NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2017

NOTE 1.
ORGANIZATION:

AMERI Holdings, Inc. is a fast-growing technology services company which provides SAP cloud, digital and enterprise services to clients worldwide. Headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey Ameri100 has offices in the U.S. and Canada.  The Company additionally has global delivery centers in India. With its bespoke engagement model, Ameri100 delivers transformational value to its clients across industry verticals.

NOTE 2.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Certain information and disclosure notes normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which were of a normal, recurring nature) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the interim periods presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) plus or minus any periodic currency translation adjustments.

The Company’s year-end is December 31. Ameri and Partners Inc, the Company’s wholly-owned operating subsidiary that was the accounting acquirer in connection with the Company’s May 2015 reverse merger, changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31 pursuant to the merger, so that all of the Company’s subsidiaries’ year-ends are consistent with the year-end of the Company.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company erroneously classified approximately $1.9 million of expenses as general and administrative expenses which should have been classified as cost of revenue. The Company has corrected this error in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The reclassification did not change the Company’s net income or loss for the period reported.

The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period. The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New Standards to Be Implemented

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605).” This ASU requires an entity to recognize revenue when goods are transferred or services are provided to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires disclosures enabling users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), deferral of the Effective Date.” With the issuance of ASU 2015-14, the new revenue guidance ASU 2014-09 will be effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, using one of two prescribed retrospective methods. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.” The guidance is applicable from the date of applicability of ASU 2014-09. This ASU finalizes the amendments to the guidance on the new revenue standard on the identification of performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements (Topic 606)” which is applicable from the date of applicability of ASU 2014-09. This guidance provides optional exemptions from the disclosure requirement for remaining performance obligations for specific situations in which an entity need not estimate variable consideration to recognize revenue. In May 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”. This amendment clarified certain aspects of Topic 606 and will be applicable from the date of applicability of ASU 2014-09. The Company is in process of evaluating the impact of the foregoing updates.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. This new standard replaces the existing guidance on leases and requires the lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with lease terms equal to or greater than twelve months. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset, and for operating leases, the lessee would recognize total lease expense on a straight-line basis. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2018. Upon adoption, entities will be required to use a modified retrospective transition which provides for certain practical expedients. Entities are required to apply the new standard at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. Early adoption of this new standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company does not expect the requirement to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for operating leases to have a material impact on the presentation of its consolidated statements of financial position.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (ASU 2016-15), which clarifies how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Based on its current assessment, the Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which is intended to reduce diversity in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. This new standard requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included as components of total cash and cash equivalents as presented on the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within those fiscal years, but earlier adoption is permitted.  The Company does not believe the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. Under this new standard, goodwill impairment would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. This ASU eliminates existing guidance that requires an entity to determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by hypothetically assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment test performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is in process of evaluating the impact of these updates.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies and provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for acquisition or deconsolidation transactions occurring before the issuance date or effective date and only when the transactions have not been reported in issued or made available for issuance financial statements. The Company does not believe the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Standards Implemented

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”. The guidance eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for a measurement period adjustment retrospectively. Instead, an acquirer will recognize a measurement period adjustment during the period in which the amount of the adjustment is determined. In addition, the portion of the amount recorded in current period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date should be presented separately on the face of the income statement or disclosed in the notes. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. The new guidance changes the accounting for share based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Acquisition of Ameri Georgia

On November 20, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Bellsoft, Inc., a consulting company based in Lawrenceville, Georgia with over 175 consultants specialized in the areas of SAP software, business intelligence, data warehousing and other enterprise resource planning services. Following the acquisition, the name of Bellsoft, Inc. was changed to Ameri100 Georgia Inc. (“Ameri Georgia”). Ameri Georgia has operations in the United States, Canada and India. For financial accounting purposes, we recognized September 1, 2015 as the effective date of the acquisition. The total consideration for the acquisition of Ameri Georgia was $9,910,817, consisting of:

(a)
A cash payment in the amount of $3,000,000, which was paid at closing;

(b)
235,295 shares of our common stock issued at closing;

(c)
$250,000 quarterly cash payments paid on the last day of each calendar quarter of 2016;

(d)
A $1,000,000 cash reimbursement paid 5 days following closing to compensate Ameri Georgia for a portion of its approximate cash balance as of September 1, 2015;

(e)
Approximately $2,910,817 paid within 30 days of closing in connection with the excess of Ameri Georgia’s accounts receivable over its accounts payable as of September 1, 2015; and

(f)
Earn-out payments of approximately $500,000 a year for 2016 and 2017, if earned through the achievement of annual revenue and earnings before interest taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) targets specified in the purchase agreement, subject to downward or upward adjustment depending on actual results.

The earn-out for 2016 was 30% higher than the previously agreed targets, resulting in a higher than anticipated earn-out payment, and the excess of the 2016 earn-out payment over what was planned was made as an adjustment to our income statement.

The valuation of Ameri Georgia was made on the basis of its projected revenues. The accounting acquisition date for Ameri Georgia was determined on the basis of the date when the Company acquired control of Ameri Georgia, in accordance with FASB codification ASU 805-10-25-6 for business combinations. That ASU provides that the date on which the acquirer obtains control of the acquiree generally is the date on which the acquirer legally transfers the consideration, acquires the assets, and assumes the liabilities of the acquiree—the closing date. However, the acquirer might obtain control on a date that is either earlier or later than the closing date. For example, the acquisition date precedes the closing date if a written agreement provides that the acquirer obtains control of the acquiree on a date before the closing date. An acquirer shall consider all pertinent facts and circumstances in identifying the acquisition date.  The term sheet and the Share Purchase Agreement that were entered into by the Company and Ameri Georgia contained agreements by the parties that the Company acquired control of Ameri Georgia’s accounts payable, accounts receivable and business decisions as of September 1, 2015. In addition, on that date, the Company became responsible for performance of Ameri Georgia’s existing contracts. Accordingly, the Company has recognized September 1, 2015 as the accounting acquisition date.
The total purchase price of $9,910,817 was allocated to net working capital of $4.6 million, intangibles of $1.8 million, taking into consideration projected revenue from the acquired list of Ameri Georgia customers over a period of three years, and goodwill. The excess of total purchase price over the net working capital and intangibles allocations has been allocated to goodwill.

The Company paid $261,876 in cash to the former shareholders of Ameri Georgia as earn-out payments during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Acquisition of Bigtech Software Private Limited

On June 23, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Bigtech Software Private Limited (“Bigtech”), a pure-play SAP services company providing a complete range of SAP services including turnkey implementations, application management, training and basis ABAP support. Based in Bangalore, India, Bigtech offers SAP services to improve business operations at companies of all sizes and verticals. The acquisition of Bigtech was effective as of July 1, 2016, and the total consideration for the acquisition of Bigtech was $850,000, consisting of:

(a)
A cash payment in the amount of $340,000, which was due within 90 days of closing and was paid on September 22, 2016;

(b)
Warrants for the purchase of 51,000 shares of our common stock (valued at approximately $250,000 based on the $6.51 closing price of our common stock on the closing date of the acquisition), with such warrants exercisable for two years; and

(c)
$255,000, which may become payable in cash earn-outs to the sellers of Bigtech, if Bigtech achieves certain pre-determined revenue and EBITDA targets in 2017 and 2018. We estimate the earn-out payments to be earned at 100% of the targets set forth in the purchase agreement.

Bigtech’s financial results are included in our condensed consolidated financial results starting July 1, 2016.  The Bigtech acquisition did not constitute a significant acquisition for the Company. The valuation of Bigtech was made on the basis of its projected revenues.

The total purchase price of $850,000 was allocated to intangibles of $595,000, taking into consideration projected revenue from the acquired list of Bigtech customers over a period of three years, and goodwill. The excess of total purchase price over the intangibles allocation has been allocated to goodwill.  The Bigtech acquisition did not constitute a significant acquisition for the Company.

Acquisition of Virtuoso
On July 22, 2016, we, through wholly-owned acquisition subsidiaries, acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Virtuoso, L.L.C. (“Virtuoso”), a Kansas limited liability company, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, by and among us, Virtuoso Acquisition Inc., Ameri100 Virtuoso Inc., Virtuoso and the sole member of Virtuoso (the “Sole Member”). Virtuoso is a SAP consulting firm specialized in providing services on SAP S/4 HANA finance, enterprise mobility and cloud migration and is based in Leawood, Kansas. In connection with the merger, Virtuoso’s name was changed to Ameri100 Virtuoso Inc. The Virtuoso acquisition did not constitute a significant acquisition for the Company.

The total purchase price paid to the Sole Member for the acquisition of Virtuoso was $1,831,881 consisting of:

(a)
A cash payment in the amount of $675,000, which was due within 90 days of closing and was paid on October 21, 2016;

(b)
101,250 shares of our common stock at closing, valued at approximately $700,000 based on the $6.51 closing price of our common stock on the closing date of the acquisition; and
(c) Earn-out payments in cash and stock of $450,000 and approximately $560,807, respectively, to be paid, if earned, through the achievement of annual revenue and gross margin targets in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Out of the total contingent consideration of approximately $1,000,000, we only considered 50% of the earn-out in the purchase price, mainly due to the reorganization of Virtuoso.

The total purchase price of $1,831,881 was allocated to intangibles of $0.9 million, taking into consideration projected revenue from the acquired list of Virtuoso customers over a period of three years, and the balance was allocated to goodwill. The Virtuoso earn-out payments for 2016 amounted to $64,736 in cash and 12,408 shares of common stock, which were delivered to the Sole Member during the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Acquisition of Ameri Arizona

On July 29, 2016, we acquired 100% of the membership interests of DC&M Partners, L.L.C. (“Ameri Arizona”), an Arizona limited liability company, pursuant to the terms of a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement by and among us, Ameri Arizona, all of the members of Ameri Arizona, Giri Devanur and Srinidhi “Dev” Devanur, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice Chairman, respectively. In July 2017, the name of DC&M Partners, L.L.C. was changed to Ameri100 Arizona LLC. Ameri Arizona is a SAP consulting company headquartered in Chandler, Arizona. Ameri Arizona provides its clients with a wide range of information technology development, consultancy and management services with an emphasis on the design, build and rollout of SAP implementations and related products. Ameri Arizona is also a SAP-certified software partner, having launched its SAP reporting, extraction and distribution tool called “IRIS”. Ameri Arizona services clients in diverse industries, including retail, apparel/footwear, third-party logistics providers, chemicals, consumer goods, energy, high-tech electronics, media/entertainment and aerospace.

The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition of Ameri Arizona was $15,816,000 consisting of:

(a)
A cash payment in the amount of $3,000,000 at closing;

(b)
1,600,000 shares of our common stock (valued at approximately $10.4 million based on the $6.51 closing price of our common stock on the closing date of the acquisition), which are to be issued on July 29, 2018 or upon a change of control of our company (whichever occurs earlier); and

(c)
Earn-out payments of $1,500,000 payable in cash each year to be paid, if earned, through the achievement of annual revenue and gross margin in 2017 and 2018.

The total purchase price of $15,816,000 was allocated to intangibles of $5.4 million, taking into consideration projected revenue from the acquired list of Ameri Arizona customers over a period of three years, and the balance was allocated to goodwill. Based on the Company’s current estimates of the consideration payable under the purchase agreement, the Company does not believe the Ameri Arizona will achieve its earn-out for 2017 and has reduced the consideration payable estimates by $400,000 in its income statement for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The Company is also currently negotiating with the former members of Ameri Arizona regarding the Company’s earn-out payment obligations.  The Company paid $300,000 in earn-out payments during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 for earn-out amounts earned prior to such date.

Acquisition of Ameri California

On March 10, 2017, we acquired 100% of the shares of ATCG Technology Solutions, Inc. (“Ameri California”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement among the Company, ATCG, all of the stockholders of Ameri California (the “Stockholders”), and the Stockholders’ representative. In July 2017, the name of ATCG Technology Solutions, Inc. was changed to Ameri100 California Inc.  Ameri California provides U.S. domestic, offshore and onsite SAP consulting services and has its main office in Folsom, California. Ameri California specializes in providing SAP Hybris, SAP Success Factors and business intelligence services.

The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition of Ameri California was $8,784,533, consisting of:

(a)
576,923 shares of our common stock, valued at approximately $3.8 million based on the closing price of our Common Stock on the closing date of the acquisition;

(b)
Unsecured promissory notes issued to certain of Ameri California’s selling Stockholders for the aggregate amount of $3,750,000 (which notes bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum and mature on June 30, 2018);
(c)
Earn-out payments in shares of our common stock (up to an aggregate value of $1,200,000 worth of shares) to be paid, if earned, in each of 2018 and 2019 based on certain revenue and EBITDA targets as specified in the purchase agreement. We estimate those targets will be fully achieved; and

(d)
An additional cash payment of $55,687 for cash that was left in Ameri California at closing.

The total purchase price of $8,784,533 was allocated to intangibles of $3.75 million, taking into consideration projected revenue from the acquired list of Ameri California customers over a period of three years, and goodwill. The excess of total purchase price over the intangibles allocation has been allocated to goodwill.

For this acquisition, the net cash outflow in 2017 was $ 55,687.

NOTE 4.
REVENUE RECOGNITION:

The Company recognizes revenue primarily through the provision of consulting services. We generate revenue by providing consulting services under written service contracts with our customers. The service contracts we enter generally fall into two categories: (1) time-and-materials contracts and (2) fixed-price contracts.
We consider amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We establish billing terms at the time at which the project deliverables and milestones are agreed. Our standard payment terms are 60 days from invoice date.

When a customer enters into a time-and-materials or fixed-price (or a periodic retainer-based) contract, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with its evaluation of the deliverables in each contract. If the deliverables represent separate units of accounting, the Company then measures and allocates the consideration from the arrangement to the separate units, based on vendor specific objective evidence of the value for each deliverable.

The revenue under time and materials contracts is recognized as services are rendered and performed at contractually agreed upon rates. Revenue pursuant to fixed-price contracts is recognized under the proportional performance method of accounting. We routinely evaluate whether revenue and profitability should be recognized in the current period. We estimate the proportional performance on our fixed-price contracts on a monthly basis utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project. This method is used because reasonably dependable estimates of costs and revenue earned can be made, based on historical experience and milestones identified in any particular contract. If we do not have a sufficient basis to measure progress toward completion, revenue is recognized upon completion of performance, subject to any warranty provisions or other project management assessments as to the status of work performed.

Estimates of total project costs are continuously monitored during the term of an engagement. There are situations where the number of hours to complete projects may exceed our original estimate, as a result of an increase in project scope, unforeseen events that arise, or the inability of the client or the delivery team to fulfill their responsibilities. Accordingly, recorded revenues and costs are subject to revision throughout the life of a project based on current information and historical trends. Such revisions may result in increases or decreases to revenue and income and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the periods in which they are first identified.
If our initial estimates of the resources required or the scope of work to be performed on a contract are inaccurate, or we do not manage the project properly within the planned time period, a provision for estimated losses on incomplete projects may be made. Any known or probable losses on projects are charged to operations in the period in which such losses are determined. A formal project review process takes place quarterly, although projects are continuously evaluated throughout the period. Management reviews the estimated total direct costs on each contract to determine if the estimated amounts are accurate, and estimates are adjusted as needed in the period identified. No losses were recognized on contracts during the period ended June 30, 2017.

NOTE 5.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:

On April 20, 2015, our Board of Directors and the holder of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock approved the adoption of our 2015 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan allows for the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for award grants. The Plan provides equity-based compensation through the grant of cash-based awards, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and other stock-based awards. We believe that an adequate reserve of shares available for issuance under the Plan is necessary to enable us to attract, motivate and retain key employees and directors and to provide an additional incentive for such individuals through stock ownership and other rights that promote and recognize the financial success and growth of our Company. We granted options to purchase 185,000 shares of our common stock and 98,669 restricted stock units pursuant to the Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Share based compensation expense for the period ended June 30, 2017 was $2,353,982. During the current quarter 174,680 restricted stock units were cancelled and an accelerated cost of $792,764 due to such cancellation has been accounted for as stock based compensation expense.  As of June 30, 2017, out of the 2,000,000 shares available under the Plan, aggregate grants of 1,690,358 shares of our common stock had been granted as options and restricted stock units.

NOTE 6.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

We amortize our intangible assets that have finite lives using the straight-line method. Amortization expense was $1,459,592 during the six months ended June 30, 2017. This amortization expense relates to customer lists and products capitalized on our balance sheet, which expire through 2020.

As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, capitalized intangible assets were as follows:

Corp. and the amount spent on improving those products are also categorized as intangible assets and are being amortized over the useful life of those products.

Share based awards, inclusive of all grants made under the Plan, for which either the stock option exercise price or the fair value of the restricted share award exceeds the average market price over the period, have an anti- dilutive effect on earnings per share, and accordingly, are excluded from the diluted computations for all periods presented.

NOTE 9.
OTHER ITEMS:

The Company paid an in-kind dividend on its Series A Preferred Stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 by issuing 10,097 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the sole holder of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The Company has yet to make the dividend payment on its Series A Preferred Stock which was payable on June 30, 2017.  The Company will pay the sole holder of the Series A Preferred Stock the accrued dividend in-kind pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation contemporaneously with the filing of the Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
NOTE 10.
BANK DEBT:

On July 1, 2016, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), with its wholly-owned subsidiaries Ameri and Partners Inc and Ameri Georgia, as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Linear Logics, Corp. and WinHire Inc serving as guarantors, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Giri Devanur, serving as a validity guarantor, and Sterling National Bank, N.A. (as lender and as agent, “Sterling”). The Company joined Ameri Arizona, Virtuoso and Ameri California as borrowers under the Loan Agreement following their respective acquisition.

Under the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers can borrow up to an aggregate of $10 million, which includes up to $8 million in principal for revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”) for general working capital purposes, up to $2 million in principal pursuant to a term loan (the “Term Loan”) for the purpose of a permitted business acquisition and up to $200,000 for letters of credit. A portion of the proceeds of the Loan Agreement were also used to repay the November 20, 2015 credit facility that was entered into between the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary Ameri Georgia and Federal National Payables, Inc.

The maturity of the loans under the Loan Agreement are as follows:

Revolving Loan Maturity Date: July 1, 2019; provided, however, that the Revolving Loan Maturity Date will extend and renew automatically for successive one-year terms on each anniversary of the initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date (each an “Anniversary Date”) thereafter, unless not less than sixty (60) days prior to any such Anniversary Date, written notice of non-renewal is given by either party to the other, in which case the Revolving Loan Maturity Date will be such next Anniversary Date.

Term Loan Maturity Date: The earliest of (a) the date following acceleration of the Term Loan and/or the Revolving Loans; (b) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date; or (c) July 1, 2019.

Interest under the Loan Agreement is payable monthly in arrears and accrues as follows:

(a)
in the case of Revolving Loans, a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus (ii) 2.00%;

(b)
in the case of the Term Loan, a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus (ii) 3.75%; and

(c)
in the case of other obligations of the Borrowers, a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (A) 3.25% or (B) Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus (ii) 3.75%.

The Loan Agreement also requires the payment of certain fees, including, but not limited to letter of credit fees and an unused Revolving Loans fee.

The Loan Agreement contains financial and other covenant requirements, including, but not limited to, financial covenants that require the Borrowers to not permit capital expenditures above $150,000 in any fiscal year, maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 2.00 to 1.00 and maintain certain debt to EBITDA ratios. The Loan Agreement also requires the Company and Borrowers to obtain Sterling’s consent before making any permitted acquisitions.  The amounts borrowed by the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the guarantors, and the Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Borrowers’ assets.

The principal amount of the Term Loan will be repaid as follows: (i) equal consecutive monthly installments in the amount of $33,333.33 each, paid on the first day of each calendar month and (ii) one final payment of the entire remaining principal balance, together with all accrued unpaid interest on the Term Loan maturity date.

The Company has not been in conformance with the financial covenants contained in its Loan Agreement with Sterling National Bank.  The Company received a waiver from Sterling National Bank for its non-compliance with the Loan Agreement for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 in exchange for the payment of a fee of $5,000 for each quarterly waiver. The Company does not expect to be in compliance with the terms of the Loan Agreement following the conclusion of the terms of the waivers granted by Sterling National Bank. The Company is continuing to work with Sterling National Bank to address its non-compliance.

If we are unable to obtain future waivers from Sterling National Bank, the bank could declare our loans with it to be in default and elect to claim all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If we are unable to repay the outstanding amounts, Sterling National Bank could proceed against the collateral granted to it to secure our indebtedness to it. We pledged substantially all of our assets as collateral under the Loan Agreement.  The Loan Agreement is also supported by a limited guaranty from Giri Devanur, our President and Chief Executive Officer. If Sterling National Bank accelerates the repayment of our loans, there is no assurance that we will have sufficient assets to repay the loans. A default under the Loan Agreement may also result in an event of default under the Company’s outstanding convertible notes.  We are currently looking for additional sources of financing, however there is no guarantee that we will have additional financing available to us.
Interest paid on the Term Loan during the period ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $69,625. Principal repaid on the Term Loan during the period ended June 30, 2017 was $200,000. The short term and long-term outstanding balances on the Term Loan as of June 30, 2017 was $399,996 and $1,323,470, respectively. The outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans as of June 30, 2017 was $3,794,042.

Bigtech, which was acquired as of July 1, 2016, had a term loan of $16,283 and a line of credit for $311,412 as of June 30, 2017. The Bigtech line of credit is with an Indian bank, HDFC Bank Limited, and was entered into on June 3, 2015 for Bigtech’s working capital requirements. The line of credit is for up to $416,667 with an interest rate of 11.85% per annum and maturity in June 2020. The Bigtech term loan accrues interest at the rate of 10.30% per annum and matures in 2020. Both the term loan and the line of credit were already in place when the Company acquired Bigtech. Interest paid during the period ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $20,543 for the term loan and line of credit held by Bigtech.

NOTE 11.
CONVERTIBLE NOTES:

On March 7, 2017, we completed the sale and issuance of 8% Convertible Unsecured Promissory Notes (the “2017 Notes”) for aggregate proceeds to us of $1,250,000 from four accredited investors, including one of the Company’s directors, Dhruwa N. Rai. The 2017 Notes were issued pursuant to Securities Purchase Agreements between the Company and each investor. The 2017 Notes bear interest at 8% per annum until maturity in March 2020, with interest being paid annually on the first, second and third anniversaries of the issuance of the 2017 Notes beginning in March 2018. From and after an event of default and for so long as the event of default is continuing, the 2017 Notes will bear default interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The 2017 Notes can be prepaid by us at any time without penalty.

The 2017 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of (i) in the event that any registration statement for the public offering of common stock filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with an uplisting to a national stock exchange is declared effective by the SEC on or prior to December 31, 2017, such price per share that is equal to 68% of the price per share of common stock offered and sold pursuant to such registration statement, or (ii) if no such registration statement is declared effective by December 31, 2017, such price per share that is equal to the weighted average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding December 31, 2017, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The 2017 Notes rank junior to our secured credit facility with Sterling National Bank. The 2017 Notes also include certain negative covenants including, without the investors’ approval, restrictions on dividends and other restricted payments and reclassification of its stock.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Operating Leases

The Company’s principal facility is located in Princeton, New Jersey. The Company also leases office space in various locations with expiration dates between 2016 and 2020. The lease agreements often include leasehold improvement incentives, escalating lease payments, renewal provisions and other provisions which require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, maintenance costs, or defined rent increases. All of the Company’s leases are accounted for as operating leases. Rent expense is recorded over the lease terms on a straight-line basis. Rent expense was $ 151,797and $57,434 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase during the comparative periods is due to the addition of office space through the acquisition of Ameri Arizona, Virtuoso, Bigtech and Ameri California.

The Company has entered into an operating lease for its primary office facility in Princeton, New Jersey, which expires in July 2019. The future minimum rental payments under these lease agreements are as follows:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT:

The group’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalent, accounts receivable, accounts payable, contingent consideration liability and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, cash and cash equivalents and accrued liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair value, due to their short-term nature.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The current accounting guidance for fair value measurements defines a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures as follows:

•
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
•
Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and
•
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.

A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table sets forth the financial assets, measured at fair value, by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Contingent consideration pertaining to the acquisitions referred to in note 3 above as of June 30, 2017 has been classified under level 3 as the fair valuation of such contingent consideration has been done using one or more of the significant inputs which are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using a discounted cash flow technique with significant inputs that are not observable in the market. The significant inputs not supported by market activity included our probability assessments of expected future cash flows related to the acquisitions during the earn-out period, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and calculated in accordance with the respective terms of the share purchase agreements.

The amount of total gains/(losses) included in our Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss) is attributable to change in fair value of contingent consideration arising from the acquisition of Ameri Arizona were $(400,000) and $0 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively.
Note 14.
NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST:

The subsidiaries of the Company are all direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, except for Bellsoft India Solutions Private Limited (“Bellsoft India”) and Ameritas Technologies India Private Limited, of which the Company held 72% and 76% of the equity of each company, respectively, through March 31, 2017.  On March 31, 2017, Ameri Georgia (parent of Bellsoft India) acquired the remaining 28% of the equity of Bellsoft India held by minority shareholders for approximately $8,200. At the time of the acquisition, the Company reversed the amount payable to non-controlling interest of $3,383 and the same amount was recorded as additional paid-in-capital.
The Company attributes relevant gains and losses to such non-controlling interests for every financial year. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, 2016, and the six months ended June 30, 2017, 2016 the profit attributable to the holders of non-controlling interests amounted to $15,388 and $0 and $11,872 and $0, respectively.
NOTE 15.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company began to streamline its operations following the acquisitions of Ameri Arizona and Ameri California. This streamlining is expected to impact about 20 employees and will result in a restructuring charge of approximately $80,000 in the quarter ending September 30, 2017. The Company anticipates that streamlining of its operations will result in annual savings of approximately $1.5 million, inclusive of payroll, benefits, office consolidations and other ancillary employee related costs.
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements (and notes thereto) included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere herein.

We use the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “AMERI” and “the Company” in this report to refer to AMERI Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Company History

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in February 1994 as Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc., which was a shell company immediately prior to our completion of a “reverse merger” transaction on May 26, 2015, in which we caused Ameri100 Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our newly created, wholly owned subsidiary, to be merged with and into Ameri and Partners Inc (“Ameri and Partners”), a Delaware corporation (the “Merger”).  On May 26, 2015, we completed the Merger, in which we caused Ameri100 Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our newly created, wholly owned subsidiary, to be merged with and into Ameri and Partners (doing business as Ameri100), a Delaware corporation. As a result of the Merger, Ameri and Partners became our wholly owned operating subsidiary. The Merger was consummated under Delaware law, pursuant to an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of May 26, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), and in connection with the Merger we changed our name to AMERI Holdings, Inc. We are headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey.

Overview

We specialize in delivering SAP TM cloud, digital and enterprise services to clients worldwide. Our SAP focus allows us to provide technological solutions to a broad and growing base of clients. We are headquartered in Princeton, NJ, and we have offices across the United States, which are supported by offices in India. Our model inverts the conventional global delivery model wherein offshore information technology (“IT”) service providers are based abroad and maintain a minimal presence in the United States. With a strong SAP focus, our client partnerships anchor around SAP cloud services, artificial intelligence, internet of things and robotic process automation. We pursue an acquisition strategy that seeks to disrupt the established business model of offshore IT service providers.

We partnered with NEC Corporation of America (NEC), in February 2017, to offer SAP HANA Migration services. Through this partnership, the Company will offer solutions to its clients aspiring to make the transition from SAP ECC (on-premise) applications to SAP HANA applications. NEC is a leading technology integrator providing integrated communications, analytics, security, biometrics and technology solutions.

We generate revenue by providing consulting services under written service contracts with our customers. The service contracts we enter into generally fall into two categories: (1) time-and-materials contracts and (2) fixed-price contracts.

When a customer enters into a time-and-materials or fixed-price (or a periodic retainer-based) contract, the revenue is recognized in accordance with the deliverables of each contract. If the deliverables involve separate units of accounting, the consideration from the arrangement is measured and allocated to the separate units, based on vendor specific objective evidence of the value for each deliverable.

The revenue under time and materials contracts is recognized as services are rendered and performed at contractually agreed upon rates. Revenue pursuant to fixed-price contracts is recognized under the proportional performance method of accounting.  We routinely evaluate whether revenue and profitability should be recognized in the current period. We estimate the proportional performance on fixed-price contracts on a monthly basis utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, sales to five major customers accounted for 42% and 65% of our total revenue, respectively. Two of our customers each contributed 10% of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017. For the comparable period of 2016, two customers each contributed 23% and 17% of our revenue, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, sales to five major customers accounted for 37% and 62% of our total revenue, respectively. Two customers each contributed 10% of our revenue each for the six months ended June 30, 2017. For the comparable period of 2016, two of our customers each contributed 21% and 16% of our revenue, respectively.
We continue to explore strategic alternatives to improve the market position and profitability of our product and service offerings in the marketplace, generate additional liquidity for the Company, and enhance our valuation. We expect to pursue our goals during the next twelve months through organic growth and through other strategic alternatives. Some of these alternatives have included, and could continue to include, selective acquisitions. The Company has obtained financing and additional capital from the sale of equity and incurrence of indebtedness in the past, and continues to consider capital raising and financing from the sale of various types of equity and incurrence of indebtedness to provide capital for our business plans and operations in the future. The Company has also provided, and may from time to time in the future provide, information to interested parties.
Matters that May or Are Currently Affecting Our Business

The main challenges and trends that could affect or are affecting our financial results include:

·
Our ability to enter into additional technology-management and consulting agreements, to diversify our client base and to expand the geographic areas we serve;

·
Our ability to attract competent, skilled professionals and on-demand technology partners for our operations at acceptable prices to manage our overhead;

·
Our ability to acquire other technology services companies and integrate them with our existing business;

·
Our ability to raise additional capital, if and when  needed; and

·
Our ability to control our costs of operation as we expand our organization and capabilities.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin was 19% for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 23% for the three months ended June 30, 2016.  Gross margin from our acquired entities was 23%; without our acquisitions our gross margin was at 15%. The decrease in gross margins from our existing business was due to higher volume discounts, end of high margin contracts and revenue mix.

Our gross margin was 23% for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 20% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Gross margin from our acquired entities was 24%; without our acquisitions our gross margin was at 22%.

Our target gross margins are anticipated to be in the range of 25% to 30% based on the mix of project revenues and professional service revenues. However, there is no assurance that we will achieve the anticipated gross margins.
Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses were $434,895 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $135,329 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was directly attributable to our acquisition of Ameri Arizona and Ameri California, which occurred subsequent to the comparable prior period.

Selling and marketing expenses were $767,205 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $166,679 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was directly attributable to our acquisition of Ameri Arizona and Ameri California, which occurred subsequent to the comparable prior period.

General and Administration Expenses

General and Administration (“G&A”) expenses include all costs, including rent costs, which are not directly associated with revenue-generating activities, as well as the non-cash expense for stock based compensation. These include employee costs, corporate costs and facilities costs. Employee costs include administrative salaries and related employee benefits, travel, recruiting and training costs. Corporate costs include reorganization costs, legal, accounting and outside consulting fees. Facility costs primarily include rent and communications costs.

G&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $4,405,377 as compared to $1,977,510 for the three months ended June 30, 2016.  G&A expenses increased by $2,427,867, of which $1,562,526 was attributable to our stock based compensation expense due to grants made to our employees and accelerated expenses upon cancellation of restricted stock units. Ameri California, Ameri Arizona and Bigtech added an additional $1,018,717 to our G&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.  Our G&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 excluding these acquisitions increased due to our continued fund-raising activity and preparation of a Nasdaq listing application.

G&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $7,106,522 as compared to $3,696,100 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.  G&A expenses increased by $3,410,422, of which $2,027,276 was attributable to our stock based compensation expense due to grants made to our employees and accelerated expenses upon cancellation of restricted stock units. Ameri California, Ameri Arizona and Bigtech added an additional $1,736,843 to our G&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease in G&A expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was attributable to the cost synergies we achieved with our previous acquisitions.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $825,657 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $101,385 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. We capitalized the customer lists acquired during various acquisitions, resulting in increased amortization costs. The customer lists from each acquisition are amortized over a period of 60 months.

Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $1,514,757 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $213,013 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. We capitalized the customer lists acquired during various acquisitions, resulting in increased amortization costs. The customer lists from each acquisition are amortized over a period of 60 months.

Operating Income (Loss)

Our operating income (loss) was ($3,508,274) for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to ($936,639) for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This increase in loss was mainly due to the increase in G&A expenses of our acquired entities.

Our operating income (loss) was ($4,138,823) for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to ($1,917,955) for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase in loss was mainly due to the increase in G&A expenses of our acquired entities.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $164,343 as compared to $270,514 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease is mainly due to changes in interest rates charged by our lenders.

Our interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $255,149 as compared to $384,260 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease is mainly due to changes in interest rates charged by our lenders.

Changes in Estimates

Based on our current estimates of consideration payable under the Ameri Arizona purchase agreement, we do not believe Ameri Arizona will achieve its 2017 earn-out and we have adjusted the consideration payable in connection therewith by reducing the estimates by $400,000 and reflecting the adjustment in our income statement for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
Income taxes

Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and the three months period ended June 30, 2016 was $0 for each period.

Our provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the six months period ended June 30, 2016 was $0 for each period.

Acquisition Related Expenses

We had acquisition related expenditures of $384,480 and $615,220 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. These expenses included acquisition costs and legal, banking and other acquisition related fees incurred in connection with our acquisitions. The decrease is due to the decline in acquisition related activities in the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash position was $1,041,133 as of June 30, 2017, as compared to $1,379,887 as of December 31, 2016, a decrease of $338,754 primarily due to use of fund towards working capital and earn-out payments.

Cash used for operating activities was $1,700,989 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and was primarily a result of net changes in working capital requirements. Cash used in investing activities was $702,511 during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Cash provided by financing activities was $2,064,746 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and was attributable to the increased borrowing under our line of credit with Sterling National Bank and the issuance of convertible notes.

Due to our current constraints in working capital, we have been unable to pay a few vendors and as a result some of them have threatened legal action against us. We are currently working with these vendors to negotiate longer payment terms until we are able to raise more capital; the Company is trying to mitigate these efforts by raising more capital and through streamlining its operations which will provide cash savings going forward, however there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional sources of capital. In case we are unable to pay these vendors, they can take legal action against us or stop doing business with us which may have an impact on our revenue.

On July 1, 2016, the Company entered into Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), with its wholly-owned subsidiaries Ameri and Partners Inc and Ameri Georgia, as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Linear Logics, Corp. and WinHire Inc serving as guarantors, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Giri Devanur, serving as a validity guarantor, and Sterling National Bank, N.A. (as lender and as agent, “Sterling”). The Company joined Ameri California, Virtuoso and Ameri Arizona as borrowers under the Loan Agreement following their respective acquisition.

Under the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers can borrow up to an aggregate of $10 million, which includes up to $8 million in principal for revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”) for general working capital purposes, up to $2 million in principal pursuant to a term loan (the “Term Loan”) for the purpose of a permitted business acquisition and up to $200,000 for letters of credit. A portion of the proceeds of the Loan Agreement were also used to repay the November 20, 2015 credit facility that was entered into between the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary Ameri Georgia and Federal National Payables, Inc.

The maturity of the loans under the Loan Agreement are as follows:

Revolving Loan Maturity Date: July 1, 2019; provided, however, that the Revolving Loan Maturity Date will extend and renew automatically for successive one-year terms on each anniversary of the initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date (each an “Anniversary Date”) thereafter, unless not less than sixty (60) days prior to any such Anniversary Date, written notice of non-renewal is given by either party to the other, in which case the Revolving Loan Maturity Date will be such next Anniversary Date.

Term Loan Maturity Date: The earliest of (a) the date following acceleration of the Term Loan and/or the Revolving Loans; (b) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date; or (c) July 1, 2019.

Interest under the Loan Agreement is payable monthly in arrears and accrues as follows:

(a)
in the case of Revolving Loans, a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus (ii) 2.00%;

(b)
in the case of the Term Loan, a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus (ii) 3.75%; and
(c)
in the case of other obligations of the Borrowers, a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (A) 3.25% or (B) Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus (ii) 3.75%.

The Loan Agreement also requires the payment of certain fees, including, but not limited to letter of credit fees and an unused Revolving Loans fee.

The Loan Agreement contains financial and other covenant requirements, including, but not limited to, financial covenants that require the Borrowers to not permit capital expenditures above $150,000 in any fiscal year, maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 2.00 to 1.00 and maintain certain debt to EBITDA ratios. The Loan Agreement also requires the Company and Borrowers to obtain Sterling’s consent before making any permitted acquisitions.  The amounts borrowed by the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the guarantors, and the Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Borrowers’ assets.

The principal amount of the Term Loan will be repaid as follows: (i) equal consecutive monthly installments in the amount of $33,333.33 each, paid on the first day of each calendar month and (ii) one final payment of the entire remaining principal balance, together with all accrued unpaid interest on the Term Loan maturity date.

The Company has not been in conformance with the financial covenants contained in its Loan Agreement with Sterling National Bank.  The Company received a waiver from Sterling National Bank for its non-compliance with the Loan Agreement for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 in exchange for the payment of a fee of $5,000 for each quarterly waiver. The Company does not expect to be in compliance with the terms of the Loan Agreement following the conclusion of the terms of the waivers granted by Sterling National Bank. The Company is continuing to work with Sterling National Bank to address its non-compliance.

If we are unable to obtain future waivers from Sterling National Bank, the bank could declare our loans with it to be in default and elect to claim all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If we are unable to repay the outstanding amounts, Sterling National Bank could proceed against the collateral granted to it to secure our indebtedness to it. We pledged substantially all of our assets as collateral under the Loan Agreement.  The Loan Agreement is also supported by a limited guaranty from Giri Devanur, our President and Chief Executive Officer. If Sterling National Bank accelerates the repayment of our loans, there is no assurance that we will have sufficient assets to repay the loans. A default under the Loan Agreement may also result in an event of default under our convertible notes.  We are currently looking for additional sources of financing, however there is no guarantee that we will have additional financing available to us.

Interest paid on Term Loan during the period ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $69,625 Principal repaid on the Term Loan during the period ended June 30, 2017 was $200,000. The short term and long-term outstanding balances on the Term Loan as of June 30, 2017 was $399,996 and $1,323,470 respectively. The outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans as of June 30, 2017 was $3,794,042.

Bigtech, which was acquired as of July 1, 2016, had a term loan of $16,283 and a line of credit for $311,412 as of June 30, 2017. The Bigtech line of credit is with an Indian bank, HDFC Bank Limited, and was entered into on June 3, 2015 for Bigtech’s working capital requirements. The line of credit is for up to $416,667 with an interest rate of 11.85% per annum and maturity in June 2020. The Bigtech term loan accrues interest at the rate of 10.30% per annum and matures in 2020. Both the term loan and the line of credit were already in place when the Company acquired Bigtech. Interest paid during the period ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $20,543 for the term loan and line of credit held by Bigtech.

On March 7, 2017, we completed the sale and issuance of 8% Convertible Unsecured Promissory Notes (the “2017 Notes”) for aggregate proceeds to us of $1,250,000 from four accredited investors, including one of the Company’s directors, Dhruwa N. Rai. The 2017 Notes were issued pursuant to Securities Purchase Agreements between the Company and each investor. The 2017 Notes bear interest at 8% per annum until maturity in March 2020, with interest being paid annually on the first, second and third anniversaries of the issuance of the 2017 Notes beginning in March 2018. From and after an event of default and for so long as the event of default is continuing, the 2017 Notes will bear default interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The 2017 Notes can be prepaid by us at any time without penalty.

The 2017 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of (i) in the event that any registration statement for the public offering of common stock filed by the Company with the SEC in connection with an uplisting to a national stock exchange is declared effective by the SEC on or prior to December 31, 2017, such price per share that is equal to 68% of the price per share of common stock offered and sold pursuant to such registration statement, or (ii) if no such registration statement is declared effective by December 31, 2017, such price per share that is equal to the weighted average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding December 31, 2017, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The 2017 Notes rank junior to our secured credit facility with Sterling. The 2017 Notes also include certain negative covenants including, without the investors’ approval, restrictions on dividends and other restricted payments and reclassification of its stock.
Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable for the period ended June 30, 2017 were $8,720,203 as compared to $8,059,910 as on December 31, 2016. The increase is due to acquisition of Ameri California.

Accounts Payable

Accounts payable for the period ended June 30, 2017 were $3,945,300 as compared to $5,130,817 as on December 31, 2016. The decrease is primarily due to the payoff of accumulated accounts payable during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses for the period ended June 30, 2017 were $2,813,296 as compared to $2,165,088 as on December 31, 2016. Our acquisition of Ameri California led to an increase of accrued expenses of $762,752.

Operating Activities

Our largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from our customers for different information technology services we render under various statements of work. Our primary uses of cash for operating activities are for personnel-related expenditures, leased facilities and taxes.

Off- Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Impact of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation had a significant impact on our results of operations for the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, we attempt to minimize any effects of inflation on our operating results by controlling operating costs and, whenever possible, seeking to ensure that billing rates reflect increases in costs due to inflation.

For all significant foreign operations, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each period end. Statements of Operations accounts are translated at the exchange rate prevailing as of the date of the transaction. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of equity. Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other income, net for the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Purchase Price Allocation. We allocate the purchase price of our acquisitions to the assets and liabilities acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Some of the items, including accounts receivable, property and equipment, other intangible assets, certain accrued liabilities and other reserves require a degree of management judgment. Certain estimates may change as additional information becomes available. Goodwill is assigned at the enterprise level and is deductible for tax purposes for certain types of acquisitions. Management finalizes the purchase price allocation within the defined measurement period of the acquisition date as certain initial accounting estimates are resolved.

Valuation of Contingent Earn-out Consideration. Acquisitions may include contingent consideration payments based on the achievement of certain future financial performance measures of the acquired company. Contingent consideration is required to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. We estimate the fair value of these liabilities based on financial projections of the acquired companies and estimated probabilities of achievement. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, however, there is significant judgment involved. We evaluate, on a routine, periodic basis, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration and changes in estimated fair value, subsequent to the initial fair value estimate at the time of the acquisition, will be reflected in income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue and/or earnings estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria. Any changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration may have a material impact on our operating results.

Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue in accordance with the Accounting Standard Codification 605 “Revenue Recognition.” Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the seller’s price to buyer is fixed and determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue from information technology services as the services are provided. Service revenues are recognized based on contracted hourly rates, as services are rendered or upon completion of specified contracted services and acceptance by the customer.
Accounts Receivable. We extend credit to clients based upon management’s assessment of their credit-worthiness on an unsecured basis. We provide an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on historical experience and management evaluation of trend analysis. We include any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in allowance for doubtful accounts.

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost. We provide for depreciation of property and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease terms or the useful lives of the improvements. We charge repairs and maintenance costs that do not extend the lives of the assets to expenses as incurred.

Intangible assets. We account for computer software costs developed for internal use in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires companies to capitalize certain qualifying costs during the application development stage of the related software development project and to exclude the initial planning phase that determines performance requirements, most data conversion, general and administrative costs related to payroll and training costs incurred. Whenever a software program is considered operational, we consider the project to be completed, place it into service and commence amortization of the development cost in the succeeding month.

Goodwill. We capitalize the excess of capitalized intangible assets of an acquisition over the purchase consideration as goodwill in for each of our acquisitions. Impairment of goodwill is analyzed on an annual basis as per Company policy.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, being June 30, 2017, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Company’s management, including our Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not yet effective as of the end of the period covered by this report as noted below in management’s report on internal control over financial reporting. This is largely due to the fact that we are acquiring privately held companies as part of our growth strategy and our control procedures over all acquired subsidiaries will not be effective until such time as we are able to fully integrate the acquisition with our company and set processes and procedures for the acquired entities. We are working to improve and harmonize our financial reporting controls and procedures across all of our companies.  There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result of this assessment, our management concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting was not yet effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  This is largely due to the fact that we are acquiring privately held companies as part of our growth strategy and our control procedures over all acquired subsidiaries will not be effective until such time as we are able to fully integrate the acquisition with our company and set processes and procedures for the acquired entities.  We are working to improve and harmonize our financial reporting controls and procedures across all of our companies.
This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of our independent auditors regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent auditors pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit our company to provide only management’s report in this Quarterly Report.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process, which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were changes to correct certain internal control inadequacies, due to the privately held nature of acquired subsidiaries in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the period covered by this report that have not materially affected, or are not reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
