Our
Business
We

business outcomes and innovation. Leveraging our engineering talent, we assess, design, deliver, secure, and manage solutions
comprised of leading technologies aligned with our customers’ needs. Our subsidiary, New Stratos, serves primarily as a

which do business as Computex Technology Solutions.
We
offer a number of products and services to our customers to fit their specific IT needs, as we strive to be their primary IT service
provider. Some of our offerings include:
|
●
|
“IT Sales”—the
sale of hardware, perpetual and subscription software, maintenance services, software assurance services, and internally-provided
and outsourced services. We believe that our customers view technology purchases as integrated solutions, rather than discrete
product and service categories, and most of our sales are derived from integrated solutions involving our customers’
data centers, network, security, and collaboration infrastructure. We hold various technical and sales-related certifications
from leading manufacturers and software publishers such as Cisco, Dell and HPE, which allows us to market their products and
enables us to provide advanced professional services. We actively engage with emerging vendors to offer their technologies
to our customers. Our flexible platform and customizable catalogs facilitate the addition of new vendors’ products with
minimal incremental effort;

center, mobility, and collaboration;

infrastructure, and virtual desktop infrastructure, supported by security and managed services solutions;

and expertise, often at a fraction of the cost of in-house security resources; and
|
|
●
|
“Project Management
Services”—enhances productivity and collaboration management and enables successful implementations and adoption
of solutions for customers.
|
Our
primary focus in delivering comprehensive IT solutions is to deliver custom tailored solutions that address our customers’
business and financial needs while leveraging the best technologies, both on-premise and in the cloud. We begin with a consultation
with our clients to better understand their business needs and then design, deploy and manage solutions aligned to such needs.
In order to provide custom tailored solutions, we leverage the broader areas of cloud, security, networking, data center, collaboration
and specific skills in orchestration and automation, data management, data visualization, analytics, network modernization, edge
computing and other innovative and emerging technologies. In providing these solutions, we use world-class leading technologies
from partners such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Cisco Systems, Citrix, Cohesity, Cylance, Dell EMC, F5 Networks, HPE,
IBM, Juniper Networks, Meraki, Microsoft, NetApp, Nutanix, Oracle, Palo Alto Networks, Pure Storage, Rubrik, and VMware, among
others. We possess top-level engineering certifications and talent with a broad range of leading IT vendors that enable us to
offer tailored multi-vendor IT solutions that are optimized for each of our customers’ specific requirements.
Moreover,
our technical resources have enabled us to continue investing in engineering and technology resources to stay on the forefront
of technology trends. Our expertise in core and emerging innovative technologies, fortified by our robust portfolio of consulting,
professional, and managed services, has enabled us to remain a trusted advisor for our customers. This broad portfolio enables
us to deliver a unique customer experience that spans the gamut from fast delivery of competitively priced products, services,
subsequent management and upkeep, through to end-of-life disposal services. This approach permits us to deploy ever-more-sophisticated
solutions enabling our customers’ business outcomes.
Corporate
Information
We
are a Delaware corporation and formerly, under the name “Pensare Acquisition Corp.,” had the business purpose to effect
a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar business combination
with one or more businesses or entities. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, we changed our name
to “American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc.” Our principal executive offices are located at 1720 Peachtree Street,
Suite 629, Atlanta, GA 30309, and our telephone number is (404) 239-2863. Our corporate website address is www.avctechnologies.com.
Information contained on or accessible through our website is not a part of this prospectus, and the inclusion of our website
address in this prospectus is an inactive textual reference only.
Our
common stock and warrants are traded on Nasdaq under the symbols “AVCT” and “AVCTW,” respectively.
We
are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various
reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not
limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy
statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder
approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a
result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.
In
addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition
period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words,
an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply
to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
We
will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary
of the completion of the IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are
deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds
$700 million as of the prior June 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt
securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to emerging growth company will have the meaning associated with
it in the JOBS Act.

RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully all of the risks described below,
together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before making a decision to invest in our common stock. If any
of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In
that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks
Related to Our Business and Industry
General
economic weakness may harm the Company’s operating results and financial condition.
The
Company’s results of operations are largely dependent upon the state of the economy. Global economic weakness and uncertainty
may result in decreased sales, gross margin, earnings and/or growth rates from its U.S. based customers and from customers outside
the U.S. In addition, material changes in trade agreements between the U.S. and other countries may, for example, negatively affect
the Company’s ability to purchase product, and import or export product, increasing product pricing and negatively impacting
availability of product. Adverse economic conditions may decrease the Company’s customers’ demand for its products
and services or impair the ability of its customers to pay for products and services they have purchased. As a result, the Company’s
sales could decrease, and reserves for its credit losses and write-offs of receivables may increase.
The
Company’s business could be adversely affected by the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
In
December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing
to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization
declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, U.S.
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare
community in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the COVID-19 outbreak
as a “pandemic.” The COVID-19 outbreak has severely restricted the level of economic activity within the United States
and around the world.
In
response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions have taken preventative
or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations. Temporary closures of businesses have
been ordered and numerous other businesses have temporarily closed voluntarily. These actions may continue to expand in scope,
type and impact. These measures, while intended to protect human life, are expected to have significant adverse impacts on domestic
and foreign economies of uncertain severity and duration. It is likely that the current outbreak or continued spread of COVID-19
will cause an economic slowdown, which may result in a global recession. The effectiveness of economic stabilization efforts being
taken to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak is currently uncertain.
A
public health pandemic, including COVID-19, poses the risk that the Company or its affiliates, employees, suppliers, customers
and others may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including as a result of shutdowns,
travel restrictions and other actions that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. Such actions may prevent
the Company from accessing the facilities of its customers to deliver products and provide services. In addition, the Company’s
customers may choose to delay or abandon projects on which it provides products and/or services as a result of such actions. Further,
the Company has experienced, and may continue to experience, disruptions or delays in its supply chain as a result of such actions.
The Company can give no assurance that its businesses will be classified as essential in each of the jurisdictions in which it
operates.
The
COVID-19 outbreak has impacted, and may continue to impact, the Company’s facilities, as well as those of its third party
vendors and customers, including through the effects of facility closures, reductions in operating hours and other social distancing
efforts. In addition, the Company has modified its business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, and
cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), and the Company may take further actions as may be
required by government authorities or that the Company determines are in the best interests of its employees, customers, partners,
and suppliers.
The
Company’s liquidity could be negatively impacted if these conditions continue for a significant period of time and we may
be required to pursue additional sources of financing to obtain working capital, maintain appropriate inventory levels and meet
our financial obligations. Our ability to obtain any required financing is not guaranteed and largely dependent upon evolving
market conditions and other factors. Depending on the continued impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, further actions may be required
to improve the Company’s cash position and capital structure. The Company cannot assure you that it would be able to take
any of these actions on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all, that these actions would be successful and permit the
Company to meet its scheduled debt service obligations or satisfy its capital requirements, or that these actions would be permitted
under the terms of its existing or future debt agreements, including the Credit Agreement.
The
Company may also experience impacts from market downturns and changes in demand for the Company’s products and services
related to pandemic fears and impacts on its workforce as a result of COVID-19. If the COVID-19 outbreak becomes more pronounced
in the Company’s markets, or if another significant natural disaster or pandemic were to occur in the future, the Company’s
operations in areas impacted by such events could experience further adverse financial impacts due to market changes and other
resulting events and circumstances. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts the Company’s results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including
new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, the longevity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19
or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Although it is difficult
to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s business, it is likely that the impact
of COVID-19 will adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows in fiscal year
2020.
Even
after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may continue to experience significant impacts to its business as a result
of the global economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, including any economic downturn or recession or other long-term effects
that have occurred or may occur in the future.
If
the Company loses one or more of its large volume customers, its earnings may be materially affected.
Many
of the contracts for the provision of products and services from the Company to its customers are generally non-exclusive agreements
without volume purchase commitments and are terminable by either party upon 30 days’ notice. The loss of one or more
of its largest customers, the failure of such customers to pay amounts due to it, or a material reduction in the amount of purchases
made by such customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations
and cash flows.
Changes
in the IT industry, customers’ usage or procurement of IT, and/or rapid changes in product standards may result in reduced
demand for the IT hardware and software solutions and services the Company sells.
The
Company’s results of operations are influenced by a variety of factors, including the condition of the IT industry, shifts
in demand for, or availability of, IT hardware, software, peripherals and services, and industry introductions of new products,
upgrades, methods of distribution, and the nature of how IT is consumed and procured. The IT industry is characterized by rapid
technological change and the frequent introduction of new products, product enhancements and new distribution methods or channels,
each of which can decrease demand for current products or render them obsolete. In addition, the proliferation of cloud technology,
infrastructure as a service (IaaS), software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), software defined networking, or
other emerging technologies may reduce the demand for products and services the Company sells to its customers. Cloud offerings
may influence the Company’s customers to move workloads to cloud providers, which may reduce the procurement of products
and services from the Company. Changes in the IT industry may also affect the demand for the Company’s advanced professional
and managed services. The Company has invested a significant amount of capital in personnel, and this strategy may adversely impact
its financial position due to competition or changes in the industry or improper focus or selection of the products and services
the Company decides to offer. If the Company fails to react in a timely manner to such changes, its results of operations may
be adversely affected. The Company’s sales can be dependent on demand for specific product categories, and any change in
demand for or supply of such products could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.
A
substantial or an extended decline in oil and gas prices could result in lower expenditures by the Company’s customers in
the oil and gas industry, which could have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
Demand
for the Company’s products and services depends on expenditures by its customers involved in the oil and natural gas industry.
These expenditures are generally dependent on the Company’s customers’ views of future oil and natural gas prices
and are sensitive to its customers’ views of future economic growth and the resulting impact on demand for oil and natural
gas. Declines, as well as anticipated declines, in oil and gas prices could result in project modifications, delays or cancellations,
general business disruptions, and delays in payment of, or nonpayment of, amounts that are owed to the Company. These effects
could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The oil
and gas industry has historically experienced periodic downturns, which have been characterized by diminished demand for the Company’s
products and services as well as and downward pressure on the prices it charges. Sustained market uncertainty can also result
in lower demand and pricing for the Company’s products and services within such industry. A significant downturn or sustained
market uncertainty could result in a reduction in demand for the Company’s services and could adversely affect its financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The
Company may fail to innovate or create new solutions which align with changing market and customer demand.
As
a provider of a comprehensive set of solutions, which involves the offering of bundled solutions consisting of direct IT sales,
advanced professional and managed services, the Company expects to encounter some of the challenges, risks, difficulties, and
uncertainties frequently encountered by companies providing bundled solutions in rapidly evolving markets. Some of these challenges
include the Company’s ability to increase the total number of users of its services or adapt to meet changes in its markets
and competitive developments. The Company’s personnel must continually stay current with vendor and marketplace technology
advancements, create solutions which may integrate evolving vendor products and services as well as services and solutions the
Company provides, to meet changing marketplace and customer demand. Further, the Company may provide customized solutions and
services that are solely reliant on its own marketing, design and fulfillment services, and the Company may lack the skills or
personnel to execute. The Company’s failure to innovate and provide value to its customers may erode its competitive position
and market share and may lead to a decrease in revenue and financial performance.
In
all of the Company’s markets, some of its competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources
than the Company does. In addition, some of these competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities,
technologies, and customer requirements. Many current and potential competitors engage in more extensive promotional marketing
and advertising activities, offer more attractive terms to customers, and adopt more aggressive pricing and credit policies than
the Company does. The Company may not be successful in achieving revenue growth which may have a material adverse effect on its
future operating results as a whole.
The
Company’s business depends on its vendor partner relationships and the availability of their products.
The
Company’s solutions portfolio includes products from OEMs, software publishers and cloud providers. The Company is authorized
by these vendor partners to sell all or some of their products via direct marketing activities. Its authorization with each vendor
partner is subject to specific terms and conditions regarding such things as sales channel restrictions, product return privileges,
price protection policies, purchase discounts and vendor partner programs and funding, including purchase rebates, sales volume
rebates, purchasing incentives and cooperative advertising reimbursements. However, the Company does not have any long-term contracts
with its vendor partners and many of these arrangements are terminable upon notice by either party. A reduction in vendor partner
programs or funding or the Company’s failure to timely react to changes in vendor partner programs or funding could have
an adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, a reduction in the amount
or a change in the terms of credit granted to the Company by its vendor partners could increase the Company’s need for,
and the cost of, working capital and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or cash
flows, particularly given the Company’s substantial indebtedness.
From
time to time, vendor partners may terminate or limit the Company’s right to sell some or all of their products or change
the terms and conditions or reduce or discontinue the incentives that they offer the Company. For example, there is no assurance
that, as the Company’s vendor partners continue to sell directly to end users and through resellers, they will not limit
or curtail the availability of their products to solutions providers like the Company. Any such termination or limitation or the
implementation of such changes could have a negative impact on the Company’s business, results of operations or cash flows.
The
Company purchases the products included in its solutions portfolio both directly from its vendor partners and from wholesale distributors.
Although the Company purchases from a diverse vendor base, in the year ended December 31, 2019, products it purchased from
wholesale distributors Ingram Micro and Techdata, both represented more than 5% of total purchases. In addition, sales of products
manufactured by Cisco, Dell, and Nutanix whether purchased directly from these vendor partners or from a wholesale distributor,
represented in the aggregate nearly 30% of the Company’s fiscal year 2019 consolidated net sales. The loss of, or change
in business relationship with, any of these or any other key vendor partners, or the diminished availability of their products,
including due to backlogs for their products, could reduce the supply and increase the cost of products the Company sells and
negatively impact its competitive position.
Additionally,
the relocation of key distributors utilized in the Company’s purchasing model could increase its need for, and the cost
of, working capital and have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations or cash flows. Further, the sale, spin-off
or combination of any of the Company’s vendor partners and/or certain of their business units, including any such sale to
or combination with a vendor with whom the Company does not currently have a commercial relationship or whose products the Company
does not sell, could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations or cash flows.
Breaches
of data security and the failure to protect the Company’s information technology systems from cybersecurity threats could
adversely impact its business.
The
Company’s business involves the storage and transmission of proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data,
including personal information of its employees, customers and others. In addition, the Company operates data centers for its
customers that host their technology infrastructure and may store and transmit both business-critical data and confidential information.
In connection with the Company’s services business, some of its employees also have access to its customers’ confidential
data and other information. The Company has privacy and data security policies in place that are designed to prevent security
breaches; however, as newer technologies evolve, and the portfolio of the service providers with which the Company shares confidential
information with grows, the Company could be exposed to increased risk of breaches in security and other illegal or fraudulent
acts, including cyberattacks. The evolving nature of such threats, in light of new and sophisticated methods used by criminals
and cyberterrorists, including computer viruses, malware, phishing, misrepresentation, social engineering and forgery, are making
it increasingly challenging to anticipate and adequately mitigate these risks.
The
Company may not be able to hire and/or retain personnel that it needs.
To
increase market awareness and sales of the Company’s offerings, the Company may need to expand its marketing efforts and
sales operations in the future. The Company’s products and services require a sophisticated sales effort and significant
technical engineering talent. For example, its sales and engineering candidates must have highly technical hardware and software
knowledge to create a customized solution for its customers’ business processes. Competition for qualified sales, marketing
and engineering personnel fluctuates depending on market conditions, and the Company may not be able to hire or retain sufficient
personnel to maintain and grow its business. Frequently, the Company’s competitors require their employees to agree to non-compete
and non-solicitation agreements as part of their employment. This makes it more difficult for the Company to hire and increases
the Company’s costs by reviewing and managing non-compete restrictions. Additionally, in some cases the Company’s
relationship with a customer may be impacted by turnover in its sales or engineering team. For example, in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2019, several sales representatives and managers voluntarily resigned their employment with the Company. These sales
representatives and managers were the relationship managers to a number of the Company’s customers. The loss of these customers
adversely affected the net sales of the Company for fiscal year 2019 and could have the same effect on subsequent periods if such
lost sales are not offset by the Company’s new sales representatives and newly acquired customers.
The
Company faces substantial competition from other companies.
In
its technology segment, the Company competes in all areas of its business against local, regional, national, and international
firms, including other direct marketers; national and regional resellers; online marketplace competitors; and regional and national
service providers. In addition, the Company faces competition from vendors, which may choose to market their products directly
to end-users, rather than through channel partners such as the Company, and this could adversely affect the Company’s future
sales. Many competitors compete based principally on price and may have lower costs or accept lower selling prices than the Company
does and, therefore, the Company’s gross margins may not be maintainable. Online market place competitors are continually
improving their pricing and offerings to customers as well as ease of use of their online marketplaces. The Company’s competitors
may offer better or different products and services than the Company offers. In addition, the Company does not have guaranteed
purchasing volume commitments from its customers and, therefore, its sales volume may be volatile.
The
Company may not have designed or maintained its IT systems to support its business.
The
Company depends heavily upon the accuracy and reliability of its information, telecommunication, cybersecurity and other systems
including the operation of redundant systems if there are failures in its primary systems, which are used for customer management,
sales, distribution, marketing, purchasing, inventory management, order processing and fulfillment, customer service and general
accounting functions. The Company must continually maintain, secure and improve its systems. The protections the Company has in
place address a variety of threats to its information technology systems, both internal and external, including human error. Inadequate
security practices or design of the Company’s IT systems, or IT systems from third-parties which it utilizes, or third-party
service providers’ failure to provide adequate services could result in the disclosure of sensitive or confidential information
or personal information or cause other business interruptions that could damage the Company’s reputation and disrupt its
business. Inadequate design or interruption of the Company’s information systems, Internet availability, telecommunications
systems or power failures could have a material adverse effect on its business, its reputation, financial condition, cash flows,
or results of operations.
The
Company’s managed services business requires it to monitor its customers’ devices on their networks across varying
levels of service. If the Company has not designed its IT systems to provide this service accurately or if there is a security
breach in its IT system or the customers’ systems, the Company may be liable for claims.
The
Company relies on the competency of its internal IT personnel. The Company’s failure to hire, develop, retain, and supervise
competent IT personnel to secure its data, design redundant systems, or design and maintain its technology systems including its
data and voice networks, and applications, could significantly interrupt its business causing a negative impact on its results.
The
Company may not adequately protect itself through its contracts, or its insurance policies may not be adequate to address potential
losses or claims.
The
Company’s contracts may not protect it against the risks inherent in its business including, but not limited to, warranties,
limitations of liability, indemnification obligations, human resources and subcontractor-related claims, patent and product liability,
regulatory and compliance obligations, and data security and privacy. Also, the Company faces pressure from its customers for
competitive pricing and contract terms. The Company also is subject to audits by various vendor partners and customers relating
to purchases and sales under various contracts. In addition, the Company is subject to indemnification claims under various contracts.
The
Company depends on having creditworthy customers to avoid an adverse impact on its operating results and financial condition.
If
the credit quality of the Company’s customer base materially decreases, or if the Company experiences a material increase
in its credit losses, the Company may find it difficult to continue to obtain the required capital for its business, and its operating
results and financial condition may be harmed. In addition to the impact on the Company’s ability to attract capital, a
material increase in its delinquency and default experience would itself have a material adverse effect on its business, operating
results, and financial condition.
The
Company’s ability to successfully attract and retain qualified sales personnel is important to its success.
The
Company’s success depends on its ability to attract, motivate, and retain a sufficient number of qualified sales representatives,
who understand and appreciate the Company’s strategy and culture and are able to adequately represent the Company to its
customers. Qualified individuals of the requisite caliber and number needed to fill these positions may be in short supply in
some areas. If the Company is unable to hire and retain personnel capable of consistently providing a high level of customer service
its sales could be materially adversely affected. Additionally, any material increases in existing employee turnover rates or
increases in labor costs could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or operating
results.
The
Company may be liable for misuse of its customers’ or employees’ information.
Third-parties,
such as hackers, could circumvent or sabotage the security practices and products used in the Company’s product and service
offerings, and/or the security practices or products used in the Company’s internal IT systems, which could result in disclosure
of sensitive or personal information, unauthorized procurement, or other business interruptions that could damage the Company’s
reputation and disrupt its business. Attacks may range from random attempts to coordinated and targeted attacks, including sophisticated
computer crime and advanced persistent threats.
If
third-parties or the Company’s employees are able to maliciously penetrate its network security or otherwise misappropriate
its customers’ information or employees’ personal information, or other information for which its customers may be
responsible and for which the Company agrees to be responsible in connection with service contracts into which it may enter, or
if the Company gives third-parties or its employees improper access to certain information, the Company could be subject to liability.
This liability could include claims for unauthorized access to devices on its network; unauthorized access to its customers’
networks, applications, data, devices, or software; and identity theft or other similar fraud-related claims. This liability could
also include claims for other misuses of or inappropriate access to personal information. Other liability could include claims
alleging misrepresentation of the Company’s privacy and data security practices. Any such liability for misappropriation
of this information could decrease the Company’s profitability. In addition, federal and state agencies have been investigating
various companies regarding whether they misused or inadequately secured information. The Company could incur additional expenses
when new laws or regulations regarding the use of information are enacted, or if governmental agencies require the Company to
substantially modify its privacy or security practices. The Company could fail to comply with applicable data privacy laws, the
violation of which may result in audits, fines, penalties, litigation, or administrative enforcement actions with associated costs.
Advances
in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography, or other events or developments may result in a compromise
or breach of the security practices the Company uses to protect sensitive customer transaction information and employee information.
A party who is able to circumvent the Company’s security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause
interruptions in the Company’s operations. Further, third-parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees or customers
into disclosing sensitive information such as user names, passwords, or other information or otherwise compromise the security
of the Company’s internal networks and/or its customers’ information. Since techniques used to obtain unauthorized
access change frequently and the size and severity of security breaches are increasing, the Company may be unable to implement
adequate preventative measures or timely identify or stop security breaches while they are occurring.
The
Company may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against security breaches or to remediate
the subsequent risks and issues caused by such breaches. The Company’s security measures are designed to protect against
security breaches, but its failure to prevent such security breaches could cause it to incur significant expense to investigate
and respond to a security breach and correct any problems caused by any breach, subject it to liability, damage its reputation,
and diminish the value of its brand. There can be no assurance that the limitations of liability in Company contracts would be
enforceable or adequate or would otherwise protect the Company from any such liabilities or damages with respect to any particular
claim. The Company also cannot be sure that its existing insurance coverage for errors and omissions or security breaches will
continue to be available on acceptable terms or in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims, or that its insurers
will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against the Company that exceeds
its available insurance coverage, or changes in its insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large
deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and
results of operations.
Failure
to comply with new laws or changes to existing laws may adversely impact the Company’s business.
The
Company’s operations are subject to numerous U.S. laws and regulations in a number of areas including, but not limited to,
areas of labor and employment, immigration, advertising, e-commerce, tax, import and export requirements, data privacy requirements,
anti-competition, and environmental, health, and safety. Compliance with these laws, regulations, and similar requirements may
be onerous and expensive, and they may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, further increasing the cost of compliance
and doing business, and the risk of noncompliance. The Company has implemented policies and procedures designed to help comply
with applicable laws and regulations, but there can be no certainty that employees, contractors, or agents will fully comply with
laws and regulations or the Company’s policies and procedures.
Loss
of services by any of the Company’s executive officers or senior management and/or failure to successfully implement a succession
plan could adversely affect the Company’s business.
The
loss of the services by the Company’s executive officers or senior management and/or failure to successfully implement a
succession plan could disrupt management of the Company’s business and impair the execution of its business strategies.
The Company believes that its success depends in part upon its ability to retain the services of its executive officers and senior
management and successfully implement a succession plan. The Company’s executive officers are at the forefront in determining
its strategic direction and focus. The loss of its executive officers’ and senior management’s services without replacement
by qualified successors could adversely affect the Company’s ability to manage effectively its overall operations and successfully
execute current or future business strategies, and could cause other instability within the Company’s workforce.
The
Company relies on its primary credit facility for working capital and its accounts payable processing.
The
loss of the Company’s primary credit facility with Comerica Bank pursuant to the Credit Agreement could have a material
adverse effect on its future results as it relies on this facility and its components for daily working capital and the operational
function of its accounts payable process. The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that must be met each quarter and either
party may terminate the agreement for any reason with a 90-days’ notice. There can be no assurance that the Company will
continue to meet those covenants and failure to do so may limit availability of, or cause the Company to lose, such financing.
There can be no assurance that such financing will continue to be available to the Company in the future on acceptable terms.
Changes
in accounting standards, or the misapplication of current accounting standards, may adversely affect the Company’s future
financial results.
The
Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles are subject to interpretation
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the SEC, the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) and various other bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting
policies. Future periodic assessments required by current or new accounting standards may result in noncash charges and/or changes
in presentation or disclosure. In addition, any change in accounting standards may influence the Company’s customers’
decision to purchase from the Company or finance transactions with the Company, which could have a significant adverse effect
on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
The
Company is required to determine if it is the principal or agent in all transactions with its customers. The voluminous number
of products and services the Company sells, and the manner in which they are bundled, are technologically complex. Mischaracterization
of these products and services could result in misapplication of revenue recognition polices. The Company uses estimates where
necessary, such as the fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination, the analysis for goodwill
impairment, allowance for doubtful accounts and the cost to perform professional and managed services, which require judgment
and are based on best available information. If the Company is unable to accurately estimate the cost of these services or the
time-line for completion of contracts, the profitability of its contracts may be materially and adversely affected.
A
natural disaster or other adverse occurrence at one of the Company’s facilities could damage its business.
The
Company has one warehouse and distribution facility in the U.S. If the warehouse and distribution equipment at its distribution
center were to be seriously damaged by a natural disaster or other adverse occurrence, the Company could utilize another distribution
center or third-party distributors to ship products to its customers. However, this may not be sufficient to avoid interruptions
in the Company’s service and may not enable the Company to meet all of the needs of its customers and would cause the Company
to incur incremental operating costs. In addition, the Company operates two customer facing data centers which contain its Securities
Operations Center, Network Operations Center, and numerous sales offices which may contain both business-critical data and confidential
information of the Company’s customers. A natural disaster or other adverse occurrence at any of the customer data centers
or at any of the Company’s major sales offices could negatively impact its business, results of operations or cash flows.
The
Company could be exposed to additional risks if it continues to make strategic investments or acquisitions or enter into alliances.
The
Company may continue to pursue transactions, including strategic investments, acquisitions or alliances, in an effort to extend
or complement its existing business. These types of transactions involve numerous business risks, including finding suitable transaction
partners and negotiating terms that are acceptable to the Company, the diversion of management’s attention from other business
concerns, extending the Company’s product or service offerings into areas in which the Company has limited experience, entering
into new geographic markets, the potential loss of key coworkers or business relationships and successfully integrating acquired
businesses. There can be no assurance that the intended benefits of the Company’s investments, acquisitions and alliances
will be realized, or that those benefits will offset these numerous risks or other unforeseen factors, any of which could adversely
affect the Company’s business, results of operations or cash flows.
In
addition, the Company’s financial results could be adversely affected by financial adjustments required by U.S. GAAP in
connection with these types of transactions where significant goodwill or intangible assets are recorded. To the extent the value
of goodwill or identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives becomes impaired, the Company may be required to incur material
charges relating to the impairment of those assets.
The
Company may be required to take impairment charges for goodwill or other intangible assets related to acquisitions.
The
Company has acquired certain portions of its business and assets through acquisitions. Further, as part of its long-term business
strategy, the Company may continue to pursue acquisitions of other companies or assets. In connection with prior acquisitions,
the Company has accounted for the portion of the purchase price paid in excess of the book value of the assets acquired as goodwill
or intangible assets, and it may be required to account for similar premiums paid on future acquisitions in the same manner.
Under
the applicable accounting principles, goodwill is not amortized and is carried on the Company’s books at its original value,
subject to annual review and evaluation for impairment, whereas intangible assets are amortized over the life of the asset. Changes
in the business itself, the economic environment (including business valuation levels and trends), or the legislative or regulatory
environment may trigger a review and evaluation of the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets for potential impairment
outside of the normal review periods. These changes may adversely affect either the fair value of the business or the Company’s
individual reporting units and the Company may be required to take an impairment charge.
If
market and economic conditions deteriorate, this could increase the likelihood that the Company will need to record impairment
charges to the extent the carrying value of its goodwill exceeds the fair value of its overall business. Such impairment charges
could materially adversely affect the Company’s net earnings during the period in which the charge is taken. As of December 31,
2019, the Company had goodwill and other intangible assets of $21.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
The
Company faces risks of claims from third-parties for intellectual property infringement, including counterfeit products, that
could harm its business.
The
Company may be subject to claims that products that it resells infringe on the intellectual property rights of third-parties and/or
are counterfeit products. The vendor of certain products or services the Company resells may not provide the Company with indemnification
for infringement or indemnification; however, the Company’s customers may seek indemnification from the Company. The Company
could incur substantial costs in defending infringement claims against itself and its customers. In the event of such claims,
the Company and its customers may be required to obtain one or more licenses from third-parties. The Company may not be able to
obtain such licenses from third-parties at a reasonable cost or at all. Defense of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any such required
license could significantly increase the Company’s expenses and/or adversely affect its ability to offer one or more of
its services.
Risks
Related to Our Indebtedness
The
Company has a substantial amount of indebtedness, which could have important consequences to its business.
The
Company has a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $14.2 million of total debt outstanding,
as defined by U.S. GAAP, and $0.2 million of obligations outstanding under equipment financing agreements, and the ability
to borrow an additional $13.9 million under the Credit Agreement, subject to a borrowing base and a liquidity condition.
The Company’s substantial indebtedness could have important consequences, including the following:
|
●
|
making it more difficult
for the Company to satisfy its obligations with respect to its indebtedness;
|
|
●
|
requiring the Company
to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to debt service payments on its and its subsidiaries’
debt, which reduces the funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate
purposes;
|
|
●
|
requiring the Company
to comply with restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement, which limit the manner in which it conducts its business;
|
|
●
|
making it more difficult
for the Company to obtain vendor financing from its vendor partners, including original equipment manufacturers and software
publishers;
|
|
●
|
limiting the Company’s
flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the industry in which it operates;
|
|
●
|
placing the Company
at a competitive disadvantage compared to any of its less-leveraged competitors;
|
|
●
|
increasing the Company’s
vulnerability to both general and industry-specific adverse economic conditions; and
|
|
●
|
limiting the Company’s
ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or
other general corporate requirements and increasing its cost of borrowing.
|
Restrictive
covenants under the Credit Agreement may adversely affect its operations and liquidity.
The
Credit Agreement contains and any future indebtedness of the Company may contain, various covenants that limit its ability to,
among other things:
|
●
|
incur or guarantee
additional debt;
|
|
●
|
pay dividends or
make distributions to holders of the Company’s capital stock or to make certain other restricted payments or investments;
|
|
●
|
repurchase or redeem
capital stock;
|
|
●
|
make loans, capital
expenditures or investments or acquisitions;
|
|
●
|
receive dividends
or other payments from its subsidiaries;
|
|
●
|
enter
into transactions with affiliates;
|
|
●
|
pledge
its assets as collateral;
|
|
●
|
merge
or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of its assets;
|
|
●
|
transfer
or sell assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; and
|
|
●
|
prepay,
repurchase or redeem debt.
|
As
a result of these covenants, the Company is limited in the manner in which it conducts its business and it may be unable to engage
in favorable business activities or finance future operations or capital needs. A breach of any of these covenants or any of the
other covenants in the Credit Agreement (including without limitation financial covenants) would result in a default under the
Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, the lenders:
|
●
|
will
not be required to lend any additional amounts to the Company;
|
|
●
|
could
elect to declare all borrowings outstanding thereunder, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be due and
payable; or
|
|
●
|
could
require the Company to apply all of its available cash to repay these borrowings.
|
If
the Company were unable to repay those amounts, the lender under the Credit Agreement could proceed against the collateral granted
to it to secure the Company’s borrowings thereunder. The Company has pledged a significant portion of its assets as collateral
under the Credit Agreement. If the lender under the Credit Agreement accelerates the repayment of borrowings, the Company cannot
assure you that it will have sufficient assets to repay the Credit Agreement and its other indebtedness or the ability to borrow
sufficient funds to refinance such indebtedness. Even if the Company were able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially
reasonable terms, or terms that are acceptable to the Company.
As
of December 31, 2019, under the Credit Agreement, the Company is permitted to borrow an aggregate amount of up to $13.9 million.
However, its ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement is limited by a borrowing base and a liquidity condition. The borrowing
base at any time equals the sum of up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory. The borrowing base
in effect as of December 31, 2019 was $12.6 million and, therefore, did restrict the Company’s ability to borrow under
the Credit Agreement as of that date.
The
Company will be required to generate sufficient cash to service its indebtedness and, if not successful, the Company may be forced
to take other actions to satisfy its obligations under its indebtedness.
The
Company’s ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance its debt obligations depends on its financial and operating
performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors
beyond its control. The Company’s outstanding long-term debt will impose significant cash interest payment obligations on
the Company and, accordingly, the Company will have to generate significant cash flow from operating activities to fund its debt
service obligations. The Company cannot assure you that it will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient
to permit it to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on its indebtedness.
If
the Company’s cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund its debt service obligations, the Company may be
forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional debt or equity capital, restructure
or refinance its indebtedness, or revise or delay its strategic plan. The Company cannot assure you that it would be able to take
any of these actions on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all, that these actions would be successful and permit the
Company to meet its scheduled debt service obligations or satisfy its capital requirements, or that these actions would be permitted
under the terms of its existing or future debt agreements, including the Credit Agreement. In the absence of such operating results
and resources, the Company could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations
to meet its debt service and other obligations. The Credit Agreement restricts the Company’s ability to dispose of assets
and use the proceeds from the disposition. The Company may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain the proceeds
which it could realize from them and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due.
If
the Company cannot make scheduled payments on its debt, it will be in default and, as a result:
|
●
|
the
Company’s debt holders could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable;
|
|
●
|
the
lenders under the Credit Agreement could foreclose against the assets securing the borrowings from them and the lenders under
the Credit Agreement could terminate their commitments to lend it money; and
|
|
●
|
the
Company could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.
|
Despite
the Company’s indebtedness levels, the Company may be able to incur substantially more debt, including secured debt. This
could further increase the risks associated with its leverage.
The
Company may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of the Credit Agreement do not fully
prohibit it from doing so. To the extent that the Company incurs additional indebtedness, the risks associated with its substantial
indebtedness described above, including its possible inability to service its debt, will increase. As of December 31, 2019, the
Company had $13.9 million available for additional borrowing under the Credit Agreement, subject to a borrowing base and
a liquidity condition.
Variable
rate indebtedness subjects the Company to interest rate risk, which could cause its debt service obligations to increase significantly.
Certain
of the Company’s borrowings, primarily borrowings under the Credit Agreement, are at variable rates of interest and expose
the Company to interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $13.3 million of variable rate debt outstanding.
If interest rates increase, the Company’s debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even
though the amount borrowed remained the same, and its net income would decrease.

Nasdaq
may delist our securities from quotation on its exchange which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our
securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
Our
common stock and warrants are currently listed on Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to meet Nasdaq’s
listing standards with respect to our securities. If Nasdaq delists our common stock from trading on its exchange for failure
to meet the listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:
|
●
|
a
limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
|
|
●
|
reduced
liquidity with respect to our securities;
|
|
●
|
a
determination that our shares of common stock are “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our shares
of common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary
trading market for our shares of common stock;
|
|
●
|
a
limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and
|
|
●
|
a
decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

On
April 9, 2020, the Company received a letter (the “Determination Letter”) from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it
had not complied with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2, which requires that the Company meet the requirements
for initial listing after completion of the Business Combination. The Determination Letter states that the Company’s common
stock does not meet the minimum $4.00 bid price and the $15 million market value of publicly held shares requirements, which are
set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5505. The Company has requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which request has stayed
any further action by Nasdaq pending the conclusion of the hearing process. The Company will address the Determination Letter
at its hearing. There can be no assurance that the Company’s appeal will be successful.
The
National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating
the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because our common stock and warrants
are currently listed on Nasdaq, our common stock and warrants are covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating
the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud,
and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular
case. Further, if we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to
regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.
If
the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of
our securities may decline.
If
the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of
our securities may decline. Fluctuations in the price of our securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment.
Prior to the Business Combination, there was not a public market for Computex’s securities. Even if an active market for
our securities develops and continues, the trading price of our securities could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations
in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse
effect on your investment in our securities and our securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for
them. In such circumstances, the trading price of our securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.
Factors
affecting the trading price of our securities may include:
|
●
|
actual
or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to
be similar to us;
|
|
●
|
changes
in the market’s expectations about our operating results;
|
|
●
|
success
of competitors;
|
|
●
|
our
operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;
|
|
●
|
changes
in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning the Company or the IT industry in general;
|
|
●
|
operating
and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the Company;
|
|
●
|
our
ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;
|
|
●
|
changes
in laws and regulations affecting our business;
|
|
●
|
our
ability to meet compliance requirements;
|
|
●
|
commencement
of, or involvement in, litigation involving the Company;
|
|
●
|
changes
in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;
|
|
●
|
the
volume of shares of our common stock available for public sale;
|
|
●
|
any
major change in our board of directors or management;
|
|
●
|
sales
of substantial amounts of common stock by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception
that such sales could occur; and
|
|
●
|
general
economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations, acts
of war or terrorism and global health crises, including the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Broad
market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance.
The stock market in general, and Nasdaq in particular, have 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 the Company 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.
The
JOBS Act permits the Company to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public
companies that are not emerging growth companies for so long as the Company is an “emerging growth company.”
The
Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified
by the JOBS Act. As such, the Company is eligible for and intends to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies for as long as it continues to be an
emerging growth company, including (i) the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control
over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency
and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements and (iii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation
in its periodic reports and proxy statements. The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the
last day of the fiscal year in which the market value of its common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million
as of June 30 of that fiscal year, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which it has total annual gross revenue of
$1.07 billion or more during such fiscal year, (iii) the date on which it has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible
debt in the prior three-year period or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of
the first sale of its common stock in the IPO, which would be December 31, 2022. If the Company continues to expand its business
through acquisitions and/or continues to grow revenues organically, we may cease to be an emerging growth company prior to December 31,
2022.
In
addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the exemption from
complying with new or revised accounting standards provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act as long as such company
is an emerging growth company. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until
those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of such extended transition period,
which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies,
we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the same time private companies adopt the new or revised
standard. Investors may find our common stock less attractive because the Company will rely on these exemptions, which may result
in a less active trading market for our common stock and its stock price may be more volatile.
Our
management and their affiliates control a substantial interest in us and thus may influence certain actions requiring a stockholder
vote.
As
of April 28, 2020, our management and their affiliates beneficially own approximately 86.0% of our issued and outstanding
shares of common stock, including an aggregate of 18,787,253 shares underlying warrants and convertible debentures.
Accordingly, these individuals would have considerable influence regarding the outcome of any transaction that requires
stockholder approval. Furthermore, our board of directors is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve
for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. As a consequence of our
“staggered board,” only a minority of our board of directors will be considered for election in any given year
and our management and their affiliates, because of their ownership position, will have considerable influence regarding the
outcome of such elections.
We
may not be able to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
that are applicable to us.
As
a public company, we are required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, which require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual
management report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. To comply with the requirements of being
a public company, we are required to provide attestation on internal controls, and we may need to undertake various actions, such
as implementing additional internal controls and procedures and hiring additional accounting or internal audit staff. The standards
required for a public company under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those that were
required of Computex as a privately held company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and
procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that are applicable to us
after the Business Combination. If we are not able to implement the additional requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner
or with adequate compliance, the Company may not be able to assess whether its internal control over financial reporting is effective,
which may subject it to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of our common
stock. Further, as an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest
to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the date we are no longer
an emerging growth company. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse
in the event that it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating.
In
addition, our management and other personnel will need to continue to devote a substantial amount of time to compliance initiatives
applicable to public companies, including compliance with Section 404 and the evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting within the prescribed timeframe. In connection with the audit of Computex’s consolidated
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, certain material weaknesses and significant deficiencies
were identified in its internal control over financial reporting. The Company has begun the process of evaluating the adequacy
of its accounting personnel staffing level and other matters related to internal control over financial reporting to remediate
these deficiencies. The Company may discover additional deficiencies in existing systems and controls that it may not be able
to remediate in an efficient or timely manner.
Provisions
in our Charter and Bylaws and Delaware law may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing
to pay in the future for our common stock and could entrench management.
Our
Charter and Bylaws contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may consider to be
in their best interests. Our board of directors is divided into three classes, each of which serves for a term of three years
with only one class of directors being elected in each year. As a result, at a given annual meeting only a minority of the board
of directors may be considered for election. Since our “staggered board” may prevent our stockholders from replacing
a majority of our board of directors at any given annual meeting, it may entrench management and discourage unsolicited stockholder
proposals that may be in the best interests of stockholders. Moreover, our board of directors has the ability to designate the
terms of and issue new series of preferred stock.
We
are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law, which could delay or prevent a change of control. Together these
provisions may make more difficult the removal of management and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment
of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities.
Changes
in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, investments and
results of operations.
We
are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we are required to comply
with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult,
time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time
and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a
failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our
business and results of operations.
Our
Charter provides, subject to limited exceptions, that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive
forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial
forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or stockholders.
Our
Charter provides, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in our name, actions against directors,
officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in
the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented
to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel; provided that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to (i) suits
brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act, (ii) any other claim for which the federal courts have
exclusive jurisdiction, (iii) any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party
not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction
of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (iv) any claim which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction
of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or (v) any claim for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject
matter jurisdiction. Furthermore, our Charter also provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative
forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting
a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for
federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision with respect to suits
brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Stockholders will
not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Any person
or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and
consented to the forum provisions in our Charter.
This
choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable
for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect
to such claims, although our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with federal securities laws and the
rules and regulations thereunder. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our Charter
to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other
jurisdictions, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
Sales
of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that they might occur, could have
an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
As
of April 28, 2020, we had warrants to purchase an aggregate of 30,354,436 shares of common stock outstanding. In connection with
the IPO, we issued unit purchase options to purchase 1,350,000 units which, if exercised, will result in the issuance of up to
1,485,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 675,000 shares of common stock. Additionally, the PIPE
Debentures are convertible, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the holder thereof into that number of shares of
common stock calculated by dividing the principal amount being converted, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon,
by the applicable conversion price, and are subject to mandatory conversion under certain conditions, as described elsewhere in
this prospectus. To the extent such warrants, unit purchase options or PIPE Debentures are exercised or converted, as applicable,
additional shares of common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to our stockholders and increase the number of
shares of common stock eligible for resale in the public market. In addition, pursuant to the Incentive Plan, equity incentive
awards representing an aggregate of up to 5,794,500 shares of our common stock were available for issuance as of April 28, 2020.
Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the fact that the warrants, unit purchase options or PIPE
Debentures may be exercised or converted, as applicable, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock or on our
ability to obtain future financing.
Because
we have no current plans to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return
on investment unless you sell your common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.
We
may retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and have no current plans to pay any cash
dividends for the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends as a public company in the future will be made
at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition,
cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our
ability to pay dividends may be limited by covenants of any existing and future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries
incur. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in our common stock unless you sell your shares of common
stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.
Following
the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company has incurred and will continue to incur significant increased expenses
and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results
of operations.
Following
the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company has face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs
and expenses as a public company that Computex did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including the requirements
of Section 404, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations promulgated and to be promulgated thereunder, the PCAOB and the
securities exchanges, impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. Compliance with public company requirements
will increase costs and make certain activities more time-consuming. A number of those requirements will require the Company to
carry out activities Computex has not done previously. In addition, additional expenses associated with SEC reporting requirements
have been and will continue to be incurred. In connection with the audit of Computex’s consolidated financial statements
for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, certain material weaknesses and significant deficiencies were identified in its
internal control over financial reporting. The Company has begun the process of evaluating the adequacy of its accounting personnel
staffing level and other matters related to internal control over financial reporting to remediate these deficiencies. Furthermore,
if any issues in complying with those requirements are identified (for example, if the auditors identify additional material weaknesses
or significant deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting), the Company could incur additional costs rectifying
those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect the Company’s reputation or investor perceptions
of it. It may also be more expensive to obtain director and officer liability insurance. Risks associated with the Company’s
status as a public company may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on the board of directors
or as executive officers. The additional reporting and other obligations imposed by these rules and regulations will increase
legal and financial compliance costs and the costs of related legal, accounting and administrative activities. These increased
costs will require the Company to divert a significant amount of money that could otherwise be used to expand the business and
achieve strategic objectives. Advocacy efforts by stockholders and third parties may also prompt additional changes in governance
and reporting requirements, which could further increase costs.
Our
public stockholders at the time of the Business Combination who purchased their units in our initial public offering and who did
not exercise their redemption rights may pursue rescission rights and related claims.
Our
public stockholders may allege that some aspects of the Business Combination were inconsistent with the disclosure contained in
the final prospectus for our initial public offering of units, including the structure of the Business Combination. Consequently,
a public stockholder who purchased shares in the initial public offering (excluding the Initial Stockholders) and still held them
at the time of the Business Combination and who did not seek to exercise redemption rights might seek rescission of the purchase
of the units such holder acquired in the initial public offering. A successful claimant for damages under federal or state law
could be awarded an amount to compensate for the decrease in the value of such holder’s shares caused by the alleged violation
(including, possibly, punitive damages), together with interest, while retaining the shares. If public stockholders bring successful
rescission claims against the Company, our results of operations could be adversely affected and we may be required in connection
with the defense of such claims to incur expenses and divert employee attention from other business matters.
Future
issuances of any equity securities may dilute the interests of our stockholders and decrease the trading price of our common stock.
Any
future issuance of equity securities could dilute the interests of our stockholders and could substantially decrease the trading
price of our common stock. We may issue equity or equity-linked securities in the future for a number of reasons, including to
finance the Company’s operations and business strategy (including in connection with acquisitions and other transactions),
to adjust the Company’s ratio of debt to equity, to satisfy its obligations upon the exercise of then-outstanding options
or other equity-linked securities, if any, or for other reasons.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders.
MARKET
FOR OUR SECURITIES
Our
common stock and warrants are traded on Nasdaq under the symbols “AVCT” and “AVCTW,” respectively.
Our
units, common stock, warrants and rights were traded on Nasdaq under the symbols “WRLS,” “WRLSU,” “WRLSW”
and “WRLSR,” respectively, prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. On April 8, 2020, in connection
with the consummation of the Business Combination, all of the units separated into their component parts of one-half of one warrant
(each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share) and one
right to receive one-tenth of one share of common stock. The rights were converted into an aggregate of 3,105,000 shares of common
stock, and the rights and units ceased trading on Nasdaq.
As
of April 28, 2020, there were eleven holders of record of our common stock and four holders of record of our warrants. Such numbers
do not include beneficial owners holding our securities through nominee names.
DIVIDEND
POLICY
We
have not paid any cash dividends to date. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and
earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. The payment of any cash dividends will be within the discretion
of our board of directors at such time. In addition, our board of directors is not currently contemplating, and does not anticipate
declaring, any stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive
covenants contained in any of our existing or future indebtedness.
THE
BUSINESS COMBINATION
This
section describes the material provisions of the certain agreements entered into in connection with the Business Combination,
but does not purport to describe all of the terms of such agreements. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the complete text of such agreements, copies of which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part. Unless the context otherwise requires, “AVCT” refers to the registrant and the “Company”
refers to the registrant and its subsidiaries, including New Stratos and its subsidiaries, collectively, in each case after the
Closing, and “Pensare” refers to the registrant prior to the Closing.
Summary
of the Business Combination
On
February 27, 2020, Pensare held a special meeting of stockholders to approve the Business Combination, among other matters. Approval
of the Business Combination required the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock present and
entitled to vote at the special meeting. Pensare’s stockholders approved the Business Combination at the special meeting,
and the Business Combination was subsequently consummated on April 7, 2020.
On
the Closing Date, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement:
|
●
|
Stratos
merged with and into New Stratos, with New Stratos surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of AVCT, on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;
|
|
●
|
all
shares of Stratos common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective
Time”) were canceled;
|
|
●
|
all
shares of Stratos common stock held in the treasury of Stratos were canceled without any conversion thereof;
|
|
●
|
each
share of common stock of New Stratos issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into and
exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of New Stratos;
and
|
|
●
|
Holdings
received 8,189,490 shares of our common stock, which shares are being offered for resale or distribution from time to time
pursuant to this prospectus, and 20,000 PIPE Units.
|
Pursuant
to the Business Combination Agreement, as of the Closing Date and until the date on which Holdings or Navigation ceases to beneficially
hold an aggregate of 10% of (i) the shares of our common stock issued to Holdings as partial consideration for the Business Combination,
which shares are being offered for resale or distribution from time to time pursuant to this prospectus, and (ii) the shares of
our common stock underlying the PIPE Warrants and the PIPE Debentures issued to Holdings at the Closing (collectively, the “Designation
Shares”) (such period, the “Nomination Period”), Holdings (or if Holdings has been dissolved, Navigation) has
the right to nominate up to three individuals (each individual a “Holdings Designee”) for election to our board of
directors, subject to adjustment as described elsewhere in this prospectus, and we are obligated to nominate each Holdings Designee
for election as a director as part of the slate that is included in the proxy statement (or consent solicitation or similar document)
relating to the election of directors and to support the election of each Holdings Designee. See “Management—Designated
Directors.”
Following
the completion of the Merger, substantially all of AVCT’s assets and operations are held and conducted by New Stratos and
its subsidiaries, and AVCT’s only assets are all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in New Stratos. In connection
with the Closing, AVCT changed its name from “Pensare Acquisition Corp.” to “American Virtual Cloud Technologies,
Inc.” and New Stratos changed its name from “Tango Merger Sub Corp.” to “Stratos Management Systems, Inc.”
As a result of the consummation of the Merger, AVCT ceased to be a shell company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act,
as of the Closing Date.
Related
Agreements
Securities
Purchase Agreement
On
April 3, 2020, AVCT and the PIPE Investors entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors
agreed to purchase, and we agreed to sell to the PIPE Investors, the PIPE Units, each PIPE Unit consisting of (i) $1,000 in principal
amount of the PIPE Debentures and (ii) one PIPE Warrant to purchase 100 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per
whole share. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, we issued to the PIPE Investors approximately 43,169
PIPE Units at the Closing and may issue up to approximately 56,831 additional PIPE Units in the aggregate in one or more subsequent
closings through August 5, 2020.

the Closing, we issued to the PIPE Investors the PIPE Debentures having an aggregate principal amount of approximately $43.2 million
(including $3.0 million in aggregate principal amount issued as part of PIPE Units sold to MasTec, $20.0 million in aggregate
principal amount issued as part of PIPE Units issued to Holdings pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and
approximately $8.6 million in aggregate principal amount issued to the Sponsor as part of PIPE Units issued in exchange for the
cancellation of indebtedness previously incurred by the Company to the Sponsor). The PIPE Debentures bear interest at a rate of
10% per annum, payable quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter in the form of additional PIPE Debentures, except upon
maturity in which case accrued and unpaid interest is payable in cash. The entire principal amount of each PIPE Debenture, together
with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, is due and payable on the earlier of (i) such date, commencing on or after October 7,
2022, as the holder thereof, at its sole option, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company, demands
payment thereof and (ii) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the PIPE Debentures).
Each
PIPE Debenture is convertible, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the holder thereof into that number of shares
of our common stock calculated by dividing the principal amount being converted, together with all accrued but unpaid interest
thereon, by the applicable conversion price, initially $3.45. The conversion price is subject to customary adjustments for stock
dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and is also subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet”
basis, in the event of any issuances of common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, common stock
at a price below the then-applicable conversion price (subject to certain exceptions). The PIPE Debentures are subject to mandatory
conversion if the closing price of the common stock exceeds $6.00 for any 40 trading days within a consecutive 60 trading day-period,
subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions. The PIPE Debentures are subordinated to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined
in the PIPE Debentures), including indebtedness under the Credit Agreement.
PIPE
Warrants
At
the Closing, we issued to PIPE Investors the PIPE Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 4,316,936 shares of our common stock
(including PIPE Warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares, 856,561 shares, and 300,000 shares of our common stock issued to
Holdings, the Sponsor and MasTec, respectively, as part of the PIPE Units issued to them), at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.
The PIPE Warrants are exercisable at any time through the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. The number of shares issuable
upon exercise of each PIPE Warrant is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and
the like.
Guaranty
At
the Closing, New Stratos and each of its subsidiaries issued to the PIPE Investors the Guaranty, pursuant to which such entities
jointly and severally guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the PIPE Debentures.
Third
Amendment
Concurrently
with the Closing, the Company and Comerica Bank entered into the Third Amendment, pursuant to which AVCT and New Stratos were
added as borrowers under the Credit Agreement, and which amended certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, including changing
the maturity date of the loans under the Credit Agreement to December 31, 2020, and removing certain financial covenants.
Registration
Rights Agreement
Concurrently
with the Closing, AVCT, the Sponsor, the Initial Stockholders, Holdings and the other PIPE Investors entered into the Registration
Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement amended, restated and replaced the registration rights agreement entered into
by and among Pensare, the Sponsor and the Initial Stockholders on July 27, 2017. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement, the holders of certain of our securities, including the Founder Shares, the shares of common stock underlying the Private
Placement Warrants, and the shares of common stock underlying the securities issued in the PIPE, are entitled to certain registration
rights under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws with respect to such shares of common stock, including up
to eight demand registrations in the aggregate and customary “piggy-back” registration rights.
MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere
in this prospectus. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks,
uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations. Factors
that could cause such differences are discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly “Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”
Introduction
Pensare,
a blank check company, was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 7, 2016, for the purpose of entering into a merger,
share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with
one or more target businesses. Until the consummation of the Business Combination, we did not engage in any operations nor generate
any revenue.
On
August 1, 2017, we consummated our initial public offering of 27,000,000 units, and on August 4, 2017, the underwriters exercised
their over-allotment option in full resulting in an additional 4,050,000 units being issued. Each unit consisted of one share
of our common stock, one-half of one warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of our common
stock at a price of $11.50 per share, and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of our common stock. The units were
sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of $310,500,000.
On
April 7, 2020, we consummated the Business Combination, pursuant to which Stratos merged with and into New Stratos, with New Stratos
surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AVCT. Following the completion of the Merger, substantially all of AVCT’s
assets and operations are held and conducted by New Stratos and its subsidiaries, and AVCT’s only assets are all of the
issued and outstanding equity interests in New Stratos.
In
connection with the Closing, AVCT changed its name from “Pensare Acquisition Corp.” to “American Virtual Cloud
Technologies, Inc.” and New Stratos changed its name from “Tango Merger Sub Corp.” to “Stratos Management
Systems, Inc.” As a result of the consummation of the Merger, AVCT ceased to be a shell company, as defined in Rule 12b-2
of the Exchange Act, as of the Closing Date.

Key
Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations
The
following are key trends we believe are impacting our results of operations:
|
●
|
Increasing
acceleration of migration to the cloud. We expect the COVID-19 pandemic to accelerate cloud adoption not just as a technological
shift, but also as an operating model as companies recognize the limitations of their current environments and struggle with
the impact of the pandemic on their businesses today. We expect this shift to be dramatic and compress the adoption curve
from decades to just a few years as a result. The most immediate impact we believe is the massive shift to remote working
as millions of companies globally are transitioning to this new stay-at-home reality.1
|
|
●
|
Multi-cloud
strategy. Over the past several years, cloud architectures and cloud-enabled frameworks, whether public, private, or hybrid,
have become the core foundation of modern IT. In order to take advantage of this trend, we focus on assisting our customers
in assessing, defining, deploying, and managing private and hybrid clouds that align with their business needs. This strategy
leverages our strength in deploying private clouds, while also incorporating elements of the public cloud. By assessing our
clients’ applications, workloads, business requirements, etc., we deploy solutions that leverage the best available
technology platforms and consumption models. For example, we may build a private cloud solution to host mission critical applications,
while utilizing a public cloud solution for development, collaboration, or disaster recovery. Our cloud strategy is tightly
aligned with all our key strategic initiatives, including security, and digital workspace.
|
|
●
|
Need
for third-party services. We believe that customers are relying on third-party service providers, such as Computex Technology
Solutions, to manage significant aspects of their IT environment, from design, implementation, pre- and post-sales support,
to maintenance, engineering, cloud management, security operations, and other services.
|
|
●
|
Reduction
in the number of IT solutions providers. Our view is that customers are seeking to reduce the number of solutions providers
they do business with to improve supply chain and internal efficiencies, enhance accountability, improve supplier management
practices, and reduce costs. As a result, customers are looking to find IT solutions providers that can provide a whole suite
of solutions for their IT needs.

“Coronavirus Diary: the effects of Covid-19 on the cloud industry,” Information Age, April 16, 2020.
|
|
●
|
Lack
of sufficient internal IT resources at mid-sized and large enterprises, and scarcity of IT personnel in certain high-demand
disciplines. We believe that IT departments at mid-sized and large enterprises are facing pressure to deliver emerging
technologies and business outcomes but lack the properly trained staff and the ability to hire personnel with high in-demand
disciplines such as security and data analytics. At the same time the prevalence of security threats; increased use of cloud
computing, software-defined networking, new architectures, and rapid software development frameworks; the proliferation of
mobile devices and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies; and complexity of multi-vendor solutions, have made it difficult
for these departments to implement high-quality IT solutions.
|
|
●
|
Disruptive
technologies are creating complexity and challenges for customers and vendors. The rapid evolution of disruptive technologies,
and the speed by which they impact an organization’s technology platforms, has made it difficult for customers to effectively
design, procure, implement and manage their own IT systems. Moreover, increased budget pressures, fewer internal resources,
a fragmented vendor landscape and fast time-to-value expectations make it challenging for customers to design, implement and
manage secure, efficient and cost-effective IT environments. Customers are increasingly turning to IT solution providers such
as Computex Technology Solutions to implement complex IT offerings, including software defined infrastructure, cloud computing,
converged and hyper-converged infrastructures, big data analytics, and flash storage.
|
|
●
|
Increasing
sophistication and incidences of IT security breaches and cyber-attacks. Over the last several years, cyber-attacks have
become more sophisticated, numerous, and pervasive. Organizations are finding it increasingly difficult to effectively safeguard
their confidential and personal information from a constant stream of advanced threats, both internal and external. Moreover,
cyber-threats have shifted from uncoordinated individual efforts to highly coordinated and well-funded attacks by criminal
organizations and nation-state actors. For most organizations, it is no longer a matter of if a cyber-attack will occur; the
question is when and what impact it will have on the organization. We believe our customers are focused on all aspects of
cyber security, including information and physical security, intellectual property, and compliance requirements related to
industry and government regulations. To meet current and future security threats, enterprises must implement security controls
and technology solutions that leverage integrated services and products to help monitor, mitigate, and remediate security
threats and attacks.
|
|
●
|
Customer
IT decision-making is shifting from IT departments to line-of-business personnel. As IT consumption shifts from legacy,
on-premise infrastructure to agile “on-demand” and “as-a-service” solutions, customer procurement
decisions are shifting from traditional IT personnel to lines-of-business personnel, which is changing the customer engagement
model and types of consultative services required to fulfill customer needs. In addition, many of the services create recurring
revenue streams paid over time, rather than upfront revenue.

Year
Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2018
Sales:
Total
sales decreased from $154.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $85.7 million during the year ended December 31,
2019. Hardware sales decreased from $65.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $53.0 million during the year ended
December 31, 2019 due to a decrease in our IT hardware sales business primarily driven by reduced sales within the Communications
sector. Professional and managed services revenues increased from $25.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $26.5
million during the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was due to growth within Managed Services. Professional and managed
services mainly consist of Company managed services, professional services focused on cloud infrastructure and storage, security
solutions, and project management services. Software and Maintenance sales decreased from $63.6 million during the year ended
December 31, 2018 to $5.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to change in accounting for revenue in
2019 due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue for Contracts with Customers.
Cost
of Sales:
Cost
of sales decreased from $124.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $61.3 million during the year ended December
31, 2019. Cost of sales related to our hardware sales was $52.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $43.1
million during the year ended December 31, 2019, in line with the decrease in our IT hardware sales. Cost of sales related to
professional and managed services business increased from $16.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $17.7 million
during the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to increased managed services costs directly related to increase in managed
service sales. Cost of sales related to software and maintenance sales decreased from $55.5 million during the year ended
December 31, 2018 to $0.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to the adoption of the FASB’s ASC
Topic 606, Revenue for Contracts with Customers.
Gross
Profit:
Gross
profit decreased from $29.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $24.4 million during the year ended December 31,
2018. The decrease was due primarily to the decrease in gross profit attributable to our hardware sales and third-party software
and maintenance sales business, which decreased from $13.4 ($21.5 prior to adoption of ASC 606) million and $8.1 million during
the year ended December 31, 2018 to $9.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses:
Total
selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $30.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $28.0 million
during the year ended December 31, 2019. Selling and marketing expense slightly increased from $13.7 million during the year ended
December 31, 2018 to $14.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. The slight increase was primarily due to the continued
expansion in our marketing activities and the expansion of our sales network. Facilities expense increased from $1.8 million during
the year ended December 31, 2018 to $2.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 due to full year operating costs for
two office locations which operated only five months during 2018. General and administrative expenses decreased from $10.8 million
during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $7.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to non-recurring
restructuring expenses of $1.4 million incurred during the period ending December 31, 2018, reclassification of reduction of headcount
to Other Operating Expenses $0.8 million and reduced Depreciation and Amortization expenses of $0.4 million. Other operating expenses
increased from $4.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $4.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, due
to personnel reclassifications from General Administration offset by reduction in headcount due to synergies initiatives.
Interest
Expenses:
Interest
expense remained stable at $1.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019. This primarily reflects interest arising
from outstanding balance from our line of credit and our term notes payable.
Income
Tax Expense:
Provision
for income tax decreased from $0.1 million provision during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $0.03 million provision during
the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is mainly attributable to the increased operating loss for the period ending December
31, 2019.

December 31, 2018 due to the continued growth in our IT hardware sales business primarily driven by continued diversification
into verticals such as Financial Services, Healthcare, and Oil and Gas. Professional and managed services revenues increased from
$21.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $25.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was
primarily due to the acquisition of certain assets of Synetra, Inc. (“Synetra”) in August 2018. Professional and managed
services mainly consist of Company managed services, professional services focused on cloud infrastructure and storage, security
solutions, and project management services.
Cost
of Sales:

Financials Services and Healthcare industries. Cost of sales related to professional and managed services business increased from
$10.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $16.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due
to the Synetra transaction.
Gross
Profit:
Gross
profit increased from $28.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $29.9 million during the year ended December 31,

during the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018. General and administrative expenses increased from $10.2 million
during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $10.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to increased salaries
and wages due to the increase in the number of employees in 2018 as compared to 2017 and corporate restructuring costs incurred
in 2018. Other operating expenses increased from $2.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $4.2 million during the
year ended December 31, 2018, due to increased headcount related to the Synetra transaction.

Tax Expense:
Provision
for income tax decreased from $0.9 million provision in during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $0.1 million provision during
the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease is mainly attributable to the change in the federal statutory rate from 34% to

Loss:
As
a result of the foregoing, net loss increased from $1.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $1.9 million during
the year ended December 31, 2018.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash
Flows and Working Capital
Our
primary sources of liquidity have been funding from the issuance of term loans and availability of lines of credit, which have
historically been sufficient to meet our working capital and substantially all of our capital expenditure requirements.
We
have also entered into term loans with commercial banks and other parties from time to time. As of December 31, 2019, and December
31, 2018, we had outstanding loans in the amount of $7.1 million and $8.6 million, respectively, under term loan agreements with
Comerica Bank.
We
believe that our anticipated cash flows from operating activities and/or financial support from commercial banks will be sufficient
to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business for the next
12 months. We may, however, need additional cash resources in the future if we experience changes in business conditions or other
developments, or if we find and wish to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, capital expenditure or similar actions.
If we determine that our cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and cash equivalents we have on hand at the time, we may
seek to issue equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities, subject to existing obligations. The incurrence
of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations.
There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Net
cash provided by operating activities was $14.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $3.6 million during
the year ended December 31, 2018 and $5.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2019.
As
of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.02 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $0.3 million as of December 31, 2018 and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.7 million as of December
31, 2017.

Operating
Activities
Net
cash provided by operating activities was $5.3 million in 2019 compared to $3.6 million in 2018 and $14.5 million in 2017.
Net
cash provided by operating activities was $5.3 million in 2019. The principal items accounting for the difference between our
net loss and net cash used in operating activities in 2019 were a decrease in accounts payable of $19.7 million, depreciation
of $3.9 million, and amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets of $1.0 million. These items were partially offset by
an increase in accounts receivable of $25.2 million and a decrease in unearned revenues of $0.5 million.
Net
cash provided by operating activities was $3.6 million in 2018. The principal items accounting for the difference between our
net loss and net cash used in operating activities in 2018 were an increase in accounts payable of $19.3 million, depreciation
of $4.1 million, and amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets of $0.9 million. These items were partially offset by
a decrease in accounts receivables of $16.5 million and a decrease in unearned revenues of $3.2 million.
Net
cash provided by operating activities amounted to $14.5 million in 2017. The principal items accounting for the difference between
our net loss and net cash provided by operating activities in 2017 were an increase in unearned revenue of $7.8 million, depreciation
of $3.9 million, amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets of $1.8 million and increase in accounts receivables of
$2.3 million.
Investing
Activities
Net
cash used in investing activities was $0.9 million in 2019, $0.3 million in 2018 and $10.1 million in 2017.
Net
cash used in investing activities was $0.9 million in 2019, which was attributable to the acquisition of property and equipment
of $1.0 million, partially offset by $0.1 million of cash received arising from the sale and divestiture of assets no longer in
use.
Net
cash used in investing activities was $0.3 million in 2018, which was attributable to the acquisition of property and equipment
of $0.9 million, partially offset by $0.5 million of cash received arising from the Synetra transaction.
Net
cash used in investing activities was $10.1 million in 2017, which was due to the acquisition of property and equipment of $10.1
million, mostly related to the acquisition of Managed Service assets.
Financing
Activities
Net
cash used in financing activities was $4.6 million in 2019, $3.6 million in 2018 and $3.9 million in 2017.
Net
cash used in financing activities was $4.6 million in 2019, which was due to payments on notes payable of $2.6 million, a net
decrease in our line of credit of $1.7 million, and payments on capital lease obligations of $0.3 million.
Net
cash used in financing activities was $3.6 million in 2018, which was due to payments on notes payable of $1.7 million, a net
decrease in our line of credit of $1.4 million, and payments on capital lease obligations of $0.5 million.
Net
cash used in financing activities was $3.9 million in 2017, which was primarily attributable to payments on notes payable of $11.9
million, a net decrease in our line of credit of $1.1 million and payments on capital lease obligations of $0.5 million, partially
offset by proceeds from our notes payable of $10.0 million.
Capital
Expenditures
We
made capital expenditures of $1.0 million, $0.9 million, and $10.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and
2017, respectively. In these periods, our capital expenditures were mainly used to purchase servers, computers and other equipment
for our business. We will continue to make capital expenditures to meet the expected growth of our business and expect to continue
to incur capital expenditures in 2020 for equipment used in our after-sales service centers.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect liquidity, capital resources, market risk support
and credit risk support or other benefits.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign
Exchange Risk
We
conduct business primarily within the United States market and as such do not have a material exposure to currency fluctuations.
Interest
Rate Risk
We
have not been exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rates. However, we cannot provide assurance that we
will not be exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rate in the future.
Investments
in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities
may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce
less income than expected if interest rates fall.
Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
As
a company with less than $1.07 billion in revenue for its last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company”
pursuant to the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements
that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement
under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial
reporting. The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial
accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting
standards. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised
and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt
the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
Critical
Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
We
prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We continually evaluate these judgments and estimates
based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding
the future based on available information and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, which together form our basis for
making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component
of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require
a higher degree of judgment than others in their application.
The
selection of critical accounting policies, the judgments and other uncertainties affecting application of those policies and the
sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors that should be considered when reviewing
our financial statements. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used
in the preparation of our financial statements. You should read the following description of critical accounting policies, judgments
and estimates in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and other disclosures included in this prospectus.
Revenue
Recognition
We
adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which created Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Topic 606 (Topic 606) with a date of initial application of January 1, 2019. As a result, we changed our accounting policy
for revenue recognition as detailed below.
We
account 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. We evaluate the
following indicators amongst others when determining whether we are acting as a principal in the transaction and recording revenue
on a gross basis: (i) we are primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or service, (ii)
we have inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to
the customer and (iii) we have discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. If the terms of a transaction
do not indicate we are acting as a principal in the transaction, then we are acting as an agent in the transaction and the associated
revenues are recognized on a net basis.
We
recognize revenue once control has passed to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control
has passed to the customer: (i) we have a right to payment for the product or service, (ii) the customer has legal title to the
product, (iii) we have 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. Our products can be delivered to customers
in a variety of ways, including (i) as physical product shipped from our warehouse, (ii) via drop-shipment by the vendor or supplier
or (iii) via electronic delivery of keys for software licenses. Our shipping terms typically allow for us to recognize revenue
when the product reaches the customer’s location.
We
leverage drop-shipment arrangements with many of our vendors and suppliers to deliver products to our customers without having
to physically hold the inventory at our warehouses. We are the principal in the transaction and recognize revenue for drop-shipment
arrangements on a gross basis.
Revenue
Recognition for Hardware
Revenues
from sales of hardware products are recognized on a gross basis as we are acting as a principal in these transactions, with the
selling price to the customer recorded as Sales and the acquisition cost of the product recorded as Cost of Sales. We recognize
revenue from these transactions when control has passed to the customer, which is usually upon delivery of the product to the
customer.
In
some instances, the customer agrees to buy the product from us but requests delivery at a later date, commonly known as bill-and-hold
arrangements. For these transactions, we deem that control passes to the customer when the product is ready for delivery. We view
products ready for delivery when the customer has a signed agreement, significant risk and rewards for the products, the ability
to direct the assets, the products have been set aside specifically for the customer and cannot be redirected to another customer.
Revenue
Recognition for Software
Revenues
from most software license sales are recognized as a single performance obligation on a net basis as we are acting as an agent
in these transactions at the point the software license is delivered to the customer. Generally, software licenses are sold with
accompanying third-party delivered software support, which is a product that allows customers to upgrade, at no additional cost,
to the latest technology if new capabilities are introduced during the period that the software support is in effect. We evaluate
whether the software support is a separate performance obligation by assessing if the third-party delivered software support is
critical or essential to the core functionality of the software itself. This involves considering if the software provides its
original intended functionality to the customer without the updates, if the customer would ascribe a higher value to the upgrades
versus the up-front deliverable, if the customer would expect frequent intelligence updates to the software (such as updates that
maintain the original functionality), and if the customer chooses to not delay or always install upgrades. If we determine that
the accompanying third-party delivered software support is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software license,
the software license and the accompanying third-party delivered software support are recognized as a single performance obligation.
The value of the product is primarily the accompanying support delivered by a third-party and therefore we are acting as an agent
in these transactions and recognize them on a net basis at the point the associated software license is delivered to the customer.
Revenue
Recognition for Third-Party Services
We
are the agent in sales of third-party maintenance, software support and services as the third-party controls the service until
it is transferred to the customer. We recognize sales on a net basis equal to the selling price to the customer less the acquisition
cost. We recognize revenue from these sales when the customer and vendor accept the terms and conditions of the arrangement.
Revenue
Recognition for Managed and Professional Services
Our
professional services offerings include assessments, project management, and staging, configuration, and integration. The managed
service offerings range from monitoring and notification to a fully outsourced network management solution. In these arrangements,
we satisfy the performance obligations and recognizes revenue over time.
We
provide professional services under both time and materials and fixed price contracts. When services are provided on a time and
materials basis, we recognize revenues at agreed-upon billing rates as services are performed. When services are provided on a
fixed fee basis, we recognize revenues over time in proportion to our progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance
obligation.
In
arrangements for managed services, our arrangement is typically a single performance obligation comprised of a series of
distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service).
We typically recognize revenues from these services on a straight-line basis over the period services are provided, which is consistent
with the timing of services rendered.
Freight
and Sales Tax
We
present freight billed to customers within Sales and the related freight charged to us within Cost of Sales. We present sales
tax collected from customers and remittances to governmental authorities on a net basis.
Contract
Liabilities
We
recognize contract liabilities when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance obligations.
Costs
of Obtaining and Fulfilling a Contract
We
capitalize costs that are incremental to obtaining customer contracts, predominately sales commissions, and expense them in proportion
to each completed contract performance obligation. The costs are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the period
during which we fulfill our performance obligation.
Costs
associated with contracts where we have an obligation to perform services are incurred specifically to assist us in rendering
services to our customers and are recorded as deferred customer support contract costs at the time the costs are incurred. The
costs are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the period during which we fulfill our performance obligation.
Accounts
Receivable
We
grant credit to customers in the normal course of business. Accounts receivable are unsecured and are presented net of an allowance
for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based upon a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable
are past due, our previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations to us, and the condition
of the general economy and the industry as a whole. Payment is required 30 days after receipt of the invoice. Accounts more than
45 days past due are individually analyzed for collectability. When all collection efforts have been exhausted the accounts are
written off.
Inventory
Inventories
are valued at lower of average cost (which approximates first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Inventory consists
of purchased components for resale. Management evaluates the need for an inventory obsolescence reserve by identifying slow-moving
or obsolete inventory.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are carried at cost. Major additions and betterments are charged to the property accounts while maintenance and
repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed currently. Depreciation is computed based
on the cost of the asset, using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Definite
Lived Intangible Assets
Definite-lived
intangible assets arising from business combinations include customer relationships, trademarks and noncompetition agreements.
These intangible assets are amortized over the estimated period during which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly
to future cash flows.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
We
review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying amount of an asset
or asset group may not be recoverable. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount
of the asset or asset group to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset group. If the asset or
asset group is considered to be impaired, an impairment loss would be recorded to adjust the carrying amounts to the estimated
fair value.
Goodwill
Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, in December, or more frequently if a triggering event occurs between impairment
testing dates. We operate as a single operating segment and as a single reporting unit for the purpose of evaluating goodwill
impairment. Our impairment assessment begins with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more like than not that
fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The qualitative assessment includes comparing the overall financial
performance of the Company against the planned results used in the last quantitative goodwill impairment test. Additionally, our
fair value is assessed in light of certain events and circumstances, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations,
cost factors, and other relevant entity and company-specific events. The selection and assessment of qualitative factors used
to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value involves significant
judgment and estimates. If it is determined under the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value
of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then a two-step quantitative impairment test is performed. Under the first
step, the estimated fair value of the Company would be compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value
of the Company exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed. If the estimated fair value of the Company
is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists. and we would need to perform step two of the impairment
test. Under step two, an impairment loss would be recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of our goodwill over the implied
fair value of that goodwill. Fair value of the Company under the two-step assessment is determined using a combination of both
income and market-based approaches.

Recent
Developments
Effects
of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak
In
December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing
to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization
declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, U.S.
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare
community in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the COVID-19 outbreak
as a “pandemic.”
The
worldwide spread of the COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in a global slowdown of economic activity that is decreasing demand for
a broad variety of goods and services, including those of our customers, and which may disrupt their or our business operations
for an unknown period of time until the outbreak is contained and economic activity is restored. We expect this to have a potentially
negative impact on our business and our results of operations, the size and duration of which we are currently unable to predict.
Our liquidity could be negatively impacted if these conditions continue for a significant period of time and we may be required
to pursue additional sources of financing to obtain working capital, maintain appropriate inventory levels and meet our financial
obligations. Our ability to obtain any required financing is not guaranteed and largely dependent upon evolving market conditions
and other factors, including the terms of our existing debt agreements, including the Credit Agreement, as described further in
the risk factors contained herein. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Indebtedness.”
We
are actively working to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business and operations, including rapid and proactive
migration of our operations and our customers’ operations to remote working environments. The majority of our employees
are presently working remotely, and we are planning their return to their normal work locations in accordance with government
guidance and our evaluation of our ability to do so safely. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts our results
of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted,
including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, the longevity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain
COVID-19 or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The effects
of the COVID-19 outbreak on our operations may include delays in signing new contracts, changes in the nature of demand for our
services, restrictions on our operations and sales efforts and disruptions to our business activities as we migrate our operations
and our customers’ operations to remote working environments. Other factors that may negatively affect our financial results
could include: (i) our valuation of goodwill and the need for any impairment charges following a decline in our stock price; (ii)
events that affect our evaluation of contingent liabilities; (iii) our assessment of the need for tangible and intangible asset
impairment charges; and (iv) the impact on the calculation of our tax liabilities. Any one or more of these unanticipated adjustments
may have a material impact on our financial results.
Although
it is difficult to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business, it is likely that the impact
of COVID-19 will adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in fiscal year 2020. See “Risk
Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—The Company’s business could be adversely affected by the
recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.”
Paycheck
Protection Program Loan
On
April 13, 2020, the Company entered into a loan agreement and related documents (collectively, the “PPP Loan”) with
Comerica Bank under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief,
and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Company received
net proceeds of $4,134,600 from the PPP Loan. The proceeds from the PPP Loan will be used in accordance with the terms of the
CARES Act program, as described further below.
The
term of the PPP Loan is two years with an interest rate of 1.00% per annum, which shall be deferred for the first six months of
the term of the loan. Pursuant to the terms of the CARES Act, the proceeds of the PPP Loan may be used for payroll costs, mortgage
interest, rent or utility costs. The promissory note of the PPP Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other
things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, or provisions of the promissory note. The occurrence of an
event of default may result in a claim for the immediate repayment of the amount outstanding under the PPP Loan.
Under
the terms of the CARES Act, the Company can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan. Such forgiveness
will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act, as
described above, during the 8-week period after loan origination and the maintenance or achievement of certain employee levels.
No assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness under the PPP Loan in whole or in part.
BUSINESS
Introduction
Pensare,
a blank check company, was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 7, 2016, for the purpose of entering into a merger,
share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with
one or more target businesses. On April 7, 2020, we consummated the Business Combination, pursuant to which Stratos merged with
and into New Stratos, with New Stratos surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AVCT.
In
connection with the Closing, AVCT changed its name from “Pensare Acquisition Corp.” to “American Virtual Cloud
Technologies, Inc.” and New Stratos changed its name from “Tango Merger Sub Corp.” to “Stratos Management
Systems, Inc.” As a result of the consummation of the Merger, AVCT ceased to be a shell company, as defined in Rule 12b-2
of the Exchange Act, as of the Closing Date, and substantially all of AVCT’s operations are conducted by Computex.

an increase of $2.5 million over the $1.9 million net loss for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Industry
Overview
We
participate in an ever-changing global information and communications technology (“ICT”) market. As a result of COVID-19,
IDC estimates that worldwide ICT spending will grow by 3.4% in 2021 after a decline of 1.6% in 2020 to $4.1 trillion.2
Spending on telecom is estimated to grow by 0.5% in 2020, and a further 1.0% in 2021.3 Global IT spending (excluding
telecom) is expected to decline by 2.7% in 2020, driven largely by a significant -8.8% decline in spending on devices such as
PCs, tablets, and peripherals. Importantly, IDC estimates that despite the overall decline in IT spending in 2020, total infrastructure
spending (including cloud and spending on infrastructure as a service, or IaaS) will increase by 5.3%, and total spending on software
will increase by 1.7%, largely due to cloud investments.4
The
following are key trends we believe are impacting the ICT market, particularly in the U.S.:
|
●
|
Increasing acceleration
of migration to the cloud. We expect the COVID-19 pandemic to accelerate cloud adoption not just as a technological shift,
but also as an operating model as companies recognize the limitations of their current environments and struggle with the
impact of the pandemic on their businesses today. We expect this shift to be dramatic and compress the adoption curve from
decades to just a few years as a result. The most immediate impact we believe is the massive shift to remote working as millions
of companies globally are transitioning to this new stay-at-home reality.5
|

●
|
Multi-cloud strategy.
Over the past several years, cloud architectures and cloud-enabled frameworks, whether public, private, or hybrid, have
become the core foundation of modern IT. In order to take advantage of this trend, we focus on assisting our customers in
assessing, defining, deploying, and managing private and hybrid clouds that align with their business needs. This strategy
leverages our strength in deploying private clouds, while also incorporating elements of the public cloud. By assessing our
clients’ applications, workloads, business requirements, etc., we deploy solutions that leverage the best available
technology platforms and consumption models. For example, we may build a private cloud solution to host mission critical applications,
while utilizing a public cloud solution for development, collaboration, or disaster recovery. Our cloud strategy is tightly
aligned with all our key strategic initiatives, including security, and digital workspace.

|
●
|
Need for third-party
services. We believe that customers are relying on third-party service providers, such as Computex Technology Solutions,
to manage significant aspects of their IT environment, from design, implementation, pre- and post-sales support, to maintenance,
engineering, cloud management, security operations, and other services.
|
|
●
|
Reduction in
the number of IT solutions providers. Our view is that customers are seeking to reduce the number of solutions providers
they do business with to improve supply chain and internal efficiencies, enhance accountability, improve supplier management
practices, and reduce costs. As a result, customers are looking to find IT solutions providers that can provide a whole suite
of solutions for their IT needs.
|
|
●
|
Lack of sufficient
internal IT resources at mid-sized and large enterprises, and scarcity of IT personnel in certain high-demand disciplines.
We believe that IT departments at mid-sized and large enterprises are facing pressure to deliver emerging technologies
and business outcomes but lack the properly trained staff and the ability to hire personnel with high in-demand disciplines
such as security and data analytics. At the same time the prevalence of security threats; increased use of cloud computing,
software-defined networking, new architectures, and rapid software development frameworks; the proliferation of mobile devices
and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies; and complexity of multi-vendor solutions, have made it difficult for these departments
to implement high-quality IT solutions.
|
|
●
|
Disruptive technologies
are creating complexity and challenges for customers and vendors. The rapid evolution of disruptive technologies, and
the speed by which they impact an organization’s technology platforms, has made it difficult for customers to effectively
design, procure, implement and manage their own IT systems. Moreover, increased budget pressures, fewer internal resources,
a fragmented vendor landscape and fast time-to-value expectations make it challenging for customers to design, implement and
manage secure, efficient and cost-effective IT environments. Customers are increasingly turning to IT solution providers such
as Computex Technology Solutions to implement complex IT offerings, including software defined infrastructure, cloud computing,
converged and hyper-converged infrastructures, big data analytics, and flash storage.
|
|
●
|
Increasing sophistication
and incidences of IT security breaches and cyber-attacks. Over the last several years, cyber-attacks have become more
sophisticated, numerous, and pervasive. Organizations are finding it increasingly difficult to effectively safeguard their
confidential and personal information from a constant stream of advanced threats, both internal and external. Moreover, cyber-threats
have shifted from uncoordinated individual efforts to highly coordinated and well-funded attacks by criminal organizations
and nation-state actors. For most organizations, it is no longer a matter of if a cyber-attack will occur; the question is
when and what impact it will have on the organization. We believe our customers are focused on all aspects of cyber security,
including information and physical security, intellectual property, and compliance requirements related to industry and government
regulations. To meet current and future security threats, enterprises must implement security controls and technology solutions
that leverage integrated services and products to help monitor, mitigate, and remediate security threats and attacks.
|
|
●
|
Customer IT decision-making
is shifting from IT departments to line-of-business personnel. As IT consumption shifts from legacy, on-premise infrastructure
to agile “on-demand” and “as-a-service” solutions, customer procurement decisions are shifting from
traditional IT personnel to lines-of-business personnel, which is changing the customer engagement model and types of consultative
services required to fulfill customer needs. In addition, many of the services create recurring revenue streams paid over
time, rather than upfront revenue.

Competitive
Strengths
We
possess certain attributes that differentiate us as a leading provider of IT solutions in the United States. Our key competitive
strengths include:
Large
Addressable Market with Substantial Growth Opportunities Driven by Increasing IT Complexity
We
participate in the large IT market with a specific focus on the data center, network, cloud, security, virtualization, and emerging
segments of the industry, facilitated by our professional and managed service solutions. We believe we are well-positioned in
the complex high-growth IT solutions segment by offering services related to private, hybrid and public datacenter implementations,
cybersecurity management, incident response and remediation, SD-Wan, IOT and complex network projects.
Our
products and services target large enterprise companies, the roughly 37,000 middle market companies with revenues between $100
million and $2 billion, the approximately 96,000 state and local governmental organizations, large school districts, and the approximately
3,800 higher educational institutions in the U.S. Based on our experience, IT departments within these companies and organizations
are unable to provide the ever-increasing range of services to their end users, leading to an increased dependence on third-parties
who can provide complex, multi-vendor technology solutions, such as our Company.
In
the small to medium-sized business (“SMB”) segment, we believe there is a large demand for our services, estimated
at over $500 billion globally.6 We believe we will be able to use our other competitive advantages to capture a significant
portion of this new IT spend through our IT Sales and Managed Services.
Broad
and Diverse Customer Base Across a Wide Range of End Markets
We
have a broad and diverse customer base of over 1,700 customers across a wide range of end-markets, including oil and gas, financial
services, healthcare, education, state and local government, technology, retail, manufacturing and telecommunications. We are
not reliant on any single customer in any given year and customarily our top customers change from year to year.
Business
Model Serving Entire IT Lifecycle—Assessment, Design and Architecture solutions, Procurement, Implementation Solutions,
Professional and Managed Services and Security
We
believe we are a trusted IT advisor to our clients by delivering differentiated products and services to enable our customers
to meet increasingly complex IT requirements. We can provide complete, turn-key solutions aligned to the entire IT lifecycle starting
with assessment of the IT problems, designing and creating architecture solutions, helping with procurement of the required IT
solutions, assisting with implementation of such solutions and providing on-going professional and managed services and cyber-security.
Deep
Expertise in Advanced Technology to Address Cloud, Security, Digital Infrastructure and other Emerging IT Trends
We
believe our customers choose us for our complex IT infrastructure needs based on our track record of delivering top-tier solutions,
offering value-added services, and our close relationships with both established and emerging vendors. We focus on obtaining and
maintaining top-level engineering certifications for each of our strategic vendor’s most advanced technologies. We possess
more than 500 certifications, which we leverage to help our customers achieve positive business outcomes. For example, we received
our fourth Cisco Master Certification in July 2019. We are one of only 10 companies in the Americas, and one of only 16 companies
worldwide, that hold these four certifications. This is one example of our high level of technical expertise and commitment to
obtaining the industry’s highest level of certifications possible.

Strategic
Ability to Design and Integrate Cloud Solutions Across Multiple Vendors
We
believe our expertise in architecting data center and cloud environments allows us to provide differentiated offerings that help
our customers transition significant portions of their business—and sometimes all of their critical business workloads—to
the cloud. Combined with our strong foundations in networking and security, we are uniquely poised to help customers adopt a multi-cloud
strategy that utilizes our cloud cost management framework to help overcome the inherent challenges. We also leverage our strategic
partnerships with leading vendors such Cisco Systems, Nutanix, PureStorage, Amazon AWS, Dell EMC, Hewlett Packard Enterprise,
Microsoft Azure, NetApp, Palo Alto Networks, and VMware in conjunction with our professional, managed, and lifecycle services
to help our customers achieve their desired business outcomes.
Demonstrated
Ability to Gain Compliance Certifications and Protect Customer Information
We
believe our ability to work within compliance frameworks and gain certifications—like SSAE 18—give us a competitive
advantage. We believe our customers respect and trust our service offerings when they learn that we have completed a full SSAE
18 SOC 1 Type 1 audit. This certification means that we have documented our internal processes and procedures around securing
customer information. Customers can be confident that their information is secure when they see our SSAE 18 SOC 1 certification.
Our
Personnel Provides Scalable IT Service Delivery
We
believe that our Company has been properly constructed with the correct ratio of technical experts, sales experts, and operational
experts. More than two-thirds of our current employees are technical experts in their requisite fields, allowing us to customize
solutions for customers of all sizes. The engineering talent we possess, coupled with the wide range of IT solutions that our
talent covers, gives us a large competitive advantage around creating, implementing, and maintaining large-scale IT solutions.
Our Managed Services department also relies on this pool of engineers to solve the toughest IT challenges for our customers.
We
have an advantage over other IT service providers because all employees are full time employees and we do not rely on a pool of
independent contractors or other outsourced IT talent. We call this advantage in personnel “brainware” that differentiates
us from other IT service providers. We have trademarked the phrase “HARDWARE.SOFTWARE.BRAINWARE,” as a Company slogan
that explains to our customers how important our employees are in everything we accomplish. Our personnel focus on ensuring a
human component in every IT project in which we are involved, which results in creating meaningful long-term customer relationships.
Growth
Strategy
We
intend to execute a growth strategy that focuses on organic initiatives supplemented with acquisitions. These growth strategies
include:
Organic
Growth by Becoming Our Customers’ Primary IT Solutions Provider
We
seek to become the primary provider of IT solutions for each of our customers, regardless of whether those services are security,
on-premise, cloud, or managed services-based. We strive to provide excellent customer service, pricing, availability, and advanced
professional and managed services in an efficient manner. Our Managed Security Services offering further compliments our offerings
and provides customers a comprehensive solution as business technology continues to expand into more complex service offerings.
Our many experienced pre-sales engineers engage with customers about the most advanced technologies and use cases. Our account
executives are trained on our broad solutions capabilities with access to numerous category-focused subject matter experts, which
allows them to sell in a consultative business outcome-based manner that increases the likelihood of cross-selling our solutions;
our account executives are supported by experienced and professional inside sales representatives.
We
focus on gaining top-level engineering certifications and professional services expertise in advanced technologies of strategic
vendors. We go through rigorous vendor audits and certification processes every year that validate our capabilities. This expertise
helps our customers develop their cloud capabilities including private, public, and hybrid infrastructures. We believe our ability
to deliver advanced professional services provides benefits in two ways. First, we gain recognition from our strategic vendor
partners and become a preferred partner. This significantly increases direct and referral sales opportunities for our products
and services and allows us to offer competitive pricing levels. Second, within our existing and potential customer base, our advanced
professional services are a key differentiator against competitors who cannot provide products or advanced services for these
key technologies or across multiple vendor product lines.
Investment
in Scalable Managed Services
We
continue to invest in our highly profitable and scalable Managed Services. Through a prior acquisition, we were able to integrate
several recurring revenue customers into our platform. We have since allocated more resources to these acquired customers where
there are active engagements to grow these accounts and increase the per seat revenue. We also have invested in top tier security
talent where we have acquired penetration testers, threat hunters and SOC analysts to boost our managed security offering. We
have invested into a Security Operations Center that complements our Network Operations Center. We are now providing our customers
24x7x365 Managed Security Services such as managed advanced endpoint security, managed SIEM, security awareness and training programs.
Build
Our Geographic Footprint
We
intend to increase our direct sales and go-to-market capabilities. We actively seek to acquire new account relationships through
face-to-face field sales, electronic commerce, leveraging our partnerships with vendors, and targeted demand-generation activities
to increase awareness of our solutions. We also seek to expand our customer base and geographic reach and improve our technology
and professional services delivery offerings.
Recruit,
Retain, and Develop Employees
Based
on our prior experience, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of hiring experienced account executives and engineers,
make strategic acquisitions that expand our customer facing talent, expand our customer base and geographic reach, scale our existing
operating structure, and enhance our product and service offerings. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we hired 31 sales people
and engineers. Part of our future growth strategy is to hire purposefully and enhance our technical and skill base through strategic
acquisitions.
Improve
Operational Efficiencies
We
continue to invest in our internal technology infrastructure and software platforms to optimize our operations and engage in process
re-engineering efforts to become more streamlined and cost effective. Recently, we separated our Network Operations Center and
Security Operations Center into two separate, air gapped operational teams. The primary benefit of this action was to better secure
the information of our clients by preventing members of an operational team not working with a client from accessing such client’s
information.
Unique
Strategic Growth Opportunity with AT&T
In
July 2019, AVCT entered into a contract with AT&T and formally joined the AT&T Partner Exchange®, building on AVCT
management’s proven track record of generating over $11+ billion in services revenues with AT&T and on the strength
of the Computex infrastructure and platform. Our strategy following the Business Combination is to offer AT&T bundled, white-label,
white-glove managed services targeted at mid-market (100-1000 employees), multi-location business customers, with a particular
focus on offerings in the fast growing UCaaS industry. Our management believes that the AT&T relationship has the potential
to generate over $1 billion in cumulative revenues for the Company over the three years following the consummation of the Business
Combination, with annual projected revenues of $400 million or more and 40% or greater EBITDA margins.
Marketing
and Sales
We
focus our sales and marketing efforts on becoming the primary provider of IT solutions for each of our customers. We seek to acquire
new account relationships through face-to-face field sales, leveraging our partnerships with manufacturers and targeted direct
marketing to increase awareness of our solutions. We target large enterprise companies, the roughly 37,000 middle market companies
with revenues between $100 million and $2 billion, the over 96,000 state and local governmental organizations, larger school districts,
and the over 3,800 higher educational institutions in the U.S. We currently have over 1,700 customers.
Our
sales representatives are compensated by a combination of salary and commission, with commission becoming the primary component
of compensation as the sales representatives gain experience.
As
of December 31, 2019, our sales force consisted of 52 sales, marketing and sales support personnel.
Sales
Backlog
We
rely on our vendors and distributors to fulfill a large majority of our shipments to our customers. As of December 31, 2019, we
recorded customer commitments to purchase products or services that remain open until either executed or canceled (“open
orders”) of $6.6 million compared to December 31, 2018, when we had open orders of $9.2 million. We expect that most of
our open orders as of December 31, 2019, will be recognized within ninety days of that date.
Competition
The
market for IT solutions is highly competitive and fragmented, subject to macro-economic cycles and the entry of new competitors.
Additionally, the consolidation of existing market participants can create significantly larger competitors and is also affected
by disruptive technologies and other market activities of industry participants. We expect to continue to compete in all areas
of our business against any vendors and service providers. Some of our competitors are direct marketers with little value add
and sell products as commodities, which can place downward pressure on product pricing. In addition, many IT vendors may sell
or lease equipment directly to our customers, and our continued ability to compete effectively may be affected by the policies
of such vendors. We face indirect competition from potential customers’ internal development efforts and must overcome potential
customers’ reluctance to move away from legacy systems, processes, and solution providers. As IT consumption shifts from
IT personnel and legacy infrastructure to line-of-business based outcomes using off-premise, on-demand, and cloud solutions, the
legacy resale model is shifting from an upfront sale to a recurring revenue model.
Some
of our competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources than we do. In addition, some of these competitors
may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, technologies, and customer requirements. Many current and
potential competitors also engage in more extensive promotional marketing and advertising activities, offer more attractive terms
to customers, and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we do.
Intellectual
Property
We
do not maintain a traditional research and development group, but we do have trademarks, trade names, and registered domain names
that we consider important and protect. We have trademarked or submitted trademark applications that are pending for “Computex”,
“Computex Technology Solutions” and “HARDWARE.SOFTWARE.BRAINWARE.” We have also registered the trade name
“Computex Technology Solutions” and have registered several domain names such as “computex-inc.com”, “enetsolutions.net”
and “computex.net”.
Personnel
As
of December 31, 2019, we employed 184 employees who operated through more than 10 offices, home offices, and customer sites. No
employees are represented by a labor union, and we believe that we have good relations with our employees. The functional areas
of our employees are as follows:

We
currently maintain our principal executive offices at 1720 Peachtree Street, Suite 629, Atlanta, GA 30309, along with several
additional offices, all of which are leased. The additional office locations include:
|
●
|
Computex Headquarters
in Houston, Texas with approximately 18,450 square feet;
|

Minnesota.
|
We
believe our current facilities meet the needs of our employee base and can accommodate our currently contemplated growth. We believe
that we will able to obtain suitable additional facilities on commercially reasonable terms to meet any future needs.
Litigation
Other
than as indicated below, there is no material litigation, arbitration, governmental proceeding or any other legal proceeding currently
pending or known to be contemplated against any members of our management team in their capacity as such. In December 2019, a
lawsuit was filed against Pensare and its officers and directors by an investment bank, seeking payment of costs and expenses
allegedly incurred in connection with serving as placement agent in connection with a proposed business combination between Pensare
and U.S. TelePacific Holdings Corp., d/b/a TPx Communications that was mutually terminated prior to our pursuit of the Business
Combination. We dispute the claims and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.
We
are also involved in certain legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, based
on consultations with outside counsel, the results of any of these ordinary course matters, individually and in the aggregate,
are not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flow. As more information
becomes available, if we should determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable on a claim and that the amount of probable loss
that we will incur on the claim is reasonably estimable, we will record an accrued expense for the claim in question. If and when
we record such accrual, it could be material and could adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition, and cash
flows.
Governmental
Regulations
Our
operations are subject to numerous U.S. laws and regulations in a number of areas including, but not limited to, areas of labor
and employment, immigration, advertising, e-commerce, tax, import and export requirements, data privacy requirements, anti-competition,
and environmental, health, and safety. We have implemented policies and procedures designed to help comply with applicable laws
and regulations. We strive to stay up to date on any new laws or regulations that appear that affect the Company or our customers
in order to provide custom IT solutions that comply with such laws and regulations.
UNAUDITED
PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the year ended December
31, 2018 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of Pensare and the historical consolidated financial statements
of operations of Computex, giving effect to the following transactions (for purposes of this section, collectively, the “Transactions”)
as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2018, the beginning of the earliest period presented.
We
derived the pro forma information of Computex for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 from the audited consolidated financial
statements of Computex for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 included elsewhere in this prospectus. The unaudited condensed
statement of operations information of Pensare for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 is derived by adding
Pensare’s unaudited condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 to the audited
statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 included elsewhere in this prospectus and subtracting Pensare’s
unaudited condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Upon
consummation of the Merger, we issued to Holdings an aggregate of 8,189,490 shares of our common stock. The aggregate value of
the consideration issued to Holdings in exchange for the equity of Stratos is approximately $61.2 million as follows:
|
●
|
$20.0
million in convertible debt
|
|
●
|
$16.6
million in assumed debt
|
|
●
|
$24.6
million in equity (8,189,490 shares of our common stock valued at $3 per share)
|
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 combines the historical condensed balance sheet of
Pensare and the historical consolidated balance sheet of Computex, giving effect to the Business Combination as if they had been
consummated on December 31, 2019.
The
combined financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give pro
forma effect to events that are: (i) directly attributable to the Business Combination; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii)
with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the Company’s results following the
completion of the Business Combination.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been developed and should be read in conjunction with:

Our
public stockholders redeemed, upon several extension dates, 30,879,523 shares of our common stock then held for them for cash
equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit (as of two days prior to each extension date) in the Trust
Account. Additionally, our public stockholders, redeemed, upon the Closing, an additional 91,637 shares of our common stock held
for them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount remaining on deposit (as of two days prior to the Closing)
in the Trust Account. The additional shares were redeemed at a price of $10.96 for a total redemption payment of $1,004,728.
AVCT
entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, and we agreed to sell
to the PIPE Investors, the PIPE Units, each PIPE Unit consisting of (i) $1,000 in principal amount of the PIPE Debentures and
(ii) one PIPE Warrant to purchase 100 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per whole share.
The
Company determined the common stock purchase price of $3.00 per share in an arm’s length negotiation.
Based
on the information available to us thus far, we have determined that the PIPE Warrants should be treated in accordance with Accounting
Standard Codification (ASC) ASC-815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC-815”). As such, the PIPE Warrants have been included
in equity using their estimated fair value.
At
the Closing, 43,169 PIPE Warrants were issued which upon exercise represent 4,316,936 shares of our common stock. The PIPE Warrants
were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which incorporates a variety of assumptions. To determine the time to maturity,
the Company assumed 98 days, which represents the period from December 31, 2019 (the pro forma balance sheet date) through April
7, 2020 (the consummation of the Business Combination). The Company assumed a stock price volatility rate of 20%, and also conducted
a sensitivity analysis, with a volatility range from 10%-500%, noting that a change in volatility had no effect on the call price.
The Company assumed an exercise price of $0.01, which is the expected exercise price. The Company assumed an interest rate of
1.57%, which represents the 3-month treasury yield at December 31, 2019. The Company assumed a stock price of $3.00 because the
Company agreed with the PIPE Investors to sell shares of common stock at this price at the time of the Business Combination. Based
upon the foregoing assumptions, the Company arrived at a call value of $2.99. The resulting value of $9.99 million is treated
as a debt discount and netted against the carrying value of the of the convertible debt.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the acquisition of Computex under
the Business Combination Agreement has been accounted for as a forward merger under the acquisition method in accordance with
GAAP. Under this method of accounting, New Stratos will be incorporated, Computex will be treated as the acquired company and
AVCT will be treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on no individual
or group of owners having over 50% voting interest post-Transactions, Computex operations comprising the ongoing operations of
the Company, and the management team and board of Pensare being comprised of the majority of the management team and board of
the Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the acquisition will be treated as the equivalent of AVCT issuing stock and
debt for the net assets of Computex.
The
acquisition method of accounting is based on FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and uses the fair value
concepts defined in FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). ASC 805 requires, among other things, that
assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date by AVCT, who was determined
to be the accounting acquirer.
Under
ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted
for as expenses in the periods in which such costs are incurred, or if related to the issuance of debt, capitalized as debt issuance
costs. Acquisition-related transaction costs expected to be incurred as part of the Business Combination, include estimated fees
related to the issuance of long-term debt, as well as advisory, legal and accounting fees.
Assumptions
and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements
are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for
illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have
been achieved had the Business Combination and the other related Transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement
occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements do not purport to project the
future operating results or financial position of the Company following the completion of the Business Combination and the other
related Transactions. The unaudited proforma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available
as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information
becomes available and analyses are performed.
On
April 7, 2020, subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, our board of directors by written consent changed AVCT’s
year-end to December 31 to conform with Computex’s financial year-end.

NOTES
TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in
thousands, except share and per share data)
Note
1. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
Overview
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared assuming the Business Combination is accounted
for using the acquisition method of accounting with AVCT as the acquiring entity and Computex as the acquiree. Under the acquisition
method of accounting, AVCT assets and liabilities will retain their carrying amounts and the assets and liabilities of Computex,
will be recorded at their fair values measured as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated
fair values of net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill. The pro forma adjustments have been prepared as if the Business
Combination and the other related transactions had taken place on December 31, 2019 in the case of the unaudited pro forma condensed
combined balance sheet and on January 1, 2018 in the case of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statements.
The
acquisition method of accounting is based on Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification
(“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and uses the fair value concepts defined in FASB ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed
be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date by Pensare, who was determined to be the accounting acquirer.
Under
ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted
for as expenses in the periods in which such costs are incurred, or if related to the issuance of debt, capitalized as debt issuance
costs. Acquisition-related transaction costs expected to be incurred as part of the business combination, include estimated fees
related to the issuance of long-term debt, as well as advisory, legal and accounting fees.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with (i) Pensare’s historical
financial statements and related notes for the period from April 7, 2016 (inception) to March 31, 2017, for the years ended March
31, 2018 and 2019 and, for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, (ii) Computex’s audited consolidated financial
statements and related notes for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and (iii) “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included elsewhere in this prospectus.
The
pro forma adjustments represent our management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of this prospectus
and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. The unaudited pro
forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect possible adjustments related to restructuring or integration activities
that have yet to be determined or transaction or other costs following the Business Combination that are not expected to have
a continuing impact. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect additional costs
and expenses that the Company may incur as a public company (other than those incurred by New Stratos and reflected in the unaudited
pro forma condensed combined financial statements). Further, one-time transaction-related expenses anticipated to be incurred
prior to, or concurrent with, closing the Business Combination and the other related transactions are not included in the unaudited
pro forma condensed combined income statements. However, the impact of such transaction expenses is reflected in the unaudited
pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as a decrease to retained earnings and a decrease to cash, unless otherwise noted.
Pursuant
to the Business Combination Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be received by Holdings is subject to adjustment based on
a Company Financing Adjustment, based on net working capital and debt. Based on the closing net working capital of company, and
in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the aggregate consideration received by Holdings was adjusted
downward by $0.6 million, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared on that basis
and include the results of the interim financing as a pro forma adjustment.
Note
2. Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price
The
total purchase consideration for the Business Combination has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for
purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information based on their estimated relative fair values. The
allocation of the purchase consideration herein is preliminary. The final allocation of the purchase consideration for the Business
Combination will be determined after the completion of a thorough analysis to determine the fair value of all assets acquired,
liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest but in no event later than one year following the completion of the Business
Combination.
Accordingly,
the final acquisition accounting adjustments could differ materially from the preliminary amounts presented in these unaudited
pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
Any
increase or decrease in the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest, as compared to
the information shown herein, could also change the portion of the purchase consideration allocable to goodwill and could impact
the operating results of the Company following the Business Combination due to differences in the allocation of the purchase consideration,
depreciation and amortization related to some of these assets and liabilities. The purchase consideration was preliminarily allocated
as follows:

The
estimated value of the equity consideration paid, or deemed paid, to Holdings includes shares of our common stock with an estimated
fair value of approximately $24,568,000. The estimated value of the aggregate equity consideration to be issued to Holdings of

used.

Designated
Directors
Pursuant
to the Business Combination Agreement, during the Nomination Period, Holdings (or if Holdings has been dissolved, Navigation)
has the right to nominate up to three Holdings Designees for election to our board of directors, subject to adjustment as described
below, and we are obligated to nominate each Holdings Designee for election as a director as part of the slate that is included
in the proxy statement (or consent solicitation or similar document) relating to the election of directors and to support the
election of each Holdings Designee.
As
of the Closing, Holdings’ initial Holdings Designees were Messrs. Haffar, Downs and Mock. During the Nomination Period,
if a Holdings Designee ceases to serve as a director for any reason, Holdings (or if Holdings has been dissolved, Navigation)
has the right to appoint another individual to fill such vacancy. During the Nomination Period, if Holdings or Navigation ceases
to beneficially hold at least 50% of the Designation Shares, for the remainder of the Nomination Period the number of Holdings
Designees will be reduced to two, and if Holdings or Navigation ceases to beneficially hold at least 30% of the Designation Shares,
for the remainder of the Nomination Period the number of Holdings Designees will be reduced to one.
Number
and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
Our
board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving
a three-year term. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Ellis, Krapek and Lockhart and
Dr. Baks, will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting
of Ms. Shank and Messrs. Mays and Mock, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office
of the third class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Downs and Haffar, will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders
following the effectiveness of the Charter.
Our
officers are elected by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific
terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our Bylaws as it deems appropriate.
Our Bylaws provide that our officers may consist of a Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial
Officer, Secretary and such other officers (including, without limitation, Vice Presidents, Assistant Secretaries and a Treasurer)
as may be determined by the board of directors.
Director
Independence
Nasdaq
listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined
generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship
which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent
judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Ellis, Krapek,
Lockhart, Baks and Ms. Shank are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards.
Committees
of the Board of Directors
Our
board of directors has three standing committees: an audit committee, a nominating committee and a compensation committee.
Audit
Committee
We
have an audit committee comprised of Messrs. Lockhart and Baks and Ms. Shank, each of whom is an independent director.
Mr. Lockhart serves as the Chairman of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee is financially literate, and
our board of directors has determined that Mr. Lockhart qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as
defined in applicable SEC rules because he meets the requirement for past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite
professional certification in accounting or comparable experience. The responsibilities of our audit committee, which are specified
in our Audit Committee Charter, include:
|
●
|
reviewing
and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the
board whether the audited financial statements should be included in our Form 10-K;
|
|
●
|
discussing
with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the
preparation of our financial statements;
|
|
●
|
discussing
with management major risk assessment and risk management policies;
|
|
●
|
monitoring
the independence of the independent auditor;
|
|
●
|
verifying
the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner
responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;
|
|
●
|
reviewing
and approving all related-party transactions;
|
|
●
|
inquiring
and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
|
|
●
|
pre-approving
all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms
of the services to be performed;
|
|
●
|
appointing
or replacing the independent auditor;
|
|
●
|
determining
the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management
and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related
work;
|
|
●
|
establishing
procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting
controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies; and
|
|
●
|
approving
reimbursement of expenses incurred by our management team in identifying potential target businesses.
|
Nominating
Committee
Our
nominating committee consists of Messrs. Lockhart and Krapek and Ms. Shank, each of whom is an independent director
under Nasdaq’s listing standards. The nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be
nominated to serve on our board of directors. The nominating committee considers persons identified by its members, management,
stockholders, investment bankers and others.
The
guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in our Nominating Committee Charter, generally provide that persons to
be nominated:
|
●
|
should
have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service;
|
|
●
|
should
possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the board of directors
and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and
|
|
●
|
should
have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of our
stockholders.
|
The
nominating committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background, integrity
and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The nominating committee
may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise
from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of
board members. The nominating committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons.
Compensation
Committee
Our
compensation committee consists of Messrs. Ellis, Baks and Krapek, each of whom is an independent director under Nasdaq’s
listing standards. The compensation committee’s duties, which are specified in our Compensation Committee Charter, include,
but are not limited to:
|
●
|
reviewing
and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation,
evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving
the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer’s based on such evaluation;
|
|
●
|
reviewing
and approving the compensation of all of our other executive officers;
|
|
●
|
reviewing
our executive compensation policies and plans;
|
|
●
|
implementing
and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;
|
|
●
|
assisting
management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
|
|
●
|
approving
all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers
and employees;
|
|
●
|
if
required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and
|
|
●
|
reviewing,
evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.
|
Code
of Ethics and Committee Charters
We
have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. We have filed a copy of our Code of Ethics,
our Audit Committee Charter, our Nominating Committee Charter and our Compensation Committee Charter as exhibits to our registration
statement for our initial public offering. You will be able to review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s
web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us in writing
at 1720 Peachtree Street, Suite 629, Atlanta, GA 30309 or by telephone at (404) 239-2863. We intend to disclose any amendments
to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a current report on Form 8-K.
CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
In
May 2016, the Sponsor purchased 10,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $11.00. In May 2017, the
Sponsor and certain other persons purchased an aggregate of 7,177,500 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price
of $24,990 in cash, or approximately $0.0035 per share. In June 2017, the Sponsor transferred 1,575,000 Founder Shares to MasTec
for the same purchase price originally paid for such shares. In July 2017, the Sponsor transferred 27,000 Founder Shares to each
of our independent directors, and we effected a stock dividend with respect to our common stock of 575,000 shares thereof, resulting
in our Initial Stockholders holding an aggregate of 7,762,500 Founder Shares.
Simultaneously
with the closing of our initial public offering and the over-allotment option, the Sponsor, MasTec and EBC purchased from us an
aggregate of 10,512,500 Private Placement Warrants for a total purchase price of $10,512,500, each in a private placement. Each
Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase of one share of common stock at $11.50 per share. Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company deposited the purchase price into the Trust Account simultaneously with the consummation of the initial
public offering. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the units in our initial public
offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants: (i) will not be redeemable by us and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on
a cashless basis, so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees.
On
April 3, 2020, AVCT and the PIPE Investors entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors
agreed to purchase, and we agreed to sell to the PIPE Investors, the PIPE Units, each PIPE Unit consisting of (i) $1,000 in principal
amount of the PIPE Debentures and (ii) one PIPE Warrant to purchase 100 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per
whole share. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, we issued to the PIPE Investors approximately 43,169
PIPE Units at the Closing and may issue up to approximately 56,831 additional PIPE Units in the aggregate in one or more subsequent
closings through August 5, 2020. Certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates were issued PIPE Units as follows:
|
●
|
Holdings
received 20,000 PIPE Units as partial consideration for the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination
Agreement;
|
|
●
|
The
daughter of Mr. Mays purchased 250 PIPE Units pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement;
|
|
●
|
Mr.
Ellis purchased 250 PIPE Units pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement;
|
|
●
|
Nobadeer
LP, an entity controlled by Mr. Mock, purchased 500 PIPE Units pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement; and
|
|
●
|
The
Sponsor received 8,565.61 PIPE Units in exchange for in exchange for the cancellation of indebtedness previously incurred
by the Company to the Sponsor.
|
At
the Closing, we issued to the PIPE Investors the PIPE Debentures having an aggregate principal amount of approximately $43.2 million
(including $3.0 million in aggregate principal amount issued as part of PIPE Units sold to MasTec, $20.0 million in aggregate
principal amount issued as part of PIPE Units issued to Holdings pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and
approximately $8.6 million in aggregate principal amount issued to the Sponsor as part of PIPE Units issued in exchange for the
cancellation of indebtedness previously incurred by the Company to the Sponsor). The PIPE Debentures bear interest at a rate of
10% per annum, payable quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter in the form of additional PIPE Debentures, except upon
maturity in which case accrued and unpaid interest is payable in cash. The entire principal amount of each PIPE Debenture, together
with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, is due and payable on the earlier of (i) such date, commencing on or after October 7,
2022, as the holder thereof, at its sole option, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company, demands
payment thereof and (ii) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the PIPE Debentures).
Each
PIPE Debenture is convertible, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the holder thereof into that number of shares
of our common stock calculated by dividing the principal amount being converted, together with all accrued but unpaid interest
thereon, by the applicable conversion price, initially $3.45. The conversion price is subject to customary adjustments for stock
dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and is also subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet”
basis, in the event of any issuances of common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, common stock
at a price below the then-applicable conversion price (subject to certain exceptions). The PIPE Debentures are subject to mandatory
conversion if the closing price of the common stock exceeds $6.00 for any 40 trading days within a consecutive 60 trading day-period,
subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions. The PIPE Debentures are subordinated to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined
in the PIPE Debentures), including indebtedness under the Credit Agreement.
At
the Closing, we issued to PIPE Investors the PIPE Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 4,316,936 shares of our common stock
(including PIPE Warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares, 856,561 shares, and 300,000 shares of our common stock issued to
Holdings, the Sponsor and MasTec, respectively, as part of the PIPE Units issued to them), at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.
The PIPE Warrants are exercisable at any time through the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. The number of shares issuable
upon exercise of each PIPE Warrant is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and
the like.
Computex
was party to a Management Services Agreement, effective February 13, 2012, with Navigation Capital Partners, Inc.
(“Management Services Agreement”), a private equity management company owned by Mr. Mock and affiliated with
Navigation. Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, Navigation Capital Partners, Inc. provided advisory and management
services as requested by Computex. As compensation for such advisory and management services, Computex paid Navigation
Capital Partners, Inc. an annual management fee equal to $300,000. The Management Services Agreement was terminated in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination.
Related
Party Policy
Our
Code of Ethics requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential
conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions
are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be to exceed $120,000 in any calendar
year, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee
for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our shares of common stock, or (c) immediate family
member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other
than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation
can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively.
Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result
of his or her position.
Our
audit committee, pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter, will be responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions
to the extent we enter into such transactions. The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether
to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable to us than
terms generally available from an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related
party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he is a related
party, but that director is required to provide the audit committee with all material information concerning the transaction.
We also require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire
that elicits information about related party transactions.
These
procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents
a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.
EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION
Pensare
Prior
to the consummation of the Business Combination, no executive officer of Pensare received any cash compensation for services rendered
to us. We entered into a Strategic Services Agreement with John Foley, our former Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to which we
agreed to pay Mr. Foley consulting fees of $500 per hour for any hours of consulting services provided by Mr. Foley
in excess of ten hours per month. The Strategic Services Agreement had an initial term of two years commencing on July 27, 2017,
subject to earlier termination by either party. Mr. Foley also received a grant of profits interests in the Sponsor. We were
obligated to make the same payments to our Special Advisors pursuant to Strategic Services Agreements we entered into with each
of them, and each of our Special Advisors and Dr. Willis also received a grant of profits interest in the Sponsor.
The
profits interests in the Sponsor that were granted to Dr. Willis, Mr. Foley and our Special Advisors are Class B
Membership Units in the Sponsor that were assigned to such individuals by Mr. Mays, who holds the remaining Class B
Membership Units. The value of these profits interests, if any, will be wholly dependent on the value of the Founder Shares and
the Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor. The holders of the Class B Membership Units will be entitled to receive
distributions from the Sponsor, which may consist of a portion of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants or the proceeds
obtained by the Sponsor upon the sale thereof, to the extent available after the holders of Class A Membership Units in the
Sponsor shall have received distributions equal to a multiple of their initial capital contributions in the Sponsor. Accordingly,
the value of the profits interests is related to our performance, because if the prices of our shares and warrants increase, the
value of the profits interests will increase (assuming that the holders of Class A Membership Units have received the full
amount of distributions payable to them). The profits interests (or, in the case of Dr. Willis and Mr. Panton, a portion
of the profits interests) are subject to partial forfeiture if the recipient ceases providing services to us prior to the first
anniversary of the consummation of the Business Combination, or if the value of the distributions received by the recipient on
account of such profits interests would exceed a specified value.
Commencing
on July 27, 2017, through the consummation of the Business Combination, we paid the Sponsor an aggregate fee of up to $20,000
per month for providing us with office space and certain office and secretarial services. However, this arrangement was solely
for our benefit and was not intended to provide our executive officers or directors compensation in lieu of a salary.
Other
than the administrative fee of up to $20,000 per month, the compensation paid to Mr. Foley pursuant to the Strategic Services
Agreement described above and the repayment of any loans made by the Sponsor to us, no compensation or fees of any kind, including
finder’s, consulting fees and other similar fees, were paid to the Sponsor, members of our management team or their respective
affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. However, they received
repayment of any loans from the Sponsor, officers and directors for working capital purposes and reimbursement for any out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by them in connection with activities on our behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses, performing
business due diligence on suitable target businesses and business combinations as well as traveling to and from the offices, plants
or similar locations of prospective target businesses to examine their operations. There was no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket
expenses reimbursable by us.

of the first tranche of the retention bonus is a lump sum equal to the net sale proceeds of the first 50% of a Named
Executive Officer’s Reserved Shares that are sold on or before the Retention Date. The second tranche of the retention
bonus is payable within 30 days following the Retention Date but payment is conditioned upon the Named Executive Officer
remaining continuously employed with New Stratos throughout the one-year period following the Closing Date or otherwise if
the Named Executive Officer is involuntarily terminated without cause, voluntarily terminates for good reason, or dies while
employed with New Stratos before the Retention Date. The amount of the second tranche of the retention bonus is a lump sum
equal to the net sale proceeds of the second 50% of a Named Executive Officer’s Reserved Shares that are sold on or
before the Retention Date. If any portion of a Named Executive Officer’s Reserved Shares are not sold on or before the
Retention Date, no bonus is payable with respect to those Reserved Shares and instead Holdings will transfer the unsold Reserved Shares to the Named Executive Officer as soon as practicable following
the Retention Date subject to the Named Executive Officer having otherwise satisfied the requirements to receive payment with
respect to those Reserved Shares. 83,333 Reserved Shares are set aside for Jesus
Perez’s retention bonus, 166,667 Reserved Shares are set aside for Faisal Bhutto’s retention bonus and 166,667
Reserved Shares are set aside for Worth Davis’s retention bonus.
Severance
Benefits Agreements
Pursuant
to severance benefits agreements, certain Named Executive Officers are eligible to receive severance payments and benefits upon
termination of employment from New Stratos under certain circumstances. In addition to accrued but unpaid base salary, unpaid
vacation, and reimbursement of business expenses, if the Named Executive Officer is terminated involuntarily without cause, voluntarily
for good reason, or due to death or disability the Named Executive Officers will vest in all unvested equity awards and are eligible
to receive reimbursements of premiums for COBRA continuation coverage for up to 12 months and an additional cash severance
amount, 1/12 of which is payable in monthly installments over 12 months following the termination of employment. Jesus Perez’s
severance amount is $375,000, Faisal Bhutto’s severance amount is $415,000, and Worth Davis’s severance amount is
$415,000.
Employment
Agreements
Executive
Employment Agreement—Faisal Bhutto
eNETsolutions,
L.L.C., a subsidiary of New Stratos, entered into an executive employment agreement with Faisal Bhutto when he was hired as Vice
President—Corporate Strategy. The employment agreement provides for an initial term of two years (which initial term ended
on March 5, 2016), and automatically renews thereafter for successive one-year terms unless terminated by eNETsolutions,
L.L.C. prior to the commencement of a renewal term. The employment agreement provides for an initial base salary of $250,000 per
year, subject to annual discretionary increases. Mr. Bhutto is also eligible to participate in any employee benefit plans
as may be adopted by Computex from time to time. eNETsolutions, L.L.C. will reimburse Mr. Bhutto for all reasonable and necessary
expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties of employment, subject to eNETsolutions, L.L.C.’s normal reimbursement
policies.
If
Mr. Bhutto’s employment is terminated for any reason, he is entitled to receive any accrued benefits, including any
earned but unpaid portion of his base salary and the reimbursement of any expenses incurred but not yet reimbursed, through the
date of his termination, subject to withholding and other appropriate deductions. If Mr. Bhutto’s employment is terminated
for any reason other than for cause (as defined in his employment agreement), he is also entitled to receive any discretionary
bonus payment awarded to him but not yet paid prior to the date of his termination. The employment agreement provides that if
Mr. Bhutto resigns for good reason or is terminated without cause (in each case as defined in his employment agreement) prior
to the end of the initial employment term or any renewal term, then in addition to the accrued benefits and provided he enters
into a general release of claims, Computex will pay him severance equal to the shorter of (a) nine months of his base salary
or (b) his base salary for a period of time equal to the then-remaining duration of the applicable initial employment term
or renewal term, subject to withholding and other appropriate deductions.
Mr. Bhutto’s
employment agreement also provides that he shall not divulge confidential information, shall not disparage Computex, and during
the term of his employment shall promptly disclose and automatically assign all work product (as defined in his employment agreement)
to Computex. Mr. Bhutto’s employment agreement further provides that, during the term of his employment and for twelve
months thereafter, Mr. Bhutto will not compete with Computex, and during the term of his employment and for twenty-four months
thereafter, he will not solicit Computex’s customers or employees.
On
October 22, 2019, Mr. Bhutto’s executive employment agreement was amended to remove Mr. Bhutto’s right
to receive the severance payments described above. This amendment was effective on the Closing Date. In consideration for the
amendment, Mr. Bhutto entered into that severance benefits agreement described under the heading “Severance Benefits
Agreements” above.
Outstanding
Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End
The
former parent of Computex, Holdings, issued Class A and B incentive common units of ownership of Holdings to the certain
Named Executive Officers of Holdings on July 31, 2018 and May 27, 2016. The incentive common units granted consist of
time-based units and performance-based units. Time-based units vest based on a three-year vesting period with accelerated vesting
upon the sale of Computex, and performance-based units that vest upon the sale of Computex, in each case, subject to the Named
Executive Officer’s continued service with Computex. Computex performed an analysis and determined the units had a fair
value that was immaterial at each respective date of grant and, accordingly, has not recorded any compensation expense.
On
May 27, 2016: (i) Sam Haffar was issued 572,310 Class A time-based units and 286,155 Class A performance-based
units; (ii) Worth Davis was issued 272,267 Class A performance-based units; and (iii) Faisal Bhutto was issued
172,267 Class A performance-based units.
On
July 31, 2018: (i) Worth Davis was issued 110,000 Class B time-based units and 110,000 Class B performance-based
units and (ii) Faisal Bhutto was issued 117,500 Class B time-based units and 117,500 Class B performance-based
units.
As
a result of the Business Combination, all of the unvested time-based units and all of the performance-based units held by the
current Named Executive Officers will automatically vest, subject to their continued service with Computex. The Named Executive
Officers are expected to receive either no or de minimis compensation in relation to their Class A or B incentive common
units.
Retirement
Benefits
Computex
maintains a tax-qualified defined contribution plan that meets the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code, commonly called
a 401(k) plan, for substantially all of its employees. The 401(k) plan is available on the same basis to all employees, including
Named Executive Officers. Each participant in the 401(k) plan can elect to defer from 0% to 100% of compensation, subject to limitations
under the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Incentive
Plan
On
February 27, 2020, our stockholders approved the Incentive Plan, effective upon the Closing. A copy of the full text of the Incentive
Plan is included as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Under the Incentive Plan, a total
of 5,794,500 shares of our common stock are reserved and available for delivery under the Incentive Plan at any time during the
term of such plan.
BENEFICIAL
OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

stock outstanding as of April 28, 2020.

DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
The
following description summarizes the material terms of the common stock we are registering pursuant to the registration of which
this prospectus is a part. Because it is only a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you. For
a complete description, you should refer to our Charter and our Bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement
of which this prospectus is a part, and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law.
General
We
are authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
par value $0.0001 per share. As of April 28, 2020, 19,635,830 shares of common stock are outstanding. No shares of preferred stock
are currently outstanding.
Common
Stock
Voting
Power
Our
stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Except as otherwise
required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, the holders of our
common stock will possess all voting power for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action.
No holder of any series of preferred stock, as such, shall be entitled to any voting powers in respect thereof.
Dividends
We
have not paid any cash dividends to date. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and
earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. The payment of any cash dividends will be within the discretion
of our board of directors at such time. In addition, our board of directors is not currently contemplating, and does not anticipate
declaring, any stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive
covenants contained in any of our existing or future indebtedness.
Liquidation,
Dissolution and Winding Up
Subject
to applicable law, and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the preferred stock, in the event of any
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, after payment or provision for payment of the
debts and other liabilities of the Company, the holders our common stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets
of the Company available for distribution to our stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of common stock held
by them.
Election
of Directors
Our
board of directors is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class
of directors being elected in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result
that the holders of more than 50% of the shares eligible to vote for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.
Conversion,
Redemption and Preemptive Rights
Our
stockholders have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions
applicable to the shares of common stock.
Preferred
Stock
There
are no shares of preferred stock outstanding. Our Charter authorizes the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with
such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Accordingly, our board
of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting
or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. The preferred stock
could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of us. Although we do not currently
intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future.
Transfer
Agent
The
transfer agent for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We have agreed to indemnify Continental
Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its role as transfer agent, its agents and each of its stockholders, directors, officers
and employees against all claims and losses that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity,
except for any liability due to any gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the indemnified person or entity.
Trading
Symbol
Our
common stock is traded on Nasdaq under the symbol “AVCT.”
Certain
Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and our Charter and Bylaws
Staggered
Board of Directors
Our
Charter provides that our board of directors is classified into three classes of directors of approximately equal size. As a result,
in most circumstances, a person can gain control of our board of directors only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at
two or more annual meetings. Furthermore, because our board of directors is classified, directors may be removed only with cause
by a majority of our outstanding shares.
Special
Meeting of Stockholders
Our
Bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by a majority vote of our board of directors, by our
Chief Executive Officer or by our Chairman.
Advance
Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations
Our
Bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates
for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be
timely, a stockholder’s notice will need to be received by the company secretary at our principal executive offices not
later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the open of business on the 120th day prior to the anniversary
date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, proposals seeking
inclusion in our annual proxy statement must comply with the notice periods contained therein. Our Bylaws also specify certain
requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from
bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders.
Authorized
but Unissued Shares
Our
authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could
be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee
benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult
or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Exclusive
Forum Selection
Our
Charter requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in our name, actions against directors,
officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in
the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented
to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel; provided that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to (i) suits
brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act, (ii) any other claim for which the federal courts have
exclusive jurisdiction, (iii) any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party
not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction
of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (iv) any claim which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction
of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or (v) any claim for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject
matter jurisdiction. Furthermore, our Charter also provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative
forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting
a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for
federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision with respect to suits
brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Stockholders will
not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Any person
or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and
consented to the forum provisions in our Charter.
Section
203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
We
are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. This statute prevents certain Delaware
corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with:
|
●
|
a
stockholder who owns 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an “interested stockholder”);
|
|
●
|
an
affiliate of an interested stockholder; or
|
|
●
|
an
associate of an interested stockholder, for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.
|
A
“business combination” includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of our assets. However, the above provisions of
Section 203 do not apply if:
|
●
|
our
board of directors approves the transaction that made the stockholder an “interested stockholder,” prior to the
date of the transaction;
|
|
●
|
after
the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned
at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares
of common stock; or
|
|
●
|
on
or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized
at a meeting of our stockholders, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding
voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.
|
SHARES
ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Rule 144
A
person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months would be entitled
to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or
at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements
for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during
the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.
Persons
who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates
at the time of, or any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such
person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of either of
the following:
|
●
|
1%
of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding; and
|
|
●
|
the
average weekly trading volume of the shares of common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice
on Form 144 with respect to the sale.
|
Sales
under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public
information about us.
Restrictions
on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies
Rule
144 is generally not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies or issuers that have been at any
time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions
are met:
|
●
|
The
issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
|
|
●
|
the
issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
|
|
●
|
the
issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding
12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K
reports; and
|
|
●
|
at
least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting
its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
|
The
Company filed its “Form 10 Information” with the SEC on April 14, 2020 by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K to report
the Closing and related matters, as amended and supplemented by a Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed by the Company with the SEC
on April 14, 2020.
Founder
Shares
Pursuant
to the terms of a stock escrow agreement entered into in connection with the IPO, the Initial Stockholders have agreed that, subject
to certain limited exceptions, none of the Founder Shares will be transferred, assigned or sold until the earlier of (i) one
year after the Closing or (ii) the date on which the closing price of our common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share
(as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading
day period.
Registration
Rights Agreement
Concurrently
with the Closing, AVCT, the Sponsor, the Initial Stockholders, Holdings and the other PIPE Investors entered into the Registration
Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement amended, restated and replaced the registration rights agreement entered into
by and among Pensare, the Sponsor and the Initial Stockholders on July 27, 2017. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement, the holders of certain of our securities, including the Founder Shares, the shares of common stock underlying the Private
Placement Warrants, and the shares of common stock underlying the securities issued in the PIPE, are entitled to certain registration
rights under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws with respect to such shares of common stock, including up
to eight demand registrations in the aggregate and customary “piggy-back” registration rights.
Form S-8 Registration
Statement
In
addition, pursuant to the Incentive Plan, equity incentive awards representing an aggregate of up to 5,794,500 shares of our common
stock were available for issuance as of April 28, 2020. We may file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 under
the Securities Act to register the shares of common stock issued or issuable under our Incentive Plan. Any such Form S-8 registration
statement will become effective automatically upon filing. Once these shares are registered, they can be sold in the public market
upon issuance, subject to Rule 144 limitations applicable to affiliates and vesting restrictions.
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
This
prospectus relates to the resale or distribution from time to time by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus or their
permitted transferees of up to 8,189,490 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which were issued in a private
placement in connection with, and as part of the consideration for, the Business Combination. The term “selling stockholders”
includes the stockholders listed in the table below and their permitted transferees.
The
following table provides, as of the date of this prospectus, information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock
of each selling stockholder, the number of shares of our common stock that may be sold by each selling stockholder under this
prospectus and that each selling stockholder will beneficially own after this offering.
Because
each selling stockholder may dispose of or distribute all, none or some portion of their securities, no estimate can be given
as to the number of securities that will be beneficially owned by a selling stockholder upon termination of this offering.
For purposes of the table below, however, we have assumed that after termination of this offering none of the shares of
common stock covered by this prospectus will be beneficially owned by the selling stockholders and further assumed that the
selling stockholders will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional securities during the offering. In addition, the
selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at
any time and from time to time, our securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act after the date on which the information in the table is presented.
We
may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time in the future to update or change this selling stockholders list and
the securities that may be resold.
Please
see the section titled “Plan of Distribution” for further information regarding the stockholders’ method of
distributing these shares.

Relationships with the Selling Stockholders
For
a description of our material relationships with the selling stockholders and their affiliates, see the sections entitled “Business
Combination,” “Management” “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” and “Executive
Compensation.”
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other
successors-in-interest selling shares of our common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling
stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership or limited liability company distribution or other transfer, may, from time to
time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of our common stock on any stock exchange, market or
trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at
prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined
at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The
selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares:
|
●
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
|
|
●
|
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of
the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
●
|
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for their account;
|
|
●
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
|
●
|
privately
negotiated transactions;
|
|
●
|
short
sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;
|
|
●
|
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
|
|
●
|
broker-dealers may
agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
|
●
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale; and
|
|
●
|
any
other method permitted by applicable law.
|
In
addition, a selling stockholder that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of shares of our common stock
to its members, partners or stockholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering
a prospectus with a plan of distribution. Such members, partners or stockholders would thereby receive freely tradeable shares
of common stock pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement. To the extent a distributee is an affiliate of
ours (or to the extent otherwise required by law), we may file a prospectus supplement in order to permit the distributees to
use the prospectus to resell the shares of common stock acquired in the distribution.
The
selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of our common stock
owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer
and sell the shares of our common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under
Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the
pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also
may transfer the shares of our common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors
in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In
connection with the sale of shares of our common stock, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or
other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of our common stock in the course of hedging
the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities
to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these shares. The
selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the
creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution
of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this
prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The
aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of
the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together
with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly
or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged
by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions
by selling the common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents
may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from
purchasers of the common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal. Underwriters may sell securities
to or through dealers, and dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters
and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent.
The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion
of the shares of the common stock in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that
they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
The
selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock may be “underwriters”
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on
any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are
“underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act.
To
the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase
prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with
respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
In
order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only
through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless
they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and
is complied with.
We
have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to
sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent
applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling
stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders
may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We
have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective
until such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration
statement or such securities have been withdrawn.
U.S.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The
following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition
of our common stock. This discussion applies only to shares of our common stock that are held as capital assets for U.S. federal
income tax purposes and is applicable only to holders who are receiving shares of our common stock in this offering.
This
discussion is a summary only and does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular
circumstances, including but not limited to the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain investment income and the
different consequences that may apply if you are subject to special rules that apply to certain types of investors (such as the
effects of Section 451 of the Code), including but not limited to:
|
●
|
financial
institutions or financial services entities;
|
|
●
|
governments
or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;
|
|
●
|
regulated
investment companies;
|
|
●
|
real
estate investment trusts;
|
|
●
|
expatriates
or former long-term residents of the U.S.;
|
|
●
|
persons
that actually or constructively own five percent or more of our voting shares;
|
|
●
|
dealers
or traders subject to a mark-to-market method of accounting with respect to shares of our common stock;
|
|
●
|
persons
holding shares of our common stock as part of a “straddle,” hedge, integrated transaction or similar transaction;
|
|
●
|
U.S.
holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
|
|
●
|
partnerships
or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes and any beneficial owners of such entities; and
|
This
discussion is based on the Code, and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury
regulations as of the date hereof, which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, and changes to any of which subsequent
to the date of this prospectus may affect the tax consequences described herein. This discussion does not address any aspect of
state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes (such as gift and estate taxes).
We
have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The
IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance
that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the
statements in this discussion. You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of U.S. federal tax laws
to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.
This
discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold shares
of our common stock through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership or other
pass-through entity for United States federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of shares of our common stock,
the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner or member in the partnership or other pass-through entity
generally will depend on the status of the partner or member and the activities of the partnership or other pass-through entity.
If you are a partner or member of a partnership or other pass-through entity holding shares of our common stock, we urge
you to consult your own tax advisor.
THIS
DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP
AND DISPOSITION OF shares of our common stock. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IN our common stock IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR
WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH INVESTOR OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF shares of our
common stock, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL NON-INCOME, STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.
U.S.
Holders
This
section applies to you if you are a “U.S. holder.” A U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our shares of common stock
who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
|
●
|
an
individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
|
|
●
|
a
corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia; or
|
|
●
|
an
estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or
|
|
●
|
a
trust, if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of
the trust and one or more U.S. persons (as defined in the Code) have authority to control all substantial decisions of the
trust or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
|
Taxation
of Distributions. If we pay distributions in cash or other property (other than certain distributions of our stock or rights
to acquire our stock) to U.S. holders of shares of our common stock, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for
U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under
U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a
return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our
common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the common stock and will
be treated as described under “U.S. Holders—Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of
Common Stock” below.
Dividends
we pay to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite
holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for
purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we
pay to a non-corporate U.S. holder may constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum
tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. If the holding period requirements are not satisfied, then a corporation may
not be able to qualify for the dividends received deduction and would have taxable income equal to the entire dividend amount,
and non-corporate holders may be subject to tax on such dividend at regular ordinary income tax rates instead of the preferential
rate that applies to qualified dividend income.
Gain
or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock. Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of
our common stock, a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the
amount realized and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common stock. Any such capital gain or loss generally will
be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the common stock so disposed of exceeds one
year. If the holding period requirements are not satisfied, any gain on a sale or taxable disposition of the shares would be subject
to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at regular ordinary income tax rates. Long-term capital gains
recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses
is subject to limitations.
Generally,
the amount of gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder is an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount
of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. holder’s adjusted
tax basis in its common stock so disposed of. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock generally will equal
the U.S. holder’s acquisition cost for the common stock less, in the case of a share of common stock, any prior distributions
treated as a return of capital.
Information
Reporting and Backup Withholding. In general, information reporting requirements may apply to dividends paid to a U.S. holder
and to the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of our shares of common stock, unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient.
Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number, a certification
of exempt status or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been
withdrawn).
Any
amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules generally should be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder’s
U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Non-U.S.
Holders
This
section applies to you if you are a “Non-U.S. holder.” As used herein, the term “Non-U.S. holder” means
a beneficial owner of our common stock who or that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
|
●
|
a
non-resident alien individual (other than certain former citizens and residents of the U.S. subject to U.S. tax as expatriates);
|
|
●
|
a
foreign corporation or
|
|
●
|
an
estate or trust that is not a U.S. holder;
|
but
generally does not include an individual who is present in the U.S. for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition.
If you are such an individual, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition,
ownership or sale or other disposition of our securities.
Taxation
of Distributions. In general, any distributions we make to a Non-U.S. holder of shares of our common stock, to the extent
paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s
conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the
dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income
tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or
W-8BEN-E). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares of our common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder’s
adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the common stock, which will be treated as described
under “Non-U.S. Holders—Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock” below.
The
withholding tax does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder who provides a Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends
are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead,
the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. income tax as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident,
subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A Non-U.S. corporation receiving effectively connected dividends
may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate).
Gain
on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock. A Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to
U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition
of our common stock, unless:
|
●
|
the
gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. holder within the United States
(and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained
by the Non-U.S. holder); or
|
|
●
|
we
are or have been a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during
the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the Non-U.S. holder held our
common stock, and, in the case where shares of our common stock are regularly traded on an established securities market,
the Non-U.S. holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our common stock at any time within the shorter
of the five-year period preceding the disposition or such Non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares of our
common stock. There can be no assurance that our common stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities
market for this purpose.
|
Unless
an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable
U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above
of a Non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a
30% rate (or lower treaty rate).
If
the second bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition
of our common stock will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates.
Information
Reporting and Backup Withholding. Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of dividends
and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our shares of common stock. A Non-U.S. holder may have to comply with certification
procedures to establish that it is not a United States person in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding
requirements. The certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty will satisfy the certification
requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S.
holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to
a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
FATCA
Withholding Taxes. Provisions commonly referred to as “FATCA” impose withholding of 30% on payments of dividends
(including constructive dividends) on our common stock to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined
for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other Non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information
reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those
entities) have been satisfied by, or an exemption applies to, the payee (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly
completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement
with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a Non-U.S. holder
might be eligible for refunds or credits of such withholding taxes, and a Non-U.S. holder might be required to file a U.S. federal
income tax return to claim such refunds or credits. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisers regarding the effects
of FATCA on their investment in our securities.

1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION
AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Pensare Acquisition
Corp. (the “Company”), is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 7, 2016. The Company was formed
for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, recapitalization,
exchangeable share transaction or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets with one or more
targets (a “Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region
for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus on businesses in the wireless telecommunications
industry in the United States.
All activity through
December 31, 2019 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”)
as described below, identifying a target company for a Business Combination and activities in connection with the proposed mergers
with U.S. TelePacific Holdings Corp. d/b/a TPx Communications (“TPx”) and Stratos Management Systems, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (“Computex”). On May 20, 2019, the Company mutually agreed with TPx to terminate the Business
Combination Agreement (the “TPx Agreement”) between the Company, TPx and Tango Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation
and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to a Termination of Business Combination Agreement
dated as of May 20, 2019, effective as of such date. As a result of the termination of the TPx Agreement, effective as of
May 20, 2019, the TPx Agreement is of no further force or effect, and no party to the TPx Agreement shall have any liability
under the TPx Agreement except as otherwise expressly set forth in the agreement. On July 24, 2019, the Company entered into
a Business Combination Agreement (the “Agreement”) among the Company, Stratos Management Systems, Inc. a Delaware
corporation (“Computex”), Merger Sub and Stratos Management Systems Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“Holdings”).
The registration statements
for the Company’s Initial Public Offering were declared effective on July 27, 2017. On August 1, 2017, the Company
consummated the Initial Public Offering of 27,000,000 units (“Units” and with respect to the shares of the Company’s
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), included in the Units, the “Public Shares”)
at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $270,000,000, which is described in Note 4.
Simultaneously with
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 9,500,000 private placement warrants (“Private
Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, MasTec, Inc. (“MasTec”)
and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”), generating gross proceeds of $9,500,000, which is described in Note 5.
Following the closing
of the Initial Public Offering on August 1, 2017, an amount of $270,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the
sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust
Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any
open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2),
(d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the
completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below, except that interest
earned on the Trust Account can be released to pay the Company’s tax obligations.

1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION
AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (Continued)
On August 4,
2017, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full resulting in an additional 4,050,000 Units being issued for
$40,500,000, less the underwriters’ discount of $1,012,500, netting $39,487,500, which was deposited into the Trust Account.
In connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, the Company also consummated the sale
of an additional 1,012,500 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 resulting in a total of $310,500,000 held in the Trust Account.
On August 7,
2017, the Company announced that the holders of the Company’s units may elect to separately trade the Common Stock, warrants
and rights underlying the units commencing on August 8, 2017. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the
units only whole warrants will trade. Those units that are not separated will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under
the symbol “WRLSU” and the Common Stock, warrants and rights are expected to trade under the symbols “WRLS,”
“WRLSW” and “WRLSR”, respectively.
Transaction costs
amounted to $8,646,303, consisting of $7,762,500 of underwriting fees, and $883,803 of other costs. In addition, as of December 31,
2019, $163,211 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account, which is available for working capital purposes.
The Company’s
management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and
Private Placement Warrants (subject to terms and conditions set forth in the certain trust agreement), although substantially
all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance
that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
The Company will provide
its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination
either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a
tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender
offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for
a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable (initially $10.00 per share, plus
any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax
obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s
warrants or rights. The Common Stock subject to redemption has been recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity
upon the completion of the Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.” The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of
at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, in the case of a stockholder vote, a majority of the
outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the
Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however,
a stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business
or other legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy
rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination,
the Initial Stockholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 6), and any Public
Shares held by them in favor of approving a Business Combination and not to redeem any shares. Additionally, each public stockholder
may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

On July 25, 2019,
the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of a Business Combination Agreement (the “Agreement”)
among the Company, Stratos Management Systems, Inc. a Delaware Corporation (“Computex”), Tango Merger Sub Corp.,
a Delaware corporation and Stratos Management Systems Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to which
the Company agreed to acquire Computex in a transaction (the “Transaction”) that will result in Computex becoming
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Computex is an industry-leading IT service provider of choice focused on helping customers
transform their businesses through technology. Computex offers a comprehensive portfolio of managed IT services to a wide range
of clients including Unified Communications-as-a-Service (“UCaaS”), directory and messaging services, enterprise networking,
cybersecurity, collaboration, data center, integration, storage, backup, virtualization, and converged infrastructure. On December 20,
2019, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment amends the Agreement
to among other things (i) reduce the aggregate merger consideration payable from $65 million to $60 million, (ii) change
the allocation of the merger consideration so that it is payable as follows: (a) an amount in cash equal to two-thirds of
the cash raised by Pensare in the PIPE transactions less $5 million, subject to a cap of $20 million, (b) $5 million
of any securities, other than shares of Pensare’s common stock, sold in the PIPE transaction (the “PIPE Securities”),
and (c) the balance of the merger consideration in shares of the Company’s common stock, (iii) provide for the
optional redemption of some or all of the PIPE Securities following the closing of the merger, to the extent that Pensare raises
additional funds in private placements following the merger of , (iv) adjust a condition to the closing of the merger to
require that Pensare shall have at least an aggregate of $35 million of cash held either in or outside of the Trust Account
at the effective time of the merger (reduced from $250 million): and (v) adjust the date by which the closing of the
merger must occur from December 31, 2019 to April 1, 2020.
Additionally, on July 25,
2019, the Company announced that they entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire a second company, a leading developer
of UCaaS technology and that they have joined AT&T Partner Exchange®, a platform pursuant to which they will be able to
bundle and resell certain AT&T branded products and solutions with their own services following the consummation of the Transaction.
On September 11,
2019, the Company received a written notice (the “First Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The
Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(3)
(the “Minimum Public Holders Rule”), which requires the Company to have at least 300 public holders for continued
listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The First Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has
no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The First Notice states
that the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule. The Company
intends to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule within the required timeframe. If Nasdaq accepts
the Company’s plan, Nasdaq may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the First
Notice to evidence compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company
will have the opportunity to appeal the decision in front of a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION
AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (Continued)
On November 26,
2019, at the Special Meeting of the Company’s Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders
approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”)
to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) for an additional
four months, from December 1, 2019 to April 1, 2020. The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock was required to approve the Charter Amendment. The Charter Amendment was approved with 7,731,372 votes
cast in favor of the proposal, one vote cast against the proposal and no abstentions. The purpose of the Extension is to allow
the Company more time to complete a Business Combination. In connection with the Special Meeting and the resulting Charter Amendment,
135,288 of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock were redeemed from funds available in the Trust Account, for a redemption
amount of approximately $10.56 per share.
In connection with
the proposed Transaction, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC relating to the Transaction on October 8,
2019. Amendment No. 1 to the preliminary proxy statement was filed with the SEC on December 26, 2019. The Company will
mail a definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents to its stockholders. The Company’s stockholders and other
interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement, and amendments thereto, and definitive
proxy statement in connection with our solicitation of proxies for the special meeting to be held to approve the Transaction because
these proxy statements will contain important information about the Company, Computex, and the Transaction. The definitive proxy
statement will be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the Transaction.
Stockholders will also be able to obtain copies of the proxy statement, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s Internet
site at http://www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Pensare Acquisition Corp., 1720 Peachtree Street, Suite 629, Atlanta,
GA 30309, or by calling (404) 239-2863.
The Company has until
April 1, 2020 to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete
a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of
winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the
outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account,
including interest earned (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will
completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions,
if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the
approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation
and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and
the requirements of applicable law.

1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION
AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (Continued)
The Sponsor and other
holders of Founder Shares prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed to (i) waive
their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the consummation of a Business
Combination, (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder
Shares if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period and (iii) not to propose an
amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of
the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within
the Combination Period, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares
in conjunction with any such amendment. However, the Initial Stockholders will be entitled to liquidating distributions with respect
to any Public Shares acquired if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination and liquidates within the Combination
Period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of all the assets available for distribution
(including Trust Account assets) will be less than the $10.00 per Unit in the Offering.
In order to protect
the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a
vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed
entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect
to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held
in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Offering against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover,
in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible
to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will
have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than
the Company’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business,
execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust
Account.
2. LIQUIDITY
As of December 31,
2019, the Company had $163,211 in its operating bank accounts, $1,864,534 (including interest income) in cash and marketable securities
held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination, to repurchase or convert stock, or to pay corporate taxes in
connection therewith and a working capital deficit of $14,424,137. As of December 31, 2019, a portion of the interest income,
of $62,119 has been recorded as a current asset and is available to pay the Company’s tax obligations. To date, the Company
has withdrawn $418,674 of interest from the Trust Account in order to pay the Company’s tax obligations.

2. LIQUIDITY (Continued)
Until the consummation
of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluation of
prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures,
selecting target businesses to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.
The Company may need
to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from our Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third
parties. Our officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time, in whatever amount
they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet our working capital needs.
If the Company is
unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include,
but not necessarily be limited to curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead
expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at
all. Even if they can obtain sufficient financing or raise additional capital, they only have until April 1, 2020 to consummate
a Business Combination. There is no assurance that we will be able to do so prior to April 1, 2020.
If the Company does
not complete a Business Combination by April 1, 2020 and the stockholders have not approved an extension to such deadline,
they will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but
not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in
cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest earned on the funds held in the
Trust Account not previously released to them, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will
completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions,
if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the
approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and
(iii) above) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements
of other applicable law. The Company cannot assure that it will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’
claims.
For the period from
April 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, the Sponsor advanced the Company $2,957,110 for working capital purposes. As
of December 31, 2019, the Sponsor advanced the Company $4,314,738 for working capital purposes. These advances are included
on the balance sheet as part of promissory notes-related party in addition to the Trust Loans discussed in Note 6. The Working
Capital Loans, evidenced by promissory notes, shall be payable without interest upon consummation of a Business Combination or,
at the holder’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the note may be converted into warrants (“Warrants”) at a conversion
price of $1.00 per Warrant. Each Warrant will contain terms identical to those of the warrants issued in the private placement,
entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share as more fully described
in the prospectus for the IPO dated July 27, 2017. The Working Capital Loans would either be paid upon consummation of a
Business Combination, without interest, or, at the holders discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be converted
into Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Warrant.

2. LIQUIDITY (Continued)
In addition, two of
the Company’s service providers agreed to defer the payment of fees owed to them until the consummation of a Business Combination,
which amounted to $5,901,174 as of December 31, 2019. Such fees are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in
the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2019. Based on the foregoing, the Company believes it will have sufficient
cash to meet its needs for the next three months (through April 1, 2020). Upon the consummation of the Company’s initial
business combination, up to $1,500,000 of the aggregate promissory notes may be convertible into warrants of the Company at a
price of $1.00 per warrant.
In addition, the Company
holds a Commitment Letter from its Chief Executive Officer and managing member of the Sponsor, whereby the managing member of
the Sponsor commits to funding any working capital shortfalls through the earlier of an initial business combination or the Company’s
liquidation. The loans would be issued as required and each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note, up to an aggregate of
$750,000. If the Company does not complete a business combination, any such loans will be forgiven. On August 8, 2019, the
Company signed a $700,000 promissory note with an affiliate of the Sponsor. This promissory note shall be payable without interest
and due upon the consummation of a Business Combination.
The Company may raise
additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or its stockholders, officers, directors, or third
parties. The Company’s officers and directors and the Sponsor may, but, except as described above, are not obligated to,
loan the Company funds, from time to time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s
working capital needs.
None of the Sponsor,
stockholders, officers or directors, or third parties is under any obligation to advance funds to, or invest in, the Company,
except for the $750,000 commitment discussed above. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If
the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which
could include, but not necessarily be limited to curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and
reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially
acceptable terms, if at all. Even if the Company can obtain sufficient financing or raise additional capital, it only has until
April 1, 2020 to consummate a business combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so prior to
April 1, 2020.

Accordingly, they
do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all
adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating
results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended March 31, 2019 as filed with the SEC on June 14, 2019, which contains the audited financial statements and
notes thereto. The financial information as of March 31, 2019 is derived from the audited financial statements presented
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019. The interim results for the nine
months ended December 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending March 31,
2020 or any future interim periods.
Emerging
growth company
The Company is an
“emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities
Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage
of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging
growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements,
and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval
of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)
(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective
or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial
accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with
the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has
elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different
application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard
at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements
with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company, which has opted out of
using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of
estimates
The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires
management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition,
situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating
its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could
differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash
and cash equivalents
The Company considers
all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company
did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019.
Cash
and marketable securities held in Trust Account
At December 31,
2019 and March 31, 2019, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash and U.S. Treasury Bills and are classified
as trading securities.
Common
stock subject to possible redemption
The Company accounts
for its Common Stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common Stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified
as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Common Stock (including Common Stock that features
redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events
not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified
as stockholders’ equity. The Common Stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s
control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019,
Common Stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’
equity section of the Company’s balance sheets.
Income
taxes
The Company complies
with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability
approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts,
based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax asset to the amount expected to be realized.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (Continued)
At December 31,
2019 and March 31, 2019, management had determined that it is more likely than not, that its deferred income tax asset, which
previously had been reduced by a valuation allowance, will not be realized within this year. The deferred income tax asset of
$0 and $216,000, respectively, arose from tax benefits related to net operating losses not previously utilized.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes
a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized
tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, there were no unrecognized tax benefits
and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties.
The Company is currently
not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company may be
subject to potential examination by federal, state and city taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations
may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance
with federal, state and city tax laws. The Company has identified its Federal tax return and its State tax returns in Delaware,
Georgia, New York and North Carolina as “major” tax jurisdictions. The Company’s management does not expect
that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next year.
Net loss
per common share
The Company complies
with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per common share is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Shares of Common Stock subject
to possible redemption at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 have been excluded from the calculation of basic income
(loss) per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. The Company
has not considered the effect of (1) warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase 15,525,000
and 10,512,500 shares of Common Stock, respectively, (2) rights sold in the Initial Public Offering that convert into 3,105,000
shares of Common Stock, (3) the unit purchase option of up to 1,350,000 Units sold to the underwriters, exercisable at $10.00
per Unit, which consists of 1,350,000 shares of Common Stock, 675,000 warrants (convertible into 675,000 shares of Common Stock),
and 1,350,000 rights (convertible into 135,000 shares of Common Stock) and, (4) $1,500,000 of promissory notes, which is
payable without interest upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the holder’s discretion, which may be converted,
in part, into Warrants at a conversion price of $1.00 per Warrant, in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise
of the warrants, the conversion of the rights into shares of Common Stock and conversion of the working capital loan are contingent
upon the occurrence of a future event. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for
the periods.

Concentration
of credit risk
Financial instruments
that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which,
at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019,
the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks
on such account.
Fair
value of financial instruments
The fair value of
the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their
short-term nature.

Management does not

effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.
4. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial
Public Offering the Company sold 27,000,000 units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Common
Stock, par value of $0.001 of the Company (“Common Stock”), one right (“Public Right”) and one-half of
one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Right will convert into one-tenth (1/10) of one share
of Common Stock upon consummation of a Business Combination (see Note 8). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to
purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 (see Note 8).
On August 4,
2017, the over-allotment option was exercised in full and the underwriters purchased 4,050,000 additional Units at $10.00 per
Unit, generating gross proceeds of $40,500,000.
Proceeds of $310,500,000
from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants are held in the trust account, along with any additional interest
earned thereon not used to pay for taxes.
5. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with
the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor, MasTec and EBC purchased 9,500,000 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per warrant in
a private placement generating gross proceeds of $9,500,000. Simultaneously with the sale of the over- allotment Units, the Company
consummated the sale of an additional 1,012,500 warrants at $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $1,012,500. The proceeds
from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in
the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds of the
sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of
applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the
Warrants sold in the Offering except that the Private Placement Warrants (i) will not be redeemable by the Company and (ii) may
be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, so long as they are held by the initial purchaser or any of its permitted transferees.
In addition, the Private Placement Warrants and their component securities may not be transferable, assignable or salable until
30 days after the consummation of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Founder
Shares
In May 2016, the Company
issued 10,000 shares of Common Stock to the Sponsor for $10.
In May 2017, the Company
issued an additional 7,177,500 shares of Common Stock to the Sponsor and certain other persons (collectively, the “Founder
Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $24,990, or approximately $0.0035 per share. In June 2017, the Sponsor transferred
1,575,000 of such shares to MasTec for the same purchase price originally paid for such shares. In July 2017, the company effected
a stock dividend with respect to the Common Stock of 575,000 shares, resulting in the Initial Stockholders holding an aggregate
of 7,762,500 shares. All share and per share, amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock dividend. The Founder
Shares included an aggregate of up to 1,012,500 shares that were subject to forfeiture by the Initial Stockholders to the extent
that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Initial Stockholders would own,
on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Offering. As a result of the underwriters’
election to exercise their over-allotment option in full on August 4, 2017, 1,012,500 Founder shares are no longer subject
to forfeiture.
The Initial Stockholders
have agreed that, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares will not be transferred, assigned or sold until one
year after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the last
sales price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends,
reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period.
Related
Party Loans
For the period from
April 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, the Sponsor advanced the Company $2,957,110 for working capital purposes. As
of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the Sponsor loaned the Company $4,314,738 and $1,357,628 for working capital
purposes, respectively. These advances are included on the balance sheet as part of promissory notes-related party in addition
to the Trust Loans. The Working Capital Loans, evidenced by a promissory note, shall be payable without interest upon consummation
of a Business Combination or, at the holder’s discretion, the note may be converted into Warrants at a conversion price
of $1.00 per Warrant. Each Warrant will contain terms identical to those of the warrants issued in the private placement, entitling
the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share as more fully described in the
prospectus for the IPO dated July 27, 2017.
In order to finance
transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, the Company’s officers and directors may, but
are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time, as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”).
Each Working Capital Loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The Working Capital Loans would either be paid upon consummation
of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the holder’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans
may be converted into Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Warrant. The Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
The Company received
a Commitment Letter from the managing member of the Sponsor, whereby the Sponsor commits to funding any working capital shortfalls
through the earlier of an initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation. The loans would be issued as required
and a promissory note, up to an aggregate of Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars $750,000, would evidence each loan. The
loans will be non-interest bearing, unsecured and payable upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination
or at the holder’s discretion. If the Company does not complete a business combination, any such loans will be forgiven.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had no promissory notes outstanding related to this commitment.

On April 22,
2019, the Company announced that the Sponsor, had agreed to contribute to the Trust Account, as a loan, $0.033 for each share
of Common Stock issued in the initial public offering that was not redeemed in connection with the stockholder vote to approve
an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which they have to
consummate a Business Combination for an additional three months, from May 1, 2019 to August 1, 2019. On May 31,
2019, the Company announced that the Sponsor had determined to adjust the contributions that it would make to the Trust Account
and that the Company would offer its public stockholders the right to redeem their Public Shares in connection with such adjustment.
Holders of 18,361,687 shares of the Common Stock elected to redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available
in the Trust Account, less any income taxes owed on such funds but not yet paid. The per-share redemption amount for such redeemed
Public Shares was approximately $10.39. After giving effect to the redemptions, 13,822,538 shares of the Common Stock (including
6,060,038 Public Shares) remained issued and outstanding. Additionally, as previously reported on May 31, 2019, the Sponsor
agreed to contribute to the Trust Account as a loan $0.033 for each Public Share that was not redeemed for each of June and July
2019, up to a maximum of $200,000 per month. Accordingly, the Sponsor made contributions to the Trust Account of approximately
$399,962 in the aggregate for June and July 2019.
On February 1,
2019, the Company signed a promissory note agreeing to repay up to $2,797,117 of advances to be made by the Sponsor to cover contribution
payments of $932,372 on February 28, 2019, $932,373 on March 12, 2019 and $932,372 on April 12, 2019 due to the
Trust Account. On May 9, 2019, the Company updated its promissory note to include $805,916 of additional advances made by
the Sponsor to cover contribution payments due to the Trust Account. On August 5, 2019, the Company again updated its promissory
note to include $399,962 of additional advances made by the Sponsor to cover contribution payments due to the Trust. As of December 31,
2019 and March 31, 2019, $4,002,997 and $1,864,745 was advanced under that note, respectively.
Promissory notes—related
party loans were $6,817,734 and $1,864,745, at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of a majority of these
securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities.
In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements
filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement will provide that the Company will
not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock
up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Business

that are interested in purchasing securities, assist the Company in obtaining stockholder approval for the Business Combination
and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with a Business Combination. The Company will
pay EBC a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of the
gross proceeds of the offering (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable); provided that the
Company has the right to allocate up to 30% of the fee to any of the underwriters in the offering or other FINRA member firms

2019, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Common Stock—The
Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. Holders of the Company’s
Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, there were 7,932,977
and 9,032,109, respectively, shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (excluding 0 and 26,984,101 shares subject to possible
redemption).
Rights—Each
holder of a right will receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Common Stock upon consummation of a Business Combination,
even if the holder of such right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares
will be issued upon exchange of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order
to receive its additional shares upon consummation of a Business Combination as the consideration related thereto has been included
in the Unit purchase price paid for by investors in the Initial Public Offering. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement
for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the
holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the Common Stock will receive in the transaction
on an as-converted into Common Stock basis and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively covert its rights in order
to receive 1/10 share underlying each right (without paying additional consideration). The shares issuable upon exchange
of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).
If the Company is
unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust
Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution
from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless.
Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of
a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights.
Warrants—Public
Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants.
The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination
or; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available.
The Company has agreed
that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company
will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the
shares of Common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same
to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto,
until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if a registration statement covering the shares of Common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective
within 90 business days immediately following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such
time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective
registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders
will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion
of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Private Placement
Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Offering, except that the Private Placement
Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable
or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally,
the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial
purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers
or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders
on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
The Company may redeem
the Public Warrants (except with respect to the Placement Warrants):
|
●
|
in
whole and not in part;
|
|
●
|
at
a price of $0.01 per warrant;
|
|
●
|
at
any time during the exercise period;
|
|
●
|
upon
a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;
|
|
●
|
if,
and only if, the last sale price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds
$18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the
third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption
to the warrant holders; and
|
|
●
|
if,
and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the
shares of Common Stock underlying such warrants.
|
If the Company calls
the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants
to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.
The exercise price
and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including
in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not
be adjusted for issuance of Common Stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required
to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and
the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect
to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with
the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (Continued)
Unit Purchase Options—The
Company sold to EBC and its co-underwriters, for $100, an option to purchase up to 1,350,000 units exercisable at $10.00 per Unit
(or an aggregate exercise price of $13,500,000) commencing on the consummation of a Business Combination. The unit purchase option
may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and expires on July 27, 2022. The Units issuable
upon exercise of this option are identical to those offered in the Offering. The Company has accounted for the unit purchase option,
inclusive of the receipt of $100 cash payment, as an expense of the Offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’
equity.
The Company estimated
that the fair value of this unit purchase option was $4,547,505 (or $3.37 per Unit) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The fair value of the unit purchase option granted to the underwriters was estimated as of the date of grant using the following
assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 35%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 1.80% and (3) expected life of five
years. The option and the 1,350,000 Units have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up
pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA’s NASDAQ Conduct Rules. Additionally, the option may not be sold, transferred,
assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a one-year period (including the foregoing 180-day period) following the date of Offering
except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the Offering and their bona fide officers or partners. The option
grants to holders demand and “piggy back” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective
date of the registration statement with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the securities directly and indirectly
issuable upon exercise of the option. The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other
than underwriting commissions, which will be paid for by the holders themselves.
The exercise price
and number of units issuable upon exercise of the option may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a
stock dividend, or the Company’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the option will not
be adjusted for issuances of Common Stock at a price below its exercise price.
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company follows
guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured at fair value at each reporting period,
and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of
the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have
received in connection with the sale of the assets paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities,
the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the
use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following
fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in
order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in
which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an
ongoing basis.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)
Level 2:
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for
similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following table
presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31,
2019 and March 31, 2019, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine
such fair value:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
of
Pensare Acquisition Corp.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We have audited the
accompanying balance sheets of Pensare Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the related
statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31,2019,
and the related notes (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 March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits
in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included
performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud,
and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION
AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Pensare Acquisition
Corp. (the “Company”), is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 7, 2016. The Company was formed
for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, recapitalization,
exchangeable share transaction or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets that the Company
has not yet identified (a “Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or
geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus on businesses in the wireless
telecommunications industry in the United States.
All activity through
March 31, 2019 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”)
described below, identifying a target company for a Business Combination, and performing due diligence thereon. As previously
disclosed in the current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 1, 2019, the Company entered into a Business
Combination Agreement (the “Agreement”) on January 31, 2019 with U.S. TelePacific Holdings Corp., d/b/a TPx Communications
(“TPx”) and Tango Merger Sub Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, relating
to the proposed business combination between the Company and TPx. On May 20, 2019, the Company mutually agreed with TPx to
terminate the Agreement pursuant to a Termination of Business Combination Agreement dated as of May 20, 2019, effective as
of such date. As a result of the termination of the Agreement, effective as of May 20, 2019, the Agreement is of no further
force or effect, and no party to the Agreement shall have any liability under the Agreement except as otherwise expressly set
forth in the Agreement. The Company intends to continue to pursue a Business Combination.
On January 28,
2019, at the Special Meeting in lieu of the 2019 Annual Meeting of the Company’s Stockholders, the stockholders approved
an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate
a business combination for an additional three months, from February 1, 2019 to May 1, 2019. The amendment was approved
with 26,352,896 votes cast in favor of the amendment, 122,986 votes cast against the amendment and 323,175 abstentions. In connection
with the special meeting and the resulting amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, 2,796,290 shares
of our common stock were redeemed from funds available in the trust account established in connection with the Company’s
initial public offering (the “Trust Account”), for a redemption amount of approximately $10.18 per share.
On April 22,
2019, the Company announced that its sponsor, had agreed to contribute as a loan, $0.033 for each share of common stock issued
in the initial public offering that was not redeemed in connection with the stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination for
an additional three months, from May 1, 2019 to August 1, 2019. On April 29, 2019, at the Special Meeting of the
Company’s Stockholders, the stockholders approved an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation
to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for an additional three months, from May 1,
2019 to August 1, 2019. The amendment was approved with 26,163,835 votes cast in favor of the amendment, 2,020,001 votes
cast against the amendment and 422,075 abstentions. In connection with the special meeting and the resulting amendment to our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation, 3,831,985 shares of our common stock were redeemed from funds available in
the Trust Account, for a redemption amount of approximately $10.33 per share.

1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION
AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (Continued)
On May 31, 2019,
the Company announced that the sponsor will reduce its contributions to the Trust Account. The sponsor will continue to pay to
the Trust Account $0.033 per public share that has not been redeemed per month, but the total monthly payment will be no greater
than $200,000. If more than 6,060,606 public shares remain outstanding after redemptions in connection with this adjustment, then
the amount paid per share will be reduced proportionately. In connection with this announcement, the Company offered the public
stockholders the right to redeem their shares of common stock for their pro rata portion of the funds available
in the Trust Account. The stockholders will have until 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on June 14, 2019 to elect to redeem
their public shares.
The registration statements
for the Company’s Initial Public Offering were declared effective on July 27, 2017. On August 1, 2017, the Company
consummated the Initial Public Offering of 27,000,000 units (“Units” and with respect to the shares of the Company’s
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), included in the Units, the “Public Shares”)
at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $270,000,000, which is described in Note 4.
Simultaneously with
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 9,500,000 private placement warrants (“Private
Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Pensare Sponsor
Group, LLC (the “Sponsor”), MasTec, Inc. (“MasTec”) and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”),
generating gross proceeds of $9,500,000, which is described in Note 5.
Following the closing
of the Initial Public Offering on August 1, 2017, an amount of $270,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the
sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust
Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any
open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2),
(d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the
completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below, except that interest
earned on the Trust Account can be released to pay the Company’s tax obligations.
On August 4,
2017, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full resulting in an additional 4,050,000 Units being issued for
$40,500,000, less the underwriters’ discount of $1,012,500, netting $39,487,500, which was deposited into the Trust Account.
In connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, the Company also consummated the sale
of an additional 1,012,500 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 resulting in a total of $310,500,000 held in the Trust Account.
On August 7,
2017, the Company announced that the holders of the Company’s units may elect to separately trade the Common Stock, warrants
and rights underlying the units commencing on August 8, 2017. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the
units only whole warrants will trade. Those units that are not separated will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under
the symbol “WRLSU” and the Common Stock, warrants and rights are expected to trade under the symbols “WRLS,”
“WRLSW” and “WRLSR”, respectively.

1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION
AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (Continued)
Transaction costs
amounted to $8,646,303, consisting of $7,762,500 of underwriting fees, and $883,803 of other costs. In addition, as of March 31,
2019, $139,265 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account, available for working capital purposes.
The Company’s
management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and
Private Placement Warrants (subject to terms and conditions set forth in the certain trust agreement), although substantially
all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance
that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
The Company will provide
its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination
either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a
tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender
offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for
a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable (initially $10.00 per share, plus
any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax
obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s
warrants or rights. The Common Stock subject to redemption has been recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity
upon the completion of the Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.” The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of
at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, in the case of a stockholder vote, a majority of the
outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the
Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however,
a stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business
or other legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy
rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination,
the Initial Stockholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 6), and any Public
Shares held by them in favor of approving a Business Combination and not to redeem any shares. Additionally, each public stockholder
may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.
The Company will have
until August 1, 2019 to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable
to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the
purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100%
of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the
Trust Account, including interest earned (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which
redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further
liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such
redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence
a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for
claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law.

MARCH 31, 2019
1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION
AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (Continued)
The Sponsor and other
holders of Founder Shares prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed to (i) waive
their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the consummation of a Business
Combination, (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder
Shares if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period and (iii) not to propose an
amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of
the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within
the Combination Period, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares
in conjunction with any such amendment. However, the Initial Stockholders will be entitled to liquidating distributions with respect
to any Public Shares acquired if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination and liquidates within the Combination
Period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of all the assets available for distribution
(including Trust Account assets) will be less than the $10.00 per Unit in the Offering.
In order to protect
the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a
vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed
entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect
to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held
in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Offering against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover,
in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible
to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will
have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than
the Company’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business,
execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust
Account.
2. LIQUIDITY
As of March 31,
2019, the Company had $135,265 in its operating bank accounts, $290,454,757 in cash and marketable securities held in the Trust
Account to be used for a Business Combination, to repurchase or convert stock, or to pay corporate taxes in connection therewith
and a working capital deficit of $8,278,795. As of March 31, 2019, $6,885,174 of the amount deposited in the Trust Account
represented interest income, which is available to pay the Company’s tax obligations. To date, the Company has withdrawn
$336,274 of interest from the Trust Account in order to pay the Company’s tax obligations.

2. LIQUIDITY (Continued)
Until the consummation
of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluation of
prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures,
selecting target businesses to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.
On June 8, 2018
the Sponsor loaned the Company $1,000,000 for working capital purposes. On February 11, 2019, the Sponsor advanced the Company
an additional $317,628 for working capital purposes. On April 10, 2019 and May 9, 2019, the Sponsor advanced the Company
$150,000 and $250,000, respectively, for working capital purposes. Each of these working capital loans is evidenced by a promissory
note, and are payable without interest upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the holder’s discretion, the notes
may be converted into warrants (“Warrants”) at a conversion price of $1.00 per Warrant, with a limitation to convert
only up to $1.5 million of notes. Each Warrant will contain terms identical to those of the warrants issued in the private
placement, entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share as more
fully described in the prospectus for the IPO dated July 27, 2017.
On April 22,
2019, the Company announced that its sponsor, had agreed to contribute as a loan, $0.033 for each share of common stock issued
in the initial public offering that was not redeemed in connection with the stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination for
an additional three months, from May 1, 2019 to August 1, 2019. On April 29, 2019, at the Special Meeting of the
Company’s Stockholders, the stockholders approved an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation
to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for an additional three months, from May 1,
2019 to August 1, 2019. The amendment was approved with 26,163,835 votes cast in favor of the amendment, 2,020,001 votes
cast against the amendment and 422,075 abstentions. In connection with the special meeting and the resulting amendment to our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation, 3,831,985 shares of our common stock were redeemed from funds available in
the Trust Account, for a redemption amount of approximately $10.33 per share.
On May 31, 2019,
the Company announced that the Company’s sponsor would reduce its contributions to the trust account established in connection
with the Company’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). The Company’s sponsor will continue
to pay the Trust Account $0.033 per Public Share that has not been redeemed per month, but the total monthly payment will be no
greater than $200,000. The Company is currently active in discussion with a target company regarding a potential business combination
that is anticipated to require an amount of funding less than the current balance of the Trust Account to consummate the business
combination. There can be no assurance that the Company will enter into a business combination agreement with the target company
or that this or another potential business combination will be completed.

2. LIQUIDITY (Continued)
In connection with
the Extension, the Sponsor advanced $1,938,349 in additional contributions to the trust account for the period from April 1,
2019 through June 2, 2019. These loans shall be payable without interest upon consummation of a Business Combination.
The Sponsor advanced
the Company $150,000 on April 19, 2019 and $250,000 on May 19, 2019 for working capital purposes. These loans shall
be payable without interest upon consummation of a Business Combination.
Promissory notes payable—related
party were $3,222,373 and $0, at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2019, $1,864,745
of the proceeds of the funds borrowed were treated as an investment of cash in the Trust Account.
In addition, two of
the Company’s service providers had agreed to defer the payment of fees owed to them until the consummation of a Business
Combination, which amounted to $4,814,028 as of March 31, 2019. Such fees are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses
in the accompanying balance sheet at March 31, 2019. Based on the foregoing, the Company believes it will have sufficient
cash to meet its needs for the next two months (through August 1, 2019) following the date from when the financial statements
are issued.
In addition, the Company
holds a Commitment Letter from its Chief Executive Officer and managing member of the Sponsor, whereby the managing member of
the Sponsor commits to funding any working capital shortfalls through the earlier of an initial business combination or the Company’s
liquidation. The loans would be issued as required and each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note, up to an aggregate of
$750,000. The loans will be non-interest bearing, unsecured and payable upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business
combination or at the holder’s discretion, convertible into warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per warrant, up
to a maximum of $182,372. If the Company does not complete a business combination, any such loans will be forgiven.
The Company may raise
additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or its stockholders, officers, directors, or third
parties. The Company’s officers and directors and the Sponsor may, but, except as described above, are not obligated to,
loan the Company funds, from time to time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s
working capital needs.
None of the Sponsor,
stockholders, officers or directors, or third parties is under any obligation to advance funds to, or invest in, the Company,
except for the $750,000 commitment discussed above. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If
the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which
could include, but not necessarily be limited to curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and
reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially
acceptable terms, if at all. Even if the Company can obtain sufficient financing or raise additional capital, it only has until
August 1, 2019 to consummate a business combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so prior to
August 1, 2019.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis
of presentation
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Emerging
growth company
The Company is an
“emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities
Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage
of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging
growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements,
and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval
of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)
(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective
or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial
accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with
the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has
elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different
application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard
at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements
with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company, which has opted out of
using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use
of estimates
The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires
management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition,
situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating
its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could
differ significantly from those estimates.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (Continued)
Cash
and cash equivalents
The Company considers
all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company
did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.
Cash
and marketable securities held in Trust Account
At March 31,
2019 and March 31, 2018, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash and U.S. Treasury Bills and are classified
as trading securities.
Common
stock subject to possible redemption
The Company accounts
for its Common Stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common Stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified
as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value.
Conditionally redeemable
Common Stock (including Common Stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject
to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary
equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Common Stock features certain redemption
rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events.
Accordingly, at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, Common Stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption
value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheets.
Income
taxes
The Company complies
with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability
approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
At March 31,
2019, management had determined that it is more likely than not, that its deferred income tax asset, which previously had been
reduced by a valuation allowance, will be realized within the next year. The deferred income tax asset of $216,000 arose from
tax benefits related to net operating losses not previously utilized.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes
a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized
tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, there were no unrecognized tax benefits
and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties.
The Company is currently
not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (Continued)
The Company may be
subject to potential examination by federal, state and city taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations
may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance
with federal, state and city tax laws. The Company has identified its Federal tax return and its State tax returns in Delaware,
Georgia, Louisiana, New York, and North Carolina as “major” tax jurisdictions. The Company’s management does
not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next year.
Net
loss per common share
The Company complies
with accounting and disclosure requirements ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per common share is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Shares of Common Stock subject
to possible redemption at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 have been excluded from the calculation of basic income
(loss) per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. The Company
has not considered the effect of (1) warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase 15,525,000
and 10,512,500 shares of Common Stock, respectively, (2) rights sold in the Initial Public Offering that convert into 3,105,000
shares of Common Stock, (3) the unit purchase option of 1,350,000 Units sold to the underwriters, exercisable at $10.00 per
Unit, which consists of 1,350,000 shares of Common Stock, 675,000 warrants (convertible into 675,000 shares of Common Stock),
and 1,350,000 rights (convertible into 135,000 shares of Common Stock) and, 4) the $1,317,628 promissory note, which is payable

warrants (“Warrants”) at a conversion price of $1.00 per Warrant, entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share
of Common Stock, par value $0.001, at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since
the exercise of the warrants, the conversion of the rights into shares of Common Stock and conversion of the working capital loan
are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per
common share for the periods.

POLICIES (Continued)
Reconciliation of net loss per
common share
The Company’s
net income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to Common Stock subject to redemption, as these shares only
participate in the income of the Trust Account and not the losses of the Company. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per common
share is calculated as follows:

Concentration
of credit risk
Financial instruments
that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which,
at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, the
Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on
such account.
Fair
value of financial instruments
The fair value of
the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their
short-term nature.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements
Management does not
believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material
effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial
Public Offering the Company sold 27,000,000 units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Common
Stock, par value of $0.001 of the Company (“Common Stock”), one right (“Public Right”) and one-half of
one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Right will convert into one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Common
Stock upon consummation of a Business Combination (see Note 8). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 (see Note 8).
On August 4,
2017, the over-allotment option was exercised in full and the underwriters purchased 4,050,000 additional Units at $10.00 per
Unit, generating gross proceeds of $40,500,000.
Proceeds of $310,500,000
from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants are held in the trust account, along with any additional interest
earned thereon not used to pay for taxes.
5. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with
the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor, MasTec and EBC purchased 9,500,000 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per warrant in
a private placement generating gross proceeds of $9,500,000. Simultaneously with the sale of the over-allotment Units, the Company
consummated the sale of an additional 1,012,500 warrants at $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $1,012,500. The proceeds
from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in
the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds of the
sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of
applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the
Warrants sold in the Offering except that the Private Placement Warrants (i) will not be redeemable by the Company and (ii) may
be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, so long as they are held by the initial purchaser or any of its permitted transferees.
In addition, the Private Placement Warrants and their component securities may not be transferable, assignable or salable until
30 days after the consummation of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder
Shares
In May 2016, the Company
issued 10,000 shares of Common Stock to the Sponsor for $10.
In May 2017, the Company
issued an additional 7,177,500 shares of Common Stock to the Sponsor and certain other persons (collectively, the “Founder
Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $24,990, or approximately $0.0035 per share. In June 2017, the Sponsor transferred
1,575,000 of such shares to MasTec for the same purchase price originally paid for such shares. In July 2017, the company effected
a stock dividend with respect to the Common Stock of 575,000 shares, resulting in the Initial Stockholders holding an aggregate
of 7,762,500 shares. All share and per share, amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock dividend. The Founder
Shares included an aggregate of up to 1,012,500 shares that were subject to forfeiture by the Initial Stockholders to the extent
that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Initial Stockholders would own,
on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Offering. As a result of the underwriters’
election to exercise their over-allotment option in full on August 4, 2017, 1,012,500 Founder Shares are no longer subject
to forfeiture.

The Initial Stockholders
have agreed that, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares will not be transferred, assigned or sold until one
year after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the last
sales price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends,
reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period.
Related
Party Loans
On June 8, 2018,
the Sponsor advanced the Company $1,000,000 for working capital purposes. On February 11, 2019, the Sponsor advanced the
Company an additional $317,628 for working capital purposes. On April 10, 2019 and May 9, 2019, the Sponsor advanced
the Company $150,000 and $250,000, respectively, for working capital purposes. The Working Capital Loans, evidenced by a promissory
note, are payable without interest upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the holder’s discretion, up to $1,500,000
of the notes may be converted into warrants (“Warrants”) at a conversion price of $1.00 per Warrant. Each Warrant
will contain terms identical to those of the warrants issued in the private placement, entitling the holder thereof to purchase
one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share as more fully described in the prospectus for the IPO dated
July 27, 2017.
In order to finance
transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, the Company’s officers and directors may, but
are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time, as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”).
Each Working Capital Loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The Working Capital Loans would either be paid upon consummation
of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the holder’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans
may be converted into Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Warrant. The Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
The Company received
a Commitment Letter from the managing member of the Sponsor, Pensare Sponsor Group, LLC (“PSG”), whereby the
managing member of PSG commits to funding any working capital shortfalls through the earlier of an initial business combination
or the Company’s liquidation. The loans would be issued as required and a promissory note, up to an aggregate of Seven Hundred
and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000), would evidence each loan. The loans will be non-interest bearing, unsecured and payable
upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination or at the holder’s discretion, up to $500,000
of the commitment may be convertible into warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per warrant. If the Company does not complete
a business combination, any such loans will be forgiven. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had no promissory notes outstanding
related to this commitment.
On January 16,
2019, the Company announced that the Sponsor had agreed to contribute to the Company as a loan $0.033 for each public share that
was not redeemed in connection with the stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate
of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for an additional three months,
from February 1, 2019 to May 1, 2019, for each calendar month (commencing on February 2, 2019 and on the second
day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that is needed by the Company to complete a Business Combination from February 2,
2019 until May 1, 2019. On February 1, 2019, the Company signed a promissory note agreeing to pay up to $2,797,117 of
advances to be made by the Sponsor to cover contribution payments due to the Trust Account. On April 29, 2019, the Company
held a special meeting of stockholders at which time the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination
for an additional three months, from May 1, 2019 to August 1, 2019. On April 22, 2019, the Company announced that
the Sponsor, had agreed to contribute as a loan, $0.033 for each share of common stock issued in the initial public offering that
was not redeemed in connection with the stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate
of incorporation to extend the date by which they have to consummate a business combination for an additional three months, from
May 1, 2019 to August 1, 2019. The contribution was deposited in the trust account established in connection with the
Company’s initial public offering. On May 9, 2019, the Company signed a promissory note agreeing to repay $805,916
for an advance made by the Sponsor as an additional contribution payment to the Trust Account. On May 31, 2019, the Company
announced that the Sponsor will reduce its contributions to the Trust Account. The Sponsor will continue to pay to the Trust Account
$0.033 per public share that has not been redeemed per month, but the total monthly payment will be no greater than $200,000.
If more than 6,060,606 public shares remain outstanding after redemptions in connection with this adjustment, then the amount
paid per share will be reduced proportionately. In connection with this announcement, the Company offered the public stockholders
the right to redeem their shares of common stock for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account.

8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred Stock—The
Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001. At March 31, 2019 and March 31,
2018, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Common Stock—The
Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. Holders of the Company’s
Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, there were 9,033,268
and 8,469,986, respectively, shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, (excluding 26,982,942 and 30,342,514 shares of common
stock subject to possible redemption).
Rights—Each
holder of a right will receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Common Stock upon consummation of a Business Combination, even
if the holder of such right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares will
be issued upon exchange of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order
to receive its additional shares upon consummation of a Business Combination as the consideration related thereto has been included
in the Unit purchase price paid for by investors in the Initial Public Offering. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement
for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the
holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the Common Stock will receive in the transaction
on an as-converted into Common Stock basis and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively covert its rights in order
to receive 1/10 share underlying each right (without paying additional consideration). The shares issuable upon exchange
of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).

8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (Continued)
If the Company is
unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust
Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution
from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless.
Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of
a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights.
Warrants—Public
Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants.
The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination
or; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available. The Company
has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination,
the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities
Act, of the shares of Common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause
the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating
thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of Common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is
not effective within 90 business days immediately following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until
such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain
an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9)
of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders
will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion
of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Private Placement
Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Offering, except that the Private Placement
Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable
or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally,
the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial
purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers
or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders
on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
The Company may redeem
the Public Warrants (except with respect to the Placement Warrants):
|

|
in
whole and not in part;
|
|
·
|
at
a price of $0.01 per warrant;

to the warrant holders; and
|
|

if,

|
If the Company calls
the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants
to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.
The exercise price
and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including
in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not
be adjusted for issuance of Common Stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required
to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and
the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect
to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with
the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
Unit Purchase
Options—The Company sold to EBC and its co-underwriters, for $100, an option to purchase up to 1,350,000 units exercisable
at $10.00 per Unit (or an aggregate exercise price of $13,500,000) commencing on the consummation of a Business Combination. The
unit purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and expires on July 27,
2022. The Units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to those offered in the Offering. The Company has accounted
for the unit purchase option, inclusive of the receipt of $100 cash payment, as an expense of the Offering resulting in a charge
directly to stockholders’ equity.
The Company estimated
that the fair value of this unit purchase option was approximately $4,547,505 (or $3.37 per Unit) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing
model. The fair value of the unit purchase option granted to the underwriters was estimated as of the date of grant using the
following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 35%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 1.80% and (3) expected life
of five years. The option and the 1,350,000 Units have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day
lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA’s NASDAQ Conduct Rules. Additionally, the option may not be sold, transferred,
assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a one-year period (including the foregoing 180-day period) following the date of Offering
except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the Offering and their bona fide officers or partners. The option
grants to holders demand and “piggy back” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective
date of the registration statement with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the securities directly and indirectly
issuable upon exercise of the option. The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other
than underwriting commissions, which will be paid for by the holders themselves. The exercise price and number of units issuable
upon exercise of the option may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or the Company’s
recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the option will not be adjusted for issuances of Common Stock
at a price below its exercise price.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company follows
guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured at fair value at each reporting period, and
non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of
the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have
received in connection with the sale of the assets paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities,
the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the
use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following
fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in
order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for
the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Observable inputs other
than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities
and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs
based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following table
presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31,
2019 and March 31, 2018, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine
such fair value:

10. INCOME TAX
On December 31,
2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Job Acts of 2017 (“Tax Reform”) was signed into law. As a result of Tax Reform, the U.S.
statutory tax rate was lowered from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, among other changes. ASC Topic 740 requires companies
to recognize the effect of tax law changes in the period of enactment; therefore, the Company would be required to revalue its
deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2017 at the new rate. The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118
(“SAB 118”) to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information
available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain tax effects
of Tax Reform.

As of March 31,
2019, the Company has a federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $1,804,000, which expires in year 2038. Upon
confirmation of an ownership change, the net operating loss would be reduced and any remaining net operating loss utilization
would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
A valuation allowance
has been established to offset the net deferred tax asset to the extent the Company has determined that it is more likely than
not that the future tax benefits will be realized.
The Company files a
federal income tax return and separate income tax returns in various states. For federal and certain states, the 2016 through
2018 tax years remain open for examination by the tax authorities under the normal three-year statute of limitations.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The Company evaluates
subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued.
Except as follows, the Company did not identify subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial
statements other than the following. On April 22, 2019, the Company announced that its sponsor, had agreed to contribute
as a loan, $0.033 for each share of common stock issued in the initial public offering that was not redeemed in connection with
the stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend
the date by which it has to consummate a business combination for an additional three months, from May 1, 2019 to August 1,
2019. On April 29, 2019, at the Special Meeting of the Company’s Stockholders, the stockholders approved an amendment
to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business
combination for an additional three months, from May 1, 2019 to August 1, 2019. The amendment was approved with 26,163,835
votes cast in favor of the amendment, 2,020,001 votes cast against the amendment and 422,075 abstentions. In connection with the
special meeting and the resulting amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, 3,831,985 shares of our
common stock were redeemed from funds available in the Trust Account, for a redemption amount of approximately $10.33 per share.
On May 31, 2019,
the Company announced that the Company’s sponsor would reduce its contributions to the trust account established in connection
with the Company’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). The Company’s sponsor will continue
to pay the Trust Account $0.033 per Public Share that has not been redeemed per month, but the total monthly payment will be no
greater than $200,000. The Company is currently active in discussion with a target company regarding a potential business combination
that is anticipated to require an amount of funding less than the current balance of the Trust Account to consummate the business
combination. There can be no assurance that the Company will enter into a business combination agreement with the target company
or that this or another potential business combination will be completed.

INDEX
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
STRATOS
MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and
Stockholders
of Stratos Management Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Stratos Management Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries dba: Computex Technology
Solutions (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Change
in Accounting Principle
As
discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for revenue in 2019
due to the adoption of the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers. The Company adopted this change using the modified retrospective approach.
Emphasis
of Matter
As
more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company announced the completion of its Merger and Business Combination
with American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. (“American Virtual”) on April 7, 2020. Subsequent to that, the Company
will continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of American Virtual, through a newly formed entity Tango Merger Sub Corp.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered
with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to
the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is
not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our
audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Basis
of presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Stratos Management Systems, Inc. dba: Computex Technology
Solutions (the Parent) and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Computex North, Computex South, eNET, and Stratos Ireland Limited (the
Subsidiaries). All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax asset
valuation allowance, income taxes, equity instruments, and the purchase price allocation associated with business combinations.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which created Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Topic 606 (Topic 606) with a date of initial application of January 1, 2019. As a result, the Company changed their
accounting policy for revenue recognition as detailed below.
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
goods 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 allow for the Company to recognize revenue when the product reaches the customer's location.
Revenue
Recognition for Hardware
Revenues
from sales of hardware products are recognized on a gross basis as the Company is acting as a principal in these transactions,
with the selling price to the customer recorded as Sales and the acquisition cost of the product recorded as Cost of Sales. The
Company recognizes revenue from these transactions when control has passed to the customer, which is usually upon delivery of
the product to the customer.
In
some instances, the customer agrees to buy the product from the Company but requests delivery at a later date, commonly known
as bill-and-hold arrangements. For these transactions, the Company deems that control passes to the customer when the product
is ready for delivery. The Company views products ready for delivery when the customer has a signed agreement, significant risk
and rewards for the products, the ability to direct the assets, the products have been set aside specifically for the customer
and cannot be redirected to another customer.
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 warehouses. The Company is the principal in the transaction and recognizes revenue
for drop-shipment arrangements on a gross basis.
Revenue
Recognition for Software
Revenues
from most software license sales are recognized as a single performance obligation on a net basis as the Company is acting as
an agent in these transactions at the point the software license is delivered to the customer. Generally, software licenses are
sold with accompanying third-party delivered software support, which is a product that allows customers to upgrade, at no additional
cost, to the latest technology if new capabilities are introduced during the period that the software support is in effect. The
Company evaluates whether the software support is a separate performance obligation by assessing if the third-party delivered
software support is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software itself. This involves considering if the software
provides its original intended functionality to the customer without the updates, if the customer would ascribe a higher value
to the upgrades versus the up-front deliverable, if the customer would expect frequent intelligence updates to the software (such
as updates that maintain the original functionality), and if the customer chooses to not delay or always install upgrades. If
the Company determines that the accompanying third-party delivered software support is critical or essential to the core functionality
of the software license, the software license and the accompanying third-party delivered software support are recognized as a
single performance obligation. The value of the product is primarily the accompanying support delivered by a third-party and therefore
the Company is acting as an agent in these transactions and recognizes them on a net basis at the point the associated software
license is delivered to the customer.
Revenue
Recognition for Third-Party Services
The
Company is the agent in sales of third-party maintenance, software support and services as the third-party controls the service
until it is transferred to the customer. The Company recognizes sales on a net basis equal to the selling price to the customer
less the acquisition cost. The Company recognizes revenue from these sales when the customer and vendor accept the terms and conditions
of the arrangement.
Revenue
Recognition for Managed and Professional Services
The
Company’s professional services offerings include assessments, project management, and staging, configuration, and integration.
The managed service offerings range from monitoring and notification to a fully outsourced network management solution. In these
arrangements, the Company satisfies the performance obligations and recognizes revenue over time.
The
Company provides professional services under both time and materials and fixed price contracts. When services are provided on
a time and materials basis, the Company recognizes revenues at agreed-upon billing rates as services are performed. When services
are provided on a fixed fee basis, the Company recognizes revenues over time in proportion to the Company’s progress toward
complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
In
arrangements for managed services, the Company’s arrangement is typically a single performance obligation comprised of a
series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of
service). The Company typically recognize revenues from these services on a straight-line basis over the period services are provided,
which is consistent with the timing of services rendered.
Freight
and Sales Tax
The
Company presents freight billed to customers within Sales and the related freight charged to the Company within Cost of Sales.
The Company presents sales tax collected from customers and remittances to governmental authorities on a net basis.
Contract
Liabilities
The
Company recognizes contract liabilities when cash payments are received or due in advance of the Company’s performance obligations.
Costs
of Obtaining and Fulfilling a Contract
The
Company capitalizes costs that are incremental to obtaining customer contracts, predominately sales commissions, and expenses
them in proportion to each completed contract performance obligation. The costs are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis
over the period during which the Company fulfills its performance obligation.
Costs
associated with contracts where the Company has an obligation to perform services, are incurred specifically to assist the Company
in rendering services to its customers and are recorded as deferred customer support contract costs at the time the costs are
incurred. The costs are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the period during which the Company fulfills its performance
obligation.
Cash
The
Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced
any losses in such accounts. The Company does not have any compensating balance requirements.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company grants credit to customers in the normal course of business. Accounts receivable are unsecured and are presented net of
an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based upon a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts
receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations
to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. Payment is required 30 days after receipt
of the invoice. Accounts more than 45 days past due are individually analyzed for collectability. When all collection efforts
have been exhausted the accounts are written off. Historically, the Company has not suffered significant losses with respect to
trade accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $138 and $70 at December 31,2019 and 2018, respectively.
Inventory
Inventories
are valued at lower of average cost (which approximates first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Inventory consists
of purchased components for resale. Management evaluates the need for an inventory obsolescence reserve by identifying slow-moving
or obsolete inventory. Management determined a reserve for slow-moving or obsolete inventory was not necessary at December 31,
2019 and 2018.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are carried at cost. Major additions and betterments are charged to the property accounts while maintenance and
repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed currently. Depreciation is computed based
on the cost of the asset, using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Definite
Lived Intangible Assets
Definite-lived
intangible assets arising from business combinations include customer relationships, trademarks and noncompetition agreements.
These intangible assets are amortized over the estimated period during which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly
to future cash flows.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
The
Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying amount
of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset group.
If the asset or asset group is considered to be impaired, an impairment loss would be recorded to adjust the carrying amounts
to the estimated fair value. Management has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets exists, and accordingly, no adjustments
to the carrying amounts of the Company’s long-lived assets have been made for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and
2017.
Goodwill
Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, in December, or more frequently if a triggering event occurs between impairment
testing dates. The Company operates as a single operating segment and as a single reporting unit for the purpose of evaluating
goodwill impairment. The Company's impairment assessment begins with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more
likely than not that fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The qualitative assessment includes comparing
the overall financial performance of the Company against the planned results used in the last quantitative goodwill impairment
test. Additionally, the Company's fair value is assessed in light of certain events and circumstances, including macroeconomic
conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, and other relevant entity and Company specific events. The selection
and assessment of qualitative factors used to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting
unit exceeds the carrying value involves significant judgment and estimates. If it is determined under the qualitative assessment
that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then a two-step quantitative
impairment test is performed. Under the first step, the estimated fair value of the Company would be compared with its carrying
value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the Company exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed.
If the estimated fair value of the Company is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the
Company and it would need to perform step two of the impairment test. Under step two, an impairment loss would be recognized for
any excess of the carrying amount of the Company's goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. Fair value of the Company
under the two-step assessment is determined using a combination of both income and market-based approaches. There were no goodwill
impairments identified for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.
Debt
Issuance Costs
Debt
issuance costs represent costs that qualify for deferral associated with the issuance of new debt or the modification of existing
debt facilities. The unamortized balance of debt issuance costs is presented as a reduction to the carrying value of long-term
debt. Debt issuance costs are amortized and recognized on the consolidated statements of operations as interest expense.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method pursuant to GAAP. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the expected future consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized
in the period of the change. Further, deferred tax assets are recognized for the expected realization of available net operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is recorded on gross deferred tax assets when it is "more likely
than not" that such asset will not be realized. When evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, all evidence, both
positive and negative, is evaluated. Items considered in this analysis include the ability to carry back losses, the reversal
of temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and expectations of future earnings. The Company reviews its deferred tax assets
on a quarterly basis to determine if a valuation allowance is required based upon these factors. Changes in the Company's assessment
of the need for a valuation allowance could give rise to a change in such allowance, potentially resulting in additional expense
or benefit in the period of change.
The
Company's income tax provision includes U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and is based on pre-tax income or loss. In
determining the annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzed various factors, including its annual earnings and taxing
jurisdictions in which the earnings were generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, and its ability to use tax credits
and net operating loss carryforwards.
Under
GAAP, the amount of tax benefit to be recognized is the amount of benefit that is "more likely than not" to be sustained
upon examination. The Company analyzes its tax filing positions in all of the U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign tax jurisdictions
where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as for all open tax years in these jurisdictions. If, based on this analysis,
the Company determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist, a liability is established in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in the provision for income taxes.
The
Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state authorities in accordance with prescribed statutes.
Deferred
Rent
The
Company leases real estate which calls for escalating rent payments. In accordance with accounting standards, the Company recognizes
lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The differences between the cash payments called for under the lease
arrangements and the rent expense recognized on a straight-line basis are recorded as deferred rent. The deferred rent will be
reduced when the cash payments exceed the straight-line rent expense. Cumulative straight-line rent expense exceeded cash payments
for rent by approximately $158 and $265 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Fair
value
Fair
value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required
or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact,
and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
Authoritative
literature provides a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into
three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based upon the
lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:
|
●
|
Level
1 — inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities
traded in active markets.
|
|
●
|
Level
2 — inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that
are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions
are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially
the full term of the assets or liabilities.
|
|
●
|
Level
3 — inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s
estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option
pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
|
Fair
Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Assets
measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill, tangible assets, and intangible assets. Such assets are reviewed
annually for impairment indicators. If a triggering event has occurred, the assets are re-measured when the estimated fair value
of the corresponding asset group is less than the carrying value. The fair value measurements, in such instances, are based on
significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include trade accounts receivable, deposits, accounts payable
and accrued expenses and debt at floating interest rates, approximate their fair values at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively,
principally due to the short-term nature, maturities or nature of interest rates of the above listed items.
Advertising
The
Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs charged to operations for the years ended December
31,2019, 2018 and 2017 totaled approximately $189, $705 and $720, respectively.
Vendor
Considerations
The
Company receives payments and credits from vendors and distributors on a quarterly basis. Consideration received includes volume-based
incentives and reimbursement for marketing expenses. Volume-based incentive payments are recorded as a reduction of cost of goods
sold. Marketing-based incentive payments are recorded as a reduction to advertising expense in the period the program takes place.
Equity-Based
Compensation
The
parent of the Company, Stratos Management Systems Holdings, LLC, has issued Class A and B incentive common units of ownership
of the Parent to certain management members of the Company. The incentive common units granted consist of time-based units and
performance-based units. Time-based units vest based on the amount of time a management member serves at the Company, and performance-based
units vest upon the sale of the Company or if certain common ownership valuation metrics are met. The Company performed an analysis
and determined the units had a fair value that was immaterial at each respective date of grant and, accordingly, has not recorded
any compensation expense.
Net
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic
net earnings or loss per common share is computed by dividing net earnings or loss by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding at the end of the reporting period. Diluted net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net
earnings or loss by the fully dilutive common stock equivalent. The Company has no potentially dilutive shares for the years ended
December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.
Business
Concentrations
Financial
instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and trade accounts
receivable. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts with balances regularly exceeding the federally insured limit. The
Company did not have any cash deposits exceeding federally insured limits at December 31, 2019.
No
one customer accounted for more than 10% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2019. One customer accounted for approximately
10% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2018. One customer accounted for approximately 13% of sales for the year ended December
31, 2017.
One
customer accounted for approximately 11% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2019. Three customers accounted for approximately
34% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2018.
Segment
Reporting
The
Company reports operating results and financial data in one operating and reportable segment. The Company's Chief Executive Officer
is the chief operating decision maker and manages the Company as a single profit center in order to promote collaboration, provide
comprehensive service offerings across its entire customer base, and provide incentives to employees based on the success of the
organization as a whole. Although certain information regarding selected products or services is discussed for purposes of promoting
an understanding of the Company's complex business, the chief operating decision maker manages the Company and allocates resources
at the consolidated level.
Foreign
Operations
Operations
outside the United States include a subsidiary in Ireland. Foreign operations are subject to risks inherent in operating under
different legal systems and various political and economic environments. Among the risks are changes in existing tax laws, possible
limitations on foreign investment and income repatriation, government price or foreign exchange controls, and restrictions on
currency exchange. Net assets of foreign operations are less than 10% of the Company’s total net assets.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize
the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: 1) A lease liability, which is
a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and 2) A right-of-use
asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease
term. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize
lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. The amendments
in this ASU are effective for private companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods
within those years. The Company is evaluating this ASU and has not determined the effect of this standard on its ongoing financial
reporting.
In
July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and
Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of the Update change the reclassification analysis of certain equity-linked
financial instruments (or embedded features) with down-round features. The amendments in Part II of this Update re-characterize
the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a
scope exception. The amendments in Part I of this Update was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning after December 15, 2019 for private companies. The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition
guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU will
have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
As
a result of the Merger described in Note 1 above, on April 7, 2020, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of American Virtual
Cloud Technologies, Inc., a public entity. American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. qualifies as an emerging growth company pursuant
to the provision of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an
emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain new accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply
to private companies. American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period
provided by the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, the change in the Company from a
non-public to a public entity will not result in any change to the ASU effective dates outlined above.
The
Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a
material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of changes in equity, statements of operations
and statements of cash flows.

RECENTLY
ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The
Company adopted Topic 606 with a date of initial application of January 1, 2019. Topic 606 also includes Subtopic 340-40, “Other
Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers,” (Subtopic 340) which requires the deferral of incremental costs
of obtaining a contract with a customer
The
Company applied Topic 606 using the modified retrospective transition method. In adopting the new standard, the net cumulative
effect from prior periods of applying the guidance in Topic 606 was recognized as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening
balance of accumulated deficit in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. Additionally, the Company has elected
the option to only account for contracts that remained open as of the January 1, 2019 transition date in accordance with Topic
606. Revenue recognition for contracts for which substantially all of the revenue was recognized in accordance with the revenue
guidance in effect before January 1, 2019 has not been changed. The comparative information as of December 31, 2018 and for the
years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 have not been adjusted and continue to be reported under the previously applicable accounting
standards. The details of the significant changes and quantitative impact of the changes are set forth below.
|
●
|
For
sales transactions for certain software products that are sold with integral third-party
delivered software support, the Company changed its accounting policy to record both
the software license and the accompanying software support on a net basis, as the agent
in the arrangement, given the predominant nature of the goods and services provided to
the customer. Under previous guidance, the Company bifurcated the sale of the software
license from the sale of the support contract, recorded the sale of both the software
product and software support on a gross sales recognition basis. This change has no effect
on reported gross profit dollars associated with these transactions.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
For
sales transactions for maintenance, software support and services that are to be performed
by a third- party, the Company changed its accounting policy to record these sales on
a net basis equal to the selling price to the customer less the acquisition cost as the
third-party controls the service as it is transferred to the customer. The Company recognizes
revenue from these sales when the customer and vendor accept the terms and conditions
of the arrangement. Under previous guidance, the Company recorded the sales of third-party
maintenance, software support and services contracts on a gross sales recognition basis.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
The
accounting for sales commissions on contracts with performance periods that exceed one
year changed such that the Company records such sales commissions as an asset and amortizes
them to expense over the related contract performance period. Under previous guidance,
certain sales commissions were expensed in the period the transaction was generated.
|
The
total cumulative effect adjustment from prior periods that the Company recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as of January
1, 2019 as an adjustment to accumulated deficit was $99.

Synetra,
Inc.
Prior
to its acquisition by the Company on August 1, 2018, Synetra was a private company engaged in providing vital applications and
devices with communications using user’s network as a platform, such as VoIP telephone service, audio and video conferencing,
and voice mail. It also offers hosted voice and video solutions, data center, and cloud solutions. Additionally, Synetra provides
network infrastructure and security services. With the acquisition, the Company acquired certain customer contracts and expanded
its presence in the Texas market.
The
acquisition price totaled $2,400 consisting of seller-financed notes of $1,450 and $950. Both of these notes are nonnegotiable
unsecured subordinate promissory notes with due dates of August 1, 2020. The Company evaluated the intangible assets associated
with the acquisition and goodwill of approximately $921 was recognized as part of the acquisition resulting from the purchase
price exceeding the fair value of the net assets acquired.
The
Company incurred approximately $330 in transaction costs in 2018 related to the Synetra acquisition which are recorded in selling,
general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations.

REVOLVING
CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT
|
The
Original agreement with Comerica Bank (the Comerica credit agreement) provides for a maximum credit facility of $25,000, consisting
of a $15,000 revolving note payable and a $10,000 term note. Both the revolving credit and term note mature December 18, 2022.
The balance on the revolving note was $6,051 and $7,793 at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
On
August 1, 2018, the Company entered into a First Amendment of the Comerica credit agreement (the First amendment agreement) with
Comerica Bank. The First Amendment agreement provided for an increase of the revolving credit note from $15,000 to $16,000. On
June 27, 2019, the Company entered into a Second Amendment of the Comerica credit agreement (the Second amendment agreement) with
Comerica Bank. The Second Amendment agreement increased the revolving credit note from $16,000 to $20,000.
All
obligations outstanding under the credit agreement accrue interest at the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate
plus an additional margin. The additional margin is based upon the Company’s total leverage ratio, as defined in the credit
agreement, and ranges from 3.0% to 3.75%. The effective rate for the revolver was 5.48% and 6.10% at December 31, 2019 and 2018,
respectively. The effective rate of the term loan was 5.53% and 6.25% at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively
The
credit agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants including, but not limited to, a maximum senior leverage
ratio, a maximum fixed charge coverage ratio, and a limit on the amount of annual capital expenditures (the “cover ratios”).
As of December 31, 2019, the Company failed to maintain the maximum senior leverage and fixed charge cover ratio covenants, but
obtained a waiver for the failed coverage ratio covenants as of that date on March 5, 2020.
As
fully described on Note 1, the Company announced the completion of its Merger on April 7, 2020. As a result of the transaction,
the Comerica Credit Agreement described above was assumed by American Virtual as of April 7, 2020 upon consummation of the Merger.
During
2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap arrangement to partially mitigate the variability of cash flows due to changes
in the Eurodollar rate, specifically related to interest payments on the term loan under the Comerica credit agreement. The interest
rate swap has a notional amount of $4,464 and a maturity date of August 2, 2021. The fixed interest rate is 3.04% with a corresponding
floating interest rate of 1-month LIBOR. The interest rate swap does not qualify for hedge accounting and the Company determined
that the fair value of the related derivative liability was not material and accordingly, did not record the liability at December
31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
Total
long-term debt excluding the revolving note as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consists of the following:

prepayment shall be required for any year in which the combined value of all eligible accounts and all eligible inventory as evidenced
by the borrowing base certificate is greater than the aggregate amount of the senior funded debt and the senior leverage ratio
is less than 2.0 as of December 31 of such year. No excess cash flow payment was due for the years ended December 31, 2019 and
2018.

The
Company’s effective income tax rate is lower than what would be expected if the federal statutory rate were applied to income
before income taxes primarily because of certain expenses deductible for financial reporting purposes that are not deductible
for tax purposes, research and development tax credits, operating loss carryforwards, and adjustments to previously recorded deferred
tax assets and liabilities due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017.
The
Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $11,900 that begin to expire in 2036.
The
Company assesses available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated
to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence identified during management’s
evaluation was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2019. Such objective evidence limits
the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our forecasts of future taxable income and tax planning strategies.
On the basis of this evaluation as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized a valuation allowance against its net
deferred tax assets under the criteria of ASC 740 of $3,549 and $897, respectively.
The
Company evaluated its tax positions and determined that no uncertain tax positions existed as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
The
Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the consolidated
financial statements were issued.
Except
as described below, the Company did not identify subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated
financial statements other than the following.
In
connection with the Business Combination (Note 1), American Virtual filed a Form 8-K statement with the SEC relating to the Business
Combination on April 7, 2020.
In
December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak
to constitute a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” The COVID-19 outbreak is disrupting supply chains
and affecting production and sales across a range of industries. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial
performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our customers, employees
and vendors all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial
condition or results of operations is uncertain.
