1: GENERAL
Description
of Business
Data443
Risk Mitigation, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Nevada corporation on May 4, 1998. On October 15, 2019, the Company
changed its name from LandStar, Inc. to Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. within the State of Nevada.
The
Company believes that it is a leader in data security and privacy management, providing solutions for All Things Data Security®,
across the enterprise and in the cloud. Trusted by over 10,000 clients, the Company provides the visibility and control needed to protect
data at-scale, regardless of format, location or consumer and facilitate fast changing global data privacy requirements. Our clients
include leading brand name enterprises in a diverse set of industries, including financial services, government, healthcare, manufacturing,
retail, technology, and telecommunications.
The
mounting ransomware and data threat landscape has accelerated data security adoption rates and we believe that our extensive portfolio
of data security and privacy products provide an encompassing solution set to data privacy as the new security standard. Our offering
is anchored in privacy management, equipping organizations with a seamless approach to safeguard their data, protect against attacks
and mitigate the most critical risks.
Data
security and privacy legislation is driving significant investment by organizations to offset risks from data breaches and information
breaches of various types. We provide solutions for the marketplace that are designed to protect data that is stored in the cloud, hybrid,
on-premises and with remote employees. Our suite of security products focuses on protection of sensitive files and emails, confidential
customer, patient and employee data, financial records, strategic and product plans, intellectual property and other data requiring protection,
allowing our clients to create, share and protect their sensitive data wherever it is stored and however it is used.
We
deliver solutions and capabilities for cloud vendors (including Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services
(AWS)), for on premises and for virtualization platforms (including VMWare, Citrx and Oracle). Licensing subscription models conform
to customer purchasing requirements, which are most commonly on an annualized term basis.
We
sell substantially all our products, solutions and services through a sales model that combines the leverage of a channel sales model
or direct account management, thereby providing us with opportunities to grow our current customer base and deliver our value proposition
for data privacy and security. We also make use of channel partners, distributors, and resellers which sell to end-user customers. This
approach allows us to maintain close relationships with our customers and benefit from the global reach of our channel partners. Additionally,
we are enhancing our product offerings and go-to-market strategy by establishing technology alliances within the IT infrastructure and
security vendor ecosystem. Our sales and marketing focus is on targeting organizations with 500 or more users who are adopting cloud
services and can make larger purchases with us over time and have a greater potential lifetime value.
We
continue to onboard to cloud-native technology adoption portals such as the Microsoft Azure Marketplace and the Amazon AWS Marketplace.
Vendors may offer incentives to us as a software and services provider to onboard and market via their marketplace portals.
As
cloud adoption continues to accelerate, data privacy requirements get more complex, and data security becomes more challenging, we believe
that Data443 is well positioned to capture market share, continue to lead in strategic data security technologies and prepare organizations
for the next epoch in IT data privacy services.

The
following are key elements of our growth strategy:
Acquisitions.
We intend to aggressively pursue acquisitions of other cybersecurity software and service providers focused on the data security sector.
We target companies with a steady client base, as well as companies with complementary product offerings.
Research
& Development; Innovation. We intend to increase our spending on research and development in order to drive innovation to improve
existing products and to deliver new products. We intend to work towards proactively identifying and solving the data security needs
of our clients.

for our services and products. We intend to capitalize on this demand by targeting new customers.
Expand
Our Sales Force. We believe that continuing to expand our salesforce will be essential to achieving our customer base expansion goals.
We intend to expand our sales capacity by adding employees throughout our sales and marketing department, with heavy focus on customer

Our
Customers
Our
current customer base is comprised primarily of customers in two verticals – commercial enterprises and open-source consumers.
Our commercial enterprise clients are generally focused within the US and range from 500 employees to over 150,000 employees and use
our data security and protection product lines. Our open-source offerings are more widely distributed geographically, used by organizations
of all sizes and currently have over 200,000 active installations.
On
January 19, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Centurion Holdings I, LLC (“Centurion”) to acquire
the intellectual property rights and certain assets collectively known as Centurion SmartShield Home and SmartShield Enterprise, patented
technology that protects and recovers devices in the event of ransomware attacks. The total purchase price of $3,400,000
consists of: (i) a $250,000
cash payment at closing; (ii) the $2,900,00
promissory note issued by Data443 in favor of
Centurion; and (iii) $250,000
in the form of a contingent payment. As of
the filings date of these financial statements, the acquisition is still not completed.
Basis
of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Data 443 Risk Mitigation, Inc., a North Carolina operating company, and the operations of Myriad Software Productions, LLC through September
2018 when it was liquidated. Prior to the acquisition of Data 443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. in North Carolina and the assets of Myriad Software
Productions, LLC in 2018, these two entities were controlled by our sole director and officer, Jason Remillard. On November 17, 2017,
Mr. Remillard acquired control of LandStar, Inc. through his purchase of all the outstanding Series A preferred shares of the Company,
and as a result, these two entities became common controlled entities that require consolidation of results with the reporting company,
LandStar, Inc., from the time common control occurred. All intercompany accounts and activities have been eliminated. These consolidated
financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Interim
Financial Statements
These
unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2021 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in our Form 10-K the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2022. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
Share-Based
Compensation
Employees
- The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to employees,
including the grant of employee stock options, to be calculated based on its fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant
date), and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.
Nonemployees
- During June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”)
to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees.
The Company elected to adopt ASU 2018-07 early. Under the requirements of ASU 2018-07, the Company accounts for share-based compensation
to non-employees under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to be calculated based on the fair value at the measurement
date (generally the grant date), and recognized in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.
The
Company recorded approximately gain of $87,685 in share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared
to $404,118 in share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Determining the appropriate fair value model
and the related assumptions requires judgment. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the fair value of each option grant was
estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected volatility represents the historical volatility of the Company’s
publicly traded common stock. Due to limited historical data, the Company calculates the expected life based on the mid-point between
the vesting date and the contractual term which is in accordance with the simplified method. The expected term for options granted to
nonemployees is the contractual life. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the
expected life of stock options. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its shares of common stock;
therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero.
Basic
and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic
earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential
common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and as if converted method. Dilutive potential common shares
include outstanding stock options, warrant and convertible notes.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation
of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive:

COVID-19
In
March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the novel coronavirus COVID-19 (“COVID-19”) a global
pandemic. The pandemic adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally in 2020 and, until contained, is still
expected to disrupt general business operations. The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken by many governments around the world in
response could in the future meaningfully impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company is currently
unable to predict the duration of that impact but continues to monitor its accounting estimates of the carrying value of certain assets
and liabilities relating to its leases and will continue to do so as additional information is obtained or new events occur. Actual results
could differ from our estimates and judgments, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.
Recently
Adopted Accounting Guidance
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options” and ASC
subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models
for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models
are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition
of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and, (2) convertible debt instruments issued
with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We recognized a cumulative effect adjustment
to increase the opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2022 by $439,857.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will
have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE
2: LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared (i) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States, and (ii) assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets
and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has only recently started to generate significant income.
The Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a business with a limited history of substantive revenue, as well
as limitations on its operating capital resources. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company
to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification
of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In light of these matters,
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise capital and generate
revenue and profits in the future.
During
2018, the Company made two product acquisitions, ClassiDocs®, and ARALOC®, and completed the acquisition of one entity, Data443
Risk Mitigation, Inc. (“Data443”), the North Carolina operating company. During 2019, the Company completed the acquisition
of selected assets of DataExpress™; and, completed a transaction under which the Company licensed the assets of ArcMail™.
During the period ending September 30, 2020, the Company has completed the acquisition of selected assets of FileFacets™, and selected
assets of Intelly WP™. The Company is actively seeking new products and entities to acquire, with several candidates identified.
The Company has developed, and continues to develop, large scale relationships with cyber security, marketing and product organizations,
and to market and promote ClassiDocs® and other products the Company may develop or acquire. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had
negative net working capital; an accumulated deficit; and, had reduced its operating losses.
We
continue to monitor the effects COVID-19 could have on our operations and liquidity including our ability to collect account receivable
timely from our customers due to the economic impacts COVID-19 could have on the general economy. COVID-19 has also impacted our ability
to travel, meet distribution partners in their offices, present at tradeshows, and perform other enterprise-related sales functions.
While most customers have returned to their pre-pandemic “normal” office working conditions, a number have yet to do so.
These continued operating conditions have impacted our ability to execute and deploy some of our normal sales and marketing activities.
While we are not unique in this position, these factors, among others, raise some doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.

In
connection with the adoption of ASU 2020-06, we reclassified $517,500, previously allocated to the conversion feature, from additional
paid-in capital to convertible notes on our balance sheet as of January 1, 2022. The reclassification was recorded to combine the two
legacy units of account into a single instrument classified as a liability. We also recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of $439,857
to accumulated deficit on our balance sheet as of January 1, 2022, that was primarily driven by the derecognition of interest expense
related to the accretion of the Debt Discount as required under the legacy accounting guidance. Under ASU 2020-06, we will no longer
incur non-cash interest expense related to the accretion of the debt discount associated with the embedded conversion option.
NOTE
9: DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The
Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and hedging, and
determined that the instrument should be classified as a liability since the conversion option becomes effective at issuance resulting
in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options.
ASC
815 requires we assess the fair market value of derivative liability at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in
the fair market value as other income or expense item.
The
Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement during the year based on management’s estimate
of the expected future cash flows required to settle the liabilities, and used the Binomial pricing model to calculate the fair value
as of March 31, 2022. As of the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no derivative liabilities. The Binomial model requires
six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated
volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower
fair value measurement. The fair value of each convertible note and warrant is estimated using the Binomial valuation model.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, the estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring
basis are as follows:
The
Company valued the conversion feature using the Binomial pricing model. The fair value of the derivative liability for all the notes
that became convertible, including the notes issued in prior years, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 amounted to $57,883
recognized as a derivative loss.
For
the three months March 31, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, the estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring
basis are as follows:

NOTE
11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The
Company accounts for contingent liabilities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 450, Contingencies.
This guidance requires management to assess potential contingent liabilities that may exist as of the date of the financial statements
to determine the probability and amount of loss that may have occurred, which inherently involves an exercise of judgment. If the assessment
of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated,
then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential
material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the
contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. For loss contingencies
considered remote, no accrual or disclosures are generally made. Management has assessed potential contingent liabilities as of March
31, 2022, and based on that assessment there are no probable loss contingencies requiring accrual or establishment of a reserve.
DMB
Note Collection Action
On June 17,
2021, DMB Group, LLC (“DMB”) filed a lawsuit against Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc., a North Carolina corporation, the
Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”), in County Court in Denton County, Texas, naming the Subsidiary
as the defendant (the “Complaint”). The matter was settled on September 2021 by mutual agreement of the involved parties.
The Subsidiary has made all payments and the matter is now considered closed.
Employment
Related Claims
The Company
views most legal proceedings involving claims of former employees as routine litigation incidental to the business, and therefore not
material.
Litigation
In
the ordinary course of business, we are involved in a number of lawsuits incidental to our business, including litigation related to
intellectual property, employees, and commercial matters. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these cases, management
believes that any ultimate liability would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
However, an unforeseen unfavorable development in any of these cases could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
condition, results of operations, or cash flows in the period in which it is recorded.
