+Added: Recent Developments
+Added: COVID-19 Pandemic
+Added: In January 2020, an outbreak of a new strain
+Added: of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China.
+Added: Through the first quarter of 2020, the disease became widespread
+Added: around the world, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic.
+Added: Thereafter, state and local authorities
+Added: in the United States and worldwide have forced many businesses to temporarily reduce or cease operations to slow the spread of
+Added: the COVID-19 pandemic.
+Added: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we
+Added: experienced rapid and immediate deterioration in our business in each of our key vertical markets.
+Added: The elective and forced closures
+Added: of, and implementation of social distancing policies on, businesses across the United States has resulted in materially reduced
+Added: demand for our services by our customers, as our customers purchase our products and services to engage with their end customers
+Added: in a physical space through digital technology, particularly in our theater, sports arena and large entertainment markets.
+Added: reduced demand has resulted in customer orders being delayed.
+Added: These conditions resulted in downward revisions of our internal forecasts
+Added: on current and future projected earnings and cash flows, resulting in a non-cash impairment loss of $10,646 recording during
+Added: the period, and reduced liquidity as described below.
+Added: While we are experiencing an intense curtail
+Added: in current customer demand, our long-term outlook for the digital signage industry remains strong.
+Added: We believe that the digital
+Added: signage industry will experience rapid consolidation, adding scale and enhancing profitability to those companies that emerge as
+Added: the enterprise-level providers within our industry after the COVID-19 pandemic and consolidations.
+Added: We believe that one byproduct
+Added: of the COVID-19 pandemic may be the acceleration of industry consolidation as smaller providers may be unwilling or unable to continue
+Added: business over the course of 2021.
+Added: Given the uncertainty around the extent and
+Added: timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of the COVID-19 pandemic and around the imposition or relaxation of protective
+Added: measures, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact to our future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition at this
+Added: See “Employee Related Expenses”
+Added: within Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies for a discussion of the Company’s cost-control measures, including
+Added: employment compensation reductions designed to achieve preliminary cost savings in light of the significant economic uncertainty
+Added: caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
+Added: Safe Space Solutions
+Added: On April 28, 2020, we announced the joint
+Added: launch of an AI-integrated non-contact temperature inspection kiosk known as the Thermal Mirror with our partner, InReality, LLC
+Added: (“InReality”), for use by businesses as COVID-19 related workplace restrictions are reduced or eliminated.
+Added: we have experience in providing customers digital integration solutions, our launch of the Thermal Mirror involves the development,
+Added: marketing and sale of a new product to new customers involving a joint effort with InReality.
+Added: The product also uses hardware and
+Added: technologies that have not been used with our other customers.
+Added: Throughout the course of the remainder of 2020, the Company and
+Added: InReality have continued to develop incremental use cases and have launched a suite of Safe Space Solutions products addressing
+Added: this market, each of which operate consistently with our primary business model in that they represent a sale of hardware and a
+Added: SaaS-based subscription license services contract.
+Added: Although we believe these products and our
+Added: launch will be successful, there are a number of risks involved in such launch, including investing significant time and resources
+Added: in the launch, which may ultimately not be successful.
+Added: While market response has been encouraging, we may not ultimately recover
+Added: our investment into the launch of these products.

+Added: Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
+Added: Our management is responsible for our financial
+Added: statements and has evaluated the accounting policies to be used in their preparation.
+Added: Our management believes these policies are
+Added: reasonable and appropriate.
+Added: The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 Summary of Significant
+Added: Accounting Policies of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included within Part II, ITEM 8 of this Report.
+Added: The following discussion identifies those accounting policies that we believe are critical in the preparation of our financial
+Added: statements, the judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies and the possibility that materially different
+Added: amounts will be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.
+Added: The preparation of financial statements in
+Added: conformity with GAAP requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
+Added: and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
+Added: expenses during the reporting period.
Our actual results could differ from those estimates.
−Removed: January 1, 2018, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
−Removed: 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective method for all
−Removed: contracts not completed as of the date of adoption.
−Removed: Results for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 are presented
−Removed: under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect
−Removed: for the prior period.
−Removed: Under this method, we concluded that the cumulative effect of applying this guidance was not material to
−Removed: the financial statements and no adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit was required on the adoption date.
−Removed: ASC 606, we account for revenue using the following steps:
−Removed: the contract, or contracts, with a customer
−Removed: the performance obligations in the contract
−Removed: the transaction price
−Removed: the transaction price to the identified performance obligations
−Removed: revenue when, or as, we satisfy our performance obligations
−Removed: Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part
−Removed: II, ITEM 8 of this Report, for a complete discussion of our revenue recognition policies.
−Removed: have not made any material changes in the accounting methodology we use to measure the estimated liability for doubtful accounts
−Removed: during the past two fiscal years.
−Removed: We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the
−Removed: future estimates or assumptions we use to establish the liability for doubtful accounts.
−Removed: However, if actual results are not consistent
−Removed: with our estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to losses or gains that could be material.
−Removed: and Intangible Assets
−Removed: is evaluated for impairment annually as of September 30 and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that
−Removed: impairment may have occurred.
−Removed: We have no indefinite-lived intangible assets.
−Removed: We test goodwill for impairment by comparing the
−Removed: book value to the fair value at the reporting unit level.
−Removed: We have only one reporting unit, and therefore the entire goodwill is
−Removed: allocated to that reporting unit.
−Removed: The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by using a discounted cash flow analyses
−Removed: consisting of various assumptions, including expectations of future cash flows based on projections or forecasts derived from
−Removed: analysis of business prospects and economic or market trends that may occur.
−Removed: We use these same expectations in other valuation
−Removed: models throughout the business.
−Removed: In addition to the discounted cash flow analysis, we utilize a leveraged buy-out model, trading
−Removed: comps and market capitalization to ultimately determine an estimated fair value of our reporting unit based on weighted average
−Removed: calculations from these models.
−Removed: We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable
−Removed: and inherently uncertain.
−Removed: If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, further analysis is performed to measure the impairment
−Removed: addition, our market capitalization could fluctuate from time to time.
−Removed: Such fluctuation may be an indicator of possible impairment
−Removed: of goodwill if our market capitalization falls below its book value.
−Removed: If this situation occurs, we will perform the required detailed
−Removed: analysis to determine if there is impairment.
−Removed: have not made any material changes in our reporting units or the accounting methodology we used to assess impairment of goodwill
−Removed: since September 30, 2019.
−Removed: We updated our goodwill analysis as of December 31, 2019 using actual fourth quarter 2019 results and
−Removed: updated projected 2020 results and concluded no impairment exists.
−Removed: The valuation of goodwill and intangible assets is subject
−Removed: to a high degree of judgment, uncertainty and complexity.
−Removed: We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be
−Removed: a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to test for impairment losses on goodwill.
−Removed: However, if actual
−Removed: results are not consistent with our estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to an impairment charge that could be material.
−Removed: assets include the following and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives as follows:
−Removed: Acquired Intangible Asset:
−Removed: Amortization Period:
−Removed: Technology platform and patents
−Removed: Customer relationships
−Removed: assets are evaluated for impairment if events and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset with
−Removed: its carrying amount.
−Removed: The impairment evaluation involves testing the recoverability of the asset on an undiscounted cash-flow basis,
−Removed: and, if the asset is not recoverable, recognizing impairment charge, if necessary, to reduce the asset’s carrying amount
−Removed: to its fair value.
−Removed: There were no indicators of impairment identified in 2019 and no impairments were recorded for the years ended
−Removed: December 31, 2019 or 2018.
−Removed: for income taxes requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events
−Removed: that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.
−Removed: Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
−Removed: determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
−Removed: These deferred taxes
−Removed: are measured by applying the provisions of tax laws in effect at the balance sheet date, including the impact of the Tax Cuts
−Removed: and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) enacted on December 22, 2017.
−Removed: The Tax Act made broad and significant changes to the U.S.
−Removed: tax code that affects the year ended December 31, 2017, including, but not limited to, a change in the federal rate from 35% to
−Removed: 21% effective January 1, 2018.
−Removed: recognize in income the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period that includes the
−Removed: enactment date.
−Removed: of December 31, 2019 and 2018, a full valuation allowance is recorded against our deferred tax assets to reduce the consolidated
−Removed: deferred tax asset to zero, with the exception of those deferred tax assets generated by net operating losses post-Tax Act.
−Removed: valuation allowance is based, in part, on our estimate of future taxable income, the expected utilization of federal and state
−Removed: tax loss carryforwards, and credits and the expiration dates of such tax loss carryforwards.
−Removed: Significant assumptions are used
−Removed: in developing the analysis of future taxable income for purposes of determining the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets
−Removed: which, in our opinion, are reasonable under the circumstances.

+Added: Revenue Recognition
+Added: We recognized revenue in accordance with
+Added: Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue
+Added: from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).
+Added: Under ASC 606, we account for revenue using the following steps:
+Added: Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer
+Added: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
+Added: Determine the transaction price
+Added: Allocate the transaction price to the identified performance obligations
+Added: Recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy our performance obligations

+Added: Accounting Policies and Note 4 Revenue Recognition in our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II,
+Added: ITEM 8 of this Report, for a complete discussion of our revenue recognition policies.
+Added: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
+Added: We have not made any material changes in
+Added: the accounting methodology we use to measure the estimated liability for doubtful accounts during the past two fiscal years.
+Added: Company’s methodology for calculating the allowance for doubtful accounts consists of (1) reserving for specific receivables
+Added: which (a) are known to be facing serious financial problems, (b) have a trade dispute with the Company, or (c) are significantly
+Added: aged and/or unresponsive, and (2) a general reserve for unaged accounts receivable based on a percentage of revenue each period.
+Added: We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions
+Added: we use to establish the liability for doubtful accounts.
+Added: However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates or assumptions,
+Added: we may be exposed to losses or gains that could be material.
+Added: Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually
+Added: as of September 30 and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred.
+Added: no indefinite-lived intangible assets.

+Added: If the carrying amount exceeds the
+Added: fair value, further analysis is performed to measure the impairment loss.
+Added: In addition, our market capitalization could
+Added: fluctuate from time to time.
+Added: Such fluctuation may be an indicator of possible impairment of goodwill if our market capitalization
+Added: falls below its book value.
+Added: If this situation occurs, we perform the required detailed analysis to determine if there is impairment.
+Added: During the first quarter of 2020, we determined
+Added: that the reduced cash flow projections and the significant decline in our market capitalization as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic
+Added: during the three months ended March 31, 2020 indicated that an impairment loss may have been incurred during the period.
+Added: We qualitatively
+Added: assessed and concluded that it was more likely than not that goodwill was impaired as of March 31, 2020.
+Added: We reviewed our previous
+Added: forecasts and assumptions based on our updated projections that were subject to various risks and uncertainties, including:
+Added: forecasted revenues, expenses and cash flows, including the duration and extent of impact to our business and our alliance partners
+Added: from the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) current discount rates, (3) the reduction in our market capitalization, (4) changes to the regulatory
+Added: environment and (5) the nature and amount of government support that will be provided.
+Added: As a result of this qualitative assessment,
+Added: we concluded that indicators of impairment were present.
+Added: The subsequent quantitative interim impairment assessment of our goodwill
+Added: as of March 31, 2020 resulted in recording an impairment of $10,646 as of March 31, 2020.
+Added: No additional impairment was recorded
+Added: during the remainder of 2020, including as a result of our annual assessment completed as of September 30, 2020.
+Added: We have not made any material changes in
+Added: our reporting units or the accounting methodology we used to assess impairment of goodwill since September 30, 2020.
+Added: The valuation
+Added: of goodwill is subject to a high degree of judgment, uncertainty and complexity.
+Added: We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood
+Added: that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to test for impairment losses on goodwill.
+Added: if actual results are not consistent with our estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to an impairment charge that could be

+Added: in or recorded for the year ended December 31, 2019.
+Added: Accounting for income taxes requires recognition
+Added: of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial

+Added: As of December 31, 2020, a full valuation
+Added: allowance is recorded against our deferred tax.
+Added: The valuation allowance is based, in part, on our estimate of future taxable income,
