TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

 

Overview

Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. provides a variety of IT services and technologies that enable customers to manage, protect and monetize their enterprise assets whether on-premise, in the Cloud, or via mobile.   Historically our revenues were earned from customer bases 100% in the public sector but that has changed significantly with the acquisitions we have made since 2013. Currently, approximately 90% of the revenues we earn are from commercial enterprises and only approximately 10% are from government agencies.  Our goal is to continue to build our private and public sector offerings and contracts. We intend to do this by acquiring other businesses.

On March 1, 2013, we acquired Lilien Systems, an enterprise IT infrastructure solutions provider with over $40 million in annual revenue, in consideration of a combination of $6,000,000 in value of common stock and $3 million in cash from debt financing (the “ Lilien Acquisition ”).

 

On August 31, 2013, we acquired Shoom, Inc. (“ Shoom ”) a provider of Cloud-based data analytics and enterprise solutions to the media, publishing, and entertainment industries with over $4 million in annual revenue with a retention rate of approximately 90% (over the last five years) in consideration of a combination of 1,381,000 shares of common stock and $2.5 million in cash (the “ Shoom Acquisition ”). The cash portion was funded by the excess working capital we obtained from the Shoom Acquisition.

 

On April 18, 2014, we acquired AirPatrol Corporation (“ AirPatrol ”), a developer of mobile device identification and locating systems pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 20, 2013, as amended for consideration equal to (a) $10,000,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments, allocated to and among certain creditors, payees and holders of AirPatrol’s issued and outstanding capital stock and (b) 2,000,000 shares of Company common stock, subject to certain adjustments (the “ AirPatrol Acquisition ”).

 

The acquisitions of Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol have expanded our depth of enterprise service offerings, including Big Data services and Cloud-based advanced analytics, while providing premier partnership status with leading vendors in IT infrastructure. Shoom also provides Sysorex with secure Cloud-based software products, which result in higher gross margins. These acquisitions reflect our business strategy, the purpose of which is to transform Sysorex from a services company to a technology company. We believe the acquisition of Lilien provides us with an opportunity for vertical market and geographic expansion.  We are focusing our primary efforts on the U.S. market in the near-term.  We have a small operating unit in Saudi Arabia and we may seek new contracts there.  This unit does not represent a significant portion of our business and a failure to obtain contracts from our Saudi Arabian unit will not have a material impact on our revenues or operations.

 

Cyber security and Big Data analytics are the areas we are targeting because we believe, based on industry data that these are growing market segments. For example, security of all forms, especially cyber-security, are significant growth areas ( Source : Market Research Media - U.S. Federal Cyber-Security Market Forecast 2013-2018 dated April 12, 2013), and Sysorex intends to increase its role in this sector. Gartner, Inc., an information technology research and advisory company , predicts that by 2015, 20% of Global 1000 organizations will have established a strategic focus on information infrastructure equal to that of application management. This is one of five Gartner predictions about Big Data and information infrastructure discussed in “Predicts 2013: Big Data and Information Infrastructure;” a November 30, 2012 report that describes in detail how the Big Data phenomenon will affect organizations, resources and information infrastructure.  Our plan is to acquire companies with unique technologies and possibly some with patents, which we believe will give us an advantage over our competitors.  However, the IT services and technologies industry is extremely competitive and many of the providers in the industry are extremely large and well financed.  Therefore, there is a risk that the technologies we acquire or develop could become obsolete if others in the industry develop better products.

 

Recent events in the federal government including the recent budget impasse and sequestration can impact our business with the federal government if they re-occur. However, our government contracts are less than 10% of our total revenues. Specifically, Congressional action could delay payment on our current contracts, delay the award of contracts that Sysorex has under submission and delay the release of task orders from the government on its contracts including the US Navy SPAWAR contract discussed below. We believe both of these will be growth areas for the government despite budget challenges because of the increased need for solutions in this space, which is reflected in recent high profile events, such as the NSA information leaks by Edward Snowden and the LexisNexis information leaks, including  the social security number of the United States First Lady along with millions of other Americans, that have made it more of a focus. Our government contracts are typically three to five years and we believe that our recent historical government contract revenues will be indicative of future government contact based revenues. New contracts would be accretive.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

 

Lilien’s revenues are typically driven by purchase orders that are captured every month.  Approximately 25% of these purchase orders are contracts that range from one to five years for warranty and maintenance support and are recurring. For these contracts the customer is invoiced one time and pays Lilien upfront for the full term of the warranty and maintenance contract.  The unearned revenue is recorded as deferred revenue and amortized over the contract period.  Lilien has a 29-year history and track record with a management team that we expect will continue to successfully generate and grow Lilien’s business. Lilien also has a high repeat customer rate of approximately 60% annually. Lilien’s revenues are diversified over hundreds of customers and no one customer exceeds 15% of its revenues. We believe this diversification provides stability to Lilien’s revenue streams.

Shoom’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) contracts are typically performed for periods of one or more years and Shoom has a high customer retention rate. Shoom offers eSolutions including eTearsheets, invoicing, CRM, and other products and services to 750 newspapers in the Cloud.  Cloud or SaaS based analytics is a growing market that Sysorex intends to pursue beyond the media vertical that Shoom is in today. According to industry sources, Cloud based business analytics and business intelligence is expected to grow from $5.2 billion in 2013 to $16.52 billion in 2018 a 25.8% CAGR ( Source : PRWeb Article - Cloud Analytics Market is Growing at an Estimated CAGR of 25.8% & to Reach $16.52 Billion by 2018 - New Report by Markets and Markets April 2, 2013.)  Shoom has been in business for over 10 years and has been providing its Cloud solutions for over four years.

 

The Lilien Acquisition significantly impacted our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, as indicated under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The results show a net loss which was attributable, in part, to certain one-time non-recurring charges related to the Lilien Acquisition and Shoom Acquisition, resulting in the Company incurring significant legal, accounting, due diligence, financing and general and administrative expenses as compared to the expenses incurred in the comparable period in 2012.

 

We believe the accretive impact of our acquisition strategy is becoming evident and the year ended December 31, 2013 included ten months of Lilien’s revenues and four months of Shoom’s revenues. We anticipate synergies and operational efficiencies to improve revenues for both Sysorex and Lilien, especially in Q3 and Q4 when Lilien’s business is historically stronger as a result of customer budgeting processes. Sysorex’ U.S. government operations are profitable and this division is expected to grow based on the U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract awarded to Sysorex earlier this year. The U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract started releasing task orders in Q1 2014 and other awards are expected later in the year, now that the current budget impasse is resolved. With the addition of Shoom we believe that our liquidity will improve significantly as Shoom’s business model generates approximately 78% gross margins. We believe that our shift to technology based business lines like Shoom and other future acquisitions will increase our customer base and, in turn, increase revenues to a level that will allow us to achieve profitability.

 

Our recent acquisition of AirPatrol, a developer of location-based cybersecurity and commercial services systems for mobile devices, on April 18, 2014, has provided the Company with the opportunity to expand its capabilities into location-based detection products.  AirPatrol is a developer of mobile device identification and locationing systems. Its flagship product, ZoneDefense, is a security platform for wireless and cellular networks that can detect, monitor and manage the behavior of smartphones, tablets, laptops and other mobile devices based on their location. AirPatrol also offers a business-to-consumer platform called ZoneAware that allows retailers, resort owners, consumer firms and others to deliver custom content and services based on a mobile device’s location. We believe AirPatrol will leverage the analytics capabilities of Lilien and Shoom to drive new location data offerings.

Corporate Strategy

 

Sysorex management has a mergers and acquisitions strategy to acquire companies and innovative technologies servicing the multi-billion dollar IT industry.  We have targeted services and technology/IP based companies since we believe that they add significant value to the Company. Sysorex plans to facilitate and manage cross-selling opportunities among the companies and provide shared corporate services to create efficiencies and be cost effective. We are seeking opportunities with the following profiles:

·

Innovative and commercially proven technologies primarily in cyber-security, business intelligence/analytics, Big Data services, Cloud and mobile/bring your own device (BYOD).

 

·

Commercial and government IT service companies which have an established customer base and are seeking growth capital to expand their capabilities, product offerings and substantially increase their revenues and operating profits.

 

·

Companies with proven technologies that are complementary to the Company’s overall strategy. We are looking at companies primarily in the United States.  However, we may expand in our existing markets (e.g., Middle East) and into other geographies such as India and Europe, if there are significant strategic and financial reasons to do so.

 

An important element of our mergers and acquisitions strategy is to acquire companies with complementary capabilities/technologies and an established customer base in each of the above categories.  We believe that the customer base of each potential acquisition will present an opportunity to cross-sell solutions to the customer base of other acquired companies.

 

Another important criterion is an acquisition candidate’s contract backlog. This is one of the most important benefits of having public sector clients. These customers provide very large multi-year contracts that can provide secure revenue visibility typically for three to five years.  Based on management’s experience, we understand government contracting very well and have built a core competency in bidding on government requests for proposals.  We are actively seeking companies that have built a backlog with various government agencies that can complement Sysorex’s existing contracts.

 

We intend to acquire innovative technologies and established, reputable IT services companies, using restricted common stock, cash and debt financing in combinations appropriate for each potential acquisition.

Industry Overview

Worldwide, companies and organizations are expected to spend a combined $3.8 trillion on hardware, software, IT services and telecommunications in 2014 with approximately 3.1% growth rate over the next five years ( Source : Gartner, Inc. January 6, 2014 press release).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

The U.S. Government spends approximately $80 billion in IT annually and this level of spending is expected to continue at a 3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), compared with 6% historically in the first decade of the 21 st Century ( Source : Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018).  Security of all forms, especially cyber-security, are significant growth areas, and Sysorex intends to increase its role in this sector (based on: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal Cyber-Security Market Forecast 2013-2018 dated April 12, 2013). The focus is on deployment of technologies that proved their worth in the private sector. The technology segments like business intelligence, Cloud computing, eDiscovery, GIS and geospatial, non-relational database management systems, smart grid, SOA, unified communications and virtualization are expected to have double digit growth in the period 2013 – 2018 ( Source : Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018). The total annual U.S. Federal IT market is expected to surpass $93 billion by 2018 ( Source : Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018).

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

As a company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during our most recently completed fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable, in general, to public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These provisions include:

·

Reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

 

·

No non-binding shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;

 

·

Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and

 

Reduced disclosure of financial information in this prospectus, limited to two years of audited financial information and two years of selected financial information.

 

As a smaller reporting company, each of the foregoing exemptions is currently available to us. We may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.0 billion in annual revenues as of the end of a fiscal year, if we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or if we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year-period.

The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We are choosing to “opt out” of this provision.  Therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

 

Corporate Information

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada in April 1999, under the name Liquidation Bid, Inc., and we subsequently changed our name to Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. pursuant to a July 2011 merger with Sysorex Federal, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Sysorex Government Services Inc.  Our principal executive offices are located at 3375 Scott Blvd., Suite 448, Santa Clara, CA 95054, and our telephone number is (408) 702-1267.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included or referred to in this prospectus, before purchasing shares of our common stock. There are numerous and varied risks that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors in our common stock could lose all or part of their investment.

Risks Related to Consolidated Operations

Since we have recently acquired Lilien Systems, Shoom and AirPatrol, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our future consolidated business.

We completed the Lilien Acquisition on March 20, 2013, the Shoom Acquisition on September 6, 2013 and the AirPatrol Acquisition on April 16, 2014. Therefore, our limited combined operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations or the merits of an investment in our securities. We are subject to the risks inherent in the financing, expenditures, complications and delays characteristic of a newly combined business. These risks are described below under the risk factor titled “Any future acquisitions that we may make could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders and harm our business, financial condition or operating results.” In addition, while the former members of Lilien, and the shareholders of Shoom and AirPatorol have indemnified the Company from any undisclosed liabilities there may not be adequate resources to cover such indemnity. Furthermore, there are risks that the vendors, suppliers and customers of these acquired entities may not renew their relationships for which there is no indemnification. Accordingly, our business and success faces risks from uncertainties inherent to developing companies in a competitive environment. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.

 

Our ability to successfully execute our business plan may require additional debt or equity financing, which may otherwise not be available on reasonable terms or at all.

As of June 30, 2014, we had $4.9 million of cash on hand.  On March 20, 2013, we entered into a revolving credit line for up to $5,000,000  from Bridge Bank, N.A. which was increased to $6,000,000 with a $750,000 term loan on August 29, 2013.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company owed $4,581,691 under its revolving credit line and $624,995 under the term loan which matures August 27, 2016.  According to our business plan we may need additional debt or equity financing. Future financings through equity offerings by us will be dilutive to existing stockholders.  Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors than our current investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuance of incentive awards under employee equity incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects.  We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue in the future such as convertible notes and warrants, which would adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by factors, including the condition of the economy and capital markets, both generally and specifically in our industry, and the fact that we are not profitable, which could impact the availability or cost of future financing. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may need to reduce our operations accordingly.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

Failure to manage or protect growth may be detrimental to our business because our infrastructure may not be adequate for expansion.

The Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol Acquisitions require a substantial expansion of the Company’s systems, workforce and facilities. We may fail to adequately manage our anticipated future growth. The substantial growth in our operations as a result of the Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol Acquisitions is expected to place a significant strain on our administrative, financial and operational resources, and increase demands on our management and on our operational and administrative systems, controls and other resources.  For instance Lilien’s growth strategy includes broadening its service and product offerings, implementing an aggressive marketing plan and employing leading technologies.  There can be no assurance that our systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our operations as they expand.  We cannot assure you that our existing personnel, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations in the future or that we will be able to successfully implement appropriate measures consistent with our growth strategy. As part of this growth, we may have to implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to expand, train and manage our employee base, and maintain close coordination among our staff. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so, or that if we are able to do so, we will be able to effectively integrate them into our existing staff and systems.

To the extent we acquire other businesses, we will also need to integrate and assimilate new operations, technologies and personnel.  The integration of new personnel will continue to result in some disruption to ongoing operations. The ability to effectively manage growth in a rapidly evolving market requires effective planning and management processes. We will need to continue to improve operational, financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures, and will need to continue to expand, train and manage our work force.  There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to accomplish such an expansion on a timely basis. If the Company is unable to affect any required expansion and is unable to perform its contracts on a timely and satisfactory basis, its reputation and eligibility to secure additional contracts in the future could be damaged. The failure to perform could also result in a contract terminations and significant liability. Any such result would adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition.

We will need to increase the size of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing growth, which would hurt our financial performance.

In addition to employees hired from Lilien, Shoom, AirPatrol and any other companies which we may acquire, we will need to expand our employee infrastructure for managerial, operational, financial and other resources at the parent company level.  Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additional employees. Our future financial performance and our ability to commercialize our product candidates and to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effectively.

In order to manage our future growth, we will need to continue to improve our management, operational and financial controls and our reporting systems and procedures. All of these measures will require significant expenditures and will demand the attention of management. If we do not continue to enhance our management personnel and our operational and financial systems and controls in response to growth in our business, we could experience operating inefficiencies that could impair our competitive position and could increase our costs more than we had planned. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our business depends on experienced and skilled personnel, and if we are unable to attract and integrate skilled personnel, it will be more difficult for us to manage our business and complete contracts.

The success of our business depends on the skill of our personnel. Accordingly, it is critical that we maintain, and continue to build, a highly experienced management team and specialized workforce, including software programs and sales professionals. Competition for personnel, particularly those with expertise in government consulting and a security clearance, is high, and identifying candidates with the appropriate qualifications can be costly and difficult. We may not be able to hire the necessary personnel to implement our business strategy given our anticipated hiring needs, or we may need to provide higher compensation or more training to our personnel than we currently anticipate.   In addition, our ability to recruit, hire and indirectly deploy former employees of the U.S. Government is subject to complex laws and regulations, which may serve as an impediment to our ability to attract such former employees.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

Our business is labor intensive and our success depends on our ability to attract, retain, train and motivate highly skilled employees, including employees who may become part of our organization in connection with our acquisitions. The increase in demand for consulting, technology integration and managed services has further increased the need for employees with specialized skills or significant experience in these areas. Our ability to expand our operations will be highly dependent on our ability to attract a sufficient number of highly skilled employees and to retain our employees and the employees of companies that we have acquired. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining enough employees to achieve our desired expansion or staffing plans. Furthermore, the industry turnover rates for these types of employees are high and we may not be successful in retaining, training or motivating our employees. Any inability to attract, retain, train and motivate employees could impair our ability to adequately manage and complete existing projects and to accept new client engagements. Such inability may also force us to increase our hiring of independent contractors, which may increase our costs and reduce our profitability on client engagements. We must also devote substantial managerial and financial resources to monitoring and managing our workforce. Our future success will depend on our ability to manage the levels and related costs of our workforce.

In the event we are unable to attract, hire and retain the requisite personnel and subcontractors, we may experience delays in completing contracts in accordance with project schedules and budgets, which may have an adverse effect on our financial results, harm our reputation and cause us to curtail our pursuit of new contracts. Further, any increase in demand for personnel may result in higher costs, causing us to exceed the budget on a contract, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results and harm our relationships with our customers.

We have allocated a substantial portion of the net proceeds of our initial public offering to expand our business, in part, through future acquisitions, but we may not be able to identify or complete suitable acquisitions, which could harm our financial performance.

Acquisitions are a significant part of our growth strategy.  On April 9, 2014 we raised net proceeds of $17.7 million in our initial public offering from the sale of 3,166,666 Shares.  Out of the net proceeds of our initial public offering we utilized approximately $10.5 million for the AirPatrol Acquisition.  We continually review, evaluate and consider potential investments and acquisitions.  In such evaluations, we are required to make difficult judgments regarding the value of business opportunities and the risks and cost of potential liabilities.  We plan to use acquisitions of companies or technologies to expand our project skill sets and capabilities, expand our geographic markets, add experienced management and increase our product and service offerings. Although we have identified several acquisition considerations, we may be unable to implement our growth strategy if we cannot reach agreement with acquisition targets on acceptable terms or arrange required financing for acquisitions on acceptable terms.  If we cannot make acquisitions to expand our business, our future financial performance could be harmed.  In addition, the time and effort involved in attempting to identify acquisition candidates and consummate acquisitions may divert members of our management from the operations of our company, which could also harm our business and results of operations.

 

Any future acquisitions that we may make could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders and harm our business, financial condition or operating results.

If we are successful in consummating acquisitions, those acquisitions could subject us to a number of risks, including, but not limited to:

 

	·	the purchase price we pay and/or unanticipated costs could significantly deplete our cash reserves or result in dilution to our existing stockholders;
	·	we may find that the acquired company or technologies do not improve our market position as planned;

 

 

11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

	·	we may have difficulty integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired company, as the combined operations will place significant demands on the Company’s management, technical, financial and other resources;
	·	key personnel and customers of the acquired company may terminate their relationships with the acquired company as a result of the acquisition;
	·	we may experience additional financial and accounting challenges and complexities in areas such as tax planning and financial reporting;
	·	we may assume or be held liable for risks and liabilities (including environmental-related costs) as a result of our acquisitions, some of which we may not be able to discover during our due diligence or adequately adjust for in our acquisition arrangements;
	·	our ongoing business and management’s attention may be disrupted or diverted by transition or integration issues and the complexity of managing geographically or culturally diverse enterprises;
	·	we may incur one-time write-offs or restructuring charges in connection with the acquisition;
	·	we may acquire goodwill and other intangible assets that are subject to amortization or impairment tests, which could result in future charges to earnings; and
	·	we may not be able to realize the cost savings or other financial benefits we anticipated.

 

We cannot assure you that we will successfully integrate Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol or profitably manage any other acquired business. In addition, we cannot assure you that, following any acquisition, our continued business will achieve sales levels, profitability, efficiencies or synergies that justify the acquisition or that the acquisition will result in increased earnings for us in any future period. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Insurance and contractual protections may not always cover lost revenue, increased expenses or liquidated damages payments, which could adversely affect our financial results.

Although we maintain insurance and intend to obtain warranties from suppliers, obligate subcontractors to meet certain performance levels and attempt, where feasible, to pass risks we cannot control to our customers, the proceeds of such insurance, warranties, performance guarantees or risk sharing arrangements may not be adequate to cover lost revenue, increased expenses or liquidated damages payments that may be required in the future.

If we are unable to comply with certain financial and operating restrictions in our credit facilities, we may be limited in our business activities and access to credit or may default under our credit facilities

 

Pursuant to our existing credit facility with Bridge Bank, N.A., all of the Company’s and our subsidiaries’ assets, other than excluded and future projects, are secured with our senior lender.  As of June 30, 2014 the Company owed approximately $4.6 million under its revolving line of credit and $624,995 under a term loan.  Provisions in our credit facilities and debt instruments impose restrictions or require prior approval on our ability, and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to, among other things:

 

	·	incur additional debt;
	·	pay cash dividends and make distributions;
	·	make certain investments and acquisitions;
	·	guarantee the indebtedness of others or our subsidiaries;
	·	redeem or repurchase capital stock;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

	·	create liens or encumbrances;
	·	enter into transactions with affiliates;
	·	engage in new lines of business;
	·	sell, lease or transfer certain parts of our business or property;
	·	incur obligations for capital expenditures;
	·	issue additional capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company;
	·	acquire new companies and merge or consolidate.

These agreements also contain other customary covenants, including covenants that require us to meet specified financial ratios and financial tests. We may not be able to comply with these covenants in the future. Our failure to comply with these covenants may result in the declaration of an event of default and cause us to be unable to borrow under our credit facilities and debt instruments. In addition to preventing additional borrowings under these agreements, an event of default, if not cured or waived, may result in the acceleration of the maturity of indebtedness outstanding under these agreements, which would require us to pay all amounts outstanding.  If the maturity of our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not have sufficient funds available for repayment or we may not have the ability to borrow or obtain sufficient funds to replace the accelerated indebtedness on terms acceptable to us or at all.  Our failure to repay our bank indebtedness would result in the bank foreclosing on all or a portion of our assets and force us to curtail our operations.

We may be subject to damages resulting from claims that the Company or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.

Upon completion of any acquisitions by the Company, we may be subject to claims that our acquired companies and their employees may have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of former employers or competitors.  Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims.  Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management.  If we fail in defending such claims, in addition to paying money claims, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel.  A loss of key research personnel or their work product could hamper or prevent our ability to commercialize certain products, which could severely harm our business.

The loss of our Chief Executive Offer or other key personnel may adversely affect our operations.

The Company’s success depends to a significant extent upon the operation, experience, and continued services of certain of its officers, including our CEO, as well as other key personnel. While our CEO and the executive officers of Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol are all employed under employment contracts, there is no assurance we will be able to retain their services. The loss of our CEO or several of the other key personnel could have an adverse effect on the Company. If our CEO or other executive officers were to leave we would face substantial difficulty in hiring a qualified successor and could experience a loss in productivity while any successor obtains the necessary training and experience. Furthermore, we do not maintain “key person” life insurance on the lives of any executive officer and their death or incapacity would have a material adverse effect on us. The competition for qualified personnel is intense, and the loss of services of certain key personnel could adversely affect our business.

Internal system or service failures could disrupt our business and impair our ability to effectively provide our services and products to our customers, which could damage our reputation and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

Any system or service disruptions, including those caused by ongoing projects to improve our information technology systems and the delivery of services, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have a material adverse effect on our business including, among other things, an adverse effect on our ability to bill our customers for work performed on our contracts, collect the amounts that have been billed and produce accurate financial statements in a timely manner. We are also subject to systems failures, including network, software or hardware failures, whether caused by us, third-party service providers, cyber security threats, natural disasters, power shortages, terrorist attacks or other events, which could cause loss of data and interruptions or delays in our business, cause us to incur remediation costs, subject us to claims and damage our reputation. In addition, the failure or disruption of our communications or utilities could cause us to interrupt or suspend our operations or otherwise adversely affect our business. Our property and business interruption insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur as a result of any system or operational failure or disruption and, as a result, our future results could be adversely affected.

Customer systems failures could damage our reputation and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

Many of the systems and networks that we develop, install and maintain for our customers involve managing and protecting personal information and information relating to national security and other sensitive government functions. While we have programs designed to comply with relevant privacy and security laws and restrictions, if a system or network that we develop, install or maintain were to fail or experience a security breach or service interruption, whether caused by us, third-party service providers, cyber security threats or other events, we may experience loss of revenue, remediation costs or face claims for damages or contract termination. Any such event could cause serious harm to our reputation and prevent us from having access to or being eligible for further work on such systems and networks. Our errors and omissions liability insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all of the damages that we may incur and, as a result, our future results could be adversely affected.

Our financial performance could be adversely affected by decreases in spending on technology products and services by our public sector customers.

Our sales to our public sector customers are impacted by government spending policies, budget priorities and revenue levels. Although our sales to the federal government are diversified across multiple agencies and departments, they collectively accounted for approximately 10% of 2013 net sales. AirPatrol’s revenues are expected primarily from government customers in 2014 but are anticipated to shift toward a majority of commercial customers in the future. This could increase our consolidated 2014 revenues from government customers to increase to 15-20%. An adverse change in government spending policies (including budget cuts at the federal level), budget priorities or revenue levels could cause our public sector customers to reduce their purchases or to terminate or not renew their contracts with us, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Our business could be adversely affected by the loss of certain vendor partner relationships and the availability of their products.

We purchase products for resale from vendor partners, which include OEMs, software publishers, and wholesale distributors. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we purchased approximately 83% of the products we sold directly from vendor partners and the remaining amount from wholesale distributors. We are authorized by vendor partners to sell all or some of their products via direct marketing activities. Our authorization with each vendor partner is subject to specific terms and conditions regarding such things as sales channel restrictions, product return privileges, price protection policies and purchase discounts.  In the event we were to lose one of our significant vendor partners, our business could be adversely affected.

We have entered, and expect to continue to enter, into joint venture, teaming and other arrangements, and these activities involve risks and uncertainties.  A failure of any such relationship could have material adverse results on our business and results of operations.

We have entered, and expect to continue to enter, into joint venture, teaming and other arrangements. These activities involve risks and uncertainties, including the risk of the joint venture or applicable entity failing to satisfy its obligations, which may result in certain liabilities to us for guarantees and other commitments, the challenges in achieving strategic objectives and expected benefits of the business arrangement, the risk of conflicts arising between us and our partners and the difficulty of managing and resolving such conflicts, and the difficulty of managing or otherwise monitoring such business arrangements. A failure of our business relationships could have material adverse results on our business and results of operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

Our business and operations expose us to numerous legal and regulatory requirements and any violation of these requirements could harm our business.

We are subject to numerous federal, state and foreign legal requirements on matters as diverse as data privacy and protection, employment and labor relations, immigration, taxation, anticorruption, import/export controls, trade restrictions, internal and disclosure control obligations, securities regulation and anti-competition. Compliance with diverse and changing legal requirements is costly, time-consuming and requires significant resources.  We are also focused on expanding our business in certain identified growth areas, such as health information technology, energy and environment, which are highly regulated and may expose us to increased compliance risk. Violations of one or more of these diverse legal requirements in the conduct of our business could result in significant fines and other damages, criminal sanctions against us or our officers, prohibitions on doing business and damage to our reputation. Violations of these regulations or contractual obligations related to regulatory compliance in connection with the performance of customer contracts could also result in liability for significant monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity and other reputational damage, restrictions on our ability to compete for certain work and allegations by our customers that we have not performed our contractual obligations.

If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property rights, we may experience a loss of revenue and our operations may be materially harmed.

We have not registered copyrights on any of the software we have developed. We rely upon confidentiality agreements signed by our employees, consultants and third parties to protect our intellectual property. We cannot assure you that we can adequately protect our intellectual property or successfully prosecute actual or potential infringement of our intellectual property rights. Also, we cannot assure you that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other proprietary rights of ours or that we will be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may result in a loss of revenue and could materially adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

Our performance and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our proprietary technology. Our proprietary software is protected by common law copyright laws, as opposed to registration under copyright statutes.  Common law protection may be narrower than that which we could obtain under registered copyrights.  As a result, we may experience difficulty in enforcing our copyrights against certain third party infringements.  As part of our confidentiality-protection procedures, we generally enter into agreements with our employees and consultants and limit access to, and distribution of, our software, documentation and other proprietary information.  There can be no assurance that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our technology or that agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable.  The laws of other countries may afford us little or no protection of our intellectual property.  We also rely on a variety of technology that we license from third parties.  There can be no assurance that these third party technology licenses will continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The loss of or inability to maintain or obtain upgrades to any of these technology licenses could result in delays in completing software enhancements and new development until equivalent technology could be identified, licensed or developed and integrated.  Any such delays would materially and adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to the Business and Industry of our Subsidiaries

Our growth is dependent on increasing sales to our existing clients and obtaining new clients, which, if unsuccessful, could limit our financial performance.

Our ability to increase revenues from existing clients by identifying additional opportunities to sell more of the products and services of our subsidiaries Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol, and our ability to obtain new clients depends on a number of factors, including our ability to offer high quality products and services at competitive prices, the strength of our competitors and the capabilities of our sales and marketing departments. If we are not able to continue to increase sales to the existing clients of our subsidiaries or to obtain new clients in the future, we may not be able to increase our revenues and could suffer a decrease in revenues as well.

Our results depend on the continued growth of the market for IT products and services, which is uncertain.

Lilien’s IT products and services solutions are designed to address the growing markets for off-premises services (including migrations, consolidations, Cloud computing and disaster recovery), technology integration services (including storage and data protection services and the implementation of virtualization solutions) and managed services (including operational support and client support). These markets are still evolving. Competing technologies and services or reductions in corporate spending may reduce the demand for our products and services.

 

Decreases, or slow growth, in the newspaper publishing industry may adversely affect Shoom’s customers and negatively impact our results from the Shoom operations.

The newspaper industry as a whole is experiencing challenges to maintain and grow print circulation and revenues. This results from, among other factors, increased competition from other media, particularly the growth of electronic media, and shifting preferences among some consumers to receive all or a portion of their news other than from a newspaper. Shoom’s customer base is focused on the newspaper publishing industry and therefore its sales will be subject to the future of newspaper industry. Sysorex plans to help Shoom expand into other verticals but there is no guarantee that it will be successful and no way to know how long such an expansion will take.

 

Our competitiveness depends significantly on our ability to keep pace with the rapid changes in IT. Failure by us to anticipate and meet Lilien’s clients’ technological needs could adversely affect our competitiveness and growth prospects.

Lilien operates and competes in an industry characterized by rapid technological innovation, changing client needs, evolving industry standards and frequent introductions of new products, product enhancements, services and distribution methods. Our success depends on our ability to develop expertise with these new products, product enhancements, services and distribution methods and to implement IT solutions that anticipate and respond to rapid changes in technology, the IT industry, and client needs. The introduction of new products, product enhancements and distribution methods could decrease demand for current products or render them obsolete. Sales of products and services can be dependent on demand for specific product categories, and any change in demand for or supply of such products could have a material adverse effect on our net sales if we fail to adapt to such changes in a timely manner.

We operate in a highly competitive market and Lilien and Shoom may be required to reduce the prices for their products and services to remain competitive, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our industry is developing rapidly and related technology trends are constantly evolving. In this environment, we face significant price competition from our competitors. We may be unable to offset the effect of declining average sales prices through increased sales volumes and/or reductions in our costs. Furthermore, we may be forced to reduce the prices of the products and services we sell in response to offerings made by our competitors. Finally, we may not be able to maintain the level of bargaining power that we have enjoyed in the past when negotiating the prices of our services.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

Lilien faces substantial competition from other national, multi-regional, regional and local value-added resellers and IT service providers, some of which may have greater financial and other resources than we do or that may have more fully developed business relationships with clients or prospective clients than we do. Many of our competitors compete principally on the basis of price and may have lower costs or accept lower selling prices than we do and, therefore, we may need to reduce our prices. In addition, manufacturers may choose to market their products directly to end-users, rather than through IT solutions providers such as us, and this could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Profitability of our subsidiaries Lilien, Shoom and AirPatrol is dependent on the rates we are able to charge for our products and services. The rates we are able to charge for our products and services are affected by a number of factors, including:

 

	·	our clients’ perceptions of our ability to add value through our services;
	·	introduction of new services or products by us or our competitors;
	·	our competitors’ pricing policies;
	·	our ability to charge higher prices where market demand or the value of our services justifies it;
	·	procurement practices of our clients; and
	·	general economic and political conditions.

 

If we are not able to maintain favorable pricing for our products and services, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Lilien’s sales are subject to quarterly and seasonal variations that may cause significant fluctuations in our operating results, therefore period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be reliable predictors of future performance.

The timing of our revenues can be difficult to predict. Our sales efforts involve educating our clients about the use and benefit of the products we sell and our services and solutions, including their technical capabilities and potential cost savings to an organization. Clients typically undertake a significant evaluation process that has in the past resulted in a lengthy sales cycle, which typically lasts several months, and may last a year or longer. We spend substantial time, effort and money on our sales efforts without any assurance that our efforts will produce any sales during a given period.

In addition, many of our clients spend a substantial portion of their IT budgets in the second half of the year. Other factors that may cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate include changes in general economic conditions and the impact of unforeseen events. We believe that our revenues will continue to be affected in the future by cyclical trends. As a result, you may not be able to rely on period-to-period comparisons of our operating results as an indication of our future performance.

A delay in the completion of our clients’ budget processes could delay purchases of the products and services of our subsidiaries, and have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We rely on our clients to purchase products and services from us to maintain and increase our earnings, and client purchases are frequently subject to budget constraints, multiple approvals and unplanned administrative, processing and other delays. If sales expected from a specific client are not realized when anticipated or at all, our results could fall short of public expectations and our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Lilien’s profit margins depend, in part, on the volume of products and services sold.  A failure to achieve increases in our profit margins in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Given the significant levels of competition that characterize the IT reseller market, it is unlikely that Lilien will be able to increase gross profit margins through increases in its sales of IT products alone. Any increases in its gross profit margins in the future will depend, in part, on the growth of our higher margin businesses such as IT consulting and professional services. In addition, low margins increase the sensitivity of our results of operations to increases in costs of financing. Any failure by us to maintain or increase our gross profit margins could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Any failures or interruptions in our services or systems could damage our reputation and substantially harm our business and results of operations.

Our success depends in part on our ability to provide reliable remote services, technology integration and managed services to our clients.   The operations of Lilien, which currently has its company data center located in Larkspur, California, and Shoom has its data center in Los Angeles, California, are susceptible to damage or interruption from human error, fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks and similar events. We could also experience failures or interruptions of our systems and services, or other problems in connection with our operations, as a result of:

 

	·	damage to or failure of our computer software or hardware or our connections;
	·	errors in the processing of data by our systems;
	·	computer viruses or software defects;
	·	physical or electronic break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar events;
	·	increased capacity demands or changes in systems requirements of our clients; and

Any interruptions in our systems or services could damage our reputation and substantially harm our business and results of operations. While we maintain disaster recovery plans and insurance with coverage we believe to be adequate, claims may exceed insurance coverage limits, may not be covered by insurance or insurance may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms.

Lilien and Shoom’s services and solutions involve storing and replicating mission-critical data for our clients and are highly technical in nature. If client data is lost or corrupted, our reputation and business could be harmed.

Lilien’s data center and technology integration services and Shoom’s software-as-a-service solutions include storing and replicating mission-critical data for our clients. The process of storing and replicating that data within their data centers or at our facilities is highly technical and complex. If any data is lost or corrupted in connection with the use of our products and services, our reputation could be seriously harmed and market acceptance of our IT solutions could suffer. In addition, our solutions have contained, and may in the future contain, undetected errors, defects or security vulnerabilities. Some errors in our solutions may only be discovered after a solution has been in use by clients. Any errors, defects or security vulnerabilities discovered in our solutions after use by clients could result in loss of revenues, loss of clients, increased service and warranty cost and diversion of attention of our management and technical personnel, any of which could significantly harm our business. In addition, we could face claims for product liability, tort or breach of warranty. Defending a lawsuit, regardless of its merit, is costly and may divert management’s attention and adversely affect the market’s perception of us and our service offerings and solutions.

Lilien does not have long-term recurring revenue generating contracts with its clients, and its clients may cease providing new purchase orders at any time or reduce the amount of purchases they make that would depress Lilien’s revenues and harm our results of operations.

 

Our operations depend upon our relationships with our clients. Lilien’s revenues are typically driven by purchase orders received every month. The majority of Lilien’s revenues come from one time purchase orders that do not guarantee any future recurring revenues.  Approximately twenty five percent of Lilien’s revenues are recurring and based on contracts that range from 1-5 years for warranty and maintenance support.  For these contracts the customer is invoiced one time and pays Lilien up front for the full term of the warranty and maintenance contract. Revenue from these contracts is determinable ratably over the contract period with the unearned revenue recorded as deferred revenue and amortized over the contract period. Lilien’s clients may cease providing new purchase orders at any time, may elect not to renew such contracts, cancel and request a refund of maintenance/warranty services that have not yet been provided (upon 30 days advance written notice) or reschedule purchases. If clients cease providing us with new purchase orders, diminish the services purchased from us, cancel executed purchase orders or delay future purchase orders, Lilien’s revenues would be negatively impacted, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. There is no guarantee that we will be able to retain or generate future revenue from Lilien’s existing clients or develop relationships with new clients.

There is a risk that Lilien could lose a large client without being able to find a ready replacement.

The loss of any large client, the failure of any large client to pay its accounts receivable on a timely basis or a material reduction in the amount of purchases made by any large client could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Consolidation in the industries that we serve or from which we purchase could adversely affect our business.

Clients that Lilien or Shoom serve may seek to achieve economies of scale by combining with or acquiring other companies. If two or more of our current clients combine their operations, it may decrease the amount of work that we perform for these clients. If one of our current clients merges or consolidates with a company that relies on another provider for its consulting, systems integration and technology, or outsourcing services, we may lose work from that client or lose the opportunity to gain additional work. If two or more of our suppliers merge or consolidate operations, the increased market power of the larger company could also increase our product costs and place competitive pressures on us. Any of these possible results of industry consolidation could adversely affect our business.

The loss of any key manufacturer or distributor relationships, or related industry certifications, could have an adverse effect on our business.

As part of Lilien’s end-to-end IT solutions, we are authorized resellers of the products and services of leading IT manufacturers and distributors. In many cases, we have achieved the highest level of relationship the manufacturer or distributor offers. In addition, our employees hold certifications issued by these manufacturers and by industry associations relating to the configuration, installation and servicing of these products. Lilien differentiates itself from its competitors by the range of manufacturers and distributors we represent, the relationship level we have achieved with these manufacturers and distributors and the scope of the manufacturer and industry certifications our employees hold. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain these relationships with our manufacturers and distributors, that we will be able to retain the employees holding these manufacturer and industry certifications, or that our employees will maintain their manufacturer or industry certifications. The loss of any of these relationships or certifications could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Lilien may experience a reduction in the incentive programs offered to us by our vendors.  Any such reduction could have a  material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Lilien receives payments and credits from vendors, including consideration pursuant to volume sales incentive programs and marketing development funding programs. These programs are usually of finite terms and may not be renewed or may be changed in a way that has an adverse effect on us. Vendor funding is used to offset, among other things, inventory costs, costs of goods sold, marketing costs and other operating expenses. Certain of these funds are based on our volume of net sales or purchases, growth rate of net sales or purchases and marketing programs. If we do not grow our net sales or if we are not in compliance with the terms of these programs, there could be a material negative effect on the amount of incentives offered or paid to us by vendors. No assurance can be given that we will continue to receive such incentives or that we will be able to collect outstanding amounts relating to these incentives in a timely manner, or at all. Any sizeable reduction in, the discontinuance of, or a significant delay in receiving or the inability to collect such incentives, particularly related to incentive programs with Lilien’s largest partner, Hewlett-Packard Company, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we are unable to react timely to any fundamental changes in the programs of vendors, including the elimination of funding for some of the activities for which we have been compensated in the past, such changes would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Lilien or Shoom may need additional cash financing and any failure by Lilien to obtain cash financing, could limit our ability to grow Lilien’s business and develop or enhance our service offerings to respond to market demand or competitive challenges.

Lilien and Shoom management believe that their respective current cash and cash flow from operations should be sufficient to meet their anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Lilien and Shoom may, however, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any new lines of business it may decide to pursue. If these resources are insufficient to satisfy their cash requirements, Lilien and/or Shoom may seek additional cash from the parent company. If we are unable to raise the required cash, their ability to grow their business and develop or enhance their service offerings to respond to market demand or competitive challenges could be limited.

 

Lilien relies on inventory financing and vendor credit arrangements for its daily working capital and certain operational functions, the loss of which could have a material adverse effect on our future results.

Lilien relies on its inventory financing and vendor financing arrangements for daily working capital and to fund equipment purchases for our technology sales business. The loss of any of our inventory financing or vendor credit financing arrangements, a reduction in the amount of credit granted to us by our vendors, or a change in any of the material terms of these arrangements could increase our need for and the cost of working capital and have a material adverse effect on our future results. These credit arrangements are discretionary on the part of our creditors and require the performance of certain operational covenants. There can be no assurance that we will continue to meet those covenants and failure to do so may limit availability of, or cause us to lose, such financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will continue to be available to us in the future on acceptable terms.

If Lilien cannot collect its receivables or if payment is delayed, our business may be adversely affected by our inability to generate cash flow, provide working capital or continue our business operations.

Lilien’s business depends on its ability to successfully obtain payment from its clients of the amounts they owe us for products received from us and any work performed by us. The timely collection of our receivables allows us to generate cash flow, provide working capital and continue our business operations. Lilien’s clients may fail to pay or delay the payment of invoices for a number of reasons, including financial difficulties resulting from macroeconomic conditions, or lack of an approved budget.  An extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account will have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days of our accounts receivable. If we are unable to timely collect our receivables from our clients for any reason, our business and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Because AirPatrol derives substantially all of its revenues and cash flows from sales of a limited range of products, failure of these products to satisfy customer demands or to achieve increased market acceptance would adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects.

AirPatrol derives and expects to continue to derive a substantial portion of its revenues and cash flows from sales of its products. As such, the market acceptance of its products is critical to our continued success. Demand for AirPatrol’s products is affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including continued market acceptance, the timing of development and release of new products by competitors, technological change, and growth or decline in the mobile device management market. We expect the proliferation of mobile devices to lead to an increase in the data security demands of our customers, and AirPatrol’s products may not be able to scale and perform to meet those demands. If AirPatrol is unable to continue to meet customer demands or to achieve more widespread market acceptance of its products, our business operations, financial results and growth prospects will be materially and adversely affected.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

If AirPatrol is unable to sell additional products and services to its customers, our future revenue and operating results may suffer.

The future success of AirPatrol depends, in part, on its ability to expand the deployment of its platform with existing customers by selling additional products to secure other areas of its customers’ portfolio, and by upselling additional subscription services to provide more robust mobile device security. This may require increasingly sophisticated and costly sales efforts and may not result in additional sales. In addition, the rate at which AirPatrol’s customers purchase additional products and services depends on a number of factors, including the perceived need for additional mobile device security products and services, as well as general economic conditions.  If AirPatrol’s efforts to sell additional products and services to its customers are not successful, our business may suffer.

AirPatrol also depends on its installed customer base for future support and maintenance revenues. If customers choose not to continue renewing their support and maintenance or seek to renegotiate the terms of support and maintenance agreements prior to renewing such agreements, our revenue may decline.

Managing the supply of AirPatrol’s products and product components is complex. Insufficient supply and inventory may result in lost sales opportunities or delayed revenue, while excess inventory may harm gross margins.

Third-party manufacturers procure components and build AirPatrol’s products based on forecasts, and AirPatrol generally does not hold inventory for a prolonged period of time. These forecasts are based on estimates of future demand for AirPatrol’s products, which are in turn based on historical trends and analyses from AirPatrol’s sales and marketing organizations, adjusted for overall market conditions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

AirPatrol’s inventory management systems and related supply chain tools may not be able to forecast accurately and effectively manage supply of its products. If AirPatrol ultimately determines that it has excess supply, AirPatrol may have to reduce its prices and write-down inventory, which in turn could result in lower gross margins. If AirPatrol’s actual component usage and product demand are lower than the forecast, AirPatrol accrues for losses on manufacturing commitments in excess of forecasted demand.

Any production interruptions for any reason, such as a natural disaster, epidemic, capacity shortages, or quality problems, at one of AirPatrol’s manufacturing partners would negatively affect sales of AirPatrol’s product lines manufactured by that manufacturing partner and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Defects, errors, or vulnerabilities in AirPatrol’s products or services or the failure of AirPatrol’s products or services to prevent a security breach, could harm our reputation and adversely impact our results of operations.

Because AirPatrol’s products and services are complex, they have contained and may contain design or manufacturing defects or errors that are not detected until after their commercial release and deployment by customers. Defects may cause AirPatrol’s products to be vulnerable to advanced persistent threats (APTs) or security attacks, cause them to fail to help secure information or temporarily interrupt customers’ networking traffic. Because the techniques used by hackers to access sensitive information change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target,  AirPatrol may be unable to anticipate these techniques and provide a solution in time to protect customers’ data. In addition, defects or errors in AirPatrol’s subscription updates or products could result in a failure of AirPatrol’s services to effectively update customers’ hardware products and thereby leave customers vulnerable to APTs or security attacks.

Any defects, errors or vulnerabilities in AirPatrol’s products could result in:

 

	·	Expenditure of significant financial and product development resources in efforts to analyze, correct, eliminate, or work-around errors or defects or to address and eliminate vulnerabilities;
	·	Delayed or lost revenue;
	·	Loss of existing or potential customers or partners;
	·	Increased warranty claims compared with historical experience, or increased cost of servicing warranty claims, either of which would adversely affect gross margins; and
	·	Litigation, regulatory inquiries, or investigations that may be costly and harm our reputation

 

AirPatrol’s current research and development efforts may not produce successful products or features that result in significant revenue, cost savings or other benefits in the near future.  If AirPatrol does not realize significant revenue from its research and development efforts, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

Developing products and related enhancements in our field is expensive.  AirPatrol’s investments in research and development may not result in significant design improvements, marketable products or features or may result in products that are more expensive than anticipated.  AirPatrol may not achieve the cost savings or the anticipated performance improvements expected, and AirPatrol may take longer to generate revenue from products in development, or generate less revenue than expected.

AirPatrol’s future plans include significant investments in research and development and related product opportunities. AirPatrol and our management believe that AirPatrol must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to research and development efforts to maintain a competitive position. However, AirPatrol may not receive significant revenue from these investments in the near future, or these investments may not yield the expected benefits, either of which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Misuse of AirPatrol’s products could harm our reputation and that of AirPatrol.

AirPatrol’s products may be misused by customers or third parties that obtain access to AirPatrol’s products. For example, AirPatrol’s products could be used to protect information kept by criminals from government agencies. Such use of AirPatrol’s products for censorship could result in negative press coverage and negatively affect our reputation.

If the general level of advanced attacks declines, or is perceived by current or potential customers to have declined, this could harm the business of AirPatrol, and our financial condition, operating results and growth prospects.

AirPatrol’s business is substantially dependent upon enterprises and governments recognizing that APTs and other security attacks are pervasive and are not effectively prevented by legacy security solutions. High visibility attacks on prominent enterprises and governments have increased market awareness of the problem of APTs and security attacks and help to provide an impetus for enterprises and governments to devote resources to protecting against attacks, such as testing our platform, purchasing it, and broadly deploying it within their organizations. If APTs and other security attacks were to decline, or enterprises or governments perceived that the general level of attacks has declined, AirPatrol’s ability to attract new customers and expand its offerings for existing customers could be materially and adversely affected, which would, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

 

If AirPatrol’s products do not effectively interoperate with its customers’ IT infrastructure, installations could be delayed or cancelled, which would harm the business of AirPatrol, and our financial condition, operating results and growth prospects.

AirPatrol’s products must effectively interoperate with its customers’ existing or future IT infrastructure, which often has different specifications, utilizes multiple protocol standards, deploys products from multiple vendors, and contains multiple generations of products that have been added over time. As a result, when problems occur in a company’s infrastructure, it may be difficult to identify the sources of these problems. If AirPatrol finds errors in the existing software or defects in the hardware used in its customers’ infrastructure, AirPatrol may have to modify its software or hardware so that its products will interoperate with the infrastructure of its customers. In such cases, AirPatrol’s products may be unable to provide significant performance improvements for applications deployed in the infrastructure of its customers. These issues could cause longer installation times for AirPatrol’s products and could cause order cancellations, either of which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.  In addition, other customers may require products to comply with certain security or other certifications and standards.  If AirPatrol’s products are late in achieving or fail to achieve compliance with these certifications and standards, or competitors sooner achieve compliance with these certifications and standards, AirPatrol may be disqualified from selling its products to such customers, or may otherwise be at a competitive disadvantage, either of which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Failure to protect AirPatrol’s intellectual property rights could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and growth prospects.

The success of both Sysorex and AirPatrol depends, in part, on our ability to protect proprietary methods and technologies that we develop under patent and other intellectual property laws of the United States so that we can prevent others from using our inventions and proprietary information.  If Sysorex or AirPatrol fail to protect intellectual property rights adequately, competitors might gain access to our technology, and our business might be adversely affected. However, defending our intellectual property rights might entail significant expenses. Any patents issued in the future may not provide us with any competitive advantages, and our patent applications may never be granted. The process of obtaining patent protection is expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. Even if issued, there can be no assurance that these patents will adequately protect our intellectual property, as the legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of patent and other intellectual property rights are complex and often uncertain.  Our inability to protect our property rights could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and growth prospects.

We may not be able to successfully integrate AirPatrol into our ongoing business operations, which may result in our inability to fully realize the intended benefits of the AirPatrol acquisition, or may disrupt our current operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and/or results of operations.

 

We are in the process of integrating the operations of AirPatrol into our business, and this process involves complex operational, technological and personnel-related challenges, which are time-consuming and expensive and may disrupt our ongoing business operations.  Furthermore, integration involves a number of risks, including, but not limited to:

	·	difficulties or complications in combining the companies' operations;
	·	differences in controls, procedures and policies, regulatory standards and business cultures among the combined companies;
	·	the diversion of management's attention from our ongoing core business operations;
	·	increased exposure to certain governmental regulations and compliance requirements;
	·	the potential loss of key personnel who choose not to remain with AirPatrol or Sysorex;
	·	the potential loss of key customers or suppliers who choose not to do business with the combined business;
	·	difficulties or delays in consolidating AirPatrol’s information technology platforms, including implementing systems designed to continue to ensure that the Company maintains effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for the combined company and enable the Company to continue to comply with U.S. GAAP and applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations;
	·	unanticipated costs and other assumed contingent liabilities;
	·	difficulty comparing financial reports due to differing financial and/or internal reporting systems;
	·	making any necessary modifications to internal financial control standards to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and/or
	·	possible tax costs or inefficiencies associated with integrating the operations of the combined company.

 

These factors could cause us to not fully realize the anticipated financial and/or strategic benefits of the AirPatrol acquisition, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

Even if we are able to successfully operate AirPatrol within Sysorex, we may not be able to realize the revenue and other synergies and growth that we anticipate from the acquisition in the time frame that we currently expect, and the costs of achieving these benefits may be higher than what we currently expect, because of a number of risks, including, but not limited to:

 

	·	the possibility that the acquisition may not further our business strategy as we expected;
	·	the possibility that we may not be able to expand the reach and customer base for AirPatrol’s current and future products as expected;
	·	the possibility that we may not be able to expand the reach and customer base for Sysorex’s products as expected;
	·	the possibility that the carrying amounts of goodwill and other purchased intangible assets may not be recoverable; and
	·	the fact that the acquisition will substantially expand our mobile device security business, and we may not experience anticipated growth in that market.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

As a result of these risks, the AirPatrol acquisition and integration may not contribute to our earnings as expected, we may not achieve expected revenue synergies or our return on invested capital targets when expected, or at all, and we may not achieve the other anticipated strategic and financial benefits of the acquisition.

A significant portion of the purchase price for our acquisition of AirPatrol is allocated to goodwill and intangible assets that are subject to periodic impairment evaluations. An impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations .

On a pro forma basis, we anticipate acquiring approximately $5 million of goodwill and $24 million of intangible assets relating to our acquisition of AirPatrol.  As required by current accounting standards, we review intangible assets for impairment either annually or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  The risk of impairment to goodwill is higher during the early years following an acquisition. This is because the fair values of these assets align very closely with what we paid to acquire the reporting units to which these assets are assigned. As a result, the difference between the carrying value of the reporting unit and its fair value (typically referred to as “headroom”) is smaller at the time of acquisition.  Until this headroom grows over time, due to business growth or lower carrying value of the reporting unit, a relatively small decrease in reporting unit fair value can trigger impairment charges.  When impairment charges are triggered, they tend to be material due to the size of the assets involved.  Our business would be adversely affected, and impairment of goodwill could be triggered, if any of the following were to occur: higher attrition rates than planned as a result of the competitive environment or our inability to provide products and services that are competitive in the marketplace, lower-than-planned adoption rates by AirPatrol customers, higher-than-expected expense levels to provide services to clients, and changes in our business model that may impact one or more of these variables.

 

Our business may be burdened by the contingent earn-out obligations in connection with the AirPatrol Acquisition .

In connection with the AirPatrol Acquisition, we have incurred the obligation to make a contingent earn-out payment if certain financial targets of the acquired business are met over a specified period. Contractual provisions relating to the contingent earn-out obligation include covenants to operate AirPatrol in a manner that may not otherwise be most advantageous to us. These provisions may also result in the risk of litigation relating to the calculation of the earn-out obligation amount due as well as the operation of AirPatrol. Such litigation could be expensive and divert management attention and resources. We can give no assurance that our contingent obligations, including the associated covenants relating to the operation of AirPatrol, will not otherwise adversely affect our business, liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.

 

Our acquisitions, including the AirPatrol Acquisition, may expose us to additional liabilities, and insurance and indemnification coverage may not fully protect us from these liabilities.

Upon completion of acquisitions, we may be exposed to unknown or contingent liabilities associated with the acquired entity, and if these liabilities exceed our estimates, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and negatively affected.  As a part of the AirPatrol Acquisition in particular, the AirPatrol parties have agreed to indemnify us for any breaches of representations, warranties or covenants in the related Merger Agreement, within the one year period following the closing of the acquisition.  Indemnification of Sysorex is limited to (a) 50% of the total Merger Consideration (defined hereafter) paid to AirPatrol’s shareholders for intellectual-property related claims, and (b) 800,000 shares of our common stock and $2 million for all other types of claims.  AirPatrol agreed to a holdback escrow into which 800,000 shares of our common stock shall be deposited and held for one year following the closing of the acquisition.  Shares of common stock would be cancelled out of the holdback escrow, and returned to Sysorex (instead of to the AirPatrol merger consideration recipients), in the event that Sysorex is owed compensation under the indemnification provisions.  In addition, up to $2 million out of the potential $10 million earn-out shall be available to pay indemnification claims to Sysorex.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if indemnification claims exceed the value of the shares held in the holdback escrow, the $2 million available from any potential earn-out, and amounts recoverable under applicable insurance policies of AirPatrol, we may be required to absorb losses relating to the AirPatrol Acquisition. While we reserve amounts to pay for any losses in connection with acquisitions in accordance with GAAP, those reserves may not be adequate over time to cover actual losses, and if any such losses exceed the reserved amount, we would recognize losses to the extent of such excess, which would adversely affect our net income and stockholders’ equity and, depending on the extent of such excess losses, could adversely affect our business.

The risks arising with respect to the historic business and operations of AirPatrol may be different from what we anticipate, which could significantly increase the costs and decrease the benefits of the acquisition and materially and adversely affect our operations going forward .

Although we performed significant financial, legal, technological and business due diligence with respect to AirPatrol, we may not have appreciated, understood or fully anticipated the extent of the risks associated with the acquisition.  As mentioned above, we have secured indemnification for certain matters from the former equity holders of AirPatrol in order to mitigate the consequences of breaches of representations, warranties and covenants under the Merger Agreement and the risks associated with historic operations, including those with respect to compliance with laws, accuracy of financial statements, financial reporting controls and procedures, tax matters and undisclosed liabilities, and certain matters known to us. We believe that the indemnification provisions of the Merger Agreement, together with the holdback escrow and insurance policies that we and AirPatrol have in place will limit the economic consequences of the issues we have identified in our due diligence to acceptable levels. Notwithstanding our exercise of due diligence and risk mitigation strategies, the risks of the acquisition and the costs associated with these risks may be greater than we anticipate. We may not be able to contain or control the costs associated with unanticipated risks or liabilities, which could materially and adversely affect our business, liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

We depend on the U.S. Government for a substantial portion of our business and government budget impasses together with changes in government defense spending could have adverse consequences on our financial position, results of operations and business.

A substantial portion of our U.S. revenues from Sysorex Government Service’s and AirPatrol’s operations have been from and will continue to be from sales and services rendered directly or indirectly to the U.S. Government. Consequently, the Company’s revenues are highly dependent on the Government’s demand for computer systems and related services. Our revenues from the U.S. Government largely result from contracts awarded to us under various U.S. Government programs, primarily defense-related programs with the Department of Defense (DoD), as well as a broad range of programs with the Department of Homeland Security, the Intelligence Community and other departments and agencies.  Cost cutting including through consolidation and elimination of duplicative organizations and insurance has become a major initiative for DoD.  The funding of our programs is subject to the overall U.S. Government budget and appropriation decisions and processes which are driven by numerous factors, including geo-political events and macroeconomic conditions.  It is expected that U.S. Government spending on IT will decrease from 6% CAGR during the first decade of the 21st Century to 3%.  ( Source :  Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018).  The overall level of U.S. defense spending increased in recent years for numerous reasons, including increases in funding of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.  However, with the winding down of both wars, defense spending levels are becoming increasingly difficult to predict and are expected to be affected by numerous factors. Such factors include priorities of the Administration and the Congress, and the overall health of the U.S. and world economies and the state of governmental finances.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

The Budget Control Act of 2011 enacted 10-year discretionary spending caps which are expected to generate over $1 trillion in savings for the U.S. Government, a substantial portion of which comes from DoD baseline spending reductions. In addition, the Budget Control Act of 2011 provides for additional automatic spending cuts (referred to as “sequestration”) totaling $1.2 trillion over nine years which were implemented beginning in the U.S. Government fiscal year ending September 30, 2013 (GFY13). These reduction targets will further reduce DoD and other federal agency budgets. Although the Office of Management and Budget has provided guidance to agencies on implementing sequestration cuts, there remains much uncertainty about how exactly sequestration cuts will be implemented and the impact those cuts will have on contractors supporting the government. We are not able to predict the impact of future budget cuts, including sequestration, on our Company or our financial results. However, we expect that budgetary constraints and concerns related to the national debt will continue to place downward pressure on DoD spending levels and that implementation of the automatic spending cuts without change will reduce, delay or cancel funding for certain of our contracts - particularly those with unobligated balances - and programs and could adversely impact our operations, financial results and growth prospects.

 

A significant reduction in defense spending could have long-term consequences for our size and structure. In addition, reduction in government priorities and requirements could impact the funding, or the timing of funding, of our programs, which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.  In addition, we are involved in U.S. Government programs, which are classified by the U.S. Government and our ability to discuss these programs, including any risks and disputes and claims associated with and our performance under such programs, could be limited due to applicable security restrictions.

 

The U.S. Government Systems integration business is intensely competitive and we may not be able to win government bids when competing against much larger companies, which could reduce our revenues.

Large computer systems integration contracts awarded by the U.S. Government are few in number and are awarded through a formal competitive bidding process, including IDIQ, GSA Schedule and other multi-award contracts. Bids are awarded on the basis of price, compliance with technical bidding specifications, technical expertise and, in some cases, demonstrated management ability to perform the contract. There can be no assurance that the Company will win and/or fulfill additional contracts. Moreover, the award of these contracts is subject to protest procedures and there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in any ensuing legal protest. The Company’s failure to secure a significant dollar volume of U.S. Government contracts in the future would adversely affect our Sysorex Government Services subsidiary.

The U.S. Government Systems integration business is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. The Company competes with a large number of systems integrators, hardware and software manufacturers, and other large and diverse companies attempting to enter or expand their presence in the U.S. Government market. Many of the existing and potential competitors have greater financial, operating and technological resources than the Company. The competitive environment may require us to make changes in our pricing, services or marketing. The competitive bidding process involves substantial costs and a number of risks, including significant cost and managerial time to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may not be awarded to us, or that may be awarded, but for which we do not receive meaningful revenues. Accordingly, our success depends on our ability to develop services and products that address changing needs and to provide people and technology needed to deliver these services and products. To remain competitive, we must consistently provide superior service, technology and performance on a cost-effective basis to our customers.  Our response to competition could cause us to expend significant financial and other resources, disrupt our operations, strain relationships with partners, any of which could harm our business and/or financial condition.

Sysorex Government Service’s financial performance is dependent on our ability to perform on our U.S. Government contracts, which are subject to termination for convenience, which could harm our results of operations and financial condition.

Sysorex Government Service’s financial performance is dependent on our performance under our U.S. Government contracts.  The Company’s strategy is to pursue a limited number of relatively large contracts. As a result, prior to the Lilien Acquisition, the Company derived a significant portion of its revenues from a small number of contracts. Government customers have the right to cancel any contract at their convenience. An unanticipated termination of, or reduced purchases under, one of the Company’s major contracts whether due to lack of funding, for convenience or otherwise, or the occurrence of delays, cost overruns and product failures could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.  If one of our contracts were terminated for convenience, we would generally be entitled to payments for our allowable costs and would receive some allowance for profit on the work performed. If one of our contracts were terminated for default, we would generally be entitled to payments for our work that has been accepted by the government. A termination arising out of our default could expose us to liability and have a negative impact on our ability to obtain future contracts and orders. Furthermore, on contracts for which we are a subcontractor and not the prime contractor, the U.S. Government could terminate the prime contract for convenience or otherwise, irrespective of our performance as a subcontractor.  The termination or cancellation of U.S. Government contracts, no matter what the reason, could harm our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our failure to comply with a variety of complex procurement rules and regulations could result in our being liable for penalties, including termination of our U.S. Government contracts, disqualification from bidding on future U.S. Government contracts and suspension or debarment from U.S. Government contracting that could adversely affect our financial condition .

We must comply with laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of U.S. Government contracts, which affect how we do business with our customers and may impose added costs on our business. U.S. Government contracts generally are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which sets forth policies, procedures and requirements for the acquisition of goods and services by the U.S. Government, department-specific regulations that implement or supplement DFAR, such as the DoD’s Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and other applicable laws and regulations. We are also subject to the Truth in Negotiations Act, which requires certification and disclosure of cost and pricing data in connection with certain contract negotiations; the Procurement Integrity Act, which regulates access to competitor bid and proposal information and government source selection information, and our ability to provide compensation to certain former government officials; the Civil False Claims Act, which provides for substantial civil penalties for violations, including for submission of a false or fraudulent claim to the U.S. Government for payment or approval; and the U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards, which impose accounting requirements that govern our right to reimbursement under certain cost-based U.S. Government contracts. These regulations impose a broad range of requirements, many of which are unique to government contracting, including various procurement, import and export, security, contract pricing and cost, contract termination and adjustment, and audit requirements. A contractor’s failure to comply with these regulations and requirements could result in reductions to the value of contracts, contract modifications or termination, and the assessment of penalties and fines and lead to suspension or debarment, for cause, from government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time. In addition, government contractors are also subject to routine audits and investigations by U.S. Government agencies such as the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA). These agencies review a contractor’s performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The DCAA also reviews the adequacy of and a contractor’s compliance with its internal control systems and policies, including the contractor’s purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. During the term of any suspension or debarment by any U.S. Government agency, contractors can be prohibited from competing for or being awarded contracts by U.S. Government agencies. The termination of any of the Company’s significant Government contracts or the imposition of fines, damages, suspensions or debarment would adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition.

The U.S. Government may adopt new contract rules and regulations or revise its procurement practices in a manner adverse to us at any time.

Our industry has experienced, and we expect it will continue to experience, significant changes to business practices as a result of an increased focus on affordability, efficiencies, and recovery of costs, among other items. U.S. Government agencies may face restrictions or pressure regarding the type and amount of services that they may obtain from private contractors. Legislation, regulations and initiatives dealing with procurement reform, mitigation of potential conflicts of interest and environmental responsibility or sustainability, as well as any resulting shifts in the buying practices of U.S. Government agencies, such as increased usage of fixed price contracts, multiple award contracts and small business set-aside contracts, could have adverse effects on government contractors, including us. Any of these changes could impair our ability to obtain new contracts or renew our existing contracts when those contracts expire and are subject to a renewed bidding process. Any new contracting requirements or procurement methods could be costly or administratively difficult for us to implement and could adversely affect our future revenues, profitability and prospects.

We may incur cost overruns as a result of fixed priced government contracts which would have a negative impact on our operations.

Most of Sysorex’s current U.S. Government contracts are multi-award, multi-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) task order based contracts, which generally provide for fixed price schedules for products and services, have no pre-set delivery schedules, have very low minimum purchase requirements, are typically competed over among multiple awardees and force us to carry the burden of any cost overruns. Due to their nature, fixed-priced contracts inherently have more risk than cost reimbursable contracts.  If we are unable to control costs or if our initials cost estimates are incorrect, we can lose money on these contracts. In addition, some of our contracts have provisions relating to cost controls and audit rights, and if we fail to meet the terms specified in those contracts, we may not realize their full benefits. Lower earnings caused by cost overruns and cost controls would have a negative impact on our results of operations.  The U.S. Government has the right to enter into contract with other suppliers, which may be competitive with the Company’s IDIQ contracts. The Company also performs fixed priced contracts under which the Company agrees to provide specific quantities of products and services over time for a fixed price.  Since the price competition to win both IDIQ and fixed price contracts is intense and the costs of future contract performance cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance as to the profits, if any, that the Company will realize over the term of such contracts.

Misconduct of employees, subcontractors, agents and business partners could cause us to lose existing contracts or customers and adversely affect our ability to obtain new contracts and customers and could have a significant adverse impact on our business and reputation.

Misconduct could include fraud or other improper activities such as falsifying time or other records and violations of laws, including the Anti-Kickback Act. Other examples could include the failure to comply with our policies and procedures or with federal, state or local government procurement regulations, regulations regarding the use and safeguarding of classified or other protected information, legislation regarding the pricing of labor and other costs in government contracts, laws and regulations relating to environmental, health or safety matters, bribery of foreign government officials, import-export control, lobbying or similar activities, and any other applicable laws or regulations. Any data loss or information security lapses resulting in the compromise of personal information or the improper use or disclosure of sensitive or classified information could result in claims, remediation costs, regulatory sanctions against us, loss of current and future contracts and serious harm to our reputation. Although we have implemented policies, procedures and controls to prevent and detect these activities, these precautions may not prevent all misconduct, and as a result, we could face unknown risks or losses. Our failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or misconduct by any of our employees, subcontractors, agents or business partners could damage our reputation and subject us to fines and penalties, restitution or other damages, loss of security clearance, loss of current and future customer contracts and suspension or debarment from contracting with federal, state or local government agencies, any of which would adversely affect our business, reputation and our future results.

We may fail to obtain and maintain necessary security clearances, which may adversely affect our ability to perform on certain U.S. government contracts and depress our potential revenues.

Many U.S. government programs require contractors to have security clearances. Depending on the level of required clearance, security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain. If we or our employees are unable to obtain or retain necessary security clearances, we may not be able to win new business, and our existing clients could terminate their contracts with us or decide not to renew them. To the extent we are not able to obtain and maintain facility security clearances or engage employees with the required security clearances for a particular contract, we may not be able to bid on or win new contracts, or effectively rebid on expiring contracts, as well as lose existing contracts, which may adversely affect our operating results and inhibit the execution of our growth strategy.

Our future revenues and growth prospects could be adversely affected by our dependence on other contractors.

If other contractors with whom we have contractual relationships either as a prime contractor or subcontractor eliminate or reduce their work with us, or if the U.S. Government terminates or reduces these other contractors’ programs, does not award them new contracts or refuses to pay under a contract our financial and business condition may be adversely affected. Companies that do not have access to U.S. Government contracts may perform services as our subcontractor and that exposure could enhance such companies’ prospect of securing a future position as a prime U.S. Government contractor which could increase competition for future contracts and impair our ability to perform on contracts.

We may have disputes with our subcontractors arising from, among other things, the quality and timeliness of work performed by the subcontractor, customer concerns about the subcontractor, our failure to extend existing task orders or issue new task orders under a subcontract, our hiring of a subcontractor’s personnel or the subcontractor’s failure to comply with applicable law. Current uncertain economic conditions heighten the risk of financial stress of our subcontractors, which could adversely impact their ability to meet their contractual requirements to us. If any of our subcontractors fail to timely meet their contractual obligations or have regulatory compliance or other problems, our ability to fulfill our obligations as a prime contractor or higher tier subcontractor may be jeopardized. Significant losses could arise in future periods and subcontractor performance deficiencies could result in our termination for default. A termination for default could eliminate a revenue source, expose us to liability and have an adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and task orders, especially if the customer is an agency of the U.S. Government.

Sysorex Arabia is currently without contracts and is unable to repay its indebtedness, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition.

As of December 31, 2013, Sysorex Arabia had minimal cash, $749,000 in deposits and $38,000 in other assets and inter-company balances and debts. Sysorex Arabia had an accumulated deficit balance of approximately $1,560,000. Sysorex Arabia’s largest contract was with Optical Connections Corp.’s (“OCC”), main contractor Tuwaiq Communications. This contract was to build three data centers to support OCC’s FTTH (Fiber to the Home) Network. It was signed in April 2008 and put on hold soon after because of OCC’s financial and legal troubles. The Saudi Arabian Telecom Agency has cancelled OCC’s license and our contract will be cancelled as well. Sysorex Arabia will need to determine whether or not it will pursue legal recourse. Therefore, Sysorex Arabia is currently without business and is seeking new contracts. Sysorex Arabia also has aging liabilities due to vendors, employees, social insurance payments, and partners amounting to approximately $2.7 million. This has been a result primarily of the OCC Data Center project as revenue and cash-flow projections did not materialize because of the delays.  Sysorex Arabia is working with local suppliers on payment plans.

Included in Sysorex Arabia’s liabilities is a judgment in the amount of $800,000 for non-performance by Sysorex’s shareholder.  That amount has been paid by the shareholder and Sysorex Arabia is waiting for the Saudi Courts to remove this judgment and release it from any claims. Sysorex Arabia has taken on several loans to finance the losses to date and to pay some liabilities.  In the event that any unsatisfied claims are made against the Company, this could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition if not resolved satisfactorily, as Sysorex Arabia would not be expected to satisfy its liabilities.

Our international business exposes us to geo-political and economic factors, regulatory requirements and other risks associated with doing business in foreign countries .

Our foreign operations pose complex management, foreign currency, legal, tax and economic risks, which we may not adequately address. We have foreign operations in the Middle East and expect to do business in South Asia.  These risks differ from and potentially may be greater than those associated with our domestic business.

Our international business is sensitive to changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers and geo-political uncertainties, which may be driven by changes in threat environments and potentially volatile worldwide economic conditions, various regional and local economic and political factors, risks and uncertainties, as well as U.S. foreign policy. Our international sales are subject to U.S. laws, regulations and policies, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (see below) and other export laws and regulations. Due to the nature of our products, we must first obtain licenses and authorizations from various U.S. Government agencies before we are permitted to sell our products outside of the U.S. We can give no assurance that we will continue to be successful in obtaining the necessary licenses or authorizations or that certain sales will not be prevented or delayed. Any significant impairment of our ability to sell products outside of the U.S. could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

Our international sales are also subject to local government laws, regulations and procurement policies and practices which may differ from U.S. Government regulations, including regulations relating to import-export control, investments, exchange controls and repatriation of earnings, as well as to varying currency, geo-political and economic risks. Our international contracts may include industrial cooperation agreements requiring specific in-country purchases, manufacturing agreements or financial support obligations, known as offset obligations, and provide for penalties if we fail to meet such requirements. Our international contracts may also be subject to termination at the customer’s convenience or for default based on performance, and may be subject to funding risks. We also are exposed to risks associated with using foreign representatives and consultants for international sales and operations and teaming with international subcontractors, partners and suppliers in connection with international programs.  As a result of these factors, we could experience award and funding delays on international programs and could incur losses on such programs, which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

We are also subject to a number of other risks including:

 

	·	the absence in some jurisdictions of effective laws to protect our intellectual property rights;
	·	multiple and possibly overlapping and conflicting tax laws;
	·	restrictions on movement of cash;
	·	the burdens of complying with a variety of national and local laws;
	·	political instability;
	·	currency fluctuations;
	·	longer payment cycles;
	·	restrictions on the import and export of certain technologies;
	·	price controls or restrictions on exchange of foreign currencies; and
	·	trade barriers.

 

Our international operations are subject to special U.S. government laws and regulations, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and regulations and procurement policies and practices, including regulations to import-export control, which may expose us to liability or impair our ability to compete in international markets.

Our international operations are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. and other business entities for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations and deal with governmental customers in countries known to experience corruption, including certain countries in the Middle East and in the future, the Far East. Our activities in these countries create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees, consultants or contractors that could be in violation of various laws including the FCPA, even though these parties are not always subject to our control. We are also subject to import-export control regulations restricting the use and dissemination of information classified for national security purposes and the export of certain products, services, and technical data, including requirements regarding any applicable licensing of our employees involved in such work.

As a U.S. defense contractor we are vulnerable to security threats and other disruptions that could negatively impact our business.

As a U.S. defense contractor, we face certain security threats, including threats to our information technology infrastructure, attempts to gain access to our proprietary or classified information, and threats to physical security. These types of events could disrupt our operations, require significant management attention and resources, and could negatively impact our reputation among our customers and the public, which could have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.  We are continuously exposed to cyber-attacks and other security threats, including physical break-ins. Any electronic or physical break-in or other security breach or compromise may jeopardize security of information stored or transmitted through our information technology systems and networks. This could lead to disruptions in mission-critical systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data. Although we have implemented policies, procedures and controls to protect against, detect and mitigate these threats, we face advanced and persistent attacks on our information systems and attempts by others to gain unauthorized access to our information technology systems are becoming more sophisticated. These attempts include covertly introducing malware to our computers and networks and impersonating authorized users, among others, and may be perpetrated by well-funded organized crime or state sponsored efforts. We seek to detect and investigate all security incidents and to prevent their occurrence or recurrence. We continue to invest in and improve our threat protection, detection and mitigation policies, procedures and controls. In addition, we work with other companies in the industry and government participants on increased awareness and enhanced protections against cyber security threats. However, because of the evolving nature and sophistication of these security threats, which can be difficult to detect, there can be no assurance that our policies, procedures and controls have or will detect or prevent any of these threats and we cannot predict the full impact of any such past or future incident. We may experience similar security threats to the information and technology systems that we develop, install or maintain under customer contracts. Although we work cooperatively with our customers and other business partners to seek to minimize the impacts of cyber and other security threats, we must rely on the safeguards put in place by those entities. Any remedial costs or other liabilities related to cyber or other security threats may not be fully insured or indemnified by other means. Occurrence of any of these security threats could expose us to claims, contract terminations and damages and could adversely affect our reputation, ability to work on sensitive U.S. Government contracts, business operations and financial results.

Difficult conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations, and we do not expect these conditions to improve in the near future.

Our results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally, both in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world.  Weak economic conditions generally, sustained uncertainty about global economic conditions, concerns about future U.S. government budget impasses or a prolonged or further tightening of credit markets could cause our customers and potential customers to postpone or reduce spending on technology products or services or put downward pressure on prices, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows.  Concerns over inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues and the availability of credit, in the U.S. have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and the markets going forward. These factors, combined with volatile oil prices and wavering business and consumer confidence, have precipitated an economic slowdown and a global recession. Domestic and international equity markets have been experiencing heightened volatility and turmoil. These events and the continuing market upheavals may have an adverse effect on our business. In the event of extreme prolonged market events, such as the global economic recovery, we could incur significant losses.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

We are eligible to be treated as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which we refer to as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (2) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus and our periodic reports and proxy statements and (3) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, as an emerging growth company, we are only required to provide two years of audited financial statements and two years of selected financial data in this prospectus. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of any June 30 before that time or if we have total annual gross revenue of $1.0 billion or more during any fiscal year before that time, in which cases we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31 or, if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during any three-year period before that time, we would cease to be an emerging growth company immediately. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company” which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until the later of our second annual report or the first annual report required to be filed with the Commission following the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. We cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls in the future.

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Our directors and executive officers beneficially own a significant number of shares of our common stock. Their interests may conflict with our outside stockholders, who may be unable to influence management and exercise control over our business .

As of the date of this prospectus, our executive officers and directors beneficially own approximately 43% of our shares of common stock.  As a result, our executive officers and directors may be able to:  elect or defeat the election of our directors, amend or prevent amendment to our articles of incorporation or bylaws, effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction, and control the outcome of any other matter submitted to the shareholders for vote. Accordingly, our outside stockholders may be unable to influence management and exercise control over our business.

 

We do not intend to pay cash dividends to our stockholders, so it is unlikely that stockholders will receive any return on their investment in our Company prior to selling stock in the Company.

We have never paid any dividends to our common stockholders as a public company. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth and, therefore, do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. If we determine that we will pay cash dividends to the holders of our common stock, we cannot assure that such cash dividends will be paid on a timely basis. The success of your investment in the Company will likely depend entirely upon any future appreciation.  As a result, you will not receive any return on your investment prior to selling your shares in our Company and, for the other reasons discussed in this “Risk Factors” section, you may not receive any return on your investment even when you sell your shares in our Company.

Anti-Takeover, Limited Liability and Indemnification Provisions

Some provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may deter takeover attempts, which may inhibit a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and limit the opportunity of our stockholders to sell their shares at a favorable price.

Under our articles of incorporation, our Board of Directors may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock.  Our Board of Directors has the ability to authorize “blank check” preferred stock without future shareholder approval. This makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, including a transaction in which our stockholders would receive a premium over the market price for their shares and/or any other transaction that might otherwise be deemed to be in their best interests, and thereby protects the continuity of our management and limits an investor’s opportunity to profit by their investment in the Company.  Specifically, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board of Directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, shares could be issued by our Board of Directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover by:

 

	·	diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group,
	·	putting a substantial voting bloc in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the incumbent Board of Directors, or
	·	effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover.

Nevada Anti-Takeover Law may discourage acquirers and eliminate a potentially beneficial sale for our stockholders.

We are subject to the provisions of Section 78.438 of the Nevada Revised Statutes concerning corporate takeovers.  This section prevents many Nevada corporations from engaging in a business combination with any interested stockholder, under specified circumstances. For these purposes, a business combination includes a merger or sale of more than 5% of our assets, and an interested stockholder includes a stockholder who owns 10% or more of our outstanding voting stock, as well as affiliates and associates of these persons.  Under these provisions, this type of business combination is prohibited for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder unless:

 

	·	the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder is approved by the Board of Directors prior to the date the interested stockholder attained that status;
	·	on consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder’s becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 90% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction was commenced, excluding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers; or
	·	on or subsequent to that date, the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

This statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us.

Our indemnification of our officers and directors may cause us to use corporate resources to the detriment of our stockholders.

Our articles of incorporation eliminate the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.  This limitation does not affect the availability of equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief or rescission.  Our articles of incorporation require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Nevada law.

Under Nevada law, we may indemnify our directors or officers or other persons who were, are or are threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was our director, officer, employee or agent, if we determine that the person:

 

	·	conducted himself or herself in good faith, reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity as our director or officer, that his or her conduct was in our best interests, and, in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to our best interests; and
	·	in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

These persons may be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, including excise taxes, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding.  If the person is found liable to the corporation, no indemnification will be made unless the court in which the action was brought determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity in an amount that the court will establish.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the above provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

The obligations associated with being a public company require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from our business operations.

Following consummation of our initial public offering, we became subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements, and other information. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.  Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are required to certify that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. We will need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other financial personnel in order to enhance appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures.  As a result, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. Furthermore, the need to establish the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company may divert management’s attention from implementing our growth strategy, which could prevent us from improving our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have made, and will continue to make, changes to our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and accounting systems to meet our reporting obligations as a public company. However, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as a public company. In addition, we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur in order to comply with these requirements. We anticipate that these costs will materially increase our selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  In connection with the implementation of the necessary procedures and practices related to internal control over financial reporting, we may identify deficiencies.  If we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, then we may not be able to obtain the independent registered public accountants' certifications required by that act, which may preclude us from keeping our filings with the SEC current, and interfere with the ability of investors to trade our securities and our shares to continue to be listed on the Nasdaq stock market.

 

If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud.  Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud.  If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed.  With each prospective acquisition we may make we will conduct whatever due diligence is necessary or prudent to assure us that the acquisition target can comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Notwithstanding our diligence, certain internal controls deficiencies may not be detected.  As a result, any internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and access to capital.  We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical undiscovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement.

Risks Related to our Securities

Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, these rules and regulations increase our compliance costs and make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public company, these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to maintain our director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers, and to maintain insurance at reasonable rates, or at all.

Our stock price may be volatile.

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

 

	·	our ability to execute our business plan and complete prospective acquisitions;
	·	changes in our industry;
	·	competitive pricing pressures;
	·	our ability to obtain working capital financing;
	·	additions or departures of key personnel;
	·	limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;
	·	sales of our common stock (particularly following effectiveness of this registration statement);
	·	operating results that fall below expectations;
	·	regulatory developments;
	·	economic and other external factors;
	·	period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results;
	·	our inability to develop or acquire new or needed technologies;
	·	the public’s response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including filings with the SEC;
	·	changes in financial estimates or ratings by any securities analysts who follow our common stock, our failure to meet these estimates or failure of those analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our common stock;
	·	the development and sustainability of an active trading market for our common stock; and
	·	any future sales of our common stock by our officers, directors and significant stockholders.

 

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Our shares of common stock are thinly traded, the price may not reflect our value, and there can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future.

Our shares of common stock are thinly traded, our common stock is available to be traded and is held by a small number of holders, and the price may not reflect our actual or perceived value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our operating business, among other things.  We will take certain steps including utilizing investor awareness campaigns, investor relations firms, press releases, road shows and conferences to increase awareness of our business. Any steps that we might take to bring us to the awareness of investors may require that we compensate consultants with cash and/or stock. There can be no assurance that there will be any awareness generated or the results of any efforts will result in any impact on our trading volume. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business, and trading may be at an inflated price relative to the performance of the Company due to, among other things, the availability of sellers of our shares. If an active market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Because there is currently a relatively low per-share price for our common stock, many brokerage firms or clearing firms are not willing to effect transactions in the securities or accept our shares for deposit in an account. Many lending institutions will not permit the use of low priced shares of common stock as collateral for any loans.

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, including shares issuable upon the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to this prospectus, upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144, or shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and, in anticipation of which, the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

In general, a non-affiliated person who has held restricted shares for a period of six months, under Rule 144, may sell into the market our common stock all of their shares, subject to the Company being current in its periodic reports filed with the SEC.  As of August 20, 2014, approximately 5,725,892 shares of common stock of the 19,630,339 shares issued and outstanding were free trading. In our case an affiliate of the Company may sell an amount equal to the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares or the average weekly number of our shares sold in the last four weeks prior to such sale.  Such sales may be repeated once every three months, and any of the restricted shares may be sold by a non-affiliate without any restriction after they have been held one year.

 

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market by the selling stockholders, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional shares.  As of August 27, 2014 we had approximately 19,630,339 shares of common stock outstanding (assuming none of our outstanding warrants are exercised).  Upon effectiveness of the registration statement relating to this prospectus, up to 5,768,470 shares of common stock held by the selling stockholders will become freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), except for any shares of our common stock that may be held or acquired by our directors, executive officers and other affiliates, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, which will be restricted securities under the Securities Act. Restricted securities may not be sold in the public market unless the sale is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available.

 

In addition, as of June 30, 2014, there were   411,262   shares subject to outstanding warrants, 2,578,658 shares subject to outstanding options (including 625,000 outside of our plan) and an additional 680,842 shares (as amended) reserved for future issuance under our Amended and Restated 2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan that will become, or have already become, eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by any applicable vesting requirements, the lock-up agreements and Rules 144 and 701 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Forward Looking Statements

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Federal Securities laws.  These statements relate to future events or future predictions, including those relating to our future financial performance, and are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, our future performance, our beliefs and management’s assumptions.  They are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “feel,” “confident,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,”  ”forecast,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms or other variations on these words or comparable terminology.  These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks described under “Risk Factors” that may cause the Company’s or its industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  In addition to the risks described in these Risk Factors, important factors to consider and evaluate in such forward-looking statements include: (i) general economic conditions and changes in the external competitive market factors which might impact the Company’s results of operations; (ii) unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements including those created by the failure of the Company to adequately anticipate the costs associated with acquisitions and other critical activities; (iii) changes in the Company’s corporate strategy or an inability to execute its strategy due to unanticipated changes; and (iv) the failure of the Company to complete any or all of the transactions described herein on the terms currently contemplated.  In light of these risks and uncertainties, many of which are described in greater detail elsewhere in this Risk Factors discussion, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus will in fact transpire.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.  We do not undertake any duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to conform such statements to actual results or changes in our expectations.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, permits an “emerging growth company” such as ours to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We are choosing to “opt out” of this provision and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards as required when they are adopted. This decision to opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act is irrevocable.

USE OF PROCEEDS

This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. We will receive no proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders in this offering. The proceeds from the sales will belong to the selling stockholders.

If Bridge Bank exercises these warrants, we will receive the proceeds of the warrant exercise of up to $210,000, which shall be used for general corporate purposes. Any proceeds received by Bridge Bank in the resale of the underlying shares of common stock will belong to Bridge Bank.
