INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

To Management

Flagship Solutions, LLC

We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial statements of Flagship Solutions, LLC, which comprise the balance sheet as of March 31, 2021, and the related statements of operations and members’ deficit and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes to the interim financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the FinancialInformation

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control sufficient to provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and fair presentation of interim financial information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to conduct our review in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to reviews of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial information as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The items which are subject to significant estimation include the provision of an allowance for doubtful receivable accounts, and capitalization and amortization of intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

Cash includes cash on-hand and cash in banks. At times during the year cash balances have exceeded FDIC limits. The Company believes there is no significant risk with respect to these deposits.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks andUncertainties

Financial instruments and assets subjecting the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company’s cash is maintained at major U.S. financial institutions. Deposits in these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.

The Company provides credit in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

Provisions are also made for other accounts receivable not specifically reviewed based upon historical experience. In the opinion of management, substantially all account receivables are considered to be realizable at the amounts stated in the accompanying balance sheets and no allowance for doubtful accounts is considered necessary. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, $2,295 and $8,288, of bad debt has been charged to expense, respectively.

The Company has the following performance obligations:

1) Equipment Sales – power infrastructure systems, servers, storage, and computer related equipment.

2) Software Sales – granting SSL certificates, IT infrastructure, and other licenses.

3) Managed Services

infrastructure analytics, weather analytics, cloud services, back up and disaster recovery, storage, and maintenance.

Equipment sales

For the Equipment sales performance obligation, the control of the product transfers at a point in time (i.e., when the goods have been shipped or delivered to the client’s location, depending on shipping terms). Noting that the satisfaction of the performance obligation, in this sense, does not occur over time as defined within ASC 606-10-25-27 through 29, the performance obligation is considered to be satisfied at a point in time (ASC 606-10-25-30) when the obligation to the client has been fulfilled (i.e., when the goods have left the shipping facility or delivered to the client, depending on shipping terms).

Software Licenses – granting SSL certificatesand other licenses

In the case of Licensing performance obligation, the control of the product transfers either at point in time or over time depending on the nature of the license. The revenue standard identifies two types of licenses of IP: a right to access IP and a right to use IP. To assist in determining whether a license provides a right to use or a right to access IP, ASC 606 defines two categories of IP: Functional and Symbolic. The Company’s license arrangements typically require the Company to make its proprietary content available to the client either through a download or through a direct connection. Throughout the life of the contract the Company does not continue to provide updates or upgrades to the license granted. Based on the guidance, the Company considers its license offerings to be akin to functional IP and will recognize revenue at the point in time the license is granted and/or renewed for a new period.

Managed Services

In the case of managed services performance obligation, the control of the product transfers either at point in time or over time depending on the terms of the contract. Whereas if the Company is the primary obligator, control is transferred over time. The Company uses the output method for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. The output method recognizes revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value to the customer of the goods or services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract.

Payment terms

The terms of the contracts typical range from 12 to 36 months with auto-renew options. The Company invoices clients one month in advance for its services plus any overages or additional services provided. Invoices are typically due in 30 days.

Warranties

The Company offers assurance-type warranties from 30 days to 1 year on its products. The Company estimates the costs associated with the warranty obligation using historical data of warranty claims and costs incurred to satisfy those claims. The Company estimates, based upon a review of historical warranty claim experience, the costs that may be incurred under our warranties and record a liability in the amount of such estimate at the time a product is sold. Factors that affect our warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. We periodically assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liability and adjust the accrual as claims data and historical experience warrants. The Company has assessed the costs of fulfilling its existing assurance-type warranties and has determined that the estimated outstanding warranty obligation on March 31, 2021 are immaterial to the Company’s financial statements.

Significant judgement

In the instances that contract have multiple performance obligation, the Company uses judgment to establish stand-alone price for each performance obligation separately. The price for each performance obligation is determined by reviewing market data for similar services as well as the Company’s historical pricing of each individual service. The sum of each performance obligation was calculated to determine the aggregate price for the individual services. Next the proportion of each individual service to the aggregate price was determined. That ratio was applied to the total contract price in order to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses. Advertising expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $8,060 and $16,487, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company files its income taxes on the accrual basis as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes, and thus no income tax expense has been recorded in the statements. Income from the partnership is taxed to the members in their individual returns on their share of the Company’s earnings. The Company’s net income or loss is allocated among the members in accordance with the Operating Agreement of the Company.

The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions which must be considered for disclosure.

The Federal income tax returns of the Company for 2020, 2019, and 2018 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for a period of three years from the date they are filed. There are no examinations currently in process.

NOTE 2 - EQUIPMENT

Acquisitions of furniture, equipment or improvements not expected to be consumed within one year of purchase are capitalized at cost. Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from five to seven years. A schedule of equipment follows:

NOTE 7 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Risks inherent in this highly competitive industry include, but are not limited to, product obsolescence, patent or proprietary right infringement.

COVID 19

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant worldwide uncertainty, volatility, and economic disruption. The extent to which COVID-19 will adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations is dependent upon numerous factors, many of which are highly uncertain, rapidly changing, and uncontrollable. These factors include, but are not limited to: (i) the duration and scope of the pandemic; (ii) governmental, business and individual actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic, including travel restrictions, quarantines, social distancing, work-from-home and shelter-in-place orders and shut-downs; (iii) the impact on U.S. and global economies and the timing and rate of economic recovery; (iv) potential adverse effects on the financial markets and access to capital; (v) potential goodwill or other impairment charges; (vi) increased cybersecurity risks as a result of pervasive remote working conditions; and (vii) our ability to effectively carry out our operations due to any adverse impacts on the health and safety of our employees and their families.

Vendors, such as Flagship, that provide essential services or products, including logistics and technology support are deemed to be essential businesses. As a result of the pandemic, all employees, including the Company’s specialized technical staff, are working remotely or in a virtual environment. The Company always maintains the ability for team members to work virtual and the Company will continue to stay virtual, until the State and or the Federal government indicate the environment is safe to return to work. The significant increase in remote working, particularly for an extended period of time, could exacerbate certain risks to the Company’s business, including an increased risk of cybersecurity events and improper dissemination of personal or confidential information, though the Company does not believe these circumstances have, or will, materially adversely impact its internal controls or financial reporting systems. If the COVID-19 pandemic should worsen, the Company may experience disruptions to our business including, but not limited to equipment, to its workforce, or to its business relationships with other third parties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Management

of Flagship Solutions, LLC

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Flagship Solutions, LLC, which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations, members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the FinancialStatements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Flagship Solutions, LLC as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Use of Estimates

Cash

Cash includes cash on-hand and cash in banks. At times during the year cash balances have exceeded FDIC limits. The Company believes there is no significant risk with respect to these deposits.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had four customers with an accounts receivable balance representing 65% of total accounts receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had two customers with an accounts receivable balance representing 67% of total accounts receivable.

Accounts Receivable/Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company sells its services to customers on an open credit basis. Accounts receivable are uncollateralized, non- interest-bearing customer obligations. Accounts receivables are typically due within 30 days. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the estimated accounts receivable that will not be collected due to credit losses and allowances. Provisions for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable are made for individual accounts based upon specific facts and circumstances including criteria such as their age, amount, and customer standing. Provisions are also made for other accounts receivable not specifically reviewed based upon historical experience. In the opinion of management, substantially all account receivables are considered to be realizable at the amounts stated in the accompanying balance sheets and no allowance for doubtful accounts is considered necessary. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, $8,288 and $7,013, of bad debt has been charged to expense, respectively.

Equipment Sales

For the equipment sales performance obligation, the control of the product transfers at a point in time (i.e., when the goods have been shipped or delivered to the client’s location, depending on shipping terms). Noting that the satisfaction of the performance obligation, in this sense, does not occur over time as defined within ASC 606-10-25- 27 through 29, the performance obligation is considered to be satisfied at a point in time (ASC 606-10-25-30) when the obligation to the client has been fulfilled (i.e., when the goods have left the shipping facility or delivered to the client, depending on shipping terms).

Software Sales

In the case of licensing performance obligation, the control of the product transfers either at point in time or over time depending on the nature of the license. The revenue standard identifies two types of licenses of IP: a right to access IP and a right to use IP. To assist in determining whether a license provides a right to use or a right to access IP, ASC 606 defines two categories of IP: Functional and Symbolic. The Company’s license arrangements typically require the Company to make its proprietary content available to the client either through a download or through a direct connection. Throughout the life of the contract the Company does not continue to provide updates or upgrades to the license granted. Based on the guidance, the Company considers its license offerings to be akin to functional IP and will recognize revenue at the point in time the license is granted and/or renewed for a new period.\

Managed Services

In the case of managed services performance obligation, the control of the product transfers either at point in time or over time depending on the terms of the contract. Whereas if the Company is the primary obligator, control is transferred over time. The Company uses the output method for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. The output method recognize revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value to the customer of the goods or services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract.

Payment terms

Warranties

The Company offers assurance-type warranties from 30 days to 1 year on its products. The Company estimates the costs associated with the warranty obligation using historical data of warranty claims and costs incurred to satisfy those claims. The Company estimates, based upon a review of historical warranty claim experience, the costs that may be incurred under our warranties and record a liability in the amount of such estimate at the time a product is sold. Factors that affect our warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. We periodically assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liability and adjust the accrual as claims data and historical experience warrants. The Company has assessed the costs of fulfilling its existing assurance-type warranties and has determined that the estimated outstanding warranty obligation on December 31, 2020 and 2019 are immaterial to the Company’s financial statements.

Significant judgement

In instances where contracts have multiple performance obligations, the Company uses judgment to establish a stand- alone price for each performance obligation. The price for each performance obligation is determined by reviewing the Company’s historical pricing of each individual service. The proportion of each performance obligation compared to the contract price would be used to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses. Advertising expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $100,348 and $285,758, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company files its income taxes on the accrual basis as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes, and thus no income tax expense has been recorded in the financial statements. Income from the partnership is taxed to the members in their individual returns on their share of the Company’s earnings. The Company’s net income or loss is allocated among the members in accordance with the Operating Agreement of the Company.

The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions which must be considered for disclosure.

The Federal income tax returns of the Company for 2019, 2018, and 2017 are subject to examination by the taxing authorities, generally for a period of three years from the date they are filed. There are no examinations currently in process.

NOTE 7 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Risks inherent in this highly competitive industry include, but are not limited to, product obsolescence, patent or proprietary right infringement.

COVID 19

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant worldwide uncertainty, volatility and economic disruption. The extent to which COVID-19 will adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations is dependent upon numerous factors, many of which are highly uncertain, rapidly changing and uncontrollable. These factors include, but are not limited to: (i) the duration and scope of the pandemic; (ii) governmental, business and individual actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic, including travel restrictions, quarantines, social distancing, work-from-home and shelter-in-place orders and shut-downs; (iii) the impact on U.S. and global economies and the timing and rate of economic recovery; (iv) potential adverse effects on the financial markets and access to capital; (v) potential goodwill or other impairment charges; (vi) increased cybersecurity risks as a result of pervasive remote working conditions; and (vii) our ability to effectively carry out our operations due to any adverse impacts on the health and safety of our employees and their families.

Vendors, such as Flagship, that provide essential services or products, including logistics and technology support are deemed to be essential businesses. As a result of the pandemic, all employees, including the Company’s specialized technical staff, are working remotely or in a virtual environment. The Company always maintains the ability for team members to work virtual and the Company will continue to stay virtual, until the State and or the Federal government indicate the environment is safe to return to work. The significant increase in remote working, particularly for an extended period of time, could exacerbate certain risks to the Company’s business, including an increased risk of cybersecurity events and improper dissemination of personal or confidential information, though the Company does not believe these circumstances have, or will, materially adversely impact its internal controls or financial reporting systems. If the COVID-19 pandemic should worsen, the Company may experience disruptions to its business including, but not limited to equipment, workforce, or to its business relationships with other third parties.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated events and transactions through April 12, 2021, which is the date that the financial statements were available to be issued, for possible recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTSOF DATA STORAGE CORPORATION.

References to “Data Storage”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Data Storage Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

On May 31, 2021, Data Storage Corporation (the “Company”) completed the merger (the “Merger”) contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Data Storage FL, LLC, a Florida limited liability company and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger Sub”), Flagship Solutions, LLC (“Flagship”), a Florida limited liability company, and the owners (collectively, the “Equityholders”) of all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company membership interests in Flagship (collectively, the “Equity Interests”), pursuant to which the Company acquired Flagship through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Flagship (the “Closing”), with Flagship being the surviving company in the Merger and becoming as a result the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.

Pursuant to the Merger, all of the Equity Interests that were issued and outstanding on May 31, 2021 immediately prior to the effectiveness of the filing of the Articles of Merger by Flagship and Merger Sub with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida, were converted into the right to receive an aggregate amount equal to $11,099,343, consisting of $6,149,343, paid in cash, and up to $4,950,000, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to reduction by the amount by which the valuation of Flagship (the “Flagship Valuation”), as calculated based on Flagship’s unaudited pro forma 2018 financial statements and audited 2019 and 2020 financial statements (the “2020 Audit”), is less than $10,500,000. Within fifteen (15) days after completion of the audit of Flagship’s financial statements for its 2019, 2020 and 2021 fiscal years (the “2021 Audit”), we will pay the Equityholders up to $4,950,000, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock, the number of shares to be based on the amount by which the Flagship Valuation, as calculated based on the 2021 Audit, exceeds $5,550,000, subject to a cap of $4,950,000. The cash merger consideration paid by us to the Equityholders at Closing reflects adjustments made, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for certain excluded liabilities assumed by us at Closing and for the amount by which Flagship’s estimated net working capital at Closing was more than the target working capital amount specified in the Merger Agreement.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, which are referred to as the unaudited pro forma financial statements, have been prepared to assist in the analysis of financial effects of the Merger. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations, which are referred to as the unaudited pro forma statements of operations, combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of Data Storage and Flagship, giving effect to the Merger, as if it had been completed on the first day of the period. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 were derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements of Data Storage for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the condensed financial statements of Flagship for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, which is known as the unaudited pro forma balance sheet, combines the historical balance sheets of Data Storage and Flagship as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, giving effect to the Merger, as if it had been completed on the first day of the period presented. The historical financial statements of Flagship have been adjusted to reflect certain reclassification and other conforming adjustments in order to align to Data Storage condensed financial statement presentation.

| 1 |

| --- |

Assumptions and estimates underlying the adjustments to the unaudited pro forma financial statements, which are referred to as the pro forma adjustments, are described in the accompanying notes. The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the (1) Merger; (2) reverse stock split; and (3) this public offering. The unaudited pro forma financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the Merger and other transactions occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma financial statements do not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of the combined company following the Merger. The unaudited pro forma financial statements include the assets and liabilities of Flagship adjusted for Data Storage’s historical cost basis. The final purchase price allocation may be materially different than that reflected in the pro forma purchase price allocation presented herein.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements, although helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, do not reflect the benefits of expected synergies or cost savings (or associated synergies or costs to achieve such savings), opportunities to earn additional revenue, or other factors that may result as a consequence of the Merger and, accordingly, do not attempt to predict or suggest future results. Further, the unaudited pro forma financial statements do not reflect (i) any other acquisition subsequent to the balance sheet date presented or (ii) the effect of any regulatory actions that may impact the results of the combined partnership following the Merger.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with:

●	the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma financial statements;

DATA STORAGE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO PROFORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the historical financial statements of Data Storage after giving effect to the acquisition of Flagship.

Historical financial information has been adjusted in the pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations to give effect to pro forma events that are: directly attributable to the (1) Merger; (2) reverse stock split; and (3) the public offering.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement and in connection with the Merger, Data Storage acquired all assets of Flagship. As a result of the transaction, (i) Data Storage is the sole shareholder of Flagship, and Flagship has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; (ii) Flagship’s financial statements has been consolidated with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Data Storage (collectively, the “Merger Transaction”).

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements do not necessarily represent the actual results that would have been achieved had the companies been combined at the beginning of the year, nor may they be indicative of future operations. These unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the companies’ respective historical financial statements and notes included thereto.

2. MERGER CONSIDERATION STRUCTURE

The following details the merger with Flagship:

●	$6,149,343 was paid in cash to Equityholders at Closing, subject to: (1) reduction for Excluded Liabilities, and (2) adjustment in connection with a NWC adjustment pursuant to Section 1.9(a) (i.e., Closing NWC is more or less than Target NWC). Any Excluded Liabilities or downward NWC adjustment at Closing would reduce the $5,550,000 Closing cash payment on a dollar-for-dollar basis. The Closing cash payment is not subject to adjustment based on the 2020 Audit-related Company Valuation.
●	Upon completion of the 2021 Audit, the<br> Equityholders will receive additional shares of our common stock equal to the excess of: (1) the Company Valuation calculated based<br> on 2021 Audit (up to a maximum of $10,500,000), over (2) the $5,550,000 base Closing cash payment (ignoring for this purpose any<br> reduction relating to Excluded Liabilities or adjustment relating to a NWC adjustment).

●

Any Excluded Liabilities or downward NWC adjustment at Closing would reduce the $5,550,000 Closing cash payment on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
