NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations:
Digital Ally, Inc. was originally incorporated in Nevada on December 13, 2000 as Vegas Petra, Inc. and had no operations until 2004. On November 30, 2004, Vegas Petra, Inc. entered into a Plan of Merger with Digital Ally, Inc., at which time the merged entity was renamed Digital Ally, Inc. (such merged entity, the “Predecessor Registrant”).
On August 23, 2022 (the “Effective Time”), the Predecessor Registrant merged with and into its wholly owned subsidiary, DGLY Subsidiary Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Registrant”), pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of August 23, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), between the Predecessor Registrant and the Registrant, with the Registrant as the surviving corporation in the merger (such transaction, the “Merger”). At the Effective Time, Articles of Merger were filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, pursuant to which the Registrant was renamed “Digital Ally, Inc.” and, by operation of law, succeeded to the assets, continued the business and assumed the rights and obligations of the Predecessor Registrant immediately prior to the Merger. Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, shareholder approval was not required in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.
At the Effective Time, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) each outstanding share of Predecessor Registrant’s common stock, par value $ per share (the “Predecessor Common Stock”) automatically converted into one share of common stock, par value $ per share, of the Registrant (“Registrant Common Stock”), (ii) each outstanding option, right or warrant to acquire shares of Predecessor Common Stock converted into an option, right or warrant, as applicable, to acquire an equal number of shares of Registrant Common Stock under the same terms and conditions as the original options, rights or warrants, and (iii) the directors and executive officers of the Predecessor Registrant were appointed as directors and executive officers, as applicable, of the Registrant, each to serve in the same capacity and for the same term as such person served with the Predecessor Registrant immediately before the Merger.
The business of the Registrant, Digital Ally, Inc. (with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Digital Ally International, Inc., Shield Products, LLC, Digital Ally Healthcare, LLC, TicketSmarter, Inc., Worldwide Reinsurance, Ltd., Digital Connect, Inc., BirdVu Jets, Inc., Kustom 440, Inc., and its majority-owned subsidiary Nobility Healthcare, LLC, collectively, “Digital Ally,” “Digital,” and the “Company”), is divided into three reportable operating segments: 1) the Video Solutions Segment, 2) the Revenue Cycle Management Segment and 3) the Ticketing Segment. The Video Solutions Segment is our legacy business that produces digital video imaging, storage products, disinfectant and related safety products for use in law enforcement, security and commercial applications. This segment includes both service and product revenues through our subscription models offering cloud and warranty solutions, and hardware sales for video and health safety solutions. The Revenue Cycle Management Segment provides working capital and back-office services to a variety of healthcare organizations throughout the country, as a monthly service fee. The Ticketing Segment acts as an intermediary between ticket buyers and sellers within our secondary ticketing platform, ticketsmarter.com, and we also acquire tickets from primary sellers to then sell through various platforms. The accounting guidance on Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented in financial statements. Such required segment information is included in Note 19.
Basis of Presentation:
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Liquidity and Going Concern
During the second quarter of 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This update provided U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. Under this standard, the Company is required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern each reporting period, including interim periods. In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management considered the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months after the Company’s financial statements were issued (November 14, 2022). Management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and the Company’s obligations due before November 14, 2023.
The
Company has experienced net losses and cash outflows from operating activities since inception. For the nine months ended September 30,
2022, the Company had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $
The Company has implemented an enhanced quality control program to detect and correct product issues before they result in significant rework expenditures affecting its gross margins and has seen progress in that regard. The Company has also implemented a marketing and advertisement reduction plan for its ticketing segment, which will focus on reducing and alleviating current obligations from its media marketing agreements and place a hold on entering into any new agreements. The Company believes that its quality control, cost-cutting initiatives, and new product introduction will eventually restore positive operating cash flows and profitability, although it can offer no assurances in this regard.
Management has evaluated the significance of the conditions described above in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations and concluded that, without additional funding, the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations within one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.
COVID-19 pandemic/Supply Chain:
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to represent an evolving and fluid situation that presents a wide range of potential impacts of varying durations for different global geographies, including locations where the Company has offices, employees, customers, vendors and other suppliers and business partners.
| 7 |
Like most U.S.-based businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the same began to have impacts on our business in March 2020. Since that time, although the original effect of the COVID-19 pandemic has eased, we have continued to operate in an uncertain economic environment that is characterized by, business slowdowns or shutdowns, labor shortages, supply chain challenges, changes in government spending and requirements, regulatory challenges, inflationary pressures and market volatility.
We continue to experience operational challenges as a result of worldwide events including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, continued uncertainty associated with the pandemic, and volatility in global markets, which are compounded by the complex integrated global supply chain for both vendors and customers. As the COVID-19 pandemic dissipates at varying times and rates in different regions around the world, there could be a prolonged negative impact on these global supply chains. Our ability to continue operations at specific facilities will be impacted by the interdependencies of the various participants of these global supply chains, which are largely beyond our direct control. A prolonged shut down of these global supply chains could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
If our suppliers have increased challenges with their workforce (including as a result of illness, absenteeism, reactions to health and safety or government requirements), facility closures, timely access to necessary components, materials and other supplies at reasonable prices, access to capital, and access to fundamental support services (such as shipping and transportation), they may be unable to provide the agreed-upon goods and services in a timely, compliant and cost-effective manner. We have incurred and may in the future incur additional costs and delays in our business resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of higher prices, schedule delays or the need to identify and develop alternative suppliers. In some instances, we may be unable to identify and develop alternative suppliers, incurring additional liabilities under our current contracts and hampering new ones. Our customers have experienced, and may continue to experience, disruptions in their operations and supply chains as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which can result in delayed, reduced, or canceled orders, or collection risks, and which may adversely affect our results of operations. Similarly, current, and future restrictions or disruptions of transportation, such as reduced availability of air transport, port closures or delays, and increased border controls, delays or closures, can also impact our ability to meet demand and could materially adversely affect us.
The spread of COVID-19 caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences, and social distancing measures). To date, we eased many of these modifications. However, we may, in the future, reinstitute the same or similar changes or take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, vendors, and suppliers. Although we managed to continue most of our operations, the future course of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and we cannot assure that this global pandemic, including its economic impact, will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.
Basis of Consolidation:
The accompanying financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Digital Ally, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Digital Ally International, Inc., Shield Products, LLC, Digital Ally Healthcare, LLC, TicketSmarter, Inc., Worldwide Reinsurance, Ltd., Digital Connect, Inc., BirdVu Jets, Inc., Kustom 440, Inc., and its majority-owned subsidiary Nobility Healthcare, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated during consolidation.
The Company formed Digital Ally International, Inc. during August 2009 to facilitate the export sales of its products. The Company formed Shield Products, LLC in May 2020 to facilitate the sales of its Shield™ line of disinfectant/cleanser products and ThermoVu® line of temperature monitoring equipment. The Company formed Nobility Healthcare, LLC in June 2021 to facilitate the operations of its revenue cycle management solutions and back-office services for healthcare organizations. Lastly, the Company formed TicketSmarter, Inc. upon its acquisition of Goody Tickets, LLC and TicketSmarter, LLC, to facilitate its global ticketing operations. The Company formed Worldwide Reinsurance Ltd., which is a captive insurance company domiciled in Bermuda. It will provide primarily liability insurance coverage to the Company for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in today’s insurance marketplace. The Company formed Digital Connect, Inc. and BirdVu Jets, Inc. for travel and transportation purposes in 2022. The company formed Kustom 440, Inc. in 2022 to create unique entertainment experiences directly for consumers.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and subordinated notes payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all related appropriate guidance. The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle to depict the transfer of control to its customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which it expects to be entitled. In order to achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company has two different revenue streams, product and service, represented through its three segments. The Company reports all revenues on a gross basis, other than service revenues from the Company’s ticketing and revenue cycle management segments. Revenues generated by all segments are reported net of sales taxes.

Video Solutions
The Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with the customer. In situations where sales are to a distributor, the Company had concluded its contracts are with the distributor as the Company holds a contract bearing enforceable rights and obligations only with the distributor. As part of its consideration for the contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customers’ ability to pay (or credit risk). For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which it expects to be entitled. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, it has elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product based on its relative standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the purchase order is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input which depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment. Further in determining whether control has been transferred, the Company considers if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer. Customers do not have a right to return the product other than for warranty reasons for which they would only receive repair services or replacement product. The Company has also elected the practical expedient under ASC 340-40-25-4 to expense commissions for product sales when incurred as the amortization period of the commission asset the Company would have otherwise recognized is less than one year.
Service and other revenue is comprised of revenues from extended warranties, repair services, cloud revenue and software revenue. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the product and acceptance of the service or materials by the end customer for repair services. Revenue for extended warranty, cloud service or other software-based products is over the term of the contract warranty or service period. A time-elapsed method is used to measure progress because the Company transfers control evenly over the contractual period. Accordingly, the fixed consideration related to these revenues is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term, as long as the other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
The Company’s multiple performance obligations may include future in-car or body-worn camera devices to be delivered at defined points within a multi-year contract, and in those arrangements, the Company allocates total arrangement consideration over the life of the multi-year contract to future deliverables using management’s best estimate of selling price.
Revenue Cycle Management
The Company reports revenue cycle management revenues on a net basis, as its primary source of revenue is its end-to-end service fees which are generally determined as a percentage of the invoice amounts collected. These service fees are reported as revenue monthly upon completion of the Company’s performance obligation to provide the agreed upon service.
Ticketing
The Company reports ticketing revenue on a gross or net basis based on management’s assessment of whether the Company is acting as a principal or agent in the transaction. The determination is based upon the evaluation of control over the event ticket, including the right to sell the ticket, prior to its transfer to the ticket buyer.
The Company sells tickets held in inventory, which consists of one performance obligation, being to transfer control of an event ticket to the buyer upon confirmation of the order. The Company acts as the principal in these transactions, as the ticket is owned by the Company at the time of sale, therefore controlling the ticket prior to transferring to the customer. In these transactions, revenue is recorded on a gross basis based on the value of the ticket and is recognized when an order is confirmed. Payment is typically due upon delivery of the ticket.
The Company also acts as an intermediary between buyers and sellers through the online secondary marketplace. Revenues derived from this marketplace primarily consist of service fees from ticketing operations, and consists of one primary performance obligation, which is facilitating the transaction between the buyer and seller, being satisfied at the time the order has been confirmed. As the Company does not control the ticket prior to the transfer, the Company acts as an agent in these transactions. Revenue is recognized on a net basis, net of the amount due to the seller when an order is confirmed. The seller is then obligated to deliver the tickets to the buyer per the seller’s listing, and payment is due at the time of sale.

Use of Estimates:
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management utilizes various other estimates, including but not limited to, determining the estimated lives of long-lived assets, determining the potential impairment of long-lived assets, the fair value of warrants, options, the recognition of revenue, inventory valuation reserve, fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, incremental borrowing rate on leases, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other legal claims and contingencies. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which the changes become evident. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary.

Accounts Receivable:
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a weekly basis. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions.
Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than thirty (30) days beyond terms. No interest is charged on overdue trade receivables.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles:
Goodwill - In connection with acquisitions, the Company applies the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually as of December 31, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.
Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units at the date the goodwill is initially recorded. Once goodwill has been assigned to reporting units, it no longer retains its association with a particular acquisition, and all of the activities within a reporting unit, whether acquired or internally generated, are available to support the value of the goodwill.
Traditionally, goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process. Step one involves comparing the fair value of the reporting units to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is greater than zero and its fair value is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than the fair value, the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill. The Company has adopted ASU 2017-04 which simplifies subsequent goodwill measurement by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. As a result, the Company compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its respective carrying value and recognized an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeded the reporting unit’s fair value.
| 11 |
The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using an income approach. Under the income approach, the Company determined fair value based on estimated discounted future cash flows of each reporting unit. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins, discount rates and future market conditions, among others.
Long-lived and Other Intangible Assets - The Company periodically assesses potential impairments of its long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. An impairment review is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company groups its assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of the other assets and liabilities. The Company has determined that the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available is the operating segment level.
Factors considered by the Company include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected operating results; significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and significant negative industry or economic trends. When the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows and eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. An impairment loss is reflected as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, based on the fair value if available, or discounted cash flows, if fair value is not available. The Company last assessed potential impairments of its long-lived assets as of September 30, 2022 and concluded that there was no impairment.
Intangible assets include sponsorship networks, tradenames, client agreements, deferred patent costs and license agreements. Legal expenses incurred in preparation of patent application have been deferred and will be amortized over the useful life of granted patents. Costs incurred in preparation of applications that are not granted will be charged to expense at that time. The Company has entered into several sublicense agreements under which it has been assigned the exclusive rights to certain licensed materials used in its products. These sublicense agreements generally require upfront payments to obtain the exclusive rights to such material. The Company capitalizes the upfront payments as intangible assets and amortizes such costs over their estimated useful life on a straight-line method.
Segment Reporting
The
accounting guidance on Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented in financial statements. Operating segments are identified
as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision
maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or “CODM”) in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess
performance. The Company’s
Contingent Consideration
In circumstances where an acquisition involves a contingent consideration arrangement that meets the definition of a liability under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company recognizes a liability equal to the fair value of the contingent payments the Company expects to make as of the acquisition date. The Company remeasures this liability each reporting period and records changes in the fair value through the consolidated statement of operations.
From time to time, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) may authorize share repurchases of common stock. Shares repurchased under Board authorizations are held in treasury for general corporate purposes and cancelled when it is determined appropriate by management. The Company accounts for repurchases of common stock under the cost method. Shares repurchased and cancelled during the period were recorded as a reduction to stockholders’ (deficit) equity. See further discussion of the Company’s share repurchase program in Note 15 –Stockholders’ Equity.

Non-Controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements represents the interest in subsidiaries held by our venture partner. The venture partner holds a noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated subsidiary Nobility Healthcare, LLC. Since the Company consolidates the financial statements of all wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries, the noncontrolling owners’ share of each subsidiary’s results of operations are deducted and reported as net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
New Accounting Standards
In 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 to simplify the accounting for convertible debt instruments as the current accounting guidance was determined to be unnecessarily complex and difficult to navigate. The ASU primarily does three things: (1) The ASU eliminates the beneficial conversion feature model and the cash conversion model. The elimination of these models will result in more convertible instruments (convertible debt instruments or convertible preferred stock instruments) being reported as a single liability instrument. The ASU also makes targeted improvements to the related disclosures, (2) The ASU eliminates certain settlement conditions that are required to qualify for derivative scope exception which will allow for less equity contracts to be accounted for as a derivative and (3) The ASU aligns the diluted EPS calculation for convertible instruments by requiring the use of the if-converted method and requiring share settlement be included in the calculation when the contract includes an option of cash or share settlement. ASU No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01 which represents a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and it clarifies certain items related to ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The ASU (1) clarifies that when an entity is either applying the equity method or upon discontinuing the equity method it should consider observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment with the same issuer for valuing basis of the investment and (2) clarifies that when determining the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options an entity should not consider, whether upon settlement or exercise, if the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or fair value option. ASU No. 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this update for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes - simplifying the accounting for income taxes (Topic 740), which is meant to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendment also improves consistent application and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. In April 2019 and May 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” and ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief” which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit Loss (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),” which defers the effective date for public filers that are considered small reporting companies (“SRC”) as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect of adopting ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
| 13 |
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangible-Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), or ASU 2018-15. ASU 2018-15 updates guidance regarding accounting for implementation costs associated with a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The amendments under ASU 2018-15 are effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations,
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes - simplifying the accounting for income taxes (Topic 740), which is meant to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendment also improves consistent application and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after Dec. 15, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
In accordance with ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), the Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a group of assets or liabilities, such as a business.
ASC 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
| ● | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities |
| ● | Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities) |
| ● | Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value) |
| 17 |
The following table represents the Company’s hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic represents a fluid situation that presents a wide range of potential impacts of varying durations for different global geographies, including locations where we have offices, employees, customers, vendors and other suppliers and business partners.
Like most US-based businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the same began to have impacts on our business in March 2020. Since that time, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the global health and economic environment, including millions of confirmed cases, business slowdowns or shutdowns, labor shortages, supply chain challenges, changes in government spending and requirements, regulatory challenges, inflationary pressures and market volatility.
We operate within the complex integrated global supply chain for both vendors and customers. As the COVID-19 pandemic dissipates at varying times and rates in different regions around the world, there could be a prolonged negative impact on these global supply chains. Our ability to continue operations at specific facilities will be impacted by the interdependencies of the various participants of these global supply chains, which are largely beyond our direct control. A prolonged shut down of these global supply chains could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
| 23 |
If our suppliers have increased challenges with their workforce (including as a result of illness, absenteeism, reactions to health and safety or government requirements), facility closures, timely access to necessary components, materials and other supplies at reasonable prices, access to capital, and access to fundamental support services (such as shipping and transportation), they may be unable to provide the agreed-upon goods and services in a timely, compliant and cost-effective manner. We have incurred and may in the future incur additional costs and delays in our business resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of higher prices, schedule delays or the need to identify and develop alternative suppliers. In some instances, we may be unable to identify and develop alternative suppliers, incurring additional liabilities under our current contracts and hampering new ones. Our customers have experienced, and may continue to experience, disruptions in their operations and supply chains as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which can result in delayed, reduced, or canceled orders, or collection risks, and which may adversely affect our results of operations. Similarly, current, and future restrictions or disruptions of transportation, such as reduced availability of air transport, port closures or delays, and increased border controls, delays or closures, can also impact our ability to meet demand and could materially adversely affect us.
The spread of COVID-19 caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences, and social distancing measures). To date, we have eased many of these modifications. However, we may in the future reinstitute the same or similar changes or take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, vendors, and suppliers. Although we managed to continue most of our operations, the future course of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and we cannot assure that this global pandemic, including its economic impact, will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.
Litigation
From time to time, we are notified that we may be a party to a lawsuit or that a claim is being made against us. It is our policy to not disclose the specifics of any claim or threatened lawsuit until the summons and complaint are actually served on us. After carefully assessing the claim, and assuming we determine that we are not at fault or we disagree with the damages or relief demanded, we vigorously defend any lawsuit filed against us. We record a liability when losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. When losses are deemed reasonably possible but not probable, we determine whether it is possible to provide an estimate of the amount of the loss or range of possible losses for the claim, if material for disclosure. In evaluating matters for accrual and disclosure purposes, we take into consideration factors such as our historical experience with matters of a similar nature, the specific facts and circumstances asserted, the likelihood of our prevailing, the availability of insurance, and the severity of any potential loss. We re-evaluate and update accruals as matters progress over time.
On May 31, 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit against Culp McAuley, Inc. (“defendant”) in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. The lawsuit arises from the defendant’s multiple breaches of its obligations to the Company. The Company seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief based on certain conduct by the defendant. On July 18, 2022, the defendant filed its Answer to the Company’s Verified Complaint and included Counterclaims alleging breach of contract and seeking monetary damages. On August 8, 2022, the Company filed its Reply and Affirmative Defenses to the Counterclaims by, among other things, denying the allegations and any and all liability. We have not concluded that a material loss related to the allegations is probable, nor have we accrued a liability related to these claims. Although we believe a loss could be reasonably possible (as defined in ASC 450), we do not have sufficient information to determine the amount or range of reasonably possible loss with respect to the potential damages given that the dispute is yet to enter the discovery process. We will continue to vigorously pursue these claims, and we continue to believe that we have valid grounds for recovery of the disputed deliverables. However, there can be no assurances as to the outcome of the dispute.
While the ultimate resolutions are unknown, based on the information currently available, we do not expect that this lawsuit will individually, or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect to our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. However, the outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance that any expense, liability or damages that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters will be covered by our insurance or will not be in excess of amounts recognized or provided by insurance coverage and will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
Notice of Delisting
On July 7, 2022, the Company, received a written notification (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), because the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was below $ per share for the previous thirty (30) consecutive business days. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Common Stock, which will continue to trade uninterrupted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker “DGLY.”
Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until January 3, 2023 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the bid price of the Common Stock closes at or above $ per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the matter will be closed.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by January 3, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day grace period. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to regain compliance with such requirement during such second compliance period.
If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Common Stock will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company recorded pre-tax compensation expense related to the grant of stock options and restricted stock issued of $ and $for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and $ and $ for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had adopted nine separate stock option and restricted stock plans: (i) the 2005 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2005 Plan”), (ii) the 2006 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2006 Plan”), (iii) the 2007 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”), (iv) the 2008 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2008 Plan”), (v) the 2011 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2011 Plan”), (vi) the 2013 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2013 Plan”), (vii) the 2015 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2015 Plan”), (viii) the 2018 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2018 Plan”) and (ix) the 2020 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2005 Plan, 2006 Plan, 2007 Plan, 2008 Plan, 2011 Plan, 2013 Plan, 2015 Plan, 2018 Plan and 2020 Plan are referred to as the “Plans.”
These Plans permit the grant of stock options or restricted stock to the Company’s employees, non-employee directors and others for up to a total of shares of common stock. The 2005 Plan terminated during 2015 with shares not awarded or underlying options, which shares are now unavailable for issuance. Stock options granted under the 2005 Plan that remain unexercised and outstanding as of September 30, 2022 total . The 2006 Plan terminated during 2016 with shares not awarded or underlying options, which shares are now unavailable for issuance. Stock options granted under the 2006 Plan that remain unexercised and outstanding as of September 30, 2022 total . The 2007 Plan terminated during 2017 with shares not awarded or underlying options, which shares are now unavailable for issuance. There are stock options granted under the 2007 Plan that remain unexercised and outstanding as of September 30, 2022. The 2008 Plan terminated during 2018 with shares not awarded or underlying options, which shares are now unavailable for issuance. There were stock options granted under the 2008 Plan that remain unexercised and outstanding as of September 30, 2022.
The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of our employees with those of its stockholders.
Stock option grants. The Board of Directors has granted stock options under the Plans. These option awards have been granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant with such option awards generally vesting based on the completion of continuous service and having ten-year contractual terms. These option awards typically provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plans). The Company has registered all shares of common stock that are issuable under its Plans with the SEC. A total of shares remained available for awards under the various Plans as of September 30, 2022.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model.

The Plans allow for the cashless exercise of stock options. This provision allows the option holder to surrender/cancel options with an intrinsic value equivalent to the purchase/exercise price of other options exercised. There were no shares surrendered pursuant to cashless exercises during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding was $-- and $--, at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable was $-- and $--, at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
As of September 30, 2022, the unrecognized portion of stock compensation expense on all existing stock options was $--.

Restricted stock grants. The Board of Directors has granted restricted stock awards under the Plans. Restricted stock awards are valued on the date of grant and have no purchase price for the recipient. Restricted stock awards typically vest over one to five years corresponding to anniversaries of the grant date. Under the Plans, unvested shares of restricted stock awards may be forfeited upon the termination of service to or employment with the Company, depending upon the circumstances of termination. Except for restrictions placed on the transferability of restricted stock, holders of unvested restricted stock have full stockholder’s rights, including voting rights and the right to receive cash dividends.

Replacement Originals Warrants. On the date of the exchange, the Company calculated the fair value of the issuance of common shares
pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreements, attributing that value to common stock and additional paid in capital. The remaining value of the warrant derivative liability was attributed
to an income from change in fair market value of warrant derivative liabilities and gain on extinguishment of warrant derivative liabilities
in the consolidated statement of operations. On the date of the Warrant Exchange Agreement, using the Black-Scholes method, the fair value
of the warrant derivative liability was $

Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price is a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the stock price increases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally increases, therefore increasing the liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, stock price volatility is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments. The simulated fair value of these liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company’s expected volatility. Increases in expected volatility would generally result in higher fair value measurement. A % change in pricing inputs and changes in volatilities and correlation factors would not result in a material change in our Level 3 fair value.

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method and that the Company has early adopted the amendments of Regulation S-X dated May 21, 2020 and has concluded that this acquisition was not significant. Accordingly, the presentation of the assets acquired, historical financial statements under Rule 3-05 and related pro forma information under Article 8 of Regulation S-X, respectively, are not required to be presented. Under the acquisition method, the purchase price of the Healthcare Acquisition has been allocated to the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the time of the Healthcare Acquisition. This allocation involves a number of assumptions, estimates, and judgments that could materially affect the timing or amounts recognized in our financial statements. Our assumptions and estimates are based upon information obtained from the management of the Company’s revenue cycle management segment. The acquisition was structured as stock purchase, therefore the excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which will not be amortized for income tax filing purposes. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.
The purchase price of the Healthcare Acquisition was allocated to the tangible assets, and assumed liabilities based on their preliminary estimated fair values at the time of the Healthcare Acquisition. The Company retained the services of an independent valuation firm to determine the fair value of these identifiable intangible assets. The Company will continue to evaluate the fair value of the identified intangible assets. The preliminary and final estimated fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the Healthcare Acquisition were as follows:

For the period from the date of the Healthcare Acquisition to June 30, 2022, the Company adjusted its preliminary fair value estimates and estimated useful lives based upon information obtained through June 30, 2022, which resulted in adjustments to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price. These adjustments primarily related to estimated identifiable intangible asset fair values of client agreements and goodwill.
During the measurement period (which is the period required to obtain all necessary information that existed at the acquisition date, or to conclude that such information is unavailable, not to exceed one year), additional assets or liabilities may be recognized, or there could be changes to the amounts of assets or liabilities previously recognized on a preliminary basis, if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of these assets or liabilities as of that date.

On
February 1, 2022, the Company’s revenue cycle management segment completed an asset acquisition from another private medical billing

In accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations”, the acquisition method of accounting is used, and recognition of the assets acquired is at fair value as of the acquisition dates. All acquisition costs were expensed as incurred. The consideration paid has been allocated to the assets acquired based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The estimate of fair values for the intangible assets acquired were agreed to by both buyer and seller.

NOTE 18. TICKETSMARTER ACQUISITION
On
September 1, 2021, Digital Ally, Inc. formed TicketSmarter, Inc. (“TicketSmarter”), through which the Company completed the
acquisition of Goody Tickets, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (“Goody Tickets”) and TicketSmarter, LLC, a Kansas
limited liability company (“TicketSmarter LLC”) (such acquisitions, collectively, the “TicketSmarter Acquisition”).
TicketSmarter, Inc. comprises the Company’s ticketing business segment. In accordance with the stock purchase agreement, the Company
agreed to an initial payment (the “Initial Payment Amount”) of $
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method and that the Company has early adopted the amendments of Regulation S-X dated May 21, 2020 and has concluded that this acquisition was not significant. Accordingly, the presentation of the assets acquired, historical financial statements under Rule 3-05 and related pro forma information under Article 11 of Regulation S-X, respectively, are not required to be presented. Under the acquisition method, the purchase price of the TicketSmarter Acquisition has been allocated to Goody Tickets’ and TicketSmarter LLC’s acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the time of the TicketSmarter Acquisition. This allocation involves a number of assumptions, estimates, and judgments that could materially affect the timing or amounts recognized in our financial statements. The TicketSmarter Acquisition was structured as a stock purchase; however the parties agreed to coordinate the election to invoke IRS Section 338(h)(10) relative to this transaction for tax purposes. Therefore, the excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which will be amortized over 15 years for income tax filing purposes. Likewise, the other acquired assets were stepped up to fair value and is deductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.
| 34 |
The purchase price of the TicketSmarter Acquisition was allocated to Goody Tickets’ and TicketSmarter LLC’s tangible assets, goodwill, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities based on their preliminary estimated fair values at the time of the TicketSmarter Acquisition. The Company retained the services of an independent valuation firm to determine the fair value of these identifiable intangible assets. The Company will continue to evaluate the fair value of the identified intangible assets. The preliminary and final estimated fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the TicketSmarter Acquisition were as follows:

For the period from the date of the TicketSmarter Acquisition to December 31, 2021, the Company adjusted its preliminary fair value estimates and estimated useful lives based upon information obtained through December 31, 2021, which resulted in adjustments to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price. These adjustments primarily related to estimated identifiable intangible asset fair values (primarily related to the sponsorship agreement network), the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out agreement liability and goodwill. There were no adjustments to the allocation of the purchase price during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

During the measurement period (which is the period required to obtain all necessary information that existed at the acquisition date, or to conclude that such information is unavailable, not to exceed one year), additional assets or liabilities may be recognized, or there could be changes to the amounts of assets or liabilities previously recognized on a preliminary basis, if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of these assets or liabilities as of that date. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration is more fully described in Note 3, “Debt Obligations”.
NOTE 19. SEGMENT DATA
The accounting guidance on Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented in financial statements. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or “CODM”) in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s three operating segments are Video Solutions, Revenue Cycle Management, and Ticketing, each of which has specific personnel responsible for that business and reports to the CODM. Corporate expenses capture the Company’s corporate administrative activities, and are also to be reported in the segment information. The Company’s captive insurance subsidiary provides services to the Company’s other business segments and not to outside customers. Therefore, its operations are eliminated in consolidation and it is not considered a separate business segment for financial reporting purposes.
The Video Solutions Segment encompasses our law, commercial, and shield divisions. This segment includes both service and product revenues through our subscription models offering cloud and warranty solutions, and hardware sales for video and health safety solutions. The Revenue Cycle Management Segment provides working capital and back-office services to a variety of healthcare organizations throughout the country, as a monthly service fee. The Ticketing Segment acts as an intermediary between ticket buyers and sellers within our secondary ticketing platform, ticketsmarter.com, and we also acquire tickets from primary sellers to then sell through various platforms.
The Company’s corporate administration activities are reported in the corporate line item. These activities primarily include expense related to certain corporate officers and support staff, certain accounting staff, expense related to the Company’s Board of Directors, stock option expense for options granted to corporate administration employees, certain consulting expenses, investor relations activities, and a portion of the Company’s legal, auditing and professional fee expenses. Corporate identifiable assets primarily consist of cash, invested cash (if any), refundable income taxes (if any), and deferred income taxes.
Summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable business segments is provided for the indicated periods and as of September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021:

Current Trends and Recent Developments for the Company
Segment Overview
Video Solutions Operating Segment – Within our video solutions operating segment we supply technology-based products utilizing our portable digital video and audio recording capabilities for the law enforcement and security industries and for the commercial fleet and mass transit markets. We have the ability to integrate electronic, radio, computer, mechanical, and multi-media technologies to create positive solutions to our customers’ requests. Our products include: the EVO-HD, DVM-800 and DVM-800 Lite, which are in-car digital video systems for law enforcement and commercial markets; the FirstVu body-worn camera line, consisting of the FirstVu Pro, FirstVu II, and the FirstVu HD; our patented and revolutionary VuLink product which integrates our body-worn cameras with our in-car systems by providing hands-free automatic activation for both law enforcement and commercial markets; the FLT-250, DVM-250, and DVM-250 Plus, which are our commercial line of digital video mirrors that serve as “event recorders” for the commercial fleet and mass transit markets; and FleetVu and VuLink, which are our cloud-based evidence management systems. We further diversified and broadened our product offerings in 2020, by introducing two new lines of branded products: (1) the ThermoVu® which is a line of self-contained temperature monitoring stations that provides alerts and controls facility access when an individual’s temperature exceeds a pre-set threshold and (2) our Shield™ disinfectants and cleansers which are for use against viruses and bacteria.
Our video solutions segment revenue encompasses video recording products and services for our law enforcement and commercial customers and the sale of Shield disinfectant and personal protective products. This segment generates revenues through our subscription models offering cloud and warranty solutions, and hardware sales for video and personal protective safety products and solutions. Revenues for product sales are recognized upon delivery of the product, and revenues from our cloud and warranty subscription plans are deferred over the term of the subscription, typically 3 or 5 years.
Revenue Cycle Management Operating Segment - We have recently entered the revenue cycle management business late in the second quarter of 2021 with the formation of our wholly owned subsidiary, Digital Ally Healthcare, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiary Nobility Healthcare. Nobility Healthcare completed its first acquisition on June 30, 2021, when it acquired a private medical billing company, and a second acquisition on August 31, 2021 upon the completion of its acquisition of another private medical billing company, along with two more acquisitions completed during the three months ended March 31, 2022, in which we assist in providing working capital and back-office services to healthcare organizations throughout the country. Our assistance consists of insurance and benefit verification, medical treatment documentation and coding, and collections. Through our expertise and experience in this field, we aim to maximize our customers’ service revenues collected, leading to substantial improvements in their operating margins and cash flows.
Our revenue cycle management segment consists of our medical billing subsidiaries. Revenues of this segment are recognized after we perform the obligations of our revenue cycle management services. Our revenue cycle management services are services, performed and charged monthly, generally based on a contractual percentage of total customer collections, for which we recognize our net service fees.
| 39 |
Ticketing Operating Segment - We have also recently entered into live entertainment and events ticketing services through the formation of our wholly owned subsidiary, TicketSmarter and its completed acquisitions of Goody Tickets, LLC and TicketSmarter, LLC, on September 1, 2021. TicketSmarter provides ticket sales, partnerships, and mainly, ticket resale services through its online ticketing marketplace for live events, TicketSmarter.com. TicketSmarter offers tickets for over 125,000 live events through its platform, for a wide range of events, including concerts, sporting events, theatres, and performing arts, throughout the country.
Our ticketing operating segment consists of ticketing services provided through TicketSmarter and its online platform, TicketSmarter.com. Revenues of this segment include ticketing service charges generally determined as a percentage of the face value of the underlying ticket and ticket sales from our ticket inventory which are recognized when the underlying tickets are sold. Ticketing direct expenses include the cost of tickets purchased for resale by the Company and held as inventory, credit card fees, ticketing platform expenses, website maintenance fees, along with other administrative costs.

Our business is subject to substantial fluctuations on a quarterly basis as reflected in the significant variations in revenues and operating results in the above table. These variations result from various factors, including but not limited to: (1) the timing of large individual orders; (2) the traction gained by products, such as the recently released FirstVu Pro, FirstVu II, FLT-250, and EVO HD; (3) production, quality and other supply chain issues affecting our cost of goods sold; (4) unusual increases in operating expenses, such as the timing of trade shows and stock-based and bonus compensation; (5) the timing of patent infringement litigation settlements (6) ongoing patent and other litigation and related expenses respecting outstanding lawsuits; (7) the impact of COVID-19 and inflation related factors on the economy and our businesses; and (8) the completion of corporate acquisitions. We reported a net loss of $1,902,475 on revenues of $8,484,153 for the third quarter 2022.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet debt, nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have a material current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in the financial conditions, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses other than the following:
We are a party to operating leases and license agreements that represent commitments for future payments (described in Note 9, “Operating Leases,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements) and we have issued purchase orders in the ordinary course of business that represent commitments to future payments for goods and services.

Revenues
Revenues by Type and by Operating Segment
Our operating segments generate two types of revenues:
Product revenues primarily include video operating segment hardware sales of in-car and body-worn cameras, along with sales of our ThermoVuTM units, disinfectants, and personal protective equipment. Additionally, product revenues also include the sale of tickets by our ticketing operating segment that have been purchased or received through our sponsorships and partnerships and held in inventory by our ticketing segment until their sale.
| 42 |
Service and other revenues consist of cloud and warranty services revenues from our subscription plan and storage offerings of our video solutions segment. Our ticketing operating segments’ secondary ticketing marketplace revenues are included in service revenue. We recognize service revenue from sales generated through its secondary ticketing marketplace as we collect net services fees on secondary ticketing marketplace transactions. Lastly, our revenue cycle management segment revenues are included in the service revenues for services provided to medical providers throughout the country.
Our video operating segment sells our products and services to customers in the following manner:
| ● | Sales to domestic customers are made directly to the end customer (typically a law enforcement agency or a commercial customer) through our sales force, comprised of our employees. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the end customer. | |
| ● | Sales to international customers are made through independent distributors who purchase products from us at a wholesale price and sell to the end user (typically law enforcement agencies or a commercial customer) at a retail price. The distributor retains the margin as its compensation for its role in the transaction. The distributor generally maintains product inventory, customer receivables and all related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the distributor consistent with the terms of the distribution agreement. | |
| ● | Repair parts and services for domestic and international customers are generally handled by our inside customer service employees. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the repair parts and acceptance of the service or materials by the end customer. |
Our revenue cycle management operating segment sells its services to customers in the following manner:
| ● | Our revenue cycle management operating segment generates service revenues through relationships with medium to large healthcare organizations, in which the underlying service revenue is recognized upon execution of services. Service revenues are generally determined as a percentage of the amount of medical billings collected by the customer. |
Our ticketing operating segment sells our products and services to customers in the following manner:
| ● | Our ticketing operating segment generates product revenues from the sale of tickets directly to consumers for a particular event that the ticketing operating segment has previously purchased and held in inventory for ultimate resale to the end consumer. Service sales through TicketSmarter are driven largely in part by the usage of the TicketSmarter.com marketplace by buyers and sellers, in which the Company collects service fees for each transaction completed through this platform. |
We may discount our prices on specific orders based upon the size of the order, the specific customer and the competitive landscape.
The Omicron variant of COVID-19 and nationwide inflationary concerns had an impact on all of our operating segment revenue streams for the three months ended September 30, 2022. In particular, it had a negative impact generally on our video solutions operating segment legacy products and, specifically, our commercial event recorder hardware (DVM-250 Plus) and in-car hardware for law enforcement (DVM-800) during the quarter. Ticketing operating segment revenues also continue to be negatively impacted due to the continued public caution surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts of inflation on consumer’s discretionary spending.
Product revenues by operating segment is as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Product Revenues: | ||||||||
| Video Solutions | $ | 1,348,565 | $ | 1,356,454 | ||||
| Revenue Cycle Management | — | — | ||||||
| Ticketing | 1,713,808 | — | ||||||
| Total Product Revenues | $ | 3,062,373 | $ | 1,356,454 | ||||
| 43 |
Product revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $3,062,373 and $1,356,454 respectively, an increase of $1,705,919 (126%), due to the following factors:
| ● | Revenues generated by the new ticketing operating segment began with the Company’s September 2021 acquisition of TicketSmarter. The new ticketing operating segment generated $1,713,808 in product revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $-0- for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This product revenue relates to the resale of tickets purchased for live events, including sporting events, concerts, and theatre, then sold through various platforms to customers. |
| ● | The Company’s video segment operating segment generated revenues totaling $1,348,565 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1,356,454 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 due to slowing sales of our ThermoVuTM product lines related to our COVID-19 response. The Company launched two product lines in direct response to the increased safety precautions that organizations and individuals are taking due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ThermoVu™ was launched as a non-contact temperature-screening instrument that measures temperature through the wrist and controls entry to facilities when temperature measurements exceed pre-determined parameters. ThermoVu™ has optional features such as facial recognition to improve facility security by restricting access based on temperature and/or facial recognition reasons. ThermoVu™ provides an instant pass/fail audible tone with its temperature display and controls access to facilities based on such results. ThermoVuTM has been applied in schools, dental offices, hospitals, office buildings, and other public venues. The Company also launched its Shield™ disinfectant/sanitizer product lines to fulfill demand by current customers and others for a disinfectant and sanitizer that is less harsh than many of the traditional products now widely distributed. The Shield™ Cleanser product line contains a cleanser with no harsh chemicals or fumes. The Company is beginning to experience decreased demand for these product lines as the COVID-19 pandemic begins to subside. | |
| ● | In general, our video solutions operating segment has experienced decreased demand on its product revenues due to price-cutting and competitive actions by our competitors, adverse marketplace effects related to our patent litigation proceedings and our recent financial condition. We introduced our new body-worn cameras, the FirstVu Pro and FirstVu II, in the fourth quarter of 2021, and we continue to see increased traction with these products through the first three quarters of 2022. The Company hopes the interest throughout the marketplace continues to grow for these new products as the market is able to review and test these new products. | |
| ● | Our video solutions operating segment management has been focusing on migrating customers, and in particular commercial customers, from a hardware sale to a service fee model. Therefore, we expect a reduction in commercial hardware sales (principally DVM-250’s, FLT-250’s, and our body-worn camera line) as we convert these customers to a service model under which we provide the hardware as part of a recurring monthly service fee. In that respect, we introduced a monthly subscription agreement plan for our body worn cameras and related equipment during the second quarter of 2020 that allowed law enforcement agencies to pay a monthly service fee to obtain body worn cameras without incurring a significant upfront capital outlay. This program has continued to gain traction, resulting in decreased product revenues and increased service revenues. We expect this program to continue to gain momentum, resulting in recurring revenues over a span of three to five years. |
Service and other revenues by operating segment is as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Service and Other Revenues: | ||||||||
| Video Solutions | $ | 744,362 | $ | 672,206 | ||||

| Ticketing | 2,662,306 | 2,050,679 | ||||||
| Total Service and Other Revenues | $ | 5,421,780 | $ | 3,283,368 | ||||
| 44 |
Service and other revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $5,421,780 and $3,283,368, respectively, an increase of $2,138,412 (65%), due to the following factors:
| ● | Cloud revenues generated by the video solutions operating segment were $412,819 and $264,594 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $148,225 (56%). We have experienced increased interest in our cloud solutions for law enforcement primarily due to the deployment of our cloud-based EVO-HD in-car system and our next generation body-worn camera products, which contributed to our increased cloud revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2022. We expect this trend to continue throughout 2022 as the migration from local storage to cloud storage continues in our customer base. |
| ● | Video solutions operating segment revenues from extended warranty services were $201,118 and $298,840 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $97,722 (33%). However, the continued effects from the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely affected our sales of DVM-800 hardware systems resulting in a decrease in their sales in the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. | |
| ● | Our new ticketing operating segment generated service revenues totaling $2,662,306 and $2,050,679 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $611,627 (30%). The Company completed the acquisitions of Goody Tickets, LLC and TicketSmarter, LLC on September 1, 2021, thus resulting in the new revenue stream for the Company. TicketSmarter collects fees on transactions administered through the TicketSmarter.com platform for the buying and selling of tickets for live events throughout the country. We expect our ticketing operating segment to continue to present a strong revenue outlook moving forward. | |
| ● | Our new revenue cycle management operating segment generated service revenues totaling $2,015,112 and $560,483 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $1,454,629 (260%). Our revenue cycle management operating segment has completed four acquisitions since formation in June of 2021, thus resulting in the new service revenue stream added in the three months ended September 30, 2022. Our revenue cycle management operating segment provides revenue cycle management solutions and back-office services to healthcare organizations throughout the country. We expect our revenue cycle management segment to continue to present a strong revenue outlook moving forward. |
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $8,484,153 and $4,639,822, respectively, an increase of $3,844,331 (83%), due to the reasons noted above.
Cost of Product Revenue
Overall cost of product revenue sold for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 was $3,262,457 and $1,197,217, respectively, an increase of $2,065,240 (173%). Overall cost of goods sold for products as a percentage of product revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 were 93% and 70%, respectively. Cost of products sold by operating segment is as follows:
| Three
Months Ended September 30, |
||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Cost of Product Revenues: | ||||||||
| Video Solutions | $ | 1,261,295 | $ | 1,197,217 | ||||
| Revenue Cycle Management | — | — | ||||||
| Ticketing | 2,001,162 | — | ||||||
| Total Cost of Product Revenues | $ | 3,262,457 | $ | 1,197,217 | ||||
| 45 |
The increase in cost of goods sold for our video solutions segment products is directly correlated with the increase in product costs for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, the video solutions segment recorded valuation allowances for its older product lines and a portion of its Shield products during the third quarter of 2022, directly increasing cost of goods sold for the period. Cost of product sold as a percentage of product revenues for the video solutions segment increased to 107% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to 88% for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
The increase in ticketing operating segment cost of product sold is due to the acquisition of TicketSmarter in the third quarter of 2021, resulting in an increase to cost of product revenue of $2,001,162 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $-0- for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Cost of product sold as a percentage of product revenues for the ticketing solutions was 117% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Ticketing Segment recorded an allowance for unsold and under-market tickets during the first quarter of 2022 due to event cancellations and restrictions imposed on the size and type of gatherings related to the Omicron variant.
We recorded $3,771,424 and $3,915,089 in reserves for obsolete and excess inventories at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Total raw materials and component parts were $4,960,740 and $3,062,046 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, an increase of $1,898,694 (62%). Finished goods balances were $9,769,951 and $10,512,577 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, a decrease of $742,626 (7%) which was attributable to a decrease in finished goods from our newly acquired ticketing segment. The small decrease in the inventory reserve is primarily due to the reduction in finished goods and movement of excess inventory. We believe the reserves are appropriate given our inventory levels as of September 30, 2022.
Cost of Service Revenue
Overall cost of service revenue sold for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 was $4,626,196 and $2,042,035, respectively, an increase of $2,584,160 (126.5%). Overall cost of goods sold for services as a percentage of service revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 were 85% and 62%, respectively. Cost of service revenues by operating segment is as follows:
| Three
Months Ended September 30, |
||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Cost of Service Revenues: | ||||||||
| Video Solutions | $ | 316,017 | $ | 240,996 | ||||
| Revenue Cycle Management | 1,148,835 | 362,802 | ||||||
| Ticketing | 3,161,344 | 1,438,237 | ||||||
| Total Cost of Service Revenues | $ | 4,626,196 | $ | 2,042,035 | ||||
The increase in cost of service revenues for our video solutions segment is commensurate with the increase in service revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues for the video solutions segment increased to 42% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to 36% for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
The increase in revenue cycle management operating segment cost of service revenue is due to the four acquisitions of medical billing companies completed since June 2021. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues for the revenue cycle management operating segment was 57% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
| 46 |
The increase in ticketing operating segment cost of service revenues is due to the 2021 acquisition of TicketSmarter, resulting in an increase to cost of service revenue of $3,161,344 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $1,438,237 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues for the ticketing segment was 119% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Gross Profit
Overall gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $595,500 and $1,400,570, respectively, a decrease of $805,070 (57.5%). Gross profit by operating segment was as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30, |
||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Gross Profit: | ||||||||
| Video Solutions | $ | 515,615 | $ | 590,447 | ||||
| Revenue Cycle Management | 866,277 | 197,681 | ||||||
| Ticketing | (786,392 | ) | 612,442 | |||||
| Total Gross Profit | $ | 595,500 | $ | 1,400,570 | ||||
The overall decrease is attributable to the large overall increase in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022, offset by an increase in the overall cost of sales as a percentage of overall revenues to 93% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from 70% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Our goal is to improve our margins over the longer term based on the expected margins generated by our new recent revenue cycle management and ticketing operating segments together with our video solutions operating segment and its expected margins from our EVO-HD, DVM-800, VuLink, FirstVu Pro, FirstVu II, FirstVu HD, ThermoVuTM, ShieldTM disinfectants and our cloud evidence storage and management offering, provided that they gain traction in the marketplace and subject to a normalizing economy in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and current inflationary concerns. In addition, if revenues from the video solutions segment increase, we will seek to further improve our margins from this segment through expansion and increased efficiency utilizing fixed manufacturing overhead components. We plan to continue our initiative to more efficient management of our supply chain through outsourcing production, quantity purchases and more effective purchasing practices.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7,162,523 and $4,999,543 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $2,162,980 (43.3%). The increase was primarily attributable to the recent acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2021. Our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 84% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 108% in the same period in 2021. The significant components of selling, general and administrative expenses are as follows:
Three months ended September 30, | ||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Research and development expense | $ | 616,174 | $ | 492,221 | ||||
| Selling, advertising and promotional expense | 1,832,916 | 1,511,682 | ||||||
| General and administrative expense | 4,713,433 | 2,995,640 | ||||||
| Total | $ | 7,162,523 | $ | 4,999,543 | ||||
Research and development expense. We continue to focus on bringing new products to market, including updates and improvements to current products. Our research and development expenses totaled $616,174 and $492,221 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $123,953 (25.2%). Most of our engineers are dedicated to research and development activities for new products, primarily the new generation of body-worn cameras, EVO-HD and non-mirror based DVM-250 that can be located in multiple places in a vehicle. We expect our research and development activities will continue to trend higher in future quarters as we continue to expand our product offerings based on our new body-worn camera and EVO-HD product platform and as we outsource more development projects. We consider our research and development capabilities and new product focus to be a competitive advantage and intend to continue to invest in this area on a prudent basis and consistent with our financial resources.

Selling, advertising and promotional expenses. Selling, advertising and promotional expense totaled $1,832,916 and $1,511,682 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $321,234 (21.3%). Promotional and advertising expenses represent the primary component of these costs and totaled $1,368,996 during the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $1,106,284 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $262,712 (23.7%). The increase is primarily attributable to the 2022 sponsorship of NASCAR and IndyCar. Additionally, TicketSmarter remains active in sponsorship and advertising.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expenses totaled $4,713,433 and $2,995,640 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $1,717,793 (57.3%). The increase in general and administrative expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 is primarily attributable to an increase in administrative salaries, as payroll continues to increase with the new acquisition completed by the Company’s healthcare venture during the first half of 2022. General and administrative expense also increased due to a substantial increase in depreciation and amortization, rent expenses, and legal and professional expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, as a result of the numerous acquisitions completed by the Company that were not relevant to the same period in 2021.
Operating Loss
For the reasons stated above, our operating loss was $6,567,023 and $3,598,973 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $2,968,050 (82.5%). Operating loss as a percentage of revenues improved to 77% in the three months ended September 30, 2022 from 78% in the same period in 2021.
Interest Income
Interest income increased to $13,333 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $90,036 in the same period of 2021, which reflects our change cash and cash equivalent levels in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021. The Company held significant cash and cash equivalents throughout the third quarter of 2021, allowing a full three months of interest income due to the two completed registered direct offerings in the first quarter of 2021 which yielded net proceeds of approximately $66.4 million.
Interest Expense
We incurred interest expense of $14,255 and $5,675 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase is attributable to the contingent earn-out notes associated with the four Nobility Healthcare acquisitions, currently at a total balance of $1,091,821 for the four notes, with interest rates of 3.00% per annum.
Change in Fair Value of Short-Term Investments
We recognized a loss on change in fair value of short-term investments totaling $-0- and $21,656 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Such short-term investments are included in cash and cash equivalents as they contain original maturities of ninety (90) days or less.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration Promissory Notes
The Company recognized a loss on the change in fair value of contingent consideration promissory notes of $138,877 and $-0- during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This is in connection with the four acquisitions made by our revenue cycle management segment.
| 48 |
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued detachable warrants to purchase a total of 42,500,000 shares of Common Stock in association with the two registered direct offerings previously described. The underlying warrant agreement terms provide for net cash settlement outside the control of the Company in the event of tender offers under certain circumstances. As such, the Company is required to treat these warrants as derivative liabilities which are valued at their estimated fair value at their issuance date and at each reporting date with any subsequent changes reported in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities. The change in fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities from June 30, 2022, to September 30, 2022, totaled $1,164,849 which was recognized as a gain in the third quarter of 2022. The Company determined the fair value of such warrants as of June 30, 2022, and as of August 23, 2022, to be $9,285,143 and $0, respectively.
Gain on Extinguishment of Warrant Derivative Liabilities
The Company recognized a gain on the change in fair value of contingent consideration promissory notes of $3,624,794 and $-0- during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This is in connection with the Warrant Exchange Agreement executed by the Company on August 23, 2022.
Loss before Income Tax Benefit
As a result of the above results of operations, we reported a loss before income tax benefit of $1,919,071 and income of $8,048,936 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $9,968,007 (123.8%).
Income Tax Benefit
We did not record an income tax expense related to our income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to our overall net operating loss carryforwards available. We have further determined to continue providing a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022. We had approximately $81.4 million of net operating loss carryforwards and $1.8 million of research and development tax credit carryforwards as of September 30, 2022 available to offset future net taxable income.
Net Loss
As a result of the above results of operations, we reported a net loss of $1,919,071 and net income of $8,048,936 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $9,968,007 (123.8%).
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests of Consolidated Subsidiary
The Company owns a 51% equity interest in its consolidated subsidiary, Nobility Healthcare. As a result, the noncontrolling shareholders or minority interest is allocated 49% of the income of Nobility Healthcare which is reflected in the statement of income as “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiary”. We reported net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiary of $16,596 and $19,863 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
As a result of the above, we reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1,902,475 and net income of $8,068,799 for the three months September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $9,971,275 (123.6%).
| 49 |
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
The basic and diluted loss per share was $0.04 and income per share was $0.16 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Basic loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, all shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants were antidilutive, and, therefore, not included in the computation of diluted loss per share.
For the Nine months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Results of Operations
Summarized immediately below and discussed in more detail in the subsequent subsections is an analysis of our operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, represented as a percentage of total revenues for each such quarter:

| Total Product Revenues | $ | 7,682,614 | $ | 4,988,364 | ||||
Product revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $7,682,614 and $4,988,364 respectively, an increase of $2,694,250 (54%), due to the following factors:
| ● | Revenues generated by the new ticketing operating segment began with the Company’s September 2021 acquisition of TicketSmarter. The new ticketing operating segment generated $3,593,577 in product revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $-0- for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This product revenue relates to the resale of tickets purchased for live events, including sporting events, concerts, and theatre, then sold through various platforms to customers. |
| ● | The Company’s video segment operating segment generated revenues totaling $4,089,037 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $4,988,364 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to slowing sales of our ThermoVuTM product lines related to our COVID-19 response. The Company launched two product lines in direct response to the increased safety precautions that organizations and individuals are taking due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ThermoVu™ was launched as a non-contact temperature-screening instrument that measures temperature through the wrist and controls entry to facilities when temperature measurements exceed pre-determined parameters. ThermoVu™ has optional features such as facial recognition to improve facility security by restricting access based on temperature and/or facial recognition reasons. ThermoVu™ provides an instant pass/fail audible tone with its temperature display and controls access to facilities based on such results. ThermoVuTM has been applied in schools, dental office, hospitals, office buildings, and other public venues. The Company also launched its Shield™ disinfectant/sanitizer product lines to fulfill demand by current customers and others for a disinfectant and sanitizer that is less harsh than many of the traditional products now widely distributed. The Shield™ Cleanser product line contains a cleanser with no harsh chemicals or fumes. The Company is beginning to experience decreased demand on these product lines as the COVID-19 pandemic begins to subside. | |
| ● | In general, our video solutions operating segment has experienced decreased demand on its product revenues due to price-cutting and competitive actions by our competitors, adverse marketplace effects related to our patent litigation proceedings and our recent financial condition. We introduced our new body-worn cameras, the FirstVu Pro and FirstVu II, in the fourth quarter of 2021, and we have begun to see increased traction with these products in the first nine months of 2022. The Company hopes the interest throughout the marketplace continues to grow for these new products as the market is able to review and test these new products. |
| ● | Our video solutions operating segment management has been focusing on migrating customers, and in particular commercial customers, from a hardware sale to a service fee model. Therefore, we expect a reduction in commercial hardware sales (principally DVM-250’s, FLT-250’s, and our body-worn camera line) as we convert these customers to a service model under which we provide the hardware as part of a recurring monthly service fee. In that respect, we introduced a monthly subscription agreement plan for our body worn cameras and related equipment during the second quarter of 2020 that allowed law enforcement agencies to pay a monthly service fee to obtain body worn cameras without incurring a significant upfront capital outlay. This program has continued to gain traction, resulting in decreased product revenues and increased service revenues. We expect this program to continue to gain momentum, resulting in recurring revenues over a span of three to five years. |

| ● | Cloud revenues generated by the video solutions operating segment were $1,012,129 and $753,332 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $258,797 (34%). We have experienced increased interest in our cloud solutions for law enforcement primarily due to the deployment of our cloud-based EVO-HD in-car system and our next generation body-worn camera products, which contributed to our increased cloud revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We expect this trend to continue throughout 2022 as the migration from local storage to cloud storage continues in our customer base. | |
| ● | Video solutions operating segment revenues from extended warranty services were $601,460 and $786,147 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $184,687 (23%). The continued effects from the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely affected our sales of DVM-800 hardware systems resulting in a decrease in their sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. | |

The Company completed the acquisitions of Goody Tickets, LLC and TicketSmarter, LLC on September 1, 2021, thus resulting in the new revenue stream for the Company. TicketSmarter collects fees on transactions administered through the TicketSmarter.com platform for the buying and selling of tickets for live events throughout the country. We expect our ticketing operating segment to continue to present a strong revenue outlook moving forward. | |
| ● | Our new revenue cycle management operating segment generated service revenues totaling $6,039,807 and $560,484 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $5,479,324 (978%). Our revenue cycle management operating segment has completed four acquisitions since formation in June of 2021, thus resulting in the new service revenue stream added in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our revenue cycle management operating segment provides revenue cycle management solutions and back-office services to healthcare organizations throughout the country. We expect our revenue cycle management segment to continue to present a strong revenue outlook moving forward. |
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $28,130,392 and $9,669,323, respectively, an increase of $18,461,069 (191%), due to the reasons noted above.

| Ticketing | 4,386,571 | — | ||||||
| Total Cost of Product Revenues | $ | 8,154,984 | $ | 3,776,185 | ||||
The decrease in cost of goods sold for our video solutions segment products is directly correlated with the decrease in product sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, the video solutions segment recorded valuation allowances for its older product lines and a portion of its Shield products during the first nine months of 2022, directly increasing cost of goods sold for the period. Cost of product sold as a percentage of product revenues for the video solutions segment increased to 92% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to 76% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
The increase in ticketing operating segment cost of product sold is due to the acquisition of TicketSmarter in the third quarter of 2021, resulting in an increase to cost of product revenue of $4,386,571 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $-0- for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Cost of product sold as a percentage of product revenues for the ticketing solutions was 122% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Ticketing Segment recorded an allowance for unsold and under-market tickets during the first quarter 2022 due to event cancellations and restrictions imposed on the size and type of gatherings related to the Omicron variant.
We recorded $3,771,424 and $3,915,089 in reserves for obsolete and excess inventories at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Total raw materials and component parts were $4,960,740 and $3,062,046 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, an increase of $1,898,694 (62%). Finished goods balances were $9,769,951 and $10,512,577 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, a decrease of $742,626 (7%) which was attributable to a decrease in finished goods from our newly acquired ticketing segment. The small decrease in the inventory reserve is primarily due to the reduction in finished goods and movement of excess inventory. We believe the reserves are appropriate given our inventory levels as of September 30, 2022.
Cost of Service Revenue
Overall cost of service revenue sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 was $15,721,210 and $2,419,884, respectively, an increase of $13,301,326 (550%).

| Ticketing | 190,432 | 612,442 | ||||||
| Total Gross Profit | $ | 4,254,198 | $ | 3,473,254 | ||||
The overall increase is attributable to the large overall increase in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and an increase in the overall cost of sales as a percentage of overall revenues to 85% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from 64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our goal is to improve our margins over the longer term based on the expected margins generated by our new recent revenue cycle management and ticketing operating segments together with our video solutions operating segment and its expected margins from our EVO-HD, DVM-800, VuLink, FirstVu Pro, FirstVu II, FirstVu HD, ThermoVuTM, ShieldTM disinfectants and our cloud evidence storage and management offering, provided that they gain traction in the marketplace and subject to a normalizing economy in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and current inflationary concerns. In addition, if revenues from the video solutions segment increase, we will seek to further improve our margins from this segment through expansion and increased efficiency utilizing fixed manufacturing overhead components. We plan to continue our initiative to more efficient management of our supply chain through outsourcing production, quantity purchases and more effective purchasing practices.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $24,285,808 and $12,554,807 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $11,731,001 (93%). The increase was primarily attributable to the recent acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2021.

Research and development expense. We continue to focus on bringing new products to market, including updates and improvements to current products. Our research and development expenses totaled $1,654,395 and $1,402,185 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $252,210 (18%). Most of our engineers are dedicated to research and development activities for new products, primarily the new generation of body-worn cameras, EVO-HD and non-mirror based DVM-250 that can be located in multiple places in a vehicle. We expect our research and development activities will continue to trend higher in future quarters as we continue to expand our product offerings based on our new body-worn camera and EVO-HD product platform and as we outsource more development projects. We consider our research and development capabilities and new product focus to be a competitive advantage and intend to continue to invest in this area on a prudent basis and consistent with our financial resources.
Selling, advertising and promotional expenses. Selling, advertising and promotional expense totaled $7,375,364 and $2,978,620 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $4,396,744 (148%). Promotional and advertising expenses represent the primary component of these costs and totaled $6,119,294 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $1,677,455 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $4,441,839 (265%). The increase is primarily attributable to the 2022 sponsorship of NASCAR and IndyCar. Additionally, TicketSmarter remains in sponsorship and advertising. TicketSmarter accounted for $3,335,723 of the total promotional and advertising expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expenses totaled $15,256,049 and $8,174,002 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $7,082,047 (87%). The increase in general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 is primarily attributable to an increase in administrative salaries, as payroll continues to increase with the new acquisition completed by the Company’s healthcare venture during the first half of 2022. General and administrative expense also increased due to a substantial increase in depreciation and amortization, rent expenses, and legal and professional expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, as a result of the numerous acquisitions completed by the Company that were not relevant to the same period in 2021.
Operating Loss
For the reasons stated above, our operating loss was $20,031,610 and $9,081,553 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $10,950,057 (121%). Operating loss as a percentage of revenues improved to 71% in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from 94% in the same period in 2021.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased to $116,928 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from $222,497 in the same period of 2021, which reflects our change in cash and cash equivalent levels in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021. The Company held significant cash and cash equivalents throughout the third quarter of 2021, allowing a full nine months of interest income due to the two completed registered direct offerings in the first quarter of 2021 which yielded net proceeds of approximately $66.4 million.
Interest Expense
We incurred interest expense of $39,766 and $8,466 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase is attributable to the contingent earn-out notes associated with the four Nobility Healthcare acquisitions, currently at a total balance of $1,091,821 for the four notes, with interest rates of 3.00% per annum.
Change in Fair Value of Short-Term Investments
We recognized a loss on change in fair value of short-term investments totaling $84,818 and $28,210 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration Promissory Notes
The Company recognized a gain on the change in fair value of contingent consideration promissory notes of $347,169 and $-0- during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This is in connection with the four acquisitions made by our revenue cycle management segment.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued detachable warrants to purchase a total of 42,500,000 shares of Common Stock in association with the two registered direct offerings previously described. The underlying warrant agreement terms provide for net cash settlement outside the control of the Company in the event of tender offers under certain circumstances. As such, the Company is required to treat these warrants as derivative liabilities which are valued at their estimated fair value at their issuance date and at each reporting date with any subsequent changes reported in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities. The change in fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities from December 31, 2021, to September 30, 2022, totaled $6,726,638 which was recognized as a gain in the third quarter of 2022. The Company determined the fair value of such warrants as of December 31, 2021, and as of August 23, 2022, to be $14,846,932 and $0, respectively.
Gain on Extinguishment of Warrant Derivative Liabilities
The Company recognized a gain on the change in fair value of contingent consideration promissory notes of $3,624,794 and $-0- during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This is in connection with the Warrant Exchange Agreement executed by the Company on August 23, 2022.
Income/(Loss) before Income Tax Benefit
As a result of the above results of operations, we reported an income/(loss) before income tax benefit of ($9,299,498) and $24,388,307 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $33,687,805 (138.1%).
Income Tax Benefit
We did not record an income tax expense related to our income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to our overall net operating loss carryforwards available. We have further determined to continue providing a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022. We had approximately $81.4 million of net operating loss carryforwards and $1.8 million of research and development tax credit carryforwards as of September 30, 2022 available to offset future net taxable income.
Net Income/(Loss)
As a result of the above results of operations, we reported a net income/(loss) of $(9,299,498) and $24,388,307 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $33,687,805 (138.1%).
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests of Consolidated Subsidiary
The Company owns a 51% equity interest in its consolidated subsidiary, Nobility Healthcare. As a result, the noncontrolling shareholders or minority interest is allocated 49% of the income of Nobility Healthcare which is reflected in the statement of income as “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiary”. We reported net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiary of $268,636 and net loss of $19,863 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
| 56 |
Net Income/(Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders
As a result of the above, we reported a net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders of ($9,568,134) and $24,408,170 for the years nine months September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $33,976,304 (139.2%).
Basic and Diluted Income/(Loss) per Share
The basic and diluted loss per share was ($0.19) and $0.49 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Basic loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, all shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants were antidilutive, and, therefore, not included in the computation of diluted loss per share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overall:
Management’s Liquidity Plan. We have experienced net losses and cash outflows from operating activities since inception. Based upon our current operating forecast, we anticipate that we will need to restore positive operating cash flows and/or raise additional capital in the short-term to fund operations, meet our customary payment obligations and otherwise execute our business plan over the next 12 months. We are continuously in discussions to raise additional capital, which may include a variety of equity and debt instruments; however, there can be no assurance that our capital raising initiatives will be successful. Our recurring losses and level of cash used in operations, along with uncertainties concerning our ability to raise additional capital, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Cash, cash equivalents: As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents with an aggregate balance of $6,295,391, a decrease from a balance of $32,007,792 at December 31, 2021. Summarized immediately below and discussed in more detail in the subsequent subsections are the main elements of the $25,712,401 net decrease in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2022:
| ● | Operating activities: | $17,797,992 of net cash used in operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $17,797,992 and $12,230,781 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $5,567,211. The decrease is attributable to the net loss incurred for the first nine months of 2022, the non-cash gain attributable to the change in value of the warrant derivative liability, and the usage of cash to increase accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and other operating assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. | |
| ● | Investing activities: | $3,488,972 of net cash used in investing activities. Cash used in investing activities was $3,488,972 and $17,958,520 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we made capital expenditures for: (i) building improvements of the newly purchased office and warehouse building, and transportation assets; (ii) patent applications on our proprietary technology utilized in our new products and included in intangible assets; and (iii) the closing of a business and asset acquisition. |
| 57 |
| ● | Financing activities: | $4,425,437 of net cash used in financing activities. Cash used in financing activities was $4,425,437 and cash provided by financing activities was $66,570,600 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the first nine months of 2022, the Company repurchased its common stock on the open market pursuant to the stock repurchase plan, and made principal payments on contingent consideration promissory notes. During 2021, we raised substantial funds through the completion of two registered direct offerings of our common stock. |
Commitments:
We had $6,295,391 of cash and cash equivalents and net positive working capital $20,745,139 as of September 30, 2022. Accounts receivable and other receivables balances represented $8,192,899 of our net working capital at September 30, 2022. We believe we will be able to collect our outstanding receivables on a timely basis and reduce the overall level during the balance of 2022, which could provide positive cash flow to support our operations during 2022. Inventory represents $10,963,916 of our net working capital at September 30, 2022, and finished goods represented $9,769,951 of total inventory at September 30, 2022. We are actively managing the level of inventory and our goal is to reduce such level during the balance of 2022 by our sales activities, the increase of which should provide additional cash flow to help support our operations during 2022.
Capital Expenditures:
We had the following material commitments for capital expenditures at September 30, 2022:
Stock Repurchase Program - On December 6, 2021, the board of directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock under the specified terms of a share repurchase program (the “Program”).

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1, “Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our consolidated financial statements. While the selection and application of any accounting policy may involve some level of subjective judgments and estimates, we believe the following accounting policies and estimates are the most critical to our financial statements, potentially involve the most subjective judgments in their selection and application, and are the most susceptible to uncertainties and changing conditions:
| ● | Revenue Recognition / Allowance for Doubtful Accounts; | |
| ● | Allowance for Excess and Obsolete Inventory; | |
| ● | Goodwill and other intangible assets; | |
| ● | Warranty Reserves; | |
| ● | Fair value of warrant derivative liabilities; |
| 59 |
| ● | Stock-based Compensation Expense; | |
| ● | Fair value of warrants; | |
| ● | Fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations; and | |
| ● | Accounting for Income Taxes. |
Revenue Recognition / Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. Revenue is recognized for the shipment of products or delivery of service when all five of the following conditions are met:
| (i) | Identify the contract with the customer; | |
| (ii) | Identify the performance obligations in the contract; | |
| (iii) | Determine the transaction price; | |
| (iv) | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and | |
| (v) | Recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. |
We consider the terms and conditions of the contract and our customary business practices in identifying our contracts under ASC 606. We determine we have a contract when the customer order is approved, we can identify each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred, we can identify the payment terms for the services, we have determined the customer has the ability and intent to pay and the contract has commercial substance. At contract inception we evaluate whether the contract includes more than one performance obligation. We apply judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intent to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services and the products that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services and the products is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Our performance obligations consist of (i) products, (ii) professional services, and (iii) extended warranties.
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. None of our contracts contain a significant financing component.
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”).
Revenue for our video solutions segment is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the control of the promised service to a customer. Revenue is recognized when control of the service is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for our services. We generate all our revenue from contracts with customers.
Revenue for our revenue cycle management segment is recorded on a net basis, as its primary source of revenue is its end-to-end service fees. These service fees are reported as revenue monthly upon completion of our performance obligation to provide the agreed upon services.
| 60 |
Revenue for our ticketing segment is recorded on a gross or net basis based on management’s assessment of whether we are acting as a principal or agent in the transaction. The determination is based upon the evaluation of control over the event ticket, including the right to sell the ticket, prior to its transfer to the ticket buyer.
We sell our tickets held in inventory, which consists of one performance obligation, being to transfer control of an event ticket to the buyer upon confirmation of the order. We act as the principal in these transactions as we own the ticket at the time of sale, therefore we control the ticket prior to transferring to the customer. In these transactions, revenue is recorded on a gross basis based on the value of the ticket and is recognized when an order is confirmed. Payment is typically due upon delivery of the ticket.
We also act as an intermediary between buyers and sellers through the online secondary marketplace. Revenues derived from this marketplace primarily consist of service fees from ticketing operations, and consists of one primary performance obligation, which is facilitating the transaction between the buyer and seller, being satisfied at the time the order has been confirmed. As we do not control the ticket prior to the transfer, we act as an agent in these transactions. Revenue is recognized on a net basis, net of the amount due to the seller when an order is confirmed. The seller is then obligated to deliver the tickets to the buyer per the seller’s listing. Payment is due at the time of sale.
We review all significant, unusual, or nonstandard shipments of product or delivery of services as a routine part of our accounting and financial reporting process to determine compliance with these requirements. Extended warranties are offered on selected products, and when a customer purchases an extended warranty, the associated proceeds are treated as contract liability and recognized over the term of the extended warranty.
For our video solutions segment, our principal customers are state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies, which historically have been low risks for uncollectible accounts. However, we have commercial customers and international distributors that present a greater risk for uncollectible accounts than such law enforcement customers and we consider a specific reserve for bad debts based on their individual circumstances. Our historical bad debts have been negligible, with less than $258,000 charged off as uncollectible on cumulative revenues of $256.5 million since we commenced deliveries during 2006.
For our ticketing segment, our customers are mainly online visitors that pay at the time of the transaction, and we collect the service fees charged with the transaction, thus leading to minimal risk for uncollectible accounts, to which we then consider a specific reserve for bad debts based on their individual circumstances. As we continue to learn more about the collectability related to this recent acquisition, we will track historical bad debts and continue to assess appropriate reserves.
For our revenue cycle management segment, our customers are mainly medium to large healthcare organizations that are charged monthly upon the execution of our services. Being these customers are healthcare organizations with minimal risk for uncollectible accounts, we consider a specific reserve for bad debts based on their individual circumstances. As we continue to learn more about the collectability related to this recently added segment, we will track historical bad debts and continue to assess appropriate reserves.
Allowance for Excess and Obsolete Inventory. We record valuation reserves on our inventory for estimated excess or obsolete inventory items. The amount of the reserve is equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. On a quarterly basis, management performs an analysis of the underlying inventory to identify reserves needed for excess and obsolescence. Management uses its best judgment to estimate appropriate reserves based on this analysis. In addition, we adjust the carrying value of inventory if the current market value of that inventory is below its cost.
| 61 |
Inventories consisted of the following at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
| September 30, 2022 |
December 31, 2021 |
|||||||
| Raw material and component parts– video solutions segment | $ | 4,960,740 | $ | 3,062,046 | ||||
| Work-in-process– video solutions segment | 4,649 | — | ||||||
| Finished goods – video solutions segment | 8,071,218 | 8,410,307 | ||||||
| Finished goods – ticketing segment | 1,698,733 | 2,102,272 | ||||||
| Subtotal | 14,735,340 | 13,574,625 | ||||||

| Total inventories | $ | 10,963,916 | $ | 9,659,536 | ||||
We balance the need to maintain strategic inventory levels to ensure competitive delivery performance to our customers against the risk of inventory obsolescence due to changing technology and customer requirements. As reflected above, our inventory reserves represented 25.6% of the gross inventory balance at September 30, 2022, compared to 28.8% of the gross inventory balance at December 31, 2021. We had $3,771,424 and $3,915,089 in reserves for obsolete and excess inventories at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Total raw materials and component parts were $4,960,740 and $3,062,046 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, an increase of $1,898,694 (62.0%). Finished goods balances were $9,769,951 and $10,512,579 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, a decrease of $742,628 (7.1%). The decrease in finished goods was primarily attributable to a reduction in ticketing inventory of $403,539 at September 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. The slight decrease in the inventory reserve is primarily due to the reduction in finished goods that had a reserve placed on them prior to sale. The remaining reserve for inventory obsolescence is generally provided for the level of component parts of the older versions of our printed circuit boards and the phase out of our DVM-750, DVM-500 Plus and LaserAlly legacy products. Additionally, the Company determined a reasonable reserve for inventory held at the ticket operating segment, in which some inventory items sell below cost or go unsold, thus having to be fully written-off following the event date. We believe the reserves are appropriate given our inventory levels at September 30, 2022.
If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management or there are significant engineering changes to our products that are not anticipated and appropriately managed, additional inventory write-downs may be required in excess of the inventory reserves already established.
Goodwill and other intangible assets. When we acquire a business, we determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the date of acquisition, which may include a significant amount of intangible assets such as customer relationships, software and content, as well as goodwill. When determining the fair values of the acquired intangible assets, we consider, among other factors, analyses of historical financial performance and an estimate of the future performance of the acquired business. The fair values of the acquired intangible assets are primarily calculated using an income approach that relies on discounted cash flows. This method starts with a forecast of the expected future net cash flows for the asset and then adjusts the forecast to present value by applying a discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams. We consider this approach to be the most appropriate valuation technique because the inherent value of an acquired intangible asset is its ability to generate future income. In a typical acquisition, we engage a third-party valuation expert to assist us with the fair value analyses for acquired intangible assets.
Determining the fair values of acquired intangible assets requires us to exercise significant judgment. We select reasonable estimates and assumptions based on evaluating a number of factors, including, but not limited to, marketplace participants, consumer awareness and brand history. Additionally, there are significant judgments inherent in discounted cash flows such as estimating the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, the selection of discount rates, hypothetical royalty rates and contributory asset capital charges. Specifically, the selected discount rates are intended to reflect the risk inherent in the projected future cash flows generated by the underlying acquired intangible assets.
Determining an acquired intangible asset’s useful life also requires significant judgment and is based on evaluating a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the expected use of the asset, historical client retention rates, consumer awareness and trade name history, as well as any contractual provisions that could limit or extend an asset’s useful life.
| 62 |
The Company’s goodwill is evaluated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, which requires goodwill to be assessed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. In addition, an impairment evaluation of our amortizable intangible assets may also be performed if events or circumstances indicate potential impairment. Among the factors that could trigger an impairment review are current operating results that do not align with our annual plan or historical performance; changes in our strategic plans or the use of our assets; restructuring changes or other changes in our business segments; competitive pressures and changes in the general economy or in the markets in which we operate; and a significant decline in our stock price and our market capitalization relative to our net book value.
When performing our annual assessment of the recoverability of goodwill, we initially perform a qualitative analysis evaluating whether any events or circumstances occurred or exist that provide evidence that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units is less than the related carrying amount. If we do not believe that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units is less than the related carrying amount, then no quantitative impairment test is performed. However, if the results of our qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its respective carrying amount, then we perform a two-step quantitative impairment test.
Evaluating the recoverability of goodwill requires judgments and assumptions regarding future trends and events. As a result, both the precision and reliability of our estimates are subject to uncertainty. Among the factors that we consider in our qualitative assessment are general economic conditions and the competitive environment; actual and projected reporting unit financial performance; forward-looking business measurements; and external market assessments. To determine the fair values of our reporting units for a quantitative analysis, we typically utilize detailed financial projections, which include significant variables, such as projected rates of revenue growth, profitability and cash flows, as well as assumptions regarding discount rates, the Company’s weighted average cost of capital and other data.
Our most recent annual impairment test of goodwill was a qualitative analysis conducted as of December 31, 2021 that indicated no impairment. Subsequent to completing our 2021 annual impairment test, no events or changes in circumstances were noted that required an interim goodwill impairment test. Note 1 — Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 10 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements provide additional information regarding the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets.
Warranty Reserves. We generally provide up to a two-year parts and labor standard warranty on our products to our customers. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranties are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency, and average cost of claims. We actively study trends of claims and take action to improve product quality and minimize claims. Our warranty reserves were decreased to $10,040 as of September 30, 2022 compared to $13,742 as of December 31, 2021 as we began to slow our warranty exposures through the roll-off of DVM-750 and DVM-800 units from warranty coverage. Standard warranty exposure on the DVM-800 and DVM-250plus are the responsibility of the contract manufacturers which reduced our overall warranty exposure as these are very popular products in our line. There is a risk that we will have higher warranty claim frequency rates and average cost of claims than our history has indicated on our legacy mirror products on our new products for which we have limited experience. Actual experience could differ from the amounts estimated requiring adjustments to these liabilities in future periods.
Warrant derivative liabilities. On January 14, 2021 and February 1, 2021, the Company issued warrants to purchase a total of 42,550,000 shares of Common Stock. The warrant terms provide for net cash settlement outside the control of the Company under certain circumstances in the event of tender offers. As such, the Company is required to treat these warrants as derivative liabilities which are valued at their estimated fair value at their issuance date and at each reporting date with any subsequent changes reported in the consolidated statements of operations as the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities. Furthermore, the Company revalues the fair value of warrant derivative liability as of the date the warrant is exercised with the resulting warrant derivative liability transitioned to equity.
| 63 |
On August 23, 2022, the Company entered into a Warrant Exchange Agreement (the “Warrant Exchange Agreements”) with each of the Investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the Investors an aggregate of 6,075,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for the cancellation by the Investors of the January Warrants, the Exchange Warrants and the Replacement Originals Warrants. On the date of the exchange, the Company calculated the fair value of the issuance of common shares pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreements, attributing that value to common stock and additional paid in capital. The remaining value of the warrant derivative liability was attributed to an income from change in fair market value of warrant derivative liabilities and gain on extinguishment of warrant derivative liabilities in the consolidated statement of operations. On the date of the Warrant Exchange Agreement, the fair value of the warrant derivative liability was $8.1 million, compared to $9.3 million at June 30, 2022, resulting in income from change in fair market value of warrant derivative liabilities of $1.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Further, the value of the issued shares of Common Stock was $4.5 million, applied to additional paid in capital, resulting in a gain on the extinguishment of warrant derivative liabilities of $3.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Company has utilized the following assumptions in its Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the estimated fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities as of their date of issuance and as of August 23, 2022:
| Issuance date assumptions | August 23, 2022 assumptions | |||||||
| Volatility - range | 106.6 – 166.6 | % | 103.7 | % | ||||
| Risk-free rate | 0.08 – 0.49 | % | 3.17 – 3.36 | % | ||||
| Dividend | 0 | % | 0 | % | ||||
| Remaining contractual term | 0.01 – 5 years | 3.4 – 4.1 years | ||||||
| Exercise price | $ | 2.80 - 3.25 | $ | 3.25 | ||||
| Common stock issuable under the warrants | 42,550,000 | 24,300,000 | ||||||
Stock-based Compensation Expense. We grant stock options to our employees and directors and such benefits provided are share-based payment awards which require us to make significant estimates related to determining the value of our share-based compensation. Our expected stock-price volatility assumption is based on historical volatilities of the underlying stock that are obtained from public data sources and there were 25,000 stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
If factors change and we develop different assumptions in future periods, the compensation expense that we record in the future may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period. There is a high degree of subjectivity involved when using option pricing models to estimate share-based compensation. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect our estimates of fair values of our share-based compensation. Certain share-based payment awards, such as employee stock options, may expire worthless or otherwise result in zero intrinsic value compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. Alternatively, values may be realized from these instruments that are significantly in excess of the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. Although the fair value of employee share-based awards is determined using an established option pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction. In addition, we account for forfeitures as they occur.
Accounting for Income Taxes. Accounting for income taxes requires significant estimates and judgments on the part of management. Such estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, the effective tax rate anticipated to apply to tax differences that are expected to reverse in the future, the sufficiency of taxable income in future periods to realize the benefits of net deferred tax assets and net operating losses currently recorded and the likelihood that tax positions taken in tax returns will be sustained on audit.
As required by authoritative guidance, we record deferred tax assets or liabilities based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using currently enacted rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Authoritative guidance also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of September 30, 2022, we have fully reserved all of our deferred tax assets. Based on a review of our deferred tax assets and recent operating performance, we determined that our valuation allowance should be decreased by $7,615,000 to a balance of $16,980,000 to fully reserve our deferred tax assets at December 31, 2021. We determined that it was appropriate to continue to provide a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022, because of the overall net operating loss carryforwards available. We expect to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until we determine that we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to realize these assets. To the extent we determine that the realization of some or all of these benefits is more likely than not based upon expected future taxable income, a portion or all of the valuation allowance will be reversed. Such a reversal would be recorded as an income tax benefit and, for some portion related to deductions for stock option exercises, an increase in shareholders’ equity.
As required by authoritative guidance, we have performed a comprehensive review of our portfolio of uncertain tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by the FASB, an uncertain tax position represents our expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. We have no recorded liability as of September 30, 2022 representing uncertain tax positions.
| 64 |
We have generated substantial deferred income tax assets related to our operations primarily from the charge to compensation expense taken for stock options, certain tax credit carryforwards and net operating loss carryforwards. For us to realize the income tax benefit of these assets, we must generate sufficient taxable income in future periods when such deductions are allowed for income tax purposes. In some cases where deferred taxes were the result of compensation expense recognized on stock options, our ability to realize the income tax benefit of these assets is also dependent on our share price increasing to a point where these options have intrinsic value at least equal to the grant date fair value and are exercised. In assessing whether a valuation allowance is needed in connection with our deferred income tax assets, we have evaluated our ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to utilize the benefit of the deferred income tax assets. We continue to evaluate our ability to use recorded deferred income tax asset balances. If we fail to generate taxable income for financial reporting in future years, no additional tax benefit would be recognized for those losses, since we will not have accumulated enough positive evidence to support our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards in the future. Therefore, we may be required to increase our valuation allowance in future periods should our assumptions regarding the generation of future taxable income not be realized.
Inflation and Seasonality
As inflation in the United States and abroad has increased and become more prominent, inflationary pressures adversely affected all of the Company’s reporting segments’ gross margins during the first nine months of fiscal year 2022, and are expected to persist for the remainder of fiscal year 2022 and beyond. We do not believe that our Video Solutions and Revenue Cycle Management segments business is seasonal in nature; however, the Ticketing Segment is expected to generate higher revenues during the second half of the calendar year than in the first half due to the increased sporting events throughout the country during the second half of the calendar year in comparison to the first half.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of such disclosure controls and procedures for this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in this Report was recorded, processed, summarized and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate and within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
