAND FOR APPRAISAL OF THOSE SHARES. A PERSON HAVING A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN SHARES HELD OF RECORD IN THE NAME OF ANOTHER PERSON, SUCH AS A BROKER, BANK OR OTHER NOMINEE, MUST ACT PROMPTLY TO CAUSE THE RECORD HOLDER TO FOLLOW PROPERLY AND IN A TIMELY MANNER THE STEPS NECESSARY TO PERFECT APPRAISAL RIGHTS.
In view of the complexity of Section 262 of the DGCL, Helix stockholders who may wish to pursue appraisal rights should consult their own legal and financial advisors.

THE CONTRIBUTION
Terms of the Contribution
The Contribution
Immediately prior to the effective time, the equity holders of MOR will contribute 100% of the equity interests of MOR to Forian in exchange for shares of Forian common stock. As a result, MOR will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forian.
Terms of the Contribution
Upon completion of the contribution and the merger, the former members of MOR will hold, in the aggregate, approximately 78% of the outstanding common stock of Forian.
Each unit of MOR will be contributed to Forian in exchange for 0.9709 shares of Forian common stock, which is referred to herein as the contribution exchange ratio. If the number of shares of common stock of Forian changes before the contribution is completed because of a reclassification, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar event, then a proportionate adjustment will be made to the contribution exchange ratio.
The Contribution Agreement
The following is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the contribution agreement. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the contribution agreement that is important to you. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the contribution agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix B to, and incorporated by reference into, this proxy statement/prospectus. The rights and obligations of the parties are governed by the express terms and conditions of the contribution agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus. We recommend that you read the contribution agreement carefully and in its entirety before making any decisions regarding the merger.
Closing
The closing of the contribution will take place remotely via the electronic transmittal of executed documents immediately prior to the consummation of the merger. The date on which the closing occurs is referred to herein as the closing date.
Reorganization
At the closing of the contribution, each equity holder of MOR will contribute and transfer their respective equity interest in MOR to Forian, free and clear of all liens. In consideration of such contribution and transfer, Forian will accept from each equity holder the MOR membership interests held by such equity holder in exchange for issuing to such equity holder shares of Forian common stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.9709 per share of Forian common stock for each unit of MOR, subject, in the case of profits interests, to satisfaction of the applicable threshold amount for such profits interests. Any unvested profits interests in MOR, to the extent the threshold amount applicable to such profits interests is satisfied, will be exchanged for unvested shares of Forian common stock that will vest in substantially the same manner as such profits interests would have vested had they not been exchanged for Forian common stock. In the aggregate, 12,531,044 shares of Forian common stock will be issued to the equity holders of MOR at the closing of the contribution.
Representations and Warranties
The contribution agreement contains representations and warranties made by MOR, Forian and each equity holder. These include, among other things, representations and warranties regarding:
organization, corporate power, good standing and qualification to do business of Forian and MOR (as applicable);
authority to execute and deliver and perform its obligations under, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, the merger agreement and the enforceability of the merger agreement against the party;
89

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the consents and approvals required in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement;
absence of certain litigation and governmental orders;
capitalization of MOR; and
no brokers.
The assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the contribution agreement were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the merger agreement. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the contribution agreement are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts about Forian, MOR or the other parties at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Conditions of the Contribution
The obligations of Forian, MOR and the equity holders to complete the contribution depend on a number of conditions being satisfied or waived. These conditions include:
The accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties as of the effective time of the contribution;
The performance in all material respects of all obligations contained in the contribution agreement required to be performed at or before the effective time of the contribution; and
The conditions to the closing of the merger set forth in the merger agreement will have been satisfied or waived.
We cannot be certain when, or if, the conditions to the contribution will be satisfied or waived, or that the contribution will be completed.

Industry and Regulatory Background
In the 1930’s, Congress made marijuana illegal on the federal level, and it was scheduled as a narcotic. In the 1960s and 1970s, as the popularity of marijuana use grew, states began to realize that they needed drug policies consistent with the community and consumer use of marijuana. Under the Federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970, marijuana is currently classified as a “Schedule I” controlled substance. The level of enforcement in states varies widely regarding marijuana.
In 1996, Oregon and California passed legislation that legalized the possession and consumption of marijuana use for medical purposes. As of December 31, 2019, thirty-three states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana in one form or another. The Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska state policies to legalize recreational marijuana were not challenged by federal authorities, which was largely due to the guidance put forth in the August 29, 2013 memorandum from James Cole, the U.S. Deputy Attorney General, titled “Guidance Regarding Marijuana Enforcement” (the “Cole Memo”). This memorandum states that federal enforcement agencies are unlikely to enforce the Controlled Substances Act in states where marijuana has been legalized, and where the regulation and control is functional. As of December 31, 2019, eleven states and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational cannabis use.
On the federal level, marijuana has been considered an illegal substance since 1930. This has caused various impediments to the marijuana industry, the most prominent of which is in banking. Although the U.S. Treasury has provided guidance intended to give banks the confidence that they can work with marijuana businesses in legal cannabis states, many banks are still reluctant to do so.
According to a recent report, Legal Marijuana Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Medical Cannabis, Recreational Cannabis), By Product Type, By Medical Application (Cancer, Mental Disorders), And Segment Forecasts, 2019 - 2025, “The global legal marijuana market size was estimated at USD 13.8 billion in 2018 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 23.9% by 2025. Growing legalization in various countries is primarily driving the market. Furthermore, rising adoption of cannabis as a medical product for treating conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease, cancer, arthritis, and neurological disorders is also expected to fuel revenue growth in the forthcoming years.”
Furthering the growth of the legal cannabis industry, The House Judiciary Committee has approved a bill that would decriminalize marijuana at the federal level. The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act of 2019, or MORE Act, passed 24-10. The bill is now awaiting to be heard by the full House of Representatives.
Upon successful legalization at a federal level, cannabis will be further scrutinized with additional complex regulatory compliance as markets emerge and interstate/international commerce become prevalent.
Government Regulation
Marijuana is categorized as a “Schedule I” controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement Agency and the U.S. Department of Justice. It is currently illegal to grow, possess, sell, purchase, and/or consume cannabis under Federal law. A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as a substance that has no currently accepted medicinal

use in the United States, a lack of safety for use under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. The Department of Justice also characterizes Schedule I controlled substances as the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules with potentially severe psychological and/or physical dependence.
Despite this, thirty-three states and the District of Columbia have enacted state laws that allow the medicinal use of cannabis, 11 of those states also have laws that allow for the personal use and possession of cannabis by adults 21 and over. During the 2020 election 5 states voted on state level ballot measures, these measures added adult use in 3 states, medical and adult use in 1, and medical use in another bringing the total to 35 states and DC with medical cannabis laws and 14 with adult use laws, once the ballot initiatives take effect. As a result of the foregoing, an unpredictable business environment has been created for cannabis companies that can legally operate under state laws but are nonetheless openly in violation of Federal laws. On August 29, 2013, United States Deputy Attorney General James Cole issued the Cole Memo to United States Attorneys guiding them to prioritize enforcement of Federal law away from the cannabis industry operating as permitted under state law, so long as:
cannabis is not being distributed to minors and dispensaries are not located around schools and public buildings;
the proceeds from sales are not going to gangs, cartels or criminal enterprises;
cannabis grown in states where it is legal is not being diverted to other states;
cannabis-related businesses are not being used as a cover for sales of other illegal drugs or illegal activity;
there is not any violence or use of fire-arms in the cultivation and sale of marijuana;
there is strict enforcement of drugged-driving laws and adequate prevention of adverse health consequences; and
cannabis is not grown, used, or possessed on Federal properties.
In January 2018, the Trump administration rescinded the Obama-era directive of easing federal enforcement on legalized marijuana usage. The subsequent departure of Jeff Sessions as Attorney General has signaled to the industry a potential softening of the federal government’s stance, and the recent introduction of a banking bill that would allow the cannabis industry to obtain banking services if enacted into law would also be a positive step.
The Market
The market for Helix’ full suite of critical infrastructure services encompasses all licensed cannabis operators in locations where medical or recreational cannabis has been legalized. As more states and countries begin the decriminalization and legalization process, new markets continue to emerge resulting in a natural expansion of our global reach.
As with any emerging market, several companies within the industry achieve a higher level of success faster and are able to scale more rapidly than others. In the cannabis space, a handful of companies hold licenses and operate throughout multiple legal markets and are referred to as Multi-State Operators (MSOs).
Within newly formed markets, MSOs apply for and are granted licenses allowing these companies to penetrate states that are initially rolling out their cannabis legalization plans.
Another tactic used by MSOs to drive consolidation in the cannabis space is to purchase active licenses from established businesses or acquire the business itself (in some cases other MSOs). Mergers and acquisitions inside the cannabis industry are commonplace and show no signs of slowing in the near future.
As more states continue towards the path of legalization, the next logical step in the expansion of the market lies in federal legalization. The conversation around this topic has been prominent in the current political conversations in Washington D.C. and several measures have already been passed lowering the threshold of federal government regulation on the industry.
Once legalization does occur at the federal level, this will in turn create an opportunity for the U.S. market to expand globally in much the same way it has domestically but with the added benefits of both interstate and international trade.

Helix currently operates in six other legal countries around the world including Canada, Jamaica, Colombia, New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom.
Sales and Marketing Strategy
As a leading provider of technology in the cannabis space it is imperative that Helix continue to develop and improve its service platforms to meet the ever-changing needs of the industry. While the legacy version of Helix BioTrack continues to be a highly sought-after business solution, Helix Technologies has been working diligently to develop a new and greatly enhanced version of the seed-to-sale tracking and dispensary point-of-sale platform.
To compliment both the legacy Helix BioTrack software as well as the new version, in the summer of 2019 Helix undertook the process of creating an in-depth data analytics and business intelligence platform, Helix Cannalytics. This platform puts the power of data to use for operators to gain more valued insights into their businesses resulting in the ability to make better informed decisions.
Along with creating new products internally, Helix currently provides infrastructure solutions for multiple MSOs and as a result their expansion in new and existing markets. Through both organic and business development avenues, Helix continues to see growth with little additional resources expended.
With focusing our efforts on key organic growth strategies, Helix remains ready to expand its services should the opportunity arise.
Helix’ multifaceted growth strategy has put Helix in a prime position to continue to take, and take back, market share from our competition. According to the 2019 Mid-Year Report: Point of Sale Software in the Cannabis Industry by Cannabiz Media, “At the end of 2018, five vendors accounted for 80% of the cannabis market…” and of the five vendors, Helix BioTrack was ranked at the top, accounting for 24% of the total market share.
In addition to expansion of both our customer base and market share, Helix has taken a concerted effort to focus on a lean, efficient growth and operations strategy. This includes the reorganization of our support department, realignment of key organizational management, and a planned company-wide rebrand to drive succinct marketing across all business lines by leveraging unified and synergistic brand messaging.
By harnessing the industry reputation that Helix BioTrack has built since 2010, Helix will continue to target nascent and emerging state markets as the primary focus of our sales and marketing strategy in the legal marijuana sector for the immediate future.
Competition
Helix BioTrack has multiple competitors. Some are focused solely on government traceability systems. Some are focused solely on point-of-sale software. Some provide all aspects of commercial software. And one company competes with BioTrack in all verticals. As the industry continues to grow, and as more geographies legalize cannabis, we expect more competitors will emerge, while some of the smaller ones will likely cease doing business or be acquired. We compete with several technology companies in a highly fragmented market that offer solutions or services that are similar to some of our services, including, but not limited to BDS Analytics, Flowhub, Greenbits, Headset, Metrc, New Frontier, and Treez.
Employees
As of December 31, 2019, we employed 216 full time employees and 31 part time employees. We believe that the employer-employee relationships in our Company are positive. We have no labor union contracts.

Legal Proceedings
Occasionally, we may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business. We record a provision for a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.
There is currently no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self- regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our Company’s or our Company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material effect on Helix, with the exception of:
Kenney, et al. v. Helix TCS, Inc.
On July 20, 2017 one former employee filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act on behalf of themselves and other employees. The plaintiffs seek damages for our alleged failure to compensate them appropriately for the overtime hours they worked as purported “non-exempt” employees. As of September 30, 2020, the claim is currently in the process of appeal.
Audet v. Green Tree International, et. al.
On February 14, 2020 John Audet filed a complaint in 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida against multiple parties, including Green Tree International (“GTI”), claiming that he owned 10% of GTI. We believe the lawsuit is wholly without merit and will defend itself from these claims vigorously. As of September 30, 2020, the case is in the process of discovery.
At this time, Helix is not able to predict the outcome of the lawsuits, any possible loss or possible range of loss associated with the lawsuits or any potential effect on Helix’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those consolidated financial statements that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. See “Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018
Overview
Helix provides the legal cannabis industry with a suite of technology that comprises an end-to-end set of critical infrastructure services built around a single foundation of regulatory compliance for all legal markets, assisting governing bodies in tracking each step of the process and helping industry operators better manage and mitigate risk while they focus on their core business. We accomplish these goals through a unique combination of logistics, risk-management, and investment skills, delivered through a proprietary software suite and partnership platform.
When combined, Helix’ full line of SaaS products allow operators to track cannabis plants and processed/manufactured cannabis products from seed-to-sale as well as provide dispensary employees with an easy to use point-of-sale system (Helix BioTrack), provide critical business insights through data analytics and business intelligence via an enhanced machine learning algorithms platform that captures data from each step in the tracking process (Helix Cannalytics), buy and sell bulk products through a compliant and safe online wholesale exchange (Helix Exchange). All while being easily accessed and managed from a single consolidated platform that seamlessly integrates with all regulatory tracking and compliance systems in every legal market.
Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
Management believes that we will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. Therefore, we may either need additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we have generated revenue and are trying to achieve positive cash flows from operations.

Revenue
Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $10,862,695, which represented an increase of $5,544,567, or 104%, compared to total revenue of $5,318,128 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase primarily resulted from the Company owning the BioTrackTHC subsidiary for 12 months in 2019 as compared to 7 months in 2018, along with an increase in the number of software clients serviced by Helix.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 primarily consisted of compensation for employees involved in the creation and development of licensing software. Cost of revenue increased by $1,892,094, or 68%, for the year ended December 31, 2019, to $4,684,969, as compared to $2,792,875 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase primarily resulted from the 5 extra months of BioTrackTHC expenses in 2019.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses encompass selling, general and administrative expenses, salaries and wages, professional and legal fees and depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of rent/moving expenses, advertising and travel expenses. Salaries and wages is composed of non-revenue generating employees. Professional services are principally comprised of outside legal, audit, information technology consulting, marketing and outsourcing services as well as the costs related to being a publicly traded company. Our operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $16,114,859 and $12,777,804, respectively. The overall $3,337,055 increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to the following increases in operating expenses of:
General and administrative expenses – $1,632,113
Salaries and wages – $111,738
Professional and legal fees – $562,476
Depreciation and amortization – $1,695,057
The $1,632,113 increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is a result of increases in rent expense, advertising and travel expenses resulting from an expansion in our operations. The $111,738 increase in salaries and wages resulted from a full year of BioTrackTHC employees. The $562,476 increase in professional
99

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and legal fees primarily resulted from an increase in legal fees and costs associated with fundraising. The $1,695,057 increase in depreciation and amortization was due to amortization of intangible assets acquired in the BioTrackTHC, Engeni and GTI acquisitions.
Other Income
Other income consisted of a gain on the change in fair value of warrant liability, gain on the change in the fair value of convertible notes, (loss) gain on the change in fair value of convertible notes – related party, loss on the change in fair value of contingent consideration, gain on reduction of obligation pursuant to acquisition, (loss) gain on issuance of warrants, and interest expense. Other income, net during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $647,730 and $2,759,052, respectively. The $2,111,322 decrease in other income, net was primarily attributable to a loss on the change in fair value of convertible notes – related party of $283,453, loss on change in fair value of contingent consideration of $880,050, loss on issuance of warrants of $825,098, interest expense of $1,690,115, and no gain on reduction of obligation pursuant to acquisition, partially offset by a gain on change in fair value of warrant liability of $3,812,977 for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Loss from Continuing Operations
For the foregoing reasons, we had a loss from continuing operations of $9,289,403 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $7,493,499 for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Loss from Discontinued Operations
Loss from discontinued operations was $290,766 and $472,303 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These losses related to the guarding business of the Company, which was subsequently sold on July 31, 2020.
Net Loss
For the foregoing reasons, we had a net loss of $9,580,169 for the year ended December 31, 2019, or $0.12 net loss per common share – basic and diluted, compared to net loss of $7,965,802 for the year ended December 31, 2018, or $0.15 net loss per common share – basic and diluted.
Convertible preferred stock beneficial conversion feature accreted as a deemed dividend
The convertible preferred stock beneficial conversion feature accreted as a deemed dividend resulted from the effective conversion price of the Series B preferred shares at issuance being less than the fair value of the common stock into which the preferred shares are convertible. The result was a non-cash charge in the amount of $0 for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $22,202,194 for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Net Loss Attributable to common shareholders
For the foregoing reasons, we had a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $9,678,061 for the year ended December 31, 2019, or $0.12 net loss per share attributable to common shareholders - basic and diluted, compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $30,150,005 for the year ended December 31, 2018, or $0.56 net loss per share attributable to common shareholders – basic and diluted.

Revenue
Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $5,318,128, which represented an increase of $4,531,048, or 576%, compared to total revenue of $787,080 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase resulted from additional revenue resulting from the BioTrackTHC acquisition.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 primarily consisted of hourly compensation for security monitoring personnel and employees involved in the creation and development of licensing software. Cost of revenue increased by $2,387,405, or 589%, for the year ended December 31, 2018, to $2,792,875, as compared to $405,470 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase resulted from the acquisition of BioTrackTHC.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses encompass selling, general and administrative expenses, salaries and wages, professional and legal fees and depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of rent/moving expenses, advertising and travel expenses. Salaries and wages is composed of non-revenue generating employees. Professional services are principally comprised of outside legal, audit, information technology consulting, marketing and outsourcing services as well as the costs related to being a publicly traded company. Our operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $12,777,804 and $3,851,294, respectively. The overall $8,926,510 increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to the following increases/(decreases) in operating expenses of:
Selling, general and administrative expenses – $1,357,186
Salaries and wages – $4,582,683
Professional and legal fees – $(282,384)
Depreciation and amortization – $2,604,696
Loss on impairment of goodwill – $664,329
The $1,357,186 increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is a result of increases in rent expense, advertising and travel expenses resulting from an expansion in our operations. The $4,582,683 increase
101

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in salaries and wages resulted from a significant increase in headcount, including BioTrackTHC and Engeni personnel. The $(282,384) decrease in professional and legal fees primarily resulted from an increase in costs associated with obtaining capital resources during the year ended December 31, 2017. The $2,604,696 increase in depreciation and amortization was due to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in the BioTrackTHC and Engeni acquisitions.
Other Income (Expense), net
Other income (expense), net consisted of a gain (loss) on the change in the fair value of convertible notes, gain on the change in fair value of convertible notes – related party, gain on the change in fair value of warrant liability, loss on the change in fair value of contingent consideration, gain on issuance of warrants, gain on reduction of obligation pursuant to acquisition, interest expense, other income, loss on sale of assets, loss on extinguishment of debt, and loss on the conversion of convertible notes. Other income (expense), net during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $2,759,052 and $(6,882,705), respectively. The $9,641,757 increase in other income (expense), net was primarily attributable to a loss on the change in fair value of contingent consideration of $131,306, offset by a gain on change in fair value of convertible notes of $450,216, gain on change in fair value of convertible notes – related party of $93,506, gain on change in fair value of warrant liability of $1,641,398, gain on the issuance of warrants of $91,778, gain on reduction of obligation pursuant to acquisition of $607,415, and other income of $6,045 for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Loss from Continuing Operations
For the foregoing reasons, we had a loss from continuing operations of $7,493,499 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $10,352,389 for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Loss from Discontinued Operations
Loss from discontinued operations was $472,303 and $313,598 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These losses related to the guarding business of the Company, which was subsequently sold on July 31, 2020.
Net Loss
For the foregoing reasons, we had a net loss of $7,965,802 for the year ended December 31, 2018, or $0.15 net loss per common share – basic and diluted, compared to net loss of $10,665,987 for the year ended December 31, 2017, or $0.37 net loss per common share – basic and diluted.
Convertible Preferred Stock Beneficial Conversion Feature Accreted as a Deemed Dividend
The convertible preferred stock beneficial conversion feature accreted as a deemed dividend resulted from the effective conversion price of the Series B preferred shares at issuance being less than the fair value of the common stock into which the preferred shares are convertible. The result was a non-cash charge in the amount of $22,202,194 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $22,210,520 for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders
For the foregoing reasons, we had a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $30,150,005 for the year ended December 31, 2018, or $0.56 net loss per share attributable to common shareholders - basic and diluted, compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $32,876,507 for the year ended December 31, 2017, or $1.15 net loss per share attributable to common shareholders – basic and diluted.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows
Going Concern
Management believes that we will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. Therefore, we may either need additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going

concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we have generated revenue and are trying to achieve positive cash flows from operations.
As of December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, we had a cash balance of $556,858, $208,945, and $718,465, respectively, accounts receivable, net of $909,503, $557,747, and $129,341, respectively, and $6,934,725, $4,157,005, and $4,808,995, respectively, in current liabilities. At the current cash consumption rate, we may need to consider additional funding sources throughout fiscal 2020. We are taking proactive measures to reduce operating expenses, drive growth in revenue and expeditiously resolve any remaining legal matters.
The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to this uncertainty and as to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP, and our discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require our management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 4, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.
Management believes our critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, intangibles, accounting for acquisitions, revenue recognition, income taxes, distinguishing liabilities from equity and share-based compensation.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information, and determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.
Management charges balances off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company determines when receivables are past due or delinquent based on how recently payments have been received.
Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $156,709 and $55,659 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Accounting for Acquisitions
In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, the Company determines whether a transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. Each business combination is then accounted for by applying the acquisition method. If the assets
105

TABLE OF CONTENTS

acquired are not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, the Company recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The Company capitalizes acquisition-related costs and fees associated with asset acquisitions and immediately expense acquisition-related costs and fees associated with business combinations.
Revenue Recognition
Under FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The security services revenue is generated from performing armed and unarmed guarding which is contracted for on an hourly basis. Revenues associated with these contracted services are recognized under time-based arrangements as services are provided.
Additionally, the Company provides transportation security services, which are generally contracted for on a per-run basis and sometimes additional fees and surcharges are also billed to the client depending on the length of the run. Revenues associated with these services are recognized as the transportation service is provided. The guarding and transportation security business of the discontinued entities is now a discontinued operation. The Company still provides monitoring services that are included in the security and guarding business unit. The Company sold its security and guarding business on July 31, 2020 and is now being classified as a Discontinued Operation in the financial statements.
The Company generates revenue from developing and licensing seed to sale cannabis compliance software to both private-sector and public-sector (government agencies) businesses that are involved in cannabis related operations. The Company also generates revenue from on-going training, support and software customization services.
Occasionally, the Company will enter into systems installation arrangements. Installation jobs are estimated based on the cost of equipment to be installed, the number of hours expected to be incurred to complete the job and other ancillary costs. Revenue associated with these services are recognized over the arrangement period.
Lastly, the Company generates monthly recurring revenues from Cannalytics, its business intelligence and data tool for commercial customers. Revenue is recognized over monthly.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating loss for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company will determine the liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares.
106

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet (“temporary equity”). The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity.
Initial Measurement
The Company records its financial instruments classified as liability, temporary equity or permanent equity at issuance at the fair value, or cash received.
Subsequent Measurement - Financial instruments classified as liabilities
The Company records the fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities at each subsequent measurement date. The changes in fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities are recorded as other expense/income.
Share-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in conformity with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Stock Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation to employees consist of stock option grants and restricted shares that are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 505, subtopic 50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees based upon the fair-value of the underlying instrument. The equity instruments are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest and is recognized as an expense over the period which services are received.
The Company calculates the fair value of option grants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model and estimates the fair value of the stock based upon the estimated fair value of the common stock. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight- line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-.02, Leases (Topic 842) (“Topic 842”) which requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The most prominent of the changes in the standard is the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases.
The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and used the modified retrospective approach with the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, prior period balances and disclosures have not been restated. The Company elected certain practical expedients, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward prior conclusions about lease identification and classification.
Adoption of the standard resulted in the balance sheet recognition of additional lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $1,500,000. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company currently has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in separate lease and non-lease components for all our leases. For additional information regarding the Company’s leases, see Note 21 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable
107

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220); Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this ASU allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the ASU. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees and applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASC 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. This update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 removes certain disclosures, modifies certain disclosures and adds additional disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that this update will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “Helix”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Helix Technologies, Inc.
Overview
Helix Technologies, Inc. provides critical infrastructure solutions to the legal cannabis industry. Our mission is to provide clients with the best-in-class critical infrastructure services through a single integrated platform which enables them to run their businesses more safely, efficiently, and profitably. As we increase our platform’s scale and scope, clients will be able to realize greater cost savings and operating advantages.
Our team is composed of former military, financial services, and technology professionals with deep experience in technology design and development, strategic partnerships, data aggregation, venture capital, private equity, risk-management, security and law enforcement, intelligence, banking, and finance.
Technology is a cornerstone of Helix’s service offering. Our technology platform allows clients to manage their business in a compliant manner with BioTrackTHC’s seed-to-sale software, as well as managing inventory and supply costs through Cannabase. We focus on utilizing technology as an operations multiplier, bringing in and managing unique partnerships across the technology and operations spectrum to tailor and create desired outcomes for our clients.
Within the cannabis industry, no other activity carries as much potential for unforeseen negative impact as a lapse in compliance operations. Helix brings a broad range of compliance services to firms in the cannabis industry, safeguarding their ability to operate while increasing their access to services that offer them a competitive edge.
We have largely completed the financial and operational integrations of the previous 24 months, namely the acquisitions of BioTrackTHC, Engeni, Tan Security and Amercanex. BioTrackTHC specializes in providing cannabis software services, ranging from monitoring of plant inventory to point-of-sale solutions. BioTrackTHC’s software is used by 9 government entities and more than 2,000 commercial client locations across 34 U.S. states and 6 countries. Engeni provides a turnkey and comprehensive digital presence solution for small businesses. The Engeni Growth solution includes an optimized web page, a fully paid Google pay-per-click campaign, lead capture, lead delivery and ubiquitous directory/map listings. Engeni has also become the Company’s organic offshore software development platform, and has delivered the second generation of the BioTrackTHC software. These strategic acquisitions will help field the growing demand in the Legal Cannabis Industry. Amercanex is a business to business wholesale marketplace that leverages blockchain technology and is capable of facilitating wholesale cannabis transactions between licensed businesses on a global scale. The Company has integrated Amercanex’s technology with BioTrackTHC’s software platforms. Integration of the previously announced acquisitions has already yielded the operational and financial results that the management team sought, evidenced by strongly improved cash flows from operations, growing market share, and a greatly accelerated software development time with increased market responsiveness. These integrations still have room to yield more financial and operational leverage, which will be welcome in the unprecedented operating environment that now confronts the industry. Further, the turnaround of the BioTrackTHC unit is well advanced, with strategic restructuring in operations and personnel nearly complete, having been initiated in 2019. The transition of BioTrackTHC from an operation with negative $800,000 of Adjusted EBITDA in 2018 (while still better than competitors) into an operation that generated nearly $800,000 in Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2020 and Q2 2020, over $1 million of Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2020, and is a transformational success.
Today, the leadership team is focused on keeping our employees and clients as safe as possible as we continue to execute our strategy in the face of the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic. As a former military officer with training in Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical operations, Helix’s CEO is focused on not only the Company’s strategic and operational results, but on the evolution of the pandemic threat to the business and our lives.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) recognized COVID-19 as a global pandemic, prompting many national, regional, and local governments, including in the markets that the Company operates

in, to implement preventative or protective measures, such as travel and business restrictions, wide-sweeping quarantines and stay-at-home orders. As a result, COVID-19 has significantly curtailed global economic activity, including in the industries in which the Company operates.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant disruption and volatility in the capital markets, which, depending on future developments, could impact our capital resources and liquidity in the future. If we need to raise additional capital to support operations in the future, we may be unable to access the capital markets.
In response to the health and safety risks and challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has been proactively and regularly implementing measures to protect its employees. These measures include, but are not limited to, the following:
Abiding by national, state, and local recommendations to require the wearing of protective face masks and practicing of social distancing.
Adopting remote working protocols, systems, and processes.
While the Company is actively working to successfully navigate the financial, operational, and personnel challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. government, state and local government officials, and international governments to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain, out of our control and cannot be predicted at this time. We believe that the economic impacts of the pandemic are not well understood in terms of scope, scale and duration, and so we continue to focus on accelerating our execution timeline while using our technology and data resources to deliver greater reliability and profitability to our customers.

The $(199,590) decrease in professional and legal fees primarily resulted from a decrease in legal fees and costs associated with fundraising and acquisitions. The $(130,362) decrease in depreciation and amortization was due to reduced amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Security Grade acquisition as we fully impaired certain intangible assets in the first quarter of 2020. The $39,963,107 increase in loss on impairment of intangibles resulted from an impairment of goodwill required by the equity value of the Company pursuant to the merger agreement with MOR Analytics LLC.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows
Going Concern
Management believes that we will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. Therefore, we may either need additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going

concern. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we have generated revenue and are trying to achieve positive cash flows from operations.
As of September 30, 2020, we had a cash balance of $1,677,041, accounts receivable, net of $744,906 and $5,914,154 in current liabilities. At the current cash consumption rate, we may need to consider additional funding sources toward the end of fiscal 2020. We’ve taken proactive measures to reduce operating expenses, drive growth in revenue and expeditiously resolve any remaining legal matters.
The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to this uncertainty and as to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical accounting policies and estimates are further discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP financial measure and is the primary basis used to measure the operational strength and performance of our businesses as well as to assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our businesses. This measure eliminates the significant level of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results primarily from intangible assets recognized in business combinations and significant non-cash expense related to share-based compensation. It is also unaffected by our capital and tax structures. Our management and Board of Directors use this financial measure to evaluate our consolidated operating performance and the operating performance of our operating segments and to allocate resources and capital to our operating segments. Additionally, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our operating performance with that of other companies in our industries, although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before income tax expense, other income (loss), interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, share based compensation expense, other operating gains and losses (such as impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of long-lived assets), if any, and other gains and losses associated with the mark to market of our convertible notes, contingent liabilities and warrant liabilities. From time to time, we may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges that affect the period-to-period comparability of our operating performance. We reconcile consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to net loss. This measure should not

be considered a substitute for operating loss, net loss, or net cash provided by operating activities that we have reported in accordance with GAAP.

INFORMATION REGARDING MOR
Company History
Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC was founded in 2019 by Max Wygod and Adam Dublin, two former executives of WebMD Health Corp. MOR is headquartered in Newtown, PA. MOR is an innovative and evolving company developing Real World Evidence data assets (RWE), a Software as a Service analytics platform (SaaS), and Data as a Service (DaaS) solutions designed to support the information requirements of constituents across the healthcare and cannabis industries. These capabilities will enable life science companies, payers, providers and regulators to better understand the value and efficacy of healthcare products and services while providing critical business insights into clients’ products, services, customers and the dynamics of a rapidly changing marketplace. Management, administrators, physicians and caregivers can, in turn, use the information to make informed business decisions and guide healthcare decision making.
On October 16, 2020, MOR entered into the merger agreement with Helix, Merger Sub and Forian. MOR is also raising approximately $13,000,000 through the issuance and sale of Series S-1 Preferred Units of membership interests in MOR. The offering is scheduled to close in December 2020. Upon the closing of the offering, a closing condition to the merger will be satisfied. The investors included existing MOR investors, management and employees as well as new accredited investors.
Pursuant to a contribution agreement to be entered into between MOR, Forian and the members of MOR, members of MOR will contribute all of their membership interests in MOR to Forian in exchange for Forian common stock. As a result, MOR will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Forian. Upon completion of the merger and the contribution, former MOR members will own approximately 72% of Forian and former Helix shareholders will own approximately 28% of Forian.
Business Overview
MOR has developed a proprietary, integrated, HIPAA-compliant repository of longitudinal patient health information database for the United States. This database is updated weekly and includes billions of patient events dating back to 2014 and represents the majority of the U.S. population. Our technology processes, normalizes, standardizes, and integrates complex and disparate transactional data, such as medical, hospital and pharmacy claims, healthcare payer remittances, electronic medical records, retail point of sale transactions, and consumer demographics. The integrated data will be used to power multiple revenue streams including subscription-based commercial analytics SaaS platforms and DaaS solutions as well as custom health economics and outcomes research. We expect that our customers will include life science and related companies, payers, providers, government, and companies operating in the cannabis industry.
Our RWE solutions under development seek to assist customers seeking to understand the safety and efficacy of traditional and emerging therapies. Our solutions integrate otherwise unconnected and disparate data to enable near real-time surveillance of adverse events and to study the economic and social impacts of various therapeutic alternatives including those derived from cannabinoids. First of its kind, clinical grade, observational research can be conducted to evaluate the impact of emerging therapies on patient outcomes and as alternatives to existing therapies.
Our SaaS platforms will enable customers across healthcare and the legal cannabis industries to better attract and retain customers, purchase, distribute and invest in products, and understand marketplace dynamics that impact business performance. Our technologies will enable more participants to comply and perform efficiently in highly regulated markets, and we aim to provide leading solutions for state government-mandated inventory management and compliance tracking software as access to medical and adult-use cannabis continues to expand legally in the U.S.
Our DaaS solutions will enable our customers to leverage their own proprietary data independently or integrated with Forian proprietary data assets. MOR has the ability to clean, standardize, normalize and integrate information in a privacy compliant way. MOR is also developing proprietary reference data assets including product ontologies as the standard to which client data can be mapped and standardized for analytic purposes.
The Market
The global market for healthcare analytics was approximately $19 billion in 2019 growing to $50.5 billion in 2024. The market for RWE includes health economics and outcomes research databases and analytic platforms
118

TABLE OF CONTENTS

as well as clinical data capture, clinical analytics and research services, observation studies and pharmacoeconomics. The market for healthcare information, data and analytics includes information technology, data management, data warehousing, IT outsourcing, software development, customer segmentation and targeting, campaign measurement, longitudinal patient analytics and payer market access analytics.
The global legal cannabis market was valued at $17.7 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow to an estimated $73.6 billion by 2027 according to publicly available research. The use of cannabis for medical purposes is gaining momentum worldwide due to recent legalization and emerging research into therapeutic value and efficacy. Medical cannabis is used for the treatment of a growing array of diseases and chronic conditions including but not limited to pain, inflammation, arthritis, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Our Offerings
SaaS
We are developing our SaaS analytics business intelligence solutions powered by our proprietary databases coupled with data from our customers to produce commercial analytics delivered via standardized yet flexible cloud-based reporting tools. The platform is designed to support and measure business performance leveraging state of the art technologies and advanced analytics that have been proven in life sciences, retail, consumer packaged goods, and media markets. Our SaaS based solutions are being designed for life sciences manufacturers, healthcare payers, healthcare providers and cannabis dispensaries, manufacturers and cultivators to provide them with business intelligence relating to their products, customers, and the dynamics of a rapidly changing marketplace.
DaaS
We are also developing our data management solutions delivered as a DaaS solution. This DaaS solution manages an ever-growing array of disparate, siloed data generated by the IT systems across healthcare and the legal cannabis market. These systems, many not based on universal data standards, lack interoperability, contain non-standardized fields (e.g. product and customer I.D.s), are often missing critical pieces of information, and use inconsistent file formats. As such, they are not well suited to support analytics. Robust analytics needed to track business and product performance, segment and target customers, and manage in a dynamic marketplace require interoperable, fully standardized, and normalized reference data assets. We also provide service bureau services for the cleansing, standardization, and normalization of client and other 3rd party data.
RWE
We are continuously adding more RWE data to our proprietary, integrated, HIPAA-compliant patient database that will support:
The delivery of evidence-based insight into the safety and efficacy of ethical pharmaceuticals and emerging therapies to equip manufacturers, physicians, caregivers, payers and patients with credible evidence to improve patient care and health outcomes;
The empowerment of regulators to more granularly assess the safety, health, social and economic outcomes associated with all therapeutic options as the cannabis market scales and emerging therapies are adopted as mainstream therapeutic alternatives; and
The creation of new standards for product and treatment classification in emerging therapeutic markets where no existing or widely adopted standards exist today.

Growth Strategies
Our strategy is to improve our customer’s business performance and the efficiencies and safety of therapeutic products through the adoption of our platforms and information solutions. We intend to continue investing in commercial sales, research and development, and our strategic partnerships. We believe that we are well positioned to achieve our growth objectives across multiple healthcare verticals and leverage the growth in the healthcare and cannabis markets. Key elements of our strategy include:
Innovate and advance our platform and services. We have a history for technological innovation, and plan to release new features and upgrades on a regular basis. We intend to continue making significant investments in all platform products, architecture, and team to differentiate further our products and increase sales and demand.
Drive growth by acquiring new commercial and government customers. We believe that nearly all organizations that discover, develop, produce, and market therapeutic products must embrace data driven analytics to compete effectively. As such, the opportunity to continue growing our customer base is significant.
Increase usage and upsell within our existing customer base. We plan to continue investing in sales and marketing, with a focus on driving greater use of our SaaS, DaaS and RWE offerings to grow large customer relationships, which lead to scale and operating leverage in our business model.
Leverage our scalable platform into new markets. Our platform provides innovative benefits to the life science, payer, provider, government and legal cannabis markets. We believe there is significant opportunity to deploy the use of our platform in adjacent industries.
Expand our data and strategic partner network. Our business intelligence is derived partly from data generated through our commercial products as well as acquired from strategic data partners. As part of our growth strategy, we may seek to acquire assets or companies that are synergistic with our business and add to our data assets and offering sets.
The U.S. healthcare market has been expanding and evolving rapidly over the past decade due to an aging population, innovations in treatments and a reimagining of service delivery. There has been a growing emphasis on digitizing medical records and providing access to those records to providers and patients in support of more efficient, effective care. Disparate, unconnected systems, new diagnostics and treatment protocols are all generating new sources of data. In addition, data is being generated from retailers, social media and the internet. Collectively, the expansion of the volume and type of data has created challenges in making information interoperable and actionable. New and existing sources of data are often unstructured preventing the seamless ability to derive valuable insights. New systems and solutions are needed to provide accessible and statistically significant data sets that offer the ability to conduct longitudinal analyses. The derived information and business intelligence is relevant to all healthcare stakeholders, and we believe there is an increasing need for the aggregation and integration of the large clinical data sets, irrespective of the source, traditional healthcare systems or emerging technologies.
In addition, we believe that RWE continues to drive value for all healthcare stakeholders. The proliferation of information technology and analytics extends well beyond Life Sciences. Information is critical to the ability for payers to manage and price risk effectively. The emergence of new data assets and technology have enabled better risk stratification, treatment protocol development and decision making relating to coverage of existing and emerging therapies. The ability to enter into value-based contracts is predicated on access to RWE related data and analytics. Similarly, the healthcare delivery system is changing rapidly with telehealth and remote based monitoring become critical. As such, providers require more information to inform treatment decisions. This requires connectivity and access to their patient’s information including the use of OTC and unapproved pharmaceutical treatments. Absent standards and the ability to capture and integrate these data into their medical records, they will lack the information required to guide the most effective treatments. Institutional healthcare providers are losing large numbers of patients and large amounts of revenue due to changes in where and how healthcare is delivered, reduced demand for elective procedures due to COVID-19 and intense competition for customers and referrals. Provider profiling data, market supply and demand analytics and treatment protocol improvements all require information that Forian is well suited to deliver.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Life science companies need to fully understand how, when and why patients are treated with both traditional and alternative therapies. This understanding is incomplete without extending the understanding of the patient journey to emerging therapeutics including cannabis-based treatments. Governments, manufacturers, cultivators and distributors as well as dispensaries need information on the safety and efficacy of cannabis in both medical and adult use settings. As legalization and usage expands rapidly, providers, patients and caregivers want more assurance of the quality and consistency of the products and insight into therapeutic alternatives for treatment of chronic conditions. Physicians and patients want to more quickly understand the strains, terpene profiles, dosage and frequency that yield the best health outcomes for patients. There is too much reliance today on anecdotal evidence and trial and error in treatment decisions leveraging alternative therapies. There is little to no understanding of the benefit of alternative therapeutic interventions used in place of or concomitantly with traditional therapeutics. The life science industry is currently investing in over 100 clinical trials for cannabis-based products which is indicative of these treatment alternatives becoming more and more mainstream.
The rapid expansion of the cannabis market is driving the demand for better technologies, information standards and more sophisticated analytics. Competitive pressures have created a market for manufacturers and dispensaries to rely on data and analytics as a key development and commercialization strategy. Currently, there is little standardization to organize the vast amount of data being generated from traceability and point of sale technologies. For example, product naming conventions are unique in the cannabis industry and can be very different for the same product. There is a need to create a standard product ontology that can be utilized consistently to normalize and standardize disparate data sets to organize and aggregate the data for commercial analysis and RWE studies. Machine learning and artificial intelligence can be applied to complete, standardize and normalize the data, thereby making the data interoperable and useful for analytics.
States continue to generate tax revenue by approving and expanding their cannabis programs. Their desire to expand these programs deliberately and responsibly with patient safety having the highest priority necessitates the ability to track the products from seed to sale and develop robust patient registries to support RWE studies and tracking product utilization and outcomes. These patient registries allow for surveillance tracking and early adverse event tracking which will become a cornerstone of the state cannabis programs.
We believe that the need for cannabis clients to maximize productivity and lower costs across their processes from research and development through commercial operations will cause them to look to partners as they enter into outsourcing arrangements to improve efficiency. Further, we believe our clients are looking for new ways to simplify processes and drive operational efficiencies by using automation, consolidating vendors and adopting new technology options such as hosted and cloud-based applications. This provides opportunities for MOR to capture and consolidate internal spending by providing lower-cost and variable-cost options that lower clients’ research and development, selling, marketing and administrative costs.
Competition
While the healthcare DaaS and SaaS industry include well-capitalized, experienced competitors, we believe our unique data assets, synergies, IP and experienced leadership offer us competitive advantages. In general, our competitors include a variety of entities such as information, analytics, technology and services companies, as well as in-house technologies developed. Our platform competes with firms such as Medidata, Inc., IQVIA, Oracle, IBM, Parexel Informatics, Veeva Systems, Inc. and other large-scale technology providers that offer a range of products and services that compete with Forian’s solutions. In addition, we compete with several small technology companies in a fragmented legal cannabis industry that offer services that are similar to some of our services, including, but not limited to, Akerna, Acumatica, BDS Analytics, Canna Advisors, Cannabis 365, Flowhub, Greenbits, Guardian, Headset, Medicine Man, Metrc, New Frontier, Nextec, 3C, Treez, and TILT Holdings. We face competition in each of the revenue segments in which we operate.
Government Regulation
Privacy & Customer Data
Our information management services relate to the processing of information regarding patient diagnosis and treatment of disease and are, therefore, subject to substantial governmental regulation. In addition, the confidentiality of patient-specific information and the circumstances under which such patient-specific records may be released for inclusion in our databases or used in other aspects of our business is heavily regulated. Federal, state and foreign governments are contemplating or have proposed or adopted additional legislation
121

TABLE OF CONTENTS

governing the possession, use and dissemination of personal data, such as personal health information and personal financial data, as well as security breach notification rules for loss or theft of such data. Additional legislation or regulation of this type might, among other things, require us to implement additional security measures and processes or bring within the legislation or regulation de-identified health or other data, each of which may require substantial expenditures or limit our ability to offer some of our services.
In particular, personal health information is recognized in many countries such as the United States, the European Union, or EU, and several countries in Asia, as a special, sensitive category of personal information, subject to additional mandatory protections. Violations of data protection regulations are subject to administrative penalties, civil money penalties and criminal prosecution, including corporate fines and personal liability.
Our technology processes, normalizes, standardizes, and integrates complex and disparate transactional data, such as medical, hospital and pharmacy claims data, EMR data, retail point of sale transactions, media impressions and consumer demographic data. Forian Inc. has developed its platform with strict, HIPAA-compliant privacy controls enabling linkages between the transactional data sources while maintaining patient, consumer, and customer privacy. All data are de-identified at the person level, enabling longitudinal, credible, evidence-based assessments relating to product safety, efficacy, and clinical outcomes as well as commercial analytics.
Cannabis and Cannabis-derived Products
We do not grow, handle, process, or sell cannabis or cannabis-derived products, nor do we ever possess any such material or process any transactions related to the sale of the same. We provide data products and services for our clients to understand the safety and efficacy of their products and to provide information on products, consumers and market intelligence. We do not receive any commissions from sales by our clients and our revenue generation is not based on the sales of cannabis products by our clients, but rather we generate revenues through a fee based subscription revenue model. Neither we nor our data products are directly subject to state or federal government drug regulation.
Our clients are subject to state and federal law as it relates to cannabis growth, processing, and sale. 34 U.S. states have legalized cannabis in some form. The federal government regulates drugs through the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. § 811), which does not recognize the difference between medical and recreational use of cannabis. State laws regulating cannabis are in direct conflict with the CSA, which prohibits cannabis use and possession. Although certain states and territories authorize medical or recreational cannabis cultivation, manufacturing, production, distribution, and sales by licensed or registered entities, under federal law, the cultivation, manufacture, distribution, possession, use, and transfer of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia, unless specifically exempt, is illegal and any such acts are criminal acts under the CSA.
While the United States Department of Justice has used prosecutorial discretion to not prioritize enforcement actions against state-legal cannabis businesses that are compliant with state, county, municipal and other local laws and regulations and which do not trigger any other federal enforcement priorities, the Department of Justice reserves the right to enforce federal law and there can be no assurance that the federal government will not enforce the CSA and related federal laws in the future. Any shift in enforcement priority at the Department of Justice or with the individual United States Attorneys with jurisdiction over our clients, could have a drastic and adverse impact upon our clients and our business.
Any violations of federal laws and regulations could result in significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, convictions or settlements arising from civil proceedings conducted by either the federal government or private citizens or criminal charges, including but not limited to, seizure of assets, disgorgement of profits, cessation of business activities or divestiture. In the event that any of our operations, or any proceeds thereof, any dividends or distributions therefrom, or any profits or revenues accruing from such operations were found to be in violation of money laundering legislation or otherwise, such transactions may be viewed as proceeds of crime under one or more of the statutes noted above or any other applicable legislation. This could restrict or otherwise jeopardize our ability to declare or pay dividends or effect other distributions. Furthermore, while there are no current intentions to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future, in the event that a determination was made that our proceeds from operations (or any future operations) could reasonably be shown to constitute proceeds of crime, we may decide or be required to suspend declaring or paying dividends without advance notice and for an indefinite period of time.

Intellectual Property
In addition to our proprietary data sets described above, we develop and use a number of proprietary methodologies, analytics, systems, technologies and other intellectual property in the conduct of our business. We rely upon a combination of legal, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect our proprietary and confidential information and trade secrets, and patent, copyright and trademark laws to protect other intellectual property rights. We consider our trademark and related names, marks and logos to be of material importance to our business, and we have registered or applied for registration for certain of these trademarks in the United States and will aggressively seek to protect them. Trademarks and service marks generally may be renewed indefinitely so long as they are in use and/or their registrations are properly maintained, and so long as they have not been found to have become generic. The technology and other intellectual property rights owned and licensed by us are of importance to our business, although our management believes that our business, as a whole, is not dependent upon any one intellectual property or group of such properties.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF MOR
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the MOR consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect MOR’s plans, estimates and assumptions. MOR’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
Financial Operations Overview
The following discussion sets forth certain components of our statements of operations as well as factors that impact those items.
Net Sales
Our revenue is derived from data products, software, and Real World Evidence (“RWE”) revenue. Data products revenues are generated from both subscription based and one-time licensing of the Company’s medical information databases and in future will also be generated from SaaS based business intelligence software. RWE revenues are generated by project and regular analytical deliverables (such as patient registries and PRO Studies. Net Sales are net of certain pass through costs for hosting and processing which are incurred by us but are re-billed to customers.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue is generated from direct costs associated with extracting data, analyzing data and configuring and supporting customers that license our software. The cost of revenue relates primarily to labor costs, hosting and infrastructure costs, and client service team costs. We record the cost of direct fulfilment as cost of revenue. Infrastructure and licensed data costs which are shared across all projects or groups of projects are not charged to cost of revenue.
Research and Development
Our research and development costs are primarily generated from research, design, prototyping and testing, and data product and software development activities. It is also comprised of labor and subcontractor costs, and technology costs (software and third-party cloud access). Once our prototypes are proven and we have sufficient feedback from customers we begin the data product and software development activities. During this phase we would capitalize costs that qualify associated with this development rather than recording those costs as research and development.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Sales and marketing expense is primarily salaries and related expenses, including commissions, for our sales, marketing and product management staff. Marketing programs costs are also recorded as sales and marketing including advertising, market research, events (such as trade shows, corporate communications, brand building, etc. We plan to continue to invest in marketing and sales by expanding our domestic and international selling and marketing activities, building brand awareness, attracting new clients, and sponsoring additional marketing events. The timing of these marketing events will affect our marketing costs in a particular quarter.
Our general and administrative expenses include salaries and benefits and other costs of departments serving administrative functions, such as executives, finance and accounting, and human resources. In addition, general and administrative expense includes non-personnel costs, such as professional fees, legal fees, accounting and finance advisory fees and other supporting corporate expenses not allocated to cost of revenue, product and development or sales and marketing. General and administrative costs also include the costs associated with compliance with the requirements of a public company.
We generally operate virtually. Personal computing equipment is essential to enable our teams to work virtually in a distributed or remote fashion. Depreciation and amortization is primarily driven by the purchase of personal computing equipment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We believe that several accounting policies are important to understanding our historical and future performance. We refer to these policies as critical because these specific areas generally require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time we make the estimate, and different estimates — which also would have been reasonable — could have been used. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

result of software license costs, staffing and contractors, technology costs (Software and third-party Cloud access) needed to establish data management and processing capabilities associated with the licensed data and research and design work for future products and services.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception in 2019, we have devoted most of our cash resources to research and development and general and administrative activities. We have financed our operations primarily with the proceeds from the sale of membership interests and convertible promissory notes. To date, we have generated limited revenues from the sale of products. We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of September 30, 2020, our principal source of liquidity was our cash, which totaled $1,081,531 and a Series S-1 equity financing scheduled to close in December 2020.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities
MOR used $34,206 in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily to purchase personal computing equipment. In addition, MOR sold investments totaling $149,767 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

In March of 2020, MOR completed a Series S financing with investors that resulted in proceeds of $3.5 million, including the conversion of promissory notes issued in 2019. Total cash provided by financing activities was $3,315,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
MOR does not have relationships with other organizations or process any transactions that would constitute off balance sheet arrangements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Except as described below, MOR has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
ASC 606
MOR recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue of Contracts with Customers. For non-public companies, ASC 606 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. MOR elected to early adopt the standard as of January 1, 2019. The new revenue standard did not have a material impact on MOR’s financial statements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks, which may result in potential losses arising from adverse changes in market rates, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and do not believe we are exposed to material market risk with respect to our cash and cash equivalents.
We currently have no operations outside the United States and therefore do not presently have foreign currency exchange rate risk.
We do not engage in any hedging activities against changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates. Because of the short-term maturities of our cash and cash equivalents, we do not believe that an immediate 10% increase in interest rates would have any significant impact on the realized value of our investments.

The division of the Forian board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control of Forian. Forian directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of Forian’s outstanding voting stock entitled to vote in the election of directors.
Family Relationships
Max Wygod, the Chairman of the Board, is the son of Martin Wygod, a director.
Board Leadership Structure
The Forian board of directors is currently chaired by Max Wygod.
Role of the Board in Risk Oversight
One of the key functions of the Forian board of directors is informed oversight of its risk management process. The Forian board of directors does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through our board of directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the board of directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, the board of directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and the audit committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. Our audit committee will monitor compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Our nominating and corporate governance committee will monitor the effectiveness of our corporate governance practices, including whether they are successful in preventing illegal or improper liability-creating conduct. Our compensation committee will assess and monitor whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, our entire board of directors will be regularly informed through committee reports about such risks.
Board Committees
The Forian board of directors will have three standing committees—audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance—each of which will operate under a written charter. A copy of each of the audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee charters will be available under the Corporate Governance section of the Forian website at www.forian.com. The reference to the Forian website address does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained at or available through our website, and you should not consider it to be a part of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Audit Committee
The audit committee’s responsibilities include:
appointing, approving the compensation of, and assessing the independence of the Forian registered public accounting firm;
overseeing the work of the Forian registered public accounting firm, including through the receipt and consideration of reports from such firm;
reviewing and discussing with management and the registered public accounting firm our annual and quarterly financial statements and related disclosures;
coordinating our board of directors’ oversight of our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and code of business conduct and ethics;
discussing the Forian risk management policies;

Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct
We have adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Our code of business conduct and ethics will be available under the Corporate Governance section of our website at www.forian.com. In addition, we intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law or the Nasdaq rules concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code. The reference to our website address does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained at or available through our website, and you should not consider it to be a part of this prospectus.
Director Compensation
Directors who are also our employees will not receive compensation for their service on the Forian board. Forian’s non-employee directors will receive equity compensation for their service on the Forian board.
Upon completion of the business combination transactions, the newly appointed independent directors will be granted 5,000 RSUs each that will vest 25% annually beginning on the first anniversary of the closing of the merger and each director will be granted options to purchase 15,000 shares of Forian common stock with a strike price equal to the fair market value of the Forian common stock on the grant date, such options will vest 25% annually beginning on the first anniversary of the closing of the merger.
The Forian board will periodically review the director compensation program and may revise the compensation arrangements for Forian directors from time to time.
Limitations of Liability and Indemnification
The Forian certificate of incorporation limits the personal liability of directors for breach of fiduciary duty to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, and provides that no director will have personal liability to us or to our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. However, these provisions do not eliminate or limit the liability of any Forian directors:
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to Forian or Forian stockholders;
for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
for voting for or assenting to unlawful payments of dividends, stock repurchases or other distributions; or
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Any amendment to or repeal of these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that occurred or arose prior to such amendment or repeal. If the DGCL is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations, then the personal liability of Forian directors will be further limited to the greatest extent permitted by the DGCL.
In addition, the Forian certificate of incorporation, provides that Forian must indemnify Forian directors and officers and Forian must advance expenses, including attorneys' fees, to Forian directors and officers in connection with legal proceedings, subject to very limited exceptions.
Forian maintains a general liability insurance policy that covers specified liabilities of Forian directors and officers arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
Some of Forian’s non-employee directors may, through their relationships with their employers, be insured or indemnified against specified liabilities incurred in their capacities as members of Forian board of directors.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, may be permitted to directors, executive officers or persons controlling us, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Equity Compensation Plans
In connection with the closing of the merger and contribution, Forian plans to adopt the Forian Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, or the Plan, provides for grants of stock options and stock awards. Our directors, officers and consultants are eligible for grants under the Plan.
The purpose of the Plan is to encourage the participants to contribute materially to the growth of Forian, thereby benefitting the Forian’s stockholders, and will align the economic interests of the participants with those of the stockholders.
Administration. The Plan is administered by the board of directors or a committee appointed by the board. The board has the sole authority to (i) determine the individuals to whom grants will be made under the Plan, (ii) determine the type, size and terms of the grants to be made to each such individual, (iii) determine the time when the grants will be made and the duration of any applicable exercise or restriction period, including the criteria for exercisability and the acceleration of exercisability, (iv) amend the terms of any previously issued grant, and (v) deal with any other matters arising under the Plan.
Available shares. The aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the Plan is [] shares. If grants of stock options or stock awards under the Plan or our prior equity incentive plan are canceled or forfeited, the shares subject to such grants will again be available under the Plan.
If there is any change in the number or kind of shares of our stock outstanding (i) by reason of a stock dividend, spinoff, recapitalization, stock split, or combination or exchange of shares, (ii) by reason of a merger, reorganization or consolidation, (iii) by reason of a reclassification or change in par value, or (iv) by reason of any other extraordinary or unusual event affecting the outstanding stock as a class without the receipt of consideration, or if the value of outstanding shares of our stock is substantially reduced as a result of a spinoff or our payment of an extraordinary dividend or distribution, the maximum number of shares of our stock available for grants under the Plan, the maximum number of shares of our stock that any individual participating in this Plan may be granted in any year, the number of shares covered by outstanding grants, the kind of shares issued under this Plan, and the price per share of such grants will be appropriately adjusted by the board to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of, or change in the kind or value of, issued shares of our stock to preclude, to the extent practicable, the enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits under such Grants; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment will be eliminated. Any adjustments determined by the board will be final, binding and conclusive.
Eligibility for participation. Members of our board of directors, as well as employees of, and consultants and advisors to, us or any of our subsidiaries and affiliates will be eligible to receive awards under the Plan.
Award agreements. Awards granted under the Plan are evidenced by award agreements, which need not be identical, and that provide additional terms, conditions, restrictions or limitations covering the grant of the award, including, without limitation, additional terms providing for the acceleration of exercisability or vesting of awards in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) or conditions regarding the participant's employment, as determined by the committee.
Stock options. The committee may grant nonqualified stock options to any individuals eligible to participate in the Plan and incentive stock options to purchase shares of our common stock only to eligible employees. The committee will determine: (i) the number of shares of our common stock subject to each option; (ii) the term of each option, which may not exceed ten years, or five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10.0% or greater stockholder; (iii) the exercise price; (iv) the vesting schedule, if any and (v) the other material terms of each option. No incentive stock option or nonqualified stock option may have an exercise price less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock at the time of grant or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10.0% or greater stockholder, 110.0% of such share's fair market value. Options will be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the committee at the time of grant and the exercisability of such options may be accelerated by the committee.
Stock awards. The board may issue shares of our common stock to an employee, non-employee director or advisor under a stock award, upon such terms as the board deems appropriate. Shares of our stock issued pursuant to stock awards may be issued for consideration or for no consideration, and subject to restrictions or no restrictions, as determined by the board. The board may establish conditions under which restrictions on stock awards will lapse over a period of time or according to such other criteria as the board deems appropriate.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Change in Control. Upon a change of control where we are not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation), unless the board determines otherwise, all outstanding options that are not exercised will be assumed by, or replaced with comparable options by the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation), and outstanding stock awards will be converted to stock awards of the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation). In the event of a Change of Control, the board may take any of the following actions with respect to any or all outstanding grants: the board may (i) determine that outstanding options will accelerate and become exercisable, in whole or in part, upon the change of control or upon such other event as the board determines, (ii) determine that the restrictions and conditions on outstanding stock awards will lapse, in whole or in part, upon the change of control or upon such other event as the board determines, (iii) require that grantees surrender their outstanding options in exchange for a payment by us, in cash or stock as determined by the board, in an amount equal to the amount by which the then fair market value of the shares of our stock subject to the grantee's unexercised options exceeds the exercise price of the options or (iv) after giving grantees an opportunity to exercise their outstanding options, terminate any or all unexercised options at such time as the board deems appropriate. Such surrender or termination will take place as of the date of the change of control or such other date as the board may specify. The board will have no obligation to take any of the foregoing actions, and, in the absence of any such actions, outstanding Options and Stock Awards will continue in effect according to their terms (subject to any assumption pursuant to as described in the first sentence of this paragraph).
As used in the Plan, a “Change of Control” will mean:
any merger or consolidation in which our voting securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of our outstanding securities are transferred to a person or persons different; from the person holding those securities immediately prior to such transaction and the composition of the board following such transaction is such that our directors prior to the transaction constitute less than 50% of the board membership following the transaction;
any acquisition, directly or indirectly, by a person or related group of persons (other than the Company or a person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company) of beneficial ownership of our voting securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of our outstanding securities; provided, however, that, no Change of Control will be deemed to occur by reason of the acquisition of shares of our capital stock by an investor in us in a capital-raising transaction;
any acquisition, directly or indirectly, by a person or related group of persons of the right to appoint a majority of our directors or otherwise directly or indirectly control our management, affairs and business;
any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets; or
a complete liquidation or dissolution of us.
The term “transfer” includes any sale, exchange, assignment, gift, bequest, disposition, mortgage, charge, pledge, encumbrance, grant of a security interest or other arrangement by which possession, legal title or beneficial ownership passes from one person to another, or to the same person in a different capacity, whether or not voluntarily and whether or not for value, and including without limitation any merger or amalgamation and any agreement to effect any of the foregoing.
Stockholder rights. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, and with respect to an award of restricted stock, a participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to shares of our common stock covered by any award until the participant becomes the record holder of such shares.
Amendment and termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, our board of directors may at any time amend any or all of the provisions of the Plan.
Transferability. Awards granted under the Plan generally will be nontransferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, except that the committee may provide for the transferability of nonqualified stock options at the time of grant or thereafter to certain family members.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
As a company with less than $1.07 billion in revenue during the last fiscal year, Forian qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, enacted in April 2012. An emerging growth company may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;
not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended;
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Forian may take advantage of these provisions until the last day of its fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the merger. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if Forian becomes a large accelerated filer, its annual gross revenue exceeds $1.07 billion or its issues more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, it will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period.
Forian has elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result, the information that Forian provides to its stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.
In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Forian has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period.

THE HELIX SPECIAL MEETING
This section contains information about the special meeting of Helix stockholders that has been called to consider and adopt the merger agreement.
Date, Time and Place
Together with this document, Helix is also sending its stockholders a notice of the special meeting and a form of proxy that is solicited by the Helix board of directors. The special meeting will be held on [•], [•], 2020, at 10:00 a.m., EST, in a virtual meeting format only. You will not be able to attend the special meeting physically.
Matters to be Considered at the Helix special meeting
At the Helix special meeting, Helix stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following:
(1)
the Helix merger proposal;
(2)
the Helix merger-related compensation proposal; and
(3)
the Helix adjournment proposal.
Completion of the merger is conditioned on approval of the Helix merger proposal. Completion of the merger is not conditioned on the approval of the Helix adjournment proposal.
Proxies
If you were a record holder of Helix common stock at the close of business on the record date of the Helix special meeting, a proxy card is enclosed for your use. Helix requests that you vote your shares as promptly as possible by (i) visiting the internet site listed on the Helix proxy card, (ii) calling the toll-free number listed on the Helix proxy card or (iii) submitting your Helix proxy card by mail by using the provided self-addressed, stamped envelope. Information and applicable deadlines for voting through the internet or by telephone are set forth on the enclosed proxy card. When the accompanying proxy is returned properly executed, the shares of Helix common stock represented by it will be voted at the Helix special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the meeting in accordance with the instructions contained in the proxy card. Your internet or telephone vote authorizes the named proxies to vote your shares in the same manner as if you had marked, signed and returned a proxy card.
If a proxy is returned without an indication as to how the shares of Helix common stock represented are to be voted with regard to a particular proposal, the Helix common stock represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Helix board of directors and, therefore, “FOR” the Helix merger proposal, “FOR” the Helix merger-related compensation proposal, and “FOR” the Helix adjournment proposal.
As of the date hereof, the Helix board of directors has no knowledge of any business that will be presented for consideration at the Helix special meeting and that would be required to be set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus or the related proxy card other than the matters set forth in Helix’s Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders. If any other matter is properly presented at the Helix special meeting for consideration, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy and acting thereunder will vote in accordance with their discretion on such matter.
Revocation of Proxies
A Helix stockholder may revoke a proxy at any time before it is voted at the meeting by taking any of the following four actions:
delivering written notice of revocation to Helix’s Corporate Secretary, [•], 5300 DTC Parkway, Suite 300, Greenwood Village, CO 80111;
delivering a proxy card bearing a later date than the proxy that you wish to revoke;
casting a subsequent vote via telephone or the internet, as described above; or
attending the virtual special meeting and voting via the virtual portal.
143

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Merely attending the virtual meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy; you must cast a subsequent vote at the meeting using forms and procedures provided for that purpose. Your last valid vote that we receive before or at the special meeting is the vote that will be counted.
If you have instructed a broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares of Helix common stock, you must follow the directions you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee in order to change or revoke your vote.
Shares Held in Street Name
If you hold shares of Helix common stock through a stock brokerage account, bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial holder” of the shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” The “record holder” of such shares is your broker, bank or other nominee, and not you, and you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. Please note that you may not vote shares held in street name by returning a proxy card directly to Helix or by voting in person via the virtual portal at the Helix special meeting unless you have a “legal proxy,” which you must obtain from your broker, bank or other nominee. Please also note that brokers, banks or other nominees who hold shares of Helix common stock on behalf of their customers may not give a proxy to Helix to vote those shares without specific instructions from their customers.
If you are a Helix stockholder and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee may not vote your shares on any of the Helix proposals.
Solicitation of Proxies
Helix will bear the entire cost of soliciting proxies from its stockholders. In addition to solicitation of proxies by mail, proxies may also be solicited by Helix’s directors and employees personally, and by telephone, electronic transmission, facsimile transmission, or other means. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for proxy solicitation nor is it expected to result in more than a minimal cost. Helix may make arrangements directly with banks, brokerage houses, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation material to the beneficial owners of Helix common stock held of record by them and to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. Helix may reimburse these institutional holders for their reasonable expenses in connection with these activities. Helix has also made arrangements with [•] to assist it in soliciting proxies and has agreed to pay it approximately $[•] for these services, which includes all out of pocket expenses.
Recommendation of the Helix Board of Directors
The Helix board of directors unanimously recommends that Helix stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Helix merger proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Helix merger-related compensation proposal, and “FOR” the approval of the Helix adjournment proposal.
Record Date; Shareholders Entitled to Vote
The record date for the Helix special meeting is [•], 2020. Only record holders of shares of Helix common stock at the close of business on such date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Helix special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. At the close of business on the record date, the only outstanding voting securities of Helix were shares of Helix common stock, and [•] shares of Helix common stock were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Helix special meeting.
Each share of Helix common stock outstanding on the record date of the Helix special meeting is entitled to one vote on each proposal and any other matter coming before the Helix special meeting.
Voting by Helix’s Directors and Executive Officers
At the close of business on the record date for the Helix special meeting, Helix directors and executive officers and their affiliates were entitled to vote [•] shares of Helix common stock or approximately [•]% of the shares of Helix common stock outstanding on that date. Each of the directors of Helix have entered into a support agreement, which generally requires that the stockholder party thereto vote all of his or her shares of Helix common stock in favor of the merger proposal and, subject to specified exceptions, prohibit such stockholder from transferring his or her shares of Helix common stock prior to the consummation of the merger.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Quorum and Adjournment
No business may be transacted at the Helix special meeting unless a quorum is present. Shareholders who hold shares representing at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the Helix special meeting must be present in person or by proxy to constitute a quorum. If a quorum is not present, the chairman may adjourn the meeting to solicit additional proxies. In addition, if fewer shares are voted than the number of shares required to obtain the necessary Helix stockholder approvals, then the special meeting may be adjourned to allow additional time for obtaining additional proxies, if the approval of a majority of the votes cast at the special meeting on the Helix adjournment proposal is obtained.
No notice of an adjourned meeting need be given if the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the special meeting unless, after the adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, in which case a notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At any adjourned meeting, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as they would have been voted at the original convening of the special meeting, except for any proxies that have been effectively revoked or withdrawn prior to the adjourned meeting.
All shares of Helix common stock represented at the Helix special meeting, either in person or by proxy, including failures to vote and abstentions, will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum.
Your vote is important. If you were a record holder of Helix common stock on the record date of the Helix special meeting, please sign and return the enclosed proxy card, or vote via the internet or telephone, regardless of whether or not you plan to attend the Helix special meeting in person. Proxies submitted through the specified internet website or by phone must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2020.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSALS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE HELIX SPECIAL MEETING

PROPOSAL NO. 1 – THE HELIX MERGER PROPOSAL
Helix is asking its stockholders to approve the Helix merger proposal. For a detailed discussion of the merger, including the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, see “The Merger Agreement,” beginning on page 69. As discussed in detail in the sections entitled “The Merger – Helix’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the Board of Directors,” beginning on page 146, after careful consideration, the Helix board of directors determined that the terms of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are in the best interests of Helix and its stockholders and the Helix board of directors unanimously approved the merger agreement.
Required Vote
Approval of the Helix merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Helix common stock entitled to vote at the Helix special meeting. Failures to vote, broker non-votes and abstentions will have the same effect as votes against this proposal.
Recommendation of the Helix Board of Directors
The Helix board of directors unanimously recommends that Helix stockholders vote “FOR” approval of the Helix merger proposal. See “The Merger – Helix’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the Helix Board of Directors” on page 146 for a more detailed discussion of the Helix board of directors’ recommendation.
PROPOSAL NO. 2 – HELIX MERGER-RELATED COMPENSATION PROPOSAL
As required by Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, Helix is providing its stockholders with the opportunity to approve, in a non-binding advisory vote, certain compensation that may become payable to its named executive officers in connection with the merger, which is based on or related to the merger and the agreements and understandings concerning such compensation, by voting on the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, that the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the named executive officers of Helix in connection with or as a result of the merger, and the agreements or understandings pursuant to which such compensation may be paid or become payable, in each case as disclosed in the section entitled “The Merger – Interests of Certain Helix Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger – Certain Compensation for Helix Named Executive Officers,” and the related table and narrative, are hereby APPROVED on a non-binding, advisory basis.”
Approval of the Helix merger-related compensation proposal is not a condition to completion of the merger. The vote on this proposal is a vote separate and apart from the vote on the Helix merger proposal. Accordingly, a holder of Helix common stock may vote against this Helix merger-related compensation proposal and vote to approve the Helix merger proposal or vice versa. Because this proposal is advisory in nature only, a vote for or against approval will not be binding on either Helix or Forian, regardless of whether the other proposals are approved.
The compensation that is subject to this proposal is a contractual obligation of Helix. If the merger is approved and completed, such compensation may be paid, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, even if stockholders fail to approve this proposal. If the merger is not completed, the Helix board of directors will consider the results of the vote in making future executive compensation decisions.
Required Vote
The approval of the Helix merger-related compensation proposal requires the approval of a majority of the votes cast on this proposal at the Helix special meeting, assuming a quorum. Failures to vote, broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on the vote for this proposal.
Recommendation of the Helix Board of Directors
The Helix board of directors unanimously recommends that Helix stockholders vote “FOR” approval of the Helix merger-related compensation proposal.
146

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL NO. 3 – THE HELIX ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL
The Helix special meeting may be adjourned to another time or place if there are insufficient votes represented at the Helix special meeting to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Helix special meeting or if there are insufficient votes necessary to obtain the approval of the Helix merger proposal. In that event, you will be asked to vote only upon the Helix adjournment proposal and will not be asked to vote on the Helix merger proposal or the Helix merger-related compensation proposal at the special meeting.
Helix requests that its stockholders authorize the holder of any proxy solicited by the Helix board of directors on a discretionary basis to vote in favor of adjourning the Helix special meeting to another time or place, if determined necessary or appropriate by Helix, to solicit additional proxies (including the solicitation of proxies from Helix stockholders who have previously voted). Approval of this proposal is not a condition to the closing of the merger.
Generally, if the special meeting is adjourned, no notice of the adjourned meeting is required to be given to stockholders, other than an announcement at the special meeting of the place, date and time to which the meeting is adjourned.
Required Vote
The approval of the Helix adjournment proposal requires the approval of a majority of the votes cast on this proposal at the Helix special meeting, regardless of whether or not there is a quorum. Failures to vote, broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on the vote for this proposal.
Recommendation of the Helix Board of Directors
The Helix board of directors believes that if the number of shares of its common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Helix special meeting and voting in favor of the approval of the Helix merger proposal is insufficient to approve such proposal, it is in the best interests of the Helix stockholders to enable the board of directors, for a limited period of time, to continue to seek to obtain a sufficient number of additional votes to approve such proposal. The Helix board of directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Helix adjournment proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the merger between Forian, Merger Sub and Helix and the contribution between Forian and MOR (we refer to the merger and the contribution collectively as the “business combination”). MOR and Helix have historical operating businesses, and Forian was incorporated to be the parent company, following the completion of the merger and the contribution. The contribution agreement will be entered into immediately prior to closing of the merger. The merger will be accounted for using acquisition accounting, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). As such, the assets and liabilities of Helix, as of the completion of the merger, will be recorded at their fair values as well as any identifiable intangible assets. Any remaining excess purchase price will be allocated to goodwill, will not be amortized and will be evaluated for impairment annually. Consolidated financial statements of Forian issued after the consummation of the merger will reflect such values. MOR was determined to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the merger and other factors, such as relative voting rights and the composition of the combined company’s board of directors and senior management. The historical financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the merger, factually supportable, and with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company, as follows:
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 was prepared based on (i) the historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of MOR as of September 30, 2020 and (ii) the historical unaudited condensed balance sheet of Helix as of September 30, 2020.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 was prepared based on (i) the historical audited consolidated statement of operations of MOR from inception (May 6, 2019) to December 31, 2019 and (ii) the historical audited statement of operations of Helix for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was prepared based on (i) the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of MOR for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and (ii) the historical unaudited condensed statement of operations of Helix for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Forian is a Delaware corporation and was formed by MOR on October 15, 2020, for the purpose of effecting the merger and the contribution and all activity for Forian since its inception has been insignificant. To date, Forian has not conducted any activities other than those incidental to its formation and the matters contemplated by the merger agreement in connection with the merger and the contribution agreement in connection with the contribution. As of the completion of the business combinations, Helix and MOR will each become subsidiaries of Forian.
While Forian will be the legal acquirer, the merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). MOR will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer for financial accounting purposes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information set forth below primarily gives effect to the following:
the consummation of the merger between Helix and merger sub;
the consummation of the contribution from MOR;
the application of the acquisition method of accounting in connection with the merger and the contribution;
the conversion of Helix convertible notes and preferred stock into Forian common stock;
the exclusion of discontinued operations of Helix in the condensed combined statements of operations; and
the issuance of securities of MOR in a pre-closing private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”), required as a condition to closing pursuant to the merger agreement, with expected gross proceeds of $13,000,000.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data gives effect to the business combination as if it had occurred on September 30, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 give effect to the business combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2019.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company's financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the business combination been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to unaudited pro forma events that are directly attributable to the merger, factually supportable and, with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of the combined company. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not include any pro forma adjustments to reflect certain expected financial benefits of the merger, such as tax savings, cost synergies or revenue synergies, or the anticipated costs to achieve those benefits, including the cost of integration activities, or restructuring actions which may be achievable or the impact of any non-recurring activity and one-time transaction related costs.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under existing GAAP, which are subject to change. MOR will be deemed the accounting acquirer in the business combination for accounting purposes and Helix will be treated as the acquiree, based on a number of factors considered at the time of preparation of this proxy statement/prospectus, including control over the post-merger company as evidenced by the composition of executive management and the board of directors as well as the relative equity ownership after the closing of the business combination. The application of acquisition accounting of is dependent upon the working capital positions at the closing of the business combination, is dependent on other factors such as the share price of Helix immediately prior to the closing of the merger, and is dependent on certain valuations and other studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The combined company will complete the valuations and other studies upon completion of the business combination and will finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but in no event later than one year following the closing date of the merger. The assets and liabilities of Helix and other pro forma adjustments have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that Forian, MOR and Helix believe are reasonable, based on information that is currently available. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting could be significant, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the combined company's future results of operation and financial position.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by MOR. Upon completion of the merger, the combined company will perform a detailed review of Helix accounting policies and will conform the combined company policies. The combined company may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the combined company. Additionally, certain financial information of Helix as presented in its historical consolidated financial statements has been reclassified to conform to the historical presentation in MOR’s financial statements for purposes of preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. There were no transactions between MOR and Helix during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1.
Description of the Merger
On October 16, 2020, Helix, Forian, and MOR entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (which, as it may be amended, supplemented, or modified from time to time, and is referred to as the “merger agreement”) providing for the merger of a subsidiary of Forian with and into Helix (which we refer to as the “merger”), with Helix, following the merger, to be the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forian. Immediately prior to the consummation of the Helix merger, Forian and MOR will engage in a contribution transaction, pursuant to which the holders of the equity interests of MOR will contribute and exchange their MOR ownership interests for Forian common stock. This contribution will result in MOR also becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Forian.
As a result of the merger and the contribution, the holders of equity interests of MOR as of immediately prior to the merger effective date will collectively own approximately 72% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the combined company, and the holders of Helix common stock as of immediately prior to the effective time will collectively own approximately 28% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the combined company, including shares reserved for future issuance under Helix stock option plans. Helix common stock (including those resulting from the convertible notes and preferred stock and the notes but excluding dissenting shares and certain excluded shares as described in the enclosed proxy statement/prospectus) will be converted into the right to receive 0.02731 shares of Forian common stock, or approximately 4.2 million Forian shares. Each MOR unit, will be converted into the right to receive 0.9709 shares of Forian common stock, or approximately 12.9 million Forian shares.
2.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X. All amounts in these notes to unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are in thousands, except per share amounts. The historical financial information has been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to unaudited pro forma events that are:
directly attributable to the merger;
directly attributable to the contribution;
factually supportable; and
with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of the combined company.
Only transactions and activity that were deemed factually supportable under Article 11 of Regulation S-X have been reflected in preparation of these pro forma financial statements, which may cause pro forma cash and other balances to differ materially from the expected amounts at merger close.
The pro forma financial information contemplates certain financing transactions by MOR prior to the merger in order satisfy closing conditions as defined in the merger agreement to meet the targeted ownership structure of 72% and 28%, respectively.
The merger will be treated as a business combination for accounting purposes, with MOR as the deemed accounting acquirer and Helix as the deemed accounting acquiree. Therefore, the historical basis of MOR’s assets and liabilities will not be remeasured as a result of the merger. In identifying MOR as the acquiring entity, the companies considered the structure of the merger, the contribution, relative outstanding share ownership at closing and the composition of the combined company's board of directors and senior management.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The acquisition method of accounting uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”). Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
154

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Market participants are assumed to be buyers or sellers in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurement for an asset assumes the highest and best use by these market participants.
Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances.
Fair value estimates were determined based on preliminary discussions between Forian, MOR and Helix management, and a preliminary valuation of Helix assets and liabilities using September 30, 2020 as the measurement date. The allocation of the aggregate merger consideration used in the preliminary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on preliminary estimates. The estimates and assumptions are subject to change as of the effective time of the merger. Refer to Note 5 for additional information.
For pro forma purposes, the valuation of consideration transferred is based on, among other things, the number of Helix common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2020 and price per share as of November 20, 2020. Refer to Note 5 for additional information. This is used for pro forma purposes only. The consideration transferred will ultimately be based on the number of Helix common shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, which could materially change from the assumptions included in this pro forma financial information, noting the relative share ownership of MOR and Helix will be 72% and 28%, respectively. Additionally, for the purposes of this pro forma financial information, the consideration transferred ascribes no value to outstanding out-of-the-money Helix warrants and stock options not be converted to equity based on value of the exercise price of the instruments as compared to the market price of Helix’s shares.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data gives effect to the business combination as if it had occurred on September 30, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations data gives effect to the business combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2019. The pro forma financial information also excludes the discontinued operations reported in Helix historical condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss for nine-months ended September 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the periods or dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the combined company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has not been adjusted to give effect to certain expected financial benefits of the business combination, such as tax savings, cost synergies or revenue synergies, or the anticipated costs to achieve these benefits, including the cost of integration activities. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect possible adjustments related to restructuring or integration activities that have yet to be determined or transaction or other costs following the combination that are not expected to have a continuing impact on the business of the combined company. Further, one-time transaction-related expenses anticipated to be incurred prior to, or concurrent with, the closing of the business combination are not included in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations. However, the impact of such transaction expenses is reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as a decrease to cash and an increase to accumulated deficit.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is rounded in thousands and therefore subtotal and total amounts may differ due to rounding differences.
3.
Accounting Policies
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies of MOR. Following the merger, the combined company will conduct a review of accounting policies of Helix in an effort to determine if differences in accounting policies require further reclassification of results of operations or reclassification of assets or liabilities to conform to MOR’s accounting policies and classifications. As a result of that review, the combined company may identify differences among the accounting policies of the companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Certain financial information of Helix has been reclassified to conform to the historical presentation in MOR's financial statements as set forth below:
a.
Operating Expenses – operating expenses are consolidated to a single expense result to enable comparability across time periods for the combined businesses. Helix and MOR have historically categorized operating expenses differently and consolidating the two different approaches standardizes the presentation.

Reverse acquisition and purchase price allocation
Fair Value of Total Estimated Consideration Transferred
The fair value of preliminary purchase consideration expected to be transferred on the closing date includes the value of the estimated number of shares of the combined company to be owned by Helix shareholders prior to the closing of the merger. The value of Helix warrants and stock options is assumed at the intrinsic value. The fair value per share of Helix common stock was assumed for pro forma purposes to be $0.21 per share (the closing price of Helix common stock on November 20, 2020). Although changes in the stock price of Helix Common Stock will impact the fair value of total estimated purchase consideration transferred, they will not impact the 72%/28% split specified in the Merger Agreement.

The fair value estimate for all identifiable intangible assets is preliminary and is based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset, based on the most advantageous market for the asset (i.e., its highest and best use). This preliminary fair value estimate could include assets that are not intended to be used, may be sold, or are intended to be used in a manner other than their best use. The final determination of fair value of intangible assets, as well as estimated useful lives, remains subject to change. The finalization may have a material impact on the valuation of intangible assets and the purchase price allocation, which is expected to be finalized subsequent to the merger. A 10% change in the valuation of intangible assets would cause a corresponding increase or decrease to goodwill of approximately $520 at the merger date and a corresponding increase or decrease to amortization expense of approximately $26 and $52, respectively, the six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019, assuming an overall weighted-average useful life of 10 years.
The final purchase consideration will be based on the Helix closing price per share immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. Accordingly, the purchase consideration and goodwill may change significantly if the trading price of Helix’s common stock fluctuates materially from the November 20, 2020 value of $0.2101 per share. A 10% increase or decrease in Helix’s share price would result in the following changes in purchase consideration and goodwill:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF FORIAN CAPITAL STOCK
The following description of the material terms of the common stock and preferred stock of Forian is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Forian charter and the Forian bylaws, in each case that will be in effect as of the effective time. This description is subject to the detailed provisions of, and is qualified by reference to, the Forian charter and the Forian bylaws attached as exhibits to this proxy statement/prospectus and are incorporated herein by reference.
Authorized Capital Stock
The total number of shares of capital stock which Forian will have authority to issue is 100,000,000 shares. This authorized capital stock consists of 95,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each having a par value of $0.001 per share.
Following completion of the merger and the contribution we expect that there will be 16,998,975 shares of Forian common stock outstanding.
Common Stock
The shares of Forian common stock to be issued in the merger and the contribution will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Each holder of a share of Forian common stock will be entitled to one vote for each share upon all questions presented to the holders of Forian common stock, and the common stock will have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and for all other purposes (subject to the express terms of the preferred stock). The Forian stockholders will have no preemptive rights and no rights to convert their common stock into any other securities. There will also be no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Forian common stock.
Forian stockholders will be entitled to receive dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Forian board out of funds legally available therefor. Forian stockholders are entitled to share pro rata, upon any liquidation or dissolution of Forian, in all remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders after payment or providing for Forian’s liabilities and the liquidation preference of any outstanding Forian preferred stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the Forian stockholders are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of holders of any series of Forian preferred stock that Forian may designate and issue at the effective time and in the future.
Prior to the consummation of the merger, application will be made to list the Forian common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “FORA.”
Additional Classes or Series of Preferred Stock
The Forian charter will permit the Forian board, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series of preferred stock with such designations, powers, preferences, special rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the Forian board may determine from time to time. Accordingly, without action by the stockholders, the Forian board may designate and authorize the issuance of additional classes or series of Forian preferred stock having voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions (including sinking fund provisions) and rights in liquidation, dissolution or winding up that are superior to those of Forian common stock.
Charter and Bylaw Provisions; Takeover Statutes
A number of provisions in the Forian charter, the Forian bylaws and the DGCL may make it more difficult to acquire control of Forian or remove its management.
For additional detail on these provisions, please see “Comparison of Rights of Stockholders—Forian Stockholder Rights—Required Vote for a Sale of MOR” beginning on page 176.
Structure of Board
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provides that our board is classified into three classes of directors with the classes to be as nearly equal in number as possible, and with each director serving a three-year term. As a result, a third party may be discouraged from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us as it is more difficult and time consuming for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors on a classified board.
161

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Removal of Directors
In accordance with the DGCL and subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock, the entire Forian board or any individual director may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote in the election of the director or directors to be so removed.
Advance Notice of Proposals and Nominations
The Forian bylaws provide that stockholders must give timely written notice to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice will be required to be delivered to the principal executive offices of Forian not later than the 90th day nor earlier than the 120th day prior to the one (1)-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than thirty (30) days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. The Forian bylaws also specify the form and content of a stockholder’s notice.
For additional detail on these provisions, please see “Comparison of Rights of Stockholders—Forian Stockholder Rights—Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Nominations and Other Provisions” beginning on page 170. These provisions may prevent stockholders from bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or from nominating candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.
Limits on Special Meetings
The Forian bylaws and charter provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time by the chairperson of the board of directors, the chief executive officer, or by a majority of the members of the board of directors, or by a committee of the board of directors which has been duly designated by the board of directors and whose powers and authority, as provided in a resolution of the board of directors or in these bylaws, include the power to call such meetings, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons.
Amendment of the Forian Bylaws
The Forian board will be authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the Forian bylaws by a majority vote. Forian stockholders also will have the power to amend, alter, change, adopt and repeal the Forian bylaws, provided, however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of Forian required by law, such action by stockholders will require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
Preferred Stock
Please see “—Additional Classes or Series of Preferred Stock” above. Forian’s ability to issue an indeterminate number of shares of the authorized shares of preferred stock with such rights, privileges and preferences as the Forian board may fix may have the effect of delaying or preventing a takeover or other change of control of Forian.
Takeover Statutes
Section 203 of the DGCL generally prohibits “business combinations,” including mergers, sales and leases of assets, issuances of securities and similar transactions by a corporation or a subsidiary with an interested stockholder who beneficially owns 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock, within three (3) years after the person or entity becomes an interested stockholder, unless: (i) the board of directors of the target corporation has approved, before the acquisition time, either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the person
162

TABLE OF CONTENTS

becoming an interested stockholder, the person owns at least 85% of the corporation’s voting stock (excluding shares owned by directors who are officers and shares owned by employee stock plans in which participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer) or (iii) after the person or entity becomes an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least 6623% of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.
Forian does not expect to opt out of the protections of Section 203 of the DGCL. As a result, the statute will apply to Forian.
Exclusive Forum
The Forian bylaws provide that unless Forian consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware or, if and only if all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of Forian; (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of Forian, to Forian or its stockholders; (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against the corporation or any current or former director, officer or other employee of Forian, arising out of or pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of Forian (as each may be amended from time to time); (iv) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of Forian (including any right, obligation, or remedy thereunder); (v) any action or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; and (vi) any action asserting a claim against Forian or any director, officer or other employee of Forian, governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. The Forian charter also provides that unless Forian consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the District of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDERS’ RIGHTS
If the transactions are completed, Helix stockholders will receive shares of Forian stock in connection with the merger and become stockholders of Forian and members of MOR will receive shares of Forian stock in connection with the contribution and become stockholders of Forian. The following is a summary of certain differences between (i) the current rights of Helix stockholders under Delaware law, the Helix certificate of incorporation and the Helix amended and restated bylaws, (ii) the current rights of members of MOR under Delaware law, the MOR certificate of formation and the MOR amended and restate limited liability company agreement and (iii) the current rights of Forian stockholders under Delaware law, the Forian certificate of incorporation and the Forian bylaws.
The following summary is not a complete statement of the rights of stockholders of the three companies or a complete description of the specific provisions referred to below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL and Helix’s, MOR’s and Forian’s governing documents (which we urge you to read carefully and in their entirety). To find out where copies of these documents can be obtained, see “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 181 of this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, the identification of some of the differences in the rights of MOR members and Forian and Helix stockholders is not intended to indicate that other differences that are equally important do not exist. Forian, MOR and Helix urge you to carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus, the relevant provisions of the DGCL and the other documents to which Forian, MOR and Helix refer in this proxy statement/prospectus for a more complete understanding of the differences between the rights of a Forian stockholder and the rights of a Helix stockholder or MOR member.
Forian and Helix are each incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and, accordingly, the rights of Forian stockholders and Helix stockholders are both governed by the DGCL and other applicable Delaware law. MOR was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware and, accordingly, the rights of members of MOR are governed by the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. As a result of the merger, Helix stockholders will receive shares of Forian stock and become Forian stockholders. Thus, following the merger, the rights of Helix stockholders who become Forian stockholders in connection with the merger will continue to be governed by the DGCL and the other applicable Delaware law and will be governed by the Forian charter and the Forian bylaws. As a result of the contribution, MOR members will receive shares of Forian stock and become Forian stockholders. Thus, following the contribution, the rights of MOR members who become Forian stockholders in connection with the contribution will be governed by the DGCL and the other applicable Delaware law and will be governed by the Forian charter and the Forian bylaws.

Limitation on Director Liability
 
 
 
Helix’s Bylaws provide that the Corporation shall indemnify a person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the person was a party because the person is or was a director, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection with the proceeding.
MOR’s limited liability company agreement provides that a manager of MOR is personally liable to MOR or its members for any act or omission on behalf of MOR, provided that the act or omission is not determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in bad faith or to constitute gross negligence, willful misconduct or to have violated such lesser standard of conduct as under applicable law affirmatively prevents indemnification under the MOR limited liability company agreement.
Forian’s charter provides that a director of Forian is not personally liable to Forian or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director in accordance with and to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. If the DGCL is amended to authorize further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as amended.

was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if:

(1) The person conducted himself or herself in good faith; and (2) The person reasonably believed:
(A) In the case of conduct in an official capacity with the Corporation, that his or her conduct was in the Corporation's best interests; and
(B) In all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the Corporation's best interests; and
(3) In the case of any criminal proceeding, the person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

The Corporation may not indemnify a director:

(1) In connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the Corporation; or

(2) In connection with any other proceeding charging that the director derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving action in an official capacity, in which proceeding the director was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she derived an improper personal benefit.

Helix’s Bylaws provide that indemnification in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at
Company Act from time to time in effect, MOR shall indemnify, defend and hold each member and manager and their respective agents, employees, consultants and other independent contractors, harmless from and against all costs, liabilities, claims, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and damages arising from any demands, claims or lawsuits in connection with or resulting from his, her or its acts or omissions in his, her or its capacity as a member, manager, officer, employee or agent of MOR or as such an agent, employee, consultant or other independent contractor, or in connection with, arising from or relating to, business or activities undertaken on behalf of MOR, unless such acts or omissions are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in bad faith or to constitute gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct or to have violated such lesser standard of conduct as under applicable law affirmatively prevents indemnification under the MOR limited liability company agreement; provided, however, that no member or manager shall be entitled to indemnification under the MOR limited liability company agreement for any demands, claims or lawsuits initiated by such member or manager, other than any claim to enforce the provisions of indemnification and exculpation set forth in the MOR limited liability company agreement. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent or conviction shall not, of itself, create a presumption of an entitlement to indemnification hereunder or action not in good faith and or reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of MOR.

Forian may indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, any person who is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person:

(i) is or was a director, officer, or employee of Forian or any predecessor to Forian; or

(ii) is or was serving at the request of Forian or any predecessor to Forian as a director, officer, or employee at another enterprise.

Forian may, but is not required to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such person against any liability which may be asserted or enter into contracts providing for the indemnification of any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Mandatory Indemnification:

Forian’s charter provides that Forian shall indemnify, to the extent not prohibited by the DGCL, directors and executive officers of Forian for personal liability to Forian or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

Forian’s bylaws provided that Forian shall advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or executive officer, of Forian, or is or was serving at the request of Forian as a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,

Any such insurance may be procured from any insurance company designated by the Board of Directors, whether such insurance company is formed under the laws of this state or any other jurisdiction of the United States or elsewhere, including any insurance company in which the Corporation has an equity or any other interest through stock ownership or otherwise.
Each person to be indemnified shall be entitled to receive, upon application therefor, advances from MOR to cover the costs of defending any pending, threatened or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding against it for indemnified amounts in connection with which it would be entitled to indemnification under the MOR limited liability company agreement, provided that such advances shall be repaid to MOR if the recipient thereof is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have violated any of the standards set forth above that preclude indemnification.
prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or executive officer in connection with such proceeding, provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or executive officer in his or her capacity as a director or executive officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to Forian of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial adjudication that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses. No advance shall be made by Forian to an executive officer of (except by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of Forian) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, even if not a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Forian.

Preemptive Rights
 
 
 
MOR’s limited liability company agreement provides that the holders of Class A Units and Series S Preferred Units have rights of first offer and rights of first refusal regarding proposed issuances of additional interests by MOR or certain transfers of interests by members of MOR.
Forian’s stockholders do not have preemptive rights. Thus, if additional shares of Forian common stock are issued, the current Forian stockholders will own a proportionately smaller interest in a larger number of outstanding shares of common stock to the extent that they do not participate in the additional issuance.
 
 
 
Dividends and Share Repurchases
 
 
 
The Series A Preferred Stock shall bear no dividends, except that if the Board shall declare a dividend payable upon the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), the Board shall declare at the same time a dividend upon the then-outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, payable at the same time as the dividend paid on the Common Stock, in an amount equal to the amount of dividends per share of the Series A Preferred Stock as would have been payable on the largest number of whole shares of the Common Stock into which each share of the Series A Preferred Stock held by each holder thereof would be entitled to if such shares of the Series A Preferred Stock had been converted to the Common Stock.

The Series B Preferred Stock shall bear no dividends, except that if the Board shall declare a dividend payable upon the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), the Board shall declare at the same time a dividend upon the then-outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, payable at the same time as the dividend paid on the Common Stock, in an amount equal to the amount of dividends per share of the Series B Preferred Stock as would have been payable on the largest number of
MOR’s limited liability company agreement provides for distributions to the members of the proceeds of MOR, if any, as determined by the board of managers.
The DGCL provides that, subject to any restrictions in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, dividends may be declared from the corporation’s surplus, or if there is no surplus, from its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and for the preceding fiscal year. Dividends may not be declared out of net profits, however, if the corporation’s capital has been diminished to an amount less than the aggregate amount of all capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets until the deficiency in the amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets is repaired.

Appraisal Rights
 
 
 
Neither the Helix charter nor bylaws provide for appraisal rights in any additional circumstance other than as required by applicable law.
None.
Under the DGCL, a stockholder may dissent from, and receive payments in cash for, the fair value of his or her shares as appraised by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in the event of certain mergers and consolidations. However, stockholders do not have appraisal rights if the shares of stock they hold, at the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting of stockholders to act upon the merger or consolidation, or on the record date with respect to action by written consent, are either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders. Further, no appraisal rights are available to stockholders of the surviving corporation if the
177

merger did not require the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, appraisal rights are available if stockholders are required by the terms of the merger agreement to accept for their shares anything other than (i) shares of stock of the surviving corporation, (ii) shares of stock of another corporation that will either be listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders, (iii) cash instead of fractional shares or (iv) any combination of clauses (i)-(iii). Appraisal rights are also available under the DGCL in certain other circumstances, including in certain parent-subsidiary corporation mergers and in certain circumstances where the certificate of incorporation so provides.

Neither the Forian charter nor bylaws provide for appraisal rights in any additional circumstance other than as required by applicable law.

In order to allow Forian Inc. (“Forian”) and Helix Technologies, Inc. (“Helix”) to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement that contains a proxy statement/prospectus that includes Helix’s historical financial statements, the Commission’s rules require that the most recently filed annual financial statements be recast to reflect any subsequent changes in accounting principles or presentation that are being applied retrospectively. As a result, Helix has recast some of the financial information presented in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (filed with the Commission on March 30, 2020) (the “2019 Form 10-K”) to reflect certain changes in accounting principles or basis of presentation that are being applied retrospectively.
Specifically, Helix has recast its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and for each of the two years then ended and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition, to reflect the presentation of certain businesses sold during 2020 as discontinued operations. These changes have already been reflected in Helix’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 (filed with the Commission on November 16, 2020) (the “September 2020 Form 10-Q”). Except as related to the transactions and matters that have led to the recast financial information presented herein, the disclosures contained herein have not been updated for other transactions and/or events from those disclosures contained in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K; accordingly, the financial information herein should be read in connection with the Company’s recently filed September 2020 Form 10-Q.

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
Description of Business
Helix Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “Helix”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 13, 2014. Pursuant to the acquisition of the assets of Helix TCS, LLC, as discussed below, we changed our name from Jubilee4 Gold, Inc. to Helix TCS, Inc. effective October 25, 2015. Effective June 5, 2020, the Company changed its name from Helix TCS, Inc. to Helix Technologies, Inc.
Effective October 25, 2015, we entered into an acquisition and exchange agreement with Helix TCS, LLC. We closed the transaction contemplated under the acquisition and exchange agreement on December 23, 2015 and Helix TCS, LLC was merged into and with Helix.
Effective October 1, 2015, for accounting purposes, as part of an acquisition amounting to a reorganization dated December 21, 2015, Helix Opportunities LLC exchanged 100% of Helix TCS, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Security Consultants Group, LLC and Boss Security Solutions, Inc. to the Company in exchange for 20 million common shares and 1 million convertible preferred shares of the Company.
The acquisition of Helix was treated as a recapitalization for financial accounting purposes. Jubilee4 Gold, Inc. is considered the acquiree for accounting purposes and their historical financial statements before the Acquisition Agreement were replaced with the historical financial statements of the Company. The common stock account of the Company continues post-merger, while the retained earnings of the acquiree is eliminated. Furthermore, on April 11, 2016, the Company acquired the assets of Revolutionary Software, LLC (“Revolutionary”).
On March 3, 2018, Helix and its wholly owned subsidiary, Helix Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“BioTrackTHC Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “BioTrackTHC Merger Agreement”) with Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc. (“BioTrackTHC”) and Terence J. Ferraro, as the representative of the BioTrackTHC stockholders, pursuant to which BioTrackTHC Merger Sub merged with and into BioTrackTHC (the “BioTrackTHC Merger”).
On June 1, 2018 (the “BioTrackTHC Closing Date”), in connection with closing the BioTrackTHC Merger, the Company issued 38,184,985 unregistered shares of its common stock to BioTrackTHC stockholders, of which 1,852,677 shares were held back to satisfy indemnification obligations in the BioTrackTHC Merger Agreement, if necessary. The Company also assumed the Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (“BioTrackTHC Stock Plan”), pursuant to which options exercisable in the amount of 8,132,410 shares of common stock are outstanding. As a result, BioTrackTHC stockholders owned approximately 48% of the Company on a fully diluted basis as of the BioTrackTHC Closing Date.
On August 3, 2018 (the “Engeni Closing Date”), the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Engeni Merger Sub, LLC (“Engeni Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Engeni Merger Agreement”) with Engeni LLC (“Engeni US”), Engeni S.A (“Engeni SA”), Scott Zienkewicz, Nicolas Heller and Alberto Pardo Saleme (the Engeni US members), and Scott Zienkewicz, as the representative of the Engeni US members. Pursuant to the Engeni Merger Agreement, Engeni Merger Sub merged with and into Engeni US, with Engeni US surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Engeni Merger”).
On the Engeni Closing Date, in connection with closing the Engeni Merger Agreement, the Company issued 366,700 shares of Company common stock to Engeni US members. Furthermore, the Company subsequently issued Engeni US members 733,300 shares of Company common stock on April 2, 2019.
On April 1, 2019 (“Tan Security Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Membership Interest and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Tan Security Acquisition Agreement”) with Tan’s International Security and Tan’s International LLC (collectively, “Tan Security”). Pursuant to the Tan Security Acquisition Agreement, the Company purchased all membership interests and capital stock of Tan Security and collectively holds 100% of the interests of Tan Security (the “Tan Security Acquisition”).

On February 5, 2019, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Merger Sub, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amercanex Merger Agreement”) with Green Tree International, Inc. (“GTI”) and Steve Janjic, as the representative of the GTI shareholders, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into GTI (the “GTI Merger”).
On September 10, 2019 (the “GTI Closing Date”), the Company closed the GTI Merger and entered into an Addendum No. 1 to the Amercanex Merger Agreement acknowledging and approving certain events that occurred since signing as well as implementing various related amendments to the Amercanex Merger Agreement. In connection with closing the GTI Merger, the Company issued 16,765,727 unregistered shares of Company common stock to GTI shareholders, of which 4,140,274 shares were held back to satisfy indemnification obligations in the Amercanex Merger Agreement, if necessary.
On July 31, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Invicta Security CA Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), Invicta Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Invicta”), Boss Security Solutions, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Boss”), Security Consultants Group, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“SCG”), Tan’s International LLC, a California limited liability company (“Tan LLC”), and Tan’s International Security, Inc., a California corporation (“Tan Security”, collectively with Boss, SCG and Tan LLC, the “Sellers” or the “discontinued entities” or individually a “Seller”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Sellers sold, assigned, transferred, and delivered to Buyer the Assets (as defined in the Agreement) and Buyer paid aggregate consideration of $1,750,000 and assumed the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Agreement). The Assets included but were not limited to the right, title and interest in and to all assets and property, tangible and intangible, of every kind and description, used in, related to or necessary for the security guarding and protective guarding services business conducted by the Sellers. The Agreement contained certain customary representations and warranties made by the parties. The Sellers and Helix agreed to various customary covenants, including, among others, covenants regarding non-competition, the use and disclosure of confidential information, and the non-solicitation of business relationships. As collateral for Sellers’ indemnification obligations, Buyer held back $600,000 of the consideration pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Agreement. Please refer to the Discontinued Operations footnote in the accompanying financial statements for a further description.

Going Concern Uncertainty, Financial Condition and Management’s Plans
The Company believes that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that its available cash balance as of the date of this filing will not be sufficient to fund its anticipated level of operations for at least the next 12 months. The Company believes that its ability to continue operations depends on its ability to sustain and grow revenue and results of operations as well as its ability to access capital markets when necessary to accomplish the Company’s strategic objectives. The Company believes that the Company will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. The Company expects to finance future cash needs from the results of operations and, depending on the results of operations, the Company will need additional equity or debt financing until the Company can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever.
At December 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $3,416,501, as compared to working capital deficit of approximately $2,233,652 at December 31, 2018. The increase of $1,182,849 in the Company’s working capital from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019 was primarily the result of an increase in the Company’s convertible notes payable, net of discount – related party and accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by a decrease in contingent consideration and an increase in accounts receivable, net.
At December 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,141,652, as compared to working capital deficit of approximately $3,289,281 at December 31, 2017. The increase of $1,147,629 in the Company’s working capital from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018 was primarily the result of a decrease in the Company’s obligation to issue warrants, a decrease in the balance of the Company’s convertible notes payable, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and an increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by an increase in contingent consideration and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
The Company’s future capital requirements for its operations will depend on many factors, including the profitability of its businesses, the number and cash requirements of other acquisition candidates that the Company pursues, and the costs of operations. The Company has been investing in upgrading the capabilities of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

BioTrackTHC. The Company’s management has taken several actions to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations for the next twelve months, including growing and diversifying its revenue streams, selectively reducing expenses, and considering additional funding. Additionally, if the Company’s actual revenues are less than forecasted, the Company anticipates that variable expenses will also decline, and the Company’s management can implement expense reduction as necessary. The Company is evaluating other measures to further improve its liquidity, including the sale of equity or debt securities. Lastly, the Company may elect to reduce certain related-party and third-party debt by converting such debt into common shares. The Company’s management believes that these actions will enable the Company to meet its liquidity requirements for the next twelve months. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in any capital-raising efforts that it may undertake to fund operations during 2020 and beyond.
The Company plans to generate positive cash flow from its BioTrackTHC and Engeni software operations to address some of the liquidity concerns. The Company also plans to generate positive cash flows from the acquisition of Green Tree made during 2019. However, to execute the Company’s business plan, service existing indebtedness and implement its business strategy, the Company anticipates that it will need to obtain additional financing from time to time and may choose to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings, borrowings from affiliates or other arrangements. The Company cannot be sure that any additional funding, if needed, will be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all. Furthermore, any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities may dilute the Company’s current stockholders’ ownership and could also result in a decrease in the market price of the Company’s common stock. The terms of those securities issued by the Company in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors and may include the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect. The Company also may be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities it issues, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact the Company’s operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, any debt financing, if available, may subject the Company to restrictive covenants and significant interest costs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital, when needed, to continue operations in their current form.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which include Helix TCS, LLC (“Helix TCS”), Security Consultants Group, LLC (“Security Consultants”), Boss Security Solutions, Inc. (“Boss Security”), Security Consultants Group Oregon, LLC (“Security Oregon”), Security Grade, BioTrackTHC (since June 1, 2018), Engeni US (since August 3, 2018), Tan Security (since April 1, 2019) and Green Tree International, Inc. (since September 10, 2019). Security Consultants, Boss, Security Oregon, and Tan Security comprise the Company’s guarding business. This business segment was sold on July 31, 2020 and is classified as a Discontinued Operation in the accompanying financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Changes in estimates and assumptions are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known. Use of estimates includes the following: 1) allowance for doubtful accounts, 2) estimated useful lives of property, equipment and intangible assets, 3) intangibles impairment, 4) valuation of convertible notes payable and 5) revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from estimates.
Cash
Cash consists of checking accounts. The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019, 2018 or 2017.
F-14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information; and determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.
Management charges balances off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company determines when receivables are past due, or delinquent based on how recently payments have been received.
Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $156,709, $55,659, and $3,000 at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets, Including Definite Lived Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows derived from such assets. Definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of non-compete agreements and customer relationships. For long-lived assets used in operations, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted, probability-weighted future cash flows. The Company measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value. When an impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value.
Goodwill
Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. Helix reviews goodwill for possible impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
The impairment model prescribes a two-step method for determining goodwill impairment. However, an entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the two-step goodwill impairment test is necessary. The qualitative factors considered by Helix may include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, Helix’s outlook, market performance of Helix’s industry and recent and forecasted financial performance. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. In the first step, Helix determines the fair value of its reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, Helix then performs the second step of the impairment test, which requires allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities using the acquisition method prescribed under authoritative guidance for business combinations with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. An impairment charge is recognized when the implied fair value of Helix’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.
Assumptions and estimates used in the evaluation of impairment may affect the carrying value of long-lived assets, which could result in impairment charges in future periods. Such assumptions include projections of future cash flows and the current fair value of the asset. It was determined that during the first quarter of 2018, the Company’s entire amount of goodwill attributable to the Security Grade acquisition was impaired. See Note 8 for a further discussion on the impairment.
Accounting for Acquisitions
In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, the Company determines whether a transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed constitute a business. Each business combination is then accounted for by applying the acquisition method. If the assets acquired are not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction or other event as an asset
F-15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

acquisition. Under both methods, the Company recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The Company capitalizes acquisition-related costs and fees associated with asset acquisitions and immediately expense acquisition-related costs and fees associated with business combinations.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for its business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805-10, Business Combinations (“ASC 805-10”), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred. If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, the Company records the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date and any changes in fair value after the acquisition date are accounted for as measurement-period adjustments. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration resulting from events after the acquisition date, such as earn-outs, are recognized as follows: 1) if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, the contingent consideration is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity, or 2) if the contingent consideration is classified as a liability, the changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
The estimated fair value of net assets acquired, including the allocation of the fair value to identifiable assets and liabilities, was determined using established valuation techniques. The estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was determined using the income approach to valuation based on the discounted cash flow method. Under this method, expected future cash flows of the business on a stand-alone basis are discounted back to a present value. The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets, consisting of software and trade name acquired were determined using the relief from royalty method.
The most significant assumptions under the relief from royalty method used to value software and trade names include: estimated remaining useful life, expected revenue, royalty rate, tax rate, discount rate and tax amortization benefit. The discounted cash flow method used to value non-compete agreements includes assumptions such as: expected revenue, term of the non-compete agreements, probability and ability to compete, operating margin, tax rate and discount rate. Management has developed these assumptions on the basis of historical knowledge of the business and projected financial information of the Company. These assumptions may vary based on future events, perceptions of different market participants and other factors outside the control of management, and such variations may be significant to estimated values.
Revenue Recognition
Under FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The security services revenue is generated from performing armed and unarmed guarding which is contracted for on an hourly basis. Revenues associated with these contracted services are recognized under time-based arrangements as services are provided. The guarding and transportation security business is now a discontinued operation. The Company still provides monitoring services.
Additionally, the Company provides transportation security services, which are generally contracted for on a per-run basis and sometimes additional fees and surcharges are also billed to the client depending on the length of the run. Revenues associated with these services are recognized as the transportation service is provided.

The Company also generates revenue from developing and licensing seed to sale cannabis compliance software to both private-sector and public-sector (government agencies) businesses that are involved in cannabis related operations. The Company also generates revenue from on-going training, support and software customization services.
Occasionally, the Company will enter into systems installation arrangements. Installation jobs are estimated based on the cost of equipment to be installed, the number of hours expected to be incurred to complete the job and other ancillary costs. Revenue associated with these services are recognized over the arrangement period.
Lastly, the Company generates monthly recurring revenues from Cannalytics, its business intelligence and data tool for commercial customers. Revenue is recognized monthly.
Segment Information
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the financial performance and the results of operations of the segments prepared in accordance with GAAP when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company.
Asset information by operating segment is not presented since the chief operating decision maker does not review this information by segment. The reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Expenses
Cost of Revenue
The cost of revenues is the total cost incurred to obtain a sale and the cost of the goods or services sold. Cost of revenues primarily consisted of compensation for employees involved in the creation and development of licensing software.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses encompass selling general and administrative expenses, salaries and wages, professional and legal fees and depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of rent/moving expenses, advertising and travel expenses. Salaries and wages is composed of non-revenue generating employees. Professional services are principally comprised of outside legal, audit, information technology consulting, marketing and outsourcing services as well as the costs related to being a publicly traded company.
Other Income
Other income consisted of a gain on the change in fair value of convertible notes, gain on the change in the fair value of warrant liability, loss on the change in fair value of convertible notes – related party, loss on the change in fair value of contingent consideration, loss on issuance of warrants and interest expense.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives are 3 years for vehicles and 5 years for furniture and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and major improvements are capitalized. When assets are sold, or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in loss from operations.
Contingencies
Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions
F-17

TABLE OF CONTENTS

change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses and amounted to $378,233, $96,420, and $33,151 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Foreign Currency
The local currency is the functional currency for one entity’s operations outside the United States. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the end of each period. Income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net loss for the period.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating loss for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss consists of consolidated net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments. Foreign currency translation adjustments included in comprehensive loss were not tax-effected as investments in international affiliates are deemed to be permanent.
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company will determine the liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares.
Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet (“temporary equity”). The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity.
Initial Measurement
The Company records its financial instruments classified as liability, temporary equity or permanent equity at issuance at the fair value, or cash received.
Subsequent Measurement – Financial instruments classified as liabilities
The Company records the fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities at each subsequent measurement date. The changes in fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities are recorded as other expense/income.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Share-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in conformity with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Stock Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation to employees consist of stock option grants and restricted shares that are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, based upon the fair-value of the underlying instrument. The equity instruments are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest and is recognized as an expense over the period which services are received.
The Company calculates the fair value of option grants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model and estimates the fair value of the stock based upon the estimated fair value of the common stock. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight- line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”) provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.
Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are required to be recorded at fair value either on a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction based on market participants. The following section describes the valuation methodologies that the Company used to measure, for disclosure purposes, its financial instruments at fair value.
Convertible notes payable
The fair value of the Company’s convertible notes payable, approximated the carrying value as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. Factors that the Company considered when estimating the fair value of its debt included market conditions and the term of the debt. The level of the debt would be considered as Level 2.
F-19

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances from shareholders and obligation pursuant to acquisition approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of those items.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net 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 including stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt and convertible securities, using the if-converted method.
Basic net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common and common-equivalent shares outstanding. Potential common shares includable in the computation of fully-diluted per share results are not presented in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The anti-dilutive shares of common stock outstanding for years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings or cash flows as previously reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-.02, Leases (Topic 842) (“Topic 842”) which requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The most prominent of the changes in the standard is the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases.
The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and used the modified retrospective approach with the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, prior period balances and disclosures have not been restated. The Company elected certain practical expedients, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward prior conclusions about lease identification and classification.
Adoption of the standard resulted in the balance sheet recognition of additional lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $1,500,000. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company currently has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in separate lease and non-lease components for all our leases. For additional information regarding the Company’s leases, see Note 20 in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial

Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220); Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this ASU allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the ASU. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees and applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASC 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. This update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 removes certain disclosures, modifies certain disclosures and adds additional disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that this update will have on its financial statements and related disclosures
Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures effective for public companies for the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019.

Revenue Recognition
Adoption of ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company adopted the new revenue standard, ASC 606, using the modified retrospective method with respect to all non-completed contracts as of January 1, 2018. This method required retrospective application of the new accounting standard to all unfulfilled contracts that were outstanding as of January 1, 2018.
The Company has determined that there were no adjustments required with respect to the adoption of ASC 606 with respect to any prior periods.

The following is a description of the principal activities from which we generate our revenue.
Security and Monitoring Revenue
Helix provides monitoring of security alarms and cameras, which are charged out at an hourly rate, with invoices typically sent to clients shortly after each month-end for the previous month, with revenue being recognized over time. The customer simultaneously receives and consumes benefits provided by the Helix performance.
Systems Installation Revenue
Security systems, including Internet Protocol camera, intrusion alarm systems, perimeter alarm systems, and access controls are installed for clients. Installation jobs are estimated based on the cost of the equipment, the number of man hours expected to complete the work, supplies, travel, and any other ancillary costs. The installation is typically invoiced with 60% of the total price immediately after signing and the balance upon completion of the installation service. The timing of these contracts is short-term in nature and less than 12 months in duration, and revenue is recognized over the term of the contracts, utilizing the cost-to-cost method.
Software
The Company generates revenue from developing and licensing seed to sale cannabis compliance software to both private-sector and public-sector (government agencies) clients that are involved in cannabis related operations. The Company also generates revenue from on-going training, support and software customization services.
The private-sector software entails cultivation tracking, inventory management, point of sale and analytic reporting to assist businesses in meeting their compliance requirements and effectively managing their businesses. Customers within the private sector business are charged an initial one-time installation fee and the revenues associated with these services are recognized upon completion of installation and configuration at a point in time. After the installation and configuration of the software is completed, the customer is invoiced monthly and revenues associated with these services are recognized monthly over a period of time in which the customer continues to use the software and related services.
The public-sector software assists government agencies in efficient oversight of cannabis related business under their jurisdiction. Revenues associated with governmental contracts are longer-term in nature and recognized upon completion of certain milestones over a period of time or on a completed-contract basis at a point in time. The Company considers the contract to be complete when all significant costs have been incurred and the customer accepts the project. Costs incurred prior to the customer accepting the project are deferred and reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in accordance with ASC 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s contracts include a single performance obligation that is separately identifiable, and therefore, distinct. Under ASC 606, the allocation of transaction price is not necessary if only one performance obligation is identified.
F-22

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Significant Judgments
Accounting for long-term contracts involves the use of various techniques to estimate total contract revenue, costs and satisfaction of performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and subsequently recognizes revenue, at a point in time, as security and installation services are performed. There were no changes to the significant judgments used by the Company to determine the timing of satisfaction of the performance obligations under ASC 606.
Costs to Obtain or Fulfill Contract
The Company’s costs to fulfill or obtain contracts with customers primarily consist of commissions and legal costs. The Company provides sales team members with commissions at 0-6%. Although sales commissions are incremental in nature and are only incurred when a contract is obtained, there is no up-front commission paid on the satisfactory obtainment of a contract, resulting in no sales commissions being capitalized at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. The Company also incurs legal costs relating to the drafting and negotiating of contracts with select customers. Because legal costs are not incremental in nature and are incurred regardless of whether a contract is ultimately obtained, there were no legal costs capitalized as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Business Combination
Security Grade Acquisition
On June 2, 2017, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) in which the Company purchased all issued and outstanding Units of Security Grade Protective Services, Ltd. (“Security Grade”), which comprised of 800,000 Class A Units and 200,000 Class B Units. At closing, the Company delivered $800,000 in cash and 207,427 non-qualified stock options (the “Initial Stock Options”). Furthermore, provided that, within the first 60 days following the closing, no material customer identified in the Agreement terminates its contractual relationship with the Company and that all contracts with such material customers are in full force and effect without default or cancellation as of the 60th day following the closing, on the 61st day following the closing, the Company shall deliver an additional $800,000 in cash and issue 207,427 additional stock options (the “Additional Stock Options”). In the event of termination, cancellation or default of any contract with one or more material customer identified in the Agreement within the first 60 days following the closing, the stock options received by the acquiree shall be reduced and/or forfeited to the extent necessary (pro rata based upon their ownership interest in the Company immediately preceding the closing) by a percentage equal to the revenue received by the Company from the terminating customer(s) in the 180 days immediately preceding such termination divided by the revenue received by the Company from all material customers identified in the Agreement in the 180 days immediately preceding such termination. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had a liability pursuant to the Agreement of $0 and $101,667, respectively, payable following the closing.
The merger is being accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company’s allocation of the purchase price was calculated as follows:
Base Price - Cash
$2,100,373
Base Price - Stock Options
916,643
Contingent Consideration - Stock Options
916,643

The Company satisfied their contingent consideration liability during the third quarter of 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company reached settlement agreements with all six selling members. As a result of these settlements, a gain on reduction of obligation pursuant to acquisition in the amount of $607,415 has been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2018.
BioTrackTHC Acquisition
In connection with closing the BioTrackTHC Merger, the Company issued 38,184,985 unregistered shares of Company common stock to BioTrackTHC stockholders, of which 1,852,677 shares were held back to satisfy indemnification obligations in the BioTrackTHC Merger Agreement, if necessary. The Company also assumed the BioTrackTHC Stock Plan, pursuant to which options exercisable for 8,132,410 shares of Company common stock are outstanding so that the BioTrackTHC stockholders owned approximately 48% of the Company on a fully diluted basis as of the BioTrackTHC Closing Date.
The BioTrackTHC Merger is being accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company’s allocation of the purchase price was calculated as follows:

Engeni SA Acquisition
On the Engeni Closing Date, in connection with closing the Engeni Merger Agreement, the Company issued 366,700 shares of Company common stock to Engeni US members. Furthermore, the Company may also issue Engeni US members 366,700 and 366,600 shares of Parent common stock upon the achievement of specific objectives. If applicable, the Company will pay Engeni US members the aggregate amount of $100,000, on a pro rata basis, if Engeni SA reaches financial breakeven on or before December 31, 2018, as determined by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Scott Zienkewicz.
The Engeni Merger is being accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805.
During the first quarter of 2019, it was determined Engeni SA did not reach financial breakeven and therefore the contingent consideration of $100,000 was deemed by the Company not to be payable and was reduced to zero. In accordance with ASC 805-30-35-1, the Company recognized the change in the fair value of contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date in general and administrative expenses. The Company’s allocation of the purchase price was calculated as follows:
Base Price - Common Stock
$388,702
Contingent Consideration - Common Stock

Tan’s International Security
On the Tan Security Closing Date, the Company entered into the Tan Security Acquisition Agreement. Pursuant to the Tan Security Acquisition Agreement, Helix purchased all membership interests and capital stock of Tan Security and collectively holds 100% of the interests of Tan Security. The purchase price of $100,000 in cash plus 250,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock will be paid to Rocky Tan as follows:

$25,000 on the 8-month anniversary of the Tan Security Closing Date
$25,000 on the 12-month anniversary of the Tan Security Closing Date
The Tan Security Acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company has determined preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Tan Security Acquisition. These values are subject to change as we perform additional reviews of our assumptions utilized.

Pursuant to the Amercanex Merger Agreement, the Company issued to the GTI stockholders an amount of unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $15 million, based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the forty-five (45) trading day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the GTI Closing Date. If revenues of GTI in the second 12 month period following the GTI Closing Date exceed $5 million and are less than or equal to $10 million, the Company shall issue to the GTI shareholders a number of unregistered Helix shares (whether issued or reserved for issuance) equal to the quotient of (a) $5 million divided by (b) Helix share price multiplied by the quotient of (c) the revenues of GTI in the second 12 month period following the GTI Closing Date less $5 million divided by (d) $5 million.
To secure the indemnification obligations of the GTI shareholders to the Company under the GTI Merger Agreement, 4,140,274 of the Company shares issued to the GTI shareholders were held back and the Company is entitled to retain such number of the holdback shares as necessary to satisfy those indemnification obligations. 50% of the holdback shares that remain after satisfaction of any indemnification obligations will be released 12 months after the GTI Closing Date of the merger, and the remainder 24 months after the GTI Closing Date of the merger. Additionally, if in the first 12 months following the closing GTI generates less than $1.5 million of revenues, 100% of the holdback shares shall be returned to the Company.

F-39

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In connection with the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to issue warrants to a third-party for services to purchase 462,195 shares of common stock at $0.325 per share. These warrants have been accounted for as an obligation to issue because as of the balance sheet date the Company did not deliver the warrants though incurred the obligation; accordingly, they were recognized as a liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and cost of issuance of Series B preferred shares on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity.
In accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, there were 9,000,000 authorized Series B Preferred Stock at a par value of $ 0.001. On August 23, 2017 the Certificate of Designations was amended and restated to increase the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock authorized to be 17,000,000.
Conversion:
Each Series B Preferred Share is convertible at the option of the holder into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of Series B Preferred Shares to be converted, multiplied by the Preferred Conversation Rate. The Preferred Conversion Rate shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Preferred Stock Original Issue Price ($0.3253815) by the Preferred Stock Conversation Price in effect at the time of the conversion (the initial conversion price will be equal to the Preferred Stock Original Issue Price, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and fundamental transactions). Based on the current conversion price, the Series B Preferred Shares are convertible into 13,784,201 shares of common stock. A fundamental transaction means: (i) our merger or consolidation with or into another entity, (ii) any sale of all or substantially all of our assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any reclassification of our Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange by which Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property; or (iv) sale of shares below the preferred stock conversion price. Each Series B Preferred Share will automatically convert into common stock upon the earlier of (i) notice by the Company to the holders that the Company has elected to convert all outstanding Series B Preferred Shares at any time on or after May 12, 2018; or (ii) immediately prior to the closing of a firmly underwritten initial public offering (involving the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on an Approved Stock Exchange) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of the Common Stock for the account of the Company in which the net cash proceeds to the Company (before underwriting discounts, commissions and fees) are at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000).
Beneficial Conversion Feature – Series B Preferred Stock (deemed dividend):
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock, at any time at the option of the holder at any time on or after May 12, 2018. On May 17, 2017, the date of issuances of the Series B, the publicly traded common stock price was $3.98.
Based on the guidance in ASC 470-20-20, the Company determined that a beneficial conversion feature exists, as the effective conversion price for the Series B preferred shares at issuance was less than the fair value of the common stock into which the preferred shares are convertible. A beneficial conversion feature based on the intrinsic value at the date of issuances for the Series B preferred shares is scheduled below. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the beneficial conversion amount of $22,202,194 was accreted back to the preferred stock as a deemed dividend and charged to additional paid in capital in the absence of earning as the beneficial conversion feature is amortized over time through the earliest conversion date, May 12, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, the beneficial conversion feature was fully amortized. Provided below is a schedule of the issuances of Series B preferred shares and the amount accredited to deemed dividend at December 31, 2018.

Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after February 14, 2017 and on or before February 12, 2022, by delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise.

Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after April 26, 2017 and on or before April 26, 2022, by delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise.

For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded a change in fair value of the warrant obligations of $(676,144), $1,625,398 and $590,436, respectively, and is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Although the Company issued warrants during the first quarter of 2018, the rights entitled to the third-party holder of the warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock was not exercised. Upon exercising the right to purchase the Company’s common stock by the third-party, the Company will de-recognize the liability for warrant obligations and reclassify the appropriate amount into equity.
The fair value of the Company’s obligation to issue warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes model and the following assumptions:

Stock-Based Compensation
2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan
The Company’s 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) was adopted by our Board of Directors and a majority of our voting securities on October 17, 2017. The 2017 Plan permits the granting of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards and dividend equivalent rights to eligible employees, directors and consultants. We grant options to purchase shares of common stock under the 2017 Plan at no less than the fair value of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant. Options granted under the Plan have a maximum term of ten years. Under the Plan, a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance, of which options to purchase 2,599,945 and 1,004,945 shares of common stock were granted as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan
On October 22, 2014, BioTrackTHC approved and adopted the BioTrackTHC Stock Plan. The BioTrackTHC Stock Plan set aside and reserved 600,000 shares of BioTrackTHC’s common stock for grant and issuance in accordance with its terms and conditions. Persons eligible to receive awards from the BioTrackTHC Stock Plan include employees (including officers and directors) of BioTrackTHC or its affiliates and consultants who provide significant services to BioTrackTHC or its affiliates (the “Grantees”). The BioTrackTHC Stock Plan permits BioTrackTHC to issue to Grantees qualified and/or non-qualified options to purchase BioTrackTHC’s common stock, restricted common stock, performance units, and performance shares. The term of each award under the BioTrackTHC Stock Plan shall be no more than ten years from the date of grant thereof. BioTrackTHC’s Board of Directors or a committee designated by the Board of Directors is responsible for administration of the BioTrackTHC Stock Plan and has the sole discretion to determine which Grantees will be granted awards and the terms and conditions of the awards granted. The BioTrackTHC Stock Plan will annually increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder to 15% of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the first day of each calendar year beginning January 1, 2016 (see Notes 5 and 15).
BioTrackTHC Management Awards
On September 1, 2015 and November 1, 2015, BioTrackTHC’s Board approved individual employee option grants (the “Executive Grants”) for three executives (the “Executives”). Pursuant to the Executive Grants, the Executives were each granted stock options to purchase 146,507 shares (totaling 439,521 shares) of BioTrackTHC’s common stock (the “Option”) at an exercise price equal to approximately $7.67. The options vest as to 25% of the shares subject to the Options, one year after the date of grant and then in equal quarterly installments for the three years thereafter, subject to the Executive’s continued employment with BioTrackTHC (see Note 5 and 15).

Income Taxes
No provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been recorded as the Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. Significant components of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets for the
F-48

TABLE OF CONTENTS

years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 consist of income tax loss carryforwards. These amounts are available for carryforward for use in offsetting taxable income of future years through 2035. Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward period. Utilization of the net operating loss carry-forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. Due to the Company’s history of operating losses, these deferred tax assets arising from the future tax benefits are currently not likely to be realized and are thus reduced to zero by an offsetting valuation allowance. As a result, there is no provision for income taxes.
For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company has a net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $18,025,000, $12,686,000 and $7,380,000, respectively. Utilization of these net loss carry forwards is subject to the limitations of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company applied a 100% valuation reserve against the deferred tax benefit as the realization of the benefit is not certain.
20.
Commitments and Contingencies
Under Topic 842, operating lease expense is generally recognized evenly on a straight-line basis. The Company has operating leases primarily consisting of facilities with remaining lease terms of one year to five years. The lease term represents the period up to the early termination date unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will not exercise the early termination option. Certain leases include rental payments that are adjusted periodically based on changes in consumer price and other indices.
Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, the Company combines the lease and non-lease components in determining the lease liabilities and ROU assets.
Activity related to the Company’s leases was as follows:

Operating lease expense
$513,008
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities
$389,380
ROU assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations
$1,499,752
The Company’s lease agreements generally do not provide an implicit borrowing rate, therefore an internal incremental borrowing rate is determined based on information available at lease commencement date for purposes of determining the present value of lease payments. The Company used the incremental borrowing rate on December 31, 2018 for all leases that commenced prior to that date.
ROU lease assets and lease liabilities for the Company’s operating leases were recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as follows:

Segment Reporting
FASB ASC 280-10-50 requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach is based on the way a company’s management organized segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision–making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision–making group is composed of the Chief Executive Officer. The Company operates in three segments, Security and guarding, Systems installation and Software.
Asset information by operating segment is not presented below since the chief operating decision maker does not review this information by segment. The reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Description of Business
Helix Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “Helix”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 13, 2014. Pursuant to the acquisition of the assets of Helix TCS, LLC, as discussed below, we changed our name from Jubilee4 Gold, Inc. to Helix TCS, Inc. effective October 25, 2015. Effective June 5, 2020, the Company changed its name from Helix TCS, Inc. to Helix Technologies, Inc.
Effective October 25, 2015, we entered into an acquisition and exchange agreement with Helix TCS, LLC. We closed the transaction contemplated under the acquisition and exchange agreement on December 23, 2015 and Helix TCS, LLC was merged into and with Helix.
Effective October 1, 2015, for accounting purposes, as part of an acquisition amounting to a reorganization dated December 21, 2015, Helix Opportunities LLC exchanged 100% of Helix TCS, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Security Consultants Group, LLC and Boss Security Solutions, Inc. to the Company in exchange for 20 million common shares and 1 million convertible preferred shares of the Company.
The acquisition of Helix was treated as a recapitalization for financial accounting purposes. Jubilee4 Gold, Inc. is considered the acquiree for accounting purposes and their historical financial statements before the Acquisition Agreement were replaced with the historical financial statements of the Company. The common stock account of the Company continues post-merger, while the retained earnings of the acquiree is eliminated. Furthermore, on April 11, 2016, the Company acquired the assets of Revolutionary Software, LLC (“Revolutionary”).
On March 3, 2018, Helix Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Helix Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“BioTrackTHC Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “BioTrackTHC Merger Agreement”) with Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc. (“BioTrackTHC”) and Terence J. Ferraro, as the representative of the BioTrackTHC stockholders, pursuant to which BioTrackTHC Merger Sub merged with and into BioTrackTHC (the “BioTrackTHC Merger”).
On June 1, 2018 (the “BioTrackTHC Closing Date”), in connection with closing the BioTrackTHC Merger, the Company issued 38,184,985 unregistered shares of its common stock to BioTrackTHC stockholders, of which 1,852,677 shares were held back to satisfy indemnification obligations in the BioTrackTHC Merger Agreement, if necessary. The Company also assumed the Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (“BioTrackTHC Stock Plan”), pursuant to which options exercisable in the amount of 8,132,410 shares of common stock are outstanding. As a result, BioTrackTHC stockholders owned approximately 48% of the Company on a fully diluted basis as of the BioTrackTHC Closing Date.
On August 3, 2018 (the “Engeni Closing Date”), the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Engeni Merger Sub, LLC (“Engeni Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Engeni Merger Agreement”) with Engeni LLC (“Engeni US”), Engeni S.A (“Engeni SA”), Scott Zienkewicz, Nicolas Heller and Alberto Pardo Saleme (the Engeni US members), and Scott Zienkewicz, as the representative of the Engeni US members. Pursuant to the Engeni Merger Agreement, Engeni Merger Sub merged with and into Engeni US, with Engeni US surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Engeni Merger”).
On the Engeni Closing Date, in connection with closing the Engeni Merger Agreement, the Company issued 366,700 shares of Company common stock to Engeni US members. Furthermore, the Company subsequently issued Engeni US members 733,300 shares of Company common stock on April 2, 2019.
On April 1, 2019 (“Tan Security Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Membership Interest and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Tan Security Acquisition Agreement”) with Tan’s International Security and Tan’s International LLC (collectively, “Tan Security”). Pursuant to the Tan Security Acquisition Agreement, the Company purchased all membership interests and capital stock of Tan Security and collectively holds 100% of the interests of Tan Security (the “Tan Security Acquisition”).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On February 5, 2019, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Merger Sub, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amercanex Merger Agreement”) with Green Tree International, Inc. (“GTI”) and Steve Janjic, as the representative of the GTI shareholders, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into GTI (the “GTI Merger”).
On September 10, 2019 (the “GTI Closing Date”), the Company closed the GTI Merger and entered into an Addendum No. 1 to the Amercanex Merger Agreement acknowledging and approving certain events that occurred since signing as well as implementing various related amendments to the Amercanex Merger Agreement. In connection with closing the GTI Merger, the Company issued 16,765,727 unregistered shares of Company common stock to GTI shareholders, of which 4,140,274 shares were held back to satisfy indemnification obligations in the Amercanex Merger Agreement, if necessary.
On July 31, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Invicta Security CA Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), Invicta Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Invicta”), Boss Security Solutions, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Boss”), Security Consultants Group, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“SCG”), Tan’s International LLC, a California limited liability company (“Tan LLC”), and Tan’s International Security, Inc., a California corporation (“Tan Security”, collectively with Boss, SCG and Tan LLC, the “Sellers” or the “discontinued entities” or individually a “Seller”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Sellers sold, assigned, transferred, and delivered to Buyer the Assets (as defined in the Agreement) and Buyer paid aggregate consideration of $1,750,000 and assumed the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Agreement). The Assets included but were not limited to the right, title and interest in and to all assets and property, tangible and intangible, of every kind and description, used in, related to or necessary for the security guarding and protective guarding services business conducted by the Sellers. The Agreement contained certain customary representations and warranties made by the parties. The Sellers and Helix agreed to various customary covenants, including, among others, covenants regarding non-competition, the use and disclosure of confidential information, and the non-solicitation of business relationships. As collateral for Sellers’ indemnification obligations, Buyer held back $600,000 of the consideration pursuant to the Agreement. See Note 6 for additional details.
2. Going Concern Uncertainty, Financial Condition and Management’s Plans
The Company believes that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that its available cash balance as of the date of this filing will not be sufficient to fund its anticipated level of operations for at least the next 12 months. The Company believes that its ability to continue operations depends on its ability to sustain and grow revenue and results of operations as well as its ability to access capital markets when necessary to accomplish the Company’s strategic objectives. The Company believes that it will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. The Company expects to finance future cash needs from its results of operations and, depending on the results of operations, the Company may need additional equity or debt financing until it can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever.
At September 30, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,340,470 as compared to a working capital deficit of $3,416,501 at December 31, 2019. The decrease of $2,076,031 in the Company’s working capital deficit from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020 was primarily the result of proceeds received from the sale of common stock, a reduction in accounts receivable, and non-cash decreases in the fair market value of the Company’s convertible notes and warrant liability.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) recognized COVID-19 as a global pandemic, prompting many national, regional, and local governments, including in the markets that the Company operates in, to implement preventative or protective measures, such as travel and business restrictions, wide-sweeping quarantines and stay-at-home orders. While the Company is actively working to successfully navigate the financial, operational, and personnel challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. government, state and local government officials, and international governments to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain, out of the Company’s control and cannot be predicted at this time.
The Company’s future capital requirements for its operations will depend on many factors, including the profitability of its businesses, the number and cash requirements of other acquisition candidates that the
F-59

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Company pursues, and the costs of operations. The Company has been investing in upgrading the capabilities of its software business. The Company’s management has taken several actions to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations for the next twelve months, including growing and diversifying its revenue streams, selectively reducing expenses, and considering additional funding. Additionally, if the Company’s actual revenues are less than forecasted, the Company anticipates that variable expenses will also decline, and the Company’s management can implement expense reduction as necessary. The Company is evaluating other measures to further improve its liquidity, including the sale of equity or debt securities. Lastly, the Company may elect to reduce certain related-party and third-party debt by converting such debt into common shares. The Company’s management believes that these actions will enable the Company to meet its liquidity requirements for the next twelve months. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in any capital-raising efforts that it may undertake to fund operations during 2020 and beyond.
The Company plans to generate positive cash flow from BioTrackTHC to address some of the liquidity concerns. However, to execute the Company’s business plan, service existing indebtedness and implement its business strategy, the Company anticipates that it will need to obtain additional financing from time to time and may choose to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings, borrowings from affiliates or other arrangements. The Company cannot be sure that any additional funding, if needed, will be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all. Furthermore, any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities may dilute the Company’s current stockholders’ ownership and could also result in a decrease in the market price of the Company’s common stock. The terms of those securities issued by the Company in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors and may include the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect. The Company also may be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities it issues, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact the Company’s operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, any debt financing, if available, may subject the Company to restrictive covenants and significant interest costs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital, when needed, to continue operations in their current form.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which include Helix TCS, LLC (“Helix TCS”), Security Grade, BioTrackTHC (since June 1, 2018), Engeni US (since August 3, 2018), and Green Tree International, Inc. (since September 10, 2019). As of July 31, 2020, the date of the consummation of the sale of the Guarding segment, formerly owned subsidiaries Security Consultants Group, LLC (“Security Consultants”), Boss Security Solutions, Inc. (“Boss Security”), and Tan Security are presented as part of discontinued operations. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Changes in estimates and assumptions are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known. Use of estimates includes the following: 1) allowance for doubtful accounts, 2) estimated useful lives of property, equipment and intangible assets, 3) intangibles impairment, 4) valuation of convertible notes payable and 5) revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from estimates.
Discontinued Operations
In the third quarter of 2020, the Company determined that the Security and Guarding segment met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation as a result of the combined sale of the assets of Security Consultants, Boss Security, and Tan Security. These businesses represented the majority of the Company’s Security and Guarding segment.
F-60

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As the combined sale of the Security and Guarding segment represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results, these businesses were presented in discontinued operations separate from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, as applicable.
Cash
Cash consists of checking accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.
From time to time, the Company’s cash balances may exceed FDIC-insured limits. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company’s cash balances exceeded FDIC-insured limits by approximately $1,078,000 and $120,000, respectively. The Company’s cash accounts have been placed with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company has not experienced, nor does it anticipate, any losses with respect to such accounts.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information; and determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.
Management charges balances off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company determines when receivables are past due, or delinquent based on how recently payments have been received.
Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $362,631 and $273,138 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets, Including Definite Lived Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows derived from such assets. Definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of non-compete agreements and customer relationships. For long-lived assets used in operations, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted, probability-weighted future cash flows. The Company measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value. When an impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value.
Goodwill
Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. Helix reviews goodwill for possible impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
The impairment model prescribes a two-step method for determining goodwill impairment. However, an entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the two-step goodwill impairment test is necessary. The qualitative factors considered by Helix may include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, Helix’s outlook, market performance of Helix’s industry and recent and forecasted financial performance. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. In the first step, Helix determines the fair value of its reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, Helix then
F-61

TABLE OF CONTENTS

performs the second step of the impairment test, which requires allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities using the acquisition method prescribed under authoritative guidance for business combinations with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. An impairment charge is recognized when the implied fair value of Helix’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.
Assumptions and estimates used in the evaluation of impairment may affect the carrying value of long-lived assets, which could result in impairment charges in future periods. Such assumptions include projections of future cash flows and the current fair value of the asset
Accounting for Acquisitions
In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, the Company determines whether a transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed constitute a business. Each business combination is then accounted for by applying the acquisition method. If the assets acquired are not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, the Company recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The Company capitalizes acquisition-related costs and fees associated with asset acquisitions and immediately expenses acquisition-related costs and fees associated with business combinations.
The Company accounts for its business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805-10, Business Combinations (“ASC 805-10”), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred. If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, the Company records the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date and any changes in fair value after the acquisition date are accounted for as measurement-period adjustments. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration resulting from events after the acquisition date, such as earn-outs, are recognized as follows: 1) if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, the contingent consideration is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity, or 2) if the contingent consideration is classified as a liability, the changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
Business Combinations

ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred. If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, the Company records the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date and any changes in fair value after the acquisition date are accounted for as measurement-period adjustments.

The estimated fair value of net assets acquired, including the allocation of the fair value to identifiable assets and liabilities, was determined using established valuation techniques. The estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was determined using the income approach to valuation based on the discounted cash flow method. Under this method, expected future cash flows of the business on a stand-alone basis are discounted back to a present value. The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets, consisting of software and trade name acquired were determined using the relief from royalty method.
F-62

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The most significant assumptions under the relief from royalty method used to value software and trade names include: estimated remaining useful life, expected revenue, royalty rate, tax rate, discount rate and tax amortization benefit. The discounted cash flow method used to value non-compete agreements includes assumptions such as: expected revenue, term of the non-compete agreements, probability and ability to compete, operating margin, tax rate and discount rate. Management has developed these assumptions on the basis of historical knowledge of the business and projected financial information of the Company. These assumptions may vary based on future events, perceptions of different market participants and other factors outside the control of management, and such variations may be significant to estimated values.
Revenue Recognition
Under FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The security services revenue is generated from performing armed and unarmed guarding which is contracted for on an hourly basis. Revenues associated with these contracted services are recognized under time-based arrangements as services are provided.
Additionally, the Company provides transportation security services, which are generally contracted for on a per-run basis and sometimes additional fees and surcharges are also billed to the client depending on the length of the run. Revenues associated with these services are recognized as the transportation service is provided. The guarding and transportation security business is now a discontinued operation. The Company still provides monitoring services.
The Company generates revenue from developing and licensing seed to sale cannabis compliance software to both private-sector and public-sector (government agencies) businesses that are involved in cannabis related operations. The Company also generates revenue from on-going training, support and software customization services.
Occasionally, the Company will enter into systems installation arrangements. Installation jobs are estimated based on the cost of equipment to be installed, the number of hours expected to be incurred to complete the job and other ancillary costs. Revenue associated with these services are recognized over the arrangement period.
Lastly, the Company generates monthly recurring revenues from Cannalytics, its business intelligence and data tool for commercial customers. Revenue is recognized monthly.
Segment Information
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision-making group is composed of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, which reviews the financial performance and the results of operations of the segments prepared in accordance with GAAP when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company.
Asset information by operating segment is not presented since the chief operating decision maker does not review this information by segment. The reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Expenses
Cost of Revenue
The cost of revenues is the total cost incurred to obtain a sale and the cost of the goods or services sold. Cost of revenues primarily consisted of hourly compensation for security personnel and employees involved in the creation and development of licensing software.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses encompass selling general and administrative expenses, salaries and wages, professional and legal fees and depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of rent/moving expenses, advertising and travel expenses. Salaries and wages is composed of non-revenue generating employees. Professional services are principally comprised of outside legal, audit, information technology consulting, marketing and outsourcing services as well as the costs related to being a publicly traded company.
Other Income
Other income consisted of a gain on the change in fair value of convertible notes, gain on the change in the fair value of warrant liability, loss on the change in fair value of convertible notes – related party, loss on the change in fair value of contingent consideration, loss on issuance of warrants and interest expense.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives are 3 years for vehicles and 5 years for furniture and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and major improvements are capitalized. When assets are sold, or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in loss from operations.
Contingencies
Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses and amounted to $2,174 and $104,785 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $9,581 and $350,840 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Foreign Currency
The local currency is the functional currency for one entity’s operations outside the United States. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the end of each period. Income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net loss for the period.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect
F-64

TABLE OF CONTENTS

for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating loss for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss consists of consolidated net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments. Foreign currency translation adjustments included in comprehensive loss were not tax-effected as investments in international affiliates are deemed to be permanent.
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company will determine the liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares.
Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet (“temporary equity”). The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity.
Initial Measurement
The Company records its financial instruments classified as liability, temporary equity or permanent equity at issuance at the fair value, or cash received.
Subsequent Measurement – Financial instruments classified as liabilities
The Company records the fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities at each subsequent measurement date. The changes in fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities are recorded as other expense/income.
Share-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in conformity with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Stock Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation to employees consist of stock option grants and restricted shares that are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, based upon the fair-value of the underlying instrument. The equity instruments are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest and is recognized as an expense over the period which services are received.
The Company calculates the fair value of option grants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model and estimates the fair value of the stock based upon the estimated fair value of the common stock. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight- line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”) provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
F-65

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.
Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are required to be recorded at fair value either on a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction based on market participants. The following section describes the valuation methodologies that the Company used to measure, for disclosure purposes, its financial instruments at fair value.
Convertible notes payable
The fair value of the Company’s convertible notes payable, approximated the carrying value as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Factors that the Company considered when estimating the fair value of its debt included market conditions and the term of the debt. The level of the debt would be considered as Level 2.
Warrant liabilities
The fair value of the Company’s warrant liabilities approximated the carrying value as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Factors that the Company considered when estimating the fair value of its warrants included market conditions and the term of the warrants. The level of the warrant liabilities would be considered as Level 3.
Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, deposits and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances from related parties and obligation pursuant to acquisition approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of those items.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (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 including stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt and convertible securities, using the if-converted method.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, potential common shares includable in the computation of fully-diluted per share results are not presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings or cash flows as previously reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-.02, Leases (Topic 842) (“Topic 842”) which requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The most prominent of the changes in the standard is the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases.
The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and used the modified retrospective approach with the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, prior period balances and disclosures have not been restated. The Company elected certain practical expedients, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward prior conclusions about lease identification and classification.
Adoption of the standard resulted in the balance sheet recognition of additional lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $1,500,000. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company currently has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases
F-67

TABLE OF CONTENTS

that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in separate lease and non-lease components for all our leases. For additional information regarding the Company’s leases, see Note 18 in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220); Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this ASU allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the ASU. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees and applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASC 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. This update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 removes certain disclosures, modifies certain disclosures and adds additional disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2020. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The following is a description of the principal activities from which we generate our revenue.
Security Monitoring Revenue
Helix provides monitoring of security alarms and cameras, which are charged out at an hourly rate, with invoices typically sent to clients shortly after each month-end for the previous month, with revenue being recognized over time. The customer simultaneously receives and consumes benefits provided by the Helix performance.
Systems Installation Revenue
Security systems, including Internet Protocol cameras, intrusion alarm systems, perimeter alarm systems, and access controls are installed for clients. Installation jobs are estimated based on the cost of the equipment, the number of man hours expected to complete the work, supplies, travel, and any other ancillary costs. The installation is typically invoiced with 60% of the total price immediately after signing and the balance upon completion of the installation service. The timing of these contracts is short-term in nature and less than 12 months in duration, and revenue is recognized over the term of the contracts, utilizing the cost-to-cost method.
Software
The Company generates revenue from developing and licensing seed to sale cannabis compliance software to both private-sector and public-sector (government agencies) clients that are involved in cannabis related operations. The Company also generates revenue from on-going training, support and software customization services.
The private-sector software entails cultivation tracking, inventory management, point of sale and analytic reporting to assist businesses in meeting their compliance requirements and effectively managing their businesses. Customers within the private sector business are charged an initial one-time installation fee and the revenues associated with these services are recognized upon completion of installation and configuration at a point in time. After the installation and configuration of the software is completed, the customer is invoiced monthly and revenues associated with these services are recognized monthly over a period of time in which the customer continues to use the software and related services.
The public-sector software assists government agencies in efficient oversight of cannabis related business under their jurisdiction. Revenues associated with governmental contracts are longer-term in nature and recognized upon completion of certain milestones over a period of time or on a completed-contract basis at a point in time. The Company considers the contract to be complete when all significant costs have been incurred and the customer accepts the project. Costs incurred prior to the customer accepting the project are deferred and reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in accordance with ASC 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Generally,
F-69

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Company’s contracts include a single performance obligation that is separately identifiable, and therefore, distinct. Under ASC 606, the allocation of transaction price is not necessary if only one performance obligation is identified.
Significant Judgments
Accounting for long-term contracts involves the use of various techniques to estimate total contract revenue, costs and satisfaction of performance obligations. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and subsequently recognizes revenue, over time, as security and installation services are performed. There were no changes to the significant judgments used by the Company to determine the timing of satisfaction of the performance obligations under ASC 606.
Costs to Obtain or Fulfill Contract
The Company’s costs to fulfill or obtain contracts with customers primarily consist of commissions and legal costs. The Company provides sales team members with commissions at 0-6%. Although sales commissions are incremental in nature and are only incurred when a contract is obtained, there is no up-front commission paid on the satisfactory obtainment of a contract, resulting in no sales commissions being capitalized at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company also incurs legal costs relating to the drafting and negotiating of contracts with select customers. Because legal costs are not incremental in nature and are incurred regardless of whether a contract is ultimately obtained, there were no legal costs capitalized as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company did not record amortization of costs incurred to obtain the contract or any impairment losses for the period ending September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Green Tree International, Inc.
On February 5, 2019, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Merger Sub, entered into the Amercanex Merger Agreement with GTI and Steve Janjic, as the representative of the GTI shareholders, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into GTI (the “Merger”).
Pursuant to the Amercanex Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Company will issue to the GTI stockholders an amount of unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $15 million, based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the forty-five (45) trading day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the Closing Date. If the Closing occurs and revenues of GTI in the second 12 month period following the Closing Date exceed $5,000,000 and are less than or equal to $10,000,000, Parent shall issue to the Company Shareholders a number of unregistered Parent Shares (whether issued or reserved for issuance) equal to the quotient of (a) $5,000,000 divided by (b) the Parent Share Price multiplied by the quotient of (c) the revenues of the Company in the second 12 month period following the Closing Date less $5,000,000 divided by (d) $5,000,000.
To secure the indemnification obligations of the GTI shareholders to the Company under the Merger Agreement, 4,140,274 of the Company shares to be issued to the GTI shareholders will be held back and the Company will be entitled to retain such number of the holdback shares as necessary to satisfy those indemnification obligations. 50% of the holdback shares that remain after satisfaction of any indemnification obligations will be released 12 months after the closing date of the merger, and the remainder 24 months after the closing date of the merger. Additionally, the Amercanex Merger Agreement stated that if in the first 12 months following the closing GTI generates less than $1,500,000 of revenues, 100% of the holdback shares shall be returned to the Company. In connection with closing the Merger on September 10, 2019, the Company issued 16,765,727 unregistered shares of its common stock to GTI stockholders. In connection with the Merger, Steve Janjic joined the board of directors of the Company. As the $1,500,000 revenue threshold was not reached within the first 12 months, all 4,140,274 holdback shares were returned to the Company and the final purchase price allocation included the 12,625,453 unregistered shares of common stock issued to GTI.
The Merger is being accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company has determined fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the GTI merger.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

warrants have been accounted for as an obligation to issue because as of the balance sheet date the Company did not deliver the warrants though incurred the obligation; accordingly, they were recognized as a liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and cost of issuance of Series B preferred shares on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity.
In accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, there were 9,000,000 authorized Series B Preferred Stock at a par value of $ 0.001. On August 23, 2017 the Certificate of Designations was amended and restated to increase the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock authorized to be 17,000,000.
Conversion:
Each Series B Preferred Share is convertible at the option of the holder into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of Series B Preferred Shares to be converted, multiplied by the Preferred Conversation Rate. The Preferred Conversion Rate shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Preferred Stock Adjusted Issue Price ($0.3110812) by the Preferred Stock Conversation Price in effect at the time of the conversion (the initial conversion price will be equal to the Preferred Stock Original Issue Price, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and fundamental transactions). Based on the current conversion price, the Series B Preferred Shares are convertible into 14,417,856 shares of common stock. A fundamental transaction means: (i) our merger or consolidation with or into another entity, (ii) any sale of all or substantially all of our assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any reclassification of our Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange by which Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property; or (iv) sale of shares below the preferred stock conversion price. Each Series B Preferred Share will automatically convert into common stock upon the earlier of (i) notice by the Company to the holders that the Company has elected to convert all outstanding Series B Preferred Shares at any time on or after May 12, 2018; or (ii) immediately prior to the closing of a firmly underwritten initial public offering (involving the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on an Approved Stock Exchange) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of the Common Stock for the account of the Company in which the net cash proceeds to the Company (before underwriting discounts, commissions and fees) are at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000).
As a result of the Company’s financing at $.11 per share during May and June 2020 the number of shares of common stock the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into increased from 13,784,201 to 14,417,856.
Dividends, Voting Rights and Liquidity Value:
Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, the Series B Preferred Shares shall bear no dividends, except that if the Board shall declare a dividend payable upon the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Series B Preferred Shares vote together with the common stock and all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions to be taken by the stockholders of the Company including, but not limited to, actions amending the certificate of incorporation of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of the common stock. Upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Series B Preferred Shares are entitled to (i) first receive distributions out of our assets in an amount per share equal to the Stated Value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, whether capital or surplus before any distributions shall be made on any shares of common stock and (ii) second, on an as-converted basis alongside the common stock.
Classification:
These Series B Preferred Shares are classified within permanent equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as they do not meet the criteria that would require presentation outside of permanent equity under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.

16. Warrant Liability
On March 1, 2019, in connection with the issuance of Note Ten, the Company issued warrants, of which the value was derived and based off the fair value of Note Ten, to the investor to purchase 160,715 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.40 per share. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by the warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after March 1, 2019 and on or before March 1, 2024, by delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise.
The Company determined that the warrants associated with Note Ten are puttable for cash upon a fundamental transaction at the option of the holder and as such required classification as a liability pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Company has no plans to consummate a fundamental transaction and does not believe a fundamental transaction is likely to occur during the remaining term of the outstanding warrants. In accordance with ASC 480, the outstanding warrants are recognized as a warrant liability on the balance sheet and are measured at their inception date fair value and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a component of other income in the statement of operations. At December 31, 2019, the fair value of the warrant liability was $54,620 while as of September 30, 2020, the fair value of the warrant liability was $8,525. Accordingly, the Company recorded a change in fair value of the warrant liability of $(46,095) related to Note Ten for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
On January 10, 2019, the Company entered into an Investment Unit Purchase Agreement (the “First Investment Agreement”) to issue and sell investment units to an investor, in which the investment units consist of one share of the common stock of the Company, and a warrant exercisable for one half share of common stock of the Company at an Exercise Price of $1.25 per share for cash at a price per investment unit of $0.90.
On March 5, 2019, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,255,222 units of the Company’s securities to an investor at a purchase price of $0.90 per unit for total proceeds of $1,129,700. In connection with the First Investment Agreement, the investor is entitled to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price, at any time on or after 90 days from the issuance date, 627,611 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “March Warrant Shares”).
The Company determined that the warrants are puttable for cash upon a fundamental transaction at the option of the holder and as such required classification as a liability pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Company has no plans to consummate a fundamental transaction and does not believe a fundamental transaction is likely to occur during the remaining term of the outstanding warrants. In accordance with the accounting guidance, the outstanding warrants are recognized as a warrant liability on the balance sheet and are measured at their inception date fair value and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a component of other income in the statement of operations.
The fair value of the March Warrant Shares at issuance on January 10, 2019 is in excess of the proceeds received, the warrant liability is required to be recorded at fair value with the excess of the fair value over the proceeds received recognized as a loss in earnings.

2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan
The Company’s 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) was adopted by our Board of Directors and a majority of our voting securities on October 17, 2017. On April 13, 2020 our Board of Directors approved
F-86

TABLE OF CONTENTS

an amendment to the 2017 Plan and a majority of our voting securityholders approved the amendment on April 22, 2020. The 2017 Plan permits the granting of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards and dividend equivalent rights to eligible employees, directors and consultants. We grant options to purchase shares of common stock under the 2017 Plan at no less than the fair value of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant. Options granted under the Plan have a maximum term of ten years. Under the Plan, a total of 11,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance. Options to purchase 4,715,000 and 1,835,000 shares of common stock and were granted as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. 2,943,745 and 764,945 shares of common stock had been granted as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan
On October 22, 2014, BioTrackTHC approved and adopted the BioTrackTHC Stock Plan. The BioTrackTHC Stock Plan set aside and reserved 600,000 shares of BioTrackTHC’s common stock for grant and issuance in accordance with its terms and conditions. Persons eligible to receive awards from the BioTrackTHC Stock Plan include employees (including officers and directors) of BioTrackTHC or its affiliates and consultants who provide significant services to BioTrackTHC or its affiliates (the “Grantees”). The BioTrackTHC Stock Plan permits BioTrackTHC to issue to Grantees qualified and/or non-qualified options to purchase BioTrackTHC’s common stock, restricted common stock, performance units, and performance shares. The term of each award under the BioTrackTHC Stock Plan shall be no more than ten years from the date of grant thereof. BioTrackTHC’s Board of Directors or a committee designated by the Board of Directors is responsible for administration of the BioTrackTHC Stock Plan and has the sole discretion to determine which Grantees will be granted awards and the terms and conditions of the awards granted. On February 29, 2020, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company’s BioTrackTHC subsidiary forfeited 204,364 Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan stock options as a result of his termination (See Note 14).
BioTrackTHC Management Awards
On September 1, 2015 and November 1, 2015, BioTrackTHC’s Board approved individual employee option grants (the “Executive Grants”) for three executives (the “Executives”). Pursuant to the Executive Grants, the Executives were each granted stock options to purchase 146,507 shares (totaling 439,521 shares) of BioTrackTHC’s common stock (the “Option”) at an exercise price equal to approximately $7.67. The options vest as to 25% of the shares subject to the Options, one year after the date of grant and then in equal quarterly installments for the three years thereafter, subject to the Executive’s continued employment with BioTrackTHC (see Notes 1 and 5). On February 29, 2020, the former President of the Company’s BioTrackTHC subsidiary forfeited 1,430,306 BioTrackTHC Management Awards (See Note 14).
18. Income Taxes
No provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been recorded as the Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. Significant components of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 consist of income tax loss carryforwards. These amounts are available for carryforward for use in offsetting taxable income of future years through 2035. Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward period. Utilization of the net operating loss carry-forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. Due to the Company’s history of operating losses, these deferred tax assets arising from the future tax benefits are currently not likely to be realized and are thus reduced to zero by an offsetting valuation allowance. As a result, there is no provision for income taxes.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $20,077,000 and $16,952,000, respectively. Utilization of these net loss carry forwards is subject to the limitations of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company applied a 100% valuation reserve against the deferred tax benefit as the realization of the benefit is not certain.
19. Commitments and Contingencies
Under Topic 842, operating lease expense is generally recognized evenly on a straight-line basis. The Company has operating leases primarily consisting of facilities with remaining lease terms of one year to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

five years. The lease term represents the period up to the early termination date unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will not exercise the early termination option. Certain leases include rental payments that are adjusted periodically based on changes in consumer price and other indices.
Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, the Company combines the lease and non-lease components in determining the lease liabilities and ROU assets.
Activity related to the Company’s leases was as follows:

The Company’s lease agreements generally do not provide an implicit borrowing rate, therefore an internal incremental borrowing rate is determined based on information available at lease commencement date for purposes of determining the present value of lease payments. The Company used the incremental borrowing rate on December 31, 2018 for all leases that commenced prior to that date.

20. Segment Results
FASB ASC 280-10-50 requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach is based on the way a company’s management organized segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision–making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision–making group is composed of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. The Company operates in three segments, Security and guarding, Systems installation and Software.
Asset information by operating segment is not presented below since the chief operating decision maker does not review this information by segment. The reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The following represents selected information for the Company’s reportable segments:

The chief operating decision making group uses net loss before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization and adjusted for non-core or certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as a non-GAAP measure to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net loss, loss from operations, or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. From time to time, we may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges that affect the period-to-period comparability of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our chief operating decision maker. Net loss is reconciled to Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Members and Board of Directors of
Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members’ deficit and cash flows for the period from inception (May 6, 2019) through December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from inception (May 6, 2019) through December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD FROM INCEPTION (MAY 6, 2019) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2019
Note 1 BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC (“Parent” or “The Company”) was established on May 6, 2019 in Delaware. MOR Analytics, LLC and COR Analytics, LLC are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Parent. The Company is a technology and analytics company building a data management platform and has assembled a repository of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) compliant, encrypted, deidentified patient-level health data in the United States. The Company is an early stage entity and plans to provide Data, Business Intelligence Technology, and Outcomes Studies to its customers to help them improve the performance of their businesses.
Note 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit and accumulated deficit. The Company believes it can continue as a going concern as its cash resources available as of the date of these financial statements coupled with additional equity financing available will be sufficient to allow the Company to fund its current operating plan through the required minimum of at least the next twelve months from the date of filing this report. There can be no assurance, however, that the current operating plan will be achieved in the timeframe anticipated by the Company, or that its cash resources will fund the Company’s operating plan for the period anticipated by the Company or that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
Note 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries COR Analytics, LLC and MOR Analytics, LLC. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses together with amounts disclosed in related notes to the financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates used in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, fair value for equity securities and stock-based compensation. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is possible that the external factors could have an effect on the Company estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
F-97

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, accounts receivable, and accrued liabilities and other liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Credit Risk
The Company considers all cash accounts that are not subject to withdrawal restrictions and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, as cash and cash equivalents or marketable securities.
The Company maintains cash with major financial institutions. Cash held at U.S. bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. The portion of deposits in excess of FDIC coverage is not subject to such insurance and represents a credit risk to the Company. At times, the Company’s deposits exceed this coverage. There were no uninsured cash balances as of December 31, 2019.
The Company purchases overnight securities with any excess cash available to maximize the return on liquid assets. The fair value estimate for these investments are assessed using Level 1 criteria by the company with minimal risk of loss due to the nature of these investments and the short term to maturity.
Vendor Concentration
Total expenses incurred in 2019 were $1,292,172. Vendors with a 10% or greater share of the total expenses are as follows:
Vendor Description
Amount
Percentage
Vendor A
$544,375
42.1%
Vendor B
227,593
17.6%
 
$771,968
59.7%
Accounts payable at December 31, 2019 consisted of two vendors, with one vendor comprising 62% of the total and the other comprising 38% of the total. The Company believes there are numerous alternatives to its vendors, however the loss of a significant vendor could negatively impact operations.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation which is recorded commencing at the in-service date using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to charge the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3-7 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets annually and whenever events and or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying value. There were no impairment losses recognized.
Software Development Costs
The Company accounts for costs incurred in the development of computer software in accordance with ASC Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software. Costs incurred in the application development stage are subject to capitalization and subsequent amortization and impairment. Application development stage costs were not material for the Company. Product development costs are primarily comprised of personnel costs incurred related to activities for evaluating future changes to the software, testing, bug fixes, and other maintenance activities. Product development costs are expensed as incurred.
Share-Based Compensation
Compensation cost for profit interest awards is generally recognized over the required service period based on the fair value of the awards on their grant date. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model wherein the discount rate is based on published daily treasury interest rates for zero-coupon bonds

available from the US Treasury. Volatility is based on the historical volatility over a period that is commensurate with the expected life of the profit interests granted. Please see Black-Sholes inputs below for profits interest units granted during the period from inception (May 6, 2019) through December 31, 2019.

Income Taxes
The Company is organized as an LLC and as a result is treated as a Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company’s taxable income, deductions, assets and liabilities are reported by the members on their respective income tax returns. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income tax has been made by the Company for the period from inception (May 6, 2019) through December 31, 2019.
There are no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If the Company were to incur an income tax liability in the future, interest on any income tax liability would be reported as interest expense and penalties on any income tax would be reported as income taxes. Management’s conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analysis of or changes in tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof as well as other factors.
Note 4 PROMISSORY NOTES
On May 6, 2019, the Company entered into an arrangement with related parties to issue two separate promissory notes (“Note” or “Notes”) entitling the Company to secure up to $100,000 per Note to fund operations. The Notes had no interest rate and were due on the sooner to occur of the initial closing of the Company’s Series S Preferred Unit financing or December 31, 2020. Imputed interest is minimal. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had drawn $92,150 from each Note for a total of $184,300. The note holders had the option to apply the outstanding amount to the purchase of Series S preferred units in the equity financing, which they elected to do in March 2020 (see Note 13).
Note 5 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
During the period from inception (May 6, 2019) through December 31, 2019, the Company granted 1,018,821 Class B profit interest units with a fair value of $0.0282 per unit to employees and advisors to the Company, of which 276,976 were vested as of December 31, 2019. Class B units have specific thresholds above which the members participate. The fair value of these interests were determined using the Black Scholes model as equity interests and were discounted as appropriate for lack of control and marketability. As a result, the fair value of the grants issued during the period from inception (May 6, 2019) through December 31, 2019 totaled $28,731, of which compensation expense totaling $7,811 was recognized during the period. The intrinsic value of all profits interest units as of December 31, 2019 was zero. The unvested expense related to these awards will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.75 years.
Note 6 OPERATING LEASES
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842. All contracts are evaluated to determine whether or not they represent a lease. A lease conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Leases we identify are classified as finance or operating in accordance with the guidance in ASC 842. The Company does not hold any finance leases.
The Company has a single, short-term lease related to an office in Newtown, PA. The office space is currently leased on a month to month basis. A short-term lease is a lease with a term of 12 months or less and does not include the option to purchase the underlying asset that we would expect to exercise. We have elected to adopt the short-term lease exemption in ASC 842 and as such have not recognized a “right of use” asset or lease liability in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. The total rent expense for the period from inception (May 6, 2019) through December 31, 2019 was $4,289.

Note 13 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Except as disclosed below, management has evaluated subsequent events or transactions occurring through the date these financial statements were issued and has not identified any items requiring adjustment to or disclosure in these financial statements.
COVID-19
A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in December 2019, and subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization.
Our business has largely operated in a work-from-home environment since its inception and, as a result, has experienced limited disruption due to this pandemic. The leadership team continues to focus on the highest level of safety measures to protect our employees.
We have not experienced a material impact to our financial results to date, however, COVID-19 continues to present significant uncertainty in the future economic outlook for our customers and the markets we serve.
MERGER WITH HELIX TECHNOLOGIES
On October 16, 2020, Forian Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Helix Technologies, Inc. (“Helix”) pursuant to which Helix will merge with an into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forian, Inc. (“Forian”), with Helix surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forian. Concurrently, the Company’s members will enter into a contribution agreement pursuant to which the members will contribute their membership interest in the Company to Forian in exchange for shares of Forian common stock, thereby the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forian.
While Forian will be the legal acquirer, the merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). The Company will be deemed the accounting acquirer in the business combination for accounting purposes and Helix will be treated as the acquiree, based on a number of factors considered at the time of preparation of this proxy statement/prospectus, including control over the post-merger company as evidenced by the composition of executive management and the board of directors as well as the relative equity ownership after the closing of the business combination. The application of acquisition accounting of is dependent upon the working capital positions at the closing of the business combination, is dependent on other factors such as the share price of Helix immediately prior to the closing of the merger, and is dependent on certain valuations and other studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The combined company will complete the valuations and other studies upon completion of the business combination and will finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but in no event later than one year following the closing date of the merger. Consolidated financial statements of Forian issued after the consummation of the merger will reflect such values. In addition, costs incurred in connection with the business combination will be expensed as incurred unless related to the equity issuance. The operating results of Helix will be included in Forian’ consolidated financial statements from the date the merger is consummated and forward.
SERIES S AND SERIES S-1 FINANCING
In March 2020, the Company completed an equity financing (“Series S”) with cash proceeds of approximately $3.3 million and converted promissory notes of $184,300 (see Note 4). A total of 3,079,623 Series S preferred units were authorized. The $3.5 million was exchanged for 3,078,276 Series S preferred units.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 (UNAUDITED) AND
FROM INCEPTION (MAY 6, 2019) THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC (“Parent,” “The Company” or “we”) was established on May 6, 2019 in Delaware. MOR Analytics, LLC and COR Analytics, LLC are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Parent. The Company is a technology and analytics company building a data management platform and has assembled a repository of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) compliant, encrypted, deidentified patient-level health data in the United States. The Company is an early stage entity and provides Data, Business Intelligence Technology, and Outcomes Studies to its customers to help them improve the performance of their businesses.
Note 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2020. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had positive working capital but was in an accumulated deficit position. The Company believes it can continue as a going concern as its cash resources available as of the date of these financial statements coupled with additional equity financing available will be sufficient to allow the Company to fund its current operating plan through the required minimum of at least the next twelve months from the date of filing this report. There can be no assurance, however, that the current operating plan will be achieved in the timeframe anticipated by the Company, or that its cash resources will fund the Company’s operating plan for the period anticipated by the Company or that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
Note 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries COR Analytics, LLC and MOR Analytics, LLC. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses together with amounts disclosed in related notes to the financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates used in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, fair value for equity securities and stock-based compensation. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is possible that the external factors could have an effect on the Company estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an ordinary
F-107

TABLE OF CONTENTS

transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, accounts receivable, and accrued liabilities and other liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Credit Risk
The Company considers all cash accounts that are not subject to withdrawal restrictions and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, as cash and cash equivalents or marketable securities.
The Company maintains cash with major financial institutions. Cash held at U.S. bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. The portion of deposits in excess of FDIC coverage is not subject to such insurance and represents a credit risk to the Company. At times, the Company’s deposits exceed this coverage. There were no uninsured cash balances as of September 30, 2020.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue from contracts with clients by applying the requirements of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”): (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company derives its revenue from subscription services and data product revenues, which are comprised of subscription fees from customers accessing the Company’s analytics platform or data product solutions, and related services and other revenues. Subscription fees: Subscription fees include use of the Company’s platform, implementation, support and other services which represent a single promise to provide continuous access to its software solutions. The Company recognizes revenue over time for the life of the contract.
The subscription arrangements are considered service contracts, and the customer does not have the right to take possession of the software. The services arrangements are generally non-cancelable and do not provide for refunds to customers in the event of cancellations.
Deferred costs (costs to fulfill a contract and contract acquisition costs): Costs to fulfill a contract, which include salaries, are not material.
Contract acquisition costs, which consist of sales commissions paid or payable, is considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions for initial and renewal contracts are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. As a practical expedient, the Company expenses sales commission as incurred when the amortization period of related deferred commission costs would have been one year or less.
Reliance on Key Vendors
The Company has licensed certain data sets from a third party as a key input to the Company’s products and services. Licensing fees to this vendor represented 13% and 71% of the Company’s operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and for the period from inception (May 6, 2019) through December 31, 2019, respectively. In addition, the Company utilizes a third party for its technical infrastructure. These vendors are critical to the business. The Company believes that while these vendors are ultimately replaceable, any disruption associated with these vendors could have a material short-term impact on the business.
F-108

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation which is recorded commencing at the in-service date using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to charge the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3-7 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets annually and whenever events and or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying value. There were no impairment losses recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the period from inception (May 6, 2019) through September 30, 2019.
Software Development Costs
The Company accounts for costs incurred in the development of computer software in accordance with ASC Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software. Costs incurred in the application development stage are subject to capitalization and subsequent amortization and impairment. Application development stage costs were not material for the Company. Product development costs are primarily comprised of personnel costs incurred related to activities for evaluating future changes to the software, testing, bug fixes, and other maintenance activities. Product development costs are expensed as incurred.
Share Based Compensation
Compensation cost for profit interest awards is generally recognized over the required service period based on the fair value of the awards on their grant date. Fair Value is determined using the Black Scholes option-pricing model wherein the discount rate is based on published daily treasury interest rates for zero-coupon bonds available from the US Treasury. Volatility is based on the historical volatility over a period that is commensurate with the expected life of the profit interests granted. Black-Sholes inputs for profits interest units granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are presented below. There were no profits interest units granted during the period from inception (May 6, 2019) through September 30, 2019.
Risk Free Rate
0.16%
Volatility
65%
Expected Term
3 Years
Dividend Rate
0.0%
Income Taxes
The Company is organized as an LLC and as a result is treated as a Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company’s taxable income, deductions, assets and liabilities are reported by the members on their respective income tax returns. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income tax has been made by the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 or the period from inception (May 6, 2019) through September 30, 2019.
There are no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If the Company were to incur an income tax liability in the future, interest on any income tax liability would be reported as interest expense and penalties on any income tax would be reported as income taxes. Management’s conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analysis of or changes in tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof as well as other factors.
Note 4 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
As of September 30, 2020, there were 1,950,278 Class B profit interests unit grants and 485,343 Class B profit interests unit options issued to employees and advisors to the Company. Membership units have specific thresholds above which the members participate. The fair value of these interests were determined using the Black Scholes model as equity interests and were discounted as appropriate for lack of control and marketability.
F-109

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As a result, the fair value of the grants issued in the first nine months of 2020 totaled $48,295. Compensation expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 relating to both 2019 and 2020 grants totaled $12,457. As of September 30, 2020 the profit interests granted were as follows:
2019 Grants 1,018,821 granted with a fair value of $0.0282 per unit. 650,774 were vested.
2020 Grants 931,457 total granted and unvested. 876,457 were granted with a fair value of $0.03 and 55,000 were granted with a fair value of $0.26.
2020 Options 485,343 granted, unvested and outstanding with a fair value of $0.02, a weighted average exercise price of $3.84 and a weighted average remaining years of 9.75.
The intrinsic value of all profits interest units and options as of September 30, 2020 was nominal. The unvested expense related to these awards will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.00 years.
Note 5 OPERATING LEASES
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842. All contracts are evaluated to determine whether or not they represent a lease. A lease conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Leases we identify are classified as finance or operating in accordance with the guidance in ASC 842. The Company does not hold any finance leases.
The Company has a single, short-term lease related to an office in Newtown, PA. The office space is currently leased on a month to month basis. A short-term lease is a lease with a term of 12 months or less and does not include the option to purchase the underlying asset that we would expect to exercise.
We have elected to adopt the short-term lease exemption in ASC 842 and as such have not recognized a “right of use” asset or lease liability in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The total rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the period from inception (May 6, 2019) through September 30, 2019 was $12,074 and $1,019, respectively.
Note 6 PREPAID EXPENSES
The Company has various agreements to license data which require upfront and periodic payments. The Company records the expenses related to these agreements ratably over the annual terms. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s balance sheet reflected prepaid expenses of $257,602 under these agreements. Additionally, as of September 30, 2020 the Company’s balance sheet reflected prepaid expenses of $17,586 relating to various software licenses with durations ranging from 3 months to 1 year.
Note 7 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Note 9 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On May 6, 2019, the Company entered into an arrangement with related parties to issue two separate promissory notes (“Note” or “Notes”) entitling the Company to secure up to $100,000 per Note to fund operations. The Notes had no interest rate and were due on the sooner to occur of the initial closing of the Company’s Series S Preferred Unit financing or December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had drawn $92,150 from each Note for a total of $184,300. The note holders had the option to apply the outstanding amount to the purchase of Series S preferred units in the equity financing, which they elected to do in March 2020.
One Non-Employee Director of the Company is related to a member of the leadership team and owns membership shares that were purchased.
The Company incurred $230,198 of expenses from inception (May 6, 2019) to December 31, 2019 and $314,563 of expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, with a vendor who is affiliated with a member of the Company.
Note 10 MEMBERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
The Company is governed by its Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, as amended (the “Amended Operating Agreement”). The Amended Operating Agreement authorizes the issuance of up to 8,000,000 Class A Units, 3,000,000 Class B Units and 3,500,000 Series S Preferred Units. Each Class A Unit is entitled to one vote per unit, each Series S Preferred Unit is entitled to vote on as converted basis and the Class B Units are non-voting. The Company is managed by a board of managers consisting of five managers, one manager elected by a majority of the Series S Preferred Units, two managers elected by the holders of Class A Units, one manager must be the CEO of the Company and one manager may be elected by a majority in interests of the members of the Company. The board of managers has the right to make all decisions concerning the business, affairs and properties of the Company. Under the Amended Operating Agreement, the members have the right to vote on the dissolution and termination of the Company and any amendment to the Amended Operating Agreement.
As of September 30, 2020, there were 4,000,000 Class A membership units issued with a par value of approximately $0.25 per unit. Profit interests were granted to employees and consultants/advisors (1,950,278 Class B units) in 2019 and the first nine months of 2020 (See Note 4).
Series S financing was completed during the first quarter of 2020 with cash proceeds of $3.3 million and converted promissory notes of $0.2 million. A total of 3,500,000 Series S preferred units were authorized. The $3.5 million was exchanged for 3,078,276 Series S preferred units, which is the total units issued as of September 30, 2020.
All distributions will be made first to the holders of the Series S preferred units on a per-unit amount equal to the greater of the original unit purchase price or the amount that the preferred units would receive on an as-converted to common units basis, and second to the holders of common units subject to satisfaction of any applicable threshold amounts for profits interests. A liquidation or dissolution or, unless the Board of Managers and the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding preferred units elect otherwise, a merger constituting a change of control or other Company sale would trigger payment in accordance with the waterfall above.
If any preferred units are converted into Class A units after payment of any preference amount, then any distributions on those Class A Units will be reduced by the preference amount paid on the converted preferred units prior to conversion.
While the Company is taxed as a partnership, the Company makes quarterly tax distributions subject to available cash.
F-111

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The holders of the Series S preferred units will have the right to convert the preferred units, at any time subsequent to a conversion of the Company from an LLC to a C-Corporation, into Class A units at an initial conversion rate of 1:1. The conversion rate is subject to proportional adjustment for splits, unit distributions, recapitalizations and the like.
Note 11 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

These costs consisted primarily of legal and financial advisory fees.
Note 13 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Except as disclosed below, management has evaluated subsequent events or transactions occurring through the date these financial statements were issued and has not identified any items requiring adjustment to or disclosure in these financial statements.
COVID-19
A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in December 2019, and subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization.
Our business has largely operated in a work-from-home environment since its inception and, as a result, has experienced limited disruption due to this pandemic. The leadership team continues to focus on the highest level of safety measures to protect our employees.
We have not experienced a material impact to our financial results to date, however, COVID-19 continues to present significant uncertainty in the future economic outlook for our customers and the markets we serve.
MERGER WITH HELIX TECHNOLOGIES
On October 16, 2020 the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Helix Technologies, Inc. (“Helix”) pursuant to which Helix will merge with an into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forian, Inc. (“Forian”), with Helix surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forian. Concurrently, the Company’s members will enter into a contribution agreement pursuant to which the members will contribute their membership interest in the Company to Forian in exchange for shares of Forian common stock, thereby the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forian.
While Forian will be the legal acquirer, the merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). The Company will be deemed the accounting acquirer in the business combination for accounting purposes and Helix will be treated as the acquiree, based on a number of factors considered at the time of preparation of this proxy statement/prospectus, including control over the post-merger company as evidenced by the composition of executive management and the board of directors as well as the relative equity ownership after the closing of the business combination. The application of acquisition accounting of is dependent upon the working capital positions at the closing of the business combination, is dependent on other factors such as the share price of Helix immediately prior to the closing of the merger, and is dependent on certain valuations and other studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a

definitive measurement. The combined company will complete the valuations and other studies upon completion of the business combination and will finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but in no event later than one year following the closing date of the merger. Consolidated financial statements of Forian issued after the consummation of the merger will reflect such values. In addition, costs incurred in connection with the business combination will be expensed as incurred unless related to the equity issuance. The operating results of Helix will be included in Forian’s consolidated financial statements from the date the merger is consummated and forward.
SERIES S-1 FINANCING
In November 2020 the Company established the terms of an equity financing (“Series S-1”). The financing is expected to raise approximately $13 million in exchange for 3,388,947 preferred units. The transaction is scheduled to close in December 2020.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(b) Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned directly by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or held in the Company’s treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
(c) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(b) and (ii) except as provided in Section 2.05, any shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to, and complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL and, as of the Effective Time, has neither failed to perfect, nor effectively withdrawn or lost rights to appraisal under the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”)), will be converted into the right to receive 0.02731 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Parent Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”).
(d) All shares of Company Capital Stock, when converted as provided in Section 2.01(c), shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (or evidence of shares in book-entry form (such shares, “Book-Entry Shares”)) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Capital Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then any number or amount contained in this Agreement which is based on the number of shares of Company Capital Stock will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Company Capital Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

At the Effective Time, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates and/or Book-Entry Shares, Parent shall deliver to the Exchange Agent, to be given to the holders of Company Common Stock in exchange for their Certificates and Book-Entry Shares as provided for in this Article II, evidence of shares in book entry form, representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to the holders of Company Common Stock as the Merger Consideration. The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall receive and hold all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock for the account of the Persons entitled thereto.
(b) Mailing of Transmittal Material.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail and otherwise make available to each holder of record of Company Common Stock, a notice and a form of letter of transmittal, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such Certificate(s) theretofore representing shares of Company Common Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificate(s) to the Exchange Agent or transfer of Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent), advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Merger and the instructions and procedure for surrendering to the Exchange Agent such Certificate(s) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for book-entry shares representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate(s) or Book-Entry Shares shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement as well as any dividends or distributions to be paid in respect of such shares pursuant to this Agreement. A letter of transmittal will be properly completed only if accompanied by a Certificate or Certificates or instructions to transfer Book-Entry Shares representing all shares of Company Common Stock covered thereby, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(d).
(c) Issued Shares. All shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Parent in respect of the Parent Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the Parent Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Shares until such Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.02(e)) or Book-Entry Shares are surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following the surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.02(e)) or Book-Entry Shares, there shall be issued and/or paid to the holder of the book-entry shares representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (A) at the time of such surrender, any unpaid dividends or other distributions with a record date at or after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date at or after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.
(d) Exchange Agent Deliveries.
(i) Each holder of an outstanding Certificate or Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who has surrendered such Certificate or Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent will, upon acceptance thereof by the Exchange Agent, be entitled to evidence of issuance in book entry form, the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate or Certificates or Book-Entry Shares surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement and any other distribution theretofore paid with respect to Parent Common Stock issuable in the Merger, in each case, without interest. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose consistent with the notice and form of letter of transmittal to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices.
(ii) Each outstanding Certificate or Book-Entry Share which prior to the Effective Time represented Company Common Stock and which is not surrendered to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the procedures provided for herein shall, except as otherwise herein provided, until duly surrendered to the Exchange Agent, be deemed to evidence ownership of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which such Company Common Stock shall have been converted. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further transfer on the records of the Company of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing shares of Company Common Stock and, if such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Company for transfer, they shall be cancelled against delivery of book entry shares representing Parent Common Stock as hereinabove provided.
(e) Lost or Destroyed Certificates; Issuances of Parent Common Stock in New Names. The Exchange Agent shall not be obligated to deliver book-entry shares representing shares of Parent Common Stock to

which a holder of Company Common Stock would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders the Certificate or Certificates representing the shares of Company Common Stock for exchange as provided in this Section 2.02, or, in default thereof, an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond in an amount as may be reasonably required in each case by Parent. If any book entry shares of Parent Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate evidencing Company Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefore is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by an executed form of assignment separate from the Certificate and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required by reason of the issuance of book entry shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares surrendered or otherwise establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.
(f) Unclaimed Merger Consideration. The exchange of shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 2.02 shall be administered by the Exchange Agent until such time as any unclaimed portion thereof is required to be delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of stock represented by any Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any consideration paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. The Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of the Company to establish the identity of those Persons entitled to receive the consideration specified in this Agreement, which books shall be conclusive (absent manifest error) with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by any Certificate or Book-Entry Share, the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deposit any consideration represented thereby in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.
Section 2.03 No Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall be issued by virtue of the Merger, but in lieu thereof, each holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive one full additional share of Parent Common Stock.
Section 2.04 Withholding Rights. Parent (through the Exchange Agent, if applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Awards such amounts as Parent reasonably determines is required under the Code or any state, local or foreign Tax law or regulation thereunder to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment, and to collect any necessary Tax forms or other necessary information. Any amounts so withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Award, as applicable, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent.
Section 2.05 Dissenters’ Rights.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Dissenting Shares shall be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01, and instead the holders of such Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenter’s Rights”) (unless and until such stockholder shall have failed to timely perfect, or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost, such stockholder’s right to dissent from the Merger under the DGCL, in which case such stockholder shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.01, without interest thereon, in exchange for such shares of Company Common Stock, and such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be deemed to be Dissenting Shares) and to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to and subject to the requirements of the DGCL. In such case, at the Effective Time, the Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist, and each holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except Dissenter’s Rights and as provided in this Section 2.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall have failed to timely perfect or shall have otherwise waived, or effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s Dissenter’s Rights, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the
A-6

TABLE OF CONTENTS

relief provided by the Dissenter’s Rights, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares under the Dissenter’s Rights shall cease, such shares shall no longer be considered Dissenting Shares for purposes hereof, and such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, as provided in Section 2.01 and Section 2.02.
(b) The Company shall provide prompt written notice to Parent of any demands for appraisal by any holder of shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments received by or served on the Company pursuant to the DGCL relating to Dissenter’s Rights, and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent or as otherwise required by an order of a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do or commit to do any of the foregoing.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time prior to (but not after) the Company Stockholders Meeting, the Company Board may, if the Company has received an Alternative Proposal from any Person or Group that is not withdrawn and the Company Board concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal (after taking into account the terms of any revised offer by Parent pursuant to this Section 5.04(d)), (i) make an Adverse Recommendation Change, or (ii) terminate this Agreement pursuant to
A-51

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Section 8.01(d) to enter into a definitive written agreement providing for such Superior Proposal simultaneously with the termination of this Agreement, in each case only if (A) if the Company Board (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors), that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (B) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors) that such Alternative Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (C) the Company has complied in all material respects with this Section 5.04 with respect to such Alternative Proposal; provided, however, that (1) no Adverse Recommendation Change may be made, and (2) no termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.04(d) and Section 8.01(d) may be effected, in each case until after the fifth Business Day (the “Notice Period”) following Parent’s receipt of a written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Company has received an Alternative Proposal that is not withdrawn and that the Company Board (or any committee thereof) has concluded in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal and, absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company Board intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change on account of such Alternative Proposal or terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.04(d) and Section 8.01(d) (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) and specifying the reasons therefor, including the terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal (including copies of all relevant documents in the Company’s possession relating to such Superior Proposal) and the identity of the party making the Superior Proposal (in each case to the extent not previously provided by the Company to Parent). During the Notice Period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the Alternative Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal. Any material amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal and the Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 5.04(d), including the Notice Period (it being understood that the “Notice Period” in respect of such new Notice of Superior Proposal will be three (3) Business Days). In determining whether an Alternative Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company Board (or committee thereof) shall take into account any changes to the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to a Notice of Superior Proposal.
(e) Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company or the Company Board (or any committee thereof) from issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an Alternative Proposal (it being understood that such a “stop, look and listen” statement by the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change) or from making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if the Company Board (or any committee thereof), after consultation with outside legal counsel, concludes that its failure to do so would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, a factually accurate public statement that describes the Company’s receipt of an Alternative Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed an Adverse Recommendation Change.
(f) For purposes of this Agreement:
(i) “Alternative Proposal” means any bona fide proposal or offer (whether or not in writing) made by a third party or Group with respect to any (A) merger, consolidation, share exchange, other business combination or similar transaction involving the Company that would result in any Person or Group beneficially owning twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding equity interests of the Company or any successor or parent company thereto; (B) sale, contribution or other disposition, directly or indirectly (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange, other business combination, partnership, joint venture, asset sale, recapitalization, dividend, distribution, sale of capital stock of or other equity interests in a Company Subsidiary or otherwise), of any business or assets of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries representing 20% or more of the consolidated revenues, net income or assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (C) issuance, sale or other disposition, directly or indirectly, to any Person (or the stockholders or other equity holders of any Person) or Group of securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, such securities) representing 20% or more of the voting power of the

Company or any Company Subsidiary whose assets constitute 20% or more of the consolidated revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (D) transaction in which any Person (or the stockholders or other equity holders of any Person) shall acquire, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership, or the right to acquire beneficial ownership, or formation of any group which beneficially owns or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of, 20% or more of the equity interests of the Company or securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, such securities) representing 20% or more of the voting power of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries whose assets constitute 20% or more of the consolidated revenues, net income or assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or (E) any combination of the foregoing (in each case, other than the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement).
(ii) “Superior Proposal” means any Alternative Proposal not made in violation of this Agreement pursuant to which such third party (or, in a parent-to-parent merger involving such third party, the stockholders of such third party) or Group would acquire, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the equity interests of the Company or assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (A) on terms which the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the holders of Company Common Stock than the Merger, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal (including the identity of the Person making such proposal (including whether stockholder approval of such Person is required) and any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions and timing to consummation) and this Agreement (including any changes proposed by Parent to the terms of this Agreement), and all financial, regulatory, legal (including stockholder litigation) and other aspects of such Alternative Proposal, and for which financing, if a cash transaction (whether in whole or in part), is then fully committed, and any events or circumstances beyond the Company’s control, (B) that is subject to no financing condition,(C) that is made by a Person or Group who the Company Board has reasonably concluded in good faith will have adequate sources of financing to consummate such Superior Proposal, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal, and (D) that the Company Board determines in good faith is likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms.
(iii) “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means a confidentiality agreement containing terms no less restrictive in the aggregate to the counterparty than the terms set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood and hereby agreed that such confidentiality agreement need not contain a “standstill” or similar provision that prohibits the counterparty thereto or any of its Affiliates or Representatives from making any Alternative Proposal, acquiring the Company or taking any other similar action); provided, however, that such confidentiality agreement shall not prohibit compliance by the Company with any of the provisions of this Section 5.04.
(g) Any breach of this Section 5.04 by any of the Company Subsidiaries or its or their Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company.
Section 5.05 Third Party Standstill Agreements. During the period from the date hereof through the Effective Time, the Company shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of any standstill provision of any confidentiality or similar agreement to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party, including, but not limited to, by obtaining injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in any court having jurisdiction.
Section 5.06 Takeover Statutes. If any “fair price”, “moratorium”, “control share acquisition” or other form of antitakeover statute or regulation shall become applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company and the members of the Company Board and Parent and the members of the Parent Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and thereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(ii) Parent and Merger Sub undertake that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of them specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Form S-4 will: (A) at the time the Form S-4 is filed with the SEC, at the time of any amendment or supplement thereto or at the time it (or any post-effective amendment or supplement) becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and (B) at the time it is first mailed to the Company’s stockholders or at the time of the Company Stockholders Meeting contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.
(iii) The Company undertakes that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of it specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Form S-4 will: (A) at the time the Form S-4 is filed with the SEC, at the time of any amendment or supplement thereto or at the time it (or any post-effective amendment or supplement) becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and (B) at the time it is first mailed to the Company’s stockholders or at the time of the Company Stockholders Meeting contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.
(iv) If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information should be discovered by the Company or Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that any of such documents would not contain any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and each of the parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information to be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required under applicable Law, disseminated to stockholders of the Company; provided, however, that the delivery of such notice and the filing of any such amendment or supplement shall not affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by any party hereunder or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to any party.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(v) The Company and Parent shall each use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus will comply as to form in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (A) at the times the Form S-4 is filed with the SEC and at the time the Form S-4 becomes effective, (B) at the times the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is mailed to the Company’s stockholders and (C) at the time of the Company Stockholders Meeting, and shall promptly notify each other upon the receipt of any comments, whether oral or written, from the SEC or the staff of the SEC on, or any request from the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4, and shall provide each other with copies of all correspondence (and a summary of all substantive oral communications) with the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect to the S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments of the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4. Each party shall cooperate and provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any substantive correspondence (including responses to SEC comments) or amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 prior to filing with the SEC, and shall provide to the other a copy of all such filings made with the SEC.
(vi) Except for the purpose of disclosing any Adverse Recommendation Change, no amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4, nor any response to any comments or inquiry from the SEC with respect to such filings, will be made by the Company or Parent without the approval of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (it being understood that it shall be unreasonable to withhold consent with respect to any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or Form S-4 to the extent such amendment or supplement is required to be included therein so that the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or Form S-4 will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading as may be required by Rule 10b-5 or Rule 14a-9 under the Exchange Act or Section 11 or Section 12 of the Securities Act).
(vii) Parent shall also use its reasonable best efforts to take any action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or filing a general consent to service of process) reasonably required to be taken under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws in connection with the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Merger, and the Company shall furnish all information concerning the Company as Parent may reasonably request in connection with any such action.
(viii) Each of Parent and the Company, as applicable, will advise the other promptly after it receives oral or written notice of the time when the Form S-4 has become effective or any amendment or supplement thereto has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, or the suspension of the qualification of the Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction.
(b) Company Stockholders Meeting. The Company shall, as reasonably promptly as practicable after the later of the date on which the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act and the date on which the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (such later date, the “SEC Clearance Date”), duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholders Meeting for the purpose of seeking the Company Stockholder Approval. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the foregoing shall be the only matter (other than procedure matters) which the Company shall propose to be acted on by the holders of Company Capital Stock at the Company Stockholders Meeting. In connection with the foregoing, the Company shall (x) file the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus with the SEC and cause the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as of the record date established for the Company Stockholders Meeting as promptly as practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the SEC Clearance Date; and (y) subject to Section 5.04(d), solicit the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company shall, through the Company Board, (i) recommend to its stockholders that they give the Company Stockholder Approval (the “Company Recommendation”), (ii) include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, in each case, except to the extent that the Company Board shall have made an Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 5.04(d)
A-55

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and (iii) solicit and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on a date preceding the date on which or the date on which the Company Stockholders Meeting is scheduled, the Company reasonably believes that it will not have enough shares of the Company’s capital stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholders Meeting, the Company may postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the Company Stockholders Meeting for the purpose of obtaining sufficient proxies or constituting a quorum. In addition, the Company may postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting (i) with the consent of Parent, (ii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that the Company has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by stockholders of the Company prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting or (iii) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval. Once the Company has established the record date for the Company Stockholders Meeting, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless required to do so by applicable Law. In the event that the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting as originally called is for any reason adjourned or postponed or otherwise delayed, the Company agrees that unless Parent shall have otherwise approved in writing, it shall use reasonable best efforts to implement such adjournment or postponement or other delay in such a way that the Company does not establish a new record date for the Company Stockholders Meeting, as so adjourned, postponed or delayed, except as required by applicable Law. Unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 8.01, the Company shall submit the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger to its stockholder at the Company Stockholders Meeting, even if the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has effected an Adverse Recommendation Change. The Company shall, upon the reasonable request of Parent, provide the aggregate vote tally of the proxies received with respect to the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date of this Agreement) conduct a “broker search” as contemplated by and in accordance with Rule 14a-13 promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to the Company Stockholders Meeting (based on a record date that is twenty (20) Business Days following the date on which such broker search is commenced). If at any time the current record date for the Company Stockholders Meeting is not reasonably likely to satisfy the requirements of the Company’s organizational documents and applicable Law, the Company shall, in consultation with Parent, set a new record date and shall continue to comply with the “broker search” requirements of Rule 14a-13 promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to any such new record date.
Section 6.02 Access to Information; Confidentiality. Subject to applicable Law, the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Parent and its subsidiaries will afford to each other party and to its Representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable advance notice, during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all their respective properties, facilities, books, contracts, commitments, personnel (including outside accountants) and records (including Tax Returns) and, during such period, each party and its Subsidiaries shall furnish reasonably promptly to each other Party (a) to the extent not publicly available, a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities laws or commission actions and (b) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as another party may reasonably request (in each case, in a manner so as to not interfere in any material respect with the normal business operations of the Company, any Company Subsidiary, the Parent or any Parent Subsidiary), including financial and operating data; provided, however, that the disclosing party shall not be required to permit such access or make such disclosure, to the extent it determines, after consultation with outside counsel, that such disclosure or access would (i) violate the terms of any confidentiality agreement or other Contract with a third party (provided that the disclosing party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure); (ii) result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege (provided that the disclosing party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow for such access or disclosure (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege); or (iii) violate any Law (provided that the disclosing party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such access or make such disclosure in a manner that does not violate Law). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the disclosing party shall not be required to provide any access or make any disclosure to another party pursuant to this Section 6.02 to the extent such access or

information is reasonably pertinent to a litigation where the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse parties. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be subject to the confidentiality obligations previously agreed (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), and if this Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Time, the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms prior to giving effect to the execution of this Agreement.
Section 6.03 Efforts to Consummate.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective, as reasonably promptly as practicable, and at or prior to the End Date, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof (provided that in respect of Contracts in existence at the date of this Agreement between the Company or any of the Subsidiaries with any third Person, none of the parties hereto shall be required to make or agree to make any payment or accept any material conditions or obligations unless such payment, condition or obligation is contingent upon the consummation of the Merger).
(b) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries, in connection with the actions referenced in Section 6.03(a), to (i) make as reasonably promptly as practicable all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings, ruling requests, and other documents and to obtain as reasonably promptly as practicable all Permits, consents, approvals, clearances, waivers, orders, registrations, declarations, notices, filings or actions necessary or advisable to be obtained from any Governmental Entity or any other Person required to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Required Approvals”); and (ii) as reasonably promptly as practicable take all steps as may be necessary to obtain all such Required Approvals. In connection therewith, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to (w) cooperate in all respects with each other, including promptly providing one another with any information that may be reasonably required in order to prepare and make such filings, applications, notices, petitions, filings, ruling requests or other documents or obtain such Required Approvals; (x) keep the other party and/or its counsel informed of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to any Governmental Entity or any other Person; (y) consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with any Governmental Entity or any other Person, and to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity or other Person, give the other party and/or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences; and (z) permit the other party and/or its counsel to review in advance any proposed submission, filing or communication (and documents submitted therewith) intended to be given by it to any Governmental Entity or other Person.
(c) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub, nor the Company, shall, nor shall they permit their respective Subsidiaries to, acquire or agree to acquire any rights, assets, business, Person or division thereof (through acquisition, license, joint venture, collaboration or otherwise), if such acquisition would reasonably be expected materially to increase the risk of not obtaining, or the risk of materially impeding or delaying the obtaining of, any Required Approvals with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) The Company shall give prompt written notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt written notice to the Company, of (i) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event which occurrence or failure to occur has resulted in or would reasonably be expected to result in the failure to satisfy or be able to satisfy any of the conditions specified in Article VII and such written notice shall specify the condition which has failed or will fail to be satisfied; (ii) any written notice from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent such consent is material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and (iii) any material written notice from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.03(d) shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available under this Agreement to Parent or the Company.

(e) Each party will, either prior to or after the Effective Time, execute such further documents, instruments, deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and take such further actions as may reasonably be requested by the other to consummate the Merger to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all assets, properties, privileges, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of the Company or to effect the other purposes of this Agreement.
Section 6.04 Treatment of Company Stock Options.
(a) By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each Company Stock Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted into an option (a “Parent Stock Option”) to acquire, on the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting, exercisability and the ability to pay the exercise price and satisfy applicable tax or other withholding obligations by reduction of the amount of shares otherwise deliverable) as were applicable to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded, if necessary, down to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Merger Consideration, at an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock (rounded, if necessary, up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock under such Company Stock Option divided by the Merger Consideration; provided, however, that the adjustments provided in this Section 6.04(a) with respect to any Company Stock Options, whether or not they are “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Code, are intended to be effected in a manner that is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code and Section 409A of the Code and the respective regulations promulgated thereunder.
(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or the appropriate committee thereof) and the Parent Board (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall take such action and adopt such resolutions as are required to effectuate the treatment of the Company Stock Awards pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.04, including that (i) the Parent Board (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall take all corporate action necessary or advisable to assume and continue the Company Stock Plans subject to any amendment or termination in accordance with the terms of the Company Stock Plans; (ii) the Parent Board (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall take all corporate action necessary or advisable to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of a Parent Stock Option; and (iii) the Company Board (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall take all corporate action necessary or advisable to ensure that after the Effective Time, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to deliver Company Common Stock or any other securities to any Person upon the exercise of Company Stock Options.
(c) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, Parent shall file a new or amended Form S-8 registration statement or a post-effective amendment to an existing Form S-8 registration statement (or any other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock available for grant and delivery under the Company Stock Plan or Parent Stock Plan from and after the Effective Time and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement (and maintain the current status of the prospectus contained therein) for so long as such shares of Parent Common Stock are available for grant and delivery under the Company Stock Plans.
(d) The provisions of this Section 6.04 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, any holder of Company Stock Options or his or her heirs and his or her representatives.
Section 6.05 Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.
(a) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and the Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) either maintain in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or provide substitute policies for the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and its and their respective current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors’ and officers’ and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, in either case, with terms (including with respect to coverage, limits, conditions, retentions and amounts) that are substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable, in the aggregate, than those

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance coverage in effect on the date of this Agreement with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Effective Time (with insurance carriers having at least the same or better rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier for such insurance policies), except that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies annual premiums in excess of 300% of the annual premium most recently paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement, which amount is set forth in Section 6.05(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Maximum Amount”), and if the Surviving Corporation is unable to obtain the insurance required by this Section 6.05(a) it shall (and the Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Amount. In lieu of such insurance, prior to the Closing Date the Company may, subject to Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), purchase “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance for the Company and its current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors’ and officers’ and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company, such tail insurance to provide limits not less than the existing coverage and to have other terms not less favorable to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Effective Time; provided, that, in no event shall the annual cost of any such tail insurance exceed the Maximum Amount; provided, further, that the Company’s procurement of such “tail” policy in accordance with this sentence shall be deemed to satisfy in full the Surviving Corporation’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.05(a). The Surviving Corporation shall (and the Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such policies in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time (the “Indemnity Period”), Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification, reimbursement, advancement of legal fees and expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) and any indemnification or other similar agreements of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms (it being agreed that after the Closing such rights shall be mandatory rather than permissive, if applicable). Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or governing documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation that are no less favorable to the current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries than those set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and the Company’s Subsidiaries’ equivalent organizational and governing documents as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions thereafter until the end of the Indemnity Period shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing, during the Indemnity Period, the Surviving Corporation agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless each individual who was prior to or is as of the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or who was prior to or is as of the Closing Date, or who thereafter commences prior to the Effective Time, serving at the request of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries as a director or officer of another Person (the “Company Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines and fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including this Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions and actions contemplated by this Agreement)), arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Company Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any Company Subsidiary as a director or officer of another Person prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided, that such indemnification shall be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under applicable Law. In

the event of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, (x) each Company Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding from the Surviving Corporation within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt by the Surviving Corporation from the Company Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, if and only to the extent required by the DGCL or the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) or any such indemnification agreement or similar agreement, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by final non-appealable adjudication that such Person is not entitled to indemnification and (y) the Surviving Corporation and such Company Indemnified Party shall cooperate with each other in the defense of any such matter.
(c) The provisions of this Section 6.05 (i) shall survive consummation of the Merger, (ii) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified or insured party (including the Company Indemnified Parties), his or her heirs and his or her representatives, and (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. Unless required by applicable Law, this Section 6.05 may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Effective Time in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Company Indemnified Parties or any of their successors, assigns or heirs without the prior written consent of the affected Company Indemnified Parties.
(d) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall guarantee the prompt payment of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries under this Section 6.05.
(e) In the event that the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, the Surviving Corporation shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.05.
(f) The provisions of this Section 6.05 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, any of the current or former directors or officers of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, his or her heirs and his or her representatives.
Section 6.06 Transaction Litigation. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the Company shall (a) promptly notify Parent of any actions, suits, claims, litigations, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors or officers in connection with, arising from or otherwise relating to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof and (c) give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company and participate in the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company, any Company Subsidiary and/or their respective directors or officers. None of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Representative of the Company shall compromise, settle, offer to compromise or settle or come to an arrangement regarding any such stockholder litigation, in each case unless Parent shall have consented in writing, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 6.07 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Merger Sub each shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions or deemed dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) resulting from the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.
Section 6.08 Public Announcements. Except with respect to any Adverse Recommendation Change or announcement made with respect to any Alternative Proposal, Superior Proposal or related matters in accordance with Section 5.04 or any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement or the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall provide an opportunity for the other party to review and comment upon any press release or other public statements with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates

not to, issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to providing such opportunity to review and comment, except as such party may reasonably conclude may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system. The Company and Parent agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties. Nothing in this Section 6.08 shall limit the ability of any party hereto to make internal announcements to their respective employees that are consistent in all material respects with the prior public disclosures regarding the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 6.09 Employment and Company Benefits.
(a) Parent hereby agrees that, for a period of at least six (6) months following the Effective Time (or, if earlier, the date of termination of the applicable Continuing Employee), it shall, or it shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide each employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who continues as of the Effective Time to be employed by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of Parent (each, a “Continuing Employee”) with compensation and benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the compensation and benefits (other than severance and equity compensation and other long-term incentives) that were provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(b) For purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accruals (with respect to benefit accruals, solely for the purposes of determining accrual of vacation, paid time off, and severance benefits), under the Parent Benefit Plans providing benefits to any Continuing Employee following the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause service rendered by each Continuing Employee to the Company prior to the Effective Time to be credited for such purposes to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, prior to the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan; provided, however, that in no event shall Continuing Employees be entitled to service credit to the extent such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service.
(c) Parent shall (i) cause each Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all Parent Benefit Plans to the extent coverage under such Parent Benefit Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time; and (ii) for purposes of each Parent Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee from and after the Effective Time, (A) cause all pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, waiting periods and actively at work requirements of such Parent Benefit Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, waiting periods or actively at work requirements were waived or satisfied under the comparable Company Benefit Plan and (B) recognize, or cause to be recognized, any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents under a Company Benefit Plan during the portion of the plan year prior to the Effective Time to be taken into account under such Parent Benefit Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, co-insurance, co-payment and maximum out of pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Parent Benefit Plan.
(d) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.09 are included for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, and that nothing in this Section 6.09, whether express or implied, (i) shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights (A) in any other Person, including any employees or former employees of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, any Continuing Employee, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (B) to continued employment with Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation), (ii) shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan, or (iii) shall limit the right of Parent or its Subsidiaries (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan in accordance with its terms.

Any capitalized term used in any Exhibit but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in this Agreement.

Section 9.05 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, (a) such term or other provision shall be fully separable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, and (c) all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as either the economic or legal substance of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party or such party waives its rights under this Section 9.05 with respect thereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the extent possible.
Section 9.06 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, including by facsimile or by email with .pdf attachments, all of which shall be deemed an original and considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

Section 9.07 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, taken together with the Parent Disclosure Letter, the Company Disclosure Letter and the Confidentiality Agreement and, in each case, any exhibit, schedule or annex thereto, constitute the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement except for (a) if the Effective Time occurs, (i) the right of the Company’s stockholders to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Article II following the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the right of the holders of Company Stock Options to receive the applicable treatment pursuant to Section 6.04 on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (b) the provisions of Section 6.05 (which are intended to be for the benefit of the Persons referred to therein, and may be enforced by any such Persons).
Section 9.08 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE MERGER OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, REGARDLESS OF THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER ANY APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CHOICE OR CONFLICTS OF LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.
Section 9.09 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided that the rights, interests and obligations of Merger Sub may be assigned to another direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 9.10 Specific Enforcement. The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is explicitly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the right of a party to cause the other parties to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. It is agreed that the parties are entitled to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 9.11, without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach. In the event any party hereto brings any action, claim, complaint, suit, action or other proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement prior to the Closing, the End Date shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such action, claim, complaint, suit, action or other proceeding is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days, or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, claim, complaint, suit, action or other proceeding.

Board of Directors
Helix Technologies, Inc.
5300 OTC Parkway, Suite 300
Greenwood Village, CO 80111
Management Planning, Inc. Fairness Opinion
Gentlemen:
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Helix Technologies, Inc. (“Helix” or the “Company”) engaged and retained Management Planning, Inc. (“MPI” or the “Advisor”) to deliver an opinion (the “Opinion”) to the Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Company’s shareholders of the exchange of (a) 100% of the fully diluted common stock of Helix (160,307,826 shares) for (b) 4,420,000 shares (net of options and warrants) of Forian, Inc. (“Forian”). The balance of Forian’s issued and outstanding shares (12,531,044) will be issued to Medical Outcomes Research Analytics, LLC (“MOR”) in connection with Forian’s acquisition of MOR (the “Transaction”).
We understand that on October 16, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Agreement”) with Forian, Inc. and DNA Merger Sub, Inc, its wholly owned subsidiary. Following the execution of the Agreement, the stockholders of Helix (the “Stockholders”) will assume an ownership stake in Forian, the surviving entity. Thereafter, Forian will acquire 100% of the fully diluted equity of MOR through a share for share transaction. Forian is a Delaware corporation.
The Opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Stockholders as it pertains to the resulting equity stake in Forian in exchange for 100% of the fully diluted common stock of Helix pursuant to the terms of Transaction. MPI expresses no opinion as to the appropriateness of the process conducted by the Company, or its representatives, in soliciting or negotiating the Transaction.
Our valuation analyses of the Company and MOR conforms to generally-accepted valuation procedures and methods, under the fair value standard. U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) define fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.”1
The Opinion does not address the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to other investment alternatives or strategies that might be available to the Company, nor does it address the underlying decision of the Board or Helix to proceed with the Transaction. The Opinion is not intended to be and does not constitute a recommendation to the Board as to whether it should vote in favor of the Transaction.
In connection with our review of the Transaction, and in arriving at the Opinion, we have completed the following, among other things:
i.
Reviewed certain governing documents and other corporate organization materials that were deemed pertinent;
ii.
Reviewed the DRAFT Agreement and Plan of Merger and supporting conversion schedule;
iii.
Reviewed MOR Letter of Intent;
iv.
Examined historical and projected financial information provided by management of Helix and MOR;
v.
Reviewed other documents, and related industry information and statistics we deemed relevant;

vi.
Interviewed management concerning Helix’s and MOR’s history, operations, services, customer relationships, employees, competition, outlook, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, as well as other aspects of the business we considered pertinent;
vii.
We reviewed publicly available information on selected guideline public companies and guideline precedent transactions;
viii.
Performed discounted cash flow analyses and sensitized the results based on a range of selected inputs;
ix.
Performed guideline publicly traded companies' analysis in the analysis of value for MOR;
x.
Considered such other information regarding the Helix and MOR and their industry deemed relevant by MPI, including the current economic environment, in general, and the specific economic factors bearing on firms competing in the industry;
xi.
Conducted studies, analyses, and inquiries as MPI deemed appropriate.
MPI was provided and is relying upon a representation letter from Scott Ogur, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, regarding, among other things, the accuracy and completeness of the information provided to MPI in connection with rendering the Opinion. MPI has not independently verified any of the information concerning the Company or MOR with which MPI was provided in connection with its review of the Transaction and, for purposes of the Opinion, MPI has assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all such information. With respect to the projected financial information made available to MPI and used in the analysis, MPI has assumed that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of each company, respectively, as to expected future financial performance. MPI has not been engaged to assess the achievability of such projections or assumptions used in management’s forecast for either company. In addition, MPI has not conducted a physical inspection or appraisal of any of the assets, properties, or facilities of the Company or MOR, nor has MPI been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. The Opinion is based upon market, economic, financial and other considerations as they exist on, and can be evaluated as of, October 14, 2020. Any change in such conditions will require a reevaluation. MPI has assumed that there are no legal issues regarding the Company or the Transaction that would affect the Opinion and has relied on this assumption without undertaking any independent investigation or inquiry. MPI provided no legal advice to any person (or entity) in connection with the Transaction.
In connection with the Opinion, MPI has assumed that the Transaction will be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Agreement. MPI has also assumed that all necessary governmental and regulatory approvals and third-party consents will be obtained on terms and conditions that will not have a material adverse effect on the Transaction.
MPI is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructurings, strategic alliances, and valuations for corporate and other purposes. MPI has provided the Opinion for the information and assistance of the Board in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fee for its services. MPI’s fee is not contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction. The Company has agreed to indemnify MPI for certain liabilities arising out of the rendering of the Opinion.
This letter and the Opinion stated herein are solely for the use of the Board and its legal counsel and may not be reproduced, summarized, excerpted from or otherwise publicly referred to in any manner without MPI’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the written opinion rendered by MPI may be reproduced in a disclosure document relating to the Transaction that is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); provided however, that all references to MPI or any such written opinion therein shall be subject to MPI’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) with respect to form and substance. In addition a copy of the written opinion and any other materials provided by MPI in connection with such opinion may be provided to the SEC and any state securities regulators or any other governmental authority in connection with the Transaction provided however, that all references to MPI or any such written opinion therein shall be subject to MPI’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) with respect to form and substance.

(2)
Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the provisions of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d),(e), and (g) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.
(d)
Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:
(1)
If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or
(2)
If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of giving such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, within the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of giving such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each

TABLE OF CONTENTS

stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.
(e)
Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon request given in writing (or by electronic transmission directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in the notice of appraisal), shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation (or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, the aggregate number of shares (other than any excluded stock (as defined in § 251(h)(6)d. of this title)) that were the subject of, and were not tendered into, and accepted for purchase or exchange in, the offer referred to in § 251(h)(2)), and, in either case, with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such statement shall be given to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.
(f)
Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(g)
At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder. If immediately before the merger or consolidation the shares of the class or series of stock of the constituent corporation as to which appraisal rights are available were listed on a national securities exchange, the Court shall dismiss the proceedings as to all holders of such shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (1) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal, (2) the value of the consideration provided in the merger or consolidation for such total number of shares exceeds $1 million, or (3) the merger was approved pursuant to § 253 or § 267 of this title.
(h)
After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, and except as provided in this subsection, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the surviving corporation may pay to each stockholder entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter as provided herein only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Court, and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.
(i)
The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.
(j)
The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.
(k)
From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an

TABLE OF CONTENTS

acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.
(l)
The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 20.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding; provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and other agents of such corporation in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the person to be indemnified has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify such person against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
The Forian charter and Forian bylaws contain provisions that provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent as is permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, as may be amended from time to time.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the Forian charter contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of its directors to Forian or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as may be amended from time to time.
The merger agreement requires Forian to indemnify and hold harmless every person who is as of October 16, 2020 (or becomes prior to the effective time) a director, officer or employee of Helix or its subsidiaries, and every person who was serving as a director, officer or employee of another person at the request of Helix or its subsidiaries (each of who we refer to as an “indemnified party”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the effective time (including the merger agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated thereby)), arising out of or pertaining to the fact that such indemnified party is or was an officer or director of Helix or any of its subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of Helix, or any of its subsidiaries, as a director or officer or employee of another person or in respect of any acts or omissions in their capacities as such directors or officers occurring prior to the effective time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the effective time, in each case to the same extent as such indemnified parties were indemnified as of the date of the merger agreement pursuant to Helix’s charter, Helix’s bylaws or the governing or organizational documents of any subsidiary of Helix, or any indemnification agreements in existence as of the date of the merger agreement. Forian is required to cooperate (and cause its subsidiaries to cooperate) in the defense of any matters described in the prior sentence.
The merger agreement also requires Forian to maintain for six years following the effective time either:
the policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by Helix and its subsidiaries as of October 16, 2020; or
provide substitute policies for not less than the existing coverage and having other terms not less favorable to the insured persons, except that in no event will the annual cost to Forian for maintaining those policies exceed 300% of the annual premium paid by Helix, which we refer to as the maximum amount.
Helix may obtain a six-year “tail” policy under that party’s existing directors and officers insurance policy in lieu of the foregoing, for a cost that will not exceed the maximum amount.

Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(1)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.
(2)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) that, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
(3)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
II-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(b)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(d)
That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(e)
That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus that is a part of this Registration Statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.
(f)
That every prospectus (1) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (e) immediately preceding, or (2) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(g)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 20 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(h)
To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first-class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
(i)
To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

B.          Common Stock. The Common Stock shall have the following relative rights, preferences, qualifications, privileges, limitations and restrictions:

1.          Dividend Rights. Subject to the rights of holders of all classes of capital stock of the Corporation at the time outstanding having rights that are prior to or pari passu with the holders of the Common Stock as to dividends, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), out of any assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board.

2.          Liquidation Rights. Subject to the rights of holders of all classes of capital stock of the Corporation at the time outstanding having rights that are prior to or pari passu with the holders of the Common Stock as to liquidation, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation shall be distributed to the holders of Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock owned by them.

3.          Voting Rights. The holders of Common Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock, shall be entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may be provided by law and shall be entitled to notice of any meetings of stockholders in accordance with the By-laws of the Corporation. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the votes represented by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the By-laws of the Corporation shall so provide. The right to cumulate votes in the election of directors shall not exist with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation.

B.          Classified Board of Directors.  Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the Board of Directors (other than those directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock) shall be classified with respect to the time for which directors severally hold office into three classes: Class I; Class II; and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly equal in number as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors, and the allocation of directors among the three classes shall be determined by the Board of Directors. The initial Class I Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation following the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation; the initial Class II Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation; and the initial Class III Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation. At each annual meeting of stockholders beginning with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation, the successors of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in the third year following the year of their election, with each director in each such class to hold office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.
2

ARTICLE 6

The number of directors that shall constitute the whole Board shall be fixed from time to time by, or in the manner provided in, the By-laws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE 7

Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, shall, unless the Board determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders and except as otherwise provided by applicable law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board, and not by the stockholders. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified.

ARTICLE 8

A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders (including without limitation their heirs, executors and administrators) for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director in accordance with and to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.

The Corporation shall indemnify each of the Corporation’s directors and executive officers in each and every situation where, under Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time (“Section 145”), the Corporation is permitted or empowered to make such indemnification. The Corporation may, in the sole discretion of the Board, indemnify any other person who may be indemnified pursuant to Section 145 to the extent the Board deems advisable, as permitted by Section 145. The Corporation shall promptly make or cause to be made any determination required to be made pursuant to Section 145.

The rights to indemnification conferred in this Article 8 shall not be exclusive of any other right that any person may have or hereafter acquire under the Certificate, any statutes, by- law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article 8 by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE 9

The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred on stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.
3

ARTICLE 10

Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the By- laws of the Corporation may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the statutes) outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board or in the By-laws of the Corporation. No action shall be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with the By-laws, and no action shall be taken by the stockholders by written consent or electronic transmission. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the By-laws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE 11

Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, in furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board is expressly authorized to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind any or all of the By-laws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE 12

The shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates; provided, however, that the Board may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its capital stock may be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Every holder of capital stock of the Corporation represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or a Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, of the Corporation, representing the number of shares registered in certificate form.

ARTICLE 13

The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

Section 1.2          Other Offices.  The Corporation shall also have and maintain an office or principal place of business at such place as may be fixed by the Board of Directors, and may also have offices at such other places, both within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.

ARTICLE 2

CORPORATE SEAL

Section 2.1          Corporate Seal.  The corporate seal shall have inscribed the name of the Corporation thereon and shall be in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE 3

STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS

Section 3.1          Place of Meetings.  Meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as provided under the DGCL.

Section 3.2          Annual Meetings.

(a)          The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, for the purpose of election of directors and for such other business as may properly come before it, shall be held on such date and at such time as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders: (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting of stockholders (with respect to business other than nominations); (ii) brought specifically by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; or (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving the stockholder’s notice provided for in Section 3.2(b) below, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Article 3. For the avoidance of doubt, clause (iii) above shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations and submit other business (other than matters properly included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting of stockholders and proxy statement under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Exchange Act”)) before an annual meeting of stockholders.

(b)          At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as is a proper matter for stockholder action under Delaware law and as shall have been properly brought before the meeting.

(i)          For nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 3.2(a) of these By-laws, the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation on a timely basis as set forth in Section 3.2(b)(iii) and must update and supplement such written notice on a timely basis as set forth in Section 3.2(c). Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each nominee such stockholder proposes to nominate at the meeting: (1) the name, age, business address and residence address of such nominee, (2) the principal occupation or employment of such nominee, (3) the class and number of shares of each class of capital stock of the Corporation that are owned of record and beneficially by such nominee, (4) the date or dates on which such shares were acquired and the investment intent of such acquisition, (5) a statement whether such nominee, if elected, intends to tender, promptly following such person’s failure to receive the required vote for election or re- election at the next meeting at which such person would face election or re-election, an irrevocable resignation effective upon acceptance of such resignation by the Board of Directors, and (6) such other information concerning such nominee as would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such nominee as a director in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved), or that is otherwise required to be disclosed pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); and (B) the information required by Section 3.2(b)(iv). The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such proposed nominee.

(ii)          Other than proposals sought to be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, for business other than nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 3.2(a) of these By-laws, the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation on a timely basis as set forth in Section 3.2(b)(iii), and must update and supplement such written notice on a timely basis as set forth in Section 3.2(c). Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, and any material interest (including any anticipated benefit of such business to any Proponent (as defined below) other than solely as a result of its ownership of the Corporation’s capital stock, that is material to any Proponent individually, or to the Proponents in the aggregate) in such business of any Proponent; and (B) the information required by Section 3.2(b)(iv).
2

(iii)          To be timely, the written notice required by Section 3.2(b)(i) or 3.2(b)(ii) must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the date definitive proxy materials were first sent or given to stockholders with respect to the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.2(b)(iii), in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 30 days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event shall an adjournment or a postponement of an annual meeting for which notice has been given, or the public announcement thereof has been made, commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(iv)          The written notice required by Section 3.2(b)(i) or 3.2(b)(ii) shall also set forth, as of the date of the notice and as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (each, a “Proponent” and collectively, the “Proponents”): (A) the name and address of each Proponent, as they appear on the Corporation’s books; (B) the class, series and number of shares of the Corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by each Proponent; (C) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether oral or in writing) with respect to such nomination or proposal between or among any Proponent and any of its affiliates or associates, and any others (including their names) acting in concert, or otherwise under the agreement, arrangement or understanding, with any of the foregoing; (D) a representation that the Proponents are holders of record or beneficial owners, as the case may be, of shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting and intend to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice (with respect to a notice under Section 3.2(b)(i)) or to propose the business that is specified in the notice (with respect to a notice under Section 3.2(b)(ii)); (E) a representation as to whether the Proponents intend to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a sufficient number of holders of the Corporation’s voting shares to elect such nominee or nominees (with respect to a notice under Section 3.2 (b)(i)) or to carry such proposal (with respect to a notice under Section 3.2(b)(ii)); (F) to the extent known by any Proponent, the name and address of any other stockholder supporting the proposal on the date of such stockholder’s notice; and (G) a description of all Derivative Transactions (as defined below) by each Proponent during the previous twelve-month period, including the date of the transactions and the class, series and number of securities involved in, and the material economic terms of, such Derivative Transactions. For purposes of Sections 3.2 and 3.3, a “Derivative Transaction” means any agreement, arrangement, interest or understanding entered into by, or on behalf or for the benefit of, any Proponent or any of its affiliates or associates, whether record or beneficial:

(w)          the value of which is derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares or other securities of the Corporation,
3

(x)          which otherwise provides any direct or indirect opportunity to gain or share in any gain derived from a change in the value of securities of the Corporation,

(y)          the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss, manage risk or benefit of security value or price changes, or

(z)          which provides the right to vote or increase or decrease the voting power of, such Proponent, or any of its affiliates or associates, with respect to any securities of the Corporation,

which agreement, arrangement, interest or understanding may include, without limitation, any option, warrant, debt position, note, bond, convertible security, swap, stock appreciation right, short position, profit interest, hedge, right to dividends, voting agreement, performance-related fee or arrangement to borrow or lend shares (whether or not subject to payment, settlement, exercise or conversion in any such class or series), and any proportionate interest of such Proponent in the securities of the Corporation held by any general or limited partnership, or any limited liability company, of which such Proponent is, directly or indirectly, a general partner or managing member.

(c)          A stockholder providing written notice required by Section 3.2(b)(i) or (ii) shall update and supplement such notice in writing, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice is true and correct in all material respects as of (i) the record date for the meeting and (ii) the date that is five business days prior to the meeting and, in the event of any adjournment or postponement thereof, five business days prior to such adjourned or postponed meeting.  In the case of an update and supplement pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 3.2(c), such update and supplement shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five business days after the record date for the meeting. In the case of an update and supplement pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 3.2(c), such update and supplement shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than two business days prior to the date for the meeting, and, in the event of any adjournment or postponement thereof, two business days prior to such adjourned or postponed meeting.
4

(d)          Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.2(b)(iii) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors is increased and there is no public announcement of the appointment of a director, or, if no appointment was made, of the vacancy, made by the Corporation at least ten days before the last day a stockholder may deliver a notice of nomination in accordance with Section 3.2(b)(iii), a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 3.2 and that complies with the requirements in Section 3.2(b)(i), other than the timing requirements in Section 3.2(b)(iii), shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation. A person shall not be eligible for election or re-election as a director unless the person is nominated either in accordance with clause (ii) of Section 3.2(a), or in accordance with clause (iii) of Section 3.2(a). Except as otherwise required by law, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made, or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in these By-laws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these By-laws, or the Proponent does not act in accordance with the representations in Sections 3.2(b)(iv)(D) and 3.2(b)(iv)(E), to declare that such proposal or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nominations or such business may have been solicited or received.

(e)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2, in order to include information with respect to a stockholder proposal in the proxy statement and form of proxy for a stockholders’ meeting, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Nothing in these By-laws shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any references in these By-laws to the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to proposals and/or nominations to be considered pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(iii) of these By-laws.

(f)          For purposes of Sections 3.2 and 3.3,

(i)          “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; and

(ii)          “affiliates” and “associates” shall have the meanings set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Section 3.3          Special Meetings.

(a)          Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called, for any purpose as is a proper matter for stockholder action under Delaware law, by (i) the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer, or (iii) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board of Directors for adoption).

(b)          The Board of Directors shall determine the time and place, if any, of such special meeting. Upon determination of the time and place, if any, of the meeting, the Secretary shall cause a notice of meeting to be given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 of these By-laws. No business may be transacted at such special meeting otherwise than specified in the notice of meeting.
5

(c)          Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving notice provided for in this paragraph, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who delivers written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation setting forth the information required by Section 3.2(b)(i). In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder of record may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if written notice setting forth the information required by Section 3.2(b)(i) of these By-laws shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.  The stockholder shall also update and supplement such information as required under Section 3.2(c). In no event shall an adjournment or a postponement of a special meeting for which notice has been given, or the public announcement thereof has been made, commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(d)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this Section 3.3. Nothing in these By-laws shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any references in these By-laws to the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be considered pursuant to Section 3.3(c) of these By- laws.

Section 3.4          Notice of Meetings.  Except as otherwise provided by law, notice, given in writing or by electronic transmission, of each meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, such notice to specify the place, if any, date and hour, in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes of the meeting, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at any such meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. Notice of the time, place, if any, and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be waived in writing, signed by the person entitled to notice thereof, or by electronic transmission by such person, either before or after such meeting, and will be waived by any stockholder by the stockholder’s attendance thereat in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.
6

Section 3.5          Quorum.  At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these By-laws, the presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, either by the chairperson of the meeting or by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as otherwise provided by statute or by applicable stock exchange rules, or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the holders of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the election of directors.  Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter.  Except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, the affirmative vote of the holders of the majority (plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of shares of such class or classes or series present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or classes or series.

Section 3.6          Adjournment and Notice of Adjourned Meetings.  Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time either by the chairperson of the meeting or by the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.  If the adjournment is for more than 30 days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 3.7          Voting Rights.  For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names and shares stand on the stock records of the Corporation on the record date, as provided in Section 3.9 of these By-laws, shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Every person entitled to vote shall have the right to do so either in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by an agent or agents authorized by a proxy granted in accordance with Delaware law.

Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation. The directors shall hold office in the manner provided in the Certificate of Incorporation.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 11.1          Indemnification of Directors, Executive Officers, Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents.

(a)          A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders (including without limitation their heirs, executors and administrators) for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director in accordance with and to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.
19

(b)          The Corporation shall indemnify its directors and executive officers (for the purposes of this Article XI, “executive officers” shall have the meaning defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Exchange Act) to the extent not prohibited by the DGCL or any other applicable law; provided, however, that the Corporation may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and executive officers; and, provided, further, that the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify any director or executive officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under the DGCL or any other applicable law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under subsection (d).

(c)          The Corporation shall have power to indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate the determination of whether indemnification shall be given to any such person except executive officers to such officers or other persons as the Board of Directors shall determine.

(d)          The Corporation shall advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or executive officer, of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or executive officer in connection with such proceeding, provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or executive officer in his or her capacity as a director or executive officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 11.1 or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to paragraph (e)of this Section 11.1, no advance shall be made by the Corporation to an executive officer of the Corporation (except by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the Corporation in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, even if not a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision- making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.
20

(e)          Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and executive officers under this Bylaw shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the Corporation and the director or executive officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Section 11.1 to a director or executive officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within 90 days of request therefor. To the extent permitted by law, the claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the Corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the DGCL or any other applicable law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an executive officer of the Corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the Corporation) for advances, the Corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director or executive officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or executive officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section 11.1 or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

(f)          The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL, or by any other applicable law.
21

(g)          The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or executive officer or officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(h)          To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law, the Corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 11.1.

(i)          Any repeal or modification of this Section 11.1 shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the Corporation.

(j)          If this Bylaw or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Section 11.1  that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law.  If this Section 11.1 shall be invalid due to the application of the indemnification provisions of another jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent under any other applicable law.

(k)          For the purposes of this Bylaw, the following definitions shall apply:

(i)          The term “proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.

(ii)          The term “expenses” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, court costs, attorneys’ fees, witness fees, fines, amounts paid in settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses of any nature or kind incurred in connection with any proceeding.

(iii)          The term the “corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger that, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 11.1 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
22

(iv)          References to a “director,” “executive officer,” “officer,” “employee,” or “agent” of the Corporation shall include, without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the request of the Corporation as, respectively, a director, executive officer, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

(v)          References to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation that imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Section 11.1.

ARTICLE 12

NOTICES

Section 12.1          Notices.

(a)          Written notice to stockholders of stockholder meetings shall be given as provided in Section 3.4 herein. Without limiting the manner by which notice may otherwise be given effectively to stockholders under any agreement or contract with such stockholder, and except as otherwise required by law, written notice to stockholders for purposes other than stockholder meetings may be sent by U.S. mail or nationally recognized overnight courier, or by facsimile, or by electronic mail or other electronic means.

(b)          Any notice required to be given to any director may be given by the method stated in subsection (a), as otherwise provided in these By-laws with notice other than one that is delivered personally to be sent to such address as such director shall have filed in writing with the Secretary, or, in the absence of such filing, to the last known address of such director.

(c)          An affidavit of mailing, executed by a duly authorized and competent employee of the Corporation or its transfer agent appointed with respect to the class of stock affected, or other agent, specifying the name and address or the names and addresses of the stockholder or stockholders, or director or directors, to whom any such notice or notices was or were given, and the time and method of giving the same, shall in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts therein contained.

(d)          It shall not be necessary that the same method of giving notice be employed in respect of all recipients of notice, but one permissible method may be employed in respect of any one or more, and any other permissible method or methods may be employed in respect of any other or others.

(e)          Whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Corporation, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.
23

(f)          Except as otherwise prohibited under DGCL, any notice given under the provisions of DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Such consent shall have been deemed to have been given if such stockholder fails to object in writing to the Corporation within 60 days of having been given notice by the Corporation of its intention to send the single notice. Any consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation.

ARTICLE 13

AMENDMENTS

Section 13.1          Amendments.  Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.1(i) of these By-laws or the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the By-laws of the Corporation. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of the By-laws of the Corporation by the Board of Directors shall require the approval of a majority of the authorized number of directors. The stockholders also shall have power to adopt, amend or repeal the By-laws of the Corporation; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, such action by stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then- outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
24

ARTICLE 14

FORUM SELECTION

Section 14.1          Forum.  Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware or, if and only if all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation; (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation, to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders; (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against the corporation or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation, arising out of or pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws of the Corporation (as each may be amended from time to time); (iv) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws of the Corporation (including any right, obligation, or remedy thereunder); (v) any action or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; and (vi) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation, governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. This Article 14 shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the District of Delaware shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article 14.

Any person or entity holding, owning or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of these By-laws.
