1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature
of Operations
Reliability,
Inc. is a leading provider of employer of record and temporary media and information technology (“IT”) staffing services
that operates, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, The Maslow Media Group, Inc (“MMG”), (collectively, “Reliability”
or the “Company”), primarily within the United States of America in three industry segments: Employer of Record (“EOR”),
Recruiting and Staffing and Video and Multimedia Production which provides script to screen media talent. EOR, which is a unique
workforce management solution, represented 80.7% of the revenue in 2020 and 77.6% of first quarter 2021 revenue. Our Staffing
segment provides skilled field talent on a nationwide basis for IT and finance and accounting client partner projects. Our Staffing
includes revenue derived from permanent placement. Video Production involves assembling and providing crews for special projects
that can last anywhere from a week to 6 months.
Reliability
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas in 1953, but the then principal business of the Company started in 1971
was closed down in 2007. The Company completed a reverse merger with MMG (the “Merger”) on October 29, 2019.
Vivos
Holdings LLC, the previous sole shareholder of MMG and their transferees who were issued shares of Reliability Common Stock include Naveen
Doki, Silvija Valleru, Shirisha Janumpally (through Judos Trust and Federal Systems), and Kalyan Pathuri (through Igly Trust) together
own approximately 84% of the issued and outstanding shares of Reliability Common Stock. Vivos Holdings, LLC and Vivos Real Estate
Holdings, LLC and Mr. Doki have outstanding notes with MMG that date back to acquisition of MMG in November 2016 (See Note 8) (collectively
“Vivos Debtors”).
Mrs.
Janumpally, Mr. Doki, and Mr. Pathuri also have common ownership combinations in a number of other entities [Vivos Holdings, LLC.
Vivos Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“VREH”), Vivos Holdings, Inc., Vivos Group, Vivos Acquisitions, LLC., and Federal Systems,
LLC], (collectively referred to herein as “Vivos Group”).
On or about February 17, 2020, the Company,
as plaintiff, filed a complaint with the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland against Vivos Debtors. (“Vivos Default Claim”)
See Note 6.
On or about May 6, 2020, the Vivos Debtors
and other Vivos Group members, specifically. Kaylan Pathuri (“Pathuri”), Judos Trust by Shrishsha Janumpally, its trustee
(“Judos”) and Igly Trust by Kaylan Pathuri, its trustee, (“Igly”) responded to the Vivos Default Claim with a
Counterclaim and Third-Party Complaint (the “Vivos Default Counterclaim”).
On
June 5, 2020, Reliability commenced an arbitration seeking to address purported merger violations before the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) in New York, New York (the “Merger Arbitration”), as permitted by the Merger Agreement against
Mr. Doki; Mrs. Valleru; Mrs. Janumpally (individually and in her capacity as trustee of Judos Trust); Mr. Pathuri (individually in his
capacity as trustee of Igly Trust) and Federal Systems (the “Merger Respondents”). Although the Merger
Respondents filed a counterclaim, Merger Respondent’s have not to paid the AAA’s fees, and ultimately
refused to participate in the arbitration. Thereafter, Reliability petitioned the state court in New York to compel arbitration, but
this action was removed to federal court, where it has been pending for several months awaiting court action. The Company is seeking
damages which if granted will likely be the remedy set forth within the Merger agreement which is primarily the relinquishment in whole
or in part shares of Company Common Stock received by the Merger Respondents in connection with the Merger.
On
December 23, 2020, after an evidentiary hearing before the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland, a judge denied a motion by
Vivos Holdings, LLC, VREH, Doki, Kaylan Pathuri (“Pathuri”), Judos Trust by Shrishsha Janumpally, its trustee (“Judos”)
and Igly Trust by Kaylan Pathuri, its trustee, (“Igly”) to compel a shareholder meeting based on the facts presented
at trial. The judge also commented that, based on the evidence presented, management was performing its fiduciary duties to protect the
Company despite adverse circumstances. This same judge has been assigned to preside over a full trial regarding Company’s
lawsuit to enforce the repayment of notes and the Vivos Group counterclaim, over a two-week period starting on October 4, 2021, absent
any COVID-19 disruptions that may affect scheduling.
On
December 1, 2019, the Company acquired the customer contracts and trade receivables and assumed certain liabilities of Intelligent
Quality Solutions, Inc. (“IQS”). IQS operates as a division of MMG.

Basis
of presentation
The
unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly owned divisions,
including its 100% owned subsidiary, MMG. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the U.S (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q. Operating results of
the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of financial results for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In preparing these unaudited consolidated financial
statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions included in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements relate revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, recoverability of notes receivable,
useful lives for depreciation and amortization, loss contingencies, allocation of purchase price in connection with business combinations,
valuation allowances for deferred income taxes, and the assumptions used for web site development cost classifications.
For
further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
For
the quarter ended March 31, 2021, 24.6% of revenue came from AT&T Services, Inc. (inclusive of its DirecTV division) (“AT&T”),
15.4% from Goldman Sachs and 13.6% from Morgan Stanley. AT&T, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley accounted for 32.8%, 7.7%,
and 5.6%, respectively, in revenue for the same time period ended March 31, 2020. No other client exceeded 10% of revenues.
NOTE
2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
Going
Concern
Management
considers on a regular basis, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The factors which have put downward
pressure on the business and our liquidity are;
|
●
|
Operational
loss of approximately $789 for 2020;
|
|
●
|
Operational
loss of $28 in 1Q 2021
|
|
●
|
The
pandemic resulting decline in client demand for our services continuing through the present;
|
|
●
|
Difficulties
in raising cash via public market for organic and inorganic growth, due to lack of unissued authorized shares available for
Company use, despite having public company cost structure;
|
|
●
|
Inability
to realize approximately $4.3M in receivables from Vivos; and
|
|
●
|
Contingent
liabilities, described further in Note 6.
|
All
these conditions noted above, most notably the adverse impact of COVID 19 on sales and a scenario where the presumption is all
debts come due with an inability to raise cash through equity given the unavailability of unissued authorized shares, raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful
in managing the impact of the foregoing or its ability to maintain sufficient liquidity over a period of time that will allow
it to continue as a going concern. The accompanying
RELIABILITY
INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARY

consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification
of assets or the amounts and classifications of liability that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue
as a going concern.
The
Company’s ongoing liquidity position is facing pressures due to the loss of business resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic as well
as increased pressure to make cash payments pursuant to the Settlement Agreements (filed as exhibits 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 the Company’s
Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 30, 2019) prior to the Company’s anticipated liquidation of the shares of Company Common
Stock pledged pursuant to the Agreement for the Contingent Liquidation of the Common Stock of Reliability Incorporated (as successor
in interest to MMG Media Group, Inc.), dated October 28, 2019 (the “Liquidation Agreement”) (filed as exhibit 10.30
to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 30, 2019). The Vivos Group that are the counterparties to the Liquidation
Agreement are not cooperating with the Company to liquidate the shares subject thereto as contemplated thereby. No assurance can be given
that the Company will return to its pre-pandemic revenue levels, how long it will take to enforce the requirements of the Liquidation
Agreement, and the actual amount of PPP Loan forgiven. As a result, the Company face hurdles to maintaining sufficient liquidity to continue
to operate, in which case the Company might be forced to liquidate or seek to reorganize under applicable bankruptcy statutes.

Company is quoted on the OTC Marketplace under the symbol “RLBY”.

3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Adopted
Accounting Pronouncements
In
June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,
to replace the incurred loss methodology with an expected credit loss model that requires consideration of a broader range of
information to estimate credit losses over the lifetime of the asset, including current conditions and reasonable and supportable
forecasts in addition to historical loss information, to determine expected credit losses. Pooling of assets with similar risk
characteristics and the use of a loss model are also required. Also, in April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification
Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial
Instruments, to clarify the inclusion of recoveries of trade receivables previously written off when estimating an allowance
for credit losses. The amendments in this update were required to be applied using the modified retrospective method with an adjustment
to retained earnings and were effective for us beginning with fiscal year 2020, including interim periods. The adoption of the
amendments in this update as of January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our accounts receivable, retained earnings,
as well as our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework— Changes to the
Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, to improve the fair value measurement reporting of financial instruments.
The amendments in this update require, among other things, added disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable
inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this update eliminate, among other things, disclosure
of the reasons for and amounts of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value
on a recurring basis and an entity’s valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this update
were effective for us beginning with fiscal year 2020. Retrospective application is required for all amendments in this update
except the added disclosures, which should be applied prospectively. The adoption of the amendments in this update did not have
a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40):
Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract,
to provide additional guidance on the accounting for costs of implementing cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts.
The amendments in this update require the capitalization of implementation costs during the application development stage of such
hosting arrangements and amortization of the expense over the term of the arrangement, including any option to extend reasonably
certain to be exercised or option to terminate reasonably certain not to be exercised. Capitalized implementation costs and amortization
thereof are also required to be classified in the same line item in the statements of financial position, operations and cash
flows associated with the hosting service fees. The amendments in this update were effective for us beginning with fiscal year
2020. Entities may select retrospective or prospective application to all implementation costs incurred after the adoption date.
We selected prospective application to all implementation costs incurred after the adoption date. The adoption of the amendments
in this update did not have a material impact on our property and equipment, net and results of operations as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2020.
In
March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference
Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, that provides optional relief to applying reference rate reform to contracts, hedging
relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), which will be discontinued by
the end of 2021. Also, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Scope,
to clarify that cash flow hedges are eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions for the application of subsequent
assessment methods to assume perfect effectiveness as previously presented in ASU 2020-04. The amendments in this update are effective
for us immediately and may be applied through December 31, 2022. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,
to remove certain exceptions and improve consistency of application, including, among other things, requiring that an entity reflect
the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes
the enactment date. The amendments in this update will be effective for us beginning with fiscal year 2021, with early adoption
permitted. Most amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must
be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The adoption of the amendments in this update did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In
October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-10 Codification Improvements, to make incremental improvements to U.S. GAAP
and address stakeholder suggestions, including, among other things, clarifying that the requirement to provide comparative information
in the financial statements extends to the corresponding disclosures section. The amendments in this update will be effective
for the Company beginning with fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied
retrospectively and at the beginning of the period that includes the adoption date. The adoption of the amendments in this update
did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In
January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill
Impairment, to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. An
entity no longer will determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value
of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination.
Instead, under the amendments in this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing
the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The FASB also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit
with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform
Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this update will be effective for the Company beginning with fiscal
year 2023, with early

position and results of operations.
The
Company does not believe any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncement, if adopted, would have a material
effect on its present or future consolidated financial statements.
NOTE
4. DEBT
As
of March 31, 2021, the Company had long term debt from Paycheck Protection Program loans, totaling $5,264. The Company on March
4, 2021 sought full loan forgiveness, based on the satisfaction of applicable criteria and guidelines. Although the Company expects full
forgiveness, no assurance can be provided that forgiveness of any portion of the PPP Loans will be obtained. Short term debt only consists
of $253 in federal income tax explained further below.
Convertible
Debt
The
Company had notes payable in the amount of $890 as of December 31, 2019, pursuant to a convertible debt offering that MMG commenced
June 13, 2019. Pursuant to this agreement, MMG issued to each individual a warrant for 0.5 shares of Company Common Stock and
a convertible promissory note of same date in the initial principal amount of $50, in exchange for $50. The notes bore interest at 12%
per year with the balance becoming due within 1 year from the issuance date unless earlier converted into shares of Company Common Stock
upon the issuance by Reliability of Company Common Stock for gross proceeds of at least $5,000. Since no conversion occurred, notes
were paid in full as they became due over a 3-month period between June 2020 and September 2020.
Warrants
can only be redeemable if the proceeds of $5,000 are secured within 5 years of note issuance.
Tax
Liabilities
When
MMG was initially acquired by Vivos Holdings, LLC in December 2016, MMG’s corporate status was changed from an S Corp to
a C Corp due to its new ownership structure. This triggered an accelerated tax event, a $215 estimated annual impact per year for four
years, that MMG is working with the IRS to pay. As of March 31, 2021, the tax liability was $249 compared to $292 as of
December 31, 2020. The $249 tax liability includes tax liabilities for 2018 and 2019 from completed tax returns and loss carryback
provisions for 2020.
Factoring
Facilities
Triumph
Business Capital
On
November 4, 2016, the MMG entered into a factoring and security agreement with Triumph Business Capital (“Triumph”).
Pursuant to the agreement, MMG received advances on its accounts receivable (i.e. invoices) through Triumph to fund growth and
operations. The proceeds of this agreement were used to pay operating costs of the business which include employee salaries, vendor payments
and overhead expenses. On January 5, 2018, the agreement was amended to lower the factoring fee and interest rate for a term of one year.
The agreement was amended again on January 19, 2018, to increase the maximum advance rate to $5,500. In January 2020, a new agreement
was negotiated with Triumph lowering advance rate from 18 basis points to 15 and the interest rate from prime plus 2.5% to prime plus
2%. The amount of an invoice eligible for sale to Triumph went from 90% to 93%. The agreement which previously renewed annually, is now
month to month. MMG continues to be obligated to meet certain financial covenants in respect to invoicing and reserve account
balance.

In
accordance with the agreement, a reserve amount is required for the total unpaid balance of all purchased accounts multiplied by a percentage
equal to the difference between one hundred percent and the advanced rate percentage. As of March 31, 2021, the required amount was 10%.
Any excess of the reserve amount is paid to MMG on a weekly basis, as requested. If a reserve shortfall exists for a period
of ten-days, MMG is required to make payment to the financial institution for the shortage.
Accounts
receivable were sold with full recourse. Proceeds from the sale of receivables were $1,332 for the three months ended March 31,
2021. The total outstanding balance under the recourse contract was $592 on March 31, 2021 and $2,999 as of December 31, 2020.
In
February 2020, MMG took out a $250 loan from Triumph at 10% APR, in order to meet our cash obligations. In early February 2021,
MMG met our obligation by making the final principal and interest payment to Triumph.
The
Factoring Facilities are collateralized by substantially all the assets of MMG. In the event of a default, the Factor may demand
that the Company repurchase the receivable or debit the reserve account. Total finance line fees for the three months ended March 31,
2021 and 2020 totaled $32 and $84, respectively.
NOTE
5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY (“VIE”)
In
December 2019, the Company’s executive management learned that prior to the Merger, in January 2017, one of the Company’s
related parties, on behalf of MMG, executed a guarantee of obligations of Vivos Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“VREH”),
under a mortgage loan for the purchase of the property at 22 Baltimore Rd., Rockville, Maryland. MMG leased this space on market
terms. MMG contends it being a guarantor on the building.
Although
the Company has neither any decision-making authority over VREH, nor financial interest in the operations of VREH, the Company was required
to consolidate its financial statements with those of VREH as it was considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. As a result of the
Company terminating the lease on April 30, 2020, VREH was no longer to be considered a VIE after April 30, 2020.
The
potential financial exposure to loss as a guarantor could equal all the book value of the related party mortgage loan payable, a total
of approximately $1,760 as of December 31, 2020, with $126 due in 2021. VREH is currently a few months behind on payments. To
date, the Company has not been called on for any loan repayment guarantee. The Company believes the building valuation is at or near
the current mortgage amount, with adequate equity in the property.
NOTE
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The
Company is engaged from time to time in legal matters and proceedings arising out of its normal course of business, and currently
also is involved in litigation outside of the normal course of business. The Company establishes a liability related to its legal
proceedings and claims when it has determined that it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and the related amount
can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that an obligation is reasonably possible, the Company will, if material,
disclose the nature of the loss contingency and the estimated range of possible loss, or include a statement that no estimate
of the loss can be made.

September 28, 2018, Credit Cash filed a complaint against MMG, Vivos Holdings LLC, Vivos Acquisitions, LLC, Dr. Doki, Dr.
Valleru (the “Credit Cash Defendants”) and other defendants in the United States Circuit Court of Montgomery County,
Maryland for the District of New Jersey for, among other things, breach of contract of the MMG and HCRN Credit Facilities and
their respective guaranties in relation to the November 15, 2017 agreement (the “Credit Cash Complaint”). On October
30, 2018, Credit Cash filed a motion to intervene in an action pending in New York State, Monroe County, filed by HCRN and LE Finance,
LLC against the Credit Cash Defendants, and other defendants (“NY State Action”). On December 10, 2018, the Credit
Cash Defendants entered into a settlement agreement for the purpose of settling certain claims related to the Credit Cash Complaint
only. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, certain repayment terms were agreed upon between Credit Cash and the Credit Cash Defendants,
but Credit Cash did not relinquish the right to pursue any claims related to the NY State Action, nor to pursue any remedies against
any of the Credit Cash Defendants in relation to the November 15, 2017 agreement. Naveen Doki, Kalyan Pathuri, Shirisha Janumpally,
and Federal Systems, LLC, (“Credit Cash Vivos Group”) executed and delivered to MMG that certain Agreement for
the Contingent Liquidation of the Common Stock of MMG , dated as of October 28, 2019 (the “Liquidation Agreement”),
pursuant to which the Credit Cash Vivos Group pledged to MMG the shares of Company Common Stock they received in the Merger
to provide the capital required to satisfy the Credit Cash Defendants’ obligations under the Settlement Agreements. Members
of the Credit Cash Vivos Group misrepresented upon the execution of the Liquidation Agreement the status of its obligations under
the Settlement Agreement, which were, in fact, then in default. To date the Credit Cash Vivos Group have not cooperated with the
Company to monetize those shares as contemplated by the Liquidation Agreement. The Company will take appropriate action to enforce its
rights under the Liquidation Agreement, which actions will be dictated in part by the outcome of the Merger Arbitration wherein
relinquishment of shares for certain claims may be an applied remedy. On or about March 16, 2020, Credit Cash entered its New Jersey
confession of judgment with the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland.
On
October 9, 2018, MMG was named as a defendant along with six other defendants, all of which are entities related to the Vivos
Group, in an Affidavit of Confession of Judgment (COJ) filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in relation to a case
brought by Hop Capital, wherein the defendants collectively agree to pay a sum of $400 to Hop Capital. The claim brought by Hop
Capital against the defendants in this case is in relation to a Merchant Agreement dated October 4, 2018; an agreement to which MMG
was not a party. As such, MMG contends that being named in the COJ as a defendant was made in error and is currently
seeking to have its name removed from the COJ. As of March 2021, we have not been contacted again on this matter, nor have we
been notified on any developments The Company will defend itself from this case.
On
or about February 17, 2020, the Company, as plaintiff, filed a complaint with the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland against

rights under certain promissory notes and a personal guarantee made by the Vivos Debtors (“Vivos Default Claim”)The
case is proceeding. Although there are no certainties or guarantees, the Company believes that it will be granted a judgment in its favor
as it vigorously pursues this litigation.
On February 28, 2020,
Healthcare Resource Network, LLC (“HCRN”) filed a complaint against MMG in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County,
Maryland alleging that Maslow participated with members of the Vivos Group to financially harm the plaintiff. The plaintiff has

itself from this case.

to vigorously defend itself and its indemnified officers, directors and other parties as permitted by the Company’s organizational
documents. Trial on this matter is scheduled to begin on October 4, 2021.
On
or about June 5, 2020, the Company submitted a Claimant’s Notice of Intention to Arbitrate and Demand for Arbitration (the “Merger

Shirisha Janumpally (individually and in her capacity as trustee of Judos Trust); Kalyan Pathuri (individually in his capacity as trustee
of Igly Trust) and Federal Systems (the “Merger Respondents”). The Merger Arbitration alleges that the Merger
Respondents breached the Merger Agreement in a number of significant respects and may have committed fraud in connection with
the Merger. The Company is seeking damages, which if granted will likely be the remedy set forth within the Merger Agreement which
is in whole or in part shares of Company Common Stock received by the Merger Respondents in connection with the Merger. The Company
has brought a motion to compel the Arbitration which is currently being decided by the Federal Courts in New York. The Company believes
a strong basis for the motion exists, but no assurance can be given that it will be granted. Regardless, the Company intends to pursue
claims under the Merger Agreement in whatever venue is required.

June 12, 2020, Igly Trust, a Vivos entity, asked the Texas court for an injunction requiring the Company to provide a shareholder
list and to hold a shareholder meeting. On October 20, 2020, the Texas court denied the injunction but, incongruously, dismissed
all the Vivos plaintiffs for lack of personal jurisdiction. The Company appealed the dismissal because the court had jurisdiction
over Igly Trust once it made affirmative claims in Texas and because the Court’s order denying the injunction is an important
precedent for establishing that the directors under Texas law retain control of shareholder lists and determining the timing of
shareholder meetings.
On
December 23, 2020, at a hearing in the Maryland Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland, a motion by the Vivos Group to compel a
shareholder meeting was summarily dismissed. This same judge is scheduled to preside over a full trial on the Vivos Default
Claim and Vivos Default Counterclaim in October 2021, absent any disruptions that could affect scheduling. On January 20,
2021, Defendants and Counter/Third-Party Plaintiffs, Vivos Holdings, LLC (“Vivos”), Vivos Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“VREH”),
Dr. Naveen Doki (“Doki”), Kaylan Pathuri (“Pathuri”), Igly Trust (“Igly”), Judos Trust (“Judos”),
by counsel, filed a Notice of Appeal on the dismissal.

Stock
Purchase Agreement
On November 9, 2016, Vivos Holdings LLC,
the former owner of MMG, acquired 100% of MMG through a stock acquisition exchange for a purchase price of $1,750,
of which: (i) $1,400 was paid at settlement with proceeds from MMG and (ii) a promissory note to pay the remaining
$350 (“Vivos/MMG Purchase Agreement”). The promissory note was to be paid in twenty-four equal installments, including
interest at 4.5%, in the amount of approximately $15, commencing six months after closing, with the last payment on March 1,
2019. These payments were paid by the MMG on behalf of the Vivos. Vivos subsequently entered into a promissory note receivable
with the MMG, described below, for the full stock purchase price. No payment has ever been made against this note.
Notes
Receivable
The
Company has notes receivable from Vivos Holdings LLC and VREH, a member of Vivos Group, both related party affiliates due
to their ownership percentage in the Company. In January 2021, MMG began applying the legal rate of interest which per Virginia statute
is 8.0% on two of the three defaulted notes receivable below, which were so eligible.
In
connection with the Vivos/MMG Purchase Agreement, on November 15, 2016, MMG executed a promissory note receivable with
Vivos Holdings LLC in the amount of $1,400. As defined by the Vivos/MMG Purchase Agreement, the loan consists of two periods,
whereby the first period from November 15, 2016 until September 30, 2018, no principal or interest payments were required. Interest would
accrue monthly and a new loan in the amount of $1,773 would be subject to a second loan period. During the second loan period,
interest shall be paid in 20 equal consecutive payments, quarterly. Principal plus any unpaid interest is due September 20, 2023. Interest
during both loan periods accrues at a rate of 2.5%. Additionally, monthly payments of $15 are made on behalf of Vivos Holdings, Inc.
to the seller by MMG. These payments, plus any other payments made by MMG on behalf of Vivos Holdings, Inc,
are added to the principal balance of the promissory note receivable (“Vivos/MMG Purchase Agreement Note Receivable”).
In 2018, all quarterly interest payments to be made in phase 2 were offset by the management fees due to Vivos Holdings.
In
January 2021, MMG began applying the legal rate of interest which per Virginia statute is 8.0% on two of the three defaulted notes receivable,
which were eligible. Only the $750 September 5, 2019 note is not eligible for a default rate of interest but is eligible for recovery
of legal fees. As of March 31, 2021 the total outstanding balance was $2,767 which includes accrued interest receivable No for
Q1 2021 of $55. The actual funds (additional eligible interest and legal fees) sought may be greater than what is represented herein
per GAAP.
On
November 15, 2017, MMG executed an intercompany promissory note receivable with VREH in the amount of $772. As defined by the
agreement, the loan consists of two periods, whereby the first period from November 15, 2017 until March 31, 2018, no principal or interest
payments are required. During the first loan period, interest accrued monthly and a new loan amount of $781 will be subject to a second
loan period. During the second period, interest is payable in 20 equal consecutive installments and the principal balance plus accrued
and unpaid interest is due March 31, 2023. Interest during both periods accrues at a rate of 3.5% annually. In 2018, all quarterly interest
payments to be made in Phase 2 were offset by the management fees due to Vivos, Holdings LLC. In addition, principal payments
totaling $30 were made by the Vivos Group. As of March 31, 2021 the total outstanding balance was $774. which includes
accrued interest receivable for Q1 2021 of $15.
On
June 12, 2019, MMG entered into a Personal Guaranty agreement with Dr. Doki, pursuant to which Dr. Naveen Doki personally guaranteed
to MMG repayment of $3,000 of the balance of the Promissory Note issued to Vivos on November 15, 2017 within the 2019 calendar
year via cash, stock, or other business assets acceptable to the Company. Dr. Doki is a 5% or greater beneficial holder of Company Common
Stock, and therefore is a related party.

As
of February 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit against the majority shareholder, pursuant to the personal guaranty agreement for
defaulting on the outstanding notes receivables.
In
summary, the Vivos Holdings receivable totaled $4,258 on December 31, 2020 which included $2,007 of additional borrowings over
the period between November 2016 and December 31, 2109. As of March 31, 2021, the receivable totaled $4,308.
On
September 5, 2019, MMG entered into a Secured Promissory Note agreement with Vivos, pursuant to which MMG issued a secured
promissory note to Vivos in the principal amount of $750. The note bears interest at 2.5% per year and requires Vivos to make monthly
payments to MMG of $10 beginning December 1, 2019, with balance due and payable on November 1, 2026. Upon an event of default,
which occurs upon failure of Vivos to make any monthly payment due under the terms of the note, MMG has the right to declare the
entire unpaid balance of the note due and payable. The note is secured by 30,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock, which is due and
payable upon a default by Vivos, which occurs upon failure of Vivos to make any monthly payment due under the terms of the note. In addition,
both Naveen Doki and Silvija Valleru personally guaranty the repayment of the note by Vivos. Naveen Doki and Silvija Valleru were
beneficial owners of Vivos and are also 5% or greater beneficial owners of Company Common Stock, which is qualified by
the Merger Arbitration complaint. As of March 31, 2021 the total outstanding balance was $780.which includes interest of $12 for
Q1 2021. In January 2021, MMG began charging the Maryland minimum interest rate by law allowed for defaulted totals as this note is in
default and we are pursuing collection via the Vivos Default Claim.
Debt
Settlement Agreements
On
August 10, 2017, the Vivos Group executed a receivable advance agreement with Argus Capital Funding. MMG received a net advance
of $487 in exchange for $705 of MMG’s accounts receivable. Included in this loan is a fee of $218. The agreement was refinanced
on November 15, 2017, when Vivos, and Vivos Acquisitions, LLC, via Dr. Naveen Doki and Dr. Silvija Valleru entered into an agreement
with CC Business Solutions, a division of Credit Cash NJ, LLC (“Credit Cash”) pursuant to which Credit Cash advanced to the
Company $600 in exchange for $780 of the Company’s accounts receivable, to be repaid fully by approximately May 20, 2019 (the “Maslow
Credit Facility”).
In
addition, pursuant to the same agreement, Credit Cash advanced to Healthcare Resource Network, a company owned by the Vivos Group (“HCRN”)
a credit facility in the principal amount of $1,005 (“HCRN Credit Facility”). Each of MMG, Vivos Holdings, Vivos Acquisitions,
LLC, Mr. Naveen Doki and Mrs. Silvija Valleru guaranteed the HCRN Credit Facility. To secure repayment of their guarantee obligations,
the Company and Vivos Holdings granted to Credit Cash a security interest in all their assets. On September 14, 2018, the Company defaulted
on the Maslow Credit Facility. In addition, on same date, the HCRN Credit Facility went into default. As a result, repayment on both
facilities was accelerated, with the full balance for each becoming immediately due and payable. On December 10, 2018, the Company, Vivos
Holdings, Vivos Acquisitions, LLC, Mr. Doki, and Mrs. Valleru and Credit Cash entered into a settlement agreement in connection the November
15, 2017 agreement to govern the terms of the repayment of the HCRN Credit Facility and Maslow Credit Facility. Pursuant to the settlement
agreement, the Company agreed to pay $10 per week until the entire balance of the Maslow Credit Facility was paid off. Pursuant to a
subsequent agreement dated May 17, 2019 not involving the Company, Vivos Holdings and Vivos Acquisitions, LLC agreed to fully repay the
HCRN Credit Facility via quarterly payments beginning June 30, 2019. The HCRN Credit Facility is still being repaid by Vivos Holdings,
and as of October 29, 2019, has an outstanding balance of approximately $635. The Company has a binding and enforceable agreement with
certain shareholders permitting Maslow to liquidate up to the full amount of Maslow equity held by such shareholders in order to satisfy
the shareholders’ obligations under the Settlement Agreements. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had repaid the outstanding
balance due for the Maslow Credit Facility under the settlement agreement in full.

MMG is facing pressure to make cash payments
pursuant to the Settlement Agreements prior to the Company’s anticipated liquidation of the shares of Company Common Stock pledged
pursuant to the Liquidation Agreement. The Vivos Group that are the counterparties to the Liquidation Agreement are not cooperating with
the Company to liquidate the shares subject thereto as contemplated thereby. No assurance can be given how long it will take to enforce
the requirements of the Liquidation Agreement. The resulting time gap may present a liquidity issue for the Company.

The
term “warrant” herein refers to warrants issued by MMG and assumed by RLBY as a result of the Merger. The terms of
all Warrants are the same other than as to the number of shares covered thereby. The Warrant may be exercised at any time or from time
to time during the period commencing at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on first business day following the completion of the Qualified Financing
(as defined below) and expiring at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the fifth annual anniversary thereof (the “Exercise Period”).
For purposes herein, a “Qualified Financing” means the issuance by the Company, other than certain excluded issuances of
shares of Common Stock, in one transaction or series of related transactions, which transaction(s) result in aggregate gross proceeds
actually received by the Company of at least $5,000. The exercise price per full share of RLBY Common Stock shall be 120% of the average
sale price of the RLBY Common Stock across all transactions constituting a part of the Qualified Financing, with equitable adjustments
being made for any splits, combinations or dividends relating to the RLBY Common Stock, or combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications,
extraordinary distributions and similar events, that occur following one transaction constituting a part of the Qualified Financing and
prior to one or more other transactions constituting a part of the Qualified Financing (the “Exercise Price”).
Convertible
note warrants were not valued and included as liability on balance sheet because of uncertainty around their pricing, value and
low probability at this juncture in receiving the $5,000 trigger.
In
prior filings, when referencing these related party notes, we have defined the issuer as the Company, when we could have been more specific
and referenced MMG or Reliability. For clarification purposes, any of the related party transactions entered into prior to the
Merger on October 29, 2019, should refer to MMG and not Reliability.
