PART I
Item 1. Business
Overview
Headquartered in Pittsford, New York, Infinite Group is a developer of cybersecurity software and related cybersecurity consulting, advisory, and managed information security services. We principally sell our software and services through indirect channels such as Managed Service Providers (“MSPs”), Managed Security Services Providers (“MSSPs”), agents and distributors and government contractors, whom we refer to collectively as our channel partners. We also sell directly to end customers.
We believe our ability to succeed depends on how successful we are in differentiating ourselves in the cybersecurity market at a time when competition and consolidation in these markets are on the rise. Our strategy to differentiate our cybersecurity software and services from our competitors is to combine customized software and professional services, and grow our business by designing, developing, and marketing cybersecurity software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) solutions that can be deployed in myriad environments. Software and services are initially developed in our wholly-owned subsidiary, IGI CyberLabs (“CyberLabs”), to fill technology gaps we identify, and then we bring these software and services to market through our existing channel partner and customer relationships.
We are building the next generation of Nodeware®, a patented, cloud native SaaS solution that automates network asset identification, fingerprinting, automated patching and remediation through an integrated generative artificial intelligence (“GenAI”) vulnerability management platform. By leveraging Gen AI at the core and through to the user experience, we are making vulnerability and threat intelligence data more actionable and automated, with greater fidelity and unmatched predictive capabilities. We are scaling using Gen AI driven insights towards a complete Gen AI powered attack surface management. We are integrating across IT ecosystems via ISVs, PSAs, and other strategic alignments as we continue to develop IP. We continue to develop software in and around the attack surface and leverage the technology structure of Nodeware to further develop other solutions that enable us to grow with market needs/demand. Our ability to bring Nodeware and vulnerability management to a new level will be predicated on global expansion into other markets through our cloud infrastructure and cloud licensing capabilities to enable other technology providers the ability to easily integrate and license our solutions into their own hosted cloud.
IGI has two patents and one patent pending. As our IP expands, inclusive of GenAI and other solutions that are developed off the Nodeware technology infrastructure, we will be investigating additional patent opportunities and evaluating the market value of our current IP portfolio.
Our software and services are designed to simplify and manage the security needs of our customers and channel partners in a variety of environments. We focus on the small and medium-sized enterprises market. We support our channel partners by providing recurring-revenue business models for both services and through our cybersecurity SaaS solutions. Products may be sold as standalone solutions or integrated into existing environments to further automate the management of cybersecurity and related IT functions.
As part of these software and service offerings we:
| · | Internally developed and brought to market Nodeware®, a patented SaaS solution that automates network asset identification, and cybersecurity vulnerability management and monitoring. Nodeware simply and affordably enhances security by proactively identifying, monitoring, and addressing potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities on networks, which creates enhanced security to safeguard against hackers and ransomware. Nodeware provides an economical solution for small and medium-sized enterprises as compared to more costly solutions focused on enterprise-sized customers and is designed to accommodate the varying network needs of our end customers’ organizations and networks. Nodeware’s flexibility allows it to span from a single network to several subnetworks, as well as accommodating larger, more complex organizations with more advanced network needs. Nodeware is sold as a SaaS solution and continuously releases enhancements, updates, and upgrades to stay current with security needs and changes in the market. Nodeware is also designed to be integrated into other technology platforms. We primarily sell Nodeware through our channel partners, with a small percentage being sold directly to end customers. |
|
|
|
| · | In addition to our proprietary software and services we also act as a master distributor for other cybersecurity software, principally Webroot a cloud-based endpoint security platform solution, where we market to and provide support for over 225 small channel partners across North America. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, our software revenue was approximately $1,326,000, with approximately 56% of that being related to Nodeware; |
|
|
|
| · | Provide cybersecurity consulting and advisory services to channel partners and direct customers across different markets, including banking, manufacturing, supply chain, and technology. As part of our consulting and advisory services, we are contracted to support existing information technology and executive teams at both the customer and channel partner level, and provide security leadership and guidance. We validate overall corporate and infrastructure cybersecurity with the goal of maintaining and securing the integrity of confidential client information, preserving the continuity of services, and minimizing potential data damage from threats and incidents. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, our cybersecurity consulting services revenue, excluding software sales, was approximately $921,000; and |
|
|
|
| · | Provide managed support services related to information security, principally as a subcontractor for Peraton, a large information technology provider and U.S. government contractor, by providing in-depth troubleshooting, backend analysis, and technical and security support, commonly referred to as Level 2 support, for mission critical technical infrastructure from the server level to the end user interface application in a critical government environment. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, our managed support services revenue was approximately $4,315,000. |

Sales and Marketing Strategy
Approximately 90% of our business comes from our channel sales and approximately 10% from direct sales to end customers. Managed support services accounts for approximately 64% of total sales, while cybersecurity and software accounts for approximately 36% of total sales.
Virtually all managed information security support services revenue is derived from one customer, a major independent agency of the U.S. Government for which we manage one of the nation’s largest physical and virtual Microsoft Windows environments as a subcontractor through our channel partner, Peraton. We are working to expand our managed information security support services business with our channel partner Peraton, and to potentially grow the current federal enterprise customer and to expand to other Peraton customers.
We sell our cybersecurity software and services, including Nodeware, through our channel partners, which include direct channel partners, Telarus, TD SYNNEX, and Staples, and through our direct cybersecurity services teams. Our cybersecurity services include Chief Information Security Team as a Service (CISOTaaS ™), PenLogic™ penetration testing services, security assessments, incident response and others, and are provided through our channel partners and direct to end customers as a cybersecurity solution to the technical services they provide. Our channel partners utilize our expertise in cybersecurity to bring additional services to their end customers that are beyond their normal scope of offerings, and building our network of channel partners allows us the ability to efficiently gain access to a greater number of customers. We continue to drive development of our cybersecurity business through channel and direct marketing, social media programs, and fostering our extensive cybersecurity industry relationships. We are not reliant on any one customer for our cybersecurity software and services sales given that we work with a number of channel partners and direct customers. In addition to our cybersecurity software and services, we provide from time to time other information technology consulting services to existing clients.
Recent Developments
In June 2021, we created IGI CyberLabs, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, to support our Nodeware solution and continued software development. CyberLabs will also drive product and platform enhancements in Nodeware and new cloud and SaaS cybersecurity related products that will be brought to market through our growing direct customer and channel partner relationships. We believe a continued focus on intellectual property development creates differentiation in the market for cybersecurity.
On November 3, 2021, we entered into a financing arrangement (the “Bridge Loan”) with Mast Hill Fund, L.P. (the “Lender”), a Delaware limited partnership. In exchange for a promissory note, Lender agreed to lend the Company $448,000, which bears interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, less $44,800 original issue discount. Under the terms of the Loan, amortization payments are due beginning March 3, 2022, and each month thereafter with the final payment due on November 3, 2022.
On December 15, 2021, our board of directors (the “Board”) approved a reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock by a ratio within the range of 3-to-1 and 75-to-1 of our outstanding shares of common stock and recommended that the stockholders of the Company authorize the Board, in its discretion, for one year, to determine the final ratio, effective date, and date of filing of the certificate of amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, in connection with the reverse stock split. On January 26, 2022, the company’s stockholder voted to authorize the reverse stock split. The record date of the split is October 17, 2022, with a final ratio of 75-1 for the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split did not impact the number of authorized shares of common stock which will remain at 60,000,000 shares.
On February 15, 2022, we entered into a second financing arrangement together with the Bridge Loan, (the “Loans”) with Lender. In exchange for a promissory note, Lender agreed to lend the Company $370,000, which bears interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, less $37,000 original issue discount. Under the terms of the Loans, amortization payments are due beginning four months from the issue date, and each month thereafter with the final payment due on one year anniversary of the Loans. Additionally, in the event of a default under the Loans or if the Company elects to pre-pay the Loans, the Lender has the right to convert any portion or all of the outstanding and unpaid principal and interest into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $7.50 per share. As additional consideration for the second Mast Hill Loan, the Company issued the “Lender” a 5-year warrant to purchase 12,334 shares of Company common stock at a fixed price of $12.00 per share. J.H. Darbie & Co., Inc.

The Company has granted the Finder customary “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” for more information regarding the Loans.

Additionally, in the event of a default under the Loan or if the Company elects to pre-pay the Loan, the Lender has the right to convert any portion or all of the outstanding and unpaid principal and interest into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $7.50 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including issuances of Company common stock below the conversion price. The Company is not required to issue additional shares to Lender in the event an adjustment to the conversion price occurs. Except for the option to convert the note in the event of a pre-payment, there is no pre-payment penalty associated with the promissory note. The Loan is subject to customary events of default, including cross-defaults on the Loan agreements and on other indebtedness of the Company, violations of securities laws (including Regulation FD), and failure to issue shares upon a conversion of the note. Amounts due under the Loan are subject to a 15% penalty in the event of a default. As additional consideration for the financing, the Company issued Lender a 5-year warrant to purchase 9,867 shares of Company common stock at a fixed price of $12.00 per share, subject to price adjustments for certain actions, including dilutive issuances, representing 40% warrant coverage on the principal amount of the Loan.

No material relationship exists between the Company or its affiliates and Lender. J.H. Darbie & Co., Inc.

Business Strategy
We have a threefold business strategy composed of:
| · | providing differentiated cybersecurity software and services to small to mid-sized enterprises who lack the internal resources to focus on cybersecurity related matters by combining customized software and professional services; |
|
|
|
| · | designing, developing, and marketing cybersecurity SaaS solutions, including our Nodeware solution; and |
|
|
|
| · | identifying other cybersecurity companies to acquire as part of a strategic roll-up strategy. |
We believe our ability to succeed depends on how successful we are in differentiating ourselves in the market at a time when competition and consolidation in these markets is on the rise. Our software and services are designed to simplify the security needs of our customers and channel partners, with a focus on the small to mid-sized enterprises, and we believe our ability to integrate our product and service offerings differentiates them from our competitors. In addition, we support our channel partners by providing recurring-revenue business models for both services and our cybersecurity SaaS solutions.
Cybersecurity is a constantly evolving field, so we devote significant efforts in developing proprietary software and services to meet our customer and channel partners’ evolving needs. These efforts have resulted in the development of our patented.and patent-pending Nodeware solution. IGI has two patents and one patent pending. As our IP expands, inclusive of GenAI and other solutions that are developed off the Nodeware technology infrastructure, we will be investigating additional patent opportunities and evaluating the market value of our current IP portfolio. We expect to continue to make significant investments in developing other intellectual property to serve as the core to other proprietary software and services.
Historically, a significant portion of our revenues has been derived through our managed support services, however, we believe our cybersecurity SaaS solutions, including Nodeware, present an opportunity for significant growth. We believe that Nodeware’s ability to be deployed in an underserved market segment, across a wide variety of networks and the ability to integrate it into existing and new cybersecurity software and services, will allow us to significantly grow this segment of our business. Similarly, we believe Nodeware’s SaaS recurring revenue business model and its flexibility as a standalone or integrated solution makes it an attractive part of our channel partners’ portfolio of products. Accordingly, in 2023 and 2024, we made significant investments in Nodeware sales and marketing to grow our team of cybersecurity sales and technical consultants. As a result, we are seeing the pipeline growth expected from focused efforts, which we anticipate will continue revenue growth in 2025 and beyond.
We believe the market for cybersecurity services for small and medium-sized enterprises is fragmented and does not currently meet the needs of this customer base. The market is fragmented and is beginning to consolidate, which is why we are seeking to strategically acquire other cybersecurity technology and services companies.
The following sections define specific components of our business strategy.
Nodeware®
Nodeware is a patented, cloud native SaaS solution that automates network asset identification, fingerprinting, automated patching and remediation through an integrated generative artificial intelligence (“GenAI”) vulnerability management platform. Nodeware simply and affordably enhances security by proactively identifying, monitoring, and addressing potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities on networks, whichcreates enhanced security to safeguard against hackers and ransomware. Nodeware’s flexibility allows it to span from a single network to several subnetworks, as well as accommodating larger, more complex organizations with more advanced network needs. Nodeware assesses vulnerabilities in a computer network using proprietary scanning technology to capture a comprehensive view of the security exposure of a network infrastructure. Users receive alerts and view network information through a proprietary, web enabled dashboard. Continuous and automated internal scanning and external on demand scanning are components of this offering.
IGI has two patents and one patent pending. As our IP expands, inclusive of GenAI and other solutions that are developed off the Nodeware technology infrastructure, we will be investigating additional patent opportunities and evaluating the market value of our current IP portfolio.
We are building the next generation of Nodeware®, by leveraging GenAI at the core and through the user experience, we are making vulnerability and threat intelligence data more actionable and automated, with greater fidelity and unmatched predictive capabilities. We are scaling using GenAI driven insights towards a complete GenAI powered attack surface management. We are integrating across IT ecosystems via ISVs, PSAs, and other strategic alignments as we continue to develop IP. We continue to develop software in and around the attack surface and leverage the technology structure of Nodeware to further develop other solutions that enable us to grow with market needs/demand. Our ability to bring Nodeware and vulnerability management to a new level will be predicated on global expansion into other markets through our cloud infrastructure and cloud licensing capabilities to enable other technology providers the ability to easily integrate and license our solutions into their own hosted cloud.
Nodeware provides an economical solution for small and medium-sized enterprises as compared to costly solutions focused on enterprise sized customers and is designed to accommodate the varying network needs of our end customers’ organizations and networks. Nodeware is sold as a SaaS solution and continuously releases enhancements, updates, and upgrades to stay current with security needs and changes in the market. Nodeware is also designed to be integrated into other technology platforms. We primarily sell Nodeware through our channel partners, with a small percentage being sold directly to end customers. Nodeware creates an opportunity for our channel partners to sell and use a product that provides greater visibility into the network security of an end customer. Since 2018, we have continued to expand our portfolio of channel partners, which now includes Telarus, TD SYNNEX, Staples, and a growing list of MSPs, MSSPs, agents and distributors and government contractors.

In June 2021, we created IGI CyberLabs, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, to support our Nodeware solution and continued software development. CyberLabs’s overarching mission is to drive sales of Nodeware, which we believe will drive monthly and annualized recurring revenue. CyberLabs will also drive product and platform enhancements across other current future subsidiaries as IGI’s strategic roll up of cybersecurity companies comes to fruition. This also enhances our ability to bring new cloud and SaaS cybersecurity related solutions to market through our growing channel partner relationships.
Cybersecurity Services
In addition to Nodeware, we provide cybersecurity consulting services that include incident response, security awareness training, cybersecurity risk management, IT governance and compliance, security assessment services, (CISOTaaS ™) and PenLogic™ penetration testing services offerings to channel partners and direct customers across different markets, including banking, manufacturing, supply chain, and technology, in North America. Our cybersecurity consulting projects leverage different technology platforms and processes, such as Nodeware, to create documentation and processes that a customer can use to continually improve overall IT governance and corporate security. We validate overall network and infrastructure security with the goal of maintaining the integrity of confidential client information, preserving the continuity of services, and minimizing potential data damage from cybersecurity threats and incidents. We continue to enhance our cybersecurity services based on feedback from customers and changes in the market.
Managed Support Services
We also provide managed support services related to information security, principally as a subcontractor for Peraton, a large information technology provider and U.S. government contractor, where we assume the responsibility for providing a defined set of cybersecurity services. These services typically include in-depth troubleshooting, backend analysis, and technical and security support, commonly referred to as Level 2 support, for mission critical technical infrastructure from the server level to the end user interface application in a critical government environment.
Intellectual Property
We believe that our intellectual property is an asset that will contribute to the growth and profitability of our business. We rely on a combination of patented, patent-pending and confidentiality procedures, trademarks and contractual provisions to establish and protect our intellectual property rights in the United States and abroad. We intend to rely on both registration and common law protection for our trademarks.
In May 2016, we filed a provisional patent application for our proprietary product, Nodeware, and launched it commercially in November 2016. In May 2017, we filed a utility patent application for Nodeware: U.S. Patent No. 10,999,307, was issued on May 4, 2021, for NETWORK ASSESSMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS THEREOF U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 15/600,297, filed May 19, 2017, claiming priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62/338,904, filed May 19, 2016. The patent will remain in effect for four years from the date of issue and may be extended for up to twenty years from the filing date. Therefore, the expiration date of the subject patent, assuming all milestones to extend are met, is July 19, 2037.
In December 2019, we filed a second provisional patent application and in December 2020 we filed the subsequent action on the patent on Nodeware. On December 19, 2023, U.S. Patent number 11,848,954 was issued for NETWORK ASSESSMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS THEREOF.
On December 24, 2020, we filed U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 17/133,757 METHODS FOR INVENTORYING NETWORK HOSTS AND DEVICES HEROF.
Since 2020, we created updates and improvements to the platform in response to COVID-19 needs and impact such as a downloadable Windows executable version along with Windows, Mac, and Linux Agents that could be downloaded to a remote PC or server. A number of enhancements related to data management, threat intelligence, and user functionality were part of these updates.
The efforts we have taken to protect our intellectual property may not be sufficient or effective. As a result of this uncertainty and overall significance to the financial statements, these costs have been expensed.
The U.S. patent system permits the filing of provisional and non-provisional patent applications. A non-provisional patent application is examined by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and can mature into a patent once that office determines that the claimed invention meets the standards for patentability.
Our current patent and trademark portfolio consists of two patents for the Nodeware solution and process for scanning for vulnerabilities and a pending patent covering the methodologies associated with identifying and cataloging the assets on or across any physical or cloud network, together with a registered trademark for the “Nodeware” name and other trademarks and tradenames associated with our company and products. We intend to continue to work to enhance our intellectual property position on the Nodeware solution and in other appropriate cybersecurity technology we generate.

Research and Development
Our research and development efforts are focused on ensuring our software and services continually adapt to ever-evolving cybersecurity threats, developing new and improved functionality to meet our customers’ needs, and to enable robust and efficient integration with other industry solutions. Our research and development team is responsible for the design, development, testing and quality of our software, including Nodeware, and works to ensure that our software is available, reliable and stable.
We believe the timely development of new features and the enhancement of our existing solution(s) that address continuously evolving cybersecurity risks is essential to maintaining our competitive position. Our research and development team works closely with our channel partners, customers, and internal teams to collect user feedback to enhance our development process to continually incorporate suggestions and feedback. We also believe our research and development teams’ focus on developing new products will help us expand our business and improve our market position. We invest substantial resources in research and development to ensure that the functionalities of Nodeware can be robustly and efficiently integrated with other industry solutions because we believe this is key to our ability to expand the presence of Nodeware and our other software and services in the cybersecurity market. We utilize an agile development process to deliver numerous releases, fixes and feature updates on a regular basis and capitalize qualifying costs of developing larger scale projects. Our research and development team is primarily based in Pittsford, New York, and we maintain additional research and development capabilities in certain other locations who supplement our core team.
In June 2021, we created IGI CyberLabs, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, to support our Nodeware solution and continued software development.CyberLabs will also drive product and platform enhancements in Nodeware and new cloud and SaaS cybersecurity related products that will be brought to market through our growing direct customer and channel partner relationships. We believe a continued focus on intellectual property development creates differentiation in the market for cybersecurity.
Costs incurred prior to reaching technological feasibility are expensed as incurred, and subsequently they are capitalized until product launch.
Certifications
We possess certifications with our business and technology partners and our technical support personnel maintain a number of relevant certifications and qualifications in certain software applications and in the cybersecurity space. We believe having these certifications and qualifications demonstrates to our channel partners and customers that we have the appropriate level of expertise to support their needs.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information provided in our reports, you should consider the following factors carefully in evaluating our business and us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, which we currently deem immaterial or that are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in general, such as competitive conditions, may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Risks Related to our Business and Financial Condition
In the past, we have identified conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and it is possible that conditions and events in the future may negatively impact our ability to continue as a going concern.
As of December 31, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $8.8 million. We reported a net loss of approximately $1,648,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. We reported a stockholders’ deficiency of $10,193,488 as of December 31, 2024. We had net loss of approximately $1,855,000 in 2023. At December 31, 2023, we had a stockholders’ deficiency of $8,551,861. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we engaged in multiple short term funding arrangements. The Company received proceeds of approximately $2,391,000. We are exploring additional sources of financing, including debt and equity, and anticipate significant growth of business. In the future, if we are unable to obtain sufficient funding to support our operations, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate all our research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or commercialization efforts, and our financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected, and we may be unable to continue as a going concern. Our report from our independent registered public accounting firm contains statements expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Future reports could also contain this wording. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, we will be unable to fully fund our operations and to otherwise execute our business plan.
Until such time, if ever, that we can generate substantial revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs primarily through equity offerings and debt financings. Our ability to raise capital, whether through equity or through debt, is based, in part, on market events and conditions out of our control. We do not have any future committed source of external funds.
If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate our future product and service development or commercialization efforts.
Our efforts to commercialize our Nodeware solution may not be successful.
We have two patents granted and one patent pending relating to our Nodeware solution. The efforts we have taken to protect our intellectual property may not be sufficient or effective. Additionally, there is no guarantee that our Nodeware solution will perform as expected or as needed.
In order to protect our interest in Nodeware, we sell licenses permitting customers’ access. Licenses are protected through our EULA (end user licensing agreement), reseller/partner contracts, and through the cloud platform it resides in, enabling us to manage subscriptions, use and distribution of the platform. We face a risk of reputational harm and potential intellectual property theft if a licensee mistakenly or intentionally misuses our products. Licensing may also add an expense to our overall cost structure that is not supported by the market for like products.
If we do not successfully develop enhancements or new software, or scale our platform effectively, our operating results and our business may be harmed.
The cybersecurity market is characterized by rapid technological advances, customer price sensitivity, short product and service life cycles, intense competition, changes in customer requirements, frequent new product introductions and enhancements and evolving industry standards and regulatory mandates. Any of these factors could create downward pressure on pricing and gross margins, and could adversely affect our renewal rates, as well as our ability to attract new customers. Our future success will depend on our ability to enhance existing software, introduce new software on a timely and cost-effective basis, meet changing customer needs, integrate, and extend our core technology into new applications, and anticipate and respond to emerging cybersecurity threats. We must also continually change and improve our software and services in response to changes in operating systems, application software, computer and communications hardware, networking software, data center architectures, programming tools and computer language technology. In addition, our future growth depends upon our ability to continue to meet the expanding needs of our customers and to scale our software and services to meet these expanding needs and expanding customer base. As a result, we must continue to dedicate significant financial and other resources to our research and development efforts.
We may not be able to anticipate future market needs and opportunities, develop enhancements or new software to meet such needs or opportunities, or scale our platforms to maintain the performance of our software and services, in a timely manner or at all. To the extent that we do not successfully develop enhancements or new software, or scale our platform effectively, our operating results and our business may be harmed.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our business could be harmed, or we could be required to incur significant expenses to enforce our rights.
We believe that our intellectual property is an asset that may contribute to the growth and profitability of our business. We rely on a combination of patented, patent-pending and confidentiality procedures, trademarks, and contractual provisions to establish and protect our intellectual property rights in the United States and abroad. We intend to rely on both registration and common law protection for our trademarks. Despite our efforts, the steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate to preclude misappropriation of our proprietary information or infringement of our intellectual property rights, and our ability to police such misappropriation or infringement is uncertain. Enforcing our intellectual property rights, if necessary, is difficult, time-consuming, resource-intensive, expensive, and uncertain. Litigation may become necessary and, if so, it may come at a substantial cost and cause diversion of management’s resources, which could harm our business.
We may need to defend against intellectual property infringement claims or misappropriation claims, which may be time-consuming, resource-intensive, and expensive.
Although we have not in the past been subject to claims that any of our products or services infringe intellectual property rights of a third-party, we could be subject to such claims in the future. It’s possible that litigation could result. We do not know whether we will prevail in such proceedings given the highly complex, technical issues and inherent uncertainties in intellectual property litigation. Enforcing our intellectual property rights, if necessary, is difficult, time-consuming, resource-intensive, expensive, and uncertain.
If a challenge to our intellectual property rights results in an adverse outcome, then we could be required to stop the use of our products, services, or technology, pay damages for infringement, and expend resources developing products, services, or technology that are non-infringing.
We experience fluctuations in quarterly and annual operating results.
Our quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated in the past and likely will fluctuate in the future. The demand for our products is driven largely by the demand for cybersecurity solutions. Accordingly, the cybersecurity industry is affected by market conditions that are often outside our control. Our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to a number of factors, including general economic, industry and market conditions, the introduction or adoption of new technologies that compete with our software and services, the length and expense of our sales cycle for our software and services, the loss of a key customer and publicity regarding security breaches generally and the level of perceived threats to IT security. As a result of these factors and other risks discussed in this section, or the cumulative effect of some of these factors, may result in fluctuations in our operating results.
In addition, we recognize revenues from subscriptions over the term of the relevant service period, which is typically one year. As a result, a significant amount of our reported revenues in each quarter are derived from the recognition of deferred revenues relating to subscriptions entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, a shortfall in demand for our solutions in any period may not significantly reduce our revenues for that period but could negatively affect revenues in future periods. Accordingly, the effect of significant downturns in bookings may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods.
This variability and unpredictability could result in our failure to meet expectations with respect to operating results, or those of securities analysts or investors, for a particular period. If we fail to meet or exceed expectations for our operating results for these or any other reasons, the trading price of our common stock could fall and we could face costly lawsuits, including securities class action suits.
We do not maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which may subject us to significant exposure if one of our directors or officers is sued.
As of the date of this filing, we do not maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. In addition to protecting the individual director or officer against personal losses, it can also cover the legal fees and costs an organization may incur as a result of the lawsuit.
If a legal action is commenced against one of our directors or officers, including, but not limited to, an action alleging a violation of securities law, we may incur the legal fees and costs associated with defending against the action, which may harm our business. In addition, a potential action could be time-consuming, resource-intensive, expensive, and uncertain.
We currently accrue a liability for a discontinued Simple IRA plan.
Through December 31, 2012, we offered a Simple (Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees) IRA plan as a retirement plan for eligible employees and offered a voluntary match. We did not make all required voluntary matches prior to terminating the Simple IRA plan and we have accrued liability for the voluntary match portion of the Simple IRA plan, including interest, which was $310,352 as of December 31, 2024. There can be no assurance that the accrued liability amount will be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s potential liability.
We have used and may use our existing credit facility to finance our growth.
We have an accounts receivable credit facility with a financial institution, which enables us to sell accounts receivable to the financial institution with full recourse against us. The fee charged is prime plus 3.6% (effective rate of 11.1% at December 31, 2024) against the average daily outstanding balance of funds advanced. We also granted the financial institution a first priority interest in accounts receivable and a blanket lien. The fee charged is based, in part, on market events and conditions out of our control. The terms of the credit facility are subject to change.

| Table of Contents |
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we sold approximately $3,820,000 and $4,104,000, respectively, of our accounts receivable to the financial institution.
Because of the high relative cost, use of the credit facility, in the aggregate, may harm our business.
We rely on one customer for a large portion of our revenues.
We depend on one customer for a large portion of our revenue. Through the 12 months ending December 31, 2024, sales to this customer, including sales under subcontracts, accounted for 66% of total sales and 47% of accounts receivable. During 2023, sales to this customer, including sales under subcontracts, accounted for 64% of total sales and 16% of accounts receivable. The loss of this customer could have a significant impact on our revenues and harm our business and results of operations.
We rely on our channel partners to generate a substantial amount of our revenues, and if we fail to expand and manage our distribution channels, our revenues could decline and our growth prospects could suffer.
Our success significantly depends upon establishing and maintaining relationships with a variety of channel partners and we anticipate that we will continue to depend on these partners in order to grow our business.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, approximately 90% of our business comes from our channel sales and approximately 10% from direct sales to end customers, and the percentage of revenues derived from channel partners may increase in future periods. Our agreements with our channel partners are generally non-exclusive and do not prohibit them from working with our competitors or offering competing solutions, and many of our channel partners have more established relationships with our competitors. If our channel partners choose to place greater emphasis on products of their own or those offered by our competitors, do not effectively market and sell our software and services, or fail to meet the needs of our customers, then our ability to grow our business and sell our software and services may be adversely affected. In addition, the loss of one or more of our larger channel partners, who may cease marketing our software and services with limited or no notice, and our possible inability to replace them, could adversely affect our sales. Moreover, our ability to expand our distribution channels depends in part on our ability to educate our channel partners about our software and services, which can be complex. Our failure to recruit additional channel partners, or any reduction or delay in their sales of our software and services or conflicts between channel sales and our direct sales and marketing activities may harm our results of operations. Even if we are successful, these relationships may not result in greater customer usage of our software and services or increased revenues.
In addition, the financial health of our channel partners and our continuing relationships with them are important to our success. Some of these channel partners may be unable to withstand adverse changes in economic conditions, which could result in insolvency and/or the inability of such distributors to obtain credit to finance purchases of our software and services. In addition, weakness in the end-user market could negatively affect the cash flows of our channel partners who could, in turn, delay paying their obligations to us, which would increase our credit risk exposure. Our business could be harmed if the financial condition of some of these channel partners substantially weakened and we were unable to timely secure replacement channel partners.

We are highly leveraged, which increases our operating deficit and makes it difficult for us to grow.
At December 31, 2024, we had current liabilities of approximately $9.6 million and long-term liabilities of $2.1 million and stockholders’ deficiency of $10,193,488. At December 31, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $8.8 million and a current ratio of 0.09. At December 31, 2023, we had current liabilities of approximately $8.9 million and long-term liabilities of approximately $1.0 million and stockholders’ deficiency of $8,551,861. At December 31, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $8.5 million and a current ratio of 0.04.
Working capital shortages may impair our business operations and growth strategy, and accordingly, our business operations.
If we acquire businesses or business assets and do not successfully integrate the acquisitions, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
We may grow our business by acquiring or investing in other companies and businesses and assets that we feel have synergy and will complement our business plan. As such, we periodically evaluate potential business combinations and investments in other companies and assets. We may be unable to profitably manage the businesses and assets that we may acquire or invest in. We may fail to integrate these businesses and assets successfully without incurring substantial expenses, delays or other problems that could negatively impact our results of operations.
Our investments in cybersecurity and other business initiatives may not be successful.
We have invested in and continue to invest in cybersecurity capabilities to add new software and services to address the needs of our clients, including our newly introduced product, Nodeware. Our investments may not be successful or increase our revenues. If we are not successful in creating value from our investments by increasing sales, our financial condition and prospects could be harmed.
If we fail to adequately manage the size of our business, it could have a severe negative impact on our financial results or stock price.
Our management believes that to be successful we must appropriately manage the size of our business. This may mean reducing costs and overhead in certain economic periods and selectively growing in periods of economic expansion. In addition, we will be required to implement operational, financial and management information procedures and controls that are efficient and appropriate for the size and scope of our operations. The management skills and systems currently in place may not be adequate and we may not be able to manage any significant reductions or growth effectively.
We may have difficulties in managing our growth.
Our future growth depends, in part, on our ability to expand, train and manage our employee base and provide support to an expanded client base. We must also enhance and implement new operating and software systems to accommodate our growth and expansion of IT product and service offerings. If we cannot manage growth effectively, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business and financial condition. In addition, acquisitions, investments and expansion involve substantial infrastructure costs and working capital. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to integrate acquisitions, if any, and expansions efficiently. Similarly, we cannot provide assurance that any investments or expansion will enhance our profitability. If we do not achieve sufficient sales growth to offset the increased expenses associated with our expansion, our results will be adversely affected.
We depend on the continued services of our key personnel.
Our future success depends, in part, on the continuing efforts of our senior executive officers. The loss of any of these key employees may materially adversely affect our business. We do not maintain key-person insurance for any member of our senior management team. From time to time, there may be changes in our senior management team resulting from the termination or departure of executives. Our senior management and key employees are generally employed on an at-will basis, which means that they could terminate their employment with us at any time. The loss of the services of our senior management or other key employees for any reason could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our development and strategic objectives and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our future success depends on our ability to continue to retain and attract qualified employees.
We believe that our future success depends upon our ability to continue to train, retain, effectively manage and attract highly skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing personnel. This includes skills for our new initiatives in cybersecurity. Employee turnover is generally high in the IT services industry. If our efforts in these areas are not successful, our costs may increase, our sales efforts may be hindered, and the quality of our client service may suffer. Although we invest significant resources in recruiting and retaining employees, there is often significant competition for certain personnel in the IT services industry. From time to time, we experience difficulties in locating enough highly qualified candidates in desired geographic locations, or with required specific expertise.
We believe that our growth will depend, to a significant extent, on our success in recruiting and retaining a sufficient number of qualified sales personnel and their ability to obtain new customers, manage our existing customer base and expand the sales of our software and services. We plan to continue to expand our sales force and make a significant investment in our sales and marketing activities. Our recent hires and planned hires may not become as productive as quickly as we would like, and we may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the future in the competitive markets where we do business. Competition for highly skilled personnel is frequently intense and we may not be able to compete for these employees. If we are unable to recruit and retain a sufficient number of productive sales personnel, sales of our software and services and the growth of our business may be harmed. Additionally, if our efforts do not result in increased revenues, our operating results could be negatively impacted due to the upfront operating expenses associated with expanding our sales force.
If we are required to collect higher sales and use or other taxes on the software and services we sell, we may be subject to liability for past sales and our future sales may decrease.
Taxing jurisdictions, including state and local entities, have differing rules and regulations governing sales and use or other taxes, and these rules and regulations are subject to varying interpretations that may change over time. In particular, the applicability of sales taxes to our SaaS solutions in various jurisdictions is unclear. It is possible that we could face sales tax audits and that our liability for these taxes could exceed our estimates as tax authorities could still assert that we are obligated to collect additional amounts as taxes from our customers and remit those taxes to those authorities. We could also be subject to audits with respect to state and international jurisdictions for which we may not accrued tax liabilities. A successful assertion that we should be collecting additional sales or other taxes on our services in jurisdictions where we have not historically done so and do not accrue for sales taxes could result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, discourage customers from purchasing our software and services or otherwise harm our business and operating results.
Climate change may have a long-term negative impact on our business.
The long-term effects of climate change on the global economy and the technology industry in particular are unclear, however there are inherent climate-related risks everywhere business is conducted. Climate-related events, including the increasing frequency of extreme weather events such as drought, water scarcity, heat waves, cold waves, flooding and wildfires, and their impact on regional short-term systemic failures in the U.S. and elsewhere, have the potential to disrupt our business, our third-party vendors, and/or the business of our customers and their end users, and may cause us to experience higher attrition, losses and additional costs to maintain and resume operations. While we employ the use of cloud technologies, we also store some data in physical data centers which depend on predictable and reliable energy and networking capabilities, which could be affected by a variety of factors, including climate change. In addition, if new laws are enacted, or current laws are modified in countries in which we or our suppliers operate, we could face increased costs to comply with these laws. These costs may be incurred across various levels of our supply chain to comply with new environmental regulations, taxes and penalties, which could cause us to incur increased costs to satisfy service obligations to customers. In addition, we may be subject to increased regulations, reporting requirements and standards, or expectations regarding the environmental impacts of our business, which may result in increased compliance costs, and any untimely or inaccurate disclosure could adversely affect our reputation, business or financial performance.

Risks Related to our Industry
As a provider of cybersecurity software and services, we are subject to a heightened threat of cyberattacks intended to disrupt our internal operations or IT services provided to customers, and any such disruption could reduce our revenue, increase our expenses, damage our reputation.
We sell cybersecurity software and services, including third-party software as well as our internally developed software, Nodeware. As a result, we have been and will be a target of cyber-attacks designed to impede the performance of our products, penetrate our network security or the security of our cloud platform or our internal systems, or that of our customers, misappropriate proprietary information and/or cause interruptions to our services. Because of the significant military action against Ukraine launched by Russia, the risk of such cyber-attacks is increased.
For example, because Nodeware is a network vulnerability management solution, a successful cyber-attack on us may be perceived as a victory for the cyber attacker, thereby increasing the likelihood that we may be a target of more cyber-attacks, even absent financial motives. Further, if our systems are breached as a result of third-party action, employee error or misconduct, attackers could learn critical information about how our primary product operates to help protect our customers’ IT infrastructures from cyber risk, thereby making our customers more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. In addition, if actual or perceived breaches of our network security occur, they could adversely affect the market perception of our Nodeware solution, negatively affecting our reputation, and may expose us to the loss of our proprietary information or information belonging to our customers, investigations or litigation and possible liability, including injunctive relief and monetary damages. Such security breaches could also divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel. In addition, such security breaches could impair our ability to operate our business and provide products to our customers. If this happens, our reputation could be harmed, our revenue could decline, and our business could suffer.
Our information technology systems may be subject to intentional disruption or other security incidents that could result in liability and adversely impact our reputation and future sales.
We and our service providers face threats from a variety of sources, including attacks on our networks and systems from numerous sources, including traditional “hackers,” sophisticated nation-state and nation-state supported actors, other sources of malicious code (such as viruses and worms), and phishing attempts. We and our service providers could be a target of cyber-attacks or other malfeasance designed to impede the performance of our software and services, penetrate our network security or the security of our cloud platform or our internal systems, misappropriate proprietary information and/or cause interruptions to our services. Our software, platforms, and system, and those of our service providers, may also suffer security incidents as a result of non-technical issues, including intentional or inadvertent acts or omissions by our employees or service providers. With the increase in personnel continuing to work remotely since the COVID-19 pandemic, we and our service providers are at increased risk for security breaches. Because of the significant military action against Ukraine launched by Russia, the risk of such cyber-attacks, malfeasance, security incidents, and security breaches is increased. The conditions caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine could also result in disruption or other security incidents for our service providers.
We are taking steps to monitor and enhance the security of our software and services, cloud platform, and other relevant systems, IT infrastructure, networks, and data; however, the unprecedented scale of remote work may require additional personnel and resources, which nevertheless cannot be guaranteed to fully safeguard our software and services, our cloud platform, or any systems, IT infrastructure networks, or data upon which we rely. Further, because our operations involve providing cybersecurity software and services to our customers, we may be targeted for cyber-attacks and other security incidents. A breach in our data security or an attack against our service availability, or that of our third-party service providers, could impact our networks or networks secured by our software and services, creating system disruptions or slowdowns and exploiting security vulnerabilities of our software and services, and the information stored on our networks or those of our third-party service providers could be accessed, publicly disclosed, altered, lost, or stolen, which could subject us to liability and cause us financial harm. If an actual or perceived disruption in the availability of our software and services or the breach of our security measures or those of our service providers occurs, it could adversely affect the market perception of our software and services, result in a loss of competitive advantage, have a negative impact on our reputation, or result in the loss of customers, channel partners and sales, and it may expose us to the loss or alteration of information, litigation, regulatory actions and investigations and possible liability. Any such actual or perceived security breach or disruption could also divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel. We also may incur significant costs and operational consequences of investigating, remediating, eliminating and putting in place additional tools and devices designed to prevent actual or perceived security incidents, as well as the costs to comply with any notification obligations resulting from any security incidents. In addition, any such actual or perceived security breach could impair our ability to operate our business and provide software and services to our customers. If this happens, our reputation could be harmed, our revenues could decline and our business could suffer.

Although we maintain insurance coverage that may be applicable to certain liabilities in the event of a security breach or other security incident, we cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate for liabilities that actually are incurred, that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have a material and adverse effect on our business, including our financial condition, operating results and reputation.
If our software and services fail to detect vulnerabilities or incorrectly detect vulnerabilities, our brand and reputation could be harmed, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
If our software and services fail to detect vulnerabilities in our customers’ IT infrastructures, or if our software and services fail to identify and respond to new and increasingly complex methods of attacks, our business and reputation may suffer. There is no guarantee that our software and services will detect all vulnerabilities. Additionally, our cybersecurity software and services may falsely detect vulnerabilities or threats that do not actually exist. For example, some of our software and services rely on information on attack sources aggregated from third-party data providers who monitor global malicious activity originating from a variety of sources, including anonymous proxies, specific IP addresses, botnets and phishing sites. If the information from these data providers is inaccurate, the potential for false indications of security vulnerabilities increases. These false positives, while typical in the industry, may impair the perceived reliability or usability of our software and services and may therefore adversely impact market acceptance of our software and services and could result in negative publicity, loss of customers and sales, increased costs to remedy any incorrect information or problem, or claims by aggrieved parties. Similar issues may be generated by the misuse of our tools to identify and exploit vulnerabilities.
Further, our software and services sometimes are tested against other security products, and may fail to perform as effectively, or to be perceived as performing as effectively, as competitive products for any number of reasons, including misconfiguration. To the extent current or potential customers, channel partners, or others believe there has been an occurrence of an actual or perceived failure of our software and services to detect a vulnerability or otherwise to function as effectively as competitive products in any particular test or indicates our software and services do not provide significant value, our business, competitive position, and reputation could be harmed.
In addition, our software and services do not currently extend to cover mobile devices or personal devices that employees may bring into an organization. As such, our software and services would not identify or address vulnerabilities in mobile devices, such as mobile phones or tablets, or personal devices, and our customers’ IT infrastructures may be compromised by attacks that infiltrate their networks through such devices.
An actual or perceived security breach or theft of the sensitive data of one of our customers, regardless of whether the breach is attributable to the failure of our software and services, could adversely affect the market’s perception of our cybersecurity software and services.
If our solutions fail to help our customers achieve and maintain compliance with regulations and industry standards, our revenues and operating results could be harmed.
We generate a portion of our revenues from software and services that help organizations achieve and maintain compliance with regulations and industry standards. For example, some of our customers subscribe to our software and services to help them comply with the security standards developed and maintained by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, or the PCI Council, which apply to companies that store cardholder data. Industry organizations like the PCI Council may significantly change their security standards with little or no notice, including changes that could make their standards more or less onerous for businesses. Governments may also adopt new laws or regulations, or make changes to existing laws or regulations, that could impact the demand for or value of our solutions.
If we are unable to adapt our software and services to changing regulatory standards in a timely manner, or if our solutions fail to assist with or expedite our customers’ compliance initiatives, our customers may lose confidence in our solutions and could switch to products offered by our competitors. In addition, if regulations and standards related to data security, vulnerability management and other IT, security and compliance requirements are relaxed or the penalties for non-compliance are changed in a manner that makes them less onerous, our customers may view government and industry regulatory compliance as less critical to their businesses, and our customers may be less willing to purchase our solutions. In any of these cases, our revenues and operating results could be harmed.

Our cybersecurity software and services are delivered from a third-party vendor, and any disruption of service at their facilities would interrupt or delay our ability to deliver our software and services to our customers which could reduce our revenues and harm our operating results.
Our existing data center facilities providers have no obligation to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to renew our agreements with the facilities providers on commercially reasonable terms or if in the future we add additional data center facility providers, we may experience costs or downtime in connection with the loss of an existing facility or the transfer to, or addition of, new data center facilities.
Any disruptions or other performance problems with our software and services could harm our reputation and business and may damage our customers’ businesses. Interruptions in our service delivery might reduce our revenues, cause us to issue credits to customers, subject us to potential liability and cause customers to terminate their subscriptions or not renew their subscriptions.
If the market for cloud solutions for IT, security and compliance does not evolve as we anticipate, our revenues may not grow and our operating results would be harmed.
Our success depends to a significant extent on the willingness of organizations to increase their use of cloud solutions for their IT, security, and compliance. To date, some organizations have been reluctant to use cloud solutions because they have concerns regarding the risks associated with the reliability or security of the technology delivery model associated with these solutions. If other cloud service providers experience security incidents, loss of customer data, disruptions in service delivery or other problems, the market for cloud solutions as a whole, including our solutions, may be negatively impacted. Moreover, many organizations have invested substantial personnel and financial resources to integrate on-premise software into their businesses, and as a result may be reluctant or unwilling to migrate to a cloud solution, such as Nodeware. Organizations that use on-premise security products, such as network firewalls, security information and event management products or data loss prevention solutions, may also believe that these products sufficiently protect their IT infrastructure and deliver adequate security. Therefore, they may continue spending their IT security budgets on these products and may not adopt our software and services in addition to or as a replacement for such products.
If customers do not recognize the benefits of our cloud software and our services over traditional on-premise enterprise software products, and as a result we are unable to increase sales of subscriptions to our software and services, then our revenues may not grow or may decline, and our operating results would be harmed.
We use third-party software and data that may be difficult to replace or cause errors or failures of our software and services that could lead to lost customers or harm to our reputation and our operating results.
We license third-party software as well as security and compliance data from various third parties to deliver our software and services. In the future, this software or data may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use any of this software or data could result in delays in the provisioning of our software and services until equivalent technology or data is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained and integrated, which could harm our business. In addition, any errors or defects in or failures of this third-party software or data could result in errors or defects in our software and services or cause our software and services to fail, which could harm our business and be costly to correct. Many of these providers attempt to impose limitations on their liability for such errors, defects or failures, and if enforceable, we may have additional liability to our customers or third-party providers that could harm our reputation and increase our operating costs.
We will need to maintain our relationships with third-party software and data providers, and to obtain software and data from such providers that do not contain any errors or defects. Any failure to do so could adversely impact our ability to deliver effective solutions to our customers and could harm our operating results.

Our software contains third-party open source software components, and our failure to comply with the terms of the underlying open source software licenses could restrict our ability to sell our software and services.
Our software contains software licensed to us by third-parties under so-called “open source” licenses, including the GNU General Public License, the GNU Lesser General Public License, the BSD License, the Apache License and others. From time to time, there have been claims against companies that distribute or use open source software in their products and services, asserting that such open source software infringes the claimants’ intellectual property rights. We could be subject to suits by parties claiming that what we believe to be licensed open source software infringes their intellectual property rights. Use and distribution of open source software may entail greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. In addition, certain open source licenses require that source code for software programs that are subject to the license be made available to the public and that any modifications or derivative works to such open source software continue to be licensed under the same terms. If we combine our proprietary software with open source software in certain ways, we could, in some circumstances, be required to release the source code of our proprietary software to the public. Disclosing the source code of our proprietary software could make it easier for cyber attackers and other third parties to discover vulnerabilities in or to defeat the protections of our solutions, which could result in our solutions failing to provide our customers with the security they expect from our services. This could harm our business and reputation. Disclosing our proprietary source code also could allow our competitors to create similar products with lower development effort and time and ultimately could result in a loss of sales for us. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our software and services could be used to collect and store personal information of our customers’ employees or customers, and therefore privacy and other data handling concerns could result in additional cost and liability to us or inhibit sales of our software and services.
We may collect, store, process and use our customers’ employees or customers’ personally identifiable information and other data in our transactions with them, and we may rely on third parties that are not directly under our control to do so as well. While we take reasonable measures intended to protect the security, integrity and confidentiality of the personal information and other sensitive information we collect, store or transmit, we cannot guarantee that inadvertent or unauthorized use or disclosure will not occur, or that third parties will not gain unauthorized access to this information. If we or our third-party service providers were to experience a breach, disruption or failure of systems compromising our customers’ data, or if one of our third-party service providers or partners were to access our customers’ personal data without our authorization, our brand and reputation could be adversely affected, use of our software and services could decrease and we could be exposed to a risk of loss, litigation and regulatory proceedings.
Despite our compliance efforts, we may fail to achieve compliance with applicable privacy or data protection laws and regulations as they evolve, or adhere to contractual obligations regarding the collection, processing, storage and transfer of data (including data from our customers, prospective customers, partners and employees), either due to internal or external factors such as resource limitations or a lack of vendor cooperation. Any actual or perceived failure to comply with these laws or obligations could result in enforcement action against us, including fines, claims for damages by customers and other affected individuals, damage to our reputation and loss of goodwill (both in relation to any existing customers and prospective customers), any of which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Further, privacy concerns may inhibit market adoption of our software and services, particularly in certain industries and foreign countries.
We depend on prime contracts or subcontracts with the federal, state, and local governments for a substantial portion of our sales, and our business would be seriously harmed if the government ceased doing business with us or our prime contractors or significantly decreased the amount of business it does with us or our prime contractors.
We derived approximately 66% of our sales in 2024 and 64% of our sales in 2023 from contracts as either a prime contractor or a subcontractor from government contracts. We expect that we will continue to derive a substantial portion of our sales for the foreseeable future from work performed under government contracts, as we have in the past, and from marketing efforts focused on commercial enterprises. If we or our prime contractors were suspended or prohibited from contracting with federal, state or local governments, or if our reputation or relationship with the federal, state or local governments and commercial enterprises were impaired, or if any of the foregoing otherwise ceased doing business with us or our prime contractors or significantly decreased the amount of business it does with us or our prime contractors, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.
We operate in a highly competitive environment and, as a result, we may not be able to compete effectively or maintain or increase our sales.
We operate in a highly competitive environment with numerous competitors, some of which have greater resources or better brand recognition than we do. This competitive environment subjects us to various risks, including the ability to provide our software and services at competitive prices that allow us to maintain our profitability. Because of this competitive environment, we may have limited ability to increase prices in response to increased costs without losing competitive position which may adversely affect our margins and financial performance. In addition, price reductions by our competitors may result in the reduction of our prices and a corresponding reduction in our profitability. As a result, we may face periods of intense competition in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and results of operations.

Our sales cycle can be long and unpredictable, and our sales efforts require considerable time and expense. As a result, revenues may vary from period to period, which may cause our operating results to fluctuate and could harm our business.
The timing of sales of our software and services can be difficult to forecast because of the length and unpredictability of our sales cycle, particularly with large transactions. We sell our cybersecurity software and services primarily to IT departments that are managing a growing set of user and compliance demands, which has increased the complexity of customer requirements to be met and confirmed during the sales cycle and prolonged our sales cycle. Further, the length of time that potential customers devote to their testing and evaluation, contract negotiation and budgeting processes varies significantly, which has also made our sales cycle long and unpredictable. The length of the sales cycle for our software and services typically ranges from six to twelve months but can be more than eighteen months. In addition, we might devote substantial time and effort to a particular unsuccessful sales effort, and as a result we could lose other sales opportunities or incur expenses that are not offset by an increase in revenues, which could harm our business.
Our business could be adversely affected by changes in budgetary priorities of the federal, state and local governments.
Because we derive a significant portion of our sales from contracts with federal, state and local governments, we believe that the success and development of our business will continue to depend on our successful participation in their contract programs. Changes in federal, state and local government budgetary priorities could directly affect our financial performance. A significant decline in government expenditures, a shift of expenditures away from programs which call for the types of services that we provide or a change in government contracting policies, could cause U.S. Governmental agencies as well as state and local governments to reduce their expenditures under contracts, to exercise their right to terminate contracts at any time without penalty, not to exercise options to renew contracts or to delay or not originate new contracts. Any of those actions could seriously harm our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results. Moreover, although our contracts with governmental entities may contemplate that our services will be performed over a period of several years, government entities usually must approve funds for a given program each government fiscal year and may significantly reduce or eliminate funding for a program. Significant reductions in these appropriations could have a material adverse effect on our business. Additional factors that could have a serious adverse effect on our government contracting business include, but may not be limited to:
| · | changes in government programs or requirements; |
|
|
|
| · | budgetary priorities limiting or delaying government spending generally, or by specific departments or agencies and changes in fiscal policies or available funding, including potential governmental shutdowns; |
|
|
|
| · | reductions in the government's use of technology solutions firms; |
|
|
|
| · | a decrease in the number of contracts reserved for small businesses, or small business set asides, which could result in our inability to compete directly for these prime contracts; and |
|
|
|
| · | curtailment of the government uses of IT or related professional services. |
We rely on software-as-a-service vendors to operate certain functions of our business and any failure of such vendors to provide services to us could adversely impact our business and operations.
We rely on third-party software-as-a-service vendors to operate certain critical functions of our business, including financial management and human resource management. If these services become unavailable due to extended outages or interruptions or because they are no longer available on commercially reasonable terms or prices, our expenses could increase, our ability to manage our finances could be interrupted and our processes for managing sales of our solutions and supporting our customers could be impaired until equivalent services, if available, are identified, obtained and integrated, all of which could harm our business.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
Upon exercise of our outstanding options or warrants and conversion of our convertible notes we will be obligated to issue a substantial number of additional shares of common stock which will dilute our present stockholders.
We are obligated to issue additional shares of our common stock in connection with our outstanding options, warrants, and convertible notes. As of December 31, 2024, there were options, warrants, convertible notes outstanding, convertible into 110,209, 161,472 and 147,611 shares of common stock, respectively, at prices ranging from $1.00 to $18.75 per share. The exercise, conversion or exchange of warrants or convertible securities, including for other securities, will cause us to issue additional shares of our common stock and will dilute the percentage ownership of our stockholders. In addition, we have in the past, and may in the future, exchange outstanding securities for other securities on terms that are dilutive to the securities held by other stockholders not participating in such exchange.

Our stock price is volatile and could be further affected by events not within our control.
The trading price of our common stock has been volatile and will continue to be subject to volatility in the trading markets and other factors.
The closing market price for our common stock varied between a low of $0.0002 and a high of $0.40 in 2024. This volatility may affect the price at which a stockholder could sell its shares of common stock, and the sale of substantial amounts of our common stock could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Our stock price is likely to continue to be volatile and subject to significant price and volume fluctuations in response to market and other factors, including variations in our quarterly operating results and announcement by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments.
Our common stock is currently quoted on the expert market Because there is a limited public market for our common stock, a stockholder may not be able to buy or sell shares when he or she wants. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for our common stock will ever develop.
There is limited trading in our common stock, and we cannot assure you that an active public market for our common stock will ever develop. The lack of an active public trading market means that a stockholder may not be able to sell shares of common stock when wanted, thereby increasing market risk. Until our common stock is listed on an exchange, we expect that the shares will continue to be quoted on the expert market However, an investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations regarding the common stock’s market value. In addition, if we failed to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect the shares’ liquidity. Moreover, our ability to obtain future financing may be adversely affected by the consequences of our common stock trading on the expert market.
Our common stock may be considered a “penny stock” and may be difficult to buy or sell.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market or exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock is currently below $5.00 per share and therefore may be designated as a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. This designation requires any broker or dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to accept our share certificates into a customer account and may affect the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares.
Concentration of ownership among our existing executive officers, directors and holders of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.
As of December 31, 2024, our executive officers and directors owned, in the aggregate, approximately 16.8% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, there are a few holders of 5% or more of our outstanding common who are not our officers and directors. As a result, such persons, acting together, have significant ability to control our management and affairs and substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors and approval of any significant transaction. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our business, even if such a transaction would benefit other stockholders.
Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Sales of large blocks of our common stock over a short time last fall could have a significant adverse effect on our common stock price. If our existing stockholders and investors seek to sell a substantial number of shares of our common stock, such selling efforts may cause significant declines in the market price of our common stock. The existence of an overhang, which is the potential dilution in the value of our common stock due to outstanding convertible notes, warrants and stock options, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities more difficult in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. If our existing stockholders and investors seek to sell a substantial number of shares of our common stock, such selling efforts may cause significant declines in the market price of our common stock.
Our common stock may be affected by limited trading volume and price fluctuations, which could adversely impact the value of our common stock.
Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to periodically enter the market in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our common stock will be stable or appreciate over time.

Because we do not intend to pay cash dividends on our shares of common stock, any returns will be limited to the value of our shares.
We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return to stockholders will therefore be limited to the increase, if any, of our share price.
If securities analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports or publish misleading, inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business or if they publish negative evaluations of our stock, the price and trading volume of our stock could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will rely, in part, on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have, and may never obtain, research coverage by industry or financial analysts. If no, or few, analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price of our stock would likely decrease. Even if we do obtain analyst coverage, if one or more of the analysts covering our business downgrade their evaluations of our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our stock could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover our stock, we could lose visibility in the market for our stock, which in turn could cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity
We maintain a comprehensive process following standard compliance frameworks (i.e., NIST) for identifying, assessing, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats as part of our broader risk management system and processes. We closely follow the security industry and global threat trends, and our security professionals oversee cybersecurity risk management and mitigation, incident prevention, detection, and remediation. Our team consists of professionals with deep cybersecurity expertise across multiple industries, including our Director of Infrastructure Management (our ISO) and our Vice President, Cybersecurity Services. Our executive leadership team, along with input from the above professionals, are responsible for our overall enterprise risk management process and regularly consider cybersecurity risks in the context of other material risks to the Company. Should an incident arise or be identified, they reviewed by a cross-functional team to determine whether further escalation is appropriate, with any material incident being escalated to the appropriate members of the technical management teams.
As part of our cybersecurity risk management system, we track and log privacy and security incidents across IGI, our vendors, and other

Item 2. Properties
Our principal offices are located at 175 Sully’s Trail, Suite 202, Pittsford, New York 14534. Beginning February 1, 2024, we reduced the square footage leased from 7,181, to 3,400. This reduced footprint is more suitable to our hybrid work from home practices, allowing us to reduce the amount of unused space, while still providing sufficient capacity to conduct daily operations without interruption. The lease continues to expire in May 2029. We do not own or operate, and have no plans to establish, any manufacturing facilities.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are not presently involved in any material legal proceedings. In August 2023, a former employee of the Company's Cyber Labs division, Stuart F. Cohen, filed a complaint in the Circuit Court, Multnomah County, State of Oregon, seeking an estimated amount of $95,339.30. He was terminated in July 2023 and is seeking payment for unused vacation pay in connection with the termination of his employment, related statutory penalties and interest, and relief for an alleged breach of a promise to issue him 20,000 shares of stock at $0.61 per share. A magistrate judge recommended that the action be dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction in November 2023 and is awaiting final action by the District Court judge. The Company has denied the allegations and seeks to vigorously defend itself in the action. On July 11, 2024, United States District Judge, Adrienne Nelson, adopted Magistrate Judge Russo’s Findings and Recommendation to dismiss Plaintiff, Stuart F. Cohen’s complaint. The District Court possessed original jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1332. ER 118-23. The District Court entered a final judgment on July 11, 2024, dismissing this case without prejudice due to a lack of personal jurisdiction. ER 3. Plaintiff filed a timely notice of appeal on July 29, 2024. ER 144-46. This Court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Both parties filed appellate briefs, and the oral arguments are tentatively scheduled sometime around May 2025. On June 5, 2025, the United States Court Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed and remanded the District Court decision. On July 16, 2025, the Company filed an answer, affirmative defenses and jury demand to the complaint for damages and injunctive relief and counter claims and jury demand in the United States District Court, District of Oregon, Portland division.

Business
Headquartered in Pittsford, New York, Infinite Group is a developer of cybersecurity software and related cybersecurity consulting, advisory and managed information security services. We principally sell our software and services through indirect channels such as MSPs, MSSPs, agents and distributors and government contractors, whom we refer to collectively as our channel partners. We also sell directly to end customers.

We believe our ability to succeed depends on how successful we are in differentiating ourselves in the cybersecurity market at a time when competition and consolidation in these markets are on the rise. Our strategy to differentiate our cybersecurity software and services from our competitors is to combine customized software and professional services, and grow our business by designing, developing, and marketing cybersecurity SaaS solutions that can be deployed in myriad environments. Software and services are initially developed in our wholly-owned subsidiary, IGI CyberLabs, to fill technology gaps we identify, and then we bring these software and services to market through our existing channel partner and customer relationships. Our software and services are designed to simplify and manage the security needs of our customers and channel partners in a variety of environments. We focus on the small and medium-sized enterprises market. We support our channel partners by providing recurring-revenue business models for both services and through our cybersecurity SaaS solutions. Products may be sold as standalone solutions or integrated into existing environments to further automate the management of cybersecurity and related IT functions.
Business Strategy
We have a threefold business strategy composed of:
| · | providing differentiated cybersecurity software and services to small to mid-sized enterprises who lack the internal resources to focus on cybersecurity related matters by combining customized software and professional services; |
|
|
|
| · | designing, developing, and marketing cybersecurity SaaS solutions, including Nodeware; and |
|
|
|
| · | identifying other cybersecurity companies to acquire as part of a strategic roll-up strategy. |
We believe our ability to succeed depends on how successful we are in differentiating ourselves in the market at a time when competition and consolidation in these markets is on the rise.
Our software and services are designed to simplify the security needs of our customers and channel partners, with a focus on the small to mid-sized enterprises, and we believe our ability to integrate our product and service offerings differentiates them from our competitors. In addition, we support our channel partners by providing recurring -revenue business models for both services and our cybersecurity SaaS solutions.
Cybersecurity is a constantly evolving field, so we devote significant efforts in developing proprietary software and services to meet our customer and channel partners’ evolving needs. These efforts have resulted in the development of our patented and patent-pending Nodeware solution. We expect to continue to make significant investments in developing other intellectual property to serve as the core to other proprietary software and services.
Historically, a significant portion of our revenues has been derived through our managed support services, however, we believe our cybersecurity SaaS solutions, including Nodeware, present an opportunity for significant growth. We believe that Nodeware’s ability to be deployed across a wide variety of networks and the ability to integrate it into existing and new cybersecurity solutions, will allow us to significantly grow this segment of our business. Similarly, we believe Nodeware’s SaaS recurring revenue business model and its flexibility as a standalone or integrated solution makes it an attractive part of our channel partners’ portfolio of products. Accordingly, in 2023 and 2024 we made significant investments in CyberLabs and sales and marketing to grow our team of cybersecurity sales and technical consultants. As a result, we believe we are seeing the pipeline growth expected from focused efforts, which we anticipate will convert to revenue growth in 2025.
We believe the market for cybersecurity services for small and medium-sized enterprises is fragmented and does not currently meet the needs of this customer base. The market is fragmented and is beginning to consolidate, which is why we are seeking to strategically acquire other cybersecurity technology and services companies.
Recent Developments
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we had sales of approximately $6.6 million, an operating loss of approximately $0.9 million, due primarily to increased investment in sales and marketing for Nodeware and related services, and a net loss of approximately $1.6 million, primarily due to the previously stated operating loss along with significant interest expense, offset by one-time gain from the Employee Retention Credit. We had full year sales of approximately $7.0 million in 2023, generating operating loss of approximately $1.9 million and net loss of approximately $1.9 million.

On February 3, 2023, the Company, as borrower, entered into a financing arrangement with Mast Hill Fund, L.P. In exchange for a promissory note, Mast Hill agreed to lend the Company $118,000, which bears interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, less $11,800 original issue discount. Under the terms of the Loan, amortization payments are due beginning June 3, 2023, and each month thereafter with the final payment due on February 3, 2024. Additionally, in the event of a default under the Loan or if the Company elects to pre-pay the Loan, the Lender has the right to convert any portion or all of the outstanding and unpaid principal and interest into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including issuances of Company common stock below the conversion price. The Company is not required to issue additional shares to Lender in the event an adjustment to the conversion price occurs. Except for the option to convert the note in the event of a pre-payment, there is no pre-payment penalty associated with the promissory note. The Loan is subject to customary events of default, including cross-defaults on the Loan agreements and on other indebtedness of the Company, violations of securities laws (including Regulation FD), and failure to issue shares upon a conversion of the note. Amounts due under the Loan are subject to a 15% penalty in the event of a default. As additional consideration for the financing, the Company issued Lender a 5-year warrant to purchase 59,000 shares of Company common stock at a fixed price of $2.00 per share, subject to price adjustments for certain actions, including dilutive issuances, representing 100% warrant coverage on the principal amount of the Loan. The Company has granted the Lender customary “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to the shares issuable upon conversion of the promissory note and exercise of the warrant. No material relationship exists between the Company or its affiliates and Lender, other than in respect of the Loan and similar loans between the Company and Lender entered into on November 3, 2021, February 11, 2022, May 31, 2022, and November 23, 2022, respectively. J.H. Darbie & Co., Inc., a registered broker-dealer, acted as a finder in connection with the Loan, and was paid a cash fee of $3,100 (2.92% of the gross proceeds of the Loan) and issued a 5-year warrant to purchase 3,098 shares of Company common stock at a fixed price of $2.40 per share (120% of the exercise price of the warrant issued in connection with the Loan), subject to price adjustments for certain actions, including dilutive issuances, representing 7% warrant coverage on the gross proceeds of the Loan. The Company has granted the Finder customary “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant. The Company and the Lender are parties to promissory notes dated November 3, 2021, February 11, 2022, May 27, 2022, and November 23, 2022. On February 3, 2023, the Company and the Lender entered into an amendment with respect to the February 11, 2022 Note (the “Note”) waiving any Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under Section 4.17 of the Note that occurred prior to February 3, 2023. In addition, the amendment extended the maturity date of the Note to May 30, 2023. The Company shall pay $200,000 of the existing balance of the Note on or before March 31, 2023, to reduce the balance of the note by $200,000. If the company fails to make the payment, then the (i) the principal of the Note shall be increased by $30,000 (the “Increased Principal Portion”) as of April 1, 2023, and (ii) the Company shall repay the Increased Principal Portion on or before April 16,2023. Except as set forth above, the terms of the Notes remain the same.
On March 17, 2023, the Company, as borrower, entered into an Amended and Restated Line of Credit Note and Agreement (the “New Note”) effective as of October 1, 2022, which amended and restated that certain Line of Credit Note and Agreement dated March 14, 2016 (the “Original Note”) by and between the Company and James V. Leonardo (the “Holder,” together with the Company the “Parties”). The New Note has a principal amount of $250,000 (the ‘Principal Amount”) and accrues interest on the unpaid Principal Amount at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Also on March 17, 2023, James Villa, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, entered into a personal guarantee with the Holder to personally guarantee the obligations of the Company under the New Note. Under the terms of the New Note, the Company has agreed to make a one-time payment of $16,667 for interest accrued on the Original Note for the four-month period covering June 2022 through September 2022. The Company has also agreed to make quarterly interest payments of $6,250, commencing on December 31, 2022, and continuing through and including September 30, 2023. For consideration received by the Parties for entry into the New Note, the Parties, along with James Villa and RES Exhibit Services, LLC (“RES”), an entity owned by the Holder, entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Agreement”) on March 17, 2023. Under the terms of the Agreement, all prior amounts owed to the Company by RES were set off against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder under the Original Note.
On March 29, 2023, the Company, as seller, received a $1,330,464 as a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the sale of the Company’s rights, title and interest per a Risk Participation of ERC Claim Agreement, dated March 27, 2023 (“Agreement”) by and between the Company and 1861 Acquisition LLC (the “Buyer,” together with the Company the “Parties”). The Agreement transferred all of the Company’s rights to receive any and all payments, proceeds or distributions of any kind (without set-off, deduction or withholding of any kind), including interest, from the United States Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) in respect of the employee retention credits duly and timely claimed by Seller on account of qualified wages paid by Seller and identified as a “Claim for Refund” under Form 941-X Adjusted Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund for the third (3rd) and fourth (4th) quarters of 2020, and the first (1st), second (2nd) and third (3rd) quarters of 2021 (the “Tax Refund Claim”) in the aggregate amount of $1,662,698 (“Transferred Interests”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, (i) the relationship between Company and Buyer under the Agreement with respect to the Transferred Interests is that of seller and purchaser, with the Company having irrevocably transferred to Buyer the right to receive from the Company 100% of the monies or property received by the Company with respect to the Tax Refund Claim in exchange for the Purchase Price, and (ii) the Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or transfer or agreement to assign or transfer all or any part of the Company’s legal title in and to the Tax Refund Claim. During 2023, the Company received the ERC Claim in the amount of $1,733,397 including interest of $70,699. Per the Agreement, the Company transferred this amount to the Buyer.
On August 25, 2023, the Company, as borrower, entered into a business loan arrangement with WebBank. In exchange for the loan, WebBank agreed to lend the Company $150,000, with a payment plan of $2,671 per week for 78 weeks effective August 28, 2023. The effective interest rate of the Loan is 46.8%. If the loan is prepaid, the unpaid portion of the finance charge of $58,350 will be due to WebBank. In September 2024, WebBank forgave the remaining payments on the business loan for $60,295. This forgiveness of debt resulted in a gain of approximately $12,800.
On September 14, 2023, the Company, as borrower, entered into a Financing and Security Agreement ("Agreement") with Celtic Bank Corporation (the “Celtic”).

Our managed support service sales decreased by 2% from $4,419,775 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 to $4,315,393 during the corresponding period of 2024. Managed support service sales accounted for approximately 66% of our sales in 2024 and approximately 64% for the same period in 2023. The decrease in our managed support service sales during 2024 was due to the termination of a minor scope project in services provided to our largest customer. We expect our Managed Information Security Services sales to grow slightly in 2025.

| Table of Contents |
Nodeware sales increased from $705,561 in 2023 to $869,378 in 2024, an increase of over 23%. This increase was due to the internal reorganization of our sales team in 2023 and 2024, as well as more focused marketing expenditures. We expect to see continued significant growth of Nodeware sales throughout 2025.
Sales of Webroot decreased from $559,215 in 2023 to $457,080 in 2024. This is a legacy third party offering which we are no longer aggressively marketing.
Our cybersecurity services sales, primarily to SMEs, decreased by 27% to $921,458 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 from $1,269,469 during the corresponding period of 2023. The decrease in cybersecurity software and services sales during 2024 was attributable to delayed timing on completion of several projects late in the year, as well as a reduction of sales orders. We expect our cybersecurity software and services business to grow in 2025 due to our increased spend in channel and marketing programs.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales principally represents the compensation expense for our employees (primarily the cost of our IT services group). To a lesser degree, but still significant, we also incurred cost of sales for third party software licenses for our commercial SME partners. Cost of sales decreased by 4% to $3,772,371during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 from $3,916,806 during the corresponding period of 2023. The decrease in cost of sales during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 from 2023 was due to several cost reductions, but also partially offset by several increases. The cost of supplying Webroot software decreased from $317,653 in 2023 to $258,621 in 2024, due to a reduction in sales. The cost of labor to support cybersecurity projects decreased from $653,860 in 2023 to $519,563 in 2024 due to staff reductions. The cost of labor to support managed services decreased slightly from $2,034,031 in 2023 to $2,032,484 in 2024. Software expenses related to cost of sales decreased $274,290 in 2023 to 224,661 in 2024, primarily driven by the optimization of the way our transactional data was processed by an outside third party vendor, therefore, lowering our per transaction and total cost.
As a result of reduced revenue, gross profit decreased year over year, by 8% to $2,790,938 for 2024.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include corporate overhead such as compensation and benefits for executive, administrative and finance personnel, rent, insurance, professional fees, travel, and office expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $341,000 in 2024. The primary components of that change were a reduction in corporate marketing and consulting fees of approximately $159,000, a decrease in rent of approximately $59,000, with multiple other smaller changes netting the difference.
Selling Expenses
The decrease of $914,000 in selling expenses to approximately $1,818,000 in 2024 is principally due to a decrease in marketing expenses of $576,000, decreases in salaries and benefits of $225,000, decreases of commissions on cybersecurity projects and software of $100,000, with multiple other smaller changes netting the difference.
Operating Loss
Operating loss improved approximately $1,008,000 from 2023 to 2024. The decrease in our general and administrative expenses of $341,000, and the decrease in selling expenses of $914,000, both described in detail above, were the primary reasons for the improvement in operating loss.
Other Income
In 2024, the other income of $127,811 was related to the accounting gain of the change in our lease agreement of $15,350 for the partial lease termination and the net amount of debt forgiveness related to various debt instruments of $112,461. Other income in 2023 included a one-time refund of taxes of $1,662,698 related to the approval of the Employee Retention Credit by the IRS as well as the gain of $95,131 related to debt forgiveness.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense decreased by approximately $828,000 and includes interest on indebtedness, amortization of loan fees, cost of stock options as part of debt agreements and fees for financing accounts receivable invoices. The decrease in interest expense is principally attributable to bridge loan financing considerations of approximately $836,000 and interest of approximately $266,000 associated with the borrowing on the ERC receivable in 2023. This was offset by interest associated with new borrowings in 2024.
| 31 |
| Table of Contents |
Net Loss
The improvement in net loss is attributable primarily to the selling, general and administrative items discussed above resultant from our focus on growing and developing the Nodeware product, and the decrease in the interest expense associated with loans from 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2024, we had cash of $168,937 available for working capital needs and planned capital asset expenditures and a working capital deficit of approximately $8,782,000 with a current ratio of 0.09.
During 2024, our primary sources of liquidity were cash provided by collections of accounts receivable and our factoring line of credit, and short term debt arrangements. We maintain an accounts receivable financing line of credit with an independent financial institution that allows us to sell selected accounts receivable invoices to the financial institution with full recourse against us in the amount of $2,000,000, including a sublimit for one major client of $1,500,000. This provides us with the cash needed to finance certain of our on-going costs and expenses. At December 31, 2024, based on eligible accounts receivable, we had $151,000 available under this arrangement. We expect sales during 2025 to generate additional accounts receivable eligible for factoring, that will support our operations. We pay fees based on the length of time that the invoice remains unpaid.
At December 31, 2024, we had current notes payable of $139,000 to related parties. $40,000 of this debt was due on January 1, 2023. The remaining $99,000 are in the form of demand notes with an interest rate of 6%.
At December 31, 2024, we have current notes payable of approximately $1,745,000 to third parties, which includes convertible notes payable of approximately $150,000. Also included is $12,500 in principal amount of a note payable due on June 30, 2016 but not paid by then. This note was issued in payment of software we purchased in February 2016 and secured by a security interest in the software. To date, the holder has not taken any action to collect the amount past due on this note or to enforce the security interest in the software.
| 32 |
| Table of Contents |
Also included in the current notes payable to third parties at December 31, 2023, are five bridge loans with Mast Hill Fund, L.P. All five loans bear interest at 8% and are subject to a 12% default interest rate as well as a 15% penalty in the event of a default. We used the proceeds from the bridge loans to substantially enhance marketing of our Nodeware solution, in order to significantly increase its growth. In 2022, a total of approximately $737,000 was recorded as deferred note costs. An additional amount of approximately $125,000 was recorded as deferred note costs associated with these loans in 2023. At December 31, 2024, the unamortized balance of the deferred note costs for all five loans was $0. See Note 5 of the 2023 Audited Financial Statements for more information.
Notes payable to third parties at December 31, 2024, includes a loan with Celtic Bank. In lieu of interest, this has a one-time up-front fixed fee of $12,391. This entire fee was recorded as deferred note costs. The remaining unamortized balance at December 31, 2024 was $0.
At December 31, 2024, we also have an accrued liability for the voluntary match portion of a former simple IRA plan, including interest, of approximately $310,000. We do not anticipate distributing this liability in the next year or two. Interest will continue to accrue.
We have approximately $925,000 of current maturities of long-term obligations to third parties. This is composed of six notes including long-term notes to third parties of $265,000 due on January 1, 2018, which has not been renewed or amended, $175.000 due on January 1, 2024, which has not been renewed or amended, $100,000 due on January 1, 2024, which has not been renewed or amended, $9,000 due on January 1, 2024, which has not been renewed or amended, $126,473 due on August 24, 2025, and $250,000 due on September 30, 2024. The accrued interest on these notes is approximately $384,000 at December 31, 2024.
We have approximately $1,187,000 of current maturities of long-term obligations to related parties. This is composed of $25,000 which was due on June 30, 2023, $90,000 which was due on July 31, 2023, an $146,300 due on January 1, 2024 to two officers of the Company. The amount also includes $328,000 due on January 1, 2024 to our Chairman and $70,000 which was due on January 1, 2023 to a non-officer insider. During 2024, we incurred a long-term debt agreement with the non-officer insider for approximately $1,905,000 with the amount due within the next twelve months of approximately $528,000. The accrued interest of these six notes is approximately $304,000 at December 31, 2024.
We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to repay current notes payable or obtain extensions of maturity dates for long term notes payable when they mature or that we will be able to repay or otherwise refinance the notes at their schedules maturities.
Our ability to raise the additional capital is dependent on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the market demand for our common stock, which itself is subject to a number of development and business risks and uncertainties, our creditworthiness and the uncertainty that we would be able to raise such additional capital at a price that is favorable to us. In addition, our ability to raise additional funds may be adversely impacted by deteriorating global economic conditions and the recent or future disruptions to, and volatility in, the financial markets in the United States and worldwide. With regards to our existing debt, we plan to restructure the debt, convert debt to equity or pay down appropriate debt. We may also increase ownership via exercising of stock options and the potential sale of restricted stock. If adequate funds are not available when needed, we may need to significantly reduce our operations while we seek strategic alternatives, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives including new software initiatives.
We do not engage in any activities involving variable interest entities or off-balance sheet arrangements.
There is substantial doubt of the Company to continue as a going concern and our audit report included this matter

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities
Our operating cash flow is primarily affected by the overall profitability of our contracts, our ability to invoice and collect from our clients in a timely manner, and our ability to manage our vendor payments. We bill the majority of our clients or monthly after services are performed, depending on the contract terms. Our net loss of $1,647,918 for 2024 was increased by non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization, bad debt expense, and amortization of debt discount, and decreased by non-cash recoveries of bad debt expense, for a net change of $282,197. In addition, a decrease in accounts payable and deferred revenue, with an increase in accrued expenses, totaling $822,285, offset by increases in accounts receivable and other assets of $310,744, and the other income gain of $130,811 resulted in net cash used by operating activities of $984,991.
We are increasing our marketing of Nodeware to our IT channel partners who resell to their customers. We are making investments in our cyber security team for penetration testing, CISOTaaS and other services. Due to the lengthy lead times typically needed to generate these new sales, we do not expect to realize a return from our sales and marketing personnel for one or more quarters. As a result, we may continue to experience small operating income or operating losses from these investments in personnel until sufficient sales are generated. We expect to fund the cost for the new sales personnel from our operating cash flows and incremental borrowings, as needed.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
In 2024 and 2023, we incurred capital expenditures for computer hardware as well as software development labor for the enhancements to Nodeware. The decrease of $30,750 from 2023 was primarily due to a similar level of development activities in 2024 that were capitalized. We expect to continue to invest in computer hardware and software to update our technology to support the growth of our business. We do not anticipate our continued investment to be significant.
In 2023, we sold the rights to our Employee Retention Credit claim to an outside third party, generating funds of $1,413,294.
Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities
During 2024, we received $2,391,000 from various debt products, including a future receivables purchase agreement with UFS West LLC for $150,000 which is paid in 34 weekly installments, a subordinated business loan and security agreement with Agile Lending, LLC for $185,500 payable over 24 weeks, a restructured loan with Celtic Bank for $150,500, and an amended and restated loan and security with a related party for $1,905,000. We paid the principal of $816,490 on short term debt, $153,758 on long-term debt and $103,745 of related party short term debt.
As part of paying off the UFS West, LLC, Agile Lending, LLC, from above and the Fresh Funding and BlueVine agreements from 2023, we recorded a net gain on forgiveness of debt of approximately $115,000 in 2024.
During 2023, we received $118,000 from a bridge loan from the Mast Hill Fund L.P, with debt issuance costs of $17,900. We received two loans from Celtic Bank associated with Stripe payments for approximately $325,000, with debt issuance costs of $28,867. We received a line of credit of $200,000 from BlueVine and withdrew another $42,224 from the line after three months with debt issuance costs of $12,391. We also received $120,000 from a Sale of Future Receipts Agreement and $150,000 from a business loan agreement with Fresh Funding. These increases were partially offset by short term loan payments of $504,710.
In 2023, we also paid off our bridge loan to Talos Victory Fund. The negotiated payment was $200,000. We recorded a gain on forgiveness of debt of approximately $95,000 with the transaction.
We plan to evaluate alternatives which may include renegotiating the terms of the notes, seeking conversion of the notes to shares of common stock and seeking funds to repay the notes. We continue to evaluate repayment of our notes payable based on our cash flow.
Credit Resources
We maintain an accounts receivable financing line of credit from an independent financial institution that allows us to sell selected accounts receivable invoices to the financial institution with full recourse against us in the amount of $2,000,000, including a sublimit for one major client of $1,500,000. This provides us with the cash needed to finance certain costs and expenses. At December 31, 2024, we had financing availability, based on eligible accounts receivable, of approximately $151,000 under this line. We pay fees based on the length of time that the invoice remains unpaid. We also have approximately $16,000 of available credit under various lines of credit as of December 31, 2024.
During May 2019, we originated a line of credit note payable for a $500,000 with a related party and borrowed $499,000 and have $1,000 available to borrow for working capital. This agreement matures in August 2026.
During 2017, we originated two lines of credit with related parties totaling $175,000. At December 31, 2023, we had $15,000 available under these financing agreements which matured in January 2023 and July 2023, respectively. We are renegotiating terms with the debtholders.
We believe the capital resources available under our factoring line of credit, cash from additional related party loans and cash generated by improving the results of our operations will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations for at least the next 12 months. We anticipate financing growth from acquisitions of other businesses, if any, and our longer-term internal growth through one or more of the following sources: issuance of equity: cash from collections of accounts receivable; additional borrowing from related and third parties; use of our existing accounts receivable credit facility; a refinancing of our accounts receivable credit facility.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Infinite Group have been detected.
(b) Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on these criteria.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
The Company’s Board and stockholders approved a stock option plan adopted in 2005. Since this plan has expired, no additional options may be granted under this plan. At December 31, 2024, there are options for 801 common shares under this plan.
The 2009 Stock Option Plan (“2009 Plan”) was established in February 2009 to align the interests of our employees, consultants, agents and affiliates with those of our stockholders to incent them to increase their efforts on our behalf and to promote the success of our business. The 2009 Plan expired on February 3, 2019, and as of December 31, 2024, there were outstanding options to acquire 3,334 shares of common stock under the 2009 Plan. Generally, the 2009 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Board and provides (i) for the granting of non-qualified stock options, (ii) that the maximum term for options granted under the plan is 10 years and (iii) that the exercise price for the options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Since this plan has expired, no additional options may be granted under this plan.
The 2019 Stock Option Plan (“2019 Plan”) Plan was established in August 2019 to align the interests of our employees, consultants, agents and affiliates with those of our stockholders to incent them to increase their efforts on our behalf and to promote the success of our business. Under the 2019 Plan up to 20,000 shares of common stock were authorized for option grants.

As of December 31, 2024, there were outstanding options to acquire 934 shares under the 2019 Plan and zero shares were available under our 2019 Plan. The 2019 Plan was replaced by our 2021 Plan (defined below) upon approval by our stockholders at our Annual Meeting on January 26, 2022 as described below.
The 2020 stock option plan (“2020 Plan”) was established in April 2020 to align the interests of our employees, consultants, agents and affiliates with those of our stockholders to incent them to increase their efforts on our behalf and to promote the success of our business. Under the 2020 Plan up to 20,000 shares of common stock were authorized for option grants.

The Infinite Group, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was approved and adopted by our Board on December 15, 2021, subject to stockholder approval. The 2021 Plan was submitted to our stockholders for their approval at our 2021 Annual Meeting on January 26, 2022, and our stockholder approved the plan at the Annual Meeting. The 2021 Plan replaces the 2019 Plan and the 2020 Plan (the “Prior Plans”), and no further awards may be granted under the Prior Plans. The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to promote stockholder value and our future success by providing appropriate retention and performance incentives to employees and non-employee directors of the Company or its affiliates, and any other individuals who perform services for the Company or its affiliates. Generally, the 2021 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Board and provides that the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for grant and issuance under the 2021 Plan is (a) 60,000, plus (b) any shares of Common Stock that are subject to options granted under the Prior Plans that expire, are forfeited or canceled or terminate for any other reason without the issuance of shares under the Prior Plans on or after January 26, 2022, plus (c) any shares of Common Stock that are subject to options granted under the Prior Plans that are used to pay the exercise price of an option or withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any option under the Prior Plans on or after January 26, 2022. As of December 31, 2024, there were outstanding options to acquire 52,734 shares under the 2021 Plan and 31,655 shares were available under our 2021 Plan.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The audit committee charter provides that the audit committee will pre-approve audit services and non-audit services to be provided by our independent auditors before the accountant is engaged to render these services. The audit committee may consult with management in the decision-making process, but may not delegate this authority to management. The audit committee may delegate its authority to pre-approve services to one or more committee members, provided that the designees present the pre-approvals to the full committee at the next committee meeting.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INFINITE GROUP, INC.
DECEMBER 31, 2024
with
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
(
| 48 |
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Infinite Group, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Infinite Group, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has negative working capital, and has total liabilities in excess of its total assets. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters arise from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Default Interest on Debt
Critical Audit Matter description
As discussed in Note 5 of the financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company was in default on several notes where they did not meet required payment obligations. These defaults triggered provisions where amounts due under the notes are subject to a higher default interest rate and the entire principal balance along with accrued and default interest are subject to a 15% penalty.
We identified the accounting for the default and penalty interest amounts as a critical audit matter. Auditing the accounting for these was especially challenging due to the complexity of the agreements and related calculations. Auditing these elements required an increased level of audit effort.
| 49 |
How the Critical Audit Matter was addressed in the Audit
The primary procedures we performed include inspecting the underlying agreements and performing an independent calculation of the amounts due to determine reasonableness of management’s calculation.
We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the Company’s auditor; however, we are aware that we have served as the Company’s auditor since at least 1995.

INFINITE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. - BASIS OF PRESENTATION & BUSINESS
The accompanying financial statements consist of the financial statements of Infinite Group, Inc. (the Company).
The Company operates in one segment, the field of information technology (IT) consulting services, with all operations based in the United States. The primary consulting services are in the cybersecurity industry. There were no significant sales from customers in foreign countries during 2024 and 2023. All assets are located in the United States.
The Company Incorporated two subsidiaries in 2024. There are currently no transactions within those subsidiaries.
NOTE 2. - MANAGEMENT PLANS
The Company reported operating loss of $
The Company’s mission is to drive stockholder value by developing and bringing to market automated, cost effective, and innovative cybersecurity technologies. The Company’s strategy is to build its business by designing, developing, and marketing IT security-based products and solutions that fill technology gaps in cybersecurity.
The Company's goal is to increase sales and generate cash flow from operations on a consistent basis. The Company’s business plans require improving the results of its operations in future periods. The Company has renegotiated the terms of some certain obligations, using operational cash flow to pay down balances and extending terms, and provided financing with the issuance of new loans.
The Company believes the capital resources generated by the improving results of its operations as well as cash available under its factoring line of credit and from additional related parties and third-party loans, if needed, provide sources to fund its ongoing operations and to support the internal growth of the Company. The Company may need to extend existing debt agreements in order to provide resources for other purposes. If the Company experiences significant growth in its sales, the Company believes that this may require it to increase its financing line, finance additional accounts receivable, or obtain additional working capital from other sources to support its sales growth.
The Company plans to continue to evaluate alternatives which may include continuing to renegotiate the terms of other notes, seeking conversion of the notes to shares of common stock and seeking funds to repay the notes. The Company continues to evaluate repayment of our remaining notes payable based on its cash flow.
As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of issuance of the financial statements.
NOTE 3. - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounts Receivable
Credit is granted to substantially all customers throughout the United States. The Company carries its accounts receivable at invoice amount, less an allowance for credit losses. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for credit losses, based on a history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions. The Company’s policy is to not accrue interest on past due receivables. Management determined that an allowance of $
Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in financial institutions. The cash accounts occasionally exceed the federally insured deposit amount; however, management does not anticipate nonperformance by financial institutions. Management reviews the financial viability of these institutions on a periodic basis.
Loan Origination Fees - The Company capitalizes the costs of loan origination fees and amortizes the fees as interest expense over the contractual life of each agreement and they are shown as a reduction of the debt.
Sale of Certain Accounts Receivable - The Company has available a financing line with a financial institution (the Purchaser). In connection with this line of credit, the Company adopted FASB ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing”. FASB ASC 860 provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. The Company has a factoring line with the Purchaser which enables the Company to sell selected accounts receivable invoices to the Purchaser with full recourse against the Company.
| 55 |
These transactions qualify for a sale of assets since (1) the Company has transferred all of its right, title and interest in the selected accounts receivable invoices to the financial institution, (2) the Purchaser may pledge, sell or transfer the selected accounts receivable invoices, and (3) the Company has no effective control over the selected accounts receivable invoices since it is not entitled to or obligated to repurchase or redeem the invoices before their maturity and it does not have the ability to unilaterally cause the Purchaser to return the invoices. Under FASB ASC 860, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.
Pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 860, the Company reflects the transactions as a sale of assets and establishes an accounts receivable from the Purchaser for the retained amount less the costs of the transaction and less any anticipated future loss in the value of the retained asset.
The estimated future loss reserve for each receivable included in the estimated value of the retained asset is based on the payment history of the accounts receivable customer and is included in the allowance for credit losses, if any. As collateral, the Company granted the Purchaser a first priority interest in accounts receivable and a blanket lien, which may be junior to other creditors, on all other assets.
The financing line provides the Company the ability to finance up to $
There were no gains or losses on the sale of the accounts receivable because all were collected. The cost associated with the financing line was approximately $
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives for financial statement purposes. The cost of improvements to leased properties is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred while improvements are capitalized.
Capitalization of Software for Resale - The Company capitalizes the software development costs for software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed. Capitalization begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility of a new product or enhancements to an existing product, which is generally the completion of a working prototype that has been certified as having no critical bugs and is a release candidate. Costs incurred after the enhancement has reached technological feasibility and before it is released in the market are capitalized and are primarily labor costs related to coding and testing. Amortization begins once the software is ready for its intended use, generally based on the pattern in which the economic benefits will be consumed. Costs associated with major upgrade releases begin amortization in the month after release. The amortization period is three years. As of December 31, 2024, there is $
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets - The Company follows provisions of FASB ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” in accounting for the impairment of disposal of long-lived assets. This standard specifies, among other things, that long-lived assets are to be reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets during 2024 and 2023.
Revenue Recognition -The Company’s revenues are generated under both time and material and fixed price agreements. Managed support services revenue is recognized when the associated costs are incurred, which coincides with the consulting services being provided. Time and materials service agreements are based on hours worked and are billed at agreed upon hourly rates for the respective position plus other billable direct costs. Fixed price service agreements are based on a fixed amount of periodic billings for recurring services of a similar nature performed according to the contractual arrangements with clients. These agreements are arrangements for monthly or weekly support services. Under both types of agreements, the delivery of services occurs when an employee works on a specific project or assignment as stated in the contract or purchase order. Based on historical experience, the Company believes that collection is reasonably assured.
The Company sells licenses of Nodeware and a third-party software, Webroot. The majority of customers are invoiced monthly at fixed rates for license fees and revenue is recognized over time.
| 56 |
The Company’s total revenue recognized from contracts from customers was comprised of three major services: Managed support services, Cybersecurity projects, and Software. The categories depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. There were no material unsatisfied performance obligations at December 31, 2024 or 2023 for contracts with an expected original duration of more than one year. The following table summarizes the revenue recognized by the major services:

Managed support services
Managed support services consist of revenue primarily from our subcontracts for services to its end clients, principally a major establishment of the U.S. Government for which we manage one of the nation’s largest physical and virtual Microsoft Windows environments.
| · | We generate revenue primarily from these subcontracts through fixed price service and support agreements. Revenues are earned and billed weekly and are generally paid within 45 days. The revenues are recognized at time of service. |
Cybersecurity projects
Cybersecurity projects include performing cybersecurity assessments, testing and consulting as a CISO (Chief Information Security Officer).
| - | Cybersecurity assessments and testing services are considered distinct performance obligations when sold stand alone or with other products. These contracts generally have terms of one year or less. For substantially all these contracts, revenue is recognized when the specific performance obligation is satisfied. If the contract has multiple performance obligations, the revenue is recognized when the performance obligations are satisfied. Depending on the nature of the service, the amounts recognized are based on an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price of the products sold. |
|
|
|
| - | In substantially all agreements, a 50% to 75% down payment is required before work is initiated. Down payments received are deferred until revenue is earned. Upon completion of performance obligation of service, payment terms are 30 days. |
Software
Software revenue includes the selling of licenses of Nodeware® and third-party software, principally Webroot™.
| - | Nodeware and Webroot software offerings consist of fees generated from the use of the respective software by our customers. Revenue is recognized on a ratable basis over the contract term beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer. For Webroot, substantially all customers are billed in the month of the service and is cancellable upon notice per the respective agreements. The majority of Webroot billing is electronic, and approximately half of those billed amounts are paid to the Company instantaneously via an online payment platform. For Nodeware, billings generally occur annually or monthly in advance of services for clients with recurring subscriptions. In some instances, billing is made monthly in arrears based on actual consumption in the prior month. For payments made in advance, revenue related to the term associated with our software licenses is recognized ratably over the contractual period. |
|
|
|
| - | We generate revenue via fixed price service agreements. These are based on periodic billings of a fixed dollar amount for recurring services of a similar nature performed according to the contractual arrangements with clients. The revenues are recognized at time of service. |
|
|
|
| - | Based on historical experience, the Company believes that collection is reasonably assured. |
For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized revenue of approximately $
During 2024, sales to one client, including sales under subcontracts for services to several entities, accounted for 65.8% of total sales (
Stock Options - The Company recognizes compensation expense related to stock-based payments at the grant date fair value of the awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of the awards.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income tax expense in accordance with FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
| 57 |
The Company periodically reviews tax positions taken to determine if it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination. The Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2024 or 2023. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.
The Company files U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in various states. The tax years 2020 through 2024 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company has determined the fair value of debt and other financial instruments using a valuation hierarchy. The hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, consists of three levels.
Level 1 uses observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 uses inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 is defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exist and requires the Company to develop its own assumptions.
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to their short maturity. The carrying amount of the Company’s term debt and notes payable approximates fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates, taken together with other features such as concurrent issuance of warrants, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, as well as dilutive potential common shares which, in the Company’s case, comprise shares issuable under convertible notes payable, warrants and stock options. The treasury stock method is used to calculate dilutive shares, which reduces the gross number of dilutive shares by the number of shares purchasable from the proceeds of options and notes assumed to be exercised. In a loss year, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Certain common shares issuable under stock options and convertible notes payable have been omitted from the diluted net income (loss) per share calculation because their inclusion is considered anti-dilutive because the exercise or conversion prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares or their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Reclassifications - The Company reclassifies amounts in its prior year financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Leases
The Company recognizes a liability for their lease obligations and a corresponding right-of-use asset, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. Subsequent accounting depends on whether the agreement is deemed to be a financing or operating lease. For operating leases, a lessee recognizes its total lease expense as an operating expense over the lease term. Assets and liabilities are presented and disclosed separately, and the liabilities must be classified appropriately as current and noncurrent.
Recent Accounting Guidance Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company increased its Allowance for Credit Losses by approximately $
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses on an interim and annual basis. All disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-07 are required for entities with a single reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. See Note15 of these financial statements for the disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). This new guidance is designed to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments of this update are related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid, requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. We do not plan to early adopt this standard. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this standard on our disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). It provides guidance for updating the disclosure requirements for income statement expenses, primarily through disaggregation of certain types of expenses presented on the income statement. ASU 2024-03’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either: (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date, or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its disclosures.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions. Volatility is based on the Company’s historical volatility. The expected life of the options was determined using the simplified method for plain vanilla options as stated in FASB ASC 718 to improve the accuracy of this assumption while simplifying record keeping requirements until more detailed information about the Company’s exercise behavior is available. The risk-free rate for the life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The following assumptions were used for the year ended December 31, 2023:

NOTE 15. – SEGMENT INFORMATION
We operate as a single business segment focused on the development and sales of cybersecurity software and the related cybersecurity consulting, advisory, and managed information security services. The determination of a single business segment is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by our Chief Executive Officer, the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources on a company basis. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
The CODM measures segment profit and loss by net loss as reported in the statement of operations. The CODM uses net loss to monitor budget and forecast versus actual results to assess segment performance and to allocate resources across the organization. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.
The following table summarizes segment revenue, segment loss, and significant segment expenses regularly reported to the CODM during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
