ITEM 1. BUSINESS
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
Overview
Sysorex, Inc. through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sysorex Government Services, Inc. (“SGS”), provides information technology solutions primarily to the public sector. These solutions include cybersecurity, professional services, engineering support, IT consulting, enterprise level technology, networking, wireless, help desk and custom IT solutions. In addition to SGS, the Company has another wholly owned subsidiary, TTM Digital Assets &Technologies, Inc. (“TTM Digital”). TTM Digital is a digital asset technology company that previously operated specialized cryptocurrency mining processors and was previously focused on the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem. As of September 15, 2022, Ethereum switched from a Proof of Work model to a Proof of Stake model and as a result, the Company is no longer mining Ethereum or any other cryptocurrency. TTM Digital no longer holds any Ethereum or other crypto tokens or crypto assets at this time and does not conduct any mining activities and does not have any plans to mine crypto tokens in the future. TTM Digital is currently exploring alternative uses and sales opportunities for its Graphics Processing Units (“GPU”) assets and datacenter located in Lockport, NY. The Company had previously been in discussions with a third party to sell its mining assets and certain associated real property.
Overview of the Company’s Subsidiaries
Sysorex Government Services
SGS is a provider of information technology solutions from multiple vendors, including hardware products, software, services, including warranty and maintenance support, offered through our dedicated sales force, ecommerce channels, existing federal contracts and service team. Since our founding, we have served our customers by offering products and services from key industry vendors such as Aruba, Cisco, Dell, GETAC, Lenovo, Microsoft, Panasonic, Samsung, Symantec, VMware and others. We provide our customers with comprehensive solutions incorporating leading products and services across a variety of technology practices and platforms such as cyber, cloud, networking, security, and mobility. We utilize our professional services, consulting services and partners to develop and implement these solutions. Our sales and marketing efforts in collaboration with our vendor partners allow us to reach multiple customer public sector segments including federal, state and local governments, as well as educational institutions.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, our sales to federal, state and local governments accounted for approximately 100% of our SGS net sales. Our past customers have included, among others, federal and international government agencies and state and local governments. Although SGS has had many customers, two customers generated approximately 87% of SGS’s gross revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022. One customer accounted for 61% of SGS’s gross revenue in 2022; however, this customer may or may not continue to be a significant contributor to revenue in 2023. We plan to continue to focus our efforts on existing and potential government customers.
SGS experiences variability in our net sales and operating results on a quarterly basis as a result of many factors. SGS experiences some seasonal trends in our sales of technology solutions to government and educational institutions. For example, the fiscal year-ends of U.S. Public Sector customers vary for those in the federal government space and those in the state and local government and educational institution (“SLED”) space. SGS generally sees an increase in our second quarter sales related to customers in the U.S. SLED sector and in our third quarter sales related to customers in the federal government space as these customers close out their budgets for their fiscal year (June 30th and September 30th, respectively). SGS may also experience variability in our gross profit and gross profit margin as a result of changes in the various vendor programs we participate in and its effect on the amount of vendor consideration we receive from a particular vendor or their authorized distributor/wholesaler, may be impacted by a number of events outside of our control.
TTM Digital
TTM Digital is a digital asset technology company that previously operated specialized cryptocurrency mining processors and was previously focused on the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem. As noted in Overview, the Company is no longer mining Ethereum or any other cryptocurrency. TTM Digital no longer holds any Ethereum or other crypto tokens or crypto assets at this time, does not conduct any mining activities, and does not have any plans to mine crypto tokens in the future.
In the fall of 2021, the Company made the decision to divest certain mining equipment and the data center of the TTM Digital reporting unit and commenced discussions with a third party to execute an asset sale in the spring of 2022. On March 24, 2022, the Company executed Heads of Terms (“Heads of Terms”) with Ostendo Technologies, Inc. (“Ostendo”) which included certain binding and non-binding provisions. Pursuant to the Heads of Terms, the Company and Ostendo agreed to certain terms related to the Company’s sale of its Ethereum mining assets and certain associated real property (“Assets”) to Ostendo for Ostendo preferred stock. The parties agreed that the Assets to be sold would not include the Company’s Ether funds generated prior to and held at closing. The definitive terms of the sale of Assets were to be set forth in definitive transaction agreements to be executed by the parties. Additionally, pursuant to the Heads of Terms, the Company agreed to make a non-refundable deposit of $1,600,000 (“Deposit”) to be credited toward the purchase of an additional 166,667 shares of Ostendo’s preferred stock. The Company has in good faith worked with Ostendo to ensure all closing terms and closing conditions were mutually agreed upon, however, the parties have not entered into definitive transaction agreements and accordingly, it was determined in November 2022 that the transaction will not proceed. In November 2022, the Company requested that Ostendo issue, pursuant to the Heads of Terms, shares equal to the initial deposit made by the Company of $1,600,000. In November 2022, the Company received a certificate, dated November 14, 2022, for the shares, and thereafter, the Company received confirmation that the Certificate of Designations for the preferred stock had been filed and accepted by the California Secretary of State on November 14, 2022.
TTM Digital is exploring the possibility of hosting client computing and evaluating all of its options, including the sale of its assets. TTM Digital is actively talking with potential third-party buyers privately, the assets have not been listed for sale in any formal capacity at this time. The TTM Digital assets are tied to its 2021 private placement offering (convertible debt) as collateral, therefore any transactions related to the sale of TTM Digital assets would require approval of 66.7% of the debenture holders to allow for any sale of assets. TTM Digital is not using any assets to mine any cryptocurrency at this time and has no plans to mine any crypto assets at this time or in the future. Most of the TTM Digital assets can be utilized for Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or other non-mining uses that require significant GPU computer resources. At this time the Company is exploring those uses in detail.
Employees
As of June 12, 2023, we had 14 full-time employees. We believe our employee relations to be good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
Although smaller reporting companies like the Company are not required to respond to this item, we have elected to do so in the interest of full disclosure.
Certain factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, in addition to other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or believe are not material may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose part or all your investment.
Risks Related to our Business
We are currently in default under our convertible debentures. All our assets are encumbered to secure the payment of secured convertible debentures that will require payments if not previously converted to Common Stock.
We encumbered all our assets to secure the payment of indebtedness and accrued interest due on secured convertible debentures required to be repaid by approximately July 2022, subject to certain extensions, if not previously converted.
The Company’s outstanding obligations which encumber the Company’s assets to secure payment of certain secured convertible debt are as follows:
● $15,272,017 worth of convertible debt on December 31, 2022, which encumber all of the Company’s assets to secure payment, and which are convertible into 43,634,338,259 shares of the Company’s common stock based on an assumed conversion price of $0.00035 per share using a May 30, 2023, 5-day VWAP with a 50% discount.
Because we are in default in repayment, our secured creditor could exercise its remedies, including the execution on all our assets, which would result in the termination of our activities. Unless we generate enough cash, we may not have sufficient funds to pay our debentures and other indebtedness when due. In such an event, we might be required to sell our assets and properties to meet our obligations, or to seek an extension to our debentures, or alternative debt or equity financing. This would also cause our stock price to decline and could make an investment in us worthless and would have a material adverse effect on our investors and the Company.
Even if we are able to cure our default on the debentures, the existence of these secured obligations and the terms of the securities purchase agreement may impair our ability to obtain capital from external sources in certain manners.
Our existing and future debt obligations could impair our liquidity and financial condition. We are currently in default under our convertible debentures. If we are unable to meet our debt obligations, the lenders could foreclose on our assets.
All of our assets are encumbered to secure the payment of secured convertible debentures that will require payments if not previously converted to common stock. We are currently in default on these debt obligations. Our debt and financial obligations:
● could impair our liquidity;
● could make it more difficult for us to satisfy our other obligations;
● require us to dedicate cash flow to payments on our debt and financial obligations, which would reduce the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate requirements;
● impose restrictions on our ability to incur other indebtedness, grant liens on our assets, and could impede us from obtaining additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes;
● could adversely affect our ability to enter into strategic transactions, public or private equity offerings, and similar agreements, or require us to obtain the consent to enter into such transactions;
● make us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in our business prospects and could limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our industry and markets; and
● could place us at a competitive disadvantage when compared to our competitors.
We are in default under the secured convertible debentures. Since we have pledged substantially all of our assets to secure our obligations under the secured convertible debentures, the debt default could enable the lenders to foreclose on the assets securing such debt and could significantly diminish the market value and marketability of our common stock and could result in the acceleration of other payment obligations or default under other contracts.
We do not currently have enough authorized shares of common stock under our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to meet all of our potential obligations to third parties.
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide for 3,000,000,000 authorized shares of our common stock. As of June 12, 2023, we have 2,484,426,501 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2022, holders of our convertible debentures have delivered notices of conversion covering an aggregate of 1,159,494,989 shares of common stock. If we issued the shares that are subject to the notices of conversion that have been delivered, it would result in us issuing more shares than we have authorized. Accordingly, in order to meet all of these obligations, we will need to amend our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the authorized shares of our common stock. We can give no assurance that we will obtain the requisite affirmative vote of our shareholders to so amend our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition and the market for our shares.
We have a history of operating losses and our auditors have indicated that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an approximate cash balance of $0.03 million, working capital deficit of approximately $18.1 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $61.4 million. In an effort to raise capital, on October 18, 2022, the Company completed a $.5 million private placement, and subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Company sold investments in certain preferred shares held for approximately $0.18 million to a related party. Despite these efforts to raise capital, the aforementioned factors continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
The Company does not believe that its capital resources as of December 31, 2022, its ability to settle a portion of existing convertible debt obligations through issuance of the Company’s shares, availability on the SouthStar facility to finance cash advances to suppliers, purchase orders and invoices, reauthorization of key vendors and credit limitation improvements will be sufficient to fund planned operations during the next twelve months. Additionally, the Company is in default on the aforementioned convertible debt, which was due to be repaid in July 2022, and is accruing related interest, late fees and other penalties. As a result of the above factors, the Company will need additional funds to fulfil its obligations. On September 22, 2022, the shareholders of the Company approved the authorization of 3 billion shares of common stock, however, all of the Company’s authorized shares have been issued or reserved since October 21, 2022, resulting in unfilled conversion notices and an inability to fill potential future conversion notices from convertible debt holders. In order for the Company to fulfil any further conversion obligations, the Company would need to receive approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) for a reverse stock-split and obtain shareholder approval for an increase in authorized shares. Existing unfilled conversion notices received in excess of available and authorized shares as of June 12, 2023, total 1,159,494,989. In order to satisfy all possible conversion obligations from existing debtholders as of December 31, 2022, the Company estimates a share deficit of approximately 43.4 billion shares based on the 3 billion currently authorized. Given these circumstances, it is improbable that the Company will be able to satisfactorily fulfil such obligations, even if the above steps are successfully taken.
The Company continues to explore a number of other possible solutions to its financing needs, including efforts to raise additional capital as needed, through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, as well as possible transactions with other companies, strategic partnerships, and other mechanisms for addressing our financial condition. The Company will utilize its current contracts that are not limited to a single branch of government or a specific agency as these contracts can provide the Company with an opportunity to attain new solutions and service type orders. The Company will also utilize SGS’s small business status to partner with prime contractors on larger orders. The Company currently utilizes SouthStar to finance purchase orders and it also can factor its receivables if needed to fund operations. After considering the plans to alleviate substantial doubt, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
If the Company is unable to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to the Company and on a timely basis, or is unable to attain new vendors, the Company will be required to downsize or wind down its operations through liquidation, bankruptcy, or sale of its assets. In addition, up until September 15, 2022, the Company had been reliant on its ability to liquidate Ethereum to continue to fund operations when needed, however the Company is no longer mining Ethereum and as such, the Company will not be able to fund operations through the liquidation of Ethereum for the next twelve months.
Our capital resources and operating results, as of and through December 31, 2022, consist of the (i) an overall working capital deficit of $18.1 million, (ii) cash and cash equivalents of $0.03 million, of (iii) net cash used in operating activities of $7.5 million, (iv) net cash provided by investing activities of $6.5 million, and (v) net cash provided by financing activities of $0.4 million.
We have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022 and concluded that we had material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and therefore, our disclosure controls and procedures may not be effective in providing material information required to be included in any future periodic SEC filings on a timely basis and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in any future periodic SEC filings is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure about our internal control over financial reporting. See “Item 9A: Controls and Procedures.” More specifically, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the following material weaknesses:
1. The Company does not have a formal top-down risk assessment process or cyber risk assessment to identify significant process areas, underlying key controls, nor does the Company have a monitoring process in place to monitor internal control over financial reporting.
2. The Company did not properly design or maintain effective entity level monitoring controls over the financial close and reporting process. The Company’s controls surrounding the review of financial statements, vendor agreements, key reconciliations and accounting for complex transactions were not designed and did not operate at a level of precision that would prevent or detect a material misstatement.
3. The Company did not design and implement appropriate user access controls to ensure segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user access to financially significant information systems, and schedules, specifically surrounding mining revenue and mining equipment.
4. The Company has not implemented formalized and documented detective compensating controls over significant process areas integral to financial reporting that mitigate insufficient segregation of duties.
5. The Company did not properly design or maintain effective controls over its service organizations and IT vendors. More specifically, the Company did not properly design or implement controls to ensure that data received from third parties is complete and accurate or have controls in place to review the applicable complementary user entity controls described in service organizations’ reports for their potential impact on the Company’s financial reporting.
Although management has started to implement, and will continue to implement, actions to remediate the underlying causes of the control deficiencies that gave rise the material weaknesses, we cannot provide any assurance that the remediation efforts will be successful or that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective as a result of these efforts.
On May 17, 2022, subsequent to the evaluation as of December 31, 2021, management, in agreement with the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, determined that the previously issued financial statements for the Affected Periods (as hereinafter defined) should no longer be relied upon and required restatement. Accordingly, the Company filed an amendment on Form 10-K (the “10-K Amendment”) to restate the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements and financial information as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as well as to provide restated interim financial information as of September 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months then ended (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 14, 2022 (the “Original Form 10-K”) and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”). As discussed in Note 1A, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements,” of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included from previously reported information for the year ended December 31, 2021, the correction of certain errors, as discussed in the 10-K Amendment, from previously reported information for the year ended December 31, 2021, has resulted in an increase in net loss of $8.4 million, primarily as a result of a $6.3 million in expense related to the revaluation on the derivative conversion liability, an increase in interest expense of $0.9 million, and an increase in the loss contingency on debt default of $1.2 million. See “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Restatement of Our Consolidated Financial Statements.”
If we fail to comply with the rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act related to disclosure controls and procedures in the future, or, if we continue to have material weaknesses or other deficiencies in our internal control and accounting procedures and disclosure controls and procedures, our stock price could decline significantly and raising capital could be more difficult. If additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies are discovered or if we otherwise fail to address the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, our business may be harmed. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our securities could drop significantly.
We are a holding company whose subsidiaries are given a certain degree of independence, and our failure to integrate our subsidiaries may adversely affect our financial condition.
We have given our subsidiary companies and their executives a certain degree of independence in decision-making. On the one hand, this independence may increase the sense of ownership at all levels; on the other hand, it has also increased the difficulty of the integration of operation and management, which has resulted in increased difficulty of management integration. In the event we are not able to successfully manage our subsidiaries, this will result in operating difficulties and have a negative impact on our business.
We are a relatively small company with limited staff and a limited accounting department. Our limited staff and resources may affect our internal controls over financial reporting. Our failure to implement measures that will ensure adequate controls over our financial and other reporting processes could cause us to fail to meet our financial and other reporting obligations.
While we continue to evaluate and improve our internal controls following the Merger, we are a relatively small company with limited staff, particularly with a limited accounting department. The Company currently relies on the part-time services of third-party consultants to help us with our financial accounting, our reporting obligations, and our controls over financial processes and reporting.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.
Due to our current staffing limitations, we cannot be certain that the measures we implement in the future will ensure that we design, undertake, and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting. Any failure by us to hire and retain experienced accounting and financial reporting personnel, implement required new or improved controls, or any difficulties we encounter in their implementation, could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.
Adverse judgments or settlements in legal proceedings could materially harm our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
We are subject to pending claims for non-payment by certain vendors in an aggregate amount of approximately $1.1 million including interest as of December 31, 2022, which is approximately 8% of our total assets. We may also be a party to other claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, which may include those related to, for example, contracts, sub-contracts, protection of confidential information or trade secrets, adversary proceedings arising from customer bankruptcies, employment of our workforce and immigration requirements or compliance with any of a wide array of state and federal statutes, rules and regulations that pertain to different aspects of our business. We may also be required to initiate expensive litigation or other proceedings to protect our business interests. There is a risk that we will not be successful or otherwise be able to satisfactorily resolve any pending or future litigation. In addition, litigation and other legal claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of currently pending legal matters may change in the future. Those uncertainties include, but are not limited to, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees, unpredictable judicial or jury decisions and the differing laws and judicial proclivities regarding damage awards among the states in which we operate. Unexpected outcomes in such legal proceedings, or changes in management’s evaluation or predictions of the likely outcomes of such proceedings (possibly resulting in changes in established reserves), could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Due to recurring losses and net capital deficiency, our current financial status may increase our default and litigation risks and may make us more financially vulnerable in the face of pending or threatened litigation. See “-Risks Related to our Business-We are currently in default under our convertible debentures. All our assets are encumbered to secure the payment of secured convertible debentures that will require payments if not previously converted to Common Stock.”
Future issuances of our common stock pursuant to various existing instruments including, but not limited to the existing convertible debentures and right to shares letter agreements could result in additional significant dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
In the future, the Company will have an obligation to issue its common stock pursuant to various securities instruments entitling their holders to receive shares of the Company’s common stock, including but not limited to rights to shares letter agreements and convertible debentures. Although such instruments typically provide for the limitation of the percentage of the common stock of the respective beneficial owners, the holders of such instruments are expected to obtain shares of common stock from time-to-time or, in some instances, to direct the Company to issue the shares of common stock to designated third parties. As a result, our shareholders may be materially diluted, and the price of our common stock may decline.
Risks Related to Out Former Cryptocurrency Mining Business
The recent transition of Ethereum to proof-of-stake validation caused us to cease mining Ethereum and all other crypto currencies.
Proof-of-stake is an alternative method in validating cryptocurrency transactions. Now that Ethereum has transitioned to proof-of-stake, our data mining assets can no longer mine Ethereum as of September 15, 2022, and as such, all revenues from mining operations have ceased. The Company is no longer mining Ethereum or any other cryptocurrency. TTM Digital no longer holds any Ethereum or other crypto tokens or crypto assets currently and does not conduct any mining activities and does not have any plans to mine crypto tokens in the future.
It may be illegal now, or in the future, to acquire, own, hold, sell or use digital assets in one or more countries.
The United States has current regulations in place applicable to digital assets, including with respect to when digital assets may be a security for purposes of the U.S. federal securities laws. Additionally, the recent bankruptcy filings of FTX, the third largest digital asset exchange by volume at the time of its filing, and its affiliated hedge fund Alameda Research LLC, in addition to other bankruptcy filings of crypto companies throughout calendar year 2022, the industry has faced increased regulatory scrutiny from U.S. regulatory agencies such as the SEC and CFTC. On June 5, 2023, the SEC filed lawsuits against cryptocurrency exchanges Coinbase and Binance. Additionally, the United States, one or more countries such as China, India, and Russia may take further regulatory actions in the future that severely restricts the right to acquire, own, hold, sell, or use digital assets or to exchange digital assets for fiat currency. Such an action may also result in the restriction of ownership, holding, or trading in our securities. Such restrictions may adversely affect an investment in us. For example, the Bank of England, in June of 2021, issued a paper for comments in which it explains that stablecoins should have the same regulations as fiat currencies.
The SEC has been active in asserting its jurisdiction over Initial Coin Offerings (“ICO”) and digital assets and in bringing enforcement cases. The SEC has directed enforcement activity toward digital assets, and more specifically, ICOs. The SEC has issued guidance and made numerous statements regarding the application of securities laws to digital assets. For example, on July 25, 2017, the SEC issued a Report of Investigation (the “Report”) which concluded that “DAO Tokens” offered and sold by the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (“DAO”), a digital decentralized autonomous organization and investor-directed venture capital fund for digital assets, were issued for the purpose of raising funds. The Report concluded that these tokens were “investment contracts” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act and Section 3(a)(10) of the Exchange Act, and therefore securities subject to the federal securities laws. In December 2017, the SEC issued a cease-and-desist letter ordering a company to stop its initial coin offering of tokens on the grounds that it failed to file a registration statement or qualify for an exemption from registration. Similar to the tokens issued by the DAO, the SEC found that these tokens satisfied the definition of an “investment contract,” and were therefore subject to the federal securities laws.
In September 2017, the SEC created a new division known as the “Cyber Unit” to address, among other things, violations involving distributed ledger technology and ICOs, and filed a civil complaint in the Eastern District of New York charging a businessman and two companies with defrauding investors in a pair of so-called ICOs purportedly backed by investments in real estate and diamonds. Subsequently, the SEC has filed several orders instituting cease-and-desist proceedings against certain entities in connection with their unregistered offerings of tokens for failing to register a hedge fund formed for the purpose of investing in digital assets as an investment company for failing to register as a broker-dealer, even though it did not meet the definition of an exchange for failing either to register as a national securities exchange or to operate pursuant to an exemption from registration as an exchange after creating a platform that clearly fell within the definition of an exchange.
On March 9, 2022, President Biden signed an executive order on cryptocurrencies. While the executive order did not mandate any specific regulations, it instructs various federal agencies to consider potential regulatory measures, including the evaluation of the creation of a U.S. Central Bank digital currency. We cannot be certain as to how future regulatory developments will impact the treatment of digital assets under the law, including, but not limited to, whether digital assets will be classified as a security, commodity, currency and/or new or other existing classification. Such additional regulations may result in extraordinary, non-recurring expenses, thereby materially and adversely affecting an investment in us. If we determine not to comply with such additional regulatory and registration requirements, we may seek to cease certain or all of our operations. Any such action could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, we may be subject to investigation, administrative or court proceedings, and civil or criminal monetary fines and penalties as a result of any regulatory enforcement actions, all of which could harm our reputation and affect the value of our common stock. On April 4, 2022, shortly after President Biden’s executive order, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler announced that he has instructed the SEC staff to work (i) to register and regulate digital asset platforms like securities exchanges; (ii) with the CFTC on how to jointly address digital asset platforms that trade both securities and non-securities; (iii) on segregating out digital asset platforms’ custody of customer assets, if appropriate; and (iv) on segregating out the market making functions of digital asset platforms, if appropriate. These efforts have a high likelihood or result in new interpretations or regulations that would have material effects on our business that are impossible to predict.
Although we previously engaged in the mining of cryptocurrency, and previously held cryptocurrency assets, the Company no longer holds any Ethereum or other crypto tokens or crypto assets at this time and the company does not conduct any mining activities and does not have any plans to mine crypto tokens in the future.
Recent bankruptcies and financial distress among crypto asset market participants have caused widespread disruption in the crypto asset markets which may cause reputational harm to the Company.
The recent bankruptcies and financial distress among crypto asset market participants have caused widespread disruption in the crypto asset markets. Additionally, although we are not directly connected to the recent cryptocurrency market events, we may still suffer reputational harm due to our association with the cryptocurrency industry in light of the recent disruption in the crypto asset markets. Although we previously engaged in the mining of cryptocurrency, and previously held cryptocurrency assets, the Company no longer holds any Ethereum or other crypto tokens or crypto assets at this time and the company does not conduct any mining activities and does not have any plans to mine crypto tokens in the future. The recent disruptions in the crypto asset markets have caused regulators, such as the SEC, to more closely focus on companies with any level of involvement in crypto assets, whether past or present, such as the Company. With the recent developments in the market, our assets (GPUs and datacenter) may be impacted from a valuation perspective due to the uncertainty in the market. GPUs, which are typically used to mine cryptocurrencies, have returned to pricing that is closer to retail value rather than overvalued (i.e., marked up above retail due to supply constraints and demand). Additionally, there has been general reputational harm to the market due to the volatility of crypto exchanges, which has affected crypto token pricing negatively as well as pricing of mining equipment. The Company has minimized its impact, since it stopped mining crypto tokens on September 15, 2022, and the Company liquidated its crypto token holdings before the mass disruption in the market due to bankruptcies and increased risks in the market. Additionally, the Company’s crypto assets were not based on client holdings and crypto tokens were mined for the benefit of the Company and its shareholders’ value. However, the volatility in the market has caused the Company’s assets (GPUs and datacenter) to decline in value. The Company no longer holds any Ethereum or other crypto tokens or crypto assets at this time and the company does not conduct any mining activities and does not have any plans to mine crypto tokens in the future.
Our business, financial condition, share price and results of operations may still be adversely affected by recent cryptocurrency industry-wide developments beyond our control.
Even though neither TTM Digital nor the Company holds any cryptocurrency assets at this time, our business, financial condition, share price and results of operations may still be adversely affected by recent cryptocurrency industry-wide developments beyond our control, including the continued industry-wide fallout from the recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings of cryptocurrency exchanges FTX Trading Ltd., et al. (“FTX”) (including its affiliated hedge fund Alameda Research LLC), crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (“Three Arrows”) and crypto lenders Celsius Network LLC, et al. (“Celsius”), Voyager Digital Ltd., et al. (“Voyager”) and BlockFi Inc., et al. (“BlockFi”). Although our former cryptocurrency mining business has no exposure to any of the cryptocurrency market participants that recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy; we have no assets, material or otherwise, that may not be recovered due to these bankruptcies; and we have no exposure to any other counterparties, customers, custodians or other crypto asset market participants known to have (i) experienced excessive redemptions or suspended redemptions or withdrawal of crypto assets, (ii) their crypto assets of their customers unaccounted for, or (iii) experienced material corporate compliance failures; and our other business activities are unaffected by the recent crypto market events; our business, financial condition, share price and results of operations may not be immune to unfavorable investor sentiment resulting from these recent developments in the broader cryptocurrency industry.
Although we previously engaged in the mining of cryptocurrency, and previously held cryptocurrency assets, the Company no longer holds any Ethereum or other crypto tokens or crypto assets at this time and the company does not conduct any mining activities and does not have any plans to mine crypto tokens in the future. With the aforementioned developments in the market, our assets (GPUs and datacenter) may be impacted from a valuation perspective due to the uncertainty in the market. GPUs, which are typically used to mine cryptocurrencies, have returned to pricing that is closer to retail value rather than overvalued (i.e., marked up above retail due to supply constraints and demand). Additionally, there has been general reputational harm to the market due to the volatility of crypto exchanges, which has affected crypto token pricing negatively as well as pricing of mining equipment. The Company has minimized its impact, since it stopped mining crypto tokens on September 15, 2022, and the Company liquidated its crypto token holdings before the mass disruption in the market due to bankruptcies and increased risks in the market. Additionally, the Company’s crypto assets were not based on client holdings and crypto tokens were mined for the benefit of the Company and its shareholders’ value. However, the volatility in the market has caused the Company’s assets (GPUs and datacenter) to decline in value. The Company no longer holds any Ethereum or other crypto tokens or crypto assets at this time and the company does not conduct any mining activities and does not have any plans to mine crypto tokens in the future.
The Company may be at a higher risk of litigation and other legal proceedings due to heightened regulatory scrutiny of the cryptocurrency industry, which could ultimately be resolved against the Company requiring future cash payments or charges, which could impair the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Although we previously engaged in the mining of cryptocurrency, and previously held cryptocurrency assets, the Company no longer holds any Ethereum or other crypto tokens or crypto assets at this time and the Company does not conduct any mining activities and does not have any plans to mine crypto tokens in the future. The cryptocurrency aspect of the Company’s former business could make it susceptible to various claims, both in litigation and binding arbitration proceedings, legal proceedings, and government investigations, due to the heightened regulatory scrutiny following the recent disruptions in the crypto asset markets. The Company believes that since cryptocurrency mining, and the digital asset industry generally, is a relatively new business sector, it is more likely subject to government investigation and regulatory determination, particularly following the recent cryptocurrency market participant bankruptcies described elsewhere herein. Any claims, regulatory proceedings or litigation that could arise in the course of the Company’s business could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its business or operations.
Risks Related to Restatement of Our Consolidated Financial Statements
We had to restate our previously issued consolidated financial statements, as previously disclosed, and as disclosed in the Amendments to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. We have identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2022. If we are unable to develop and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
On May 17, 2022, subsequent to the evaluation as of December 31, 2021, management, in agreement with the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, determined that the previously issued financial statements for the Affected Periods (as hereinafter defined) should no longer be relied upon and required restatement. We then filed Amendment No. 1 to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Amendment No. 1”) on May 23, 2022 to restate the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements and financial information as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as well as to provide restated interim financial information as of September 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months then ended (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 14, 2022 (the “Original Form 10-K”) and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”). On June 1, 2022, we filed Amendment No. 2 to our Form 10-K because Amendment No. 1 contained a typographical error on the date of the audit report of Friedman LLP (“Friedman”). Although Friedman’s audit report was dated April 14, 2022, except for the effects of the restatement discussed in Note 1A, Note 12, Note 13, and Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements, as to which the date is May 23, 2022, the copy of Friedman’s audit report that was included in Amendment No. 1 incorrectly included a date of April 13, 2022 (instead of April 14, 2022). Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K (“Amendment No. 2”) was filed to correct the typographical error regarding the date on Friedman’s audit report, such that the date of Friedman’s audit report is April 14, 2022, except for the effects of the restatement discussed in Note 1A, Note 12, Note 13, and Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements, as to which the date is May 23, 2022.
As discussed in Note 1A, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements,” of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2, the correction of certain errors, as discussed in Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2, from previously reported information for the year ended December 31, 2021, has resulted in an increase in net loss of $8.4 million, primarily as a result of a $6.3 million in expense related to the revaluation on the derivative conversion liability, an increase in interest expense of $0.9 million, and an increase in the loss contingency on debt default of $1.2 million.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 17, 2022 with the SEC, on May 17, 2022, the Company’s management determined that its prior conclusion that the “conversion feature” of the Company’s 12.5% senior secured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) qualified for equity classification and, therefore, qualified for the application of the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06 was incorrect. Management has determined that the conversion feature was a liability classified derivative under the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity from the inception requiring recognition at fair value for each reporting period.
The Company’s management, in agreement with the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, have determined that the previously issued financial statements for the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon due to this error and require restatement. Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 (i) reflect the changes discussed above for the Affected Periods, (ii) restates the Company’s consolidated financial statements as and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and (iii) provides restated unaudited financial information as of September 30, 2021, and for the three and nine months then ended. The error does not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2021, or June 30, 2021.
As a result of the factors described above, the Company has included in Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 the restated consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021:
● Total net loss - Restated to reflect the understatement of total other income (expense), and net loss by $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021
● Liabilities and accumulated deficit - Restated to reflect the understatement of liabilities and accumulated deficit by $8.4 million as of December 31, 2021
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reporting and prevent fraud. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weaknesses. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
Any failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could adversely impact on our ability to report our financial position and results from operations on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities. In either case, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Ineffective internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.
We can give no assurance that the measures we are taking and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weaknesses identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls, and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements.
We may face litigation and other risks as a result of the Restatement and material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
As a result of the Restatement and the identified material weaknesses, and other matters that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we face the potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the Restatement and/or the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. As of the date of this Registration Statement, we have no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute. However, we can provide no assurance that such litigation or dispute will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Risk Factors Relating to Our Common Stock
Trading on the OTC Markets is volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for you to resell your common stock.
Our common stock is quoted on the Pink Tier of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (“OTC Markets”). Trading in securities quoted on the OTC Markets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors, some of which may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Markets is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Markets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq Capital Market or a stock exchange like the NYSE American. These factors may result in your having difficulty reselling any shares in our common stock.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a limited public float.
The market price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and the market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile in the future. You may not be able to resell shares of our common stock following periods of volatility because of the market’s adverse reaction to volatility.
Other factors that could cause such volatility may include, among other things:
● actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
● the absence of securities analysts covering us and distributing research and recommendations about us;
● we may have a low trading volume for several reasons, including that a large portion of our stock is closely held;
● overall stock market fluctuations;
● announcements concerning our business or those of our competitors;
● actual or perceived limitations on our ability to raise capital when we require it, and to raise such capital on favorable terms;
● conditions or trends in the industry;
● litigation;
● changes in market valuations of other similar companies;
● future sales of common stock;
● departure of key personnel or failure to hire key personnel; and
● general market conditions.
Any of these factors could have a significant and adverse impact on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general has at times experienced extreme volatility and rapid decline that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.
Our common stock is currently a “penny stock” under SEC rules. It may be more difficult to resell securities classified as “penny stock.”
Our common stock is currently a “penny stock” under applicable SEC rules (generally defined as non-exchange traded stock with a per-share price below $5.00). If our common stock becomes listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, it will not be considered “penny stock,” however, if we are unable to maintain that listing and our common stock is no longer listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, unless we maintain a per-share price above $5.00, our common stock will become “penny stock.” These rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who qualify as “established customers” or “accredited investors.” For example, broker-dealers must determine the appropriateness for non-qualifying persons of investments in penny stocks. Broker-dealers must also provide, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, disclose the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, furnish monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, provide a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.
Legal remedies available to an investor in “penny stocks” may include the following:
● If a “penny stock” is sold to the investor in violation of the requirements listed above, or other federal or states securities laws, the investor may be able to cancel the purchase and receive a refund of the investment.
● If a “penny stock” is sold to the investor in a fraudulent manner, the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that committed the fraud for damages.
These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
Many brokerage firms will discourage or refrain from recommending investments in penny stocks. Most institutional investors will not invest in penny stocks. In addition, many individual investors will not invest in penny stocks due, among other reasons, to the increased financial risk generally associated with these investments.
For these reasons, penny stocks may have a limited market and, consequently, limited liquidity. We can give no assurance at what time, if ever, our common stock will not be classified as a “penny stock” in the future.
If the benefits of any proposed acquisition do not meet the expectations of investors, stockholders or financial analysts, the market price of our common stock may decline.
If the benefits of any proposed acquisition do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of our common stock prior to the closing of the proposed acquisition may decline. The market values of our common stock at the time of the proposed acquisition may vary significantly from their prices on the date the acquisition target was identified.
In addition, broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our common stock irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general has experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to us could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.
Changes in accounting principles and guidance, or their interpretation, could result in unfavorable accounting charges or effects, including changes to our previously filed financial statements, which could cause our stock price to decline.
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These principles are subject to interpretation by the SEC and various bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting principles and guidance. A change in these principles or guidance, or in their interpretations, may have a significant effect on our reported results and retroactively affect previously reported results.
Being a public company results in additional expenses, diverts management’s attention, and could also adversely affect our ability to attract and retain qualified directors.
As a public reporting company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. These requirements generate significant accounting, legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, or costly and may place significant strain on our personnel and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to establish the requisite disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant resources and management oversight are required.
As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could have an adverse and even material effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. These rules and regulations may also make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. If we are unable to obtain appropriate director and officer insurance, our ability to recruit and retain qualified officers and directors, especially those directors who may be deemed independent, could be adversely impacted.
We are an “emerging growth company” and our election to delay adoption of new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies may result in our financial statements not being comparable to those of some other public companies. As a result of this and other reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, our securities may be less attractive to investors.
As a public reporting company with less than $1,235,000,000 in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:
● are not required to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
● are not required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”);
● are not required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);
● are exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure;
● may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”); and
● are eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act.
We intend to take advantage of all these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under §107 of the JOBS Act.
Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions were already available to us due to the fact that we also qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under SEC rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation and report regarding management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or Chief Executive Officer pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.
Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1,235,000,000 in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1.0 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. Further, under current SEC rules we will continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company” for so long as we have a public float (i.e., the market value of common equity held by non-affiliates) of less than $250 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.
We cannot predict if investors will find our securities less attractive due to our reliance on these exemptions.
If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, the price of our securities may be adversely affected.
Our internal control over financial reporting has weaknesses and conditions that require correction or remediation. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we identified a material weakness in our assessment of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures. Our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the following material weaknesses:
1. The Company does not have a formal top-down risk assessment process or cyber risk assessment to identify significant process areas, underlying key controls, nor does the Company have a monitoring process in place to monitor internal control over financial reporting.
2. The Company did not properly design or maintain effective entity level monitoring controls over the financial close and reporting process. The Company’s controls surrounding the review of financial statements, vendor agreements, key reconciliations and accounting for complex transactions were not designed and did not operate at a level of precision that would prevent or detect a material misstatement.
3.
The Company did not design and implement appropriate user access controls to ensure segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user access to financially significant information systems, and schedules, specifically surrounding mining revenue and mining equipment.
4. The Company has not implemented formalized and documented detective compensating controls over significant process areas integral to financial reporting that mitigate insufficient segregation of duties.
5. The Company did not properly design or maintain effective controls over its service organizations and IT vendors. More specifically, the Company did not properly design or implement controls to ensure that data received from third parties is complete and accurate or have controls in place to review the applicable complementary user entity controls described in service organizations’ reports for their potential impact on the Company’s financial reporting.
Although management has implemented, and continues to implement, actions to remediate the underlying causes of the control deficiencies that gave rise the material weaknesses, we cannot provide any assurance that the remediation efforts will be successful or that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective as a result of these efforts. See “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Restatement of Our Consolidated Financial Statements.”
If we fail to comply with the rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act related to disclosure controls and procedures in the future, or, if we continue to have material weaknesses or other deficiencies in our internal control and accounting procedures and disclosure controls and procedures, our stock price could decline significantly and raising capital could be more difficult. If additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies are discovered or if we otherwise fail to address the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, our business may be harmed. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our securities could drop significantly.
We are required to comply with certain provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and if we fail to continue to comply, our business could be harmed, and the price of our securities could decline.
Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act require an annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting, and for certain issuers an attestation of this assessment by the issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are evolving and complex, and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We expect to incur significant expenses and to devote resources to Section 404 compliance on an ongoing basis. It is difficult for us to predict how long it will take or costly it will be to complete the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each year and to remediate any deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to complete the assessment and remediation process on a timely basis. In the event that our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer determines that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective as defined under Section 404, we cannot predict how regulators will react or how the market prices of our securities will be affected; however, we believe that there is a risk that investor confidence and the market value of our securities may be negatively affected.
Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.
From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months, subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months, subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information, and notice requirements. Of the approximately 2,484,426,501 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 12, 2023, approximately 1,933,270,220 shares are tradable without restriction. Given the limited trading of our common stock, resale of even a small number of shares of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock and have no plans to do so in the future.
Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. To date, we have paid no cash dividends on our shares of common stock, and we do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for the operations of our business. Therefore, any return investors in our common stock may have will be in the form of appreciation, if any, of the market value of their shares of common stock. See “Dividend Policy.”
We will indemnify and hold harmless our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law.
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify and hold harmless our officers and directors against claims arising from our activities to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law. If we were called upon to perform under our indemnification agreement, then the portion of our assets expended for such a purpose would reduce the amount otherwise available for our business.
The planned Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our common stock.
On June 15, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved to affect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, at a ratio of no less than 1-for-500 and no more than 1-for-1,000, with such ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. On September 22, 2022, the Company held its 2022 virtual annual meeting of stockholders, at which the Company’s stockholders voted in favor of, among other matters, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, at a ratio of no less than 1-for-500 and no more than 1-for-1,000, with such ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. On November 1, 2022, the Company’ Board of Directors approved an Articles of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to affect a 1 for 1,000 reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock. The current status of the Reverse Stock Split is that the Company has notified the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) of the Reverse Stock Split, which will not be effective until FINRA processes it, and at such time we’ll file the Articles of Amendment with the State of Nevada to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split. The liquidity of the shares in our common stock may be affected adversely by the planned Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares outstanding following the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the planned Reverse Stock Split may have increased the number of shareholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our common stock, creating the potential for such shareholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty affecting such sales.
Our common stock is now quoted on OTC Market’s Pink Tier as a result of failing to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement for the OTCQB.
Our common stock is now quoted on OTC Markets Group, Inc. (“OTC Markets”) Pink Tier under the symbol “SYSX,” as a result of failing to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement for the OTCQB. Our common stock was previously quoted on the OTCQB Tier under the symbol “SYSX.” In order to be in compliance with OTCQB Standards, among other things, a company must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $0.01 per share on at least one of the prior 30 consecutive calendar days. Further, pursuant to the OTCQB Standards, in the event that a company’s closing bid price falls below $0.001 at any time for five consecutive trading days, such company will be immediately removed from OTCQB. Effective November 25, 2022, the Company’s common stock was removed by OTC Markets from the OTCQB as a result of failing to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement for the OTCQB, and as of such date began being quoted on the OTC Market’s Pink Tier.

There is no material pending legal proceedings as defined by Item 103 of Regulation S-K, to which we are a party or of which any of our property is the subject, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business.
Sysorex, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Promissory Judgment Note dated as of August 15, 2018 (the “Note”), with Tech Data Corporation (“Tech Data”), pursuant to which the Company promised to pay the principal sum of $6,849,423.42 to Tech Data. The Note provides that interest shall accrue on the balance of the Note at the rate of 18% per annum. Due to miscommunication with Tech Data, the Company inadvertently failed to pay, when due, some of the installment payments in the aggregate principal amount of $3,341,801.80, as set forth in the Note and has defaulted under the Note.
On December 14, 2021, the Company became aware that a Confession of Judgment (the “Confession of Judgment”) had been entered against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara by Tech Data on September 24, 2021. The Confession of Judgement is entered for a total sum of $5,942,559.05, which is comprised of the principal sum of $3,341,801.80 and prejudgment interest in the sum of $2,600,757.25. Following a negotiation with Tech Data, the Company was able to reduce the Award by more than $4.2 million, and on January 13, 2022, the Company and Tech Data entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid $1,375,000 on January 14, 2022. The Company recognized a gain on settlement of $1.5 million. The Award was deemed satisfied in full. Among other things, Tech Data agreed to file an acknowledgment of full satisfaction of judgment attached as an exhibit to the Settlement Agreement, not take any further action against the Company in connection with or relating to the Judgment, and release the Company and its representatives from any and all claims, including the Judgment, which Tech Data may have against the Company based upon any transaction that occurred at any time before the date of the Settlement Agreement.
On June 3, 2022, the Company became aware that a Complaint had been entered against the Company in the United States District Court Southern District of New York by ProActive Capital Partners, L.P, a convertible debenture holder. The Complaint is entered for injunctive relief to honor is stock conversion, recover damages, and receive payments due under the Debenture agreement. The convertible debenture principal and interest of $0.2 million is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets - accrued liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2022. The notice of conversion to convert its convertible debt to shares of the Company’s stock will be honored.
There are no proceedings in which any of the directors, officers, or affiliates of the Company, or any registered or beneficial holder of more than 5% of the Company’s voting securities, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to that of the Company.

TTM Digital
TTM Digital is a digital asset technology company that previously operated specialized cryptocurrency mining processors and was previously focused on the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem. As of September 15, 2022, Ethereum switched from a Proof of Work model to Proof of Stake model and as a result, the Company is no longer mining Ethereum or any other cryptocurrency.
The Company made the decision to divest certain mining equipment and the data center of the TTM Digital reporting unit and commenced discussions with a third party to execute an asset sale in the spring of 2022. On March 24, 2022, the Company executed Heads of Terms (“Heads of Terms”) with Ostendo Technologies, Inc. (“Ostendo”). Pursuant to the Heads of Terms, the Company and Ostendo agreed to certain terms related to the Company’s sale of its Ethereum mining assets and certain associated real property (“Assets”) to Ostendo for Ostendo preferred stock. The Company agreed to make a non-refundable deposit of $1,600,000 (“Deposit”) to be credited toward the purchase of an additional 166,667 shares of Ostendo’s preferred stock. The Company has in good faith worked with Ostendo to ensure all closing terms and closing conditions were mutually agreed upon, however, the parties have not entered into definitive transaction agreements and accordingly, it was determined in November 2022 that the transaction will not proceed. In November 2022, the Company received a certificate, dated November 14, 2022, for the shares, and thereafter, the Company received confirmation that the Certificate of Designations for the preferred stock had been filed and accepted by the California Secretary of State on November 14, 2022.
Subsequent to the Ostendo transaction not proceeding, TTM Digital explored alternate long-term uses for its assets and concluded that mining other coins was not a feasible path forward due to the volatility in crypto prices, and repurposing its assets was not a viable path forward as it would require significant upfront investments to its datacenter infrastructure. TTM Digital is currently exploring sales opportunities for its GPU assets and datacenter located in Lockport, NY.
Known Trends or Uncertainties
SGS experiences variability in our net sales and operating results on a quarterly basis as a result of many factors. SGS experiences some seasonal trends in our sales of technology solutions to government and educational institutions. For example, the fiscal year-ends of U.S. Public Sector customers vary for those in the federal government space and those in the state and local government and educational institution (“SLED”) space. SGS generally sees an increase in our second quarter sales related to customers in the U.S. SLED sector and in our third quarter sales related to customers in the federal government space as these customers close out their budgets for their fiscal year (June 30th and December 31st, respectively). SGS may experience variability in our gross profit and gross profit margin as a result of changes in the various vendor programs we participate in and its effect on the amount of vendor consideration we receive from a particular vendor or their authorized distributor/wholesaler, may be impacted by a number of events outside of our control.
Basis of Presentation
In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
Discussion of Results of Operations of SGS for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021
SGS operates on the resale of technology products and associated services related to those products. These products are resold through several contracts with the federal government in SGS’ portfolio of contracts. SGS suppliers include wholesale distributors of major technology products, small niche product suppliers, services from specialized partners, and services from SGS’ own resources.
The lifecycle of an order includes: solicitation of a requirement form the customer, quotation or proposal in response to the solicitation, evaluation of quote or proposal by the customer, awarding an order to SGS based on favorable evaluation, customer order is then entered in as a sales order, the SGS system then issues purchase orders to suppliers, suppliers delivers the goods to the customer and performs any services necessary to complete order obligations, customer provides acceptance, and SGS issues an invoice to the customer. Once a customer accepts the invoice the dollar amount is guaranteed and backed by the U.S. Treasury. Post invoice obligation may include warranty, maintenance, and telephonic support either directly by SGS or through the OEM directly. From acceptance until the period of performance is completed (warranty, maintenance, and/or telephonic support), SGS is responsible for the operability of the delivered goods. Once the period of performance is completed, the customer will contact SGS to complete a contract closeout.
For the years ending 2022 and 2021, SGS reported $17.3 million and $8.3 million in revenues, respectively. This includes approximately 87% of revenues coming from the Company’s top two customers. SGS product and service costs for the years ending 2022 and 2021, were approximately $12.0 million and $6.9 million, respectively. SGS improved its gross margins from 17% in 2021 to 20% in 2022. The reported gross margin of 31% in 2022 if normalized, removal of approximately $2.0 million of settlement gains from prior years; the result would be a normalized gross margin of 20%.
SGS’ margins are affected by the diversity of our suppliers. Supplier diversity allows companies such as SGS to seek better costs through competition of multiple suppliers of the same product. Currently, SGS does not have the supplier diversity that is required to increase the margin. SGS is on a prepay basis with many suppliers and this requires SGS to finance cash advances to suppliers from our finance source, SouthStar credit facility.
For the years ended 2022 and 2021, SGS reported $1.0 million and $0.8 million in sales and marketing costs, respectively; $3.9 million and $3.2 million in general and administrative costs. The increase in general and administrative costs was mainly driven by increases in consulting and professional fees. In 2022, Sysorex incurred a $0.2 million impairment charge on its investment of its Ostendo preferred shares.
In addition, for the years ended 2022 and 2021, SGS reported $3.4 million and $3.8 million in interest expense. A revaluation conversion feature gain (loss) of $2.0 million and $(6.3) million was incurred. As noted below in Discussion of Results of Operations for TTM Digital, the Company realized a gain on the sale of digital assets of $1.7 million and $0.01 million, and an impairment of its digital assets of $2.7 million and $0.7 million. The Company performed an evaluation of its goodwill and as a result, recorded an impairment of $1.6 million.

* Included in discontinued operations
Discussion of Results of Operations of TTM Digital for the year ended December 31, 2022, and 2021
The activities for TTM Digital revenues and costs for the year ended December 31, 2022, represent discontinued operations.
Total Ethereum mined during the year ended December 31, 2022, was approximately 1,746 ETH vs approximately 4,783 ETH during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Ethereum’s transition to proof of stake (“POS”) took place on September 15, 2022, and has had a direct negative impact on the company’s ability to generate revenue. TTM Digital no longer holds any Ethereum or other crypto tokens or crypto assets currently, does not conduct any mining activities, and does not have any plans to mine crypto tokens in the future.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded approximately $4.1 million of impairment of fixed assets in its discontinued operations.
As noted above, the Closing of the TTM Digital Asset sale transaction did not occur. The investment in Ostendo shares of $1.6 million was subsequently sold on April 3, 2023, for approximately $0.2 million. The Company retained 30,000 shares of the investment in Ostendo. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $0.2 million.
On September 26, 2021, the Company acquired a 5% minority interest in Style Hunter, Inc. (“Hunt”). The Hunt issued 613,723 shares of its common stock: par value $0.0001 per share for $0.81470 per share for a total price of $0.5 million. The purchase of common stock on September 26, 2021, for a minority interest in Style Hunt’s common stock of $0.5 million was impaired and recorded in the statement of operations and disclosed in Note 5 Discontinued Operations as of December 31, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources as of December 31, 2022
Going Concern
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an approximate cash balance of $0.03 million, working capital deficit of approximately $18.1 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $61.4 million. In an effort to raise capital, on October 18, 2022, the Company completed a $.5 million private placement, and subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Company sold investments in certain preferred shares held for approximately $0.18 million to a related party. Despite these efforts to raise capital, the aforementioned factors continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
The Company does not believe that its capital resources as of December 31, 2022, its ability to settle a portion of existing convertible debt obligations through issuance of the Company’s shares, availability on the SouthStar facility to finance cash advances to suppliers, purchase orders and invoices, reauthorization of key vendors and credit limitation improvements will be sufficient to fund planned operations during the next twelve months. Additionally, the Company is in default on the aforementioned convertible debt, which was due to be repaid in July 2022, and is accruing related interest, late fees and other penalties. As a result of the above factors, the Company will need additional funds to fulfil its obligations. On September 22, 2022, the shareholders of the Company approved the authorization of 3 billion shares of common stock, however, all of the Company’s authorized shares have been issued or reserved since October 21, 2022, resulting in unfilled conversion notices and an inability to fill potential future conversion notices from convertible debt holders. In order for the Company to fulfil any further conversion obligations, the Company would need to receive approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) for a reverse stock-split and obtain shareholder approval for an increase in authorized shares. Existing unfilled conversion notices received in excess of available and authorized shares as of June 12, 2023, total 1,159,494,989. In order to satisfy all possible conversion obligations from existing debtholders as of December 31, 2022, the Company estimates a share deficit of approximately 43.4 billion shares based on the 3 billion currently authorized. Given these circumstances, it is improbable that the Company will be able to satisfactorily fulfil such obligations, even if the above steps are successfully taken.
The Company continues to explore a number of other possible solutions to its financing needs, including efforts to raise additional capital as needed, through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, as well as possible transactions with other companies, strategic partnerships, and other mechanisms for addressing our financial condition. The Company will utilize its current contracts that are not limited to a single branch of government or a specific agency as these contracts can provide the Company with an opportunity to attain new solutions and service type orders. The Company will also utilize SGS’s small business status to partner with prime contractors on larger orders. The Company currently utilizes SouthStar to finance purchase orders and it also can factor its receivables if needed to fund operations. After considering the plans to alleviate substantial doubt, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
Our capital resources and operating results, continuing and discontinued operations, as of and through December 31, 2022, consist of the:
1) An overall working capital deficit of $18.1 million,
2) Cash and cash equivalents of $0.03 million,
3) Net cash used in operating activities of $(7.5) million,
4) Net cash provided by investing activities of $6.5 million, and
5) Net cash provided by financing activities of $0.4 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We believe the following accounting estimates to be the most critical estimates we used in preparing our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Digital Assets
Digital assets (predominantly Ethereum) are included in current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The classification of digital assets as a current asset has been made after the Company’s consideration of the consistent daily trading volume on cryptocurrency exchange markets, there are no limitations or restrictions on Company’s ability to sell Ethereum, and the pattern of actual sales of Ethereum by the Company. Cryptocurrencies purchased are recorded at cost and cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy.
Digital assets held are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. ASC-350-35-19 requires an impairment at any time the fair value of the digital asset is below its carrying value. The carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the digital asset at the time its fair value is being measured. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted. The Company recorded a $2.7 million impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2022, and a $0.7 million impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2021.
The Company accounts for its gains or losses in accordance with the first in first out (FIFO) method of accounting. The Company recognized realized gains (losses) through the sale and disbursement of digital assets during the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 of $1.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. An impairment loss of $4.1 million and $3.3 million was recorded for long-lived assets in discontinued operations during the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Impairment of Intangible Assets, including Goodwill
The Company accounts for intangible assets under ASC 350-30, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. Goodwill represents the cost of a business acquisition in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized and is reviewed for impairment annually as of December 31, or more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the company performs a quantitative test to identify and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss. The Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered impaired, and that excess is recognized as a goodwill impairment loss.
Intangible assets with finite lives are comprised of customer contracts, and trademarks that are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. The carrying value of finite-lived assets and the remaining useful lives are reviewed at least annually to determine if circumstances exist which may indicate a potential impairment or revision to the amortization period.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized:
● Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
● Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
● Determination of the transaction price
● Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
● Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Hardware and Software Revenue Recognition
SGS is a primary resale channel for a large group of vendors and suppliers, including original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), software publishers and wholesale distributors.
The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company evaluates the following indicators amongst others when determining whether it is acting as a principal in the transaction and recording revenue on a gross basis: (i) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified product or service, (ii) the Company has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to the customer and (iii) the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. If the terms of a transaction do not indicate the Company is acting as a principal in the transaction, then the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction and the associated revenues are recognized on a net basis.
The Company recognizes revenue once control has passed to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control has passed to the customer: (i) the Company has a right to payment for the product or service, (ii) the customer has legal title to the product, (iii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product to the customer, (iv) the customer has the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the product and (v) the customer has accepted the product. The Company’s products can be delivered to customers in a variety of ways, including (i) as physical product shipped from the Company’s warehouse, (ii) via drop-shipment by the vendor or supplier or (iii) via electronic delivery of keys for software licenses. The Company’s shipping terms typically specify F.O.B. destination.
The Company leverages drop-shipment arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to its customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouse. The Company is the principal in the transaction and recognizes revenue for drop-shipment arrangements on a gross basis.
The Company may provide integration of products from multiple vendors as a solution it sells to the customer. In this arrangement, the Company provides a direct warranty to the customer with the Company’s own personnel as the customer requires a warranty on the solution and not individual vendor products. This type of warranty is sold integral to the overall solution quoted to the customer. The Company considers these service-type warranties to be performance obligations of the principal from the underlying products that make up a solution and therefore is acting as a principal in the transaction and records revenue on a gross basis at the point of sale.
License and Maintenance Services Revenue Recognition
SGS provides a customized design and configuration solution for its customers and in this capacity resells hardware, software and other IT equipment license and maintenance services in exchange for fixed fees. The Company selects the vendors and sells the products and services, including maintenance services, that best fit the customer’s needs. For sales of maintenance services and warranties, the customer obtains control at the point in time that the services to be provided by a third-party vendor are purchased by the customer and therefore the Company’s performance obligation to provide the overall systems solution is satisfied at that time. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 to 60 days of the receipt of a customer-approved invoice.
For resale of services, including maintenance services, warranties, and extended warranties, the Company is acting as an agent as the primary activity for those services are fulfilled by a third party. While the Company may facilitate and act as a first responder for these services, the third-party service providers perform the primary maintenance and warranty services for the customer. Therefore, the Company is not primarily responsible for performing these services and revenue is recorded on a net basis.
Professional Services Revenue Recognition
SGS’s professional services include fixed fee contracts. Fixed fees are paid monthly, in phases, or upon acceptance of deliverables. For fixed fee contracts, the Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous service. Because the Company’s contracts have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations. Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known. For the year ended December 31, 2022, SGS did not incur any such losses. These amounts are based on known and estimated factors. Revenues from time and material or firm fixed price long-term and short-term contracts are derived principally with various United States government agencies.
Mining Revenue
TTM Digital has entered into mining pools with the operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The Company is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed cryptocurrency award the mining pool operator receives (less transaction fees to the mining pool operator) for successfully adding a block to the blockchain. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm. Providing computing power in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s arrangement with mining pool operators The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is non-cash consideration. The transaction price of the Company’s share of the cryptocurrency award is measured at fair value on the date earned, which is not materially different than the fair value at the time the Company has earned the award from the mining pool. The consideration is all variable under the definition within ASC 606. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the Company successfully places a block and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.
The fair value of the digital asset award received is determined using the quoted price of the related digital asset at the time earned. The Company monitors the market and when an identical digital asset is bought and sold at a price below the Company’s carrying value, often an indicator that impairment is more likely than not, the Company will follow ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, and record an impairment if necessary.
Convertible Debt
The Company’s debt instruments contain a host liability, freestanding warrants, and an embedded conversion feature. The Company uses the guidance under FASB ASC Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) to determine if the embedded conversion feature must be bifurcated and separately accounted for as a derivative under ASC 815. It also determines whether any embedded conversion features requiring bifurcation and/or freestanding warrants qualify for any scope exceptions contained within ASC 815. Generally, contracts issued or held by a reporting entity that are both (i) indexed to their own stock, and (ii) classified in shareholders equity, would not be considered a derivative for the purposes of applying ASC 815. Any embedded conversion features and/or freestanding warrants that do not meet the scope exception noted above are classified as derivative liabilities, initially measured at fair value, and remeasured at fair value each reporting period with change in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Any embedded conversion features and/or freestanding warrants that meet the scope exception under ASC 815 are initially recorded at their relative fair value in paid-in-capital and are not remeasured at fair value in future periods.
The host debt instrument is initially recorded at its relative fair value in long-term debt. The host debt instrument is accounted for in accordance with guidance applicable to non-convertible debt under FASB ASC Topic 470 Debt (“ASC 470”) and is accreted to its face value over the term of the debt with accretion expense and periodic interest expense recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
Issuance costs are allocated to each instrument in the same proportion as the proceeds that are allocated to each instrument. Issuance costs allocated to the debt hosted instrument are netted against the proceeds allocated to the debt host. Issuance costs allocated to freestanding warrants classified in equity are recorded in paid-in-capital.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Sysorex, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sysorex, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022, the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as 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, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also audited adjustments to the 2021 financial statements to retroactively apply the effects of the reclassification of the balance of certain assets from their historical presentation to assets held for sale and certain operations from continuing to discontinued, as described in Note 3. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the Company’s 2021 financial statements other than with respect to the reclassification adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2021 financial statements as a whole.
Explanatory Paragraph - Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company is currently in default of their convertible debt and does not have sufficient authorized shares to settle all outstanding share conversion rights. The Company has a significant working capital deficiency, has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds as well as increase the authorized shares and effect a reverse stock split of shares to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated 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 audit. 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 the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter - Digital Asset Activities
In forming our opinion, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures and accounting policies included in the consolidated financial statements concerning among other things the risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s digital asset activities. The risks to the Company associated with its digital asset activities will be dependent on many factors outside of the Company’s control. Uncertainties related to the regulatory regimes governing blockchain technologies, digital assets, cryptocurrency exchanges and new international, federal, state and local regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the Company. The currently uncertain and immature nature of the digital asset markets, including clearing, settlement, custody and trading mechanisms, the dependency on information technology to sustain digital asset continuity, as well as valuation and volume volatility all subject digital assets to unique risks of theft, loss or other misappropriation. As more fully described in Note 1 and 5, the Company no longer holds digital assets and in connection with the Ethereum transition to proof of stake, the Company is no longer mining digital assets. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Sysorex, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sysorex, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as 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, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We were not engaged to audit, review or apply any procedures to retroactively apply the effects of the reclassification of the balances of certain assets from their historical presentation to assets held for sale and certain operations from continuing to discontinued, as described in Note 3, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about whether such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. Those adjustments were audited by Marcum LLP.
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
As discussed in Note 1A to the accompanying financial statements, the Company has restated its 2021 financial statements to correct an error.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a 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 a working capital deficiency, an accumulated deficit, and has incurred significant losses and cash outflows from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also 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 audit. 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 the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

Emphasis of Matter- Digital Asset Activities
In forming our opinion, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures and accounting policies included in the financial statements concerning among other things the risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s digital asset activities. The risks and rewards to be recognized by the Company associated with its digital asset activities will be dependent on many factors outside of the Company’s control. Uncertainties related to the regulatory regimes governing blockchain technologies, digital assets, cryptocurrency exchanges and new international, federal, state and local regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the Company. The currently uncertain and immature nature of the digital asset markets, including clearing, settlement, custody and trading mechanisms, the dependency on information technology to sustain digital asset continuity, as well as valuation and volume volatility all subject digital assets to unique risks of theft, loss or other misappropriation. Furthermore, these factors also contribute to the significant uncertainty with respect to the future viability and value of digital assets. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

SYSOREX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Nature and description of Business
Description of Business
Sysorex, Inc. through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sysorex Government Services, Inc. (“SGS”), provides information technology solutions primarily to the public sector. These solutions include cybersecurity, professional services, engineering support, IT consulting, enterprise level technology, networking, wireless, help desk and custom IT solutions.
In addition to SGS, the Company has another wholly owned subsidiary, TTM Digital Assets &Technologies, Inc. (“TTM Digital”). TTM Digital is a digital asset technology company that previously operated specialized cryptocurrency mining processors and was previously focused on the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem. As of September 15, 2022, Ethereum switched from a Proof of Work model to a Proof of Stake model and as a result, the Company is no longer mining Ethereum or any other cryptocurrency. TTM Digital no longer holds any Ethereum or other crypto tokens or crypto assets at this time and does not conduct any mining activities and does not have any plans to mine crypto tokens in the future. TTM Digital is currently exploring sales opportunities for its Graphics Processing Units (“GPU”) assets and datacenter located in Lockport, NY. The Company had previously been in discussions with a third party to sell its mining assets and certain associated real property. The Company is headquartered in Virginia.
Note 1A - Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
Background
Subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K, on May 17, 2022, the Company’s management determined that its prior conclusion that the “conversion feature” of the Company’s 12.5% senior secured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) qualified for equity classification and, therefore, qualified for the application of the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06 was incorrect. Management has determined that the conversion feature was a liability classified derivative under the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity from the inception requiring recognition at fair value for each reporting period.
The Company’s management and in agreement with the audit committee have determined that the previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the unaudited interim financial information for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 “the Affected period should no longer be relied upon due to this error and require restatement. The correction of this error is included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements in this Amended 10-K, the financial effect of this error from previously reported information for the year ended December 31, 2021, has resulted in an increase in net loss of $8.4 million, primarily as a result of a $6.3 million in fair value expense on the derivative conversion liability, interest expense increase of $0.9 million and an increase in the loss contingency on debt default of $1.2 million.

Note 2 - Going Concern
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an approximate cash balance of $0.03 million, working capital deficit of approximately $18.1 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $61.4 million. In an effort to raise capital, on October 18, 2022, the Company completed a $.5 million private placement, and subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Company sold investments in certain preferred shares held for approximately $0.18 million to a related party. Despite these efforts to raise capital, the aforementioned factors continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
The Company does not believe that its capital resources as of December 31, 2022, its ability to settle a portion of existing convertible debt obligations through issuance of the Company’s shares, availability on the SouthStar facility to finance cash advances to suppliers, purchase orders and invoices, reauthorization of key vendors and credit limitation improvements will be sufficient to fund planned operations during the next twelve months. Additionally, the Company is in default on the aforementioned convertible debt, which was due to be repaid in July 2022, and is accruing related interest, late fees and other penalties. As a result of the above factors, the Company will need additional funds to fulfil its obligations. On September 22, 2022, the shareholders of the Company approved the authorization of 3 billion shares of common stock, however, all of the Company’s authorized shares have been issued or reserved since October 21, 2022, resulting in unfilled conversion notices and an inability to fill potential future conversion notices from convertible debt holders. In order for the Company to fulfil any further conversion obligations, the Company would need to receive approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) for a reverse stock-split and obtain shareholder approval for an increase in authorized shares. Existing unfilled conversion notices received in excess of available and authorized shares as of June 12, 2023, total 1,159,494,989. In order to satisfy all possible conversion obligations from existing debtholders as of December 31, 2022, the Company estimates a share deficit of approximately 43.4 billion shares based on the 3 billion currently authorized. Given these circumstances, it is improbable that the Company will be able to satisfactorily fulfil such obligations, even if the above steps are successfully taken.
The Company continues to explore a number of other possible solutions to its financing needs, including efforts to raise additional capital as needed, through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, as well as possible transactions with other companies, strategic partnerships, and other mechanisms for addressing our financial condition. The Company will utilize its current contracts that are not limited to a single branch of government or a specific agency as these contracts can provide the Company with an opportunity to attain new solutions and service type orders. The Company will also utilize SGS’s small business status to partner with prime contractors on larger orders. The Company currently utilizes SouthStar to finance purchase orders and it also can factor its receivables if needed to fund operations.. After considering the plans to alleviate substantial doubt, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Note 3 - Basis of Presentation
TTM Digital Reverse Merger and Sysorex Recapitalization
On April 8, 2021, the Company, TTM Digital, and TTM Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sysorex (“MergerSub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the parties agreed that Sysorex would acquire TTM Digital by way of a reverse triangular merger, subject to certain closing conditions (the “Merger”). On April 14, 2021 (the “Effective Time”), the closing conditions delineated in the Merger Agreement were satisfied and the Merger closed. At the Effective Time, the MergerSub was merged with and into TTM Digital with TTM Digital surviving the Merger.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the shareholders of TTM Digital received a right to receive an aggregate of 124,218,268 shares of Sysorex common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Merger Shares”) in exchange for their shares of TTM Digital. Simultaneously, upon the issuance of the Merger Shares to the TTM Digital shareholders, Sysorex was issued all of the authorized capital of TTM Digital and TTM Digital became a wholly owned subsidiary of Sysorex (together, the “Combined Company”). The Merger resulted in a change of control, with the shareholders of TTM Digital receiving that number of Merger Shares equal to approximately eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Sysorex including the effect of the Sysorex Recapitalization. Due to TTM Digital shareholders acquiring a controlling interest in Sysorex after the merger, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes, with TTM Digital being the accounting acquirer and reporting entity. Therefore, the historical amounts presented prior to the Merger are those of TTM Digital. The Merger is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting applied to Sysorex as the accounting acquiree under the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).
Discontinued Operations
As presented in Form 10K/A, (Amendment No. 1) filed on May 23, 2022 and Form 10K/A (Amendment No. 2) filed June 1, 2022, the following reclassifications were made to the prior year; mining revenue of $4.4 million, mining costs of $0.4 million, depreciation of $2.5 million and impairment of fixed assets of $3.3 million from continuing operations were reclassified to discontinued operations. The net effect for the year ended December 31, 2021, was a $1.8 million change. The net loss from operations as reported in the form 10K/A was $5.2 million, resulting in a restated change of net income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, to $3.4 million as noted above. The Company reclassified in 2021, $4.0 million from mining equipment to assets held for sale, on the consolidated balance sheets.
In the fall of 2021, the Company made the decision to divest certain mining equipment and the data center of the TTM Digital reporting unit (“TTM Assets”) and commenced discussions with a third party to execute an asset sale. As a result of the decision to divest certain operating assets of the TTM Digital reporting unit, the Company has determined that the subject assets met the definition of assets held for sale as defined by ASC 205-20 - Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations. The Company determined the TTM Assets represented discontinued operations as it constituted a disposal of a significant component and a strategic shift that will have a material effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. As a result, the Company reclassified the balances and activities of the TTM Assets from their historical presentation to assets held for sale and assets and liabilities - discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets and to gain (loss) from discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting records of Sysorex, TTM Digital and SGS. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Up until November 2, 2021, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, TTM Digital had a 50% interest in Up North Hosting, LLC (“UNH”) which was accounted for as an equity method investment. On November 2, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining 50% interest in UNH making it a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates consist of:
● Revenue recognition
● Fair value of digital assets
● Fair value of the Company’s stock
● Expected useful lives and valuation of long-lived assets
● Fair value of derivative liabilities
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity from the date of purchase of years or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company’s cash is deposited with commercial banks in the United States and may exceed federally insured limits from time to time. The recorded carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value. The Company uses a digital asset exchange to custody and liquidate its digital assets. If demand for digital assets decline the Exchange could be negatively impacted. The Company’s digital assets are not insured under the third-party custody provider or exchanges.
Mining Equipment
Mining Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method regardless of the category of asset. In the fall of 2021, the Company made the decision to divest certain mining equipment and the data center of the TTM Digital reporting unit. As a result, the Company reports these assets as held for sale in discontinued operations and no longer depreciates these assets. Prior to this classification, The Company had determined that the useful life of graphics processing units (“GPUs”) is 3-years and remaining mining equipment (primarily chassis, power supply units, computer memory, motherboards, risers, and fans) is depreciated over the estimated useful life of 5-years.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.
The rate at which the Company generates digital assets and, therefore, consumes the economic benefits of its transaction verification servers are influenced by several factors including the following:
- The complexity of the transaction verification process which is driven by the algorithms contained within the Ethereum open-source software;
- The general availability of appropriate computer processing capacity on a global basis (commonly referred to in the industry as hashing capacity which is measured in Terahash units); and
- Technological obsolescence reflecting rapid development in the transaction verification server industry such that more recently developed hardware is more economically efficient to run in terms of digital assets generated as a function of operating costs, primarily power costs. i.e., the speed of hardware evolution in the industry is such that later hardware models generally have faster processing capacity combined with lower operating costs and on average a lower cost of purchase.
SYSOREX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company operates in an emerging industry for which limited data is available to make estimates of the useful economic lives and values of specialized equipment. Management will review this estimate quarterly and will revise such estimates as and when data becomes available.
To the extent that any of the assumptions underlying management’s estimate of useful life or values of its mining equipment are subject to revision in a future reporting period either because of changes in circumstances or through the availability of greater quantities of data then the estimated useful life or value could change and have a prospective impact on the carrying amounts of these assets.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including mining equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. The carrying amount is considered not recoverable if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group is less than the carrying amount of the asset group. If the carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, then the carrying amount is compared to the fair value and an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount. An impairment loss of $4.1 million and $3.3 million was recorded for long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021. As of September 15, 2022, Ethereum switched from a Proof of Work model to a Proof of Stake model, The Company is no longer mining Ethereum or any other cryptocurrency. TTM Digital no longer holds any Ethereum or other crypto tokens or crypto assets at this time and does not conduct any mining activities and does not have any plans to mine crypto tokens in the future. TTM Digital is currently exploring sales opportunities for its Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) assets and datacenter located in Lockport, NY.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized:
● Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
● Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
● Determination of the transaction price;
● Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
● Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Mining Revenue
TTM Digital has entered into a mining pool with the operator to provide computing power to the mining pool. The Company is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed cryptocurrency award the mining pool operator receives (less transaction fees to the mining pool operator) for successfully adding a block to the blockchain. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm. Providing computing power in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s arrangement with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is non-cash consideration. The transaction price of the Company’s share of the cryptocurrency award is measured at fair value on the date earned, which is not materially different than the fair value at the time the Company has earned the award from the mining pool. The consideration is all variable under the definition within ASC 606. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the Company successfully places a block and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.
The fair value of the digital asset award received is determined using the quoted price of the related digital asset at the time earned. The Company monitors the market and when an identical digital asset is bought and sold at a price below the Company’s carrying value, often an indicator that impairment is more likely than not, the Company will follow ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, and record an impairment if necessary.
Hardware and Software Revenue Recognition
SGS is a primary resale channel for a large group of vendors and suppliers, including original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), software publishers and wholesale distributors.
SYSOREX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company evaluates the following indicators amongst others when determining whether it is acting as a principal in the transaction and recording revenue on a gross basis: (i) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified product or service, (ii) the Company has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to the customer and (iii) the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. If the terms of a transaction do not indicate the Company is acting as a principal in the transaction, then the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction and the associated revenues are recognized on a net basis.
The Company recognizes revenue once control has passed to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control has passed to the customer: (i) the Company has a right to payment for the product or service, (ii) the customer has legal title to the product, (iii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product to the customer, (iv) the customer has the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the product and (v) the customer has accepted the product. The Company’s products can be delivered to customers in a variety of ways, including (i) as physical product shipped from the Company’s warehouse, (ii) via drop-shipment by the vendor or supplier or (iii) via electronic delivery of keys for software licenses. The Company’s shipping terms typically specify F.O.B. destination.
The Company leverages drop-shipment arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to its customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouse. The Company is the principal in the transaction and recognizes revenue for drop-shipment arrangements on a gross basis.
The Company may provide integration of products from multiple vendors as a solution it sells to the customer. In this arrangement, the Company provides a direct warranty to the customer with the Company’s own personnel as the customer requires a warranty on the solution and not individual vendor products. This type of warranty is sold integral to the overall solution quoted to the customer. The Company considers these service-type warranties to be performance obligations of the principal from the underlying products that make up a solution and therefore is acting as a principal in the transaction and records revenue on a gross basis over time.
License and Maintenance Services Revenue Recognition
SGS provides a customized design and configuration solution for its customers and in this capacity resells hardware, software and other IT equipment license and maintenance services in exchange for fixed fees. The Company selects the vendors and sells the products and services, including maintenance services, that best fit the customer’s needs. For sales of maintenance services and warranties, the customer obtains control at the point in time that the services to be provided by a third-party vendor are purchased by the customer and therefore the Company’s performance obligation to provide the overall systems solution is satisfied at that time. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 to 60 days of the receipt of a customer-approved invoice.
For resale of services, including maintenance services, warranties, and extended warranties, the Company is acting as an agent as the primary activity for those services are fulfilled by a third party. While the Company may facilitate and act as a first responder for these services, the third-party service providers perform the primary maintenance and warranty services for the customer. Therefore, the Company is not primarily responsible for performing these services and revenue is recorded on a net basis.
SYSOREX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SGS’s professional services include fixed fee contracts. Fixed fees are paid monthly, in phases, or upon acceptance of deliverables. For fixed fee contracts, the Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous service. Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known. For the year ended December 31, 2022, SGS did not incur any such losses. These amounts are based on known and estimated factors. Revenues from time and material or firm fixed price long-term and short-term contracts are derived principally with various United States government agencies.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by customers. The Company records receivables when revenue is recognized prior to payment and there is an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied. The following table details the contract balances presented (in thousands):
Deferred Revenue:
Balance as
of 12/31/2021 Additions Revenue
Amortization Deletions Balance as
of 12/31/2022
Customer A $ 246 $ 639 $ 476 $ -
$ 409
Customer B -

$ 932 $ 697 $ 737 $ 39 $ 931
Accounts Receivable, Net
Account receivables are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts receivables are not overstated due to un-collectability. Bad debt reserves are maintained for various customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings, or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.05 million as of December 31, 2022, and $0.05 million as of December 31, 2021.
Digital Assets
Digital assets (predominantly Ethereum) are included in current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The classification of digital assets as a current asset has been made after the Company’s consideration of the consistent daily trading volume on cryptocurrency exchange markets, there are no limitations or restrictions on Company’s ability to sell Ethereum, and the pattern of actual sales of Ethereum by the Company. Digital assets purchased are recorded at cost and cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy disclosed above.
Digital assets held are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. ASC-350-35-19 requires an impairment at any time the fair value of the digital asset is below its carrying value. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the digital asset at the time its fair value is being measured. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted. The Company recorded a $2.7 million and $0.7 million impairment charge during the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Digital assets awarded to the Company through its mining activities are included within operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows and it’s mining activities are disclosed in Note 5-Discontinued Operations. The sales of digital assets are included within investing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company accounts for its gains or losses in accordance with the first in first out (FIFO) method of accounting. The Company recognized realized gains (losses) through the sale and disbursement of digital assets during the year ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 of $1.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
SYSOREX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for intangible assets under ASC 350-30, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. Goodwill represents the cost of a business acquisition in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized and is reviewed for impairment annually as of December 31, or more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the company performs a quantitative test to identify and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss. The Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered impaired, and that excess is recognized as a goodwill impairment loss. As of December 31, 2022, the Company determined the carrying amount of its goodwill exceeded the fair value. The Company recorded a $1.6 million goodwill impairment loss.
Intangible assets with finite lives are comprised of customer contracts, and trademarks that are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. The carrying value of finite-lived assets and the remaining useful lives are reviewed at least annually to determine if circumstances exist which may indicate a potential impairment or revision to the amortization period.
Investments in Equity
The Company’s investment in Ostendo include an investment in an equity instruments, accounted for under ASC 321 Investments - Equity Securities, where the Company (1) holds less than 20% ownership in the entity, and (2) does not exercise significant influence. These are recorded at cost and adjusted for observable transactions for same or similar investments of the same issuer (referred to as the measurement alternative) or impairment.
Fair Value
The Company follows the accounting guidance under FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements, for its fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Under this accounting guidance, fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and
Level 3 - assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.
Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.
Certain nonfinancial assets such as property and equipment, land and intangible assets are subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements if they are deemed to be impaired. The impairment models used for nonfinancial assets depend on the type of asset.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges related to assets measured on a non-recurring basis of $4.1 million for graphics processing units in Note 5 - Discontinued Operations and $2.7 million for digital assets in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company utilized a market approach as of December 31, 2022, to determine fair value.
The Company evaluated its equity investment in Ostendo of $1.6 million and its Style Hunter investment and recorded an impairment of approximately $0.2 million, reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and $0.5 million, reported in Note 5 - Discontinued Operations, respectively The Company utilized inputs of market data and trends of peer group companies to determine the fair value of the equity investment.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accrued liabilities, and accounts payable, are of approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Held for Sale Classification
The Company classifies a business as held for sale in the period in which management commits to a plan to sell the business, the business is available for immediate sale in its present condition, an active program to complete the plan to sell the business is initiated, the sale of the business within one year is probable and the business is being marketed at a reasonable price in relation to its fair value.
SYSOREX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Newly acquired businesses that meet the held-for-sale classification criteria upon acquisition are reported as discontinued operations. Upon a business’ classification as held for sale, net assets are measured for impairment. Goodwill impairment is measured in accordance with the method described in the accounting policy. An impairment loss is recorded for long-lived assets held for sale when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value less cost to sell. Other assets and liabilities are generally measured for impairment by comparing their carrying values to their respective fair values. A long-lived asset shall not be depreciated or amortized while it is classified as held for sale.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards to employees and directors in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all stock-based compensation to employees, including grants of employee stock options, and restricted stock, to be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on their grant date fair values. The fair value of stock options is estimated as of the date of grant using the Monte Carlo Simulation option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock is calculated as the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of the date of the grant. The expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period
Pre-funded Warrants / Rights to Shares
The Company has certain forward sale contracts for equity issuances (“Forward Contracts”) where the Holder has provided all funding towards the equity issuance and additional consideration is not required for equity issuance. The Forward Contracts are referred to as Pre-funded Warrants or Rights to Shares. Shares will be issued upon the contractual terms of the Forward Contracts. The Company includes the proceeds of the Forward Contracts in equity in Additional paid-in-capital. In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the underlying shares to be issued are included in the number of outstanding shares used for Basic earnings per share.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is required to the extent any deferred tax assets may not be realizable.
ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, defines uncertainty in income taxes and the evaluation of a tax position as a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely than-not threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2022, and 2021.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants, or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company evaluates whether the amount of common stock on a as converted basis is in excess of its authorized share total which, if in excess, would result in derivative accounting treatment. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to a liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Convertible Debt
The Company’s debt instruments contain a host liability, freestanding warrants, and an embedded conversion feature. The Company uses the guidance under FASB ASC Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) to determine if the embedded conversion feature must be bifurcated and separately accounted for as a derivative under ASC 815. It also determines whether any embedded conversion features requiring bifurcation and/or freestanding warrants qualify for any scope exceptions contained within ASC 815. Generally, contracts issued or held by a reporting entity that are both (i) indexed to its own stock, and (ii) classified in shareholders equity, would not be considered a derivative for the purposes of applying ASC 815. Any embedded conversion features and/or freestanding warrants that do not meet the scope exception noted above are classified as derivative liabilities, initially measured at fair value, and remeasured at fair value each reporting period with change in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Any embedded conversion features and/or freestanding warrants that meet the scope exception under ASC 815 are initially recorded at their relative fair value in paid-in-capital and are not remeasured at fair value in future periods.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The host debt instrument is initially recorded at its relative fair value in long-term debt. The host debt instrument is accounted for in accordance with guidance applicable to non-convertible debt under FASB ASC Topic 470 Debt (“ASC 470”) and is accreted to its face value over the term of the debt with accretion expense and periodic interest expense recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
Issuance costs are allocated to each instrument in the same proportion as the proceeds that are allocated to each instrument. Issuance costs allocated to the debt hosted instrument are netted against the proceeds allocated to the debt host. Issuance costs allocated to freestanding warrants classified in equity are recorded in paid-in-capital.
Leases
The right of use asset (“ROU”) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet represents a lessee’s right to use an asset over the life of a lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, plus any lease payments made to the lessor before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, minus any lease incentives received. The amortization period for the right of use asset is from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term or the end of the useful life of the asset. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected to exclude all short-term leases (i.e., leases with a term of 12 months or less) from recognition on the balance sheet.
The Company’s lease liabilities are determined by calculating the present value of all future lease payments using the rate implicit in the lease if it can be readily determined, or the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the inception of the lease to determine the present value of future lease payments as the rate implicit in its leases could not be readily determined.
Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus potentially dilutive common shares. Convertible debt, restricted stock, stock options and warrants are excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation when their impact is antidilutive. The Company reported a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and as a result, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered antidilutive for this period.
The Company includes potentially issuable shares in the Weighted-average common shares - basic that include warrants and other agreements that are exercisable for little or no consideration without substantive contingencies and others once any contingencies relative to the issuance of the shares is resolved.
Computations of basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were as follows for the periods reported:
December 31,
Weighted-average common shares outstanding 840,858,474 128,603,982
Weighted-average potential common shares considered outstanding 3,000,000 10,457,102

Recent Accounting Standards
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its consolidated financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s consolidated financial statements properly reflect the change.
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which was codified with its subsequent amendments as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASC 326”). ASC 326 seeks to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables, and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendments require an entity to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in other GAAP with a methodology that reflects current expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The updated guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), (“ASU 2021-04”). This ASU reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This ASU provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic. It specifically addresses: (1) how an entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; (2) how an entity should measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; and (3) how an entity should recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange. This ASU will be effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 on January 1, 2022, did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts reported on our Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2) have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. The Company has retroactively restated its assets reported as discontinued operations as 100% held for sale. Costs associated with the TTM Digital reporting unit were reclassified from the consolidated statement of operations to discontinued operations.
Emerging Growth Company
Sysorex is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. As such, Sysorex is eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that apply to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company may take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards, meaning that Sysorex, as an emerging growth company, can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. Sysorex has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period, and therefore our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

Note 5 - Discontinued Operations
In the fall of 2021, the Company made the decision to divest certain mining equipment and the data center of the TTM Digital reporting unit and commenced discussions with a third party to execute an asset sale in the spring of 2022. On March 24, 2022, the Company executed Heads of Terms (“Heads of Terms”) with Ostendo Technologies, Inc. (“Ostendo”). Pursuant to the Heads of Terms, the Company and Ostendo agreed to certain terms related to the Company’s sale of its Ethereum mining assets and certain associated real property (“Assets”) to Ostendo for Ostendo preferred stock. The Company agreed to make a non-refundable deposit of $1,600,000 (“Deposit”) to be credited toward the purchase of an additional 166,667 shares of Ostendo’s preferred stock. The Company has in good faith worked with Ostendo to ensure all closing terms and closing conditions were mutually agreed upon, however, the parties have not entered into definitive transaction agreements and accordingly, it was determined in November 2022 that the transaction will not proceed. In November 2022, the Company received a certificate, dated November 14, 2022, for the shares, and thereafter, the Company received confirmation that the Certificate of Designations for the preferred stock had been filed and accepted by the California Secretary of State on November 14, 2022.
Subsequent to the Ostendo transaction not proceeding, TTM Digital explored alternate long-term uses for its assets and concluded that mining other coins was not a feasible path forward due to the volatility in crypto prices, and repurposing its assets was not a viable path forward as it would require significant upfront investments to its datacenter infrastructure. TTM Digital is currently exploring sales opportunities for its GPU assets and datacenter located in Lockport, NY.
As a result of the decision to divest certain operating assets of the TTM Digital reporting unit, the Company has determined that subject assets met the definition of assets held for sale as defined by ASC 205-20 - Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations. The Company determined the TTM Assets represented discontinued operations as it constituted a disposal of a significant component and a strategic shift that will have a material effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. As a result, the Company reclassified the balances and activities of the TTM Assets from their historical presentation to assets held for sale and assets and liabilities - discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets and to loss from discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented.
The carrying value of the TTM Digital asset disposal group was $4.7 million as of December 31, 2022, and the Company recorded approximately $4.1 million of impairment of fixed assets in its discontinued operations.

Up North Business Combination / Bitworks Asset Acquisition
On November 2, 2021, the Company through a wholly owned subsidiary of TTM Digital executed a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (“Up North Agreement”) with BWP Holdings, LLC (“BWP”) whereby the Company acquired the remaining 50.0% membership interest (“Transferred Membership Interest”) in Up North Hosting LLC (“Up North”) that it did not already own to bring its ownership in Up North to 100.0% (“UNH Acquisition”). In addition to the Transferred membership Interest the Company acquired certain data mining equipment BWP (“Bitworks Equipment” and collectively the “Acquisition”) that was resident in the Up North data center facility. The BWP transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. Total transaction consideration paid for the acquired interests of Up North and the Bitworks Equipment were $1.0 million and the issuance of 1.0 million shares of restricted common stock, $0.00001 par value of the Company.
The total transaction consideration paid for the Acquisition was valued at $1.4 million. The transaction consideration was allocated to the UNH Acquisition and the Bitworks Equipment in the amounts of $705,900 and $694,100, respectively. The UNH Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations. In accounting for the UNH Acquisition the purchase consideration consisted of the fair value of the Up North membership interest previously owned by the Company and accounted for as an equity method investment of $631,500 and the transaction consideration allocated of $705,900 and reduced by the effective settlement of intercompany transactions of $104,285 for net purchase consideration of $1,233,115. The previous membership interest in Up North had a carrying value of $649,462 resulting in the recognition of a loss on the conversion of the equity method investment of $17,962.
Up North’s primary asset consists of a data center facility located in New York used for the hosting of cryptocurrency data mining operations. The value of the data center facility building, and improvements installed for the data center operations are approximately $1.1 million. The data center facility is located in an industrial redevelopment area which has a property tax abatement and pays certain fees in lieu of property taxes under an agreement with the Industrial Development Agency. Proforma financial information was not required as the acquisition was deemed not to have a material impact. All assets associated with this acquisition have been classified as held for sale, and any income or loss has been reported as discontinued operations.

Note 7 - Credit Risk and Concentrations
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, consequently, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.
The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from cash.
The following table sets forth the percentages of sales derived by SGS from those customers that accounted for at least 10% of sales for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 (in thousands of dollars):

Customer A 4,388 26 % 4,826 44 %
Customer B 10,421 61 % 2,946 27 %
As of December 31, 2022, Customer A and Customer B represented approximately 61% and 30% of total accounts receivable, respectively.
As of December 31, 2021, Customer A represented approximately 72% of total accounts receivable. One other customer represented approximately 11% of total accounts receivable.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, three vendors represented approximately 41%, 35%, and 12% of total purchases. Purchases from these vendors during the year ended December 31, 2022, were $9.5 million, $8.1 million, and $2.9 million respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, three vendors represented approximately 36%, 25%, and 25% of total purchases. Purchases from these vendors during the year ended December 31, 2021, were $3.8 million, $2.6 million, and $2.6 million respectively.
Geographic and Technology Concentration
The Company had geographic diversity between April 1, 2021, and June 30, 2022, using a colocation datacenter in North Carolina. After June 30, 2022, the Company had consolidated its mining operations exclusively in New York.
Further, the Company had concentrated exposure to the Ethereum blockchain infrastructure through its mining operations during the periods presented. On September 15, 2022, the Ethereum blockchain transitioned to proof-of-stake which adversely affected our business and our ability to generate revenues. The Company is no longer able to mine Ethereum. TTM Digital assets operations are classified as discontinued operations.

Convertible Debentures & Warrants
On July 7, 2021, the Company consummated the initial closing of a private placement offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Securities Purchase Agreement for up to $15.2 million in principal amount (“Original Principal Value”) Convertible Debentures. To manage the administration of the Offering the Company entered into a placement agency agreement with Joseph Gunner & Co. LLC, a U.S. registered broker-dealer (“Placement Agent”). At the initial closing, the Company sold the purchasers (i) 12.5% Original Issue Discount Convertible Debentures (“Debentures”) in an aggregate principal amount of $9,990,000 and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 3.5 million shares of common stock of the Company. The Company received total gross proceeds of $8.9 million taking into account the 12.5% discount before deducting placement agent fees and expenses of approximately $0.9 million. The convertible debt is collateralized by the assets of the Company. The Debentures matured on July 7, 2022, subject to a three-month extension upon mutual agreement of the Company and the holder, as a result, the 2021 convertible debentures are in default.
On August 13, 2021, the company consummated the second closing of the offering pursuant to the same terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated July 7, 2021. At the second closing, the Company sold the purchasers (i) 12.5% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $3.4 million and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 1,862,279 shares of common stock of the Company. The Company received a total of $3.5 million in gross proceeds following the second closing taking into account the 12 % discount before deducting placement agent fees and expenses of approximately $0.3 million. The Debentures matured on August 13, 2022, subject to a three-month extension upon mutual agreement of the Company and the holder, as a result, the 2021 convertible debentures are in default.
In conjunction with the Convertible Debentures, the Company entered into a Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) providing investors the right to purchase common stock of Sysorex. The exercise price will be either 1) the Qualified Offering Price, in the event of a Qualified Offering or 2) in the event of no Qualified Offering, the lower of a) $18.00 and b) an amount equal to 80% of the average of VWAP (as defined therein) for the common stock. The term of the warrant is five years. The warrants issued in connection with the debt were equity classified at issuance and were allocated a value of approximately $896,000 on a relative fair value basis.
The Company recorded the debt net of the 12.5% discount, of which totaled $1.5 million, the placement agent fees and expenses of $1.3 million and the debt discounts attributed to the fair value of the warrants and conversion option derivative liability of approximately $0.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The Company expensed the entire debt discount and issuance costs as a result of the debenture default, as disclosed below.
Under the conversion terms of the Debentures, the Debenture is convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder at any time until the Debenture is no longer outstanding. The Holder executes a conversion by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion specifying the principal amount to be converted and the date on which the conversion is to be executed. The Conversion Price is set at the lower of (i) $18.00 and (ii) 80% of the average of the VWAP during the 5 Trading Day period immediately prior to the applicable Conversion Date. The number of Conversion Shares to be issued is determined by dividing the outstanding principal amount of the debenture to be converted by the Conversion Price. The Debentures are subject to mandatory conversion (“Mandatory Conversion”) in the event the Company closes a registered public offering of its Common Stock and receives gross proceeds of not less than $40 million and at the completion of which the Company’s securities are traded on a national exchange (“Qualified Offering”). The Company determined that the conversion feature associated with the convertible debentures should be bifurcated and treated as a separate derivative liability. An initial fair value of $2.1 million was assigned to the conversion option, The conversion option is marked to market at the end of each reporting period. The Company recorded a revaluation gain (loss) of approximately $2.0 million and ($6.3) million for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, for the change in the fair value of the conversion option. As of December 31, 2022, the derivative liability associated with the conversion option was $3.5 million.
Convertible Debenture Conversion
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the convertible debenture holders converted approximately $6.2 million of convertible debt into approximately 1.8 billion shares. There were no conversions of convertible debt for the year ended December 31, 2021. As a result of the conversions, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $0.2 million and settled approximately $2.9 million of the derivative liability associated with the conversion option for the year ended December 31, 2022.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Debenture Default
The Debentures provide that any monetary judgment filed against the Company for more than $50,000, and if such judgment remains unvacated for a period of 45 calendar days shall constitute an event of default. The debentures also provide that nonpayment of debt constitutes an event of default. The Company defaulted on its interest payment. On December 14, 2021, the Company became aware that a Confession of Judgment (the “Confession of Judgment”) had been entered against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara by Tech Data on September 24, 2021. The Confession of Judgement is entered for a total sum of $5.9 million which is comprised of the principal sum of $3.3 million and prejudgment interest in the sum of $2.6 million. As a result, the Confession of Judgment was deemed to be an event of default under the Debentures although the Company only became aware of the Confession of Judgment on December 14, 2021.
On January 7, 2022, the Company received a notice of default (the “Default Notice”) from the Placement Agent stating that the Company defaulted under the Purchase Agreement as a result of: (i) the Company failing to disclose certain material indebtedness of the Company outstanding as of the date of the Purchase Agreement; and (ii) the filing of a judgment relating to such material indebtedness. Due to such events of default, (i) the Debentures are now deemed to have begun bearing interest at the default interest rate of 18% per annum from the date of the issuance of the Debentures; and (ii) the holders of the Debentures are entitled to receive in satisfaction of the amounts owing under the Debentures an amount equal to 130% of the Original Principal Value of the Debentures (“Default Principal Increase”), in accordance with the terms of the Debentures. In addition, as a result of the events of default, the exercise price for the Warrant is the lower of: (A) $18.00 and (B) an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the average of volume-weighted average price for the common stock of the Company over the five (5) trading days preceding the date of the delivery of the applicable exercise notice or (C) the qualified offering price as defined in the Purchase Agreement.
As a result of the Default Notice, the Company has recorded for the year ended December 31, 2021, a loss of approximately $7.8 million on the Consolidated Statement of Operations on the line captioned Loss contingency on debt default (“Contingent Loss”). The Contingent Loss consists of the unamortized debt issuance costs and original interest discount of approximately $3.3 million and the Default Principal increase of approximately $4.2 million, and approximately $0.3 of debt and issuance costs incurred.
The Company recognized approximately $3.4 million of interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022. Included in Convertible debt is $3.1 million of interest payable on December 31, 2022, to the Convertible Debenture Holders.
Non-Recourse Factoring and Security Agreement
Effective as June 19, 2020, prior to the merger, the Company and SouthStar Financial, LLC (“SouthStar”) entered into a Non-Recourse Factoring and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which SouthStar may purchase receivables from the Company (the “Purchased Receivables”) for a price not to exceed 85% of the face value of the Purchased Receivables or a lesser percentage agreed upon between the Company and SouthStar. In consideration of SouthStar’s purchase of the Purchased Receivables, the Company will pay to SouthStar an amount equal to 0.8% of the face amount of the Purchased Receivables for the first 10-day period after payment for the Purchased Receivables is transmitted to SouthStar plus 0.9% for each additional 10-day period or part thereof, calculated from the date of purchase until payments received by SouthStar in collected funds on the Purchased Receivables equals the purchase price of the Purchased Receivables plus all charges due SouthStar from the Company at the time. An additional 1.0% per 10-day period will be charged for invoices exceeding 60 days from invoice date. The Company utilizes the security agreement to provide assurance of payment to the supplier. The Company currently utilizes SouthStar to finance its purchase orders and it also can factor its receivables if needed to fund operations. The Company, SouthStar and the Distributor/vendor enter a triparty agreement whereby SouthStar will pay the vendor under net 30-day terms the purchase order amount. As of December 31, 2022, the Company financed $0.9 million of purchase orders which is recorded in the consolidated balance sheet accrued liabilities.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any of its receivables financed.

The conversion feature of the convertible Debentures was separately accounted for at fair value as a derivative liability under guidance in ASC 815 that is remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. The Company uses a probability weighted expected return model (“PWERM”) valuation technique to measure the fair value of the conversion feature with any changes in the fair value of the conversion feature liability recorded in earnings. Significant inputs to the model include estimated time to conversion events, estimated interest converted at the event, the implied yield, the discount rate for the conversion, and the probability of the conversion events. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $2.0 million for the change in fair value of debt conversion feature.
The Company evaluated its equity investment in Ostendo of $1.6 million and recorded an impairment of approximately $0.2 million. The Company utilized inputs of market data and trends of peer group companies to determine the fair value of the equity investment.
As discussed in Note 11 - Equity below, the Company exceeded its authorized share limit with respect to potentially issuable shares under the equity contracts described with the Share Derivative Liabilities section. The Company estimates the fair value of the Common stock derivative liability based on the fair value of the potentially issuable shares for the warrants, stock options and RSUs vested but unissued. This liability excludes the fair value of the potentially convertible shares for the convertible Debentures which are accounted for through the carrying value of the debt and the separate conversion feature derivative liability.
The Company recorded the common stock derivative liability at fair value as of December 31, 2022, through a transfer from equity to the common stock derivative liability. Changes in the fair value of the liability in future periods will be included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

Settlement Agreements
On September 5, 2017, prior to the merger and as a result of a spinoff from Sysorex’s previous parent, a computer hardware supplier threatened legal action against the Company and demanded approximately $1.8 million for payment of unpaid invoices. On or about January 29, 2018, the parties executed a settlement agreement resolving the matter. No court action was filed. Subsequently thereafter, the Company defaulted under the terms of the agreement. The liability of approximately $0.7 million has been accrued and includes interest $0.2 million calculated based on a default rate of 8%, which is included as a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2022, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On August 10, 2018, the Company and vendor entered into a settlement agreement and the Company is repaying the debt in monthly installments. Subsequently thereafter, the Company defaulted under the terms of the agreement. The liability of approximately $0.2 million has been accrued and includes interest $0.1 million calculated based on a default rate of 6% and is included as a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2022, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Litigation
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements.
If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows. See Contractual Commitments above, for disclosure of the settlement agreement.

Prior to the merger (as discussed in Note 1), the Company was a Partnership for US Income Tax purposes and therefore had no provision for income tax as of December 31, 2020. Subsequent to the merger the entity became a taxable entity.
The Company had approximately $32.1 million and $15.2 million of U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers available to offset future taxable income at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company had approximately $19.3 million and $13.2 million of state NOL carryovers available to offset future taxable income at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The U.S. federal NOL’s generated in 2022 do not expire and have an indefinite life. State NOLs begin to expire at various dates beginning in 2038.
The future utilization of federal net operating loss carryforwards generated after 2017 is limited to 80% of taxable income. An additional limitation applies to the use of federal net operating loss and credit carryforwards, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that is applicable if the Company experiences an “ownership change.” The Company completed a 382 study and determined that there was a change in ownership on April 14, 2021, which limits their NOL and Section 163(j) carryforwards. The resulting Section 382 limitations are not expected to materially impact the Company’s ability to utilize carryforwards as NOLs and 163(j) should be available for utilization before expiration assuming sufficient future taxable income. Future changes in the ownership of the Company could further limit the Company’s ability to utilize its NOLs and credits.
SYSOREX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is “more likely than not”, that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible.
ASC 740, “Income Taxes” requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is “more likely than not” that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. After consideration of all the information available, management believes that uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of its deferred tax assets and has, therefore, established a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the net change in valuation allowance was $2.6 million.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to file federal and state income tax returns. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits is to record such interest and penalties as interest expense and as a component of general and administrative expense, respectively. There were no amounts accrued for interest or penalties for the year ended December 31, 2022. Management does not expect any material changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.
The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions, and, in the normal course of business, its tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future assessments by these taxing authorities. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities beginning with the year ended December 31, 2018. Currently, the Company is not subject to any examinations.
Note 16 - OTC Status
The Company announced, effective November 25, 2022, its common shares are quoted on OTC Market’s Pink current information tier, in lieu of the OTCQB, due to the minimum bid price requirement for the OTCQB. The Company continues to trade its shares in the OTC Market, Pink Tier.
Note 17 - Subsequent Events
Equity, Private Placement Agreement
As discussed in Note 11 - Equity, Private Placement Agreement, on October 18, 2022, the Company sold to investors an aggregate of 500 million shares of common stock along with warrants 1 and 2 to each acquire an additional 500 million shares of common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 90 days of October 18, 2022 (the “Registration Deadline”). If such registration statement has not become effective by the Registration Deadline, the Company agreed to issue each investor a number of additional shares of common stock equal to 10% of the purchased shares acquired by each investor and a third warrant equal to the number of additional shares. The Company was unable to have the registration statement become effective by January 16, 2023, 90 days past October 18, 2022. As a result, the additional shares and warrant 3 will be issuable for each 30-day period, or portion thereof, that the registrable securities have not become effective. As of May 31, 2023, the Company is obligated to issue an additional 271 million shares of common stock and warrant 3 to purchase an additional 271 million shares of common stock.
Stock Purchase Agreement
On April 3, 2023, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Omniverse LLC (“Omniverse”), whereby the Company agreed to sell to Omniverse 136,667 shares of Series C-7b Preferred Stock of Ostendo Technologies, Inc. The Agreement requires Omniverse to pay the Company a purchase price consisting of $182,000 and other valuable consideration in the form of consulting services of approximately $1.0 million. The Company retained 30,000 shares of the investment in Ostendo. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has recorded $1.4 million in the Consolidated Balance sheets as equity investment in Ostendo.
Furnishing of Information: Public Information
As required under the Securities Purchase Agreement, disclosed in Note 8 Short Term debt, with the convertible debenture holders thereunder, the Company is required to timely file its Annual Report, Form 10K and Quarterly Report Form 10Q under the Securities and Exchange Act and in order to satisfy the provisions of Rule 144(c). As of March 31, 2023, the Company was unable to meet its filing requirements deadlines, therefore, the Company has incurred partial liquidated damages of approximately $ 0.6 million. Damages will continue to accrue until the date on which the public information requirements of Rule 144(c) have been satisfied.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information 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. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of December 31, 2022, the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15e and 15d-15(e). This type of evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis so that conclusions of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concerning the effectiveness of the disclosure controls can be reported in our periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K. The overall goals of these evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and to modify them as necessary. We intend to maintain the disclosure controls as dynamic systems that we adjust as circumstances merit. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2022, due to the material weaknesses described below.
On May 17, 2022, subsequent to the evaluation as of December 31, 2021, management, in agreement with the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, determined that the previously issued financial statements for the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon and required restatement. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 17, 2022, with the SEC, on May 17, 2022, the Company’s management determined that its prior conclusion that the “conversion feature” of the Debentures qualified for equity classification and, therefore, qualified for the application of the guidance in ASU 2020-06 was incorrect. Management determined that the conversion feature was a liability classified derivative under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity from the inception requiring recognition at fair value for each reporting period. See “Item 1A, Risk Factors-Risks Relating to Our Business - “We have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.”
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
● pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
● provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and
● provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.
Management has used the 2013 framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded controls were not effective as of December 31, 2022, due to identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified is disclosed below:
1. The Company does not have a formal top-down risk assessment process or cyber risk assessment to identify significant process areas, underlying key controls, and nor does the Company have a monitoring process in place to monitor internal controls over financial reporting.
2. The Company did not properly design or maintain effective entity level monitoring controls over the financial close and reporting process. The Company’s controls surrounding the review of financial statements, vendor agreements, key reconciliations and accounting for complex transactions were not designed and did not operate at a level of precision that would prevent or detect a material misstatement.
3. The Company did not design and implement appropriate user access controls to ensure segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user access to financially significant information systems, and schedules, specifically surrounding mining revenue and mining equipment.
4. The Company has not implemented formalized and documented detective compensating controls over significant process areas integral to financial reporting that mitigate insufficient segregation of duties.
5. The Company did not properly design or maintain effective controls over its service organizations and IT vendors. More specifically, the Company did not properly design or implement controls to ensure that data received from third parties is complete and accurate or have controls in place to review the applicable complementary user entity controls described in service organizations’ reports for their potential impact on the Company’s financial reporting.
Remediation Plan for Existing Material Weaknesses
Management is committed to the remediation of the material weaknesses described above, as well as the continued improvement of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management has implemented, and continues to implement, the actions described below to remediate the underlying causes of the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weaknesses. Until the remediation efforts described below, including any additional measures management identifies as necessary, are completed, the material weaknesses described above will continue to exist. We cannot provide any assurance that the below remediation efforts will be successful or that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective as a result of these efforts. Management has commenced the following actions and will continue to assess additional opportunities for remediation on an ongoing basis:
1. Complete a formal top-down and cyber risk assessment to determine and confirm the material financial and information technology related processes in scope and determine the necessary key controls to be formally monitored to ensure the mitigation of material financial reporting risks.
2. To formally document the existence of a set of key controls over the financial reporting process, assigned to the most appropriate owner, and monitored periodically to ensure their effectiveness in operating at the desired level of precision to mitigate the risks identified during the risk assessment.
3. As part of the formal risk assessment, formally identify (and periodically update) the list of systems in scope and determine the proper set of controls to ensure a timely, accurate, and formal review of each user access to mitigate the risk of unauthorized, and nonsegregated activities.
4. The Company will develop, formalize and document detective compensating controls over significant process areas integral to financial reporting that will allow the Company to mitigate insufficient segregation of duties.
5. As part of the formal risk assessment, formally identify (and periodically update) the list of external service providers in scope and assess whether controls are in place (performed by the service provider or by the company) to address the completeness and accuracy of the relevant information needed to complete the company’s financial statement
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Employment Agreements and Arrangements
Wayne Wasserberg
On May 7, 2021, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with its Chief Executive Officer, Wayne Wasserberg, pursuant to which Mr. Wasserberg will continue to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as President, Treasurer, and Secretary of its wholly owned subsidiary, TTM Digital. Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Wasserberg will receive an annual base salary of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000). In addition, he was granted a sign-on bonus of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) and will receive an additional bonus of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) upon the Employee’s successful completion of six (6) months of employment with the Company. Further, the Employment Agreement states that additional bonus performance criteria are to be included within two (2) months of the effective date of the Employment Agreement, subject to approval of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”). The Company also agreed that Mr. Wasserberg shall receive an initial stock grant of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, once the employee stock option plan is approved by the Board and filed on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Employment Agreement subjects Mr. Wasserberg to customarily confidentiality, non-solicitation, and intellectual property assignment provisions. The Employment Agreement provides for a two-year term and may be terminated by either party in accordance with its terms. The Employment Agreement obligates the Company to remit certain cash payments to Mr. Wasserberg in connection with qualifying terminations, encompassing three termination scenarios: with Just Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), without Just Cause, and in the event of disability and death. Termination with Just Cause results in payments of the relevant portion of base salary, accrued and unused vacation, payments of unreimbursed expenses and receipt of the vested portion of any benefit plan (the “Just Cause Payments”). In the event, Mr. Wasserberg is terminated without Just Cause or within the twenty-four (24) month period following a Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then the Company shall, in addition to the Just Cause Payments, (1) continue to pay his base salary for one month for every two months of employment after the effective date of the Employment Agreement up to a maximum of twelve (12) months subject to and conditioned upon Employee signing a full general release of any and all known and unknown claims against the Company; and (2) within forty-five days of termination pay to Employee one hundred percent of the value of any accrued but unpaid bonus that Employee otherwise would have received. If the employment of Mr. Wasserberg is terminated due to his disability or death, the Company will be required to pay to him or his estate the amounts required by law or disability plans and the Just Cause Payments.
On July 26, 2021, the Company and Mr. Wasserberg entered into an amendment to the Employment Agreement effective as of July 20, 2021 (the “Amendment”). The Amendment increased the total number of restricted shares of common stock issuable to Mr. Wasserberg pursuant to the Employment Agreement from 200,000 to 1,000,000 and provided that the entirety of the shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan in accordance with the following vesting schedule: (i) 500,000 shares of common stock will be issued and vested as of July 20, 2021 and (ii) an additional 500,000 shares of restricted common stock will be issued and vested on January 20, 2022, provided that such issuance and vesting will occur only if Mr. Wasserberg remains an employee of the Company and TTM Digital as of such date. On July 20, 2021, the Company issued 500,000 shares of restricted common stock to Mr. Wasserberg, and on January 20, 2021, the Company issued an additional 500,000 shares of restricted common stock to Mr. Wasserberg.
On September 9, 2022, the Company entered into Second Amendment to the Employment Agreement for Wayne Wasserberg, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Second Amendment provides a minimum bonus of $100,000 for achievement of the bonus milestone. The bonus milestone is based upon the following:
1. The sale of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of: (i) TTM Digital, or (ii) Sysorex Government Services.
2. The raising of five million dollars in financing by or before December 31, 2022, in one transaction or a series of related transactions.
Zaman Khan
In connection with the Spin-off, on August 31, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Zaman Khan, pursuant to which Mr. Khan acts as the Chief Executive Officer for the Company and as the President of SGS.

In addition to the Khan Base Salary, Mr. Khan receives a quarterly incentive bonus in the amount of $50,000 and is eligible to participate in any executive bonus pools, discretionary performance bonuses (based on targets or other performance objectives) or deferred compensation plans that the Company may establish in its sole discretion. Mr. Khan also receives medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage for him, his spouse and his children, to the same extent and on the same terms and conditions that such coverage is provided to other senior management employees of the Company and may participate in the Company’s 401(k) plan to the same extent and on the same terms and conditions that other senior management employees of the Company are permitted to participate. Mr. Khan is entitled to three weeks paid vacation per year and paid sick days to the same extent and on the same terms and conditions that the Company provides to its other senior management employees.
The Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate the agreement, including for Just Cause, as defined in the agreement.

If the Company terminates the agreement without Just Cause or within 24 months following a Change of Control, or if Mr. Khan resigns his position as a result of a Termination Event, the Company must: (i) continue to pay to Mr. Khan the Khan Base Salary, subject to customary payroll practices and withholdings, for six months or for 12 months if he was employed for more than 24 months after the Effective Date (subject to and conditioned upon Mr. Khan signing a full general release of any and all known and unknown claims against the Company, SGS and their related parties) (the “Khan Severance Payment”); (ii) within 45 days of termination or resignation, pay to Mr. Khan 100% of the value of any accrued but unpaid bonus that he otherwise would have received; (iii) pay to Mr. Khan the value of any accrued but unpaid vacation time; (iv) pay to Mr. Khan any unreimbursed business expenses and travel expenses that are reimbursable under the agreement; (v) pay an amount equal to the Company’s monthly COBRA premium in effect on the date of termination for the number of months applicable to the Khan Severance Payment; and (vi) to the extent required under the terms of any benefit plan the vested portion of any benefit under such plan. If the Company terminates the agreement for Just Cause, Mr. Khan will receive only that portion of the Khan Base Salary, accrued but unused vacation pay, and unreimbursed business expenses, that has been earned or have been incurred through the date of termination and, to the extent required under the terms of any benefit plan, the vested portion of any benefit under such plan. Mr. Khan’s employment will be terminated immediately upon (i) his Disability, as defined in the agreement, for a period exceeding 3 months in any twelve-month period, or (ii) his death. If Mr. Khan’s employment is terminated due to Disability or death, the Company will be required to pay to him or his estate, unrelated to any amounts that he may receive pursuant to any short-term and long-term disability plans or life insurance plans, the Khan Base Salary and accrued but unpaid vacation pay earned through the date of termination, unreimbursed business expenses and to the extent required under the terms of any benefit plan, the vested portion of any benefit under such plan.
Mr. Khan has agreed to certain confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicitation provisions and the Company has agreed to indemnify Mr. Khan for acts undertaken in the course of his service so long as (i) he acted in good faith and in a manner he believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and SGS, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, and (ii) his conduct did not constitute gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct.

On July 30, 2018, the board of directors and the stockholders of the Company approved the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), which enables the Company to grant stock options, share appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, share awards, performance unit awards, and cash awards to associates, directors, consultants, and advisors of the Company and its affiliates, and to improve the ability of the Company to attract, retain, and motivate individuals upon whom the Company’s sustained growth and financial success depend, by providing such persons with an opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interest in the Company. The 2018 Plan is to be administered by the Board, which shall have discretion over the awards and grants there under. The aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock for which stock options or awards may be granted pursuant to the 2018 Plan is 80,000, which number will be automatically increased on the first day of each quarter, beginning on January 1, 2019 and for each quarter thereafter, by a number of shares of common stock equal to the least of (i) 10,000 shares,(ii) 10% of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding on that date, or (iii) a lesser number of shares that may be determined by the board. No awards may be issued after July 30, 2028.
On July 20, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment (the “Plan Amendment”) of the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as so amended, the “Plan”) to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 8,000,000 shares. The Plan Amendment became effective immediately.
The following discussion summarizes the material terms of the Plan. This discussion is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is included as an exhibit to this registration statement.
Administration
The Plan will be administered by a committee designated by the Board, provided, however, that if the Board fails to designate a committee, the Board will administer the Plan. The committee has the authority to authorize awards to eligible persons, including employees (including our executive officers), directors and other service providers. The committee has the authority to determine the terms of awards, including exercise and purchase price, the number of shares subject to awards, the value of our common stock, the vesting schedule applicable to awards, the form of consideration, if any, payable upon exercise or settlement of an award and the terms of award agreements for use under the Plan.
All grants under the Plan will be evidenced by an award agreement that will incorporate the terms and conditions of the Plan as the committee deems necessary or appropriate.
Types of Awards
The Plan provides for the granting of (i) options to purchase shares of our common stock in the form of Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Options, (ii) stock appreciation rights (SARs) in the form of Tandem SARs or Free-Standing SARs, (iii) share awards in the form of Bonus Shares, Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units, (iv) Performance Units and (v) Cash-Based Awards.
● Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Options. The committee determines the exercise price of each stock option. The exercise price of an NQSO may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. The exercise price of an incentive stock option may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant if the recipient holds 10% or less of the combined voting power of our securities, or 110% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant otherwise.
● Stock Grants. The committee may grant stock, including restricted stock, to any eligible person. The stock grant will be subject to the conditions and restrictions determined by the committee. The recipient of a stock grant shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of stock issued to the holder under the Plan.
● Stock-Based Awards. The committee may grant other stock-based awards, including SARs and restricted share units, with terms approved by the committee, including restrictions related to the awards. The holder of a stock-based award shall not have the rights of a stockholder.
● Performance Unit Awards. The committee may grant performance unit awards. A performance unit is a right to receive, contingent upon the attainment of specified performance measures within a specified performance period, a specified cash amount or, in lieu thereof and to the extent set forth in the applicable award agreement, shares having a fair market value equal to such cash amount.
Coverage Eligibility
The committee determines the individuals who are eligible to receive awards from the Plan.
Termination of Service
Upon termination of an award recipient’s service, the disposition of any award shall be determined by the committee and be set forth in the award agreement.
Transferability
Awards under the Plan may not be transferred except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved by the Company or, to the extent expressly permitted in the agreement relating to such award, to the holder’s family members, a trust or entity established by the holder for estate planning purpose, or a charitable organization designated by the holder, in each case, without consideration.
Adjustment

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Any non-employee directors of Sysorex will be paid an annual fee equal to $80,000, payable quarterly. Accordingly, William B. Stilley earned fees of $26,000 for his service as a non-employee director during 2021.
In addition, upon the designation of committees of the Board, we expect that the Board will approve an additional annual fee to be paid to the chair of each committee of the Board. Fees to independent directors may be made by issuance of common stock, based on the value of such common stock at the date of issuance, rather than in cash, provided that any such issuance does not prevent such director from being determined to be independent. We expect that each director that is not an executive officer may also receive grants under the Plan. We expect that any of our executive officers who also serve as directors, however, will be separately compensated by us for their service as directors. We expect that all members of the Board will be reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in attending meetings of our Board.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
ITEM 13: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons.
The Board reviews issues involving potential conflicts of interest, and reviews and approves all related party transactions, including those required to be disclosed as a “related party” transaction under applicable federal securities laws. The Board has not adopted any specific procedures for conducting reviews of potential conflicts of interest and considers each transaction in light of the specific facts and circumstances presented. However, to the extent a potential related party transaction is presented to the Board, the Company expects that the Board would become fully informed regarding the potential transaction and the interests of the related party and would have the opportunity to deliberate outside of the presence of the related party. The Company expects that the Board would only approve a related party transaction that was in the best interests of the Company, and further would seek to ensure that any completed related party transaction was on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained in a transaction with an unaffiliated third party. Other than as described below, no transaction requiring disclosure under applicable federal securities laws occurred during fiscal year 2022 that was submitted to the Board for approval as a “related party” transaction.
Related Party Transactions
SEC regulations define the related person transactions that require disclosure to include any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years in which we were or are to be a participant and in which a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A related person is: (i) an executive officer, director or director nominee, (ii) a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, (iii) an immediate family member of an executive officer, director or director nominee or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, or (iv) any entity that is owned or controlled by any of the foregoing persons or in which any of the foregoing persons has a substantial ownership interest or control.

Except as set forth in Amendment No. 2, the original employment agreement, as amended, remains in full force and effect.
On September 9, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Employment Agreement for Wayne Wasserberg, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Second Amendment”). Mr. Wasserberg is considered a related party because he is an executive officer and director of the Company and his interest in this transaction is as set forth below in the compensation components of the following disclosure of the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment provides a minimum bonus of $100,000 for achievement of the bonus milestone. The bonus milestone is based upon the following:
1. The sale of all or substantially all the stock or assets of: (i) TTM Digital, or (ii) Sysorex Government Services.
2. The raising of five million dollars in financing by or before December 31, 2022, in one transaction or a series of related transactions.
Accrued Salaries and Bonuses
As of December 31, 2022, officers of the Company, Zaman Khan and Vincent Loiacono deferred bonuses of $90,000 and $75,000 respectively.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
ITEM 14: PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Friedman LLP (“Friedman”) has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since the Board’s appointment on June 3, 2021. On September 1, 2022, Friedman merged with Marcum LLP (“Marcum”). The following table shows the fees that were billed for the audit and other services provided by Marcum and Friedman for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021.
Audit Fees $ 320,099 $ 587,000
Audit Related Fees $ - $ -
Tax Fees $ - $ -
All Other Fees $ 12,000 $ -
Audit Fees
The 2021 audit fees for our annual financial statements and review of our financial statements included in our Form 10Q are for services that are normally provided by Friedman in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for that fiscal year.
The 2022 quarterly fee for March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 was $78,419 and paid to Friedman. The audit of our 2022 annual financial statements and September 30, 2022 quarterly service fees of $253,680 billed to us, are provided by Marcum in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for that fiscal year.
Pre-approval Policies and Procedures
On October 31, 2022, our audit committee chair (Mr. Stilley) resigned his position with the Company. Currently, we do not have a separately designated standing audit committee. Prior to Mr. Stilley’s resignation, the Audit Committee was required to review and approve in advance the retention of the independent auditors for the performance of all audits and lawfully permitted non-audit services and the fees for such services. The full Board now performs this function. Prior to Mr. Stilley’s resignation, the Audit Committee could delegate to one or more of its members the authority to grant pre-approvals for the performance of non-audit services, and any such Audit Committee member who pre-approves a non-audit service was required to report the pre-approval to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee is required to periodically notify the Board of their approvals. The required pre-approval policies and procedures were complied with during 2021 and 2022.
