PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our historical financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. In this prospectus, unless otherwise noted, the terms “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Sysorex Global Holdings Corp., and its subsidiaries, Sysorex Federal, Inc., Sysorex Government Services Inc., Sysorex Arabia LLC, Lilien Systems, and Shoom, Inc.


The Company


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 Sysorex’ customer base was 100% public sector but that has changed significantly with the acquisitions we have made in 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 shares of common stock and $3 million in cash from debt financing. Subsequently, 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, in consideration of a combination of 2,762,000 shares of common stock and $2.5 million in cash. The cash portion was funded by the excess working capital we obtained from the Shoom acquisition. Finally, as of August 30, 2013, we signed a non-binding Letter of Interest with a potential acquisition candidate for which we are currently performing due diligence in connection with that entity.  

The acquisitions of Lilien and Shoom 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 acquisitions of Lilien and Shoom also provide 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 future.  We have a small operating unit in Saudi Arabia and we intend to seek government contracts there.  This unit does not represent a significant portion of our business and a failure to obtain contracts from the Saudi Arabian government 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 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 on-going budget impasse, sequestration and currently the government shut down can impact our business with the federal government. However, our government contracts are less than 10% of our total revenues. Specifically, the current shutdown 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. We currently expect the federal government shut down will be short-lived and without a material impact to our business.  The budget impasse and sequestration are longer-term issues that we believe will have a minimal impact on our business because we are focused on cyber security and big data analytics, which we believe will continue to receive funding. 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 and recent high profile events, such as NSA information leaks by Edward Snowden and LexisNexis information leaks such as 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.

Lilien’s revenues are typically driven by purchase orders that are captured every month and Lilien does not typically have long-term contracts. However, Lilien does have a 29-year history and track record with a management team that we expect will continue to successfully generate and grow this business. Lilien also has a high repeat customer rate of approximately 60% annually and approximately 25% of their revenues are recurring. 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 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 MarketsandMarkets April 2, 2013.)  Shoom has been in business for over 10 years and providing its cloud solutions for over 4 years.

The Lilien Acquisition significantly impacted our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as indicated in the discussion below. The results show a net loss which was attributable, in part, to certain one-time non-recurring charges related to the Lilien Acquisition, resulting in the Company incurring significant legal, accounting, due diligence, financing and general and administrative expenses as compared to the expenses incurred in comparable period in 2012.

We believe the accretive impact of our acquisition strategy is becoming evident and the quarter ended June 30, 2013 included a full quarter of Lilien’s revenues. We anticipate synergies and operational efficiencies to improve revenues and profitability 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 growing, as the U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract is expected to start releasing task orders in Q3 2013 and other awards are expected later in the same quarter, assuming that funding is available. With the addition of Shoom we believe that our liquidity will improve significantly as Shoom’s business model generates 90% 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.

Corporate Strategy

Sysorex management has a mergers and acquisitions strategy to acquire companies and innovative technologies servicing the multi-billion dollar IT services industry.  We have targeted services and technology/IP based companies since they add significant value to the Company and allow us to command a higher sales price should there be a sale or a spinoff. 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/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 profitable, 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. For example, when we acquire a company that primarily specializes in BYOD cyber security, we will be in position to market this solution to both Sysorex’s public sector government clients and Lilien’s private sector clients.

Another important criteria 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 (RFPs).  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 2013 with approximately 3.9% growth rate over the next five years (Source: Gartner, Inc.  March 28, 2013 press release).  The automatic sequestration that has mandated sudden cuts in United States government spending and the current budget impass and U.S. Government shutdown have offset anticipated gains. Although European economies appear less volatile, intermittent sovereign debt issues (e.g., Cyprus) have also served to reduce the level of IT spending (Source: All Things D Article, “Gartner Raises 2013 IT Spending Forecasts to $3.8 Trillion,” by Arik Hesseldahl, March 28, 2013).

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. Our subsidiaries maintain offices in Herndon, VA, Larkspur CA, Encino, CA and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.  Our Internet website is wwwsysorex.com.  The information on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this prospectus, and you should not rely on any such information in making the decision whether to purchase our common stock.

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 Relating to Sysorex’s Business and Industry

We depend on the U.S. Government for a substantial portion of our business and the current government shutdown and budget impasse 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 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 21 st 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.


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 are being implemented beginning in the current 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. In light of the current U.S. Government shutdown and budget impass over raising the debt ceiling, we are not able to predict the impact of 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.


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 and profitability.


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 the Company.




7





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.


Our 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 financial performance.


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 for its 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.


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; 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.




8





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 are recompeted. 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 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 use estimates in recognizing revenues and if we make changes to estimates used in recognizing revenues, our profitability may be adversely affected.


Revenues from our contracts are primarily recognized using the percentage-of-completion method or on the basis of partial performance towards completion. These methodologies require estimates of total costs at completion, fees earned on the contract, or both. This estimation process, particularly due to the technical nature of the services performed and the long-term nature of certain contracts is complex and involves significant judgment. Adjustments to original estimates are often required as work progresses, experience is gained and additional information becomes known, even though the scope of the work required under the contract may not change. Any adjustment as a result of a change in estimate is recognized as events become known. Changes in the underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates could result in adjustments that may adversely affect our future financial 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.


Historical liabilities may adversely affect the Company.


Sysorex has been operating since 2002. During our past history, the Company has had its share of financial and operational issues. In the United States the Company suffered from an under-performing sales team; losses in operations; lack of proper working capital; protests on lost contract bids; supplier liabilities; etc. Sysorex Government Services has worked through most of these issues and has become profitable once again.  Sysorex Federal no longer has any contracts and we are attempting to negotiate and settle the outstanding liabilities with vendors of approximately $533,000 which are several years old.  This may be adverse to our credit rating and reputation.


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 June 30, 2013, Sysorex Arabia had nominal assets and an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,362,000.  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.  Therefore, Sysorex Arabia is currently without business and is seeking new contracts.  These issues with OCC are still being resolved and could result in the cancellation of the project or OCC could sell its telecom license to a third party and which could cancel the project.  Sysorex Arabia also has aging liabilities due to vendors, employees, social insurance payments, and partners amounting to approximately $2.8 million. This has been a result primarily of the two-year delay in 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. As of June 30, 2013, Sysorex Arabia had minimal cash, approximately $415,000 in contracts receivable, $920,000 in deposits and $58,000 in other assets and inter-company balances and debts. Sysorex Arabia had an accumulated deficit balance of approximately $1,362,000.

Risks Related to Lilien’s Business and Industry


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 Lilien’s products and services, 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 from Lilien’s existing clients 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.


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 may be required to reduce the prices for its products and services to remain competitive, which could adversely affect our profitability and financial condition.


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.


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.


Lilien’s profitability 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 profit margin and our profitability could suffer.


11





Lilien’s sales are subject to quarterly and seasonal variations that may cause significant fluctuations in our operating results.

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 Lilien’s products and services and have an adverse effect on our future revenues.

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, and we may be unable to achieve increases in our profit margins in the future.

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. Lilien currently has its company data center located in Larkspur, California, which is 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

·

errors by our employees or third-party service providers.


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’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 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


12





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 commitments from its clients, and its clients may terminate their relationships with Lilien or reduce the amount of purchases they make from us.

Our operations depend upon our relationships with our clients. Lilien does not have formal written agreements with many of our clients and to the extent we do, such agreements do not generally restrict our clients from terminating or deciding not to renew our contracts or from cancelling or rescheduling purchases. If clients attempt to introduce unfavorable terms or limit the services and products we provide to them, our revenues could be negatively impacted. In addition, the termination of business by any of our significant clients could have a material adverse effect on our operations. There is no guarantee that we will be able to retain our 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 serves 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.

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 over prior periods 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 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 management believes that its current cash and cash flow from operations should be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Lilien 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 its cash requirements, Lilien may seek additional cash from the parent company. If we are unable to raise the required cash, Lilien’s ability to grow its business and develop or enhance its 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 harm our financial condition.

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.

Risks Related to Consolidated Operations

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

We completed the Lilien Acquisition on March 20, 2013 and the Shoom Acquisition on September 6, 2013.  Therefore, our limited combined operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations and your purchase of our securities.  Therefore, we are subject to the risks inherent in the financing, expenditures, complications and delays inherent in 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 and operating results.”  In addition, while the former members of Lilien and the shareholders of Shoom have indemnified the Company from any undisclosed liabilities there may not be adequate resources to cover such indemnity.  Furthermore, there are risks that Lilien’s and Shoom’s vendors, suppliers and customers may not renew their relationships for which there is no indemnification.  Accordingly, our business and success faces risks from uncertainties faced by 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.

We need the proceeds of this Offering to complete a pending acquisition and execute our business plan which financing may otherwise not be available on reasonable terms or at all.

As of June 30, 2013, we had $640,479 cash on hand.  On March 20, 2013, we entered into a revolving credit line for $5 million from Bridge Bank, N.A. which was increased to $6,750,000 on August 29, 2013.  As of June 30, 2013 $5,013,391 was outstanding and matures on August 27, 2016.  In view of our business plan we require the proceeds of this Offering to execute the same and fund business operations long enough to achieve profitability.  We expect that this Offering will be for approximately 10% to 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.  Future financings through equity investments will also 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. Further, in connection with this Offering, we will incur substantial costs, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs while there is no assurance such offering will be


14





completed.  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.

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

The Lilien and Shoom 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 and Shoom 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.  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 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, 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.


15





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 plan 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. We have allocated approximately $14.5 million of the net proceeds of the offering for strategic acquisitions including one for $10.5 million under a non-binding letter of interest for which the Company’s exclusivity rights expire October 31, 2013 unless extended.  See “Use of Proceeds.”.  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. 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.

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 market position as planned;

·

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.



16





We cannot assure you that we will successfully integrate Lilien and Shoom 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 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 October 1, 2013 the Company owed $5 million under its revolving line of credit and $750,000 under a term loan.  Provisions in our credit facilities and debt instruments impose restrictions or require prior approval on our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability 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;

·

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;

·

restrictions on incurring 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.




17





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 and Shoom 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 a 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.  In addition, our CEO, CFO and other key personnel do not have prior experience in SEC reporting obligations.  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.


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



18





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


A 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.


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.



19




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 2012 net sales. An adverse change in government spending policies (including budget cuts at the federal level resulting from sequestration), 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, 2012, we purchased approximately 52% 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, purchase discounts and vendor partner.  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.


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.


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 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.

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, skepticism about the resolution of U.S. fiscal cliff negotiations and the implementation of resulting agreements, concerns about future scheduled budgetary cuts and that the U.S. government may reach its debt ceiling in 2013, 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, the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. mortgage market, and the real estate market 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, declining business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment, 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 credit crisis, 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 51% 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 certificates 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.



21





We do not intend to pay cash dividends to our stockholders, so you will not receive any return on your investment in our Company prior to selling your interest 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 by-laws 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 certificate of incorporation requires 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.



22





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.


Upon the effective date of this prospectus, we will be 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 with respect to our business and financial condition, proxy statement, 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 will need 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 develop and implement 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 account 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 quoted on the OTC PINK or our ability to list our shares on any national securities exchange.


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 and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price.


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 resale 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 and 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 low price for our shares of 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



24





loans.  Furthermore, our securities are currently traded on the OTC Pink where it is more difficult (1) to obtain accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about these companies, and (3) to obtain needed capital.


Our common stock may be deemed a “penny stock,” which would make it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.


Our common stock is currently subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act.   However, it is a condition to the Offering that our securities be listed for trading on a national securities exchange. The penny stock rules generally apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or another national securities exchange and trades at less than $4.00 per share, other than companies that have had average revenues of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible net worth of at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in these securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.


If you purchase shares of our common stock in this Offering, you will experience substantial and immediate dilution.


If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will experience substantial and immediate dilution in the adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this Offering of $4.66 per share as of June 30, 2013, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $5.00 per share, because the price that you pay will be substantially greater that the net book value per share of the common stock that you acquire.  This dilution is due in large part to the fact that our earlier investors paid substantially less than the initial public offering price when they purchased their shares of our capital stock, and if the Underwriter exercises the over-allotment option or any of our outstanding options or warrants are exercised, you will incur further dilution.  See “Dilution.”


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 this registration statement, 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 October 1, 2013, approximately 3,916,000 shares of common stock of the 28,091,305 shares issued and outstanding were free trading and all but approximately 2,900,000 had been held for more than six months.  An affiliate may sell an amount equal to the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares or, if listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange, the average weekly number of 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 after this Offering, 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.  Upon completion of this Offering, we will have approximately 32,091,305 shares of common stock outstanding (assuming none of our outstanding warrants are exercised).  All of the 4,000,000 shares of common stock (or 4,600,000 shares if the Underwriter exercises in full its over-allotment option to purchase additional shares) sold in this Offering will be 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.


We and each of our officers, directors and stockholders owning 2% or more of our common stock have agreed. subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any of the shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our common stock for a period of 180 days following the date of this prospectus, without the prior written consent of Wellington Shields & Co.  However, Geoffrey Lilien, CEO of  Lilien and a director of the Company is a Selling Stockholder in this Offering and is selling $1 million of the shares offered hereby.



25





In addition, as of October 1, 2013, there were 1,010,023 shares subject to outstanding warrants, 3,157,500 shares subject to outstanding options and an additional 1,292,500 shares reserved for future issuance under our 2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan that will 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.  Moreover, after this Offering, holders of an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of common stock held by the former Lilien members and 2,762,000 shares by the Shoom shareholders may not be sold for 180 days from the date of this prospectus.  However, they will have rights, subject to some conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares of to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other stockholders.  If such holders, by exercising their registration rights, cause a large numbers of securities to be registered and sold into the public market, these sales could have an adverse effect on the market price for our common stock.  See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale - Rule 144”.


Because we became public by means of a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.


There may be risks associated with us becoming public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will, in the future, want to conduct any offerings on behalf of our Company.


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 events or predictions 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 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.  Moreover, neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such statements.  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 us 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.



26





USE OF PROCEEDS


We estimate that the net proceeds to the Company from the sale of common stock that we are offering will be approximately $17,090,000 after deducting the underwriter’s fee and estimated offering expenses that we must pay, assuming (i) an initial public offering price of $5.00 per share,  and (ii) that the Underwriter does not exercise its over-allotment option.


We intend to use such net proceeds for the following purposes:


·

Approximately $10.5 million to acquire a developer of mobile device identification and locating systems, including $500,000 allocated for fees and expenses incurred and to be incurred in connection with said acquisition.  See “Business - Pending Letter of Interest.”

·

Approximately $2.0 million to hire sales and marketing personnel for our Sysorex and Lilien subsidiaries and to expand our Washington, D.C. office for Sysorex Government Services.  See “Business - Sales and Marketing; and Properties.”

·

Approximately $4.0 million to fund in whole or in part, strategic acquisitions for which we currently do not have any agreements or understandings.  See “Business - Corporate Strategy.”

·

The remaining net proceeds will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.


The allocation of net proceeds to the Company from this Offering set forth above represents the Company’s current intentions.  This allocation is based upon our present plans, and certain assumptions regarding current economic and industry conditions and the Company’s future prospects.  The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including market conditions, results from our research and development efforts, business developments and opportunities and related rate of growth, sales and marketing activities and competition.  Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds from this Offering.  We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the proceeds from this Offering for other purposes.  From time to time, we evaluate these purposes and other factors and we anticipate continuing to make such evaluations to determine if the existing allocation of resources, including the proceeds of this Offering, is being optimized.

DILUTION


As of June 30, 2013, the Company had a pro forma net tangible deficit of approximately ($7,293,966) or ($0.29) per share of Common Stock.  Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the Company’s total tangible assets less its total liabilities, divided by the aggregate 25,176,697 number of shares of common stock outstanding.  After giving effect to the sale of the 3,800,000 shares of common stock offered hereby by the Company (at an assumed initial public offering price of $5.00 per share and after deducting the estimated offering expenses of $200,000 payable by the Company) and the receipt of the proceeds therefrom, the Company’s pro forma net tangible book value at June 30, 2013 would have been approximately $9,796,034 or $0.34 per share based on 28,976,697 shares issued and outstanding.  This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value per share of $0.63 to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $4.66 per share to the investors purchasing the shares of common stock offered hereby.  The following table illustrates this dilution per share:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION


The follow discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this prospectus.  In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward looking statements based upon current expectations that re subject to risks and uncertainties.  Actual results may differ substantially from those referred to herein due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.

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, Sysorex’ customer base was 100% public sector, however, that has changed significantly with the acquisitions we have made in 2013. Currently, approximately 90% of the revenues we earn are from commercial enterprises and approximately only 10% only 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 shares of common stock and $3 million in cash from debt financing. Subsequently, 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, in consideration of a combination of 2,762,000 shares of common stock and $2.5 million in cash. The cash portion was funded by the excess working capital we obtained from the Shoom acquisition. Finally, as of August 30, 2013, we signed a non-binding Letter of Interest with a potential acquisition candidate with which we are currently performing due diligence, an audit and negotiating a definitive purchase agreement.

The acquisitions of Lilien and Shoom 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 acquisitions of Lilien and Shoom also provide 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 intend to seek government contracts there. This unit does not represent a significant portion of our business and a failure to obtain contracts from the Saudi Arabian government 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 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 on-going budget impasse, sequestration and the current government shutdown can impact our business with the Federal government. However, our government contracts are less than 10% of our total revenues. Specifically, the current shutdown 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. We currently expect the federal government shutdown will be short-lived and without a material impact to our business. The budget impasse and sequestration are longer-term issues that we believe will have a minimal impact on our business, because we are focused on cyber security and Big Data analytics, which we believe will continue to receive funding. 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 and recent high profile events, such as NSA information leaks by Edward Snowden and LexisNexis information leaks such as 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 are expected to be accretive.


31





Lilien’s revenues are typically driven by purchase orders that are received on a monthly basis and Lilien does not typically have long-term contracts. However, Lilien does have a 29-year history and track record with a senior management team that we expect will continue to successfully generate and grow this business. Lilien also has a high repeat customer rate of approximately 60% annually and approximately 25% of their revenues are recurring. Lilien’s revenues are diversified over hundreds of customers and no one customer exceeds 15% of its revenues. Management believes 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 MarketsandMarkets April 2, 2013.) Shoom has been in business for over 10 years and has been providing its Cloud solutions for over 4 years.

The Lilien Acquisition significantly impacted our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as indicated in the discussion below. The results show a net loss which was attributable, in part, to certain one-time non-recurring charges related to the Lilien Acquisition, resulting in the Company incurring significant legal, accounting, due diligence, financing and general and administrative expenses as compared to the expenses incurred in comparable period in 2012.

We believe the accretive impact of our acquisition strategy is becoming evident as the quarter ended June 30, 2013 included a full quarter of Lilien’s revenues. We anticipate synergies and operational efficiencies to improve revenues and profitability 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 growing, as the U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract is expected to start releasing significant task orders in Q4 2013 and other awards are expected later in the same quarter, assuming that funding is available in view of the budget impasse. With the addition of Shoom we believe that our liquidity will improve significantly as Shoom’s business model generates 90% 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.

JOBS Act

Pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.  We have irrevocably elected to opt out 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.

Critical Accounting Policies


Our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013 and for the year and the six months then ended, respectively, were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts, giving due consideration to materiality.  The Company's complete accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.  We believe that the following accounting policies are particularly important to understanding our results of operations and financial position:


·

The valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired from Lilien, as well as the valuation of the Company's common shares issued in that transaction;

·

Revenue recognition;

·

The valuation of stock-based compensation;

·

The allowance for doubtful accounts; and

·

The valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset.

Results Of Operations - For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared To The Six Months Ended June 30, 2012


Revenues


Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $20,150,000 compared to $2,162,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  This increase of $17,988,000 was primarily attributable to the Lilien Acquisition effective March 1, 2013 and the inclusion of Lilien's revenues of $17,837,000 from the effective date of the acquisition.  Revenues of $2,313,000 related to the historical Sysorex business were essentially unchanged.  However, we expect historical Sysorex business revenues to increase in 2014 as award decisions are made in connection with several outstanding proposals and our U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract releases task orders in the fourth quarter of 2013 and first quarter of 2014, although it is not currently possible to quantify the value of the contract to Sysorex. We also expect an increase in revenue as a result of introductions to the acquired companies’ customers, along with a general increase in the number of proposal opportunities.


Costs of Revenues


Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $15,696,000 compared to $1,154,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  This increase of $14,542,000 was primarily attributable to the Lilien Acquisition effective March 1, 2013 and the inclusion of Lilien's cost of revenues of $14,454,000 from the effective date of the acquisition.  Costs of revenues of $1,242,000 related to the historical Sysorex business were essentially unchanged.  However, we expect historical Sysorex business cost of revenues to increase during the balance of this year as award decisions are made in connection with several outstanding proposals and our U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract is expected to release a large number of task orders during the fourth quarter of 2013. The gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 22.1% compared to 46.6% for the comparable period in the prior year as the six months ended June 30, 2013 included Lilien revenues for the months of March through June 2013 which have lower gross profit margins than the Sysorex service revenues. Lilien’s gross margin for the six months ended June 2013 was 19% and Sysorex’s historical business gross margin was 46% for the same period.


Operating Expenses


Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $5,847,000 compared to $1,097,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  This increase of $4,750,000 was primarily attributable to the Lilien Acquisition effective March 1, 2013 and the inclusion of Lilien's operating expenses of $3,137,000 from the effective date of the acquisition.  Operating expenses related to the historical Sysorex business for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $2,710,000 compared to $1,097,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  This increase of $1,613,000 consisted primarily of one-time non-recurring charges of $908,000 related to the acquisition of Lilien and consisted of legal, accounting, due diligence, and financing expenses, $256,000 for the amortization of the Lilien intangibles, $140,000 of legal, accounting and professional fees related to other potential acquisitions and S-1 transaction costs and $127,000 of other non-cash stock based compensation.  Operating expenses will increase for reporting and compliance costs once we are a reporting company with the SEC.


Loss From Operations


Loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $1,392,000 compared to $89,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  This increase of $1,303,000 was primarily attributable to the historical Sysorex business for the six months ended June 30, 2013 which consisted of a loss from operations of $1,638,000 compared to $89,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  This increase of $1,549,000 was attributable primarily to the inclusion of one-time non-recurring charges of $908,000 related to the acquisition of Lilien, $256,000 of amortization, $140,000 of professional fees and $127,000 of stock based compensation as described in the prior paragraph.


Other Expense


Other expense consisted primarily of interest expense and such interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $577,000 compared to $12,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. This increase of $565,000 was attributable to $489,000 of non-cash change in the fair value of derivative liability for warrants issued and $86,000 in fees related to the closing of a prior credit facility and the borrowings under the Bridge Bank revolving line of credit in the amount of $4,200,000.  The majority of those borrowings were used in connection with the acquisition of Lilien for the $3,000,000 cash payment to the seller and the $908,000 in one-time non-recurring charges included in operational expenses discussed above.


Provision for Income Taxes


The was no provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as we were in a net loss position.  Deferred tax assets resulting from such losses are fully reserved as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 since, at present we have no history of taxable income and it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.



33





Net Loss Attributable To Non-Controlling Interest


Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $75,000 compared to $37,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. This increase in net loss of $38,000 was attributable to the increase in the loss of Sysorex Arabia and was not material.


Net Loss Attributable To Stockholders of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp.


Net income/loss attributable to stockholders of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was a loss of $1,894,000 compared to $64,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  This increase of $1,830,000 was attributable to the changes described for the various reporting captions discussed above.  


Non-GAAP Financial information


EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted EBITDA is used by our Company’s management as the matrix in which it manages the business is defined as EBITDA plus adjustments for other income or expense items, non-recurring items and non-cash stock-based compensation.


Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was income of $401,000 compared to a loss of $13,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  Overall, Adjusted EBITDA compares favorably to the net loss attributable to stockholders of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. as described in the following paragraph.


The following table presents a reconciliation of net income/loss attributable to stockholders of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp., which is our GAAP operating performance measure, to Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

* - Included on our statement of operations as a component of other income


We rely on Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure:


·

To review and assess the operating performance of our Company as permitted by SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ;

·

To compare our current operating results with corresponding periods and with the operating results of other companies in our industry;

·

As a basis for allocating resources to various projects;

·

As a measure to evaluate potential economic outcomes of acquisitions, operational alternatives and strategic decisions; and

·

To evaluate internally the performance of our personnel.


We have presented Adjusted EBITDA above because we believe it conveys useful information to investors regarding our operating results. We believe it provides an additional way for investors to view our operations, when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliation to net income (loss), and that by including this information we can provide investors with a more complete understanding of our business. Specifically, we present Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental disclosure because:



34





 

·

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of interest, income taxes, and other non-operating expenses as well as depreciation and amortization which are non-cash expenses;

·

We believe that it is useful to provide to investors with a standard operating metric used by management to evaluate our operating performance; and

·

We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to compare our results to other companies.


Even though we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors, it does have limitations as an analytical tool. Thus, we strongly urge investors not to consider this metric in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) and the other consolidated statement of operations data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include the fact that:


·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;

·

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income or other taxes or the cash requirements to make any tax payments; and

·

Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, thereby potentially limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.


Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of performance in compliance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and providing Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information.


Results Of Operations - For The Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared To The Year Ended December 31, 2011


Revenues


Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $4,238,000 compared to $7,004,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  This decrease of $2,766,000 was attributable to the conclusion of the MODA C4I contract in October 2011.  However, we expect revenues to increase during the balance of 2013 as award decisions are made in connection with several outstanding proposals and our U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract which was awarded in February 2013 is expected to start releasing task orders during the fourth quarter of 2013 and first quarter of 2014.


Costs of Revenues


Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $2,345,000 compared to $4,312,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  This decrease of $1,967,000 was primarily attributable to the conclusion of the MODA C4I contract in October 2011.  However, as indicated above, we expect revenues and therefore, cost of revenues to increase during the balance of this year as award decisions are made in connection with several outstanding proposals and our U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract is expected to release a significant number of task orders during the fourth quarter of 2013.  The gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2012 was 44.7% compared to 38.4% for the comparable period in the prior year as the Sysorex Arabia MODA C4I contract ended in 2011 and the Sysorex U.S. contracts yield higher profit margins.


Operating Expenses


Operating expenses for twelve months ended December 31, 2012 were $2,349,000 compared to $2,740,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  This decrease of $391,000 consisted of: a) decreases of $324,000 and $186,000 in compensation and consulting expenses, respectively, related to the conclusion of the MODA C41 contract in October 2011 as discussed in the preceding paragraphs; b) an increase of $331,000 in professional and legal fees related to the pursuit of the Company acquisition strategy as discussed in the preceding sections; and c) a decrease of $218,000 in other administrative expenses attributable to general cost containment measures.  Operating expenses will increase for reporting and compliance costs once we are a reporting company with the SEC.



35





Loss From Operations


Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $455,000 compared to $48,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  This increase of $407,000 was attributable to the decrease in gross profit of $798,000 related to the conclusion of the MODA C41 contract in October 2011, as discussed in the preceding paragraph, offset by the decrease of $391,000 in operating expenses as also discussed in the preceding paragraphs.


Other Income (Expense)


Other income (expense) for twelve months ended December 31, 2012 was an expense of $329,000, as compared to income of $79,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  This change of $408,000 consisted of: a) a decrease of $110,000 related to a gain on settlement of a vendor liability during 2011 for which there was no comparable amount present during 2012; b) a decrease related to an additional $319,000 interest expense primarily attributable to the debt incurred by us during 2012 to finance operations; and c) an increase of $18,000 related to the change in the fair value of our derivative liability for which there was no comparable amount during 2011.


Provision for Income Taxes


There was no provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2012 as we were in a net loss position.  Deferred tax assets resulting from such losses are fully reserved as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 since, at present we have no history of taxable income and it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.  The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $31,000 represented the income tax provision for the Saudi subsidiary computed under Saudi Arabia’s tax law.


Net Income/Loss Attributable To Non-Controlling Interest


Net income/loss attributable to non-controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2012 was a loss of $91,000 compared to income of $36,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  This change of $127,000 was attributable to the loss incurred at Sysorex Arabia due to the conclusion of the MODA C4I contract in October 2011.


Net Loss Attributable To Stockholders of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp.


Net income/loss attributable to stockholders of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. for the year ended December 31, 2012 was a loss of $694,000 compared to a loss of $36,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  This increase of $658,000 was attributable to the changes described for the various reporting captions discussed above.  


Non-GAAP Financial information


Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2012 was income of $83,000 compared to income of $394,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.  Overall, Adjusted EBITDA compares favorably to the net loss attributable to stockholders of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. as described in the following paragraph.


The following table presents a reconciliation of net income/loss attributable to stockholders of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp., which is our GAAP operating performance measure, to Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

As previously indicated, even though we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors, it does have limitations as an analytical tool. Thus, we strongly urge investors not to consider this metric in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) and the other consolidated statement of operations data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Expenses attributable to transaction costs of $908,000 directly related to the Lilien acquisition and $230,000 related to our ongoing acquisition related activities.

 

11,000

 

Losses attributable to the Lilien operations from March 1, 2013, the effective date of our acquisition of Lilien, through June 30, 2013. As Lilien generated $17,837,000 in revenue during that period, those operating results were effectively break-even for that period. Such results were anticipated as Lilien’s operating results are traditionally stronger during the third and fourth quarters of each year. As these operating results included non-cash charges for amoritzation of intangible assets totaling $256,000, otherwise Lilien’s reported operating results would have been a profit of $245,000.

 

(821,000)

 

Losses attributable to other Company activities primarily consisting of a non-cash charge of $489,000 for the change in the fair value of the derivative liability associated with warrants issued, and a non-cash charge of $275,000 for stock based compensation expense. All other Company activities represented a net loss of $57,000.

$

(1,970,000)

 

Net loss


As previously discussed, Lilien is an information technology company whose operations complement and significantly expand our current base of business and enables us to provide integrated consulting and implementation solutions and services to both government and private organizations in the United States, and potentially in the Middle East and South Asia.  In that light, we expect significant increases in Lilien’s revenues, profits, and cash flows during the balance of 2013. Cash flows related to operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 were, in comparison, minimal and consisted of normal operating activities.


We also expect significant increases in the balance of our business with respect to revenues, profits, and cash flows during the balance of 2013 as the U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract (which we won in February 2013) has begun releasing task orders during the third quarter and we expect to win additional contracts during the balance of the year.


The non-cash expenses of $1,280,000 consisted of:

256,000

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses attributable to the Lilien operations which were acquired effective March 1, 2013.

Investing Activities:


Net cash flows related to investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were a negative approximately $1,891,000 and $4,000, respectively.  The negative cash flows related to the six months ended June 30, 2013 was comprised of a $3,000,000 investment in Lilien offset by $1,112,000 in cash acquired in connection with the Lilien Acquisition.  Cash flows related to investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 were minimal.


Financing Activities:


Net cash flows from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were a positive approximately $4,905,000 and $249,000, respectively. The positive cash flows related to the six months ended June 30, 2013 was comprised primarily of $5,000,000 of advances from a credit facility.  Those funds were primarily utilized for the $3,000,000 investment in Lilien, Lilien acquisition costs of approximately $908,000, and $467,000 of repayments of notes, balances due under other credit arrangements and advances from related parties.   Cash flows related to financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 were, in comparison, minimal and consisted of advances of approximately $397,000 from Duroob Technology, Inc. (“Duroob”). The owners and management of Duroob own slightly less than 50% of our subsidiary operating in Saudi Arabia.  Therefore, Duroob made such advances to the Company to support those operations while we pursued the acquisition and expansion strategy described in the preceding paragraphs.


Liquidity And Capital Resources - General:


Our current capital resources and operating results as of and through June 30, 2013, as described in the preceding paragraphs, consist of:


1)

An overall working capital deficit of $8,889,000;

2)

Cash of $640,000;

3)

A revolving line of credit for up to $5,000,000 with a maturity date of March 15, 2015 that is fully utilized; and

4)

Net cash used in operating activities year-to-date of $2,383,000.


We believe our total working capital deficit of $8,889,000 does not represent a severe impediment to our operations and growth when its principal components are separately identified and analyzed and the growth of our business is taken into account. The breakdown of our overall working capital deficit is as follows:

Accounts receivable exceeds the related accounts payable by $797,000.  We do not believe there are material collectability issues with respect to our accounts receivable.  In accordance with industry practice, payments to major vendors included in our accounts payable are normally extended until the time the collection of the related sale is received. Deferred revenue exceeds the related prepaid contracts by $1,525,000 and other liabilities exceed other assets by $1,873,000.  These deficits are expected to be funded by our anticipated cash flow from operations, as described below, over the next twelve months.  The revolving line of credit principal and accrued interest total $5,013,000, which we believe will not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity in the next twelve months as the principal balance is not due until March 2015, twenty one months from the current balance sheet date of June 30, 2013.  Additionally, as described in the preceding paragraphs, the amount of this credit facility was increased to $6,000,000 in August 2013.



38





Net cash used in operating activities year-to-date of $2,383,000 consists of net cash used in operations of $690,000 (net loss of $1,970,000 less non-cash expenses of $1,280,000) and net cash used of $1,694,000 in changes in operating assets and liabilities. We expect net cash from operations during the period from June 30 to December 31, 2013 to be positive as:


1)

The historical Sysorex business is expected to strengthen as task orders for our Navy SPAWAR contract are expected to start being released in Q4 2013;

2)

The newly acquired Lilien business is historically stronger during the second six months of every year because customer budgets are typically larger in those months;

3)

Lilien complements and significantly expands our current base of business and enables us to provide integrated consulting and implementation solutions and services to both government and private organizations in the United States, and potentially in the Middle East and South Asia.  In that light, we anticipate significant increases in revenues and cash flows during the balance of 2013; and

4)

We concluded the acquisition of Shoom, Inc. (“Shoom”), a company with operations compatible to both Sysorex and Lilien, effective August 31, 2013 through the issuance of shares of Sysorex common stock.  The acquisition provided us with:

 

a)

Positive working capital of approximately $1,641,000 which consisted almost exclusively of cash; and

b)

A business that benefits from high margins and generates approximately $1,000,000 positive cash flow on an annual basis.


Consequently, we expect that our current capital resources as of June 30, 2013, as described in the preceding paragraphs, will be sufficient to fund planned operations during the next twelve months.  We also expect that as our business expands, cash provided from operations will, over time, eliminate our working capital deficit and provide ongoing improvement in our long-term liquidity.


We have been actively pursuing equity financing to provide us with capital necessary to continue pursuing the acquisition and expansion strategy that we launched with the acquisition of Lilien in March 2013 and, if necessary, to provide working capital to our current operations.  Upon the completion of this Offering, we expect to have sufficient funds to continue this acquisition and expansion strategy.  If we are unsuccessful in raising additional capital through this Offering or obtaining alternative financing during 2013, we may have to postpone or abandon our acquisition and expansion plans.  However, if such postponement or abandonment of our acquisition and expansion plans is required, it should have a limited effect on our liquidity or the ongoing operations of Sysorex, Lilien, or Shoom as described above.


Liquidity And Capital Resources - Bridge Bank Financing Agreement


On March 15, 2013 and in connection with and concurrent with our acquisition of Lilien, Sysorex Government Services, Inc. and Lilien Systems, both 100%-owned subsidiaries of Sysorex Global Holdings, Inc., entered into a Business Finance Agreement (the “Agreement”) as co-borrowers (the “Borrowers”) with Bridge Bank, NA (the “Bank”) under which the Borrowers obtained a revolving line of credit for up to $5,000,000 with a maturity date of March 15, 2015.  Terms of this Agreement include compliance with certain debt covenants to include an asset coverage ratio of 1.4 to 1.0, a debt service coverage ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 and performance-to-plan covenants. As of June 30, 2013, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants, however, the Bank did not formally notify the Company of non-compliance.  Effective August 29, 2013 Amendment Number 1 to the Agreement waived those covenants as further described below.  The line of credit matures on March 15, 2015 and incurs interest at the greater of 5.25% or the bank's prime rate, plus 2%.  The interest rate as of June 30, 2013 was 5.25%.


The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sysorex Federal Inc., entered into unconditional guarantees of all indebtedness under the Agreement and granted the Bank a continuing security interest in all assets of the Company and its subsidiary.  The Company and Sysorex Federal pledged to the Bank all of the capital stock of Lilien Systems and Sysorex Federal and Sysorex Government Services, respectively.  Lilien Systems and Sysorex Government Services each entered into an intercreditor subordination agreement subordinating their right of payment to the Bank.


Terms of this Agreement require all cash receipts of Sysorex Government Services, Inc. and Lilien Systems to be remitted to a lockbox for application to the balance due in connection with this Agreement.  Use of this lockbox arrangement has no noteworthy effect upon our liquidity or upon our domestic or international operations. As with any such arrangement, the Bank could limit or suspend drawdowns upon the credit facility in the event of non-compliance with the terms of the Agreement which would have a serious impact upon our liquidity and ability to operate.  However, we constantly communicate with the Bank and enjoy an excellent working relationship.  This Agreement was modified on August 29, 2013 to increase the line of credit available to us as explained below.




39





On March 20, 2013, the Borrowers received $4,175,000 under this Agreement.  Of that amount, $3,000,000 was paid as consideration in connection with the Lilien Acquisition effective March 1, 2013.  The balance of $1,175,000 was primarily utilized for acquisition program related expenses totaling $594,000 and reduction of debt and accrued expenses totaling $467,000.  As of October 1, 2013, the principal amount outstanding under the Agreement was $5,000,000 and an additional $750,000 is outstanding under a term loan.


On August 29, 2013 the Company entered into Amendment 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Agreement dated March 15, 2013 in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Shoom.  Under the Amendment certain sections and terms of the Agreement were amended and existing defaults were waived.  The Amendment waived the asset coverage ratio for April 2013 and the performance-to-plan ratio for June 30, 2013.  The Amendment includes an increase to the credit limit to $6,000,000, the asset coverage ratio was amended to be not at any time less than (i) 1.0 to 1.0, tested as at the end of each month, commencing with the month ended July 31, 2013, and (ii) 1.4 to 1.0, tested as at the end of each month, commencing with the month ending September 30, 2013 and the performance-to-plan covenant was amended to state that the combined revenues and net income are not to deviate by more than 20% or $100,000 from the projections of combined revenues and net income approved by Borrowers’ boards of directors with respect to the rolling three month period ended on the date of determination, tested as at June 30, 2013, September 30, 2013, and the end of each month thereafter, commencing with the month ending October 31, 2013.


Additionally and concurrently with the Amendment  the Company entered into a term loan for $750,000 which accrues interest at the greater of 5.25% or the Bank’s prime rate plus 2% and matures on August 27, 2016.  The Company is obligated to make payments of $41,667 on the first day of each month commencing on February 1, 2014 until the loan amount is paid in full.


The Bank received (i) warrants to purchase 166,667 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $0.45 per share in connection with the Agreement on March 20, 2013, and (ii) warrants to purchase 112,500 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $1.20 per share in connection with the Amendment on August 29, 2013.

BUSINESS

Overview

Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. (“Sysorex” or the “Company”), provides information technology and telecommunications solutions and services to commercial and government customers primarily in the United States, as well as the Middle East and India. We provide a variety of IT services and/or technologies that enable customers to manage, protect and monetize their enterprise assets whether on-premise, in the Cloud, or via mobile.  Sysorex is a systems integration and consulting company and has a wide range of offerings, including, but not limited to: custom application/software design, architecture and development, data center design and operations services, command control, computer communication, intelligence (C4I) system consulting, program management and security solutions and services. Sysorex is currently engaged in an acquisition strategy to add cutting edge technologies and intellectual property that complement its service offerings. The targeted technologies typically include software and/or hardware products providing cyber security, and Big Data/Analytics capabilities on premise, in the Cloud or on a mobile device. Cyber security and Big Data Analytics are expected to be our primary focus going forward.

Effective March 1, 2013, the Company acquired Lilien Systems (“Lilien” and the “Lilien Acquisition”) based in Larkspur, California, an information technology company, which significantly expanded “Lilien’s Systems the Company’s operations in the fields described above. Lilien delivers right-fit information technology solutions that help organizations reach their next level of business advantage. Lilien brings unsurpassed commitment, a highly qualified and educated staff with deep technical expertise, premier technology certifications, key manufacturer partnerships, and business vision to its solutions, enterprise computing and storage, virtualization, business continuity, networking and IT business consulting.  See “Business - The Lilien Acquisition” below.

Effective August 31, 2013, the Company acquired Shoom, Inc. (“Shoom”) based in Encino, California, a leading provider of Cloud based data analytics and enterprise solutions to the media, publishing and entertainment industries. Shoom provides Shoom specializes in providing comprehensive and integrated Internet/intranet based information services and electronic delivery systems to its expanding client base around the world.  Shoom liberates publishers and advertisers from cumbersome legacy and hard-copy systems with software as a service (SaaS) products including eTearSheets, eInvoice, Ad Delivery and ePaper electronic publication solutions while generating critical data analytics for its customers.  The acquisition represents another milestone for the Company, which validates our strategy of acquiring a portfolio of complementary IP/Technology based companies. Shoom expands Sysorex’s depth of enterprise service offerings with powerful Cloud–based solutions. Shoom's customers can now take advantage of Lilien's Big Data expertise and advanced analytics, while Sysorex and Lilien will leverage Shoom's talent pool of expert Cloud solution engineers.  Based on Management’s due diligence investigation of Shoom, the Company expects Shoom to generate approximately $4 million in revenues with 25% net income in 2014 and a 10% annual growth rate thereafter exclusive of the benefits of leveraging synergies with Sysorex.

On August 30, 2013, the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Interest to acquire 100% of the capital stock of a company (“Target”) in the cyber-security space with leading-edge solutions and proprietary intellectual property.  Target develops device locationing, monitoring and management technologies for mobile devices operating on WiFi, cellular and wideband RF networks. The company has two product lines. The first is a mobile security platform that locates devices operating within a monitored area, determines their compliance with network security policies for that zone, and then can modify device apps and/or features — either directly or via leading third party mobile device, application and network management tools. The company’s other product is a commercial platform for enabling location and/or context-based services and information delivery to mobile devices based on zones as small as 10 feet or as long as a square mile. Based on Management’s preliminary due diligence investigation of Target, Target is expected to generate in excess of $10 million in revenue with approximately 30% net income in 2014 with a 50% growth rate expected for at least 2015, although no assurance can be given prior to completion of this Offering and the pending acquisition.  This acquisition is subject to obtaining financing from this Offering, or otherwise, completion of due diligence, negotiation and execution of a definitive purchase agreement, audited financial statements of Target and customary closing conditions, none of which can be assured.  The Company has allocated approximately $10.5 million of the proceeds of this Offering for this acquisition.    See “Use of Proceeds” and Business - Pending Letter of Interest.”

Management intends to accelerate introduction of the acquired technology and products of Lilien and Shoom, as well as any future acquisitions, by offering them through its U.S. Federal government contracts by adding their solutions and services to its GSA schedule and other relevant contract vehicles where Sysorex is the prime contractor. Sysorex expects to leverage Lilien’s sales force and customer base with any future acquisition as and when appropriate.

Corporate Strategy

Sysorex management has a mergers and acquisitions strategy to acquire companies and innovative technologies servicing the multi-billion dollar IT services industry.  We have targeted services and technology/IP based companies since they add significant value to the Company and allow us to command a higher sales price should there be a sale or a spinoff. 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:



41






·

Innovative and commercially proven technologies primarily in cyber-security, business intelligence/analytics, Big Data services, Cloud and mobile/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 profitable, 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. For example, when we acquire a company that primarily specializes in BYOD cyber security, we will be in position to market this solution to both Sysorex’s public sector government clients and Lilien’s private sector clients.

Another important criteria 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 (RFPs).  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 2013 with approximately 3.9% growth rate over the next five years (Source: Gartner, Inc.  March 28, 2013 press release).  The automatic sequestration that has mandated sudden cuts in United States government spending and budget impass have offset anticipated gains. Although European economies appear less volatile, intermittent sovereign debt issues (e.g., Cyprus) have also served to reduce the level of IT spending (Source: All Things D Article, “Gartner Raises 2013 IT Spending Forecasts to $3.8 Trillion,” by Arik Hesseldahl, March 28, 2013).

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).

The Company’s headquarters offices are located at 3375 Scott Boulevard, Suite 440, Santa Clara, California 95054.  Our telephone number is (408) 702-2167.  The Company’s subsidiaries maintain offices in Herndon, VA, Larkspur CA, and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Corporate Structure

Sysorex has four operating subsidiaries:  Sysorex Federal, Inc. (100% ownership) and its wholly owned subsidiary Sysorex Government Services, Inc. based in Herndon, Virginia, which focuses on the U.S. Federal Government market; Lilien Systems (100% ownership) based in Larkspur, California; Shoom, Inc. (100% ownership) based in Encino, California, and Sysorex Arabia LLC (50.2% ownership) based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Sysorex provides shared corporate services across the entities. We believe that the implementation and execution of our corporate strategy will benefit our shareholders and attract investors.

Corporate History

The Company was formed in Nevada in April 1999, under the name Liquidation Bid, Inc.  It changed its name to Softlead, Inc. on September 9, 2003.

On March 2, 2011 by a majority vote of shareholders a special meeting, the Company elected to change its name to Sysorex Global Holdings, Corp.; effect a 1 for 20 reverse split of its stock; and acquired the Sysorex operational businesses. On June 2, 2011, the Company affected a 1 for 20 reverse split and changed its name to Sysorex Global Holdings Corp.  

On July 29, 2011, the Company acquired all of the stock of the U.S. Federal Government business of Sysorex (Sysorex Federal, Inc. and its subsidiary Sysorex Government Services, Inc.) and 50.2% of the stock of the operating unit of Sysorex engaged in Saudi Arabian Government contracts (Sysorex Arabia, LLC). The acquisition was based on a share exchange, with Sysorex shareholders being issued 14,600,000 restricted common shares of the Company in exchange for stock of the three operating entities.

The Company recapitalized itself by amending its Articles of Incorporation on August 3, 2011 and increased its authorized common stock to 30,000,000 common shares, with a par value $0.001 per share. On September 1, 2011, the Board of Directors and the majority shareholders authorized the increase of the authorized shares from 30,000,000 to 40,000,000; however, the filing of the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation was not filed with the State of Nevada until April, 2012.

Sysorex Government Services Contracts

Sysorex Government Services, Inc. enters into various types of contracts with our customers, such as Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Level of Effort (LOE), Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Completion, Cost-reimbursement (CR), Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), Fixed-Price Incentive (FPI) and Time-and-materials (T&M). 

IDIQ contracts provide for an indefinite quantity of services or stated limits of supplies for a fixed period. They are used when the customer cannot determine, above a specified minimum, the precise quantities of supplies or services that the government will require during the contract period. IDIQs help streamline the contract process and speed service delivery. IDIQ contracts are most often used for service contracts and architect-engineering services. Awards are usually for base years and option years. The customer places delivery orders (for supplies) or task orders (for services) against a basic contract for individual requirements. Minimum and maximum quantity limits are specified in the basic contract as either a number of units (for supplies) or as dollar values (for services).

CPFF LOE contracts will be issued when the scope of work is defined in general terms requiring only that the contractor devote a specified LOE for a stated time period.  A CPFF completion contract will be issued when the scope of work defines a definite goal or target which leads to an end product deliverable (e.g., a final report of research accomplishing the goal or target).

CR contracts provide for payment of allowable incurred costs, to the extent prescribed in the contract. These contracts establish an estimate of total cost for the purpose of obligating funds and establishing a ceiling that the contractor may not exceed (except at its own risk) without the approval of the contracting officer  and are suitable for use only when uncertainties involved in contract performance do not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed-price contract.

FFP contract will be issued when acquiring supplies or services on the basis of definite or detailed specifications and fair and reasonable prices can be established at the outset.

FPI target delivery contract will be issued when acquiring supplies or services on the basis of reasonably definite or detailed specifications and cost can be reasonably predicted at the outset wherein the cost risk will be shared. A firm target cost, target profit, and profit adjustment formula will be negotiated to provide a fair and reasonable incentive and a ceiling that provides for the contractor to assume an appropriate share of the risk.

T&M contract provides for acquiring supplies or services on the basis of (1) direct labor hours at specified fixed hourly rates that include wages, overhead, general and administrative expenses, and profit; and (2) actual cost for materials.   A customer may use this contract when it is not possible at the time of placing the contract to estimate accurately the extent or duration of the work or to anticipate costs with any reasonable degree of confidence.

The Lilien Acquisition

The purchase price for Lilien, under the Asset Purchase and Merger Agreement (the “APMA”), effective March 1, 2013 was $9,000,000.  This consisted of the payment of $3,000,000 of cash and the issuance of 6,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of Sysorex deemed to have a fair value of $6,000,000, or $1.00 per share to the members of Lilien, LLC (the “Former Lilien Members”) in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of Lilien Systems, Inc.  The cash consideration of $3,000,000 was obtained by the Company under a credit facility entered into for the purpose of completing the acquisition.  See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” All of the Company’s 6,000,000 shares issued in the Lilien Systems Acquisition (collectively, the “Company Shares”) are subject to Lock-up/Leak-out and Guaranty Agreements. All of the Lilien Systems, Inc. stockholders, including Geoffrey Lilien, who continued as CEO of Lilien, Bret Osborn, President of Lilien and Dhruv Gulati, EVP of Lilien (the “Lilien Stockholders”) cannot sell any of their Company Shares for a six-month period beginning on the effective date of this Offering.  In addition, Geoffrey Lilien can sell up to $1,000,000 in shares in this Offering. The Company contingently guaranteed (the “Guaranty”) to the Former Lilien Members the net sales price of $1.00 per share for a two year period following the closing, provided the Lilien Stockholders are in compliance with the terms and conditions of the lock-up agreement.  At the end of the two year Guaranty period the Former Lilien Members shall have an option to put all, but not less than all, of their unsold Sysorex shares to Sysorex, for the price of $1.00 per unsold share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the gross profit for calendar 2013 and 2014, attributable to the Lilien business is more than 20% below what was forecasted to the Company the Guaranty will be proportionately reduced.

Under the APMA, the Former Lilien Members were entitled to any excess cash above $1,000,000, provided both Lilien’s net worth immediately preceding the closing was greater than $1,000,000 and its net worth less excess cash of at least $1,000,000 was greater than $1,000,000.  As a result of a post-closing adjustment, Lilien’s net worth was less than $1,000,000 and the former Lilien Members refunded $153,000 to the Company, subject to further adjustment.

Upon the completion of the Lilien Acquisition, Geoffrey Lilien, Bret Osborn and Dhruv Gulatui were elected to the Company’s then existing Board of Directors of three persons.  Sysorex and Lilien agreed to mutually elect an independent seventh director, who has not yet been elected.  Sysorex also agreed to nominate Lilien’s three representatives for re-election for two successive annual shareholder meetings except in the event the Company’s securities are listed on a national securities exchange.

Shoom Products and Services

On September 6, 2013, Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. completed the acquisition, effective August 31, 2013, of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Shoom, Inc.  Shoom was founded in 1998 and is based in Encino, California.  Shoom is a leading provider of cloud based data analytics and enterprise solutions to the media, publishing and entertainment industries with over 700 active publications in North America. Shoom specializes in providing comprehensive and integrated Internet/intranet based information services and electronic delivery systems to its expanding client base around the world.  Shoom liberates publishers and advertisers from cumbersome legacy and hard-copy systems with software as a service (SaaS) products including eTearSheets, eInvoice, Ad Delivery and ePaper electronic publication solutions while generating critical data analytics for its customers.  The acquisition validates Sysorex’s strategy of acquiring ( see prior comments) a portfolio of complementary IP/Technology based companies. Shoom expands Sysorex’s depth of enterprise service offerings with powerful Cloud–based solutions.  Shoom's customers can now take advantage of Lilien's Big Data expertise and advanced analytics; Sysorex and Lilien plan to leverage Shoom's talent pool of expert Cloud solution engineers.   Based on Management’s due diligence investigation of Shoom, the Company expects Shoom to generate approximately $4 million in revenues with 25% net income in 2014 and a 10% annual growth rate thereafter exclusive of the benefits of leveraging synergies with Sysorex.  As of October 1, 2013, Shoom has 20 employees and is located at 6345 Balboa Blvd., Suite 247, Encino, CA 91316.

The Shoom Acquisition

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 31, 2013, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sysorex was merged with and into Shoom which continued its existence as a California wholly-owned subsidiary of Sysorex.  Sysorex issued approximately 2,762,000 shares of its common stock to the former shareholders of Shoom, plus their pro rata share of $2,500,000 cash consideration, subject to adjustment based on the Net Worth (as defined in the Agreement of Plan and Merger) of Shoom as of August 31, 2013 compared with $6,038,020, the net worth of Shoom on July 31, 2013.  Of this amount, approximately 500,000 shares of Sysorex common stock, plus approximately $500,000 of the cash consideration is being held in escrow for the benefit of the former Shoom stockholders, pro rata, for one year based on any claim for indemnification, other than tax matters for which there is a seven-year escrow.  All of the Company’s 2,762,000 shares issued in the Shoom Acquisition are restricted and subject to lock-up agreements during which they cannot sell any shares for a six-month period beginning on the effective date of this Offering.  In addition, the


45





Company issued stock options to Shoom employees to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Sysorex common stock.  William Freschi (CEO/CFO), Dan Cole (President/COO), Michael Lynch (Executive VP/GM) and Sharon Ryoji (Senior VP Customer Services) each entered into employment agreements with Shoom upon the completion of the acquisition.  

Pending Letter of Interest

On August 30, 2013, the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Interest to acquire 100% of the capital stock of a company (“Target”) in the Mobile cyber-security space with leading-edge solutions and proprietary intellectual property.  Target develops indoor device locationing, monitoring and management technologies for mobile devices operating on WiFi, cellular and wideband RF networks. The Target has two product lines. The first is a mobile security platform that locates devices operating within a monitored area, determines their compliance with network security policies for that zone, and then can trigger policy modification of device apps and/or features — either directly or via leading third party mobile device, application and network management tools. The Target’s other product is a commercial platform for enabling location and/or context-based services and information delivery to mobile devices based on zones as small as 10 feet or as long as a square mile. The monitored areas may include a building, a campus, a mall, and outdoor regions like a downtown.  Unlike other mobile locationing technologies, Target technologies use passive sensors that work over both cellular and WiFi networks and offer device locationing and zone-based app and information delivery accurate to within 10 feet -- three to five times more precise than the industry standard. Additionally, unlike geo-fencing systems, Target technologies are capable of simultaneously enabling different policies and delivering different apps or information to multiple devices within the same zone based on contexts such as the type of device, the device user and time of day. 

Target’s products and technologies deliver solutions to address an exploding global location-based mobile security and services (LBS) market currently estimated to be more than $12 billion in 2014, growing at a fast rate (Jupiter Research, 2013).  Target has 15 patents pending globally, currently pending in the areas of context-aware policy management, RF detection, cellular monitoring, end node network applications for mobile devices and related technologies.  Customers for the security platforms are big box retailers, healthcare facilities, property managers (malls, shopping centers, etc.), hotels and resorts, gaming operators and government agencies. This platform requires no app installation for anonymous collection of behavioral data such as traffic flow, entry and exit patterns, length of stay and other business intelligence and analytics functions. It also serves as a location-based services, sales and marketing system. In these cases, the security platform connects to third party apps on a user’s mobile device that provide functions such as location-based offers, discounts and suggestive selling, VIP service functions (for hotels, resorts, casinos, etc.), and location-based information delivery such as mobile-based guided tours of historic sites, points of interest and museums, shopping center maps, building floor plans and so on.

Based on Management’s preliminary due diligence investigation of Target, Target is expected to generate in excess of $10 million in revenue with approximately 30% net income in 2014 with a 50% growth rate expected for at least 2015, although no assurance can be given prior to completion of this Offering and the pending acquisition.  This acquisition is subject to obtaining financing from this Offering, or otherwise, completion of due diligence, negotiation and execution of a definitive purchase agreement, audited financial statements of Target and customary closing conditions, none of which can be assumed. The Company has allocated approximately $10.5 million of the proceeds of this Offering for this acquisition.  In addition, there will be stock and earnout components to be paid to Target that will be finalized through the due diligence and definitive purchase agreement negotiation.  See “Use of Proceeds” and “Business - Pending Letter of Interest.”

Target granted the Company a 60 day right of exclusivity commencing August 30, 2013 to complete the acquisition.  If Target breaches the Company’s exclusivity right it must pay the Company a break-up fee of $250,000.  Similarly, if the Company refuses to complete the acquisition without Good Reason (as defined) then any amount Target owes the Company shall be reduced by $250,000.  “Good Reason” means a material breach of the LOI or a subsequent definitive purchase agreement with the Company by Target, a material misrepresentation by Target or any of its representatives at any time (including inaccuracies in the materials provided by Target prior to the LOI), the discovery during due diligence of a material liability affecting Target which had not been disclosed to the Company prior to the entry into the LOI, or the commencement of a material lawsuit against target or its business after the entry into the LOI (including, but not limited to, the loss of a major client or supplier), the discovery that one of Target’s material contracts will not be assignable as a result of the transactions contemplated by the LOI, the commencement of a material lawsuit against Target or notice that such a lawsuit is reasonably imminent, or any governmental investigation into or actions against Target.

In addition, pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated as of August 30, 2012, the Company loaned Target $1 million evidenced by a secured promissory note due March 1, 2014.  The Note bears interest at 8% per annum secured by all assets of Target.  The Note shall accelerate and be due and payable if the proposed acquisition is terminated for any reason before March 1, 2014.  

Market Size  

Worldwide, companies and organizations are expected to spend a combined $3.8 trillion on hardware, software, IT services and telecommunications in 2013 (Source: Gartner, Inc. March 2013 Forecast.) That is $100 billion higher than the last forecast it made in October 2012.


46





The current budget impass and automatic sequestration that has mandated severe cuts in government spending has cast a pall over everything related to the global economy, including IT spending.  Although European economies appear less volatile, intermittent sovereign debt issues (e.g., Cyprus) have also served to reduce the level of IT spending.  (Source: All Things D Article, “Gartner Raises 2013 IT Spending Forecasts to $318 trillion,” by Arik Hesseldahl, March 28, 2013).

Spending on devices — smartphones, tablets and printers — has grown rapidly, and is expected to continue to grow according to Gartner Inc.  Last year, spending on devices was $665 billion globally, and is expected to reach $718 billion this year, or 8 percent more (Source: All Things D Article, “Gartner Raises 2013 IT Spending Forecasts to $318 Trillion,” by Arik Hesseldahl, March 28, 2013).

Spending on enterprise software is running a close second, and is expected to grow this year by more than 6 percent to $297 billion. In this sector, a slowdown in IT operations management software is being offset by growth in spending on database management systems (Source: All Things D Article, “Gartner Raises 2013 IT Spending Forecasts to $318 Trillion,” by Arik Hesseldahl, March 28, 2013).

IT services and data center systems are also expected to grow this year, but a bit more slowly than in the previous forecast. Spending is coming down in the near-term on external storage and in Europe. IT services are subject to intense price competition and redirection of budgets away from new consulting projects (Source: All Things D Article, “Gartner Raises 2013 IT Spending Forecasts to $318 Trillion,” by Arik Hesseldahl, March 28, 2013).

The slowest-growing segment according to Gartner, Inc. is expected to be telecom services, which declined last year. Gartner, Inc. has stated that one television sector will generate approximately $1.7 trillion in revenue, up about 2 percent from last year. Declines in spending on voice are being offset by mobile data (Source: All Things D Article, “Gartner Raises 2013 IT Spending Forecasts to $318 Trillion,” by Arik Hesseldahl, March 28, 2013).

Government IT Services and Solutions Market

The U.S. government spends approximately $80 billion on IT annually.  This spending is expected to continue at a 3% growth rate vs. 6% historically because of the sequester.  (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018.) Security of all forms, especially cyber-security, are significant growth areas (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal Cyber Security Market Forecast 2013-2018 and Sysorex intends to increase its role in this sector.  Sysorex Government Services, Inc. (“SGS”) is servicing U.S. Government customers in both civilian and defense agencies. SGS provides a variety of IT Solutions and services through its various government contract vehicles including our GSA Schedule, SPAWAR, TEIS-III, SITE, and others. SGS serves as a prime and subcontractor depending on the contract. SGS is also well positioned to win Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contracts leveraging the Sysorex Group presence overseas.

With a cumulative market valued at $518 billion (2013–2018), the U.S. Federal IT market is expected to grow steadily – at about 3% CAGR over the period 2013–2018. The projected growth rate of 3% is less than the historical average 6% in the first decade of 21st century, reflecting not only the struggling economy and budget pressures, but also confidence in better performing government IT machine at lower costs. (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018).

Our focus is on deployment of technologies with proven worth in the private sector. 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 experience double digit growth in the period from 2013 to 2018 (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal IT Market Forecast 2013-2018.). 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.)

Despite sequestration, the U.S. government is still expanding its cyber security force.  (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal Cyber Security Market Forecast 2013-2018.).  In our opinion, the Government IT market is expected to continue to grow under the Obama Administration as funds shift from Defense to Civilian Agencies and the Government tries to create jobs and opportunities for businesses like Sysorex.  Many Government agencies continue to struggle with:


·

Standalone applications/technology silos

·

Interoperability issues

·

Information sharing challenges

·

Cyber-security challenges

·

A critical lack of internal IT skills and resources

·

Fast evolving technology is making it difficult for government employees to stay current

·

Government is outsourcing civilian positions under the A-76 Rule



47





 

·

Government cannot successfully attract and maintain required technical staff for critical systems development

·

The on-going war on terrorism, Iraq and Afghanistan and homeland security requirements has forced the Government to expedite critical system deployments. This is expected to continue despite the focused shift to civilian agencies

·

The larger established integrators often move too slowly, miss many smaller critical pilot opportunities and have rigid structures that inhibit innovation.


Sysorex expects to provide a variety of systems integration services to many Government agencies. Many of our target clients have specialized systems that need to be modernized, integrated or connected to the Cloud, all with proper security infrastructure and resulting in efficiencies. Government customers are also looking to create more efficient systems to deploy green IT pursuant to Government guidelines. This could be LEED certification by “greening” federal buildings or simply improving energy utilization from large complex systems by using cutting edge IT and alternative energy technologies.

Cyber Security:

“Federal agencies have spent more on cyber security than the entire GDP of North Korea, who some have speculated is to be involved with some of this cyber-attacks,” said Senator Thomas. L. Carper. “The issue of Cyber Warfare is not science fiction anymore. It’s reality” (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal Cyber Security Market Forecast 2013-2018 .)

The short- to long-term federal cyber security investments is expected to be driven by:


·

an ever-increasing number and severity of cyber-attacks,

·

dramatic expansion in computer interconnectivity and the exponential increase in the data flows and computing power of the government networks;

·

perception of the U.S. adversaries that the United States is dependent on information technology and that this dependency constitutes an exploitable weakness; and

·

developments in the existing cyber security approaches and technologies and emergence of new technologies and approaches.


With a cumulative market valued at $65.5 billion (2013–2018), the U.S. Federal Cyber security market is expected to grow steadily–at about 6.2% CAGR over the next six years (Source: Market Research Media - U.S. Federal Cyber Security Market Forecast 2013-2018).

Cloud Services:

Spending on public Cloud services is expected to increase 20 percent, to $109 billion, from $91 billion in 2011. By 2016, Gartner said, this expenditure could nearly double, to $207 billion (Source: Gartner, Inc. March 2013 Forecast Press Release dated July 9, 2012 “Gartner Says Worldwide IT Spending on Pace to Surpass $3.6 billion in”.)

Big Data/Analytics:

The volume, velocity and variety of big data can be overwhelming to IT organizations and their leaders. Gartner predicts that by 2015, Big Data demand will reach 4.4 million jobs. While this provides many opportunities to collect, manage and deploy data, we believe that a well thought out strategy is needed.  According to a recent Gartner Survey (“Predicts 2013: Information Innovation” and published in “Invest in Information and Analytics to Benefit from Big Data” document dated March 8, 2013), 42% of respondents stated they had invested in Big Data technology or were planning to do so within a year.

Gartner 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.

“Big Data Adoption in the Logical Data Warehouse” by Gartner dated February 7, 2013, reports on the results of a Gartner study about Big Data. For example, over 40% of all organizations plan on using the data warehouse and data integration practices.

Mobile/BYOD:

The mobile software and services capabilities are a market that is predicted by McKinsey & Co. to reach $130 billion in revenue by 2015 (Source: Article from FierceMobileIT dated, November 9, 2012 http://news.enterprisemobilitytoday.com/articles/share/54230/.) According to Forrester Research statistics provided by IBM, mobile spending is predicted to reach $1.3 trillion by 2016. In addition, there are expected to be 200 million employees bringing their mobile devices to work by 2016. (Source: Article from FierceMobileIT dated, November 9, 2012 - http://news.enterprisemobilitytoday.com/articles/share/54230/).

The FAR is the principal set of rules in the Federal Acquisition Regulation System. This system consists of sets of regulations issued by agencies of the federal government of the United States to govern what is called the “acquisition process”; this is the process through which the government purchases (“acquires”) goods and services. That process consists of three phases: (1) need recognition and acquisition planning, (2) contract formation, and (3) contract administration.   The DFARS are a supplement to the FAR that provides Department of Defense (DoD) specific acquisition regulations.  The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition Technology and Logistics maintains the Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy.

Competition

Sysorex

The market-space for those providing IT solutions and services is competitive throughout the world. However, the Government sector is less competitive as fewer companies understand how to successfully penetrate the Government tendering process.  The management of Sysorex has 30 plus years of experience in this area and knows how to compete against the smallest to the largest players. In the past, our predecessor Sysorex went head to head with companies such as EDS, Micron, IBM, and Accenture on large government projects and was able to compete effectively. We are seeking to do the same going forward.

Competition comes in a variety of forms in today’s global economy. There are large systems integrators and defense contractors as well as small businesses, 8a, Women-owned, Veteran Disabled, Alaskan Native, etc. Some of these players include global defense & IT service companies including IBM Global Services, LogicaCMG, CSC, ATOS Origins, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon IT Services and SAIC.  Sysorex expects to also face new competitors as it makes acquisitions in its target areas of cyber-security, Big Data, Cloud services and mobile/BYOD; etc. We believe these will range from services companies to companies with products and technologies.

Traditional consulting firm potential competitors include: KPMG, Accenture, Ernst & Young

Medium/small business potential competitors include: Starry Associates, Eyak Technologies, Hi-Tec Systems, Inc., CACI, Apptis and Cylab.

Indian IT service firm potential competitors include: Wipro, TCS, Infosys, HC and Polaris

Middle East IT service firms potential competitors include: Jeraisy Group, Ebttikaar, Ejada, ACS and NATCOM

This complex landscape of domestic and multi-national services companies creates a challenging environment, however, Sysorex has a successful history and brand that it believes it can leverage. Our strategy is to be a global services provider with presence in two high growth markets (India and Middle-East).  Our focus is on public, as well as private sectors, which we believe gives us a balanced and strong base for success.

Lilien Systems

The enterprise infrastructure and IT VAR industry is highly competitive. Lilien competes with various types and sizes of companies ranging from local and national service providers such as Fusion Storm Global Inc., Bear Data, LLC, enPointe Technologies and sometimes manufacturers of the products themselves. Lilien believes that it can differentiate itself from its competitors because it brings commitment, technical expertise and business vision to its solutions – enterprise computing and storage, virtualization, business continuity, networking and IT business consulting.

Shoom

Shoom competes primarily with in-house solutions that media and publishing companies may have. In addition, companies like MerlinOne and PressTeligence have part of Shoom’s solutions but usually only provide information for the specific customer and not for their competiors or for the industry.

Intellectual Property

The Company currently does not have any legally filed trademarks for the names Sysorex or Lilien although it has assigned value to the Lilien trade name as part of the acquisition accounting. Sysorex is investigating a trademark and is also looking at future acquisitions, which have intellectual property with patents, trademarks, etc. Sysorex believes that it does not infringe upon any intellectual property rights held by other parties.

Employees

As of October 1, 2013, Sysorex Government Services had 21 employees, including its parents two executive officers and one administrative person.  Lilien Systems had 44 full-time, non-union employees, including the executive officers and no part-time employees.   Shoom had 20 employees including its four officers, including its VP of Sales and VP of Customer Services, two sales representatives, one administrative person and 13 technical/engineering persons.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business.

Headquartered in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, SIS was awarded and successfully managed multi-year multi-million dollar contracts, before being sold to the Vanstar Corporation in 1997.

Mr. Qureishi is a veteran of the IT industry and has been as an investor in cutting edge technologies in Silicon Valley since the 1970’s.  He invented, developed, and marketed a highly successful player selection/organization system used by three major NFL championship-winning athletic teams. He conceived, designed, and installed a personnel-testing system for a 300,000-person organization. The system effectively evaluated numerous behavioral, professional, and performance facets of key employees in the organization .   Mr. Qureishi has also managed the development, marketing, and implementation of a broad series of successful computer application programs in business, education, and government.  He has vast technical and business experience that he brings to the Sysorex Board along with extensive contacts and relationships.  He is the father-in-law of Nadir Ali, the Company’s CEO.

Director or Officer Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

Our directors and executive officers were not involved in any legal proceedings as described in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past ten years.

Directors and Officers Liability Insurance

We have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance insuring our directors and officers against liability for acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers, subject to certain exclusions. Such insurance also insures us against losses, which we may incur in indemnifying our officers and directors. In addition, officers and directors also have indemnification rights under applicable laws, and our articles of incorporation and bylaws.

Independent Directors

We believe Len Oppenheim is an “independent director,” and an audit committee financial expert as those terms are defined by listing standards of the national exchanges and SEC rules, including the rules relating to the independence standards of an audit committee and the non-employee director definition of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  We intend to add additional independent directors in order to meet listing requirements of a national securities exchange.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Currently, our Board of Directors acts as audit, nominating, corporate governance and compensation committees.   The Board of Directors has adopted charters relative to its audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee.    Until such time as we add more members to the Board, the entire Board will determine all matters and no committees have been formed. We intend to appoint persons to the board of directors and committees of the board of directors as required to meet the corporate governance requirements of a national securities exchange, although we are not required to comply with these requirements until we are listed on a national securities exchange. We intend to appoint directors in the future so that we have a majority of our directors who will be independent directors, and of which at least one director will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” prior to a listing on a national securities exchange.

Audit Committee

The audit committee’s duties under the terms of its charter are to recommend to our board of directors the engagement of independent auditors to audit our financial statements and to include the terms of its charter review our accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee reviews the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by independent public accountants, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee oversees the independent auditors, including their independence and objectivity. However, the committee members are not acting as professional accountants or auditors, and their functions are not intended to duplicate or substitute for the activities of management and the independent auditors. The audit committee is empowered to retain independent legal counsel and other advisors as it deems necessary or appropriate to assist the audit committee in fulfilling its responsibilities, and to approve the fees and other retention terms of the advisors. The audit committee members possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee has certain duties and powers as described in its charter, including but not limited to periodically reviewing and approving our salary and benefits policies, compensation of our executive officers, administering our stock option plans, and recommending and approving grants of stock options under those plans.

Nominating Committee

Under the charter of our nominating and corporate governance committee, the nominating and corporate governance committee considers and makes recommendations on matters related to the practices, policies and procedures of the board of directors and takes a leadership role in shaping our corporate governance. As part of its duties, the nominating and corporate governance committee assesses the size, structure and composition of the board of directors and its committees, coordinates evaluation of board performance and reviews board compensation. The nominating and corporate governance committee also acts as a screening and nominating committee for candidates considered for election to the board of directors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our directors or executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

On September 1, 2011 our Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the 2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to provide an incentive to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship, and to stimulate an active interest of these persons in our development and financial success. Under the Plan, as amended, we are authorized to issue up to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, including incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock and long term incentive awards. The 2011 Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by our board of directors until authority has been delegated to a committee of the board of directors.  

As of June 30, 2013, an aggregate of 1,707,500 options had been granted under the Plan.  The options are exercisable at prices ranging from $0.156 to $0.70 per share.  Included are options to the following officers of the Company: A. Salam Qureishi, Chairman of the Board (500,000 options); Nadir Ali, CEO (250,000 options); and Wendy Loundermon, CFO (315,000 options).  Included, effective March 1, 2013, upon the Lilien Acquisition, are 38 employees of Lilien Systems who granted an aggregate of 209,500 incentive stock options with four-year vesting schedules exercisable for ten (10) years at $0.40 per share.  As of the September 6, 2013 closing date of the Shoom Acquisition, 22 employees were granted an aggregate of 200,000 incentive stock options with three-year vesting schedules exercisable for 10 years at $1.30 per share.  Thus, there are 1,907,500 options currently issued and outstanding that the Plan and 1,092,500 options and shares available for future issuance with the Plan.  In addition, on August 14, 2013 the Board of Directors granted to Nadir Ali non-qualified stock options outside of the Plan to purchase 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.35, the current fair market value.  The options vest in four equal installments from the second through the fifth anniversary dates of grant.  However, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined) where Mr. Ali is no longer employed by the Company as an executive officer, the Option will accelerate and be fully vested (and non-forfeitable) and immediately exercisable.

Director Compensation

Len Oppenheim was our sole independent director during the year ended December 31, 2012.  We have accrued, not but paid $20,000 as the value of the restricted shares of common stock earned by Mr. Oppenheim for 2012.  Directors are reimbursed ordinary and reasonable expenses incurred in exercising their responsibilities.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Except as set forth below, during the past three years, there have been no transactions, whether directly or indirectly, between the Company and any of its officers, directors or their family members.

Employment Agreements

The Company entered into an employment agreement with Nadir Ali, as the CEO, on July 1, 2010, as amended.  Lilien Systems has entered into substantively similar employment agreements effective March 20, 2013, with Geoffrey Lilien, as Chief Executive Officer, Brett Osborn as President and Dhruv Gulati, as Executive Vice President of Business Development.  See “Executive Compensation - Employment Agreements.”

Acquisition of Lilien

As discussed under the heading “The Lilien Acquisition” in the “Business” section above, on March 1, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Lilien LLC (“Lilien LLC”), for consideration consisting of $3,000,000 cash and the issuance of 6,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company with a deemed fair market value of $6,000,000, or $1.00 per share, to the former members of Lilien LLC (the “Former Lilien Members”), pursuant to the Asset Purchase and Merger Agreement (the “APMA”).  Pursuant to the APMA, the Company purchased the assets of Lilien LLC which included all of the capital stock of Lilien Systems (“Lilien”), now a subsidiary of the Company.

Upon the completion of the Lilien Acquisition, Geoffrey Lilien, Bret Osborn and Dhruv Gulatui were elected to the Company’s then existing Board of Directors of three persons.  Sysorex and Lilien LLC agreed to mutually elect an independent seventh director, who has not yet been elected.  Sysorex also agreed to nominate Lilien’s three representatives for re-election for two successive shareholder meetings.  In addition to serving as directors of the Company, Geoffrey Lilien is the Chief Executive Officer of Lilien, Bret Osborn serves as the President of Lilien, and Dhruv Gulati serves as the Executive Vice President.

In the Lilien Acquisition, Geoffrey Lilien received 3,411,815 shares of Common Stock of the Company and $1,705,908, Bret Osborn received 1,222,012 shares of Common Stock and $611,006 and Dhruv Gulati received 885,766 shares of Common Stock and $442,883.

All of the shares of common stock of the Company that were issued in the Lilien Acquisition are subject to Lock-up/Leak-out and Guaranty Agreements, prohibiting the holders from selling such shares for six months from the effective date of this registration statement.  Notwithstanding that fact, Geoffrey Lilien can sell up to $1,000,000 in shares in this Offering. The Company contingently guaranteed (the “Guaranty”) to the Former Lilien Members the net sales price of $1.00 per share for a two year period following the closing, provided the stockholders are in compliance with the terms and conditions of the lock-up agreement.  At the end of the two year Guaranty period the Former Lilien Members shall have an option to put all, but not less than all, of their unsold Sysorex shares to Sysorex, for the price of $1.00 per unsold share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the gross profit for calendar 2013 and 2014, attributable to the Lilien assets is more than 20% below what was forecasted to the Company the Guaranty will be proportionately reduced.

Under the APMA, the Former Lilien Members were entitled to any excess cash above $1,000,000, provided both Lilien’s net worth immediately preceding the closing was greater than $1,000,000 and its net worth less excess cash of at least $1,000,000 was greater than $1,000,000. Since net worth was less than $1,000,000 there was an $153,000 working capital settlement adjustment, however, this amount is subject to continuing negotiation.

Note Payable to Related Party

The Company has borrowed funds from the Qureishi 1998 Family Trust, pursuant to an oral agreement with no stated interest rate and which is payable upon demand.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company owed $136,977 to the Qureishi 1998 Family Trust, which was repaid in full March 2013.  The Qureishi 1998 Family Trust owns 1,814,576 shares of common stock of the Company, representing approximately 6.5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company as of October 4, 2013.  The power to vote and dispose of the shares held by the Qureishi 1998 Family Trust is held by Abdus Salam Qureishi, the chairman of the board of directors of the Company.  Nadir Ali and his wife are beneficiaries of the Trust.

The Company has borrowed funds from Sysorex Consulting, Inc., pursuant to an oral agreement with no stated interest rate and which is payable upon demand.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company owed $11,717 to Sysorex Consulting, Inc., which has since been repaid in full.  Sysorex Consulting, Inc. owns 421,566 shares of common stock of the Company, representing approximately 1.5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company as of October 1, 2013.  The power to vote and dispose of the shares held by Sysorex Consulting, Inc. is held by Abdus Salam Qureishi, the chairman of the board of directors of the Company.


60





Non-interest bearing amounts due on demand from Sysorex Consulting to Sysorex Saudi Arabia, Inc. were $665,554 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  These advances were made to fund operations of Sysorex Consulting.  As Sysorex Consulting is a direct shareholder and invested in the Company, the amounts due to the Company as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 have been included in Stockholders’ Equity.

Agreements with Duroob Technology, Inc.

On March 31, 2013, the Company issued 887,433 shares of common stock in satisfaction of $1,774,865 owed by Sysorex Arabia LLC to Duroob Technology, Inc., a Saudi Arabian limited liability company (“Duroob”), a related party, as Duroob’s CEO owns a minority interest in Sysorex Arabia LLC.  The money owed by Sysorex Arabia to Duroob was for working capital loans for payroll, rent and past-due liabilities.  The fair market value of the shares was $887,433 and since Duroob is a related party the resulting gain of $887,443 has been credited to additional paid-in capital.  As of June 30, 2013, Duroob was owed $237,798.   Sysorex Arabia LLC is 50.2% owned by the Company and 49.8% owned by Abdul Aziz Salloum (“Salloum”), its general manager.  Salloum is also the CEO and principal shareholder of Duroob.

The issuance of these shares was recorded by Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. as an additional investment in its majority-owned subsidiary, Sysorex Arabia LLC.  However, by agreement with Salloum, the ownership percentages of Sysorex Arabia LLC remained unchanged.  The Company’s 50.2% interest in Sysorex Arabia LLC was acquired from Sysorex Consulting, Inc. and the Qureishi Family Trust pursuant to a July 29, 2011 Acquisition and Share Exchange Agreement.  The power to vote and dispose of the shares held by Sysorex Consulting, Inc. and the Qureishi Family Trust are held by Abdus Salam Qureishi, the chairman of the board of directors of the Company.  

Family Relationships

Abdus Salam Qureishi, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, is the father-in-law of Nadir Ali, the CEO and a director of the Company.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers


Section 718.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, as we are, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person (a) is not liable pursuant to Section 73.138 of the NRS, and (b) acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Nevada corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person (a) is not liable pursuant to Section 73.138 of the NRS, and (b) acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.


Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the provisions of the NRS, as amended from time to time, subject to any permissible expansion or limitation of such indemnification, as may be set forth in any stockholders’ or directors’ resolution or by contract. In addition, our director and officer indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers provide, among other things, for the indemnification to the fullest extent permitted or required by Nevada law, provided that no indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification in connection with any claim initiated by the indemnitee against us or our directors or officers unless we join or consent to the initiation of the claim, or the purchase and sale of securities by the indemnitee in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.


Any repeal or modification of these provisions approved by our stockholders will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any of our directors or officers existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.


We are also permitted to maintain insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or not the NRS would permit indemnification.


Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securites Act Liabilities


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to officers, directors or persons controlling our Company purusant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that is it is the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.


Anti-Takeover Effect of Nevada Law, Certain By-Law Provisions


Certain provisions of our Bylaws are intended to strengthen the board of directors’ position in the event of a hostile takeover attempt. These provisions have the following effects:


We are subject to the provisions of NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, an anti-takeover law which applies to any acquisition of a controlling interest in an “issuing corporation.” In general, such anti-takeover laws permit the articles of incorporation, bylaws or a resolution adopted by the directors of an “issuing corporation” (as defined in NRS 78.3788) to impose stricter requirements on the acquisition of a controlling interest in such corporation than the provisions of NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, as well as permit the directors of an issuing corporation to take action to protect the interests of the corporation and its stockholders, including, but not limited to, adopting plans, arrangements or other instruments that grant or deny rights, privileges, power or authority to holder(s) of certain percentages of ownership and/or voting power. Further, an “acquiring person” (and those acting in association) only obtains such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by resolution of the stockholders at either a special meeting requested by the acquiring person, provided it delivers an offeror's statement pursuant to NRS 78.3789 and undertakes to pay the expenses thereof, or at the next special or annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, the anti-takeover law generally provides for (i) the redemption by the issuing corporation of not less than all of the “control shares” (as defined) in accordance with NRS 78.3792, if so provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws in effect on the 10th day following the acquisition of a controlling interest in an “issuing corporation”, and (ii) dissenter's rights pursuant to NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, for stockholders that voted against authorizing voting rights for the control shares.


63




We are also subject to the provisions of NRS 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, which generally prohibits a publicly held Nevada corporation from engaging in a “combination” with an “interested stockholder” (each as defined) that is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of at least ten percent of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation that previously held such voting power within the past three years, for a period of three years after the date the person first became an “interested stockholder”, subject to certain exceptions for authorized combinations, as provided therein.


In accordance with NRS 78.195, our articles of incorporation provide for the authority of the board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock in series by filing a certificate of designation to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in such series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, subject to limitations prescribed by law.


Blank Check Preferred Stock

The ability to authorize “blank check” preferred stock 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.  These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our Company.



64





SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Immediately prior to the commencement of this Offering, there was a limited public market for our common stock and a limited number of shares in the public float.  Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market commencing six months after the effective date of this prospectus when lock-up agreements expire could adversely affect the prevailing market price and our ability to raise capital in the future.

We currently have 28,091,305 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.  Upon the completion of this Offering, we will have outstanding an aggregate of 31,891,305 shares of common stock, assuming the issuance of 3,800,000 shares of common stock in this Offering and assuming that the Underwriter does not exercise its option to purchase up to an additional 600,000 shares and assuming that none of our other outstanding warrants or options granted under our 2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan are exercised.  Of these outstanding shares, all 3,800,000 shares sold by us in the Offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless these shares are purchased by “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.  Of the 28,091,305 shares of our common stock outstanding prior to the completion of this Offering and held by existing stockholders, approximately 3,916,000 shares are currently free trading and the remaining are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act all but approximately 2,900,000 of which have been held for more than six months.  Restricted shares may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for exemption under Rule 144 or 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, which rules are summarized below, or another exemption.

Lock-Up Agreements

We have obtained lock-up agreements from each of our officers and directors and stockholders owning 2% or more of our common stock and their respective affiliates who, immediately prior to the commencement of this Offering, collectively held approximately 67% of our shares.  Pursuant to the lock-up agreements, each such stockholder has agreed that such stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our common stock, for a period of 180 days following the date of this prospectus, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, subject to an extension in the event we issue an earnings release or make a public announcement of a material event during the last 17 days of the lock-up period.  The lock-up agreements permit transfers of shares of our common stock in limited circumstances, provided that the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the provisions of the lock-up agreement.

As a result of these lock-up agreements and rules of the Securities act, the restricted shares will be available for sale in the public market, subject to certain volume and other restrictions, and subject to release as mentioned above, as follows:


Date

 

Number

of Shares

On the date of this prospectus

 

15,275,305

For 180 days following the date of this prospectus*

 

8,761,997

At various times after the six-month anniversary of

the date of this prospectus

 

2,900,000

 

*  Subject to an extension in the event we issue an earnings release or make a public announcement of a material event during the last 17days of the lock-up period.


Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a person who owns shares that were acquired from us or one of our affiliates at least six months prior to the proposed sale is entitled to sell, within any three-month period beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:


·

One percent of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately 317,-913 shares immediately after this Offering, assuming that the Underwriter does not exercise its option to purchase additional shares; or

·

The average weekly trading volume of the common stock on a national securities exchange during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

·

In addition to these volume limitations, sales of unregistered shares of our common stock in reliance on Rule 144 may only be made by affiliates if such sales:

·

are preceded by a notice filing on Form 144;

·

are limited to broker’s transactions, as such term is defined under Section 4(4) of the Securities Act; and

·

only occur at a time when current public information about us is available, which generally would require that we are not delinquent with any of our reports required pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.



65





Rule 144 also provides that our affiliates who sell shares of our common stock that are not restricted shares must nonetheless comply with the same restrictions applicable to restricted shares, with the exception of the holding period requirement.

Under Rule 144, a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates for purposes of the Securities Act at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates, is entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.    If the non-affiliate has held the shares for at least one year, then the shares may be sold without regard to the public information provisions of Rule 144.  Therefore, unless otherwise restricted, shares held by non-affiliates may be sold immediately upon the expiration of the lock-up agreements.

Rule 701

In general, under Rule 701 as currently in effect, any of our employees, consultants or advisors who acquire shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement will be eligible to resell such shares 90 days after the effective date of this offering in reliance of Rule 144, but without compliance with certain restrictions, including the holding period, contained in Rule 144.

Penny Stock Rules

Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the SEC.  Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than US $5.00.  Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.  In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules.  Our shares may in the future be subject to such penny stock rules in which care our stockholders would, in all likelihood, as a result of the penny stock rules, find it difficult to sell their securities.

UNDERWRITING

Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, Wellington Shields & Co. LLC has agreed to purchase from us in a firm commitment offering 3,800,000 shares of common stock in this offering and from the Selling Stockholder 200,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price, less the Underwriter’s fee, set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriter to purchase the shares of common stock offered hereby are subject to certain conditions precedent and that the Underwriter will purchase all of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus, other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below, if any of these shares are purchased.

We have been advised by the Underwriter that the Underwriter proposes to offer the shares of common stock to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus and to dealers at a price that represents a concession not in excess of $[ ] per share under the public offering price.  The Underwriter may allow, and these dealers may re-allow, a concession of not more than $[ ] per share to other dealers.  After the initial public offering, the Underwriter may change the offering price and other selling terms.

We have granted to the Underwriter an option, exercisable not later than 45 days after the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to 600,000 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, less the Underwriter’s fee.  The Underwriter may exercise this option only to cover over-allotments made in connection with the sale of the common stock offered by this prospectus.  We will be obligated, pursuant to the option, to sell these additional shares of common stock to the Underwriter to the extent the option is exercised.  If any additional shares of common stock are purchased, the Underwriter will offer the additional shares on the same terms as those on which the shares are being offered.

Under our underwriting agreement with Wellington Shields & Co. LLC, we are to pay (or, in some incidences have paid) to the underwriter (a) an underwriting fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering to us but not to the Selling Stockholder who will pay his proportionate share, (b) a non-refundable engagement fee of $50,000 and (c) a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 2% of the gross proceeds of the offering.

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts, fees and commissions to be paid to the underwriter by us, as well as the number of warrants issuable to the underwriter.  Such amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase 600,000 additional shares.

We estimate that our total expenses of this offering, excluding the Underwriter’s fees, will be approximately $200,000 which includes our legal and accounting costs and various other fees associated with registering and listing the shares offered hereby.

We also agreed to issue to the Underwriter a warrant to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to an aggregate of 3% of the shares of our common stock sold in this Offering (including any shares issued pursuant to the Underwriter’s over-allotment option).  The warrant will have an exercise price equal to 125% of the offering price of the shares sole in this offering.  The warrant is exercisable commencing one year after the effective date of the registration statement related to this offering, and will be exercisable for four years thereafter.  The warrant is not redeemable by us.  The Underwriter (or permitted assignees under the Rule) may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the warrant or the shares of our common stock underlying the warrant, except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the Offering and their bona fide officers or partners, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the warrant or the underlying shares of our common stock for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus.  Additionally, the warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a one-year period (including the foregoing 180 day period) following the effective date of the registration statement except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners.  The warrant will provided for adjustment in the number and price of such warrant (and the shares of common stock underlying such warrant) in the event of recapitalization, merger or other structural transaction to prevent mechanical dilution.


67





We have granted the Underwriter a right of first refusal (“ROFR”) if we complete a private placement, public offering or other transaction within two months of the effective date of this registration statement. For the 18 month period commencing upon the closing of such transaction, the Underwriter shall have a ROFR to provide any financing arrangements to the Company, with the role of the Underwriter, if any, to be determined at that time.  In addition, for the one year period commencing two months after the effective date of this registration statement, the Underwriter shall have a preferential right to participate as co-manager with no less than a 25% economic interest (fees) in providing any financial arrangements for the Company or be paid a breakup fee of $200,000.

We have agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against some specified types of liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the Underwriter may be required to make in respect of any of these liabilities.

We and each of our officers, directors and stockholders owning 2% or more of our common stock and their respective affiliates have agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any transaction that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition of any shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of our common stock or derivatives of our common stock owned by these persons prior to this offering or common stock issuable upon exercise of options held by these persons for a period of 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.  Transfers or dispositions can be made during the lock-up period in the case of gifts or for estate planning purposes where the donee signs a lock-up agreement.  There are no agreements between the underwriter and any of our officers, directors, stockholders or affiliates releasing them from these lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the one-year period.

The Underwriter has advised us that they do not intend to confirm sales to any account over which it exercises discretionary authority.

In connection with the offering, the Underwriter may purchase and sell shares of our common stock in the open market.  These transactions may include short sales, purchases to cover positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions.

Short sales involve the sale by an Underwriter of a greater number of shares than it is required to purchase in the Offering.  Covered short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than an Underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares of common stock from us in the Offering.  An Underwriter may close out any covered short position by either exercising its option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market.  In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the Underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which it may purchase shares through the over-allotment option.

Naked short sales are any sales in excess of the over-allotment option.  An Underwriter must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market.  A naked short position is more likely to be created if an Underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market prior to the completion of the Offering.

Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of our common stock made by an Underwriter in the open market prior to the completion of the Offering.

Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions may have the effect of preventing or slowing a decline in the market price of our common stock.  In addition, these purchases may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of our common stock.  As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market.  These transactions may be effected on a national securities exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

A prospectus in electronic format is being made available on Internet web sites maintained by the Underwriter of this Offering.  Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the Underwriter’s web site and any information contained in any other web site maintained by such Underwriter is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which the prospectus forms a part.

SYSOREX GLOBAL HOLDINGS CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 AND 2012



Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business


Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. (“SGHC”), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sysorex Federal, Inc. and Sysorex Government Services, Inc., and majority-owned subsidiary, Sysorex Arabia LLC (collectively the “Company”), provides information technology and telecommunications solutions and services primarily to government customers in the United States and Saudi Arabia.  The Company is a systems integration and consulting company and has a wide range of offerings, including, but not limited to: custom application/software design, architecture and development, data center design and operations services, command control, computer communication, intelligence (C4I) system consulting, program management and security solutions and services.


Effective March 1, 2013, and as more fully described in Note 4, the Company acquired the assets of Lilien LLC (“Lilien”), and 100% of the stock of Lilien Systems. The Company expanded its operations by providing information technology solutions services to organizations. These services include enterprise computing and storage, virtualization, business continuity, networking and information technology business consulting services. The Company is headquartered in the state of California, has an office in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary operates in Saudi Arabia.


Liquidity


As of June 30, 2013 the Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately $8.9 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $2.0 million and cash used in operations was approximately $2.4 million. 


Subsequent to June 30, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the stock of Shoom, Inc. a California based provider of cloud based data analytics and enterprise solutions to the media, publishing, and entertainment industries. In addition the Company amended its bank line of credit to increase the credit limit to $6,000,000. The Company’s current capital resources as of June 30, 2013 are expected to be sufficient to fund planned operations during the succeeding twelve months. The Company’s plans include entering into agreements to obtain additional equity financing to fund short-term operating activities and implementing its expansion strategy that was launched with the acquisition of Lilien in March 2013. In addition in February 2013, the Company will be a participant in the U.S. Navy SPAWAR contract of which is expected to start releasing task orders during the fourth quarter of 2013 and first quarter of 2014.


The Company can give no assurance that it will be successful in implementing its business plan and obtain financing that will be available on terms advantageous to the Company, or at all. Should the Company not be successful in implementing its business plan or obtaining the necessary financing to fund its short-term operations, the Company may need to curtail certain or all of its expansion activities.


Note 2 - Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the six -month period ended June 30, 2013 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.  These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the Company's audited financial statements and footnotes for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 contained elsewhere in this document.


Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements


Significant Accounting Policies


The Company's complete accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Company's audited financial statements and footnotes for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 contained elsewhere in this document.


Principles of Consolidation


The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting records of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Lilien Systems, Sysorex Federal, Inc., and Sysorex Government Services, Inc., and its majority-owned subsidiary, Sysorex Arabia LLC.  All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 AND 2012



Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)


Principles of Consolidation (continued)


The Company owns 50.2% of Sysorex Arabia (“SA”).  As of June 30, 2013, SA had minimal cash, approximately $415,000 in contracts receivable, $920,000 in deposits, $58,000 in other assets and intercompany balances and debts as disclosed in the following footnotes, with an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,362,000.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Company’s significant estimates consist of:


·

The valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired from Lilien LLC as described in Note 4, as well as the valuation of the Company's common shares issued in that transaction;

·

The valuation of stock-based compensation;

·

The allowance for doubtful accounts; and

·

The valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset.


Inventory


Inventory consisting primarily of finished goods is stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The Company continually analyzes its slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories.  Based on historical and projected sales volumes and anticipated selling prices, the Company establishes reserves.  If the Company does not meet its sales expectations, these reserves are increased.  Products that are determined to be obsolete are written down to net realizable value.  As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company deemed any such allowance nominal.


Intangible Assets


Intangible assets primarily consist of customer lists, and trade names and trademarks and are amortized ratably over seven years which approximates customer attrition rate. The Company assesses the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment each year. Based on its assessments, the Company did not incur any impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2013.


Goodwill


The Company records goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets in connection with business combinations. Goodwill, which represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets of acquired companies, is not amortized. Indefinite-lived assets are stated at fair value as of the date acquired in a business combination. The Company’s goodwill balance and other assets with indefinite lives are evaluated for potential impairment annually each year and in certain other circumstances. The evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of the business to the recorded value, including goodwill. To determine the fair value of the business, the Company utilizes both the “Income Approach”, which is based on estimates of future net cash flows, and the “Market Approach”, which observes transactional evidence involving similar businesses. There was no impairment for the six months ended June 30, 2013.


Prepaid Licenses and Maintenance Contracts


Prepaid licenses and maintenance contracts represent payments made by the Company directly to the manufacturer. The Company acts as the principal and the primary obligor in the transaction and amortizes the capitalized costs ratably over the term of the contract to cost of revenues, generally one to five years.

Stock-Based Compensation


The Company accounts for equity instruments granted to employees by measuring the cost of services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based upon the fair value of the award on the date of grant.  The fair value of that award is then ratably recognized as expense over the period during which the recipient is required to provide services in exchange for that award.


Equity instruments granted to consultants and other non-employees are recorded at fair value as of the grant date and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period until such options and warrants vest, and the fair value of such instruments, as adjusted, is expensed over the related vesting period.


The Company incurred stock-based compensation charges, net of estimated forfeitures, of $470,177 and $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The following table summarizes the nature of such charges for the six months ended June 30, 2013:

The Company is primarily a reseller of third-party manufactured products, maintenance, and services, recognizes the revenue on sales of products (software and hardware) and maintenance agreements once four criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the price is fixed and determinable, (3) delivery (software and hardware) or fulfillment (maintenance) has occurred, and (4) there is reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. Revenues from the sales of hardware products, software products, licenses, and maintenance agreements are recognized on a gross basis in accordance with applicable standards with the selling price to the customer recorded as sales and the acquisition cost of the product recorded as cost of sales.


Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized based on a fixed hourly rate for direct labor hours expended. The fixed rate includes direct labor, indirect expenses, and profits. Materials, or other specified direct costs, are reimbursed as actual costs and may include markup. Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known. These amounts are based on known and estimated factors. Revenues are derived principally from time and material or firm fixed price long-term and short-term contracts with various United States Government agencies, Saudi Arabian Government agencies, and commercial customers.

(UNAUDITED)

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 AND 2012



Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)


Revenue Recognition (continued)


The Company records revenues from sales of third party products in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-45 “Principal Agent Consideration” (“ASC 605-45”). Furthermore, in accordance with ASC 605-45, the Company evaluates sales on a case by case basis to determine whether the transaction should be recorded gross or net, including, but not limited to, assessing whether or not the Company:  1) acts as principal in the transaction, 2) takes title to the products, and 3) has risks and rewards of ownership, such as the risk of loss for collection, delivery, or returns.  The Company did not record any revenues on a net basis for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.


The Company also enters into sales transactions whereby customer orders contain multiple deliverable, and reports its multiple deliverable arrangements under ASC 605-25 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“ASC-605-25”). These multiple deliverable arrangements primarily consist of the following deliverables: third-party computer hardware, third-party software, third-party hardware and software maintenance (a.k.a. support), and third-party services.  From time to time the personnel of the Company were contracted to perform installation and services for the customer.  In situations where the Company bundles all or a portion of the separate elements, Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) is determined based on prices when sold separately.  For the 6 months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 revenues recognized as a result of customer contracts requiring the delivery of multiple elements was $11,277,839 and $0 respectively.  The Company had no multiple deliverable arrangements prior to the acquisition of Lilien.


Product delivery to customers occur in a variety of ways, including (i) as physical product shipped from the Company’s warehouse, (ii) via drop-shipment by the vendor, or (iii) via electronic delivery for software licenses. The Company leverages drop-ship arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouse, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs. Furthermore, in such drop-ship arrangements, the Company negotiates price with the customer, pays the supplier directly for the product shipped and bears credit risk of collecting payment from its customers. The Company serves as the principal with the customer and, therefore, recognizes the sale and cost of sale of the product upon receiving notification from the supplier that the product has shipped.


Maintenance agreements allow customers to obtain technical support directly from the manufacturer and to upgrade, at no additional cost, to the latest technology if new software updates are introduced during the period that the maintenance agreement is in effect. Revenue derived from maintenance contracts primarily consists of the sale of third-party maintenance contracts by the Company, whereby the Company acts as the principal and the primary obligor in the transaction. Typically, the Company sells third-party maintenance contracts for a separate fee with initial contractual periods ranging from one to three years with renewal for additional periods thereafter. The Company generally bills maintenance fees in advance. The Company recognizes maintenance revenue ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement. In situations where the Company bundles all or a portion of the maintenance fee with products, VSOE for maintenance is determined based on prices when sold separately.


The Company recognizes revenue for sales of internally-performed services ratably over the time period over which the service will be provided. Billings for such services that are made in advance of the related revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the billing coverage period.  For service engagements that are on a time and materials basis, revenues are recognized based upon hours incurred as services are performed and amounts are earned.  Sales are recorded net of discounts,  rebates, and returns. Vendor rebates and price protection are recorded when earned as a reduction to cost of sales or merchandise inventory, as applicable.  Vendor product price discounts are recorded when earned as a reduction to cost of sales.  Vendor product sales volume and growth incentive rebates based on total Company quarterly sales are recorded when earned as other income.


Cooperative reimbursements from vendors, which are earned and available, are recorded in the period the related advertising expenditure is incurred. Cooperative reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of cost of sales in accordance with ASC Topic 605-50 “Accounting by a Customer (including reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor.” Provisions for returns are estimated based on historical sales returns and credit memo analysis which are adjusted to actual on a periodic basis.  The Company receives Marketing Development Funds (MDF) from vendors based on quarterly sales performance to promote the marketing of vendor products and services. The Company must file claims with vendors for these cooperative reimbursements by providing invoices and receipts for marketing expenses. Reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of marketing expenses and other applicable selling general and administrative expenses in the period in which the expenses were incurred.

Revenue Recognition (continued)


In general, the Company requires an upfront deposit for significant arrangements. If the Company receives a payment from a customer prior to meeting all of the revenue recognition criteria, the payment is recorded as deferred revenue. The Company’s current arrangements with its third party integrators, value added resellers and distributors generally do not provide for any rights of return, price protection or other contingencies.


Net Loss Per Share


The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net loss per common share were the same since the inclusion of common shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of options and warrants in the calculation of diluted net loss per common shares would have been anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC did not have, or are not expected to have, a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.


Subsequent Events


The Company evaluates events and/or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date and before the issue date of the condensed consolidated financial statements to determine if any of those events and/or transactions requires adjustment to or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.


Note 4 - Acquisition of the Business of Lilien LLC


On March 20, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Merger Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Lilien LLC and 100% of the stock of Lilien Systems (collectively referred hereafter as “Lilien”) effective as of March 1, 2013.  Lilien is an information technology company whose operations complement and significantly expands the Company's current base of business.


The purchase price of this acquisition aggregated $9,000,000 and consisted of cash of $3,000,000, and 6,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock deemed to have a fair value of $6,000,000.  The cash consideration of $3,000,000 was obtained by the Company through a borrowing under a credit facility entered into jointly by Sysorex Government Services, Inc. and Lilien Systems concurrently with and for the express purpose of consummating that acquisition.   Total costs incurred for the Lilien acquisition were $907,865.


Lilien Systems and Sysorex Government Services are co-borrowers on the loan and both guaranteed the debt.  As they are part of the consolidated group of the Company no accounting consideration related to the co-guarantee was deemed necessary since such impact, if any, would be eliminated in consolidation.

Note 4 - Acquisition of the Business of Lilien LLC (continued)


Additionally, under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is liable to the former members of Lilien LLC for the payment of additional cash consideration on March 20, 2015 to the extent that they receive less than $1.00 per share from the sale of the 6,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock referred to above (the “Guaranteed Amount”), less customary commissions, on or before March 20, 2015, provided the stockholders are in compliance with the terms and conditions of the lock-up agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the gross profits for calendar 2013 and 2014 attributable to the Lilien assets are more than 20% below what was forecasted to the Company, the Guaranteed Amount will be proportionately reduced.  As of the date of the acquisition and June 30, 2013 the guaranteed amount was de minimis.


The acquisition of Lilien was accounted for by the Company under the acquisition method of accounting, whereby assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition and the results of operations of the acquired company are consolidated with those of the Company from the date of acquisition. The Company deemed the quoted market prices for those shares not to be a reliable measurement method due to the very limited trading activity in such securities.

(C)

On July 29, 2011 and in connection with the acquisition of Softlead, the Company became responsible for a note payable in the amount of $27,262.  The note had no stated interest rate, repayment terms or maturity date.  This note was paid in full on April 3, 2013.


Note 10 - Note Payable to Related Party


On June 15, 2010, the Company entered into a note payable with a director of the Company for $15,000.  The note accrues interest at an annual rate of 8% per annum and matures on September 30, 2013.  Principal and interest due in connection with this note totaled $11,050 and $18,050 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.


On May 29, 2012, the Company entered into a note payable with a related party of the Company for $37,595.  This note has no stated interest rate and is payable upon demand.  Principal due in connection with this note totaled $0 and $17,000 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.


Note 11 - Secured Convertible Note Payable


On August 7, 2012, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the face amount of $200,000 . The Note accrues interest at the effective rate of 32%, is secured by Company receivables, matures on February 7, 2013, and may be prepaid without penalty at any time.


The Note is also convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to 45% of the lowest trading price for the common stock at any time during the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of issuance by the holder of a notice of conversion. Therefore, since this embedded conversion feature provides for the settlement of this convertible promissory note with shares of common stock at a rate which is variable in nature, this embedded conversion feature must be classified and accounted for as a derivative financial instrument.


In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company also issued warrants for the purchase of 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.87 per share through July 29, 2014.  Therefore, since the embedded conversion feature of the convertible promissory note must be accounted for as a derivative instrument, these warrants must also be accounted for as derivative instruments. As a result of entering into the convertible promissory note described above, all other non-employee warrants issued by the Company must also be classified and accounted for as derivative financial instruments.


Generally accepted accounting principles require that:


a)

Derivative financial instruments be recorded at their fair value on the date of issuance and then adjusted to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date with any change in fair value reported in the statement of operations; and

b)

The classification of derivative financial instruments be reassessed as of each balance sheet date and, if appropriate, be reclassified as a result of events during the reporting period then ended.


The fair value of the embedded conversion feature and the warrants, $244,500 and $17,700, respectively, aggregated $262,200.  Consequently, upon issuance of the Note, a debt discount of $200,000 was recorded and the difference of $62,200, representing the fair value of the conversion feature and the warrants in excess of the debt discount, was immediately charged to interest expense.  The debt discount will be amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt, or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.


The fair value of the embedded conversion feature and the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Key assumptions used to apply this pricing model during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 were as follows:


Risk-free interest rate

0.3%

Expected life of option grants

0.5 to 2.0 years

Expected volatility of underlying stock

39%

Note 11 - Secured Convertible Note Payable (continued)


The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options was determined by the historical volatilities for industry peers and used an average of those volatilities.  The risk free interest rate was obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods.


The Company repaid $105,000 and $95,000 of the principal balance due and reclassified $128,468 and $116,097 of the derivative liability to additional paid-in capital during the period ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively.  This note payable was paid in full during the six months ended June 30, 2013.


Note 12 - Line of Credit


On March 15, 2013 and in connection with and concurrent with our acquisition of Lilien, Sysorex Government Services, Inc., and Lilien Systems, 100%-owned subsidiaries of Sysorex Global Holdings, Inc., entered into a Business Finance Agreement (the “Agreement”) as co-borrowers (the “Borrowers”) with Bridge Bank, NA (the “Bank”) under which the Borrowers obtained a revolving line of credit for up to $5,000,000 through March 15, 2015.  Terms of this agreement include compliance with certain debt covenants to include an asset coverage ratio of 1.4 to 1.0, a debt service coverage ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 and performance to plan covenants. As of June 30, 2013, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants, however, the bank did not formally notify the Company of non-compliance.  Effective August 29, 2013 Amendment Number 1 to the Agreement waived those covenants as further described in Note 20. The line of credit incurs interest at the greater of 5.25% or the bank's prime rate plus 2% and matures on March 15, 2015.  The interest rate as of June 30, 2013 was 5.25%. Terms of this agreement require all cash receipts of Sysorex Government Services, Inc. and Lilien Systems to be remitted to a lockbox for application to the balance due in connection with this Agreement. Several of the terms described above which were effective as of June 30, 2013 were subsequently modified, see Subsequent Events Note 20.


On March 20, 2013, the Borrowers received $4,175,000 under this Agreement.  Of that amount, $3,000,000 was paid as consideration in connection with the acquisition of Lilien effective March 1, 2013. The balance of $1,175,000 was utilized to pay the acquisition costs, for the repayment of various notes and short-term debts and to support operations.


The balance outstanding under this facility, including accrued interest, was $5,013,391 as of June 30, 2013.  


Note 13 - Common Stock


On March 20, 2013 and as more fully described in Note 4, the Company issued 6,000,000 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Lilien LLC and 100% of the stock of Lilien Systems.  These shares were deemed to have a fair value of $6,000,000.


On March 20, 2013, the Company issued 180,000 shares of common stock under the terms of a consulting services agreement in connection with the Lilien acquisition.  The Company recorded an expense of $180,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 which has been including as a component of the acquisition transaction costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.


On March 20, 2013, the Company issued 15,000 shares of common stock under the terms of a consulting services agreement.  The Company recorded an expense of $15,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 which has been including as a component of the acquisition transaction costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.


On March 31, 2013, the Company issued 887,433 shares of common stock in satisfaction of $1,774,865 owed by Sysorex Arabia LLC to Duroob Technology, Inc. (“Duroob”), a related party, as Duroob's Chief Executive Officer owns a minority interest in Sysorex Arabia, LLC.  On December 31, 2012 Sysorex Arabia owed Duroob Technology $1,680,447. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, Duroob Technology advanced another $94,419 to Sysorex Arabia for continuing operations which created a balance owed to Duroob Technology at March 31, 2013 of $1,774,865.  The fair market value of the shares was $887,433 and as Duroob is a related party the resulting gain of $887,433 has been credited to additional paid in capital.  The issuance of these shares was recorded by Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. as an additional investment in its majority-owned subsidiary, Sysorex Arabia LLC.  However, by agreement with the other shareholder of Sysorex Arabia LLC, the ownership percentages of Sysorex Arabia LLC remained unchanged.

Note 14 - Options


On March 20, 2013 the Company granted options for the purchase of 209,500 shares of common stock to employees.  These options vest over four years, have a life of ten years, and have an exercise price of $0.40 per share.  The Company valued the stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the fair value of the award was $154,400.  The Company incurred a stock-based compensation charge of $48,250 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 for the vested portion, which has been included as a component of compensation and related benefits.

On April 8, 2013 the Company granted options for the purchase of 15,000 shares of common stock to an employee.  These options vest over four years, have a life of ten years, and have an exercise price of $1.00 per share.  The Company valued the stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the fair value of the award was $7,700.  The Company incurred a stock-based compensation charge of $481 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 which has been included as a component of compensation and related benefits.


As of June 30, 2013, the fair value of non-vested options totaled $113,369 which will be amortized to expense over the remaining vesting period of 3.75 years.


The fair value of each employee option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Key assumptions used in those calculations during the six months ended June 30, 2013 were as follows:


Risk-free interest rate

1.8% to 2.0%

Expected life of option grants

10 years

Expected volatility of underlying stock

40%


The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options was determined by the historical volatilities for industry peers and used an average of those volatilities.  The Company attributes the value of stock-based compensation to operations on the straight-line single option method.  The risk free interest rate was obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods.


Note 15 - Warrants


On March 20, 2013, the Company granted 166,667 warrants to Bridge Bank, NA in connection with the acquisition of Lilien.  The warrants were fully vested on the date of the grant and have a life of seven years.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.45 per share.  The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and incurred a stock-based compensation charge of $109,300 during the six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, which has been including as a component of acquisition transaction costs.

Note 16 - Fair Value


The Company determines the estimated fair value of amounts presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange between buyer and seller. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. These fair value estimates were based upon pertinent information available as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and, as of those dates, the carrying value of all amounts approximates fair value.


The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities at fair value based upon the following fair value hierarchy:


·

Level 1 - Inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

·

Level 2 - Inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

·

Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.


In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.


Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that are classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in historical company data) inputs.


Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of derivative liabilities associated with the convertible debt that contains an indeterminable conversion share price and the tainted warrants as the Company cannot determine if it will have sufficient authorized common stock to settle such arrangements.


There were no assets measured at fair market value included in the Company's financial statements as of June 30, 2013.


The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Note 17 - Credit Risk and Concentrations


Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable’s credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.


The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. Cash is also maintained at a foreign financial institution for its majority-owned subsidiary. The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from cash.


As of June 30, 2013, Customer B represented approximately 23%, Customer A represented approximately 21%, Customer H represented approximately 12% and Customer I represented approximately 10% of total accounts receivable.  As of June 30, 2012,  Customer E represented approximately 44%, Customer F represented approximately 19%, Customer G represented approximately 19% and Customer D represented approximately 17% of total accounts receivable.

Note 19 - Commitments and Contingencies


Litigation


Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.


If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.


Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.


During the year ended December 31, 2011, a judgment in the amount of $936,330 was levied against Sysorex Arabia LLC in favor of Creative Edge, Inc. in connection with amounts advanced for operations.  Of that amount, $214,187 has been repaid, $514,836 will be paid through a surety bond, and the remaining $207,320 has been accrued by  Sysorex Arabia as of June 30, 2013.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors of

Sysorex Global Holdings Corp.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Effective March 1, 2013, and as more fully described in Note 21, the Company acquired the assets of Lilien LLC (“Lilien”), and 100% of the stock of Lilien Systems, an information technology company, which significantly expanded its operations in the fields described above.


Reverse Merger


Effective July 29, 2011, Softlead Inc. (“Softlead”) entered into an Acquisition and Share Exchange Agreement with the Company.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the agreement, at the effective date of the merger, the Company was merged with and into Softlead, with Softlead continuing as the surviving corporation.


As of the effective date, Softlead acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Sysorex Federal, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sysorex Government Services, Inc., and 50.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Sysorex Arabia LLC, from Sysorex Consulting, Inc. and the Qureishi Family Trust.


As of the effective date of the merger, each share of the Company’s common stock was cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive common shares of Softlead for an aggregate of 14,600,000 common shares of Softlead, which constituted 84.6% of the post-acquisition outstanding shares of Softlead’s stock at the end of the merger.  Softlead’s existing shareholders retained a total of 2,650,518 shares of Softlead’s stock, which constituted 15.4% of the post-acquisition outstanding shares of Softlead.  Post-acquisition and after share exchange, there was a total of 17,250,518 issued and outstanding shares of Softlead stock, which was recorded as a recapitalization of Softlead.


For accounting purposes, the transaction described above was treated as a recapitalization of Sysorex Federal Inc., the accounting acquirer, because Sysorex Federal’s shareholders own the majority of Softlead’s outstanding common stock following the transaction and exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the consolidated entity.  Softlead was a non-operating company prior to the acquisition.  Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the merger or acquisition of a private operating company into a non-operating public company with nominal net assets is considered a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination.  As a result, the effect of the recapitalization was applied retroactively to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements as if the current structure existed since inception of the periods presented.  The number of shares issued and outstanding, additional paid-in capital and all references to share quantities of the Company in these notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued by the Company in the reverse merger, while the operating company’s historical equity is being carried forward.  All costs attributable to the reverse merger were expensed as transaction costs.  On the date of the merger, Softlead changed its corporate name to Sysorex Global Holdings Corp.


Currently and as a result of the transactions described in the preceding paragraphs, SGHC conducts its business through:


·

Sysorex Federal, Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary of SGHC, and Sysorex Government Services, Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary of Sysorex Federal, Inc.; and

·

Sysorex Arabia LLC, a 50.2% owned subsidiary of SGHC.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting records of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sysorex Federal, Inc. and Sysorex Government Services, Inc., and its majority-owned subsidiary, Sysorex Arabia LLC.  All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.


The Company owns 50.2% of Sysorex Arabia (“SA”). As of December 31, 2012, SA had minimal cash, approximately $370,000 in contracts receivable, $749,000 in deposits, $68,000 in other assets and intercompany balances and debts as disclosed in the following footnotes, with an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,286,000.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Company’s significant estimates are the valuation of stock-based compensation, derivatives, allowance for doubtful accounts and the valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, checking accounts, money market accounts and temporary investments, with maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company had no cash equivalents.


Accounts Receivable, Contracts receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts


Accounts receivables are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect.  The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts receivables are not overstated due to uncollectibility.  Bad debt reserves are maintained for various customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience.  An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings, or deterioration in the customers’ operating results or financial position.  If circumstances related to customers change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted.  The Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $133,180 and $133,180 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company has reclassified $369,804 and $21,788 respectively as long term  contracts receivable because the amount is not expected to be collected within the next twelve months.


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  The Company depreciates its property and equipment for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 7 years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset, or the initial lease term.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the economic useful life of the related assets, are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures, which extend the economic life, are capitalized.  When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposal is recognized.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, when there are indications that the assets might be impaired. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset to its estimated discounted future cash flows.  If an asset’s carrying value exceeds such estimated cash flows (undiscounted and with interest charges), the Company records an impairment charge for the difference.


Based on its assessments, the Company did not incur any impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method.  Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Income tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained.  A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will either expire before the Company is able to realize the benefit, or that future deductibility is uncertain.


Non-Controlling Interest


The Company has a 50.2% equity interest in Sysorex Arabia as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.  The portion of the Company’s deficiency attributable to this third-party non-controlling interest was approximately $1.2 million and $1.1 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.


Foreign Currency Translation


Assets and liabilities related to the Company’s foreign operations are calculated using the Saudi Riyal and are translated at end-of-period exchange rates, while the related revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period.  Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.


Transaction gains and losses were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.


Comprehensive Income (Loss)


The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) and its components in its consolidated financial statements.  Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments affecting stockholders’ equity that, under US GAAP, are excluded from net loss.  The difference between net income as reported and comprehensive income have historically been immaterial.


Revenue Recognition


Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are comprised of the following:

Revenue is generally recognized when services have been rendered, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.  To the extent that one or more of these conditions are not met, revenue is deferred until such time as all four criteria are met.


Revenues are derived principally from time and material or firm fixed price long-term and short-term contracts with various United States Government agencies, Saudi Arabian Government agencies, and commercial customers.  Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized based on a fixed hourly rate for direct labor hours expended.  The fixed rate includes direct labor, indirect expenses, and profits.  Materials, or other specified direct costs, are reimbursed as actual costs and may include markup.  Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known. These amounts are based on known and estimated factors.

Revenue Recognition (continued)


In general, the Company requires an upfront deposit for significant arrangements.  If the Company receives a payment from a customer prior to meeting all of the revenue recognition criteria, the payment is recorded as deferred revenue.  The Company’s current arrangements with its third-party integrators, value-added resellers and distributors generally do not provide for any rights of return, price-protection or other contingencies.


The Company had no multiple deliverable arrangements during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.


Advertising Costs


Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  Advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were deemed to be nominal during each of the reporting periods.


Stock-Based Compensation


The Company accounts for options granted to employees by measuring the cost of services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based upon the fair value of the award on the date of grant.  The fair value of that award is then ratably recognized as expense over the period during which the recipient is required to provide services in exchange for that award.


Options and warrants granted to consultants and other non-employees are recorded at fair value as of the grant date and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period until such options and warrants vest, and the fair value of such instruments, as adjusted, is expensed over the related vesting period.


The Company incurred stock-based compensation charges, net of estimated forfeitures of $223,600 and $395,300 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The following table summarizes the nature of such charges for the years then ended:

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, and derivative instruments. The Company determines the estimated fair value of such financial instruments presented in these financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. These financial instruments are stated at their respective historical carrying amounts, which approximate fair value due to their short term nature, except derivative instruments which are marked to market at the end of each reporting period.


Derivative Liabilities


In connection with the issuance of a secured convertible promissory note, the terms of the convertible note included an embedded conversion feature; which provided for the settlement of the convertible promissory note into shares of common stock at a rate which was determined to be variable.  The Company determined that the conversion feature was an embedded derivative instrument pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.


The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the conversion option and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.  As a result of entering into the convertible promissory notes, the Company is required to classify all other non-employee warrants as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date.  Any change in fair value was recorded as a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for each reporting period at each balance sheet date.  The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date.  If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.


The fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible unto a fixed number of shares is recorded using the intrinsic value method and the embedded conversion option that is convertible into at variable amount of shares are deemed to be a “down-round protection” and therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815.  Since, “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815.  The Company determined the fair value of the Binomial Lattice Model and the Intrinsic Value Method to be materially the same.  Warrants that have been reclassed to derivative liability that did not contain “down-round protection” were valued using the Black-Scholes model.  The Company’s outstanding warrants did not contain any down round protection.


The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to estimate the fair value of the warrants or options granted.  The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates.  The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants.  The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the warrants or options granted.


Reclassification


Certain accounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year’s financial statements. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported earnings.


Subsequent Events


The Company evaluates events and/or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date and before the issue date of the consolidated financial statements to determine if any of those events and/or transactions require adjustment to or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

b)

Note payable dated June 15, 2010


On June 15, 2010, the Company entered into a note payable for gross proceeds of $28,000.  The note accrued interest at the rate of 6% per annum, had no repayment terms and matured on March 31, 2013.  Principal and interest was repaid in full upon maturity.


c)

Note payable dated July 29, 2011


On July 29, 2011 and in connection with the acquisition of Softlead, the Company became responsible for a note payable in the amount of $27,262.  The note had no stated interest rate, repayment terms or maturity date.  The note was paid in full on April 3, 2013.


Note 9 - Note Payable to Related Party


On June 15, 2010, the Company entered into a note payable with a director of the Company for $15,000.  The note accrues interest at an annual rate of 8% per annum and matures on September 30, 2013.  Principal and interest due in connection with this note totaled $18,050 and $16,850 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.


On May 29, 2012 the Company entered into a note payable with an officer of the Company for $17,000.  This note has no stated interest rate and is payable upon demand.  Principal due in connection with this note totaled $17,000 as of December 31, 2012.


Note 10 - Secured Convertible Note Payable


On August 7, 2012, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the face amount of $200,000 and received proceeds of $180,000.  The Note accrues interest at the effective rate of 32%, is secured by Company receivables, matures on February 7, 2013, and may be prepaid without penalty at any time.


The Note is also convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 45% of the lowest trading price for the common stock at any time during the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of issuance by the holder of a notice of conversion. Therefore, since this embedded conversion feature provides for the settlement of this convertible promissory note with shares of common stock at a rate which is variable in nature, this embedded conversion feature must be classified and accounted for as a derivative financial instrument.


In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company also issued warrants for the purchase of 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.87 per share through July 29, 2014.  Therefore, since the embedded conversion feature of the convertible promissory note must be accounted for as a derivative instrument, these warrants must also be accounted for as derivative instruments. As a result of entering into the convertible promissory note described above, all other non-employee warrants issued by the Company must also be classified and accounted for as derivative financial instruments.

SYSOREX GLOBAL HOLDINGS CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011



Note 10 - Secured Convertible Note Payable (continued)


Generally accepted accounting principles require that:


a)

Derivative financial instruments be recorded at their fair value on the date of issuance and then adjusted to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date with any change in fair value reported in the statement of operations; and


b)

The classification of derivative financial instruments be reassessed as of each balance sheet date and, if appropriate, be reclassified as a result of events during the reporting period then ended.


The fair value of the embedded conversion feature and the warrants, $244,500 and $17,700, respectively, aggregated $262,200.  Consequently, upon issuance of the Note, a debt discount of $200,000 was recorded and the difference of $62,200, representing the fair value of the conversion feature and the warrants in excess of the debt discount, was immediately charged to interest expense.  The debt discount will be amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.


The fair value of the embedded conversion feature and the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Key assumptions used to apply this pricing model during the year ended December 31, 2012 were as follows:


Risk-free interest rate

0.3%

Expected life of option grants

0.5 to 2.0 years

Expected volatility of underlying stock

39%


The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options was determined by the historical volatilities for industry peers and used an average of those volatilities.  Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods.


During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company repaid $95,000 of the principal balance due and reclassified $116,097 of the derivative liability to additional paid-in capital.  This note payable was paid in full during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.


Note 11 - Preferred Stock


The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share with rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions as to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.  There were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.


Note 12 - Common Stock


The Company is authorized to issue up to 40,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.  Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on matters submitted to a vote of the common shareholders as prescribed by the By-Laws of the Company.


On April 1, 2011, the Company issued 1,135,781 shares of common stock to an affiliated company with common ownership prior to the reverse merger for the settlement of $1,176,000 of advances payable.


On July 29, 2011 and immediately prior to the reverse merger, Sysorex Federal, Inc. issued 3,805,252 shares of common stock to an affiliated entity with common ownership prior to the reverse merger for the conversion of preferred stock and forgiveness of accrued dividends.

The fair value of each employee option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Key weighted-average assumptions used to apply this pricing model during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 were as follows:


 

2012

 

2011

 

 

 

 

Risk-free interest rate

0.7% to 1.8%

 

0.2% to 0.8%

Expected life of option grants

10 years

 

2 to 5 years

Expected volatility of underlying stock

39.7% to 41.6%

 

100%


The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options was determined by the historical volatilities for industry peers and used an average of those volatilities.  The Company attributes the value of stock-based compensation to operations on the straight-line single option method.  Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had approximately $4.4 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of U.S. federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers available to offset future taxable income. These net operating losses, which, if not utilized, begin expiring in the year 2019. In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, deductibility of the Company’s net operating loss carryover may be subject to an annual limitation in the event of a change of control, as defined by the regulations. The Company performed a preliminary evaluation as to whether a change of control has taken place and concluded that Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. experienced a change of ownership upon the completion of the reverse merger transaction in July 2011. It is estimated that Softlead’s NOLs are subject to an annual limitation of $330,520 for NOLs generated up through the date of the reverse merger in July 2011.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had approximately $400,000 and $218,000 respectively of Saudi Arabian net operating loss carryovers available to offset future taxable income. However, only 25% of taxable income in any given year may be offset by the Company’s NOL carryovers.


No provision was made for U.S. or foreign taxes on the undistributed earnings of Sysorex Arabia, as such earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested. Such earnings have been, and will continue to be, reinvested, but could become subject to additional tax, if they were remitted as dividends, loaned to the Company, or if the Company should sell its stock in Sysorex Arabia. It is not practicable to determine the amount of additional tax, if any, that might be payable on the undistributed foreign earnings.


Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers, whether it is “more likely than not”, that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible.


ASC 740, “Income Taxes” requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is “more likely than not” that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. After consideration of all the information available, Management believes that uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of its deferred tax assets and has, therefore, established a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.


ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.  ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.


The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits is to record such interest and penalties as interest expense and as a component of selling, general and administrative expense, respectively.  There were no amounts accrued for interest or penalties for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  Management does not expect any material changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.

Note 17 - Fair Value


The Company determines the estimated fair value of amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange between buyer and seller. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. These fair value estimates were based upon pertinent information available as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and, as of those dates, the carrying value of all amounts approximates fair value.


The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities at fair value based upon the following fair value hierarchy:


·

Level 1 - Inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

·

Level 2 - Inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

·

Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.


In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.


Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that are classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category presented in the tables below may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in historical company data) inputs.


The following are the major categories of assets were measured at fair value during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of derivative liabilities associated with the convertible debt that contains an indeterminable conversion share price and the tainted warrants as the Company cannot determine if it will have sufficient authorized common stock to settle such arrangements.


Assumptions utilized in the development of Level 3 liabilities as of and during the year ended December 31, 2012 are described in Note 10.

Note 18 - Credit Risk and Concentrations


Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.


The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. Cash is also maintained at a foreign financial institution for its majority-owned subsidiary. The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from cash.


During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company earned revenues from three different customers representing approximately 50%, 20%, and 14% of gross sales.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company earned revenues from two different customers representing approximately 44% and 30% of gross sales.  


As of December 31, 2012, four customers represented approximately 50%, 20%, 12% and 10% of total accounts receivable.  As of December 31, 2011, four customers represented approximately 22%, 22%, 21% and 18% of total gross accounts receivable.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011



Note 20 - Commitments and Contingencies


Operating Leases


The Company leases its office space under non-cancelable operating leases that expire through October 2013. The total amount of rent payable under the leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, deferred rent payable was immaterial. Rental expense under the operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $50,043 and $44,137, respectively.


The minimal annual lease payments through October 2013 is approximately $23,000.


Litigation


Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.


If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.


Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.


During the year ended December 31, 2011, a judgment in the amount of $936,330 was levied against Sysorex Arabia LLC in favor of Creative Edge, Inc. in connection with amounts advanced for operations.  Of that amount, $214,187 has been repaid, $514,836 will be paid through a surety bond, and the remaining $207,313 has been accrued by Sysorex Arabia as of December 31, 2012.  There was no effect upon the statement of operations in connection with this transaction.


During the year ended December 31, 2011, a judgment in the amount of $613,333 was levied against Sysorex Arabia LLC in favor of one of its vendors (Tuwaiq) in connection with a dispute related to a services contract.  However, this vendor owed Sysorex Arabia LLC a like amount in connection with the same services contract. In 2012 the balances were offset, the accounts were settled, and the judgment was released.


During the year ended December 31, 2011, a judgment in the amount of $95,983 in favor of one of the Company’s vendors was settled.  Sysorex had disagreed with the amount of the judgment and had accrued $53,983 on the books for the amounts owed.  A settlement payment of $11,000 was made and the related gain of $42,983 was recorded in other income.


During the year ended December 31, 2011, a judgment in the amount of $39,128 in favor of one of the Company’s vendors was settled with a payment of $10,585 and the related gain of $28,543 was recorded in other income.


Defined Contribution Pension Plan


The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan (“The Plan”) covering all of its eligible employees after their completion of six months of service and upon attaining the age of 21.  The Plan provides that employees can contribute a percentage of their compensation limited to amounts prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, adjusted annually.  Matching contributions are made at the discretion of management.  No employer-matching contributions were made to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Statutory Reserve


In accordance with local laws, Sysorex Arabia LLC is required to pay 10% of its net income every year to a statutory reserve account until the balance reaches 50% of its stock capital.  This statutory reserve is not applicable for distribution.  The Company is obligated to deposit an aggregate of $266,667 into that account based upon its stock capital and, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company has not made any deposits into that account as it is not profitable.


End of Service Indemnity Provision


In accordance with local labor laws, Sysorex Arabia LLC is required to accrue benefits payable to the employees of the Company at the end of their services with the Company. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has accrued approximately $41,680 and $171,000, respectively.


Quasi-Reorganization


On June 30, 2009, Sysorex Government Services, Inc., in connection with the Company’s expansion into the government services industry, performed a deficit reclassification quasi-reorganization whereby $2,441,960 of the Corporation’s accumulated deficit was reduced by a transfer from the Corporation’s additional paid in capital. Therefore, the Sysorex Government Services’ portion of Retained Earnings on the balance sheet are those Retained Earnings accumulated since July 1, 2009.


Note 21 - Subsequent Events


Business Finance Agreement


On March 15, 2013, Sysorex Government Services, Inc., and Lilien Systems, 100% owned subsidiaries of Sysorex Global Holdings, Inc., entered into a Business Finance Agreement (the “Agreement”) as co-borrowers (the “Borrowers”) with Bridge Bank, NA (the “Bank”) under which the Borrowers obtained a revolving line of credit for up to $5,000,000 through March 15, 2015.  Terms of this agreement include compliance with certain debt covenants, interest at the greater of 5.25%, or the Bank’s prime rate, plus 2%, and repayment of any outstanding principal balance as of March 15, 2015.


On March 20, 2013, the Borrowers received $4,175,000 under this Agreement to finance the acquisition of Lilien described below.

On March 20, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Merger Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire certain assets and liabilities of Lilien LLC and 100% of the stock of Lilien Systems (collectively referred hereafter as “Lilien”) effective as of March 1, 2013.  Lilien is an information technology company whose operations complement and significantly expands the Company’s current base of business.


The purchase price of this acquisition aggregated $9,000,000 and consisted of cash of $3,000,000, and 6,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock deemed to have a fair value of $6,000,000. The cash consideration of $3,000,000 was obtained by the Company through a borrowing under a credit facility entered into jointly by Sysorex Government Services, Inc. and Lilien Systems concurrently with and for the express purpose of consummating that acquisition. Total costs incurred for the Lilien acquisition were $907,865.


Additionally, under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is liable to the Former members of Lilien LLC for the payment of additional cash consideration on March 20, 2015 to the extent that they receive less than $1.00 per share from the sale of the 6,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock referred to above (the "Guaranteed Amount"), less customary commissions, on or before March 20, 2015 provided the Stockholders are in compliance with the terms and conditions of the lock-up agreement. On that date, the Former Lilien Members shall have an option to put all, but not less than all, of any unsold shares of Sysorex common stock to Sysorex, for the price of $1.00 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the gross profits for calendar 2013 and 2014 attributable to the Lilien assets are more than 20% below what was forecasted to the Company, the Guaranteed Amount will be proportionately reduced.  As of the date of the acquisition the guaranteed amount was de minimis.

Note 21 - Subsequent Events (continued)


Acquisition of Lilien LLC (continued)


The acquisition of Lilien was accounted for by the Company under the purchase method of accounting whereby assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition and the results of operations of the acquired company are consolidated with those of the Company from the date of acquisition.  The Company deemed the quoted market prices for those shares not to be a reliable measurement method due to the very limited trading activity in such securities.


The purchase price is allocated as follows:

The asset purchase agreement included a provision for an adjustment to working capital as of the closing date of the transaction.  This is the amount due to Sysorex for that adjustment, however, this amount is subject to continuing negotiation.

(B)

Prepaid licenses/contracts are payments made by the Company directly to the manufacturer for the third party maintenance services and are being amortized over the life of the contract.

(C)

The trade name/trademarks and customer relationships are identifiable intangible assets that are being amortized over their useful life of 7 years.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Members of

Lilien LLC and Subsidiary


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lilien LLC and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lilien LLC and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

LILIEN LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011



Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business


Lilien LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on April 7, 2006 having a perpetual existence. Lilien LLC’s wholly owned subsidiary Lilien Systems (“the Company” “Lilien”) was formed on January 1, 1994 in the State of California. The Company provides information technology solutions services to organizations to reach their next level of business advantage. These services include enterprise computing and storage, virtualization, business continuity, networking and information technology business consulting services.  The Company is headquartered in California and has offices in Washington State, Oregon and Hawaii.


Effective March 1, 2013 and as more fully described in Note 9, certain assets and liabilities of Lilien LLC, and 100% of the stock of Lilien Systems were acquired by Sysorex Global Holdings Corp.


Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Company’s significant estimates are the valuation of stock-based compensation and allowance for doubtful accounts.


Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, checking accounts, money market accounts and temporary investments, with maturities of three months or less when purchased.


Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts


Accounts receivables are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect.  The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts receivables are not overstated due to uncollectibility.  Bad debt reserves are maintained for various customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience.  An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings, or deterioration in the customers’ operating results or financial position.  If circumstances related to customers change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted.  The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 or its provision for doubtful accounts for the years then ended was not material.


Advances to Employees


From time to time advances have been given to employees towards their compensation by the Company. These advances are repayable on demand by the Company. The Company considers establishing an allowance for uncollectible amounts to reflect the amount of loss that can be reasonably estimated by management which is included as part of the compensation in the consolidate statements of operations. Determination of the estimated amount of uncollectible loans includes consideration of the amount of credit extended, the employment status and the length of time each receivable has been outstanding, as it relates to each individual employee. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company’s has not established an allowance for any potential non-collection.   




F-49



LILIEN LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011



Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Inventory


Inventory consisting primarily of finished goods is stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The Company continually analyzes its slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories.  Based on historical and projected sales volumes and anticipated selling prices, the Company establishes reserves.  If the Company does not meet its sales expectations, these reserves are increased.  Products that are determined to be obsolete are written down to net realizable value.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company deemed any such allowance nominal.


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  The Company depreciates its property and equipment for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 7 years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset, or the initial lease term.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the economic useful life of the related assets, are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures, which extend the economic life, are capitalized.  When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposal is recognized.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, when there are indications that the assets might be impaired. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows.  If an asset’s carrying value exceeds such estimated cash flows (discounted and with interest charges), the Company records an impairment charge for the difference. Based on its assessments, the Company did not incur any impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.


Income Taxes


Lilien LLC is organized as a limited liability company and, accordingly, is a “pass through” entity for federal and state income tax purposes whereby the income of Lilien LLC is taxed at the member level.  Lilien Systems Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Lilien LLC, is organized as a “C-corporation” for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the provisions for income taxes and all deferred tax balances in these financial statements are attributable exclusively to Lilien Systems.


Lilien Systems accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method.  Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.


The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Income tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained.  A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all, or a portion of  deferred tax assets will not be realized.


Lilien Systems operates on a break-even basis and there are no current or historical net operating losses or differences between the book and tax basis of assets, or liabilities.  Consequently, no provisions for income taxes were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Furthermore, there were no deferred tax balances as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.


The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a return. Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Lilien, as a reseller of third-party manufactured products, maintenance, and services, recognizes the revenue on sales of products (software and hardware) and maintenance agreements once four criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the price is fixed and determinable, (3) delivery (software and hardware) or fulfillment (maintenance) has occurred, and (4) there is reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. Revenues from the sales of hardware products, software products, licenses, and maintenance agreements are recognized on a gross basis in accordance with applicable standards with the selling price to the customer recorded as sales and the acquisition cost of the product recorded as cost of sales.


Lilien records revenues from sales of third-party products in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-45 Principal Agent Consideration” (ASC 605-45”). Furthermore, in accordance with ASC 605-45, Lilien evaluates sales on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the transaction should be recorded gross or net, including but not limited to assessing whether or not Lilien: 1) acts as principal in the transaction, 2) takes title to the products, and 3) has risks and rewards of ownership, such as the risk of loss for collection, delivery, or returns. The Company did not record any revenues on a net basis for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.


Lilien enters into sales transactions whereby customer orders contain multiple deliverable, and reports its multiple deliverable arrangements under ASC 605-25 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“ASC-605-25”). These multiple deliverable arrangements primarily consist of the following deliverables: third-party computer hardware, third-party software, third-party hardware and software maintenance (a.k.a. support), and third-party services.  From time to time the personnel of Lilien were contracted to perform installation and services for the customer.  In situations where Lilien bundles all or a portion of the separate elements, Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) is determined based on prices when sold separately. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 revenues recognized as a result of customer contracts requiring the delivery of multiple elements was $25,835,031 and $21,743,176 respectively.


Product delivery to customers occur in a variety of ways, including (i) as physical product shipped from the Company’s warehouse, (ii) via drop-shipment by the vendor, or (iii) via electronic delivery for software licenses. The Company leverages drop-ship arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouse, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs. Furthermore, in such drop-ship arrangements, the Company negotiates price with the customer, pays the supplier directly for the product shipped and bears credit risk of collecting payment from its customers. The Company serves as the principal with the customer and, therefore, recognizes the sale and cost of sale of the product upon receiving notification from the supplier that the product has shipped.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Revenue Recognition (continued)


Maintenance agreements allow customers to obtain technical support directly from the manufacturer and to upgrade, at no additional cost, to the latest technology if new software updates are introduced during the period that the maintenance agreement is in effect. Revenue derived from maintenance contracts primarily consists of the sale of third-party maintenance contracts by Lilien, whereby Lilien acts as the principal and the primary obligor in the transaction. Typically, Lilien sells third-party maintenance contracts for a separate fee with initial contractual periods ranging from one to three years with renewal for additional periods thereafter. Lilien generally bills maintenance fees in advance. Lilien recognizes maintenance revenue ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement. In situations where Lilien bundles all or a portion of the maintenance fee with products, VSOE for maintenance is determined based on prices when sold separately.


Lilien recognizes revenue for sales of Lilien-performed services ratably over the time period over which the service will be provided. Billings for such services that are made in advance of the related revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the billing coverage period.  For service engagements that are on a time and materials basis, revenues are recognized based upon hours incurred as services are performed and amounts are earned.  Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, and returns. Vendor rebates and price protection are recorded when earned as a reduction to cost of sales or merchandise inventory, as applicable.  Vendor product price discounts are recorded when earned as a reduction to cost of sales.  Vendor product sales volume and growth incentive rebates based on total Company quarterly sales are recorded when earned as other income.


Cooperative reimbursements from vendors, which are earned and available, are recorded in the period the related advertising expenditure is incurred. Cooperative reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of cost of sales in accordance with ASC Topic 605-50 “Accounting by a Customer (including reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor.” Provisions for returns are estimated based on historical sales returns and credit memo analysis which are adjusted to actual on a periodic basis.  The Company receives Marketing Development Funds (MDF) from vendors based on quarterly sales performance to promote the marketing of vendor products and services. The Company must file claims with vendors for these cooperative reimbursements by providing invoices and receipts for marketing expenses.  Reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of marketing expenses and other applicable selling, general and administrative expenses in the period in which the expenses were incurred.


Equity-Based Compensation


The Company reports stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment (“SBP”) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights.  Under ASC 718, SBP awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest.  


The Company incurred a stock-based compensation charge net of estimated forfeitures for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 of 84,461 and 10,239, respectively. These charges have been included as a component of compensation in the consolidated statements of operations.


Allocation of Income (Loss) and Distributions


Net income or losses of the Company are allocated to the members in proportion to the number of units and days each unit is held.  Profits are allocated to all members in accordance with their percentage interests. Members are entitled to cash distributions, at the discretion of the Company in accordance with their percentage interests as defined in the operating agreement.


Losses are allocated until all common members and working members’ capital accounts have been reduced to zero at which point no further allocation shall be made to the member or members with zero capital account balances. Thereafter allocations of net losses shall continue in proportion to the percentage interests of those members with positive capital accounts until the next member’s capital account balance is reduced to zero, and continuing in the same manner until the capital accounts of all working members and common members have been reduced to zero.


Shipping and Handling Costs


Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred as part of cost of revenues. These costs were deemed to be nominal during each of the reporting periods.

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has reported distributions of 646,800 and 663,480, respectively, to its members for their interest percentage, as defined in the operating agreement.   


Common Units


The Company is authorized to issue up to 600,000 Common Units in exchange for capital contributions in the form of cash or property.  Each Common Unit has the right to one vote on all matters and to proportionately participate in all allocations of profits and losses as well as distributions of capital of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement dated July 1, 2006.

On June 12, 2012, the Company redeemed 30,000 Common Units at 7.27 per unit for a total of 218,100.


As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has issued and outstanding 534,000 and 564,000 common units, respectively.


Working Units


The Company is authorized to issue up to 175,000 Working Units to employees without the requirement of capital contributions as an equity-based incentive for their efforts on behalf of the Company, subject to approval by and any vesting schedule deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors.


Each Working Unit has the right to one vote on all matters and to proportionately participate in all allocations of profits and losses as well as distributions of capital of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement dated July 1, 2006.  However, Working Units are only entitled to participate in the appreciation of the value of the Company from their date of issuance.  Holders of unvested Working Units are entitled to all rights associated with vested Working Units with respect to voting, access to information, and participation in the affairs of the Company.


The working units vest as follows upon issuance, all working units are unvested units; on the 12 month anniversary after the issuance of the units, 25% of the issued units will vest and quarterly thereafter, an additional 6.25% of the issued units will vest.  Upon the occurrence of a termination event to a working member, any unvested units are immediately and automatically forfeited, without payment of consideration or repurchase price. The working units are redeemable at the option of the Company and accordingly, have been classified as equity.


On January 1, 2012, the Company issued 42,000 Working Units Series B when the Company was valued at 5.89 per unit.


As of December 31, 2012, Working Units in the amounts of 9,911 and 42,000 are entitled to participate in the appreciation of the value of the Company from the thresholds of 5.62 and 5.89 per unit, respectively, corresponding with the per unit values of the Company upon their dates of issuance.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the calculated fair value of the redemption amount would be approximately 96,540 and 12,079 respectively.


Note 8 - Credit Risk and Concentrations


Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.


The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits.


During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company earned revenues from two different customers representing approximately 10%, and 8% of gross sales.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company earned revenues from two different customers representing approximately 11% and 11% of gross sales.

Litigation


Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.


If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.


Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.


Defined Contribution Pension Plan


The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan (“The Plan”) covering all of its eligible employees after their completion of three months of service and upon attaining the age of 21.  The Plan provides that employees can contribute a percentage of their compensation limited to amounts prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, adjusted annually.  Matching contributions are made at the discretion of management.  No employer-matching contributions were made to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.


Employment Agreement


In connection with the sale of the Company effective March 1, 2013 the Company has entered into employment agreements with certain key employees of the Company. The agreements provides for minimum annual salaries, bonus at the discretion of the Company, and indemnification. The employment agreements carry certain restrictive covenants not to compete which expire on March 1, 2014.

ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.


The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that we may indemnify our officers and directors against losses or liabilities which arise in their corporate capacity. The effect of these provisions could be to dissuade lawsuits against our officers and directors.


The Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.7502 provides that:


1.) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) Is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) Acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.


2.) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) Is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) Acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.


3). To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.


The Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.751 provides that:


1). Any discretionary indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Section 78.751 subsection 2; may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances.  The determination must be made: (a) By the stockholders; (b) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or



II-1





proceeding; (c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.


2). The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.


3). The indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section: (a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to NRS 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 2, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action, and, (b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.


Our Corporate By-Laws at Article X, provide that the Corporation has accepted a provision indemnifying to the full extent permitted by the law, thereby eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, officers, employees or corporate agents for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, but such provision must not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for (a) Acts or omissions involving willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud, or knowing violation of law; or (b) the payments of distributions in violation of Nevada Revised Statute 78.300.


INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 MAY BE PERMITTED TO OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND CONTROLLING PERSONS PURSUANT TO THE FORGOING PROVISIONS OR OTHERWISE, WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT, IN THE OPINION OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, SUCH INDEMNIFICATION IS AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY AS EXPRESSED IN THAT ACT AND IS, THEREFORE, UNENFORCEABLE.

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:


(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;


(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;


(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.


(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.


(5) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:  The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:


(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);


(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;


(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and


(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.


(6) (i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.  




II-5





(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the Underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

FORM OF

 

LOCK-UP/LEAK-OUT AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 

This LOCK-UP/LEAK-OUT AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of this ___ day of March, 2013, by and among Sysorex Global Holdings Corp., a Nevada corporation (together with its successors and assigns, “Sysorex”); and _________, a former member of Lilien, LLC (“Former Lilien Member”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H :

 

WHEREAS , Sysorex has agreed to acquire from Lilien, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lilien”), substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Lilien, including, 100% ownership of Lilien Systems, a California corporation (“Lilien Systems”) through a merger of Sysorex’s wholly-owned subsidiary Sysorex Acquisition Corporation, a California corporation with and into Lilien Systems (the “Merger”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Merger Agreement effective March 1, 2013 and entered into on March 1, 2013 by and between Lilien and Sysorex (the “Purchase Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, Lilien will receive 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock of Sysorex (the “Shares”) as consideration for the Merger, of which      _____________ Shares are to be granted to the Former Lilien Member pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS , pursuant to Section 2.02(A)(c)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement the Former Lilien Member has agreed not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Shares, except as set forth in this Agreement and Sysorex has agreed to register all of the Shares as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the foregoing and the terms, conditions and mutual covenants appearing in this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.      Lock-Up and Leak-Out Provisions

 

(a)     The sale of the Shares shall be according to the following schedule:

 

(i)     Beginning on the closing date of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Date”) and for six (6) months thereafter, the Former Lilien Member may not sell any Shares (the “Initial Lock-up Period”);

 

(ii)     From the expiration of the Initial Lock-up Period until the date the Registration Statement (as defined below) is declared effective (the “Effective Date”), the Former Lilien Member shall be permitted to sell as many Shares as permitted under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); and  

 

 
 

 

 

(iii)     For a period of six (6) months from the Effective Date, the Former Lilien Member may not sell any Shares (the “IPO Lock-Up”). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Former Lilien Member may sell up to $1,000,000 of his Shares as part of a secondary offering by Sysorex, subject to an underwriter’s limitations on the manner of sale.

 

(b)     All sales of Shares pursuant to Section 1(a) shall be by means of “in-the-market” transactions. “In the market” shall mean a sale made in the over-the-counter market, any subsequent primary trading market, or customary trading channels.

 

(c)     Any sales of Shares by the Former Lilien Member in violation of this Agreement shall constitute an event of default under the Agreement, and the Guaranty provisions of Section 2.02 (B) of the Purchase Agreement (the “Price Protection”) with respect to those specific Shares only shall be null and void, but the Price Protection shall remain in effect for any other Shares.

 

(d)     The Former Lilien Member further agrees that he will forward to Sysorex all monthly brokerage statements reflecting any sale of Shares within twenty (20) calendar days after the end of each month. In the event such statements are not then available, the Former Lilien Member shall forward to Sysorex copies of all confirmation tickets for the prior month’s sales.

 

(e)     Shares shall not at any time be used to cover “short” sales of Sysorex common stock.

 

SECTION 2.      Registration Rights

 

(a)     Sysorex, at its cost and expense, will use its best efforts to (A) prepare and file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement with respect to the Shares issued to the Former Lilien Member hereunder (the “ Registration Statement ”), (B) cause the Registration Statement to become effective (the date on which it is declared effective, the “Effective Date”) as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, and (C) maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) the disposition of all of the remaining Shares by the Former Lilien Member, or (ii) the date when all Shares held by the Former Lilien Member can be sold without restriction under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sysorex shall:

 

(i)     Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the Registration Statement.

 

(ii)     Furnish to the Former Lilien Member such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as he may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Shares owned by him.  

 

 
 

 

 

(iii)     Notify the Former Lilien Member at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing or causing the suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or sales of such Shares thereunder.

 

(iv)     Cause all such Shares registered pursuant to the Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Sysorex are then listed, which shall be effective on or before the effective date of the Registration Statement.

 

(v)     Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Shares registered pursuant hereto and a CUSIP number for all such Shares, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.

 

(b)     Sysorex shall bear all expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the registration and qualification of the Shares. The Former Lilien Member shall solely be responsible for sales commissions which shall not count toward the Sysorex guaranty of the Former Lilien Member’s pro rata share of $6,000,000 of net proceeds as set forth in Section 2.02(B) of the Purchase Agreement and in the Guaranty Agreement dated the date hereof. The Former Lilien Member shall cooperate with Sysorex in the preparation, filing and process of securing the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and shall furnish to Sysorex such information relating to the Former Lilien Member and such further and supplemental information as may be necessary or as may be reasonably requested by Sysorex for use in the Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto. Sysorex will advise the Former Lilien Member of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, of the issuance of any stop order with respect to the effectiveness thereof, of the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose. In the event that, either before or after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Former Lilien Member shall distribute Shares to his family members, he shall so advise Sysorex and provide such information as shall be necessary to permit an amendment to the Registration Statement to provide information with respect to such family members, as selling security holders. Promptly following receipt of such information, Sysorex shall file an appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement reflecting the information so provided.

 

(c)     With a view to making available to the Former Lilien Member the benefits of Rule 144(b)(1)(i) promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Former Lilien Member to sell the Shares to the public without registration, Sysorex shall use its best efforts to:

 

(i)     file a registration statement with the SEC to register its Common Stock under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) by April 30, 2013;  

 

 
 

 

 

(ii)     make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times so long as Sysorex remains subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

 

(iii)     file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Sysorex under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

 

(iv)     furnish to the Former Lilien Member, so long as the Former Lilien Member own any Shares, forthwith upon request (1) a written statement by Sysorex that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (2) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of Sysorex and such other reports and documents so filed by Sysorex and (3) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing the Former Lilien Member of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration.  

  

(d)     To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Sysorex will indemnify the Former Lilien Member, and each person controlling Lilien or under common control of the Former Lilien Member, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to any registration effected pursuant this Section 2, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) made in such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by Sysorex of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to Sysorex or the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange or quotation system where Sysorex’s equity securities are listed and relating to action or inaction required of Sysorex in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse the Former Lilien Member for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action.

 

(e)     To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Former Lilien Member will indemnify Sysorex against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact made by the Former Lilien Member contained in the Registration Statement, or any prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated by the Former Lilien Member therein or necessary to make the statements by the Former Lilien Member therein not misleading, and will reimburse Sysorex for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action.  

 

 
 

 

 

(f)     Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2(f) (the “ Section 2(f) Indemnified Party ”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “ Section 2(f) Indemnifying Party ”) promptly after such Section 2(f) Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Section 2(f) Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided , that counsel for the Section 2(f) Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Section 2(f) Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the Section 2(f) Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense (unless the Section 2(f) Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may exist a material conflict of interest between the Section 2(f) Indemnifying Party and the Section 2(f) Indemnified Party in such action, in which case the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Section 2(f) Indemnifying Party), and provided, further, that the failure of any Section 2(f) Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Section 2(f) Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Section 2(f) Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. No Section 2(f) Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except with the consent of each Section 2(f) Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not release such Section 2(f) Indemnified Party from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Section 2(f) Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question and such other support as any Section 2(f) Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

 

(g)     If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2(g) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to a Section 2(f) Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Section 2(f) Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Section 2(f) Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable to such Section 2(f) Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Section 2(f) Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Section 2(f) Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Section 2(f) Indemnifying Party and of the Section 2(f) Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue (or alleged untrue) statement of a material fact or the omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Section 2(f) Indemnifying Party or by the Section 2(f) Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

(h)     For not more than thirty (30) consecutive days or for a total of not more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period, Sysorex may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning Sysorex, by suspending the use of any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) prepared in connection with any registration to be effected pursuant this Section 2(h) containing such information, if, upon advice of counsel, such action is reasonably necessary to avoid a violation of any federal or state securities Laws and cause a potential material liability to Parent (an “ Allowed Delay ”); provided, that Sysorex shall promptly (1) notify the Former Lilien Member in writing of the existence of material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (2) advise the Former Lilien Member in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (3) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.  

 

 
 

 

 

SECTION 3.      If Sysorex merges or consolidates with any other entity, or if Sysorex sells all or substantially all of its assets, then, at the request and option of a representative of the Former Lilien Member, at the option of each Former Lilien Member, either Sysorex will purchase the remaining Shares held by such Former Lilien Member pursuant to this Agreement at a purchase price equal to $1.00 per share or the Former Lilien Member will receive his or her respective Shares or any proceeds or stock to which they would be entitled as Sysorex stockholders and the Guaranty shall terminate.

 

SECTION 4.      The parties acknowledge that their breach or impending violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement may cause irreparable damage to the other party for which remedies at law would be inadequate. Each party therefore agrees that the other party shall be entitled to a decree or order by any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining such impending or actual violation of any of such provisions. Such decree or order, to the extent appropriate, shall specifically enforce the full performance of any such provision by the breaching or potentially breaching party, and each of the parties hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any such court of competent jurisdiction, state or federal, sitting in the State of California. This remedy shall be in addition to all other remedies available to the parties at law or equity. If any portion of this Section 4 is adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, this Section 4 shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom the portion so adjudicated, such deletion to apply only with respect to the operation of this Section 4 in the jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

 

SECTION 5.      Subject to Section 8 hereunder, this Agreement shall insure to the benefit of and be binding upon Sysorex, its successors and assigns, and upon the Former Lilien Member, his heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and legal representatives.

 

SECTION 6.      Should any part of this Agreement, for any reason whatsoever, be declared invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced in whole or in part, such decision shall not affect the validity of any remaining portion, which remaining portion shall remain in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with the invalid portion thereof eliminated, and it is hereby declared the intention of the parties hereto that they would have executed the remaining portion of this Agreement without including therein any portion which may for any reason be declared invalid.

 

SECTION 7.      This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements made and to be performed in such State without application of the principles of conflicts of laws of such State.

 

SECTION 8.      This Agreement and all rights hereunder are personal to the parties and shall not be assignable, and any purported assignments in violation thereof shall be null and void.

 

SECTION 9.      (a) All notices, requests, consents, and demands by the parties hereunder shall be delivered by hand, recognized national overnight courier or by deposit in the United States Mail, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the party to be notified at the address set forth below:

FORM OF

 

GUARANTY AGREEMENT  

 

 

GUARANTY AGREEMENT (the “Guaranty”) dated as of March __, 2013 (the “Closing Date”) by and among Sysorex Global Holdings Corp., a Nevada corporation, having an address at 3375 Scott Blvd., Suite 440, Santa Clara, California 94054 (together with its successors and assigns, “Sysorex”) and _________________, (“Former Lilien Member”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H :

 

WHEREAS , Sysorex has agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Lilien, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, including the capital stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lilien Systems (together, “Lilien”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Merger Agreement effective and entered into on March 1, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between Lilien and Sysorex. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Purchase Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, Lilien has agreed to exchange all of the capital stock of Lilien Systems in consideration of the issuance of an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock of Sysorex (the “Sysorex Distributed Shares”) to be distributed to the Former Lilien Member and other members of Lilien pursuant to the Purchase Agreement;

 

WHEREAS , pursuant to Section 2.02(A)(c)(i) of the Purchase Agreement, Sysorex will transfer to the Former Lilien Member __________ of the Sysorex Distributed Shares (the “Guaranteed Shares”);

 

WHEREAS , pursuant to 2.02(A)(c)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement, the Former Lilien Member has entered into a Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement (the “Lock-Up/Leak-Out”) under which the Former Lilien Member has agreed to not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Guaranteed Shares except as specified in the Lock-Up/Leak-Out; and

 

WHEREAS , pursuant to Section 2.02(B) of the Purchase Agreement, Sysorex has guaranteed the amount of the Guaranteed Proceeds (as defined in Section 2.02(B)(i)) from the sale of the Guaranteed Shares when sold pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lock-Up/Leak-Out and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Guaranty and subject to the Claw-back, described below.

 

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the foregoing and the terms, conditions and mutual covenants appearing in this Guaranty, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

Section 1.

 

(a)     If all of the Guaranteed Shares are sold pursuant to the Lock-Up/Leak-Out and the terms and conditions of this Guaranty by the end of the Guaranty Period (defined in Section 2.02(B)(ii)) then Sysorex shall pay to the Former Lilien Member the difference between $1.00 per Guaranteed Share and the cumulative price for which Former Lilien Member sells all of the Guaranteed Shares, less customary commissions (“Guaranteed Proceeds”).  

 

 
 

 

 

Section 2.

 

(a)     A Shortfall in the Guaranteed Proceeds shall be calculated at: the earlier of (A) (24) months from the Closing Date, or (B) the sale of all of the Guaranteed Shares (the “Guaranty Period”). For purposes of this Guaranty, a “Shortfall” is defined as the difference between the Guaranteed Proceeds and the actual cumulative proceeds the Former Lilien Member receives from the sale of all of the Guaranteed Shares. At the end of the Guaranty Period, if the Former Lilien Member is unable to sell any Shares, such Former Lilien Member shall have an option for a ten (10)-day period commencing at the end of the Guaranty Period, to put all, but not less than all, of such Former Lilien Member’s unsold Guaranteed Shares to Sysorex, for the purchase price of $1.00 per unsold Guaranteed Share. Payment by Sysorex shall be due in full within 120 days from the receipt of the put Guaranteed Shares. To the extent any Guaranteed Shares are not sold by the Former Lilien Member prior to the end of the Guaranty Period and have not been put to Sysorex for repurchase as discussed above, the Guaranty shall not apply to such unsold Guaranteed Shares.

 

(b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing Guaranty by Sysorex, in the event the gross profit for the calendar years ending December 31, 2013 and 2014, attributed to the Business Assets (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) are more than twenty (20%) percent below the Forecast attached hereto as Exhibit A , the Guaranty shall be proportionately reduced (the “Claw-Back”). By way of example, in the event the gross profit attributed to the Business Assets for the fiscal year ended either December 31, 2013 or 2014, is 50% less than the projected amount set forth in Exhibit A , the Guaranty shall be reduced to $0.50 per Guaranteed Share (in the aggregate, $3,000,000 for all of the Sysorex Distributed Shares subject to this Guaranty or similar guaranties).

 

(c)     Former Lilien Member shall prepare and deliver to Sysorex within one month after the end of the expiration of the Guaranty Period a cumulative statement, supported by documentation reflecting all sales of Guaranteed Shares by him, if not previously provided, and stating the amount, if any, to be paid by Sysorex to him pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty, subject to the Claw-Back.

 

(d)     In the event that Former Lilien Member offers, sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of the Guaranteed Shares in violation of the Lock-Up/Leak-Out, without the prior written consent of Sysorex, the Guaranty shall not apply to the proceeds received from such sale and the Guaranty for that Former Lilien Member (not joint and several with other former Lilien Members) shall from that time be null and void.

 

Section 3.      Subject to Section 6 hereunder, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Sysorex, its successors and assigns, and upon the Former Lilien Members, their heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and representatives.

 

Section 4.      Should any part of this Guaranty, for any reason whatsoever, be declared invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced in whole or in part, such decision shall not affect the validity of any remaining portion, which remaining portion shall remain in full force and effect as if this Guaranty had been executed with the invalid portion thereof eliminated, and it is hereby declared the intention of the parties hereto that they would have executed the remaining portion of this Guaranty without including therein any portion which may for any reason be declared invalid.  

 

 
 

 

 

Section 5.      This Guaranty shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements made and to be performed in such State without application of the principles of conflicts of laws of such State.

 

Section 6.      This Guaranty and all rights hereunder are personal to the parties and shall not be assignable, and any purported assignment in violation thereof shall be null and void.

 

Section 7.

 

(a)     All notices, requests, consents, and demands by the parties hereunder shall be delivered by hand, recognized national overnight courier or by deposit in the United States Mail postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the party to be notified at the address set forth below:

Section 8.      In the event that Sysorex fails to make a payment for a Shortfall in the Guaranteed Proceeds in accordance with Section 2 hereof within thirty (30) days after such payment is due, Sysorex shall be in default under this Guaranty with respect to such payment (“Default Payment”). Upon such default by Sysorex, the Former Lilien Members shall be entitled to recover the aggregate Shortfall entirely in cash and may declare a default under the Purchase Agreement and pursue all remedies to which they are entitled to the extent necessary to relieve such default. This Guaranty shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. The failure of any party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Guaranty shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of future compliance therewith, and said terms, conditions and provisions shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any term or any condition of this Guaranty on the part of any party shall be effective for any purpose whatsoever unless such waiver is in writing and signed by such party.

FORM OF

 

BILL OF SALE, ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

 

 

This BILL OF SALE, ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (the “ Bill of Sale ”), dated as of March ____, 2013, is by and between Lilien, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”) and Sysorex Global Holdings Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Buyer”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as set forth in the APAMA (as defined below).

 

WITNESSETH

 

WHEREAS, the Buyer and Seller are parties to an Asset Purchase and Merger Agreement dated as of March 1, 2013 (the “ APAMA ”), which provides for, among other things, the sale, assignment, transfer and delivery by the Seller to the Buyer of the Seller’s rights, title and interest in certain assets of Seller (“Seller’s Assets”).

 

WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer and deliver all right, title and interest in the Seller’s Assets as described in the APAMA.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises contained in, and the execution and delivery of, the APAMA and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.      Purchase and Sale of Assets . The Seller does hereby irrevocably sell, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer, its successors and assigns, and Buyer hereby accepts all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Seller’s Assets (other than the Excluded Assets) including, but not limited to, the Accounts Receivables referenced in Exhibit A attached hereto to the extent such Accounts Receivables remain Accounts Receivables as of the date of this Bill of Sale.

 

2.      Assumption of Liabilities . The Buyer hereby assumes as of the date hereof, and agrees to pay, perform, satisfy and discharge when due, as appropriate, all of the Seller’s Liabilities.

 

3.      Retention of Excluded Liabilities . Other than as set forth in Section 2 above, the Buyer is not assuming and the Buyer shall not assume or otherwise be obligated to pay, perform, satisfy or discharge any Excluded Liability or any other liability or obligation of the Seller or its affiliates.

 

4.      Scope of Bill of Sale . Except as specifically stated in this Bill of Sale, nothing contained in this Bill of Sale shall in any way replace or in any way modify or otherwise affect the provisions of the APAMA, including any of rights or obligations of the Buyer and/or the Seller under the APAMA.  

 

 

 
 

 

 

5.      Further Assurances . The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that, at any time and from time to time after the delivery of this Bill of Sale, at the Buyer’s request and expense, the Seller, its successors and assigns will, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or will cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, any and all such further acts, conveyances, transfers, assignments, powers of attorney and assurances as the Buyer reasonably may require to more effectively carry into effect the intent and purposes of this Bill of Sale. The Buyer hereby covenants and agrees that, at any time and from time to time after the delivery of this Agreement, at the Seller’s request and expense, the Buyer, its successors and assigns will, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or will cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, any and all such further acts, assumptions, powers of attorney and assurances as the Seller reasonably may require to more effectively carry into effect the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

 

6.      Contracts and Other Obligations Requiring Consent to Assignment . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Bill of Sale, neither this Bill of Sale nor any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall constitute an assignment of any contract, agreement, license, lease, commitment, sales order or purchase order or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof without the consent of any other person or entity would constitute a breach thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights to be assigned. Until such consent is obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereunder would be ineffective or would affect rights thereunder so that the Buyer would not in fact receive all such rights, the parties will cooperate with each other to provide for the Buyer the benefits of, and to permit the Buyer to assume all liabilities under, any such claim, contract, agreement, license, lease, commitment, sales order or purchase order, including enforcement at the request and expense of the Buyer for the benefit of the Buyer of any and all rights against a third party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof by such third party; and any transfer or assignment to the Buyer of any property or property rights or any contract or agreement which shall require the consent or approval of any third party shall be made subject to such consent or approval being obtained. The parties shall each use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents to assignments, including, but not limited to: (i) any consents required in connection with the Material Contracts referenced in Schedule 3.17 to the APAMA and listed on Exhibit B attached hereto; and (ii) within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, any consents required in connection with the Leased Properties referenced in Schedule 3.11(c) to the APAMA and listed on Exhibit C attached hereto. In addition, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the post closing deliverables stated on Exhibit D attached hereto.

 

7.      Waiver of Breach for Post Closing Items . Notwithstanding any provision of the APAMA or this Bill of Sale, neither party shall be in breach of any covenants or warranties of the APAMA or this Bill of Sale, for failure to deliver any consents, documents or items listed in Exhibit B, Exhibit C or Exhibit D of this Bill of Sale by the Closing Date. In addition, Seller shall not be in breach of any such warranty or covenant for failure to deliver such notices required by Section 6.08 of the APAMA, so long as such notices are delivered in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit D.

 

 

 
 

 

 

8.      Modification; Assignment . This Bill of Sale may not be amended or terminated except by a written instrument duly signed by each of the parties hereto.

The provisions of this Paragraph 8 shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment with Lilien for any reason.

 

9.      Intellectual Property .

 

a.      If Executive creates, invents, designs, develops, contributes to or improves any United States or foreign works of authorship, design, program, software, source code, inventions, materials, documents, inventions, trade secrets, processes, patent applications, patents, know-how, copyrightable subject matter, and/or other intellectual property or work product of any kind (including without limitation, research, reports, software, databases, systems, applications, presentations, textual works, content, or audiovisual materials), either alone or with third parties, at any time during the Term and within the scope of Executive’s employment and/or with the use of any Lilien resources (“Lilien Works”), Executive shall promptly and fully disclose same to Lilien, hereby irrevocably relinquishes for the benefit of Lilien and its assigns any rights Executive may have to Lilien Works, and hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and intellectual property rights therein (including rights under patent, industrial property, copyright, trademark, trade secret, unfair competition and related laws) to Lilien to the extent ownership of any such rights does not vest originally in Lilien, without further consideration.

 

b.      During or after the Term, Executive shall take all requested actions and execute all requested documents (including any licenses or assignments required by a government contract) at Lilien’s expense (but without further remuneration) to assist Lilien in validating, maintaining, protecting, enforcing, perfecting, recording, patenting or registering any of Lilien’s rights in Lilien Works.

 

c.      The provisions of this Paragraph 9 shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason.

 

10.      Specific Performance . Executive acknowledges and agrees that Lilien’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Paragraphs 8 or 9, would be inadequate and Lilien would suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach. In recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach, in addition to any remedies at law, Lilien, without posting any bond, and without the necessity of proof of actual damages, shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief restraining any threatened or further breach, or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

 

 

 
 

 

 

11.      Indemnification .

 

a.      Lilien shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Executive to the fullest extent of the law from and against any and all loss, liability, damage or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred in connection with the investigation, defense or negotiation of a settlement thereof or otherwise) (collectively, “Losses”) arising from any claim or threatened claim by any third party with respect to, or in any way related to, Lilien, this Agreement or Executive’s services hereunder (collectively “Claim”). Executive shall give Lilien prompt notice of any such Claim known to him, and Lilien, in its sole discretion, then may take such action as it deems advisable to defend the Claim on behalf of the Executive. (The failure by Executive to give such a prompt notice shall not affect the right to indemnification except to the extent Lilien is materially prejudiced thereby.) Lilien shall have the sole and exclusive right to use counsel of its own choosing, shall control the defense of any such Claim in all respects, and shall have the sole and exclusive right to negotiate and settle any such Claim on behalf of Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall have the right to employ his own legal counsel in defense of any Claim, with the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by Lilien, provided that Lilien determines that there exists a conflict of interest by reason of having common counsel in any such Claim. Executive shall cooperate fully with Lilien and its counsel in all respects in connection with the defense of any Claim and in any attempt made to settle the matter. Such indemnification shall be deemed to apply solely to (a) the amount of the judgment, if any, against Executive, (b) any sums paid by Executive in settlement, and (c) the expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Executive in connection with its defense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Executive shall not be entitled to indemnification for Losses under this Paragraph 13 for any claim or allegation made by Lilien against Executive arising out of Executive’s breach of this Agreement; or if it is adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction that any Losses were the direct result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct by Executive and, if so proven, Executive shall reimburse Lilien for the costs of defense incurred by Lilien.

 

b.      Notwithstanding anything elsewhere to the contrary, this Paragraph 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive any termination of Executive’s employment.

 

12.      No Mitigation; No Set Off .      In the event of any termination of employment hereunder, Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment and there shall be no offset against any amounts due Executive under this Agreement on account of any remuneration attributable to any subsequent employment that Executive may obtain.

 

13.      Arbitration . Any dispute between the parties arising out of this Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute regarding any aspect of this Agreement, its formation, validity, interpretation, effect, performance or breach, or the Executive’s employment (“Arbitrable Dispute”) shall be determined in accordance with the existing arbitration agreement between Executive and Lilien.

 

14.      Section 409A .       The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. The provisions of this Paragraph 14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive any termination of Executive’s employment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at the time of an Executive’s termination of employment the Executive is a “specified employee” of a publicly traded company as defined in Code Section 409A (and any related regulations or other pronouncements thereunder) and the deferral of any payments otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Code Section 409A, then the Company shall defer such payments (without any reduction in such payments ultimately paid or provided to the Executive) until the date that is six months following the Executive’s termination of employment (or the earliest date as is permitted under Code Section 409A).

 

 

 
 

 

 

15.      Miscellaneous .

 

a.      Governing Law .      This Agreement will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. The parties hereto do hereby consent and submit to the venue and jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Santa Clara County, California, as the sole and exclusive forum for the enforcement of an award pursuant to arbitration or, if no arbitration agreement between the parties is in place or such agreement is deemed unenforceable, for the enforcement of this Agreement.

 

b.      Entire Agreement/Amendments .     This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the employment of Executive by Lilien. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, warranties, covenants or undertakings between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein other than those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement may not be altered, modified, or amended except by written instrument signed by the parties hereto.

 

c.      No Waiver .     The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver of such party’s rights or deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.

 

d.      Severability    In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

 

e.      Assignment . This Agreement, and all of Executive’s rights and duties hereunder, shall not be assignable or delegable by Executive. Any purported assignment or delegation by Executive in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio and of no force and effect. This Agreement may be assigned by Lilien solely to a person or entity which is an affiliate or a successor in interest to substantially all of the business operations of Lilien. Upon such assignment, the rights and obligations of Lilien hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of such affiliate or successor person or entity.

 

f.      Successors; Binding Agreement . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees of the Parties. Lilien shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Lilien to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Lilien would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Lilien” shall mean Lilien and any successor to its business and/or assets, which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise. If Executive should die while any accrued amount would still be payable to him hereunder had he continued to live, the accrued amounts, with the exception of any life, disability or health insurance premiums, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to his devisee, legatee or other designee, or if there is no such designee, to his estate.

 

 

 
 

 

 

g.      Notice . For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand or overnight courier or three days after it has been mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth below in this Agreement, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

WHEREAS , the Sysorex Board (on its own behalf and as the sole stockholder of MergerSub) and the Shoom Board have each adopted resolutions approving this Agreement and the Merger of MergerSub with and into Shoom (the “Merger”), resulting in the cancellation of all of the stock of MergerSub and with Shoom continuing as the surviving entity in the Merger in accordance with the California Corporations Code (“CCC”) and, in each such case, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

 

WHEREAS , all of the issued and outstanding shares of no par value Common Stock of Shoom (the “Shoom Shares”) shall be exchanged for the Merger Consideration (as defined herein); and

 

WHEREAS , for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger and the transactions contemplated herein shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(I)(A) and (a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and that this Agreement shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code.

 

NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants of the parties as hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

(i)           The Closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place as soon as practicable after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 8, 9 and 10,at the offices of Sysorex, 3375 Scott Blvd. Suite 440, Santa Clara, CA 95054, or at such other location as may be agreed to by the parties, or on such other date and time as may be agreed to by the parties (the “Closing Date”).

 

(ii)          Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the parties shall file with the Secretary of State of California an Agreement of Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) in accordance with the CCC executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the CCC and shall make all other filings or recordings required under such law in order to complete the Merger. The Merger shall be completed at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of California (the “Effective Time”).

 

(c)           Succession . At the Effective Time, Shoom shall succeed to all of the rights, privileges, debts, liabilities, powers, properties and contract rights of the MergerSub in the manner of and as more fully set forth in the CCC.

 

(d)           Merger Consideration . The consideration for the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”), will be as follows:

 

(i)            Issuance of Sysorex Shares . Sysorex shall issue 2,762,005 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to the Persons who are shareholders of Shoom as of the Effective Time (the “Shoom Stockholders”) (the shares of Sysorex common stock being issued to the Shoom Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement are the “Consideration Shares”; the shares common stock of Sysorex in general are the “Sysorex Shares”), pro rata in accordance with the number of Shoom shares held by them as of the Effective Time. No fractional shares will be issued and the number of Consideration Shares issued to each Shoom Stockholder shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

 

(ii)           Payment of Cash Consideration . Sysorex will pay cash to the Shoom Stockholders (the “Cash Consideration”), pro rata, in accordance with the number of Shoom shares held by each of them as of the Effective Time. The Cash Consideration shall be two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000), subject to adjustment as follows: (i) if the Net Worth of Shoom as of the end of the last business day immediately preceding the Closing Date is greater than $6,038,020 which was the Net Worth of Shoom as of July 31, 2013 (the “Baseline Date”), then the Cash Consideration shall be $2,500,000 plus such excess, or (ii) if the Net Worth of Shoom as of the end of the last business day immediately preceding the Closing Date is less than the Net Worth of Shoom as of the Baseline Date, then the Cash Consideration shall be $2,500,000 minus such shortfall. Notwithstanding the above, no adjustment to the Cash Consideration shall be made, either upward or downward, and the Cash Consideration shall remain $2,500,000, if the Net Worth of Shoom as of the end of the last business day immediately preceding the Effective Time differs from the Net Worth of Shoom as of the Baseline Date by $100,000 or less.  For purposes of this Agreement “ Net Worth ” means (i) total Assets as determined in accordance with GAAP, minus (ii) total Liabilities determined in accordance with GAAP and shall include an accrual for the Profit Sharing Plan of Shoom through the Effective Time.

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, if there are Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 1(f) below), Merger Consideration shall not be distributed to holders of such Dissenting Shares and the total Merger Consideration shall be reduced to account for Dissenting Shares, such that the Shoom Stockholders who do not hold Dissenting Shares receive the same Merger Consideration as they would have received had there been no Dissenting Shares.

 

(e)           Tender of Payment for Certificates .

 

(i)           Exchange of Shoom Certificates; Conversion of Merger Sub Shares . In consideration of the Merger Consideration, the Shoom Stockholders shall surrender at or after the Effective Time certificates with powers endorsed in blank (the “Certificates”) for the Shoom Shares or, in the case of Shoom Stockholders who have lost such Certificates, an affidavit of loss reasonably acceptable to the Surviving Corporation. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1(e), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive its pro rata portion of the Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 1(d) hereof. Each Shoom Stockholder’s right to receive Merger Consideration shall be conditioned on such Shoom Stockholder executing such documents, making such representations and warranties, and giving such releases, as are provided for elsewhere in this Agreement. At the Effective Time, each share of Merger Sub common stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

 

(ii)           Options, Warrants and Treasury Stock . All outstanding options, warrants and other securities owned and held in treasury by Shoom, shall be surrendered at or prior to the Effective Time and retired by Shoom. All securities of Shoom other than Shoom Shares shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

 

(iii)          Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in the Stock . At the Effective Time, the transfer books of Shoom shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shoom Shares on the records of Shoom by the Shoom Stockholders. From and after the Effective Time the holders of Certificates evidencing ownership of Shoom Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shoom Shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable law.

All representations and warranties made by Shoom, the Shoom Stockholders, MergerSub and Sysorex in this Agreement, including without limitation all representations and warranties made in any Exhibit or Schedule hereto or certificate delivered hereunder, shall survive the Closing until the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Survival Date”); provided, however, that all representations and warranties made by Shoom and the Shoom Stockholders in Section 3(r) hereof, and all representations and warranties made by the MergerSub and Sysorex in Section 4(i) hereof, shall survive the Closing until and through one (1) month after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (the “Extended Survival Date”); provided , however , that representations which are the basis for claims asserted under this Agreement, of which an Indemnitee notifies the indemnifying party prior to the expiration of such applicable time periods, shall also survive until the final resolution of those claims. Covenants and other executory obligations contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing. The right to indemnification, payment of damages and other remedies based on representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.

 

(a)          Indemnity by the Shoom Stockholders . Provided that the Merger contemplated by this Agreement is closed, the Shoom Stockholders shall, severally but not jointly, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the MergerSub and Sysorex and their respective Affiliates, shareholders, partners, directors, officers, employees and other agents and representatives (collectively, the “Sysorex Parties”) from and against all liabilities, losses, costs or damages whatsoever (including expenses and reasonable fees of legal counsel) (“Claims”) arising out of or relating to Claims of which Sysorex notifies the Shareholder Representative prior to the Survival Date or the Extended Survival Date, if applicable, in the event that it is determined that such Claims arise out of or from or are based upon (i) the inaccuracy in any material respect of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3 made by Shoom, (ii) the non-performance by Shoom in any material respect of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Shoom under this Agreement, (iii) the assessment of any material federal, state, local or other tax liabilities due and payable by Shoom for all periods through August 31, 2013 or (iv) the assessment of any federal, state or local fines resulting from the provision of services or shipment of any product of Shoom to and including through the Closing Date; or (v) the inaccuracy in any material respect of any representation or warranty made by a Shoom Stockholder in the Shareholder Representation Statement delivered by such Shoom Stockholder (in which case only such individual Shoom Stockholder shall have such indemnification obligation).

 

 

 
30

 

 

(b)          Indemnification by MergerSub and Sysorex . Provided that the Merger contemplated by this Agreement is closed, the MergerSub and Sysorex hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Shoom Stockholders from and against all Claims arising out of or from or based upon (i) the inaccuracy in any material respect of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4 by the MergerSub and/or Sysorex; (ii) the non-performance by the MergerSub and/or Sysorex in any material respect of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the MergerSub and/or Sysorex under this Agreement; and (iii) any liabilities arising out of the operation of the business of Shoom by the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time.

 

(c)          Defense of Claims . Whenever any Claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall notify the indemnifying party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing within 30 days after the Indemnitee has actual knowledge that it is entitled to indemnification of such Claim constituting the basis for such Claim (the “Notice of Claim”). The Notice of Claim shall specify all facts known to the Indemnitee giving rise to such indemnification claim and the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom.

 

If the facts giving rise to any such indemnification shall involve any actual, threatened or possible claim or demand by any person against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled (without prejudice to the right of the Indemnitee to participate at its expense through co-counsel of its own choosing) to contest or defend such claim at his expense and through counsel of his own choosing if he gives written notice of his intention to do so to the Indemnitee within 10 days after receipt of the Notice of Claim; provided that Indemnitor diligently prosecutes or defends such claim.

 

The Indemnitee shall not settle any claim that would give rise to liability on the part of the Indemnitor under the indemnity contained in this Section without the written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. If a firm offer is made to settle a claim or litigation defended by the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor refuses to accept such offer within 20 days after receipt of written notice from the Indemnitee of the terms of such offer, then, in such event, the Indemnitee shall continue to contest or defend such claim and shall be indemnified pursuant to the terms hereof. If a firm offer is made to settle a claim or litigation and the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee in writing that the Indemnitor desires to accept and agree to such settlement, but the Indemnitee elects not to accept or agree to it, the Indemnitee may continue to contest or defend such claim or litigation and in such event, the total maximum liability of the Indemnitor to indemnify or otherwise reimburse the Indemnitee hereunder with respect to such claim or litigation shall be limited to and shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer, plus reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) to the date of notice that the Indemnitor desires to accept such settlement.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither Shoom Stockholders’ nor MergerSub’s maximum liability for indemnification shall exceed a total of five million five hundred thousand dollars ($5,500,000). Further, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Shoom Stockholder shall have any liability for indemnity obligations in excess of such Shoom Stockholder’s pro-rata portion of the total liability for such indemnity, based upon the relative numbers of Shoom Shares held by the Shoom Stockholders. For example, if the total aggregate indemnity liability of the Shoom Stockholders as a group is $1,000,000, and a Shoom Stockholder held 10% of the Shoom Shares, such Shoom Stockholder’s maximum liability for indemnification shall be $100,000.

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 by the Indemnitee shall be asserted or claimed except for the amount of such Claim in excess of the aggregate, the sum of $25,000 (the “Shoom Stockholders’ Basket”). Any Loss suffered by MergerSub for payment of any insurance deductible in connection with any proceedings shall be excluded from the Shoom Stockholders’ Basket.

 

All claims for indemnification against the Shoom Stockholders shall be satisfied by the Shoom Stockholders on a pro-rata basis first by forfeiture of Escrow Shares and Escrow Cash held pursuant to Section 1(i) and if not satisfied thereby, by forfeiture of additional Consideration Shares. For purposes of determining the number of Escrow Shares or other Consideration Shares to be forfeited in order to satisfy a claim for indemnity, any Escrow Shares or Consideration Shares that are forfeited in satisfaction of indemnity obligations shall be deemed to have a value of the greater of (i) two dollars ($2.00) per share, or (ii) the average closing price of such Sysorex Shares for the ten (10) trading days preceding the date on which such shares are forfeited in satisfaction of indemnity obligations. Notwithstanding the above, any Shoom Stockholder shall be entitled to elect to satisfy some or all of such Shoom Stockholder’s indemnity obligations hereunder in cash rather than through forfeiture of Escrow Shares or other Consideration Shares.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the remedies available to the Sysorex Parties under this Section 5 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Sysorex Parties against the Shoom Stockholders in relation to this Agreement.

 

(e)          Shareholder Representative . In the event that the Merger is approved by the Shoom Stockholders, effective upon such vote, and without further act of any stockholder, William Freschi shall be deemed appointed as agent and attorney-in-fact (the “ Shareholder Representative ”) for each Shoom Stockholder (except such shareholders, if any, as shall have perfected their dissenters’ rights under the CCC), for and on behalf of the Shoom Stockholders, to give and receive notices and communications, to object to Claims for indemnification, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to Claims for which indemnification is sought, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The Shareholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Shareholder Representative while acting in good faith. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative shall constitute a decision of all the Shoom Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each of the Shoom Stockholders, and the Sysorex Parties may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of every such Shoom Stockholder. The Shareholder Representative may be removed and replaced by the Shoom Stockholders from time to time upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to Sysorex; provided, however , that the Shareholder Representative may not be removed unless holders of a majority of the Consideration Shares agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted Shareholder Representative. Any vacancy in the position of Shareholder Representative may be filled by approval of the holders of a majority in interest of the Consideration Shares. In the event that a vacancy in the position of Shareholder Representative is not filled by a majority in interest of the Consideration Shares, Sysorex may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor to such position. No bond shall be required of the Shareholder Representative, and the Shareholder Representative shall not receive compensation for his services. Notices or communications to or from the Shareholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Shoom Stockholders. Notwithstanding the above, the Shareholder representative shall not have the power to settle or compromise any Claim relating to the inaccuracy of representations or warranties made by a Shoom Stockholder in the Shareholder Representation Statement delivered by such Shoom Stockholder for which only such individual Shoom Stockholder has indemnification obligations.

The foregoing notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder disagrees with such determination, then Company and Holder shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking firm to undertake such valuation. If the valuation of such investment banking firm is greater than that determined by the Board of Directors, then all fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by Company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Holder.

 

 
 

 

 

1.4      Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant . Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this Warrant, Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant representing Shares not so acquired.

 

1.5      Replacement of Warrants . On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

 

1.6      Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of Company . For the purpose of this Warrant, "Acquisition" means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Company, or any reorganization, consolidation, or merger of Company where the holders of Company's securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction. Upon the closing of any Acquisition, the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted accordingly; provided that if pursuant to such Acquisition the entire outstanding class of Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant are cancelled and the total consideration payable to the holders of such class of Shares consists entirely of cash, then, upon payment to the holder of this Warrant of an amount equal to the amount such holder would receive if such holder held Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant and such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition less the aggregate Exercise Price of such Shares, this Warrant shall be cancelled.

 

ARTICLE 2     ADJUSTMENTS.

 

2.1      Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc . If Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock (or Shares if Shares are securities other than common stock) payable in common stock or other securities, subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock, or, if Shares are securities other than common stock, subdivides Shares in a transaction that increases the amount of common stock into which Shares are convertible, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

 

2.2      Reclassification, Recapitalization, Exchange or Substitution . Except in the case of an Acquisition to which Section 1.6 is applicable, upon any reclassification, recapitalization, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, recapitalization, exchange, substitution, or other event. Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Exercise Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, recapitalizations, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

 

2.3      Adjustments for Combinations, Etc . If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares as to which this warrant is exercisable shall be proportionately decreased.

 

 
2

 

 

2.4      Adjustment for Pay-to-Play Transactions . In the event that the Company’s Articles (Certificate) of Incorporation provides, or is amended to so provide, for the amendment or modification of the rights, preferences or privileges of the Shares, or the reclassification, conversion or exchange of the outstanding shares of the Class of Stock, in the event that a holder of shares thereof fails to participate in an equity financing transaction (a “Pay-to-Play Provision”), and in the event that such Pay-to-Play Provision becomes operative in a transaction occurring after the date hereof, this Warrant shall automatically and without any action required become exercisable for that number and type of shares of equity securities as would have been issued or exchanged, or would have remained outstanding, in respect of the Shares issuable hereunder had this Warrant been exercised in full prior to such event, and had the Holder participated in the equity financing to the maximum extent permitted.

 

2.5      No Impairment . Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles/Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder's rights under this Article against impairment. If Company takes any dilutive action affecting Shares or its common stock other than as described above that adversely affects Holder's rights under this Warrant, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that such dilutive action is offset and the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant is unchanged.

 

2.6      Fractional Shares . No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder an amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.

 

2.7      Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Exercise Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Exercise Price.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in (but not control) the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such Proceeding in a timely manner and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel in writing that a conflict of interest would exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any matters related on a factual basis shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding affected without its written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

 

 
10

 

 

All reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within fifteen (15) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided , that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, determined based upon the relative faults of the parties.

 

(d)      Contribution . If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c) , any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

 

(e)      The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in Section 5(d) . Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5(d) , no Holder shall be required to indemnify or contribute, in the aggregate, pursuant to this Article 5 , any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, except in the case of fraud by such Holder. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties. No party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation pursuant to Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any other party.

6.      Miscellaneous.

 

(a)      Remedies .

The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(o)      Deferral Period .

The Company shall not file any other registration statements until the initial Registration Statement required hereunder is declared effective by the Commission.

 

(r)      No Inconsistent Agreements . The Company has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 

 

 

 

ANNEX A

 

Plan of Distribution

 

The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

 

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker/dealer solicits purchasers;

 

 

block trades in which the broker/dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

 

purchases by a broker/dealer as principal and resale by the broker/dealer for its account;

 

 

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

 

privately negotiated transactions;

 

 

put or call options transactions;

 

 

settlement of short sales;

 

 

broker/dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

 

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

 

any other method permitted by applicable law.

 

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker/dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers/dealers to participate in sales. Broker/dealers may receive commissions from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker/dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

 

The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the donees, pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of Selling Stockholders to include the donee, pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus.

 

 

Annex A

1

 

 

 

The Selling Stockholders and any broker/dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker/dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act of 1933. The Selling Stockholders have informed the Company that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute common stock.

 

At the time a particular offering of securities is made, to the extent required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed which will set forth the number of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the purchase price or the public offering price, the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price paid by any underwriters for securities purchased from the Selling Stockholders, any discounts, commissions and other items constituting compensation from the selling security holders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

 

Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Pursuant to applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in the distribution of the securities offered under this prospectus may not simultaneously engage in market activities for the shares of common stock for a period of five business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition, each Selling Stockholder and any other person who participates in a distribution of the securities will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person to engage in market activities for the shares of commonstock.

 

 

Annex A

2

 

 

 

 

The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.
