iCoreConnect Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31st, 2021

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

iCoreConnect Inc., (the “Company”), a Nevada Corporation, develops and markets secure cloud-based HIPAA compliant software as a service (SaaS) focused on compliance, workflow/productivity, and electronic health records systems. The Company also offers both managed IT (MSP) and managed software as a service (MSaaS) with recurring revenue subscriptions. Our core services technology can be adopted to other vertical markets that require a high degree of secure data communication, such as the legal, financial and education sectors.

 

Software as a Service (SaaS) Offerings

 

The Company currently markets secure HIPAA compliant cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) offering under the names of iCoreExchange, iCoreCodeGenius, iCoreSecure, iCoreMD, iCoreDental, iCoreMobile, iCoreHuddle, iCoreRx, iCorePDMP, iCoreEPCS, and iCorePay. The Company’s software is sold under annual recurring revenue subscriptions.

 

iCoreExchange – iCoreExchange offers hospitals, physician practices, dental practices, and other healthcare professionals the extensive functionality needed to securely transfer patient health information to anyone, anywhere and at any time.

 

iCoreExchange provides a secure, HIPAA compliant email solution using the Direct Protocol that allows doctors to send and receive secure email with attachments to and from other healthcare professionals in the network. iCoreExchange also provides a secure email mechanism to communicate with users outside the exchange e.g., patients and referrals. Users have the ability to build a community, access other communities and increase referrals and collaboration. Users can email standard office documents, JPEG, PDF as well as files with discrete data, Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (“CCDA”), which can then be imported and accessed on most Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Practice Management systems in a HIPAA compliant manner.

 

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) requires providers and healthcare professionals to transmit encrypted personal health information via electronic means.

 

iCoreCodeGenius – is Coding Software that provides the coding standards for the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), a medical classification list published by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury and diseases.

 

Users can document any medical condition in 60 seconds or less. It includes a full ICD-10 code lookup and guidance, automatic prompting of comorbidities and Hierarchical Condition Category’s (HCC) appropriate reimbursement with a high degree of accuracy, and the ability to reduce or eliminate queries and denials.

 

iCoreSecure –We used our expertise and development capabilities from our HIPAA compliant iCoreExchange and developed iCoreSecure, an encrypted email solution for anyone that needs encrypted email to protect personal and financial data. iCoreSecure solves privacy concerns in the insurance, real estate, financial and many other industry sectors that have a need for secure encrypted email.

 

iCoreMD and iCoreDental -- iCoreMD and iCoreDental are complete EHR/Practice Management software platforms created for the medical and dental communities in response to feedback from doctors and dentists telling us they wanted a cloud-based software that was more flexible than the current medical and dental platforms in the marketplace. The software includes patient demographics, scheduling, billing, electronic medical records, electronic claims, e-prescriptions, labs, merchant services, and patient reminders along with a complete suite of standard reporting capabilities and data analytics to help run a medical or dental practice.

Our cloud-based software was certified in November 2015 by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), certificate number 150120r0.

 

iCoreMobile -- iCoreMobile is our third complete EHR software platform, was designed and built specifically for mobile medical and dental care centers. In addition to the features included in iCoreMD and iCoreDental, iCoreMobile also includes workflow optimizations and process enhancements to cater to providers in mobile settings. The software utilizes fully customizable patient intake forms to improve workflow. The software ensures that once a patient’s C-CDA import has been accepted, it is immediately available on all mobile workstations. The enhanced reporting system and metrics provides the main office with extensive data analytics of the mobile unit. The customizable nature of the reporting system allows mobile operators to compare the efficiency of their units.

 

iCoreHuddle – iCoreHuddle is a powerful analytical tool to instantly reveal the revenue potential of each patient. The service connects to most popular practice management and EHR systems to optimize revenue realization. It provides the practice with a dashboard containing various metrics, analytics, and Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”). iCoreHuddle provides a daily view of patient schedules, including their outstanding balances, uncompleted treatment plans, recall information, procedure information and the amount of remaining insurance benefits. The software also provides one-click access to each patient’s insurance eligibility, including a detailed benefits and deductibles report. This tool aims to increase the workflow efficiency of the dentist’s practice by reducing the number of required lookups and clicks for each patient.

 

iCoreRx – iCoreRx is a HIPAA compliant electronic ePrescription software that integrates with popular practice management and EHR systems. It saves time by selecting exact medications at available doses with built-in support from a drug directory and provides full support for EPCS (electronic prescribed controlled substances). It protects both the patient and provider by viewing the patient’s complete medication history. It also speeds up the process by allowing the doctor to create a “favorites” list for commonly used medication sets. iCorePDMP is an add-on for iCoreRx that seamlessly integrates with state databases to automate prescription drug monitoring. Providers in many states are required to check the patient’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP / PMP) history before prescribing controlled substances. This service provides a one-click real-time access to the state databases without the need to manually enter data and provides access to PDMP data, including a patient’s health history. This tool also generates patient risk scores and an interactive visualization of usage patterns to help the prescriber identify potential risk factors. The prescriber can then use this report to make decisions on objective insight into potential drug misuse or abuse which will ultimately lead to improved patient safety and better patient outcomes.

 

IT Managed Services - The trend in IT Services companies for over a decade has been to model towards “Managed Service Provider (MSP)” and Managed Software as a Services (MSaaS) models with monthly recurring revenue (MRR).

 

The MSP approach, by using preventative measures, keeps computers and networks up and running while data is accessible and safeguarded. Installation of critical patches and updates to virus protection are automated. Systems are monitored and backed up in real-time. They are fixed or upgraded before they cause a service disruption.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the SEC on April 15, 2021. The accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

 

The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. Readers of this Quarterly Report are strongly encouraged to review the risk factors relating to the Company which are set forth in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidations

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, with all intercompany transactions eliminated. They have been prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Significant accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying those principles, which materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operations and cash flows are summarized below.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value. Fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy, as follows:

 

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company classifies highly liquid temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Balances at United States banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk for cash on deposit.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the potential inability of certain customers to make required future payments on amounts due us. Management determines the adequacy of this allowance by periodically evaluating the aging and past due nature of individual customer accounts receivable balances and considering the customer’s current financial situation as well as the existing industry economic conditions and other relevant factors that would be useful in assessing the risk of collectability. If the future financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make specific required payments, additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. In addition, if the financial condition of our customers improves and collections of amounts outstanding commence or are reasonably assured, then we may reverse previously established allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company has estimated and recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $76,531 and $77,000 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

 

Property, equipment, and leasehold improvements are recorded at their historical cost. Depreciation and amortization have been determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which are computers and office equipment (3 years) and for office furniture and fixtures (7 years). The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to operations in the period incurred.

 

Software Development Costs and Acquired Software

 

The Company accounts for software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be sold to external users. In accordance with ASC 985-730, Computer Software Research and Development, research and planning phase costs are expensed as incurred and development phase costs including direct materials and services, payroll and benefits and interest costs are capitalized.

 

We have determined that technological feasibility for our products to be marketed to external users was reached before the release of those products. As a result, the development costs and related acquisition costs after the establishment of technological feasibility were capitalized as incurred. Capitalized costs for software to be sold to external users and software acquired in a business combination are amortized based on current and projected future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to the straight-line amortization over three years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill consists of the purchase price of business acquisitions in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the reporting unit may exceed its fair value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

We are required to test our goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if conditions indicate that an impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the asset level. Our reporting units are acquired companies at which discrete financial information may be available and for which operating results are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance.

 

We have the option to qualitatively or quantitatively assess goodwill for impairment and, in 2020, we evaluated our goodwill using a qualitative assessment process. If the qualitative factors determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired. If the qualitative assessment determines it is more likely than not the fair value is less than the carrying amount, we would further evaluate for potential impairment.

 

As of March 31, 2021, we had $0.491 million of Goodwill on our balance sheet associated with two acquisitions, ICD Logic and TrinIT. ICD Logic related goodwill, which accounts for $0.361 million of the total Goodwill balance is the basis for the underlying technology associated with one of the Company’s faster growing and more promising SaaS offerings. TrinIT related Goodwill accounts for $0.130 million of the total Goodwill balance. The TrinIT acquisition was made in 2020 and is performing to expectations. During 2020, there were no indications of a triggering event at the 2 reporting units. The annual goodwill impairment analysis resulted in no indications of impairment in 2020 or 2019.

 

We are subject to financial statement risk to the extent that our goodwill become impaired due to decreases in the fair value. A future decline in performance, decreases in projected growth rates or margin assumptions or changes in discount rates could result in a potential impairment, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

 

We have 5 primary sources of revenue as of March 31, 2021:

 

 

1.

ePrescription Software

 

2.

IT Managed Services

 

3.

Encrypted and HIPAA Compliant Secure email

 

4.

ICD Coding Software

 

5.

Electronic Health Records (EHR/Practice Management) software

 

1) ePrescription software services are provided on an annual basis using the software as a service (‘SaaS’) model with revenue recognized ratably over the contract term.

 

2) Managed IT services – Consist of 3 revenue streams. (i) Monthly recurring “Managed Service Provider (MSP)” and MSaaS revenue, (ii) periodic sale and installation of IT related hardware, and (iii) custom IT projects. The MSP and MSaaS model revenue is recognized monthly on a recurring basis while the revenue relating to IT hardware and custom IT projects is recognized when the services are performed.

 

3) Encrypted HIPAA compliant secure email services are provided on an annual subscription basis using the software as a service (“SaaS”) model with revenues recognized ratably over the contract term.

 

4) ICD Coding Software provides the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. ICD coding services are provided on an annual subscription basis using the software as a service (“SaaS”) model with revenues recognized ratably over the contract term.

 

5) Revenue from Practice Management software licensing arrangements are based on subscription basis using the software as a service (“SaaS”) model with revenues recognized ratably over the contract term.

 

We recognize revenue for our service in accordance with accounting standard ASC 606. Our customers are acquired through our own salesforce and through the referrals from our many state association marketing partners. We primarily generate revenue from multiple SaaS and MSaaS offerings, which typically include subscriptions to our online software solutions. The Company’s secondary source of revenue is professional services and other revenue related to customer onboarding, IT services and equipment sales that often precede a subscription service offering purchased by the customer. Eighty-four percent of our revenue is subscription based with the remainder being professional services and other IT related revenue. The geographic concentration of our revenue is 100% in North America.

 

Our customers do not have the right to take possession of the online software solution. Revenue from subscriptions, including additional fees for items such as incremental contacts, is recognized ratably over the subscription period beginning on the date the subscription is made available to customers. All subscription contracts are one year. We recognize revenue from on-boarding services and equipment as the services are provided. Amounts billed that have not yet met the applicable revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue.

 

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

 

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, which requires additional disclosures about the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, how the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and how the derivative instruments and related hedging items affect the financial statements.

 

 
11

Table of Contents

    

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible debt and preferred stock instruments are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required under ASC 815 to be accounted for separately from the host contract and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities, if any, is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results.

 

Freestanding warrants issued by the Company in connection with the issuance or sale of debt and equity instruments are considered to be derivative instruments. Pursuant to ASC 815, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether the fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when it is necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount, if any, expected to be realized in future years.

 

ASC 740, Accounting for Income taxes (“ASC 740”), requires that deferred tax assets be evaluated for future realization and reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent we believe a portion more likely than not will not be realized. We consider many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of our deferred tax assets, including our recent cumulative loss experience and expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdictions, the carry forwarding periods available to us for tax reporting purposes and other relevant factors.

 

The Company has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits or penalties has not been provided since there has been no unrecognized benefit or penalty. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit or penalty, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company files U.S. Federal income tax returns and various returns in state jurisdictions. The Company’s open tax years subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the state Departments of Revenue generally remain open for three years from the date of filing.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and to the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by adding other Common Stock equivalents, including stock options, shares issuable on exercise of warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive. Common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share which consisted of all outstanding common stock options and warrants.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company uses the fair value method to account for the granting of options to purchase shares of its stock whereby all awards are recorded at fair value on the date of the grant. Share based awards with a performance condition are measured based on the probable outcome of that performance condition during the requisite service period. Such an award with a performance condition is accrued if it is probable that a performance condition will be achieved. Compensation costs for stock-based payments that do not include performance conditions are recognized on a straight-line basis. The fair value of all share purchase options is expensed over their requisite service period with a corresponding increase to additional capital surplus. Upon exercise of share purchase options, the consideration paid by the option holder, together with the amount previously recognized in additional capital surplus, is recorded as an increase to share capital.

 

 
12

Table of Contents

   

The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. The Company estimates the fair value of its common stock using the closing stock price of its common stock on the option grant date. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on its historical stock prices. The Company uses the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the award. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The fair value of shares of restricted stock issued are determined by the Company based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires a lessee, in most leases, to initially recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. The guidance requires adoption using a modified retrospective transition approach with either 1) periods prior to the adoption date being recast or 2) a cumulative-effect adjustment recognized to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date with prior periods not recast. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using the cumulative-effect adjustment method and elected certain practical expedients allowed under the standard.

 

The Company does not believe that any other issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 the Company generated an operating loss of $645,117. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit, total stockholders’ equity and net working capital deficit of $78,643,995, $576,178 and $1,651,681, respectively, on March 31, 2021. The Company’s activities were primarily financed through private placements of equity securities. The Company intends to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities to fund its operations. The Company is reliant on future fundraising to finance operations in the near future. The financing may not be available on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all. In light of these matters, there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

 

Currently, management intends to develop a vastly improved healthcare communications system and intends to develop alliances with strategic partners to generate revenues that will sustain the Company. While management believes in the viability of its strategy to increase revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. Management’s ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent upon its ability to continually increase the Company’s customer base and realize increased revenues from signed contracts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

3. COMMON STOCK

 

Stock Issuances

 

In January of 2021, executives and employees converted notes payable and services rendered of $481,923 into approximately 7.9 million shares of Common Stock. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued approximately 22.5 million shares of Common stock for $1.395 million in cash.

 

In January of 2021, the Company and a finance company entered into a Purchase Agreement between the Company and an Investor (the “Investor”). The Purchase Agreement is an equity line of credit and the Investor committed to purchase, subject to certain restrictions and conditions, up to $5.0 million worth (the “Commitment”) of the Company’s common stock over a period of 24 months from the effectiveness of the registration statement registering for resale shares purchased by the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Company has no other lines of credit as of March 31, 2021.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

On November 15, 2017, the Company signed a three-year lease agreement for approximately 4,100 square feet of office space located in Winter Garden, Florida in which the Company has its headquarters. The lease provided for a one-year renewal term at the option of the Company that the company exercised. An amendment to this lease was signed on October 26, 2020 which extended the lease term through October 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, undiscounted future lease obligations for the office space are $41,520 for period ending March 31, 2021.

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires a lessee, in most leases, to initially recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right of use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. In arriving at the right of use lease asset as of January 1, 2019, we applied the weighted-average incremental borrowing rate of 11.9% over a weighted-average remaining lease term of 1.6 years. The Company adopted this standard using the cumulative-effect adjustment method and elected certain practical expedients allowed under the standard.

7. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

 

The Company has historically provided financial terms to customers in accordance with what management views as industry norms. Access to the Company’s software products usually requires immediate payment but can extend several months under certain circumstances. Management periodically and regularly reviews customer account activity in order to assess the adequacy of allowances for doubtful accounts, considering such factors as economic conditions and each customer’s payment history and creditworthiness. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, or if they were otherwise unable to make payments in accordance with management’s expectations, we might have to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts, modify their financial terms and/or pursue alternative collection methods.

 

The company had no significant customer (greater than 10% of total revenue) for 3 months ending March 31, 2021. The Company had 1 significant customer in the three months ending March, 31, 2020. The customer’s share of total revenue fell to under 10% from the 3 months ending March 31, 2020 due to organic growth of other customers and the acquisition of TrinIT that further diversified the Company’s customer concentration. The company has accounts receivable concentration with two customers that represent 15%, 14%, and 12% of our accounts receivable. Overall, the company grew its accounts receivable approximately ending balance 40% for the 3 months ending March 31, 2021 compared to the 3 months ending March 31, 2020, compared to an over 39% growth in sales for the same period. Day’s sales outstanding was less than 30 days as of March 31, 2021.

 

8. SEGMENT INFORMATION

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On April 23, 2021 iCoreConnect Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Buyer”), acquired substantially all of the assets and business of Heyns Unlimited LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, doing business as Advantech (“Seller”), in exchange for (i) 5,000,000 shares of restricted Common Stock of Buyer, (ii) $1,800,000 in cash and (iii) the assumption of certain liabilities and obligations of Seller.

 

For the period April 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021, the Company issued 10,420,000 shares of Common Stock for cash proceeds totaling $1,042,000 The proceeds were used for the acquisition of Advantech and general corporate purposes. The Company also issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock during the period to acquire the assets of Advantech.

 

In April 2021, the Company signed a $150,000 convertible promissory note with a maturity date twelve months after issuance and received in exchange $150,000 from a finance company (the “Investor” or “Holder”). An Interest charge of 12% per annum shall accrue and be paid on the maturity date. The note is convertible into the Company’s Common Stock at fixed conversion price $0.10 per common share. The Company has right of prepayment. The note holder is limited to receive upon conversion no more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock at the time of conversion at any one time. The Company also issued to the Holder 780,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock and 2,600,000 cash Warrant Shares with a 5-year term.

About the Company

 

iCoreConnect Inc., (the “Company”), a Nevada Corporation, develops and markets secure cloud-based HIPAA compliant software as a service (SaaS) focused on compliance, workflow, insurance reimbursement and electronic health records systems. The Company also offer IT managed services and managed software as a service (MSaaS) under recurring revenue subscriptions and other professional services related to information technology installation, repair and maintenance that are generally non-nonrecurring in nature. Our customers are primarily health care related enterprises. However, our core services technology can be adopted to other vertical markets that require managed IT services as well as a high degree of secure data communication, such as the legal, financial and education sectors.

 

Software as a Service (SaaS) Offerings

 

iCoreConnect’s SaaS offerings are focused on compliance, workflow/productivity, revenue reimbursement and electronic health records systems. The Company currently markets secure HIPAA compliant cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) offering under the names of iCoreExchange, iCoreCodeGenius, iCoreSecure, iCoreMD, iCoreDental, iCoreMobile, iCoreHuddle, iCoreRx, iCorePDMP, iCoreEPCS, and iCorePay and. The Company’s software is sold under annual recurring revenue subscriptions.

 

IT Managed Services

 

The trend in IT Services companies for over a decade has been to move away from a “Break/Fix ‘‘ model to a “Managed Service Provider (MSP)” model with recurring revenue. The MSP approach, by using preventative measures, keeps computers and networks up and running while data is accessible and safeguarded. Installation of critical patches and updates to virus protection are automated. Systems are monitored and backed up in real-time. They are fixed or upgraded before they cause a service disruption. A Unified Threat Management solution is deployed to protect against virus, malware, SPAM, phishing and ransomware attacks. Remote technical support is a click away. All support is delivered at a predictable monthly cost.

 

Going forward, by leveraging managed services with our expertise in cloud computing, our customers can easily scale their business without extensive capital investment or disruption in services.

 

The Company is competitively positioned to address the growing need for managed services:

 

 

·

Our current and future customer need managed IT services, along with cloud computing, storage and HIPAA compliant backup and encryption.

 

·

Managed service providers that can support the migration to cloud computing are in high demand.

 

·

The decision makers for our current technology and those for managed services are, in many cases, the same person or group of people.

 

·

Our management team has decades of experience operating successful technology services companies,

 

·

The MSP revenue model matches are SaaS, MSaaS and MRR subscription models.

Table of Contents

    

We derive most of our revenue from subscriptions to our cloud-based SaaS and MSaaS offerings. Subscription revenue related to SaaS and MSaaS offerings account for 84% and 80% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. We sell multiple offerings at different base prices on a subscription basis to meet the needs of the customers we serve. Most of our customers’ subscriptions are one year or less in duration.

 

Professional services and other revenue account for 16% and 20% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Professional services and other revenue include hardware, software, labor and other revenues related to customer onboarding for SaaS/MSaaS services or one-time, non-recurring services. We expect professional services and other margins to range from moderately positive to break-even.

 

COVID-19 Business Update

 

In the first quarter of 2020, we began to see the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, as local and national actions, such as stay at home mandates and business closures, took effect. Our core customers, medical and dental businesses, significantly curtailed business operations, impacting the Company’s sales and near-term new business prospects.

 

In May 2020 the Company received loan proceeds of $328,000 relating to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) as part of the CARES Act created by Congress to financially support companies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The PPP Loan carries interest at 1%. The principal and accrued interest may be wholly or partially forgiven after completing and submitting a PPP Loan Forgiveness Application with the financial institution associated with the SBA loan. The Company is ready to submit a PPP Loan Forgiveness Application once our financial institution begins accepting receipt of them.

 

Business activity at our customers is returning to more normalized operating conditions. Our sales efforts and prospects have sequentially improved for several quarters in a row as the pandemic subsided and we have returned to a higher rate of organic growth compared to the first half of 2021. The Company’s year over year revenue growth comparisons in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year period that was impacted by COVID closures are favorable.

 

Financing

 

We are currently funding our business capital requirements through sales of our common stock and debt arrangements. While we intend to seek additional funding, if revenue increases to a point where we are able to sustain ourselves and increase our budget to match our growth needs, we may significantly reduce the amount of investment capital we seek. The amount of funds raised and revenue generated, if any, will determine how aggressively we can grow and what additional projects we will be able to undertake. No assurance can be given that we will be able to raise additional capital when needed or at all, or that such capital, if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to, or do not raise additional capital in the near future or if our revenue does not begin to grow as we expect, we will have to curtail our spending and downsize our operations.

 

In January of 2021, the Company paid off a note from a finance company of $150,309. In January of 2021, the Company paid off a note from a second finance company in the amount of $135,520. In March of 2021, the Company paid off a different note from the second finance company in the amount of $135,520. Subsequent the end of the quarter, the Company paid off a final note to the second finance company on April 30, 2021 in the amount of $77,323

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as recognized in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Executive Summary

 

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

 

Our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021, increased by 39% to $0.704 million compared with $0.506 million during the same period in 2020. An increased number of SaaS and MSP subscriptions drove growth in the quarter. The Company ended the quarter with over approximately 12,000 subscriptions on our platform up from approximately 7,000 subscriptions in the prior year period. Total revenue grew 14% sequentially in the first 3 months of 2021 compared to the 3 months ending Dec 31, 2020.

 

The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating segment which is the business of providing subscription based software as a service (SaaS), Managed IT (MSaaS) and related non-recurring professional IT and other services. The Company aggregates is operating segments based on similar economic and operating characteristics of its operations.

 

Revenue from Subscription Software and Services grew 46% to $0.588 million compared to $0.404 million during the same period in 2020. Professional Services and Other revenue grew 13% to $0.116 million compared to $0.103 million for the same period in 2020.

 

Subscription software and services revenue represented 84% of total revenue for the first quarter of 2021 compared to 80% of revenue for the same period in 2020. Professional services and other revenue represented 16% of total revenue for the first quarter of 2021 compared to 20% of revenue for the same period in 2020.

 

Gross profit percentage was 66% and 57% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Gross Profit increased $0.177 million compared to the same period a year ago. Gross profit margin expansion was driven by a greater growth rate of sales in subscription software and services that carry higher gross margins than Professional Services and other revenue. We expect the growth rate of our SaaS and MSaaS subscription offerings to grow faster than our Professional Services and other revenue over time. We believe the higher growth rate of recurring revenue SaaS and MSaaS offerings should continue to provide a mix shift that will benefit gross margin rate going forward.

 

Business Highlights and Trends

 

 

·

Product Traction. We continue to benefit from trends toward cloud-based SaaS offerings and electronic prescription adoption for improved safety and workflow. Regulatory mandates and approaching state deadlines are catalysts for the adoption electronic prescriptions delivered through the cloud.

 

·

Business Development. The Company has pursued and won contracts with larger enterprise health care businesses. In May of 2020, we won our first contract with a Dental Support Organization (DSO) and, currently, we have 18 DSO customers, with more anticipated contract wins in 2021.

 

·

HubSpot rollout. We began rolling out the HubSpot sales and marketing operations platform in the quarter to improve automation, efficiencies and lead tracking.

 

·

Acquisitions. In April, we acquired Advantech, a Scottsdale, AZ based MSP. Advantech will be accretive to our gross margins, profitability and growth, while leveraging our new marketing relationship with the Arizona Dental Association.

 

·

Capital raise. In the first four months of 2021, the company raised over $2 million of equity and $1.5 million in the form of convertible notes to fund growth and the acquisition of Advantech.

 

·

COVID-19. We continue to see the negative impact of COVID-19 as headwinds during 2020 to tailwinds in 2021 as health care businesses return to normal operations and look for SaaS offerings that better improve their workflow, regulatory compliance, insurance reimbursement and IT security and reliability.

Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2021 (“1Q 2021”) Compared to Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2020 (“1Q 2020”)

 

Revenues. Net revenues of $704,001 for the 1Q 2021 period increased $198,001 or 39% compared to $506,000 for the 1Q 2020 period. The increase between periods was due to recurring SaaS revenues generated by a rapid growth in subscribers. Revenue from Subscription Software and Services grew 46% to $587,851 compared to $403,575 during the same period in 2020. Professional Services and Other revenue grew 13% to $116,150 compared to $102,669 for the same period in 2020.

 

Cost of sales. Cost of sales of $240,033 for the 1Q 2021 period increased $21,033 or 10% compared to $219,000 for the 1Q 2020 period. The increase between periods was due primarily to increases in cost of services purchased that are related to our SaaS and MSaaS offerings. Cost of sales related to SaaS and MSaaS offerings are generally more fixed in nature than variable, allowing this these costs to grow slower than revenue growth.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $856,388 for the 1Q 2021 period increased $47,388 or 6% compared to $809,000 for the 1Q 2020 period. The increase between periods was primarily due to an increase in payroll expenses and other general and administrative expense to support a high rate of growth.

Depreciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses of $252,697 for the 1Q 2021 period increased $29,697 or 13% compared to $223,000 for the 1Q 2020 period. The increase between periods was primarily made of two components. The 1Q 2020 acquisition of TrinIT increased our quarterly amortization costs starting in 1Q 2020. In the third quarter of 2020, a “true up” for the acquisition of technology from Claricare added additional intangible assets of $255,581 to the balance sheet and subsequent additional amortization expense in 1Q 2021.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense of $167,797 for the 1Q 2021 period increased $132,797 or 379% compared to $35,000 in the 1Q 2020 period. The increase between periods was primarily due interest expense and fees for early payoff of convertible notes that are one-time in nature. Interest expense should return to much lower and normalized levels during the remainder of 2021.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 the Company generated an operating loss of $645,117. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit, total stockholders’ equity and net working capital deficit of $78,643,997, $546,176 and $1,651,681, respectively, on March 31, 2021. The Company’s activities were primarily financed through private placements of equity securities. The Company intends to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities to fund its operations. The Company is reliant on future fundraising to finance operations in the near future.

 

Currently, management intends to develop a vastly improved healthcare communications system and intends to develop alliances with strategic partners to generate revenues that will sustain the Company. While management believes in the viability of its strategy to increase revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. Management’s ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent upon its ability to continually increase the Company’s customer base and realize increased revenues from signed contracts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The primary factors that influence our liquidity include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of our equity and debt raises, revenues, cash collections from our clients, capital expenditures, and investments in research and development.

 

The following table summarizes the impact of operating, investing and financing activities on our cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 related to our operations:

The accompanying “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” provides a comparison of the amounts listed above.

 

Operating Activities: Net cash used by operating activities of $715,169, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 was $279,169 less than the $436,000 cash used by operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in cash utilized by operating activities compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to a $220,677 decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and to a lesser extent the cash impact of changes in other operating assets and liabilities. Future spending on operating activities is expected to be funded by the sale of and issuance of additional shares of common stock.

Investing Activities: Net cash used by investing activities of $48,682 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 compared to $556,000 cash used by investing activities for the three -month period ended March 31, 2020. The decrease of $132,318 in software development spending combined with a cash outlay of $375,000 to acquire the assets of TrinIT in the first quarter of 2020 not repeating in the first quarter of 2021. Future spending on investing activities is expected to be funded by the sale of and issuance of additional shares of common stock.

 

Financing Activities: Net cash provided by financing activities of $950,406 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 was $342,406 more than the $608,000 cash provided by financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. This was primarily due to larger cash proceeds of $1,417,313 for the issuance of common stock compared to Q1 2020, offset by payments on debt of $489,641 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 compared to payments on debt of $50,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

Credit Facilities

 

The Company’s line of credit was paid off in 2Q 2019 and its commercial banking business was moved. The Company currently has no active line of credit facility.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer, who from until March of 2021, filled the role of Acting Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, and after considering the controls implemented to mitigate the material weakness related to insufficient accounting personnel discussed below, he has concluded that, as of March 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to him and other members of our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We have not identified any change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our Chief Executive Officer, until March of 2021, filled the role of Acting Chief Financial Officer, was responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting refers to the processes designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

1.

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

 

2.

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and

 

 

3.

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Table of Contents

    

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of preventing and detecting misstatements on a timely basis. It is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, the risk that misstatements are not prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

In the course of completing its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, management identified a material weakness, relating to the number of personnel available to serve the Company’s accounting function. Specifically, management believed that we may not have been able to adequately segregate responsibility over financial transaction processing and reporting. Although we were unable to remediate the material weakness with current personnel, we were able to mitigate its potential impact, primarily through the greater involvement of senior management in the review and monitoring of financial transaction processing and financial reporting. Furthermore, we have hired a new Chief Financial Officer, who reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer and will be responsible for internal controls.

 

Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO (2013 Framework). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

 

This report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which exempts smaller reporting companies from the auditor attestation requirement.

8.4 Limitations on Indemnification. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted is

 

referred as the “Indemnifying Party”. The indemnification provided for in Section 8.2 and Section 8.3, as the case may be, shall be subject to the following limitations:

 

(A) The Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 8.2(B) or Section 8.3(B), as the case may be, unless and until the aggregate of all Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party exceeds $25,000 (the “Deductible”) and, thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall only be entitled to payment for, and the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable and required to pay, Damages in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the limitation in this Section 8.4(A) shall not apply to Damages arising from a breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.7, 3.22, 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5 or 4.10.

 

(B) The aggregate amount of Damages for which the Indemnifying Party may be liable pursuant to Section 8.2(B) or Section 8.3(B), as the case may be, shall not exceed $350,000; provided, however, that the limitation in this Section 8.4(B) shall not apply to Damages arising from a breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.7, 3.22, 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5 or 4.10.

In computing the amount of any such Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to fully utilize, at the highest marginal tax rate then in effect, all Tax items arising from the incurrence or payment of any Damages. If an Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any damages, subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by the Indemnifying Part in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

 

(D) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Indemnifying party, shall not be liable under this Article VIII for any Damages arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement if the Indemnified Party had actual knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Closing.

 

(E) If and to the extent Buyer is entitled to indemnification for Damages pursuant to this Article VIII, such indemnifiable Damages shall be satisfied: (i) first, from the Common Stock held by the Escrow Agent and, then, (ii) if, and only if, Buyer is entitled to indemnifiable Damages in excess of the amount of Common Stock then remaining in escrow, from Seller.

 

 
25

 

 

8.5 Third Party Claims.

 

(A) The Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice in writing to the Indemnifying Party of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any third party (“Third-Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third-Party Claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

(B) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8.5, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense, in each case at its own expense.

 

(C) If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third- Party Claim (including the right to settle any Third-Party Claim) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.5 (i) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of such Third-Party Claim, if the settlement does not release the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third-Party Claim or the settlement imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose. The fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by Indemnified Party.

 

(D) Each party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

 

8.6 Direct Claims. In the event the Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under this Article VIII against the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice in writing of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have actually prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. If, within the 30-day period following receipt of a claim notice, the Indemnifying Party provides written notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its indemnity obligation for any Damages with respect to such claim, the parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of jurisdiction determined pursuant to Section 9.8.

 

 
26

 

 

8.7 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 9.13, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions in this Article VIII.

Each claim notice shall be delivered simultaneously to the Escrow Agent and Seller and shall set forth a brief description of the basis upon which Buyer believes it is entitled to indemnification under the provisions of Article VIII of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Claim Amount, and Buyer’s calculation of the number of shares of Escrowed Stock required to satisfy such Escrow Claim Amount (in each case, determined in accordance with Section 5(b)). Seller shall have the right to dispute any claim notice, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the 30th day from the receipt of such claim notice (such 30th day, the “Deadline”) by delivering an objection notice (an “objection notice”) to the Escrow Agent and Buyer, setting forth the nature of Seller’s objection. If an objection notice is delivered hereunder, the Escrow Claim Amount to which such objection notice relates shall be deemed a “Disputed Amount.”

 

 
33

 

  

5.(a) The Escrow Agent shall deliver an executed stock power to the Buyer’s transfer agent (such delivery instructions set forth on Exhibit A) directing the transfer to the Buyer (in accordance with Section 5(b)), promptly following the applicable Deadline, the portion of any Escrow Claim Amount with respect to which no objection notice is delivered prior to the applicable Deadline. A number of shares of Escrowed Stock required to satisfy the Disputed Amount (as determined in accordance with Section 5(b)) (the “Disputed Share Amount”) shall be held by the Escrow Agent until the Escrow Agent shall have received either: (i) Joint Written Instructions (as defined below) executed by each of Seller and Buyer with respect to the Disputed Share Amount, at which time the Escrow Agent shall (y) promptly deliver an executed stock power to the Buyer’s transfer agent directing the transfer for the Disputed Share Amount or portion thereof, if any, as specified in the Joint Written Instructions and/or (z) retain the Disputed Share Amount or portion thereof, if any, as specified in the Joint Written Instructions in escrow hereunder, in each case, as directed in the Joint Written Instructions; or (ii) a judgment, order or decree of an arbitrator, court or other judicial body with respect to the Disputed Share Amount, together with a certificate of the presenting party to the effect that such judgment is final and from a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator having proper authority (a “Final Order”). If Buyer or Seller delivers a Final Order to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent will, as applicable, (A) deliver an executed stock power to the Buyer’s transfer agent directing the transfer to Buyer of the portion of the Disputed Share Amount Buyer is entitled to receive, as set forth in such Final Order, out of the Escrowed Stock held by the Escrow Agent hereunder after the expiration of 30 days from the receipt of such Final Order; provided, however, that if within the 30-day period after the delivery of such Final Order to the Escrow Agent and Seller, Seller delivers to the Escrow Agent and Buyer a certificate to the effect that it has a right to appeal from such judgment or seek review thereof in a higher court and intends to prosecute such appellate proceedings, and thereafter does prosecute such appellate proceedings, the Escrow Agent will make no disbursement hereunder to Buyer until 30 days after Buyer has delivered to the Escrow Agent and Seller a Final Order of the appellate court disposing of such proceedings, and then only in accordance with the judgment as in effect after the entry of such order, or until Buyer and Seller have delivered to the Escrow Agent a Joint Written Instruction as set forth above; and provided further, in the event that further appellate proceedings may be taken in a higher court, Seller may obtain a further stay of any disbursement by the Escrow Agent in the same manner and with the same duration and effect as provided for in the immediately preceding proviso clause; or (B) to the extent such Final Order provides that Seller is the prevailing party with respect to some or all of the Disputed Amount, continue to hold as part of the Escrowed Stock (if such Final Order is delivered prior to the Escrow Termination Date (as defined below)) or disburse to Seller (if such Final Order is delivered on or after the Escrow Termination Date) the Disputed Share Amount with respect to the portion of the Disputed Amount as to which Seller shall have prevailed.

  

(b) In the event that Buyer is entitled to receive payment in respect of an Escrow Claim Amount or portion thereof in accordance with this Escrow Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to receive a number of shares (the “Disbursement Shares”) of the Escrowed Stock determined by dividing the amount of the Escrow Claim Amount or portion thereof to which Buyer is entitled by $0.50, which shares shall be delivered to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement. In such event, (i) the Buyer and Seller shall issue and deliver Joint Written Instructions to the Escrow Agent, providing for the transfer of the Disbursement Shares to Buyer, (ii) to the extent the number of shares of Escrowed Stock exceeds the number of Disbursement Shares, the Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a statement representing a number of shares of Common Stock equal to such excess, issued in the name of the Escrow Agent and (iii) upon receipt of the documentation specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence, the Escrow Agent shall deliver a stock power to the Buyer’s transfer agent directing the transfer of Disbursement Shares to the Buyer.

 

 
34

 

  

(c) At any time, Buyer and Seller may deliver to the Escrow Agent written notice (a “Joint Written Instruction”), signed by a duly authorized representative of each of Buyer and Seller, directing Escrow Agent to disburse the Escrowed Stock or any portion thereof in the manner set forth in such Joint Written Instruction, that includes the amount of shares, name, address, and tax identification number for the payee of the Escrowed Stock, at which time the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver an executed stock power to the Buyer’s transfer agent directing the transfer of Escrowed Stock specified in such Joint Written Instructions in accordance with such Joint Written Instructions.

  

6. Buyer’s right to file claim notices under Section 4 of this Escrow Agreement shall terminate at the close of business on the date six (6) months after the date of this Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Termination Date”). On the first business day following the Escrow Termination Date, upon the delivery by the Escrow Parties to the Escrow Agent of Joint Written Instruction, the Escrow Agent shall deliver an executed stock power to the Buyer’s transfer agent directing the transfer to Seller of the balance, if any, of the shares of Escrowed Stock and any other funds or assets held by the Escrow Agent hereunder; provided, however, that if on the Escrow Termination Date there exists any Disputed Amount, and/or Escrow Agent has in its possession any claim notice or notices properly and timely delivered to Escrow Agent and Seller pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and Section 4 above as to which the Deadline has not occurred (a “Pending Claim Notice”), the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold, and shall direct transfers, in accordance with this Escrow Agreement of (i) the Disputed Share Amount with respect to such Disputed Amount and (ii) a number of shares of Escrowed Stock as may be required to satisfy the Escrow Claim Amount specified in the Pending Claim Notice (as determined in accordance with Section 5(b)).

 

7. The Escrow Agent shall have no duties or obligations hereunder except those specifically set forth herein, and such duties and obligations shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Escrow Agreement. In connection with its duties hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, request, consent, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram or other document furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper party or parties; and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for anything it may do or refrain from doing in connection with its duties hereunder except as a result of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. Buyer and Seller, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and its affiliates and its and their officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents, other representatives and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal expenses and costs), to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject to arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (each, a “Proceeding”); provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The Escrow Agent may consult counsel and shall be protected in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith on the advice of such counsel. In no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

  

8. The Escrow Agent shall be paid a one-time fee of $2,500 and reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with the performance of its duties and obligations under this Escrow Agreement, including without limitation fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants and other agents, tax preparation, reporting and filing, publications, and filing and recording fees; or in the event the Escrow Agent renders any service not contemplated in this Escrow Agreement or if there is any assignment of interest or any material modification in the subject matter of this Escrow Agreement. Buyer shall bear 100% of any and all of such expenses. The Escrow Agent shall render statements to Buyer and Seller setting forth in detail the amounts of its fees and charges hereunder and the basis upon which such fees and charges were computed and the period or periods covered thereby.

  

9. Any notices, affidavits or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered or mailed first class certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed if to Buyer, to Robert McDermott, President, iCoreConnect Inc., 13506 Summerport Village Parkway, #160, Windermere, Florida 34786 (with a copy to Samuel B Fortenbaugh III, Esq. 45 Rockefeller Plaza, Suite 2000, New York, New York 100111); if to Seller, to Computer Plumber, LLC, 5210 Poplar Tent Rd #20, Concord, NC 28027, Attention: Aaron Lindsey, Manager (with a copy to Bass, Dunklin, McCullough & Smith, PLLC, 6302 Fairview Road, Suite 580, Charlotte, NC 28210, Attn: S.

In the event that any federal, state, local or other governmental authority shall impose or assess any tax, levy or other charge on or against all or any part of the rentals paid or to be paid by Tenant under the terms of this lease, and Landlord is thereby required to collect from Tenant or pay such tax, levy or charge to such authority, Tenant covenants and agrees, within ten (10) days from written demand therefore, to pay to or reimburse Landlord all such charges as may be imposed or assessed, which, for the purposes of this lease, shall be deemed to be due from Tenant as additional rent.

In the event Tenant's check is dishonored by the bank on which it is drawn, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord Fifty Dollars ($50.00) as a handling charge and, if appropriate, the late charge. Returned checks must be redeemed by cash, cashier's check, certified check or money order. In the event more than one check is returned, Tenant agrees to pay all future rents and charges in the form of cashier's check, certified check or money order. The grace period provided in this section is strictly related to the liquidated damages for a late payment and shall in no way modify or stay Tenant's obligation to pay rent when it is due, nor shall the same preclude Landlord from pursuing the remedies under section 19, or otherwise allowed by law. 

 

SECTION 3.5 Property Taxes

 

All ad valorem real property taxes levied on the Building and Office Complex, including the leased premises shall be promptly paid by the Landlord when due.

ARTICLE 4 - CONSTRUCTION AND ALTERATION 

 

SECTION 4.1 Acceptance of Premises

 

Provided that Landlord has Substantially Completed all of Landlord’s Work, the taking of possession of the leased premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that said premises were in good and satisfactory condition. Tenant shall have the right, upon Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work, to conduct a walk-through of the leased premises with Landlord (at a time reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant) to confirm such Substantial Completion. 

 

SECTION 4.2 Changes and Additions to Buildings

 

Provided that at all times during the term of this lease Tenant is provided with reasonable access to parking and to use of the leased premises, Landlord hereby reserves the right at any time to make alterations or additions to, and to build additional offices on the building in which the leased premises are contained and to build adjoining the same. Landlord also reserves the right to construct and remove other buildings or improvements in the Office Complex from time to time and to make alterations thereof or additions thereto and to building additional stories on any such building or buildings and to build adjoining same and to construct double-deck or elevated parking facilities. Landlord further reserves the right to enter and use the leased premises and adjacent property for the purpose of installing, repairing and removing wiring, piping, ducts and conduits for service or performing other work related to such construction, alteration, or addition to the leased premises or other buildings in the Office Complex, provided that Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with the use of the leased premises by Tenant.

SECTION 19.2 Landlord's Remedies

 

19.2.1 If this Lease shall be terminated as provided in Section 19.1, Landlord or Landlord's agents or employees may immediately or at any time thereafter re-enter the Leased Premises and remove therefrom Tenant, its agents, employees, licensees, and any sub-tenants and other persons, firms or corporations, and all or any of its or their property therefrom, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law or by force or otherwise, without being liable to indictment or prosecution of damages therefore, and repossess and enjoy the Leased Premises, together with all alterations, additions, and improvements thereto. Landlord, in the event of such re-entry and repossession, may store Tenant's property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. 

 

19.2.2 In case of any such termination, re-entry or dispossess by summary proceedings or otherwise, the rents and all other charges required to be paid up to the time of such termination, re- entry or dispossess, shall be paid by Tenant and Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all reasonable expenses which Landlord may then or thereafter incur for legal expenses, attorneys' fees, brokerage commissions (applicable to the unexpired original term only) and all other reasonable costs paid or incurred by Landlord for the restoring of the Leased Premises to good order and condition and for reletting thereof. Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, relet the Leased Premises in whole or in part, for any rental then obtainable either in its own name or as agent of Tenant, for a term or terms which, at Landlord's option, may be for the remainder of the then current term of this Lease or for any longer or shorter period. Landlord shall have the duty to mitigate its damages arising under this Lease. 

 

19.2.3 If this lease be terminated as prescribed above, Tenant nevertheless covenants and agrees notwithstanding any entry or re-entry by Landlord whether by summary proceedings, termination or otherwise, to pay and be liable for on the days originally fixed herein for the payment thereof, amounts equal to the several installments of rent and other charges reserved as they would, under the terms of this Lease, become due if this Lease had not been terminated or if Landlord had not entered or re-entered and whether the leased premises be relet or remain vacant in whole or in part of for a period less than the remainder relet by the Landlord. Tenant shall be entitled to a credit, but not in excess of the rent or other charges reserved under the terms of this Lease, in the net amount of rent received by Landlord in reletting the Leased Premises after deduction of all expenses and costs incurred or paid in reletting the Leased Premises and in collecting the rent in connection therewith. As an alternative, at the election of Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages such a sum as at the time of such termination represents the amount of the excess, if any, of the then present value of the total fixed annual base rent and additional rent and other benefits which would have accrued to Landlord under this Lease for the remainder of the Lease term if the Lease terms had been fully complied with by the Tenant over and above the then present rental value of the Leased Premises for the balance of the term. Suit or suits for the recovery of the deficiency of damages referred to in this section or for any installment or installments of fixed annual base rent and additional rent hereunder, or for a sum equal to any such installment or installments, may be brought by Landlord at once or from time to time at Landlord's election and nothing in this Lease contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to await the date whereon this Lease or the term hereof would have expired by limitation had there been no such default by Tenant or no such cancellation or termination.

19.2.4 Tenant hereby expressly waives, so far as permitted by law, the service of any notice of intention to re-enter provided for in any statute, or of the institution of legal proceedings to that end, and Tenant, for and on behalf of itself and all persons claiming through or under Tenant also waives any and all right of redemption or re-entry or repossession under present or future laws including any amendments hereafter, or to restore the operation of this Lease. In case Tenant shall be dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court of judge or in case of re-entry or repossession by Landlord or in case of any expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant, so far as permitted by law, waive and will waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant's use or occupancy of the premises, or any claim of injury or damage. The terms "enter", "re-enter", "entry" or "re-entry", as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meaning. In the event Landlord commences any proceedings for non-payment of base rent or additional rent, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim in any such proceeding. This shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of Tenant's rights to assert such claim in any separate action or actions initiated by Tenant. 

 

19.2.5 No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other than existing or subsequent breach thereof. 

 

19.2.6 In the event of any breach by Tenant of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to enjoin such breach or threatened breach and shall have the right to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise. 

 

19.2.7 Each right and remedy of Landlord provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise. 

 

SECTION 19.3 Mechanics' Liens

19.3.2 If any mechanics' liens shall be filed against the Leased Premises or Landlord's Tract based upon any act of Tenant or anyone claiming through Tenant, Tenant after notice thereof from Landlord, or any person in privity of estate with Landlord, shall forthwith commence such action by bonding, deposit, payment or otherwise, as will remove or satisfy such lien within thirty (30) days. In the event Tenant does not remove or satisfy such lien within the thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall have the right to do so by posting a bond or undertaking and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for any and all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith within five (5) days after receipt by Tenant of Landlord's invoice therefore. These expenses include, but are not limited to, filing fees, legal fees and bond premiums. 

 

19.3.3 Nothing in this section shall be deemed or construed as (a) Landlord's consent to any person, firm or corporation for the performance of any work or services or the supply of any materials to the Leased Premises or any improvement thereon; or, (b) giving Tenant or any other person, firm or corporation any right to contract for or to perform or supply any work, services or materials that would permit or give rise to a lien against the Leased Premises or any part thereof.

Principal Amount: $327,900.00

Date of Note: May 6, 2020

 

PROMISE TO PAY. ICORECONNECT INC ("Borrower") promises to pay to FAIRWINDS Credit Union ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Three Hundred Twenty-seven Thousand Nine Hundred & 00/100 Dollars ($327,900.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from May 6, 2020, calculated as described in the "INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using an interest rate of 1.000%, until paid in full. The interest rate may change under the terms and conditions of the "INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT" section.

 

PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in 18 payments of $18,450.70 each payment. Borrower's first payment is due November 6, 2020, and all subsequent payments are due on the same day of each month after that, except the month of June when no payments will be due.

Borrower's final payment will be due on May 6, 2022, and will be for all principal and all accrued interest not yet paid. Payments include principal and interest. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any late charges; then to any accrued unpaid interest; and then to principal.

 

Maximum Interest Rate. Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note exceed (except for any higher default rate shown below) the lesser of 18.000% per annum or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

 

Interest Calculation Method. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.

 

Receipt of Payments. All payments must be made in U.S. dollars and must be received by Lender consistent with the following payment instructions: Borrower is required to make monthly payments delivered to Lender by 5:00 P.M. EST on the due date; in the event the due date is a legal holiday, payment must be delivered the next business day by 5:00 P.M. Lender may modify these payment instructions by providing updated payment instructions to Borrower in writing. If a payment is made consistent with Lender's payment instructions but received after 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on a business day, Lender will credit Borrower's payment on the next business day.

 

Prepayment. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower's making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: FAIRWINDS Credit Union, 135 W. Central Blvd Suite 120 Orlando, FL 32801.

 

Late Charge. If a payment is 15 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment.

 

Interest After Default. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased to 18.000%.

 

However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.

 

Default. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Note:

 

Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.

 

Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

 

Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the related documents.

 

False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

 

Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.

 

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

 

Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party of any of the indebtedness or any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

 

Change In Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.

 

Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of this Note is impaired.

PROMISSORY NOTE

(Continued)

Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

 

Cure Provisions. If any default, other than a default in payment, is curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if Borrower, after Lender sends written notice to Borrower demanding cure of such default: cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

 

Lender's Rights. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount.

 

PPP Terms and Conditions. Borrower agrees that the loan evidenced by the Note is being made in accordance with all rules and regulations of the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and its Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), as implemented by the SBA’s interim final regulations, rules and guidance (the “PPP Regulations”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower agrees that this Note shall be interpreted and construed to be consistent with the PPP Regulations and that, in the instance of any inconsistency between the terms of the Note and the PPP Regulations, the terms of the PPP Regulations shall control.

 

Borrower further agrees: (a) to provide Lender with any and all additional documents that either Lender or the SBA may require; (b) to execute such other acknowledgments or loan documents as Lender or the SBA may require; and (c) to comply in all respects with the requirements of the PPP Regulations as currently in effect or as may be amended.

 

This Note, and Lender’s rights hereunder, are fully assignable by Lender. When the SBA is the holder, this Note will be interpreted and enforced under federal law, including SBA regulations. Lender or SBA may use state or local procedures for filing papers, recording documents, giving notice, foreclosing liens, and other purposes. By using such procedures, SBA does not waive any federal immunity from state or local control, penalty, tax, or liability. As to this Note, Borrower may not claim or assert against SBA any local or state law to deny any obligation, defeat any claim of SBA, or preempt federal law.

 

Attorneys' Fees; Expenses. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will pay Lender the amount of these costs and expenses, which includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals. If not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

 

Jury Waiver. Lender and Borrower hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Lender or Borrower against the other.

 

Governing Law. This Note will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Florida without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Note has been accepted by Lender in the State of Florida.

 

Choice of Venue. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Orange County, State of Florida.

 

Dishonored Item Fee. Borrower will pay a fee to Lender of $35.00 if Borrower makes a payment on Borrower's loan and the check or preauthorized charge with which Borrower pays is later dishonored.

 

Statutory Lien. Borrower agrees that all loan advances under this Note are secured by all shares and deposits in all joint and individual accounts Borrower has with Lender now and in the future. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to apply the balance in these accounts to pay any amounts due under this Note when Borrower is in default under this Note. Shares and deposits in an Individual Retirement Account and any other account that would lose special tax treatment under state or federal law if given as security are not subject to the security interest Borrower has given in Borrower's shares and deposits.

 

Collateral. This loan is unsecured.

 

Successor Interests. The terms of this Note shall be binding upon Borrower, and upon Borrower's heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.

 

NOTIFY US OF INACCURATE INFORMATION WE REPORT TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES. Borrower may notify Lender if Lender reports any inaccurate information about Borrower's account(s) to a consumer reporting agency. Borrower's written notice describing the specific inaccuracy(ies) should be sent to Lender at the following address: FAIRWINDS Credit Union, Business Services, 135 W. Central Blvd Suite 200, Orlando, FL 32801.

 

General Provisions. If any part of this Note cannot be enforced, this fact will not affect the rest of the Note. Borrower does not agree or intend to pay, and Lender does not agree or intend to contract for, charge, collect, take, reserve or receive (collectively referred to herein as "charge or collect"), any amount in the nature of interest or in the nature of a fee for this loan, which would in any way or event (including demand, prepayment, or acceleration) cause Lender to charge or collect more for this loan than the maximum Lender would be permitted to charge or collect by federal law or the law of the State of Florida (as applicable). Any such excess interest or unauthorized fee shall, instead of anything stated to the contrary, be applied first to reduce the principal balance of this loan, and when the principal has been paid in full, be refunded to Borrower. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Note without losing them. Borrower and any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive presentment, demand for payment, and notice of dishonor. Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability. All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan or release any party or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lender's security interest in the collateral; and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender without the consent of or notice to anyone. All such parties also agree that Lender may modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other than the party with whom the modification is made. The obligations under this Note are joint and several.

FAIRWINDS CREDIT UNION

Paycheck Protection Program – COVID-19 Certification

 

The undersigned Borrower (“Borrower”) attests that its business was operational on or before February 15, 2020 and had employees for whom it paid salaries and payroll taxes, or a paid independent contractor.

 

Borrower fully disclosed to FAIRWINDS CREDIT UNION (“Lender”) whether an EIDL loan related to COVID-19 was obtained. Further, the Borrower is aware of their ability to refinance and possible impact to any amounts forgiven.

 

The information provided on all payroll reports, financial statements, tax returns and schedules are provided for the purpose of obtaining credit for the Borrower, for the purpose of Borrower guaranteeing credit for others and for continuing such credit if the loan is made. Borrower acknowledges that the Lender in its decision to grant, renew or continue such credit will rely on representations made in these statements.

 

Borrower attests that all payroll reports, financial statements, tax returns and any other information or application provided to Lender and/or to the Small Business Administration through this date or in the future are, and will be, true and correct in every detail and accurately represent the financial condition of the Borrower. Borrower will promptly notify Lender of any subsequent changes, which could affect the accuracy of the statements. Borrower is aware that knowing or willful false statements made for purposes of influencing the actions of the Lender can be a violation of federal law and may result in a fine or imprisonment or both and would constitute a default of the loan.

 

Allowable uses of loan funds include employee salaries, paid sick or medical leave, insurance premiums, mortgage interest, rent, and utility payments. Eligible payroll costs do not include compensation above $100,000 in wages. Borrower shall be eligible for loan forgiveness equal to the amount spent by the Borrower during an 8-week period after the origination date of the loan on payroll costs, interest payment on any mortgage incurred prior to February 15, 2020, payment of rent on any lease in force prior to February 15, 2020, and payment on any utility for which service began before February 15, 2020. Any loan amount not forgiven will operate according to the corresponding Note and loan terms agreed upon. The foregoing terms and conditions are subject to additional restrictions, rules and regulations currently in effect or to be promulgated by the Small Business Administration.

 

Borrower certifies that the loan is necessary to support Borrower’s ongoing operations due to the uncertainty of current economic conditions caused by COVID-19 and that Lender is relying on this certification for the loan. Loan funds will solely be used to retain workers and maintain payroll, lease, and utility payments. Borrower further certifies that they have reported, to the Lender, duplicative funds received for the same uses from another SBA Program.

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$535,020.73

 

March 18, 2021

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, iCoreConnect, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Maker”) hereby promises to pay to the order of Robert McDermott at such address as may be designated from time to time hereafter by the holder hereof (“Holder”), the principal sum of FIVE HUNDRED, THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND, TWENTY DOLLARS and SEVENTY-THREE CENTS ($535,020.73), together with interest on the principal balance outstanding, as hereinafter provided, in lawful money of the United States of America.

 

The principal outstanding hereunder shall bear simple interest at 18.00% per annum from the date of December 31, 2020 until paid in full. In year one of the two-year note, Interest payments shall be made monthly in lawful money of the United States of America. No payments of principal shall be required in the first year of the note. In the second year of the note, principal and interest payments shall me made on the first day of the month beginning January 1, 2021 in accordance with amortizing payment schedule in exhibit 1 until the note is fully repaid.

 

All outstanding sums of principal and interest hereunder are due and payable by December 31, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

Maker may repay this note at any time in whole or in part, with accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid, without notice, premium or penalty. Amounts repaid shall not be available for borrowing again later.

 

Upon receipt of proceeds from the issuance of debt or equity prior to the Maturity Date, Maker may (and in any event within 2 business days) prepay this note with such proceeds.

 

Maker shall pledge and grant a security interest in all assets to Holder.

 

All payments hereunder shall be applied first to the repayment of accrued and unpaid interest; and then to the reduction of principal. If this Note is not paid when due, Maker agrees to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees for legal services, including services rendered on appeal and services rendered in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding, along with all costs of collection.

 

Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the entire balance of principal, accrued interest, and other sums owing hereunder shall, at the option of Holder, become at once due and payable without notice or demand. In the event of the death or employment termination of the Holder, the entire balance of principal and accrued interest will be payable immediately.

 

Until the Note has been paid and fully satisfied and the commitments of Maker have been terminated, Holder shall be entitled to a security interest in any Collateral. The term “Collateral,” as used herein, shall include: (a) any property or assets, real or personal, tangible or intangible, now existing or hereafter acquired, of Maker; and (b) all supporting obligations, products and proceeds of the foregoing.
