ITEM
1. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
AND HISTORY
Reliability
Incorporated (“Reliability” or the “Company”), headquartered in Clarksburg, Maryland, through its wholly owned
subsidiary, The Maslow Media Group, Inc. (“Maslow” or “MMG”), provides workforce solutions consisting primarily
of Employer of Record (“EOR”) services, Staffing Solutions, Managed Services, and Video Production Services. The Company
serves clients across diverse industries, including media, financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, energy,
and education, both domestically and internationally.
Reliability
was incorporated in Texas in 1953. From 1971 to 2007, the Company was engaged in the design, manufacture, and support of high-performance
semiconductor testing equipment. That business was discontinued in 2007, and the Company remained a shell company under the Exchange
Act until October 29, 2019.
Maslow
was founded in 1988 and incorporated in Virginia in 1992. Initially focused on production management and media support services in the
Washington, D.C. market, Maslow expanded over time into broader workforce management solutions, including EOR, staffing, and managed
services, and grew its geographic reach nationwide.
On
November 9, 2016, Maslow was acquired by Vivos Holdings, LLC, owned by Naveen Doki and Silvija Valleru.
The
Vivos Matter
In
connection with the October 29, 2019 reverse merger through which Maslow became a wholly owned subsidiary of Reliability, certain
former controlling shareholders of the Company, together with entities owned and controlled by them or under common control
(collectively, the “Vivos Group”) had financial obligations to Maslow and were party to certain undisclosed debt
arrangements.
Read full description ↓
Following
the merger, the Company determined that members of the Vivos Group had borrowed funds from Maslow and had caused Maslow to be a borrower
or guarantor on certain obligations without full disclosure. Disputes arose relating to repayment obligations, guarantees, and related
matters (the “Vivos Matter”).
The
disputes were submitted to binding arbitration in 2022. The arbitrator ruled in favor of the Company and Maslow and issued awards in
2022 and 2023 providing for recovery of principal amounts, contractual interest, attorneys’ fees, and contract damages. The arbitration
awards were subsequently confirmed by the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland and became final judgments in January 2024.
In
February 2026, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with members of the Vivos Group providing for the transfer of 253,292,210
shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company in satisfaction of certain claims. The Company has filed a motion with the
court seeking entry of a consent judgment to effectuate the transfer of these shares through the Company’s transfer agent.
The
Company intends to hold an annual meeting of shareholders following the resolution of ownership matters related to the settlement.
EMPLOYEES
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company employed approximately 589 representing approximately 120 full-time equivalent (“FTE”)
positions on average throughout the year. This includes both corporate personnel and employees placed with clients.
During
2025, the Company reduced corporate staffing levels as part of a cost-management initiative designed to align operating expenses with
current revenue levels while maintaining the infrastructure necessary to support future growth.
As
of December 31, 2025, 428 field talent workers had been active within the preceding six months.
Approximately
15% of field talent workers are represented by a labor union. The Company is not aware of any current efforts to organize additional
employees or field talent workers and has not experienced any material labor disruptions.
SERVICE
OFFERINGS
Employer
of Record (“EOR”)
Maslow’s
Employer of Record (“EOR”) solution offers a unique, outsourced workforce management service. Under this model, Maslow assumes
the costs and compliance obligations associated with employing contingent workers, who are classified as Maslow employees or Contractors.
While the client maintains responsibility for their workplace environment, Maslow manages the employee lifecycle, including but not limited
to worker classification, onboarding, offboarding, payroll processing and disbursement and compliance.
4
This
arrangement provides clients with robust compliance protection, as Maslow’s expert team ensures workers are accurately classified—whether
as employees or independent contractors. Proper classification is critical, as misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor
can expose clients to substantial financial and legal risks.
The
EOR services offered by Maslow consist of the following principal activities:
●
state
employment registration;
●
employee
onboarding/offboarding;
●
payroll
processing;
●
benefits
offerings and administration;
●
workers
compensation claim management;
●
employee
relations;
●
regulatory
compliance;
●
manage
state-/county-/city-mandated employee benefits, such as paid safe and sick leave; and
●

mandated training administration
●

Staffing
Solutions & Managed Services
For
over 30 years, Maslow has been a leader in the staffing industry, building and continuously expanding a global network of multimedia
and video production professionals.
In
recent years, we have broadened our focus beyond media roles to include staffing services for Creative, Marketing and IT positions. This
diversification enables us to meet the evolving needs of our clients across various industries.
Maslow
offers a wide range of temporary staffing solutions, including:
●
On-Demand
or Short-Term Staffing: Assisting with seasonal needs, demand fluctuations, vacations, illnesses, parental leave, and special
projects.
●
Contract
Staffing: Providing longer-term workforce solutions for ongoing projects or initiatives.
●
On-Site
Management Administration: Offering managed services, including the deployment of on-site managers to oversee teams, scheduling,
and logistics.
By
leveraging contingent staffing, our clients can convert fixed personnel costs into variable expenses, effectively managing workforce-related
expenses without the long-term commitment of recruiting, hiring, and retaining employees.
Flexible
Staffing Options
Our
staffing services cover a variety of placements, ranging from one-day assignments to indefinite engagements. We provide flexible solutions,
including:
●
Freelance
/ Ad Hoc
●
Contract
●
Temp-to-Hire
●
Direct
Hire
●
Managed
Services
Our
Managed Services solution includes building or taking over existing teams, with on-site managers ensuring seamless operations and oversight.
As
is common in the staffing industry, most of our temporary staffing engagements are non-exclusive, short-term in nature, and can be terminated
by our clients with little to no notice.
In
2021, we launched a dedicated practice focused on placing full-time employees on a contingency fee basis. This high-margin business line
has had a positive impact on our overall margins and operating income, as detailed in our Results of Operations. Unlike temporary
staffing or EOR services, Direct Hire placements do not incur employee or 1099 vendor costs, with costs limited to an allocated share
of recruiting software subscription costs. This line of business, initially branded as “Permanent Placement,” continues to
strengthen our profitability.
Video
Production Services
Our
Production Services division supports a wide array of video production projects, including branding videos, documentaries, public service
announcements (PSAs), training modules, live events, webcasts, animations, and more. Our freelance teams collaborate with our in-house,
full-time Video Production Managers, who bring extensive experience to each project. These managers work closely with the team to shape
the vision and story, ensuring seamless execution from concept to final delivery.
In
addition to our human resources, Maslow sources state-of-the-art broadcast equipment for use across television, internet, and social
media platforms.

INDUSTRY
OVERVIEW AND TRENDS
Industry
Overview
Maslow
operates within the workforce management and production services industry, a segment of the broader human capital solutions market. The
Company’s core offerings, including employer of record (“EOR”) services, staffing and workforce solutions, managed
services, and video production support — predominantly fall under temporary staffing and outsourced workforce management solutions.
The
workforce management industry, particularly temporary staffing and outsourced workforce solutions, plays an integral role in enabling
businesses to respond to dynamic labor needs. Temporary staffing allows clients to scale labor resources efficiently, convert fixed labor
costs into variable expenditures, and access specialized talent.
Demand
for outsourced workforce management solutions has grown in recent years as businesses increasingly seek cost efficiencies, payroll compliance
support, and operational flexibility.
The
industry includes a range of service providers, from traditional staffing firms to specialized EOR and managed employment solution providers.
These services facilitate compliance with employment regulations, streamline contingent workforce oversight, and reduce administrative
burdens associated with labor management.
According
to Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), as of February 20, 2026, the U.S. staffing ranks as the largest staffing market in the world with
revenue of $184 billion in 2024 .
Industry
Trends
Several
key trends are shaping the workforce management industry:
●Growth
Dynamics and Market Conditions. According to Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) in their U.S.
Staffing Industry Forecast, 2025–2026, the U.S. staffing market is projected to grow
modestly in 2026 following a contraction in 2025. SIA reports that the staffing industry
is expected to have cumulative growth of 10% between 2025 and 2030 , Industry performance
continues to reflect underlying macroeconomic conditions, client demand variability, and
labor market tightness.
7
●Continued
Adoption of Flexible Workforce Models. As organizations seek operational agility, temporary
and contract workforce solutions remain a strategic lever for managing cost structures and
scaling project demand without long-term fixed commitments.
●Integration
of Artificial Intelligence and Automation. Staffing and workforce solutions providers are
increasingly integrating artificial intelligence (“AI”) and automation tools
across recruitment, candidate sourcing, screening, matching, and onboarding workflows. Recent
industry surveys indicate that a majority of talent acquisition functions now utilize AI-enabled
tools, with growing deployment of autonomous agents for candidate engagement and qualification
(SIA / Korn Ferry Talent Acquisition Trends Report, 2025.). These technologies are improving
recruiter productivity, speed to fill, and workforce matching accuracy.
●Increasing
Demand for Outsourced and Managed Services Solutions. Clients are showing rising interest
in comprehensive outsourced workforce solutions, including managed services programs (“MSP”)
and EOR arrangements. In certain professional and skilled labor segments, outsourced models
accounted for a meaningful share of total industry revenue in recent periods (SIA U.S. IT
Staffing and Solutions Benchmarking Survey, 2025). Businesses in highly regulated environments
have favored third-party workforce partners to manage compliance complexity, payroll administration,
and tax reporting obligations.
●Reliance
on Third-Party Digital Platforms for Talent Sourcing. Adoption of digital sourcing and online
advertising channels remains pervasive across staffing firms. Industry data suggests widespread
utilization of online job advertising platforms, with many firms planning to maintain or
increase investments in digital candidate acquisition tools to support volume hiring and
specialized talent pipelines (Staffing Industry Analysts Digital Usage Survey, 2025).
●Regulatory
and Compliance Developments Affecting Technology Use. As the use of AI accelerates, regulatory
frameworks at the federal and state levels are emerging. Several jurisdictions are considering
or implementing laws related to AI transparency, data privacy, and algorithmic decision-making.
Organizations operating in multiple states are increasingly monitoring regulatory developments
to ensure compliance and mitigate potential liabilities.
Competitive
Landscape
The
U.S. temporary staffing industry is large and highly fragmented, comprising thousands of competing firms. In 2026, the industry is projected
to reach $183 billion, a 2% increase from 2025.
The
American Staffing Association (ASA) projects U.S. GDP growth of 2.1% in Q1 2026. Given the strong correlation between staffing industry
performance and GDP trends, this projection is significant. ASA also reported a 2% year-over-year increase in temporary help jobs as
of January 2025.
Economic
and Regulatory Factors
The
staffing and workforce management industry is influenced by macroeconomic conditions and regulatory developments. Demand for temporary
staffing and employer of record (“EOR”) services is closely tied to overall labor market strength, workforce participation
rates, and employer demand for flexibility. The industry is cyclical in nature, generally expanding during periods of economic growth
and contracting during downturns as clients reduce labor utilization and discretionary spending.
Key
economic factors influencing industry dynamics include:
●Interest
rate levels and access to capital
●Inflationary
pressures and wage growth
●Unemployment
and labor force participation rates
●Geopolitical
instability and economic sanctions
●General
economic growth or recessionary conditions
Regulatory
complexity continues to drive demand for EOR and managed workforce solutions, particularly among employers operating across multiple
jurisdictions. Federal, state, and local employment laws frequently change and may increase compliance obligations for employers.
Recent
legislative developments include expanded paid family and medical leave programs in several states, enhanced pay transparency and reporting
requirements, evolving data privacy and artificial intelligence regulations affecting employment decision-making, and changes to wage,
hour, and workplace safety standards.
These
developments increase administrative complexity for employers and may contribute to continued demand for outsourced workforce compliance
solutions.
GROWTH
STRATEGY
Maslow’s
growth strategy is focused on expanding revenue within existing client relationships, broadening its Employer of Record (“EOR”)
and Staffing Solutions footprint, and improving margin mix through higher-value service offerings.
8
1.
Vertical Expansion Within Existing Accounts
The
Company seeks to increase share-of-wallet within existing client relationships by introducing IT, creative, marketing, HR, and finance
staffing solutions to established media and EOR clients. This cross-selling approach leverages existing relationships, reduces customer
acquisition costs, and increases revenue per client.
2.
Expansion of EOR and Staffing Solution Services
The
Company continues to expand its EOR and Staffing model beyond the media sector into industries with meaningful freelance, project-based,
and multi-state workforce requirements. Regulatory developments, including evolving worker classification standards and multi-jurisdictional
employment compliance obligations, have increased demand for outsourced employer-of-record solutions.
The
Company’s target client profile includes:
●Multi-state
employers
●High-growth
companies
●Professional
services firms
●Organizations
operating hybrid workforce models
3.
Margin Optimization Through Direct Hire and Managed Services
The
Company continues to develop its Direct Hire and Managed Services offerings to enhance margin profile and revenue visibility. Direct
Hire placements generate fee-based revenue without associated payroll exposure, while Managed Service engagements typically involve longer
contract durations and greater revenue predictability relative to short-term staffing assignments.
COMPETITIVE
LANDSCAPE AND DIFFERENTIATION
The
staffing and employer-of-record (“EOR”) market is highly fragmented. Competitors range from large publicly traded global
firms to regional providers and technology-enabled platforms offering digital workforce solutions.
The
Company primarily operates within specialized professional segments, including media, production, and project-based workforce environments,
where client relationships, industry experience, regulatory compliance, and service execution are significant competitive factors.
The
Company’s competitive positioning is supported by the following characteristics:
Industry
Experience in Media and Project-Based Environments
The Company has longstanding experience serving corporate media, broadcast production, and event-driven organizations, which often require
specialized workforce coordination and rapid deployment capabilities.
Integrated
Workforce Solutions Model
The Company provides staffing solutions including managed services, EOR, and production-related services within a single operating platform.
This integrated approach allows clients to engage multiple workforce solutions through one provider.
Compliance
and Client Service Infrastructure
In addition to technology-enabled processes, the Company maintains internal compliance oversight and client service resources focused
on employment risk management, payroll administration, and workforce support.
Flexible
Service Structures
The Company offers customizable workforce solutions designed to address varying client needs across industries and project scopes.
The
Company believes this model enables it to compete effectively in relationship-driven and compliance-sensitive market segments.
INDUSTRY
CYCLICALITY AND REVENUE TRENDS
The
staffing industry has historically been cyclical and is often considered a leading indicator of broader economic conditions. During periods
of economic expansion, clients frequently utilize temporary staffing to supplement their existing workforce and may convert temporary
placements to permanent hires as long-term demand becomes more certain. During economic downturns, demand for temporary staffing can
decline rapidly as clients reduce operating costs and workforce levels.
9
In
addition to macroeconomic conditions, the Company’s revenue patterns are influenced by seasonal factors, including recurring annual
client events, political cycles, and sporting seasons that drive demand for short-term staffing and production support. Over the past
seven fiscal years, including 2025, the fourth quarter has been the Company’s highest revenue quarter, contributing an average
of approximately 27.9 % of annual revenue. This concentration has historically been driven by fall event schedules and year-end
project activity.
In
recent periods, the Company has observed reduced revenue in December as certain clients suspend or scale back media operations during
the holiday period. This shift has modestly altered recent intra-quarter revenue patterns, with last four-year average between 2022-2025
in December average $1,706 versus previous three-year average of $3,000 from 2019-2021.
