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:

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:

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:

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:

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.

Risks Related to Our Securities and the Business Combination

The unaudited pro forma financial information included herein may not be indicative of what the Company’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included herein is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the dates indicated.

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:

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:

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:

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.

PIPE Debentures 

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.

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:

Results of Operations

The following tables set forth a summary of Computex’s consolidated results of operations for the periods presented. This information should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. The operating results in any period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.

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.

Net Loss:

As a result of the foregoing, net loss increased from $1.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $4.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2017

Sales:

Total sales increased from $134.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $154.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. Hardware sales increased from $113.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $129.7 million during the year ended 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:

Cost of sales increased from $106.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $124.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. Cost of sales related to our hardware sales was $96.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $108.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, in line with our IT hardware sales which was primarily driven by growth in the 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, 2018. The increase was due primarily to the increase in gross profit attributable to our hardware sales business, which grew from $17.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $21.5 million in during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $27.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $30.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. Selling and marketing expense slightly increased from $13.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $13.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. The slight increase was primarily due to the continued expansion in our marketing activities and the expansion of our sales network. Facilities expense remained constant at $1.8 million 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.

Interest Expenses:

Interest expense remained stable at $1.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018. 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 $0.9 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 21%, resulting from legislation that was enacted on December 22, 2017.

Net 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.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods presented:

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.

Newly adopted accounting pronouncements that are relevant to us are included in Note 3 to Computex’s audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in this prospectus.

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.

Business Overview

We are an IT solutions provider that delivers actionable outcomes for organizations by using IT and technology solutions to drive 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 holding company for its operating subsidiaries, First Byte Computers, Inc., Computex, Inc. and eNETsolutions, L.L.C., each of 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:

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.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we generated revenue of $85.7 million, a decrease of $69.1 million over the $154.8 million of revenues generated for the year ended December 31, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had a net loss of $4.4 million, 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.:

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:

Facilities

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:

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:

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.

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 $24,568,000 assumes a per share market value of our common stock of $3.00 per share. An assumed value of $3.00 per share has been used.
